Mobius.

The seventh candidate of the Whisperer’s venom.

Originally, he was supposed to conquer the Tower and absorb the evil.

His black hair fluttered as he ran.

The reason was a message from one of the venom candidates a little while ago.

[The Whisperer has been commanded. Take your subordinates and leave the Tower immediately.]

When he heard those words, Mobius had doubts.

As well he should, for he had received the Whisperer’s orders directly.

He had come to clear the Tower.

‘What’s going on?’

He wondered for a moment, but soon decided to follow the order.

Before him, a man from a certain clan collapsed, his neck twisted.

As if all his life force had been sucked away.

The sight of the man who met his end with his skin clinging to his bones was terribly gruesome.

Mobius retrieved the key from the man’s pocket and kept it safe.

It was thanks to his careful nature that he had prepared for such a situation.

And then he immediately left the island.

He plummeted down towards the sea.

Then, his bone ship that had risen from the depths of the sea caught him.

Mobius sat on the ship and began to sail swiftly across the sea.

The Whisperer’s command had come down.

This was more urgent than clearing the Tower.

The ship, cutting through the water, began to move at a rapid pace.

The destination was the giant’s island where his subordinates were.

Not long after that.

His eyes flickered once.

Volcanic ash began to appear in the direction of the giant’s island.

Volcanic ash that turned the sky a grayish color.

Judging from the spread of the volcanic ash, the scale of the eruption seemed enormous.

From noble mtl dot com

‘Something’s wrong.’

Could his subordinates have opened the key?

The mutated evil species have dozens of times the power of the island’s masters.

Thanks to that, even if they don’t eliminate all the other island masters.

If they catch a few of them, the requirement to go up to the 6th floor will be met.

It is known that the clear condition for the 6th floor is to kill all the evil species that are the masters of the island.

But in reality, all you have to do is meet the standard of evil that exists on the 6th floor.

‘For that, instead of ordinary evil species.’

You just need to summon and eliminate mutated evil species that have a large amount of evil.

The problem is the difficulty of the mutated evil species.

‘Our subordinates alone won’t be able to handle this; it’s a mutated monster.’

He had told them to act only when he was present.

However, it seemed that an unexpected situation had occurred.

Furthermore, the ominous aura he felt was far from ordinary.

That aura was certainly the most dangerous of any mutated monster he had encountered so far.

‘What kind of monster has popped up?’

Mobius frowned.

Even a mutated monster created by breaking the rules shouldn’t be this strong.

Mobius clicked his tongue.

If he had to fight it, it seemed like it would be more difficult than he thought.

‘For now, the Whispering One’s orders take precedence.’

The island was where the Five Great Clans were located anyway.

They would suffer some damage, but they would figure it out on their own.

Mobius quickly searched for his subordinates as he flew over the sea.

With all the commotion on the island, they must have drifted away.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long for Mobius to find his subordinates.

They were floating on the water inside magic bubbles.

They looked like they were being carried away somewhere.

The problem was that there was someone among them that he didn’t recognize.

It was a female mage.

“Oh, Lord Mobius.”

When Hwasan turned to look at him, his face turned pale.

It was as if he had just met someone he shouldn’t have.

Mobius showed a questioning expression at his reaction.

He sailed his bone ship towards them.

“What happened? You guys are a mess.”

“Ah, that’s…”

“Save it. The Whispering One’s orders have come down. We’re leaving now.”

Hwasan scratched at the scar under his bandages.

It was something he did when he was in an awkward situation.

“Hwasan?”

“Just a moment!”

While Mobius was showing his confusion.

The female mage suddenly raised her hand.

With her turquoise hair flowing behind her, she glared at him.

“Are you the leader of these men? Wait. Lord Habell will be here soon.”

“Habell?”

Mobius’s eyes narrowed in question.

Habell? Who was that?

‘This woman doesn’t seem to be the one who did this to my men.’

Hwasan and Changjab looked like they had been beaten up by something, and Halmeom was absent-minded.

She kept murmuring, “This is a disaster.”

Halmeom suddenly lost her mind the moment she saw the dawn pouring from the sky.

Halmeom’s ability to sense an omen was better than others.

It seemed like she must have seen something.

The one who made the three of them like this was definitely not the magician here.

She was good in her own way.

She could deal with Halmeom, who had no fighting ability at all.

It was impossible for Changjab or Hwasan.

However, for some reason, all three of them were very nervous in front of the magician’s remarks.

The three of them definitely didn’t dare to treat her roughly, as if they were afraid of her.

‘What the hell happened?’

His subordinates were not so polite.

‘I don’t know what it is.’

It seemed like this Havel, whom the woman mentioned, had something to do with it.

“Don’t worry. I’ll go right away.”

If the order was given, it would be carried out.

That was Mobius.

He didn’t care if it was Havel or the magician in front of him.

He just followed orders.

“Wait, I just said that Lord Havel is coming soon.”

Then Ellacia immediately raised her arm and stopped him.

“If it’s difficult because of this woman, just take her with you. Let’s just go out and listen to her story.”

However, before Ellacia could finish speaking.

Mobius took out a crystal skull from his pocket.

Ellacia felt uneasy as the skull began to glow.

It was because she felt that some kind of evil energy was condensing.

“Hey, wait a minute!”

“You’re noisy.”

At that moment, a bone that had risen from his skull’s stomach attacked Ellacia.

“Ugh!”

In an instant, she tried to respond to the magic.

However, her defensive magic shattered as soon as it touched the bone.

‘Anti-magic?!’

Bones that crush magic.

The moment she was bewildered after seeing something ridiculous, black flames sprang up.

As the wall of black flames rising in front of the bone stopped the bone for a moment.

Ellacia jumped into the sea without hesitation.

Mobius’ eyes, who saw the sight, slowly turned to Hwasan.

It was none other than Hwasan who had used the black flame.

“…Hwasan?”

Mobius glared at him as if to ask what he was doing.

However, Hwasan spoke as he withdrew his outstretched hand.

“It was an act of self-preservation.”

That woman and Habell were acquaintances.

If he had taken that woman away for no reason, he might have come looking for him directly.

This might have been the only way to save his life.

Even Changjabi nodded in agreement with Hwasan’s judgment.

“Tsk, let’s go out and listen.”

Mobius said no more and activated the Crystal Skull.

Then, with a flash of light, the four people disappeared.

Above the rippling sea.

Ellacia popped her head out of the water with a plop.

“Whew, seriously, what is this. What is this hardship.”

She sighed deeply at the feeling of her liver shrinking.

Habell, who had been struck by Changjabi and Hwasan, were certainly dangerous characters.

But the last man to appear, Mobius, was truly dangerous.

Still, Habell was there, so she trusted him and tried to act a little cheeky.

But if she had pushed it any further, she didn’t know what would have happened to her.

“Ugh, I want to rest while drinking warm cocoa.”

Why was she here like this?

The moment she felt miserable, she felt a shadow over her head.

“If you wish, I can let you drink cocoa for the rest of your life.”

Ellacia flinched and looked up at the words that were suddenly uttered.

There, as expected, was Habell.

As soon as she saw Habell, she spoke incoherently.

“H, Habell-nim, I did my best! I really risked my life to tie him up!”

She poured out her grievances.

“I saw it all, so I don’t think I need to say anything.”

“Y, yes? You saw it all?”

She opened her eyes wide.

She wondered why he hadn’t caught her if he had seen everything.

However, the moment she saw the smile on Habell’s lips, Ellacia felt a chill.

“T, then Habell-nim, I am the Mage Corps Commander of Celensia. I am a busy person.”

“Then, if Celensia disappears, you won’t be busy anymore.”

“I will quit being the Mage Corps Commander starting today!”

“Just kidding.”

Ellacia couldn’t think of it as a joke at all.

No wonder, because the man in front of her really had that kind of power.

Havel knew this fact well.

“Havel-nim, everyone around you will leave.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll treat the one I leave around well.”

Elasia just hung her head with a sullen expression.

He grabbed the back of her neck and lifted her up, and she cast a levitation spell.

Havel roughly picked her up and said:

“Let’s go outside the tower to catch them. Be ready to chase.”

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have learned tracking magic.

Elasia wanted to cry, but she held back.

Because there was no one here to comfort her.

And she also noticed Havel’s intentions.

Havel intended to approach the whisperer beyond them.

He would send them out as bait instead.

“Hold on tight.”

So all she could do was hold on to Havel.

After a while, Elasia quietly set a new record for descending the tower.

* * *

After Mobius’ crystal skull glowed.

The four of them quickly exited the tower.

This crystal skull was also an item that twisted the tower’s rules.

It was a rare item that allowed one to go outside the tower whenever they wanted.

Mobius took good care of the skull and looked around at the three.

“So, Hwasan, I’d like to hear your story.”

His actions were like that a little while ago.

Mobius wondered what had happened to Hwasan.

At Mobius’ question, Hwasan looked around the tower.

This place was quite far from Babel.

It was a place they had preemptively secured in case they had to leave the tower in a hurry.

If they were here, they could quickly join up with the Poison Dragons.

However, Hwasan’s eyes looked anxiously in the direction of the tower.

“Mobius-nim, how long do you think it will take to get from there to the tower?”

“It will take at least three days.”

The three days Mobius mentioned would definitely be according to his standards.

As he heard the standard, Hwasan’s face began to harden.

“Babel isn’t that far from here, right? I think it would be better to run away right now, if possible.”

“Is it that bad?”

Mobius’ eyes opened narrowly.

It seemed like this was the first time he had seen Hwasan this scared.

“Hwasan, tell me properly. What’s going on?”

“Um, there’s someone named Havel from the Banpelion. From what I’ve personally felt, he’s a monster at the level of the Poison Dragons.”

“Are you saying that you’re on the same level as the vipers?”

The next words shocked even Möbius.

They were vipers directly empowered by the Whisperer.

He couldn’t believe that Huashang, who had witnessed such vipers, would say such a thing.

“I think you should leave for now.”

He might come here any minute.

That’s why Huashang sincerely advised him.

Möbius somewhat trusted Huashang.

He didn’t know about anything else, but he was honest when it came to his own life.

Talking about vipers was like putting his own life on the line.

Möbius soon nodded.

If they were really on the same level as vipers, even Möbius wouldn’t be able to fight them.

Möbius was about to leave.

Thud-

Footsteps began to echo from somewhere.

Amidst the footsteps that strangely drew one’s attention.

A man wearing high heels appeared.

He was wearing a suit that covered his entire body and a fedora.

And he was holding a cane in his hand.

He looked like a gentleman to anyone.

The moment he faced him, Möbius immediately lowered his posture.

And so did the other three.

“Möbius, long time no see.”

He smiled kindly. He was none other than the apostle of the Whisperer.

And one of the six vipers.

Baphomet.
