The Swordsman Genius Returnee Even Swallows Immortality - The Swordsman Genius Returnee Even Swallows Immortality chapter 58

58

[ The achievement ‘The One Who Defeated the Variant Sea God, the Ruler of the 6th Stage’ is registered. ]

[ The ‘Sea God’s’ bad luck sheeps into your body. ]

[ ‘Manuscript’ is embedded in your body. ]

[The Tower observes your actions every day.]

– Strength has increased by 120.

– Agility has increased by 123.

– Tenacity has increased by 125.

– Aptitude has increased by 109.

– Proficiency has increased by 110.

– Calamity has increased by 101.

Habel looked at the letters listed before his eyes.

The numbers on the right were as high as an average of three digits.

It was definitely around the 6th hierarchy, so the amount of Calamity he was absorbing was unusual.

[Your existence is becoming more solid.]

[The Serpent of Wisdom has reached the second root.]

At the same time, the letters he had seen before were listed once again.

‘Should I ask Mobius or Edler casually?’

The whisperer, the venom of God, might tell him some decent information.

He still had a lot of information to ask them.

He should exploit them as much as he could while he had the chance.

On top of that, what he had been waiting for was finally finished.

[‘Agility’ has completed Transcendence.]

[‘Agility’ is Transcending to a new stage.]

[‘Light Speed’ has completed Transcendence.]

Habel lightly stepped onto the sea.

At that moment, Habel’s reflection disappeared along with his extended leg.

When Habel, who didn’t even leave behind a breeze, stopped disappearing.

He had arrived right in front of the staircase that descended from the sky.

Fast.

It was so fast that it couldn’t even be compared to before.

“I guess they didn’t just call it Light Speed for nothing.”

With this, he had completed all the Transcendence he could do right now.

The remaining Transcendence was only Proficiency and Calamity.

Calamity was still far from reaching four digits.

[‘Proficiency’ has exceeded the value of 1000.]

[One of the attributes acquired for the Transcendence of ‘Proficiency’ will be consumed.]

[Target ‘Manuscript’]

[The Transcendence of ‘Proficiency’ begins.]

[99 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds until the Transcendence of ‘Proficiency’]

Just in time, Proficiency also exceeded a thousand and began Transcending.

Proficiency was one of the values that was difficult to notice along with Aptitude.

He also became curious about the Transcendence of Proficiency.

‘Is it really only Calamity now?’

If he were to Transcend Calamity, just how strong would he become?

Where would the end of this unknown, infinite value be?

Havel didn’t know.

However, he knew very well what he had to do.

Continue climbing the tower and rebuild Banpellion.

Only that one thought.

So Havel stepped onto the stairs.

And with each step he took, the horizon grew wider.

Far away, ships were beginning to flock towards it.

It meant that the raiders who had climbed the island had cleared the hierarchy.

When the hierarchy is cleared, the stairs have a long time left.

That’s why it happened.

Rather, they intended to follow the stairs before disappearing.

Among them would be Mobius, Baria, and even Fenbola.

Havel climbed the stairs that reached the end of the sky, leaving them all under his feet.

And the moment he reached the end.

A voice came to Havel’s ears.

[Please announce the name of the first climber to pass the 7th hierarchy.]

It was similar to what he had experienced in the past, the Demon Palace.

Havel opened his mouth as if to answer it.

“Havel, from Banpellion.”

And the moment he announced that he was Banpellion.

Ta-da!

Along with the fanfare that rang out from somewhere, fireworks erupted simultaneously from all over the tower.

The fireworks that erupted filled the sky of the entire tower.

Many of those belonging to the tower looked blankly at the sight.

The fireworks that adorned the sky were magnificent.

And the fireworks were the result for many years.

“Who, who cleared the 6th hierarchy?”

“It’s a new era! A new era has opened in Babel!”

“Crazy, go up now! From now on, those who climb first will change the era!”

Climbers from all over the tower were excited.

Until now, the tower had been at a standstill due to various circumstances.

However, today, the tower finally started operating for the first time.

That fact reignited the flame in the hearts of the climbers.

The adventurous spirit of climbing the tower someday and monopolizing all the fame and fortune.

And that fire spread to others.

“Seriously, did you climb the tower?”

August, the third son of August who came by ship, looked up at the tower blankly.

When there was a commotion on the 6th floor.

He realized that it was Havel’s doing.

And as soon as the sea became calm, he came to the place where the commotion was heard.

As expected, Habell eventually cleared the 6th stage.

Daslan heard the alarm ringing loudly.

His family was contacting him to ask what the situation was.

And it would be the same for the other families in the Tower.

Daslan slowly brushed through his ashen hair.

“Penbola.”

At his side was Pembola.

“Now the situation in the Tower will completely change. The information from the author has reached the ears of not only the Five Great Families but also all the families. Now the real ones will climb the Tower.”

The secret operations of the families, including the Five Great Families.

In order to adjust the difficulty of the Tower, the strongest of the family heads were not able to climb the Tower.

That rule had been secretly observed all along.

However, with the appearance of Havell, that rule was completely shattered.

The difficulty of the Tower had become a mess because of his appearance.

And Daslan didn’t know.

Even the secret organization of the underworld, Memento Mori, with whom the Five Great Families had made a deal.

The Tower had entered an era of great upheaval.

“Can you handle that?”

The Tower will be caught in a complete storm.

He asked if the ship would be wrecked in that storm and could withstand it.

Hearing that question, Pembola looked up the stairs.

Below him, countless people were already competing to climb the stairs.

“He who fears that the ship will be wrecked and will not set sail into the sea and will never see the wide world in his life.”

Penbola said so and set sail.

“Going through the storm is also the skill of the helmsman. The Golden Generation will go to the 7th stage.”

Hearing his judgment, Daslan lowered his hair that he had brushed up.

“The youngest is just a big dreamer.”

At the same time, Augustus’s sails were also spreading.

The wind blowing from behind pushed the two ships forward.

“I don’t think it’s time to compete. One of my brothers may come, or maybe my father.”

He said so and looked at Pembola.

“What do you think? Should we form an alliance with one of the Five Great Families?”

Daslan stopped looking at Penbola funny.

Right now, they had to chase after Habell, the biggest competitor in climbing the Tower.

In order to take the lead among the Five Great Families, time was running out.

At that moment, there was a commotion below their ship.

“Baria?”

When Penbola looked down, he saw Baria and Mobius there.

“Let’s go together!”

At that moment, even Azarias jumped down and got on Mobius’s skeleton ship.

“I’ll go too!”

At the same time, an unexpected figure appeared.

She was none other than Havel’s guide, Elasia Celensia.

She had kicked Celensia to the curb and boarded the Golden Age.

Then she followed along towards Baria’s side.

“Isn’t that young lady dangerous?”

The spearman warned, and she straightened her back.

“I’ve put up with being carried around by Lord Havel. What could be dangerous? And I have formed a cooperative relationship with no less than Banpellion.”

Hearing those words, everyone looked back at her with surprised expressions.

They hadn’t known that she had finished talking directly with Banpellion in the meantime.

“Elasia Celensia, daughter of the Celensia family, Banpellion’s first cooperative family. Of course, I should follow Lord Havel.”

She was clearly spreading out her welcome mat. This was the sound of it.

For once, Baria envied the fact that her family wasn’t one of the five great families.

No matter how direct the line, when it came to the five great families, the size was simply too large.

No matter what happened, they couldn’t help but be slow to move.

From noble mtl dot com

This was why Penbola had tried to kick his family to the curb.

Baria looked up at Penbola, who was on the Golden Age, and smiled wryly.

“Sorry, Penbola, we’re going separately. If a group the size of the Golden Age moves, we won’t be able to follow Lord Havel.”

Those words were the same as saying that she was leaving the Golden Age.

“Next time we meet, we may be enemies.”

When Baria said those words, Penbola let out a hearty laugh.

To think that Baria would move so aggressively.

Well, this was the relationship they had now.

As such, he absolutely didn’t want to let go of Havel.

Even in Pembola’s eyes, the person who remained by his side seemed destined to be recorded in history.

Baria would want to follow him, even for the sake of her family.

“Take care.”

Now, the tower was completely unknown territory.

When Pembola gave her advice, Baria nodded.

Clack-clack.

The skull sitting on the skeletal ship, possessed by Edler’s soul, gnashed its teeth.

With that signal, the skeleton ship instantly began to move forward.

At the same time, in the sky above the entire tower.

Golden letters began to be carved.

[June 21, 101, 18:43:21.]

[The 6th stage has been cleared.]

A name was clearly carved below the letters that listed the time since the tower had appeared.

[Havel, affiliated with Banpellion]

A name that everyone would never forget.

And outside the tower, someone.

For the monsters that transcended time, it was a name they would never forget.

Once again, the moment resounded throughout the world.

* * *

[Achievement ‘First to enter the 7th Order’ has been registered. ]

Along with the floating words, Habell slowly opened his eyes.

He had skipped the 70th-floor safe zone and entered the 7th Order.

The 7th Order was completely uncharted territory.

Of course, neither he nor anyone else in the world had ever set foot in the 7th Order.

So Habell slowly looked around.

It was as if he had cleared a stage in a dungeon and moved on to the next floor.

Habell carefully observed his surroundings.

Caw— Caw—.

At that moment, the sound of a crow echoed.

Habell looked up and saw a flock of jet-black crows flying across the sky.

There were so many crows that they covered the sky.

They flew diligently across the red sunset sky.

Looking around, he could see black trees here and there.

Strangely enough, the trees were covered in crow patterns.

Were they some kind of symbol?

Habell slowly began to walk between the trees.

‘The terrain is just a normal mountainous area, I guess.’

There were dense black trees and grassy mountains.

Strangely enough, the grass was the kind of fern that had only been found in fossils long ago.

It felt as if time itself had returned to the distant past, the Paleozoic Era.

‘The oxygen saturation also feels high.’

He felt a completely different atmosphere from the 6th Order.

At that moment, Habell’s feet came to an abrupt stop.

To be precise, he had no choice but to stop.

There was nowhere for Habell to step in front of him.

Swooshhhhhhhhh!

The sound of a waterfall echoed from somewhere.

The moment Habell turned his head towards the sound.

What unfolded before him was a completely unexpected sight.

Countless clouds spread out beneath Habell’s feet.

What could be seen through the clouds was a landmass.

A gigantic landmass made up of various things.

These lands floated in the sky.

Caw!

At that moment, the cry of a crow echoed once again.

Habell turned his head.

There, he saw a crow of an absurd size.

On a floating island the size of a small island, the raven perched like it was in its nest.

Upon look closer, it was quite different from a raven.

The cry was similar, but it had a more bizarre and primal feel to it.

The teeth protruding from its beak especially contributed to that feeling.

“Could it be that each island is a nest?”

Havel realized belatedly.

This land, including the place he was standing on, was the nest of that raven.

The ravens flying in the sky were just too far away to tell their size.

They must have been ravens of the same size as the one he was seeing now.

Havel swallowed his laughter.

He wondered who would say it wasn’t a higher rank beyond the intermediate rank.

A completely different hierarchy had emerged.

Thud!

At the same time, black ravens began to gather above Havel’s head.

The enormous ones that could cast a giant shadow on the island had discovered Havel.

Caw!

As if communicating, they cried out in unison.

At the same time, black feathers fluttered as the ravens poured down.

“Oh my.”

Rank 7

Raven Age

Let’s have a grand coming-of-age ceremony.
