The 7th floor of the tower.
The era of crows.
Havel, who had returned to this place once more, looked around.
“Over here! I’ll cast a cheap flight spell, so those who want to buy, come line up quickly!”
“It doesn’t come every day! Half-price flight spell! This is the last day!”
“A private flyer is ready. If you sign a contract after adjusting the price, I will accompany you up to the 71st floor.”
As soon as he entered, a clamorous sound rang out.
The atmosphere was different from the desolate time when there wasn’t a single person.
In particular, the magicians were noisier than ever.
For magicians, flight spells weren’t mainstream magic.
It would be different if you were flying alone.
Flight spells for multiple people were clearly the territory of wind magicians.
Wind magic has the advantage of being able to attack without being seen.
However, it is insufficient to inflict damage on large monsters.
Because of that, the magics that are mostly preferred in the tower are fire, ice, lightning, and so on.
They are mostly magics with certain killing abilities.
Is that why?
The 7th floor was in chaos due to the untimely flight magic shortage.
The era of crows has skies that stretch out wherever you go.
So wind magicians who can fly in the sky were essential.
‘What a mess.’
Thanks to that, rather than risking their lives and conquering the 7th floor, wind magicians made more money by flying through flight spells.
Perhaps that was why many people have been learning wind magic recently.
As a result, there were quite a few magicians who were not familiar with flight magic and fell.
Of course, magic is not something that can be learned in an instant.
“Hyung, don’t you need a flight spell?”
At that moment, a magician approached Havel and tried to solicit him.
He was grinning, probably because he had made a lot of money today.
“I don’t really need it. I can fly.”
“Hmm, you’re a magician, but you look different.”
He didn’t talk to Havel any further, recognizing that he was a magician.
Unfortunately, he was far from being a magician.
‘Where can I get some information?’
Havel looked around.
He saw many people bargaining with magicians.
However, there were no guys who particularly stood out.
Since things had turned out this way, Habell decided to ask the Magician he had just spoken to.
“Mister Magician, I have something I’d like to ask you.”
“Hmm? Trying to do business?”
“No, I’d like some information. Is there anyone who knows a lot about the 7th stage?”
As Habell said that, he rummaged through his pocket, took out a gold coin, and handed it over.
The Magician’s eyes opened wide when he saw the gold coin, and then he smiled broadly.
“Hey, you’ve come to the right place! The place where I operate is completely specialized in the 7th stage.”
The Magician’s eyes sparkled as they fixed themselves on the gold coin.
There is only one time when a person is the most honest.
When there is money in front of them.
Habell smiled.
“I’ll give it to you if you guide me.”
“Haha, I’ll take you there right away!”
He quickly packed up his things.
Then, carrying his bundle, he headed towards the cliff of the entrance island.
“You said you could fly?”
“Yes.”
“Haha, let’s go right away. The Climber’s Guild where I operate is quite a distance away.”
As he said that, he skillfully cast Wind Magic.
He may look like a gentle old man on the outside, but he had reached the 7th stage.
Of course, his flight magic skills were top-notch.
And next to him, Habell followed along, walking leisurely.
The sight of Habell walking in the sky while carrying a backpack looked strange even to the Magician.
“You use strange magic. No. Is it an artifact?”
“You could say that.”
He was puzzled because he didn’t feel any mana when he used magic.
It was an unwritten rule not to pry into a Climber’s personal information.
So he didn’t ask him about it any further.
“What’s your name?”
“My name is Balob Hamse.”
“Balob, let me just ask you one thing. How many floors of the 7th stage have been cleared right now?”
At Habell’s question, Balob looked up.
“Hmm, from what I’ve heard, it’s up to the 76th floor.”
That’s quite fast.
“It seems like it’s been a while since you’ve been to the Tower?”
“That’s right. It’s been about three months.”
“Then it makes sense. The Five Great Clans are sending out their full force, and the other Clans are following suit. The climbing speed is different from before.”
Habell pondered for a moment after hearing that.
‘Does that mean that the difficulty of clearing has rather decreased?’
I’m not sure how strong the real power of the Five Great Clans is.
‘Considering the level of the Evil Clan when I was there.’
No matter how strong they are, I didn’t expect the invasion to progress this quickly.
‘But I’m still curious.’
How strong the real power of the Five Great Clans is.
I’ll find out soon enough as I climb the Tower.
“That’s it.”
Havel decided to look forward to that and landed on the floating island that Barold pointed to.
The floating island, covered with thick raven feathers, was quiet.
“Our Guild caught the raven that owns the island. That’s why it’s so quiet.”
He pointed to one side of the mountain with his finger.
As he said, a single raven lay dead there.
“The ravens on the 70th floor have a strong sense of territory. When the owner dies, the other ravens won’t come near until the body rots and decomposes.”
“Hmm.”
Havel nodded with an uninterested expression.
“Follow me. It’s not my job to sell information.”
Barold led Havel inside right away.
After passing through the dark forest, a building soon caught Havel’s eye.
The name ‘녹로드’ was written on the large-scale building.
It seemed to be the name of the Guild.
“Hoho, we’re quite good at building things. We built this as soon as we reached the 7th floor.”
Barold laughed proudly.
Then, he opened the door to the building and went inside.
The building, made of dark wood, looked quite old-fashioned.
“Hey everyone, we have a guest! A big shot has arrived!”
He went inside with an excited voice.
Havel followed him, and the door slammed shut behind him.
At the same time as the door closed, two men swung their swords.
Barold’s eyes sparkled with greed as he faced Havel.
Havel stared at him and did nothing.
When Barold thought it was a sign of surrender.
Clang!
The two swords that had pierced Havel’s neck and back broke.
The eyes of the men who had attacked him widened.
That was when Barold’s magic was completed.
“Hot damn! Eat this!”
As the wind blades rushed towards Havel, Havel deflected them with the back of his hand.
Clang!
The deflected wind blades hit the head of the man who was about to take out his sub-weapon.
Thud!
In a flash, his body collapsed to the ground, half of his head gone.
“Wh, what?”
Vallob’s eyes widened in bewilderment.
Habell had blocked the swords of the two men, as expected.
He was a man who had climbed to the 7th hierarchy on his own, so it was only natural that he was no ordinary man.
However, the wind magic he had just used was optimized for one-on-one combat.
A high-level wind magic spell that could even cut off the opponent’s aura.
It didn’t make sense to deflect it with a blade.
But Habell wasn’t in the mood to explain.
He had already sensed the presence of the floating island since he had entered this place.
This island was a trap from the very beginning.
“Ha, haha, this is amazing. We’ve caught a big one.”
Vallob hid his bewilderment as much as possible and put on a relaxed expression.
“But I’m sorry. Since the moment you entered the floating island of Nokload, there was no way out. There are barrier spells and personnel everywhere.”
He looked at Habell and laughed mockingly, as if telling him to give up.
“If you surrender everything you have, I’ll let you go.”
Those who climb to the 7th floor usually have a lot of possessions.
So Nokload would rob those who seemed wealthy in this way.
Considering that their evil deeds had not been revealed until now, there was no need to explain what happened to those who were robbed by them.
Habell lightly touched the back of his neck.
Then he tilted his head and asked Vallob,
“So, about the information?”
As Habell asked, Vallob swallowed his laughter.
“Are you still asking for information?”
As soon as he finished speaking, people appeared on the 2nd-floor balcony.
Each of them had long-range attacks ready and aimed at Habell.
“We don’t want to waste our energy either.”
As he said that, Vallob put his hand in his pocket and patted his stomach.
“Ah, by the way, there’s something I forgot to ask.”
He grinned at Habell.
“What’s your name?”
Habell answered obediently when he heard the question.
He also needed to know the information, so he would exchange information by giving his own.
“I am Habell from Banphelion.”
The moment Habell answered, Vallob’s expression hardened.
A deep smile spread across Habell’s lips.
Creepy!
Vallob, who felt his sincerity, immediately affected.
“Spread out!”
At that moment, a barrage of ranged attacks poured down on Habell.
A rain of arrows, sword strikes, and even magic.
The attacks that poured down all at once created a cloud of black smoke.
And from beneath that smoke, armed figures leapt out.
They skillfully jumped into the smoke.
Ballop quietly swallowed his breath at the sight.
‘If Habell belongs to Pandelion.’
It was definitely the name of the rank 7 climber who climbed the tower.
Those who saw Habell’s climb said the same thing.
He was an outrageous monster.
But no matter how strong he was, he was facing this many people.
‘He may climb the tower quickly.’
But this side was more experienced in dealing with people.
‘We caught a big fish.’
That was a good thing.
A way to earn more using his body came to mind.
Clang, clang! Clank! Thud!
At that moment, the sound of someone collapsing was heard from within the smoke.
Ballop smiled at the sound.
Thud!
That was until the sound of one more person collapsing was heard.
Thud, thud!
And when that sound didn’t stop.
Ballop sensed something was wrong.
“Ma, mages! Launch a second attack…”
That was the moment.
Swish!
Something suddenly poured out from the smoke.
They were none other than the weapons of those who had just entered the smoke.
The weapons flew through the air and poured down on the mages all at once.
“Eek!”
“Kyah!”
As if they had a will of their own.
The freely moving weapons slaughtered the mages.
Belop’s mouth fell open at the sight.
No magic could be felt from the weapons.
And that meant.
Those weapons were all moving by aura alone.
“Wh, what!?”
Unable to understand what was going on, he looked at the smoke.
You have to see it to know.
He couldn’t help but create wind magic to blow away the smoke.
At that moment, the sight that entered his eyes made him stagger back.
There, people were piled up.
As if they had been smashed in one blow.
Every single one of them had collapsed.
And standing in the center of them was a man.
From noble mtl dot com
He picked up a dagger from the floor and twirled it.
And when he let go, the dagger shot up into the sky.
The flying dagger headed towards Balob.
Balob immediately cast a defensive spell, but it was no use.
Crash!
The dagger shattered the defensive spell and headed towards Balob.
Swish!
The dagger floated and cut the tendons in Balob’s legs and arms.
And before he could even scream, it thudded into his back.
“Ugh.”
He fell to the floor, his body trembling.
For a moment, a shadow began to cover his head.
Balob looked up with a depressed expression.
What entered his eyes was none other than Habell.
Seeing him, the white-haired Grim Reaper, Balob pissed himself.
The ridiculous stories people had been spreading were true.
This guy was a monster.
“So.”
Habell trampled on the dagger that was stuck in Balob’s back and asked.
“The information?”
Give me the information.
