Chapter 133

 

Tower’s Kia?

 

Why could she feel that from Ramona?

 

The fight was evenly matched, but soon tilted to one side.

 

Crash!

 

“…Hah, that Kia.”

 

Mint had to make a choice, and at the same time acknowledged that Ramona had grown dramatically once again.

 

‘No wonder the Next Boss right after me fell.’

 

Ramona certainly didn’t have the skills to defeat the man who became Boss after Mint.

 

Then one more question remained.

 

To become the Tower’s Boss, you must kill the Boss, or they must die.

 

But she became the next King while the previous Boss was still alive.

 

‘That must be related to that Tower’s Kia.’

 

Though Mint wasn’t interested in anything other than her own goal, she couldn’t afford to be that way now.

 

The fight wasn’t long, but it was enough to determine the outcome.

 

Ramona was strong.

 

Thud.

 

“…Hah. Aha. Ahaha. Hehe.”

 

However, Mint was simply stronger.

 

The law of the jungle after a long time.

 

Ramona, who had become the weak one in the formula where the defeated are devoured, laughed without showing a trace of despair.

 

Mad laughter filled the space.

 

Mint once again thought, ‘There are many madmen around me who laugh like crazy.’

 

“…Hello, Boss. Were you here?”

 

The current Boss, Ramona, smiled sweetly at Mint.

 

It was the look of a beast that had found its prey.

 

Regardless, Mint quietly observed Ramona.

 

She never thought she could hide her identity forever anyway, whether on the 91st Floor or after.

 

The reason Mint had hidden her traces even from her roommate and subordinates was when she was on the lower floors.

 

If they knew, they would interfere.

 

And she thought such interference would be bothersome.

 

After defeating Ramona and once Helios came out of that Mental Kia Space, it would finally be the 91st Floor.

 

She was feeling that it didn’t matter much anymore.

 

Just observing the strange appearance of the one she must face on the 100th Floor.

 

‘How can this be possible?’

 

For the Tower to provide and allow the use of the Tower’s Kia. To help a specific person.

 

Originally, the Tower was merely a massive Kia mass.

 

A merciless judge and punisher that brought criminals inside and cast them into Endless Hell.

 

Moving this at will was impossible even for past bosses, even Mama or Mint.

 

But that gray, cloud-like Kia was unmistakably the Tower’s Kia.

 

If it created Ramona’s dramatic and abnormal strength. What else could it create?

 

“Hah, our Boss. Hehe. Why did you abandon us? Were we not good enough?”

 

“….”

 

Mint had met and been with Ramona since she was just a nobody prisoner.

 

Yes, there might have been times when they called each other colleagues. Though that was a distant memory.

 

From the day those who could be called Mint’s ‘colleagues’ died at Ramona’s hands, that was no longer possible.

 

It wasn’t because Mint was moral or virtuous that she felt repulsion toward Ramona.

 

It was annoying. If Hades obsessed over and showed interest in her every move.

 

Ramona was intoxicated by and obsessed with the overwhelming ‘power’ that Mint possessed.

 

The difference from Hades was, yes. She resembled a fanatic who worshipped and revered Hades more than Hades himself.

 

She would be a disgusting human in a different sense. But Mint was fine with it.

 

“I was finally wondering if Boss had been executed or something. Or maybe had broken out of prison.”

 

Even if she eliminated people around Mint. Even if she got caught badmouthing and shamelessly retorted.

 

Her appearance of being faithful to her desires wasn’t that unpleasant.

 

“If the Tower hadn’t told me Boss was here, I would never have known for life.”

 

“…The Tower, what do you mean?”

 

Because they knew each other well, when Mint pressed down on her ankle, Ramona spilled everything.

 

The way she rolled her eyes while talking, it was obvious she was thinking of other options by throwing information as bait.

 

“Was the entertainment fun? Boss, come back now. The Tower wants you.”

 

Ramona’s poison attacked Mint from behind. Mint ignored the attack even though she knew about it.

 

She deliberately let it hit her.

 

When the poison thoroughly soaked Mint, she had already anticipated Ramona’s excited and cheerful continuation.

 

Ramona’s explanation was as follows.

 

This ‘Tower’ wasn’t completely without will.

 

However, rather than self-awareness, it was a will solely focused on maintaining the Tower for a long, long time, stably, and preserving even greater power.

 

The Tower missed the era when Mint was the boss. The Tower wanted Mint.

 

“How much the Tower adored the Boss!”

 

Mint had forbidden pointless fights between prisoners. Being one of the most powerful kings, her commands carried strong restraining force.

 

She could handle all abilities, so there were no weaknesses to speak of.

 

For this reason, during Mint’s time as Boss, fights only occurred in the Tower.

 

The only thing that tormented the prisoners was the Tower itself.

 

The Tower was an existence that fed on despair, screams, resignation, anger, filth… the will, thoughts, and Kia that emerged from humanity’s negative emotions.

 

Mint was exactly the perfect and ideal Master of the 100th Floor that the Tower desired!

 

‘Shit. What is it saying. I never wanted that.’

 

Of course, it was an honor Mint had never wanted at all.

 

After Mint disappeared, debauchery and crime outside the Tower increased rapidly, and the negative Kia accumulating inside the Tower decreased.

 

The Tower approached Ramona. And it stood by as she abnormally brought down the Boss.

 

No, it would be fair to say it permitted it.

 

“The Boss wouldn’t know how thrilling it felt to step on the Boss’s head in the Tower!”

 

Listening to the entire story, Mint was dumbfounded.

 

Right, this is a place that confines these crazy prisoners. If the Tower has any ego or will, there’s no way it would be normal.

 

The feeling of ‘why me of all people’ quickly disappeared.

 

Mint explored solutions as always.

 

The fight ended easily. Since Ramona had already fallen, there wasn’t much to end.

 

As she stepped on Ramona’s back, gray cloud-like Kia slowly gathered and enveloped Ramona.

 

Ramona laughed while being trampled underfoot.

 

“Welcome back, Boss. And… I’m the one who took out one of Deril’s eyes.”

 

“How casually you say that.”

 

“Well, it was fun~. Oh right.”

 

Ramona leisurely raised her finger. It was the finger curse that Mint had taught her back when they used to share a room.

 

“Congratulations on passing the 90th Floor.”

 

With those words, Ramona disappeared.

 

The empty 90th Floor, and not long after, Helios appeared in this space.

 

Actually, Mint didn’t care whether Ramona became the Boss or whatever reason the Tower coveted her.

 

As long as she could achieve her goal, nothing else mattered. What could be important?

 

However, when she faced Helios, who had a strange expression that didn’t match any expression she had seen before.

 

She had another thought.

 

If only you were here…

 

Mint slowly closed her eyes.

 

No, that won’t do.

 

Leisurely words flowed from her mouth.

 

“Welcome, Helios.”

 

Chapter 11. If I tell you not to go, won’t you go?

 

“Is the next really the 91st Floor?”

 

We had passed the 90th Floor.

 

Unlike other floors, there was no Guard’s voice announcing the start or the end.

 

When we came out accompanied by Helios, who was perfectly fine despite being drenched in poison.

 

A Guard quietly approached and informed us of our passage.

 

‘Originally, when the Boss appears on a specific floor, restarting that trial is the principle.’

 

The Tower’s rules had become a mess and were distorted. And the Tower was either ignoring or overlooking this.

 

Was it called the Tower’s will?

 

There really wasn’t a place that wasn’t sticky, even the space itself.

 

That was yesterday’s matter, and the next day.

 

Today was the day to enter the 91st Floor.

 

‘Actually, I thought he would ask at least once about how this happened.’

 

Helios didn’t ask in detail about what happened on the 90th Floor, which was completely different in form and content from the trial on the 89th Floor.

 

It was different from his usual prickly face asking stubbornly about everything.

 

Maybe he was nervous.

 

Only nine floors remained until the goal.

 

‘Actually, it’s even fewer.’

 

When I didn’t engage with them, Ged’s Group flocked to Helios to talk.

 

Helios answered each one despite hanging annoyance on his prickly face.

 

They now looked like complete colleagues.

 

How truly ideal.

 

While I was watching Helios and Ged’s Group, someone approached me.

 

— It’s been a while.

 

A voice echoed in my head. When I turned my head, I saw a small Sewer Rat.

 

It was looking at me with its front paws raised.

 

I chuckled.

 

“Hello.”

 

I slowly spread Kia so that Helios couldn’t hear.

 

“You look shabby.”
