Chapter 84

Helios’s eyes, which had been about to lose focus, returned to normal.

At the same time, Mint’s words telling him not to intervene felt puzzling.

Meanwhile, Ged, who had been watching, gaped his mouth open.

‘Has that bastard gone insane?’

That crazy bastard dared to grab Boss’s hair!

Surprisingly, Mint didn’t resist while being grabbed and obediently got up from his spot to be dragged away.

When he was dragged to the altar, Joseph threw Mint down as he was.

‘Weak bastard! How dare you ignore me?’

He was a prisoner with anger management issues who had ruined his life with violence and fallen to this abyss.

Joseph’s colleagues snickered.

“Hey, that bastard Joseph. His old habits are showing.”

“Leave him be. Leave him be. It’s about time anyway.”

“That bastard. Taking it out on someone weak like this.”

One of his colleagues didn’t stop at just laughing and knelt down on one knee in front of Mint, roughly extending his hand.

“What’s this, this guy’s pretty. Looks weak as hell, doesn’t he?”

His name was ‘Marco’. He was the strongest man among the team members who had taken over this floor.

“Oh my, did you catch Boss’s eye? Your life’s screwed. Hehe.”

“Shut up. You’re being noisy.”

That’s why he must have carelessly let his guard down and extended his hand without thinking.

‘Huh…?’

Thud!

When he came to his senses, Marco was lying on the ground.

‘My neck…’

His neck wouldn’t move. He could see his own twisted arm. He slowly lowered his eyes.

“Boss!”

“Damn it, everyone fall back!”

“This bastard!”

The miserable state was so shocking that his back trembled.

‘How could such an attack happen so instantaneously?’

Under the oppressive aura pressing down on him, Marco recalled a fear he had forgotten.

An emotion he would never feel except when looking at the ‘bosses’ of the same Fam.

His eyes turned upward.

He faced a man looking down at him expressionlessly, shrouded in shadow.

Thump thump.

His heart beat rapidly.

“You must be curious about how to pass this section.”

Mint looked down at the man and spoke slowly.

“First, pass the tests given by the floor’s rulers and receive their approval.”

Marco’s neck quickly returned to its original position.

Among those with Musculoskeletal Kia, he possessed considerable talent and ability, and his ‘regeneration ability’ was superior to other ability users of the same level.

“You, damn…!”

“Second.”

Mint stepped lightly like a boxer. Her feet slid backward as if gliding.

Mint created distance while raising her index finger and pointing at the sky.

The finger that had pointed toward the ceiling came down, drawing a large semicircle.

Crackle!

Lightning struck down from the dry ceiling, the same technique she had used in the Mental Kia Space.

Boom!

“Defeat the floor’s ruler.”

Where the bright blue lightning had faded, Marco lay collapsed, covered in soot.

Only his labored breathing seemed to indicate that he had barely managed to preserve his life.

“Hi, hiiiik!”

Someone couldn’t hold back and let out a gasp at the sight of Marco writhing.

Marco, with his massive build, had been a tyrant who had ruled this 41st Floor for a long time.

The prisoners who witnessed the defeat of this cult leader-like figure were shocked.

Because it happened to be lightning, some thought it looked like he had received divine punishment.

“Then you can choose. Either become the new ruler of this floor or move on to the next floor.”

Usually, people try to become the floor’s ruler and reign. Because power is sweet.

It’s also the nature of vicious criminals and selfish prisoners.

“Demonstration over.”

While Mint was muttering casually, bang! A sound that echoed through this space was heard again.

“…Truly magnificent education.”

It was Helios.

The moment Mint moved, Helios had already been moving as well.

He was standing on the back of the former ruler of this place, holding a blue-tinged axe in one hand.

Though Helios wouldn’t have known, the man was the second strongest.

‘Since when has he been using an axe.’

No wonder he had been using various weapons when sparring against Ged and Brett simultaneously.

“To the point of demonstrating it personally.”

Had he become familiar enough to use it in actual combat?

While Mint was admiring this, Helios was grinding his teeth.

Looking at Marco lying there, even though he had been struck by lightning, it didn’t seem like it would be satisfying enough even if he ground him up and drank him.

Then he rolled his eyes, looking for Joseph who had dared to grab his master’s hair.

…Hair that he himself treasured too much to touch.

Coincidentally, the ruling team that had occupied the 41st Floor consisted of five members.

Helios and Mint’s party were also five.

After the strongest and second strongest colleagues had already fallen, the remaining rulers had long since scattered in panic.

“Tsk tsk. That’s what happens when you don’t live a good life.”

“Haha, isn’t it funny to tell a prisoner to live a good life?”

Blocking the path of the two fleeing men were Ged and Brett.

‘That bastard. That’s the guy I knelt before earlier!’

One of the men regained his composure upon seeing Ged, who looked the most manageable.

Since everything was ruined anyway, he thought he’d at least take out his frustration on that guy.

His colleague seemed to think the same, igniting fire in his hands.

‘Hmm, is it okay for this to be so easy?’

The guy with the ability to prevent Kia usage was already collapsed at Helios’s feet.

Thanks to that, Ged was able to take down his enemy in an instant.

In their pathetic state sprawled on the ground, there was no trace of their earlier showing off and bragging.

Brett was the same.

At Brett’s feet lay someone tightly bound by shadows.

“Did Seth take care of one?”

“No, Boss disposed of him. Haha.”

Brett’s laughter grew louder. Ahahaha. Look at Boss. Her eyes have gone wild.

Finally, only one person remained. It was Joseph, the very culprit who had started this whole situation.

“D-don’t move!”

Joseph, who had been hesitantly gauging the situation, quickly moved his body.

Fast movement using telekinesis was his specialty!

‘The Kid and the woman!’

Those in the party who hadn’t shown their skills yet. Joseph chose one side.

“I’ll kill this woman right here!”

Even as he said this, he felt frustrated. Damn it, don’t people come back to life even if they die in this Tower?

What he was counting on was just the rumor that these newcomers had never died while climbing the Tower.

Even so, there’s no way they’d care about a colleague’s death…

‘Huh, it’s working?’

Everyone’s bodies had stopped. Even that monster-like human who had roasted their boss with lightning!

Mint casually waved her hand.

“Haira, aren’t you hungry?”

“…”

Haira, who was being held by the throat, looked at her as if dumbfounded, then let out a sigh.

“You’re the one who always tells me to eat a hearty breakfast every day.”

At that moment, Joseph felt the sensation in his body completely stop.

— Raise your hands.

A voice that deceived his ears.

When he came to his senses, he was already holding a sword to his own throat.

His eyes met with the woman who was looking at him coldly.

“Boss.”

Haira calmly pointed at Joseph. Joseph walked forward step by step against his own will.

‘No, I don’t want to. I don’t want to!’

Toward the man who had defeated his colleague.

His body moved against his will.

“Accept it gratefully.”

It was just as a sword formed in Helios’s hand.

“Accept what? I’m hungry.”

Thud. Helios’s body collapsed unceremoniously. He fell down from just a light tap to the back of his knee.

“What are you doing!”

“That’s right, that’s right.”

Mint carried Helios like a sack of rice and gave Seth a look.

Quick-witted Seth immediately used telekinesis to bring down Joseph’s body.

All the masters who had occupied the 41st Floor were now incapacitated.

[Oh my. What’s this, why did it end so quickly?]

With the declaration from the watching Guard, the trial ended easily.

“Master.”

Helios gritted his teeth while hanging over Mint’s shoulder like laundry.

‘His legs are so long.’

Thinking that if they were any longer they would drag on the ground, Mint didn’t stop walking.

“I would be grateful if you’d let me go back and hit him just once.”

“Don’t be so polite about useless things.”

“…”

To be precise, rather than carrying him on her shoulder, she was using telekinesis to lift him while walking. So Helios could speak without being out of breath.

“…That bastard grabbed Master’s hair, didn’t he.”

Tsk, Mint clicked her tongue quietly and put Helios down for a moment.

While the person who was suddenly put down was still confused, Mint used the Kia in her hand to cut off her own hair with a snap.

And she handed the clump of hair to Helios.
