Episode 112. Prelude (2)
Black Tower 70th Floor.
Seven suns hung in a blackened sky. Below them, a river of no visible end flowed.
And the Guardian Dragon coiled around the black river like a serpent, lifting its head. Light from the seven suns glittered between its scales.
Kraaaaaaaaagh!
The roar sent the river flooding.
A black surge that must have weighed thousands of tons crashed down upon Alexander, yet he did not dodge.
Instead, he thrust his fist forward.
Boom!
The water split directly before him. Alexander walked through the cascading torrent like a waterfall torn apart.
The Guardian Dragon opened its massive jaws toward him.
In any previous attempt, Alexander would have carved into its skull without hesitation.
He had done so dozens of times already.
Each time, one sun fell.
Afterward, the Guardian Dragon revived intact. When the final sun disappeared, the Guardian Dragon seemed as though it would die, yet the Conquest always ended in failure.
Later he had tried bypassing it without killing, but the Guardian Dragon resisted stubbornly. As time passed, the seven suns would sink into the black river.
Then failure.
“Get out of the way, you serpent.”
Alexander shoved the Guardian Dragon’s head aside as it rushed at him, crude and forceful.
Crash!
Its massive frame was driven back, gouging a furrow in the riverbed.
Alexander gritted his teeth.
He had learned through trial that he must not kill it.
And just as Jeong Hyun-soo had instructed, he drew a Green Jewel from his pocket.
A peculiar artifact carved in the shape of a frog.
[Muirakitang—Eye of the First River.]
[Special power manifests on Black Tower 70th Floor.]
The two eyes of the Muirakitang glowed green.
That light swept across the seven suns in sequence.
Then six shadows fell upon the black river.
It was strange enough that suns would cast shadows upon water, but something else was crucial.
The sun hanging highest in the sky.
Only one cast no shadow.
“Damn. So obvious.”
The Guardian Dragon blocked his path again, but Alexander only wore a hollow smile.
A massive tail cleaved through empty air.
Alexander crouched to avoid it, then pushed off the monster’s back and leaped toward the sky.
Thud!
The Guardian Dragon’s back collapsed deeply.
Rebounding from that force, Alexander soared toward the sun without a shadow.
Had it realized its disguise had been seen through?
The sun’s surface writhed.
Golden flames tore open, and thousands of eyes bloomed within them all at once.
Elongated arms burst through the fire, stretching outward in all directions.
[The False Sun Amaru reveals its true form.]
[Amaru absorbs the light of the seven suns.]
The other six suns darkened rapidly.
As it drank in their light, Amaru’s body swelled to monstrous proportions.
A creature so vast it filled the sky turned thousands of palms toward Alexander.
Light condensed in each palm.
Blinding flash!
Thousands of beams of light engulfed Alexander.
The sky turned pure white.
The intense heat evaporated the black river, and the exposed riverbed melted.
From the heart of it came the sound of Alexander’s laughter.
“And I wasted all that time not finding something so simple?”
A colossal form wreathed in flame tore through the beams.
Alexander’s skin glowed red-hot, but that was all.
He simply had not known the Clear Strategy.
It was never a matter of lacking the power to kill.
“This is disgusting.”
Alexander’s fist drove through Amaru’s core.
Crack-boom!
The False Sun’s body swelled from within.
Thousands of eyes burst open at once, and the elongated arms were torn to shreds.
The black nucleus embedded in Amaru’s center revealed itself.
Alexander didn’t hesitate. He seized the nucleus.
“Given the time I’ve lost because of you,”
Crunch!
“Once won’t be enough.”
The black nucleus crumbled in his palm.
Amaru’s body transformed into fragments of light.
As the false sun vanished, the light from the remaining six suns poured into the Black River.
The Guardian Dragon, bathed in that light, lowered its head.
[The False Sun Amaru has been annihilated.]
[The hidden secret in the Funeral of the Seven Suns has been uncovered.]
[Black Tower 70th Floor has been completely cleared.]
It was the moment humanity received news that they had at last broken through a floor that had barred their way.
The Muirakitang that Alexander held scattered into green light.
[The rental conditions have ended.]
[The Muirakitang reverts to its original owner.]
Alexander looked down at his empty hand and let out a quiet laugh.
“One thing’s for certain.”
The Clear Strategy.
The relic.
Jeong Hyun-soo had delivered exactly what he’d promised, and Alexander had gotten the result he wanted.
That was enough.
“That bastard Jeong Hyun-soo is out of his mind.”
* * *
The moment Alexander stepped out of the Black Tower, a blinding flash exploded.
“Hunter Alexander!”
“Look this way, please!”
“How did you discover the Clear Strategy for the 70th floor?”
“Is it true that Hunter Jeong Hyun-soo’s relic played a decisive role, according to the system message?”
Less than ten minutes had passed since the Tower’s announcement spread across the world.
Yet there was barely room to stand in front of the Black Tower, crowded with journalists, government officials, and Hunters.
Alexander swept his gaze across the throng surrounding him with obvious irritation.
“That’s right.”
The barrage of questions stopped abruptly.
“What do you mean?”
“Jeong Hyun-soo told me.”
Alexander folded his arms.
“He told me what had to be destroyed, and I tracked it down using what he lent me.”
“Then you succeeded in the Clear with the help of the Humanity Tower Conquest Alliance?”
“That’s what I’m saying.”
Alexander neither concealed nor deflected.
He didn’t believe that having someone else provide the Clear Strategy diminished his own honor.
Jeong Hyun-soo had found the answer.
Alexander himself had made that answer real.
“I broke it.”
Alexander looked at the hundreds of cameras trained on him.
“But it was that young punk who figured out what needed breaking.”
The journalists’ hands flew faster.
Someone shouted from within the crowd.
“Is the United States joining the Humanity Tower Conquest Alliance?”
Alexander paused, regarding the journalist who had asked.
“We’re in.”
“Pardon?”
“The United States is joining that alliance.”
The faces of the government officials behind him went rigid.
Final discussions between the White House, Congress, and the Awakened One-related ministries hadn’t yet concluded.
There existed only a basic principle: the United States would join if Jeong Hyun-soo helped them clear the 70th Floor.
But Alexander declared it first, before all the world’s cameras.
“Hunter Alexander. The official procedures haven’t yet——”
“Then let’s finish them now.”
“But we need to consult with the Presidential Office.”
“I’ll contact them.”
Alexander answered as if it were nothing.
Then he turned back to the cameras.
“The United States joins the Humanity Tower Conquest Alliance.”
Among the countless flashes, Alexander laid it bare.
“Anyone who’s got a problem with that can come tell me directly.”
The shockwave from Jeong Hyun-soo’s direct declaration was enormous.
―World Rank 1 Alexander achieves the first Complete Clear of Black Tower 70th Floor!
―Alexander: “Jeong Hyun-soo taught me the Clear Strategy.”
―The Living Legend of America acknowledges Garam’s Saint!
―United States begins official procedures to join the Humanity Tower Conquest Alliance.
―How did Garam’s Saint know the secrets of the 70th Floor, a place he hasn’t reached himself?
The world’s media erupted.
HunterNet was no different.
└So Alexander didn’t get weaker. The moment the answer was given, he just cleared it.
└World Rank 1 is World Rank 1, and Jeong Hyun-soo really is insane.
└But if that’s the case, Jeong Hyun-soo really does know every single Clear Strategy. Wait, does that mean his special ability is something like Clear Prediction?
└I don’t know about anything else, but there’s really only one answer. If you want to live, you have to stick with Garam’s Saint.
Nations began to move.
Germany and France announced they would send delegations to the Alliance.
The Canadian government convened an emergency meeting on membership.
Japan activated diplomatic and intelligence channels simultaneously to confirm the membership conditions the United States had accepted.
In China, regional governments in North China, the Yangtze River region, and Sichuan began cautiously contacting the Alliance independently, each watching the others.
The Muirakitang at the center of all this commotion was already waiting for its next master.
Seoul, South Korea.
The top floor of the Seonhwa Group Headquarters.
Han Do-hun stared intently at the Green Jewel resting on the desk.
“Is this the thing?”
“Yes.”
“And if we follow the Clear Strategy exactly as given, the 70th Floor opens?”
Han Do-hun let out a hollow laugh.
Then Jeong Hyun-soo pushed the Muirakitang toward him.
“Next is Seonhwa.”
Han Do-hun didn’t immediately touch the artifact.
“Tell me the conditions first.”
“Exactly as we agreed when joining the Alliance.”
Jeong Hyun-soo folded his fingers one by one.
“Share all progress and results of the Clear with the Alliance.”
“Of course.”
“Don’t hide any newly discovered mechanics or rewards from the 70th Floor.”
“Naturally.”
“Return the Muirakitang the moment the Clear is complete.”
“No problem with that.”
Jeong Hyun-soo’s fingers stopped.
Han Do-hun waited a moment, then asked.
“Is that all?”
“Yes.”
“An artifact used by Alexander, then passed to Seonhwa—that’s too light a price for what you’re offering.”
“Seonhwa has already paid its price.”
Han Do-hun’s eyes shifted subtly.
Seonhwa had betrayed Ilseong.
More precisely, they turned their backs before Ilseong abandoned them.
They exposed what Ilseong had done in Hamgyeongbuk Province to the world, stood with Jeong Hyun-soo while bearing Seon Woo-hui’s wrath.
It turned out to be the right choice in the end, but at the time, it was a gamble with the survival of all of Seonhwa at stake.
“You took on no small amount of risk when you broke from Ilseong.”
“…….”
“I have no intention of demanding loyalty from those who joined us. Not every time.”
Jeong Hyun-soo tapped the Muirakitang on the table lightly.
“If you share the danger, you should share the gains as well.”
Han Do-hun fell silent for a moment.
Ilseong had treated Seonhwa as nothing but subordinates.
Even when they risked their lives working, they were met with suspicion, and forced to prove their own grievances alone.
Jeong Hyun-soo was different.
He remembered the price already paid, and returned profits commensurate with that sacrifice.
“I’ve heard the Commander doesn’t kill.”
Han Do-hun let out a small laugh.
Jeong Hyun-soo’s lips curled upward as well.
“You don’t intend to remain Commander, do you?”
“Of course not.”
Han Do-hun looked at Jeong Hyun-soo, then placed his hand on the Muirakitang.
And before him, Jeong Hyun-soo slid forward a thin folder of documents.
Han Do-hun unfolded the materials right there.
The terrain of the 70th Floor.
The movements of the Guardian Dragon.
The conditions for the Seven Suns to fall and the moment when the False Sun reveals itself.
Every Clear Strategy was organized in just a few pages.
“If we follow this exactly, can we clear the 70th Floor like Alexander did?”
“Yes. I suspect that person didn’t even bother reading past the second page.”
Laughter burst from Han Do-hun’s lips.
“Then he must have taken every single one of the Guardian Dragon’s attacks head-on.”
“Exactly. If you follow it that way, everyone dies—so you should simply follow the strategy, Guild Master.”
And not long after, news of South Korea clearing the 70th Floor rang out across the nation.
Ilseong, which had always led the charge, vanished, and Seonhwa became the herald of a new era—the first to break through a Clear for the first time.
And after that, Garam pulled off the stunning feat of clearing the 71st Floor.
