An incident broke out on Adams 21st branch.

Theyre fighting!

Whos fighting?

Kim YuWon! The guest that got here yesterday!

The human?

Yeah, so who is Kim YuWon fighting?

Everyone!

A large group of adult Giants passed by.

Buar, who had overslept, looked around in confusion at the commotion.

Whats going on? A fight? Buar asked with interest.

He didnt know what was going on, but he decided he needed to act quickly. He was a guy that sought out fights, even if meant jumping into a fire.

Big brother.

But there was someone that always tried to stop him.

Youre not thinking of joining in, are you? Nwiar asked.

H-Huh? O-Of course not

Nwiar let out a sigh, watching her older brother laugh awkwardly. She couldnt believe that he would mindlessly rush into a fight.

Hes the Elders guest. Why are you trying to fight him? Nwiar asked.

No, I was, uh, going to stop them. He might be able to handle one or two, but look how many people are flocking to him. Its dangerous.

Buar pulled the excuse out of his ass, but he wasnt wrong. Nwiar was able to count at least ten Giants running towards the commotion.

Youre not wrong, Nwiar said in defeat.

See? Now lets go. Hurry up.

Buar pressured Nwiar to move faster, running through the trunk of the tree and up twenty branches.

Bam!

He heard a loud noise in the distance.

As someone who had spent his entire life fighting daily, Buar recognized this sound. It was the sound of fists colliding with each other.

Wow! Buar gasped while finding the group of Giants gathered on one of the branches of Adam.

They were all young Giants like him.

What a nice sight. Now this is youth, he remarked.

They were gathered in a circle, creating a stage of sorts.

Buar broke through the group and made his way through.

Once the other young Giants noticed Buar, they moved aside for him.

As he made his way in

Kgh Ugh

Buar found a Giant laying on the floor cradling his fist and YuWon standing in front of the Giant moaning in pain.

So thats it for Tulkar.

Ill go next!

As one Giant fell, another opponent stepped up to the plate.

Stomp, stomp

It was one of the bigger Giants that were gathered there.

His name was Vulkan, and he was about ten years older than Buar.

Its Vulkan.

Oh. Finally

This fight should be more fun to watch.

But is he actually a human?

There were about a hundred Giants gathered around YuWon.

They were all young Giants like Buar, and they were multiple times bigger than YuWon.

But the main character that had set this stage was YuWon. More than a dozen Giants had already lost to him.

YuWon let out a sigh while looking at the Giant named Vulkan who had stepped forward. Could you guys just gang up on me instead of coming one at a time?

What? Vulkan, who held a giant hammer, said with a red face, Are you underestimating me?

Its not that, but YuWon said while scratching his head. Actually, youre right.

YuWon grabbed Vulkans shoulder.

Huh?

Vulkan was confused. He wondered what YuWon, a guy much skinnier and shorter than him, was trying to do by reaching his hand up and grabbing his shoulder

Whoosh

Thud

But in an instant, Vulkan was brought to his knees.

His eyes widened in shock from having suddenly lost his balance.

Huh?

And it didnt end at him being brought to his knees.

Push

Wobble

As YuWon pressed down on his shoulder, Vulkans upper body was smashed to the ground.

He couldnt move an inch. There was far too great of a difference in strength.

[Your arm has been imbued with the power of a Giant.]

[Partial Gigantification will occur.]

Power was overflowing in YuWons arm.

Vulkan tried his best to push away YuWons hand, but he failed.

After bringing Vulkan down in a flash with pure strength, YuWon looked around.

A hundred Giants had gathered before he realized it.

Still no change of heart? YuWon asked.

He was taunting them, telling them to stop trickling in because he was more than strong enough.

I knew it, Buar said.

He felt electrified. YuWon was strong, as he expected. In fact, he seemed stronger than his original estimation.

Buars blood boiled intensly.

As he was about to step up, Nwiar joined him.

You want to go as well? he asked his little sister.

This is what he wants. Might as well consider it as a bit of unique guest treatment.

YuWon watched the siblings, having spotted them.

Buar and Nwiar locked eyes.

Besides, he warned us not to come at him one at a time, Nwiar continued.

He did indeed.

Buar and Nwiar stepped into the circle.

The Giants started to whisper.

Its Buar and his little sister.

Hot damn

Were going to get to watch the descendents of the Giant Gods fight?

The Giant Gods. They were the leaders of the Giants, and each of them possessed the strength of a High Ranker.

Only a few of them were still alive, and it appeared that Buar and Nwiar were descendants of one of those gods.

So theyre more important than I originally thought, YuWon thought.

That explained why he thought most of the other Giants here seemed weaker in comparison to the sibling duo.

Kwants hand strength, for example, was not even close to Buars.

But Ive never heard of either of them.

Buar and Nwiar were names he was not familiar with.

There was also that red-haired player, Horang. There were quite a few skilled people he had never heard of on this floor.

YuWon grinned a little. It seemed that they might be a bit helpful, unlike the others.

My bodys been itching since yesterday, Buar said while his body expanded. Now lets see how amazing your skills really are.

You can see as much as you want, YuWon bantered.

Fwoosh

YuWons eyes became flaming red.

[Cinder Eyes reads the path.]

If you can last that is, he taunted.

* * *

Through the use of [Cinder Eyes,] he could clearly see the muscle movements of Buar and Nwiar. He could see how their bodies were moving and where they were headed.

YuWons mind started to work faster using said visual information, and his senses started to twitch.

[Activating Sensory Field.]

Fwoosh!

YuWons ability to perceive everything expanded, and the space around him felt like it was all in the palm of his hand.

Thinking that YuWon had finished preparing, Buar made the first move.

Boom!

Shortening the long distance between them, Buars fist created a sonic boom as it just grazed over the top of YuWons head.

YuWon tried to get up close to Buar, but his move was greeted by Buars knee flying at his chin.

The knee strike was stopped by YuWons non-dominant hand.

Bang!

Wince

YuWon felt numbing pain in the hand he blocked the attack with.

He decided to give up on getting up close and personal as he noticed Nwiars punch coming from behind him.

Ill strike back, YuWon decided.

Fwoop

Klang!

Nwiars fist and YuWons sword clashed.

Nwiars fist was unscathed. In fact, YuWons sword was the one that got pushed back.

Her strengths no joke, YuWon thought, his eyes wavering.

They were much stronger than expected, meaning that it wasnt going to be possible for YuWon to take the sibling duo with no mana and only physical strength.

YuWon heard Buars voice behind him.

Do you know why I cant talk back to my little sister?

Clench

Buar tightened his fist, getting into position to swing as hard as he could.

Its because shes stronger than me, Buar explained.

Whoosh!

YuWon was cornered front and back with nowhere to escape.

Buar became sure of their victory, thinking, Its over.

Klang!

He felt a satisfying thud under his punch, but he quickly came to a realization.

Huh?

Huh?

Buar and Nwiar locked eyes with each other in confusion.

YuWon had disappeared.

Bump

A noise came from above them.

What the?

Whats up there?

YuWon had jumped up into the sky by leaping off air.

This wasnt just him jumping high.

Bump

His feet were pushing off of thin air. It was like there was something invisible under his feet.

[Hermess Treads]

Shoes that Hermes lost long ago. They are imbued with his powers.

+50% jumping ability.

Able to double-jump midair.

Able to use Skill Sky Step once a day.

This was the item YuWon bought using the CP he had earned on the 11th Floor.

If he couldnt go forwards or backwards, then going up was the natural answer.

He jumped higher than our height at such a fast speed? Nwiar was taken aback.

Swish!

YuWon swung his sword down, adding to it the power of gravity.

Slit

Splatter

A long cut was inflicted on Nwiars arm.

Buar became enraged at the sight of blood spurting out of his sisters arm.

How dare you! He shouted.

Whoosh

Buars punch once again split the air.

His punch missed again, but Buar wasnt alone.

Now! Corner him! Buar instructed.

Got it!

Fwoosh!

Disregarding the wound on her arm, Nwiar moved in harmony with her brother.

Fwoop, crash!

Whoosh

Buar glared at YuWon, who was dodging all his punches like a slippery eel. Even with the duo fighting together, they couldnt land a single hit.

This is tricky, Buar thought.

YuWon wasnt just fast. Not only could he duck or slide to either side, but he could jump up to dodge their attacks.

Buar didnt know what kind of skill it was, but it was clear that YuWon could jump again in midair.

At first it might not have seemed that impressive of a skill, but facing it was incredibly tricky.

Normally, one would have no additional escape route if they jumped up, but this guy could double-jump and change directions. He essentially has another layer of movement, Buar analyzed.

With additional possible directions for evasion, attacking YuWon was a dizzying task.

And more than that

I dont think well ever be able to catch him, Buar thought.

Despite the two trying to corner him, YuWon wasnt even attacking them back. He simply dodged all attacks.

At first they thought it might have been because he had no room to attack, but that wasnt the case.

Im only punching dead air. Buar felt defeated.

No matter how much he swung his fists, he swung at nothing, and he didnt think his punches would reach YuWon anytime soon.

YuWon watched Buar and Nwiar with eyes that made him seem like he knew everything.

Buar grit his teeth, You think I cant catch you?!

Vwoom, vwooooom

Mana gathered around Buars fist. The condensed mana vibrated as if it was ready to explode any second.

Big brother! Nwiar shouted in surprise, seeing her brother enraged.

Buars flow of mana wasnt normal.

Vzzt

It was to the point that Buars body started showing signs of penalty, demonstrating how much power Buar was exerting.

Unfortunately, it was too late to stop him.

Eat this! Buar shouted while swinging his fist.

It didnt matter to him if YuWon could or couldnt dodge this because this attack was about to wipe out everything in front of him.

YuWon watched the fist flying at him.

The punch moved ever so slowly, and he could clearly see the flow of mana contained within.

This attack YuWon decided that instead of dodging, he had to strike it away.
