Since you’ve got no limbs left to cut off, should I start with your head?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo shoved the Bastard roughly toward him, but Venura didn’t even flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-We didn’t form the Council to trade catalogs. How could I know that? You wouldn’t know until you fought one yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? The Twelve Sword Council members never fought each other? Don’t you at least establish some ranking?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Sometimes there’s a bit of a ‘quarrel,’ but official duels aren’t common.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So they do happen sometimes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-We’re not exactly the roundest personalities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Venura said this as he lay back on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now a one-armed, one-legged man, it was awkward to even stay upright—so he just laid down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo stared at the man for a moment, then tossed back the severed leg he’d cut off earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Put that leg back on. You’ll need to move if we’re gonna find the next escape point.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yeongwoo said that, Venura lifted his head slightly from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Put my leg back on?

You’re taking my catalog and my sword? That’s too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why? Isn’t saving the guy who almost died payment enough? Besides, that sword was part of your catalog.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Yeongwoo registered the curved sword in his own catalog, Venura’s body trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-…Ugh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his eyes began to gleam with strange light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piiiaaat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Alden Miras before him, his Prestige Level was rising—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reward for crossing blades with a Planetary Ship Owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here we go again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Venura savored the thrilling surge of power, Yeongwoo gathered the scattered limbs on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Now I’ve got exactly one full set left.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He currently had two arms and two legs in reserve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant even if one more participant was still somewhere in this dungeon, he could help everyone escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, time to move. Can you stand?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo looked at the barrier slowly closing in, Venura—still with eyes glowing strangely—muttered in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Wh-what… is this?

You were probably in your high 30s, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alden’s Prestige had risen by 4.2 after his duel with Yeongwoo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before that, he’d been level 34.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that means even the strongest among the Twelve Sword Council are only in their early 40s.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah. If even someone in their high 30s gets in, the average can’t be that high.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yeongwoo casually dismissed the Twelve Sword Council, Venura ground his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Reckless words. The only reason I bear that title is because of my family’s influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you’re a nepotism case—the weakest of the twelve, huh? You sure do talk a lot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-You… You’d never even—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to say, You’d never even set foot near the Council, but stopped short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that Prestige increase, he had glimpsed Yeongwoo’s inner strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As unbelievable as it was, if the man really was a Planetary Ship Owner, that alone was an extraordinary background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purely in terms of power, he was comparable to those monstrous Council elites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even his insolent arrogance reminded Venura eerily of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know it too, right? You’ll never upgrade your catalog. The weakest member doesn’t get to borrow anyone else’s.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Translator - Night]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Proofreader - Gun]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So when you get out of here alive, tell your friends this—the man, Jeong Yeongwoo of the Renaissance, is looking for challengers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Venura gave a short, incredulous laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-So the marvels of the universe drove you insane after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re the one who looks deranged, idiot. Now hand over all your weapons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Yeongwoo activated his weapon catalog and stepped closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t take it too personally. It’s better than dying, right? You can come for revenge later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shhh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo raised the Bastard to confirm catalog transfer, Venura scowled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Filthy day indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wasn’t born noble—every day’s filthy to me.
