Synopsis

The protagonist unexpectedly gains a significant swordsmanship upgrade, enabling him to defeat a 'Killer Star' monster, though at the cost of nearly all his mana. This victory, however, comes with a consequence: killing such powerful beings makes the tower climb more difficult as the tower reacts to his actions. The protagonist then faces off against another foe who mocks his belief in strength through teamwork, arguing that connections make one weak, causing him to defend his idea of humanity being about fighting together.
