44F - The Last Station: Kallavan (1): This is the three hundred twenty-seventh chapter of Volume 2 of Tower of God.
Synopsis[]
After Ha Jinsung challenges Kallavan without getting a response, Jinsung brings out his backup plan. Jinsung calls forth Byuwen, an anti-threat cyborg, holding the Shinsu canon of El Robina in order to threaten Kallavan. The third division commander Nyono Wan senses the power of the canon, but urges Kallavan to not let Jinsung scare him. However, Kallavan decides to meet Jinsung's challenge. Kallavan initiates a cordial conversation with Jinsung and it is revealed that they know each other from before. Jinsung jumps to the point and is adamant that Kallavan can't go to the Last Station or Jinsung will fight him, a challenge Kallavan accepts.
In a flashback we are shown how Kallavan and Jinsung met about 3000 years ago. Jinsung is impressed by Kallavan's skills, but is confused why such a talented ranker is protecting the Essence of Bravery. Jinsung then inspires Kallavan to absorb the Essence of Bravery, which made Kallavan a lot more powerful and removed his reason to stay in Miabuchan Village. Kallavan went on to fight every great warrior he met and took everyone he liked as a servant, granting him the nickname of "The Human Hunter."
Jinsung questions why Kallavan joined Zahard's Army when he knew that Jinsung was part of FUG, which Kallavan responds that even if they fought he is certain that he would win.
In the midst of Evankhell's rampage, the floor ruler Khun Royale Elliot demands her to stop or he will kill her. Not one to ignore a challenge, Evankhell starts to fight Royale Elliot, with wide-range attacks coming from both Evankhell and Royale Elliot.
In the chaos of the fight between the floor rulers, Ha Yuri Zahard decides to save the hostages from the large scale attacks, putting them closer to Twenty-Fifth Baam. Ha Cheonhee instantly notices and accuses Yuri of aiding the regulars, which Yuri responds that Cheonhee is supposed to keep the hostages alive and that she should not have problem against some random regulars. However, before Baam reaches the hostages, Charlie arrives to block the path.

For this week's afterwords, as I said in the Author's Words, I drew [sic] bunzi jumping.
I haven't actually watched the movie "Bungee Jumping of Their Own"(...)
But... since it's a famous movie title and it fit the situation, I used it ^^:
This chapter, we saw a lot of new fight scenes start here and there.
The battle between Kalavan and Ha Jin-sung started..
Evankhell's fight continues,
And now Baam's entered a battle against the odds it seems.
As the scale of the battles get bigger they may seem fractured; I want to make sure you guys enjoy it even if it makes the chapters longer, but it's not an easy problem. But I will work harder to make sure you can savor the fun of each side of the grand battle.
In the Kalavan vs Ha Jin-sung front we see a bit of a backstory. We'll see a bit more of Kalavan's past. He's a scary character for multiple reasons..
He too is based on physical strength, and just from how he looks you can tell he will have a more "explosive" feel to him.
On the Evankhell front and the appearance of the floor ruler, which is something that was obviously going to happen from a lore perspective, but since a floor ruler is an outsider to the battle, yet a force powerful enough to compare to Evankhell, so I wasn't sure when they would intervene. Actually, if you're someone as high up as a floor ruler you end up not wanting to do stuff like fighting(...) Evankhell's being the weird one, but that's because Evankhell hasn't been a FR for long, hehe.
On Baam's front we have big trouble.
Even though we've been having a overflow of Rankers in Tower of God these days, but haha.
Still, from the eyes of Regulars like Baam, Rankers can seem like absolute beings. Of course, Baam isn't a Regular, and had an explosive growth in the Hidden Floor, but how well he'll fight against a Ranker, we'll see.
These days I suffer from the stomach inflammation I thought I was done with qq. This stuff catches you off guard, coming back when stressed or not caring for it. It's a disease of the heart I say, hehe. I guess I gotta go on a diet of cabbages three times a day or something (..)
So these days I worked out whenever I had time, went to a concert(for a girl group, no less), and did other such activities. Cultural participation is the true medicine, it seems.
So everyone, let's win out the Monday-itis with Tower of God. You guys and me! Win-win.
Well then, I'll be back next week with Baam awaiting a fight with a Ranker. Please look forward to the battle, and have a happy, warm, and healthy week.
Well, see you all next week!
Thank you ^^
