Audi's eyes widened in shock. "So I'm just level 10?! Give me the Sed Cursed Tablet!"

  Hel smirked but didn't move. "Even if I gave it to you, it wouldn't be enough. Not against the true strength of the Guardians of the Ten Pgues."

  Audi clicked his tongue in frustration. "The what now?"

  Hel's expression darkened. "They were ohe Ten Legendary Heroes who defehe ive Floor. But the corruption of the Tower twisted them into something else. Now, they serve as its enforcers, ensuring the Zombie King remains sealed."

  She gestured toward the flickering fmes around them. "Each of them rules over a specific floor, ag as the guardian of their domain. They are known by the curses they embody."

  The Ten Pgues of the ive Floor:

  80th Floor – Blood – The waters turn to blood, ruled by the Blood Pgue Guardian.

  70th Floor – Croakers – A relentless invasion s, ruled by the Crue Guardian.

  60th Floor – Vermin – A catastrophic outbreak of lice, ruled by the Vermin Pgue Guardian.

  50th Floor – Swarmers – A devastating iion of flies, ruled by the Swarmers Pgue Guardian.

  40th Floor – Decay – Livestock disease, spreadih among all creatures, ruled by the Decay Pgue Guardian.

  Guardian of 30th to 1st Floor

  Sores – Painful boils that afflict all living beings, ruled by the Sores Pgue

  Wrath – A storm of fire and hail, ruled by the gue Guardian

  Devourers – A swarm of locusts that e everything, ruled by the Devue Guardian. (Holds the Third Cursed Tablet)

  Gloom – Three days of darkhat drive all into madness, ruled by the Gloom Pgue Guardian.

  Requiem – The death of the firstborn, ruled by the Requiem Pgue Guardian. (Holds the Fourth Cursed Tablet)

  Audi ched his fists. "So not only are they incredibly strong, but four of them also hold the Cursed Tablets? If I want all seven, I'll have to face them."

  Hel nodded. "Yes. And be aware… the Ten Pgues don't fight alone. Eaands a legion, armies built to withstand the horrors of the ive Floor."

  Audi hesitated. "Then what about Floors 30 to 1? Who rules those?"

  Hel smirked. "The top five Pgue Guardians rotate between those floors. They act as ae vanguard, stantly moving and ensuring that no one reaches the lowest depths of the ive Tower, where the Zombie King is sealed. If you challehe ive Floor, you will enter them."

  A chill ran down Audi's spine. Even if he could evade one or two, there was no esg all of them.

  His eyes flicked back to Hel. "Then I hat Sed Cursed Tablet now."

  Hel shook her head. "Not yet. First, you o prove that you has power. You must defeat me."

  Audi blinked. "What."

  Hel smirked. "If you 't even take me on, you'll die the sed you face a Pgue Guardian." She tightened her grip on her on. "So before you go chasing after Cursed Tablets… fight me."

  Audi groaned. "But I'm hungry!"

  Hel sighed. "The fast—because the battle starts now."

  Audi paused, then frowned. "Wait… If the Guardians are s, how have you mao hold onto the Sed Cursed Tablet for so long?"

  Hel smirked. "They did e after me. But I mao escape because of my skill—GraveDigger."

  Audi raised an eyebrow. "GraveDigger?"

  Hel nodded. "It allows me to dig through different floors that I've quered. If a battle gets too dangerous, I burrow into a safer zone before they overwhelm me. Right now, I hide anywhere between Floors 81 to 100."

  Audi's eyes widened. "That's awesome."

  Hel's smirk faded. "Not for long. The Guardians don't give up easily. They'll keep hunting me down, aually, they will find me." She met his gaze. "That's why we o train you—fast. Because when they e for us again… we fight."

  Audi exhaled, steeling himself. He still wasn't sure if he was ready. But ohing was certain—he had no choice but to bee ready.

  Then, a sudden thought struck him. "Wait… I have the First Cursed Tablet, don't I?"

  Hel nodded. "Yes. But that tablet only unlocked your skill. Almost everyone who ehe ive Floor has that Cursed Tablet."

  Audi tilted his head. "Skill? So… [Skill Acquired: Regains]?"

  Hel grinned. "Exactly. Just like how it unlocked my GraveDigger skill."

  Audi's eyes narrowed. "Then what about you? What's your power level?"

  Hel smirked. "I'm also level 80… normally."

  Audi's body tensed. "Normally?"

  Hel's smirk widened. "With the power of the Sed Cursed Tablet… my strength reaches level 100."

  Audi took a step back. "Wait, hold on. You're saying you're already as strong as I could be, even with the tablet?"

  Hel raised her on. "That's right. So if you want this power… e and take it."**

  Audi ched his fists. "Then where are the remaining three Cursed Tablets?"

  Hel's smirk disappeared. "I don't know… but before the Grave Floor was created, some said they saw the Tablets on the Greatness Floor."

  Audi's eyes narrowed. "The Greatness Floor? I thought the Cursed Tablets were here because of the Zombie King. And what happens if I plete all seven Cursed Tablets?"

  Hel's expression shifted. "How do you know that?"

  Audi lifted his hand, gripping the First Cursed Tablet. "It's written here."

  Hel's eyes widened. "Wait… what?! How you read that?!"

  Audi smirked. "Because of my skill—Regain. I remember my past life before I became a zombie… I was reading a manuscript."

  Hel's breath hitched. "That's impossible…"

  [First Cursed Tablet: The Zombie King's Last Stand & The ive Floors]

  "Foreseeing the destru to e, the Zombie King used the st of his strength te the ive Floors, imprisoning the most dangerous fallen angels and titans—the adventurers onown as the Ten Legendary Heroes. Yet, his power has wao a mere 0.5%, and the abyss teeters on the brink of chaos…"

  The imprisoned beings grow stronger, feeding on his deg magic. The seals weaken, sending ripples of instability through the Tower. The Queen senses a familiar presence—Audi's aura has awakened, and she decres war on the Heaven Floor.
