Defender. Second Belt

At the foot of the Sword Mountain, the hero tries to survive and tests both his and others’ path to Heaven.

He reported everything to the head of the Academy—why and by whom he was sent here. Well done. Make the Order of the Heavenly Sword stronger? Excellent—only first you must not let it be destroyed. The strike of an unknown enemy was powerful, and the madness of the Academy’s best student only heaped new troubles onto the Order. Now the Order, like never before, needs the strong ones. And you know where you can get that strength. It’s a small matter— you need to lead the injured students through the floors of the City of a Thousand Floors, cure them at the Pavilion of Health, and send them back—do what for several decades no one has managed to do. But if anyone has experience in returning from the City of the Ancient Ones, then it’s only you. Still, do you realize what awaits you at the end of this path?
