Baam: "I will go to the next wall and kill the new Fourth Army Commander"... do you really mean it?
Kallavan: Yes. I will cross the wall and kill the Fourth Army Corps Commander to take back my place. Your goal is to cross over to the next wall as well, so I believe we have a common interest; let us work together for a moment.
Karaka: Kallavan, how will I trust you?
Kallavan: Your goal is to save Ha Jinsung, no? Even after I take my seat back, I will hold fire until you retrieve Ha Jinsung. You have my word. If I fought the 4th Army commander for you, it wouldn't be too bad for you, no?
Baam: What do we do?
Karaka: Welll....
Yu Hansung: Let's do it.
Baam: But Mr. Yu Hansung! He is the reason why our master was captured in the first place!
Yu Hansung: It would cost us too much if we fought Kallavan here and then crossed the walls. The best option for us right now is to minimize any damage we can. Our priority is saving Ha Jinsung, right?
Baam: But...
Yu Hansung: Of course, we will have you take the lead in the attack on the next wall. And you will be responsible for taking down all of the new Fourth Corps. We still can't trust you with our rear.
Kallavan: Accepted. We prefer it that way as well. Also. Irregular. Don't worry. This is only a happenstance alignment. I will never again ally with you. Your anger towards me won't dissappear from this, so don't worry. You and I are eternal enemies. We will fight again one day.
: Lady Evankhell, are you really going to take the sniper with you?
Evankhell: Yes. She will help us.
: But the 4th Army Corps alone is worrisome enough.
Evankhell: Don't. I will keep her by my side. (If the sniper is right and there is such a place in the nest, there is no chance of victory for us. But if the others new, everyone would panic. They may even give up the battle entirely... that means it's up to me to destroy it...)
Tower of God 52F - The Second Wall -02
Maschenny: The First Wall has been breached. The Fourth Army Corps has fallen, and all enemy High Rankers survived. This is beyond a doubt the worst possible scenario, Army Commander Lybolic. How will you make up for this mistake?
Lybolic: ... Princess, the goal of me and central command was the complete decimation of the old Fourth Army Corps in the first place, so it can hardly be called a mistake. If this comes to harm us down the line I will take full responsibility for it. The new 4th Corps is on stand by, so please do not worry.
Maschenny: Aye aye, sir. (Always so confident. Did he take some confidence pills or something?)
Yasracia: Heyhey enough of that. What do you mean full responsibility. The net wall is under my command, have you forgotten? I want you to cooperate with me in a little game we've prepared.
Lybollic: ... a game?
Yasracia: Yes. Princess, we've all gathered here, but I believe each of us have their own interests in mind. It won't be easy to defend against them anyway, so I prepared a little game so that each of us can fight a worthy opponent. So please, look forward to the games. It will be fun.
Lybolic:.... yes.... Princess what will you do?
Maschenny: I will head to the central crystal with the branch head, so I will leave the commanding authority to Army Commander Yasracia and I'll take his call. This campaign had two Army Commanders gather on the condition that each wall will be under their own commander's full authority. Do as you want, 5th Army Commander. It only befit your authority.
Yasracia: Thank you, Princess.
Maschenny: Also, Commander Lybolic. I work with you under request of the Lo Po Bia main family and central command, but please refrain from acting out on your own in the future. If that's settled, let's move. If we allow their advance any further, we will shame the name of the RoZA. We have two whole Army Corps ehre, we cannot let them survive for longer. I hope you will end this here.
Lybolic: As you will.
[The Second Wall Front]
Mule Love: I can't keep this up against a High Ranker..!!
Augusgus: (It'll be hard for Love to do his thing alone. Neither can I move from here. I need to protect the thing behind me in the giant needle, the teleporter that will get us all out of here once this battle is over. I have to protect it at all costs.) Still, I want to destroy those pesky-looking walls.
x2: We will do it.
Augusgus: Ahh... You decided to come out?
[Students of Sofia Tan, Wave Controllers of the Seolhyangwon/The Fragrant Snow School/雪香院, Namo & Sola]
Augusgus: I heard you came out despite everyone else looking to avoid it. Be careful here. Even for rankers, this place is very dangerous.
Sola: Don't worry, it is an honor to serve the Slayers. (Smile!)
Namo: What do you mean honor, didn't you want to get noticed by the higher ups so we can get out of the Seolhyangwon and become successful? (You said you were sick of all the other girls at Seolhyangwon...)
Sola: (You wanted to come along too! Something about a game you wanted to buy)
Namo: (You hypocrite)
Sola: Can you not talk about that out loud anyway? We need to at least for right now hold hands together. After all, our shinsoo is amplified when we hold hands.
Sola: Kek! They blocked it! (My first attack!)
Namo: They're not High Rankers for nothing... at this rate, won't we get logged out of life instead logging out of school?
Sola: Can you just shut up for just a bit!! They're coming! Don't let go just because they're scary.
Namo: Says you.
Dowon: My Guide. The battle seems to have started, when can we go out?
Hwaryun: Wait just a bit. The main guns of the enemy have not gone off yet. We need to set up defenses at just the right time. When her Lighthouses are activated, that is our chance.
Fuschille: The enemy has no Lightbearers! Concentrate fire! Main gun! Fire!
[Sofia Tan Lighthouse Manipulation: Hexagonal Crystal]
Fuschille: How could this be? We didn't receive any reports of a Ranker-tier Light Bearer among the enemy in the first Wall.. Did they hide a Lightbearer in the Needle?
Khun: Hwaryun, what's going on? Why didn't you send out the Lightbearer earlier if we had one?!
Hwaryun: I knew that Baam was gong to take care of it. And this was her role from the beginning.
[Before coming into the Nest]
Hwaryun: Lady Sophia, does this mean you're going to help us directly?
Sophia: Yes. I want to see for myself his talent. A lot of my subordinates are against it so I can't bring too many fighters, but if that's fine count me in.
Hwaryun: You are always welcome, milady. Actually, there is a role I've been meaning to give you since the beginning. Help us escape from the battlefield safely. After we save Ha Jinsung from the Nest, we will use a warp device we're bringing to escape. You are a Lightbearer, so I hope that you can defend the warp device until the end.
Sophia: ... Understood. It sounds like you knew I was going to help along. How befitting a Guide. But with a Guide planning the getaway first, it seems this campaign won't be easy, will it?
Hwaryun: You're right. But we will still do our best.
[End flashback]
Hwaryun: If we lost Lady Sofia's lighthouses when that flagship exploded, everything was going to go up in smoke. So it's good that Baam took care of that for us. For a moment, it made me feel proud to actually Guide.
Khun: You... you have a heart of iron.
Hwaryun: Now! Go take the lead!
Haratcha: So you must be that famous Slayer Candidate! It's a pleasure to meet you. We are the Felines. Well, not all of us, but don't worry about that.
: I don't see Lybolic.
Haratcha: Wait, this isn't a part of the plan...
Kallavan: Where is he hiding?
Haratcha: Former Corps Commander Kallavan! Why are you standing with the enemy!? Wait, you're a fucking company commander now, so I'ma call you what I want. Kallavan, are you betraying the army?!
Haratcha: Keuk! That son of a bitch...!!
Kendrick: How scary.
Kallavan: I don't want to fight anyone else. I just want the title of Corps Commander back. Bring me Lybolic. Or I will destroy the 5th Army Corps.
Haratcha: You fucker!! You really wanna throw rank off to the side and fight me?!
Ha Satcha: Idiot, that's how you die!
: ENOUGH! Do not anger him further!
Yasracia: You cannot face him.
Fuscille: Commander Yasracia!
Yasracia: Oh my, it seems that there's more people here than what I had planned. Well, it's fine. Looks like we are in need of some traffic control.
: Yasracia detected on the other side of the walls!
Baam Yama Kalla: Yasracia!
Yasracia: Now~ Attention all self-proclaimed heroes that have gathered here today. To find the match each of you seek, we're going to play a little game.

Hello everyone, this is SIU. Recently, my health has deteriorated to the point where I must take a hiatus from Tower of God. I am nothing but sorry that I have to take a leave in the middle of an arc. I will do my best during the hiatus to rest well and recover so that I can continue the story.
Thank you always for cheering me on, and I hope to come back healthy and well.
(Due to the circumstances I cannot give an official expected duration for the hiatus, so please hit the notification button to know when I will be back. It's this green button.)
As always, thank you. I apologize deeply.
