Synopsis

The chapter focuses on the aftermath of a conflict, with the Sword Saint surprisingly admitting his fault and apologizing to Kim Gong-ja, discarding his pride. Kim Gong-ja, somewhat embarrassed by the Sword Saint's humility, asks to be taught the sword instead of seeking retribution. The chapter concludes with the introduction of a new floor with a choice between two rewards: working for the Goddess, or the Demon King, each with vastly different objectives and potential outcomes, with Kim Gong-ja realizing he can make a rapid ascent by choosing the Demon King's path.
