Synopsis

The chapter focuses on a grueling fight where the protagonist's specialized 'thrust' technique, honed through relentless practice, proves surprisingly potent, nearing hidden skill levels. Despite pushing his limits, he's nearly defeated, but the enemy pauses to discuss the 'Mare's Stone' before the protagonist manages to barely escape death. He then receives a system message granting him new titles and the Ice Dragon Sword and prepares for his final challenge in the tower.
