The main story involving Shion, The Broken Crown, might seem complicated when broken into details, but it’s straightforward when viewed as a whole.

It revolves around individuals who lack the ability to directly harm the Tiger Emperor.

These people, with their sinister motives, target his unripe bloodline.

The protagonist's role and purpose in Abyss City are just as simple:

To play a defense game, ensuring such individuals don’t approach or expose Noah Frozenheart.

Failure doesn’t result in catastrophe for Noah but leads to a grim ending where all the elves who fled Tigrova are wiped out.

‘I’ll finish this today.’

Knowing this, Rohan solidified his resolve.

From now on, failure was not an option.

“I’ll go first.”

As Rohan, holding his longsword, jumped at the perfect moment, Clara, sitting atop the tunnel, moved her fingers.

She followed his instructions, executing their plan perfectly. Satisfaction and an inexplicable heat filled her mind.

“Arachne.”

Just ahead of Rohan’s landing spot, a slack thread spread across the road suddenly tightened.

A single black strand, barely visible, stretched horizontally across the tunnel entrance.

The oncoming vehicles resembled insects diving into a spider’s web.

With Clara’s precise focus of mana, the thread sharpened to a deadly edge, like a master-crafted blade.

Piiiiing! Tididiiing!

The lead vehicle passed through Clara’s thread without a sound.@@novelbin@@

The car’s body was sliced so finely that the cuts were imperceptible—until Rohan landed atop it with his sword drawn.

Boom!

The impact, infused with mana, shattered the windshield, and Clara’s trap began to take full effect.

The vehicle, starting to show signs of its clean cuts, wobbled unsteadily.

Rohan didn’t hesitate, plunging his longsword into the driver’s seat and slicing through to the passenger’s side.

‘They’re dead.’
