Walking down a long, well lit grand hall with his expressions clearly twisted from some sort of negative emotion, one of the Legia's leader, Augustus, mutters to himself as he finally got out of the witch's place, his twisted expression getting even worse as he thinks of how well those other treated the person who was left behind the dust by them.
"It's always he's like this he's like that, the bastard is a trash who couldn't even ascend to the second floor for over a decade, and now that he starts climbing again, they all starts paying attention to him!?" thinking about how easily that person who was left behind by him regains the attention of the others, particularly the witch that he is interested in, Augustus starts gritting his teeth in immense anger, his mind already clouded by the intense emotion making him order his subordinates to do something that might just make him the enemy of the other five Legias.
"What is it that you want us to accomplish, leader?" using a device to contact a certain member of his Legia, Augustus looks at the figure in the holographic screen, this figure's appearance being obscured by the mask on top of their face, with the only thing that can be used to identify them being their voice, which is clearly distorted by some sort of artifact as well.
Hearing the inquiry of this subordinate of his, Augustus sent all the images that were taken of the young man the six of them were previously talking about, before bringing down an order to the man dutifully listening to him on the other side of the line.
"Search for this person and make sure that he won't ascend any higher than the second floor, but be sure that you won't kill him in broad daylight, that person is being watched by a lot of power…" Augustus starts explaining, earning nothing less than a nod of absolute agreement from the person on the other side of the line, said person nodding at his order without any hesitation and question on their part.
"We will make sure to give you great news as soon as possible, leader" the figure assured as they place their hand on their chest, just above their hearts, a clear salute within their ranks, their words making Augustus smile as he nods in satisfaction to their words.
"Oh, another thing, that bastard is often exploring alone and has quite the troublesome ability, be sure to deal with him thoroughly or else it will be quite the trouble if you need to eliminate him for a second time" Augustus reminded, making the person on the other side of the line wonder just what is it that makes this target really troublesome, after all, they are on a far higher floor than him while this target is just someone challenging the second floor right now.
"If I may ask, leader, what is it that makes him so troublesome if we can't thoroughly deal with him the first time? I think we can just cripple him and be done with it right?" the subordinate ask, making the leader shake his head as he starts explaining the ability of their target.
"That bastard is practically immortal with his ability card, so we need to make sure that he won't recover from the wound he would receive, or else, it will just be pulling a really troublesome enemy for ourselves."
Augustus pointed out, sending all known information about their target's ability making his subordinate flinch in surprise, wondering whether such impressive ability can really be bestowed by the Ethereal Tower, however, seeing the serious expression on their leader's face, the subordinate can pretty much be certain that their target truly possesses an ability that works to such extent.
"I understand, leader, we will form a way for us to effectively deal with his ability, expect good news from us soon…" the subordinate said, thinking that no matter what sort of ability this target has, there's bound to be a limit to it, and it is their job to find out and exploit that limit so that they can effectively deal with their target.

While on of the tower's greatest Legias is currently planning on taking down an ascender currently challenging the second floor, their target is smiling in satisfaction as he stare at the gold coins on the table, the fruit of all his hard labor during his hunt on his first day on the second floor, the store keeper taking tally of his total earnings still in disbelief that an individual will just enter their establishment and drop such precious materials like its trash collected in the sideways, making them wonder just what sort of identity this young man has to treat the great material he has just like this.
"There is a total of one hundred and twenty-five gold coins in the bag, sir, thank you for picking our establishment for such a large trade, we hope that we can do transactions with you again!" after gaining a huge trade from someone, the storekeeper couldn't help but treat the young man with a smile on his face, looking at him like a great patron that will keep bringing fortune to their establishment, the young man also smiling at the storekeeper in satisfaction as he felt like the exchange rate is far better than he had initially expected.
"Pleasure doing business with you, storekeeper, I will return here tomorrow to sell some more materials to you" the young man said as he pocketed the gold coins that serves as his payment for the materials that he sold to the store, waving his hand as he leaves through the door, his words still being processed by the storekeeper as he also waved back to the young man with a pleasant smile on his face.
"Yes, yes, I shall also buy materials tomorrow, dear customer" the storekeeper said, muttering to himself for a while repeatedly until he finally realized the meaning of the words spoken by the young man before he left.
"Tomorrow again!?"
