At this point, the invitations for the Workshop Battle are sent out. Viole's FUG Team receive theirs after breezing through the 29th Floor test, Shibisu's team are seen getting theirs, and the Rak and Paracule team are implied to have received one as well. Before taking their 29th Floor test, Khun receives on his Lighthouse the invitation for the Workshop Battle, which includes invitations for his Sweet-and-Sour teammates as well. He figures that it's about time for them to get moving.

Throughout the night, Sweet-and-Sour go against Khun's order, and use it to get in some last minute training. Goseng tries to come up with more strategies, Prince helps Miseng train given that the latter doesn't want to lose Viole and Horyang like she lost her parents, and Ehwa tries to control her flames now that Viole is no longer around to control her. Khun is left annoyed that the team refused to rest, and orders them once more to go to bed to get as much sleep as they can before the test. Dan figures that Khun needs rest as well, but the latter informs the former that he can't since he's never been more nervous trying to climb the team with a group that's such a disaster. Khun even mentions that he's starting to understand why FUG wasn't comfortable seeing their Slayer-Candidate with such an awful team while also being confused as to how Bam was able to put up with Team Sweet-and-Sour.

!!!Short Summary

Viole, Nobic, and Ran escape the exploding Hand of Arlene in a rock golem that FUG established as an escape vehicle. The three of them are greeted by Sia, as well as Cassano, who took the unconscious Horyang with him. Sia informs them that FUG destroying the Hand of Arlene was just the beginning to establish the legend of their great FUG Slayer that will be a symbol of fear and worship in the Tower. She then adds that they will be making a new E-rank FUG team to build on the legend by destroying their opponents in the upcoming Workshop Battle.

Not wanting to be part of this, Nobic and Ran get ready to fight Sia and Cassano, but Viole steps in before the fight could start, and orders Sia to make the two of them part of FUG's team. Without FUG noticing, Viole talks through Ran's Pocket to hint that he's not their enemy, and that Khun no doubt survived the explosion. As a result, Ran and Nobic agree to become part of the team as Sia is forced to go along with it.

Meanwhile, Sweet and Sour search through the Hand of Arlene rubble in hopes that they could find any sign of Viole and Horyang. Ehwa's able to track Viole's Pocket deep in the rubble, but instead of finding their missing teammates near it, they uncover Khun.

Khun rests in a hospital, and during his sleep, tries to put together how everything he's witnessed up to this point is connected. Before he could find the answer, he wakes up only to see Wangnan and Ehwa trying to take care of him. Khun threatens Wangnan wanting to know why they're helping him, which Wangnan answers that it's because his team needs answers. Khun is introduced to the remaining members of Sweet and Sour, which he admits to finding off that the dreaded FUG Slayer would have such an ordinary team.

Wangnan explains that they're trying to figure out what happened to Viole and Horyang at the Hand of Arlene, but Khun answers that even he doesn't know yet. Wangnan hands over Viole's Pocket that was found near him in the rubble, which causes Khun to react seeing the letter A on it. Khun gets ready to leave to return to his base on the 29th Floor, but Sweet and Sour ask to go along since they believe that Khun's situation is somehow connected to them, which Khun agrees to.

Arriving at Khun's 29th Floor bunker, he and Team Tansooyook go inside to locate the remaining members of Khun's team, but come across the room with Gyetang's corpse, the injured Dan, and F.U.G. written on the wall. Sweet and Sour pick up Dan to take him to a hospital, but Khun notices that his teammate's legs have been brutally damaged.

Some time later, Dan rests in a hospital as Khun informs Sweet and Sour of the injury. Khun reassures the group that he knows that despite it being FUG's doing, Viole wasn't the cause of his team falling apart, and was done by a girl named Rachel. Khun then asks that he have a brief moment alone to organize his thoughts.

Inspecting Viole's grade-A Pocket, Khun comes to the conclusion that it's the high-end Pocket that Princess Yuri gave Bam on Headon's 1st Floor. He's finally able to connect the dots that everything he's witnessed is because of the existence of an Irregular, which Bam turned out to be, but still isn't fully convinced that Viole is Bam. It's at this point that Khun is greeted by Hwaryun.

Meanwhile, Shibisu's Workshop ready team are seen in their home watching a newscast regarding the Hand of Arlene incident being the start of the legacy for FUG's Slayer Candidate, Viole. At another Tower location, Rak is greeted by Paracule, who informs the alligator of Khun's apparent death. However, Rak refuses to believe it as the two of them head off to search for Khun.

Within FUG's facility, Cassano convinces Horyang to join FUG's team so that they can reunite with Sophia at the Workshop Battle. Nobic and Ran are also brought to the facility as they spot Sia walking by with two new FUG newcomers that are going to be joining their Workshop FUG team.

Back to Khun, Hwaryun explains that as a guide, she can go anywhere in the Tower, and reveals to Khun that she had been working for FUG long before they met on the Floor of Tests. She reveals that FUG knew about Bam being an Irregular, and had tasked Hwaryun to join the Floor of Tests so that Bam would be brought FUG, and turned into their Slayer Candidate, Viole. The revelation stuns Khun, and orders for Hwaryun to give Bam back, but the guide reveals that what happened at the Hand of Arlene wasn't part of her plan.

Hwaryun explains to Khun that there's a split in FUG currently regarding if Viole should move about freely, or to be controlled. Her side was to allow Viole to move freely, but there are also power hungry higher-ups in FUG that wish to control him, and laid the trap at the Hand of Arlene in order to provide Viole a new team that would have control over their FUG Slayer.

She asks for Khun to win the Workshop Battle with Sweet and Sour so that Viole can return to moving around freely, but Khun rejects it knowing that in the end, Bam will still be stuck within FUG. However, Hwaryun points out that he's in no position to help Bam now that his team's fallen apart. At this point, Wangnan appears before the two informing Khun that Dan's awake.

Khun sits alongside Dan, who doesn't blame Khun for what happened, and informs him that he's always regretted running away from the team he lost before joining Khun's, and had chosen to stick by Khun as an apology. Dan states that he wants to join in on the Workshop Battle to show Rachel, who kept him alive to see if he could climb with injured legs, that he hasn't given up just yet. Seeing Dan's strong will convinces Khun to go along with Hwaryun's task.

Khun explains to Sweet and Sour that despite Wangnan and company having lost their two strongest members, he will come up with a strategy that will win them the Workshop Battle. Khun reassures them that them taking part in Workshop is just to see the friends they lost, which Wangnan agrees with, and accepts Khun as part of the team.

Meanwhile at FUG's facility, Viole is introduced to his two new teammates. A masked fisherman named Reflejo, but the second is still unknown. Reflejo provides Viole a weapon called the Thorn, which the FUG Slayer tests on a wall, and makes a giant crack. Reflejo apologizes for going to such great lengths to force Viole into their team, but Viole answers that it's his own fault for allowing this to happen, and states that they should prepare for the 29th Floor test.

A month passes as Khun had used the time to train Sweet and Sour for their upcoming 29th Floor test. After completing the final day of training, Khun asks that they use the final night before the test to rest. Dan is also up and about, and informs the group that he needs to start walking again to help with the healing process.

Throughout the night, Sweet and Sour go against Khun's order, and use it to get in some last minute training. Goseng tries to come up with more strategies, Prince helps Miseng train, and Ehwa tries to control her flames now that Viole is no longer around to control her. Khun is left annoyed that the team refused to rest, and orders them once more to go to bed to get as much sleep as they can before the test. Dan figures that Khun needs rest as well, but the latter informs the former that he can't since he's never been more nervous trying to climb the team with a group that's such a disaster.

!!!Long Summary

Inspecting Viole's grade-A Pocket, Khun comes to the conclusion that it's the high-end Pocket that Princess Yuri gave Bam on Headon's 1st Floor. He's finally able to connect the dots that everything he's witnessed is because of the existence of an Irregular, which Bam turned out to be, but still isn't fully convinced that Viole is Bam. It's at this point that Khun is greeted by Hwa Ryun.

Back to Khun, Hwa Ryun explains that as a guide, she can go anywhere in the Tower, and reveals to Khun that she had been working for FUG long before they met on the Floor of Tests. She reveals that FUG knew about Bam being an Irregular, and had tasked Hwa Ryun to join the Floor of Tests so that Bam would be brought FUG, and turned into their Slayer Candidate, Viole. The revelation stuns Khun, and orders for Hwa Ryun to give Bam back, but the guide reveals that what happened at the Hand of Arlene wasn't part of her plan.

Hwa Ryun explains to Khun that there's a split in FUG currently regarding if Viole should move about freely, or to be controlled. Her side was to allow Viole to move freely, but there are also power hungry higher-ups in FUG that wish to control him, and laid the trap at the Hand of Arlene in order to provide Viole a new team that would have control over their FUG Slayer.

She asks for Khun to win the Workshop Battle with Sweet and Sour so that Viole can return to moving around freely, but Khun rejects it knowing that in the end, Bam will still be stuck within FUG. However, Hwa Ryun points out that he's in no position to help Bam now that his team's fallen apart. At this point, Wangnan appears before the two informing Khun that Dan's awake.

Khun sits alongside Dan, who doesn't blame Khun for what happened, and informs him that he's always regretted running away from the team he lost before joining Khun's, and had chosen to stick by Khun as an apology. Dan states that he wants to join in on the Workshop Battle to show Rachel, who kept him alive to see if he could climb with injured legs, that he hasn't given up just yet. Seeing Dan's strong will convinces Khun to go along with Hwa Ryun's task.

[[caption-width-right:300:Hwa Ryun greets Khun]]

Khun thinks back to how Bam was confirmed to be an Irregular, and realizes that FUG, Slayer, Rachel, Betrayal, Death, Bam, and the Viole title, are all connected through the existence of someone being an Irregular. Despite making this deduction, Khun is still not 100% sure that Viole is actually 25th Bam. However, it's at this point that Khun is greeted by someone he was not expecting to see, the one-eyed, red-headed guide, Hwa Ryun.

[[caption-width-right:300:Hwa Ryun reveals to Khun that she led Bam down the path of the FUG Slayer]]

Returning to Khun, he questions why Hwa Ryun has come before him given that the last time he saw her was when she failed the Floor of Tests. Hwa Ryun answers that it's because she was bestowed with the Tower's guide Position, which allows for her to go anywhere in the Tower. Khun remains confused, which Hwa Ryun further explains that she was provided a job from FUG to take the Floor of Tests alongside Khun and company. Hearing the fact that Hwa Ryun and FUG are connected shocks Khun, which she answers to be the case. She explains to Khun that FUG had wanted the Irregular known as 25th Bam so that their dream to reshape the Tower would come true. She also adds that it was FUG who made sure that everyone would believe Bam died on the Floor of Tests. He was then turned into the FUG Slayer, Jue Viole Grace, and that the guide who led him onto this path was her.

Unable to believe what he's hearing, Khun attempts to land a punch on Hwa Ryun, but has his first blocked by the guide's staff. He orders for Hwa Ryun to tell him where she took Bam, but she answers that what happened at the Hand of Arlene wasn't part of her plan, which confuses Khun. She explains to him that what happened to Bam is related to elder FUG members and previous Slayers that are only interested in the politics and powers within the terrorist organization, and that they've gone to such a length to make sure that they can have Viole under their control with a team created by them.

[[caption-width-right:300:Hwa Ryun asks Khun to win the Workshop Battle so that Viole can be free again]]

Khun questions if what Hwa Ryun means is that she ended up getting stabbed in the back, which she admits to be the case. With her explanation over, Hwa Ryun asks Khun for a favor, which surprises him. She asks for Khun to win the Workshop Battle with what's left of Viole's former Sweet and Sour, which greatly confuses Khun as to why he needs to do this. Hwa Ryun explains that FUG came to a disagreement as to whether Viole should climb with this new team made by the FUG higher-ups, or his original Sweet and Sour. She adds that while there's been a high Ranker in FUG allowing for the FUG Slayer to live freely (referring to Jinsung) Viole still turned out to be such a powerful monster that the higher-ups couldn't ignore him being away from their control, and many in FUG turned out to be in agreement with said higher-ups.

Khun rejects Hwa Ryun by stating that even if he helped Sweet and Sour win the Workshop Battle, nothing in the end will change since Bam would still be stuck in FUG to be taken advantage of. However, Hwa Ryun points out that Khun's current position is weak to do anything about this issue himself due to his team falling apart, and asks if he's choosing to give up, and run away. Unable to say anything back, Khun accepts that he's in no position at the moment to help Bam. At this point, Wangnan appears before the two of them to inform Khun that Dan is finally awake.

Outside Dan's hospital room, Hwa Ryun is seen with Sweet and Sour. Khun exits the room, and calls out to Hwa Ryun that he will accept the task to take Sweet and Sour to the Workshop Battle, and come out the winners.

* {{Exposition}}: Hwa Ryun explains to Khun that there's two sides in FUG currently at war as to how they should allow their FUG Slayer to move; either by freedom, or control.

* TheReveal: FUG is revealed to have two factions. One that wants to allow Viole to move about freely, which Jinsung and Hwa Ryun are a part of. The other consisting of many of the FUG higher-ups are the people who want to control Viole.

Ehwa asks Wangnan what they should do, which Wangnan answers that they need to blow the rubble away. Before anyone else could question his decision, Wangnan picks up one of his shinsoo bombs, and throws it at the rubble. The bomb explodes, and as the smoke subsides, much of the rubble had been removed in front of them.

The 29th story arc of the ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'' series consisting of chapters 52 - 55 from the second season. The arc centers around the remains of Team Tangsooyook teaming up with Koon to make it to the Workshop Battle in time. Meanwhile, Viole is forced into a new team created by FUG that are also set on winning Workshop.

Viole, Novick, and Ran escape the exploding Hand of Arlen in a rock golem that FUG established as an escape vehicle. The three of them are greeted by Xia, as well as Cassano, who took the unconscious Horyang with him. Xia informs them that FUG destroying the Hand of Arlen was just the beginning to establish the legend of their great FUG Slayer that will be a symbol of fear and worship in the Tower. She then adds that they will be making a new E-rank FUG team to build on the legend by destroying their opponents in the upcoming Workshop Battle.

Not wanting to be part of this, Novick and Ran get ready to fight Xia and Cassano, but Viole steps in before the fight could start, and orders Xia to make the two of them part of FUG's team. Without FUG noticing, Viole talks through Ran's Pocket to hint that he's not their enemy, and that Koon no doubt survived the explosion. As a result, Ran and Novick agree to become part of the team as Xia is forced to go along with it.

Meanwhile, Team Tangsooyook search through the Hand of Arlen rubble in hopes that they could find any sign of Viole and Horyang. Yihwa's able to track Viole's Pocket deep in the rubble, but instead of finding their missing teammates near it, they uncover Koon.

Koon rests in a hospital, and during his sleep, tries to put together how everything he's witnessed up to this point is connected. Before he could find the answer, he wakes up only to see Wangnan and Yihwa trying to take care of him. Koon threatens Wangnan wanting to know why they're helping him, which Wangnan answers that it's because his team needs answers. Koon is introduced to the remaining members of Team Tangsooyook, which he admits to finding off that the dreaded FUG Slayer would have such an ordinary team.

Koon then asks that he have a brief moment alone to organize his thoughts.

Inspecting Viole's grade-A Pocket, Koon comes to the conclusion that it's the high-end Pocket that Princess Yuri gave Baam on Headon's 1st Floor. He's finally able to connect the dots that everything he's witnessed is because of the existence of an Irregular, which Baam turned out to be, but still isn't fully convinced that Viole is Baam. It's at this point that Koon is greeted by Hwa Ryun.

Meanwhile, Leesoo's Workshop ready team are seen in their home watching a newscast regarding the Hand of Arlen incident being the start of the legacy for FUG's Slayer Candidate, Viole. At another Tower location, Rak is greeted by Parakewl, who informs the alligator of Koon's apparent death. However, Rak refuses to believe it as the two of them head off to search for Koon.

Within FUG's facility, Cassano convinces Horyang to join FUG's team so that they can reunite with Sophia at the Workshop Battle. Novick and Ran are also brought to the facility as they spot Xia walking by with two new FUG newcomers that are going to be joining their Workshop FUG team.

Hwa Ryun explains to Koon that there's a split in FUG currently regarding if Viole should move about freely, or to be controlled. Her side was to allow Viole to move freely, but there are also power hungry higher-ups in FUG that wish to control him, and laid the trap at the Hand of Arlen in order to provide Viole a new team that would have control over their FUG Slayer.

She asks for Koon to win the Workshop Battle with Team Tangsooyook so that Viole can return to moving around freely, but Koon rejects it knowing that in the end, Baam will still be stuck within FUG.

A month passes as Koon had used the time to train Team Tangsooyook for their upcoming 29th Floor test. After completing the final day of training, Koon asks that they use the final night before the test to rest. Dan is also up and about, and informs the group that he needs to start walking again to help with the healing process.

Throughout the night, Team Tangsooyook go against Koon's order, and use it to get in some last minute training. Goseng tries to come up with more strategies, Prince helps Miseng train, and Yihwa tries to control her flames now that Viole is no longer around to control her. Koon is left annoyed that the team refused to rest, and orders them once more to go to bed to get as much sleep as they can before the test. Dan figures that Koon needs rest as well, but the latter informs the former that he can't since he's never been more nervous trying to climb the team with a group that's such a disaster.

[[caption-width-right:300:FUG's rock golem escapes the Hand of Arlen with Viole, Novick, and Ran inside]]

The rock golem that protected Viole and company from the explosion at the Hand of Arlen continues to float away from the area with all of them still inside it. Viole remains kneeling on the ground in anger and frustration over what had just transpired as Novick and Ran begin to wake up.

Giving off a sigh of relief, Novick is glad that, at the very least, the two of them managed to survive the explosion. Looking around, Novick notes how FUG had constructed a floating rock golem using soil dolls, and deduces that it was planned from the beginning that the Hand of Arlen was going to be blown up. Novick turns to Ran to see if he's ok, which Ran answers that he is. Novick is then left wondering if Koon somehow made it out safely as well.

Nearby, Xia and Cassano are seen walking up to them while Horyang is seen lying on the ground nearby. Xia finds it surprising that Novick and Ran managed to also end up in their escape golem, which Novick asks why she did all this. Xia answers that it was to show FUG off to the Tower, and explains that the destruction of the Hand of Arlen was required to create a symbol of terror and worship regarding the birth of their new FUG Slayer. She adds that it will be interesting to see how people react when the rumors begin to spread that their FUG Slayer went to such lengths in order to kill a son from a Great Family.

Xia continues her story that the trap at the Hand of Arlen was just the beginning, and that they now have their sights set to join the Workshop Battle. They plan to make a top E-rank team of Regulars that will eliminate everyone in the tournament so that they can continue building on the new legend that they started for Viole.

Novick remains silent unable to say anything as Ran gets up claiming that this story isn't funny, and that everyone will be dead soon anyway. Threatening Xia and Cassano, Ran states that he will kill them before they ever get to Workshop. Novick asks if Ran is ok to continue fighting, but despite Ran saying that he is, Novick could tell that his partner is completely exhausted. Ran and Cassano charge one another prepared to fight, but before their attacks could connect, Viole steps between them. Shown to have copied Novick's Hayeol abilities, Viole uses the Crimson Soul Fist Seal sphere to stop both their attacks.

Ran and Cassano back down from fighting as Viole stands before everyone. He sends Novick and Ran a message through Xia's lighthouse that he doesn't wish to fight the people who were Koon's teammates. Hearing that Viole knows about Koon surprises Novick and Ran as Xia is left confused as to why Viole is choosing to talk with them through the lighthouse.

Still talking through the lighthouse, Viole turns his attention to Xia, and tells her that while he will join the Workshop Battle with her team, Novick and Ran will be joining them. Novick and Ran remain confused by the statement as a shocked Xia begins to realize what Viole is planning. She tries to inform him that a problem may occur if he goes this route, but Viole rejects her by stating that his decision is final.

Unable to say anything else, Xia finally agrees to go along with it as she orders for Novick and Ran to follow her so that they can put their Workshop team together. Novick and Ran still remain convinced as to why they should go, but Viole orders them over the lighthouse to follow, or else they will die here. Novick remains confused as to why Viole would both worry about them, and threaten them with death. However, unbeknownst to Xia and Cassano, Viole had sent a message to Ran's Pocket.

[[caption-width-right:300:Xia goes along with Viole's order to allow Novick and Ran into FUG's team]]

Ran looks to his Pocket, and sees Viole's message to trust him, and that he's not his enemy. Viole also states that someone like Koon would be able to survive the Hand of Arlen explosion. Thinking it over, Ran decides to go along with it, and states that he will join FUG's team to enter the Workshop Battle which confuses Novick even further.

Meanwhile, at the rubble where the Hand of Arlen use to stand, Team Tangsooyook look around hoping that they can find any clue regarding Viole and Horyang's whereabouts. Moments later, Yihwa notes that she's tracking something on her Pocket, which she believes to be Viole's Pocket that's been buried deep in the rubble.

[[folder:Koon Recovered]]

Yihwa asks Wangnan what they should do, which Wangnan answers that they need to blow the rubble away. Before anyone else could question his decision, Wangnan picks up one of his shinsoo bombs, and throws it at the rubble. The bomb explodes, and as the smoke subsides, much of the rubble had been removed in front of them.

[[caption-width-right:300:Team Tangsooyook uncovers Koon from the Hand of Arlen rubble]]

Team Tangsooyook look amongst the cleared rubble, and spot the location where Yihwa tracked Viole's Pocket. However, next to Viole's Pocket is Koon; having protected himself from the rubble using his Armor Inventory. Seeing Koon, Team Tangsooyook hurry towards him to check if he's ok.

In his sleep, Koon thinks back to the last moments he saw Viole screaming back to him to run from the Hand of Arlen explosion. He questions if the voice he heard sounded like Baam or not, and tries to piece together the information he had so far. He thinks back to how FUG's new Slayer Candidate, Jyu Viole Grace, has been given the mission to kill Zahard, and the heads of the ten Great Families, to make FUG's dream come true.

Despite that, he remains confused as to why Viole tried to call out to him, and tries to peice together how FUG, Slayer, Rachel, Betrayal, Death and Baam, are all connected. He thinks back to how Emile told him that Baam's alive, and feels like he finally got an answer of proof that it may be true, but before Koon could know for sure, he wakes up hearing someone screaming. Goseng and Yihwa are seen next to Koon, who was resting in bed until that point. Wangnan complains as to why Yihwa set the acupuncture on Koon's chest on fire just now as Yihwa fears that something bad might happen.

[[caption-width-right:300:Koon meets Team Tangsooyook]]

She asks if she should take the burning acupuncture out, but Wangnan fears that it's too late now since Yihwa's flames are too hot, and states that they need to bring water over. However, Yihwa warns him that her fire can't be put out with simple water. Wangnan and Yihwa continue to argue about what to do, but Koon quickly pulls out the acupuncture, and grabs hold of Wangnan to threaten him with it. Holding the acupuncture up to Wangnan's throat, Koon orders for Wangnan to tell him his identity, and why they've taken him in. Wangnan answers that it's because there's something they need to know from him as well.

Some time later, Koon is introduced to the rest of Team Tansooyook, which now consists of just Wangnan, Yihwa, Goseng, Miseng, Akraptor, and Prince. Koon asks if this really was the team that Viole was climbing the Tower with, which Miseng answers that it was, but now doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Looking over the group, Koon deduces that this team is just too ordinary to be climbing alongside FUG's Slayer Candidate, and feels that something is amiss here. Wangnan explains that they followed after their two teammates, Viole and Horyang, to the Hand or Arlen, but failed to reach them in time before the structure turned to rubble, and all they could find was Viole's Pocket alongside Koon deep within it.

[[caption-width-right:300:Wangnan shows Viole's Grade-A Pocket that was found with Koon in the rubble]]

He asks Koon what happened at the Hand of Arlen, but Koon answers that even he doesn't know for sure yet, which leaves Wangnan even more confused. Koon asks about Viole's Pocket they claimed to have been found alongside him, which Wangnan answers that they have it, and hands it over.

Koon looks at Viole's Pocket, but all that's written on it is the letter A. He then gets up, and informs Koon that he's heading out to get his team back, which leaves Wangnan even more confused as to what's going on. Wangnan tries to stop Koon, but is helped by Akraptor, who blocks Koon from exiting the room. He asks for Koon to take them along with him, which leaves Koon confused. Akraptor explains that he believes that Koon's appearance has something to do with what happened to Viole and Horyang, and states that he needs any information he can get to know that they're both alive and safe. Koon asks if Team Tangsooyook is qualified to climb to the 29th Floor, which the team states they are. In return, Koon asks that they follow him.

Koon and Team Tangsooyook travel up to the 29th Floor, and reach a bunker that Koon's team was using as their temporary home. Yihwa, Goseng and Miseng stay behind in their transport vehicle as Wangnan, Prince, Akraptor, and Koon head for the bunker to check if it's safe; finding it amazing how rich Koon must be to afford such a home. Akraptor walks alongside Koon, and reveals that he did his research on him knowing that he's full identity is Koon Augero Agnis, a prideful Great Family member, and a famous Regular amongst the E-ranks.

[[caption-width-right:300:Koon returns to his 29th Floor base only to find Dan injured, and Gyetang dead]]

Akraptor points out how being a Great Family member makes him an enemy of Viole, which causes Koon to react. However, Koon shakes it off, and informs Akraptor that he witnessed Viole and Horyang escape out of the destroyed Hand of Arlen alive. Akraptor is glad to hear it, but Koon informs him that what he's truly worried about was what may have gone down in this bunker while he was away.

The four of them enter Koon's bunker as Koon begins to call out for his teammates, such as Gyetang, Dan, and Michael. Wangnan checks one of the rooms, and is shocked by what he sees. He calls out to Koon that he's found someone as they all enter the room Wangnan opened. Wangnan, Prince, Akraptor, and Koon are left stunned seeing F.U.G. written on the wall with a tied up Dan bleeding out on the floor, and Gyetang lying dead in the bed.

Koon is left shocked believing that they're both dead, and looks to the FUG word that's been written on the wall. However, Prince notices vital signs on his lighthouse that shows that amongst the two, Dan is still breathing. Team Tangsooyook pick up Dan's body as Wangnan orders Prince to locate a nearby hospital that they can bring Dan to. Koon takes a closer look at the injured Dan, and is saddened to see that his legs have been brutally stabbed.

Some time later in the hospital room, Dan remains resting on a bed while Koon remains sitting on a bench nearby thinking about what had just transpired. Koon then leaves the hospital room, and is greeted by Team Tangsooyook wondering how Dan is doing. He informs the group that while Dan will manage to survive, his legs have been severely injured.

[[caption-width-right:300:Hwa Ryun greets Koon]]

Wangnan tries to explain that this had nothing to with Viole, but Koon cuts him off stating that he already knows that, and that the one who was behind the betrayal in his team was Rachel. Koon states that he wishes to have some alone time to clear his thoughts, which Team Tangsooyook allow him to do so.

Moments later, Koon remains alone in a giant room, and looks down at Viole's Pocket with the letter A. He figures that if Viole was indeed Baam, then the Pocket he's currently holding is the Grade-A Pocket that Princess Yuri had provided Baam before he took part in Headon's 1st Floor test. Koon admits that the fact that Regulars need to upgrade their Pockets going up the Tower makes it highly unlikely that just about anyone would start off with a high-end Grade-A Pocket, and pretty much confirms that the Pocket is Baam's.

Koon thinks back to how Baam was confirmed to be an Irregular, and realizes that FUG, Slayer, Rachel, Betrayal, Death, Baam, and the Viole title, are all connected through the existence of someone being an Irregular. Despite making this deduction, Koon is still not 100% sure that Viole is actually 25th Baam. However, it's at this point that Koon is greeted by someone he was not expecting to see, the one-eyed, red-headed guide, Hwa Ryun.

At another location, Leesoo's team can be seen watching a newscast in their room regarding the Hand of Arlen having been blown to pieces on the 28th Floor. The reporters claim that many Regulars caught in the explosion had died or been injured, including Koon, who they assume had been killed. They continue by stating that left behind inside the rubble of the Hand of Arlen was a symbol of FUG's Slayer Candidate, and a message claiming that what happened here is a sacrifice for the birth of their new FUG Slayer. The reports add that this message could also be interpreted as a warning to those that are set to take part in the 30th Floor's Workshop Battle. Watching the report of Leesoo's team includes him, Androssi, Anak, Hatsu, Laure, Aleksai, and two unknown newcomers.

[[caption-width-right:300:Parakewl informs Rak about Koon's apparent death at the Hand of Arlen]]

Elsewhere, Rak remains sitting on a tiny island as Parakewl is seen jumping along the rocks to reach the alligator's location. Parakewl yells to him that he just received some big news, and informs Rak that he just learned that Koon's been announced to be dead. Despite looking shocked at first, Rak shakes it off, and orders for Parakewl not to lie to him about something that sounded so stupid for his genius. Parakewl states that it's true if Rak just looks up the information on a lighthouse himself, but Rak ignores it, and begins to walk away.

Parakewl next asks what Rak is doing, which the alligator answers that he's off to catch a sneaky turtle. Knowing that he's referring to Koon, Parakewl questions how Rak plans to find a dead person, but Rak orders the idiot to shut up, and to just continue following along.

Within a FUG hideout, Horyang wakes up in a locked room, and finds it surprising that he's somehow alive and well. Horyang is then greeted by Cassano, which angers Ilmar that his friend led him into a trap at the Hand of Arlen. However, Cassano asks for Horyang to join FUG's team for the Workshop. He informs Ilmar that Sophia is waiting for them, which leaves Horyang confused as to what Cassano means by that. In another locked room of the FUG facility is Ran and Novick eating a snack they were given.

[[caption-width-right:300:Hwa Ryun reveals to Koon that she led Baam down the path of the FUG Slayer]]

As they eat their snacks, Novick notices Xia walking by the window of their locked door, and spots two hooded figures walking behind her. He questions if these two are perhaps new teammates that were provided from FUG.

Returning to Koon, he questions why Hwa Ryun has come before him given that the last time he saw her was when she failed the Floor of Tests. Hwa Ryun answers that it's because she was bestowed with the Tower's guide Position, which allows for her to go anywhere in the Tower. Koon remains confused, which Hwa Ryun further explains that she was provided a job from FUG to take the Floor of Tests alongside Koon and company. Hearing the fact that Hwa Ryun and FUG are connected shocks Koon, which she answers to be the case. She explains to Koon that FUG had wanted the Irregular known as 25th Baam so that their dream to reshape the Tower would come true. She also adds that it was FUG who made sure that everyone would believe Baam died on the Floor of Tests. He was then turned into the FUG Slayer, Jyu Viole Grace, and that the guide who led him onto this path was her.

Unable to believe what he's hearing, Koon attempts to land a punch on Hwa Ryun, but has his first blocked by the guide's staff. He orders for Hwa Ryun to tell him where she took Baam, but she answers that what happened at the Hand of Arlen wasn't part of her plan, which confuses Koon. She explains to him that what happened to Baam is related to elder FUG members and previous Slayers that are only interested in the politics and powers within the terrorist organization, and that they've gone to such a length to make sure that they can have Viole under their control with a team created by them.

[[caption-width-right:300:Hwa Ryun asks Koon to win the Workshop Battle so that Viole can be free again]]

Koon questions if what Hwa Ryun means is that she ended up getting stabbed in the back, which she admits to be the case. With her explanation over, Hwa Ryun asks Koon for a favor, which surprises him. She asks for Koon to win the Workshop Battle with what's left of Viole's former Team Tangsooyook, which greatly confuses Koon as to why he needs to do this. Hwa Ryun explains that FUG came to a disagreement as to whether Viole should climb with this new team made by the FUG higher-ups, or his original Team Tangsooyook. She adds that while there's been a high Ranker in FUG allowing for the FUG Slayer to live freely (referring to Jinsung) Viole still turned out to be such a powerful monster that the higher-ups couldn't ignore him being away from their control, and many in FUG turned out to be in agreement with said higher-ups.

Koon rejects Hwa Ryun by stating that even if he helped Team Tangsooyook win the Workshop Battle, nothing in the end will change since Baam would still be stuck in FUG to be taken advantage of. However, Hwa Ryun points out that Koon's current position is weak to do anything about this issue himself due to his team falling apart, and asks if he's choosing to give up, and run away. Unable to say anything back, Koon accepts that he's in no position at the moment to help Baam. At this point, Wangnan appears before the two of them to inform Koon that Dan is finally awake.

[[caption-width-right:300:The injured Dan asks Koon to let him take part in the Workshop Battle]]

Sitting at Dan's bedside, Koon informs him of his leg injury, which he stubbornly accepts that he won't be able to run fast anymore. Koon apologizes to Dan for forcing him to join his team, but Dan ignores it, and states that he wishes for Koon to take him to the Workshop Battle. The announcement shocks Koon, and reminds Dan of the current status of his legs. However, Dan explains that he needs to do this, because Rachel kept him alive to see how far he can go without the use of his legs. He continues by stating that he doesn't want Rachel to see that he's given up everything, and fallen into misery without the use of his legs.

Koon continues to sit by listening as Dan reveals to him that he lost all his teammates in the last team he was part of before Koon had forced him into his new team. He explains that compared to his teammates, who stood strong against the tough opponents they came across in the exam, he instead chose to run away. He admits to have broken down to tears after having successfully run away from the exam.

Dan points out that the reason he stuck by Koon through all this is because he still hasn't forgiven himself for betraying his previous team, and that despite his team now having fallen apart once more, he's been unable to cry any tears. He states once more for the two of them to go to the Workshop Battle so that he can prove to Rachel that he hasn't given just yet, which leaves Koon silent.

Outside Dan's hospital room, Hwa Ryun is seen with Team Tangsooyook. Koon exits the room, and calls out to Hwa Ryun that he will accept the task to take Team Tangsooyook to the Workshop Battle, and come out the winners.

[[caption-width-right:300:Koon joins forces with Team Tangsooyook to win the Workshop Battle]]

Wangnan questions what Koon is referring to, which causes him to introduce himself to Team Tangsooyook fully, and that he was a previous teammate of Viole. Koon explains that if they work together to win the Workshop Battle, they can bring Viole back. Looking at Team Tangsooyook, Koon admits that he doesn't care if winning the Workshop Battle brings no immediate change, but winning will be a personal win for him to get back that those who've been looking down on him.

Wangnan answers that with the loss of Viole and Horyang, their current team doesn't have a good percentage to win Workshop. However, Koon replies that they have a 100% chance of winning as long as he's with them. He informs Team Tangsooyook that he will come up with the perfect strategy, even if he has to resort to being dirty and nasty to do it, which leaves the group shocked at how scary the handsome Koon can be.

Despite his announcement, Koon reassures Team Tangsooyook that there's no pressure here, and that their joining the Workshop Battle should be viewed as just an attempt to meet an old friend. Thinking it over, Wangnan agrees with Koon, and sticks his hand out to shake hands. He states to Koon that they will win the Workshop Battle as Koon accepts shaking his hand to become a team.

Viole puts away the Thorn, and begins to leave. He passes by Xia and his new FUG teammates as Reflejo states that he wishes to apologize for having to bring the FUG Slayer here by force. Continuing to walk away, Viole replies that it was his own fault for showing FUG his weakness, and asks for the team to just focus on the upcoming test.

A month passes as Team Tangsooyook is seen at a location of the 29th Floor training for the their upcoming Floor test. Wangnan is seen running away from a rolling boulder while the rest of Tangsooyook take the moment to rest having to go through Koon's training. Meanwhile, Koon is seen sitting nearby watching over their training. Moments later, Team Tangsooyook are left completely exhausted as Koon remains as the only one standing; informing them that they're done for the day.

[[caption-width-right:300:Team Tangsooyook exhausted after experiencing Koon's one month training]]

Koon states that while there's still a few areas of training that he wishes to expand on, their 29th Floor test is tomorrow, and wishes for everyone to be rested for it. He adds that they will be leaving the next morning, and then officially ends the training. As Koon leaves the exhausted Tangsooyook Regulars to rest, Prince complains that the Great Family member has been acting like the leader ever since he joined. He also points out that the dude is crazy forcing them to endure endless training the whole month. Thinking over the current situation, Wangnan remains silent.

[[caption-width-right:300:Koon scolds Goseng for her lack of confidence in herself]]

Wangnan admits that he feels scared and nervous knowing that he will be entering a test without Viole and Horyang backing him up. He also adds that it's not just him that's perhaps feeling this way. That everyone on Team Tangsooyook is feeling a bit of emptiness without Viole and Horyang around, but are too stubborn to show that they're feeling lonely.

Meanwhile, Goseng arrives at Koon's room, and states that she wishes to ask him some questions about the plans they've established for the upcoming test. Koon asks what she's referring to, which Goseng answers that she was able to come up with a few partial strategies that could be implemented into Koon's plans. Koon thinks it over, and asks if Goseng spent the whole night reviewsing Koon's strategies only to come up with something as weak as a partial strategy, which leaves Goseng struggling to properly answer him. Koon calls her out for not putting much faith in the strategy they prepared over the past month, and points out that her teammates will struggle taking the test if they see that their light-bearer doesn't have confidence. He orders Goseng to have more faith in herself, which Goseng half-heartedly agrees that she will do so.

Prince and Miseng continue to rest after Koon's daily training, but Miseng gets up, which causes Prince to ask where she's going. Miseng answers that she plans to continue training, which shocks Prince, who reminds her that training for the day is over. A saddened Miseng answers that it's because she wants to see Viole and Horyang again. Beginning to cry, Miseng states that she will try harder so that she doesn't have to lose them similar to how she lost her parents.

In another room of their base, Yihwa is seen trying to control her powerful flames by lighting a tiny match, but continues to burn up the areas all around it. She falls to the floor in frustration confused as to why she can't do this properly, and thinks to herself that she will be bound to make a mistake in the 29th Floor test without Viole being there keeping her flames under control. Yihwa is left worrying that her current state will no doubt get everyone during the test hurt. The training continues throughout the night amongst everyone in Team Tangsooyook.

[[caption-width-right:300:Team Tangsooyook unable to get any sleep training for the 29th Floor test]]

Akraptor is seen trying to get some sleep, but becomes irritated being kept up because of everyone's training. The following morning, Koon and Dan are left stunned upon seeing that no one on Team Tangsooyook was able to get some rest. He yells at the group that it was an order from him to get some rest to be fresh for the 29th Floor test. He also reminds them that this is their only chance within the remaining time-frame to get invited to the 30th Floor's Workshop Battle in time. Becoming frustrated, Koon orders them to go back to bed to get as much sleep as they can before the test, which they all agree to do.

Koon returns to his room with Dan, but is still steaming in frustration at Team Tangsooyook training overtime. Dan points out that they're all just trying to do their best, but Koon replies that they're being stupid for not caring about their bodies being in the proper condition for the test. Koon admits that he's starting to understand why FUG has been so desperate to get their FUG Slayer away from this team that's been an absolute disaster, and finds it amazing that Baam was able to climb the Tower this far alongside them. Koon begins to wonder if its perhaps better that they don't win here, but Dan quickly orders him to get away from having that kind of thought.

[[caption-width-right:300:Dan noticing that Koon's nervous about the upcoming Floor Test]]

Koon spends the next moments tapping his desk in frustration, which Dan suggests that his teammate should get some rest since he will need it as well. Koon answers that he won't be able to get any sleep, because he's been too nervous. He points out how stupid it is for him to be nervous of a test that's as low as the 29th Tower Floor, and asks for Dan to call a doctor since he believes that Team Tangsooyook's stupidity has affected him.

Dan is seen thinking to himself that this result was obvious given that the team he created to look after Rachel were all above average teammates. Continuing to look at Koon, Dan figures that this must be a weird feeling for Koon given that it's normal to feel nervous before taking a test, and yet this is the first time he's been put in such a desperate situation. Dan is left wondering just how big the 29th Floor test actually is for Koon.

During the 29th Floor test for Viole's FUG team, the group is already seen to have passed the exam. Ran and Novick are seen looking at their six teammates consisting of Viole, Horyang, Xia, Cassano Reflejo, and an unknown. Novick points out how he doesn't like this team one bit, which Ran agrees with.

[[caption-width-right:300:Novick and Ran witness the overwhelming strength of Viole's FUG team]]

However, they both stubbornly admit that this is easily the best Tower team they've ever seen. Xia reacts to a message that had just been sent to her lighthouse, and is seen giving off a smile. She informs the team that it's finally here.

At another location, Leesoo reacts to a lighthouse near him after a message had been sent to it. Reading the message, he informs his team that it's about time for them to get moving. Their goal being to defeat the FUG Slayer, Viole. Meanwhile, Rak decides to change direction to take part in the Workshop Battle. Parakewl is left questioning Rak's decision pointing out that the cruel FUG Slayer will definitely be there, but Rak continues to completely ignore him.

At Koon's room, he is seen getting a bit of rest, but wakes up when he gets a message on his lighthouse. Reading the message, Koon sees that it's an invite to the Workshop battle for the following eight people team that consists of Koon, Wangnan, Yihwa, Goseng, Miseng, Akraptor, Prince and Dan. Koon falls back to sleep stating that it's now time to go to the Workshop Battle. Meanwhile, Team Tangsooyook are all seen resting in the waiting room after completing the 29th Floor test.

[[Recap/TowerOfGod Return to the main Tower of God recap page]].

She asks Wangnan what they should do, which Wangnan answers that they need to blow the rubble away. Before anyone else could question his decision, Wangnan picks up one of his shinsoo bombs, and throws it at the rubble. The bomb explodes, and as the smoke subsides, much of the rubble had been removed in front of them.
