Episode 20: Looking Up Was Tiring Me Out

Set on collecting what the Elixir of Life requires, Jinwoo keeps carving his way upward through the Demon Castle, the demon noble Esil now traveling alongside him. With every floor they clear, his shadows Igris and Tank gain levels and harden, growing more capable the higher the party pushes. Step by step the ascent finally brings Jinwoo to the dungeon's uppermost level.

Waiting there is the Demon King Baran. He descends astride a colossal white dragon, an overwhelming aura pouring off him. His appearance frames the coming showdown between Jinwoo and one of the castle's mightiest masters.

Chasing the components for the Elixir of Life, Jinwoo advances further into the Demon Castle with the demon noble Esil beside him, while his shadow soldiers Igris and Tank steadily climb in level across the floors. At the castle's peak he encounters its ruler: mounted on a giant white dragon, the Demon King Baran arrives radiating a commanding, overwhelming presence.
