level 57

Level 57, a realm known as the Walking Cities, is under the unique rule of a counter-giant army called the Saber Army. These Saber Men are extraordinary individuals, humans who have undergone a transformation to fuse with giants, granting them tremendous size and strength. Armed with massive swords, they have taken on the mantle of defending their giant brethren and confronting the Tower Gods.   The origins of the Saber Army are rooted in a noble sacrifice made by the last warrior giant. In an act of selflessness, he offered his own soul to empower these humans, enabling them to carry on the legacy of the giants who had valiantly battled the Tower Gods for generations. Despite facing repeated eradication at the hands of the Tower Gods, the Saber Army has displayed a remarkable resilience, repeatedly returning to the fray.   During their fierce battles, the Saber Army discovered that their unique transformation came at a cost. The fusion with giants significantly shortens their life expectancy, and any injuries sustained are felt with excruciating intensity, magnified tenfold. This extreme physical toll serves as a testament to their unyielding dedication to their cause.   In a previous confrontation, Umbar himself challenged the Saber Army to the brink of extinction. As a last resort, they chose to isolate themselves from the fabric of existence, effectively going into hiding until a prophesized warrior emerges to set them free and renew their mission.   The Saber Army has maintained a strong connection with adventurers, offering a safe haven compound within Level 57. This sanctuary serves as a refuge and base of operations for warriors and hunters alike, a place where they can gather, strategize, and prepare for the ongoing struggle against the Tower Gods and the quest to liberate the giants from their torment.
