## Chapter Chronology

**A Symbol** is the 18th chapter in the *Build King* manga series.

## Summary

A masked man sees what is happened and comments about how the Build King will have to make his move.

At the Valley Styx, Tonkachi breaks free from Haka's Vigor which Haka notice this. Tonkachi then faces Haka and tells Haka to tell him where Renga is. Haka thinks about how its time to break Tonkachi's six homeostases and contents his thumbs to his index fingers to form a diamond. Haka uses his Six Down technique to coat Tonkachi with his Vigor, but dodges Tonkachi's hammer when Tonkachi swings it. As Haka is on the ground, Haka notices that the Vigor that is coating Tonkachi is cracking and thinks about how its just as he thought.

Elsewhere, Konechika is confronted by Maguni. Maguni asks Konechika where he is going while carrying such a heavy load and says that he will lend Konechika a hand. Konechika puts Renga down and says that it will be alright. Maguni hears this and says that that sound pathetic and wonders of Konechika will be alright. As Konechika puts out his Vigor Welding and explains what he is capable of, Maguni is shocked by this. Maguni asks if what Konechika is wielding, is a troll tools. It is explained what Troll Tools and what they are capable of. Renga worries about Konechika, which Konechika tells Renga to not watch or it will burn his eyes and to just close his eyes. Konechika thinks about how he doesn't want Renga to see this because he he is not himself when he uses his Vigor Welding. Maguni asks if Konechika knows what he is doing, since even crystallizing even a small amount of his vigor with a troll tool, can shave years off of Konechika's life in one go. As Maguni thinks about how Konechika has terrifying Vigor, Konechika uses his Vigor Weld technique on Maguni.

As Maguni is defeated, Konechika explains that there are those in this world with an even shorter future than him and asks why he should be so selfish about his own life, when he'd much rather use it to protect his friends. Renga calls out to Konechika, which Konechika says that he will get Renga out of here now. Konechika notices something and sees a large building land close by. Konechika then wonders just what the heck is that building.

Tonkachi notices that building and wonders what it is, and if it is a house-beast. Haka explains that the building is a combat dwellings called Build Soldiers, and that they are different from House-Beasts because they are operated by the resident. Haka says that they were designed by the owner of Satan Hills, the second master carpenter of the Carpenters, Bill Carpenter. As Tonkachi is shocked by this, Haka continues to explains how the discovery of Build Kings, homes are no longer just places to live in. Haka says that Build Kings, which are impervious to any attack, are said to harbor a Vigor capable of destroying the world. Haka explains that if someone were to live inside of a Build King, then it would be easy to take over the world. Haka states that a strong house is a symbol of domination, and that it just so happens that Tonkachi has come in contact with a certain House-Beast recently. Haka says that Two-by-Four is a monster that holds unbelievable Vigor and it's possible that Tonkachi unwittingly received it's Vigor as a gift. Tonkachi says that he doesn't know what Haka is talking about but there's is one thing he does know. Tonkachi puts on his headband and states that Haka must ahve a couple of screws loose since a house isn't a symbol of domination. Tonkachi says that a house is a symbol of peace, and explains that he is carpenter who build peace and that he is going to start construction that will build peace. As Tonkachi starts to glow, Haka notices that Tonkachi has Gold Vigor.
