Laputa

Laputa is the floating castle that serves both as Kalatus' final lair and as the secret clan house of Jeong-woo's Arthia. Yeon-woo recovers it from the Dragon Labyrinth and returns it to operational use as a base and mobile fortress.

History

Hidden haven of Kalatus and Arthia

Yeon-woo reaches Laputa at the center of the Dragon Labyrinth and identifies it as Kalatus' lair, final haven, and Arthia's hidden clan house. Kalatus' vestige awakens there after Jeong-woo's death while searching for a successor, and the castle preserves Jeong-woo's remaining connections and belongings. (Chapters 421–423)

After the caretaker Uballa disappears, Laputa circles the fiftieth floor under automatic stealth. Its limited magic reserves create a risk that concealment will fail or the castle will crash, so Yeon-woo boards it and retrieves the possessions left in Arthia's old quarters. (Chapters 432–434)

Mobile Arthia headquarters

Once restored to use, Laputa becomes Arthia's home and operational base. It crosses floor defenses during attacks, occupies the seventy-sixth floor as Arthia's headquarters, and deploys portals and forces during the battle against Allforone. (Chapters 541, 613, 621, 629, 648)
