Probably dungeon buff can slow his aging. A day outside = 1 month in dungeon, so if he still ages at normal rate then he'll be an decrepit old man even before the 10 years deadline.Even if nothing takes him out of the fight, he'll be 50 when the break happens. Despite the buffs he's getting, a decade of fighting plus normal aging will catch up to him eventually.
can he even be hurt by a gunshot wound at this point? forget how the dungeon leveling thing happens.Anyone else thinking it'd be interesting if the final panel contained a gun shot and we'd get a sudden protagonist switch?
mby it's a "the fifth element" cigarette?.... is his cig backwards on page 24?
