The topic was Enryu vs Urek (I vote for Enryu simply the overwhelming description and achievement), not Urek vs Zahard and most definitely not Urek vs Zahard & Co. Most discussions and speculations are between two beings because that's what makes an interesting conversation and argument. Also, I fail to see how the tower's contract plays any role since Urek is an irregular; being born outside the tower voids the contract of invincibility towards those born within the tower. If based on just facts alone, Urek has conquered the tower faster than Zahard's time and Zahard climbed it with the 10 families, couple princesses, luslec, and pretty much all the top rankers. How much "experience" Zahard actually has over Urek and its actual significance have not been stated by Siu nor the comic but my opinion of it would be that it's not far off as both accomplished the same feat in terms of the struggle of tower climbing. Especially now while Zahard is inactive and Urek is still actively improving, working towards his goals. It is my opinion that Urek would win vs Zahard but it would be a very close victory and a great battle that is not one sided. All in all, Zahard and Urek are close in strength but definitely clear victory for Enryu I used the comparison with Zahard to bring you a sense of the broken power level betwen rank 2 and rank 3, eventhough the gap might not be that big between rank 3 and 4 (you're definitly right that Zahard and Urek are closer than Zahard to Enryu, my point was exactly Enryu>>Zahard>Urek if you're a maths nut like me :p).

Now the significance of contracts: When I speak about contracts, I'm not talking about the "using shinsoo" contract, or those that limit an irregular on a floor, I speak of those that enhance an individual : Unlimited lifespam, replenishing stamina (Love )=enhanced body statistics and recovery, enhanced Shinsoo resistance (Yu Han Sung )=enhanced Shinsoo "relationship". It's a concept a little bit cloudy for now, but SIU in his posts put a real enphasis on those, they might be quite important.
