-How dare you challenge me, Krueger, the 7th seat of the Apostle of Destruction, and the Destroyer of Mountains!
Krueger prepared for battle by fiercely slamming his fists together with a loud bang!
Bang!
“It’s time for Meow-Meow Storm Fist, meow! Meow meow meow!”
Theo was the first to launch thousands of invisible magical blades at Krueger.
‘He’s strong.’
Although invisible, Krueger felt the immense power approaching and thrust his hands into the ground.
If it were just his own power, he couldn’t have been blocked, but with the power of that fragment he was unstoppable.
It was the black orb that he obtained by chance some time ago, although unsure why it was here.
A red mist emerged from the black orb embedded in his chest, supplying Krueger with the lacking power of destruction.
-Mountain Lifting.
As Krueger raised his hand, a mountain rose from the ground.
Kking! Kking!
‘Hey! That’s mine! Core! Core! Come to me!’
As Fenrir saw his core fragment embedded in Krueger’s chest and yelled, Theo’s Meow-Meow Storm Fist collided with the mountain raised by Krueger.
Kwagwang!
Theo’s attack shattered the mountain, scattering huge boulders in all directions.
Thump thump.
Fenrir, floating in the air, sprinted forward, stepping on the surfaces of the flying rocks.
Since Krueger, also an Apostle of Destruction, had it, the core did not respond to his call.
Then
Kueng!
[It’s time for Cuengi’s Storm Fist!]
Cuengi, seeing Theo’s attack blocked, thrust his fist toward Krueger.
It was a perfect punch from Cuengi, smoothly executed from his legs to his waist to his fist.
Whether he learned it from someone or it was instinctive, there was not an ounce of excess movement.
-Hehehe. Not bad. Mountain Shattering.
Krueger laughed and thrust his fist forward in response.
Kwaang!
A massive collision of forces. This time, a strong wind blew.
Fortunately, Fenrir had managed to embed his dragon claws into Krueger’s back before that.
Kwaaaaang!
Though buffeted by the strong winds, he didn’t fly away.
Kking!
‘Hey! Krueger! Give me back my core!’
As Fenrir embedded his dragon claws, he moved gradually towards the chest of Krueger like climbing a cliff.
Since Fenrir had such negligible power, Krueger didn’t even realize something was hanging on his body.
Creak.
Though Cuengi’s attack cracked Krueger’s body, no message of enemy defeat appeared.
Moreover, as the red mist seeped into the cracked rock, the fissured parts quickly healed.
While Theo and Cuengi were attacking Krueger
“Ajax, unseal!”
Sejun, who had engraved the Black Dragon Tattoo on his left arm with Kaiser’s scales and charged two <Power: Extra Life> using the green orb of life, shouted.
And
“Full body armor transformation.”
He quickly took out the Dragon Warrior Helmet with the Black Dragon tattoo engraved on it and put it on.
Defense of the Dragon Warrior.
Two Black Dragon tattoos
Three Extra Lives.
<Power: Indestructible Body> couldn’t be used because he had almost depleted his magic power just before, but with this, he was nearly fully armed.
Just as Sejun finished arming himself
“You’re dead now! How dare you hit our Sejun-hyung?!”
As the seal was released, the transformed Ajax emitted a white breath of rage toward Krueger.
Kwuooooh!
Due to slightly recovered power of light, the breath shone a bit brighter than before.
-Huh? Why is there a white young dragon in the Black Tower?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKrueger momentarily wondered as he saw Ajax shooting the breath at him.
It doesn’t matter. I’ll just kill it.
-Destructive Mountain Shattering!
Soon, grinning, he gathered strength from his whole body and thrust his fist towards Ajax’s breath.
Kwaang!
A massive explosion occurred as the two forces collided.
At that moment,
Keehee. Kking!
‘Heehee. My core!’
Pop.
Having eagerly crawled to Krueger’s chest, Fenrir pulled out his core fragment with his front paws, and it dropped to the ground.
-Huh?! Fenrir-nim’s core?
Suddenly, as the source providing him strength disappeared, Krueger’s power weakened, and the balance of power was disrupted. The breath quickly approached Krueger.
‘It’s over.’
When Sejun sensed Krueger’s impending doom,
“Huh?!”
Sejun spotted something that shouldn’t be in Krueger’s chest.
“Blackie?”
Why are you there?!
“Designate Blackie!”
[The fourth summon target has been set on the Dragon Horn’s Summoning Bracelet.]
Sejun hurriedly set Fenrir as the summoning target on the Dragon Horn’s Summoning Bracelet he wore on his right arm. It was really fortunate that he hadn’t filled all five.
“Summon Blackie!”
[Summoning the designated target.]
Kking?
Kwagwang!
Fortunately, the moment Fenrir was summoned under Sejun’s feet, Ajax’s breath engulfed Krueger.
[Gaurd Ajax Mamebe has slain the 7th Apostle of Destruction, the Mountain Destroying Rock Krueger.]
[You have gained 10 million experience points, which is 50% of the experience points acquired by Gaurd Ajax Mamebe.]
[Ajax Mamebe is your slave.]
[You have gained an additional 2.5 million experience points, which is 25% of the experience points acquired by Ajax Mamebe.]
“Phew. It’s over.”
Sejun was relieved to see the message that the enemy had been defeated.
“Ajax, scout the surroundings, please.”
“Yes! Hyung!”
He gave Ajax, who had been unsealed after a long time, a bit of free time.
And
“Blackie, who told you to be in such a dangerous place when you’re just a sunfish?!”
Sejun began scolding Fenrir as he grabbed him and made eye contact.
Kking! Kking!
‘Hey! Let go! I need to find my core!’
Fenrir barked back, making eye contact with Sejun.
“Huh?! Are you getting angry with me now?!”
Kking! Kking!
‘Let go! I said I need to find my core!’
As Sejun and Fenrir had their non-communicative exchange,
Kueng!
[I need to put a bit more force into it! I should get more special training from the Minotaur Uncle!]
Cuengi said, punching the air. The perfect punch he threw earlier had been learned from the Minotaur King.
Cuengi had recently been learning fighting techniques from the Minotaur King.
“Puhuhut. It ended without spending any money, meow!”
Next to such Cuengi, Theo, who had been contemplating whether he needed to spend Sejun’s money, was happy that the battle ended without the need to do so.
‘Chairman Park hates it when I spend too much money, meow!’
While Theo didn’t understand why he hated spending money since it could be earned quickly, he refrained from doing anything Sejun disliked as much as possible.
Just as Uren, who generates gold by just eating and touching things, couldn’t understand Theo who makes money through effort,
Theo, who naturally finds ways to make money due to his fortune, couldn’t understand why Sejun tried to save money.
“I should find out what Chairman Park likes, meow!”
As Theo was about to look around where Krueger had vanished to see if there was anything to pick up,
Thud.
“Meow? What’s this, meow?”
The lucky golden cat, Theo, picked up a black orb that flew in front of him. It was Fenrir’s core fragment that had flown up due to the explosion and fallen down.
“Puhuhut. This is a fragment of Fenrir’s core, meow!”
Theo put the core fragment in his bundle. It was to hide the energy because Blackie would ask for it as soon as he saw it.
“Chairman Park! I found something good, meow!”
Theo ran towards Sejun with excited steps.
“Blackie, are you going to glare like that again?”
Kking···?
‘Hey. Why are you getting angry…?’
As Sejun’s expression turned sour, Fenrir bowed his head and timidly peeked at Sejun’s face.
Kking…
‘Hey, calm down…’
Fenrir tapped Sejun’s hand with his front paw, asking for reconciliation.
“Next time, don’t go to such dangerous places, okay?”
As Fenrir seemed to reflect on his actions, he was given a final admonition by Sejun, who then put him down on the ground.
Kking! Kking? Kking?
‘My core! Huh? Why can’t I feel it?’
As soon as Sejun put him down, Fenrir hurried to the place where Krueger had vanished,
“Chairman Park, I found something good, meow!”
Theo, running past Fenrir, took out Fenrir’s core fragment from his bundle and handed it to Sejun.
“Vice Chairman Theo, well done. This is a 0.5% Fragment.”
Sejun praised Theo.
“Aileen, please purify this.”
[The tower’s administrator says, leave it to her]
After Sejun handed Fenrir’s core fragment to Aileen,
Kking?! Kking?!
‘Huh?! I just felt the energy here!’
Fenrir, feeling the energy of his core fragment, returned to Sejun and looked around, but couldn’t feel the core’s energy anymore.
Kking…
‘My core fragment…’
Fenrir’s ears drooped sadly, and his tail curled up as he became gloomy.
“Blackie, are you hungry?”
Sejun put such Fenrir in the sling bag and fed him a piece of dried sweet potato.
Then,
Chomp, chomp, chomp.
As the sweetness spread in his mouth, his teeth moved on their own.
Even if sad, the dried sweet potatoes were delicious.
Keehee. Kking!
‘Heehee. I don’t need a core fragment of that level!’
Fenrir decided to just give up on this core fragment.
***
Green Tower, 99th floor.
“Hehehe. That was delicious!”
Sejun’s farming skills are really incredible. I need to work hard too!
Ophelia, having eaten Sejun’s crops and resolved to improve her farming skills, returned to the 99th floor of the tower.
“Huh?! What’s all this?”
Ophelia exclaimed upon seeing the land covered in red and blue. There were two types of plants, one with red leaves and the other with blue leaves.
“Could it be that these are the mugwort I planted?”
Since the only seed Sejun gave her was mugwort, she couldn’t think of anything else.
“But why are there two colors?”
Ophelia, intrigued, cut the blue mugwort with her farming knife.
[You have harvested Vibrant Magical Mugwort.]
[Your job experience have slightly increased.]
[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 7 has slightly increased.]
[You have gained 70 experience points.]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Vibrant Magical Mugwort?”
Ophelia examined the options of the mugwort.
[Vibrant Magical Mugwort]
→ This is mugwort that grew by absorbing the overflowing magic power of the Green Tower.
→ It absorbs all sorts of things from the soil, which greatly changes its properties depending on the soil.
→ When consumed, it replenishes 1% of depleted magic power.
→ The bitterness is reduced, and the sweetness is enhanced.
→ Cultivator: Black Tower’s Tower Farmer Park Sejun
→ Shelf life: 150 days
→ Grade: A
“Interesting.”
Ophelia then harvested the red mugwort.
[You have harvested Vibrant Life Mugwort.]
…
..
.
The Vibrant Life Mugwort had the effect of absorbing vitality and replenishing it.
Because the 99th floor of the Green Tower had more vitality than magic power, it replenished 3% of vitality, higher than the Vibrant Magical Mugwort.
The taste, like the Vibrant Magical Mugwort, had reduced bitterness and enhanced sweetness.
“Hehehe. With this, even Sejun will have to acknowledge me.”
Having checked the options of the mugwort, Ophelia hurriedly harvested it.
She wanted to quickly send the harvested mugwort to Sejun to show that she too could farm well.
As Ophelia was busily harvesting mugwort,
“Huh?! This one is white?”
Ophelia discovered a white mugwort and cut it with her knife.
[You have harvested Medicinal Mugwort.]
…
..
.
“Medicinal Mugwort?”
As Ophelia was about to check the options for the medicinal mugwort,
[You have achieved the accomplishment of creating a new variety in the Green Tower.]
A message appeared.
“Wow! It’s a new variety!”
Ophelia, harvesting a new variety for the second time, cheered. The first new variety failed to cultivate as it didn’t bear fruit.
“Hehehe. I need to cultivate this one well!”
Since an exclusive cultivation right is created for a new variety, Ophelia naturally thought it was hers.
However,
[A slave’s accomplishment is the master’s accomplishment.]
“What?! It took it away from me! Waaah!”
Her cheer quickly turned into crying.
And then,
Thud.
[You have harvested Korean blackberries.]
…
..
.
[Your slave Ophelia Iorg of the Green Tower has harvested the new variety of medicinal mugwort.]
[A slave’s accomplishment is your accomplishment.]
[You have achieved the accomplishment of creating a new variety in the tower.]
…
..
.
[As a job trait, all stats increase by 10.]
“Huh?”
Sejun, who was harvesting Korean blackberries on the 73rd floor farm, achieved the new variety achievement not for the blackberries but for the medicinal mugwort.
“Hehehe. Sweet.”
It was another honey-sweet day for Sejun.
