Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 449

The Outskirts of Extinction.

“Is Fenrir alright?”

Kuruger was worried about Fenrir and looked towards the Black Tower.

Umdoli was a part of Kuruger. Umdoli had met Blackie, but Kuruger himself did not know what Umdoli had learned yet.

“They really are sending a lot.”

The other Apostles of Extinction were sending many fragments into the Black Tower to try and take Fenrir’s core fragment.

“Isn’t that a bit too many, though?”

They’re going to get caught at this rate, Kuruger thought, watching the fragments approach the Black Tower.

To enter the Black Tower, the fragments needed the Bewitching Veil made by Alice, the Bewitching Spider, which hid their power. But the veil wasn’t big enough, and the ten thousand fragments were squeezed together inside it.

“No, it might be better if they get caught.”

How dare they try to steal Fenrir’s core fragment!

Even though they were on the same side, Kuruger was cursing them instead of helping.

Just then,

“Huh?!”

Did they really get caught?

Suddenly, a small black dragon came out of the Black Tower and…

Kroooooh.

A blast of black fire shot from the small dragon’s mouth. It was much stronger than you’d expect from something so small. The flames roared towards the mass of fragments, wiping them out in one go.

“Ah, that’s refreshing.”

That kid knows how to breathe fire.

Kruger felt relieved, watching the fragments scream as the black fire washed over them. They twisted and turned, then turned to ash and disappeared.

-This is Umdoli. Can you hear me, main body?

A voice echoed in Kuruger’s mind.

“Who’s Umdoli, and why are they calling me ‘main body’?”

-Ah, wait a moment.

Umdoli quickly sent his memories to Kuruger.

Kruger now understood Umdoli’s memories. He now knew he was also called Umdoli.

“…I’m Umdoli… How utterly unpleasant.”

Kruger frowned upon hearing his new name.

Moreover,

“To give the noble wolf Fenrir, who hunts gods, such a silly name as Blackie…”

Park Sejun, I truly dislike him…

It was the first time in his life that a name had made him so angry.

“Understood. Then, I shall separate my soul and send it to the 99th floor of the Black Tower.”

Splitting one’s soul is very dangerous, as you might lose parts of it. But, this was the fastest way to reach Blackie, so Kuruger chose this method.

-Main body, there’s no need for that. You can come comfortably through the passage Alice created.

“The passage Alice created?”

-That’s right. And Blackie is in danger because of Alice, so it would be good if you came quickly.

“The great Blackie is in danger?! Understood! I shall go quickly!”

Umdoli quickly looked for the passage created by Alice.

“Here it is.”

Following the signals from his fragment and the strange energy, he quickly found it.

“Great Blackie, wait just a moment! The loyal Umdoli will be there soon!”

Umdoli jumped into the passage to the 93rd floor of the Green Tower.

Green Tower, 93rd floor.

Kkirorong.

“How can you be sleeping in this situation?”

How can anyone sleep here?

Sejun was surprised and looked at Blackie and then,

“Ah. Blackie, you fainted?”

He’s so silly!

Smiling, he put Blackie into his subspace warehouse.

However,

“Nya! Kkuengi, it’s Tekkubak Drill Storm, nya!”

Kkueng!

[Understood!]

Ppyak!

[Rice Cake Hammer 108 Combo!]

Wham!

[You are in danger!]

Sejun was doing something strange. Around him, Theo and Kkuengi were fighting fiercely. But Sejun was calmly planting seeds on Alice’s back. Alice was the Bewitching Spider and a powerful enemy. Sejun’s calm actions were very unusual.

Sejun was planting ten Extinction Devourer seeds every second.

He was digging, planting, covering, and watering all in 0.1 seconds.

It was incredibly fast.

It was all because he ate the Transcendental Black Bean, which made him 16 times stronger.

Sejun was planting the seeds with a relaxed mind, unlike the others.

“Not bad. I should try a little harder too. Seal release.”

Alice released the second stage of her seal.

“Kraaah!”

Suddenly, the air became heavy. Sejun felt like a giant weight was pressing down on him. It was Alice’s power, crushing him.

In fact, if it weren’t for >Authority: Strong Bones of a Young Dragon>, all the bones in his body would have already shattered.

However,

[The Strong Bones of a Young Dragon are cracking.]

It was impossible to keep enduring Alice’s aura.

“President Park, hang in there, nya!”

President Park is hurt, nya!

Theo wanted to rush to Sejun, but he couldn’t.

Because if he didn’t attack Alice, Sejun would be in even greater danger.

“Nya!”

I’ll defeat this guy quickly and return to President Park, nya!

Theo held up his money pouch and…

Whoosh.

Started burning money again.

I’ll burn even more money, nya!

Fwoosh.

Theo began to burn more money than his body could handle.

Fwoosh.

Golden light exploded from Theo. It was so bright it hurt to look at. It felt hot, like standing too close to a fire.

And then,

Kkweeng!

[Dad is in danger!]

Kkuengi saw Dad fall. Rage and fear filled him, pushing him to use all his power.

Bzzzt!

[The power of a strong thunderbolt flows into the Lightning Rod.]

[The Lightning Rod is fully charged.]

Sparks of gold electricity crackled around Kkuengi. His fur stood on end, and the air smelled like ozone, sharp and electric.

The thought of saving Sejun made Theo and Kkuengi desperate, and they broke through their limits.

And then,

“Nya! You hurt President Park, nya! I’ll punish you, nya! Theo Vice President’s Secret Technique: Golden Paw Strike, nya!”

He placed his golden glowing paw on Alice’s stomach and…

Press.

As he transferred the power of his entire body, he lightly pressed down.

Thwoom.

The pink jelly on Theo’s paw created a repulsive force, passing through Alice’s hard shell and delivering a powerful force inside.

Boom.

A powerful force exploded inside Alice’s body, strong enough to lift her body slightly into the air.

“Krrk! You!”

As the enraged Alice tried to attack Theo,

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[Now it’s Kkuengi’s turn! Kkuengi’s Secret Technique: Lightning Kkueng Barrage!]

Wham! Wham!

Kkuengi moved quickly, striking Alice’s entire body with the Lightning Rod.

Wham!

Bzzzzzt.

A bolt of lightning, brighter than the sun, CRACKED through the air and slammed into the ground where Kkueng-yi’s Lightning Rod had struck. Alice shrieked, a sound like tearing metal, as the raw power hit her. Smoke curled from her thick spider legs, and the air filled with the sharp smell of ozone.

“KRAAAH!” Alice roared, her voice shaking the very ground. “You fools! You’ll break the seals!”

Alice, eyes blazing with fury, raised her claws to smash the last two seals holding her power. But just as she moved…

CLANG!

“Hee hee hee! Squeak! I did it!” Kkamangi cried, bursting out of the small wooden door he’d somehow created in mid-air. He landed with a soft *thud* on the ground.

At that moment, Alice’s legs buckled, and she crashed to the earth, unconscious. The heavy, oppressive feeling that had been weighing down the air vanished as her power disappeared.

While everyone else fought Alice, Kkamangi went inside her mind. He fought Alice’s spirit there and sealed it.

“Hee hee hee! Squeak?! Squeak?”

“[Hee hee! Shadow, did you see that?! The great Kkamangi-nim’s performance?]”

“Of course! As expected of the great Kkamangi-nim!”

“Hee hee hee! Squeak! Squeak!”

“[Hee hee! That’s right! The great Kkamangi-nim solved it!]”

“You are amazing!”

Kkamangi, puffed up with pride, enjoyed the praise from Eomdol-yi.

“Squeak?”

“[But why is he like that?]”

He asked, looking at the fainted Sejun.

“It seems his body was damaged by exposure to Alice’s energy.”

“Squeak?! Squeak!”

“[What?! Alice made him like this?! Alice!]”

Kkamangi, enraged by Eomdol-yi’s words, called out to Alice.

“Chirp!”

Scuttle scuttle.

A tiny spider, the size of a thumbnail, scurried over, moving its short eight legs diligently. It was Alice, sealed by Kkamangi, who had lost her power and shrunk.

“Squeak! Squeak!”

“[Alice, it’s your fault he fainted!]”

“Chirp…”

Just as Kkamangi was scolding Alice,

“Umm…”

Sejun, awakened by the commotion, thought, ‘Did I faint?’

I thought I had become quite strong lately, but I still have a long way to go…

Gulp. Gulp.

Sejun made a bitter expression and drank the mugwort potion.

Thanks to that, his vitality was restored, but his lowered self-esteem was not easily recovered.

At that moment,

“President Park, are you alright, meow?!”

“Dad, are you okay?!”

“Uncle, are you okay?!”

(Baet baet. Sejun-nim!)

The group, having confirmed that Alice was completely stopped, rushed to Sejun.

And

Press. Press. Press. Press.

The group massaged Sejun’s body.

“Hehehe. That’s refreshing.”

Sejun felt good with the four’s massage.

However,

“Puhuhu. President Park is healthy, meow! I’m glad, meow! But your face is rotten, meow!”

Press. Press.

Seeing Theo smiling unpleasantly and focusing only on massaging his face made him feel slightly unpleasant.

“But is this okay?”

[Apostle of Destruction 9th Seat, Alice the Bewitching Spider, who has lost her soul]

Lost her soul?

Sejun said, looking at Alice’s huge body without a soul.

“Puhuhu. Vice President Theo has examined it, and it’s safe, meow!”

Theo shouted with a triumphant expression at Sejun’s words.

“Then let’s quickly deal with it and go back.”

Sejun thought he could quickly deal with it since she was unconscious, but

“Meow! That’s difficult, meow! Alice is too tough, meow!”

Even without a soul, the opponent was an Apostle of Destruction. There was no one here who could kill Alice.

“Then, Brachio-nim…”

At first, Sejun tried to summon Brachio to deal with Alice.

However,

“No!”

He quickly changed his mind.

Let’s plant the Doom Predator on Alice’s body!

There was no better place to raise the Doom Predator while leveling up the ‘You Are a Field’ skill than here.

Through this battle, Sejun confirmed that the more Doom Predators there were, the easier the battle with Destruction became.

Doom Predators were beings that dealt damage to the Apostles of Destruction just by breathing without doing anything.

“Hehehe.”

Next time, I’ll win with only Doom Predators!

Sejun smiled slyly as he looked at Alice’s body.

“Puhuhu.”

Theo smiled, following Sejun.

[You Are a Field Lv. 4 is activated.]

“Huh?! When did it become level 4?”

Sejun realized that the ‘You Are a Field’ skill, which was level 2, had become level 4 without him knowing. He was too distracted earlier to even notice the skill had leveled up.

“Oh! Now the damage is doubled.”

With level 4, an option was added that the damage dealt when crops grow and when crops are harvested is doubled.

As Sejun, having checked the options, was planting the seeds of the Doom Predator back into Alice’s body,

“Puhuhu. Become a slave, meow!”

A giant slave, meow!

Press.

Theo, imagining the fun of riding the enslaved Alice, stamped the slave seal of the five towers on Alice’s body.

However,

[The slave seal of the five towers has been stamped on the body of Alice the Bewitching Spider, the 9th Seat Apostle of Destruction who has lost her soul.]

[The slave seal of the five towers forcibly puts the 9th Seat Apostle of Destruction, Alice the Bewitching Spider, who has lost her soul, in debt for 50 billion Tower Coins.]

[The 9th Seat Apostle of Destruction, Alice the Bewitching Spider, who has lost her soul, has repaid 50 billion Tower Coins.]

“Meow?!”

Alice repaid the money easily.

“Become a slave of Vice President Theo, meow!”

Press.

Theo stamped the seal again, but this time too, Alice repaid the money.

“Nyaaah!!! I’m getting angry, meow!”

Press. Press. Press.

Theo, enraged, became agitated and continued to stamp the seal on Alice’s body.

Alice became Theo’s ATM.

[The 9th Seat Apostle of Destruction, Alice the Bewitching Spider, who has lost her soul, has repaid 50 billion Tower Coins.]

Theo didn’t know, but the more money Alice repaid, the fainter the red energy she emitted became.

Theo unintentionally purified the red energy.

At that moment,

Rumble.

Eomdol-yi appeared from the passage where Alice had appeared.

“Alice, come on! I am the Destruction…”

“Squeak!”

“[Hey! Quickly abandon your body and come here!]”

Eomdol-yi was stopped by Kkamangi as he was about to reveal his identity.

“Yes!”

At Kkamangi’s instruction, the main body, Eomdol-yi, hurriedly put only his soul into the fragment next to Kkamangi.

[Apostle of Destruction 7th Seat, Kurugeo the Rock that Breaks Mountains, who has lost his soul]

Thanks to that, the field for Sejun to practice his skills increased.
