Hee hee! The great Mr. Blackie will finish this battle!
Battle Shop Headquarters.
“Sigh.”
It’s so frustrating because I want to talk but I can’t.
Bev, the God of Valor, sighed in frustration. He had learned from experience that talking to Sejun would only get him blocked.
“Believe-Tu-Bak!!!”
“Believe-Tu-Bak!!!”
The non-combat gods chanted from beyond the wall.
They were chanting the strange phrase ‘Believe-Tu-Bak’ again. This was a phrase of encouragement they had invented for battles.
Bev felt a moment of irritation, but then thought, ‘It must be frustrating for them to chant quietly. I should be patient.’
Bev tried to be understanding, but then,
“Hey! Can’t you be quiet?! Kkuengi, you blockhead! Answer me!”
Thunder, the God of Storms, had been blocked for the fifth time by Kkuengi. He took his anger out on the non-combat gods as he walked by.
“Believe-Tu-Bak…”
“Believe-Tu-Bak…”
The voices of the non-combat gods shrank in fear.
“Thunder, getting angry won’t undo the block. I’ll tell you a way to avoid being blocked, just for you,” Bev scolded Thunder, even though he himself had taken his anger out on the non-combat gods.
“Mr. Bev! Is there really such a thing?!” Thunder asked urgently, intrigued by Bev’s words.
“Indeed. But I’m thirsty.”
“Mr. Bev, let’s go to the pub and have a cold beer! I’ll pay!”
“Ahem. Should we?”
And so, the two went to the pub.
“Ah, that’s refreshing. It’s simple. If you don’t talk to him, you won’t get blocked,” Bev said after taking a gulp of beer from a huge ice glass.
“What?! Then wouldn’t it be too frustrating?!”
“Thunder, you foolish warrior. A warrior must also know how to endure. If you wait, your time will come.”
“So, has your time come, Mr. Bev?” Thunder asked, looking at Bev with distrust.
“Ahem. Still waiting…” Bev answered, embarrassed.
Just then, a message appeared before Bev:
[Black Tower’s Farmer Park Sejun is facing an insurmountable enemy.]
“Huh?!”
Bev quickly checked Sejun’s enemy and was shocked.
‘Park Sejun, you rascal!!! Are you fighting Dilia, the 8th Apostle of Destruction, the Demon of Corruption?!’
Bev, trying to hide his embarrassment at being blocked, convinced himself that Sejun had planned this all along. ‘Park Sejun, you had it all planned! You blocked me on purpose to surprise me. What a thoughtful fellow!’
Bev, lost in his own delusions, wore a pleased expression.
“Haha! Park Sejun! I believed in you! You are indeed very brave! Park Sejun, I acknowledge your valor!” He officially acknowledged Sejun’s valor.
“See? If you wait like this, your time will come. Can I have another drink?” Bev boasted to Thunder and ordered another beer.
Meanwhile, far away in the Golden Tower…
35th floor of the Golden Tower.
Sssssss.
Sejun’s golden energy of creation, meant to protect them, flared weakly against Dilia’s dark power. It was like a thin gold leaf, barely a centimeter thick, quickly being swallowed by a spreading black stain. Dilia’s corrupting energy pulsed outwards, a wave of darkness that seemed to eat light itself.
“Kkyut. O power of dimension, O power of magic! By my command, block everything! Dimension Shield!” Iona sealed Dilia with a Dimension Shield to buy time.
However,
“Kkyut?!”
Crack!
It was not enough to withstand Dilia’s formidable power. Cracks were forming in the Dimension Shield.
“Chairman Park is in danger, Meow! Chairman Park will be protected by his loyal right-hand man, Vice Chairman Te, Meow!” Theo hurriedly stood in front of Sejun, holding a money bag in his left paw and preparing to use his energy drain and energy absorption skills with his right paw.
Kkueng!
[Kkuengi, Dad’s left arm, will also protect Dad!]
Thud!
Kkuengi released the stillness of >Authority: Before the Storm> and ascended into the sky, charging the Lightning Rod with as much lightning as possible, preparing to attack the power of destruction heading towards Sejun.
While the two were preparing to protect Sejun, not actually seeing Sejun, the person they were supposed to be protecting,
[You have been acknowledged for valor 3 times by Bev, the God of Valor.]
[You can now use the Heart of Valor.]
[Information about Skill: Valiant Shout (Master) has been unlocked.]
[The Heart of Valor is absorbed into your heart.]
The Heart of Valor in Sejun’s chest turned red and was forcibly absorbed.
Clang.
The Dimension Shield shattered, and Dilia’s energy swallowed the energy of creation like a wave.
“It’s coming, Meow!”
Kkueng!
It encroached upon Sejun and his party.
“Nyaaang!!! This is bad, Meow! The energy is too great, Meow!”
“Kkueng!!! This is bad, Meow! Dad is going to die!”
Dilia, having released the 4th stage seal, was stronger than expected.
However,
“Hehe. Don’t worry, guys.” Sejun’s calm voice came from behind.
>Authority: Valiant One>
The valiant one does not succumb to the enemy’s energy.
Resistance increases as the gap with the enemy widens (up to 1000%).
>Authority: Valiant One> was activated, increasing Sejun’s resistance to the maximum of 1000%.
Thanks to this, Theo alone could protect Sejun.
“Guys, attack!” Sejun used Skill: Valiant Shout and ordered his party to attack.
[Skill: Valiant Shout] is a buff skill that increases the abilities of allies by up to 100% by shouting.
However,
[You use Skill: Valiant Shout.]
[The shout is not valiant.]
[The abilities of allies increase by 10% for 2 minutes.]
The effect was reduced because it wasn’t a valiant shout.
I didn’t know it judged the shout to give a buff.
Sejun decided to use it again in 10 minutes.
“Meteor Shower!” Iona dropped dozens of meteorites.
Kkueng!
[New skill Kkuengi Thunder!]
Kkuengi, using the power of lightning charged in the Lightning Rod, dropped 1000 bolts of lightning, attacking Dilia’s main body from a distance, while
[You are a field Lv. 6 is activated.]
[You have planted a Devouring Seed in the body of Kuruger, the Rock Crusher, the 7th Apostle of Destruction.]
Sejun went into the subspace warehouse and diligently planted Devouring Seeds, special seeds that eat away at bad energy. Since he couldn’t approach because of the corrupting energy that Dilia was spreading, he planned to surround the area and chew away at the power of destruction with the Devouring Seed and remove the corrupting energy with the energy of creation.
After 5 hours, after using Valiant Shout every 10 minutes, a sound came from Kkuengi’s stomach.
Should we eat first?
-Hehehe. Rot, all of you!
Strangely, Dilia was just spreading corrupting energy and threatening them from the same spot, so she wasn’t threatening at all.
It should be fine.
“Guys, let’s eat and then continue!”
The air around Sejun crackled with blue energy, the power of creation battling against something dark. But Sejun ignored the magical clash. His stomach rumbled. He was hungry. With practiced ease, Sejun began preparing a simple meal of grilled mushrooms and roasted roots.
Meanwhile, trapped within a cage of shimmering blue flames, Dilia, a powerful demon known as the Demon of Corruption and the 8th Seat of the Apostles of Destruction, raged. “How did everything go so wrong?” she thought bitterly, her eyes narrowed with fury.
That fool Magin thought destroying this stone would kill the land on the 35th floor of the Golden Tower. But the Navel of the Earth, the magical point connecting all towers, was connected to the land of all the towers.
So, Dilia planned to destroy Patrick, the God of Earth, and corrupt the land of all the towers.
She sent fragments of the god here one by one, eventually succeeding in bringing the entire main body.
Everything was proceeding smoothly until…
Sejun and his companions appeared, and her plan fell apart.
Dilia’s magic shield that stopped lightning was destroyed by the sudden attacks of Theo, Kkuenge, and Iona. She hastily combined the fragments and returned to her original form.
Because of that, she had to endure the lightning falling from the sky.
Moreover, Patrick suddenly attacked her with flames that burned the power of destruction, turning the situation into a battle with attacks from all directions and by different kinds of magic.
“These wicked bastards!”
It’s all your fault!
Dilia was furious as she watched Sejun and his companions calmly eating meals in front of her for days.
However,
“Curse you! May you wither and decay!”
She could only rage because she couldn’t move due to Patrick’s flames.
Slurp. Sejun took a loud slurp of his morning coffee as a dessert after breakfast.
“Curse you! May you wither and decay!”
“It’s already been 10 days since we started fighting Dilia,” he said, listening to Dilia’s screams as she was surrounded by the blue aura of creation.
Before they knew it, the distance between them and Dilia had narrowed from 5km to 1km.
They ate when they were hungry, fought, then slept when they were sleepy, woke up and fought again, repeating this cycle. Before they knew it, ten days had passed.
It was understandable that Dilia called them wicked bastards since she couldn’t eat or sleep while they were eating and sleeping and only attacking from afar.
Just then,
[The Great Dragon, afflicted with the Curse of Oblivion, has drunk the Golden Samyangju and the curse has been lifted.]
[Quest completed.]
[You have acquired 3 drops of the Elixir of Growth as a quest completion reward.]
A message appeared before Sejun.
“Hehe. Aileen is selling them well.”
Contrary to Sejun’s worries, Samyangju was selling very well after she sold a glass of Golden Samyangju for 50 billion Tower Coins.
This was already the 5th quest completion message.
Sejun checked the message.
“But I’ve collected a lot of Elixirs of Growth,” Sejun said, looking at the glass bottle filled with hundreds of drops of the Elixir of Growth.
Thanks to recently planting a large number of Devouring Destroyers, he received 5 drops of the Elixir of Growth as a quest completion reward every time he planted 1 million seeds.
“Let’s finish this, everyone!”
Sejun shouted, using the skill Courageous Shout.
[Skill: Courageous Shout used.]
[Sejun’s shout wasn’t very strong.]
[The abilities of your companions increase by 80% for 2 minutes.]
The skill activated.
Sejun realized through many attempts that the standard for Courageous Shout was a high decibel level.
However,
Sejun tried to shout louder, but his voice wouldn’t go higher. The skill was only 80% effective.
As Sejun’s shout spread,
“Good meow!”
Theo, who answered energetically, continued to absorb the remaining energy from Sejun’s lap as usual, emitting energy.
Kkuenge!
“Kkyut!”
Kkuenge and Iona diligently attacked Dilia.
The companions who couldn’t attack from a distance picked up the lightning-struck trees and lightning stones that had fallen around them.
Hee hee hee! Kking!
[Hee hee. Everyone, cheer up! Quickly make Dilia my subordinate number 3!]
Kkamangi, excited at the thought of making Dilia her subordinate, also diligently commanded the Devouring Destroyers. Of course, it was just talk.
Headbutting was impossible due to the dark, evil energy that Dilia emitted.
While each of them was doing their job,
[Sejun focused his mind on the field skill, feeling his connection to the plants grow stronger.]
Sejun also entered the subspace warehouse and diligently planted Devouring Destroyer seeds.
Thanks to diligently using the skill, the level of the You are a Field skill increased.
At that moment,
[The number of Calamity Watcher Devouring Destroyers has reached 100 million.]
[Quest completed.]
[You have acquired a new species of Devouring Pioneer seed as a quest completion reward.]
[Quest content has been updated.]
[Quest: Plant 100 Devouring Pioneer seeds.]
Reward: 1 drop of Elixir of Growth for every 100 Devouring Pioneer seeds planted.
Along with the quest completion message, the content of the existing quest to plant 1 million Devouring Destroyer seeds was updated.
[Devouring Pioneer Seed]
Tower Farmer Sejun’s magic cherry tomato, affected by magical energy…
Hates the power of destruction more than the Devouring Destroyer.
They can’t eat the destruction power directly. Instead, they help grow more Devouring Destroyers by planting their seeds.
Capable of some combat.
Devouring Pioneer seeds cannot be eaten.
“Oh.”
They directly plant Devouring Destroyer seeds?
Sejun immediately planted the seed out of curiosity.
[Sejun focused his mind on the field skill, feeling his connection to the plants grow stronger.]
[You have planted a Devouring Pioneer seed in the body of Kruger, a powerful demon called ‘The Rock that Destroys Mountains’.]
Then,
Crack!
Kya kya!
The Devouring Pioneer grew quickly, making a different sound from the Devouring Destroyer. Their size was about 1.2 times larger than the Devouring Destroyers.
Kya kya!
They spat out seeds!
The Devouring Pioneers wandered around the Devouring Destroyers, collecting seeds.
Plop.
They began to pick up Devouring Destroyer seeds with their branches and plant them in the ground.
5 days later.
Kya kya!
Around Sejun, who was planting Devouring Destroyer seeds, 50 Devouring Pioneers were diligently planting Devouring Destroyer seeds.
“Hehe. I feel secure.”
Sejun was smiling contentedly, watching those Devouring Pioneers.
Hee hee hee! Kking!
[Hee hee. The time has finally come for the Great Kkamangi to step up! Charge!]
“The Great Kkamangi commands us to charge!”
Kkiluk!
Kiki!
Kiki!
When they were within headbutting distance of Dilia, Kkamangi rode the Devouring Destroyer and charged.
Hee hee hee! Kking!
[Hee hee. The Great Kkamangi will end this battle!]
Kkamangi, leaving a little bit of evil energy, flew towards Dilia.
Plop.
Headbutting Dilia,
She was defeated along with her subordinates.
