Farming In The Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 525

“Heh heh heh. This place looks like somewhere I can stir things up.”

The sky was a bruised reddish-grey, and the earth and rivers were lifeless.

“Haa… It’s over now.”

“No matter what we do, we’re going to die.”

All around him, the people of Resia sighed, anticipating their end.

They could see the terrible disasters approaching their city, but no one tried to fight.

They had fought for a long time against the first disaster, the Locusts, and the second, the Giant Bloodsucking Leeches.

Recently, they had used the crops given by the Great Blue Dragon to win great victories against these two disasters, which gave them hope for peace.

The disasters had retreated, and their numbers had greatly decreased. The people of Resia were almost celebrating.

It seemed that peace would come with just a little more effort. Just a little…

However, their hopes were shattered a few days ago by the sudden attack of five disasters, from the Locusts to the Slime.

The five disasters attacked together. Fire Moths burned the Cabbage Blades, which usually stopped Locusts. Stone Golems turned the fragrant Grapes, the weakness of the Giant Leeches, into stone. Sejun’s crops, their defenses, were useless.

The disasters crashed over the city like a monstrous tidal wave, swallowing everything in their path, and quickly seized 80 Blue Towers, leaving only 5 in Resia.

The people had fallen from the summit they thought they had almost reached.

Hope had been ripped away so suddenly. The residents felt numb, the shock leaving them unable to move or even speak. They just waited, empty inside.

“Take up your weapons! Are you just going to die like this?! Get up!”

Of course, some had strong spirits, like King Geroro of Frog City.

However, the residents were like candles with only a wick left, with nothing left to burn. They needed the fuel of new hope.

But Geroro could not give them that hope. It was already too much for him to keep his own flame from being extinguished.

So Geroro’s cry was empty.

Flap…

Soon, the sound of the Locusts, the fastest of the disasters, flapping their wings, began to be heard faintly and then clearly.

“In the end, I’m alone.”

It didn’t matter.

A king is always lonely. He had always been lonely since he became king.

Geroro stood alone at the entrance of Frog City to face the enemy.

Clang.

Geroro drew his sword as he watched the Locusts darken the sky.

Unlike Geroro’s heart, which was burning its last flame, the sword’s edge was chillingly cold.

[You have arrived in .]

“Camouflage.”

Although no one was stronger than Sejun, like a sunfish who valued safety the most, Sejun first hid himself.

Then he looked around.

What? What’s going on here?

It was the first time he had seen a city so devoid of life.

The city’s residents, the frogs, were breathing and alive, but their eyes were all dead.

At that moment,

Croak! Croak!

Whirr! Whirr!

The Mushroom Ants and Poison Bees, who had moved with Sejun, were flustered and desperately looking for Sejun when they couldn’t see him.

“Guys, I’m here.”

Sejun hurriedly released his camouflage and revealed himself.

Croak!

Whirr!

The Mushroom Ants and Poison Bees surrounded Sejun with joy.

“Yes. You were very surprised, right?”

Sejun calmed them down and opened his subspace warehouse.

But

[The Black Tower Farmer Park Sejun’s subspace warehouse is being synchronized with .]

[1 hour remaining until synchronization.]

An unexpected problem occurred: synchronization. Because Sejun arrived in a new area, his subspace warehouse needed to sync with the local environment.

“Synchronization?”

How am I supposed to survive alone for an hour without the kids?!

Sejun was flustered.

At that moment,

Boom!

An explosion was heard nearby.

“What?!”

Sejun hurriedly and carefully approached the source of the sound, and

“Die!”

He saw a frog, slightly larger than the other frogs, wielding a sword while surrounded by a tremendous number of Locusts.

Sejun watched the frog fight. He was strong, yes, brave even. But not strong enough. Not like Sejun.

“Heh heh. Not as strong as me, though.”

He was much weaker than Sejun.

The sunfish who was ignored on the 99th floor of the Black Tower was hardly threatened anywhere else.

“Heh heh heh. This place looks like somewhere I can stir things up.”

“Guys, it’s dangerous, so stay back.”

Realizing that he could make a difference here, Sejun pushed the Mushroom Ants and Poison Bees, who had followed him, back and

Clutch.

Sejun picked up a sword lying on the ground and

Whoosh.

Lightly swung it towards the sky where the Locusts were flying.

Then,

Whoosh!

The sword wind, making a loud noise compared to its power, attacked the Locusts.

It was a clumsy attack with only strength, but

[You have defeated the first calamity, Locust.]

It was enough to tear the Locusts apart.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Sejun swung the sword in wide arcs, each swing slicing through the air and tearing apart the buzzing locusts like paper.

Crack.

There were times when the sword broke in the middle, but there were many swords lying around, so he picked up a sword each time and caught the Locusts again.

Meanwhile, the Giant Bloodsucking Leeches, Fire Moths, and Stone Golems followed the Locusts and began to block Sejun’s sword wind attack, but

Wham!

Sejun threw the sword like a dart with all his might and killed the calamities.

[You have defeated the second calamity, Giant Bloodsucking Leech.]

[You have defeated the third calamity, Fire Moth.]

[You have defeated the fourth calamity, Stone Golem.]

Every time he threw the sword, the calamities in the direction the sword was heading died.

Croak!

Whirr!

The sensible Mushroom Ants and Poison Bees picked up the swords around them and brought them to Sejun as if they had made a promise with Sejun, so Sejun could throw the swords without stopping,

Wham!

The number of calamities quickly decreased.

At that moment,

Ooze. Ooze.

The fifth calamity, Slime, slowly but surely approached the place where Sejun was.

The Slime approached, eating all the corpses of the calamities that Sejun had killed.

“Don’t touch my meat! Make Dark Clouds!”

I haven’t even tasted the Fire Moth and Stone Golem yet!

Sejun, enraged by the Slime stealing his meat, made dark clouds in the sky and

“Throw Thunder!”

Wham!

When he zapped the Slimes with lightning, the delicious smell of pork began to spread around.

“Who is it?”

Geroro, who had stopped fighting, looked at Sejun with eyes full of awe.

The strength to kill thousands of calamities with a single gesture.

And even sacred lightning.

Is he a god?

As Geroro recalled the gods of the frogs who had disappeared long ago,

Kroooooh!

Thud. Thud.

Evil energy poured out from afar as the sixth calamity, Ogre, who had not shown himself until now because he was commanding, began to run towards Frog City.

God, please save us.

Geroro looked at Sejun and prayed.

But

“Camouflage.”

Sejun hurriedly hid himself. A sunfish needs to know when to strike and retreat.

Battle Merchant Headquarters.

“Battler, what’s that book? Are you raising a cat?”

Beb asked as she entered the house with Thunder.

“Something like that. Don’t ask,”

Battler answered quietly, composing his rising emotions. He couldn’t tell her that he had become a slave.

“Is that so?”

How prickly.

As she was about to change the subject to Battler’s answer,

[Black Tower Farmer Park Sejun is facing an insurmountable enemy, the sixth calamity, Ogre.]

A message appeared in front of Beb.

“Hahaha. As expected of our Park Sejun! He’s a brave warrior!”

I knew it!

Beb laughed heartily.

“This is not the time for this! I’ll give you the Achievement of Valor! And if you fight 1-on-1 and win, I’ll give you 5 Achievements of Valor!”

Beb hurriedly made a suggestion to Sejun, but

“Huh?! Blocked?! Why?!”

As expected, he was blocked again this time.

And

“Park Sejun? Are you talking about the farmer from the Black Tower?”

When a familiar name came up, Battler asked Beb.

“Hahaha. Yes. Battler, you were already keeping an eye on our Park Sejun. Well, Park Sejun is a great and brave warrior, so you, the God of Battle, must be coveting…”

“What are you talking about?! Why would I covet such a weak farmer?!”

“Weak?! No… that’s right. But still, our Park Sejun is a brave warrior who fought even the Apostle of Destruction!”

“Hmph. Keep an eye on the cat next to him rather than that guy. Theo Park is a really amazing guy.”

When Beb said Theo was great,

“What are you talking about?! Kkuengi Park next to Park Sejun is the best?! That guy is a born warrior!”

Thunder began to passionately talk about Kkuengi, the material for a warrior he had picked out.

“What are you talking about?! Park Sejun is the bravest!”

“Theo Park is a really scary guy!”

“No one can catch up to Kkuengi’s talent!”

Somehow, the three of them were fighting over who was the greater warrior among Sejun, Theo, and Kkuengi.

But it was a meaningless conversation.

Sejun, Theo, and Kkuengi had no intention of becoming warriors at all.

The meaningless conversation continued for a long time,

“You guys, go back now.”

Battler kicked out Beb and Thunder.

He had important work to do from now on.

“Okay. Now it’s practice.”

Battler, who had finally mastered [1000 Ways to Perfectly Capture a Cat’s Heart], entered the practical stage.

“First, I need to get close with food, right?”

Cat food is…

“Of course, it’s a live mouse.”

Battler sent a live mouse to Theo. And it happened to be a hamster.

“I shouldn’t act friendly right after giving food… Uhaaaam. Should I sleep a little?”

Battler, who hadn’t slept because he was mastering the book, yawned and fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.

And

“Ugh! Save me! I was wrong!”

Battler had a nightmare that day.

“Squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-”

“Puhuhut. Battler! Stop right there, meow!”

It was a dream where a giant Theo was chasing him with a pure white hamster making strange noises on its tail.

[The God of Valor, Beb, proposes to give you 5 Achievements of Valor if you fight 1-on-1 with the sixth calamity, Ogre.]

‘How can I fight him 1-on-1?! Block!’

Sejun blocked Beb as he faced the Ogre, who was sending a terrifying gaze in front of him.

Sniff sniff.

The Ogre was sniffing diligently near Sejun, who was using the Camouflage skill. Because he felt a familiar energy.

Kkomi’s tough spider web camouflage suit perfectly prevented Sejun’s energy from leaking out,

but the Ogre, who was very sensitive to fighting spirit, reacted to the speck of fighting spirit that Sejun had.

‘Please go!’

Thanks to this, Sejun was having a hard time, unable to breathe properly.

Fortunately, the Mushroom Ants and Poison Bees, who were hiding under Sejun’s instructions, and the residents of Frog City were safe because the Ogre’s full attention was focused on Sejun.

Sniff sniff.

While the Ogre was diligently smelling Sejun,

First, I can hold out once with the Master of Dodging.

Sejun prepared for battle.

Plan A.

Take out the Orb of Deception and use the Death Harvest skill to kill the Ogre.

What if the first attack fails?

Plan B.

Eat the Black Bean Set.

The incoming attack is unconditionally dodged 99% of the time with the talent: Master of Dodging.

Then, summon the Divine Earth Blade with the increased power and use .

‘Okay. Perfect.’

As Sejun, who had planned in his head, was about to attack the Ogre,

Clang.

“Chairman Park, I missed you, meow!”

Theo, flying towards Sejun, opened the subspace warehouse.

“Meow?!”

Krooo?

While flying, he made eye contact with the Ogre next to Sejun,

“Don’t scare Chairman Park, meow!”

Thwack!

He hurriedly stepped on the air, changed direction, and hit the back of the Ogre’s head, knocking him unconscious.

And

Chewy! Chewy! Chewy!

[As expected, the unrivaled second-in-command of Sejun Company! The great Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo! You are very excellent!]

Clap! Clap! Clap!

At the entrance of the subspace warehouse, a brown hamster he had never seen before was praising Theo, who had saved him, and clapping enthusiastically.
