Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 526

Theo the black cat sighed, “Meow, so much has happened!” He shook his head, his green eyes wide.

“Squawk! Squawk?!” Queng the crow landed on Sejun’s shoulder, flapping his wings in worry. “Daddy, are you okay?! Are you hurt anywhere?!” Queng cawed loudly, his voice full of concern.

“Squeak?! Squeak! Squeak!” Blackie, the large black rabbit, hopped around Sejun’s feet, his nose twitching. “Butler! Are you alright?! Don’t worry now! The great Blackie will protect you!” Blackie puffed out his chest, looking brave.

Theo, Queng, and the Blackie Family had just come from the subspace warehouse. They rushed to Sejun, who had been alone for an hour. They nuzzled him, checking him over, showering him with affection after being apart.

Squhehehe.

Hee hee hee.

Finding nothing wrong with Sejun’s body, Queng and the Blackie Family nuzzled Sejun, their fur soft against his legs, showering him with affection.

“Hmph. Trying to hurt the great Chairman Park? You’re nothing special, meow!” Theo said, taking out his stamp, ready to mark the ogre’s head.

“But Theo, how did you get out?” Sejun asked, as there should have been about 20 more minutes until the subspace warehouse synchronization was complete. “And who is this hamster?”

“Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!”

“Hello! Great Hybrid Chairman Park! I will serve you with utmost loyalty while I am here!”

Lick. Lick.

Sejun was also wary of the unsettling brown hamster trying to lick his shoes.

“Don’t,” Sejun said, moving his foot away.

Tap tap tap.

The brown hamster quickly chased after Sejun’s shoe, determined not to miss it.

However,

Scritch. Scritch.

The brown hamster wasn’t particularly agile, so no matter how fast it ran, it couldn’t catch Sejun’s shoe.

Still, Sejun couldn’t keep playing this game of tag, so he grabbed the brown hamster by the scruff of its neck.

Then,

“Squeak! Squeak!”

“Please don’t do this! Grant me the honor of licking the Great Hybrid Chairman Park’s shoes!” The brown hamster flailed its short legs, protesting.

Just in case, he checked quickly, and it was male. Phew. That’s a relief. It seemed a bloody storm wouldn’t arise.

Just as Sejun was relieved, Theo began his story with a wistful expression. “Hmph. A lot has happened, meow!”

30 minutes ago, Sejun’s subspace warehouse.

Nyaaang… I miss the Great Hybrid Chairman Park, meow…

Theo was waiting blankly for the subspace warehouse to open.

[The God of Battle, Battler, says he picked it up and tells you to eat it deliciously.]

[The God of Battle, Battler, sends down a brown hamster.]

A brown hamster appeared before Theo, along with Battler’s message.

Sque…ak?! Squeeeeak!!!

[A… A cat?! Eeeek!!!]

The brown hamster, sacrificed as an offering to the gods, was startled by Theo and sensed its impending doom.

A mouse before a cat. All a mouse could do was

Shiver. Shiver.

Tremble in fear of the terrible future that was about to come.

However,

“Haa! Haa! How dare you give me, Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo, a creature of the same species as Iona to eat?! Battler, I won’t let you get away with this, meow!” Theo was furious at the god who sent it, instead of eating it.

“Herr, can you hear me, meow?! I’m telling you to send this thing back, meow!” Instead of the unresponsive Battler, he began to talk to another god about how to return the brown hamster.

A cat talking to a god?! Amazing!

As the brown hamster looked at Theo with awe,

Hee hee hee. Squeak?! Squeak!

[Hee hee. Are you a newbie? Then you should have come to greet the great Blackie!]

Blackie barked at the brown hamster,

Squeak! Squeak!

[I’m sorry! Newbie hamster Galchi greets you!]

Galchi quickly bowed his head in greeting.

Hee hee hee. Squeak?

[Hee hee. Your name is Galchi?]

Squeak! Squeak!

[Yes! My teeth are brown, so I’m Galchi!]

Galchi said, showing his brown teeth.

Hee hee hee. Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

[Hee hee. I really like the newbie’s name! It sounds like the name my butler would give!]

Once Blackie finished establishing the hierarchy with Galchi, he went back to playing.

And then,

“Meow?! Is this synchronizing, meow?!” Theo learned through Herr that Sejun had already arrived in Lesia.

At that moment,

“Meow?! The Great Hybrid Chairman Park is in danger, meow!” Theo’s cat senses tingled. He felt danger for Sejun!

“Herr, synchronize quickly, meow! If you refuse, I’ll impeach you, meow!”

So Theo hurriedly threatened Herr, and thanks to that, the synchronization ended 20 minutes earlier than planned. I should do something for Herr later.

Sejun thought about rewarding Herr, who must have suffered.

“But his name is Galchi?”

Squeak!

[Yes!]

Galchi, held in Sejun’s hand, smiled, showing his neat brown teeth.

“That’s a sensible name.”

Squeak!

[Thank you!]

Galchi felt so happy. The great Sejun liked his name!

Stomp.

Theo, having finished his story, stamped the back of the unconscious ogre’s head.

However,

“Meow?!”

[This being is contaminated with the aura of destruction.]

[You cannot make this being an employee with the Nine Dragons Company contract seal.]

A red aura resisted the seal, preventing it from being stamped.

Stomp. Stomp. Stomp.

“Become a regular employee of Sejun Company, meow!” Theo continued to stamp without giving up, but the stamp still wouldn’t work, and Theo’s face gradually filled with annoyance.

“Vice Chairman Theo, what’s wrong?” Sejun asked Theo.

“Chairman Park, the stamp won’t work, meow!”

“The stamp won’t work?”

“That’s right, meow! It says it’s contaminated with the aura of destruction and can’t be made into an employee, meow!”

“Really? Devourers, come out for a moment.” Sejun summoned the Destruction Devourers from the subspace warehouse, who were absorbing the aura of destruction emanating from Alice’s body.

“Absorb some of the aura,” he had them absorb the aura of destruction from the ogre’s body.

Munch. Munch.

The Devourers diligently absorbed the aura of destruction from the ogre’s body. Then, the red color drained from the ogre’s skin, leaving it pale and sickly white, like old bone.

Calamities are beings made of the aura of destruction. Taking away the aura of destruction from a calamity meant death. Death was the only way to be freed from destruction, unless one had special abilities like the Blackie Family.

“Oh?! Hey, stop!”

Sejun suddenly saw the Ogre was disappearing. He shouted, and the Devourers stopped moving. They froze with their mouths open.

“No. Moving is fine. Just don’t eat the Aura of Destruction.”

“Kiki!”

“Kiki!”

At Sejun’s words, the Devourers nodded and closed their mouths.

“If this happens, my plan…”

Sejun had intended to return the people to the Ogre King Les on the 99th floor of the White Tower. He was stuck. He couldn’t go forward or backward.

If I purify the Aura of Destruction, it will disappear…

Meanwhile, the Ogre’s body was gradually becoming transparent. Once the fading began, the Aura of Destruction was scattering.

Sejun thought for a long time as he watched the Ogre.

Should I just let it disappear?

He was almost going to let the Ogre disappear when…

“Huh?!”

He felt a certain energy within the Ogre’s body. A hot, strong, and powerful black energy.

It was Fighting Spirit.

And

-Help me…

The Ogre’s Fighting Spirit asked Sejun for help through Sejun’s own Fighting Spirit.

-Let me fight…

It wanted to fight Destruction.

-I said I would buy time for our king… Lord Les…

It wanted to keep its promise.

It was a request too desperate to refuse.

“Alright,” Sejun said softly.

Sejun decided to respond to the request. He didn’t know how to help the Ogre.

But he was moved by the Ogre’s desperation, and he had a feeling that his own weak Fighting Spirit would show him the way.

Thump.

Sejun placed his hand on the Ogre’s fading body, and

Bzzzt.

The Ogre’s Fighting Spirit and Sejun’s Fighting Spirit reacted.

And

Swoosh.

…?!

The Fighting Spirit that had escaped from the Ogre’s body settled into Sejun’s body. It wasn’t absorbed into Sejun’s Fighting Spirit.

-Thank you.

The Ogre’s Fighting Spirit existed only as the Ogre’s Fighting Spirit. It was just staying inside him for a while, waiting for a new body.

It said there was a way if he went to Les, the king of the Ogres.

As the Ogre’s Fighting Spirit moved into Sejun’s body,

Crackle.

The Ogre’s body disappeared, and

[You have defeated the Sixth Disaster, Ogre.]

[You have gained 500 billion experience points.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have gained 1 bonus stat.]

[Strength increases by 30.]

[Strength potential increases by 1%.]

[A quest has been generated.]

…

..

.

As the Ogre disappeared, words popped up in front of Sejun. [You have leveled up!] [You have gained…] He blinked. Level 130 already? Then he saw a new message: [A quest has been generated.]

Sejun reached level 130 and received a job quest.

The job quest was to secure 20 new species, but Sejun already had 27 new species, so he completed it easily.

As Sejun eliminated the Ogre,

“Wow! The God of Frogs, who protects us, has defeated all the disasters!”

“Hail the God of Frogs!”

“Hail!”

Geroro and the residents of Frog City, who had been kneeling near Sejun, bowed and worshipped him.

The Frog City residents looked at Sejun with wide, hopeful eyes. Their faces, which had been sad and scared, now shone with a new light. They saw hope in the Frog God again.

However,

“No nya! The great Chairman Park is not the God of Frogs nya!”

Theo poured cold water on them, spoiling the mood.

He had to.

“Chairman Park is even greater than the Frog God nya! The Frog God is MY subordinate, nya! Gae Ron! Come here, nya!”

The God of Frogs was separate. To be exact, he was the God of Jewel Frogs, but since they were both frogs, it would be fine.

-Lord Theo! I heard you call! Gae Ron, the God of Frogs, is here! Look at me, everyone!

Gae Ron, who had been constantly begging Theo to summon him until just now, led his massive bulk out of the water with a dignified voice.

He was showing off in front of the frogs.

And

“Oh! He really is the God of Frogs!”

“Hail Gae Ron, the God of Frogs!”

Gae Ron, huge and green with jewel-like eyes, pushed himself out of the water. His dignified appearance was enough to fill the hearts of the frogs with awe.

Then,

[Your subordinate, Theo Park’s slave, Gae Ron, the God of Jewel Frogs, is being praised by the residents of Lesia.]

[There is currently no guardian deity in Lesia.]

[Would you like to appoint Gae Ron, the God of Jewel Frogs, as the acting guardian deity of Lesia?]

A message appeared in front of Sejun.

“Yes.”

Sejun immediately agreed.

He had been working hard under Theo for a long time, so it was time for Gae Ron to find freedom.

As Sejun appointed Gae Ron as the acting guardian deity of Lesia,

-Hail Sejun! Hail Theo!

Thank you!

Gae Ron shouted with emotion, and

“Hail Sejun! Hail Theo!”

The frog residents also shouted after Gae Ron.

At that moment,

Flash.

Light began to emanate from Galchi’s body.

Everything was ready for her to go back.

Cheep! Cheep!

[Ah! I think it’s time for me to go back now! Goodbye, everyone!]

“Okay. Be careful.”

Cheep! Cheep!

[Yes! If you come to Hamk where I live later, please be sure to find me!]

Galchi waved her two front paws diligently and returned to where she had been.

“Then let’s go catch the other disasters now.”

-Yes! I will serve you!

Gae Ron, who had gained the authority to examine the situation in Lesia in detail as he became the acting guardian deity, carried Sejun and his party and

Hop. Hop.

They left to fight the disaster at the remaining Blue Tower.

And

“We will follow Gae Ron!”

“Yes!”

Geroro took all his troops and followed behind.

The small hamster village of Hamk, Hotori.

Flash.

Squeak?!

[Galchi?!]

Tweet! Tweet!

[Galchi is back!]

The hamsters cheered as Galchi, who had been sacrificed to the God of Battle, Battler, reappeared with light.

Cheep! Cheep!

[Listen up! From now on, I’m going to tell you the story of how I survived meeting the Great Cat who treats the gods badly!]

Galchi began to excitedly tell her adventure story to the hamsters.
