The landscape around them was broken and burned, a wasteland stretching as far as the eye could see.
Jormungandr stamped his massive tail, making cracks spiderweb across the burned ground. “Eek! Why are those annoying creatures getting weaker again?” he hissed, his voice like rocks grinding together.
He watched as the number of those strange, shadowy monsters heading towards Dracenia shrank. Jormungandr growled. He had wanted a total win this time. He *needed* it.
But it was going wrong. “This is no good,” Jormungandr said, turning his cold yellow eyes to Leviathan. “Leviathan, you have to go.”
“Me?” Leviathan blinked, surprised. He had just finished shedding his old skin and finally felt rested. “Why me?”
“You’re the youngest, so you have to go. Or should I go?!” Hydra raised his voice at Leviathan’s question. Otherwise, he would have to go himself.
Now that Kraken, who always went first to cause trouble, was gone, someone had to take his place.
And the one to take that place was Leviathan, the lowest in rank among the Apostles of Destruction.
Leviathan sighed to himself. *This is just my luck. Always getting the worst jobs.*
“Of course. I should go!” Leviathan felt Jormungandr and Hydra staring at him. He frowned. Then, he made himself calm and spoke.
“Then, I’ll be off.”
Whoosh.
He opened a portal to Dracenia.
*If I come back early, they’ll make me work again, so I should take my time cleaning up.* Leviathan planned to slowly destroy Dracenia and rest as long as possible.
But an even more twisted serpent life awaited him there.
Dracenia
[The Apostle of Destruction, Leviathan the Tsunami Serpent, has descended upon Dracenia.]
[A quest has been generated.]
[Quest: Drive out the Apostle of Destruction, Leviathan the Tsunami Serpent, from Dracenia.]
[Reward: Reprieve from destruction for Dracenia and 14,124 other worlds]
[Failure: Destruction of Dracenia and 14,124 other worlds]
“Why drive him out? We should catch him.”
Sejun smiled as he read the message. *An Apostle of Destruction? That’s a piece of cake.*
Sejun smiled as he read the message.
Sejun smiled. *Another Apostle of Destruction? Easy.* He was like a hunter who had caught many big animals before. He thought he had caught eight of these ‘Apostles of Destruction’ already. But maybe it was nine? He wasn’t sure about Kkamangi…
“Here you go, everyone.” Sejun gave everyone small bags of beans – special beans that helped them fight.
A great hunter always does his best to catch even the most insignificant prey.
Just as Sejun was handing out five bags of beans to each of his companions,
“Tsunami, swallow the enemy!” Thud!
Leviathan’s attack began as he emerged from the hole and fully descended to the ground.
Unlike Kraken, Leviathan’s body was thin, so he could pass through even small spaces.
Kroooooh!
At Leviathan’s call, a giant tsunami suddenly rose from the ground, roaring. It wasn’t just water. Looking closer, Sejun saw shapes moving within the wave – sharp teeth, clawing hands, eyes that glowed with cold light. The roar of the tsunami was like a thousand angry voices.
“It’s the enemy! Fire!” Kroooooh.
At Evan’s command, the dragons, snapping out of their daze, unleashed blasts of fire at the tsunami.
There were overturned planet-destroying turtles in the path of the tsunami, and if their bodies were flipped over by the tsunami, the situation would worsen.
Their fire was like throwing pebbles at a stone wall. It did almost nothing.
At that moment,
“The dragons are in danger. Heh heh. I have no choice but to step in, the great hybrid Black Dragon Park Sejun!” Sejun said loudly so that the dragons could hear.
Chuck.
Sejun reached into his pocket and took out a smooth, dark ball – the Orb of Fraud. He used its magic, calling out, “Reaper’s Scythe.”
Scratch.
Sejun looked at the tsunami and drew his right hand from left to right, parallel to the horizon,
Scratch.
A giant scythe of death appeared in front of the tsunami and cut it down.
The tsunami instantly died. More precisely, the monsters that made up the tsunami instantly died.
Swish.
The monsters, their breath cut off, lost their form and turned into water, soaking the ground. Unfortunately, there was no experience.
Heh heh heh. Did you see that?
As Sejun looked at the dragons, feeling proud after cutting down the tsunami,
“Nya! I’m not the one hitting him, it’s the ultra-giant President Park who’s hitting him, nya! Ultra-giant President Park uppercut, nya!” Wham!
Theo puffed up his chest and suddenly, a giant, cartoonish version of President Park, the cat, appeared on his paw. It was huge and made of light. Theo summoned the ultra-giant President Park on his forepaw and delivered an uppercut to Leviathan’s head,
Kkueng! Kkueng!
[Silence state released, dayo! Kkueng Thunder, dayo!] Thwack! Bzzzt!
Kkuengi gathered his power, striking Leviathan with his rod that crackled with lightning and electrocuting him. It seemed to be very effective since he was a water-attribute serpent.
(Batdol! Batdol! Batdol!)
Batbat was also helping the two, preventing Leviathan from breaking the seal.
While the brothers were buying time,
Kkihihit. Kking!
[Hee hee. Kkamangi Family, move out~!] Tap tap tap!
Kkamangi ran towards Leviathan with his subordinates.
And
“Leviathan, how could you call yourself a friend?! You’re exploiting me?! You should have let me sleep for at least an hour a day!” Pooo!
On Kkamangi’s back, the angry Mukbupal and his eight clones spewed ink, providing Kkamangi with propulsion. The ink shot out like a rocket, pushing Kkamangi forward with angry speed.
He realized how much he had been exploited by the vampire while playing and talking with his companions here.
Kkamangi quickly approached Leviathan with the propulsion created by the ink booster of rage.
Thud.
He headbutted Leviathan,
Thud.
Leviathan collapsed, unconscious, and the battle ended too easily.
Kkirorong.
Eomrorong.
Kkirurung.
Kkuhehehe. Kkueng.
[Hehehe. Good job, brothers, dayo.] Thud.
Kkuengi safely took care of the Kkamangi Family and put Leviathan’s body in the subspace warehouse.
Kiki!
Kyakyakya!
The Apostles of Devouring and the Apostles of Pioneering were thrilled because they had more to eat, and
“Puhu! Is that you?! I remembered all the faces of the guys who will become my subordinates, nya!” Theo looked at Jormungandr and Hydra, who were beyond the small gap of the closing hole, and smiled.
At that moment,
“What is it?!” Jormungandr, feeling an unpleasant gaze, turned his head and looked at Theo, but the hole had already completely closed.
“Lord Jormungandr, what’s wrong?” Hydra asked Jormungandr, who suddenly turned his head.
“It’s nothing.” Jormungandr answered indifferently and focused on the destruction of other worlds.
“…Nya?” Theo, who had briefly lost consciousness while receiving Jormungandr’s gaze, regained his senses.
And
There was definitely an attraction, nya!
He looked at his forepaw, which had felt an attraction to the object Jormungandr was holding a moment ago.
“Puhu! If I take what I feel an attraction to from that guy, I can fix everything! I can make President Park even stronger, nya!” As Theo, who had finally found out the location of an important puzzle for the system impeachment, smiled mischievously,
“I’m sorry! I didn’t recognize the great hybrid Black Dragon Park Sejun! I’m Dragon Lord Evan Draken!” Evan was bowing deeply. ‘Great Black Dragon Grandfather!’ he said, using a very respectful title.
Having seen Sejun’s subordinates easily subdue the calamities and the Apostle of Destruction, Evan had no choice but to believe that Sejun was the Black Dragon Grandfather.
Is he really the Black Dragon?
To be honest, he was still suspicious, but he couldn’t dare to argue. There was no other way but to believe.
It was a slightly forced greeting, but
“Yes. Nice to meet you.” Sejun accepted the greeting with pleasure.
As Sejun received Evan’s greeting,
[A quest has been generated.]
[Quest: Help the Black Dragon, Brown Dragon, Purple Dragon, and Green Dragon, who have lost the power of their attributes due to the world’s balance being broken, to find their power.]
[Reward: Make dragon bones stronger]
A new quest appeared in front of Sejun.
“The power of attributes? I just need to feed them crops with attributes.”
It was a very easy quest for Sejun. Moreover, the reward was the strengthening of dragon bones.
However,
“I won’t do it.” Sejun refused the quest.
The reason was…
“Make dragon bones stronger, and let the Earth Dragon Toryong live here.”
Because of the Black Earth Dragon Toryong.
Our Toryong, who only eats dirt. He may look different, but since he’s a dragon, he can be friends, right?
Sejun wanted to make a friend for Toryong, who usually lived alone.
Fortunately, the system accepted Sejun’s proposal, and
[Reward: Strengthen Authority: Strong Young Dragon Bones, Black Earth Dragon Park Toryong Stay Permit]
The reward changed.
As the quest reward changed,
“Now. Black Dragon, Brown Dragon, Purple Dragon, and Green Dragon, come forward and line up!” Sejun lined up about 30,000 dragons and started cooking.
They could just eat it raw, but he wanted to enhance the effects of the ingredients and increase their mental strength through cooking.
The menu was cherry tart, braised kidney beans, buttered potato roast, and mugwort rice cake.
While Sejun was cooking,
“Puhu! Any dragon who wants to be reborn as a true dragon, come and get this stamp first, nya!” The sensible Theo diligently stamped the feet of the dragons in line, and
[You have acquired a dragon slave.]
[All stats increase by 1 due to the effect of Title: King of Slaves.]
“Huh?! This is dangerous?!” Sejun tensed up as he read the message.
Usually, the stats increase by 0.01 per employee, but it increased by 1 because they were dragons.
It was a good thing, but it was also a bad thing for Sejun.
If his potential stats filled up like this, his fighting spirit would become stronger, and then he would experience terrible muscle pain.
Please don’t hurt too much!
Sejun prayed for less pain and
“Kkuengi, give me a massage!” He called Kkuengi and got a massage in advance before the muscle pain came.
A little later.
“Puhu! President Park, I got all the stamps, nya! We have a lot of dragon employees now, nya!” Theo stamped 30,000 dragons and returned to Sejun’s lap with a proud walk.
“Yeah. Good job.” Sejun praised Theo in a relaxed voice while cooking.
In the meantime, his muscles were strengthened by the Muscle Strengthening Technique, and even if his fighting spirit became stronger, the muscle pain was not as severe as Sejun had expected.
Moreover, with Kkuengi’s massage, he had no trouble moving.
And in the middle, as the level of the Muscle Strengthening Technique increased, all of Sejun’s potential stats increased by 5,000, and
The stats that had stopped growing rose again, and Sejun’s Strength, Stamina, Agility, and Magic stats all exceeded 20,000.
Great. Complete!
“Black Dragon, cherry tart, Brown Dragon, braised kidney beans…” Sejun had them take the dishes that matched their respective attributes.
But
“This mugwort rice cake is really delicious!”
“The cherry tart is really delicious too!”
[Green Dragon Polly highly praises your food.]
[Your soul is greatly filled by receiving high praise from a high-ranking being.]
[Mental Strength increases by 5.]
[Black Dragon Nao highly praises your food.]
Fighting spirit wasn’t the only problem. Mental strength was rapidly increasing.
Even though they were lower in rank compared to dragons, the dragons were beings who ruled the level 10 worlds.
The effect was no joke.
This is a disaster!
Sejun, who had already experienced that his life could be in danger if his mental strength increased too much, was about to stop the dragons from eating when
Chuck.
“Puhu! Great hybrid President Park, don’t worry about the rotten face, nya! Ultra-giant President Park, absorb the mental strength of the great hybrid President Park, nya!” Press. Press. Press.
Theo massaged Sejun’s face, absorbing Sejun’s excess mental strength.
What does overflowing mental strength have to do with a rotten face?
It seemed that the meaning of rotting was extremely broad for Theo.
“Huh?! I think I can shoot breath!” Kroooooh!
When the Black Dragon, Brown Dragon, Purple Dragon, and Green Dragon, who had lost the power of their attributes, regained their power and were able to shoot breath one by one,
[You have defeated the Apostle of Destruction, Leviathan the Tsunami Serpent, who descended upon Dracenia.]
[You have completed the quest.]
[As a reward for completing the quest, peace comes to Dracenia and 14,124 other worlds.]
A quest completion message appeared in front of Sejun.
And
Clang.
Kkihihit. Kking!
[Hee hee. Butler, accept the new recruit!] The Kkamangi Family opened the subspace warehouse and brought out a green thread snake tied up in Kkomi’s spider web.
