Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 580

Jormungandr was alone in the darkness. It was completely black, and he couldn’t hear or see anything. Then, suddenly, a cold blue light appeared, shining right at him.

“Heh heh heh,” Jormungandr chuckled, trying to sound brave. “Fenrir, is that you?”

Jormungandr spoke, looking directly at the darkness. He hoped he sounded confident, even if a tiny part of him felt a little nervous.

Now that he had become stronger than before, he wasn’t scared like he used to be.

Well, I’m not going to die.

In fact, Jormungandr felt lucky to meet Blackie at this moment.

If he could eat Blackie’s spirit and grow bigger again, he could easily throw up the Earthworm.

This time, I’ll chew you up and swallow you whole!

Just as Jormungandr stuck out his tongue, looking at Blackie…

…!

The number of blue lights in the darkness suddenly increased.

“Grrrr.”

Thud. Thud.

Then, a huge wolf with fur as dark as midnight, but with eyes that glowed icy blue, stepped out of the shadows. It was Blackie.

Thud. Thud.

“Jormungandr, long time no see.”

Following Blackie, Umdori, the giant rock, appeared. He was always quiet, but his strength was unmatched.

“Long time no see, Jormungandr.”

And then came Kkomi, the giant spider, scuttling quickly on her many legs.

Behind them, Blackie’s family appeared one after another, surrounding Jormungandr.

What is this?! Fenrir, aren’t you a noble wolf who hunts gods? You’re supposed to fight alone! Why aren’t you fighting alone?! This isn’t how it’s supposed to be!

Jormungandr was shocked by this unexpected situation.

And then…

“‘Fenrir, is that you?’ Am I your friend?!”

Wham!

Blackie punched him hard in the face! The Blackie Family’s gang beating had begun.

Crash! Bang!

Slap! Slap!

“I couldn’t sleep because of you!”

“You used to call *me* the youngest! Well, look who’s the youngest *now*!”

“How could you try to swallow me?!”

The Viper members attacked with extra force.

“Haa… I surrender! Spare me!”

Jormungandr, now understanding that no one can win against a gang, gave up.

“Grrrr. Good. Then tell me where you hid the treasure.”

Blackie curled his lip and asked Jormungandr.

“Huh?! Treasure?!”

“Our Soogoo saw you hiding shiny things. It would be very bad for you if you said you didn’t know. Grrrr.”

As Blackie growled and threatened Jormungandr, Mukbupal, Besugoo, and Sipdukgoo quietly got ready to attack.

“Ah. If it’s shiny things… I know what you mean! I’ll give it to you!”

Jormungandr understood what Blackie meant. He quickly took out a shiny black object.

[Myriad Poison Stone]

It was a gallstone made of the poisons left over from Jormungandr’s digestion.

It had over ten thousand types of poison, so deadly that even gods or great dragons would be poisoned if they touched it.

In other words, if Sejun touched it, he would die instantly.

“Grrrr. Besugoo, headbutt.”

Blackie glared at Besugoo with angry eyes for bringing information that almost killed Sejun.

“Yes!”

Besugoo immediately headbutted the ground. Besugoo knew arguing would only make things worse.

I’m ruined!

Blackie’s plan to bring a wonderful jewel to Sejun and trade it for roasted sweet potato jerky had failed.

Thwack!

“Ugh!”

Out of anger, he smacked the back of Jormungandr’s head.

Why are you hitting me when I gave it to you when you asked?!

Jormungandr felt wronged…

“Okay. Next question. I heard you were there when the God of Destruction fell. Did you do it?”

Blackie asked another question.

“Me? I was somewhere else at that time?”

“Liar! I saw you! You were next to the God of Destruction when he fell!”

Sipdukgoo shouted loudly at Jormungandr’s answer. He didn’t want to end up headbutting the ground like Besugoo.

“It wasn’t me!”

“It wasn’t you?! How dare you speak informally when you’re the youngest!”

“I’m not….”

Jormungandr tried to speak more respectfully, but…

“Insubordination!”

“The youngest has lost his mind!”

Thwack. Thwack thwack.

Mukbupal and Sipdukgoo, who were looking for an excuse to hit him, took the chance and started hitting Jormungandr.

“Let’s just hit him first!”

Besugoo, who was headbutting the ground, also joined in.

A short while later.

“Sniff sniff. But… it really wasn’t me. I was doing something for the Creator God somewhere else.”

Jormungandr, his once-white body now covered in bruises, said tearfully.

“Grrrr. Is that true?”

“Yes. It’s true. If you ask the Creator God or the Creator God’s first apostle, Emila, they will prove I’m innocent.”

“Hmm….”

It’s not a lie.

Judging from Jormungandr’s reaction, it was true that Jormungandr was not there when Destruction fell.

Then what is it?

There was no way Sipdukgoo would lie to him.

Very suspicious.

Blackie had a strong feeling that there was something they didn’t know.

But what was important right now wasn’t that.

Hee hee. What name will the butler give me?

He was much more curious about the new name Sejun would give Jormungandr.

“Alright, let’s go out.”

Blackie led his subordinates out.

Jormungandr’s stomach.

[You are a Field Lv. 9 is activated.]

[A detoxifying green onion seed has been planted in the body of Jormungandr, the Third Seat of the Apostles of Destruction, the Greed that Swallows the World.]

While waiting for the Blackie Family to wake up, Sejun was planting crops in Jormungandr’s stomach lining. Sejun’s hands felt the soft, slightly damp lining of Jormungandr’s stomach. It was surprisingly warm inside.

As he was planting crops for a while…

[You have prevented the Destruction that invaded the Earthworm.]

[Quest completed.]

[As a reward for completing the quest, peace is brought to the Earthworm and 15,192 other worlds.]

As the quest was completed, rewards appeared.

As a reward, he received all stats +100, Authority: Solid Body, and was formally appointed as a middle manager of the White Tower, but…

Title: One Who Has Long Spied on the Beginning was activated, and Authority: Solid Body was melted away.

Authority: Mighty Strength, Authority: Mighty Stamina…

With 4 authorities.

And…

Authority: Indestructible Solid Body

Even if you receive fatal damage, your body will not break as long as you have magic power and life force remaining.

The body becomes stronger, reducing damage.

All stats potential +1000

All stats +300

Meanwhile, inside Jormungandr, Sejun continued his work, unaware of the chaos that had just happened in Jormungandr’s mind.

Sejun felt a strange warmth spread through him, like sunshine after a long winter. A new power was awakening inside him, different from anything he had felt before. “Oh,” he murmured, a small smile touching his lips. “Nice.”

As Sejun tried to understand this new power, a familiar, happy voice broke through his thoughts.

“Hee hee heet! Kking!”

[Butler! Butler! Great Blackie has done it! I chased away the bad spirit!]

Blackie bounced towards Sejun, his tail wagging excitedly. In his mouth, he carefully held a small snake. The snake was a strange blue color, about as thick as Sejun’s finger and not much longer than his hand.

Yol yol···

It was Jormungandr, who had been beaten so badly in the mental world that the defeat showed in reality, turning his white body blue.

“Good job, Blackie.”

Sejun placed a piece of dried sweet potato in Blackie’s mouth as a reward.

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

“Hee hee heet. Kking!”

[Hee hee! Butler! Give him a name!]

Blackie, enjoying the dried sweet potato, asked Sejun to give Jormungandr a new name.

Finally, the moment had come.

Sejun carefully examined Jormungandr with a determined look, trying to understand his characteristics.

No matter how well he named the previous eleven, it would all be wasted if he messed up the twelfth name.

The crowning touch.

A beautiful ending.

Everything would only feel complete if he named the last one well.

Heh heh. I’ve even prepared eleven countermeasures for today.

Jormungandr makes a ‘yol yol’ sound, is a snake with a blue bruise, and looks like a gaebul (spoon worm)···

As Sejun examined Jormungandr’s characteristics, name ideas began to fill Sejun’s mind.

Ba-dump. Ba-dump.

The Blackie family sparkled their eyes and looked at Sejun with hopeful eyes.

And

Poo-koon! Poo-koon!

Soo-koon! Soo-koon!

Deok-koon! Deok-koon!

Especially the 8th, 9th, and 10th Blackies, who had been waiting for this day, were extremely excited.

Sejun, feeling everyone’s anticipation, started naming.

Blue and resembling a gaebul, so Blue-Gaebul-Soil.

Adding Jormungandr and bruise, Jormung-Bruise-Soil.

Blue bruise, so Blue-Bruise-Gan.

A snake resembling a gaebul, so Gaebul-Snake-Gan.

Nothing good···

There was no name that felt right.

“Yorong?”

For a moment, the snake’s name from a cartoon he watched as a kid came to mind, but…

No! Yorong was kind!

He decided to protect that name. He didn’t know who he was protecting it from, though.

And

“Hmm···”

He fell into thought again.

I need a story!

Sejun remembered the story of Jormungandr that he knew.

‘Ate a friend’

‘Saved his life with 7 dried sweet potatoes.’

‘And has a blue bruise from being beaten.’

‘Resembles a gaebul.’

‘Since he came in last among the apostles of destruction, he will be the youngest forever.’

Good! Something is coming to mind.

“If you become the youngest forever, what will the future be like?”

Black.

Bruises disappear, but resembling a gaebul remains the same.

Then, since it’s a black gaebul…

“Black-Gaebul··· Soil. Black-Gaebul-Soil. Wow.”

The more he said it, the more he liked the name.

Also, Blackie’s symmetry starts with Blackie and ends with Black-Gaebul-Soil.

I named it, and it’s perfect.

“He he he. Isn’t it too perfect?”

As Sejun celebrated the naming,

“Hee hee heet. Kking! Kking!”

[Hee hee. Black-Gaebul-Soil, don’t act rashly in the future! This is the butler’s naming skill!]

“Don’t act rashly! Black-Gaebul-Soil!”

Kkilook!

Sharrarang!

···

..

.

The Blackie family was excited, joking around with the name Black-Gaebul-Soil.

And

[Talent: Naming effect is activated.]

[A special effect is imbued in the name Black-Gaebul-Soil.]

[All stats increase by 101.]

[>Power: Black Flame> is granted.]

A special effect was imbued in the name Black-Gaebul-Soil.

>Power: Black Flame> could create a black flame that would burn the opponent completely and never go out.

Black-Gaebul-Soil, the youngest of the Blackie family, received the name Black-Gaebul-Soil.

Ppoo!

[Youngest! Massage my legs!]

Yol yol!

Bebe!

[Youngest! Bring water!]

Yol yol!

Heep heep!

[Youngest! Aren’t you going to clean here?!]

Yol yol!

There was no time to rest because everyone was ordering the youngest around.

Ah. I was the last one…

Black-Gaebul-Soil regretted joining the Blackie family last.

“We should leave Jormungandr’s body as it is.”

Sejun decided to leave Jormungandr’s body in the >Earthworm>.

It was too big to put in the subspace warehouse.

Also, according to Kaiser, the place where >Earthworm> is now is the edge of destruction.

Taking >Earthworm> out of here would not be good because it would be surrounded by the aura of destruction.

But it’s better to safely convert the aura of destruction into the aura of creation inside Jormungandr’s body.

Like hiding something inside something else?

“He he he.”

Sejun smiled mischievously.

“Nya?! The face of the great Hybrid Chairman Park is not looking good, nya!”

Press. Press.

Theo, worried about Sejun’s tired face, hurriedly began massaging him with his front paws.

······.

This time, Sejun thought he looked a bit tired, so he quietly received Theo’s massage.

A moment later.

“Phew he he. All better, nya! Back to your normal handsome face, nya!”

Vice Chairman Theo has protected Chairman Park’s face, nya!

Theo, who saved Sejun’s face, wiped his forehead with the back of his paw and felt proud.

And

[Black Tower Top Farmer Park Sejun has succeeded in persuading the third apostle of destruction, Jormungandr, the gluttonous one who swallows the world.]

[Black Tower Top Farmer Park Sejun has achieved the task of persuading all 12 apostles of destruction.]

[There are 6 tasks remaining.]

“Phew. That’s a relief.”

Now Earthworm is safe.

Even the God of Creation wiped his forehead and felt relieved.
