Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 682

Suddenly, a voice said, “Sejun, you’re handsome.”

*Wham!* Then, Iona’s magic hit Hiren, pushing her back hard.

“Hiek!” cried Hiren.

Hiren thought, struggling against the magic. *I used to be able to fight Iona. But this Iona, the one who eats Sejun’s peanuts all the time, is too strong. Even for a hero like me.*

*Wham!* Another blast of magic hit Hiren. She fought against it, but she was getting weaker and weaker.

“My babies…” she whispered sadly, and then she fainted.

Suddenly, a creepy voice whispered in Hiren’s mind. “-Heh heh heh. Finally, a good person to use after so long. I can’t let her die yet.”

Something dark and shadowy moved in Hiren’s shadow. It was Corruption, an evil force. It slowly crawled out of her shadow.

Corruption’s voice continued, “-Hiren… remember your treasures. And look at that hamster! Doesn’t it look like your lost children? Don’t give up! You must get back to your children!”

Corruption was using Hiren’s sadness about her lost children and her desire for treasures to control her.

Iona looked like a hamster to herself. But Corruption was twisting Hiren’s mind.

Hiren looked at Iona and, because of Corruption’s magic, she saw her own child instead. It was all a trick by Corruption.

“It’s Corruption!” Iona realized suddenly.

“Kyu-kyu-Power of dimension…” She quickly started to cast a spell to trap Corruption, because she knew she couldn’t destroy it completely.

But Hiren was faster.

With a loud, desperate cry, “My baby! Giant of the Abyss, I call you! Come and help me!” she used all her power, even her own life, for one last attack.

*Whoosh!* A magic circle appeared under Hiren’s feet. It grew bigger and bigger, spreading out quickly.

“Kyu-Power of magic…” Iona stopped her spell to trap Corruption and tried to stop Hiren instead. But it was too late.

The magic circle reached the edge of the small world Iona had made around them, and it was finished.

*Rumble!* As the circle finished, purple smoke rushed out. It twisted and turned, becoming a giant made of purple mist.

“-Summoner,” the giant boomed. “What do you want me to do?”

Hiren whispered weakly, “Giant of the Abyss… stop my baby…”

“-Understood,” the giant replied.

The Giant of the Abyss listened to Hiren. It swung a huge fist to hit Iona.

“Dimension Wall!” Iona shouted.

*Wham!* She blocked the attack with magic, but *Crack!* The small world Iona had made started to break from the force of the hit. It was already weak from Iona’s earlier magic.

The Giant attacked again right away.

“Kyu-kyu-Power of gravity… Black Hole!” Iona made a black hole in front of her. It sucked in the power of the giant’s attack.

“White Hole!” Then, Iona sent all that power back at the Giant.

*Bang!* The Giant of the Abyss fell down, hit hard on the back of its head.

But *Clang!* The small world was too weak to handle the fight. It broke into pieces.

*Wham!* The power from the fight now hit the real world around them, causing damage.

“Kyu-Power of gravity… Deca Mini Black Hole!” Iona was worried Sejun might get hurt.

She quickly made ten small black holes to catch the power from the breaking world.

“White Hole!” Then, she sent all that power back down towards Hiren.

*Wham!* This time, the power came from above, hitting Hiren directly.

“Kyu-That was close,” Iona sighed, feeling relieved.

But then, a creepy laugh echoed, “-Heh heh heh. Not bad.”

Through the dust and smoke, Corruption appeared, moving Hiren’s body like a puppet. She was almost completely drained of life.

*Creak. Creak.* Hiren’s body moved in a strange, unnatural way, like her bones were breaking.

“Kyu-kyu-kyu…” Iona was furious. Corruption was making fun of Hiren, another magic user, even when she was unconscious.

“Kyu-kyu-Power of magic…” Iona started to prepare another spell, ready to fight Corruption.

“Iona!”

“Iona, are you hurt?”

“Huh?!” Iona looked up, surprised.

“[Sister-in-law Iona, are you okay?!]”

*Squeak!* “[Sister-in-law! Blackie is here to protect you!]” Sejun and his friends had arrived.

“Kyung… Theo,” she said in a small voice, holding out her paw to Theo. Her eyes looked watery.

*Kyut kyut kyut. I need to look weak and hurt,* she thought. She wanted Theo to see her vulnerable side.

On her paw, there was a tiny scratch from blocking the Giant’s attack.

“Haaak! Who hurt you?!” Theo shouted, seeing Iona’s paw.

“Kyut kyut kyut. That giant did it,” Iona said, pointing to the fallen Giant of the Abyss.

“Huh!” Kkuaeng was angry.

“[Sister-in-law, you were in trouble! Kkuaeng will punish them!]” With a roar, Kkuaeng rushed forward and punched the Giant of the Abyss with all his might.

*Wham!* “-I didn’t even get to attack…” the Giant thought sadly, before disappearing.

[Kkuaeng, the amazing herbalist, defeated the Giant of the Abyss!] [You got some experience points from Kkuaeng’s fight: 250 billion!] The Giant of the Abyss, feeling cheated because it didn’t even get to fight back, went back to the abyss, feeling annoyed.

“Kyung…” Iona sighed softly.

“Nyang?!” Theo just tilted his head, confused. Iona was sad that Theo didn’t rush to help her like she wanted.

While Kkuaeng was busy with the Giant, Sejun turned to Corruption, his eyes wide with anger. “How dare you hurt my friends?!” he yelled.

A golden light flashed in Sejun’s eyes. *Heh heh. Corruption is finished now. My stare will destroy it. It’s like a deadly glare,* Sejun thought, feeling strong and ready.

But Corruption just laughed creepily. “-Heh heh heh. Park Sejun. You think you’re strong with that little bit of power? It’s nothing.”

Corruption had become much stronger by using Hiren’s energy. Sejun’s stare had no effect.

*Creak. Creak.* Corruption moved Hiren’s body closer to Sejun, its movements still unnatural and disturbing.

“Uh?! Stay back!” Sejun yelled.

“Haaah!” He tried to make his stare even stronger, pushing himself so hard his eyes hurt.

But *Creak. Creak.* Corruption kept coming closer, not afraid at all.

Just then, someone else shouted, “Haaak! President Park, that thing hurt Iona! I’ll help too!”

*Grab.*

Theo clung to the back of Sejun’s head.

“Meow! Money, burn! Meow!”

*Whoosh!*

Theo pressed his warm front paws against Sejun’s temples, burning the money.

He had planned to stomp on Sejun’s face after burning the money, just for fun, before attacking Tarak.

*Whoosh!*

The light from Theo’s paws went into Sejun’s head, making the special power in Sejun’s eyes even stronger.

“Huh?!”

“Meow?!”

Sejun and Theo were surprised.

*Sssssss.*

-Eh?!

Tarak was also confused as small flames flickered on his body.

He didn’t know how, but he could just feel it.

Hehehe. Theo’s power has strengthened the power I have!

“Puhu! My power has been sent to the great Hybrid Chairman Park! It’s a combined attack by Chairman Park and Vice Chairman Theo! It’s an honor, meow!”

Theo’s power was sent through Sejun’s temples to his eyes, enhancing the special power.

“Hehehe. Vice Chairman Theo, burn more money!”

“Puhu! Great Hybrid Chairman Park, trust me, meow! I’ll burn it all, meow!”

Thus, Sejun and Theo’s combined attack, which happened by accident, struck Tarak.

*Whoosh.*

-Kraaah! How dare you! That I should be defeated by a weak Park Sejun from a level 1 world!

Tarak raged as he burned in the flames.

*Fssssss.*

Turning to ash and vanishing.

“Huhu. Looks like defeating him made me stronger. Now I’m Park Sejun of level 2.”

Sejun made a proud comment towards the direction the ashes were flying.

“Meow?! Chairman Park’s face is dirty, meow!”

Theo moved from the back of Sejun’s head to the front. He stomped hard on Sejun’s face. Theo’s paws did not glow. He had just burned all of Sejun’s money.

It was truly like pouring water into a hole that can’t be filled.

Just when everything seemed fixed, another problem came up.

Kkuenge and Kamang, unlike Theo, did not stomp on Sejun’s face.

They were quiet for once.

Kkuhehehe. Kkuenge will also do a combined attack with Daddy! Where does Kkuenge combine, yo?

Keeheehee. The great Kamang will combine with Sejun to give him strength. Heehee. Heehee.

No. They were only quiet on the outside; their minds were racing busily.

And then,

Kkuhehehe.Kkuenge!

[Heeheehee. Daddy, let’s do a combined attack with Kkuenge too!]

Slap.

Kkuenge piggybacked on Sejun’s back.

Keeheehee.Kking!Kking!

[Heehee. Sejun! The great Kamang will lend you strength! Take my strength!]

Kamang also shouted, sticking his bottom to Sejun’s hand.

On top of that,

Plop.

(Batbat. Sejun, I want to do a combined attack too.)

Even Batbat climbed onto Sejun’s hat.

Kkuenge!Kkuenge!

[Kkuenge is first, yo! Keep the order, yo!]

(Batbat! Even if it’s Kkuenge, I can’t give up on this! I can’t stand not doing a combined attack with Sejun!)

Grrrr.Kking!Kking!

[Grrrr. The great Kamang is angry! Sejun! Make a combined attack with the great Kamang first, always!]

“Puhu! I’ll tell you how this body did a combined attack with the great Chairman Park, meow!”

It seemed like it would be noisy for a while because of the combined attack.

“Kids, calm down. Let’s think about how we can create a wonderful combined attack.”

Only after Sejun promised to create a wonderful combined attack could he be free from the noisy children.

“Puhu! Sejun, then let’s start by creating a name for the combined attack with me, Vice Chairman Theo, meow!”

“Wait a minute. I have something to do before that.”

“Puhu! I understand, meow!”

Sejun, with Theo clinging to his lap, suggesting they decide on a name for the combined attack,

Is she alive?

Brought his finger to the nose of the fallen Hiren.

Her breathing was weak, as if it would stop at any moment, but fortunately, he felt a warm breath on his finger.

“Hoo.”

It’s a relief.

Sejun, relieved, took out a leather pouch from his pocket and opened it.

Inside were green orbs. They were actually green orbs of life containing lots of life power from the Green Tower.

Brought by Brachio, Ophelia, and Theo. Thanks to constantly collecting them, there were about 150.

“Considering she kidnapped our Batbat and called me and Theo ugly, I don’t want to save her, but I promised to be friends.”

Plop.

Sejun remembered the promise he made in the castle and put a green orb of life into Hiren’s mouth.

Before leaving the castle.

“Mister, I won’t take this, so can you please be friends with my mom? My mom is lonely.”

The child who told him Batbat’s location handed Sejun dried sweet potato, asking for a favor.

Gulp.

Swallowing 침.

“I’ll think about it if you call me ‘hyung’ instead of ‘mister’.”

“Hyung.”

“Okay. I’ll be friends with your mom, so you eat that.”

Sejun agreed to the child’s request.

He noticed that the other children were also relieved at Sejun’s answer.

So, he decided to save Hiren. He had to keep his promise and didn’t want to make the children sad.

Swish.

As soon as the green orb of life entered Hiren’s mouth, it turned into smoke and was absorbed into Hiren’s body, but

There was no reaction.

Is one not enough?

One was more than enough for Sejun, but it seemed not enough for Hiren, the hero of the level 9 world.

Ah. What a waste…

With trembling hands, Sejun put another green orb of life into Hiren’s mouth, and another, and another, and another. He kept putting them in until a reaction appeared.

Plop.

As if to comfort Sejun’s heart, Theo stamped Hiren’s hand.

After feeding Hiren 15 green orbs of life,

“Umm.”

Hiren opened her eyes.

“Huh? She’s awake. Are you okay?”

Sejun brought his face close to Hiren and asked,

“Hnyaak! An ugly man! Nya…”

Hiren, seeing Sejun’s face, screamed and fainted again.

Should I kill her again?

Sejun had an angry thought, but

The kids are watching. Hold on, Park Sejun.

The children, who had come out of the prison, were hiding behind the wall and looking this way.

“Okay. Kids, shall we eat something delicious together?”

Sejun called the children and started cooking.

A little later.

When the cooking was finished,

“Kids, the food looks delicious, right? The child who wants to eat this food says, ‘Sejun, you’re handsome’.”

Gulp.

“Sejun, you’re handsome. Can we eat now?”

“Huhu. Of course. Eat a lot.”

“Sejun, you’re handsome!”

“Sejun, you’re handsome!”

Sejun made the cat-like children lie, using delicious food as a reward.
