Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 405

In the Black Tower Administrator Zone.

Aileen was happily watching Se-jun’s contribution points accumulate today.

Munch.

Plus, eating the delicious skewers of sausage and rice cake that Se-jun gave her in between made her feel like she had the whole world.

Just then,

“Aileen, what’s that?”

“Looks delicious?”

A voice came from behind.

“Khaeng?”

Aileen hurriedly turned around, and the six hatchlings were drooling as they looked at the so-tteok-so-tteok next to Aileen.

She must have been too engrossed in the crystal ball to hear them.

She was trying to savor it slowly…

Hiding it now that the hatchlings had seen the so-tteok-so-tteok would be a bad move. Their feelings might get hurt.

“Everyone, our Se-jun made this. Try some.”

So, Aileen gave each of the hatchlings a so-tteok-so-tteok, promoting Se-jun’s new food.

“Oh! Really?!”

“It’s called so-tteok-so-tteok? That’s a funny name.”

“If Se-jun made it, it must be good!”

“I’m excited!”

The excited hatchlings each received a so-tteok-so-tteok from Aileen and began to eat.

And then,

“This is really good! Aileen, I want to buy this!”

“Me too! How much is it?”

The hatchlings who ate the so-tteok-so-tteok all eagerly expressed their desire to buy it.

“10 Tower Coins each.”

Aileen quoted a price that was neither too high nor too low for the dragons.

“10 Tower Coins? Okay! Mom!”

“Dad!”

The hatchlings ran to their parent dragons to ask them to buy the so-tteok-so-tteok. Well, one hatchling remained.

“Sylvia, why aren’t you going?”

Aileen asked Sylvia, who was standing still.

“Aileen, tell Park Se-jun that Sylvia wants to marry him. Sylvia will marry Park Se-jun and eat delicious things forever!”

Sylvia, who was drawing a big picture, looked at Aileen with a smug expression and said,

“Huh?! W-who are you saying you want to marry?!”

Aileen was greatly taken aback by Sylvia’s bombshell declaration and asked again,

“Sylvia’s going to marry Park Se-jun!”

Sylvia answered again, raising her voice.

“Sylvia, would you like to come with me for a moment?”

“Oh! Did Park Se-jun already want to meet? Hee hee. Sylvia’s embarrassed.”

“Just come with me.”

As Aileen dragged Sylvia to a secluded place,

[Theo Park, a subordinate of Park Se-jun, the Black Tower’s Tower Farmer, says Chairman Park is in danger.]

“What?! Why is our Se-jun?!”

Aileen hurriedly ran to the crystal ball and looked for Se-jun,

“Grandpa!”

She hurriedly called Kaiser.

Fenrir the wolf grinned, his eyes fixed on a wooden staff with a dark, shiny bead stuck in the end. “Hehe, I’m finally getting my core!” he thought. He was sure nothing could stop him this time.

Se-jun, sitting nearby, was busy reading messages that floated in front of his eyes. Next to him, Kkueng the squirrel sat with his fluffy tail twitching, carefully counting the shiny Tower Coins he would use for shopping later. Theo, the small black wolf cub, just watched Se-jun with big, adoring eyes, hoping for a pat on the head. Iona, the gentle healer, gazed warmly at Theo. None of them noticed Fenrir creeping towards the staff and the dangerous core fragment.

‘Now,’ Fenrir thought, imagining himself as the mighty Fenrir, the noble wolf who hunts the 1st Seat of the Apostles of Destruction… ‘This is my moment!’

Just as Fenrir was about to snatch the core fragment, only ten centimeters away,

Thwack.

Squeak!

Fenrir tumbled to the floor after hitting something small and fluffy.

Squeak?!

‘What is it?!’

Fenrir hurriedly raised his head.

“Hehe. Can’t do that! This belongs to Chairman Park!”

Theo, the expert at catching thieves, was blocking the staff with his front paws, putting up an ironclad defense.

Squeak!

‘That’s mine!’

Fenrir threatened Theo, growling fiercely in his own way, but

“The youngest one has no manners!”

Rather, Theo raised his front paw to punish Fenrir.

Tap tap.

Squeak!

‘Butler! He’s hitting me!’

Fenrir hurriedly hid behind Se-jun and asked for help.

As Fenrir hid behind Se-jun,

“Blackie, that’s a toy. Let’s play with this.”

Se-jun gave Fenrir one of the purified core fragments.

However,

Squeak!

‘That’s yours! I’m going to have that! Core! Come to me!’

Fenrir refused the purified core fragment that Se-jun was giving him and barked loudly at the core fragment on the staff.

Thud.

As if responding to Fenrir’s cry, the core fragment fell from the end of the staff.

The separated core fragment fell to the floor,

Crack.

It cracked.

Squeak?

‘There’s no way a core can crack?’

As Fenrir wondered,

Whooooosh.

A large amount of red energy gushed out from the cracks in the core fragment and began to create a monstrous, shadowy shape.

And then,

-I am Fenrir, the wolf who hunts the 1st Seat of the Apostles of Destruction. Who called me?

A voice was heard from the huge shape.

Fenrir’s control over the core fragment had weakened a lot because it had been separated from Fenrir for a long time and had even been broken into several pieces.

As a result, within the core, which contained a lot of power, Fenrir’s thoughts began to regard themselves as Fenrir and developed a will.

Squeak? Squeak!

‘What? I’m Fenrir, the wolf who hunts the 1st Seat of the Apostles of Destruction! You’re just my core!’

As Fenrir barked at the core fragment that was impersonating him,

“Th-that’s…”

What?!

Se-jun was suffocated by the immense pressure that was pressing down on him.

“Aileen, something bad happened! Chairman Park is in danger!”

Theo quickly asked Aileen for help when he saw an opponent they couldn’t handle.

Kkueng!

[Everyone, run away!]

In the meantime, Kkueng used telekinesis to take care of the group and quickly distanced themselves from the red energy.

And

Iona shouted words of power, her voice ringing with magic. “By the strength of gravity, crush our enemy! Triple Mega Black Hole!”

A fiery red aura blazed around Iona as she bravely unleashed her most powerful magic. With a shout of power, she opened three terrifying black holes, swirling darkness that seemed to suck in the light itself, giving Sejun and his friends precious moments to escape.

As Sejun and his companions fled from the red aura,

“Kkuaeng-ah, thank you. Now, Master Sejun won’t have to see this, will he?”

Blossom, now feeling safe, started to use her full power.

Creak! Creak!

Giant roots emerged from the ground, widely enveloping the red aura.

This was to prevent Sejun and his party from being harmed in the upcoming battle.

Giant roots, thick as trees, burst from the earth. They twisted and climbed, forming a towering wall of wood and leaves around the red aura.

The red aura tried to annihilate everything around it, but it couldn’t exert its power on Blossom’s roots.

This was thanks to the reward Sejun had received for eradicating the Locus on Earth.

While Blossom blocked the red aura, the coalesced energy took on a complete form.

It was a giant wolf, and it looked just like the legendary Fenrir.

“Awoo!”

As the wolf howled,

Boom!

The roots of Blossom that surrounded it burst from the impact, but

“I absolutely cannot let it out of here!”

Fortunately, behind it were dozens of layers of roots. It was Blossom’s will to protect Sejun.

Creak! Creak!

New roots grew quickly, filling the empty spaces.

At that moment,

“You scoundrel! How dare such destruction set foot here!”

Kaiser descended before the giant wolf Fenrir.

“How dare you? A mere dragon being so rude before me, Fenrir, the wolf who hunts gods!”

“Hmph! You are nothing to me!”

The giant Fenrir got angry at Kaiser’s words.

“Disappear quickly! Our Sejun is getting tired!”

Kroooooh!

Kaiser roared, and a blast of pure energy shot from his mouth towards Fenrir.

Thanks to Blossom, his energy wasn’t leaking out, but Blossom couldn’t hold on forever.

As Kaiser’s breath headed towards the giant Fenrir,

Creak! Creak!

Roots grew rapidly, blocking even the ceiling.

A moment later,

Thud.

The roots swelled and disappeared into dust, and where the giant Fenrir had been, there was now a huge, bowl-shaped hole in the ground.

And then,

“Haha! Sejun, are you alright?! I defeated Fenrir! You are safe now!”

Kaiser moved the black dragon statue and came to find Sejun, who had taken refuge in the cave, with a huge sum of money.

“Here it is.”

“Haha! Thank you.”

Kaiser used the money he got from defeating the giant Fenrir to buy Sejun ten +2 Transcendent Black Beans.

He also made a contract to entrust the next Dragon Council to Sejun, paying an advance of 1.5 trillion Tower Coins.

Hehe. I’m not far from becoming a Dragon Market VVIP.

Kaiser resolved to be the first VVIP this time and returned to the fountain.

After the transaction, Sejun and his party moved back to where the giant Fenrir had been.

Since they couldn’t watch the fight, they thought they would at least see the aftermath.

“Wow.”

Sejun looked at the damage from Kaiser’s breath and was amazed.

“Kking!”

‘My core!’

Fenrir came out of the sling bag and ran towards the pit. He couldn’t believe it. His core had disappeared.

However, even though the slope of the pit was gentle, it was still too much for Fenrir.

“Kking?”

Fenrir, running down the pit, tripped and tumbled to the center of the pit.

Fenrir arrived at the center of the pit.

He felt a sudden pull, and the broken pieces of his core rushed into him.

“Kking?!”

Something began to be absorbed into Fenrir’s body.

The core had been shattered by Kaiser’s breath, and the center point had disappeared, scattering the power, but Fenrir, with his familiar power, had appeared.

‘It’s the power of my core!’

Fenrir, who had almost given up, was overjoyed.

As Fenrir was regaining some of his power and rejoicing,

“Blackie, are you okay?”

Sejun arrived at the center of the pit, following Fenrir.

Then,

[The remnants of Fenrir’s core fragments that were left nearby are being absorbed.]

[The power is being combined with the existing Fenrir’s core fragment.]

[1.0021% of Fenrir’s power is accumulating in your body.]

“Huh?!”

A message appeared in front of Sejun.

“Looks like something was left behind.”

Sejun unknowingly absorbed the power along with Fenrir.

[2.0029% of Fenrir’s power is accumulating in your body.]

The power accumulated faster than in Fenrir. It was because of the Fenrir’s core fragment that Sejun had.

As Sejun absorbed Fenrir’s power,

“Puhu! I found it, meow!”

Theo used his golden paws to find the fragments of the staff buried in the ground.

The staff was broken, but

[Heart of the Snowman]

[Heart of the King Giant Worm]

[Heart of the Albatross]

The jewels embedded in the staff were fortunately intact.

“Let’s go now!”

Sejun stood in the pit until the message stopped appearing and then headed to the waypoint.

And then,

[You have arrived at the 75th floor of the Black Tower.]

He moved to the 75th floor of the tower to find Mason, in order to obtain the Golden Tower land deed. Sejun felt tired after the fight.

However,

“I’m… I’m sorry. I did my best, but…”

All that the wandering merchant association had obtained were the land deeds for the 21st floor of the Brown Tower, the 12th floor of the Blue Tower, and the 1st floor of the Green Tower.

“Give me those for now.”

Sejun knew that as Theo travels through the nine towers using the wandering merchant’s pack, there might be a time when he needs to go himself.

“How much is it?”

“Huh?! It’s alright. Just take them!”

Sejun tried to pay for the land deeds, but Mason vehemently refused.

“Okay. I’ll come again next time.”

Sejun greeted Mason and left the headquarters of the wandering merchant association.

As he left the headquarters and entered the shopping district,

“Kking!”

“[Hey! I’m hungry! Give me food now!]”

Fenrir’s voice was heard in everyone’s minds.

Having recovered some of his power, he was finally able to send his intentions to others.

‘Ah, that’s refreshing.’

Fenrir rejoiced at finally escaping the frustrating situation where he couldn’t communicate.

“Blackie, it’s rude to talk to Chairman Park like that, meow!”

“Kkuaeng!”

“[Blackie, you need to learn some manners from Kkuaengi!]”

Theo and Kkuaengi approached Fenrir with serious looks.
