Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 448

This is Umdori. Can you hear me, Main Body?

This is Umdori. Can you hear me, Main Body?

Broken land stretched out in every direction. It was a place of ruin, as if some great power had smashed everything. The air itself felt heavy and wrong.

*Slink… Slink…*

Alice, the Bewitching Spider, moved slowly. Her eight legs, sharp and black as night, made a soft, slinking sound on the cracked ground. She was an Apostle of Destruction, a creature of immense and terrifying power. Carefully, she spun her web, her many eyes gleaming in the dim light.

Using all eight legs, she skillfully wove the web she had spun.

“Almost done now.”

She carefully took the web she had made and went to the small red hole in the wall. She pressed the web into the hole, sticking it to the edges. Then, slowly, she started to make the hole bigger.

A small crack, the size of a little finger, had randomly appeared in this ruined place.

Usually, such cracks are very unstable, disappearing almost instantly. Most of the time, people pass by without even knowing they existed.

But Alice was lucky enough to find the crack before it closed.

“I can feel the tower’s energy!”

Recognizing the tower’s energy coming from the crack, she hurriedly pushed her web into it before it closed, preventing it from shutting.

And she began to continuously push her web through the crack.

The first task was camouflage.

Using the bewitching camouflage screen made from her web, she wrapped it around the 93rd floor of the Green Tower, preventing the energy of destruction from leaking out.

She made it appear as if there were no problems, deceiving the dragons.

Once the camouflage work on the 93rd floor of the Green Tower was complete, Alice began to expand the crack in earnest, creating a passage through which she could pass with her full power.

The moment she entered the tower through this completed path,

“Everything will end.”

Alice smiled, imagining the tower being contaminated by the energy of destruction and collapsing.

Then,

Tap tap. Tap.

Suddenly, Alice’s web broke, and the passage she was creating gradually shrank.

“What?!”

Alice hurriedly placed her legs on her web, feeling the web shaking and listening to the vibrations to understand what was happening.

There are strange fellows on the other side of the passage, absorbing the power of destruction.

“Damn it! It would have been completed in just one more day!”

Alice looked at the passage, which had become so small that it could only handle half of her power now, and thought, “I have no choice… I’ll just go.”

If the web breaks just 10% more here, the passage will completely collapse.

Thud. Thud.

Alice, having made her decision, entered the passage connected to the 93rd floor of the Green Tower.

Green Tower, 93rd floor.

Kkueng!

Sejun and Theo were riding on the back of the flying Kkuengi, moving towards the direction where the others were.

“Ah. I can see the Devourers!”

Just as Sejun discovered the Devourers of Destruction surrounding the pit of destruction,

Kugugung.

With a massive earth-shattering rumble, the Devourers of Destruction vanished in an instant, and a black mountain, nearly 70 meters high, suddenly rose. At the same time, a blood-red mist spread around the mountain.

“What’s with the sudden mountain?”

Sejun wondered, looking at the mountain.

[Apostle of Destruction, Seat 9, Alice the Bewitching Spider]

He found the name visible on the mountain.

And

[You have achieved the great feat of witnessing the main body of the Apostle of Destruction.]

[As a reward for achieving the great feat, you have acquired >Title: Witness of the Apostle of Destruction>.]

[Due to the effect of >Title: Witness of the Apostle of Destruction>, resistance to the power of destruction slightly increases.]

A message appeared.

“That’s the main body of the Apostle of Destruction?! Not a mountain?!”

Sejun, who naturally thought it was a mountain, was taken aback by the message.

“I had a bad feeling about this. Why is it that my bad premonitions are always right? Ah! What about the others?!”

“Summon Black Rabbit, summon Batbat, summon Blackie.”

[Summoning the designated targets.]

…

…

Sejun hurriedly used the Dragon Scale Summoning Bracelet to summon all his companions in front of him.

Fortunately, all the companions were safe, and Umdori, who was hanging on to Blackie’s fur, was also okay.

Ppyak! Ppyak!

[Uncle! I missed you! I thought I was really going to die this time!]

(Batbat! Sejun-nim, that was really scary!)

Kihit. Kking! Kking!

[Hee hee. You’re all cowards! The great Blackie-nim is never afraid!]

“Of course! There’s no way the great Blackie-nim would be afraid of someone like Alice!”

Umdori, look at Blackie’s legs before you say that.

Shivers.

Blackie’s legs were trembling like a vibrating smartphone.

Of course, it wasn’t that Blackie, the Apostle of Destruction Seat 1, was afraid of Alice, but rather that he was exerting strength throughout his body to withstand Alice’s energy, but Sejun couldn’t know that.

“Let’s go to the 99th floor of the Green Tower and inform Brachio-nim. Brachio-nim, who ate the Black Bean of Transcendence, should be able to handle it.”

Sejun used the Dragon Scale Return Bracelet, set the destination coordinates, and activated the return magic.

But

[The return magic engraved on the Dragon Scale Return Bracelet is activated.]

[Calculating the distance between the current coordinates and the return destination coordinates.]

[The surroundings are blocked off from the external space.]

[Return magic cannot be used.]

Alice had already completely blocked off the 93rd floor of the tower with her web.

“Huh?! We can’t get out of here?! This is a disaster! What should we do? Should we hide?”

Sejun looked around, searching for a place to hide.

However,

“Kee hee. Trying to run away from me, how foolish!”

Thud. Thud.

Alice, who had easily found the group Sejun had summoned from tens of kilometers away, was rapidly approaching.

Hiding or running away didn’t seem like good options.

“I guess you don’t want to talk? Then… Is the only option left to fight? This is really the worst.”

Fighting an enemy that even the dragons find difficult, I can’t bring myself to feel motivated.

But this wasn’t a matter of choice.

It was a realm of results, with only success and failure.

And we have to succeed.

“Go into the subspace warehouse, and Vice President Theo, get the money, and Kkuengi, get the food!”

Sejun had them gather the necessary money and food to maximize their combat power.

“President Park, I understand, meow!”

Kkueng!

[Understood!]

At Sejun’s words, the two hurriedly entered the subspace warehouse to gather money and food.

“Black Bean of Transcendence, Red Bean of Stamina, Yellow Bean of Strength…”

Meanwhile, Sejun took out the Black Bean of Transcendence and the remaining 4 beans from his leather pouch.

“You know how to eat these, right?”

He distributed 5 sets of beans and mugwort juice potions to his companions.

And

[You have planted the seed of the Devourer of Destruction in the land filled with magical power.]

…

..

Suddenly, he began to plant the seeds of the Devourers of Destruction.

[You have been exposed to the intense energy of destruction.]

[For every minute exposed to the intense energy of destruction, your life force decreases by 10%, and all stats are permanently reduced by 10%.]

Because of the energy of destruction emitted by Alice from tens of kilometers away.

If the Devourers of Destruction don’t absorb the energy of destruction, it will become more disadvantageous as time passes.

Just as Sejun planted 10,000 seeds of the Devourers of Destruction,

Thud. Thud.

The distance to Alice narrowed to 1 km.

“Vice President Theo, open your mouth.”

“I understand, meow!”

Theo opened his mouth without any hesitation at Sejun’s call.

Swoosh.

Sejun fed Theo a Churu containing the Black Bean of Transcendence and the remaining 4 beans.

Since Theo never eats anything other than fish and Churu, he had to eat it with Churu like this.

“Puhuhut. Delicious, meow! I’m overflowing with power, meow!”

Thanks to the bean set he ate with the Churu, Theo’s stats increased 16 times for 4 minutes.

“Vice President Theo, move out!”

“Puhuhut. Leave it to me, Vice President Theo, meow! I’ll punish her, meow!”

“Nyanyang! Nyanyang!”

Theo, who had instantly moved above Alice in Nyanbo form, began to unleash attacks towards Alice, starting with the Nyan Nyan Storm Fist.

And

Kkueng!

Gooooo.

Wham! Bzzzt!

Kkuengi also ate a set of beans and attacked Alice with the Thunder Staff.

“You guys!!”

Alice staggered each time she was hit by their attacks. It seemed like the attacks were effective.

Ppyak!

[I’ll turn you into rice cakes!]

Black Rabbit also used the ultimate skill of the Rice Cake Master, pounding rice cakes towards Alice with 11 ancestral Rice Cake Masters.

‘Batbat Storm Fist!’

‘First Bat!’

Batbat attacked Alice’s belly from below, where his brothers couldn’t see him.

While such tremendous attacks were being poured out, Sejun approached Alice.

[You have encountered the Apostle of Destruction.]

[>Title: Hunter of Destruction> is activated.]

[Weakens the abilities of the Apostle of Destruction within 100m by 20%.]

“Nice.”

He used >Title: Hunter of Destruction> to weaken Alice’s abilities.

It didn’t directly help in the battle, but he helped his companions in this way.

Just as Sejun, who had debuffed Alice, was climbing onto Alice’s back, his next destination,

“Puhuhut. It’s here, meow!”

Kkuhehehe.

Ppyak! Ppyak!

(Batbat. It’s here!)

The companions drew Alice’s attention so that Sejun could safely climb onto Alice’s back.

“Arrived.”

Sejun, who had arrived on Alice’s back, began to plant the seeds of the Devourers of Destruction in the gap where the carapace was broken.

[You are a Field Lv. 2 is activated.]

…

..

[You have planted the seed of the Devourer of Destruction in the body of Alice the Bewitching Spider, Apostle of Destruction, Seat 9.]

[Job experience increases slightly dramatically.]

[Proficiency of You are a Field Lv. 2 greatly increases.]

[You have planted the seed in the best environment for the Devourer of Destruction to grow.]

[The Devourer of Destruction absorbs the energy of destruction 3 times faster.]

[The Devourer of Destruction absorbs the life force of Alice the Bewitching Spider, Apostle of Destruction, Seat 9, and grows rapidly.]

Planting the Devourer of Destruction with the You are a Field skill steals the enemy’s life force and reduces the power of destruction that Alice possesses, so it’s a win-win.

Just as Sejun was planting the seeds of the Devourers of Destruction,

[Special Effect: Hatred of Destruction is activated.]

Along with the message, instead of the Devourers of Destruction absorbing the energy of destruction in the air,

Crunch. Crunch.

They began to directly chew on Alice’s body, absorbing the power of destruction.

Thanks to this, Alice’s life force was depleted even faster.

Meanwhile, the companions poured out attacks on Alice for a total of 4 minutes, using 1 set of beans.

However,

“How amusing.”

To Alice, who hadn’t even released one of the four seals yet, Sejun and his companions’ attacks were not threatening at all.

“Seal release.”

“Kuek!”

Sejun felt an immense pressure just from Alice releasing the first seal.

Fortunately, he managed to endure it, but that was it. He couldn’t move an inch as if an enormous gravity was acting upon him.

“Meow! Then Vice President Theo will also release a seal, meow!”

At Alice’s seal release, Theo ate Churu and burned money.

Theo shone so brightly that he was blinding.

Kkue!

[Kkuengi will also release a seal!]

Kkuengi also ate a set of beans, released his state of tranquility, and exploded with compressed power.

And

“First Nyan Strike, meow!”

Kkueng!

[Kkuengi Myriad Step Fist!]

The companions began to attack Alice again.

Then,

Kiki!

Kiki!

The Devourers of Destruction planted on Alice’s back shouted energetically and began to eat Alice’s body, which had become more delicious(?).

When Alice released the seal, the Devourers of Destruction planted on Alice’s body also received the effects of the seal release, and their abilities increased.

“Oh. Completely awesome.”

Thanks to this, the Devourers of Destruction absorbed even more intense energy of destruction.

Burp.

Burp.

They spat out an even more intense energy of creation, and thanks to this, the energy pressing down on Sejun’s body weakened, and Sejun was able to move his body.

[You are a Field Lv. 2 is activated.]

…

..

He began to diligently plant the Devourers of Destruction on Alice’s back again.

Everyone was fighting, but Sejun was farming alone.

While everyone was moving busily,

-This is Umdori. Can you hear me, Main Body?

Umdori spoke to the Main Body through the passage created by Alice.
