Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 510

The underground of the Black Tower’s 94th floor.

Flash!

With a burst of bright light, Iona appeared.

“Kyukk? Where is here?”

Iona looked around, surprised.

She found herself in a cavernous space, the air thick with the metallic scent of wealth. Everywhere she looked, treasures were scattered like fallen leaves in autumn. Gold coins glittered, spilling from overturned chests. Silver goblets gleamed amongst piles of jewels – rubies like drops of blood, emeralds like frozen green fire, and diamonds that sparkled like captured stars.

“Kyu-kyu-kyu—you’ve stolen a mountain of things!”

Iona was furious at the sight of so much treasure.

She thought she only had to deal with Deb, but there were so many other stolen goods.

It looks like it will take longer than I thought to finish this.

“Kyu-kyu-kyu—but why are these here?”

Iona looked at the stones and trees around the gold and silver treasures, puzzled.

Trees and stones that were of no monetary value were scattered around the valuables.

Iona frowned. Something was not right. The treasures weren’t gathered in one place but scattered in several spots, and the cut surfaces of the stones and trees were clean, as if the space had been carved out whole.

Looking closely, the color of the soil was different, and the heights varied.

“Kyu-kyu-kyu—what is this?”

Just as Iona sensed something was wrong—

-Iona, you need to get out of here right now!

Nightmare, the Demon King of Nightmares, said in a terrified voice.

“Kyukk? Why? Do you know something about this place?”

-You’ll be swallowed if you stay here!

“Kyukk? Swallowed?”

As Iona tilted her head, not understanding Nightmare’s words—

“Kyukk?!”

Suddenly, a shadow appeared over Iona’s head, and a massive landmass began to fall.

“Power of gravity, heed my call and reverse the laws of nature! Reverse Gravity.”

Iona quickly used reverse gravity magic to stop the land from falling.

“Fly.”

Floating.

As she ascended above the floating land—

“Kyu-kyu-kyu—this time it’s a lake.”

There was a lake on the floating land. Someone had teleported the entire lake.

Just then—

-Iona! You need to get out of here quickly! This is the mouth of Mobius!

Nightmare, realizing what was happening from the falling land, shouted again.

“Kyukk?! Mobius?!”

-Yes! The Silent Invader, White Whale Mobius! Let’s get out of here first!

“Okay.”

Iona thought Nightmare’s worries were excessive, but she figured there must be a reason.

Kyuk kyuk kyuk. Then I should go see Theo for a moment.

Smiling at the thought of seeing Theo, Iona tried to use teleportation magic to go to him when—

Krooooh.

With a strange sound, the end of the space Iona was in opened up, and the land began to be swallowed into Mobius’s throat.

The throat sucked everything in. Even magic.

“Kyu-kyu-kyu-kyu—magic isn’t working!”

Iona was flustered when the magic that had been as natural as breathing wouldn’t work.

Suddenly, the connection with the five magic streams was severed, and the magic within her body was forcibly sucked in by the throat’s strong suction the moment it was released.

“Kyukk!”

Iona had no choice but to run hard in the opposite direction of the throat, trying to avoid being swallowed.

But the space to escape was limited, and—

Kyung… If I had known this would happen, I should have met Theo first…

Iona regretted not meeting Theo before coming here and could only helplessly await death at the edge of the land.

Just as Iona was about to be swallowed by Mobius’s throat—

Bang!

“Nya!”

With an explosion, Theo appeared, bursting through Mobius’s mouth.

“Kyukk?! Theo?!”

“Fuhuhut. That’s right, nya! It’s me, nya!”

Theo quickly snatched Iona, who was about to be swallowed, and stepped into the air, trying to escape through the hole he had made, but—

Nya?! It’s gone, nya!

The hole Theo had made had disappeared in no time. The skin regenerated in that short gap, closing the hole.

Meanwhile, Mobius’s throat began to suck in Theo’s magic as well.

Theo had a special skill called Nyan Nyan Bo. It was like magic teleportation, and he needed to use it to get back to Sejun.

“Nyan Nyan Bo!”

Whoosh!

Theo safely escaped from Mobius’s mouth with Iona.

[The Silent Invader, White Whale Mobius]

“Huh?! Why is a whale here?”

Whales live in the ocean, don’t they?

Sejun, who had followed Theo underground, was surprised to discover a white whale, over 100m in size, floating in a huge underground lake.

Ggueng?!

[Daddy, what’s a whale?]

“Uh…”

How do I explain this?

“A really big fish?”

Ggueng?! Ggueng?!

[Then can we eat it?! Big brother would love it if we grilled that!]

“Can we eat it, I wonder?”

Theo would be happy if I grilled that for him.

Sejun imagined Theo rejoicing at the sight of a super-giant grilled fish when—

Kking?!

[That guy?!]

Kkamangi, who had been dozing off in Sejun’s warmth, woke up and discovered Mobius, sensing a fragment of his core.

Mobius was very dangerous. He was one of five creatures Kkamangi could not defeat. Instead, Kkamangi had sealed him away. Mobius’s power was to ‘invade’ – he could teleport pieces of land into his mouth.

Once his mouth was full of land, he swallowed it.

And he digested the land and everything on it to grow and regenerate. Even souls.

He had eaten so much that he kept coming back to life no matter how many times he was killed, and eventually, Kkamangi swallowed Mobius whole as a last resort.

Kkamangi had swallowed Mobius whole long ago, and it had given him terrible indigestion for years!

Thinking back to that time, Kkamangi felt his stomach getting bloated.

Kkihihit. Kking!

[Heehee. Of course, it’s different now!]

We’re the Kkamangi Family!

No matter how infinitely Mobius regenerated his soul, he wouldn’t be able to withstand a gang fight from the eight Apostles of Destruction.

Kking!

[Everyone, wake up!]

As Kkamangi woke up his subordinates for revenge—

Whoosh.

“Fuhuhut. Chairman Park, I’m back, nya!”

Theo, who had rescued Iona, clung to Sejun’s knee.

Kkyurorong.

Carrying the exhausted and sleeping Iona. Even in her sleep, Iona was holding onto Theo’s tail tightly.

“Chairman Park, take care of Iona, nya!”

Theo entrusted Iona to Sejun.

“Okay. But what are you going to do?”

“I’m going to punish him for tormenting Iona, nya!”

Theo flew back towards Mobius to avenge Iona.

Just then—

-I can feel it! The energy of that ignorant wolf cub who swallowed me!

Mobius, who had been still, began to move, sensing Kkamangi’s energy through the blowhole on his back.

Kking?!

[How dare you call the great Kkamangi ignorant?!]

Kkamangi barked furiously at Mobius.

Swoooosh.

Meanwhile, a blue energy resembling water waves spread from Mobius’s body, and—

Ggueng?!

Everyone except Gguengi, who was covered in a faint dark red energy, was enveloped in Mobius’s blue energy and fainted.

“Um… Where is here?”

Sejun, who had regained consciousness, looked around.

“Great Hybrid Chairman Park, are you okay, nya?!”

Theo, clinging to Sejun’s knee, asked.

“Yeah. I think I’m okay. But where is this? Suddenly, everything went dark…”

As Sejun looked around—

“Kyuk kyuk kyuk. Sejun, are you okay?”

A pure white hamster, about 15m in size, spoke to Sejun.

“Huh?!”

The only white hamster I know who makes the sound ‘kyuk kyuk kyuk’ is Iona?

“Are you perhaps Iona?”

Sejun cautiously asked the giant hamster.

“Kyuk kyuk kyuk. Yes!”

Iona replied with a bright smile.

“Tsk. Is this your first time in a mental world? Why are you so surprised?”

A woman standing next to Iona, about 5m taller than her, clicked her tongue, looking at Sejun with a pathetic gaze.

This is a mental world?

Thanks to that, Sejun could understand why Iona was bigger than him.

But who is she to act like she knows me?

A woman with white skin, red hair, and horns on both sides of her head.

It was a being he had never seen before.

“Um… who are you?”

Sejun asked, looking at the woman.

“It’s me. Nightmare, who you tried to destroy!”

Nightmare, who had a lot pent up against Sejun, replied in a prickly voice.

Perhaps because there were many reliable beings around, she wasn’t as frightened as before.

“Ah. So you have a form in the mental world.”

But why is she speaking informally? She used to be so polite, calling me ‘Human-nim, Human-nim’…

Just as Sejun was about to argue with Nightmare, feeling displeased—

“Kyu-kyu-Nightmare, what kind of manners are those towards Sejun?!”

Iona got angry at Nightmare one beat faster than Sejun.

“That’s right, nya! Nightmare has no manners, nya! Super-giant Chairman Park! Punish her, nya!”

Theo also got angry.

And—

Thud.

With Theo’s cry, the giant pillar behind Sejun moved.

Grasp.

Suddenly, the sky darkened, and a giant hand appeared, grabbing Nightmare.

“Aaaargh! I was wrong!”

Nightmare was lifted up and shaken vigorously.

‘What is this?’

Park Sejun is clearly right there?

Nightmare was confused by the fact that there were two Sejuns.

“Huh?!”

That’s me?!

Sejun was just as surprised.

“Fuhuhut. Great Hybrid Chairman Park, that’s the super-giant Chairman Park who protects my mental world, nya!”

Theo proudly boasted about the super-giant Chairman Park, who was over 100m tall, to Sejun.

“Ah…”

It was strange that only Theo was small… so he was raising something like that in his mental world.

While Sejun was struggling to understand the bizarre mental world—

Thud. Thud.

“Grrrr. Master, this isn’t the time! Get on quickly!”

A giant wolf lowered its body, kneeling in front of Sejun.

“…Kkamangi?”

“Yes! Of course, it’s me! Can’t you recognize the great Kkamangi?!”

Kkamangi got angry, feeling upset by Sejun’s cautious attitude.

“No. Of course, I recognize you. It’s just that Kkamangi has gotten too big.”

Sejun said as he got on Kkamangi’s head with Theo, Iona, and Nightmare.

“Kheuheut. How is it?! My magnificent figure? This is my original form, you know.”

While Kkamangi, thinking Sejun had praised him, raised his body and boasted—

“Where is that wolf cub?!”

Thud! Thud!

A giant whale with arms and legs charged towards them with an angry voice.

“Grrrr! Master, hold on tight! Everyone, let’s show them the power of the Kkamangi Family!”

“Yes!”

Kkamangi and the seven Apostles of Destruction ran towards Mobius.

Thud! Thud!

The super-giant Chairman Park followed behind them.

Just then—

Boom! Boom!

For some reason, the size of the running super-giant Chairman Park was gradually increasing.

The reason was—

“Nyan nyan nyan.”

Because of Theo, who was hugging Sejun’s knee.

Theo was gaining infinite energy through the real Sejun’s knee, and the super-giant Chairman Park was gaining power from Theo’s energy.

The super-giant Chairman Park was evolving once again.

Into the super-super-giant Chairman Park.

A little later.

“Where’s the fairness in fighting 9 against 1?! You cheating wolf!”

“What?! Can’t you even count?! There are eight of us! And how dare you call the great Kkamangi a cheating wolf?! Bring more of your own if you’re so upset!”

Bang!

The fist of the enlarged super-super-giant Chairman Park slammed down on Mobius’s head, who was being ganged up on by the Kkamangi Family, and—

[You have achieved the great feat of creation by annihilating the immortal being, Silent Invader White Whale Mobius.]

[As a reward for the great feat of creation, you have acquired the >Title: The Human and Cat Who Annihilated Immortality>.]

[Due to the effect of >Title: The Human and Cat Who Annihilated Immortality>, you become stronger when fighting immortal beings together.]

Sejun and Theo shared the last hit amicably.

“Fuhuhut. Chairman Park, let’s grab those, nya!”

Theo pointed to the two orbs that had appeared in the place where Mobius had disappeared.

A blue orb and a black orb.

[Silent Invader White Whale Mobius’s Authority Stone: Absolute Sense of Smell]

[Silent Invader White Whale Mobius’s Authority Stone: Invasion]

It was the Authority Stone containing the power that represented Mobius.

Chuck.

While Sejun was collecting the Authority Stone, the mental world was rapidly shrinking.

Soon, Sejun’s vision went dark again.

And—

…Aaaargh!

“Um?”

Sejun regained consciousness in the real world.

Ggweng?! Ggweng?!

[Daddy and Gguengi! Big brother! Sister! Little brothers! What happened?! Make them wake up quickly!]

Wham! Wham!

He discovered the super-giant Gguengi grabbing Mobius’s tail and swinging it wildly.
