Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 564

Raknos, the indestructible grey stone lion, existed in his mental world.

Thud. Thud.

“Raknos, long time no see.”

A dark blue wolf appeared.

“Fenrir! I should have known it was you!” Raknos, enraged, began to summon his power.

Rumble!

Massive grey stone walls rose around Raknos.

“Grrrr. From now on, call me the Great Blackie. Are you hiding again?” Blackie scoffed at the sight of the massive stone walls.

“Hmph! You couldn’t break through my Crying Stone Walls before, so what makes you so confident now?!”

He hadn’t been able to destroy these stone walls in the past, simply swallowing Raknos whole, but this time, he wasn’t alone.

Thud. Thud.

Following Blackie, the nine great Apostles of Annihilation revealed themselves.

“Alright, let’s take care of this quickly!”

“Yes!”

Wham! Krakoom!

Blackie and his subordinates began to destroy the stone walls created by Raknos.

The stone walls were not only sturdy but also instantly rebuilt themselves as they were destroyed, filling any gaps.

This was why Raknos was known as ‘Invincible’.

Raknos, protecting himself with the Crying Stone Walls, had never lost to an enemy.

However…

Wham!

“Grrrr. Gotcha.”

“Ack!”

It seemed that title could no longer be used.

Crack!

The neck of the grey stone lion, Raknos, snapped in Blackie’s jaws, and he vanished.

Black Tower, 55th floor.

Rumble!

As the massive stone wall that had suddenly appeared when Blackie began fighting Raknos crumbled,

“Huh?!” Sejun saw the body of the grey stone lion within the stone wall collapsing.

Blackie had succeeded.

Sejun hurriedly searched for Blackie’s family, whom he had been unable to take care of because of the stone wall.

Kkirorong.

Eomrorong.

Kkiruruk.

Finding them was easy, thanks to the sound of snoring.

“Alright, everyone, you’ve worked hard.”

As Sejun was taking care of Blackie’s family who had worked so hard,

“Hehe. President Park, you should take these too, nyan!” Theo picked up three orbs that had fallen next to Blackie’s family.

Two grey orbs and one black orb.

[Power Stone of the Invincible Grey Stone Lion Raknos: Grey Invasion]

[Power Stone of the Invincible Grey Stone Lion Raknos: Crying Stone Wall]

[Core Fragment (13%) of Fenrir, the Lofty Wolf Who Hunts the First Apostle of Annihilation]

“Okay. Thank you.” Sejun received the three orbs.

[Absorbing the >Power: Grey Invasion> contained within the Power Stone of the Invincible Grey Stone Lion Raknos: Grey Invasion.]

[Absorbing the >Power: Crying Stone Wall> contained within the Power Stone of the Invincible Grey Stone Lion Raknos: Crying Stone Wall.]

He put the core in his pocket and absorbed the power from the two Power Stones.

And then…

[The power of the target to be absorbed is significantly lacking.]

[Adjusting to the power of the target absorbing the power.]

[The power of the authority is greatly reduced.]

The powers became much weaker so Sejun could use them.

[Granted >Power: Feeble Petrification Curse>.]

[Granted >Power: Half-Broken Crying Stone Wall>.]

“Shall we take a look at the options?” Sejun checked the options of the two powers he had been granted.

>Power: Feeble Petrification Curse>

Casts a petrification curse that turns the enemy’s body to stone.

The enemy has a high chance of resisting petrification.

>Power: Half-Broken Crying Stone Wall>

Summons a Crying Stone Wall that is more than 50% destroyed.

“Hmm. What is this?

The odds are too stacked against me? Is it because I haven’t been cursing the system enough lately?

Just as Sejun was beginning to feel bad after checking the options of the power, which had been made weaker for Sejun,

[The >Title: The Beginning Gazer> discovers two powers to strengthen >Power: Half-Broken Crying Stone Wall>.]

A message appeared.

[The >Title: The Beginning Gazer> strengthens >Power: Half-Broken Crying Stone Wall> with >Power: Faint Breath of the Abyss> and >Power: Feeble Petrification Curse>.]

[Granted >Power: Shattered Abyss Crying Stone Wall>.]

“Has it gotten better?” Sejun checked the strengthened power.

>Power: Shattered Abyss Crying Stone Wall>

Summons a Crying Stone Wall that is less than 30% destroyed.

Has a very low chance of nullifying the enemy’s attack.

“Hmm.”

It went from over 50% to under 30%, which is better, but why do I feel bad?

While Sejun was checking the power,

Ppyak?!

[Uncle, are you okay?!] The Black Rabbit, worried about Sejun, rushed over.

“Yes. Of course, I’m okay. Hehe. I’m not the same as I used to be.” As Sejun puffed up with pride and unleashed his aura,

Gooooooo.

Sejun’s aura dominated the surroundings.

Ppyak?!

[Uncle, you’ve gotten stronger?!] The Black Rabbit felt Sejun’s power and was surprised.

Of course, that didn’t mean he was stronger than the Black Rabbit. It was just a feeling of ‘He’s a bit of a contender?’

The Black Rabbit, who had grown up eating Sejun’s crops and had become a king, consuming all sorts of rare elixirs, possessed strength at the level of a very strong creature.

Sejun had his strength acknowledged by the Black Rabbit.

“But where are Wolgang, Wolha, and Heuktochi?” He asked the Black Rabbit for the location of his next target for boasting.

Ppyak. Ppyak.

[They’re probably at the Farming School. I’ll guide you.] He moved to the Farming School with the Black Rabbit.

On the way there.

What should I name him?

Sejun fell into thought as he watched the Black Rabbit playing with Kkuengyi.

At first, he thought of using ‘Wol’ following Wolgang and Wolha, but then the surname would be different from his son, Heuktochi.

Since that wouldn’t do… he would unconditionally attach ‘Heuk’ in the front and put the parents’ surname ‘Wol’ in the middle…

Heukwol.

Already a perfect name.

But…

The last part…

Sejun was determined to add one more character.

Sejun pondered for a moment, then decided on the last character.

Black Rabbit, receive much fortune.

“Black Rabbit, how about Heukwolbok for your name?”

Fortunately, the first two characters were so overwhelming that the name didn’t sound too awkward.

Ppyak!

[I like it!] As Heukwolbok, who received Sejun’s name, rejoiced,

[Talent: Naming Sense effect is activated.]

[A special effect is imbued in the name Heukwolbok.]

[All stats increase by 33.]

[Granted >Power: Blessing of the Black Moon>.]

A special effect was imbued in the name Heukwolbok.

>Power: Blessing of the Black Moon> was a blessing that temporarily obscured the moonlight to create a lunar eclipse and used that moonlight as one’s own power.

“Hehe. Congratulations on your new name, nyan!” Theo and Kkuengyi congratulated Heukwolbok.

“Squeak!”

“[Butler! You must do your best!]”

The Blackie family had hoped for scary names. So, they were very sad when they heard their new names. They weren’t scary at all!

After naming the Blackie family and having a small celebration, Sejun and his friends went to the farming school. It was a sunny field with rows of neat vegetable patches.

Squeak.

“[If you plant like this and water it, it’ll be fine.]”

Squeak?

“[Did you understand?]”

Bbaek!

Bbyap!

“Hello, everyone.”

Sejun went to Wolgang and Wolha, who were teaching the baby rabbits, and greeted them.

“Squeak!”

“[Sejun, sir?!]”

“Squeak!”

“[Oh my! Is that really Sejun, sir?!]”

Sejun gave off a lot of energy without meaning to. Wolgang and Wolha felt shy and surprised by it.

They were surprised by how much Sejun had grown.

However, Sejun’s strength was not always a good thing.

Bbaek… Bbyap… Bbyat… The baby rabbits made small noises as they fainted.

“Huh?!” Sejun was shocked. ‘Oh no! Did I hurt them?’ he thought.

“Squeak!”

“[Sejun, sir, quickly reduce your energy!]”

“Vice Chairman Theo, can you make my energy weaker?”

“Heh heh heh. I understand, meow!”

Sejun didn’t know how to make his energy weaker. Theo helped him stop it.

A moment later.

Bbaek… Bbyap… Bbyat… The baby rabbits slowly woke up.

Sniff sniff.

Bbaek?!

Bbyap?!

Bbyat?!

What is this?!

The baby rabbits smelled a sweet scent they knew. They looked around, excited.

“Rabbits who want to eat carrot candy, come here and line up.”

The baby rabbits hurried over and lined up neatly in front of Sejun.

Sejun was making and sharing snacks to say sorry to the baby rabbits who had fainted because of him. He made shiny orange carrot candies that smelled sweet.

Bbaek?! Bbaek!

“[Uncle, when did you come?! Give me carrot candy quickly!]” The black rabbit always asked for candy first.

“I just arrived. Here. Take it.”

Sejun gave a carrot candy to each of the black rabbit’s front paws. Then, the other baby rabbits each got two carrot candies.

Crunch. Crunch. They sat with their friends and ate the carrot candy.

As Sejun was giving out carrot candy to the baby rabbits in line,

“Squeak!”

“[Sejun, sir, hello!]”

“Ddung, you already ate earlier.”

Squeak…

Ddung greeted Sejun as if he hadn’t eaten any snacks. But Sejun saw him in line again!

Grumble.

Ddung’s stomach made a noise.

“Ddung, eat where the kids can’t see. Got it?”

“Squeak!”

“[Yes!]”

Sejun quietly gave Ddung five carrot candies. Ddung was always greedy.

A moment later.

Sejun finished giving out snacks to the baby rabbits.

“Land cultivation.”

He put up a monument with Miller’s hoe.

[Luna Monument No. 2]

Wolgang, Wolha, and Black Moon Wolf all have powers from the moon. If I pray to the moon goddess Luna, the kids and Luna will both get stronger.

“Alright, kids, I’ll be going now.”

As Sejun tried to leave,

Bbaek?

“[Uncle, can’t you stay overnight?]”

Bbyap!

“[Sejun, sir, stay longer!]”

Squeak!

“[Sejun, sir, don’t go!]”

The baby rabbits grabbed Sejun, very sad.

Heh heh. I’m so popular.

Sejun smiled because the baby rabbits liked him.

Now I can’t eat carrot candy…

The rabbits were sad because they wanted more carrot candy, not because of Sejun.

Ah. If it weren’t for the Authority, I would have stayed overnight…

Sejun was sad.

If I sleep here and go tomorrow, the >Authority: Master of Magic (Replica)> will disappear. Then everyone will know that my strength today is not real.

So, Sejun went back to the 99th floor of the tower. He had shown off his strength to the rabbits on the 55th floor.

***

Temple of the Creator God.

“What is it? Why aren’t they attacking even though they can see the level 10 world?”

The Creator God showed a level 10 world to trick the Apostles of Destruction. He was worried because they were not attacking.

“This can’t be happening…”

Why aren’t they attacking?

The Creator God didn’t understand.

The Apostles of Destruction always attack as soon as they see something.

But now they were not attacking.

If this happens, I need to find another way…

The Creator God was thinking about what to do.

Night on the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

(Baet Baet. Good night, everyone!)

Baet Baet started flying around.

Chomp. Chomp.

Baet Baet ate the fruit Sejun had left out.

(Baet Baet! Open up!)

Whoosh.

It opened a door to another place.

(Baet Baet. It’s not here either!)

(Baet Baet. It’s not here either!)

Baet Baet kept opening and closing the door, looking for something.

“Heh heh heh. Baet Baet, find the place I told you about, meow!”

Theo wanted it to find the place where Jormungandr and Hydra were.

So, the Creator God was trying to trick Jormungandr and Hydra, and Theo was trying to find them. No one knew who would win. But it was not good for Jormungandr and Hydra.

Baet Baet was looking for the place where Jormungandr and Hydra were.

Hee hee hee.

Blackie got out of bed.

Munch.

Blackie took the core from Sejun’s pocket.

Heh heh. Butler! I’ll make your glass-skin core stronger!

He put the core in Sejun’s mouth.

Thwack!

Gulp.

He pushed it down Sejun’s throat.

Kkirorong.

Blackie lay down on Sejun’s chest and went back to sleep.

The night went on.

Hum.

The glass-skin core started to get stronger with Fenrir’s core.

It became a super glass-skin core.
