“Heh. That’s all you’ve got. It’s me, after all.”
They were in a ruined place.
Then, Destruction Sejun appeared. He was huge.
Sejun shook. He was terrified as he looked at the giant Destruction Sejun.
He felt like he might faint. But he told himself, “Wake up, Park Sejun!”
“‘I can’t lose to myself!'”
He desperately held on to avoid fainting.
At that moment,
Whoosh!
The giant Destruction Sejun swung his arm.
Kkueang!
“[Daddy, it’s dangerous!]”
“…?”
Dangerous? What is?
Kkueang felt danger before Sejun did. He quickly pulled Sejun back.
In that instant,
Kwagwang!
The spot where Sejun had been just moments ago exploded.
The giant Destruction Sejun had launched a massive red aura at Sejun.
Fortunately, the aura of creation spread around had blocked the attack, so the explosion wasn’t large.
The attack took a chunk out of the creation aura, like biting an apple.
It would take time for the aura to come back…
Sejun became anxious looking at the disappearing creation aura. If the next attack came to the same spot, it would be over.
No. Why is that thing suddenly moving!
“Kkabulteo, distance yourself…”
As Sejun furiously told Kkabulteo to quickly distance himself from the giant Destruction Sejun,
Whoosh!
The giant Destruction Sejun launched the red aura again.
And then,
Glug.
Kkabulteo burped, not farted, and let out creation aura.
Kwagwang!
Blocking the aura.
Kkabulteo, nice!
Having his attacks blocked twice, the giant Destruction Sejun, displeased, moved his own body and approached directly.
“Kkabulteo, increase the distance! Full speed!”
-Yes!
Kkabulteo thought, “‘I burp to breathe fire, and fart to go fast!'”
Pppbbbbbt!
Kkabulteo farted so hard it was a little worrying, and increased the distance from the giant Destruction Sejun.
And then,
Whirr.
The giant Destruction Sejun, taking Kkabulteo’s actions as provocation, became enraged and the surroundings began to burn.
At the same time, a spherical flame barrier was created around him.
Destruction Sejun used two of Sejun’s fire skills at once: Fire Field and Greenhouse.
He could use it like that?
Unlike when Sejun used it, it was cool and powerful.
Sejun felt a little annoyed that his copy was using *his* skills. But then he thought, “Ah. Good.”
Because of this, the fire only made Sejun’s body in the best condition.
Seeing that his attacks didn’t seem to work, the giant Destruction Sejun changed his attack again.
The fire disappeared and dark clouds began to form around him.
It was the Thunder skill.
Of course, the power was vastly different.
Swish.
Acid rain that melted everything it touched first fell.
Sssst.
The creation aura hit by the rain was gradually eaten away, and the area decreased.
Kwagwang!
Following that, a red lightning bolt that seemed impossible to withstand fell.
-Kuek! Sejun, I can only withstand it 5 more times!
Kkabulteo hurriedly reported his body condition to Sejun.
“5 times?!”
This was a disaster.
“Kkueang, inside!”
Kkueang!
Sejun entered inside Kkueang and Jormungandr’s body.
“Summon Gate.”
Thud!
He summoned the gate leading to the 10th floor.
Clang!
“Guys, come out!”
Sejun hurriedly opened the gate and summoned the Destruction Devourers from the 10th floor.
Kiki!
The Destruction Devourers came out of the gate and joined him.
Hap. Hap.
Thanks to them, the production of the creation aura greatly increased.
Pppbbbbbt.
Kkabulteo was able to gain even greater propulsion.
Sejun increased Kkabulteo’s fart power by joining the Destruction Devourers.
“Kkueang, back outside.”
Kkueang!
He came back outside with Kkueang.
Plop. Plop. Plop.
He began to plant beans reaching the sky on Jormungandr’s body.
This way, he could withstand it once or twice.
It was to wrap Jormungandr’s body with beanstalks to reduce the impact.
And it was to create a place to stand in case Jormungandr’s body ran out of life force and disappeared.
Crack.
The bean reaching the sky absorbed Jormungandr’s life force and grew rapidly.
Kwagwang!
Meanwhile, the falling red lightning
Kkueang!
Kkueang, who had eaten the Bean Set and had his abilities amplified 16 times, created lightning and blocked it.
“How many times do you think you can withstand it, Kkueang?”
Kkueang!
“[Kkueang can withstand it 20 times!]”
“Kkueang, don’t overdo it. Okay?”
Kkueang!
“[Okay!]”
Sejun heard Kkueang’s answer.
Drip. Drip. Drip.
He hurriedly dropped 30 drops of the Elixir of Harvest on the beans he had planted.
Herr asked Theo if Sejun needed more Elixir of Harvest to get better rewards.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, do you need more Elixir of Harvest?”
“The more elixirs, the better.”
“Puhuhut. I understand! Herr, I’ll give you the Elixir of Harvest whenever it’s available!”
Theo, hearing Sejun’s answer, asked Herr to give him the Elixir of Harvest whenever it was available.
And then,
Theo thought, “‘Hehehe. My plan is working!'”
Thanks to Herr receiving and diligently completing the repeated quests, Sejun was able to collect quite a lot of Elixir of Harvest.
Crack!
The bean reaching the sky absorbed the Elixir of Harvest and grew rapidly upwards.
“Huh?!”
He thought it would only grow straight, but it couldn’t grow straight because of the acid rain created by the giant Destruction Sejun.
Instead, it continued to grow within the area where the creation aura was, and began to extend its stems sideways.
The 20 beans reaching the sky extended their stems in all directions, creating a border.
Crack.
The remaining beans reaching the sky, which were growing slowly, supported the bottom and grew.
While a giant planet made of plants was being created,
Whoosh!
The giant Destruction Sejun chased after him, even attacking with aura.
-Full speed!
Pppbbbbbt.
Kkabul-to ran as fast as he could.
Bolts of energy flashed past him, smashing tree trunks to pieces with a loud CRACK!
But instantly, new tree branches grew back to fill the gaps.
“What in the cosmos are those two doing?” one dragon rumbled.
“Playing, perhaps?” another mused. “Isn’t it said that what looks like a disaster up close can seem like a game from far away?”
“Well, they are certainly making a lot of noise for a game,” the first dragon chuckled, a sound like rocks grinding together.
“Has Sejun learned to grow bigger now?” a third dragon wondered.
“Or has that Theo creature invented something else, like that strange ‘Santa Sejun’ thing?”
The Great Dragons, who were hunting in this part of space, watched the chase between the giant Doom Sejun and Kkabul-to from very far away. They were about as far as a star is from its nearest neighbor. Around Sejun, strange things happened all the time, so the dragons never thought he was in any real danger. Without even noticing, they had come to trust Sejun and his friends. Maybe this trust was a good thing, or maybe it was just… interesting to watch.
“How can I stop that thing…?” Now that Sejun was far enough away from the giant Doom Sejun, he thought hard about how to fight it. *Maybe just running away will work,* he thought. *Kkabul-to’s farts are supposed to be… life-giving, right?* Doom Sejun chasing after him was like running through a cloud of… well, something that should weaken him. *If he keeps breathing it in, he has to get weaker.* *Should I just keep running and see what happens?*
Just as Sejun decided to keep running and watch, the air around Doom Sejun started to shake. RUMBLE! The Tears of Doom floating around Doom Sejun began to tremble and glow red. Doom Sejun was furious that Kkabul-to was making fun of him and running away, and his anger was making the Tears of Doom around him angry too. They started to pulse with dark energy. WHOOSH. The Tears of Doom, reacting to Doom Sejun’s rage, rushed towards him and joined with his body, giving him their power. And then – WHOOSH. WHOOSH. With each Tear of Doom that joined him, Doom Sejun grew bigger and stronger. Doom Sejun roared and kept chasing Kkabul-to, sucking in more and more Tears of Doom.
“Wait… what?!” Sejun shouted. *Why is he getting bigger?!*
By the time Sejun understood something was terribly wrong, it was too late. BOOM! Doom Sejun, now filled with the power of so many Tears of Doom, changed. He became Ultra-Doom Sejun! CRACKLE! The very air around Ultra-Doom Sejun seemed to break and crack under his enormous power.
“Kkueng!” [Daddy, danger!] Kkueng cried out, jumping in front of Sejun to protect him. *No, I can’t pass out now…* Sejun thought, but the overwhelming power of Ultra-Doom Sejun was too much. He felt his mind fading away.
Just then – WHACK! “Heh heh! President Park, wake up, meow! Theo is back, meow!”
“Squeak squeak! And I’m here too!” added a tiny voice.
Theo appeared in a flash, Iona the squirrel dangling from his tail. He slapped Sejun hard across the face, even as a warm glow of healing magic flowed from his paws. *Why does he always heal my face like this?* Sejun thought groggily.
“Huh? Uh…” The sting of the slap and the healing magic snapped Sejun back to his senses. *That little…!* Anger flared in Sejun, clearing the last of the fog from his mind.
At the same moment, a message appeared in front of him:
[You have defeated Jormungandr, the Third Seat Apostle of Doom, the Serpent that Devours the World.]
[You have gained 6.7 trillion experience points.]
[Level Up!]
[Bonus Stat Point awarded.]
[Strength increased by 30.]
[Strength Potential increased by 1%.]
…
Jormungandr’s body, now lifeless, faded into nothing.
“Squeak!” [Butler! We’re here!] Iona chirped happily, finally getting Theo to stop swinging her around.
