Black Tower’s Administrator Zone.
“Kekekeke. It’s rising well.”
Aileen watched with delight as Sejun’s contribution points continued to accumulate.
Moreover, eating the Sotteok-sotteok skewer that Sejun had given her made her feel like she had the whole world.
Power of gravity, tear the enemy apart! Triple Mega Black Hole!”
Iona used her most powerful spell, opening three massive black holes around the red energy to buy time.
As Sejun and the group fled from the red energy,
-Cuengi, thank you. Now Master Sejun won’t be able to see this far, right?
Flamie sighed in relief and started to exert its full strength.
Massive roots emerged from the ground and began to widely wrap around the red energy.
It was to prevent any harm to Sejun and the group in the upcoming battle.
In an instant, a 100-meter-tall wall of roots surrounded the red energy.
Though the red energy tried to annihilate everything around it, it couldn’t affect Flamie’s roots.
This was thanks to the reward Sejun received for driving the locusts to extinction on Earth.
While Flamie blocked the red energy, the amassed red energy took on a complete form.
It was a giant wolf resembling Fenrir.
When the wolf howled,
The shockwave burst through Flamie’s encircling roots,
-You can’t escape from here!
Fortunately, behind them were dozens of layers of roots, a testament to Flamie’s determination to protect Sejun.
New roots grew quickly, filling the gaps.
“You bastard! How dare destruction set foot here!”
Kaiser descended before the giant wolf Fenrir.
-Dare? You insolent dragon! You dare be rude before me, Fenrir, the wolf who hunts gods!
“Hmph! You’re not even worth me fighting seriously!”
When Kaiser’s words enraged the giant Fenrir,
“Disappear quickly! You’re hurting our Sejun!”
Kaiser fired a breath attack at giant Fenrir.
Thanks to Flamie, the energy did not leak out, but Flamie couldn’t hold on forever.
As Kaiser’s breath attacked the giant Fenrir,
The roots grew rapidly, covering the ceiling.
The roots swelled, then turned to dust and vanished, leaving nothing but a massive hemispherical crater where the giant Fenrir had been.
-Kahahaha. Is our Sejun okay?! I’ve dealt with Fenrir, so you can rest easy!
Kaiser moved the Black Dragon statue to find Sejun, who had taken refuge in a cave, and brought a huge amount of money with him.
-Kahahaha. Thank you.
With the money obtained from defeating the giant Fenrir, Kaiser bought ten Transcendence Black Beans (+2) from Sejun.
Kaiser also made a contract to let Sejun handle the next dragon meeting, paying an advance of 1.5 trillion Tower Coins.
Khuhuhu. I’m almost a VVIP at the Dragon Market now.
Kaiser, determined to be the first to become a VVIP this time, returned to the fountain.
Once the transaction was complete, Sejun moved back to the place where the giant Fenrir had been with his party.
Since he couldn’t witness the fight, he at least wanted to see the remnants.
As Sejun marveled at the traces left by Kaiser’s breath attack,
Fenrir emerged from the sling bag and ran towards the crater. He couldn’t believe it. His core had vanished.
However, even though the slope of the crater was not that great of an angle, it was a challenging climb for Fenrir.
Fenrir, running to getting out of the crater, tripped and rolled down to the center.
There, at the center of the crater,
Something started to be absorbed into Fenrir’s body.
As the core shattered from Kaiser’s breath attack, the center point disappeared and the power begin scattering, when Fenrir with familiar power appeared.
It was a minuscule amount of power compared to what was originally contained in the core fragment, but
‘It’s the power of my core!’
To Fenrir, who had almost given up, it was a delightful surprise.
As Fenrir rejoiced, having recovered some of his power,
“Blackie, are you okay?”
Sejun reached the center of the crater following Fenrir.
[The power is merging with the existing Fenrir’s core fragment.]
[1.0021% of Fenrir’s power is accumulated in your body.]
A message appeared before Sejun.
“Looks like something was left behind.”
Sejun, without knowing the details, absorbed the power along with Fenrir.
The power accumulated faster in Sejun than in Fenrir, thanks to the core fragment Sejun possessed.
As Sejun absorbed Fenrir’s power,
“Puhuhut. Found it, meow!”
Theo used his golden front paw to dig up fragments of the staff buried in the ground.
The staff was broken, but
[King Giant Worm’s Heart]
Fortunately, the gems embedded in the staff were intact.
Sejun stood in the crater until the messages stopped appearing, then headed to the waypoint.
Moving to the 75th floor of the Tower, Sejun sought out Mason to obtain the Golden Tower land deed.
“I-I’m sorry. We did our best…”
The wandering merchant association could only procure land deeds from for the 21st floor of the Brown Tower, the 12th floor of the Blue Tower, and the 1st floor of the Green Tower.
“Well, just give me those for now.”
Sejun thought that if Theo traded with other towers through the wandering merchant’s bag, there might be a chance for him to visit those places.
“Huh?! It’s fine. Just take them!”
Sejun tried to pay for the land deeds, but Mason adamantly refused.
“Alright then. I’ll come back next time.”
Sejun bid Mason farewell and left the headquarters of the wandering merchant association.
As they entered the shopping district after leaving the headquarters,
[Hey! I’m hungry! Give me food now!]
Fenrir’s voice echoed in everyone’s mind. Having partially regained his strength, he could now send his thoughts to others.
‘Ah. That feels better.’
As Fenrir rejoiced at finally escaping the frustrating situation where he couldn’t communicate,
“Blackie, it’s disrespectful to talk to Chairman Park like that, meow!”
[Blackie needs to learn manners from Cuengi!]
