93rd Floor of the Green Tower.
“Are you ready to open the passage?”
“I’m sorry. The Immortal Clan that was in charge of the lower floors suddenly disappeared….”
At the cold voice coming from the giant throne, Blethun, the boss of the 93rd floor of the tower, answered with a voice filled with fear, prostrated on the ground.
“10 days. Finish it within 10 days. If you don’t finish it within that time, your life will end.”
As Blethun hurriedly disappeared,
– Hel, the God of Merchants, says there’s a demon that turns legendary merchants into slaves, and if you see a yellow cat, run away no matter what
There was energy of destruction here?
On the 99th floor of the Black Tower, Sejun had deliberately planted Fenrir’s core fragments in the ground, so there was energy of destruction, but not here.
What is this? Is there an Apostle of Destruction nearby?!
As Sejun kept a vigilant watch on the surroundings,
“Hey! If you stay there like that, they’ll come! Quickly, hide over here!”
A voice called Sejun, opening a small cover on the ground.
Any threats to Sejun were already being dealt with by Cuengi with the Thunderbolt staff.
“Huh?! Why is the fifth calamity appearing here? Ophelia, didn’t you know a calamity had entered the tower?”
Sejun scolded Ophelia, but
“Are you trying to communicate with other places? Then it’s useless. I don’t know what they did, but communication is blocked. Ah, my name is Ari.”
A green meerkat named Ari, who had come out of the underground tunnel, looked up at Sejun and spoke.
“Yeah. About a year ago, they suddenly appeared, made the boss of this place, Blethun, their subordinate, and have been turning the residents into slaves.”
“Meow! Did you say slaves, meow?!”
Theo, with his nose flaring in excitement, asked in an eager voice at Ari’s words.
“Then are the snails also under their control?”
“Yes. The snails are capturing the residents of the tower. That’s why we are hiding underground.”
Just as Sejun was listening to Ari explain the situation on the 93rd floor of the tower,
[Quest: The mangosteen farm on the 93rd floor of the Green Tower has been eroded and disappeared due to the energy of destruction. Remove the energy of destruction that has spread on the 93rd floor of the tower.]
Reward: One mangosteen tree, recognition as the rightful owner of the land deed.
A land deed quest appeared.
“So this was originally a mangosteen farm.”
Thanks to this, Sejun learned what kind of farm this place used to be.
“Ari, where is their main base…”
As Sejun was asking Ari about the enemy’s main base,
[Heehee. Guys, charge!]
“Great Blackie is on the move! Make way!”
The Destruction Devourers, carrying Blackie and Eumdol, started running north.
Ari belatedly pointed in the direction where the Destruction Devourers were heading.
“Hey! Let’s go together! Everyone, let’s go!”
Thus, Sejun, Theo, and Cuengi, worried about Blackie, hurriedly followed behind.
There was no need to worry much.
The fifth calamity, the Giant Poisonous Snails, were surrounded by the Destruction Devourers.
The Giant Poisonous Snails, sucked out of their energy of destruction, began to fall one by one.
To the Destruction Devourers, the calamities were just excellent food with great nutrients.
The Destruction Devourers burped, emitting a blue mist.
[As a reward for this great feat, the cost of staying on the 0th floor of the Black Tower will be reduced by 1%.]
Messages appeared simultaneously.
“Oh, it’s a 1% reduction!”
If the stay cost decreases by 1% every time the Devourers burp in another tower, and there are 7 towers left…
“Hehehe. I can reduce it by an additional 7%.”
That would bring the stay cost down to 19%.
If I’m lucky, I might even be able to reduce it to 0%?
“I believe in you, Vice Chairman Theo!”
Sejun had Theo, who had the golden front paw of great luck that never failed to bring good fortune.
“Meow?! Chairman Park, you believe in me, meow?! Got it, meow! Just believe in me, Vice Chairman Theo, meow!”
Puhuhut. The great Chairman Park said he believes in me, meow! I’m so happy, meow!
Theo’s chest swelled with emotion at Sejun’s words.
“Chairman Park, it’s that way, meow!”
I suddenly feel a pull from that direction, meow!
Theo, who was clinging to Sejun’s knee, pointed west with his front paw.
“Really? Then we should split up.”
Sejun could always trust Theo’s intuition.
For his safety, Sejun planned to move with Theo and Cuengi.
I’m a bit worried about Paespaes alone…
“Summon Black Rabbit.”
To protect Blackie, Eumdol, and the Destruction Devourers, Sejun used the Dragon Horn’s Return Bracelet to summon Black Rabbit.
Considering the communication cut-off with Ophelia, the summoning might not work…
[Uncle, thank you so much for calling me!]
Fortunately, the summoning of Black Rabbit was successful. But why is he so grateful, as if he had a narrow escape from death?
“Black Rabbit, protect the others along with Paespaes.”
[Uncle, don’t worry! You can count on me!]
Leaving Blackie and his subordinates to the overly enthusiastic Black Rabbit and Paespaes,
“Vice Chairman Theo, is it that way?”
“Puhuhut. Yes, meow! It’s that way, meow!”
[Cuengi will give you a ride!]
Sejun and Theo got on Cuengi’s back and flew quickly in the direction Theo pointed.
They saw Shark, the legendary merchant working with destruction was wearing a black hood and stamping the foreheads of lined up tower residents.
“Meow! It’s him, meow!”
Theo moved in an instant with Meow Step,
Snatching the red stamp Shark was holding,
“Chairman Park, catch this, meow!”
Theo quickly returned to Sejun with Meow Step and handed over the stamp that Shark was holding.
32nd Floor of the Black Tower.
“Sigh. When will I get there?”
