“Puhuhut. I took a lot of stamps, meow!”
With a proud expression, Theo returned after stamping with the Five Towers’ Slave Seal and clung to Sejun’s knee.
Hehehe. Vice Chairman Theo, you did well.
Sejun quietly patted Theo on the head.
Thanks to Theo, Sejun now commanded 1,000 slaves, and all his Stats increased by 10.
Not just this life, but the next life, and the one after that…
No matter how many times I’m reborn, Flamie, who will live for countless eons, will hate me.
Hamer’s mind began to go blank.
“Patrick-nim, what should I do?!”
Hamer asked urgently, crawling towards Patrick while still holding the Soul Pressing Stone.
The pain from the Soul Pressing Stone was no longer the issue.
“What do you mean what should you do?! You have to do whatever it takes to make Flamie believe in gods again.”
“I understand! I’ll work hard…”
Just as Hamer resolved to somehow show a good image to Flamie somehow,
“But before that, you need to be punished for the wrongs you just confessed to.”
Patrick added dozens of massive Soul Pressing Stones on top of the stone Hamer was holding.
“Your punishment will last until Park Sejun finds all two fragments of the door leading to the 10th Tower. So hurry up and find them.”
Hamer started diligently performing his duties as the sub-administrator of the 10th Tower, which he had been neglecting until now.
As soon as Sejun arrived,
The Destruction Devourers, who had been eagerly awaiting Sejun’s arrival, greeted him excitedly.
“Alright, let’s go home, Devourers.”
As Sejun opened the Void Storage,
“Chairman Park, I missed you, meow!”
Theo, who had been in a standby mode ever since entering the Void Storage, quickly sprang out and clung to Sejun’s face.
“Chairman Park, your face got so rotten just in that short time, meow!”
Theo started kneading Sejun’s face.
“Hey! You weren’t even in there for 10 seconds!”
“But your face still looks rotten, meow!”
In the end, Theo got his cheeks pinched as a punishment by Sejun.
[Heh heh. Didn’t I say the great Blackie would come back?! Hurry and get in quickly!]
Meanwhile, Blackie was directing the Destruction Devourers to enter the Void Storage.
“You guys climb up here.”
Eomdol, Ggomi, and Kkabi guided the Destruction Devourers, making sure as many of them as possible could fit into the Void Storage.
As the Destruction Devourers smoothly entered the Void Storage even without Sejun’s direct supervision,
Sejun placed Theo on his lap and began to check the things he hadn’t been able to due to being busy.
First, the Achievements of Courage.
When Sejun thought of the Heart of Courage that had been absorbed into his own heart,
→ You can accumulate Achievements of Courage and use them when needed.
→ Current accumulated Achievements of Courage: 2 (Items exchangeable with achievements)
The details appeared in front of Sejun just as he desired.
And there was something new that he hadn’t seen before.
‘Items exchangeable with achievements?’
When Sejun focused his gaze on that part,
Awaken ‘Talent: Fearless’ – 50 Achievements of Courage
Acquire ‘Skill: Summon Courageous Warrior (Master)’ – 40 Achievements of Courage
Acquire ‘Skill: Mark of Courage (Master)’ – 30 Achievements of Courage
Increase all Stats by 100 (10/10) – 2 Achievements of Courage
Options that could be exchanged with Achievements of Courage appeared.
“I should save up more of these for now.”
With total of 4 Stats exceeding 10,000, Sejun decided that increasing all Stats by 100 wasn’t very significant, so he decided to aim for combat skills first.
Next, Sejun took out the Golden Earth Orb that had sealed Patrick from his pocket.
He had checked it before, but as time passed, he felt the orb was becoming more golden in hue.
At first, he thought it was just his imagination, but the golden color was indeed growing more vivid over time.
→ This is the orb that once sealed Patrick, the God of Earth.
→ It still contains some of the Earth’s power.
→ Patrick, the God of Earth, left a part of his in the orb to express his gratitude to Park Sejun of the Black Tower for rescuing him.
→ Even if the Earth’s power is used, it will continue to replenish itself.
→ Usage Restriction: None
As Sejun had suspected, there was a change in the Golden Earth Orb.
To enhance Flamie’s trust in the gods, Patrick had gone out of his way to infuse a portion of his Power into the orb.
“Oh! Patrick-nim, thank you!”
I’ll build two achievement monuments for you!
The name? Twin Achievement Monuments.
Thanks to this, Patrick became the first god to receive the honor of having the first-ever twin achievement monuments from Sejun.
And so, Sejun decided to build twin monument statues for Patrick when he returned home.
Lastly, he checked his Skills.
After completing the Job Quest, all of his Job Skills had increased by one level, and the Magic Seed Sowing skill had reached Master.
For the first time, Sejun had mastered a Job Skill. While Mastering a skill typically signifies the end,
[Your Job Experience have slightly increased.]
[Your proficiency in Magic Seed Sowing (Master) has slightly increased.]
Despite being a Master skill, the Proficiency of Magic Seed Sowing continued to rise.
Is there a next level?
Sejun thought that perhaps fulfilling certain conditions might unlock the next stage.
[Guys, trust your leader! The great Blackie will return soon, so just wait a bit longer!]
As there wasn’t enough space in the Void Storage, Blackie was barking enthusiastically to reassure the Destruction Devourers.
“I better hurry and get this done. Let’s go.”
Sejun quickly put his companions into the Void Storage and returned to the Black Tower.
The Outskirts of Destruction.
“Damn it! Are there really so few who follow me?!”
Halphas, who had been waiting for the Apostles of Destruction for three weeks, was on the verge of giving up.
At that moment, Leviathan, the serpent that summons tsunamis and the 12th seat of the Apostles of Destruction, returned to replenish the power he had exhausted in his attempts to destroy a world and conquer the towers.
“Oh! Leviathan, you came?! I knew you’d show up!”
Halphas welcomed Leviathan with delight.
Leviathan, who had been completely lost in thought.
“Oh?! Yes, of course! Sorry for being late! I had a lot to do, so it took me some time to get here.”
Suddenly, Leviathan remembered that Halphas had summoned all of the Apostles of Destruction and quickly responded.
