The Now-Destroyed Level 9 World
Pink-fur was the sole survivor of .
No, to be precise, there were two of them until they entered the Tower, but in the end, Pink-fur was left alone.
Just before was destroyed, Pink-fur had entered the Tower with her son.
Pink-fur and her son, both had suffered fatal injuries and barely managed to enter the Tower, but…
Her son did not last long and passed away first, while Pink-fur survived due to her tenacious vitality.
The destruction of the world she lived in and the death of her child.
[Hehe. It’s time for the great Blackie to step up for the worthless butler! Butler! Follow me!]
Blackie headbutted Pink-fur and fainted.
Sejun headbutted Pink-fur again.
Sejun and Theo lost consciousness.
[Master Minotaur King, please take care of Mom!]
Cuengi pressed his forehead against Pink-fur’s and fell unconscious as well.
Pink-fur’s Mental World
“Grrr. Butler! Stay close behind me!”
“You’re totally a sunfish!”
“Puhuhut. Super Giant Chairman Park No. 2, launching, meow!”
“Huh?! There’s a No. 2 as well?”
“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow!”
Sejun and his companions conversed while approaching Pink-fur’s mental world that emitted bright light.
“All I see is Cuengi.”
Sejun looked around and spoke.
Cuengi eating, Cuengi sleeping, Cuengi yawning, and so on.
As expected of a mother, Pink-fur’s entire mental world was filled with nothing but Cuengis.
Pink-fur, wearing a sorrowful expression, was quietly stroking a small grave.
But her body was not normal.
Corruption had already taken over half of her body and was constantly whispering to her.
“That never happened!”
Each time Corruption’s words tore at Pink-fur’s wounds, more of her body succumbed to it.
We need to destroy Corruption quickly!
Seeing how dire Pink-fur’s condition was, Sejun hurried toward her with his companions.
-He’s here! Park Sejun is here! Go kill him!
“No! Cuengi likes Sejun-nim! I can’t harm him!”
-Then are you just going to let Cuengi be taken from you?!
-So Cuengi really is your son…
That was exactly what Corruption wanted.
Moreover, Corruption had grown stronger by parasitizing Pink-fur’s mind, making it immune even to the primordial power imbued in Sejun’s gaze.
“Pink-fur, snap out of it!”
“Snap out of it, meow!”
“Grrr. Pink-fur, think about how sad Cuengi will be! If you go any further, this will really be the end!”
Sejun and his companions desperately called out to Pink-fur, who was being swallowed by Corruption.
“Just leave me alone!”
Pink-fur’s condition only worsened.
The Cuengis that had been standing idly around suddenly shattered, and skeletal bears rose from their remains.
I have to stop this myself!
“Blackie, hold off the enemies! Vice Chairman Theo, let’s go!”
Sejun, riding Theo and Super Giant Chairman Park No. 2, rushed toward Pink-fur.
If his gaze couldn’t purify Corruption, he decided to make direct contact instead.
Since merely looking at it had an effect, touching it directly should deal even more damage.
“Don’t come near me!”
Pink-fur swung her front paw to attack Sejun.
Super Giant Chairman Park No. 2 blocked the attack and firmly grabbed Pink-fur’s front paw.
In that moment, Sejun placed his hand on the part of Pink-fur’s body infected by Corruption.
Contrary to his expectations, touching Corruption did nothing.
-Kekekeke. How foolish.
Instead, Corruption began crawling up Sejun’s arm, trying to consume his body.
“Don’t you dare touch Chairman Park, meow!”
Theo quickly struck Corruption with his front paw.
-Urgh! A mere cat who can’t do anything alone!
Corruption, enraged, tried to exploit Theo’s trauma.
“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, am nothing without Chairman Park, meow!”
Theo coolly accepted his trauma, making Corruption’s attack completely ineffective.
“Vice Chairman Theo, let’s just tear it off!”
“Puhuhut. Understood, meow!”
Sejun and Theo forcibly grabbed Corruption and tried to rip it away from Pink-fur’s body.
Corruption struggled violently.
“Grrr! Butler must not get hurt! Understood?”
Meanwhile, the Blackie Family held off the approaching skeletal bears while keeping an eye on Sejun’s condition.
As the chaotic battle raged on,
Suddenly, the surroundings darkened, and an overwhelming pressure filled the air, making it hard to breathe.
Sejun, the weakest mentally, instantly lost consciousness and was forcibly expelled into his own mental world.
A massive Cuengi appeared, exuding a blackish-red aura.
This time, even the Beast of Apocalypse did not hold back and lent its power to Cuengi.
-That bear is not your real mother! Don’t you understand?!
Corruption spoke to Cuengi, trying to provoke Pink-fur. Pink-fur’s resistance had grown stronger ever since Cuengi appeared.
“Cuengi’s real mom is the one right here! And Cuengi cannot forgive you for making Mom cry!”
That only shortened Corruption’s lifespan.
The moment Cuengi’s fist touched Corruption, it vanished as if it had never existed. That was the power of the Beast of Apocalypse.
“Cuengi, I’m sorry. The truth is, you are actually my…”
Pink-fur tried to reveal the truth she had kept in her heart all this time.
“That’s not important! Just tell Cuengi that you love him!”
Cuengi shook his head and cut off Pink-fur’s words.
“Sniff… Cuengi… Mom is… sniff… my only mom! Sniff… Cuengi is the same… sniff… Crimson Giant Bear like Mom… sniff… Cuengi… sniff… cannot live without Mom!”
He threw himself into Pink-fur’s arms and started crying.
“Yes. Mom loves Cuengi too, and I’m sorry.”
Pink-fur, also shedding tears, tightly embraced Cuengi and gently patted his back.
When she thought about it, what did it matter if Cuengi resembled her or Sejun? He would still be her son no matter what…
“Grrr. Should we get going now?”
Blackie and his subordinates disappeared.
Leaving only Pink-fur and Cuengi together.
For a long time, the two couldn’t stop laughing, and they truly became mother and son, an unbreakable bond.
Like that, Pink-fur returned to reality.
[Mom, look at this! Cuengi can make fire really well!]
It was only then that she realized the black fur on Cuengi’s head had been singed by the flames.
[Son, no fire for a week!]
