Inside Jǫrmungandr’s stomach.
“Guys, don’t worry. I’ll stay with you until the rescue team arrives.”
Sejun reassured the Destruction Devourers, who were anxiously watching him.
Sejun and his group could leave whenever they wanted, but the Destruction Devourers had to remain here, making them uneasy about whether Sejun and his group would return.
It should take about three days, right?
So, they decided to wait together until Paespaes could create another dimensional gate here.
Earlier, amidst all the commotion, Sejun hadn’t thought about it, but with Paespaes’ skills, it wouldn’t take long to open a portal connecting this place to the Black Tower.
Mother and child rubbed their faces against each other, relishing their reunion.
As Sejun watched Cuengi and Pink-fur reunite, his own mother came to mind.
-Brother-in-law~! I was so worried!
Ace, who had fallen asleep while worrying about Sejun, had just heard the news of his return and hurriedly flew over.
“Yeah. Thanks for worrying about me too, baby brother-in-law.”
Sejun comforted Ace, who clung to him.
“Aileen, what happened to the ?”
While waiting for Ace to calm down in his embrace, Sejun asked Aileen about ’s situation.
He was worried about the Earth Dragons left in , especially Toryong.
[The Tower’s Administrator says that the other adults safely returned to its original place.]
“Really? That’s a relief.”
Feeling reassured by Aileen’s words, Sejun began his day on the 99th floor of the Tower.
Of course, the first task of the day was preparing breakfast.
After finishing breakfast,
“Is it time for the Golden Tower now? Artemis~nim, here.”
Sejun handed Artemis 12 Divine Relics and 101 pieces of the World’s Energy, achieving two additional achievements and fulfilling four growth conditions for the Golden Tower in one go.
Thanks to this, the full-time employee gods also completed their quests with excess Divine Relics and earned welfare points.
“Alright, I’ll be back!”
After bidding farewell to the 99th-floor residents of the Tower,
Sejun stepped towards the waypoint, which had now been moved right next to his home, and traveled to the Golden Tower to complete the remaining growth conditions.
Passing through the 99th floor of the Golden Tower, Sejun arrived at the 86th floor, where Daemon family was located.
I’ll relax and work here for a few days.
While gathering information, Sejun planned to enjoy a comfortable stay in Daemon family.
At the Silver Tower, he had unknowingly worked too hard, and even yesterday, he had ended up overworking again.
“Park Sejun, 100 hours a week is too much.”
That’s right. I deserve to rest. Hehehe.
With that thought in mind, Sejun arrived at Daemon family, ready to take it easy.
His plans fell apart before they could even begin.
[Sejun~nim! Theo~nim! Hello!]
He encountered Piyot, Uren, and Poyo in Daemon family.
As a bad feeling crept over Sejun,
“Meow?! Chairman Park, I sense an attraction, meow!”
Theo pointed his paw at Uren.
A massive lightning bolt struck toward Uren.
“I am Raton, the fleeting spark that illuminates the world, a great force of destruction, an unfortunate coincidence. Since misfortune has led me here, so today, you all shall perish.”
A bolt of lightning had possessed Uren’s body.
Sadly, Sejun’s bad premonition was right on target.
It was clearly someone who would weaken the lightning energy of the Golden Tower.
With Theo and Uren’s synergy, things were spiraling out of control.
“I never get to rest…”
Grumbling, Sejun slowly approached Uren, holding Cuengi in front of him.
“Cuengi, hit him with the Thunderbolt Staff first.”
Cuengi pulled out the Thunderbolt Staff,
“How dare you strike me…”
And began beating Uren.
More precisely, he was hitting Raton, the entity possessing Uren’s body.
A little while later,
As Uren’s occasional screams of consciousness began to echo,
Unable to withstand Cuengi’s “exorcism”, Raton emerged from Uren’s body in the form of a yellow orb.
And just like last time, Cuengi devoured it.
“Cuengi, are you okay?”
[Hehehe. It tastes like a slightly tangy lemon.]
I wasn’t asking about the taste, but so it was lemon-flavored…
And with that single-line flavor review, Raton was completely erased.
[You have gained 150 billion experience points, 50% of the experience points Advanced Herbalist Park Cuengi acquired.]
Sejun received his share of the experience points.
Meanwhile, Poyo, the sand fairy that devours misfortune, licked away the well-aged misfortune from Uren.
“But there’s still one condition left before the Golden Tower can evolve…”
Sejun had not yet given up on his plan to rest in Daemon family.
[Sejun~nim did it! Now’s the time! Eat this and become the World Tree!]
Flamie No 101, which possessed 0.499% of Flamie’s power, provided nutrients to the lemon tree World Tree candidate on the 67th floor of the Golden Tower, allowing it to become a World Tree.
Unaware of this, Sejun,
“Sejun~nim, it’s time for lunch now.”
As he was getting up to eat lunch after lounging in the room provided by Yuto, the head of the Daemon family
‘Wait, why the Golden Tower?’
Sejun belatedly realized that the Golden Tower had evolved into a Great Tower.
Of course, he wasn’t unhappy about receiving a reward.
But what just happened?
It just felt a bit unsettling.
‘Now I have to go to the Brown Tower right away.’
He was a bit disappointed that his rest time had disappeared.
Just openly resting didn’t suit Sejun’s personality.
Thus, after having lunch, he returned to the Black Tower in just three hours.
-Sejun is truly a powerhouse! A Great Tower in three hours!
-What?! Three hours?!
Once again, the great dragons acknowledged his abilities.
“Kelkekel! Sejun~nim will be here soon! Hurry and prepare the food!”
Orik, the Tower Farmer of the Brown Tower, was preparing a traditional dish of the Red Goblin Tribe while eagerly awaiting Sejun.
“Something feels off…”
