Chapter 250 – He Harbors Treasonous Intent!

“Meow meow meow. Just a little further and I can see Chairman Park, meow!”

Dadadada.

Theo hurried his steps as White Castle was seen in the far distance.

At that moment,

Boom!

Along with a loud explosion, a black object broke through the wall of a tavern and flew toward Theo.

“What, meow?”

Theo leisurely avoided the object flying toward him and closely examined the object flying past his face.

‘Meow? Black… a skeleton, meow?’

Theo confirmed the identity of the object.

“What are you doing, meow?!”

Theo, thinking that they had attacked him with the skeleton, glared at the tavern where the skeleton had flown from and shouted.

At that,

“Ah. I am sorry. It was a mistake. I mean, why were you standing there… just get lost on your way.”

A monster with a sloppy attitude walked out of the tavern and answered.

“Meow?!”

Theo was greatly surprised looking at such a monster.

Step. Step.

Whether he knew it or not, the monster picked up the head of the skeleton he had just blown away, and

“How dare a lowly bottom-floor native speak to me, Paku-nim, who is from the 59th floor of the tower, without knowing their place?! Huh?!”

Thud! Thud!

He slammed it onto the ground and shouted.

“Kueuh…”

The skeleton had its jawbone dislocated, so it could not even answer and was only beaten miserably. It was a truly malicious bullying.

But no one around stopped it, not wanting to get involved in a useless matter.

At that moment,

“Stop, meow!”

Thwack!

Theo struck the back of the head of the monster bullying the skeleton with his front paw.

“Shoot! While I am personally educating a lowly bottom-floor fellow… who is interfering?! Huh?!”

Paku, who was hit on the back of the head and enraged, shouted with a murderous look, bloodshot eyes glaring.

With Theo’s skills, he could have sent Paku out of this world without much effort.

However, unlike Cuengi, Theo could control his force minutely. Theo struck with an intensity just enough to make Paku feel bad.

He was insolent, and there was also something to ask.

“Hey! Who hit the back of my head?!”

Paku, who did not perceive the movement of the entity that hit the back of his head at all, asked the party in the tavern.

At that,

Point.

The monsters quietly raised a finger and pointed at Theo.

They knew that Theo, who had struck the back of Paku’s head in the blink of an eye and returned to his spot, was a far stronger powerhouse than Paku.

But Paku was from the 59th floor of the tower. Both fists were scary, but the fist closest to them was somehow a bit scarier.

“What?! Was it you?! I told you to just get lost…?!”

Paku, who realized that the entity that hit him was Theo thanks to the other monsters, shouted while looking at Theo…

Slap!

He was hit in the face by Theo’s front paw, and his head turned 90 degrees. This time, it was a real slap, not healing.

“Huh?! Eek! How dare…”

Paku did not see Theo’s movement at all. Belatedly feeling the tingling in his face, Paku realized that he had been hit and became enraged, but

Slap! Slap!

Theo landed a double slap on such Paku.

“You… who I am…”

Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!

Theo tapped the face of Paku, who spoke useless words, again.

Slap! Slap!

Paku was hit by Theo like that and obtained dozens of blue paw prints on his face.

“I… I did not recognize a wonderful person. I am sorry! Please forgive me!”

Paku gained manners.

And,

‘What is your relationship with Scaram, you punk, meow?’

Theo asked Paku, who was ready to talk with him, about Scaram.

The reason Theo was surprised to see Paku was because Paku was a goblin.

Seeing Paku, who was a goblin, reminded him of Scaram, who had deceived him, so he asked. Somehow, a similar feeling came.

And,

“Scaram? Of course I know. He is my uncle! Ah. You know my uncle?!”

Theo’s intuition was accurate.

“Huh?!”

The complexion of Paku, who thought a loophole to survive arose at Theo’s question, brightened and then turned rapidly dark.

‘I am screwed.’

His uncle was a swindler of such bad quality that he was expelled from the village. Even his family members, like his grandmother and mother, shuddered whenever his uncle was mentioned.

If he was acquainted with such an uncle, there was no way they had been associated for a good matter.

Theo was unable to take revenge because Kaiser annihilated Scaram, whom he had brought, as soon as he saw him.

“Puhuhut. Is Scaram your uncle, meow?! That is great, meow! I owed a big favor to Scaram before, so I must pay it back now, meow!”

Theo, who was very badly associated with Scaram, smiled and pulled out a contract.

***

White Castle.

Kyurorong.

Hururuk.

Nyam.

“Yes. This is the taste.”

Se-jun wore a pleased smile while guarding the side of the sleeping Cuengi and eating the carrot cake bought earlier with the coffee the servant brought out.

At that moment,

[The Tower Administrator says she has completed the appraisal and taming of the items you entrusted.]

Along with Aileen’s words, two items appeared in Se-jun’s hand. They were the Holy Stone Piercing and the heart of Dark, the God of Darkness.

“Aileen, thank you.”

[The Tower Administrator says that between you and her, there is no need to thank her for such things.]

“Ah! Aileen, try eating this! It is sweet and delicious!”

Se-jun pulled out carrot cake and carrot ice cream from the sub-space warehouse and sent them to Aileen.

“It is delicious, right? I…”

While Se-jun was talking with Aileen,

-You are? Holy Stone Piercing?!

-Holy Stone Ice Cube?!

-Yes. It is me! Truly, it has been a long time! Have you been well? By the way, who is that person?

The Holy Stone Ice Cube asked, looking at the heart of Dark, the God of Darkness, which gave off an unusual feeling.

-I am the heart of Dark, the God of Darkness.

-Oh! You are a God?! It is an honor to meet you.

-Yes.

-It is truly for the best! In any case, I was looking for an opportunity to take this human’s body, so let’s join forces and take this human’s body!

The sudden proposal of the Holy Stone Ice Cube, which was harboring thoughts of nonsense as the effectiveness of Iona’s threat slowly wore off.

-?!

-?!

The Holy Stone Piercing and the heart of Dark, the God of Darkness were flustered by the Holy Stone Ice Cube’s proposal.

And,

‘It is an opportunity!’

In any case, they had been a bit uncomfortable because of the Holy Stone Ice Cube, who had taken a spot next to Se-jun first…

But to think the Holy Stone Ice Cube possessed such impure thoughts… it was completely thank you!

-Aileen-nim! The Holy Stone Ice Cube harbors treasonous intent!

-Aileen-nim! The Holy Stone Ice Cube is planning treason, targeting Se-jun-nim’s body!

In that way, the two reported the Holy Stone Ice Cube to Aileen at the same time.

And,

[The Tower Administrator asks if she can take a look at the Holy Stone you originally possessed.]

“Sure?”

Se-jun, who did not know the reason, obediently handed the Holy Stone Ice Cube to Aileen.

[The Tower Administrator asks if she can give it back a little later.]

“Yeah. I have no use for it right now.”

Along with Se-jun’s answer, Aileen began taming the Holy Stone Ice Cube by stomping on it.

“Shall we look at the options?”

Se-jun, who finished the conversation with Aileen, first examined the Holy Stone Piercing among the appraised items.

[Holy Stone Piercing]

It is a stone created by falling stars in the sky.

If you supply mana to the Holy Stone, you can pierce the desired target.

Owner: Tower Farmer Park Se-jun

Grade: S+

Usage Restriction: Mana 300 or higher

“To be able to pierce the desired target? Piercing.”

As Se-jun took out a sweet potato, placed it on the table, made a gun shape with his hand, aimed at the sweet potato, and injected mana into the Holy Stone,

Pooshung.

A hole the thickness of a finger was created in the sweet potato.

“Oh! It works! Can it be thinner? Piercing.”

Thinking that he wanted to pierce it thinner this time, Se-jun injected mana into the Holy Stone.

Pooshung.

This time, a hole the thickness of a ballpoint pen was created in the sweet potato.

“This is fun?”

Pooshung. Pooshung.

Se-jun took out a few more sweet potatoes and played, piercing holes thick and thin.

Se-jun, who pierced holes in the crops for a while like that, picked up the heart of Dark, the God of Darkness and examined it.

[Heart of Dark, the God of Darkness]

It is the heart of Dark, the God of Darkness.

99.99% of the power of Dark, the God of Darkness is sealed.

If you inject mana, it will be subordinated to the owner’s shadow and all stats increase by 5.

You can summon the shadow minions of Dark, the God of Darkness.

Owner: Tower Farmer Park Se-jun

Grade: Unmeasurable

Usage Restriction: Mana 300 or higher

“99.99% of the power is sealed?”

At that level, it had to be considered as having almost no ability.

But despite that, the fact that it had the ability to increase all stats by 5 and summon shadow minions meant that this item was that great.

“Indeed, since it is a God’s heart.”

Se-jun injected mana into the heart of Dark, the God of Darkness to subordinate it to his shadow.

At that,

Squish.

The heart of Dark, the God of Darkness turned into water, flowed down through Se-jun’s fingers, and fell to the floor,

Seureuk.

And seeped into Se-jun’s shadow.

[The heart of Dark, the God of Darkness has successfully been subordinated to the shadow of Tower Farmer Park Se-jun.]

[All stats increase by 5.]

Subsequently, a message indicating successful subordination appeared.

“Shadow minion.”

Once the heart was successfully subordinated to his shadow, Se-jun summoned a shadow minion.

Seeing the name minion, it was an existence that could work or fight on his behalf.

‘Hehehe. I can have it run water errands or various other errands, right?’

It seemed life would become convenient even if only one was summoned.

But,

[You lack the mana to summon a shadow minion.]

Se-jun’s mana was insufficient to summon even a single shadow minion.

“Ah. I should eat one more carrot cake.”

The disappointed Se-jun relieved his stress while eating sweet things.

And,

Sniff. Sniff.

Kkueng…?

Sniffing the sweet smell, Cuengi slowly opened his eyes.

***

“Stamp it quickly, meow!”

Theo urged while pushing the contract forward.

“Sob sob sob. Yes…”

Press.

Paku had no choice but to stamp under Theo’s coercion.

And,

“Huh?!”

[Party A: Theo Park]

[Party B: Paku]

Belatedly, he discovered Theo’s name above his own name.

“By… by any chance, are you the golden cat Theo-nim, the subordinate of the Black Dragon?”

“That is right, meow! Work hard from now on, meow!”

“Yes!”

In that way, in a daze, Paku got employed at Se-jun’s farm, which everyone envied these days.

At that moment,

“Kueuh…”

The skeleton, who heard Theo’s name from beside, spoke something enthusiastically while looking at Theo.

“What is he saying, meow? Paku, go find this guy’s jawbone, meow!”

“Yes!”

As Theo, who could not understand the skeleton’s words, instructed Paku,

“We greet Theo Park-nim! Here it is.”

The monsters in the tavern, who were listening to the conversation of Theo and Paku, hurriedly brought the remaining parts of the Black Skeleton, and

Clatter. Clatter.

Assembled them. It was to look good to Theo and receive the Dragon Tooth Soldier helmet first.

When the skeleton was completely assembled like that,

“Theo Park-nim, please bestow the Dragon Tooth Soldier helmet upon me! My kin on the 4th floor of the tower are dying!”

The Black Skeleton, who became able to speak properly, begged Theo to bestow the Dragon Tooth Soldier helmet.

“How dare a bottom-floor…”

Paku, who had to receive the Dragon Tooth Soldier helmet himself too, got excited when the Black Skeleton brought up the story first without knowing his place.

But,

Thwack!

“Uggh!”

“Be quiet, meow!”

He was hit on the back of the head by Theo and restrained.

“Tell me what is going on, meow!”

“Yes. I am Onyx, a Black Skeleton from the 4th floor of the tower. These days, the humans…”

Black Skeleton Onyx began to speak to Theo about the situation on the 4th floor of the tower.
