Chapter 255 – It’s This Guy

The plaza on the 1st floor of the Black Tower.

Hunters who evacuated to avoid the sudden bombardment that occurred on the 4th floor of the tower were filling the plaza.

And,

Murmuring, murmuring.

The hunters conversed with one another to grasp what was happening.

Among those hunters,

“What?! A cat swung its front paw in the sky, and the experience farm dozens of kilometers away turned to dust?”

“Yeah! I saw it while I was at the summit of Mount Kaizal! I’m telling you, I saw a yellow cat and a brown baby bear floating in the sky destroying the farm by swinging their front paws!”

A bald hunter who was 2m tall and muscular all over waved his arms and explained the scene he had seen on the 4th floor of the tower.

However,

“What?! A cat? A baby bear? What nonsense… this guy has lost his mind. Lekton, snap out of it.”

“I’m telling you it’s true!”

The companions ignored and mocked Lekton’s words. It was fortunate that they did not see Iona on Theo’s tail.

Because if he had said a small and cute pure white hamster created a huge fire storm and swept away the experience farm, he would have been mocked even more.

No. He might have been completely branded as a liar, and the hunters might not have associated with him at all.

“It’s true…”

As Lekton felt wronged by the neglect of the surrounding hunters and quietly kept his mouth shut,

“Excuse me, could you tell me more about that story earlier? Did you really see a yellow cat and a brown baby bear?”

A black-haired man approached and asked.

It was Kim Dong-sik, who had been heading to the 41st floor of the tower to receive the supply of Solid Blade Green Onions and Detoxifying Green Onions, but stopped his steps and listened at the mention of a yellow cat and a baby bear.

“Yes! I’m telling you it’s true! I have a photo here too!”

When Kim Dong-sik showed interest in his words, Lekton hurriedly showed Kim Dong-sik the photo he had taken with his hunter phone to resolve his grievance.

“Theo is on the 4th floor.”

Thanks to that, Kim Dong-sik could know that Theo was on the 4th floor. The baby bear next to him was definitely the fourth sibling, Cuengi, whom Theo had always talked about.

“But they said Cuengi is stuck to his dad like glue and never leaves Se-jun-nim’s side?”

Could Se-jun-nim be on the 4th floor of the tower? As Kim Dong-sik’s thoughts reached that point,

“Here is 10 Tower Coins. If you go to my master, show him this photo, and deliver what you said to me exactly, I will give you an additional 10 Tower Coins.”

“Really? Who should I go to?”

Kim Dong-sik promised the reward and sent Lekton to Han Tae-jun.

And,

‘If it’s master, he will surely come to the 4th floor of the tower to meet Se-jun-nim.’

Kim Dong-sik headed to the 4th floor of the tower to find Se-jun in advance before Han Tae-jun arrived.

***

“Unhahaha. Cancel that! Mana is overflowing! Throw Thunder!”

Boom! Crash!

Se-jun, who no longer had to worry about mana depletion thanks to continuously receiving mana charging from Iona.

Thanks to that, Se-jun was able to drop huge streams of thunderbolts toward the Black Skeletons without resting for several hours.

And,

Chiik.

[The evil-expelling power contained in the thunder purifies the power that opposes providence.]

[The control of Immortal, the Undead King, over Riman’s soul is completely released.]

[The soul of Riman, who was controlled by Immortal, the Undead King, is liberated.]

…

..

.

Under Se-jun’s thunderbolt attacks that continued since morning, five souls were simultaneously liberated from Immortal.

“Thank you for giving us peace. The only thing we, whose souls are not even intact, can offer Se-jun-nim is a bit of humble enlightenment regarding the martial arts we have realized. Please accept our enlightenment.”

Seureureuk.

The five Black Skeletons turned into pure white powder and rested in peace,

Float, float.

And the five white light spheres left by the five knights approached Se-jun and were absorbed.

[Knight Riman imparts his enlightenment.]

[You have learned Beginner Martial Arts Lv. 1.]

[The proficiency of Beginner Martial Arts Lv. 1 has been filled, and the level increases.]

[The proficiency of Beginner Martial Arts Lv. 2 has been filled, and the level increases.]

…

..

.

[You have mastered Beginner Martial Arts.]

[You have learned Intermediate Martial Arts Lv. 1.]

[The proficiency of Intermediate Martial Arts Lv. 1 has been filled, and the level increases.]

Along with the message, Se-jun newly learned Intermediate Martial Arts Lv. 2 and Beginner Archery Lv. 5, and was able to raise the levels of Intermediate Sword Mastery and Intermediate Shield Mastery by one each.

Swish. Swish.

Se-jun, who obtained the new skills, threw punches.

Whoosh.

“Oh!”

Se-jun’s punching, which certainly carried full power unlike before. The wind created by his fist was strong enough to push a person away. ‘Hehehe. Quite useful?!’

“It’s a relief Theo and Cuengi aren’t here.”

Because if they had seen him rejoicing at creating wind with his punching just now, they would have definitely stepped forward saying they would show their own punching…

“And I would have realized the insignificance of my punching…”

Since Theo and Cuengi were fellows who broke mountains and created storms with their punches.

But fortunately, the two were not here.

When Theo set out following the pull, saying he felt a pull in his front paw, Cuengi saw Theo and went along with him, saying his oldest brother was treasure hunting.

Bam, bam.

While Se-jun was testing his kicks following his punches like that,

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park! I obtained something good, meow!”

Kkuhehehe. Cuengi!

[Hehehe. Big brother found it, but Cuengi brought it!]

Theo and Cuengi, who wore a thick golden necklace around his neck, approached.

It seemed Theo handed it over to Cuengi because he was too lazy to carry it, but for everyone’s happiness, he did not say such words.

“Hehehe. Our Cuengi looks luxurious?”

Instead, he praised Cuengi.

It was true that Cuengi looked luxurious. Our Cuengi usually walked around naked, but if he only wore clothes, he could pull off any clothing.

The completion of fashion was Cuengi. Should he call him the Fashion King Cuengi?

Cling.

Cling.

The two who returned like that naturally clung to Se-jun’s knees, and

Cuengi!

[Dad, here it is!]

Cuengi handed the golden necklace he was wearing around his neck to Se-jun.

“Yes. Thank you.”

Stroke, stroke.

Se-jun, who received the golden necklace, stroked Theo’s and Cuengi’s heads and said.

“But what is this? It doesn’t seem to be just gold.”

Se-jun examined the golden necklace closely. There was no way Theo’s front paw would be pulled just because it was gold.

[Golden Chain of Sacred Seal]

It is an equipment made to seal Immortal, the Undead King.

Blacksmiths of great skill made the golden chain and engraved an exquisite magic circle,

High-level wizards activated the magic circle,

And saintesses of ten denominations injected their divine power to make it.

The ability to seal unclean things is outstanding.

Usage Restriction: Magic Power 100 or higher

Creator: Saintess Mayrin and 999 others

Grade: S+

The golden necklace Cuengi wore on his neck was the golden chain that had been sealing Immortal’s sarcophagus.

“It wasn’t a necklace, but a chain? No wonder it was thick…”

Se-jun said while looking at the item description.

“But this is an equipment made to seal Immortal?”

Just how many bad deeds did he do that 1,000 people made something like this to seal this one fellow?

“This guy is a really bad fellow.”

Se-jun said while looking at Immortal, who was pressed flat on the floor due to Iona’s gravity magic.

“Hmph! I am not bad! The weaklings who died to me are the ones who are bad!”

“What?! Then are you saying I am bad?!”

Se-jun, who was usually weaker than those around him and treated as a weakling every day, was enraged at Immortal’s answer.

And,

“Hey. Summon the Black Skeletons.”

He decided to quickly let the souls under Immortal’s control rest in peace and defeat Immortal.

Because according to Iona’s judgment after examining Immortal from the side, if all the souls Immortal controlled were liberated, Immortal’s immortality would also disappear.

“Make Dark Cloud! Make Rain!”

Just as Se-jun prepared to attack the Black Skeletons again,

Growl.

A sound heard vibrating his leg.

“Huh?”

As Se-jun looked at his leg,

Kkuhehehe.

Cuengi looked at Se-jun with an expression full of expectation. ‘Cuengi is hungry!’ Come to think of it, it was time to eat lunch. As expected, Cuengi’s belly clock was accurate.

“Cuengi, wait just a moment. Throw Thunder.”

Se-jun prepared lunch while dropping thunderbolts on the Black Skeletons in between.

***

The 99th floor of the tower.

Ukki! Ukki!

The monkeys politely brought the completed Samyangju to the dragons.

-Oh! Is it finished?!

To be precise, to Kaiser, who had reserved the Samyangju first. Kaiser took 1,000 bottles of Samyangju with a pleased expression.

And,

-Sluuup.

-Sluuup.

Since they had to wait a few more days for the Samyangju they reserved, Kellion and Ramtor, who were endlessly envious of Kaiser, stared intently at Kaiser’s Samyangju.

Ramtor had already changed it to the Red Dragon statue newly made by Udon. The existing armor was just thrown on the farm.

-Khehehe.

Pop.

Feeling the gaze of the two, Kaiser opened the lid of the Samyangju with a triumphant expression. The mellow aroma wafted around as soon as the bottle was opened.

-Should I give you some?

As Kaiser asked while looking at the two who could not take their eyes off the liquor bottle,

-Yes!

-Yeah!

Nod. Nod.

The two answered while nodding their heads vigorously.

-Khehehe. Good. I will especially share the liquor.

As Kaiser was showing off and trying to share the liquor with the two like that,

-What?! Dragons at the 10th tower?

-An Apostle of Destruction at the 10th tower?!

-Halphas, you say?!

All three received the report about the 10th tower simultaneously.

And,

-Let’s see each other in a bit.

-Okay.

-See you outside.

To save the dragons at the 10th tower and fight Halphas, the heads of each dragon tribe headed toward the 10th tower, each leading 100 elite dragons.

***

“Throw Thunder!”

When he was attacking the Black Skeletons for about two hours after eating lunch,

Boom! Crash!

[The evil-expelling power contained in the thunder purifies the power that opposes providence.]

[The control of Immortal, the Undead King, over Urid’s soul is completely released.]

[The soul of Urid, who was controlled by Immortal, the Undead King, is liberated.]

…

..

.

At once, 20 souls were liberated from Immortal in a bunch. It was the result of the evil-expelling power continuously weakening Immortal’s control.

Seureuk.

As he absorbed the white light spheres left by the knights, he newly learned Beginner Axe Mastery and raised it to level 7, and

[You have mastered Intermediate Sword Mastery.]

[You have learned Advanced Sword Mastery Lv. 1.]

[The proficiency of Advanced Sword Mastery Lv. 1 has been filled, and the level increases.]

[The proficiency of Advanced Sword Mastery Lv. 2 has been filled, and the level increases.]

By mastering the Intermediate Sword Mastery skill, he was able to raise the skill level of Advanced Sword Mastery to 3.

Thereafter, since Immortal’s control over the souls was already weakened to the limit, more knights’ souls rested in peace, and

[You have leveled up.]

[You have obtained 1 bonus stat.]

In the process, Se-jun leveled up to level 68, and the level of the Thunder Rain skill rose once more.

Thanks to that, the evil-expelling power became stronger, making the speed of the souls being liberated even faster.

“Throw Thunder.”

[You have defeated the first sword of Immortal, the Undead King.]

[You have obtained 1,000,000 EXP.]

In that way, Se-jun defeated all the summoned Black Skeletons and,

“Summon again.”

When Se-jun spoke to Immortal,

“Absolutely not! Not even if I die!”

Immortal began to rebel.

Currently, the number of souls Immortal controlled was ten, from the first sword to the tenth sword, which he controlled the most strongly.

Because if even they were liberated from him, he would eventually die.

“Is it really not even if you die?”

“Yes! Absolutely not!”

Immortal answered firmly to Se-jun’s question. Se-jun eventually decided to use his last resort.

“Aileen, this guy is resisting…”

Snitching to Aileen.

And,

[The Tower Administrator asks who dares to resist you.]

It’s this guy.

Se-jun quietly pointed at Immortal.
