Chapter 296 – You Fool! This Way!

Step. Step.

[Lady Flamie, someone is heading to Master Se-jun’s house! It’s a thief!]

When Podori discovered and reported a thief invading Se-jun’s farm,

[How dare they enter Master’s farm?!]

Flamie was furious.

However,

[Huh?! Aren’t you going to catch the thief?]

[Let’s watch for now.]

She did not take any action.

‘I must see if Kkamang-i is a trustworthy fellow through this opportunity.’

Fenril had been emitting an unpleasant energy ever since Theo brought him. Flamie could not trust Fenril.

So she decided to test whether it was okay to keep Fenril by Se-jun’s side.

[Kkamang-i, what will you do?]

Flamie watched Fenril.

***

Whimper… Whimper…?!

[Wicked bastards… what did I do so wrong…?!]

Fenril was spanked on his butt with a Mushroom Ant’s antenna.

Grinding his teeth in humiliation, he sat in front of Se-jun’s house. Very quietly.

Because if he wandered around for no reason and got caught by the Mushroom Ants, he might get spanked again.

However,

Kking! Kking!

[This body is none other than Lord Fenril, the God-Hunting Wolf and the 1st Seat of the Apostles of Destruction! Come at me, everyone!]

Fenril quickly recovered his confidence and

Trot! Trot!

began exploring the farm again with energetic steps.

While Fenril was diligently moving around the farm yard like that,

Step. Step.

something approached with cautious steps.

Although it was not visible, it was felt that it was close.

Kking?! Kking!

[How dare you enter my territory so fearlessly?! Back off!]

Fenril barked loudly toward the direction where the intruder was felt.

At that, the thief suddenly revealed his appearance in empty air.

“What?! This dog?! There must be something over there, right?”

Thump!

Yip!

The thief kicked Fenril away to chase him off and tried to enter Se-jun’s house.

However,

Kking! Kking!

[That is the house of the guy who gives me delicious things! And this body is… Lord Fenril, the Apostle of Destruction!]

Bite.

Fenril, who wanted to earn his keep, bit down hard with all his strength on the foot of the thief who was trying to enter Se-jun’s house. I will absolutely not let you go!

“Ugh! This damn dog! I’m already annoyed to death!”

The thief, who felt a slight pain from Fenril’s full-force bite, frowned and expressed irritation.

The thief Camel had stolen a party invitation and entered the 99th floor of the tower.

He had come to the 99th floor of the tower aiming for a fortune at one stroke, but there was nothing to steal here other than crops.

So his mood was not good, but…

since even a dog got on his nerves, Camel reached the limit of his patience.

“Die!”

Slash.

Camel drew his sword and swung it toward Fenril without hesitation.

Kking!

[I shall dodge that trivial attack!]

Fenril tried to dodge the sword lightly.

The trajectory of the sword was so clear that even if he wanted to be hit, he couldn’t…

Kking? Whimper…

[Wait, I can? I can’t dodge it…]

The sword was getting closer, but his body was still in the same place.

Whimper…

[Ah… I became weak, didn’t I…]

Because his body’s ability did not support him, he could not dodge even such an obviously pathetic attack.

Whimper… Whimper…

[For me to die so vainly like this here… How regretful. I wanted to eat that yellow, chewy thing one more time…]

Fenril felt regretful that he couldn’t eat more dried roasted sweet potato as he looked at the sword that had approached right in front of him.

At that moment,

Kkueng!

[You must not touch Kkamang-i, da-yo!]

Bang!

Using telekinesis, Cuengi blew the thief away with a body slam.

Camel was crushed to death by the overwhelming physical force, leaving not even a trace.

“Kkamang-i, are you okay?”

Se-jun, who rushed over belatedly, examined Fenril’s body to see if he was injured anywhere.

Kking? Kking! Kking

[Where did you go? I almost died! Because you weren’t here, the kids hit me!]

Upon seeing Se-jun, Fenril’s sorrow suddenly exploded and he whined to Se-jun.

And,

‘He has no ability, but he has loyalty (?). Kkamang-i, you pass. Let’s work together in the future.’

From Se-jun’s shoulder, Flamie watched Fenril with a pleased expression.

While they dealt with the thief who broke into Se-jun’s house and rescued Fenril like that,

“Meow? Why is Yuren here, meow?”

Theo, who remained to receive the slave contracts, looked at Yuren standing in front of him and asked.

It was because he remembered Yuren buying an invitation from him.

“Hahaha. That… someone stole it.”

The owner of the invitation Camel stole was Yuren. As expected, Yuren was diligently unfortunate.

“ !”

“Hahaha. I know, right.”

“Good, meow! I will specially let Yuren off, meow!”

Looking at Yuren, Theo specially showed cat-mercy.

“Ah. Thank you!”

As Yuren was about to leave at Theo’s words,

“Yuren, where are you going, meow?!”

Theo grabbed Yuren.

“Yes?! You just said you would let me off?”

“Puhuhut. Since I’m letting Yuren off specially, it’s half a year of slavery, meow! Stamp your paw print, meow!”

“Ah… thank you.”

Press.

Yuren stamped his foot print on the contract Theo handed over.

***

“What should I do?”

Se-jun fell into thought as he looked at the bustling crowd in the tower.

But they were guests who came to his party. Since it had turned out this way, he decided to enjoy the party together.

“Then, what should the menu be?”

While Se-jun was contemplating over the menu selection,

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[Stay still! Kkamang-i, sit!]

Cuengi held the dried roasted sweet potato and trained Fenril.

Kking! Kking!

‘You bear, hand over my food! That’s mine!’

Of course, the noble wolf Fenril did not listen to Cuengi.

Fortunately, Cuengi could not understand Fenril’s words.

At that moment,

“Cuengi, you shouldn’t do it like that.”

Se-jun, who was thinking about the menu, saw what Cuengi was doing and spoke. Huhut. I know a bit about this since I watched it on YouTube.

“Kkamang-i.”

When Se-jun called Fenril,

Kking? Kking!

‘Ah. Why are you calling? Just give me food quickly!’

Fenril, who had recognized his own name before he knew it, turned his head at Se-jun’s call and expressed annoyance.

“Kkamang-i, s-i-t.”

When Se-jun brought his hand holding the dried roasted sweet potato over Fenril’s head like that,

Kking! Kking!

‘I’m hungry! Give it to me quickly!’

Fenril raised his head to look at the dried roasted sweet potato,

Sit.

and as his head went up, his butt naturally touched the floor.

Wag. Wag.

Vigorously wagging his tail and sweeping the floor was a bonus.

“Kkamang-i, well done. Here.”

When Se-jun gave the dried roasted sweet potato along with praise to Fenril who sat on the floor,

Kking!

‘It’s food!’

Munch. Munch. Munch.

Fenril received the dried roasted sweet potato from Se-jun’s hand and ate it hurriedly.

And,

Tap. Tap.

Kking! Kking?! Kking!

‘I finished it! You think this will fill my stomach?! Give me one more!’

Fenril, who had finished a piece of dried roasted sweet potato in an instant, tapped Se-jun’s foot with his front paw and called Se-jun.

“Kkamang-i, sit.”

Se-jun trained him to sit again.

Kking! Kking!

‘Geez! So annoying!’

Sit.

At Se-jun’s words, Fenril sat down again, placing his butt on the floor.

“Oh! I must be a genius! I made him master sitting in just two tries!”

Se-jun had only watched sit-training a few times on YouTube.

When Fenril succeeded in sitting by his training, the thought ‘Was this my aptitude?’ arose in his mind.

‘Come to think of it, there are a lot of animals around me.’

It was correct to some extent, but not this time. It was just that Fenril was smart.

“Kkamang-i, sit.”

Kking. Kking.

‘Just give it to me. I’m doing this because it’s you.’

Sit.

Like that, Fenril perfectly mastered ‘sit’.

Kkueng!

[Kkamang-i, sit!]

Kking!

‘Don’t be ridiculous!’

He did not even pretend to hear Cuengi’s words.

Kkueng!

[Kkamang-i, you’ll be in trouble if you don’t listen to older brother, da-yo!]

When Cuengi tried to scold Fenril with a somewhat strict face,

Trot. Trot.

Fenril quickly climbed onto the top of Se-jun’s left foot while Se-jun was contemplating the menu, and

Kking. Kking.

‘Hey. He is bullying me. Scold him.’

scratched Se-jun’s leg, whining for protection.

Fenril had recognized Se-jun as his guardian.

***

The 53rd floor of the Purple Tower.

Stagger. Stagger.

Veronica, who returned from the 99th floor of the tower due to the call of Tier Peten, the head of the Purple Dragon Clan, walked toward the farm with unstable steps.

At that moment,

“Cough. Cough.”

Veronica coughed and spat out a huge amount of purple blood.

The purple blood soaked the ground.

Hiss.

Even the ground, which already contained significant toxicity, could not withstand the extreme poison in Veronica’s blood and began to melt.

Wipe.

“Phew. I should recuperate for a few days.”

Veronica, whose stomach felt a bit more comfortable after vomiting blood, began to walk toward the farm again with unstable steps.

A few hours ago.

“Lady Flamie, Lord Tier called me, so I will be back shortly.”

[Go ahead.]

Veronica went to see Tier Peten after being summoned.

The reason Tier summoned Veronica was to check if she had found crops effective for dragons.

Fortunately, Veronica had found several crops with Flamie’s help, and

“Here they are.”

proudly showed the crops to Tier.

However,

—Are you ignoring my words?! Bring crops that are effective for dragons, not this kind of tasteless garbage!

Tier, who tasted the crops, was furious at Veronica.

The crops Veronica brought had no effect on dragons, and moreover, they tasted bad.

Rumble.

The angry Tier’s energy fluctuated greatly, and the toxicity contained in the energy spread around, poisoning Veronica.

In such a poisoned state, Veronica arrived at the farm on the 53rd floor of the tower.

“Lady Flamie, I’m back… I’m going to rest a bit…”

Plop.

As soon as Veronica arrived at the farm, she leaned against Flamie’s root and lost consciousness.

[Veronica, are you okay?]

Flamie called Veronica, but

“……”

Veronica was already in a fainted state.

[Huh?! Veronica, you are poisoned? Don’t worry. I will detoxify you! Hiya!]

Flamie, who examined Veronica’s body, detoxified the poison accumulated in Veronica’s body with the Purification Flame.

However,

[Huh?! Why is your skin color changing?]

The power of purification was too excessive, turning Veronica’s black skin pure white.

It was because the poisons Veronica had painstakingly balanced and accumulated using the principle of fighting poison with poison to cultivate poison resistance were cleanly detoxified.

A moment later,

“Ugh! Huh?! Why is it like this?!”

Veronica, who regained consciousness, was flustered because the toxicity, which should have been as comfortable as breathing, felt uncomfortable.

And,

“Aargh! The Dark Elf’s secret method has disappeared!”

Veronica screamed as she realized her poison resistance had disappeared.

“Lady Flamie, why is my body like this?!”

[…Well. I don’t know.]

Flamie feigned ignorance.

“Lady Flamie, what should I do?”

Veronica, who could no longer live in the Purple Tower, requested help from Flamie.

Although she was holding out against the toxicity with mana, there was a limit.

[Don’t worry. I have a good way.]

“What is it?”

[Go to the Black Tower.]

“The Black Tower? Will it be okay for me to go?”

[Of course. Master Se-jun will help Veronica. While you are at it, take this too.]

Flamie handed the Purple Tower land deed she possessed to Veronica.

Although things got a bit tangled, thanks to this, Flamie was able to give Se-jun a gift.

[You must absolutely not talk about me.]

She cautioned her not to reveal the secret about herself.

“Yes! Then I will go right away!”

Rustle.

Veronica hurriedly spread open the land deed of the Black Tower’s 99th floor farm she possessed.

***

“Earth Raising.”

When Se-jun struck the ground with Myler’s hoe,

Rumble.

a giant furnace was created in the front yard of the house.

The number of party participants was as many as 1 million. Since it was not a scale that could be handled in the kitchen, a giant furnace was needed.

“Cuengi.”

Kkueng!

[Understood, da-yo!]

Thud. Thud.

At Se-jun’s instruction, the giant-sized Cuengi placed an extra-large pot on top of the furnace. It was none other than the crab shell pot.

“Lord Kaiser, water please.”

—Understood.

At Se-jun’s request, Kaiser flew over and filled it with water, and

Snap.

Se-jun lit the furnace with the fire he created by snapping his fingers.

Whoosh.

While they were waiting for the water to boil like that,

[The rightful owner with the land deed of the Black Tower’s 99th floor farm has appeared.]

[If you do not want to have the farm you worked hard to cultivate taken away, subdue the opponent.]

the message appeared.

“What?! Rightful owner?! Of course I will subdue them!”

As Se-jun looked around to find the target to subdue,

“Oh?!”

an existence with a height of 3 meters, pure white skin, and a rugged muscular body was visible. It was Veronica.

Rumble.

An immense pressure was felt from Veronica.

‘She’s strong?’

Just as Se-jun was about to call Cuengi in a hurry,

Kneel.

“It is an honor to meet Tower Farmer Se-jun of the Black Tower! I am Veronica, the tower farmer of the Purple Tower!”

Veronica knelt toward the giant-sized Cuengi, showing respect, and shouted.

Kkueng?

‘You fool! This way!’

Flutter. Flutter.

Flamie hurriedly shook her leaves on Se-jun’s shoulder.

However,

Sulking.

Se-jun’s feelings were already hurt.
