Chapter 405 – Sister Sylvia, Do You Want to Follow Me for a Moment

The Black Tower Administrator Area.

[The performance of Black Tower Middle Administrator and Tower Farmer Park Se-jun increases by 1.]

…

..

.

“Khehehe. It is rising well.”

Aileen watched Se-jun’s contribution points accumulate joyfully today as well.

Nom.

Moreover, eating the Sotteok Sotteok Se-jun gave her in between made her feel like she had the whole world.

At that moment,

“Aileen, what is that?”

“It looks delicious.”

voices were heard from behind.

“Kheng?”

When Aileen hurriedly turned around, six hatchlings were drooling, looking at the Sotteok Sotteok next to Aileen.

‘When did they come?’

She seemed to have not heard the sound because she was distracted by the crystal ball.

She had been eating slowly to save it…

Hiding it after the hatchlings saw the Sotteok Sotteok was a bad move. It might make their feelings bad.

“Sisters, brothers. Our Se-jun made this, so try eating it once.”

So Aileen gave the hatchlings Sotteok Sotteok one by one and promoted Se-jun’s new food.

“Oh! Really?!”

“Is the name Sotteok Sotteok? The name is fascinating.”

“If it’s Park Se-jun’s food, we can trust it.”

“I’m looking forward to it!”

The excited hatchlings received the Sotteok Sotteok one by one from Aileen and began to eat it.

And

“This is really delicious! Aileen, I will buy this!”

“I will buy it too! How much is it?”

The hatchlings who ate the Sotteok Sotteok, without exception, actively expressed their intention to purchase.

“It is 10 Tower Coins each.”

Aileen quoted a price that was neither too expensive nor too cheap to the dragons.

“10 Tower Coins? Got it! Mom!”

“Dad!”

The hatchlings ran to their parent dragons to beg them to buy Sotteok Sotteok. No, one hatchling remained.

“Sister Sylvia, why aren’t you going?”

When Aileen asked Sylvia, who was staying still,

“Aileen, tell Park Se-jun that Sylvia wants to marry him. Sylvia will marry Park Se-jun and eat delicious food for the rest of her life!”

‘How about that?! Isn’t Sylvia a genius?!’

Sylvia, drawing a big picture, said with a proud expression while looking at Aileen.

“What?! You want to marry… whom?!”

Surprised by Sylvia’s bombshell declaration, Aileen asked back in great confusion,

“Sylvia will marry Park Se-jun!”

Sylvia answered loudly once again.

“Sister Sylvia, do you want to follow me for a moment?”

“Oh! Is Park Se-jun already asking to meet? Hehe. Sylvia is embarrassed.”

“Just follow me for now.”

As Aileen dragged Sylvia to a secluded place,

[Theo Park, subordinate of Black Tower Farmer Park Se-jun, says that President Park is in danger.]

“What?! Why is our Se-jun in danger??”

Aileen hurriedly ran to the crystal ball and looked for Se-jun,

“Grandfather!”

and hurriedly called Kaiser.

***

‘Heh. Finally, I’m getting my core in my hands!’

Fenrir threw his body toward the black bead embedded in the staff, confident that he would absolutely not fail this time.

Se-jun was focusing on reading the messages.

Beside Se-jun, Cuengi, sticking his butt close, was counting the allowance to use when shopping.

Theo was looking only at Se-jun’s face, waiting for Se-jun’s praise.

Iona was looking at Theo warmly.

Everyone was paying no attention to Fenrir and the core fragment.

‘Now, the true worth of me, Fenrir, the noble wolf who hunts the 1st Seat of the Apostles of Destruction…’

When Fenrir left only 10cm of distance between himself and the core fragment like that,

Thud.

Yip!

Fenrir crashed to the floor, hitting his head against something pink that smelled savory.

Kking?!

‘What was that?!’

As Fenrir hurriedly raised his head,

“Puhuhut. No, meow! This belongs to President Park, meow!”

Theo, the thief-catching expert, was maintaining an iron-clad defense by blocking the staff with his front paw.

Kking!

‘That is mine!’

Fenrir threatened Theo, growling fiercely in his own way, but

“The youngest is ill-mannered, meow!”

rather, Theo raised his front paw to scold Fenrir.

Pat. Pat.

Kking!

‘Butler! He’s hitting me!’

Fenrir hurriedly hid behind Se-jun, asking for help.

As Fenrir hid behind Se-jun like that,

“Kkamang-i, that is dirty. Let’s play with this.”

Se-jun gave a purified core fragment to Fenrir.

However,

Kking!

‘That’s yours! I will have that one! Core! Come to me!’

Fenrir rejected the purified core fragment Se-jun was giving him and barked loudly toward the core fragment in the staff.

Plop.

As if responding to Fenrir’s shout, the core fragment fell off from the tip of the staff.

The separated core fragment fell to the floor like that, and

Crack.

cracked.

Kking?

‘There is no way the core would crack…’

While Fenrir was wondering,

Wooosh.

a massive amount of red energy surged out from between the cracks in the core fragment, starting to form a giant shape.

And

—I am Fenrir, the wolf who hunts the 1st Seat of the Apostles of Destruction. Who called me?

It was a voice coming from the giant shape.

Because Fenrir’s core fragment had been separated from Fenrir for a long time and was even split into several pieces, Fenrir’s dominance was greatly weakened.

Thus, inside the core where much power was contained, Fenrir’s residual thoughts began to consider itself as Fenrir and possessed a will.

Kking? Kking!

‘What? The wolf Fenrir who hunts the 1st Seat of the Apostles of Destruction is me! You are just my core!’

When Fenrir barked at the core fragment impersonating him,

“Tha… that…”

‘What is that?!’

Se-jun choked on the giant pressure crushing him.

“Sister Aileen, we have an emergency, meow! President Park is in danger, meow!”

Theo hurriedly asked Aileen for help when an opponent they could not handle appeared, and

Kkueng!

[Everyone, run away!]

meanwhile, Cuengi packed up the party with telekinesis and hurriedly distanced themselves from the red energy.

And

“Kkyutkkyutkkyut. Power of gravity, tear the enemy apart! Triple Mega Black Hole!”

Iona bought time, using her strongest magic that opened a giant black hole from three directions at the red energy.

As Se-jun and the party fled from the red energy like that,

—Cuengi, thank you. Se-jun-nim won’t be able to see now, right?

Flamie, relieved, began to use her power in earnest.

Creak. Creak.

Giant roots emerged from the floor and began to wrap widely around the red energy.

It was to prevent damage to Se-jun and the party in the upcoming fight.

In an instant, a 100-meter-high wall wrapping around the red energy was created.

The power of the red energy tried to annihilate everything around it, but it could not exert power against Flamie’s roots.

It was thanks to the reward Se-jun obtained by making the locusts on Earth extinct.

While Flamie blocked the red energy like that, the gathered red energy took on a complete form.

It was a giant wolf resembling Fenrir.

—Auuuuu!

When the wolf roared,

Kaboom!

Flamie’s roots that wrapped around the area exploded from the impact, but

—You can never leave here!

fortunately, there were dozens of layers of roots behind them. It was Flamie’s will to protect Se-jun.

Creak. Creak.

New roots grew rapidly and filled the empty spaces.

At that moment,

“You fellow! How dare destruction itself set foot here!”

Kaiser descended in front of the giant wolf Fenrir.

—Dare? How disrespectful of a mere dragon in front of me, Lord Fenrir, the wolf who hunts gods!

“Hmph! You who are not even half of what you were!”

—What?!

While the giant Fenrir flared up at Kaiser’s words,

“Disappear quickly! Our Se-jun will get tired!”

Roaaar!

Kaiser shot a breath at the giant Fenrir.

Thanks to Flamie, his energy was not going outside, but Flamie could not keep holding out forever.

While Kaiser’s breath headed toward the giant Fenrir like that,

Creak. Creak.

the roots grew rapidly, blocking even the ceiling completely.

After a while,

Boom.

the roots swelled up and then turned to dust and disappeared, and there was nothing left where the giant Fenrir had been except a giant hemispherical crater.

And

—Kahahahaha. Is our Se-jun okay?! Since I defeated Fenrir, rest assured!

Kaiser moved the Black Dragon statue to visit Se-jun, who had evacuated to a cave, carrying a massive amount of money.

“Here.”

—Kahahahaha. Thank you.

Kaiser bought 10 +2 Transcendence Black Beans from Se-jun with the money obtained from defeating the giant Fenrir,

and paid 1.5 trillion Tower Coins as an advance payment while making a contract to entrust the next dragon assembly to Se-jun.

‘Khehehe. Now there isn’t much left until Yong-Yong Market VVIP.’

Kaiser returned to the fountain, deciding that he would be the first to become VVIP this time.

Once the transaction was finished, Se-jun moved back to the place where the giant Fenrir had been with the party.

Since he could not watch the fight, he intended to look at at least its trace.

“Wow.”

While Se-jun admired the trace made by Kaiser’s breath,

Kking!

‘My core!’

Fenrir came out of the sling bag and ran toward the crater. He could not believe it. For his core to disappear.

However, even though the slope of the crater was gentle, it was at an overwhelming level for Fenrir.

Kking?

Fenrir, who was running down the crater, tripped and rolled down to the center of the crater.

Fenrir, who arrived at the center of the crater like that.

Slither.

Kking?!

Something began to be absorbed into Fenrir’s body.

The core had shattered from Kaiser’s breath, and the central point had disappeared, scattering the power, but Fenrir, who possessed the familiar power, had appeared.

Although it was a microscopic amount of power compared to the power originally contained in the core fragment,

‘It’s the power of my core!’

it was so welcome to Fenrir, who had almost given up.

While Fenrir was rejoicing as he regained some of his power like that,

“Kkamang-i, are you okay?”

Se-jun arrived at the center of the crater, following Fenrir.

Then,

[The remnants of Fenrir’s core fragment remaining nearby are absorbed.]

[Power is merged into the pre-existing core fragment of Fenrir.]

[Fenrir’s power accumulates in your body by 1.0021%.]

“Huh?!”

the message appeared in front of Se-jun.

“Something must have remained.”

Se-jun absorbed power along with Fenrir without even knowing why.

[Fenrir’s power accumulates in your body by 2.0029%.]

The power accumulated faster than Fenrir. It was because of Fenrir’s core fragment that Se-jun possessed.

While Se-jun was absorbing Fenrir’s power like that,

“Puhuhut. Found it, meow!”

Theo found the fragments of the staff buried in the ground using his golden front paw.

Although the staff was broken,

[Yeti’s Heart]

[Heart of the King Giant Worm]

[Albatross’s Heart]

fortunately, the gems embedded in the staff were intact.

“Let’s go now!”

Se-jun stood in the crater until no more messages appeared, and then headed to the waypoint.

And

[You have arrived at the 75th floor of the Black Tower.]

…

..

.

he moved to the 75th floor of the tower and visited Mason. It was to obtain the Golden Tower land deed.

However,

“I-I’m sorry. I did my best, but…”

what the Traveling Merchant Association had obtained was only the land deeds for the 21st floor of the Brown Tower, the 12th floor of the Blue Tower, and the 1st floor of the Green Tower.

“Give me those for now.”

In the future, as Theo traded with other towers through the Bundle of the Great Merchant Wandering the Nine Towers, he might have an occasion to go there.

“How much is it?”

“What?! It’s fine. Just take them!”

Se-jun tried to pay the price of the land deeds, but Mason absolutely refused.

“Understood. Then I will come again next time.”

Se-jun said goodbye to Mason and came out of the Traveling Merchant Association headquarters.

When they came out of the headquarters and entered the shopping street like that,

Kking!

—Hey! I am hungry! Give me food quickly!

Fenrir’s voice was heard in everyone’s mind.

Having recovered some of his power, he was finally able to send his thoughts to others.

‘Ah. How refreshing.’

While Fenrir was happy to escape the frustrating situation where communication was not possible,

“Kkamang-i, the way you speak to President Park is cheeky, meow!”

Kkueng!

[Kkamang-i, you need to receive manners education from Cuengi!]

The two older brothers approached Fenrir with threatening expressions.
