Chapter 435 – I Am the Noble Wolf, Great Kkamang-i! I Won’t Be Scared!

[You have planted the seed of the Destruction Devourer in the mana-infused soil.]

···

..

.

While Se-jun was planting the seeds,

Tweh-tweh-tweh.

Tweh-tweh-tweh.

the Destruction Devourers spat out seeds anywhere they pleased,

Kkihikit. Kking!

[Hehet. Hey! There’s another one here!]

Kkamang-i did not control the Destruction Devourers at all and barked brightly, letting Se-jun know that there was a seed.

“Kkamang-i, it’s inconvenient to pick them up if the seeds are scattered like that, so tell the kids to spit the seeds in one place.”

So Se-jun spoke to Kkamang-i, but

Kkihikit. Kking!

[Hehet. No way!]

Kkamang-i, whose mood felt like it was flying from having so many subordinates, got excited and crossed the line.

And

“Haaak···.”

‘I don’t like it, meow!’

Theo, who was picking up seeds instead of Se-jun, looked at Kkamang-i who had crossed the line significantly, and began to start the engine of Stage 1 Haaak of Anger, vroom-vroom.

‘It seems like it’s time for our youngest to receive mental education, meow!’

Because they had let him off easy lately at Se-jun’s words to be lenient since Kkamang-i was still a baby, the effect of the mental education seemed to have worn off.

As Theo was approaching to scold Kkamang-i like that,

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[I have returned, da-yo! Kkamang-i, follow me, da-yo!]

Cuengi, who returned home after special training with the Bull Demon King, saw Kkamang-i acting up towards Se-jun and took out a club from his snack pouch.

Thus, Kkamang-i looked like he was about to be dragged away by the two.

But

Kking!

[Guys, protect me!]

Kkamang-i was no longer alone.

Kiki!

Kiki!

150,000 subordinates were with him.

Kkihikit. Kking! Kking!

[Hehet. I have many subordinates now! Don’t mess with me!]

Although Kkamang-i shouted in a confident voice while hiding behind the Destruction Devourers,

“Haaak! Move, meow!”

Kkueng!

[Move, da-yo!]

When Theo and Cuengi unleashed their energy,

Kiii···

Kiii···

the Destruction Devourers slowly slinked sideways,

Kking?! Kking!

[Guys, where are you going?! Don’t abandon me!]

and the space between Kkamang-i and the two split like the Red Sea.

······

When Kkamang-i met their eyes, he hesitated slightly and then,

‘I am the noble wolf, Great Kkamang-i! I won’t be scared!’

Kking! Kkiging!

[This body is the Great Kkamang··· Argh!]

He stood on his last pride, but received harsh, true mental education instead.

Kkiging!

[Save Kkamang-i!]

While Kkamang-i was receiving mental education from Theo and Cuengi like that, the Destruction Devourers trembled their bodies as they listened to their leader’s screams.

Tweh-tweh-tweh.

Tweh-tweh-tweh.

While continuing to spit out seeds.

And

“I won’t be able to finish all of this today anyway···.”

Looking at the Destruction Devourers who spat out seeds endlessly, Se-jun decided to stop the work.

‘I should at least pack the seeds first.’

Since he could not find the seeds if they got buried in the soil, Se-jun took out a gourd bowl and collected the seeds fallen nearby.

Then,

Kiii!

Kiii!

Seeing Se-jun’s actions, the Destruction Devourers began to put the fallen seeds into Se-jun’s gourd bowl.

They had learned indirectly by watching their leader what would happen if they acted without tact.

Tweh-tweh-tweh.

Tweh-tweh-tweh.

The Destruction Devourers spitting seeds also tactfully began to spit seeds into the gourd bowl Se-jun was holding.

“Here. You can spit it here.”

Thanks to that, Se-jun, whose job became easier, put the gourd bowl on the ground and

“It’s already dinner time. Guys, eat this.”

sent Earth food to the tower slaves, Ajax, Veronica, Zelga, and Orik, as well.

He had originally intended to send it in time for lunch, but he had completely forgotten about it while planting the Destruction Devourer seeds.

About five minutes after he sent the food like that,

[The slave of the White Tower tearfully says that it is too delicious and that they want to go see big brother Se-jun quickly.]

a message came from Ajax first.

“Hey. Why are you crying? You can just see my face when I quickly get stronger.”

[The slave of the White Tower cries out loud, saying that seems to be impossible.]

Ajax cried even louder at Se-jun’s words.

‘This guy···’

Thanks to that, Se-jun cried and Ajax cried, both for different reasons.

[The slave of the Purple Tower praises highly, saying that as expected, the food recommended by Lord Se-jun never fails.]

[The slave of the Blue Tower expresses gratitude, saying that they ate deliciously with their family.]

Next came messages from Veronica and Zelga, and

[the slave of the Brown Tower wishes to treat Se-jun to traditional goblin cuisine in return for receiving the delicious food.]

finally, a message from Orik arrived.

“No.”

‘Is he repaying grace with enmity?!’

Annoyed, Se-jun contemplated whether to summon Orik to give him some true education, but

“No. Grilling someone after feeding them is a bit much.”

This was accumulated.

He decided to grill him twice as hard if he made a mistake later.

When Se-jun had received all the messages from the tower slaves like that,

“Puhuhut. Listen well from now on, meow!”

Kkueng!

[If you don’t listen, it’s mental education again, da-yo!]

Kking!

[Yes! Big brothers!]

Having properly received mental education, Kkamang-i followed closely behind the two, being careful not to even step on their shadows.

Of course, it remained to be seen how many days the effect of that mental education would last.

Thus, Se-jun and his group finished the day by playing around after having dinner.

***

Black Tower Administrator Area.

“Khehehe. Now that I’ve mastered fried eggs, I should move on to a more difficult dish.”

Aileen, who had built up confidence after seeing Se-jun smiling and eating the fried eggs she made,

“This time, it’s spicy fish stew!”

She suddenly raised the cooking difficulty significantly. Of course, Aileen herself did not even know that she had raised the difficulty by a lot.

‘Spicy fish stew didn’t look very difficult, though?’

Originally, when one knew nothing, everything seemed easy.

“Hum-hum-hum.”

Aileen hummed, took out a pot, and put the whole, uncleaned fish into the pot.

Just as Se-jun was on the verge of encountering a fish head once again since Aileen’s health soup like that,

“Aileen, where are you?”

“We’re here!”

“Brother Pobi is here!”

“Aileen, Sister Sylvia is here too!”

sounds that saved Se-jun were heard.

Aileen did not know, but today was the day of a gathering decided among the hatchlings’ parents.

Since all the parents had been looking forward to this day, no family was absent.

The hatchlings, who were released in the Black Tower Administrator Area like that, scurried around searching for Aileen, and

‘I need to practice cooking, though···’

Aileen had no choice but to put the fish back into her subdimensional space so it wouldn’t spoil, and

“Welcome, sisters and brothers.”

she welcomed the hatchlings.

‘We played hide-and-seek last time, so what should I play with them to entertain them today?’

Aileen was lost in thought about how to make it fun for the sisters and brothers.

At that moment,

‘Ah! If it’s that!’

a good game occurred to Aileen’s mind.

“Sisters and brothers, this is called a superhero landing··· Polymorph cancel.”

After Aileen canceled her polymorph and flew high into the sky while explaining,

“Giga Lightning. Fire Storm. Ice Fog.”

Thud.

she descended toward the ground with a spectacular effect using magic and landed in a superhero landing.

‘Khehehe. This is fun?’

She originally intended to only show a demonstration and watch the sisters and brothers do it, but there was a somewhat thrilling pleasure.

“Wow! Cool! I want to do a superhero landing too!”

“Me too!”

“Sylvia will do it first!”

The same was true for the hatchlings. Their hearts raced upon seeing the superhero landing.

Thus, Aileen and the six hatchlings entered special training to create their own cool superhero landings.

***

The next morning.

“Hup!”

Se-jun opened his eyes.

[The seal of the Earth Gem has been released.]

[Pan, the God of Gold Dust, who was sealed in the Earth Gem, is released from the seal.]

···

[Pan, the God of Gold Dust, repays the favor by creating a gold dust panning site on 1 pyeong of land.]

[While you slept, 10% of your life force has been stored.]

[The Orb of Life is 9.48% complete.]

0.1 mana has accumulated over 24 hours.

[Your mana increases by 0.1.]

“A gold dust panning site?”

“Nyaaang···.”

Kking···

After reading the messages, Se-jun tended to Theo and Kkamang-i and stood up.

And

“Wow. Why are there so many seeds···.”

The first thing Se-jun discovered upon going outside was the Destruction Devourer seeds piled high enough to overflow the gourd bowl. They seemed to have spat them out until late yesterday.

After Se-jun packed the seeds,

‘By the way, where are the Devourers?’

When he looked around,

Kirorong.

the Destruction Devourers were huddled together in the cornfield, dozing off.

Burp.

Seeing them emit a blue mist while burping in the middle, it seemed they were absorbing the energy of destruction even while sleeping.

Confirming that the Devourers were sleeping like that,

“But where is the gold dust panning site?”

Se-jun set out to find the gold dust panning site.

‘Is it in the pond?’

Recalling that in movies, people usually searched for gold dust by scooping soil into a wide dish near the water, Se-jun headed to the pond inside the cave.

And

“Indeed, it was here.”

he was able to find the 1-pyeong gold dust panning site emitting a soft golden glow.

“Hehehe.”

‘This will be fun.’

Se-jun took out a wide dish, scooped soil mixed with gold dust, and gently shook it in the water.

But

“Huh? There’s none?”

Se-jun could not even get a glimpse of gold until all the soil on the dish had disappeared.

The gold dust had washed away together with the soil. Panning for gold was not an easy task.

“It’s hard.”

Se-jun tried a few more times, but

“Eek! I’m not doing this!”

In the end, he did not get a single grain of gold and only wasted time.

‘To make me suffer like this. Lord Pan gets 0.3 pyeong.’

Thanks to that, despite giving Se-jun a gold dust panning site where 10 kg of gold dust was newly generated every day, Pan’s Pan Road was finalized at 0.3 pyeong.

When Se-jun, who failed to pan for gold like that, stood up from his spot,

“Huh?”

he saw a giant black clam the size of two palms put together next to him.

It was a clam grown in the pearl oyster farm that Pearl, the God of Pearls, had created in return.

‘Should I eat grilled clams?’

Se-jun smacked his lips as he looked at the giant pearl oyster.

‘I should make grilled clams with cheese.’

Thus, the breakfast menu was decided, and

Grab.

he tried to pick up the pearl oyster, but···

“Huh?!”

The oyster could not be lifted. The oyster did not budge.

‘What is this?’

“Urgh!”

Se-jun lifted the oyster with all his might once more, but the oyster could not be lifted.

At that moment,

Kkueng?

[Dad, what are you doing there, da-yo?]

Cuengi, who heard the sound of Se-jun straining, poked his head out from the cave ceiling and asked.

“Cuengi, help me out. This oyster is super heavy!”

Kkueng!

[Understood, da-yo! Cuengi will help you, da-yo!]

Thump.

Cuengi landed gallantly in a superhero landing pose,

Grab.

he picked up the pearl oyster. Very lightly.

······

‘It was really heavy, though?’

Thanks to that, Se-jun became embarrassed, and

‘As expected, Dad is still very weak, da-yo!’

Cuengi resolved to dig up many healthy medicinal herbs for Se-jun.

With Cuengi’s help, he moved the giant pearl oyster to the kitchen area and made grilled clams with cheese, and

“Huh?! What is this?”

[Black Pearl of Crushing Gravity]

While eating the oyster, Se-jun discovered a black pearl the size of a fist.

“Oh! With this···.”

‘I might be able to make Iona’s staff?’

As Se-jun thought of Iona,

“Puhuhut. We can make Iona’s staff, meow!”

Theo also shouted as he thought of Iona.

If they used the black pearl with the power of gravity as the core and embedded the Yeti’s Heart, King Giant Worm’s Heart, and Albatross’s Heart that they had already packed into the staff together?

‘We can make an item superior to the Staff of Calamity for Iona, meow!’

Moreover, if they even used that extremely precious World Tree branch for the staff, they could not even imagine what grade of item would come out.

“Puhuhut. Representative Park, let’s go to the dragons, meow!”

“Sure.”

Grab.

Se-jun, who responded, tried to lift the black pearl.

However,

······

the black pearl could not be lifted. It was not that the oyster had been heavy.

Although Se-jun, who had not read the description of the black pearl, did not know it, the black pearl had an option where greater gravity was applied the smaller one’s mana was.

Of course, its own weight was also quite heavy.

“Cuengi. This, please···.”

Kkueng!

[Understood, da-yo!]

In the end, having packed the black pearl with Cuengi’s help, Se-jun went to find the dragons playing in the fountain with Theo.

At that time.

The merchant passage connecting the 50th and 60th floors of the Black Great Tower.

Ppiyot!

[Run away!]

Kkuik!

Ppiyot-i and Uren were being chased by the fragments of the Apostle of Destruction that had entered the Black Great Tower.
