Chapter 438 – Okay! I’ll Do It for the Butler’s Sake!
Earth.
The TV program that covered strange stories in Korea.
However,
“If a cat and a bear fight, who will win? If anyone asks such a foolish question, everyone will laugh. Because obviously the bear wins. However, if you watch this video, such thoughts will disappear.”
Today, unlike usual, the program was covering content from a place other than Korea.
Along with the host’s words, massive cat footprints and bear footprints recorded in China and the United States appeared on the screen.
“The beings that left these tracks are Theo Park and Cuengi Park, companions of Hunter Park Se-jun of Korea, who, as you can see, are a cute cat and a baby bear.”
Subsequently, the screen switched, showing Theo and Cuengi captured on CCTV, and
“Who do you all think will win between the two?”
“Of course it’s Theo!”
“No way! Cuengi is a baby! Cuengi would win even now, but in just a year, he will 100% win!”
“Is our Theo just playing? Of course Theo will also get stronger over the year. And our Theo is scheduled to be cute even a year from now!”
“I can’t agree! Cuengi will also be cute a year from now!”
At the host’s question, the guests passionately defended Theo and Cuengi, engaging in a cuteness battle over who was cuter.
The opinions were almost 50-50.
However, it was not just the guests whose opinions were divided half-and-half.
People in Korea—no, all over the world—were split into the Theo faction and the Cuengi faction, sharing their opinions on who was cuter.
“We… also have Baet-baet-i…”
Of course, a minority supporting Baet-baet-i also existed.
Perhaps because they took after Baet-baet-i, the people who cheered for Baet-baet-i also preferred not to stand out, and they did not receive much attention.
***
As the Bull Demon King dealt with the fragments of the Apostles of Destruction,
“Whimper?”
“[Guys, are you okay?]”
Kkamang-i quickly checked the state of his subordinates.
“Kiki!”
Most of the surviving Destruction Devourers were completely fine. However, that was not in a good sense.
Because the power of the fragments of the Apostles of Destruction was so strong, all the Destruction Devourers that were attacked had died.
At that moment,
“Kiki…”
“Kiki…”
the Destruction Devourers brought a dying Destruction Devourer, whose head was half cut off, in front of Kkamang-i.
It was the Destruction Devourer that had told Kkamang-i to run away, unable to close its eyes because it was worried about its boss.
“Ki… i… ki… i.”
“Boss, I’m… glad… that you… are… safe.”
Although their languages did not match, Kkamang-i understood the words uttered by the dying Destruction Devourer. No, he could understand them.
Therefore, he was sad and angry that there was nothing his great, noble wolf self could do.
“Whimper! Whimper!”
“[Hey! Wake up! The boss is commanding you!]”
All he could do was a useless stubbornness disguised as a command.
‘I guess I should step in.’
When the Bull Demon King, the oldest (?) here, was about to explain to the grieving Kkamang-i that there was a reality he had to accept,
*Creep creep.*
the energy of creation that was faintly dispersed in the surroundings gathered and converged on the head of the dying Destruction Devourer.
It had responded to Kkamang-i’s words.
Just as dragons had Dragon Words, Kkamang-i also had something similar called the Words of Destruction.
A power that infused the force of destruction into words, ignoring the providence of the world to enforce one’s will.
Until now, Kkamang-i could not use the Words of Destruction because he did not possess the power of destruction.
However, as his emotions welled up, he unconsciously moved the energy of creation to use the Words of Destruction.
And,
“Ki… ki?!”
the head of the dying Destruction Devourer returned to normal.
‘Huh?! Why did this work?’
Kkamang-i did not understand it even though he had used it himself.
However,
‘That’s not what’s important!’
“Kkihihit. Whimper?! Whimper!”
“[Heheh. Did you see?! The boss’s command is absolute!]”
The important thing right now was that he had shown his bossly dignity to the Destruction Devourers.
“Kiki!”
“Kiki!”
The Destruction Devourers placed Kkamang-i on their heads and tossed him in the air, and
“Kkihihit. Whimper!”
“[Heheh. Toss me higher! As much as you respect the great Kkamang-i!]”
Kkamang-i rejoiced, treated as the boss by the Destruction Devourers.
‘That guy was hiding his ability too.’
The Bull Demon King nodded while looking at Kkamang-i.
‘Indeed, the companions Lord Se-jun brings along are all exceptionally talented.’
Theo, Flamie, Cuengi, Black Rabbit, and so on.
In the Bull Demon King’s view, Se-jun had an outstanding talent for finding capable individuals.
While Se-jun was receiving recognition from the Bull Demon King for an ability he did not even possess,
*Chomp. Chomp.*
Uren was greedily stuffing his empty stomach which had been drained from using ‘Turn into Gold,’ and
“Ppiyot!”
“[We hit the jackpot!]”
Ppiyot-i picked up the coins dropped by the fragments of the Apostles of Destruction as they disappeared.
At that moment,
“Whimper!”
“[Surround that pig!]”
Kkamang-i shouted from atop the Destruction Devourers, pointing at Uren.
‘I smell it!’
This was because he felt his own core fragment from Uren’s body.
He planned to find the core fragment and demonstrate his dignity as a boss to his subordinates once again.
“Kiki!”
“Kiki!”
When the Destruction Devourers, receiving Kkamang-i’s command, surrounded Uren,
“Kweek?”
Uren, who was eating food, was flustered.
“Kkihihit. Whimper!”
“[Heheh. Hand over my core fragment!]”
As Kkamang-i rushed toward Uren, aiming for his pocket,
‘What should I do?’
Uren debated between the food in his hands and his pocket.
*Chomp. Chomp.*
Uren naturally chose the food, and
“Kkihihit. Whimper?! Whimper?!”
“[Heheh. Guys, did you see?! The great Kkamang-i was so fast that he couldn’t even react?!]”
Kkamang-i, who snatched Uren’s pocket, showed off to his heart’s content, pulled out his core fragment from Uren’s pocket, and
‘Don’t mess around!’
suppressed his own residual thoughts within the core fragment.
And,
“Whimper!”
“[Eat this!]”
When he showed the core fragment to the Destruction Devourers,
“Kiki!”
“Kiki!”
*Gulp. Gulp.*
the Destruction Devourers cheered toward Kkamang-i and began their meal in earnest.
“Kkihihit.”
Kkamang-i felt proud looking at them.
“Whimper…”
“[But I’m sleepy…]”
His eyelids grew as heavy as a thousand pounds. This was because he had overexerted himself by suddenly using a lot of power.
*Thud.*
As Kkamang-i collapsed to the ground,
*Grab.*
the Bull Demon King grabbed Kkamang-i by the scruff of his neck, lifted him, and
“Moo.”
“[Let’s return.]”
“Ppiyot!”
“[Yes!]”
“Yes!”
Ppiyot-i and Uren moved to the 99th floor of the tower.
“Kiki!”
“Kiki!”
The Destruction Devourers also followed closely behind the Bull Demon King, chasing after Kkamang-i who was dangling from his hand.
***
The 99th floor of the Black Giant Tower.
“Kkamang-i!”
“Kkamang-i, where are you, meow?!”
“Cuengi?”
“[Where is Kkamang-i, da-yo?]”
While Se-jun, Theo, and Cuengi were searching for Kkamang-i,
[Lord Se-jun, I know where Kkamang-i went!]
Podori waved his branch and spoke to Se-jun.
“Really?! Kkamang-i, where did he go?”
[He rode the Destruction Devourers and went that way earlier.]
Podori moved his branch and pointed in the direction Kkamang-i had gone.
“Huh?! That way is…”
It was the direction where the merchant passage that allowed descending the tower was located.
“Could it be that Kkamang-i got sulky because of the mental training and ran away from home?!”
‘A turbulent adolescent Kkamang-i?’
“This won’t do.”
‘Running away from home is out of the question!’
“Guys, let’s go catch Kkamang-i!”
“Understood, meow!”
“Cuengi!”
“[Understood, da-yo!]”
Not long after returning to the farm, Se-jun and his companions set out again to catch the runaway Kkamang-i.
At that moment,
*Thud. Thud.*
“Whimper!”
“[Let go of me!]”
“Moo.”
“[No.]”
Kkamang-i, held by the scruff of his neck by the Bull Demon King, was seen squirming to escape the Bull Demon King’s hand.
“Huh?! Kkamang-i!”
When Se-jun called out to Kkamang-i,
“Whimper?! Whimper! Whimper!”
“[Huh?! Butler! I missed you!]”
Kkamang-i barked happily upon seeing Se-jun.
But,
“Whimper?!”
unlike the warm welcome Kkamang-i expected, he was surrounded by Theo and Cuengi.
“Kkamang-i, you still haven’t come to your senses, meow! Follow us, meow!”
“Cuengi!”
“[Follow us, da-yo! You need to be scolded more, da-yo!]”
He was in danger of going to receive mental training from Theo and Cuengi again.
“Whimper! Whimper! Whimper!”
“[I’ve gotten strong now! I won’t receive mental training! Don’t stop me!]”
Kkamang-i tried to slip between the two by raising the energy of creation, but
“Puhuhut. What are you doing, meow?”
*Grab.*
“Whimper?!”
Kkamang-i was easily grabbed by the scruff of his neck by Theo. With this level of creation energy, he could not defeat Theo and Cuengi.
“Yip!”
“[Save Kkamang-i!]”
In the end, Kkamang-i was dragged away to receive mental training again, experiencing firsthand that strong resistance is met with a strong rod.
While Kkamang-i was receiving mental training,
*Gulp. Gulp.*
the Destruction Devourers eagerly absorbed the energy of destruction from Fenrir’s core fragment that Kkamang-i had dropped, for the sake of their boss, and
*Belch!*
*Belch!*
spewed out the energy of creation, but
“Yip!”
Kkamang-i’s screams did not cease.
“Kii…”
The Destruction Devourers realized that it was difficult to rescue their boss with their own strength, so
‘Boss, we will quickly increase our numbers!’
*Pui. Pui. Pui.*
*Pui. Pui. Pui.*
they spat out seeds in front of Se-jun.
Three days later.
[You have planted the Destruction Devourer’s seed in the land filled with mana.]
…
..
.
*Creak.*
As the seeds Se-jun planted grew rapidly and the Destruction Devourers rose,
“Whimper!”
“[My subordinate! Come this way! There’s plenty of food here!]”
Kkamang-i shouted while holding up the core fragment with his two front paws, and
“Kiki!”
the Destruction Devourer summoned by Kkamang-i moved toward Kkamang-i.
And,
[You have succeeded in increasing the number of Destruction Devourers to 1,000,000.]
[You have completed the quest.]
[You have obtained 100 drops of the Elixir of Growth as a quest completion reward.]
[As a quest completion reward, the Destruction Devourer is designated as a Calamity Sentry.]
In front of Se-jun, who had planted only Destruction Devourer seeds without resting for three days, the quest completion message finally appeared.
“Hehehe. Nice.”
Se-jun smiled, looking at the glass bottle in his hand containing 100 drops of the Elixir of Growth.
And,
‘By the way, what is a Calamity Sentry?’
“Kiki!”
“Kiki!”
He looked at the Destruction Devourers cheering that they had become Calamity Sentries. Not much had changed.
At that moment,
[Kkamang-i Park, who holds control over the Destruction Devourers, is appointed as the Third Apostle of Creation.]
“Whimper!”
“[How dare you!]”
Kkamang-i was enraged upon seeing the message that appeared in front of him.
‘I’m the third?! I am the great Kkamang-i, who was the 1st Seat of the Apostles of Destruction!’
He did not like being the third.
‘I won’t do it!’
So, just as he was about to reject being the Apostle of Creation,
[You have acquired the .]
The message that followed was:
‘The noble wolf who protects Park Se-jun?’
‘It’s a bit tempting?’
“Whimper! Whimper!”
“[Okay! I’ll do it for the butler’s sake!]”
Unaware that Kkamang-i had become the third apostle of the Creator God,
“Hehehe. Kkamang-i, brother is going ahead first.”
*Gulp.*
[You have consumed the Elixir of Growth.]
[You have acquired 1,000,000 experience points.]
[Agility, your lowest stat, increases by 10.]
[The proficiency of Seed Harvesting Lv. 8 increases significantly.]
Se-jun swallowed one drop of the Elixir of Growth.
And,
*Gulp.*
he swallowed another drop of the Elixir of Growth.
Se-jun’s current level was 99.
Since he could no longer gain experience points once he reached level 100 due to his class quest, he drank it carefully drop by drop.
‘I cannot allow a single drop to go to waste!’
When Se-jun swallowed five drops of the Elixir of Growth,
[You have consumed 10 drops of the Elixir of Growth.]
[All stats increase by 100.]
the additional effect of the Elixir of Growth appeared.
“Hehehe.”
‘Now the gap between Kkamang-i and me has widened even further.’
Se-jun rejoiced that he had widened the gap with Kkamang-i even more.
*Gulp.*
Se-jun continued to drink the Elixir of Growth, and when he had consumed 80 drops of the Elixir of Growth,
[You have leveled up.]
[You have acquired 1 bonus stat point.]
[Strength increases by 10.]
[A quest has been generated.]
[Class Quest: Receive the recognition of Hamer, the God of Farming; Patrick, the God of the Earth; and Rhea, the Goddess of Abundance, and raise the Tower Farmer grade to S.]
Reward: All class skill levels +1, 1 class skill.
As Se-jun finally reached level 100, the class quest appeared.
And,
[Rhea, the Goddess of Abundance, is the first to recognize the Black Giant Tower Farmer, Park Se-jun.]
Rhea, the Goddess of Abundance, quickly recognized Se-jun in first place.
