Chapter 369: Chapter 369
The King of Farming recognized Theo coming from afar. I’m saved! I can go to Sejun~nim!
As the King of Farming rejoiced at the sight of Theo,
“Perfect! The Crying Pirates, move out!”
Koto and his followers dashed forward.
The King of Farming was horrified watching them. Because he had personally witnessed Theo’s strength while traveling with him up to the fourth floor of the tower.
For reference, the Crying Skeleton Gang was not included among the robbers.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park’s knees aren’t far now, meow!”
Just as Theo was about to hurry towards Sejun,
Uren, with a slightly dazed expression, started muttering to himself and walked ahead.
It was a scene Theo had seen many times.
“Puhuhut. I can give Chairman Park something even better, meow!”
Theo, laughing, followed Uren.
“Yes… Let’s go kill a dragon together…”
Following Uren, just before he picked up a black orb,
“Uren, snap out of it, meow!”
Theo slapped Uren’s cheek and quickly stuffed the black orb into his bundle.
“Eh? Theo~nim? What just…?”
“I saved you, so pay up, meow!”
Thanks to Uren, Theo, who also made money and obtained a piece of Fenrir’s core, had another exceptionally lucky day.
“Puhuhut. Let’s go, meow!”
He quickly ran towards Sejun.
“Guys, herd them this way!”
At Sejun’s call, Black Rabbit, Cuengi, and Ajax vigorously splashed the water, driving the freshwater shrimp towards the net Sejun was holding.
Sejun, waiting for the slower-than-expected Theo, continued catching freshwater shrimp.
While catching freshwater shrimp,
Something obscured Sejun’s view and stuck to his face. The familiar touch, the musky smell, and the energy—it was Theo.
He had been quite far away just moments before, but suddenly, he was right here.
“Chairman Park, I’m here, meow!”
Instead of responding, Sejun blew raspberries.
“Puhuhut. It tickles, meow~!”
While Theo twisted his body in laughter, Sejun grabbed him by the scruff and plopped him onto his lap.
Theo clung to Sejun’s knee.
“Vice Chairman Theo, did you have a good trip?”
“Puhuhut. Yes, meow!”
Theo answered and diligently rubbed his face against Sejun’s knee, and Sejun stroked Theo’s head in response.
“Chairman Park, sit down, meow!”
Theo, puffing out his chest with an arrogant expression, said to Sejun.
Recognizing Theo’s expression, which he only made when he had something great, Sejun complied.
As Sejun sat on the floor as Theo said, Theo, standing on Sejun’s lap, turned his bundle upside down and shook it.
Then, money pouches and a black orb spilled out.
It wasn’t just the money that surprised Sejun, but also the sight of a fragment of Fenrir’s core. He had come here to search for this…
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, please rub my belly, meow!”
Seeing the expression on Sejun’s face, Theo confidently rolled onto his back, presenting his pink belly, certain he had brought something significant.
It was a bit annoying, but since Theo had lessened his work, Sejun obediently rubbed Theo’s belly while picking up and examining the core fragment.
“It’s a 0.5% one. Aileen, please purify this too.”
Sejun entrusted the fragment of Fenrir’s core to Aileen.
While he was rubbing Theo’s belly,
[Cuengi wants belly rubs too!]
“Hyung! Rub my belly too!”
Suddenly at Sejun’s side, Black Rabbit, Cuengi, and Ajax also demanded their bellies be rubbed.
Sejun pondered. He only had two hands. He couldn’t stroke all four at the same time.
If he only stroked two, wouldn’t the other two feel left out?
“Hehehe. I’ll just hug you all. Come here.”
As Sejun embraced all four, initially, they fussed,
Soon, the four were engulfed in the warmth of Sejun’s embrace, their laughter unceasing.
Even Fenrir, who was sleeping in the sling bag, felt more comfortable and curled his lips up in a smile.
As Sejun and his companions were enjoying their happy time,
Piyot and Uren arrived, leading Theo’s slaves.
On the outskirts of destruction.
“But what is Fenrir doing?”
Halphas spoke while looking at the Black Tower. It had been 20 days since Fenrir entered the Black Tower, and there had been no contact.
Normally, being a loner, it was typical for him not to keep in touch, but lately, there had been strange talk among the other Apostles of Destruction.
They said that fragments of Fenrir’s core were wandering around the Black Tower.
Of course, since these were small pieces with little power, there wasn’t much concern.
He might be unlucky, but his skills were real.
It was unimaginable that Fenrir, the God-Hunting Wolf and the 1st Seat of Apostle of Destruction, could die.
“But why is there no progress here?”
Halphas, looking at the orb ‘Earth,’ which was only reddened at its tip, spoke in an annoyed tone.
There were hundreds of orbs quickly turning red around Earth, even though only disasters were sent there.
But Earth, peculiarly, was being consumed by destruction very slowly. It was almost at a standstill, even after he had sent his own fragment.
“Is there something there?”
Otherwise, there was no way that place alone could hold out so well.
Halphas felt his pride wounded as the situation didn’t improve even after sending his fragment.
So, Halphas decided to send a stronger fragment. It would mean a greater penalty, but it was tolerable.
Of course, many sacrifices were needed for his own descent, so Halphas was preparing to send a disaster to Earth.
The first disaster, Locust, which required the least sacrifice and was most effective out of the seven disasters.
Halphas found that the Locust could not been sent to Earth.
“Eek! Why can’t it be sent?!”
As Halphas struggled to send the Locust to Earth,
[You have achieved a great feat that has never been accomplished before.]
[As a reward for the great feat, the first disaster Locust can no longer invade Earth.]
“Locusts are extinct?”
Sejun was reading the message that had appeared before him.
