Chapter 459: Chapter 459
While Sejun was registering the waypoint,
“Puhuhut. Hurry up and return the money you borrowed from Uren, meow!”
“Uhehe. Hand it over! You punk!”
Theo and Uren rummaged through the pockets of Nellie, who was tied up with ropes and unconscious.
“What, meow?! He’s completely broke, meow!”
All they found on Nellie were a mere 900 Tower Coins.
Obsessed with the idea of exterminating the Elves, Magin didn’t hesitate to use any means necessary.
Of course, he was also confident that he could control the situation well.
Thus, after forming an alliance with Delia, Magin brought Delia to the Navel of the Earth to destroy the stone filled with the Earth’s energy.
Seeing the powerful Earth energy flowing from the stone into the ground, Magin believed that destroying this stone would significantly weaken the Earth energy on the 35th floor of the Tower.
As Magin approached the stone, he saw a Lightning Protection Magic Circle drawn in a 100-meter radius around it.
He also saw Delia’s fragments sending red energy towards the stone inside the magic circle.
“How many fragments are there now?”
“That’s quite a lot.”
Although he was taken aback by the unexpectedly large number of fragments, he still wasn’t worried.
The fragments of the Apostles of Destruction couldn’t withstand lightning.
“Delia, how much longer?”
Magin asked one of the fragments surrounding the stone.
-Kekekek. It’ll be done by tonight.
All the Delia fragments answered simultaneously, grinning wickedly.
Magin felt a sense of foreboding from their laughter, but
There’s the lightning.
As long as there’s lightning, they can’t escape the Lightning Protection Magic Circle.
Trusting in the lightning, Magin reassured himself.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park’s grilled fish was excellent today too, meow! Truly, Chairman Park is a master at grilling fish, meow!”
Theo, having eaten the grilled fish that Sejun had prepared, lay down on Sejun’s lap, patting his belly with a happy smile.
Kuehehehe. Kueng! Kueng!
[Hehehe. Dad is also great at making pancakes too! Dad, Cuengi has a lot of money, so if there’s anything you want, just let me know!]
Cuengi, who was in high spirits after dipping pancakes in honey, boldly opened his pocket money pouch and took out 3,300 Tower Coins as he spoke.
Cuengi had just reached 3,300 Tower Coins, surpassing his previous record of 3,200 Tower Coins—the most he had ever saved in his life.
He had every right to be proud.
“Sure. Got it. I’ll tell you if there’s anything I want later.”
As they continued their pleasant conversation,
“Aarg! It’s true! That bastard Magin ordered it all! He told me to borrow money from Uren and bring it back! Heugheug. I’m really sorry for mocking you.”
Suddenly, Nellie began screaming and confessing on his own, then started crying and apologizing.
“As expected of Chairman Park, meow! The food temptation from earlier worked, meow! Amazing, meow!”
Theo started praising Sejun.
Sejun was bewildered.
“Puhuhut. Where is Magin, meow?!”
“Magin is at a place called the Navel of the Earth…”
As Theo was extracting Magin’s location from Nellie,
[Butler! Give me 10 pieces of dried sweet potato!]
Blackie, who had woken up by now, called out to Sejun, proudly demanding 10 pieces of dried sweet potato, feeling justified after working hard today.
Knowing that Blackie wouldn’t eat them all and would stash them away in his secret storage, Sejun gave Blackie 10 pieces of dried sweet potato.
Hehe. Butler, I punished the one who laughed at you.
Blackie grinned while munching on the dried sweet potato.
A little while later,
“Magin is at a place called the Navel of the Earth?”
“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! Nellie will guide us, meow!”
“Alright. Let’s head there right away.”
With Nellie leading the way, Sejun and his party headed to the Navel of the Earth where Magin was.
Nellie trembled with fear as he saw Blackie glaring at him with wide-open eyes from Sejun’s sling bag, wondering if he was doing well.
I can’t sleep! I have to be ready to punish anyone who mocks the butler again!
Blackie was fighting off sleep, determined to stay awake.
After traveling like that for about 3 hours, Sejun and his companions,
They had reached the place where Magin was located.
A message appeared in front of Sejun.
“Demon of Corruption, Delia?”
“She might be ugly, but she’s the one who gave me the Fermentation skill, right?”
It wasn’t that her face was ugly—it was literally rotten.
Sejun’s first impression of Delia had been rather good.
So, to maintain that good first impression, he decided to deal with her from afar without looking at her face.
“Guys, attack over there!”
Sejun directed them to attack the giant dark-red stone at the center of the basin.
“Puhuhut. Understood, meow! Theo-Kueng-Park 10,000-step Meteor Strike, meow!”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes! Power of gravity, drop the stones floating in the sky onto the enemy. Meteor.”
[Got it! Kueng-Meteor Punch!]
The attacks from Theo, Iona, and Cuengi rained down on the stone and its surroundings.
No messages appeared.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Something’s strange.”
[Should I attack again?]
Sensing that something was amiss, the three prepared to attack again.
-You fools! How dare you attack me, Delia, the Demon of Corruption and 8th Seat Apostle of Destruction!
A massive demon, twice the height of the deep basin, appeared.
Delia’s main body, with a pair of enormous black wings, dressed in a suffocating black long dress that covered her entire body, and with a face of decayed, tattered skin.
Why is her main body here…?
Before Delia could release her seal, Sejun quickly handed out the Transcendence Black Bean plus the four beans set to his companions.
He ate one himself as well.
“Everyone, come out!”
He opened the Void Storage to release the Destruction Devourers.
At the same time, the dense energy of Creation that had been trapped in the Void Storage began to flow out.
-Kekeke! Let everything rot away! Seal Release!
Four pairs of wings grew from Delia’s back as the ground and atmosphere rapidly became contaminated, turning dark red under the influence of her energy.
She had broken the seal all the way to the fourth stage in one go.
As the aura of decay, which had already reached where Sejun was, began to burn the blue energy of creation,
[Bev, the God of Courage, acknowledges your courageous feat.]
