Chapter 490: Chapter 490
Black Tower Administrator Area.
“How dare they betray my Sejun?!”
Aileen trembled with rage as she read the report sent by Ice Cube and Piercing.
-Such ungrateful bastards!!! My dear granddaughter, you mustn’t let such people go unpunished! This old man will go and teach them a lesson…
Kaiser, who had been waiting for a chance to calm Aileen’s anger, also became enraged beside her.
“No. Grandpa, stay put. I’ll handle it.”
Aileen responded to me! Thank you, Sejun.
Kwin, looking somewhat awkward also stepped out of the Void Storage.
“Kwin-nim has returned!”
“Kwin-nim, are you alright?!”
The residents of the Silver Tower, upon spotting Kwin, flocked to him.
They had been waiting anxiously for Kwin, who had suddenly been taken away by a dragon.
“Yes, my madness has been cured.”
“Oh! Congratulations!”
“Don’t push, please.”
While Kwin received the congratulations of the residents, Sejun, on the contrary, was pushed to the outskirts of the crowd as he tried to avoid the influx of people.
A blue mist emerged from the open Void Storage.
[The balance of the Silver Tower has been partially restored.]
[As a reward for the Great Creation feat, the cost of staying on the 0th floor of the Black Tower will be reduced by 1%.]
“Ah, right. There was this too.”
Sejun’s reason for coming to the Silver Tower had now become a five birds with one stone situation.
“This looks like a good spot to plant.”
Sejun found a flat piece of land and dug into it.
He planted the Grape Seed Containing the World Tree.
[The land is too barren.]
[Please plant it in a location with richer soil fertility.]
A message appeared, stating that the seed couldn’t grow due to the poor fertility of the soil.
I’m not the same person I used to be.
Sejun, with a smug expression, placed his right hand on the ground and used his Power while sipping on a Mugwort Juice of Life potion with his left hand.
[The soil in the farm becomes twice as fertile.]
As he continued to boost the fertility of the land using his power, Sejun’s life force consumption increased, and the state of the land gradually improved.
The once dry and crumbly soil began to gain moisture and gleam with vitality.
After using his power ten times on the soil…
[One Life Orb has been consumed.]
The amount of life force drained all at once had increased significantly, consuming one of his Life Orbs.
This is the last one.
Even the Life Orbs couldn’t keep up with the consumption beyond this point.
As Sejun drank another mugwort juice and replenished his Life Orbs back to three…
Finally, the Grape Seed Containing the World Tree began to sprout.
A small sprout energetically pushed its head out of the soil, extending its roots down.
Soon, the sprout spread its leaves left and right, as if raising its arms in a cheer.
Sejun looked at the sprout with a joyful expression.
The World Tree remained in its sprout form even after several minutes had passed.
Could it be that the soil’s fertility is still lacking?
Sejun used his power once again.
[The soil in the farm becomes twice as fertile.]
The World Tree had indeed absorbed much of the land’s fertility, causing the fertility to drop. With the fertility now improved, Sejun’s life force consumption decreased significantly.
While Sejun continued to increase the fertility of the land by repeatedly using his power…
Suddenly, the wind began to blow fiercely.
The strong winds, which had been suppressed by Kwin after drinking the Golden Grape Wine of Explosive Magic Power as a reward from the grape wine drinking competition, had started up again.
Moreover, due to the backlash from the previously suppressed winds, the gusts were even stronger this time.
From a distance, dozens of massive tornadoes rapidly approached Sejun and the residents of the Silver Tower, surrounding them.
“All of you, quickly evacuate the residents!”
The wind magicians, following Kwin’s orders, began evacuating the residents into underground shelters.
Kwin walked towards Sejun.
Kwin had heard that the reason Sejun came here was to grow a World Tree that could stop the winds. Determined to help Sejun at all costs, Kwin approached him.
Even if it costs me my life…
Standing next to Sejun, Kwin was ready to lay down his life if necessary.
As Kwin prepared to slow down the approaching tornadoes with a determined shout…
“Meow! I, Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo, will punish those who interfere with the great Hybrid Chairman Park’s work, meow!”
Theo rushed toward the tornadoes.
“What?! You’ll get yourself killed-”
Kwin quickly swallowed his words as he was about to stop Theo.
As Theo approached the tornadoes…
“Meow! Meow! Meow, meow! Meow-meow Storm Fist, meow!”
Using his Meow-step technique, Theo quickly ran in the opposite direction of the tornadoes, reducing their strength and causing them to gradually dissipate one by one.
Is that even possible?
Kwin was astonished, watching Theo’s unbelievable actions.
“Puhuhut, Great Hybrid Chairman Park, I’ve earned the title ‘One Who Subdues the Wind’, meow! With this title, I can easily subdue the wind, meow! Chairman Park should get one too, meow!”
“Hmm. I can’t do that.”
“No, that’s not true, meow! It’s easy to get, meow! I’ll help you, meow!”
“No, I really can’t.”
“Don’t give up, meow! I, Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo, will…”
As Theo, who had dispersed the tornadoes, tried to convince Sejun to obtain the same title as him…
The wind began blowing again. Since the tornadoes didn’t work, this time, the wind blew fiercely in a straight line.
As the wind started to blow, sand was carried with it, shooting like bullets.
[Hehehe. This time, Cuengi will handle it!]
Cuengi ran toward the direction of the wind.
Cuengi used his Kueng-fooo ability against the wind.
The wind, hit by Kueng-fooo, quickly stopped.
Instead, the wind reversed direction, wiping away even the distant gusts.
Kuhehehe. Kueng! Kueng!
[Hehehe. Dad, Cuengi got the power ‘Reverse Wind’! With the power of Reverse Wind…]
While Cuengi was proudly showing off the new power he had gained to Sejun…
In the deepest part of the underground, where Flamie had been waiting to keep Sejun safe, the roots of Flamie and the World Tree met.
The World Tree had been growing only its roots to meet with Flamie.
[Here, eat this quickly!]
[Thank you for the meal! It’s delicious!]
Unlike Podori, who was also a grapevine, the World Tree happily gobbled up the nutrient supplement Flamie provided.
[Now I feel stronger! Here I go!]
