Chapter 498: Chapter 498
The mental world of Fogra, the Mist of the Abyss.
– To live an eternal and immortal life with Fogra~nim!
Hundreds of millions of various souls, who had their souls devoured by Fogra and were reborn as its minions, charged toward Blackie and his subordinates.
Heroes with magnificent appearances, monsters with grotesque forms, gods exuding holy energy, and demons radiating ominous auras.
They all moved under Fogra’s command, forcibly united as allies.
“Get out of the way!”
Considering Blackie’s sincerity, Sejun accepted the saliva-covered stone that was dripping on the floor.
Using just two fingers, Sejun picked up the gray orb that Blackie handed him.
Blackie commanded the power stone.
[Absorbing the contained within Fogra, the Mist of the Abyss’s Powerstone.]
Only then did Sejun realize, through the message, that the gray stone Blackie gave him was a power stone.
[Unable to properly absorb the .]
[Adjusting the power to match the target’s strength.]
[The power of the ability is greatly reduced.]
“Hehehe. Well, that’s just how it is.”
Seeing the message, Sejun laughed at the all-too-familiar situation of being beaten down once again.
Even the name indicated that the power he received was trivial.
[Hey! You said you’d give me roasted and dried sweet potatoes!]
I gave you something really good!
Blackie spoke up, urging Sejun, who was just standing there.
“Yes, yes, I got it.”
Sejun gave Blackie some roasted and dried sweet potatoes.
As he listened to the noisy munching of Blackie and his subordinates enjoying the sweet potatoes, Sejun checked the power he received.
→ It produces a barely visible mist of the Abyss with each breath.
→ The mist of the abyss lingers around the power holder and disappears after 3 days.
Breathing out the mist of the abyss ?
Sejun exhaled hard, but
[The mist of the abyss lingers around.]
Aside from the message, there were no other changes.
Is there actually something there?
Sejun wanted to test it out, but Theo and Cuengi were so strong that even a light attack from them could kill him, while Blackie’s family was too weak to cause him any harm.
‘There’s no middle ground.’
Sejun thought about slapping his own cheek but then decided,
I guess I can check it out later.
He chose not to do it since he didn’t like pain.
And so, Sejun gained a new power.
“Vice Chairman Theo, the core fragment.”
“Puhuhut. Here it is, meow!”
Theo handed Sejun the fragment of Fenrir’s core.
As soon as Sejun held the core fragment in his hand,
A wooden fragment separating from Fenrir’s core fragment.
[Completing the door leading to the 10th Tower.]
With the message, the five fragments of the door that Sejun possessed fused into one.
An antique wooden door appeared in front of Sejun.
[As a reward for this great feat of creation, you have obtained the .]
[The effect of the allows you to summon the Door leading to the 10th Tower from anywhere.]
[As a reward for achieving the great feat of creation, your stay fees on the 0th floor of the Black Tower are reduced by 1.5%.]
Achievement messages appeared.
[As a quest completion reward, you have obtained 3 drops of the Enhancing Elixir.]
[As a quest completion reward, you have obtained 10 billion Tower Coins.]
[As a quest completion reward, all stats increase by 50.]
Following this, Hamer’s quest was also completed, and the reward messages appeared.
“Hehehe. I finally get to use this.”
Sejun laughed as he pulled out the key to the 10th Tower.
He inserted the key into the keyhole on the wooden door handle.
It should have turned with a click…
“Huh?! Why isn’t this turning?”
The key wouldn’t turn.
No matter how hard he tried, the key wouldn’t budge.
“Patrick-nim, the key won’t turn. What’s going on?”
Sejun ended up filing a complaint with the 10th Tower’s customer service.
[Patrick, the God of Earth, says to hold on while he checks.]
“Okay. Hey guys, how about we have some snacks while we wait?”
“Puhuhut. That sounds good, meow! Give me Churu, meow!”
[Hehehe. Cuengi wants Garaetteok!]
[Hehe. Butler! I want roasted and dried sweet potatoes!]
Sejun ate snacks with Theo, Cuengi, and Blackie while waiting for Patrick’s response.
[Patrick, the God of Earth, asks if your strength is less than 100,000.]
“Huh? Strength of 100,000? Of course, I don’t have that much.”
[Patrick, the God of Earth, says that’s why the key doesn’t turn.]
[Patrick, the God of Earth, explains that you need to have at least 100,000 strength to turn the key.]
After all the effort to complete the door, now they tell me I need 100,000 strength?
I’ve barely reached over 5,000 strength!
With his pride hurt, Sejun declared that he refused to enter the 10th Tower.
10th Tower Administrator Zone.
[Park Sejun, the Black Tower’s Tower Farmer, angrily declares that he won’t go to the 10th Tower.]
Patrick was flustered by Sejun’s reaction.
No! There’s still hope!
“If he lacks strength…”
We just need to increase it!
He quickly began searching for a way to boost Sejun’s strength.
“Yes. That should do it!”
He moved to the 5th floor of the 10th Tower.
He called out to the vast land.
“Yes, Patrick-nim, what’s the matter?”
A giant, which was initially the ground, moved and responded.
“I’m going to draw some of your blood!”
With the permission of Landorus, the Earth Giant, Patrick drew some of his blood.
“Sejun, drink this and try again! It’s too early to give up!”
He sent it to Sejun, trying to persuade him.
“You want me to drink this?”
Landorus’s blood was molten lava, and during its delivery to Sejun, it had cooled down and turned into a solid stone.
