Chapter 519: Chapter 519
Golden Tower, 86th Floor, Daemon Family Mansion.
“Machun, you worthless brat! How dare you still call yourself my son?!”
Marin Daemon shouted at his eldest son, Machun.
Initially, Marin was overjoyed to see Machun return home as a legendary merchant.
“What?! You became an underling to the Black Tower’s legendary merchant?!”
“Yes. I went after Uren, but…”
Machun had fallen to the status of another merchant’s subordinate.
Next, he made chocolate milk.
[Blackie wants some too!]
He shared the chocolate milk with Blackie, who was wagging his tail eagerly right in front of him.
As they enjoyed the leisurely moments after breakfast,
“Is there any food left?”
Piyot and Uren, who had gone out the day before, had returned.
They had left to retrieve the land deed for the 86th floor of the Golden Tower, which Uren had hidden away.
Knowing all too well how gullible he was, Uren had made sure to hide the land deed so securely that no one could steal it from him.
Which is why it had taken them quite a while to retrieve it.
Of course, the biggest reason it took so long was the frequent encounters with monsters along the way.
“Alright, then, let’s get going.”
As Sejun prepared to depart via the waypoint,
“But I… I haven’t eaten yet…”
Uren, who was about to take a bite of the meal prepared by Sejun No. 1, looked on the verge of tears with his spoon in hand.
“Alright, let’s wait until you’re done eating.”
Sejun waited for Uren to finish his meal.
[Theo~nim, do you need anything?]
“Puhuhut. Nothing, meow!”
“But Piyot, aren’t you eating?”
Sejun asked Piyot, who was attending to Theo.
[I ate with Uren~nim an hour ago!]
Piyot patted his stomach as he answered.
Sejun stopped Uren, who had just finished one bowl of rice and was about to refill his bowl.
“Everyone, into the Void Storage.”
After directing his companions into the Void Storage,
Sejun unfolded the land deed.
With this message, Sejun disappeared.
Outskirts of Destruction.
Hundreds of millions of calamities were gathered there.
Most of them were weak Locusts, and only about 10% of the calamities had strong combat power.
“Kraken, is this all the remaining forces?”
“Yes, Jǫrmungandr~nim. This is everyone except the scattered forces that couldn’t respond to the summons.”
Melpheus, just what did you do to reduce our forces this much?!
Jǫrmungandr, who had gathered all remaining forces to reorganize them, sighed in frustration.
Even if they had fought among themselves, there should have been more left than this…
“With this amount of force, spreading them out won’t be effective.”
“Yes. At most, we can attack only about three places simultaneously.”
“Then let’s divide the forces into two groups and completely destroy this place and that one first.”
Jǫrmungandr pointed to two worlds.
These were , protected by the Blue Tower, and , guarded by the Red Tower.
As Jǫrmungandr infused the power of destruction towards the two worlds,
Small fissures appeared, and…
“Calamities, go forth. Go and bring destruction to these worlds!”
The calamities, following Jǫrmungandr’s command, began to pour through the fissures and began destroying the two worlds.
[You have moved from the 99th floor, the top of the tower, to the 86th floor.]
[Due to the effects of the , you gain invincibility for 1 second.]
There doesn’t seem to be any danger.
As Sejun quickly scanned his surroundings,
A streak of golden lightning shot down towards Sejun.
“Meow! Chairman Park, I missed you, meow!”
With a bright smile, Theo leaped out of the Void Storage and launched himself toward Sejun’s face.
The lightning narrowly missed Theo, who was clinging to Sejun’s face, and,
It struck the ground right next to Sejun.
Startled by the thunderous noise, Sejun cried out as he tried to pull Theo off his face, completely unaware that the lightning had originally been aimed directly at him.
[Time to recharge the Thunderbolt Staff!]
Cuengi, who had followed Theo out of the Void Storage, held the Thunderbolt Staff up towards the sky, absorbing the surrounding lightning and preventing any further strikes from hitting nearby.
Piyot and Uren also emerged and began wandering around.
Kihihit, kking! kking!
[Hehe! Hey, Butler! I found something cool! Peel this for me!]
At some point, Blackie had started darting around. Now, he came running towards Sejun, proudly carrying a fallen fruit in his mouth.
Sejun recognized the fruit Blackie had brought.
An oval-shaped, green fruit with fine fuzz on its skin.
“Does that mean… this is a kiwi farm?”
As Sejun looked around, he noticed that someone had carefully set up wooden stakes around the kiwi plants to help them grow well.
[Butler! Hurry up and open it!]
The kiwi was fully ripened, so Sejun sliced it open and scooped out small portions with a spoon, sharing it with Blackie and his underlings.
Sejun picked three kiwis and shared one each with Cuengi and Uren.
A green pig, dressed like a farmer, recognized Uren and approached him.
Theo and Cuengi immediately tensed up, watching the approaching pig warily.
“It’s alright. He’s part of my family. Hello, Uncle Neg.”
Uren recognized Neg and greeted him as he walked closer.
[Quest: Defeat or negotiate with the Green Pig Family’s assassination squad, who recently took over the kiwi farm, and reclaim the ownership of the land.]
Reward: Recognition as the rightful owner of the 86th floor kiwi farm in the Golden Tower.
A message appeared in front of Sejun.
Assassination squad?!
As Sejun sensed something was wrong,
Neg suddenly swung a sword at Uren.
Fortunately, Theo had already positioned himself in front of Uren and intercepted Neg’s sword with his dragon claws.
Theo then struck Neg on the back of the head, knocking him out.
“Puhuhut. Since you dared to go after my subordinate Uren’s life, you must join Sejun Company! A 10-year contract as a temporary employee, meow!”
Theo pulled out his seal and stamped it on the back of Neg’s head ten times with enthusiasm.
The other members of the assassination squad, shocked by their leader Neg’s failed surprise attack, were completely thrown off.
At the order of the vice-leader, the hidden Green Pig Family assassins charged at Sejun and his companions.
