Chapter 541: Chapter 541
“Why do I have to do this kind of work?!”
If this keeps up, my elegant golden fur that I’ve taken care of so diligently will be completely ruined!
Lui Gorgon, the second prince of the Gorgon Kingdom who had now become a temporary employee of Sejun Company, was struggling to walk while carrying a cherry tomato in each hand.
Huh?! Why are there so many creatures here with such lowly colors here?!
Lui wrinkled his face in disgust upon spotting a puppy with black fur.
In the Black Tower, the darker the fur color, the more preferential treatment one received. However, that wasn’t the case in Hamk.
Sejun and his party headed to Hamk.
The sudden disappearance of hamsters had thrown various nations into chaos.
This was because the children of royal and noble families had vanished without warning.
On top of that, ordinary citizens were also going missing, causing public sentiment to become greatly unsettled.
The sudden appearance of black towers, the mass disappearances, and even the swarms of locusts devouring crops, everything seemed like a bad omen.
The kings of various nations held meetings to devise countermeasures for finding the missing people.
“Ever since that black tower appeared, disappearances have been occurring all over.”
“It seems highly likely that the tower is connected to the disappearances.”
“We must send an investigative team!”
The meetings were mostly reaching the conclusion that the towers needed to be investigated.
Thus, as the nations began forming teams to investigate the black towers that had appeared in their capitals,
The missing hamsters began emerging from the black towers.
[You have arrived in Hamk.]
As he observed the thick clouds beneath him and the sharp peaks that seemed to pierce the sky,
[A quest has been triggered.]
[Quest: Defeat the destruction invading Hamk. If the current state continues, Hamk will be destroyed in 20 years.]
Reward: Peace in Hamk
[A quest has been triggered.]
[Quest: ave Hamk’s hero Bochi. If Bochi dies, the speed of Hamk’s destruction will be accelerated by 10 years.]
Reward: Inherit one of the skills of Hamk’s hero Bochi
Two quest messages appeared in rapid succession.
Sejun didn’t know who Bochi was, but he seemed like a very important hamster. The fact that Hamk’s destruction would accelerate twice as fast just from Bochi’s death made that clear.
“But how am I supposed to save him if I don’t know where he is?”
System, is this how you’re going to do things?!
As Sejun cursed the system for not providing proper information,
A loud explosion was heard from below the clouds.
That sounds like a fight…
“Cuengi, let’s head over there.”
When Sejun pointed toward the source of the sound while holding Cuengi,
Cuengi quickly used telekinesis to descend through the clouds.
They found a black hamster fighting two giant ogres with a sword that looked as thin as a toothpick.
[Hamk’s Hero, Grand Swordmaster Bochi]
It was Bochi, the one Sejun had been looking for.
Bochi was fighting valiantly, but,
It was too much to handle against two ogres.
Bochi was gradually being pushed back by the ogres’ relentless attacks.
“Guys, attack the ogres!”
At Sejun’s command, Theo and Cuengi swiftly charged toward the ogres.
One ogre was knocked out cold by Theo’s front paw striking the back of its head.
The other ogre was struck on the head by Cuengi’s thunderbolt staff, its body trembling before collapsing unconscious.
And just like that, the battle was over in an instant.
“I’ll take you to your king. Come over here.”
Sejun placed his hand on the ogres’ bodies, collecting battle aura to transport them.
“All done. Finish them off.”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow! Meow!”
At Sejun’s instruction, Theo and Cuengi finished off the ogres.
[You have leveled up.]
[You have gained 1 bonus stat point.]
[Strength has increased by 30.]
[Strength potential has increased by 1%.]
[A quest has been triggered.]
Sejun leveled up, reaching Level 134.
[You have saved Hamk’s hero Bochi.]
[You have completed the quest.]
[As a reward for completing the quest, you may inherit one skill from Hamk’s hero Bochi.]
Simultaneously, a quest completion message appeared.
[Thank you for helping me!]
Having recovered somewhat, Bochi approached Theo and Cuengi, offering a bow of thanks with clasped paws.
[The Great Will has commanded me to pass one of my skills to you. Even though I find your talent quite lacking, one cannot go against the Great Will. Bow to me at once!]
Bochi, now addressing Sejun in an arrogant tone, demanded that he bow in order to receive the skill.
Annoyed by Bochi’s dismissive attitude, Sejun made a sullen expression.
“Meow?! How dare you try to make the Great Hybrid Chairman Park bow to you, meow?!”
[Are you looking down on my dad because you think he’s weak?! Cuengi is angry now!]
[How dare you try to make my butler bow to you?! Do you want to get headbutted by the great Blackie and cry?!]
The atmosphere quickly turned tense.
[No… I didn’t mean you have to bow… Please, just let me pass my skill to you!]
Bochi, the hero of Hamk and a Grand Swordmaster, hurriedly changed his tone and began deliberating on which skill to pass to Sejun.
99th Floor of the Black Tower.
Wizard Tower Chairman’s Room in Black Park-Ai Wizard Tower.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot! My training is finally over~!”
Now, I must go see Theo~nim!
As space split apart, Iona, having completed her closed-door training, appeared with a beaming smile.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Search.”
Iona began searching for Theo, but,
She couldn’t sense Theo’s energy.
“Kyoo kyoo kyoo, Theo~nim is gone!”
An ominous aura began emanating from Iona, radiating a powerful energy incomparably stronger than before.
“I-it’s the third stage of Kyoo!”
While the wizards of the Black Park-Ai Wizard Tower trembled in fear,
“Kyoot?! Ah. Is that so?”
