Chapter 544: Chapter 544
Outskirts of Destruction.
Jǫrmungandr, on his way to , stopped and looked curiously at Kraken, who was just standing still.
He didn’t realize that the Kraken was stuck between spaces, unable to move either forward or backward.
Suddenly, the Kraken’s body went limp, and…
Kyoot?! Theo-nim is bored! I must end this now!
Realizing Theo’s disinterest, Iona tried to dismiss Burelle.
Kyuui?! Kyuui! Kyuui···
[How dare you yawn while the Great Ham-God Iona-nim and I, the High Priest, are speaking?! Even as her servants, your behavior is utterly disrespectful! Great Iona-nim, please burn them to uphold the dignity of the Great Ham-God…]
Completely oblivious to the atmosphere, Burelle scolded Sejun, Theo, and Cuengi, pointing his finger at them and clucking his tongue in disapproval.
“Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo-O, power of fire. Burn the enemy. Ignite.”
How dare you point fingers at our Sejun-nim, Theo-nim, and Cuengi?!
Enraged, Iona burned Burelle with fire.
Burelle rolled on the ground to extinguish the flames on his body. Thanks to his quick actions and the fact that his fur was damp, the fire didn’t spread significantly.
However, Burelle’s once-proud golden fur was scorched black, leaving him looking like a black hamster.
“Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo-stand over there with your hands up.”
Unable to respond to Iona’s words, which were brimming with killing intent, Burelle obediently accepted his punishment.
Sejun noticed Kalchi, who was being restrained by the temple knights.
When Sejun called out to Kalchi,
The temple knights were flustered.
Just moments ago, their High Priest had pointed at that human and was punished by divine retribution.
Seizing the opportunity, Kalchi dashed toward Sejun.
This time, I’ll make sure to lick it!
Kalchi charged at Sejun’s shoe but,
Kalchi was caught in Sejun’s hand, failing once again.
“Hmm… Kalchi, congratulations, you’re the new High Priest now.”
Sejun spoke while looking at such a Kalchi. He had a feeling that if Kalchi managed the temple, it would become very clean.
[Me? A High Priest?!]
Kalchi was flustered by Sejun’s declaration.
“Yup. From now on, you’ll assist the guardian deity that who comes in place of Iona. As for you, Bochi, you’re promoted to commander of the temple knights.”
Sejun also assigned a position to Bochi.
“You’re just a believer now.”
Burelle, who had dared to point fingers at Sejun, was demoted from High Priest to a mere believer.
Thus, word spread among the residents of that the Kraken invasion was repelled by the Ham-God Iona, and peace was restored.
Sejun was still staying in , feeding the hamsters every morning, noon, and evening, which increased his stats and mental strength. In his spare time, he learned swordsmanship from Bochi.
As Sejun shouted and swung his sword,
[Your sword path deviated by 0.1 degrees!]
Bochi lightly tapped Sejun’s sword.
Sejun lost his balance and fell to the ground, following the sword path he had created.
[Oh dear. You should’ve been more careful, especially since you have someone special.]
Bochi said, looking at Sejun with mock sympathy, all while wearing a mischievous smile.
“You! Master Bo! You did that on purpose, didn’t you?!”
Sejun quickly got up and confronted Bochi.
Ever since Bochi found out that Sejun wasn’t single, he had been messing with him during every sparring session.
Though it annoyed Sejun,
[Your proficiency of Advanced Swordsmanship Lv. 9 has reached its limit and is leveling up.]
[Strength increased by 13.]
[Stamina increased by 8.]
[Agility increased by 5.]
He couldn’t stay mad because it was helping him improve his training.
Should I start matchmaking among the hamsters?
While Sejun pondered as he looked at Bochi, who wore a smug expression,
Kalchi, who had been assisting Sejun nearby, began mimicking his swordsmanship, swinging a small stick and attempting to replicate Sejun’s earlier movements.
[If Sejun-nim moves here, then I should move like Bochi-nim does… Oh! This way, I’ll be able to lick Sejun-nim’s shoes!]
Even while practicing swordsmanship, Kalchi, now a High Priest, could only think about licking Sejun’s shoes.
[He’s already replicating that?!]
Bochi was shocked as he watched Kalchi swing the stick.
Kalchi wasn’t just following Bochi’s sword path, he was also grasping the sword’s intent and wielding it accordingly.
It turned out that Kalchi was a genius in swordsmanship.
[High Priest Kalchi, do you have a significant other?]
[A significant other? No, I don’t.]
[From today onward, you will learn swordsmanship from me!]
Welcome to the Singles Corps, soldier!
Unknowingly, Kalchi had enlisted in the Singles Corps.
[Oh! So this is magic swordsmanship!]
Within an hour of training with Bochi, Kalchi, who started at Beginner Swordsmanship Lv. 1, had awakened magical swordsmanship.
[You can now imbue magic into your sword.]
[As your realm advances, Advanced Swordsmanship (Master) has transformed into Magic Swordsmanship Lv. 1.]
[The potential of all stats has increased by 3000.]
[All stats have increased by 100.]
Sejun also managed to awaken magical swordsmanship, but,
[You have run out of stay fee funds.]
[Returning to the 99th floor of the Black Tower.]
I haven’t finished learning yet!
With funds depleted, Sejun and his companions were forced to return to the Black Tower.
-Sejun! Why are you only back now?!
Kaiser, Anton, Elizabeth, and Ace gave him an intense welcome.
Hehe. This popularity.
Sejun, thinking they were welcoming him because of his popularity, smiled with satisfaction.
[The Tower’s Administrator tells you that she have been practicing cooking diligently while you were away.]
[The Tower’s Administrator urges you to hurry to the kitchen and taste her cooking.]
