Solo Farming In The Tower-Chapter 34Vol 2. : Welcome to the Kindergarten of Destruction! ()

99th Floor of the Black Tower.

“What did you do, Tier?!”

Kaiser shouted at Tier. The Purple Tower had arrived on Earth far earlier than scheduled.

The other Tower Lords didn’t say anything out loud, but the looks they gave Tier were far from kind.

Because the Purple Tower arrived early, the movement speed of the other Towers had also increased.

When four towers gather in one world, the power exerted by each Tower accelerates the others.

As a result, the remaining Tower Lords had to put in even more effort to slow down their own towers.

“I didn’t mean for it to happen. I was carefully regulating the speed to prevent early arrival, but... our poor little Forby kept begging me to play, so I did—for just a moment—and before I knew it, the Tower was on Earth.”

Tier stammered out a flustered excuse.

“Seriously?! That’s your explanation?! I’m telling Sejun everything.”

But that only made Kaiser even angrier.

“Come on! I said I was sorry! Isn’t this a bit much just for one mistake?!”

Tier had been trying to stay calm and accept responsibility. But the moment Kaiser said he’d tell Sejun, Tier’s voice rose.

He could endure almost anything—except Sejun finding out.

If Sejun learned what he’d done, Tier wouldn’t get to taste the electrifying grapefruit wine for days, thanks to Sejun’s merciless discipline.

The grapefruit wine was so addicting, just imagining not drinking it was enough to trigger withdrawal symptoms.

And—

If the grapefruit wine was cut off, riots would break out immediately.

Tier had no confidence to face the other Purple Dragons and admit he was the reason they couldn’t drink it.

“...Ah. My bad. I went too far.”

Realizing he’d gotten too heated, Kaiser quickly apologized. Even he thought telling Sejun was a low blow.

“Yeah, Kaiser. That was too much!”

“No matter what, you shouldn’t be tattling to Sejun.”

“Right. Let’s not cross the line here.”

“Exactly. You definitely went over the line with that one.”

The other Tower Lords, who had been glaring at Tier just moments before, now turned on Kaiser and took Tier’s side.

Now that Kaiser was being portrayed as the bad guy—

“Well, even so, you made a mistake. You need to pay the price.”

Kaiser tried to change the subject to shift the mood.

And—

“Fine. I’ll take responsibility. I’ll give Sejun ten thousand of my scales and a shard of my heart.”

Tier admitted his fault and boldly offered even a piece of his heart as compensation.

But—

“No. Forget the heart. If Sejun gets that, it could put him in danger. Just give him a hundred thousand scales instead.”

Kaiser refused the heart shard outright.

“Yeah. Remember when Sejun got a shard of the Great Golden Dragon’s heart? It was too dangerous, so Theo’s keeping it in storage.”

Artemis explained why Sejun couldn’t accept Tier’s heart shard.

At first, Sejun had been excited to receive it, but he couldn’t handle its power and had never used it.

On top of that, Sejun—vaguely but undoubtedly—was a dragon himself. A black dragon.

So even just touching the Great Golden Dragon’s heart shard caused the powers of darkness and thunder within Sejun to clash, subtly harming his heart.

Thankfully, before anything serious happened, Theo realized what was going on and stashed the shard in his pack.

And so, the Great Golden Dragon’s heart shard faded into forgotten memory.

With that resolved—

“So what do we tell Sejun? Anyone have any good ideas?”

Tier looked to the other Tower Lords. Surely the wisdom of the group could figure something out.

But—

“...”

“...”

“...”

“Wait, where are you all going?!”

Instead of offering ideas, the Tower Lords quietly slipped away. Kaiser had been in the wrong, but Tier’s mistake hadn’t vanished.

They had no interest in getting wrapped up in Tier’s mess and potentially losing access to alcohol too.

***

<Necting>

Sejun and his group flew through the sky on Queng’s back, searching for the child who had dropped a meteorite.

“There!”

Sejun pointed and shouted.

There sat a child who looked about six years old, fifty meters tall, perched on a massive floating chunk of land.

For some reason, the child had lifted an entire landmass into the sky.

Landing softly on the levitating terrain, Sejun approached the child quietly with Theo clinging to him. Meanwhile, Queng and Iona prepared to bring the land down safely.

If that giant landmass crashed into <Necting>, it wouldn’t survive.

At that moment—

[A quest has appeared.]

[Quest: A portion of the continent in <Necting> has risen into the sky and is now in danger. If it falls, <Necting> will be destroyed. Please return the floating landmass safely to its original place.]

Reward: Peace of <Necting>, Partial Evolution EXP of <Necting>

A quest message appeared, as if to cheer Sejun on and motivate him.

“Heh... nice.”

Sejun grinned after confirming the quest reward. Even just a portion of EXP from a Level 9 world was bound to be significant.

“Hey there! Nice to meet you! I’m Park Sejun.”

Sejun slowly approached the child, striking up conversation. Having Theo with him was reassuring.

Theo had a knack for solving problems one way or another.

But—

“How about coming with me for some tasty—”

An unexpected attack flew Sejun’s way.

“Heehee! Ugly face! You look like a deep-sea squid!”

A direct insult to the face. The kid went for a preemptive verbal strike.

“What?! You flat flounder-faced brat!”

Sejun didn’t hold back and fired back immediately.

But—

“Then Park Sejun looks like poop! Wait, no—like diarrhea poop!”

The child was a born sharpshooter. He landed critical hits to Sejun’s psyche as naturally as breathing.

“Then you—...”

What the hell am I doing arguing with a kid?

Sejun had been about to yell “You look like a booger!” but snapped out of it, unable to finish the line.

Kkihihit. Kking!

[Heehee! The butler lost!]

Kkamang laughed tactlessly, infuriating Sejun even more.

“Park Kkamang. Did you just laugh?”

Sejun grabbed Kkamang by the cheek like he was about to throttle him. He was taking his anger out on someone else’s cheek for what had just happened.

Kking...

Only now did Kkamang realize Sejun was angry and switched into apology mode. But it was already far too late.

“Heh... Park Kkamang. You think I’m just gonna let that slide?! I sentence you to 10 minutes of chewy rice cake punishment!”

Kking...

As Sejun vented his irritation by pulling on Kkamang’s cheeks—

Crunch.

“Yah!”

The kid, now bored of teasing Sejun, yanked a massive boulder out of the ground and hurled it diagonally at a 45-degree angle. If it kept accelerating, it would become a meteorite again.

“Vice Chairman Theo! Block it!”

Sejun shouted urgently.

“Puhuhut! Just trust in me, Vice Chairman Theo! Nya!”

Whack!

Theo dashed in front of the boulder and slapped it down with a forepaw.

Crash!

The boulder smashed back into the ground.

Then—

“No other choice. Let’s just knock him out.”

“Puhuhut. I like that plan, nya!”

Whump!

“Ow! That hurts!”

Theo began smacking the kid on the back of the head, following Sejun’s orders.

Totally not because the kid called Sejun a deep-sea squid. It was definitely for the sake of preventing further escalation...

Why the hell am I a deep-sea squid?!

Maybe it was because of that. Sejun was clearly still mad.

“Puhuhut. I’m hitting you because it hurts, nya! How dare you call our great hybrid Chairman Park a deep-sea squid! You deserve worse!”

Understanding Sejun’s mood, Theo executed a proper punishment for insulting Sejun’s appearance.

Heh. That’s my Vice Chairman Theo. Well done.

Thanks to that, Sejun was starting to feel a bit better.

But then—

“You’re supposed to think those thoughts, not say them out loud, nya!”

Korean always hits hardest at the end of the sentence.

Theo, you’re the rude one here.

Theo had just insulted Sejun again. Now he was in an even worse mood than before.

“Ugh...”

And then, after being struck on the head twenty times by Theo, the kid finally passed out.

Rumble.

Queng and Iona gently lowered the landmass back to its original place.

A little while later—

When they had nearly returned the floating land to its original position—

“Nya?! Great Hybrid Chairman Park! I feel something pulling me, nya!”

Theo suddenly pointed a forepaw at the ground and shouted.

“A pull?”

“Puhuhut. That’s right, nya! Right beneath us! Deep down!”

“Everyone, stop for a second!”

Sejun signaled Queng and Iona to pause, then got off the floating land.

Queng?

[Dad, what’s going on, da yo?]

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. What’s happening?”

Queng and Iona came over and asked.

“Theo says he feels a pull from beneath this area.”

Queng?! Kuhehehe. Queng!

[That means it’s treasure hunting time, da yo! Hehehe. Queng will find the best treasure!]

“Puhuhut. Don’t make me laugh, nya! As long as I’m here, Vice Chairman Theo will find the best treasure, nya!”

Their competitive spirits ignited.

Kkihihit. Kking!

[Heehee! Don’t forget the great Kkamang, brothers!]

Kkamang scampered around excitedly, not wanting to be left out.

“Let’s do the treasure hunting down below.”

“Puhuhut. Understood, nya! This way!”

Following Theo’s lead, they headed toward the source of the pull.

“Here?”

“Puhuhut. That’s right, nya!”

There, at the middle of a massive crater formed by the vanished land, was a deep circular hole.

Sejun tossed a stone to check the depth. The sound of it hitting the bottom came only after a long delay.

“Let’s go!”

“Puhuhut. Let’s go, nya!”

Queng!

Kking!

Sejun and the group boldly jumped in and began freefalling.

After ten minutes—

Their speed had accelerated drastically.

“Puhuhut. Look at Chairman Park’s face! He’s not a deep-sea squid anymore—he’s an underground squid, nya!”

Theo laughed at Sejun’s wind-warped face.

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut.”

Kuhehehe.

Kkihihit.

The others laughed with him.

Sejun wanted to say, You guys look just as bad!—but...

Why do you all look cuter with the wind buff?!

Unfairly, Theo, Iona, Queng, and Kkamang were even more adorable thanks to the wind buff.

“Hey! Weren’t you the one who said you shouldn’t say those things out loud?!”

He tried to deflect with another complaint.

“Puhuhut. Underground squid is fine, nya!”

Theo’s logic made no sense at all. Actually, was it even logic?

“What the hell are you—”

Sejun was about to argue when—

Queng!

[Dad, I can see the bottom, da yo!]

Finally, the end was in sight.

“Huh? I can’t see anything...”

Of course, Sejun’s eyesight only picked it up five minutes later.

Moments later—

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Wind, slow our fall...”

Iona cast wind magic to reduce their fall speed.

Tap.

The group landed gently on the ground.

Then—

“Wow. It’s huge.”

“Puhuhut. Looks like tons of treasure, nya!”

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. It’s got a creepy vibe. Sounds fun.”

Kuhehehe. Kking!

[Hehehe. It’s so big, looks fun, da yo!]

[Heehee! ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ The great Kkamang will win everything!]

A massive door stood before them.

The image of a horrifying monster was etched into it, and the ominous atmosphere practically screamed not to open it. freёweɓnovel_com

But—

“Puhuhut. This way, nya!”

Theo casually opened the door without a second thought.

Creak.

The door swung open smoothly, almost like it was welcoming Sejun and his group.

Hehehe... Finally, the offerings for my resurrection have arrived on their own...

The Demon God Kali grinned in delight as Sejun and his companions stepped into the chamber where he had been sealed.
