Solo Farming In The Tower-Chapter 44Vol 2. : Welcome to the Kindergarten of Destruction! ()
“So that means it was artificially made? Vice Chairman Theo, get rid of it.”
If the black clouds had been natural, Sejun wouldn’t have touched them. Removing rain clouds to stop the rain could trigger a butterfly effect somewhere on the other side of the Earth.
But if they were artificially created, that was a different story.
“Puhuhut. Great Hybrid Chairman Park, leave it to me, Vice Chairman Theo-nya!”
Theo dashed upward through the downpour as if defying a waterfall, and within seconds—
Flash.
All the black clouds within a 1km radius around Theo vanished, and sunlight poured down onto the earth.
“Wow.”
The moment the sun broke through and lit up Seoul from the top of Namsan, it was such a breathtaking sight that Sejun let out a gasp without realizing.
Because of the dark surroundings and the single circular hole in the clouds letting the sun shine through, it looked even more dramatic.
As the ground dried—
“Wow, the sun’s out!”
“The sun is out!”
“Let’s play tag now!”
The children burst into laughter and happily ran around. They loved the sun just as much as the rain.
But—
“Kids, let’s head back.”
It was time to go home.
Unfortunately, with the sun out, it was harder to play outside. As the rain stopped, many people who had stayed indoors would come outside, increasing the risk of accidents with the children.
“Aileen, Iona—take the kids to my mom’s place and have some pancakes.”
“Okay.”
“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Yes.”
Sejun asked Aileen and Iona to escort the kids.
He could’ve sent Aileen alone, but just in case, he needed Iona to prevent her from using magic if trouble arose. Besides, someone needed to drain the floodwater in the neighborhood.
“Wow! We’re going to Chairman Ddan-ddan’s mom’s for pancakes!”
“Hehehe! This is great!”
“Hehehe. Since Taecho’s grandma is making it, we should thank Taecho too! But Mom, what’s a pancake?”
The kids’ expressions, which had dimmed at the idea of leaving, instantly brightened at the mention of pancakes.
Once Aileen and Iona left with the children—
“Let’s go, everyone!”
“Puhuhut. Understood-nya!”
Kkueng!
Kking!
Sejun brought Theo and Kkamang, then got on Queng’s back.
And—
“Let’s begin.”
They began clearing the black clouds.
“Release! Hoo!”
Sejun unleashed the flames absorbed by the Pipe Flame Devourer.
“Nyanyanya! Nyanyanya!”
Theo unleashed his Nyanyang Storm Fist.
Kkueng!
Fwoooosh.
Queng joined in, conjuring massive flames to remove the clouds.
In terms of output:
Queng > Theo >>>>> Sejun.
Kkihihit. Kking! ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) Kking!
[Heheh! Butler! The obedient Great Kkamangy-nim will help too! Go! Balchil and Deokgu!]
Mumu!
Hithit!
Following Kkamang’s command, Mubalchil and Shipdeokgu produced flame-sized sparks no bigger than a lighter’s flame to help.
Their contribution to cloud removal was nearly negligible—
But it was just enough to let Sejun maintain his pride.
Hmph. At least I’m better than them.
While Sejun and his team quickly cleared the black clouds over Korea—
“Ice Wall!”
“Dry Wind!”
“Heat Wave!”
Hunters on the ground were working hard to stop the flooding. People say Earth’s hunters are weak, but within Earth, they were still beyond ordinary humans.
That side didn’t need worry.
Which meant Sejun could focus entirely on the clouds.
After clearing the skies over Korea, Sejun worked clockwise from there, expanding outward and clearing clouds.
And then, above Beijing in China—
Puff. Puff.
The black clouds began to clump together and take human form. Five hundred of them.
Cloud Soldiers.
They launched a direct assault on Sejun and his group.
But the best defense is a good offense.
“Puhuhut. As long as Vice Chairman Theo is here, the Great Hybrid Chairman Park shall not be touched even once-nya!”
[If you hurt Dad, Kkueng will punish you-da yo!]
Theo and Queng swiftly attacked the Cloud Soldiers.
Kking!
[Butler! The Great Kkamangy-nim will protect you too!]
Kkamang shouted bravely while peeking out of the sling bag with only his eyes showing.
Heheheh. Classic glassfish Park Kkamang.
Not reassuring at all.
Sejun looked at him with a fond smile. But what he didn’t know was—Kkamang wasn’t bluffing.
Heheh. If the butler gets attacked, the Great Kkamangy-nim will leap out dramatically to protect him!
In the sling bag, Kkamang gripped the core fragment tightly, ready to absorb its power at any moment. After all, it was more fun pretending to be weak while playing with Sejun.
Heheh. The Great Kkamangy-nim is a power-weakling by choice!
Through the divine bridegroom, Kkamang had learned the same lesson the children had.
As the Cloud Soldiers disintegrated under Theo and Queng’s attacks—
“Huh? What’s that?”
Sejun noticed small black orbs floating where the soldiers vanished.
“Sharri, bring that over.”
Ppiyak!
[Yes!]
Sharri brought one over.
Ppiyak!
[Here you go, Sejun-nim!]
[Fragment of a Cloud Soldier]
They were remnants left behind after the soldiers were destroyed.
‘Fragment of a Cloud Soldier?’
When Sejun picked it up—
[You can absorb the Fragment of a Cloud Soldier to increase proficiency in the Rain-Thunder (Uroe) skill.]
Would you like to absorb it?
He could raise his Uroe skill?
“Yes. I’ll absorb it.”
The orb dissolved into black smoke and was sucked into Sejun’s mouth and nose.
[Fragment of a Cloud Soldier absorbed.]
[Uroe (Rain-Thunder) Lv. 6 proficiency greatly increased.]
[Proficiency maxed. Skill level increased.]
His Uroe skill level had risen.
“Oh! Everyone, gather all the orbs!”
Excited, Sejun sent the flying members of Kkamang’s family to collect more fragments.
[Fragment of a Cloud Soldier absorbed.]
[Uroe Lv. 7 proficiency greatly increased.]
...
..
.
The Uroe proficiency increased rapidly.
About an hour later, Sejun’s Uroe skill reached level 8.
“Eh? It’s already over?”
“Puhuhut. Looks like it-nya!”
Kuhehehe. Kkueng!
[Hehehe. We won-da yo!]
Not a single Cloud Soldier remained nearby.
Kkihihit. Kking!
[Heheh! Butler! We won because of the Great Kkamangy-nim!]
Kkamang barked triumphantly, full of pride.
“Sure. You did bark very hard.”
Sejun gave a dry reply.
“Let’s keep moving.”
They set off again to track down the remaining clouds.
Nearby clouds had already formed Cloud Soldiers and vanished, so they had to travel far before finding more.
Puff. Puff.
As Sejun and his party approached, the clouds once again clumped into Cloud Soldiers—and the battle resumed.
Thanks to this, Sejun continued absorbing fragments.
...
[Fragment of a Cloud Soldier absorbed.]
[Uroe Lv. 9 proficiency greatly increased.]
[Proficiency maxed. Skill level increased.]
He had mastered the Uroe skill.
[Uroe skill mastered.]
[Master Effect 1: Gain the ability to control other black clouds.]
[Master Effect 2: Gain the ability to infuse rain with poison, lightning, and ice attributes.]
[Master Effect 3: Gain the ability to absorb other lightning-type attacks.]
Because the Uroe skill encompassed three abilities—Make Black Clouds, Make It Rain, and Throw Thunder—the master effects were also threefold.
Control other clouds?
Sejun decided to try the most immediately useful of the three.
“Come here.”
He gave a command to a nearby Cloud Soldier.
But—
[The Cloud Soldier resisted.]
It failed. The skill allowed control—but didn’t guarantee it.
Was that one too strong?
“Then what about that? Come here.”
He gestured toward an unformed patch of black cloud.
Puff. Puff.
A backpack-sized lump of cloud broke off and slowly floated toward him.
“Come here.”
Using the same method, Sejun summoned several more clouds toward him.
“Disappear.”
He ordered them to disband.
The clouds under Sejun’s control melted away like cotton candy.
They could now be dismissed at will thanks to his Uroe skill.
And then—
[Clouds stored.]
A message appeared before Sejun.
“I can store them?”
From then on, he roamed Earth, storing every black cloud he saw.
A few hours passed—
“Huh? What’s that?”
“Puhuhut. The clouds are coming from there-nya!”
Kuhehehe. Kkueng!
[Hehehe. Dad! If we close that, it’s over-da yo!]
Above the North Atlantic, they spotted a massive hole in the sky spewing black clouds.
The crying of the Children of Destruction had ripped a rift between worlds—through which the clouds poured.
Finally, the end was in sight.
And—
Kking... Kking...
[Butler... the Great Kkamangy-nim is sleepy... Let’s finish and go home...]
Kkamang, tired from playing since morning, began whining.
“Alright.”
Sejun also wanted to go home.
“Kkueng, can you close it?”
Kkueng! Kkueng!
[I can do it-da yo! Trust in Kkueng-da yo!]
Queng enlarged himself.
Crunch.
He grabbed the edges of the rift with both hands—
Kkueng!
—and began forcing it shut.
As Sejun watched Queng seal the rift—
“Huh?! That aura?!”
He felt a familiar presence beyond the tear.
[You have discovered a Residue of Destruction.]
A message popped up.
“Residue of Destruction?”
There was still destructive energy remaining?
It was undeniable—a vivid red aura of destruction leaked through.
Though the main body of Destruction had vanished, not all its remnants were gone.
There were still worlds tainted by the remnants of Destruction—and they remained on the brink.
This place is already lost...
As Sejun assessed the world beyond—
Boom!
Queng sealed the rift completely. At the same time, the world holding that Residue of Destruction collapsed.
That world annoyed Queng and Dad! Deserved to be punished-da yo!
Because Queng had used a bit of end-time energy to close the rift.
With that—
[All black clouds that threatened Earth with destruction have been eliminated.]
[Quest complete. Peace on <Earth> has been restored.]
[Quest complete. Arrival time of Green Tower delayed by 5 days.]
The quest clear message appeared.
And so, Sejun and his team once again protected the peace of Earth.
“Kids, let’s go home.”
“Puhuhut. Sounds good-nya!”
Kkueng!
Theo and Queng answered energetically.
Kirorong.
But Kkamang, unable to resist sleep, had dozed off and didn’t respond.
On their way back—
Vrrr.
Vrrr.
Sejun received several long texts from Dong-sik.
Summarized, they said: thanks to Sejun clearing the black clouds, various world leaders were inviting him for meals.
Since Sejun and his group weren’t the type to keep such things quiet, it was impossible for other nations not to notice.
“Oh! The U.S. President is even sending a private jet.”
Heheheh. Park Sejun, you’ve made it. A private jet from the President himself.
Sejun couldn’t help but grin proudly as he read the message.
If only he weren’t so weak, he wouldn’t need a jet—he could ride on the backs of world leaders themselves.
And then—
“Nya?!”
Kkueng?!
Kking?!
His companions sensed Sejun’s smug expression immediately.
“Huh? Guys, we’re in the sky, you know.”
Realizing his mistake, Sejun tried to stop them—
“Puhuhut. Doesn’t matter-nya! Everyone, trample Chairman Park’s smug face-nya!”
Kkueng!
Too late.
Kking?!
[Butler’s face is smug?!]
Even Kkamang snapped awake and joined in at the word smug.
And so, while flying over the Pacific Ocean, Sejun had his face joyfully stomped on by his companions.
Just then, a massive rainbow stretched across the sky.
“Oh. A rainbow.”
“Puhuhut. Seven colors-nya!”
Kkueng!
[So pretty-da yo!]
Everyone paused to admire the brilliant seven-colored arc.
And then—
“They say there’s treasure at the end of the rainbow.”
“Nya?! Really-nya?! Let’s go find it right now-nya!”
Kkueng!
Kking!
With one comment from Sejun, a new adventure began.
