Chapter 341
"Kehehehe. Wait for it, Sejun! I'll find it again!"
Once Sejun acquired the land deeds for the 57th and 62nd floors of the tower from the Black Rabbit, Aileen hurriedly began using the destruction detector to search for other powers of destruction.
It was tough, but
'Kehehehe. To be on the same team as Sejun.'
The thought of completing quests with Sejun made Aileen happy.
While Aileen was busily searching for the power of destruction inside the Black Tower,
Wooong.
The crystal orb vibrated.
Then,
[The aura of the Green Dragon Brachio lorg has infiltrated the Black Tower.]
[The aura of Green Dragon Brachio lorg is focusing towards Tower Farmer Park Sejun.]
[Tower Farmer Park Sejun has sustained critical injuries due to exposure to the aura of Green Dragon Brachio lorg.]
Red alarms appeared.
"What?! My Sejun has critical injuries?!"
Aileen hurriedly used the crystal orb to find Sejun on the 57th floor, where Theo, Cuengi, and Ajax were fervently massaging the unconscious Sejun.
'What do I do about our Sejun?!'
The situation was dire.
At that moment,
[As the Green Dragon Brachio lorg gets closer to the Black Tower, the aura targeting Tower Farmer Park Sejun intensifies.]
[If you do not block the approach of Green Dragon Brachio lorg quickly, Tower Farmer Park Sejun could die.]
A new red alarm appeared.
After checking the alarm, Aileen realized what she had to do first.
She must stop Grandma Brachio from coming this way!
"Grandpas, help!!! Our Sejun has fainted!"
She quickly called Kaiser and the other three dragons for help.
Then,
-Brachio, you dare touch our Sejun!
-Touching our Sejun?! Has this old hag gone crazy?!
-Guys, let's hurry!
-I'm already on my way!
Kaiser, Kellion, Ramter, and Tier's bodies took off from their respective towers.
***
On the outskirts of destruction.
"Lord Halphas, following the Green Dragon, the leaders of the Black, White, Red, and Purple Dragons are all heading towards us!"
"What?!"
At Hydra's report as he watched over the nine towers with his nine heads, Halphas fell into thought.
'Could this be a preemptive strike?!'
The leaders of the dragon tribes, who would not move unless attacked first, seemed to be attacking based on their trust in the black fruit.
"Kekeke. If they only trust the power of that black fruit, then this time it's your defeat. Hydra, take Violet and Leviathan and eliminate the dragons."
"Yes! Leave it to me!"
Following Halphas' orders, Hydra confidently responded and took Violet and Leviathan towards the dragons.
***
Black Tower, 57th Floor.
"Chairman Park, wake up, meow!"
Kueng!
[Dad, wake up!]
"Hyung! Wake up!"
Theo, Cuengi, and Ajax desperately treated Sejun, calling out to him.
However, as Brachio approached closer, Sejun's condition worsened.
"Chairman Park, hang in there, meow!"
Kueng!
[Dad, hang in there!]
"Sejun, hyung!"
The three exhausted all their efforts to treat Sejun, but as Brachio flew rapidly towards the Black Tower, Sejun's condition deteriorated even further.
Theo, Cuengi, and Ajax were frantic in treating Sejun's body when,
Kking! Kking! Kking!
'Hey! Wake up! You have to feed me! You can't die!'
Realizing the gravity of Sejun's condition, Fenrir made a bold decision.
Kking!
'Eat this!'
He forcefully placed the fragment of his core into Sejun's mouth.
Naturally, Sejun, whose stats did not exceed 5000, could not swallow the core
fragment.
However,
Squeeze!
'Please swallow it!' Fenrir pressed the core into Sejun's mouth with his paw, filled
with desperate hope.
Swoosh.
Thanks to that, Fenrir's core fragment smoothly slid down Sejun's throat.
Gulp.
Thus, Sejun forcibly swallowed Fenrir's core fragment.
Kking! Kking!
'It's done! My core, make sure to save him!'
Wooong.
Reacting to Fenrir's desperate wish, his core fragment began to melt and absorb
into Sejun's body.
***
"Brachio, stop!"
"Yes! Calm down!"
Ramter and Tier, who were near the Green Tower, arrived first and blocked
Brachio's way.
"Calm down?! Do I look like I can calm down right now?! My Ophelia has become
a slave?!"
Brachio shouted back in an agitated voice at their words.
"Slave is just a term. It does not mean much. Anyway, our Sejun is too weak to
even stand before Ophelia..."
"Yes! For now, withdraw the anger directed at Sejun and let's resolve this through
dialogue! Otherwise, our Sejun will die!"
Kaiser and Kellion, who arrived in the meantime, also tried to calm down the
agitated Brachio.
"What?! Die? What are you talking about?"
Brachio asked in a bewildered voice at Kellion's words. I was just trying to scare
him?
Even though she was angry, she never intended to kill the Tower Farmer who could cultivate the black beans needed to fight the Apostle of Destruction. "What?! You were trying to scare our Sejun?! Our Sejun is incredibly weak..."
"Our Sejun is already dead, isn't he?!"
"Don't say such unlucky things! He probably just fainted!"
"Since Brachio has withdrawn her energy, it should be fine... Yes... It should be..."
Brachio didn't know that Sejun was so weak that the dragons would be anxious about the small amount of aura she sent to scare him.
'How weak is this guy Sejun that they are reacting like this?'
While Brachio was dumbfounded by Sejun's weakness,
Smoky.
Red mists surrounded them.
And then,
- It's been a while. O dragons.
The red mist transformed into three Apostles of Destruction.
Apostle of Destruction of the 10th Seat, the nine-headed serpent, Hydra. Apostle of Destruction of the 11th Seat, the Amethyst Giant, Violet. Apostle of Destruction of the 12th Seat, the serpent that summons tsunamis,
Leviathan.
- Seal release!
As soon as they appeared, they released all the seals they could.
Once, twice, three times, four times.
Gooo.
Suddenly, their powers amplified eightfold after releasing the fourth seal.
The power of those with the fourth seal released was comparable to when the
dragons ate the black beans.
But
The power of Kaiser, Kellion, Ramter, and Tier, who simultaneously swallowed
five types of beans including the black beans, far exceeded their levels.
Before leaving the tower to stop Brachio,
"Just in case, take these."
Aileen handed each one of them a Transcendence Black Bean that Sejun had
left behind.
"But make sure to pay me later!"
Of course, it wasn't for free.
[You have consumed a Transcendence Black Bean(+2).]
The dragons, having eaten the 2-enhanced Transcendence Black Beans, had
their powers amplified not 12 times, but 16 times.
-Huh?!
Kwang!
The four dragons easily disposed of the three Apostles of Destruction and
Clang.
"Collect!"
"Collect!"
They hurriedly collected Tower Coins.
And
"Brachio, we'll continue the rest of the talk later."
Kuuooooo!
They started blasting breaths at the surrounding red mists.
They needed to destroy as much of the destructive power as possible during the
four minutes when their power was enhanced and
Clang.
To collect many Tower Coins to cover the cost of the black beans they used.
Watching the four of them collecting Tower Coins,
Kuuooooo!
Brachio also subtly joined in collecting Tower Coins.
***
"Umm..."
As Sejun struggled to open his eyes,
"Chairman Park!"
Kueng!
[Dad!]
"Hyung!"
Theo, Cuengi, and Ajax hugged Sejun as they called out to him.
And
Kking! Kking!
'Hey! I saved you! So make sure to serve more delicious meals from now on!'
Fenrir boasted, looking at Sejun.
But
"Thanks, guys."
Sejun expressed his gratitude to everyone except Fenrir.
It was natural for him to think so, as Theo, Cuengi, and Ajax were usually the
ones to treat him when he fainted.
Kking!
'Hey! I told you I saved you!'
Thump. Thump.
Fenrir, feeling wronged, stamped his front paws on the ground to strongly appeal
to Sejun but
Kking...
'It hurts...'
He only hurt his own paws.
While Fenrir was feeling aggrieved,
"But what does this mean?"
[You have forcibly consumed a purified fragment of Fenrir's core.]
[The purified fragment of Fenrir's core is healing your body.]
[Your body has returned to normal.]
[During the healing process, 22% of the purified Fenrir's core fragment was lost.]
[The remaining purified piece of Fenrir's core in your body is now linked to the
tower's system.]
[The detection range for finding other fragment of Fenrir's core has increased.]
[The detection range for finding the Apostle of Destruction's power has
increased.]
Sejun, reading the message, realized that he had survived because he swallowed Fenrir's core fragment.
And
"Who fed me Fenrir's core fragment?"
He asked the three he was holding.
However,
"It wasn't me, meow! I was healing Chairman Park's rotten face, meow!"
Kueng!
[Cuengi was massaging Dad's belly!]
Theo and Cuengi answered, shaking their heads.
"Then was it Ajax?"
"No. I was massaging your leg."
"Really? Then who saved me?"
As Sejun wondered,
Kking...
He saw Fenrir, who was busily licking his sore paw.
"Was it Blackie?"
It was indeed because of Blackie that Sejun had been carrying around Fenrir's
core fragment all along,...
"Ajax, please heal Blackie."
Since his paw seemed hurt, Sejun asked Ajax to heal it.
"Okay! Hyung! Recovery!"
Ajax used a healing spell on Fenrir,
Kking! Kking!
'Hey! I saved you, so treat me well from now on! Anyway, I'm glad you're alive!'
Fenrir leaned against Sejun's leg and barked, wagging his tail vigorously.
"Hehehe. Did our Blackie have a hard time?!"
Kking! Kking!
While Sejun was having a healing time, hugging the whining Fenrir, Theo,
Cuengi, and Ajax,

Reward: Recognized as the rightful owner of the land deed.
A land deed quest appeared.
"So this was a plum tree farm, huh?"
Sejun said, looking at the withered tree. But the source of the corrupt power?
Where do I find that?
Sejun looked around suspiciously to see if there was anything unusual.
However, there were only withered plum trees around.

A message about detecting the power of the Apostle of Destruction appeared.
"Huh? An Apostle of Destruction?"
And a demon of corruption? It definitely seemed to be the source of the corrupt
power.
"Toryong!"
Sejun called Toryong and moved northwest.
And
-Kekeke. I will corrupt you too.
He encountered a demon with an grotesque face and a pair of black wings.
"Ajax, burn it."
"Okay! Hyung! Hellfire!"
At Sejun's command, Ajax incinerated Delia.
[Guard Ajax Mamebe has defeated Apostle of Destruction of the 8th Seat, the

And
Kking?
'Why was that idiot just standing there, foolishly getting herself killed?'
Once again, it was Fenrir, the master of team kills, who had unknowingly
contributed to the team kill.
