Chapter 563: Good. That Was Natural.
TL: Hanguk
Morning on the 99th floor of the Black Tower.
“Mm.”
Sejun opened his eyes.
“Hehehe. Home is the best after all.”
Sejun wiggled his toes while keeping his eyes open
[Due to the effect of <Power: Sunfish Core> all stat potentials have increased by 30.][Due to the effect of <Power: Resilient Young Dragon’s Solid Bones>, all stat potentials have increased by 10.]
[Due to the effect of <Power: Resilient Young Dragon’s Solid Bones>, all stats have increased by 1.]
and checked the messages.
“Huh?”The effect of Resilient Young Dragon’s Solid Bones?
Come to think of it, I didn’t check the powers yesterday because I was busy reporting my return and playing with Ace.
Sejun checked the options of <Power: Resilient Young Dragon’s Solid Bones>.
<Power: Resilient Young Dragon’s Solid Bones>– Level +15
– All stats +300
– All stat potential +5000
– Every day, all stat potential increases by 10.
– Every day, all stats increase by 1.
– Greatly improves learning efficiency.
– Dragon bones greatly enhance resistance to external energy.
– Bone density increases further, making bones harder to break, and body weight increases.
“Hehehe.”
That’s a significant improvement.
After checking the options, Sejun grinned broadly.
The power had been strengthened, increasing its level by 5, all stats by 200, and all stat potential by 4000. Additionally, the option to increase all stats by 1 every 10 days had been changed to every day, and a new option was added that increased all stat potential by 10 daily.
‘Even the options that don’t show numerical values have improved a bit.’
After confirming the power, Sejun wiggled his toes for about 10 more minutes before getting up.
And then,
“Meow…”
Kking…
He gently carried Theo and the Blackie family, who were still in dreamland, outside.
Step. Step.
As he let the sound of his footsteps resonate across the crops to boost their growth speed,
[The Radish of Strong Lower Body expresses gratitude for the Farmer’s footsteps and lends its strength.][The effect of <Great Blessing of the Crops (Master)> activates, increasing the potential of your Magic Power stat from 20,357 to 20,367.]
he increased his stat potential.
As Sejun walked across the farm,
Kueng
[Good morning, Dad!]
Cuengi joined him, clinging to his side.
“Brother-in-law! Good morning!”
Ace also joined in, hopping onto Sejun’s back.
Even though Ace was 5 meters tall, his feet still dragged on the ground when Sejun carried him on his back.
“Puhihihi.”
Brother-in-law’s back is soft(?) and warm.
Still, Ace looked happy to be carried by Sejun.
After a while,
Sejun went to the kitchen with his companions and prepared breakfast.
“Baby brother-in-law, take this and eat it with Mother-in-law.”
[My Baby Brother-in-law♡]
[Mother-in-law♡]
Sejun handed Ace an omurice with ketchup-written letters on it.
“Yes! Puhihihi. Brother-in-law, I’ll send you a heart too!”
Ace formed a heart with his arms for Sejun before taking the food to his mother.
And then,
“Alright. Let’s eat.”
Sejun sat down to eat breakfast with Theo, Cuengi, and Blackie family.
If he only wrote messages on Ace’s food, it would have caused an uprising(?), so Sejun wrote on everyone’s food as well.
On Theo’s massive grilled fish, he used Churu to write
[Great Hybrid Park Sejun’s Right-Hand, Deadly Dragon Claw Hybrid Golden Cat Merchant Park Theo.]
On Cuengi and the Blackie family’s omurice, he wrote
[Filial Son Cuengi ♡]
[Not-so-Great Sunfish Blackie ♡]
[Eomdol ♡]
…
..
.
With ketchup, of course.
Kihihit. Kking?
[Hehe. Cuengi hyung, what does this say?]
I have the most ketchup! That means the butler likes me the most!
Blackie, who couldn’t read Korean, asked Cuengi with an excited expression about what was written on his omurice.
Kueng…
[That says ‘Great…’]
“Cuengi, just eat your food. Blackie, it means eat up and grow quickly.”
Sejun, feeling guilty, hurriedly got up and mumbled to distract them.
And,
I should eat too.
[Park Sejun]
Sejun wrote his name on his omurice with ketchup.
At that moment,
[The Tower’s Administrator tells you to eat the food she secretly prepared for you without telling her family.]Aileen sent Sejun the food she had prepared.
“Okay… Aileen, you eat this too.”
With a resigned expression, Sejun added some more writing on his omurice and sent it to Aileen.
[Park Sejun ♡ Aileen Pritani]
“Kehihihi. Sejun, I’ll make a heart too!”
Aileen, watching through her crystal ball, made a finger heart toward Sejun.
During the meal,
Pwoo.
[Hey Besugu, go get some water.]
Bebe!
[Yes!]
Besugu fetched water at Mukbupal’s command, as he finally felt like it was getting revenge for all he had endured until now. It seemed like he still had much to learn from Theo.
When the meal was over,
Slurp.
“Puhuhut.”
Kuehehehe.
Kihihit.
Sejun sipped the coffee Cuengi had made while his companions settled around him.
And then,
Thump. Thump. Thump.
“Puhihihi.”
Ace, having finished his meal with Elizabeth, approached Sejun, made him lean against his belly, and rested his head on Sejun’s shoulder.
A peaceful rest time for Sejun and everyone.
-What are those?
-I think Cuengi let them loose earlier?
-Are they meant to be side dishes?
-That can’t be it.
Splash. Splash.
Munch. Munch.
The Dragons of the Four Dragons Council were watching the Apocalyptic Destruction Turtles Cuengi had released into the fountain happily swimming around.
After 30 minutes,
“Alright, guys. Let’s get to work.”
When Sejun stood up,
“Puhuhut. Great hybrid Chairman Park, I’ll go and make lots of money, meow!”
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Cuengi will gather lots of herbs too!]
Theo went to work at Purple Tower 73rd floor and Cuengi to the Western Forest, and
“Baby brother-in-law, I’m going to the 10th Tower. Want to come along?”
“Yes, brother-in-law!”
Sejun took Ace and headed to the 10th Tower.
Currently, Sejun’s strength exceeded 40,000, and with bean set, he could easily surpass 100,000 strength.
Thump. Thump.
He was worried about whether Ace would fit through the door, but fortunately, as Ace approached, the door expanded to accommodate him.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking…
[Hehe. Subordinates, your great leader, Blackie is back! I’ve had another amazing adventure…]
As soon as Blackie entered the 10th Tower, he started bragging about his adventure to the remaining Destruction Devourers and Destruction Pioneers.
“Baby brother-in-law, I’m going to need some strength. Eat this.”
“Yes!”
After eating 2 sets of Transcendence Black Beans and Sturdy Strength Yellow Beans with Ace, Sejun placed the bodies of the Kraken and Leviathan on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the 10th Tower.
Previously, Melpheus’s body was on the 1st floor and Delia’s body was on the 2nd floor of the 10th Tower.
Since Alice’s body’s vitality was running out, they moved Delia’s body, which was obtained after Alice, to the void storage.
It was to gain experience points.
Once the task of moving the Apostles of Destruction’s bodies was complete,
“Alright, everyone, shall we plant some seeds?”
Kya-kya!
Sejun returned to the first floor of the Tower and decided to plant Destruction Devourer Seeds with the Destruction Pioneers.
And then,
“Ah, right. Guys, look at this. I got a new farming tool.”
Good. That was natural.
Sejun pulled out the newly acquired pitchfork and began showing it off.
“This can do this too. Combine the three attributes of Fire, Wind, and Water, Fire-Wind-Water Energy Wave!”
Boom!
When Sejun activated the Divine Relic-embedded skill with his pitchfork, fire, wind, and water energy merged at the tip, creating a reddish-silver-blue energy wave that left a massive hole in the ground.
“Amazing, right? And now, Water Bomb!”
When Sejun used the skill again, water trickled out of the rightmost prong.
“Puhut. I can dig the ground and water it at the same time.”
Sejun demonstrated digging the ground while watering it with the pitchfork, smiling contentedly.
Originally, the Water Bomb skill had immense destructive power, but because Sejun only injected a small amount of magic, its impact was pitiful.
“Fire Bomb! I can use this to light fires. Wind Bomb! I don’t even need a fan when it’s hot.”
Despite treating the Divine Relic like a mere farming tool, Sejun boasted about it grandly.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. The butler is being cute! Guys, hurry and clap for him!] (TL: being cute here is in the sense like when children show off something they have found)
Seeing Sejun like that, Blackie made his subordinates clap, and
The Destruction Devourers and Destruction Pioneers clapped with their leaves and then began working alongside Sejun.
Meanwhile,
Crunch. Crunch.
“Puhihihi. Delicious.”
Ace sat at the edge of the tower, munching on banana chips Sejun had given him, watching Sejun plant seeds.
Since the upgrades had already reached their limit, there wasn’t much else to do.
[You have planted a Destruction Pioneer Seed (+1) in soil imbued with refined energy of Destruction and Magic Power.][Your job experience has slightly increased.]
[Your proficiency of Magic Seed Sowing (Master) has slightly increased.]
…
..
.
While Sejun was diligently planting Destruction Devourer Seeds,
[The energy of Creation created in the 10th Tower has reached 12 million L.][The 5th floor of the 10th Tower is now open.]
[The 5th floor of the 10th Tower is now activated.]
[The height of all floors in the 10th Tower has been doubled.]
A series of messages appeared before Sejun.
“Ah! Patrick-nim, please move Stella-nim to the 3rd floor of the tower.”
As soon as he read the message, Sejun hurriedly relayed his request to Patrick.
[Patrick, the God of Earth, says that the Great Silver Dragon Stella Hisron is currently helping Hamer, the God of Farming to create the Enhancing Elixir, so you don’t need to worry about her anymore.]Patrick responded.
“What?! She’s helping make Enhancing Elixirs?!”
Originally, Stella’s role was to help those who cleared the trials of the 10th Tower.
However, since Sejun had been far too weak at the time, Stella sadly became a burden within the 10th Tower and
-If that’s the case, then let me out! I’m bored!
Tired of her endless boredom, Stella found a task to do and began helping Hamer make the Enhancing Elixir.
Ah. So that’s why the Enhancing Elixirs have been getting made so quickly lately.
Sejun had wondered about the sudden speed increase in elixir production, and it turned out he had Stella to thank for it.
[You have arrived at the 4th floor of the 10th Tower.]While conversing with Patrick, Sejun arrived at the 4th floor.
Approaching a white crystal,
Tap.
When he placed his hand on it,
[You have cleared the 4th floor of the 10th Tower.][As a reward for clearing the 4th floor, you have received 10 billion Tower Coins and 200 billion experience points.]
[As a reward for clearing the 4th floor, all stats increase by 300.]
[The upgrade limit has increased by 100%.]
[The waypoint for the 4th floor has been saved.]
[Moving to the 5th floor of the Tower.]
With the reward messages displayed, a waypoint appeared, and Sejun moved to the 5th floor of the tower.
[You have arrived at the 5th floor of the 10th Tower.]“Wow. This place is even bigger.”
The land was massive, four times the size of the 4th floor and 256 times the size of the 1st floor.
“I should plant something first at least.”
While Sejun started planting crops in the empty land,
Rumble.
Outside the 10th Tower, massive changes were occurring.
As the floor height doubled, the tower’s height doubled and the 10th Tower got closer to the energy of Destruction.
The closer the 10th Tower got to the center of destruction, the more it began absorbing the thick, overwhelming energy of Destruction.
[An uncontrollable amount of energy of Destruction is forcibly flowing into the 10th Tower from the outside.]…
..
2a09:bac5:47ed:b05::119:d
.
As it absorbed an immense amount of energy of Destruction, the same phenomenon as before began occurring again.
“Oh, really? That’s great. Turn on the lighthouse.”
Finally, it’s time to use this.
Sejun, after checking the message, activated the Lighthouse of Creation That Burns Destruction.
Then,
[Consuming 300,000 L of energy of Creation to activate the Lighthouse That Burns Destruction for 1 hour.]The lighthouse installed at the top of the 10th Tower lit up with a brilliant white light.
Saaaaak.
The energy of Destruction touched by the lighthouse’s light began to burn and purify.
And the original purpose of the lighthouse was to signal one’s location to those far away.
“What? What is this unpleasant light?”
“Jǫrmungandr-nim, it’s coming from that tower!”
Jǫrmungandr and Hydra noticed the lighthouse’s light.
However,
“We’ll observe for now.”
If we approach, we might fall into a trap.
They were not swayed by the lighthouse’s light.
No, in truth, they were too afraid to move.
Realizing that Leviathan, had not returned, they began to feel a sense of crisis.
“Oh! The light has gone out.”
“As expected, it was nothing significant.”
In the end, they stayed put until the lighthouse’s light went out, allowing the 10th Tower to successfully close the distance to the center of Destruction.
