93rd Floor of the Green Tower.

“Are you ready to open the passage?”

“I’m sorry. The Immortal Clan that was in charge of the lower floors suddenly disappeared….”

At the cold voice coming from the giant throne, Blethun, the boss of the 93rd floor of the tower, answered with a voice filled with fear, prostrated on the ground.

“10 days. Finish it within 10 days. If you don’t finish it within that time, your life will end.”

“Yes!”

As Blethun hurriedly disappeared,

– Hel, the God of Merchants, says there’s a demon that turns legendary merchants into slaves, and if you see a yellow cat, run away no matter what

A message appeared before the being sitting on the throne.

“Hmph! Run away no matter what when you see a yellow cat? Ridiculous.”

Hel, you should worry about your own life. Anyway, everything will be annihilated once Destruction comes. Kukukuk.

Shark, a legendary merchant working for destruction, who had been promised a world after destruction, laughed sinisterly.

***

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, look at this, meow!”

Whoosh.

Theo took out a pile of scrolls from his bag.

“Oh?! Land deeds?!”

“That’s right, meow!”

A total of 10 land deeds.

There were 7 land deeds from the Green Tower, and 1 each from the 40th floor of the Golden Tower, the 53rd floor of the Red Tower, and the 27th floor of the Blue Tower.

Of course, among the 7 Green Tower land deeds, the one Theo wanted, the 93rd floor of the Green Tower, was included.

“Wow. Vice Chairman Theo, where did you get these?”

No one would just give away so many land deeds… Did he take them from someone?

Sejun deduced the most reasonable conclusion.

But,

“Puhuhut. Turbo gave them to me, meow!”

Contrary to Sejun’s reasonable conclusion, Theo proudly said that Turbo gave them to him.

“Turbo?”

Who is that guy to give these to Theo?

“He’s a new slave I made, meow!”

Well, that makes sense. He didn’t give them, you took them…

As Sejun was thinking that his assumption was correct,

“Chairman Park, there’s no time to waste, meow! We need to go to the 93rd floor of the Green Tower, meow!”

Theo urged Sejun.

“The 93rd floor of the Green Tower? Why are we going there?”

“Chairman Park, listen, meow! Egel is…”

Theo explained the situation of Egel being threatened by the power on the 93rd floor of the tower.

“So we’re going to the 93rd floor of the Green Tower to make slaves, meow! There are many slaves there, meow!”

Although it started with the idea of helping Egel, it somehow ended with the slave hunter Theo talking about slaves, and

“Okay. I got it. We received help, so we should help too.”

Hehehe. Slaves are just a surplus that occurs in the process.

Sejun, the Slave King.

“Everyone, gather! Summon Cuengi.”

As Sejun called his companions to use the land deed, he summoned Cuengi with the Dragon Horn’s Return Bracelet, and

[Summoning the designated target.]

Kueng?

“Huh?!”

Cuengi, who appeared in front of Sejun along with the message, was startled. He was holding the Thunderbolt staff high and swinging it forward.

Cuengi was summoned while sparring with the Minotaur King.

Kueng!!!

Cuengi used all his telekinetic power to turn his body around, and

Kwagwang!!!

Fortunately, no one got hurt.

Instead, the house and 330560 square meters of detoxifying green onion field were destroyed,

“…I survived…”

From now on, I should summon more carefully.

For Sejun, who had saved his life, that much damage was no problem at all.

“Alright. Go in.”

Sejun had his party enter the Void Storage.

And then,

“Ophelia, come out. Over.”

He called Ophelia and

“Ophelia, we’re going to the 93rd floor of the Green Tower….”

He informed Ophelia in advance to get help in case of unexpected situations.

[The Green Tower’s slave asks for 1000 sausage skewers in return.]

“Got it.”

[The Green Tower’s slave says you and your companions will not get hurt in the Green Tower, so don’t worry.]

While Sejun was taking out great Green Dragon insurance with 1000 sausage skewers,

Kiki!

Kiki!

Following Blackie, the Destruction Devourers clung to the Void Storage, asking to be taken along with him.

Kihihit. Kking! Kking!

[Heehee. Sure! I’ll let you in!]

Without Sejun noticing, Blackie started letting the Destruction Devourers into the Void Storage.

“Ophelia, and later, please clear the 99th floor of the tower for a moment. I need to set a waypoint there.”

[The Green Tower’s slave says okay.]

Unaware, Sejun continued his conversation with Ophelia.

Recently, Kaiser had modified the Return Bracelet again, allowing the return magic to be used with both relative and absolute coordinates.

So, Sejun planned to set a waypoint on the 99th floor of the Green Tower to obtain the title <The One Who Reached the Summit of Three Towers>.

With the title <The One Who Reached the Summit of Three Towers>, the waypoints of the 99th floors of the towers would be connected, allowing Sejun to travel to the Green Tower.

Although he wouldn’t need to go there often, it was wise to keep the route open just in case.

Finishing his conversation with Ophelia,

“Hehehe. It’s finally time to wear it.”

Clink. Clink.

104.28.193.250

Sejun put on the [Red Dragon Full Body Scale Armor] that he had been using as a scarecrow.

Now he could fully wear it as he satisfied all the usage conditions.

After fully equipping the armor,

“Aileen, I’m heading out.”

[The Tower Administrator says to be careful.]

“Okay. Don’t worry. I’m going now.”

Shwoosh.

After saying goodbye to Aileen, he unfolded the 93rd floor Green Tower land deed.

And then,

[The summoning function is activated for the initial owner inscription of the 93rd floor Green Tower land deed.]

With the message, Sejun disappeared.

***

[You have arrived at the 93rd floor of the Green Tower.]

Swish.

“Everyone, come out.”

As soon as Sejun arrived, he called his companions in a quiet voice while keeping a vigilant eye on his surroundings. Fortunately, it was a barren wasteland with nothing around.

Clank.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I missed you…”

Clink.

As the Void Storage opened, Theo rushed toward Sejun’s face, opened the helmet visor, and

“Meow!”

He clung to Sejun’s bare face.

“Hey. Why do you always rub your body on my bare face?”

“Because Chairman Park’s face is rotten, meow!”

“It’s not rotten!”

“It is rotten, meow!”

While Sejun was bickering with Theo,

Kueng!

Cuengi flew around in the sky, scouting the surroundings.

Kihihit. Kking!

[Come out, everyone!]

“Yes!”

Kiki!

Kiki!

Blackie let out Eumdol and the Destruction Devourers from the Void Storage.

“Huh? These guys…? Blackie, did you bring them?”

Kihihit. Kking! Kking!

[Heehee. Of course! They are my subordinates!]

As Sejun saw the endless number of Destruction Devourers coming out of the Void Storage and asked Blackie,

Hap. Hap.

The Destruction Devourers opened their mouths toward the air and started devouring the energy of destruction.

“Huh?!”

There was energy of destruction here?

On the 99th floor of the Black Tower, Sejun had deliberately planted Fenrir’s core fragments in the ground, so there was energy of destruction, but not here.

What is this? Is there an Apostle of Destruction nearby?!

As Sejun kept a vigilant watch on the surroundings,

“Hey! If you stay there like that, they’ll come! Quickly, hide over here!”

A voice called Sejun, opening a small cover on the ground.

But,

Kwagwagwang!

Crackle.

[Herbalist Cuengi has defeated the fifth calamity, Giant Poisonous Snail.]

···

..

.

Any threats to Sejun were already being dealt with by Cuengi with the Thunderbolt staff.

“Huh?! Why is the fifth calamity appearing here? Ophelia, didn’t you know a calamity had entered the tower?”

Sejun scolded Ophelia, but

……

No answer came.

“Are you trying to communicate with other places? Then it’s useless. I don’t know what they did, but communication is blocked. Ah, my name is Ari.”

A green meerkat named Ari, who had come out of the underground tunnel, looked up at Sejun and spoke.

“They?”

“Yeah. About a year ago, they suddenly appeared, made the boss of this place, Blethun, their subordinate, and have been turning the residents into slaves.”

“Meow! Did you say slaves, meow?!”

Theo, with his nose flaring in excitement, asked in an eager voice at Ari’s words.

“Y-Yes.”

“Then are the snails also under their control?”

“Yes. The snails are capturing the residents of the tower. That’s why we are hiding underground.”

“I see.”

Just as Sejun was listening to Ari explain the situation on the 93rd floor of the tower,

[A quest has appeared.]

[Quest: The mangosteen farm on the 93rd floor of the Green Tower has been eroded and disappeared due to the energy of destruction. Remove the energy of destruction that has spread on the 93rd floor of the tower.]

Reward: One mangosteen tree, recognition as the rightful owner of the land deed.

A land deed quest appeared.

“So this was originally a mangosteen farm.”

Thanks to this, Sejun learned what kind of farm this place used to be.

“Ari, where is their main base…”

As Sejun was asking Ari about the enemy’s main base,

Ki! Ki! Ki!

Ki! Ki! Ki!

Kihihit. Kking!

[Heehee. Guys, charge!]

“Great Blackie is on the move! Make way!”

The Destruction Devourers, carrying Blackie and Eumdol, started running north.

“Hey….”

Ari belatedly pointed in the direction where the Destruction Devourers were heading.

“Hey! Let’s go together! Everyone, let’s go!”

“Okay, meow!”

Kueng!

[Got it!]

Thus, Sejun, Theo, and Cuengi, worried about Blackie, hurriedly followed behind.

But,

Kking!

[Attack!]

Ki! Ki!

Ki! Ki!

There was no need to worry much.

The fifth calamity, the Giant Poisonous Snails, were surrounded by the Destruction Devourers.

Thud. Thud.

The Giant Poisonous Snails, sucked out of their energy of destruction, began to fall one by one.

To the Destruction Devourers, the calamities were just excellent food with great nutrients.

And then,

Burp!

Burp!

The Destruction Devourers burped, emitting a blue mist.

[You have achieved the great feat of spreading the energy of creation in the Green Tower.]

[As a reward for this great feat, the cost of staying on the 0th floor of the Black Tower will be reduced by 1%.]

Messages appeared simultaneously.

“Oh, it’s a 1% reduction!”

If the stay cost decreases by 1% every time the Devourers burp in another tower, and there are 7 towers left…

“Hehehe. I can reduce it by an additional 7%.”

That would bring the stay cost down to 19%.

If I’m lucky, I might even be able to reduce it to 0%?

And then,

“I believe in you, Vice Chairman Theo!”

Sejun had Theo, who had the golden front paw of great luck that never failed to bring good fortune.

“Meow?! Chairman Park, you believe in me, meow?! Got it, meow! Just believe in me, Vice Chairman Theo, meow!”

Puhuhut. The great Chairman Park said he believes in me, meow! I’m so happy, meow!

Theo’s chest swelled with emotion at Sejun’s words.

“Chairman Park, it’s that way, meow!”

I suddenly feel a pull from that direction, meow!

Theo, who was clinging to Sejun’s knee, pointed west with his front paw.

“Really? Then we should split up.”

Sejun could always trust Theo’s intuition.

For his safety, Sejun planned to move with Theo and Cuengi.

I’m a bit worried about Paespaes alone…

“Summon Black Rabbit.”

To protect Blackie, Eumdol, and the Destruction Devourers, Sejun used the Dragon Horn’s Return Bracelet to summon Black Rabbit.

Will it work?

Considering the communication cut-off with Ophelia, the summoning might not work…

[Summoning the designated target.]

It worked.

Ppyak!

[Uncle, thank you so much for calling me!]

Fortunately, the summoning of Black Rabbit was successful. But why is he so grateful, as if he had a narrow escape from death?

“Black Rabbit, protect the others along with Paespaes.”

Ppyak! Ppyak!

[Uncle, don’t worry! You can count on me!]

(Pip. Don’t worry!)

Leaving Blackie and his subordinates to the overly enthusiastic Black Rabbit and Paespaes,

“Vice Chairman Theo, is it that way?”

“Puhuhut. Yes, meow! It’s that way, meow!”

Kueng!

[Cuengi will give you a ride!]

Sejun and Theo got on Cuengi’s back and flew quickly in the direction Theo pointed.

And then,

“Help us!”

Thud. Thud. Thud.

They saw Shark, the legendary merchant working with destruction was wearing a black hood and stamping the foreheads of lined up tower residents.

“Meow! It’s him, meow!”

Theo moved in an instant with Meow Step,

“Huh?!”

Snatching the red stamp Shark was holding,

“Chairman Park, catch this, meow!”

Theo quickly returned to Sejun with Meow Step and handed over the stamp that Shark was holding.

***

32nd Floor of the Black Tower.

“Sigh. When will I get there?”

The King of Farming, who had received the trial of Leah, God of Abundance, sighed deeply as he continued his arduous climb towards the 99th floor of the tower.
