Outskirts of Destruction.

“Is Fenrir-nim okay?”

Krueger looked at the black tower, worrying about Fenrir.

Although Krueger’s fragment, Eomdol, had already met Blackie, the main body had not yet received the latest information from Eomdol.

“By the way, they are really sending a lot.”

Currently, other Apostles of Destruction were sending an enormous number of fragments into the black tower to claim Fenrir’s core fragment.

“But isn’t that too many?”

Aren’t they going to get caught like this?

Krueger spoke as he looked at the Apostle of Destruction fragments approaching the black tower.

To enter the black tower, the Apostle of Destruction fragments needed a deceptive camouflage veil created by the mesmerizing spider, Alice, to hide the power of destruction.

However, the size of the veil was not infinite, and over ten thousand Apostle of Destruction fragments were barely hiding within the veil, clumped together.

“No, it would be better if they got caught.”

How dare they target the great Fenrir-nim’s core fragment.

Although they were on the same side, Krueger was cursing rather than cheering them on.

Then,

“Huh?!”

Did they really get caught?

Suddenly, a small black dragon emerged from the black tower and,

Krooo.

The small body unleashed a powerful breath on the clumped Apostle of Destruction fragments, destroying them in one blow.

“Ah, that feels so refreshing.”

The kid knows how to use breath attacks.

As Krueger felt relieved watching the Apostle of Destruction fragments melt away in the intense breath,

-This is Eomdol. Can you hear me, main body?

104.28.193.250

A voice echoed in Krueger’s head.

“Who is Eomdol to call me the main body?”

-Ah. Wait a moment.

At the main body’s response, Eomdol hurriedly sent its memories to the main body.

Thus, Krueger, now updated with Eomdol’s memories, or rather, Eomdol itself,

“…To think that I’m Eomdol… This is really bad.”

The main body frowned upon hearing its new name.

Moreover,

“To give such a vulgar name like Blackie to Fenrir~nim, the noble wolf who hunts gods…”

Park Sejun, I really don’t like you…

It was the first time in its life that it felt murderous intent just because of a name.

“Alright. Then I’ll send a part of my soul to the 99th floor of the Black Tower.”

The method of splitting the soul and sending it into a fragment was extremely dangerous, as there was a high chance of losing that part of the soul in the process.

However, since this was the fastest way to get to Blackie, Krueger made the bold choice.

-Main body, there’s no need for that. You can come comfortably through the passage Alice created.

“The passage Alice created?”

-That’s right. And Blackie-nim is in danger because of Alice, so it would be good if you come quickly.

“The great Blackie-nim is in danger?! Got it! I will come quickly!”

Eomdol hurriedly searched for the passage Alice had created.

“Here it is.”

Following the signal from his fragment and the unfamiliar energy, which was not the energy of destruction, he quickly found it.

“The great Blackie-nim, please wait a moment! Your loyal Eomdol will come quickly!”

Eomdol’s main body hurled itself towards the passage leading to the 93rd floor of the Green Tower.

***

Green Tower, 93rd floor.

Kirorong.

“You’re falling asleep in this situation?”

How can you sleep here?

Sejun looked at Blackie in disbelief,

“Ah, Blackie, you fainted?”

Hahaha. You sunfish.

He chuckled happily and put Blackie in the Void Storage.

But then,

“Meow! Cuengi, Theo-Kueng-Park Drill Storm, meow!”

Kueng!

[Got it!]

Ppyak!

[108 Rice Cake Hammer Combo!]

Kwagwang!

[You’re a Field Lv. 4 is activated.]

…

..

.

Sejun, who was leisurely planting Destruction Devourer seeds on the back of Alice, the Mesmerizing Spider and 9th seat of the Apostles of Destruction, near his companions who were in the midst of an intense battle, wasn’t normal either.

Of course, it was his mind that was leisurely, while his hands moved so fast that they were impossible to track with the human eye.

Sejun was planting 10 Destruction Devourer seeds per second.

This meant that the process of digging the ground, burying the seed, covering it with soil, and watering it was happening in 0.1 seconds.

An incredible speed.

This was thanks to eating the Transcendence Black Bean, which increased all his stats by 16 times.

As Sejun was planting the Destruction Devourer seeds with a relaxed mind, unlike his comrades,

“Not bad. I should put in a bit more effort too. Release seal.”

Alice released the 2nd stage seal.

“Argh!”

At the same time, Sejun felt an excruciating pain as if his entire body was being crushed by Alice’s aura.

In reality, if not for the <Power: Sturdy Young Dragon’s Solid Bones>, all the bones in his body would have shattered.

However,

[A crack forms in the Sturdy Young Dragon’s Solid Bones.]

It was impossible to withstand Alice’s aura continuously.

“Chairman Park, hang in there, meow!”

Chairman Park’s condition doesn’t look good, meow!

Theo wanted to rush to the collapsing Sejun immediately, but he couldn’t.

Because if he didn’t attack Alice, Sejun would be in even more danger.

“Meow!”

I’ll quickly defeat this one and return to Chairman Park, meow!

Theo grabbed his money pouch and

Flash.

started burning money again.

I’ll burn more money, meow!

Blaze.

Theo began burning an amount that exceeded what his body could handle.

Blaze.

A golden light, which seemed as if it would burn anything it touched, erupted from Theo’s body.

And then,

Kueeng!

[Dad is in danger!]

Cuengi, seeing the fallen Sejun, also drew out all the energy in his body.

Crackle.

[The powerful energy of thunder flows into the Thunderbolt Staff.]

[The Thunderbolt Staff is 120% charged.]

His fur stood up, and golden sparks created by static electricity continuously erupted, charging the Thunderbolt Staff with thunder energy.

The thought of saving Sejun made Theo and Cuengi desperate, pushing them to unconsciously break through their limits.

And then,

“Meow! You hurt Chairman Park, meow! I’ll teach you a lesson, meow! Vice Chairman Theo’s Secret Technique, Golden Meow Fist, meow!”

After placing his golden glowing paw on Alice’s belly,

Press.

As he lightly pressed with all his strength,

Boom.

The pink jelly on Theo’s paw created a repulsive force, penetrating Alice’s hard exoskeleton and delivering powerful energy inside.

Bang.

The powerful force erupted inside Alice’s body, lifting her into the air briefly.

“Gah! You bastard!”

As the enraged Alice was about to attack Theo,

Kueng! Kueng!

[Now it’s Cuengi’s turn! Cuengi’s Secret Technique, Cuengi’s Thunder Barrage!]

Bang! Bang!

Cuengi moved swiftly, striking Alice’s entire body with the Thunderbolt Staff,

Kwagwang!

Crackle.

Powerful lightning struck the spots Cuengi hit with the Thunderbolt Staff, causing tremendous damage that made smoke rise from Alice’s body.

“Argh! You bastards! I’ll release all my seals…”

Thanks to this, Alice, who was furious to the point her head was about to explode, was about to release the remaining two seals at once when

Clang.

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Success!]

Blackie shouted, jumping out of the Void Storage.

Thud!

At the same time, Alice lost consciousness and collapsed. Thanks to this, Alice’s suppressive power around the area disappeared.

While everyone was fighting hard against Alice, Blackie had entered Alice’s mental world and fought against Alice’s mind, successfully sealing Alice’s mind.

Kihihit. Kking?! Kking?

[Hehe. Eomdol, did you see?! The great Blackie’s feat?]

“Of course! As expected, the great Blackie-nim!”

Kihihit. Kking! Kking!

[Hehe. That’s right! The great Blackie-nim solved it!]

“You’re amazing!”

Feeling proud, Blackie received flattery from Eomdol.

Kking?

[But what’s wrong with him?]

Blackie asked, looking at the unconscious Sejun.

“It seems his body was harmed from exposure to Alice’s aura.”

Kking?! Kking!

[What?! Alice did this to him?! Alice!]

Blackie called out to Alice in anger at Eomdol’s words.

Kkiruk!

Scuttle, scuttle.

A tiny spider, the size of a thumbnail, hurriedly scurried over on its short eight legs. It was Alice, who had lost her power and shrunk after being sealed by Blackie.

Kking! Kking!

[Alice, because of you, he fainted!]

Kkiruk…

As Blackie scolded Alice,

“Ugh…”

Sejun regained consciousness amidst the commotion.

‘Did I faint?’

He thought he had grown stronger recently, but it seemed he still had a long way to go…

Gulp. Gulp.

Sejun drank the mugwort juice potion with a bitter expression.

Although his vitality recovered, his lowered self-esteem did not.

At that moment,

“Chairman Park, are you okay, meow?!”

Kkueng?!

[Dad, are you okay?!]

Ppyak?!

[Uncle, are you okay?!]

(Pip-pip. Sejun-nim!)

His comrades, having confirmed that Alice was completely incapacitated, hurriedly rushed to Sejun.

Then,

Press. Press. Press. Press.

They began massaging Sejun’s body.

“Hehehe. This feels good.”

Sejun felt better from the massage of the four.

However,

“Puhuhut.”

Chairman Park is healthy, meow! I’m glad, meow! But your face looks rotten, meow!

Press. Press.

Seeing Theo, who was unpleasantly laughing and focusing on massaging only his face, made Sejun feel slightly annoyed.

“But is this okay?”

[Alice, the Mesmerizing Spider, 9th seat of the Apostles of Destruction, who has lost her soul]

Lost her soul?

Sejun spoke as he looked at Alice’s giant soulless body.

“Puhuhut. I, Vice Chairman Theo, have checked, and it’s safe, meow!”

Theo shouted confidently in response to Sejun’s words.

“Then let’s deal with it quickly and go back.”

Sejun thought he could handle Alice quickly since she was unconscious, but

“Meow! That’s difficult, meow! Alice is too tough, meow!”

Even without her soul, Alice was still an Apostle of Destruction. No one there could kill Alice.

“Then Brachio-nim…”

Initially, Sejun thought of calling Brachio to deal with Alice.

However,

“No, wait!”

He quickly changed his mind.

Let’s plant the Destruction Devourer on Alice’s body!

There was no better place than here to level up the You’re a Field skill and grow the Destruction Devourer.

Through this battle, Sejun realized that the more Destruction Devourers there were, the easier it was to fight against Destruction.

Destruction Devourers were beings that damage the Apostles of Destruction just by breathing, without doing anything else.

“Hehehe.”

Next time, I’ll win with only the Destruction Devourers!

As Sejun looked at Alice’s body and laughed sinisterly,

“Puhuhut.”

Theo laughed along with Sejun.

And then,

[You’re a Field Lv. 4 is activated.]

…

..

.

“Huh?! When did it become level 4?”

Sejun realized that the You’re a Field skill, which had been level 2, had somehow risen to level 4. He hadn’t noticed the skill leveling up earlier due to the chaos.

“Oh! Now the damage is doubled.”

Upon reaching level 4, an option was added that doubled the damage inflicted when crops grew and when they were harvested.

As Sejun confirmed the new option and continued planting Destruction Devourer seeds on Alice’s body,

“Puhuhut. Become a slave, meow!”

A giant slave, meow!

Press.

Theo, imagining the joy of riding on a slave Alice, stamped the Five Towers’ Slave Seal on Alice’s body.

However,

[You have stamped the Five Towers’ Slave Seal on the soulless 9th Apostle of Destruction, the Mesmerizing Spider Alice.]

[The Five Towers’ Slave Seal imposes a debt of 50 billion Tower Coins on the soulless 9th Apostle of Destruction, the Mesmerizing Spider Alice.]

[The soulless 9th Apostle of Destruction, the Mesmerizing Spider Alice has repaid 50 billion Tower Coins.]

“Meow?!”

Alice easily repaid the money.

“Become a slave of me, Vice Chairman Theo, meow!”

Press.

Theo stamped again, but once more, Alice repaid the money.

“Meow!!! This is infuriating, meow!”

Press. Press. Press.

Enraged, Theo continued to stamp Alice’s body in a fit of anger.

And so, Alice became Theo’s ATM.

[The soulless 9th Apostle of Destruction, the Mesmerizing Spider Alice has repaid 50 billion Tower Coins.]

…

..

.

Unbeknownst to Theo, the more Alice repaid, the more her red aura gradually faded.

Unintentionally, Theo was purifying the red aura.

At that moment,

Rumble.

Eomdol appeared from the passage where Alice had emerged.

“Alice, come at me! I, the Destruction’s…”

Kking!

[Hey! Quickly abandon your body and come here!]

Eomdol, about to reveal its identity, was interrupted by Blackie.

“Yes!”

Following Blackie’s instruction, the main body of Eomdol hurriedly transferred its soul to a fragment beside Blackie.

[Krueger, the Destroyer of Mountains, 7th seat of the Apostles of Destruction, who has lost her soul]

Thanks to this, Sejun gained another field to practice his skill on.
