Chapter 89

TL: Hanguk

67th floor of the tower.

The bodies of most Red Locusts had turned purple. Their numbers were close to 7 billion, on the verge of evolving into Purple Locusts.

The Sturdy Blade Onion Leaves wilted after killing a few of the Red Locusts due to their increased toxicity.

And the locusts were freely flying towards the Lizardmen’s stronghold.

“Don’t back down! Stop the enemies!”

Lizardman Grand Warrior Tamuro shouted at his soldiers, seeing the purple wave covering the sky.

However, the enemy’s poison was a problem.

“Ugh... Save me.”

Soldiers were dying from poisoning, just by being splattered with blood.

“Do not confront them directly! Attack them with bows or magic!”

However, it was impossible to block nearly 7 billion with only ranged attacks. The Red Locusts began attacking the archers and magicians.

Then,

Awoo!

The Silver Wolves, who had been resting in the rear, stepped forward to protect the archers and magicians. They had detoxifying green onions provided by Sejun in case of an emergency.

Thanks to them, the Grand Warrior Tamuro, who now had a breather, requested reinforcements after informing them of the situation.

***

The first to initiate the attack was Cuengi. Cuengi no longer needed to hold back his strength for his father’s sake, went all out.

And then,

Kueong!

Cuengi began to enlarge the Enhanced Branch of the Corrupted Ent, infusing it with magic.Rread latest chapters at n/ov(e)lbin(.)co/m

Kueong.

The branch absorbed magic and grew massively.

Kueong!!!

Cuengi swung the branch that had grown to 20m in an instant with all his might.

Boooom. Kwaang!

A massive shockwave radiated from Cuengi, obliterating everything in a 50m radius in a fan shape.

[Guard Cuengi has killed the Sticky Flower Attacker.]

[You’ve gained 600 experience points, 50% of the experience points earned by Guard Cuengi.]

[You’ve leveled up.]

[You’ve gained 1 bonus stat.]

“Wow.”

Sejun leveled up with just one attack from Cuengi.

And then,

“Meoow! Do not block President Theo’s way, meow!”

Squeak!

Squeak!

Theo, Black Rabbit, and ChuChu scattered in different directions, killing monsters where Cuengi’s attack didn’t reach.

[Guard Theo has killed the Poisonous Fog Flower Attacker.]

[You’ve gained 750 experience points, 50% of the experience points earned by Guard Theo.]

...

..

.

[You’ve leveled up.]

[You’ve gained 1 bonus stat.]

Thanks to them, Sejun leveled up once again.

Then,

“Kyoot! Power of magic! Obey my command and destroy the enemy! Ray of Destruction!”

Iona, holding the Staff of Disaster, used magic. Iona seemed to be overflowing with energy, perhaps because she had a good sleep.

Ziiing.

A red beam with a diameter of about 1m was shot from the black gem at the end of the staff, heading towards the center of the western forest.

A moment later,

Booooom!

With a huge explosion, a part of the center of the western forest disappeared. It wasn’t for nothing that she was called a destructive wizard.

[Guard Iona has defeated the corrupted young Ent.]

[You’ve gained 5000 experience points, 50% of the experience points earned by Guard Iona.]

[You have leveled up.]

“Wow...”

His mouth fell open involuntarily. With one magic attack, he had leveled up three times in a row and reached level 37.

But

“Iona, leave the bodies. The Ents need to eat.”

Sejun had to restrain Iona. All the bodies of the corrupted Ents had disappeared due to the recent attack.

“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot . Yes, Mr. Sejun.”

Iona responded and prepared another magic spell.

“Oh, power of ice. At my command...”

As Sejun was telling Cuengi that it should also leave the bodies behind while watching Iona chanting a spell,

“Avalanche!”

Iona used magic.

Squeak!

At Sejun’s request, ChuChu used magic to gather the wood and start a fire.

“Thanks. Here you go.”

Sejun handed the rabbits some carrots. The rabbits were perfectly satisfied with just the carrots.

Crunch. Crunch.

While the black rabbit and ChuChu were enjoying their carrots, Sejun roasted some fish on the fire made by ChuChu, while shelling peanuts from their hulls.

Then, he started roasting about 100 peanuts in a pot. It was roasted peanuts to be given to Iona, who performed the best today.

Sizzle.

As Sejun constantly stirred the peanuts with a wooden spatula to prevent them from burning,

Crackle.

The sound was made and the savory smell of peanuts began to fill the air.

“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot.”

Iona couldn’t hide her smile as she smelled the savory peanuts.

As the smell and color of the peanuts deepened, Sejun started to cool the pot by placing it on the ground.

“Gulp. Can I eat it now?”

Iona, swallowing her saliva, couldn’t help but ask.

“Yes, but it’s hot, so eat it slowly.”

“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. Okay! Wind.”

Iona cooled down the peanuts quickly with a wind magic and began to eat. In the meantime, he shared the grilled fish, nicely browned, with Theo who was on his lap.

“It’s quite spacious here.”

As Sejun looked around while eating the grilled fish, When all the monsters were wiped out, it looked more like an open field than a forest.

Plus,

Swish.

“The soil is good too.”

Sejun touched the soil and said,

“I want to plow this field.”

He felt greedy. But right now, he couldn’t even fully manage the land he had. Sejun decided to wait for later.

“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. I’m full.”

Iona patted her bloated stomach and climbed onto Sejun’s lap.

“Where are you climbing, meow!”

“kyoo-I do what I want!”

Iona was offended by Theo’s response and got angry.

“So do I!”

Despite seeing Iona’s terrifying magic just moments ago, Theo was not scared.

‘Hehehe. With Sejun, I am invincible, meow! Plus, I am now President Theo right now, meow!’

Although It was a strange logic, it gave Theo confidence. And the one who had trouble because of it was Sejun.

“Guys...”

If they started to fight here, he would be in serious danger.

“Ah! Iona, can you look at this void prison? Can it be upgraded?”

Sejun quickly diverted Iona’s attention.

“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. I’ll try!”

When the great black dragon asked her for a magical request, Iona was moved and went inside the void prison to inspect the inside.

“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. This is an old version using triple layered magic. I think I can improve it!”

Iona analyzed the magic system of the void prison and spoke with a confident voice.

“I’ll close the prison door for a while.”

Creak.

Iona closed the door of the void prison and began to upgrade it.

“That was a close one.”

Sejun felt relieved. Fortunately, he was able to prevent a fight and even upgrade the void prison.

“Theo, get along with Iona.”

“I understand, meow. Since President Park says so, I’ll give in a bit, meow.”

When Sejun was pacifying Theo by stroking his stomach,

[The Tower Administrator reports that a green alarm has appeared.]

Aileen reported to Sejun that a green alarm had appeared.

“A green alarm?”

[The Tower’s Administrator appoints you as the Tower’s Mid-level Administrator to prevent the extinction of the Jewel Frog in the 67th floor swamp of the tower.]

“The 67th floor of the tower?”

[You will be moved to the swamp of Navia on the 67th floor of the tower in 30 seconds.]

[You can bring your subordinates with you.]

[Please designate who will go with you.]

Sejun hurriedly selected Theo, Black Rabbit, Cuengi, and ChuChu, who were in front of him.

[Subordinate designation is complete.]

Fortunately, thanks to the growth of Aileen’s dragon heart, he was able to designate all four.

“Huh? What about Iona?”

Just when Sejun was about to open the void prison in a hurry,

[You are being moved to the Navia Swamp on the 67th floor of the tower.]

[You cannot move more than 100m away from Navia Swamp.]

Sejun and the animals disappeared.

And

Munch Munch.

Only the Ents were left in the western forest, busily eating the trees.

Thud.

They were the Ents who have been picking seeds from each other’s heads, since there was no other Ent to pick seeds for them unit now, they had previously asked Sejun to pick them.

Crunch.

New Ents sprouted in the western forest.
