Chapter 90

TL: Hanguk

“Sejun can handle it well, right?”

Aileen was thinking about Sejun, who had gone to the 67th floor of the tower.

The Red Locust did worry her, but

“The other animals will protect Sejun well.”

Since other animals had also gone with him, Aileen wasn’t overly worried.

Then,

[The population of the Red Locust on the 67th floor of the tower has exceeded 7 billion.]

[The Red Locust on the 67th floor of the tower has met the conditions for evolution.]

[The Red Locust on the 67th floor of the tower evolves into Purple Locust.]

“What?! Purple Locust?”

Aileen was taken aback upon seeing the new alert.

And then,

“Grandpa!”

She hurriedly called Kaiser.

-Oh! Aileen! Finally, do you want to have a conversation with your grandpa?

“Grandpa! The Red Locust on the 67th floor of the tower has evolved into Purple Locust! What about our Sejun?”

-If the enemy gets stronger, the reward also gets better. It’s a good thing.

“What are you talking about?! Our Sejun is in danger!”

-Stop worrying about that Sejun again! He has detoxifying green onions and he’s surrounded by animals even stronger than him! He even gained an extra skill.

“So, you’re saying we don’t need to worry about our Sejun?”

-That’s what I’m saying.Explore new novels on novelbin(.)com

“Heeheehee. Grandpa, teach me the administrator’s work quickly!”

-Hahaha. Okay. Your grandpa will teach you everything!

‘Finally, our Aileen has come to her senses.’

When Kaiser was moved,

‘Heeheehee. I’ll quickly learn the administrator’s work and see if there is anything more I can do for our Sejun.’

Aileen was thinking something else.

***

The 67th floor of the tower, Navia Swamp.

Swoosh.

[You have arrived at the Navia Swamp on the 67th floor of the tower.]

[From now on, find and remove the cause that threatens the extinction of the Jewel frogs.]

A bright light flashed, and Sejun and the animals appeared.

Squish.

“Ugh. What is this?”

As soon as he arrived, his shoes were soaked with water and the damp feeling inside them made Sejun’s expression crumple. The same was true for the animals that had come with Sejun.

“I hate this feeling, meow!”

Squeak!

kueng!

Pi Ppi!

The animals frowned as their fur got wet.

Flap. Flap

Suddenly, the sound of wings flapping could be heard nearby.

“Huh?”

Nearly fifty thousand Red Locusts, now almost purple, were flying towards Sejun and the animals from all directions.

“What?!”

“These creatures!”

Squeak!

Roar!

Pi Ppi!

The animals surrounded Sejun and blocked the approach of the Red Locusts.

“Meow! I, President Theo, will protect President Park, meow!”

Swoosh.

Theo extended his claws and slaughtered the Red Locusts, and

Squeak!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Black Rabbit swung its hammer, crushing the Red Locusts.

And then,

Grrr!

Boom. Bang!

Cuengi enlarged its body to about 3m and extended the enhanced branch of the corrupted ent to about 5m, destroying the Red Locusts with the wind pressure created by the full swing of the branch.

Pi Ppi!

Splash.

Finally, ChuChu used the water attribute magic, Water Cannon, and shot high-pressure water to kill the Red Locusts.

[Guard Theo has killed the Red Locust.]

[You have acquired 5 experience points, 50% of the experience points earned by Guard Theo.]

...

..

.

Maybe because they’re weak, the experience points were small.

When the animals began to deal with the Red Locusts,

[You have found the cause of the extinction of the Jewel frogs in the Navia Swamp on the 67th floor of the tower.]

[A Mid-level Administrator quest has been triggered.]

Just as Sejun, who had swallowed the green onion, was about to scold Theo

“President Park, look down, meow!”

“Down? Huh?!”

The water around Sejun had turned purple.

[You have been poisoned by a D-rank nerve poison.]

[Detoxified.]

Had Theo given him the detoxifying green onion a bit later, it would have been dangerous. The poisonous blood from the Red Locusts had flowed into the swamp.

“President Theo, you...”

Sejun was moved by Theo, who had saved his life.

However,

“President Park, that was close, meow! Be careful, meow!”

As Theo spoke while rubbing his face against Sejun’s knee, Sejun cooled off. That’s just who he was.

“President Theo, where did you get the detoxifying green onions?”

“I’ve packed goods to sell in advance in my bag, meow! I am always a well-prepared, excellent wandering merchant, meow!”

Theo proudly showed off his bag.

“Good job.”

Sejun stroked the head of Theo hanging on his knee.

“I want to eat Churu, meow!”

“Not here. I’ll give you some later.”

“Okay, meow!”

Thanks to Theo, Sejun was less worried about the poison for the time being. Sejun also fed the detoxifying green onions to the other animals as well. They had stronger resistance to poison than Sejun, but they could be in danger if they were continuously exposed to it.

“But is this really okay?”

Sejun looked at the swamp that had turned purple and wore a serious expression. He was worried about the jewel frogs that were endangered.

***

The 67th floor of the tower, Lizardman’s base.

“Block them!”

“Hold on!”

“Don’t let a single one enter the waypoint!”

Lizardmen, freelance mercenaries, and the Silver Wolf tribe were desperately defending the waypoint.

However, they were lacking in long-range firepower to stop the red locusts who were pushing in with sheer numbers. They were starting to get pushed back.

‘Damn it! When is the reinforcement coming?! We’ll be breached in a few hours at this rate!’

The Lizardman Great Warrior Tamuro felt bitter about the reinforcements that didn’t come despite waiting.

Then

Flap. Flap

About a quarter of the red locust forces started to change direction and head east. This gave them some respite.

“Rest and recover your strength in turns!”

‘What’s happening over there? That’s where Navia Swamp is...’

After giving orders to his soldiers, Tamuro looked in the direction the red locusts were flying and thought.

***

Inside a rock cave.

Chomp chomp chomp.

‘Puhuhut. It’s so good without Iona, meow.’

Theo was sitting on Sejun’s lap, eating Churu. Sejun and the other animals were drying their clothes by the fire.

Just then

Hop Hop.

Twenty frogs with various gems embedded in their foreheads approached. They were jewel frogs.

“Did the treatment go well?”

When Sejun put his hand on the jewel frog’s body and asked

Ribbit Ribbit.

[Thank you. Thanks to you, our friends have become healthy.]

Ribbit Ribbit.

As the jewel frog bowed its head, the other jewel frogs also expressed their gratitude to Sejun.

Sejun met the jewel frogs while he was wandering around the swamp, which had turned purple, searching for the habitat of the jewel frogs. He thought the jewel frogs would be in danger since the water had been contaminated with poison.

While searching for the jewel frogs

Ribbit...

Black rabbit heard the faint voice of a jewel frog.

Squeak!

Then, the black rabbit led Sejun to a place where he found a jewel frog dying from poison.

“Eat this for now.”

When Sejun fed the jewel frog a detoxifying green onion to detoxify it,

Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit!

[Thank you! My friends are also sick from drinking purple water! Please help them!]

The revived jewel frog asked Sejun for help and they were now waiting in the habitat of the jewel frogs for them to fully recover.

“That’s good. We’ll handle things here, so don’t come out for a few days.”

Sejun shouted out to the jewel frogs and came out of the large crevice where the jewel frogs lived.

Whirrrrr, Rrrrrr

As soon as he came out, he was greeted by 1.5 billion purple locusts.

“...?!”

Sejun froze at the astronomical number.

Then

Bang!

“Hehehe. Sejun, I’ve finished upgrading! It’s now using quintuple layered magic!”

Iona appeared, opening the door to the void prison storage with both hands.
