Chapter 132

1 hour before Iona appeared in front of Gonova.

“Kyoo-”

Iona arrived at the entrance of the Gravity Wizard Tower.

“Huh?! It’s Tower Lord Iona!”

The tower’s guards spotted Iona and called the wizard elders, who rushed to welcome her.

“We thought you were dead!”

“Of course, the Tower Lord would not leave us!”

“What about Gonova?”

“That’s...”

“What?”

“He’s meeting with other tower lords in the Tower Lord’s room.”

“Other tower lords?”

“Yes. It seems like the tower lords of the Fire Wizard Tower, Destruction Wizard Tower, and Meteor Wizard Tower have supported and urged Gonova.”

“Kyoo-kyoo-is that so? Good. Everyone evacuate the tower within one hour.”

“What?!”

“Kyoo-kyoo-kyoo- Don’t make me repeat myself! We are going to build a new tower on the 99th floor! Everyone, out!”

“Gasp! Yes! Everyone clear the tower! Just take what’s essential!”

The Gravity Wizard Tower will disappear today!

Witnessing Iona’s triple rage, the elder wizards quickly instructed the wizards to prepare to leave the tower.

And an hour later, when the tower was emptied, Iona appeared in front of Gonova.

“Kyoo-kyoo-kyoo-kyoo-”

“How.. how? Th...this can’t be happening...”

Gonova stammered as if he couldn’t believe his eyes.

“Ahem. The atmosphere is not good, so we’ll just get up and go.”

The three tower lords immediately panicked at Iona’s appearance.

However,

“Kyoo-kyoo-kyoo-kyoo- Where do you think you’re going?”

Iona would not allow them to escape.

“Gravity, heed my command, and amplify your strength! Gravity Control.”

Ruuuuumbleeeee.

Iona manipulated gravity, exerting ten times the force on the fleeing Tower Lords.

“Ugh! Tower Lord Gonova! What’s going on?!”

“Ee-yik! You incompetent fool! You said you handled it?!”

“Tower Lord Iona, we only found out later.”

The Tower Lords cried out, struggling under the tenfold gravity.

“Kyoo-kyoo-kyoo-kyoo-It doesn’t matter. I never liked any of you. I’ll deal with you all at once. Gravity’s power...”

These were the Tower Lords who always interfered with Iona’s business at the Wizards’ Association. Iona began preparing her magic, drawing up her energy.

‘We’re going to die!’

As Iona seriously started casting her spell, Gonova quickly tried to calm her down.

“T... Tower Lord Iona! As angry as you may be, this is the Gravity Wizard Tower! If you don’t intend to kill all the other wizards, stop!”

But

“It’s fine. There’s no one here but us. Black Hole!”

Iona had already decided to annihilate them along with the tower.

GoOOOo.

“No!!!”

A massive hole appeared, and the black hole began to suck in Gonova and the three Tower Lords.

And then,

Crack.

It began to engulf the gravity wizard tower.

“Nightmare, curse them too.”

-Hehehe. Sometimes you seem more like the Devil King than I do.

“Kyoo-quiet!”

-Fine. I’ll do as you wish.

A red mist entered the black hole and seeped into the bodies of the three Tower Lords. Dying with a curse isn’t the end. From then on, it’s the beginning of an endless nightmare.

Resist or surrender. And if they surrender, they become slaves to Nightmare, fighting forever suffering in agony without rest or death, all for Nightmare’s amusement.

And Iona’s revenge was just beginning. She planned to torture them over and over in nightmares, causing them agony once they died and became Nightmare’s slaves.

-But aren’t you sleeping too little these days?

Nightmare complained. Iona hadn’t entered the nightmare, so Nightmare naturally thought she was staying awake.

“Kyoot-Kyoot-Kyoot!”

Iona only laughed, watching the Gravity Wizard Tower disappear, without answering Nightmare’s question.

***

Sejun’s Farm on the 99th Floor of the Tower.

– Move it over here!

– Harvest the carrots now!

The black dragon statue and the white dragon statue were fervently leading the way, instructing Sejun’s farm members including rabbits, poisonous honey bees, mushroom ants, and Black Minotaurs.

However,

Pyeak?

Kreong?

The animals asked how he was.

“No. Ugh. What’s this? Why is it so cold?”

Sejun rubbed his body with his hands at the chilly feeling.

Kreong!

[Dad’s weak, that’s why!]

Cuengi grew to about 2 meters and wrapped Sejun with its body. Although it didn’t seem like that was the reason, Sejun didn’t resist, enjoying the soft and warm fur.

“Hehehe. It’s fluffy.”

Just as Sejun was about to fall back asleep in peace,

Growl!

“Master Sejun has woken up!”

Ook!

The black minotaur, wolves, and monkeys that had been waiting for Sejun to wake up approached.

“Why? Do you have something to say?”

“Master Sejun! We want to go treasure hunting too!”

Elka spoke as their representative.

“What?! Treasure hunting?”

Sejun was taken aback. Treasure hunting? While he was unconscious, Cuengi had bragged about winning the treasure hunt, which prompted the other animals to want to try it as well.

Especially the wolves, who were canine animals, were particularly keen. Finding things was their specialty, after all.

And suddenly, a treasure hunt contest was held.

“Now. You have to find silver ingots with these numbers on them.”

Sejun showed a silver ingot with his name and the number 100 engraved on it. The other silver ingots with numbers from 1 to 99 had been scattered around by the golden bat beforehand.

“The time is until lunch! Ready. Start!”

Sejun threw the ingot as hard as he could, declaring the start of the treasure hunt.

Growl!

“Yes!”

Ook!

The animals hurriedly scattered to find the treasure.

Pyeak!

Black Rabbit also followed the other animals, determined to come in first today.

And as the surroundings quieted down,

[You have used a Low Grade Skill Stone.]

[The proficiency of Farmer’s Warm Touch Lv. 4 increases by 10.]

Sejun used the Skill Stone, which he had not been able to use yesterday when he fainted, to raise his skill proficiency.

Originally, he wanted to raise the proficiency of the seed shop skill to increase the level and the variety and amount of purchasable seeds, but he could not use the Skill Stone on that skill.

Thus, he used all 45 Skill Stones found by Theo, black rabbit, and Cuengi yesterday to raise the proficiency by 740, but sadly, the level did not increase.

Then,

Pip-pip.

The singing of the golden bat, which had started working early, was heard from afar.

“I should get to work too.”

Sejun began to heal the banana tree.

[The Farmer’s Warm Touch Lv. 4 is activated.]

[The banana tree’s disease is slowly healed by your touch.]

“But Representative Theo!”

“Do they sell land deeds in the shopping district too?”

“Meow? I’ve never seen them, meow! I’ll find out next time, meow!”

It was natural that Theo didn’t know. The land deeds were unaffordable to ordinary wandering merchants due to their exorbitant price, and only the top-ranked wandering merchants could trade them.

“If you see other land deeds, buy them for me. Especially if you see the land deed for the 1st floor of the tower, be sure to buy it.”

If he had the 1st floor land deed, he could go to the 1st floor of the tower.

“Got it, meow. But does President Park want to leave the tower, meow?”

Theo looked at Sejun with sad eyes. as if asking, ‘Are you going to abandon us?’

“Huh?!”

Sejun was startled by Theo’s words.

Kreong!

[Take Cuengi with you, Dad!]

Hearing Theo’s words, Cuengi clung to Sejun’s leg.

“Don’t worry. We’re one, remember? I won’t leave without you guys.”

Although he vaguely wanted to leave the tower, he didn’t mean he was leaving. He had a home to return to here, and other family members too.

“Great! Shall we shout our motto after a long time? We are one!”

“We are one, meow!”

Kreong!

[We are one!]

On the 287th day of being stranded, Sejun, Theo, and Cuengi shouted their motto after a long time.
