Vincent, following Togan’s orders to purchase alcohol and food for a party, stepped out of the hideout with one of his subordinates.
“Huh?! What’s that?”
He saw a floating space in the air. Vincent and his subordinate cautiously approached the space with an iron door.
“Stand by.”
“Yes.”
Vincent left his subordinate on standby and went inside.
“Crops?”
Inside were boxes filled with various crops. There seemed to be at least thousands of boxes.
And then,
[Power Potato]
[Stamina Corn]
··
..
.
“What the?! These are Park Sejun’s crops!”
Vincent was shocked upon recognizing the contents of the boxes. He didn’t understand why they were here, but that wasn’t important now. These were all money!
“Quickly, bring Master Togan here!”
“Yes!”
At Vincent’s command, his subordinate hurried back to the cave.
“Hehehe.”
Vincent began to rummage through the void storage quickly. He planned to grab a few valuable crops before Togan arrived.
“What’s this?”
Pop!
When he opened a glass bottle filled with liquid, a strong alcohol smell wafted out.
“Oh! There’s alcohol too.”
Vincent, having discovered soju stored in the warehouse, cheerfully grabbed a few bottles.
Just then,
Kuehehehe. Krueng!
[Hehehe. This is exciting!]
A strange noise came from inside.
‘What’s that?!’
Vincent, hiding his presence as much as possible, cautiously approached the source of the sound.
Krueng!
[Next up, carrots!]
A small bear, roughly the height of one’s knee and seemingly having wandered in lured by the smell of food, was busily stuffing carrots into a pouch it was carrying.
“What the? A bear cub? Hey, scram!”
Relieved, Vincent revealed himself and kicked towards Cuengi, venting his frustration for being made tense for no reason.
However,
Krueng!
[It’s a thief!]
With surprising agility, Cuengi simply caught Vincent’s foot,
Krueng!
[Cuengi will chase the thief away!]
“Uh?!”
Screech.
The bear began dragging Vincent outside.
Thwack! Thwack!
While being dragged away by Cuengi, Vincent drew his sword and attacked Cuengi’s back in resistance, but Cuengi’s hide was incredibly tough. His sword couldn’t even cut through the fur, let alone the hide.
‘What the heck is this creature?!’
Vincent, realizing too late that something was amiss, suddenly remembered just how dangerous a bear could be. Right. Bears can rip people apart.
“Let go! Save me......”
Vincent tried to call for help with a voice filled with fear, but
Krueng!
[Punishment for thieves!]
But it was already too late. Cuengi had flung Vincent forcefully outside the entrance.
Bang!
As Vincent hit the ground hard, his unfinished plea for mercy became his last words.
And then,
-This damn bear cub!!!
From Vincent’s body, a light shone, and a giant blue snake revealed itself.
Krueng!
[Cuengi will protect Daddy’s warehouse!]
Cuengi, stood at the entrance of the void storage, stretched its short legs as wide as he could, and roared towards the blue snake as if guarding it..
***
As Sejun was coming up the stairs,
Krueng!
[No one steals food from Daddy’s warehouse!]
Sejun saw Cuengi deliver a furious uppercut to the jaw of the giant blue snake.
Bang!!!
-Argh!
Hit by Cuengi’s uppercut, the blue snake was flung into the air.
Ssshhh.
Clink.
The snake’s body turned to dust, and a bronze coin fell from the sky.
“An Apostle of Destruction?”
Sejun spoke, watching the falling bronze coin. The presence of an Apostle of Destruction meant the Three Head Society was nearby.
“Vice Chairman Theo and Golden Bat, please check whether the Three Head Society’s hideout is located somewhere in this area.”
“Understood, meow!”
(Yes!)
Theo rushed over quickly, checking Sejun’s knee.
“I’m fine. It’s just a scratch.”
Since it wasn’t a serious wound, Sejun treated it lightly and was about to pick up the fallen coins.
But,
“Stay still, meow! I will heal it, meow!”
Press. Press.
Theo hurriedly climbed onto Sejun’s knee and began gently massaging the injured spot with his front paw. It was a healing massage, and the wound began to heal quickly.
“Thank you.”
“Puhuhut. Of course, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, will protect Chairman Park’s knee, meow!”
Theo puffed out his chest, looking quite pleased with himself.
“Okay.”
While Sejun was appreciating him and stroking Theo’s head,
“Huh?”
Sejun’s gaze met that of Togan, who was sneakily picking up the bronze coins the silver snake had just dropped.
***
Togan, who had barely escaped with one subordinate after throwing his men to the golden bats that had suddenly attacked the hideout.
That’s when,
“What’s that guy?”
Togan saw Sejun, who was at the lakeside, examining the coins Vincent had dropped at his death. A straw hat and shabby clothes. He didn’t look strong at all.
“Bring me that bronze coin.”
“Yes!”
Togan ordered his subordinate to assassinate Sejun and retrieve the bronze coin, but instead, the subordinate was defeated by Sejun, and the sixth head of the sealed Hydra was unleashed.
‘It’s actually a good thing. It will sweep them all away.’
Togan hoped that Hydra’s sixth head would annihilate all the enemies around.
However,
“Meow meow meow! Meow meow meow!”
The sixth head of the Hydra died, chopped into thousands of pieces by the sudden appearance of a cat wildly flailing in the air.
‘What in the world is happening?!’
Realizing the unfavorable situation, Togan hid himself deeper.
That’s when,
-Swallow the bronze coin dropped by the sixth head.
A voice resounded in Togan’s mind.
“I can’t! If we come out now, we’ll die!”
Togan resisted the opinion formed by the voice in his head. It was too dangerous.
-Don’t worry. If you swallow that coin, no one can stop us.
“Really?”
-Yes. I am the first head of Hydra, that commands all heads. I can take down all enemies.
“I will trust you, then.”
Quietly moving, Togan picked up the bronze coin.
‘I’ve done it!’
As Togan celebrated internally,
That’s when,
“Huh?!”
His eyes met with Sejun’s, who was petting Theo.
-Swallow the bronze coin quickly!
Gulp.
Togan, having locked eyes with Sejun, quickly swallowed two the bronze coins as the first head of the Hydra had commanded.
-Kekeke. Well done.
Togan’s body began to glow after swallowing the coins.
***
-Kekeke. Such overflowing power!
-I may have been careless before, but this time will be different!
In front of Sejun appeared a snake with two heads appeared, a black snake twice the size of the silver snake that had appeared earlier, with the silver one right next to it, with only a head emerging.
“What the?”
As Sejun was taken aback,
“Chairman Park, don’t worry, meow! I’ll protect you, meow!”
Theo quickly shielded Sejun.
And then,
Krueng! Krueng!
[Cuengi has filled the snack pouch! Oh? Another bad snake?]
Dadada.
Cuengi, who had filled his snack pouch, rushed out of the void storage and, upon finding the Apostle of Destruction, hurriedly ran to stand in front of Sejun.
“Hehehe. Come at me.”
With Theo on the left and Cuengi on the right standing firmly, Sejun overflowed with confidence.
-Kekeke. Try to stop this! Assist the sixth head.
-Understood.
The black snake inhaled deeply and spat a black liquid toward Sejun,
Whoosh.
and the silver snake blew wind to spread the black liquid further.
‘That looks dangerous.’
Sejun sensed something ominous about the black liquid. Even a single drop seemed deadly poisonous.
“Guys, eat this.”
Sejun hurriedly handed detoxifying green onions to Theo and Cuengi.
Crunch. Crunch.
“Vice Chairman Theo, use Meow-meow Storm Fist! Cuengi, use Krueng-hooo!”
Sejun, too, quickly ate a detoxifying green onion and instructed Theo and Cuengi. If they were combining their attacks, so would his side!
“Understood, meow!”
Krueng!
[Understood!]
Following Sejun’s command, Theo and Cuengi used their skills simultaneously.
