Bang!

Aaah! Lady Aileen! I apologize.

The holy stone ice cube screamed as it was stepped on by Aileen.

When first stepped on by Aileen, it deeply resented the holy stone piercing and the Heart of Dark, the god of darkness, for betraying it.

Especially, it felt a great sense of betrayal by the holy stone piercing, a fellow holy stone

Bang!

Sob, sob. Please spare me. I swear I wont betray you ever again!

Eventually, it came to understand them. That dragon was incredibly formidable.

However,

Hmph! How can I believe the words of a betrayer?

Aileen was not quick to trust the words of the holy stone ice cube, given its history of betrayal.

Please believe me! Im serious!

No way! Betrayal is hard to do once, but doing it twice or thrice becomes easy. And youve already committed that difficult betrayal once. So, you deserve a harsher punishment!

And then,

Crush.

She stepped on the holy stone ice cube even harder. The holy stone seemed ready to make a vow of obedience on the spot, but Aileen did not let it do so.

Hmph! How dare you betray our Sejun? Aileen planned to punish the holy stone ice cube more before making it swear an oath.

Aaaargh!

The holy stone ice cube screamed under Aileens foot.

Then,

Whirr.

A blue light began to emanate from the holy stone ice cube being stepped on by Aileen. The intense pressure seemed to have triggered its evolution.

Oh?!

Aileen was taken aback by this development.

Im stepping on you to punish you, and you evolve?

Since it was beneficial for Sejun, Aileen continued stepping on the holy stone ice cube, aiding its evolution.

***

What?! You think Ill listen to you

Immortal, resisted Sejuns command to summon the Black Skeletons. Youre asking for a beating.

This wont do. Guys, its time for the Meow-Meow-Kru-Storm Fist!

Sejun ordered Theo and Cuengi to perform a combined attack.

Immortal might genuinely be destroyed, but there was no other choice since it refused to listen.

Chairman Park, understood, meow! Cuengi, are you ready meow?

Click.

Theo responded and placed his front paw on Sejuns knee.

Krueng!

[Ready!]

Cuengi also responded, placing his front paw on Sejuns knee. It was a ritual to include Sejun in their combined attack.

The two finished preparing for the combined attack.

Here we go, meow! Meow-meow! Meow-Meow

Kruuueng!

Theos meow-meow fist and Cuengis roar combined into the Meow-Meow-Kru-Storm Fist, launching towards Immortal.

Crunch.

Immortals body was pulverized to an almost invisible size. The surrounding terrain was altered as a side effect.

Ssssss.

The shattered pieces of Immortals body began to gather and regenerate. Fortunately, Immortals life was as persistent as one would expect from an Immortal King.

But,

Huff, huff, huff.

Immortal struggled to regenerate his body, reduced to dust.

He was thought to be immune to physical force, but it seemed even that had limits in the face of extreme physical force.

If you so wish to die Arise, my swords!

Still not wanting to endure the Meow-Meow-Kru-Storm Fist again, Immortal obediently summoned the Black Skeletons. It was practically a surrender.

And then,

Boom, boom.

At your command, Immortal King.

Following Immortals command, 50 Black Skeletons emerged from the ground.

Kill that man!

Yes, as the king commands!

Swoosh.

Following Immortals order, the Black Skeletons drew their swords and charged at Sejun.

Then,

Cuengi, hold them.

Sejun, with no intention to fight the Black Skeletons directly, instructed Cuengi.

And then,

Krueng! Krueng!

[Understood! Holding them!]

Cuengi stretched his front paws forward and used telekinesis to immobilize the Black Skeletons.

Rainfall.

In the meantime, Sejun soaked the ground sufficiently to ensure good electrical conductivity.

Thunder Throw!

Thunder Throw!

After dropping lightning on the Black Skeletons summoned by Immortal 10 times,

Boom!ALL new chapters on nov(e)lbin(.)com

[You have learned Basic Swordsmanship Lv. 1.]

[The proficiency of Basic Swordsmanship Lv. 1 has been filled and the level has increased.]

[The proficiency of Basic Swordsmanship Lv. 2 has been filled and the level has increased.]

..

.

[You have mastered Basic Swordsmanship.]

[You have learned Intermediate Swordsmanship Lv. 1.]

Along with the messages, Sejun instantly acquired Intermediate Swordsmanship Lv. 1. As a knight who had practiced swordsmanship all his life, Sis had profound insight into the art.

Wow!

When Sejun took out his dagger, he felt a different sensation than before.

This gave Sejun even more reason to liberate the Black Skeletons.

Thunder Throw!

So Sejun continued to cast thunder late into the night.

Ah. Im exhausted.

Completely drained of magical power, Sejun was worn out.

However, during that time, he managed to liberate two more Black Skeletons, his Intermediate Swordsmanship skill reached Level 5, and he also learned Intermediate Spear Technique Lv. 1 and Intermediate Shield Technique Lv. 1.

Immortal, who provided both experience points and skills, was a complete treasure trove for Sejun.

Eek! My swords!!!

Meanwhile, Immortal, who could only watch as the souls it controlled attained nirvana and escaped its grasp, was grinding its teeth in frustration towards Sejun.

But then,

Kyoot, kyoot, kyoot. Im back!

Swoosh.

As Iona, who had burned down the entire fourth-floor experience farm, returned, Immortal suddenly became silent.

Being a magician himself, Immortal feared Iona more than Theo and Cuengi, who attacked physically. Thanks to her, Sejun could spend his time quietly.

99th floor of the Tower.

[Here. Eat this.]

Flamies roots handed a drop of liquid to Podoris roots. Although it was just a drop, it contained tremendous nutrients.

[Um Flamie~nim]

Podori hesitated to accept the liquid.

[Huh?! Oh, dont worry. Im eating much more than what Im giving you.]

Flamie reassured Podori, thinking it was hesitating to accept the gift out of concern for her.

[Ah Its not that Im just full.]

[What?!]

Flamie was taken aback by Podoris response. Did I hear that wrong?

But,

[Im really full.]

Gathering courage, Podori conveyed its feelings. With Flamie providing such nutrient-rich liquid incessantly, Podori was suffering from indigestion.

Fwoosh.

You are so full?! I never had anyone to give me such things!!! Flamies roots began to heat up with anger at Podoris unexpected response.

[Um Flamie~nim, please calm down Ill eat it! I will!]

Startled by Flamies fiery reaction, Podori hurriedly tried to calm Flamie down.

[Podori, how can you become the World Tree like this? Huh?! Eat it quickly! Ill make you the World Tree in no time.]

Flamie spoke as if to assure complete trust in herself.

And then,

[Yes ]

Podori, under Flamies insistence, was forced to absorb the liquid.

I shouldnt have said I was a candidate for the World Tree

Podori regretted it too late.

The next morning.

Alright!

After building an mud house using Mylers hoe and taking out a mattress from the void storage for a good nights sleep, Sejun woke up refreshed.

Then,

Guys, time to wake up.

Sejun woke up the animals. He needed to take out food ingredients from the void storage for breakfast, but couldnt open it alone since Immortal was also locked inside.

Meow

Krueng

Kyoot

After spending 10 minutes waking up the animals,

Puhuhut. Leave it to me, meow!

Krueng!

[Cuengi is hungry!]

They were ready to open the void storage.

After having a quick breakfast,

Thunder Throw.

Sejun made Immortal summon Black Skeletons and then dropped thunder on them.

Boom!

Sejun started off with a strong thunderbolts, using a lot of magic power. Although this method quickly exhausted his magic power, this time he had something to rely on.

Kyoot, kyoot, kyoot. Power of magic, heed my command and transfer my magic power. Magic Power Transfer.

Iona used her own magic power to replenish Sejuns.

Although it was an inefficient spell, consuming 100 of her magic power to restore only 5 of Sejuns (efficiency 5%), it was perfectly suited for the situation.

Thanks to Ionas help, Sejun could use his skills liberally without worrying about his magic power,

[Your proficiency in Rain Thunder Lv. 4 has increased, leveling up the skill.]

The level of the Rain Thunder skill increased again, strengthening the power of purification in the thunder and weakening Immortals soul control more rapidly.

Day 356 of being stranded. The morning before the Black Rabbits wedding passed like this.
