Chapter 301: Let's Spar!

Chapter 301: Let's Spar!

TL: Hanguk

Black Towers Administrator Area.

Kehehehe.

Aileen laughed as she connected the black glossy string to make a necklace with Kai-ras heart shard.

Click.

Its finally time to give Sejun his gift!

Aileen, holding the necklace, wore a solemn expression. It took quite a long time just to give one gift.

Sejun, come out to the waypoint alone. I have something for you.

Aileen called Sejun to an isolated place to avoid any collateral damage.

Ah! Bring Theo along, Sejun.

Just in case, Aileen told him to bring Theo along.

***

You have something for me?

Hehehe. A gift?

Got it.

Following Aileens words, Sejun got excited and stood up to head towards the waypoint.

Tororong.

Ppyerorong.

Kurorong.

Pirorong.

Fortunately, the other animals had eaten their fill in the morning and were now taking a nap.

Then

Ssssrk.

Puhuhut. Chairman Park, look at this, meow! My fur doesnt fall out anymore, meow!

Theo bragged about how even with vigorous movement and running around, his fur didnt shed.

Thanks to Talent: Strong Fur.

Thats how Theo boasted about his strong fur.

Now I should rest, meow.

After finishing his bragging,

Theo clung to Sejuns legs.

Kkuhng. Aileen told me to come alone, but

Once he clings like this, its at least takes an hour.

As Sejun pondered how to detach Theo,

[The Towers administrator says to bring Theo along.]

Got it! Lets go, Vice Chairman Theo!

Puhuhut. Good, meow! Lets go, meow!

Theo, excited to go anywhere with Sejun without knowing where, shouted.

And Sejun moved towards the waypoint with Theo.

***

Black Tower 99th Floor, South Area.

The habitat of the fire ants.

Kieeeek!

The fire ant swarm rushed towards the invaders of their territory.

But there were only two intruders.

Moonlight Slash!

Veronica swung her dagger horizontally towards the incoming fire ants,

Whoosh.

A semi-circular blade of energy sliced through the fire ants.

Approximately 3,000 fire ants died in one strike.

Then

Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Veronica, not bad. Power of light, burn the enemies. Cannon Beam.

A high-heat beam emitted from Ionas cute front paws incinerated 5,000 fire ants.

Not bad? Im just getting warmed up! Full Moon Slash!

Veronica, holding twin daggers, pulled her arms back then swung them forward dramatically,

Whoong.

This time, two semi-circular blades of energy formed a circle, slaughtering 10,000 fire ants.

Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Im getting warmed up a bit too. Power of wind, crush the enemies. Air Press.

Bang!

With Ionas magic, a violent windstorm from the sky struck the ground.

The tremendous pressure created by the wind crushed 20,000 fire ants to death.

Good. But Im not done yet! Moonlight Dance!

Veronica then swung her twin daggers, spilling blood-colored energy blades in all directions.

Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Same here! Power of ice

The two slaughtering fire ants.

The reason they were doing this from morning was to see who was stronger.

Iona and Veronica were competing to see who could kill more fire ants, determining the second in command of the Black Tower.

On the way to the waypoint

Chairman Park, where are we going, meow?

Theo finally became curious about their destination.

Aileen has something for us at the waypoint.

Puhuhut. Aileen noona is giving a gift, meow?

Probably.

Puhuhut.

Hehehe.

Laughing like fools, the two arrived at the waypoint.

Aileen, Im here.

As Sejun called for Aileen,

[The Towers administrator says to receive this first.]

What is that?!

Fortunately, a boat that had left the island for fishing was able to request support from mainland Japan, buying some time to prepare for the giant leeches.

And

Squish. Squelch.

Around the same time, giant leeches also landed in Russia, the Philippines, and New Zealand.

***

An hour had passed since Aileen left.

Ugh.

Sejun finally regained consciousness.

Press. Press.

He felt Theos front paws pressing down on his face.

Then

[The Towers administrator asks if youre okay.]

Aileen asked.

Huh? Oh Im Im fine.

Stuttering, Sejun recalled the moment he fainted.

It was incredibly embarrassing. To faint during a kiss

Because of that, Sejun felt utterly deflated.

Chairman Park, are you okay now, meow?

Theo asked him.

Yeah. Im fine.

Puhuhut. I, Vice Chairman Theo, am happy to see Chairman Park becoming stronger, meow!

Theo said with a happy expression, looking at Sejun.

Ive become stronger?

Thats right! If it were the old Chairman Park, you would have fainted at the sight of Aileen noona, meow!

Hehehe. Is that so?

Right. Ive grown! Encouraged by Theos words, Sejuns confidence, which had nearly hit rock bottom, began to rise again.

And

Puhuhut. Thats right, meow! This time, I also struggled, but Chairman Park gave me strength, meow! Chairman Park is amazing, meow!

The continuous praise from Theo was like a pump to Sejuns confidence.

Thanks to that, Sejun fully regained his confidence. Just dont faint next time.

Hehehe. Vice Chairman Theo, lets go back.

Click.

As Sejun extended his leg,

Puhuhut. Understood, meow!

Snap.

Theo quickly clung to Sejuns leg in response.

Lets go!

Sejun returned to the farm with Theo hanging on.

Aileen noona, did I do well, meow?

Theo, hanging on Sejuns leg, secretly talked to Aileen.

[The Towers administrator says it was excellent praise.]

[The Towers administrator says they will give you a special reward later.]

Puhuhut. Understood, meow!

Squeeze.

Happy with Aileens words, Theo hugged Sejuns leg tightly.

Anticipating that Sejun would lose confidence upon waking up, Aileen had planned ahead.

Theo, when Sejun wakes up later, praise him a lot for being amazing.

Aileen had instructed Theo to praise Sejun.

Though it was a bit risky to ask Theo to act, at the moment, Theo was the only one Aileen could rely on.

But

Chairman Park knees are amazing, meow!

Theo, originally a fanatic admirer of Sejuns knees.

There was no need for Theo to pretend in praising Sejun. It was all genuine.

However, it seems Theos confidence boost was a bit too much.

Minotaur 3008, lets spar!

Sejun fearlessly challenged the youngest of the Black Minotaurs seen in the distance.

Moo?

[Are you sure?]

Yep!

Sejun shouted with bravado. Hehehe. Im not the old me!

Moo!

[Then here I come!]

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Minotaur 3008 charged in response to Sejuns answer.

[The Towers administrator urgently shouts to knock Sejun out quickly.]

Aileen hurriedly called out to Theo.

Chairman Park, why are you trying to get yourself killed, meow?! Thats not allowed, meow!

Thump!

Shocked, Theo struck the back of Sejuns neck,

Hmm!

Seeing Sejun pass out, Minotaur 3008 quickly stopped.

Drag. Drag. Drag.

Eventually, Sejun was dragged away by Theo

Kking

Zzzzz

And lay down to sleep next to Fenrir, who had fainted after eating black royal jelly.
