Chapter 436: No! The house is getting farther away!

TL: Hanguk

Today, as usual, Piyot was gaining experience by collecting Uren’s debts, aiming to become Theo’s excellent right front paw.

‘Piyihihi. Today, I collected 1 billion Tower Coins!’

After tailing a debtor who claimed to be broke for several days, Piyot discovered assets under another name and managed to collect the debt.

Theo~nim will be pleased, right?!

With a joyful heart, Piyot headed to the 99th floor of the tower where Theo was.

However, there was something much more difficult than collecting Uren’s money.

Piyo!

[As expected, Uren-nim is really unlucky!]

“Kkuik! Sorry!”

Wherever Uren went, he constantly encountered fragments of the Apostle of Destruction.

The types of Apostles of Destruction they met were varied. It seemed like they had encountered Apostles from 3rd to the 12th seat at least once.

Of course, if the two of them joined forces, they could easily defeat one, but

But if it’s three, it’s a different story!

The 4th seat of the Apostle of Destruction, Melpheus, the Demon of Ruin,

The 7th seat of the Apostle of Destruction, Krueger, the Destroyer of Mountains,

And the 10th seat of the Apostle of Destruction, Hydra, the Nine-headed Snake.

-Capture them! I sense Fenrir’s aura from them!

-Stop! Explain the Fenrir’s aura coming from you!

-Hand over the Fenrir’s Core Fragmen!

They were currently being chased by fragments of three Apostles of Destruction.

At first, there were two, so they ran away, but while escaping, they encountered another one, making it three.

In typical unfortunate Uren fashion, he always seemed to go where the enemies were.

Then,

-Come quickly. Into the arms of me, Shasha, the Queen of Screams and Ice.

An enemy was blocking their path.

Piyo!

[Uren-nim, break through!]

With both ends blocked, breaking through was the only option.

“Got it! Turn to gold!”

Uren ran forward, extending his front paw to Shasha, who momentarily turned to gold.

In that time, Piyot and Uren escaped, and when Shasha returned to her original form, she tried to attack them,

-Die...?!

-Shasha, what are you doing?!

She attacked her comrades instead, and thanks to the collision between the Apostles of Destruction, Piyot and Uren luckily managed to shake them off.

After shaking off the Apostles of Destruction, the two ran for another hour before

Piyo!

[That was really dangerous this time!]

“Indeed...”

They took a brief rest.

Piyo?

[But didn’t the Apostles mention handing over Fenrir’s Core Fragment earlier?]

“Yeah, I heard it too.”

Piyo...Piyo?

[Don’t tell me... Uren-nim, it’s not you, right?]

When Piyot looked at him with suspicious eyes,

“Me?! No way!”

Uren strongly denied it, shaking both front hooves.

However,

Could it really be me?

With a nagging doubt, he rummaged through his belongings.

And then,

“Piyot, I’m sorry.”

Uren apologized as he pulled out Fenrir’s Core Fragment.

He had picked up some nice-looking stones, intending to turn them into gold later, and among them was Fenrir’s Core Fragment.

As expected, an unlucky person is unlucky no matter what they do.

Piyo! Piyo!!!

[Uren-nim! %!$@!]

Thanks to that, an immensely furious Piyot scolded Uren so harshly that his white feathers seemed to turn red.

***

99th floor of the Black Tower.

“Hello.”

“Nice to see you, dragon-nims, meow!”

Kueng!

[Hello, Dragon-nims!]

When Sejun, Theo, and Cuengi visited the fountain where Kaiser, Kellion, Ramter, and Tier were having a drinking party and greeted them,

-Kahahaha. We’re always fine as long as our Sejun is healthy.”

-Indeed! Thanks to our Sejun, my grandson even awakened... Hahaha!

-Puhaha. Thanks to our Sejun, the Red Tower has almost returned to normal.

-I hear our Purple Tower’s living conditions have improved greatly thanks to our Sejun.

The dragons were busy praising Sejun.

Good.

The atmosphere was perfect for making a request. No, it felt like they would listen to anything he said.

“Please make a staff with these materials.”

So Sejun boldly stated his request.

-A staff?

[Staff of Suppressing Gravity] [Staff of Suppressing Gravity] [Suppression (Master)]

Shaaak.

“Sigh.”

“Whew.”

Inside, only the sound of flipping papers and sighs could be heard.

“Kyoong. It’s another request for an increased budget...”

The sound of flipping papers came from Iona.

“Sigh. What was it again?”

“I definitely remembered it...”

“Hey... show me a bit...”

The sighs were from the ten vice-chairmen.

The escaped vice-chairmen had all been caught and brought back, and now they were taking daily tests on what they had learned from Iona the day before.

However,

Ssss.

Unlike the vice-chairmen who were sighing and solving problems, there was one being who moved its pen effortlessly.

Oh! This is what we learned the day before yesterday! This is too easy!

Blackster was solving the problems Iona had given out with remarkable ease.

A little later,

“Kyoo-Kyoo- I clearly explained everything, so why can’t you solve this?! Everyone except Blackster, follow me!”

“Yes...”

The ten vice-chairmen, who didn’t pass, were dragged away by Iona and

“Gravity Control!”

“Aagh!”

“Endure it!”

They had to withstand Iona’s gravity magic, using defensive magic until their magic power was exhausted.

While Iona was grilling the ten vice-chairmen,

“Huh? Where did Iona go?”

Sejun and his party arrived at Iona’s room.

“Oh! Sejun-nim, hello.”

Blackster, who had been creating and solving new problems on his own, greeted Sejun.

“Blackster, how are you doing? Is Iona teaching you magic well?”

“Yes. It’s so much fun! Ah! This is a magic equipment blueprint I created using the magic knowledge I learned from Iona. Please take a look.”

Blackster showed a rectangular equipment blueprint.

104.28.193.250

Would I even understand it?

“...Can you just explain it instead?”

“Ah. This is equipment that uses a technique I learned from Iona to increase magic efficiency and eliminates footsteps’ sound. If you wear this, you won’t be detected when infiltrating. I named it Sound Eater.” (TL: The name Sound Eater here is in english)

As expected of a former thief, Blackster was creating infiltration equipment again.

“The name is no good. Let’s call it Sogaebi.”

“Huh? Sogaebi?”

“It’s a combination of ‘so’ (TL: = sound) and ‘gaebi’ (TL: = eater). How about it? Clever, right?”

“Puhuhut. As expected of Chairman Park, meow!”

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. Then Cuengi is ‘ggulgaebi’ (TL: = honey eater)!]

“...”

Iona-nim, please come back quickly!

Blackster showed the maximum resistance he could by not responding.

***

Sejun’s Farm.

After Sejun left with Theo and Cuengi, Blackie was left alone.

Kkihihit. Kking! Kking!

[Hehe! Freedom! This is my world now!]

He was enjoying the freedom of not having to watch out for Theo and Cuengi.

And then,

Kiki!

Kiki!

The Destruction Devourers surrounded Blackie and tossed him into the air in celebration.

Kkihihit. Kking! Kking!

[Hehe! Guys, go that way! Now, this way!]

Blackie sat firmly on top of the Destruction Devourers, giving them directions, and they moved en masse according to their leader’s orders.

At that moment,

Ki?!

Whisk.

As if sensing something, the Destruction Devourers turned their heads simultaneously

in one direction, then

Ki! Ki! Ki!

They started running rapidly in that direction.

Kking?!

[Huh?! Guys, where are you going?!]

As a result, Blackie, who was riding on the Destruction Devourers, was inadvertently taken along with them.

Kking! Kking!

[No! The house is getting farther away!]

And so, Blackie unintentionally ran away from home.
