Solo Farming In The Tower

Chapter 471: Hehehe, I Hope the Butler Gives Him Another Strange Name!

TL: Hanguk

Inside the magic stream.

Hwawhoosh.

Flamie’s fire grew stronger as it devoured the magic power.

The flames instantly engulfed Halphas and the slimes.

Wriggle. Wriggle.

The slimes, which instinctively swallowed anything in their path, consumed the flames and burned both inside and out, dying in the process.

And then—

“Seal release!”

What madness! To burn magic power inside a magic stream…

Halphas quickly released the fifth seal. He realized what Flamie was attempting to do.

“You’re trying to kill me by blowing up the magic stream? Impressive. But because of that, you’ll find yourselves in even greater trouble.”

The explosion of one magic stream would trigger a chain reaction across all nine streams, causing immense damage to the world and leaving it in ruins.

Then, there would be a gap, allowing others to enter the tower… resulting in the tower’s early destruction.

[That won’t happen! I’ll stop it with my body!]

“Hmph! Do you think that’s possible? Even if you manage to block it, you won’t survive.”

[That’s what I want! The weaker I get, the sooner I can see my master!]

“What? You’re planning to self-destruct?! Haha! Is this some noble sacrifice kind of thing?”

While Halphas sneered at Flamie, assuming she would self-destruct to stop him,

[No! See you in a bit! Blaze up!]

“What?! What do you mean by that…?”

BOOOOM!

The magic inside the stream, fueled by Flamie’s strong will, surpassed its ignition point, causing a chain explosion.

And then—

What the hell is that?!

Halphas looked in shock at the roots of Flamie, which were densely wrapping around the magic stream beyond the massive flames.

But why is it so warm?

The fire burning his body wasn’t hot at all.

What’s going on?

He hesitated, missing the moment he should have extracted his soul, and…

BOOM!

Halphas was swept up in the massive explosion and lost consciousness.

One of the nine streams of magic had been completely destroyed.

***

On the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

Sniff. Sniff.

Where is this smell coming from?

While Sejun was trying to locate the source of the meat scent,

“Over there!”

Those with keen noses were already running toward the place where the smell was wafting from.

But—

Moo!

Kuooooo!

The Minotaur King, the Black Minotaur, and Pink-fur stood in their way.

For those who bought Harvest Festival tickets, the permitted area was only up to Sejun’s farm.

To step beyond the designated area meant challenging the guardians of the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

Naturally, no one dared to try.

Kueng!

[Dad, the meat smell is coming from over there!]

In the meantime, Cuengi flew swiftly, carrying Sejun and his group toward the source of the meat scent.

As they moved,

“Huh?”

To the west where they were heading, two faint blue streams of light connecting the sky to the ground came into view, and

And near them, Destruction Devourers could be seen with their mouths wide open, consuming something from the air.

‘I wondered where they went, turns out they were all there.’

“What is that, though?”

As Sejun muttered to himself while looking at the streams,

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Sejun~nim, that’s the magic stream!”

Iona, from Theo’s tail, pointed at the blue streams and spoke.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

‘So that’s what a magic stream looks like.’

While Sejun marveled at seeing a magic stream for the first time,

Rumble.

Suddenly, thousands of black, round objects fell from the blue streams.

Kueng! Kueng!

[Dad, it’s that! That’s where the meat smell is coming from!]

Cuengi quickly flew to where the objects had just fallen, with Sejun and his companions in tow.

As they got closer, the smell of meat grew stronger.

And then—

[Corpse of the Fifth Calamity Slime.]

The name appeared above the object emitting the scent of meat.

“The Fifth Calamity Slime?”

What? Why is a calamity here?

‘Ah. That’s why the Destruction Devourers were heading this way.’

Sejun understood why the Destruction Devourers had gathered and cautiously approached the slime’s corpse.

The slime’s body was black and hard, as if it had been burnt to death.

“Vice Chairman Theo, your claws.”

As Sejun picked up Theo and held his front paw…

“Got it, meow!”

Snap!

Theo kindly extended his dragon claws for Sejun.

Slice.

Sejun used Theo’s dragon claws to cut into the slime’s body, revealing a slightly cooked, bright red meat inside, contrasting with its charred exterior.

Thick juices flowed from the meat, releasing a fragrance that quickly spread around them.

Wow. This is crazy.

It was an incredibly delicious smell, unlike anything Sejun had ever encountered before.

Slurp.

Cuengi, who was watching from behind, quickly wiped away the drool from his mouth.

‘You want some too, Cuengi?’

In fact, he also want to taste this meat as soon as possible.

‘Should I grill a few pieces to try?’

Just as Sejun was about to cut more meat with Theo’s claws—

“Kyoot?! Sejun-nim, the magic stream’s movement is strange! We need to leave here quickly!”

“Okay!”

Sejun didn’t bother to ask ‘Why?’ or ‘What’s happening?’.

One of the truths he had learned from surviving near-death situations was to move first and ask questions later. He could figure out the reason afterward.

However—

BOOOOM!

Before Sejun could take a few steps, one of the two blue streams started turning red, with immense magic power surging within.

It’s too late!

Sejun’s survival instincts, like those of a sunfish, told him there was no escape.

And then—

……

The red current disappeared as quickly as it had come, leaving the area calm once more.

…?!

“What the? What just happened?”

As Sejun was wondering…

[One of the two magic streams connected to the 99th floor of the Black Tower has disappeared.]

[The blessing of the two streams of magic has been reduced to the blessing of one stream.]

Messages appeared in front of him.

“Iona, is it possible for a magic stream to disappear?”

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. I’m not sure either, Sejun-nim. If it had vanished, it shouldn’t be this quiet…”

“Is that so?”

Since even the Great Wizard couldn’t understand it, Sejun decided not to worry about it either.

“Then let’s just go eat the meat.”

Kueng!

[Sounds good!]

With that, Sejun and his group began gathering the slime meat and headed back to the farm.

(… Don’t forget!)

Kking?!

What kind of dream was that?

Blackie, who had been sleeping as if unconscious, suddenly woke up.

And then—

‘Huh?! This presence… it’s Halphas’s energy?’

Blackie sensed Halphas’s aura nearby.

Why is he here?

He was briefly curious, but then thought,

‘What’s important is not why he’s here, but that I now have a new subordinate!’

Hehehe. I hope the butler gives him another strange name!

Excited at the thought of bringing Halphas to Sejun for a new name, Blackie pushed his curiosity aside.

Hop.

Jumping out of Sejun’s sling bag, Blackie climbed onto a Destruction Devourer and rode off to capture Halphas.

***

At the spot where the magic stream had been moments before.

Where am I?

A crow, the size of a sparrow, looked around, confused. It was a place he had never seen before.

And then—

…

After thinking for a while—

Who am I?

The crow realized he didn’t remember who he was, or what his name was. He couldn’t recall anything.

At that moment—

Kking!

[Hey! Long time no see!]

Kiki!

Kiki!

Blackie, who appeared riding a Destruction Devourer, called out to Halphas.

Meanwhile, Blackie’s other subordinates slowly surrounded Halphas, ready to pounce in case he tried to escape.

Caw?

(Are you calling me?)

Halphas responded to Blackie’s call.

Kking! Kking!

[Yeah! You!]

Caw?

(You know me?!)

Kking! Kking!

[Of course I do! You’re the lost subordinate of the great Blackie-nim, me!]

Hehehe. He’s out of it again.

Blackie confidently shouted after assessing Halphas’ condition. He had lost his memory before, but this time it seemed he had forgotten everything entirely.

Blackie was trying to easily make Halphas his subordinate.

However—

Caw?! Caw! Caw!

(Me, your subordinate?! That’s impossible! You must be my subordinate!)

Halphas’ inferiority complex toward Fenrir, engraved deep in his soul, refused to let him become Blackie’s subordinate.

Kking! Kking! Kking!

[That’s right! And not only that, you’re the youngest among my subordinates! Become a subordinate of the great Blackie-nim!]

Angered by Halphas’ words, Blackie charged at him.

And so the battle began.

Kking!

[Take my front paw punch!]

Puk.

Caw! Caw!

(Bring it! I’ll peck you to pieces!)

Peck.

Kking?! Kking!

[You used your beak?! Then I’ll bite you too!]

Caw!

(Let go of this!)

Despite being a fight between the 1st and 2nd Apostles of Destruction, it was embarrassingly trivial.

“Great Blackie-nim, hang in there!”

Kkiruk!

Shararang!

“Great Blackie-nim, fighting! You must win!”

Kiki!

Kiki!

Eomdol, Ggomi, Kkabi, Jaki, and the Destruction Devourers all cheered for Blackie from the sidelines.

‘If the great Blackie-nim wins, we’ll escape being the youngest!’

Especially Jaki, who had only been the youngest for less than a day, was cheering the hardest for Blackie, hoping to pass the title to someone else.

After an hour—

Kkihihit. Kking!

[Hehehe! It’s the victory of the great Blackie-nim!]

Caw… Caw…

(How humiliating… To think I would lose…)

Blackie stood triumphantly over a fallen Halphas, striking a victory pose with his trembling legs.

“Phew. That was a good meal.”

Sejun, who had hosted a meat party with everyone participating in the Harvest Festival using the slime meat, leaned back in satisfaction.

“Okay. Just stamp here.”

Sejun then received the antennae stamps of the Mushroom Ants on the full-time employee contract.

Stamp.

The Mushroom Ant stamped the spot Sejun indicated with its antennae.

Kkwek!

Kkwek!

The Mushroom Ant, now a full-time employee, entered the group proudly, receiving congratulations from its peers.

Kkwek!

The next Mushroom Ant confidently raised its antennae and approached Sejun.

Stamp.

As Sejun received more and more antennae stamps from the Mushroom Ants, it was soon midnight, and…

[The Grape Harvesting Competition has ended.]

[Rewards will be distributed to participants ranked from 1st to 100th in the Grape Harvesting Contest.]

Participants of the Grape Harvesting Competition who placed within the top 100 received their rewards.

And then—

“Meow?! Puhuhut. Chairman Park, take this, meow! It’s the 1st place reward, meow!”

Theo handed Sejun the 1st place reward from the Grape Harvesting Competition.

“Hmm.”

Sejun’s face stiffened as he received 1,000 Seedless Grapes for Beginners.

Kueng!

[This is for the weak dad to eat!]

“Kyuut kyuut kyuut. I’ll give this to you, Sejun-nim!”

Kuoooong!

Moo!

Following that, Cuengi, Iona, Pink-fur, the Minotaur King, the Black Minotaurs, and the other companions handed over their rewards to Sejun.

Thus, Sejun ended up getting all the rewards from 1st to 100th place.

However, Sejun’s face hardened even more.

Because all the rewards were Seedless Grapes for Beginners.

Sejun now held 3,000 tasteless seedless grapes for beginners.

“Are you kidding me?! You should have given Harvest Festival Commemorative Grapes instead!”

Finally, Sejun’s anger exploded, and…

Meow?! Was it bad, meow?!

“Meow! I’m very very angry, meow!”

Theo got angry a beat late.

‘Uncle-nim, you’re impeached, meow!’

Theo wanted to impeach Uncle, the God of Grapevines, for giving Sejun a reward he didn’t like.

[You cannot impeach Uncle, the God of Grapevines.]

But Theo didn’t have the authority to do that.

‘Uncle-nim, just you wait, meow!’

In the end, Theo added Uncle’s name to his impeachment list, promising to deal with it later.

And so, Uncle was added to Theo’s impeachment list without even knowing it.

Seed Shop Headquarters.

[The Grape Harvesting Competition has ended.]

[A total of 230,000 people participated in the Grape Harvesting Competition.]

[You have earned 23,000 Divine Power.]

“As expected of Park Sejun!”

“Trust-in-Park!”

“Trust-in-Park!”

Uncle and the non-combat gods were delighted with the Divine Power they received as rewards from the competition.

“It’s a shame. If only our Park Sejun had placed in the rankings, we could’ve given him some great rewards…”

“Exactly. Investing in Park Sejun always guarantees huge returns.”

“Really, it’s such a pity.”

They were lamenting the fact that they couldn’t give better rewards since Sejun hadn’t ranked.

Unaware that all the rewards had actually gone to Sejun.

“Alright! The next competition’s reward will be this!”

Uncle smirked as he pulled out 5,000 seedless grapes for beginners as the reward for the upcoming Grape Eating Competition.
