Chapter 453: Apologize to Our Theo!
Yom-nyom-nyom.
Ophelia was enjoying the sausage skewer that Theo had brought.
“What?! You want me to help with Vice Chairman Theo’s special training?”
She was a bit taken aback by Theo’s sudden request.
“That’s right, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, need special training, meow!”
At this rate, I won’t be able to protect Chairman Park, meow!
Theo was greatly flustered when he met Aileen.
Meow! The energy I need to absorb is too overwhelming, meow!As Aileen’s strength increased rapidly, the amount of energy that needed to be absorbed to prevent her from harming Sejun became too much.
So, Theo had to burn through money to barely absorb Aileen’s power, but he couldn’t even absorb half of the energy that Aileen was emanating.
However,
Thud.
Even that became useless with just one step from Aileen.
When Sejun was thrown away,
‘I passed out leaving Chairman Park behind, meow!’
Theo had also lost consciousness for a moment.
I’m still lacking, meow!
That’s why he decided to undergo special training.
“What do you need me to do?”
“Ophelia~nim just needs to emit strong energy, meow!”
“That’s easy enough. But in exchange, give me more sausage skewers.”
“Got it, meow!”
And so, Theo decided to receive special training from Ophelia in exchange for sausage skewers.
He returned to the Black Tower, got more sausage skewers, and went back to find Ophelia.
“It’s dangerous here, so let’s go to the 99th floor of the tower.”
“Got it, meow!”
The two of them moved to the 99th floor of the Green Tower.
“Alright, then. I’ll start. Since it’s your first time, I’ll start light.”
“Meow!”
Ophelia slightly loosened the faucet she had tightly closed to contain the surging energy within her body.
Then,
Whoosh.
In an instant, the immense energy burst out of Ophelia’s body and dominated the surroundings.
This is incredible, meow!
Theo was startled by Ophelia’s energy, which was even more powerful than he had anticipated.
Sejun, who had nearly died hundreds of times, wouldn’t agree, but in his own way, Sejun was like a flower in a greenhouse.
The monsters and dragons on the 99th floor of the tower were always cautious around Sejun, who might die from just breathing too hard.
So, Theo, who was always by Sejun’s side, had never experienced such overwhelmingly strong energy that he couldn’t handle. Before that could happen, Sejun would pass out.
“I’ll absorb it, meow!”
And so, Theo began to use Energy Drain to absorb the energy Ophelia was emitting.
A little while later.
“I’ll increase it now.”
“Meow!”
As Theo got accustomed to the current level of energy, Ophelia released a bit more.
And so the special training continued until evening.
“Let’s call it a day.”
“Got it, meow…”
I want to see Chairman Park quickly, meow!
Theo, exhausted from the training, answered weakly and hurried back to the 99th floor of the Black Tower where Sejun was, and
“Chairman Park, I… I’ve… come back, meow…”
He tried to go towards Chairman Park’s lap…
But he was so tired that he fainted before he could reach Sejun’s knee that he loved so much.
***
“Vice Chairman Theo!”
Sejun hurriedly ran to Theo.
No injuries, no fever…
He quickly checked Theo’s body, but nothing seemed seriously wrong.
“Kaiser~nim!”
So he picked up Theo and ran straight towards the fountain where Kaiser was.
And then,
-Hmm. There’s nothing wrong? He’s just sleeping.
-More importantly, did Theo eat something good all by himself?
-Exactly, why is there so much energy gathered in his belly?
-It’s obvious. He must have gotten sick from eating something good by himself.
Theo ended up being misunderstood as having gotten sick from eating something good by himself.
This misunderstanding was caused by him constantly absorbing Ophelia’s energy.
-He’s just like Sejun.
“What? Me? I’m not like that.”
-Theo even resembles him in this aspect.
Sejun denied it, but the dragons didn’t listen.
-Sejun, be careful how you act in front of Theo from now on.
-Yeah. Otherwise, Theo might collapse just like that.
No way. How could you say such nonsense?! Apologize to our Theo! And this isn’t something that can be controlled by willpower!
“Samyangju is out of stock.”
This was revenge for Theo!
-What?
“For the next three days, Samyangju is out of stock!”
Da-da-da.
Sejun, holding Theo, quickly descended the fountain and shouted at the dragons.
‘They probably won’t get angry since they have enough Samyangju for about 2 days anyway.’
And so, Sejun took such petty revenge on the dragons.
“Still, I need to feed him dinner.”
Sitting on the bed, Sejun laid Theo on his lap and brought some Churu to his mouth.
Then,
Slurp slurp slurp.
Theo’s tongue moved instinctively.
“Hehe. He’s eating well.”
As Sejun looked at Theo with satisfaction,
Kking!
[Hey! You should give food to the great Blackie too!]
Blackie, who had been dozing in Sejun’s sling bag, woke up and barked.
“Blackie, you already ate earlier.”
Kking… Kking…
[But… but…]
Knowing that he had no valid reason to ask for more food, Blackie could only repeat “but” over and over.
“Alright. But only half.”
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Got it!]
Sejun cut a dried sweet potato slice in half and gave it to Blackie.
And then,
Kihihit. Kkang?! Kking!
[Hehe. Guys, did you see the great Blackie’s skill?! I’ll give you a bite each!]
On the 99th floor of the Black Tower, the hierarchy was determined by the ability to secure food.
“Great Blackie-nim, you’re amazing!”
Kkiruk!
104.28.193.250
Blackie’s underlings praised him for securing food.
Kkirorong.
Umdorong.
Kkirurung.
Soon, the three who had already eaten a late-night snack and fallen asleep.
Pat, pat.
“It’s really plump.”
After feeding all the Churu to Theo, Sejun patted his round belly.
“Vice Chairman Theo, did you really eat something good by yourself?”
Sejun briefly doubted Theo,
No way. Our Vice Chairman Theo wouldn’t do that.
But he quickly shook his head. The trust built over time was there. If there was something good, Theo would bring it to him first.
Pat, pat.
As Sejun stroked Theo’s belly,
Snore.
He dozed off while sitting.
***
“Meow? Where is this, meow?”
Theo hurriedly looked around.
Around him, he saw a giant mountain of grilled fish and a pond of Churu that he had always dreamed of.
Then this must be the mental world of me, Vice Chairman Theo, meow?
Just as Theo realized where he was,
Thud. Thud.
A giant Sejun appeared before Theo.
“Giant Chairman Park, nice to see you, meow!”
Theo quickly clung to the knee of the giant Sejun.
And then,
“Giant Chairman Park, to be honest, I’ve been troubled these days, meow!”
He started to talk about his worries. Because if he tell the great Sejun, everything gets resolved.
“It’s too hard to absorb all the energy because it’s so strong…”
Thus, the fanatical Theo started to speak his worries as if praying
“Meow?!”
That’s it, meow!
As his stomach felt warm, the fanatic’s prayer was answered.
There’s no need to absorb all the energy, meow! I just need to block the energy headed toward Chairman Park, meow!
[You have awakened the Talent: Energy Diversion.]He had an epiphany.
[Talent: Energy Drain has evolved into Energy Absorber.]At the same time, the mental block that made him think he had to absorb all the energy directed at Sejun shattered, and his original talent evolved.
“Puhuhut. As expected, Chairman Park is truly great…”
As Theo, who was praising Sejun, lost consciousness, he drifted off into dreamland.
***
Emila’s garden.
Gulp.
Gulp.
As the newly planted Destruction Devourers absorbed the energy of destruction spreading near the garden and released the energy of creation,
Swoosh.
The blue mist seeped into the body of Emila, who was tending to the crops.
At that moment,
[Black Tower’s Tower Farmer Park Sejun has tamed an Apostle of Destruction.][Three Apostles of Destruction have defected to the side of Creation.]
[There are nine Apostles of Destruction remaining.]
A message appeared before Emila.
“Three already?!”
She had thought this was truly impossible…
Emila Ibenes, the first Apostle of Creation, marveled as she looked at the message.
The task set by the Creator God, which seemed absolutely impossible: ‘Taming the Apostles of Destruction’.
These were beings who had once been guardians of the world but had fallen into becoming Apostles of Destruction, corrupted by the power of destruction, and now sought to annihilate the world.
While Emila understood why the Creator God had set such a task, in her heart, she had always believed it was impossible.
The divine beasts who had become Apostles of Destruction were monsters who had lost all memory of their past and were driven only by destructive instincts.
Yet, once again, the one who had accomplished this impossible task was Park Sejun, the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower.
Sejun, who had single-handedly carried out eight of the tasks given by the Creator God, had now added another, making it nine tasks he had completed.
“How did Park Sejun manage to tame the Apostles of Destruction?”
And not just one, but three of them.
He probably couldn’t even talk to them…
Sejun had enough power to be annihilated just by standing in front of an Apostle of Destruction.
“He’s obviously incredibly weak, though…”
It was something Emila could never understand.
“Well, since my strength has been restored thanks to the energy of creation, I’ll provide a bit more support.”
I believe in you! Park Sejun!
And so, Emila, unknowingly joined the great wave of “Trust and invest in Park Sejun” and issued a new quest to help Sejun’s growth.
***
“Huh? Did I fall asleep like this?”
Gororong.
Sejun spoke as he looked at Theo, who was snoring away comfortably, lying on his lap in a cross-legged position.
“Looks like he’s better now.”
Yesterday, Theo hadn’t snored at all while sleeping, but today he was snoring vigorously. Sejun patted Theo’s forehead.
“Meeooow…”
As if sensing Sejun’s hand, Theo rubbed his forehead against it in his sleep.
“Hehehe.”
Sejun left his hand on Theo’s forehead and played with it.
And then,
[The seal of the Earth’s Jewel has been broken.]…
…
[Grass, the God of Grassland, teaches you a job skill – Laying Grass Lv. 1 to repay your kindness.]
“Huh? A job skill?”
Reading through the backlog of messages, Sejun hurried to check the skill.
[Job Skill – Laying Grass Lv. 1]-Lay grass of uniform height over a 33 square meters area at once.
“Hm…”
Sejun, who had high expectations for the job skill, was a bit disappointed.
“Grass~nim, just 3.3 square meters.”
Though he wanted to complain and say 0.9 square meters, he held back because it was a job skill.
At that moment,
[A quest has been generated.][Quest: Plant 1 million Calamity Guardian Destruction Devourer seeds.]
Reward: Receive 5 drops of Growth Elixir for every 1 million Destruction Devourer seeds planted.
[A quest has been generated.]
[Quest: Achieve a population of 100 million Calamity Guardian Destruction Devourers.]
Reward: New Variety.
Two quests appeared in front of Sejun.
“Hm.”
So basically, it’s just telling me to work hard and plant more of them.
Since he was planning to do that anyway, nothing would change just because a quest appeared.
“But it does seem important to increase the number of Destruction Devourers.”
Then it’s time for enhancement!
To ensure they would be even more effective, Sejun decided to use the Enhancing Elixir on the seeds of the Destruction Devourer.
Drip.
As soon as the elixir dropped onto the seed, it was quickly absorbed.
Just as Sejun picked up the enhanced seed to check its options,
[The Calamity Guardian Destruction Devourer, is enhanced by the Enhancing Elixir.][The body of the Calamity Guardian Destruction Devourer, becomes tougher and more resilient.]
[The Calamity Guardian Destruction Devourer, now absorbs a greater amount of Energy of Destruction.]
A flood of messages poured in.
Although he only enhanced the seed, all Destruction Devourers were enhanced.
“What?”
Sejun was puzzled.
But then,
“Well, if it’s a good thing, it’s a good thing.”
He quickly dismissed it from his mind.
And then,
Step, step.
[The Scorching Cherries are grateful for the farmer’s footsteps and lend their strength.][Your Stamina stat potential increases from 4087 to 4088.]
He walked around the farm and headed to the cooking area to make breakfast.
***
74th floor of the Black Tower.
“Not many floors left now.”
Are there any cracks anywhere?
The King of Farming, who had barely climbed more than two-thirds of the Black Tower, was checking his bones for damage when,
“Huh?! Those people?!”
He saw Sejun’s group approaching from a distance.
A small white bird and a pink pig. It was Piyot and Uren.
“Great. Now I can relax a bit.”
Finally, the hardship ends, and happiness begins.
Clatter, clatter.
Thinking he could comfortably reach the 99th floor of the tower now, the King of Farming hurriedly got up to greet them.
Piyo!
[Ah! Seriously, Uren~nim!]
“Kkuik! Sorry!”
Piyot and Uren sped past the King of Farming without stopping to greet him.
And,
-Stop!!!
Three Apostles of Destruction were chasing after them.
Ah, right! Uren~nim is really unlucky…
The King of Farming belatedly recalled Uren’s misfortune.
“Damn it…”
He quickly started running after Piyot and Uren, doing his best to keep up.
