Solo Farming In The Tower

: What?! Did You Just Call Me a Dog?!

TL: Hanguk

Near the 97th floor of the tower.

Piyo!

Kkuik!

Piyot and Uren were being chased by the fragments of the Apostle of Destruction, who had persistently pursued them.

Furthermore, Uren kept fleeing toward where the fragments of the Apostle of Destruction were, increasing the number of enemies to five.

For reference, after being pursued again, Uren had encountered the fragments of the Apostle of Destruction three more times.

Thanks to Uren, Melpheus and Krueger even powered up by merging with their own fragments that were usually difficult to encounter in the tower.

However, they couldn’t abandon the Fenrir’s core fragment and flee.

Even if they were lucky enough to evade the pursuit of the Apostle of Destruction, the enemy who absorbed Fenrir’s core fragment could harm other innocent people in the tower.

There was only one way to neatly deal with the enemy!

Piyot planned to lure the enemies to the 99th floor of the tower and annihilate them all at once.

There were many strong individuals there who could easily deal with the fragments of the Apostle of Destruction.

Thus, the two fled from the fragments of the Apostle of Destruction for a long time.

But then, something Piyot did not expect happened.

Before they could reach the 99th floor of the tower, Uren collapsed.

Piyo! Piyo!

[Uren~nim, hang in there! Just a little more, and we’ll reach the 99th floor!]

Piyot pulled on Uren’s ear, who was so exhausted he was almost crawling, urging him on, but

“No, I’m done for. Leave me and go…”

Uren didn’t even have the strength to walk anymore.

Each time they were on the verge of being caught by the fragments of the Apostle of Destruction, Uren had used ‘Turn to Gold’ ability to escape the danger.

But now he had reached his limit. This was because Uren’s ability could only turn things to gold as much as he had eaten.

Grumble grumble.

In other words, he was too hungry to move.

At that moment,

-We’ve finally caught these guys!”

-This time, you won’t escape!

-Hurry and explain why we can sense Fenrir~nim’s energy from you!

The fragments of the Apostle of Destruction chasing the two arrived.

Piyo?!

[Uren~nim, what should we do?!]

“Can’t we buy them off?”

Piyo!

[Of course not!]

“Then I’ll try to hold them off as much as I can. You, Piyot, go and call Theo-nim!”

Since it’s my fault, I should take responsibility.

Uren tried to face a cool end, but

Piyo?

[What?]

You? You’ll hold out well, I’m sure.

Piyo!

[Stop thinking foolishly and come up with something useful!]

“Uh…”

The smart Piyot wasn’t falling for it.

-Hahaha. How amusing to have a meaningless conversation with us right in front of you.

Meanwhile, the fragments of the Apostle of Destruction had surrounded the two.

Piyo.

[Uren~nim, if you get reborn, make sure to be born as a lucky guy.]

“I want that too. I’ll definitely pay you back then.”

Piyo!

[Sure you will!]

As Piyot and Uren were having this trivial exchange, preparing for their final, unwinnable battle against the fragments of the Apostle of Destruction,

Rumble.

They heard the sound of a tremendous army moving, shaking the ground.

Piyo?! Piyo!

[Oh?! It looks like someone’s come to rescue us!]

“We’re saved!”

With hopeful expressions, Piyot and Uren looked towards the source of the sound.

But,

Kihihit. Kking!

[Haha. The great Blackie is here!]

Kiki!

Piyo?

[Blackie?]

“Cherry tomatoes?”

Seeing Blackie, the weakest of the 99th floor, arrogantly appear while riding the Destruction Devourer, Piyot and Uren’s hopes quickly dwindled.

***

Kking?! Kking…

[What should I do?! The butler will be worried…]

At first, Blackie was confused by his situation, having been forced out away from the home.

However,

Kihihit. Kking! Kking!

[Hehe. It’s an adventure! Guys, let’s go!]

He soon accepted his situation and decided to enjoy the present.

Oh?! Those guys?!

While Blackie was riding the Destruction Devourers and moving, he saw the fragments of the Apostle of Destruction and the surrounded Piyot and Uren.

What should I do?!

Blackie was in a dilemma.

On one side were his original subordinates, and on the other side were the subordinates of his big brother, Theo.

My brother’s subordinates are also my subordinates!

In other words, both sides were his subordinates.

Kking!

[Hey! Stop fighting!]

So he stepped in to stop the fight between the two sides.

In the past, no matter how much he shouted, he had no presence, but now, after creating a new core, he had gained some presence.

And then,

-Could you be Fenrir~nim?

The Apostle of Destruction, Krueger, asked Blackie upon seeing him.

Krueger was the most loyal Apostle among the 12 Apostles of Destruction to Fenrir.

Although Blackie’s appearance had changed a lot, Krueger saw traces of Fenrir in his confident demeanor.

However,

Kking… Kking! Kking!

[Uh… No! I am the great Blackie!]

If his identity was revealed here, his happy life would be shattered, so Blackie couldn’t affirm it.

-Are you really not Fenrir~nim?

Loyal Krueger asked once more, but

Kking!

[Krueger, I’m telling you, I am not the great Fenrir~nim!]

Blackie strongly denied it again.

-But how do you know my name? You must be Fenrir~nim!

Kking?! Kking! Kking!

[Huh?! Anyway, I’m not! I’m not the noble wolf who hunts gods, the great Fenrir~nim, the 1st seat of apostle of destruction. I’m the noble wolf, the great Blackie Park-nim!]

While Blackie was struggling not to reveal his identity,

-Krueger! How could you think that’s Fenrir?! It’s just a dog!

The 4th seat of the Apostle of Destruction, Melpheus, pointed at Blackie and said.

What?! Did you just call me a dog?!

Blackie got furious.

At that moment,

-Melpheus, show some respect to Fenrir~nim!

Krueger, who had a lot of grudges against Melpheus for not showing respect to Fenrir, got angry.

-Hmph! Krueger, wake up! Even after finding a fragment of Fenrir’s core, you’re saying such things?! Fenrir is no longer the Fenrir of the past. Haha. I will absorb Fenrir’s core fragment and become the 3rd seat of the Apostle of Destruction!

Melpheus said with a sneer, and

Melpheus, you bastard, you were so eager to swear loyalty in front of me…

Blackie was enraged seeing Melpheus like that.

-Do you think I’ll let that happen?! I, Krueger the Destroyer of Mountains, will collect Fenrir~nim’s core fragment and deliver it to Fenrir~nim!

Rather, Krueger, who was usually blunt, turned out to be the true loyal servant.

Krueger, I’ll keep you as my subordinate from now on!

While Blackie was thinking of bringing Krueger,

-What is this? I suddenly feel my strength draining.”

-I feel the same.

The fragments of the Apostle of Destruction were bewildered.

Gulp. Gulp.

The Destruction Devourers, surrounding the Apostles of Destruction and eagerly devouring the energy of destruction, were the reason.

At that moment,

Burp.

Burp.

The Destruction Devourers began to digest the energy of destruction and exhale blue mist.

-What is this unpleasant energy?

The energy of creation is the polar opposite of the energy of destruction.

The energy of creation interfered with the fragments of the Apostle of Destruction from using their power.

It wasn’t greatly uncomfortable yet, but if that blue mist thickened, the situation could become worse.

Melpheus and Krueger, who had been arguing, sensed that the situation was not normal and

-Krueger, let’s deal with those things first!”

-Got it.

-Everyone, attack!

The fragments of the Apostle of Destruction, along with the other Apostles, attacked the Destruction Devourers.

Kiki!

Kiki!

True to their nature of hating the power of destruction, the Destruction Devourers immediately counterattacked.

But despite their large numbers, the combat abilities of the Destruction Devourers were too poor to contend with the fragments of the Apostle of Destruction.

Kiii…

The Destruction Devourers quickly dwindled in number as they were killed by the fragments of the Apostles of Destruction.

“Kuik! Turn to gold!”

Meanwhile, Uren, having filled his stomach, turned Hydra’s fragment into gold.

Piyo!

[Messenger Bird Secret Technique: Horizontal Flight!]

Piyot flew swiftly, aiming to cut off the Hydra’s neck, but

– Not a chance!

Thud.

Krueger intercepted Piyot’s attack with his rock-hard body.

Kking! Kking!NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

[Don’t touch my subordinates! The great Blackie will punish you!]

Blackie also boldly charged at the fragments of the Apostles of Destruction, but

Bang!

Kkiging!

He couldn’t get close and was flung away by the shockwave created by the fragment of the Apostle of Destruction.

Kking…

Blackie rolled and tumbled as he was thrown away.

Kii…

In Blackie’s eyes, he saw a Destruction Devourer, with its head half-severed, weakly shaking its leaves as if telling him to run away.

Kking! Kking!

[A leader doesn’t abandon their subordinates! I’ll protect you all!]

I need strength!

Blackie activated his core to its maximum capacity.

Gather!

He guided the power he had hesitated to gather until now into his core.

Sssssrk.

In response to Blackie’s will, the energy of creation started to move toward him.

Being an Apostle of Destruction, the energy of creation was instinctively repulsive power to Blackie.

But,

There’s nothing better than this to fight those guys!

He knew that the energy of creation was the best to counter the Apostles of Destruction.

The energy of creation, which had been faintly spread around, almost invisible, began to gather towards Blackie, gradually intensifying in color.

Woong.

The blue mist, which had become so dense that it would leave blue stains if touched, started to be sucked into Blackie’s mouth.

And then,

Good!

As the energy of creation accumulated in his core,

Grrrr. Kking! Kking!

[Grrrr. You bastards! Stop immediately!]

Blackie roared and charged at the fragments of the Apostles of Destruction.

You bastard! You called me a dog earlier!

The first one he attacked was Melpheus, whom he had been targeting from the start.

He was more upset about being called a dog than about the betrayal.

Bang!

Blackie strongly struck the back of Melpheus’s head with his front paw.

-Guh!

Melpheus, struck by Blackie, flew and crashed into a wall.

However,

‘Is my strength still lacking?’

Blackie’s expression was not good after hitting Melpheus.

Even though he had absorbed the energy of creation, the amount was insufficient to take down Melpheus in one blow.

-You bastard!

-I’m joining in!

Krueger decided that Melpheus alone couldn’t handle Blackie and joined in the fight.

-You two, take care of those guys! I’ll deal with these and join you!

Shasha, the Queen of Screams and Ice, froze the Destruction Devourers and shattered them with her scream, then shouted to Hydra and Leviathan.

Although the situation had improved with Blackie stepping in,

Blackie vs. Melpheus, Krueger

Piyot, Uren vs. Hydra, Leviathan

80,000 Destruction Devourers vs. Shasha

None of the matchups were favorable.

The problem was especially with Shasha slaughtering the Destruction Devourers, reducing their numbers.

As the amount of the energy of destruction devoured by the Destruction Devourers decreased, the energy of creation they emitted also decreased, weakening Blackie’s power.

As Blackie, Piyot, and Uren’s injuries increased and the victory of the Apostles of Destruction seemed certain,

Thud. Thud.

A giant black figure with large horns and a massive build appeared with a ground-shaking vibration. It was the Minotaur King, who had followed Blackie.

Kihihit.

Kiki!

Moo?

[That guy belongs to Sejun-nim’s?]

The Minotaur King, seeing the Destruction Devourers and Blackie descending the tower,

If you go alone, it will be dangerous…

Worried about Blackie, he hurriedly called his subordinates to guard the waypoint and followed after Blackie.

Although he could have sent his subordinates, he wanted to get some fresh air after a long time and hoped to use the new technique he had developed through special training with Cuengi if given the chance.

And then,

Enemies.

Seeing the opportunity to use his new technique, the Minotaur King quickly grabbed five fragments of the Apostles of Destruction and gathered them in his palm.

Moo!

[Demon King Fist!]

Without hesitation, he thrust his fist towards the fragments of the Apostles of Destruction.

Kwaaaaang!

A powerful destructive force erupted, and the fragments of the Apostles of Destruction in his palm vanished without a trace, while the surroundings remained intact.

He had blocked the shockwave from escaping his palm.

I can teach this to Cuengi now.

The Minotaur King shook his tingling palm with a satisfied smile.

At that moment, on the 99th floor of the Black Tower,

“What?! Where did Blackie go?”

Sejun, having returned to the farm after handing over the Staff of Suppressing Gravity to Iona, realized that Blackie had disappeared.
