Solo Farming In The Tower-Chapter 35Vol 2. : Welcome to the Kindergarten of Destruction! ()

Once, the demon god Kali launched a simultaneous invasion of ten different worlds.

The attempt had almost succeeded—Kali had managed to conquer nearly all of them.

But those ten worlds didn’t just sit back and take it.

In response, the leaders of the ten worlds each selected their top 100 elites—heroes and strongest warriors from each realm—to form a united death squad.

This death squad began reclaiming territory, bit by bit, from Kali’s forces, until at last they confronted the demon god himself.

A battle began: 100 warriors against the demon god Kali—for the survival of ten worlds.

The clash lasted for ten days.

And on the tenth day—

“Demon god Kali! We may lack the strength to destroy you, but someone will come one day to obliterate you in our stead and fulfill our vengeance! Hundredfold Extinction Seal!”

Unable to continue fighting, the hundred warriors burned away the last of their life force to seal Kali.

Then—

“Bury Kali’s seal so deep no one can ever reach it!”

The leaders of the ten worlds chose the most dangerous and highest-level world—<Necting>—to entomb the seal deep underground, where no one could disturb it, and where they would wait for the one who would one day destroy Kali.

***

Inside the mental world of the demon god Kali.

“Kuhuhu... Come to me, pitiful ones—so I may watch you drown in despair and agony.”

Kali trembled in anticipation, excited by the thought of his seal finally being broken, and the sacrifices soon to scream for mercy.

But then—

Boom. Boom.

“...You?!”

What the—why are you here?!

A massive, dark-blue wolf appeared, and Kali’s expression went pale. So did the entirety of his mental world.

Why had he sought to conquer ten worlds in the first place?

Because he wanted to raise his level and increase his power—to stand a chance against that terrifying beast before him: the First Apostle of Destruction, the God-Hunting Wolf—Fenrir.

No, that was just pride talking. Truthfully, he’d done it to boost even the slightest chance of survival.

“Heehee. Kali, you were hiding here?”

Kkamang grinned mischievously at Kali. As expected from someone in the Sejun family—every bit the villain when it counted.

“Fenrir! You’ve finally tracked me down! But I, the demon god Kali, will not fall so easily!”

Kali shouted with bravado, though in reality it was no more than a desperate cry to hide his fear.

Grrrr...

“What are you babbling about?! This great one isn’t Fenrir anymore—my name is now the Great Park Kkamang!”

“...Park Kkamang?”

What the hell kind of hick-town mutt name is that?

Kali was dumbfounded by the response. And while he stood there confused—

“Let’s leave Kali to Kkamang. We’ll go treasure hunting.”

“Puhuhut. Sounds good, nya!”

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Yes.”

“Let’s do it, da yo!”

“Kkamang, take care of things.”

Sejun, Theo, Iona, and Queng all exited Kali’s mental world without a second glance.

And then—

“Kali! Get over here!”

Boom!

Kkamang stomped the ground, summoning Kali with all the authority of a general.

The Great Kkamang also wanted to go treasure hunting!

He had to finish Kali’s “mental re-education” fast if he was going to join in.

“Y-Yes...”

Kali nervously crept over. If this were the real world, he might’ve run. But this was his own mental realm—there was nowhere to escape.

Soon, the Kkamang Family surrounded him.

“Everyone, let’s finish this quick and clean!”

“““Yes!”””

Pow-pow-pow!

With that shout, they dove in and began beating the crap out of Kali.

“Gyaaah! It’s all my fault! I swear!”

Kali grovelled and begged for forgiveness. He honestly didn’t even know what he’d done wrong, but begging was ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) the only thing left.

There were no questions being asked—just fists flying—so all he could do was apologize.

“Sniff... I’m sorry... Please, no more...”

It wasn’t quite the destruction the death squad had wished for, but the Kkamang Family was doing an excellent job settling that grudge in their own way.

While Kkamang's crew was busy "educating" Kali...

“Alright, let’s begin!”

With Sejun’s call, the group split up to hunt for treasure.

Everyone scattered, looking for anything valuable.

“Heh. This one looks promising.”

Sejun, wandering alone, picked up what looked like a fine object—a silver candelabra shaped like a trident, with a snake intricately carved around the handle. It definitely looked special.

“Eoksamchiri, appraise this.”

[Understood. Beginning appraisal.]

The system interface, [Eoksamchiri], began its analysis.

[Appraisal complete.]

Just as Sejun suspected—it was something unusual.

[Cursed Silver Candelabra]

Originally a sacred item forged by a skilled artisan using pure silver imbued with high-level holy purification magic. However, it was later corrupted by the demon god Kali.

Now hosts a petty evil spirit, incapable of coherent thought or communication.

When the candle is lit, the flame turns purple from the spirit’s influence, giving it an ominous aura.

Use restriction: None

Craftsman: Chuku, blacksmith of <Trin>

Grade: F-

A cursed item... and a pathetic one at that.

“This one’s trash, isn’t it?”

True to form, Sejun continued to demonstrate his absolutely cursed luck by finding:

[Cursed Silver Figurine]

[Cursed Silver Rope]

[Cursed Silver Sword]

[Cursed Silver Spear]

He was basically magnetized to cursed garbage.

“This place is lousy with evil spirits.”

Of course, Sejun blamed the environment rather than his own luck.

But—

“Puhuhut! I found something good, nya! I, Vice Chairman Theo, am the winner of the treasure hunt, nya! Iona, please appraise this!”

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Okay.”

Kuhehehe. Queng! Queng!

[Hehehe! Dad! I think Queng found something even better than big brother did, da yo! I’ll appraise it now!]

Theo and Queng were pulling in treasure after treasure of excellent quality.

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. It’s another cursed item.”

Iona, like Sejun, was only finding cursed objects.

But in her case—

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. I want to study these in the lab right away!”

She was doing it on purpose. Unbeknownst to the others, Iona’s latest research topic was evil spirits—so she was gleefully gathering them up.

As Sejun continued to pick up nothing but low-tier cursed trash...

“...Huh?!”

He finally grabbed something real.

–Kuhuhuhu. Surrender your body!

A powerful spirit inhabited this item.

“...”

Sejun’s consciousness was slowly pushed into his mental world by the evil spirit.

But—

Get lost.

It wasn’t enough to scare Sejun. He’d been through too much.

–Gyaaaagh!

Sejun crushed the spirit’s neck with his hand and erased it on the spot.

“Heh. Know your place.”

He grinned with smug satisfaction. Sure, his companions might see him as fragile—but outside that group, he could more than hold his own.

“Nya?! Chairman Park, your face is twisting!”

Queng!

[Dad! You’re getting uglier! This is serious, da yo!]

Of course, that smugness triggered Theo and Queng’s crisis alarms.

“Everybody! Trample him, nya!”

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Yes.”

Queng!

The entire group pounced on Sejun, stomping on his face.

Kkihihit. Kking! Kking?! Kking!

[Heehee! The Great Kkamang has returned! Oh?! Is it face-stomping time? The Great Kkamang wants in too!]

Fresh from Kali’s “re-education,” Kkamang charged forward and jumped on Sejun’s face.

Only after ten minutes of this abuse did the others finally climb off.

Kkihihit.

Squish. Squish. Squish.

Kkamang, of course, lingered longer than anyone else and stomped Sejun’s face with extra force.

“Get off.”

Kking...

Sejun grabbed him by the scruff and pulled him down.

Then—

“I’ll give you ten minutes to treasure hunt on your own.”

Kkamang, having joined late, was given solo time.

Kkihihit. Kking!

[Heehee! This time, the Great Kkamang will be the treasure hunt winner!]

He ran off joyfully, confident of victory.

Heh. You’ll just dig up more cursed junk like me.

Sejun cursed him internally. He couldn’t be the only one with garbage luck.

But—

Kkihihit. Kking?!

[Heehee! Kali, where’s the treasure?!]

–Over there! The ones who brought me here put a lot of effort into hiding something in that spot!

Kkamang, thanks to Kali—who’d been sealed here for ages—got inside information.

Guided by Kali, Kkamang reached the hidden treasure spot.

Scrape scrape scrape.

He began frantically digging with his little forepaws.

“Time’s up.”

Ten minutes passed.

Scrape scrape.

Kkamang had spent the entire time digging.

No! I was almost done!

Kking!

[Butler! Give me five more minutes!]

“Fine. You get ten more.”

Heh. Like anything’s gonna come out of that hole.

Sejun snorted, watching Kkamang dig obsessively in one place.

But then—three minutes later—

Kkihihit. Kking! Kking!

[Heehee! Found it! Butler, I found it!]

Kkamang pulled out a white stone from the dirt.

Victory belongs to the Great Kkamang!

He walked back toward Sejun with triumphant pride.

“Pffft. That’s what you found after all that work? Eoksamchiri, appraise it.”

As Sejun mocked the stone and asked [Eoksamchiri] to analyze it—

We lost, nya!

Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Why is that here...?!

We lost, da yo!

The others, sensing the energy radiating from the stone, realized immediately that they had lost.

Only Sejun didn’t know he’d been defeated.

[Appraisal complete.]

“...Huh?! Why was something like this buried here?!”

When he saw the result, he regretted ever granting that time extension.

[Heart Shard of the Great White Dragon]

Kkamang had found nothing less than a dragon’s heart.

Then—

[Additional information detected.]

[Appraisal result updated.]

[Sejun, release the item immediately! It is dangerous!]

[Eoksamchiri] gave a hasty warning.

[Corrupted Heart Shard of the Great White Dragon]

The item name had changed.

–Kuhuhuhu. A half-baked dragon dares to touch the heart of the Great White Dragon?! You’ll pay with your life! And your body will be mine!

A deranged voice echoed in Sejun’s head.

“....”

Sejun lost consciousness.

But then—

–How dare a pale lizard like you?!

In Sejun’s mental world, the heart shard of the Great Black Dragon—long dormant—swelled in size, preparing for battle.

But—

“How dare you try to steal our Chairman’s body, nya?!”

“Kkyu-kkyu-kkyu-kkyu—”

“Queng is mad, da yo!”

“Heehee! Butler! The Great Kkamang is here to save you!”

As the party arrived—

–Ah! The Great Kkamang, sir!

The corrupted spirit shrank itself immediately and bowed to Kkamang.

No way it was gonna pick a fight and get beat down.

A moment later—

[Submissive Heart Shard of the Great White Dragon]

The item's name changed again.

“Now cover it up.”

Queng!

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Understood.”

Boom!

Following Sejun’s instructions, Iona and Queng reburied the levitating landmass.

“Chacha” was the name of the last child who joined them—one of three named by Sejun from the syllables of <Necting>: Nene, Kuku, and Chacha.

Thus, the space where Kali had been sealed vanished completely.

And as a quest reward, Sejun gained 0.5% evolution EXP for <Necting>.

“...Seriously?”

Only 0.5%?

Are you kidding me?

Sejun was disappointed by the tiny number.

But—

[Converting 0.5% Level 9 world EXP to Level 4 world EXP...]

[You have gained 16% evolution EXP for a Level 4 world.]

From Earth’s perspective, it was a massive boost.

“Hehehe. Let’s go, everyone!”

In a much better mood, Sejun returned to the Ents’ location, gathered Taecho and the three children, and returned to the Black Tower.

Then—

“Ace is gonna love this.”

He made his way to the 99th floor to deliver spicy chicken to Ace.

And—

“What?! The Purple Tower arrived on Earth five hours ago?!”

–Yes, brother-in-law!

Ace, happily munching on his chicken, cheerfully reported the very conversation the Tower Lords had tried to keep secret.
