Solo Farming In The Tower

Black Tower, 1st Floor Plaza.

Hunters who had evacuated from the sudden bombardment on the 4th floor of the tower filled the plaza.

And,

Murmur, murmur.

Hunters conversed with each other, trying to understand what had happened.

Among these hunters,

“What?! You’re saying a cat swung its paw in the sky and turned dozens of kilometers of experience farms to dust?”

“Yes! I saw it from the top of Mount Kaizal! I saw a yellow cat and a brown baby bear in the sky, swinging their paws and destroying the farm!”

A bald hunter, over 2 meters tall and muscular, gesticulated wildly, describing the scene he had witnessed on the 4th floor.

However,

“What?! A cat? A baby bear? That’s nonsense… This guy has lost his mind. Lexton, get a grip.”

“It’s true!”

His peers ignored and mocked Lexton’s claims. It was fortunate they didn’t see Iona on Theo’s tail.

If Lexton had said that a small, cute, white hamster created a giant firestorm and wiped away the experience farm, he would have been ridiculed even more.

Actually, he might have been completely dismissed as a liar and ostracized by the other hunters.

“It’s really true…”

Disheartened by the dismissal of the surrounding hunters, Lexton quietly closed his mouth when,

“Could you tell me more about what you said earlier? Did you really see a yellow cat and a brown baby bear?”

A man with black hair approached and asked.

It was Kim Dong-sik, who was heading to the 41st floor of the tower to procure sturdy blade green onions and detoxifying green onions, but he stopped in his tracks, intrigued by the mention of a yellow cat and baby bear.

“Yes! It’s true! Look, I have a photo!”

Seeing Kim Dong-sik interested in his story, Lexton hurriedly showed him the photo he took with his hunter phone, eager to clear his name.

“Theo is on the 4th floor.”

Thanks to Lexton, Kim Dong-sik learned that Theo was on the 4th floor. The baby bear next to him was undoubtedly Cuengi, Theo’s fourth younger sibling he often talked about.

“But Cuengi never leaves Sejun’s side, does he?”

Wondering if Sejun might be on the 4th floor, Kim Dong-sik thought,

“Here’s 10 Tower Coins. Go to my master, show him this photo, and tell him exactly what you told me. I’ll give you 10 more Tower Coins.”

“Really? Who should I go to?”

Kim Dong-sik promised a reward and sent Lexton to Han Tae-jun.

And then,

‘If it’s the master, he will surely come to the fourth floor to meet Park Sejun.’

Eager to find Sejun before Han Tae-jun’s arrival, Kim Dong-sik headed to the 4th floor.

***

“Muahahaha! I’m overflowing with magic power! Thunder Throw!”

Boom!

Thanks to Iona continuously recharging his magic power, Sejun no longer worried about depleting it.

As a result, Sejun could keep dropping gigantic thunderbolts on the Black Skeletons for hours.

And then,

Sizzle.

[The power of purification contained within the thunder cleanses forces that defy the natural order.]

[The soul control exerted by the Undying Lich King, Immortal over Liman’s soul is completely released.]

[The soul of Liman, under the control of the Undying Lich King, Immortal, is liberated.]

…

..

.

Sejun’s continuous thunder attacks from morning liberated five souls from Immortal at once.

“We thank you for granting us peace. All we, who are even incomplete in soul, can offer to you, Sejun, is a little insignificant enlightenment we have gained about martial arts. Please accept our enlightenment.”

Swoosh.

The five Black Skeletons turned into white powder, achieving nirvana,

Floating.

The five orbs of white light left by the knights approached and were absorbed by Sejun.

[Knight Liman has passed on his enlightenment to you.]

[You have learned Basic Martial Arts Lv. 1.]

[The proficiency of Basic Martial Arts Lv. 1 has been filled and the level has increased.]

[The proficiency of Basic Martial Arts Lv. 2 has been filled and the level has increased.]

…

..

.

[You have mastered Basic Martial Arts.]

[You have learned Intermediate Martial Arts Lv. 1.]

[The proficiency of Intermediate Martial Arts Lv. 1 has been filled and the level has increased.]

Along with the messages, Sejun learned Intermediate Martial Arts Lv. 2 and Basic Archery Lv. 5, and was able to level up his Intermediate Swordsmanship and Intermediate Shield Technique by one level each.

Swoosh. Swoosh.

Sejun tried out his newly acquired skills with a punch.

Whoosh.

“Wow!”

His punches, now fully powered and different from before, created wind strong enough to push a person. Hehe, quite useful!

“Lucky that Theo and Cuengi aren’t here.”

If they had seen him celebrating his ability to create wind with his punches, they would surely have shown off their own punching power…

“And I would’ve realized how insignificant my punches are…”

Theo and Cuengi could break mountains and create storms with their punches, after all.

Fortunately, they weren’t there.

Feeling the pull in his paw, Theo had set off to follow it, and Cuengi, seeing this, followed his big brother, thinking he was going on a treasure hunt.

Bang, bang.

As Sejun was testing his kicks after his punches,

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park! I found something good, meow!”

Kuehehehe. Krueng!

[Hehehe. Big brother found it, but Cuengi brought it here!]

Theo and Cuengi, with a thick golden necklace around his neck, approached Sejun.

It seemed like Theo had passed it to Cuengi because he found it bothersome to carry, but for everyone’s happiness, such comments were left unsaid.

“Hehe, our Cuengi looks so stylish, doesn’t he?”

Instead, Sejun praised Cuengi.

Cuengi did look stylish. After all, our Cuengi could pull off any outfit, normally seen without one.

Fashion is completed by Cuengi. Perhaps he should be called Fashion King Cuengi?

Click.

Click.

The two naturally clung to Sejun’s legs,

Krueng!

[Dad, here!]

Cuengi handed over the golden necklace he wore around his neck to Sejun.

“Thanks.”

Pat, pat.

Sejun patted the heads of Theo and Cuengi after receiving the golden necklace.

“But what is this? It doesn’t seem like just gold.”

Sejun examined the golden necklace closely. It wouldn’t make sense for Theo’s front paw to be attracted to mere gold.

[Holy Seal’s Golden Chain]

→ Equipment created to seal the Undying Lich King, Immortal.

→ Crafted by skilled blacksmiths who engraved intricate magic circles on the golden chains,

→ High-level mages activated the magic circle,

→ And saintesses from ten orders infused their holy power to create it.

→ It has an exceptional ability to seal the unholy.

→ Usage restriction: Magic power 100 or above

→ Creator: Saintess Meilyn and 999 others

→ Grade: S+

The golden necklace that Cuengi wore was actually the golden chain used to seal Immortal’s sarcophagus.

“So it wasn’t a necklace, but a chain? No wonder it was so thick…”

Sejun remarked, reading the item description.

“But this was created to seal Immortal?”

How evil must someone be for a thousand people to create such a thing to seal just one person?

“This guy is really evil.”

Sejun commented, looking at Immortal, who was flattened on the ground due to Iona’s gravity magic.

“Hmph! I’m not the evil one! Those weaklings who died by my hand are the evil ones!”

“What?! So you’re saying I’m evil?!”

Sejun, who often felt weaker compared to others and was treated as the underdog, was angered by Immortal’s response.

And then,

“Hey. Summon the Black Skeletons.”

Sejun decided to quickly liberate the souls under Immortal’s control and deal with Immortal himself.

According to Iona’s assessment, once all souls under Immortal’s control were freed, his immortality would disappear.

“Create Thunderclouds! Rainfall!”

As Sejun was getting ready to attack the Black Skeletons again,

Gurgle, gurgle.

A rumbling sound came from his legs.

“Huh?”

Sejun looked down,

Kuehehehe.

Cuengi looked up at Sejun with an expectant expression. Cuengi is hungry! It was indeed time for lunch. As always, Cuengi’s belly clock was accurate.

“Just wait a bit, Cuengi. Thunder Throw.”

Sejun intermittently dropped thunder on the Black Skeletons while preparing lunch.

***

99th Floor of the Tower.

Ook! Ook!

The monkeys respectfully delivered the completed Samyangju to the dragons.

– Oh! Is it all done?!

Specifically, to Kaiser, who had reserved the Samyangju in advance. Kaiser joyfully collected 1000 bottles of Samyangju.

And then,

-Ssss.

-Ssss.

Kellion and Ramter, who had to wait a few more days for their reserved Samyangju, enviously watched Kaiser’s bottles of Samyangju.

Ramter had already replaced his armor with a new red dragon statue crafted by Udon. He had casually discarded his old armor in the farm.

-Kukhukhukhu.

Pop.

Feeling the envious gaze of the two, Kaiser smugly opened a bottle of Samyangju. The exquisite aroma spread as soon as the bottle was opened.

– Want some?

Kaiser asked, noticing the two unable to take their eyes off the bottle.

– Yes!

– Yeah!

Nod, nod.

The two eagerly nodded in response.

– Kukhukhukhu. Alright. I’ll generously share some.

Just as Kaiser was about to share the Samyangju,

– What?! Dragons in the 10th Tower?

– The Apostle of Destruction in the 10th Tower?!

– Halphas?!

All three simultaneously received reports about the situation in the 10th Tower.

And then,

– See you in a moment.

– Right.

– Let’s meet outside.

To rescue the dragons in the 10th Tower and fight Halphas, leaders of each dragon tribe led 100 elite dragons each to the 10th Tower.

***

“Thunder Throw!”

After lunch, Sejun had been attacking the Black Skeletons for about two hours.

Boom!

[The power of purification contained within the thunder cleanses forces that defy the natural order.]

[The soul control exerted by the Undying Lich King, Immortal over Yurid’s soul is completely released.]

[The soul of Yurid, under the control of the Undying Lich King, Immortal, is liberated.]

…

..

.

Twenty souls were simultaneously liberated from Immortal, a result of the continuous weakening of Immortal’s control by the power of purification.

Swish.

As Sejun absorbed the white orbs left by the knights, he learned Basic Axe Technique, leveling it up to 7,

[You have mastered Intermediate Swordsmanship.]

[You have learned Advanced Swordsmanship Lv. 1.]

[The proficiency of Advanced Swordsmanship Lv. 1 has been filled and the level has increased.]

[The proficiency of Advanced Swordsmanship Lv. 2 has been filled and the level has increased.]

He mastered Intermediate Swordsmanship and raised the skill level of Advanced Swordsmanship to 3.

More knights’ souls achieved nirvana as Immortal’s soul control was already significantly weakened,

[You have leveled up.]

[You have gained 1 bonus stat.]

In the process, Sejun leveled up, reaching level 68, and his Rain Thunder skill level also increased once more.

As a result, Purification power strengthened, and the liberation of souls became faster.

“Thunder Throw.”

[You have defeated the first sword of the Undying Lich King, Immortal.]

[You have gained 1,000,000 experience points.]

After Sejun had defeated all the summoned Black Skeletons,

“Summon them again.”

Sejun ordered Immortal,

“I’ll never do it! Even if I die, I won’t!”

Immortal started to resist.

Currently, the number of souls under Immortal’s control ranged from the strongest first sword to the tenth sword, totaling ten souls.

Liberating them meant Immortal’s own death.

“Really? You’d rather die?”

“Yes! I’ll never do it!”

Immortal sternly answered Sejun’s question. Sejun decided to use his last resort.

“Aileen, he’s resisting…”

Tattling to Aileen.

And then,

[The tower’s administrator asks who dares to defy you.]

Just like that.

Sejun quietly pointed at Immortal.
