Solo Farming In The Tower-Novel

TL: Hanguk

“Hehehe.”

[Blood of the Bronze Giant]

→ This is the blood drawn from the body of a bronze giant.

→ Upon consumption, both stamina and stamina potential increase by 10% each. (The maximum increase in stamina and stamina potential is 100.)

→ Upon consumption, you can awaken the talent: Herculean Strength.

→ Once you drink the blood of the bronze giant, drinking it again will not produce any effects.

→ Expiration date: None

→ Grade: S+

Sejun smiled as he held the glass bottle in his hand.

The talent: Herculean Strength was unknown, but a 10% increase in both stamina and stamina potential was an enormous number.

While Sejun was looking at the options of the glass bottle,

“Puhuhut.”

Theo licked his belly eagerly, waiting for Sejun’s touch. Now the fur won’t fall out, meow!

Pop.

While Theo was grooming himself, Sejun opened the bottle.

“…?”

A surprisingly not bad scent flowed from the bottle. A bit of a metallic smell with a sweet undertone.

‘It won’t taste strange, will it?’

Usually, if there are distinctive tastes like bitterness or sourness, the description mentions the taste.

But since there was no such description here, Sejun boldly one-shot the blood of the bronze giant, somewhat relieved.

Gulugulu.

The thick liquid entered his mouth.

But

…?!

Unexpectedly, an indescribably strange taste covered his tongue.

“Ugh!”

Sejun grimaced and hurriedly grabbed some water,

Gulp gulp.

He swallowed the blood of the bronze giant in his mouth. It was a bizarre taste that couldn’t be described in words.

Moreover, the worst part was that the liquid was so thick that even drinking water couldn’t wash it down well.

“It’s a disaster, meow! Chairman Park, your face is rotten again, meow!”

Tatatata.

Thump, thump, thump.

Theo quickly climbed onto Sejun’s shoulder and started kneading Sejun’s face,

“Ugh! Ugh!”

‘Hey! Don’t press down!’

Sejun desperately covered his mouth with his hand to prevent any of the bronze giant’s blood from spewing out, pushed by Theo’s kneading.

‘Not a single drop can be wasted!’

Already having lost his taste, Sejun swallowed it all, feeling wronged.

And then

[You have consumed the Blood of the Bronze Giant.]

[Your stamina and stamina potential have increased by 10%.]

[Stamina increased by 81.]

[Stamina potential increased by 85.]

[You have awakened the talent: Herculean Strength.]

The message appeared. Fortunately, not a single drop of the bronze giant’s blood was wasted, so he received 100% of the item’s effect.

“Hehehe. Done. Now to check the talent.”

Sejun smiled as he checked the content of the talent: Herculean Strength. He hadn’t expected much from the talent since his stats had already increased significantly.

However,

[Talent: Herculean Strength]

– A talent with high potential in strength.

– Every time you level up, your strength increases by 10.

– Your strength potential increases by 500.

The talent was a jackpot.

“Oh!”

Sejun was happy,

“Puhuhut. Now I’ve fixed Chairman Park’s face, meow!”

After finishing the kneading with a proud expression, Theo flopped down on Sejun’s lap,

Pang, pang.

“Chairman Park, I’m ready now, meow!”

He said, proudly patting his belly.

“Okay. Later.”

“Meow?”

Clank.

Sejun put Theo and the animals into the void storage and moved to the 99th floor of the tower.

Thus, Sejun left the 79th floor.

Koogung.

Flamie moved its roots again and approached the Birds Bearing Tree.

Then,

[Flamie~nim, please give me a name!]

[What? You want me to give you a name?]

[Yes!]

The Birds Bearing Tree, now able to speak upon becoming a mature tree, asked Flamie to name it.

[Hmm… Since I’m Flamie, let’s name you Little Flamie.]

Thus, the Birds Bearing Tree on the 79th floor was named Little Flamie.

***

Goooo.

A demon with a pair of black horns and red wings, engulfed in flames, appeared amidst the swirling red mist.

It was Melpheus, the Demon of Ruin, 4th seat and one of the Apostles of Destruction.

“Burn it all!”

As soon as Melpheus revealed himself, he attacked the Blue Tower.

Whoosh.

Huge black flames poured down towards the Blue Tower like meteors.

“Block it!”

Koooo!

The blue dragons guarding the territory fired their frost breaths, blocking Melpheus’s attack.

Had the number of dragons guarding their territory not doubled recently due to the appearance of Halphas, they would have suffered significant damage from Melpheus’s surprise attack.

“Light of Ruin!”

In the meantime, Melpheus prepared another attack,

Koooo!

The blue dragons blocked Melpheus’s attack with their breaths again.

A fierce battle of offense and defense.

No, a desperate defense.

“Huff. Huff.”

“Stay strong!”

“We must hold on until our leader arrives!”

They were growing tired from blocking Melpheus’s attacks.

“Kuk. It would be disappointing if you’re already tired.”

In contrast, Melpheus, who wasn’t tired at all.

Then,

“You bastard! How dare you show up here?!”

Morling Aster, the great blue dragon and head of the Aster family, appeared with all the blue dragons from the territory.

“Isn’t it the place where ice lizards live! Die! Wave of Ruin!”

Black flames rose like a tidal wave, attempting to engulf the dragons.

“How dare you!”

Koooo!

Morling fired his breath at the approaching black flames.

As the leader of the blue dragons, Morling’s breath was of a different caliber compared to the others.

Boom!

Morling’s breath collided with Melpheus’s black flames.

However,

“Eek!”

Morling’s breath was blocked by the Wave of Ruin, unable to advance further.

In the meantime, the blue dragons who appeared with Morling gave the essence of ice to the dragons fighting Melpheus, helping them recover their strength.

The essence of ice was used not only to balance the world but also to restore the strength of the blue dragons.

And then,

“Support our leader!”

Koooo!

All the blue dragons fired their breaths towards Morling’s breath.

Then, naturally, the other blue dragons’ breaths merged with Morling’s, growing larger and larger.

Bang!

With the support of the other dragons, Morling’s breath destroyed the Wave of Ruin and attacked Melpheus.

“Kuk. The blue dragons’ skills haven’t rusted yet.”

Crack.

Melpheus tore off his arm frozen by the blue dragons’ breaths and said,

“But if that’s all you’ve got, you’re all going to die!”

Melpheus threw his torn arm at them,

Boom!

“Ugh!”

Morling blocked the arm, but the aftermath caused scales to be torn off, leaving a small wound.

“Release the seal.”

In the meantime, Melpheus simultaneously released the seals up to his third stage.

Three more pairs of wings appeared on Melpheus’s back, increasing his power sixfold.

And then,

Crack.

At the same time, Melpheus’s arm began to regenerate.

“Attack!”

Koooo!

Morling fired his breath at Melpheus, who was regenerating his arm,

Koooo!

The other blue dragons supported him.

“Kuk. Is this all you’ve got?”

Melpheus effortlessly blocked their attacks with his remaining hand while regenerating his other arm.

‘We must hold on until support from the other dragons arrives!’

Morling Aster fired his breath, looking around at the Brown Tower and Green Tower, which were closest to the Blue Tower.

Being the closest, they were the most likely to notice any abnormalities with the Blue Tower first and come to support.

But then,

“···?!”

Morling saw brown and green dragons fighting against the Apostles of Destruction.

The Brown Tower and Green Tower were also already in battle with other Apostles of Destruction.

‘Could it be that all nine towers are being attacked by the Apostles of Destruction?’

In such a situation, there was no chance of victory.

Just as Morling was about to fall into despair,

Boom!

“What the?! What is this?!”

“What else? It’s me, the great black dragon, Kaiser Pritani!”

Kaiser appeared out of nowhere and began attacking Melpheus.

Boom! Kwaang!

Kaiser unleashed relentless attacks, and Melpheus was caught off guard.

And then,

“Kukuk. See you next time.”

Crack.

With his neck bitten by Kaiser, Melpheus turned into red mist and disappeared as his last resort.

Clang.

Kaiser, who picked up the falling coin, asked Morling.

“Ah?! Uh……”

Morling tried to respond calmly.

Then,

“Ah?! Morling, you’re not okay! You’re injured?! Let me heal you!”

Kaiser noticed a small wound on Morling’s shoulder.

Seeing a good opportunity to discreetly collect dragon blood, Kaiser approached Morling with a bright smile.

“No, I can handle this much…”

Morling tried to refuse, but,

“No! You must be tired from the fight, let me heal you!”

Kaiser pretended to heal Morling’s wound,

Crrick, crrick,

And yanked out a bunch of scales around Morling’s wound,

Crunch.

And pressed the wound to extract dragon blood.

Since the regeneration ability was so strong and the wound had already healed significantly, blood was not flowing out well.

Thus, Morling was subjected to a blood donation disguised as treatment.

“Hey! It hurts! Just heal it with magic, why are you extracting scales and blood?!”

Morling started to get angry as the ‘treatment’ was much more painful than the wound itself.

“Ah, right. Healing.”

After collecting what he needed, Kaiser quickly healed Morling’s wound with magic.

And the same thing happened in the Brown Tower and Green Tower.

“Ah?! You guys are injured? Let me heal you!”

“Oh! You’re injured?!”

Kellion and Ramter also collected dragon blood, just like Kaiser.

***

99th Floor of the Tower.

Gugugung.

On the way to the farm riding Toryong.

Swoosh, swoosh.

“Puhuhut. Nice, meow!”

Theo lay sprawled on Sejun’s lap, receiving the petting he missed earlier, with a happy smile.

And then,

Kurorong.

Pirorong.

Cuengi lay his head besides Sejun’s hip and fell asleep, while Piyot lay on Cuengi’s belly, sleeping.

[Hehe. The sun feels so warm and nice.]

Lastly, Flamie was photosynthesizing on Sejun’s shoulder, enjoying the sun from a higher position than usual with a happy expression.

“Toryong, let’s take a detour and go slowly today.”

-Yes, Master.

Toryong slowed down and took a curved path instead of a straight one, fulfilling Sejun’s desire to enjoy a peaceful time with the animals.

A little later.

-Master, we have arrived.

Thus, Toryong announced their arrival at the 99th-floor farm, having taken about an hour longer than usual.

“Alright. Vice Chairman Theo, let’s get up.”

“Meow? No, meow! Not yet, meow!”

Theo threw a tantrum, wanting more petting even after nearly two hours.

Click.

“It’s over.”

“Meowwww…”

Sejun, with a firm attitude, grabbed Theo by the nape and geared up on his knees,

“Let’s go!”

He slid down from Toryong’s head, holding Cuengi and Piyot in his arms.

Swoosh.

“We’ve arrived.”

Thus, Sejun stepped onto the ground.

“Guys, let’s eat.”

They quickly had dinner with fried eggs and dried sweet potatoes and went to bed early.

***

The next morning.

“Alright.”

Sejun woke up feeling refreshed.

Then,

[You have stored 10% of your vitality during your sleep.]

[0.1% of the Life Orb has been completed.]

Messages appeared in front of Sejun.

With 10% of Sejun’s vitality, 0.1% of the Life Orb could be filled.

“It would take 1000 days to complete one Life Orb.”

In 1000 days, he would have an extra life.

One life every three years.

It was an incredible benefit, but

“I Won’t Die Before Then, Will I?”

The surrounding environment was not good, so this aspect was not well highlighted.

“Vice Chairman Theo, let’s get up.”ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ.nᴇt

“Meowwww…”

He put the whining Theo on his lap and

Swoosh.

marked the date on the wall, starting the morning of day 363.

And then,

“I need to take care of the black beans.”

Clank.

The first place Sejun headed to was the void storage.

Click.

Sejun opened the Golden Box of Abundance, took out two black beans, and then closed it again.

As Sejun was leaving the void storage with six black beans,

-Kahaha. When did our Sejun arrive?!

-Uhahaha. Sejun!

-Sejun, you lucky bastard!

The dragons flew towards Sejun with happy expressions, carrying hefty money pouches.
