Black Towers Administrator Area.
Khihihi. The pancakes Sejun gave me are delicious! Wait a bit, Sejun, I will find them all for you!
Aileen enjoyed the pancakes while using the Destruction Detector to search for the powers of destruction in the Black Tower.
After Brachio left, the dragons who had been seriously discussing in a corner approached.
And
My granddaughter, dont you think its cheating for Brachio to have come in her true form?
Kaiser spoke up as their representative.
Right! Who doesnt have a true form?!
Exactly! We should be fair!
Therefore, we, the Four Dragons Council, propose the expulsion of Brachio.
Behind them, supporting the notion were Kellion, Ramter, and Tier.
The four, usually bickering among themselves, united under the name Four Dragons Council to call for the expulsion of Brachio.
They were seriously talking in the corner and ended up creating a name.
Thus, under the guise of fairness, these dragons aimed to remove Brachio from the competition.
However,
I refuse.
For Aileen, it was an absurd request. Grandma Brachio is also our Sejuns customer!
As expected, my granddaughter. Youre stubborn just like me.
Kaiser was pleased as he looked at Aileen, who, despite the words of the four clan leaders, didnt falter and spoke her mind.
Hey. Kaiser, is this the time to be pleased? Should we also come in our true forms?
That would attract too much attention
Right. That would be too dangerous.
If the leaders of four dragon clans gathered, it would not only attract the attention of other dragon clans but also potentially that of destruction itself.
How about we talk to our Sejun about it?
Lets do that! If our Sejun talks to Aileen, she will understand.
Right! Speaking of which, its about time we bought Samyangju from Sejun.
I also need to get a Detoxifying Green Onion from our Sejun!
The four dragons hurried off to find Sejun.

After making pancakes for Aileen,
~Hmm ~hmm ~hmm.
~Meow ~meow ~meow.
Shoop. Shoop.
[You have harvested a Sturdy Carrot.]
[Your job experience has increased slightly.]
[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 8 has slightly increased.]
[You have gained 70 experience points.]
..
.
Sejun, with Theo hanging on his leg, harvested the Sturdy Carrots.
I want to get closer to Sejun hyung too
Ajax looked enviously at the two, feeling a strong bond between them.
At that moment,
Thud. Thud.
Kikihit! Kking!
Hehe! This carrot is so hard, its perfect for scratching my teeth!
Ajax saw Fenrir, chewing on one of the Sturdy Carrots Sejun had harvested, and running away with it.
Ah! If I play with Blackie, Sejun hyung will like it, right?
Thinking it would help him get closer to his hyung, Ajax found a way to bond with Sejun.
Snap.
Ajax picked up a stick to play with Fenrir,
Blackie, fetch!
and threw it to Fenrir.
However,
Crunch. Crunch.
Busy grinding his teeth on the Sturdy Carrot, Fenrir ignored him.
Blackie, I said fetch that!
When Ajax pointed to the stick and told him again,
Kking? Kking!
Humph! You, a dragon, want to play with me? No way!
Fenrir scoffed at him and continued chewing on the carrot.
Eek! Blackie, fetch it!
No matter what Ajax said, Fenrir just kept grinding his teeth.
Seeing his plan to get closer to Sejun failing,
Uhuh I wanted to be closer with Sejun hyung
Ajax whimpered.
Kking? Kking. Kking!
So, you really want to play that badly? Cant be helped then. Ill play with you!
Thud. Thud.
Misinterpreting Ajaxs crying as a desire to play with him badly, Fenrir finally picked up the stick and brought it over.
Eheheh. Its fun because I play with you, right? Here! Blackie, fetch!
Kking.
Dragon youngling, youre happy simply because Im playing with you.
Thus, Ajax and Fenrir thought they were playing with each other and had a great time.
Playing with Blackie isnt too bad.
Playing with this dragon kid isnt bad either.
Unintentionally, the two became friends.
In the meantime,
Hehehe. Ive harvested quite a lot.
Sejun felt proud as he looked at the Sturdy Carrots he had harvested.
[Your soul feels fullfilled.]
[Your Mental Strength increases by 1.]
His Mental Strength had increased.
Now I need to harvest potatoes.
As Sejun went to the potato field, which was his next target, and started harvesting potatoes,
-What has our Sejun been up to?
Kaiser and the other dragons came looking for Sejun.
Im harvesting potatoes. But what brings you here?
-Ahem. We
Kaiser started speaking on behalf of the group in response to Sejuns question.
So, youre saying to ban Green Dragon Brachio from entering the Black Tower?
-Exactly.
I dont like that idea. Its good for me if theres even one more person to buy my crops.
When Sejun refused,
-Ahem. Then we will sell to the other dragons for you.
-Right. Well sell to the other dragonss for you!
The dragons offered an alternative, trying to persuade Sejun. Of course, they intended to take a commission in the process.
However,
Thats not possible.
Sejun refused. It was too obvious what the dragons intended to do with his crops.
At that moment,
Puhuhut. Thats right, meow! Only I, Vice Chairman Theo, the right hand of Chairman Park, can sell Chairman Parks goods, meow!
Theo supported Sejuns stance and stepped forward.
And then,
-Theo, you?
Thats right, meow! Its going to be an auction, meow!
Theo declared that he would open an auction house to sell Sejuns crops to the nine dragon tribes.
Wow!
Sejuns imagination soared at Theos words.
Theo, in front of the nine dragon tribes, selling his crops. Just the thought made his heart swell with pride.
-An auction
-Then its going to cost a lot of money?
-We need to make the kids work harder.
-Dont we have anything to sell?
The dragons hurried back to the fountain to come up with a plan to gather Tower Coins.
Meanwhile, the name of the auction house was decided.
[Dragon Market.]
The cheesy name, Dragon Market, was obviously coined by Sejuns cheesy naming sense.
Hehehe. Well done, Vice Chairman Theo.
Puhuhut. I know, meow!
Pleased with Sejuns praise, Theo laid down belly-up. Pet me here, meow!
Swoosh. Swoosh.
But Theo, what do we do now?
While petting Theos belly, Sejun asked him about the plans for Dragon Market.
However,
Meow? Of course, I, Vice Chairman Theo, dont know, meow! But it will all go well, meow!
Theo looked at Sejun as if asking why he was asking him that, clearly having no plan.
Ah, right. He was always like this.
Sejun chided himself for expecting too much from Theo and pondered how to manage Dragon Market.
First where should the location be?
As Sejun was contemplating,
Hyung! Youre opening an auction house? Ill help too!
Ajax, having tired Blackie out with fetch, now flew over while holding him as he slept.
It would be great if Ajax helps.
Yes! Ill help a lot!
At that moment,
Dada-dada.
Kueng!
[Cuengi will help too!]
Cuengi, who had returned from the herb garden, also shouted.
Thus, with Cuengi and Ajax joining as staff for the Dragon Market,
[The Towers Administrator says she has detected the power of destruction.]
Aileen found the power of destruction.
[The Towers Administrator says the power of destruction is detected on the 49th floor of the Tower.]
49th floor? Then lets go down there now.
Sejun, already troubled by the Dragon Market, went down the Tower to clear his mind.
A little while later,
[You have arrived at the 49th floor of the Black Tower.]
[You moved from the top floor, 99th, to the 49th floor.]
[You have descended 50 floors.]
[Due to the effect of <Title: Retrogressor>, all stats increase by 50.]
Sejun arrived at the 49th floor.
Hello, Sejun~nim.
Horned Mole Dooku, the boss mole of the 49th floor who was guarding the waypoint, greeted Sejun.
Yes.
Sejun greeted Dooku back and then,
Snap.
He took out the purified fragment of Fenrirs core.
However,
.
There was no reaction at all.
Whats going on? Is it because were too far away? Toryong!
Sejun called Toryong while holding the fragment of Fenrirs core and started wandering around the 49th floor.
Wow, these have grown well.
Sejun remarked as he looked at the vast field of Sturdy Blade Green Onions, seemingly endless.
These were the ones he had planted before.
In between the rows of green onions, moles were busily harvesting them.
A short while later,
As they passed the green onion field, Sejuns eyes caught sight of persimmon trees with ripe persimmons.
Wow! Lets pick some persimmons!
[You have harvested a persimmon.]
[Your job experience has increased very slightly.]
[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 8 has slightly increased.]
[You have gained 1 experience point.]
..
.
Naturally, Sejun went to the farm to start harvesting the perfectly ripe persimmons. How could he pass by such well-ripened fruits?
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Tasty!]
Hehehe! Sweet!
As Sejun and his companions were excitedly picking and eating the persimmons,
Kikihit! Kking!
Hehe. I found my core!
Thud. Thud.
While Sejun was distracted harvesting persimmons, Fenrir, who had woken up from a nap, grabbed his core in his mouth and ran off.
Sejun had placed the core fragment together with Fenrir.
And then,
Nom.
Fenrir, having reached a secluded spot, swallowed his core.
However,
[You do not meet the usage restrictions to consume this.]
Kking?!
Why cant I swallow it if its my core?!
As the aura of destruction was removed, Fenrirs core fragment did not recognize its owner.
Kking!
Hey! Its me! Your owner!
While Fenrir was trying to swallow the core,
Ting.
Kking?
The core he was chewing slipped and bounced out of his mouth,
Rolling
and started rolling down the sloped ground.
Kking!
No!
Thud. Thud.
Fenrir hurriedly chased after the rolling core fragment.
***
Tasty. Huh?! Where did our Blackie go?
Sejun, while eating the persimmons, belatedly realized that Fenrir, who should have been sleeping in his pocket, was gone.
And so was Fenrirs core fragment.
Did Blackie take it with him?
Cuengi, please find Blackie.
Kueng!
[Okay!]
Sniff. Sniff.
Following Sejuns request, Cuengi used his nose to sniff out and track Fenrirs scent.
As Sejun was searching for Fenrir,
Kking!
Stop right there!
Fenrir was eagerly chasing after the core fragment.
At that moment,
Koogung.
-This is Lord Fenrirs energy?!
Violet, the eleventh seat of the Apostles of Destruction and the Amethyst Giant, hidden underground, sensed the power of Fenrirs core fragment and rose up.
Kking! Kking! Kking!
Violet, nice to see you! Its me, the Fenrir, the noble wolf!
Fenrir barked happily upon seeing Violet.
However,
-What is this creature?!
Violet did not recognize Fenrir.
And then,
-Kukukuku. But is this Lord Fenrirs core?
Violet shifted focus from Fenrir to the core fragment containing Fenrirs power, eyeing it with greed.
-If I just eat this
As Violet was about to absorb Fenrirs core fragment,
Kking!
Its mine!
Fenrir quickly grabbed the core fragment in his mouth and started running.
However,
Thud! Thud!
His short legs couldnt carry him fast enough; he hardly made it as far as Violets feet.
-You little!! Hand it over!
Violet extended her fist towards Fenrir. There was no need to regulate its strength since the core couldnt be broken.
At that moment,
Stop!
Along with Sejuns shout,
Meow-meow! Meow-meow!
Kueng!
[Cuengi s new technique, Cuengi Destroyer Punch!]
Giga Thunder
Theo, Cuengi, and Ajax unleashed their attacks on Violet.
Clink.
With that, Violet dropped purple coins and vanished.
And then,
Blackie, why did you wandered off alone? And you would have been in big trouble if you ate that.
Kking
My core
In the end, Fenrir had his core fragment taken away by Sejun again.
Fenrir was indeed the master of team kills, accidentally causing more harm to allies than enemies.
