– Puhahah, what… no…

Jǫrmungandr’s fragment laughed mockingly at Theo’s attack.

However, following the path of Theo’s paw, the giant serpent’s head split in half.

And then,

Sssss.

It turned into ash and disappeared.

Clang!

White coins began to fall from where Jǫrmungandr’s fragment had vanished. The coins were scattered, not clustered in one spot, but were scattered along the path of the fragment’s remains.

“Gaeron, collect them, meow!”

Theo, still glowing golden from burning the money, leapt towards the falling white coins and ordered Gaeron to collect them.

– Yes, Master!

Swoosh, swoosh.

Gaeron, perched on Theo’s head, quickly stretched out its tongue to catch the falling coins.

They had to hurry because beneath the falling coins was a sinister darkness surrounding the Tower, and instinct warned not to enter the darkness.

Moreover, the longer they stayed outside the Tower, the more unpleasant aura they felt. Initially faint, it grew stronger. Staying outside the tower for too long was dangerous.

“How… how could such a monster…”

Uren, petrified by Jǫrmungandr’s fragment’s gaze, was frozen in fear. The same was true for the rest of the group, including the Secret Inspection Bureau agents and the caravan guards, with weaker individuals were already unconscious.

They were like mice in front of a cat, unable to do anything but tremble.

Shiver, shiver.

Their trembling continued long after Theo had defeated Jǫrmungandr’s fragment. Although the fragment was gone, its terrifying image and gaze lingered vividly in their minds.

“Phew…”

“Huff! Huff!”

As time passed, they began to regain their senses one by one.

And then,

“Lord Uren, who is that person?”

The Bureau agents, mistaking Theo as part of Uren’s group, inquired about his identity.

“That person is the famous, subordinate of the great Black Dragon, the deadly dragon clawed golden cat Theo Park!”

Uren proudly introduced Theo. Originally a yellow cat in Uren’s mind, Theo’s name had changed to that of a golden cat, imprinting Theo as the one who defeated Jǫrmungandr’s fragment.

For the first time, Theo’s introduction was altered by someone else. Finally, Theo’s fame began to spread.

“Oh! So that’s the famous Theo Park?!”

Having heard of Theo while working at the Secret Inspection Bureau, they instantly recognized Theo.

But,

‘Just a genius wandering merchant trusted by the Black Dragon?’

‘Just a powerless boyfriend of the great destructive wizard Iona?’

Theo’s strength was far different from the information they had. Naturally, their knowledge of Theo was based on reports written when Jeras was active as a Bureau agent.

Even though there were updates, the information couldn’t accurately capture Theo’s ability to rapidly grow stronger by burning money.

‘We need to discard the old information.’

‘We need to start the report from scratch!’

The Bureau agents began gathering new information for their report, observing Theo diligently collecting the falling coins.
