Solo Farming In The Tower

“Huh? Flamie, what’s wrong?”

Pop. Pop.

Using a leaf like a shovel to dig into the ground,

[Eyup!]

Sejun asked as he watched Flamie bury herself in a small hole.

[Hehe. Because the soil here is good.]

Flamie answered with an awkward laugh. It was because, contrary to expectations, her roots couldn’t find her location, so she had to bury her body in the ground and call for her roots.

“Hehehe. Is that so?”

The soil is good? Is it because of the power I used? Sejun felt inexplicably happy at Flamie’s words.

Whooosh.

“It might get cold, so I’ll light a fire for you.”

[Hehe, thank you.]

Sejun lit a fire next to Flamie, worrying it might be cold,

“Guys, let’s pick some Egg Fruits before dinner.”

He called the animals.

Kueng! Kueng!

[Cuengi will lift Dad high! Hold onto Cuengi tight!]

As Cuengi said, enlarging his body to about Sejun’s chest height and spreading his front legs to the side,

Whoosh.

Sejun tightly hugged Cuengi.

Kueng! Kueng~!

[Docking complete! Let’s go~!]

Bang!

With Cuengi’s shout, Sejun and Cuengi shot up to the top of the Birds Bearing Tree at an incredible speed. Of course, the other animals hanging onto Sejun’s body were also with them.

Once alone,

[Roots! Over here! Over here!]

Flamie started to call for her roots earnestly, spreading her leaves wide like filling up a WiFi signal to full bars.

And then,

[What’s your name?]

She asked the Birds Bearing Tree while waiting for her roots.

However,

-Sssrk!

The Birds Bearing Tree was a complete baby tree and didn’t know how to speak.

-Sssrk! Sssrk!

Still, happy to meet Flamie, who could listen to its words, the tree chattered energetically,

[Is that so?]

Flamie listened as attentively as she could to the tree’s story.

***

On the outskirts of destruction.

“Once Halphas’s recovery is complete, all of you will attack the nine towers guarded by dragons simultaneously.”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

The Apostles of Destruction from the 4th to the 12th seats answered in unison to the command of Fenrir, the 1st seat Apostle of Destruction.

The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd seats among the 12 Apostles of Destruction held a much higher rank, allowing them to command the other Apostles.

“And in the meantime, Jǫrmungandr, create a fragment to burn my psyche and infiltrate the Black Tower.”

“Fenrir, why do you insist on infiltrating the tower with a complete psyche instead of a fragment?”

The 3rd seat Apostle of Destruction, Jǫrmungandr, the world-devouring serpent, asked Fenrir with a puzzled expression.

Entering the tower with a complete psyche meant instant annihilation upon death.

It wasn’t that they were worried about Fenrir’s annihilation reducing their strength.

If Fenrir were to be annihilated, another Apostle of Destruction would be born to replace his position, so there was no loss in their power.

However, Jǫrmungandr didn’t understand why Fenrir would take such a risk.

“It’s because I am a noble wolf.”

“···Alright.”

Jǫrmungandr gave up trying to understand and decided to comply with Fenrir’s request.

Otherwise, he would nag until it was done.

Early morning on the 79th floor of the tower.

“Uhaaaa.”

Sejun stretched as he woke up on Cuengi’s belly,

“Meowwww.”

Kueeeng.

The animals stretched too.
