Solo Farming In The Tower

Late at night on the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

Waiting for it to get dark, Sejun ate an Elixir-grade Cherry Tomato and raised his magic power stat to the potential limit of 2412.

“Alright! The lights are out too.”

He completely darkened the surroundings and infused magic power into the golden key.

However,

“Aish…”

No light emanated from the golden key. It was a failure.

“Meow. Chairman Park, it’s late. Let’s just sleep, meow.”

Theo, who had been waiting by his side, yawned and urged Sejun to go to bed.

“Yeah. I should.”

Thinking he had done everything possible under the circumstances, he went inside the house without any regrets and fell asleep.

A few hours later,

Inside Sejun’s bedroom where he slept,

Gororong.

Kyurorong.

Arorong.

Kirorong.

The sound of five people snoring was heard. Iona had finished her duties at the Wizard’s Association and had joined them.

Then,

(Pip-pip! Sejun-nim, I’m back.)

The golden bat quietly reported its return from Earth and

Snap.

Clinged to Sejun’s side, hiding itself.

And then,

Baerorong.

The golden bat snored, seemingly tired from its trip to Earth after a long while.

Thus, the sound of six people snoring in Sejun’s bedroom became each other’s lullabies.

Another peaceful night on the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

Yet, a massive war was about to start below.

***

83rd floor of the tower.

“By the king’s command! Kill all enemies blocking the way of the Caiman Kingdom without leaving a single one alive!”

300,000 soldiers of the Caiman Kingdom invaded the 83rd floor to attack the Kingdom of Kov on the 79th floor.

And then,

“The Caiman Kingdom’s army is coming! Pack your things quickly!”

“Let’s run away!”

The residents of the 83rd floor chose to flee rather than fight the invaders.

The Caiman Kingdom’s army did not chase and kill as long as they did not block their way, so it was a rather reasonable choice.

However, the chestnut hedgehogs did not do that.

Kwieek! Kwieek!

[This land belongs to the great Black Dragon, Park Sejun! We will definitely protect it!]

Because there was a chestnut farm located right in the middle of the path the Caiman Kingdom’s army was passing through.

Kwieek!

[We will protect it!]

Kwieek!

[Smash them all!]

Following the words of the chestnut hedgehogs’ leader, Godori, the other chestnut hedgehogs stretched their cute hands towards the sky in agreement.

Kwieek!

[Pull out the thorns and stick them in the ground!]

Kwieek! Kwieek!

Following Godori’s order, the orderly lined-up hedgehogs plucked two thorns from the hedgehog in front of them and

Pook. Pook.

Stuck them into the ground. The hedgehogs’ arms were too short to pluck thorns from their own backs.

Thus, after planting the thorns,

Chuk.

The hedgehogs stepped sideways

Pook. Pook.

And once again plucked thorns from the hedgehog in front of them, sticking them into the ground, effectively covering the surrounding area of the chestnut farm with thorns.

hedgehogs began a desperate resistance against the 300,000 soldiers of the Caiman
