: I’M THE GREAT NOBLE WOLF BLACKIE! I’M NOT SCARED!
TL: Hanguk
[You have planted a Destruction Devourer Seed in magic-infused soil.]
···
..
.
While Sejun was planting the seeds,
Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey.
Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey.
The Destruction Devourers were spitting seeds everywhere, and
Kihihit. Kking
[Hihi! Hey! There’s more here!]
Blackie didn’t control the Destruction Devourers at all and cheerfully barked to let Sejun know about the scattered seeds.
“Blackie, if the seeds are scattered like that, it’ll be hard to collect them. Tell them to spit the seeds in one place.”
Even though Sejun instructed Blackie,
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hihi. I don’t wanna!]
Blackie, feeling ecstatic about having so many subordinates, got excited and crossed the line.
And then,
“Hak…”
I don’t like this, meow!
Theo, who was picking up the seeds instead of Sejun who was busy planting them, started to ignite the first stage of his anger at Blackie’s, who had greatly overstepped.
It seems our youngest needs some mental education, meow!
Although Sejun had told Theo to let Blackie off the hook since he was still a baby, but it seemed the effects of the previous mental education had worn off.
As Theo approached to scold Blackie,
Kueng! Kueng!
[I’m back! Blackie, come here!]
Cuengi, who had returned home after special training with the Minotaur King, saw Blackie fooling around and took a stick out of his snack pouch.
Thus, Blackie, who was about to be dragged away by the two.
But,
Kking!
[Guys, protect me!]
Blackie wasn’t alone anymore.
Kiki!
Kiki!
He had 150,000 minions with him.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hihi! I have many minions now! Don’t mess with me!]
Blackie confidently shouted while hiding behind the Destruction Devourers, but
“Hak! Move aside, meow!”
Kueng!
[Move aside!]
As Theo and Cuengi unleashed their energy,
Kii…
Kii…
The Destruction Devourers slowly moved aside.
Kking?! Kking!
[Guys, where are you going?! Don’t leave me!]
A rift formed between Blackie and the two like the parting of the Red Sea.
······
Blackie, after briefly contemplating while making eye contact with the two,
I’m the great noble wolf Blackie! I’m not scared!
Kking! Kiking!
[I am the great Blackie… Agh!]
He held onto his last bit of pride and received a thorough mental education instead.
Kiking!
[Save Blackie!]
As Blackie was getting disciplined by Theo and Cuengi, the Destruction Devourers trembled as they listened to their leader’s screams while continuing to spit out the seeds.
Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey.
Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey.
Seeds were spat out endlessly.
And,
“I won’t be able to finish this today anyway…”
Seeing the never-ending seeds being spat out, Sejun decided to call it a day.
First, I should at least gather the seeds.
If buried in the soil, the seeds would be hard to find, so Sejun took out a bowl and began collecting the scattered seeds around him.
Then,
Kii!
Kii!
Watching Sejun’s actions, the Destruction Devourers started putting the fallen seeds into Sejun’s bowl.
They learned indirectly by watching what happened to their leader when acting thoughtlessly.
Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey.
Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey.
The Destruction Devourers, now aware, started spitting the seeds directly into the bowl Sejun was holding.
“Here, you can spit them in here.”
Sejun, who found it easier now, put the bowl on the ground and
“It’s already time for dinner. Everyone, eat this.”
Sejun sent some Earth food to the tower slaves Ajax, Veronica, Zelga, and Orik.
He had originally planned to send it at lunchtime but completely forgot while planting the Destruction Devourer seeds.
After sending the food, about five minutes later,
[The White Tower slave is tearfully saying the food is delicious and he wants to see Sejun hyung soon.]
The first message came from Ajax.
“Hey, why are you crying? Your hyung will get stronger quickly, and then you can see my face, silly.”
[The White Tower slave is crying harder, saying that seems impossible.]
Ajax wept even more at Sejun’s words.
This guy…
Thanks to this, Sejun and Ajax both cried for different reasons.
[The Purple Tower slave highly praises Sejun-nim’s food, saying it never disappoints.]
[The Blue Tower slave thanks you, saying they enjoyed it with their family.]
Messages from Veronica and Zelga followed.
[The Brown Tower slave wants to treat you to a traditional goblin dish as a token of gratitude for the delicious food.]
The last message was from Orik.
“No thanks.”
Is this repaying kindness with enmity?
Sejun considered calling Orik for a proper lesson out of sheer indignation.
“No, it’s not right to scold someone after feeding them.”
This will be saved for later.
If Orik makes another mistake, he’ll receive double the punishment.
Just as Sejun finished reading all the messages from the tower slaves,
“Puhuhut. Now behave well, meow!”
Kueng!
[There’ll be more mental education if you don’t listen!]
Kking
[Yes, hyung~nims!]
Having been properly disciplined, Blackie carefully followed behind Theo and Cuengi, cautious not to step on their shadows.
Of course, it remained to be seen how long this mental education effects would last.
And so, Sejun and his group ate dinner, played around, and ended the day.
***
Black Tower’s Administrator Area.
“Kehihi. Now that I’ve mastered fried eggs, it’s time to move on to more difficult dishes.”
Aileen, gaining confidence from watching Sejun happily eat the fried eggs she made, decided.
“This time, it’s spicy fish stew!”
Suddenly, she significantly raised the cooking difficulty level. Of course, Aileen herself wasn’t aware of how much she had raised it.
Spicy fish stew didn’t seem that hard?
When you know nothing, everything looks easy.
“Hm-hmm-hm.”
Humming a tune, Aileen took out a pot and threw an unprepared whole fish into it.
Just as Sejun was about to face another crisis of encountering a fish head after Aileen’s healthy soup,
“Aileen, where are you?”
“We’re here!”
“Your Pobi oppa is here!”
“Aileen, Silvia unnie is here too!” owns this.
The voices of Sejun’s saviors were heard.
Aileen didn’t know, but today was the scheduled gathering day decided by the hatchlings’ parents.
All the parents had eagerly awaited this day, and no family was absent.
The hatchlings, released in the Black Tower’s Administrator Area, busily looked for Aileen.
I need to practice cooking…
Aileen had no choice but to put the fish back into her spatial storage to prevent it from spoiling and,
“Welcome, unnie, oppa.”
She greeted the hatchlings.
We played hide and seek last time, so what should we play today?
Aileen pondered over how to entertain her older siblings.
Then,
Ah! That’s it!
A great idea popped into Aileen’s head.
“Unnie, oppa, this is called a superhero landing… Polymorph release.”
Explaining as she went, Aileen released her polymorph, soared high into the sky, and then,
“Giga Lightning. Fire Storm. Ice Fog.”
Boom.
Using magic to create a dazzling effect, she descended toward the ground and landed in a superhero pose.
Kehihi. This is fun!
Originally, she had planned to just demonstrate and watch her unnie and oppas do it, but she felt an exhilarating thrill.
“Wow! That’s so cool! I want to do a superhero landing too!”
“Me too!”
“Silvia will do it first!”
The hatchlings felt the same way. Seeing the superhero landing made their hearts race.
Thus, Aileen and the six hatchlings began intense training to create their own impressive superhero landings.
***
The next morning.
“Alright!”
Sejun woke up.
[The seal of the Earth’s Jewel has been broken.]
[Pan, the God of Gold Dust, who was sealed within the Earth’s Jewel, is released from the seal.]
···
[Pan, the God of Gold Dust, repays his favor by creating a gold dust panning site on 3.3 square meters of land.]
[During sleep, 10% of your life force has been stored.]
[The Life Orb is 9.48% complete.]
[0.1 magic power has been accumulated over 24 hours.]
[Magic power increases by 0.1.]
“A gold dust panning site?”
“Meow…”
Kiinbg…
Reading the messages, Sejun got up placing both Theo and Blackie in their spots.
And then,
“Wow. Why are there so many seeds…”
The first thing Sejun noticed when he went outside was the bowl overflowing with Destruction Devourer seeds. They seemed to have spat them out late into the night.
After collecting the seeds,
But where are the Devourers?
Looking around,
Kirolong.
The Destruction Devourers were huddled together, dozing off in the cornfield.
Burp.
Occasionally burping and emitting a blue mist, it seemed they were absorbing the energy of destruction even while sleeping.
After confirming that the Devourers were asleep,
“But where is the gold dust panning site?”
Sejun started looking for the gold dust panning site.
Could it be near the pond?
Remembering scenes from movies where people panned for gold using wide plates by the water, Sejun went to the pond inside the cave.
And then,
“As expected, it’s here.”
He found a 3.3 square meters gold dust panning site emitting a soft golden light.
“Hehehe.”
This looks fun.
Sejun took out a large plate and filled it with soil mixed with gold dust, gently shaking it in the water.
But,
“Huh? There’s nothing here.”
Sejun couldn’t find any gold even after all the soil on the plate washed away.
The gold dust had flowed away with the soil. Extracting gold dust wasn’t easy.
“This is hard.”
Sejun tried several more times but,
“Ack! I’m done with this!”
In the end, he couldn’t obtain a single speck of gold and only wasted his time.
Making me suffer like this, Pan-nim, you get 0.9 square meters.
Despite receiving a gold dust panning site that generated 10 kg of gold dust daily, Pan only earned a 1 square meters Pan Road.
As Sejun was getting up from his failed attempt at extracting gold dust,
“Huh?”
He saw a huge black clam about the size of two palms put together next to him.
It was a clam grown in the pearl oyster farm created by Pearl, the God of Pearls, as a token of gratitude.
Shall I make grilled clams?
Sejun licked his lips at the sight of the giant pearl clam.
Let’s make grilled cheese clams.
And so the breakfast menu was decided, and
Grab.
He tried to pick up the pearl clam but…
“Huh?!”
The clam wouldn’t budge. It didn’t move an inch.
What’s this?
“Ugh!”
Sejun tried again with all his might, but the clam didn’t move.
At that moment,
Kueng?
[Dad, what are you doing there?]
Cuengi poked his head out from the cave ceiling, having heard Sejun’s grunts.
“Cuengi, help me out. This clam is really heavy!”
Kueng!
[Got it! Cuengi will help!]
Thud.
Cuengi landed gracefully in a superhero pose and then,
Grab.
He lifted the pearl clam effortlessly.
······
It really was heavy?
Sejun felt a bit embarrassed.
It seems Dad is still very weak!
Cuengi resolved to gather many medicinal herbs to help strengthen Sejun.
With Cuengi’s help, Sejun moved the giant pearl clam to the kitchen and made grilled cheese clams.
“Huh?! What’s this?”
[Gravity Crushing Black Pearl]
While eating the clam, Sejun discovered a black pearl the size of a fist.
“Oh! With this…”
We could make Iona’s staff?
As Sejun thought of Iona,
“Puhuhut. We can make Iona’s staff with this, meow!”
Theo also shouted, thinking of Iona.
If they used the black pearl with the power of gravity as the core and added the hearts of the Yeti, King Giant Worm, and Albatross that they had already collected into the staff?
We could make an item even better than the Staff of Disaster for Iona, meow!
Moreover, if they used the precious branch of the World Tree in the staff, the grade of the resulting item would be unimaginable.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, let’s go to the dragons, meow!”
“Alright.”
Sejun responded, trying to pick up the black pearl.
But,
…
He couldn’t lift the black pearl. The clam wasn’t heavy after all.
Sejun hadn’t read the description, so he didn’t know that the black pearl had an option where greater gravity applied the less magic power one had.
Of course, the pearl itself was also quite heavy.
“Cuengi, can you…”
Kueng!
[Got it!]
In the end, with Cuengi’s help, Sejun took the black pearl and went to find the dragons playing at the fountain with Theo.
At that time,
In the merchant passage connecting the 50th and 60th floors of the Black Tower,
Piyo!
[Run away!]
Kkuig!
Piyot and Uren were being chased by the fragments of the Apostle of Destruction that had entered the Black Tower.
