“It was good when you were eating, right? Blackie, move quickly.”
Kking… kking…
[It’s… hard…]
Blackie, who had secretly eaten 20 roasted and dried sweet potatoes, was struggling to climb Treasure Mountain under Sejun’s strict surveillance, dragging his heavy body and panting hard.
It was both a diet and punishment for secretly stealing food from the void storage.
Meanwhile, the others were placing treasures into the Void Storage. Iona had linked another void storage extending it in <Uen>, so there was plenty of room.
At that moment“Kyoot?”
Something seems strange?
Iona, who was packing up treasures, tilted her head and spread her magic power around.
And then
“Kyoot? Why is there a rift in space here?”
She discovered a cleverly concealed dimensional crack.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. No matter how I look at it, this is suspicious. I need to check it out.”
Driven by curiosity, Iona injected magic power into the rift, widening it, and soon discovered a large void space.
The dimensional crack turned out to be an entrance to a hidden void space.
Inside the void space, a single red sword was floating in the air. It had to be stored separately because if placed with other treasures, the gems would all melt.
And then
“Oh. It’s warm. Is it because of that sword?”
Before anyone noticed, Sejun had appeared behind Iona and commented as he looked at the sword.
[Surtr’s Flame Sword]However, he didn’t try to approach. No, he couldn’t.
[The Orb of Death’s Energy warns of imminent death.]As he tried to get closer, a red warning message appeared.
I should give some dried sweet potatoes to Karurur later without Blackie knowing.
Thinking about repaying Karurur, Sejun took a step back.
And then
What should I do with that?
He pondered while looking at the sword. Several methods came to mind: destroying it, leaving it alone, subduing it, and so on.
At that moment
“Oh?!”
I wonder if that would work?!
A good idea popped into Sejun’s head.
“Iona, can you connect this place to my Void Storage too?”
2a09:bac5:47eb:b05::119:6
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Of course. Shall I connect it?”
“Just wait a bit. Let me persuade the sword first.”
On this side, there was an experienced trainer specialized in fire resistance and mental conditioning.
“Balchil!”
When Sejun called Mubalchil
Mumu!
I’m saved!
Mubalchil, who had been secretly pushing Blackie’s butt at his command without Sejun knowing, quickly flapped his wings and flew over to Sejun.
And then
Kking?!
[Hey! Where are you going?!]
When Mubalchil disappeared, Blackie rolled down Treasure Mountain.
Luckily, Sejun was too focused on the sword to notice, and Blackie quickly scurried back up the mountain.
As Mubalchil, who had been called, landed on Sejun’s shoulder
“Balchil, go and have a chat with that thing.”
Sejun pointed at Surtr’s Flame Sword and said to Mubalchil.
Mumu?
[A chat?]
“Yeah. A chat. Hehehe. You know the one.”
Mumu! Mumu!
[Ah! That chat! Leave it to me!]
This is perfect since I’ve been stressed lately!
Reading the meaningful glint in Sejun’s eyes, Mubalchil smirked and flew toward the sword.
Thunk.
Mubalchil’s body hit the sword and dropped to the floor.
Then
Fwoosh.
The area heated up for a moment, as if the sword was resisting Mubalchil, but it quickly calmed down.
A little while later
Mumu!
[Sejun-nim, I explained it clearly and got the message across!]
Mubalchil called out in a bright and confident voice as he flew back.
“Really?”
Step. Step.
As Sejun slowly approached the sword, no warning message appeared, perhaps thanks to Mubalchil’s proper training.
Once the persuasion was complete
“Iona, connect it to the Void Storage.”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes!”
Iona used magic to connect the void space with the sword to Sejun’s Void Storage, and now there were two void space rooms linked to Sejun’s Void Storage.
A little while later.
“Let’s head back now.”
Sejun returned to the first floor of the White Tower through the White Tower established in <Dren> along with his group.
“Kavas.”
[Moving to <Kavas>.]They instantly traveled to the 8th-level world <Kavas> through a dedicated passage.
***
Piyo?
[Where are we?]
Piyot, who had followed through the hole Uren had fallen into and traveled a long way, looked around and asked.
The surroundings were an indoor space made of wood, and he could feel movement in one direction. It seemed they had landed in a strange place.
What if I can’t see Theo~nim anymore?
Piyot was overcome with worry at the thought of not seeing Theo.
However
“Uhehehe. I don’t know.”
The true cause of the situation, Uren, scratched his head and laughed like a fool.
Lick. Lick. Lick.
“Mohehe. Uren-nim’s misfortune is worsening!”
Poyo cheerfully licked Uren with a bright expression.
Ah. It’s so frustrating!
As frustration welled up in Piyot’s tiny chest
Step. Step.
They heard someone approaching, and the group quickly hid and held their breath.
A moment later
“The next target is Earth, right?”
“Yeah. It’s a Level 1 world, so let’s loot it quickly and head back to base.”
“Right. We’ve been on this ship too long.”
They overheard the conversation of the passing individuals.
This is a ship? And they’re going to loot Earth?
The three had landed on a pirate ship belonging to a dimensional pirate crew. One that was targeting Earth.
As the voices faded into the distance
Earth? That sounds familiar…
Piyot’s blurry memory began to resurface.
Piyo?!
[Earth is where Sejun-nim came from?!]
He remembered that Earth was Sejun’s birthplace.
Piyo!
[How dare they target Sejun-nim’s world! I can’t let this slide!]
“Uhehehe. Right! Let’s teach them a lesson!”
“Mohehe. Sounds good!”
With that, Piyot, Uren, and Poyo rampaged through the ship, subduing the pirates and taking control of the pirate ship.
Piyo!
[If Sejun-nim and Theo~nim find out I stopped the pirate ship from invading Earth, they’ll definitely praise me!]
Piyot was overjoyed at the thought of being praised by Sejun and Theo.
“Uhehehe. Sejun-nim will probably cook lots of delicious food!”
Uren was excited too.
And
“Mohehe. But why does Uren-nim’s misfortune keep getting worse?”
Not that I’m complaining.
Poyo continued happily licking Uren’s ever-worsening misfortune.
And so, a massive pirate ship carrying a great misfortune headed for Earth.
***
[You have arrived in <Kavas>.]“Guys, let’s catch the fire moths first.”
To test the idea he had earlier, Sejun decided to start by catching fire moths.
Sejun’s idea was to catch fire moths and raise them inside the Void Storage.
After observing the fire moths for a long time, Sejun discovered that they needed intense heat to breed and grow, and Surtr’s Flame Sword was more than capable of providing it.
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, will go catch the fire moths right away, meow!”
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Cuengi will handle this side!]
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Then I’ll take the north.”
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Great Blackie will protect butler!]
With that, Theo, Cuengi, and Iona scattered east, west, and north to catch fire moths.
“Let’s go too.”
Kking!
[Let’s go!]
“Yeah. Let’s go. On foot.”
Kking?!
Sejun took the loudly shouting Blackie out of his sling bag and set him on the ground.
“It’s time for some exercise.”
A moment later
Kking… Kek. Kek.
[Great Blackie is already slim… huff. Huff.]
“You’re still panting, what do you mean you’re slimmer?”
Kking! Kek. Kking! Kek.
[No! Huff. Great Blackie lost weight! Huff.]
As Sejun chatted with the panting Blackie while heading south
“Puhuhut. Great hybrid Chairman Park, I’ve caught the fire moths, meow!”
Using Light Speed Meow-Step, Theo appeared in front of Sejun, holding one fire moth in each of his front paws for a total of two.
“Oh. Vice Chairman Theo, good work.”
“Puhuhut. Of course, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, am always working hard for Chairman Park, meow!”
Knowing nothing of humility, Theo lifted his chin arrogantly at Sejun’s praise and pushed his head into Sejun’s hand with a smug expression.
“Wait a moment. Let me put the fire moths in first.”
Clank.
Speaking to Theo, Sejun opened the Void Storage.
Clank.
Then he opened the door to the room where Surtr’s Flame Sword was.
And
“Vice Chairman Theo, put them in here.”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
At Sejun’s instruction, Theo released the fire moths he was holding into the room.
“Balchil, go tell to turn the flames up to maximum.”
Mumu!
At the same time, he told Mubalchil to intensify the flames emitted by Surtr’s Flame Sword.
Then, as the fire moths’ flaming wings touched the very tip of the flames, their wings blazed intensely, and sparks burst out.
Fwoooosh.
The sparks grew larger and gave birth to new fire moths.
The two original fire moths quickly multiplied into more than ten thousand by absorbing the flames emitted by Surtr’s Flame Sword.
“Hehehe. It worked.”
As Sejun smiled in delight at the success of the fire moth breeding
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Sejun-nim, I brought back the fire moths!”
Iona appeared, accompanied by an enormous swarm of fire moths caught using wind magic. There seemed to be about a million.
As they were gathered in one place, a few white-flame fire moths that had evolved in the middle could also be seen.
“Iona, put them in here.”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes!”
“Puhuhut. Iona, well done, meow!”
As Theo praised Iona and patted her head on Sejun’s behalf
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot.”
Iona looked very pleased.
A little while later
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehehe. Dad, Cuengi brought back fire moths!]
Cuengi appeared with fire moths caught using telekinesis.
Judging by the presence of a few black-flame fire moths among them, he seemed to have caught an incredible number.
“Cuengi, put them in here too.”
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehehe. Got it!]
Once the void space containing Surtr’s Flame Sword was completely filled with fire moths
[You have achieved the great feat of creation of safely breeding the third calamity of destruction, the fire moths.][As a reward for achieving the great feat of creation, you have acquired <Title: Owner of the Fire Moth Farm>.]
[As a reward for achieving the great feat of creation, the 0th floor stay fee has been reduced by 5%.]
Achievement messages appeared. Thanks to this, Sejun’s stay fee was now 61.3%.
“Owner of the Fire Moth Farm?”
Sejun quickly checked the title.
<Title: Owner of the Fire Moth Farm>→ A title that can only be obtained by one who has safely bred the third calamity of destruction, the fire moths.
→ The taste and texture of moths raised on the moth farm are a bit better.
→ The breeding speed of fire moths is doubled.
→ When fire moths raised on the fire moth farm are defeated, double the experience points are obtained.
“Huh?”
The taste and texture of moths get better?! Even more than now?!
On top of that, breeding speed and experience points were doubled.
If this goes well, I might be able to secure enough black-flame fire moths before the dragons’ meeting.
‘But can’t I make farms with other calamities as well?’
At the same time, greed crept in. If he could make farms for locusts, leeches, spiders, and slimes, he could obtain even tastier ingredients.
“Hehehe. I should catch other calamities and make farms too.”
To do that, he’d need more void spaces…
“Iona, can you create a new void space of that size and link it to my Void Storage?”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. I can make it, but it’ll take a long time alone. It needs a lot of magic power.”
“Ah. Because of magic power? Then what if Vice Chairman Theo helps you?”
“That won’t work either. When casting void space creation magic, if other magic mixes in, the stability drops a lot.”
“Really?”
Sejun wasn’t too disappointed by Iona’s response. Once he returned home, there were plenty of surplus dragons full of magic power who also knew how to use void space creation magic.
“I’ll ask the dragons to make them.”
Hehehe. How could they refuse when I’m the one asking?
Wearing a smug expression, Sejun dealt with the remaining Calamities in <Kavas> and returned to the Black Tower.
And then
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Sejun-nim, I connected them all!”
Nine new void space rooms were added to Sejun’s Void Storage.
