nBang!

n“Mom! I’m home!”

nBill, one of the interns in the distribution department of Sejun’s farm, roughly opened his home door and shouted.

n“Bill… you’re just now home?”

nBill’s mother, sitting on the sofa, greeted him in a lifeless voice.

n“Mom! Why have you become so thin?”

nBill was shocked to see his mother looking as gaunt as the other people on the street.

n“Here, eat this for now.”

nBill took out the grilled fish that Theo had given him and handed it to his mother.

n“Bill, what is this? You didn’t steal it from somewhere, did you?”

nDespite not being able to take her eyes off the grilled fish, Bill’s mother first asked whether her son had stolen it from somewhere.

n“No, Mom! I got a job. Representative Theo, gave me the grilled fish. You can eat it.”

n“Really?”

n“Yes.

nWhen her son, who had been rotting inside following Oren around every day, told her he had found a job, Bill’s mother was moved.

n“Mom, I just stopped by. I’m going back.”

nBill felt a sense of pride at his mother’s happiness and returned to Theo with a light step.

nAnd then

n“Oh my. Dagon’s mother, our Bill got a job and brought grilled fish···”

nBill’s mother, having regained her energy after eating the grilled fish, began to brag about Bill’s employment to the other neighborhood mothers.

nAnd because of that, rumors spread that you could get grilled fish if you worked under Representative Theo, and cats wanting to work under Theo began to appear.

n***

n‘The Black Wolf Tribe’s chief, Hegel, was here…’

nSeeing a 5m tall black wolf with three long claw marks on his left face coming out with Oren, Elka realized that he had been too off guard.

n‘If it weren’t for Chairman Iona, we could have been in big trouble.’

nHowever, just as he failed to predict the enemy’s power, the enemy also failed to accurately grasp their power. It was clear from Hegel’s hardened face whether he recognized Iona.

nThen

n“Representative Theo…”

nWhile pretending to approach Theo, Oren tried to snatch Iona, who was sitting on Elka’s head. Elka quickly tried to subdue Oren as she had been waiting for this situation, but

n‘Don’t stop him.’

nA command from an angry Iona came through.

n‘So that rumor was true.’

nIona hated being underestimated because she was small. She felt that Oren targeted her because she was the smallest among their group.

nBeing ignorant can be brave, and Oren had provoked the fiercest beast he should never have provoked. She was the worst and strongest hostage.

nAs Oren threatened her by pointing his claws at Iona’s neck,

n“Oren, what are you doing, meow?! Put Iona down right now, meow!”

n“Representative Theo, it’s okay.”

n“Meow?”

n“Just watch from here.”

nAs Theo tried to stop Oren, Elka quickly carried him on his back and retreated.

nAnd then,

n“Kyoo-Hegel, what is this? Surely a freelance mercenary isn’t trying to kill their client?”

nIona, ignoring Oren’s claw, calmly asked Hegel. She made a very cute sound, “Kyoo-“, but Hegel froze upon hearing it.

n‘Damn it! Lady Iona has unleashed her wrathful “Kyoo-“!’

n“La…Lady Iona, you’re misunderstanding! How could I…You! Let Lady Iona go immediately!”

nHegel, brought back to his senses by Iona’s words, responded and started shouting at Oren. Currently, Iona was in the first stage of her furious ‘Kyoo-‘, he had to calm her down at all costs.

nIf she got more angry and made the “Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo-” sound three times, they would know why she was known as the destructive wizard. Of course, Hegel didn’t want to see that at all.

nThose who had worked with Iona knew very well. “Kyoo-” was a gauge to measure Iona’s anger.

nLevel one of wrathful “Kyoo-“, when Iona makes the “Kyoo-” sound, at least one building is destroyed.

nLevel two of wrathful “Kyoo-“, when Iona makes the “Kyoo-Kyoo-” sound, at least a small village is destroyed.

nLevel three of wrathful “Kyoo-“, when Iona makes the “Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo-” sound, at least one city is destroyed.

nAnd it was said that there was a final stage of wrathful “Kyoo-“, but no one who had heard it had survived, so no one knew what it sounded like.

n“……”

nDespite Hegel’s shouting, Oren didn’t move. No, he couldn’t move. He was already under Iona’s paralysis spell.

n“Mr. Hegel, before we talk about right and wrong, shall we first hear about the result of the mission?”

n“About that… Lady Iona, I apologize. We failed.”

nThe reason Hegel came here was to subjugate the eggs of the Prog Queen, who lays eggs once a year. If the progs started to hatch, the aquatic life around them would suffer almost extinction-level damage, hence the annual subjugation.

nThe Prog Queen goes to sleep after laying eggs, so it was a relatively easy mission to go into the underwater cave at the bottom of the Zenka Lake and deal with the eggs.

nHowever, when Hegel and his wolves opened the massive rock blocking the cave entrance,

nRibbit. Ribbit.

nFive thousand hungry progs leaped out from the cave. For some reason, the progs had hatched from their eggs earlier than expected.

nLuckily, about half of them were killed on the spot, but the remaining 2,500 progs evaded the wolves and escaped into the Zenka Lake.

nSince then, the progs had grown by catching and eating fish in Zenka Lake, while the Black Wolf Tribe had been trying to hunt them while preventing them from hunting.

nHowever, the swimming skills of the wolves, who are not familiar with the water, couldn’t match the speed of the progs moving in the water, so they were practically making no progress.

nIn this situation where the mission was not going well, Hegel found himself in a real bind as he ended up on the side threatening Iona’s life, whether he intended it or not.

nEven if Iona used this as an excuse to kill all of the Black Wolf Tribe, they couldn’t complain.

n“What the… she’s a client?”

nIzrael was taken aback by the fact that the hamster Oren had captured was Hegel’s client.

nHegel had said he came here on the request of the Wizards’ Association Chairman.

n‘So that tiny hamster is the chairman of the Wizards’ Association?!’

nCome to think of it, I had heard rumors that the chairman of the Wizards’ Association was a hamster.

n‘Oren, This damned guy!’

nThud!

n“Lady Iona, I apologize! I’ll do anything, so please spare my son and me!”

nIzrael knelt down, touched his forehead to the ground, and cried out. His instincts were telling him that this was a dire situation where he could die if he made any more fuss.

n“Kyoo-! It’s too late now!”

nRumble.

nIona pulled out the Staff of Disaster, intending to blow away Izrael and Oren along with their house.

nThen,

n“Iona, wait a second, meow!”

nTheo stopped Iona.

n“Kyoo-Kyoo- What?!”

nIona’s anger level rose due to Theo’s interruption.

nBut,

n“You can’t destroy this place, meow! President Park ordered something, meow!”

nRegardless of Iona’s anger, Theo had to carry out Sejun’s instructions to get three items from Oren’s house.

n“Sejun? Okay. What should I do?”

nUpon hearing Sejun’s order, Iona quickly canceled her magic and started helping Theo.

n***

n‘What is he doing?!’

nHegel was shocked to see the cat stopping Iona. It only provoked Iona’s anger.

nAnd then,

n‘Oh my God, it’s the Level two of wrathful Kyoo-!’

nJust as Hegel feared, Iona’s rage gauge had risen. Hegel was in despair as Iona made the ‘Kyoo-Kyoo-‘ sound. Now at least a small village would be destroyed.

nAnd that probably includes our Black Wolf tribe…

nJust when Hegel was almost certain he was going to die,

n“Huh?!”

nIona easily calmed her anger at the words of the cat named Theo.

n‘What’s with that cat?’

nHow could it so easily quell the anger of Iona, the great destructive wizard?

nQuietly,

n“Who’s that cat Theo?”

nHegel approached Elka and asked.

n“Representative Theo is a direct subordinate of the great Black Dragon.”

n“What?! A direct subordinate of the great Black Dragon?!”

nThud!

n“Representative Theo! I’m Hegel of the Black Wolf Tribe! Please accept me as your subordinate!”

nAs soon as he heard Elka’s words, Hegel prostrated himself in front of Theo. The Black Wolf Tribe had been worshipping the great Black Dragon, which had the same color as them, since long ago.

nBecoming a subordinate of a direct subordinate of such a great Black Dragon was the greatest honor for the Black Wolf Tribe.

n“Okay, meow! Then, stamp here, meow!”

nTheo, who never rejects subordinates and firmly holds on to those leaving, handed over a contract.

n“Yes!”

nPress.

nHegel stamped the contract with his paw.

nThanks to Oren’s scheme, Theo was able to take Hegel, the leader of the Black Wolf Tribe, and the entire Black Wolf Tribe as his subordinates.

n***

n-“Be sure to mention the green alarm, it’s really important.”

n“Yes. Aileen, Anton says the green alarm is very important. Got it?”

nThe Tower’s Administrator says it understands.

nThe Tower’s Administrator is asking what a green alarm is.

n“Aileen is asking what a green alarm is.”

n-The green alarm is the alert that appears in the tower when a monster at risk of extinction appears.

n“Yes, Aileen…”

nSejun was relaying messages between Anton and Aileen, receiving training as a tower administrator together.

nAfter about an hour of administrator training, Sejun came down to the cave for tomato harvesting.

nMaster! I can use the flame again!

nSeeing Sejun descend into the cave, Flamie waved its green leaves and cheerfully exclaimed.

n“Really? Then use the Flame of Purification here.”

nSejun took out a blue bead from his pocket. It was a corrupted Ent’s enhanced seed.

nYes! Eyaap!

nWith Flamie’s cheer, one of Flamie’s leaves turned white, and a white flame seeped into the corrupted Ent’s enhanced seed.

n“Oh!”

nFortunately, the effect was as Sejun anticipated. The name of the seed changed.

nCorrupted Ent’s Enhanced Seed (Purification Rate 1%)

n“Flamie, good job.”

nHehehehe!

nFlames blushed at Sejun’s praise, pretending to scratch its head with its leaves.

nwhoosh

nSejun put the corrupted Ent’s enhanced seed back in his pocket.

nAs he approached the tomato field

nThe Tower’s Administrator says a green alarm has appeared.

nAileen sent Sejun a message that a green alarm had appeared.

nAnd then,

nThe Tower’s Administrator appoints you as the Tower’s Mid-level Administrator to prevent the extinction of the Blue Carp in the Zenka Lake on the 75th floor of the Tower. 𝘳𝑎.𝗇t

nAileen began handling the green alarm as she had learned from her father.

nYou have obtained the mark of the Tower’s Mid-level Administrator.

nA black dragon tattoo appeared on Sejun’s hand.

nYou will be moved to Zenka Lake on the 75th floor of the Tower in 30 seconds.

nYou can bring your subordinates with you.

nPlease designate who to bring.

nSejun chose all of his subordinates, including Mpther Crimson Giant Bear, Cuengi, Black Rabbit, and the other Black Minotaurs. As he was uncertain about where he was going, he intended to bring as many as possible for safety.

nHowever,

nThe Tower’s Administrator’s mana is insufficient.

nSubordinates will be automatically selected within the limit of the Tower’s Administrator’s mana.

nSqueak!

nKruong!

nOn the left shoulder of the Black Rabbit and Cuengi, the numbers 1 and 2 appeared. It was a relief that at least two were there.

nShortly after,

nYou will be moved to Zenka Lake on the 75th floor of the Tower.

nYour activities cannot exceed the boundaries of Zenka Lake.

nSejun, Black Rabbit, and Cuengi disappeared.

nOn the 246th day of being stranded. For the first time since Sejun had been stranded, he left the 99th floor of the tower.
