Chapter 35: Welcome to the Kindergarten of Destruction! (35) / 759 |
TL: Hanguk
PR: MiniPixelZ
In the past, the Demon God Kali invaded 10 worlds simultaneously.
Kali’s attempt nearly succeeded as he occupied almost all of the 10 worlds.
However, the 10 worlds did not just sit back and take it.
To oppose the Demon God Kali, the representatives of the 10 worlds formed a death squad by selecting the 100 most elite heroes and strongest warriors from each world.
The death squad advanced step by step, reclaiming Kali’s territories one by one, and eventually confronted the Demon God Kali.
Thus began the battle between the 100-member death squad and the Demon God Kali to protect the 10 worlds.
The battle lasted for 10 days.
“Demon God Kali, our abilities are insufficient to destroy you, so we can only seal you, but someday an existence that will annihilate you will punish you in our place and fulfill our grudge! 100-Person Annihilation Sealing Formation!”
Weakened from the long battle and no longer able to fight, the 100-member death squad burned their remaining lifeforce to seal the Demon God Kali.
And then,
“Bury him deep underground so no one can ever break the seal on Demon God Kali!”
The representatives of the 10 worlds hid Kali in the deepest part of <Nekucha>, the highest-level place, where no one could touch his seal. Waiting for the one who would one day destroy Kali to appear.
***
Demon God Kali’s mental world.
“Kuhuhu. Come forth, pitiful ones who shall fall into despair and sorrow.”
Kali, excited by the thought of his seal being broken along with the screams of his sacrifices, was thrilled.
But then,
Thud. Thud.
“No… You?!”
Why are you here?!
As a massive dark blue wolf appeared, Kali’s complexion turned pale in shock, and his mental world turned just as blue.
Why did he try to dominate the 10 worlds in the first place?
It was to elevate his rank by conquering the 10 worlds so that he could stand a chance against the terrifying beast before him, Fenrir, the First Apostle of Destruction.
No, saying “to win” was just pride talking, his real goal was to slightly increase his chance of survival.
“Hehe. Kali, you were hiding here?”
Blackie smirked mischievously at Kali. As expected from a member of the Sejun Family, he was no different from a villain.
“Fenrir, you’ve finally found me! But I, Demon God Kali, won’t go down so easily!”
Kali shouted in an agitated voice, but in truth, it was a desperate attempt to mask his fear.
Grrrr.
“What are you babbling about!? My name is no longer Fenrir, but great Park Blackie!”
“Park Blackie?”
What the heck? That sounds like the name of a local mutt from a countryside village.
As Kali was flustered by Blackie’s response,
“Let’s leave that one to Blackie and look for treasure.”
“Puhuhut. Sounds good, meow!”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes.”
“Alright!”
“Blackie, handle it well.”
Sejun, Theo, Iona, and Cuengi exited Kali’s mental world.
And then,
“Kali, come here!”
Bang!
Blackie stomped the ground hard and called for Kali.
Great Blackie also wanted to search for treasure!
He wanted to finish Kali’s mental reeducation quickly and go treasure hunting.
“Y-yes….”
At Blackie’s call, Kali timidly approached. If this were the real world, he could have run away, but here in his mental world, there was nowhere to run.
The Blackie Family surrounded such Kali and
“Everyone, let’s finish this quickly and cleanly!”
“““Yes!”””
Wham wham wham!
At Blackie’s command, they gleefully began beating him up.
“Kyaaa! Alright, it’s all my fault~!”
Kali earnestly begged for forgiveness, insisting everything was his fault. Honestly, he didn’t even know what he did wrong, but he begged anyway.
They weren’t even asking questions, if they were, he could answer. But they just kept hitting him, so all he could do was beg.
“Sob sob. I was wrong… Please stop hitting me….”
It may have been different from the death squad’s original wish of Kali’s annihilation, but the Blackie Family certainly fulfilled their grudge.
While the Blackie Family was reeducating Kali,
“Then let’s begin!”
At Sejun’s shout, everyone scattered and began the treasure hunt.
Everyone spread out to search for treasure.
“Hehehe. This one looks promising?”
Sejun, who was wandering alone, picked up a seemingly valuable item. It was a silver candlestick shaped like a trident, with a snake intricately carved into the handle, it looked impressive at a glance.
“Eok-Samchiri, appraise this.”
[Yes. Starting appraisal.][System Eok-Samchiri] began the appraisal at Sejun’s command.
[Appraisal complete.]
As Sejun expected, it turned out to be something of note.
[Silver Candlestick Possessed by an Evil Spirit]→ A sacred candlestick crafted with high-purity silver imbued with the power of purification using advanced holy magic, made with great care by a master craftsman. However, it has been tainted by the Demon God Kali.
→ It contains a lowly evil spirit that has not yet learned how to express itself.
→ When the candle is lit, the flame turns purple due to the evil spirit’s power, giving off a sinister aura.
→ Usage restriction: None
→ Creator: Chuku, blacksmith of <Trin>
→ Grade: F-
An evil spirit…
Though it was said to be a lowly evil spirit, its behavior was just as lowly.
“This better not be the same.”
After that, Sejun continued to fully display his bad luck and picked up one possessed item after another:
[Silver Statue Possessed by an Evil Spirit][Silver Rope Possessed by an Evil Spirit]
[Silver Sword Possessed by an Evil Spirit]
[Silver Spear Possessed by an Evil Spirit]
Only items possessed by evil spirits were drawn to him.
“This place is crawling with evil spirits.”
Sejun refused to admit his own bad luck and instead blamed the environment.
However, to blame the environment…
“Puhuhut! I found something good, meow! The winner of the treasure hunt is me, Vice Chairman Theo, meow! Iona, appraise it, meow!”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes.”
Kuehehehe. Kueng! Kueng!
[Hehehe. Dad, Cuengi thinks he found something better than big brother! Please appraise it!]
The items brought by Theo and Cuengi were all of high quality.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Another item possessed by an evil spirit.”
Iona, like Sejun, also picked out only evil spirit-possessed items.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. I can’t wait to study these items in the lab!”
She was picking them on purpose. Unknown to the others, Iona’s recent research topic was evil spirits. So she gleefully gathered up evil spirit-possessed items.
While Sejun kept finding only items with petty evil spirits using his unfortunate touch,
“Huh?!”
This time, he picked up a proper item.
-Gahahaha. Surrender your body!
An item truly possessed by a powerful evil spirit.
“…….”
Sejun’s consciousness was gradually pushed into his mental world due to the evil spirit.
But,
Get lost.
It wasn’t enough to threaten Sejun. It was still just an evil spirit. There was no way it could defeat Sejun, who had been through all kinds of battles and hardships.
-Kkieeeek!
The evil spirit screamed and vanished as Sejun gripped its neck.
“Hahaha. What a joke.”
Sejun smirked proudly after destroying the evil spirit. While he might seem like a pushover among his group, he believed he could more than pull his weight anywhere else.
“Meow?! Chairman Park’s face is rotting, meow!”
Kueng!
[Dad, you became ugly! This is serious!]
Of course, Sejun’s smug pride triggered Theo and Cuengi’s emergency alert.
“Everyone step on him, meow!”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes.”
Kueng!
The treasure-hunting party rushed at Sejun all at once and stomped on his face.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking?! Kking!
[Hehe. Great Blackie is done! Huh?! Is it time to stomp on butler’s face?! Great Blackie wants to stomp too!]
Blackie, who had just finished Kali’s mental education, rushed over to Sejun’s face as well.
After being stepped on for about 10 minutes by the group, they finally got off Sejun’s face.
Kihihit.
Squish. Squish. Squish.
Of course, the clueless Blackie remained until the end, stomping on Sejun’s face as hard as possible…
“Get off.”
Kking…
Sejun grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and forcibly pulled him off.
And then,
“I’ll give Blackie 10 minutes alone to search for treasure.”
Only Blackie, who joined late, was given extra time.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. This treasure hunt will be great Blackie’s victory!]
Confident of his win, Blackie dashed off excitedly.
Hehehe. You’ll probably only find evil spirit-possessed items like me anyway.
Watching Blackie, Sejun cast a curse. He refused to be the only one with bad luck.
However,
Kihihit. Kking?!
[Hehe. Kali, where’s the treasure?!]
-Over there! I saw the ones who brought me here put the most effort into hiding something in that place!
Blackie was receiving help from Kali, who had been sealed in this place for a long time.
With Kali’s help, Blackie arrived at the place where the treasure was hidden.
Fwoosh.
To retrieve the hidden item, Blackie dug into the ground diligently with his tiny front paws.
“Time’s up. Ten minutes.”
Ten minutes passed just like that.
Fwoosh.
Blackie had spent all his time just digging in one spot.
No! I was almost there!
Kking!
[Butler! Give me more time! Just five more minutes!]
Blackie urgently begged for an extension.
“Alright. I’ll give you ten more minutes.”
Hehehe. Like anything would come out just from digging one spot that hard.
Sejun, mocking Blackie for obsessively digging in one place, gladly extended the time.
Then, three minutes later.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. I found it! Butler, I found it!]
Blackie pulled out a white stone from underground.
Hehe. Now the victory belongs to great Blackie!
With proud steps, he brought it over to Sejun.
“Puhup. After all that hard work, this is what you found? Eok-Samchiri, appraise it.”
As Sejun mocked the stone Blackie had brought and requested an appraisal from [System Eok-Samchiri],
104.28.193.250
I lost, meow!
Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Why is that here…?!
I lost!
The rest of the party, sensing the aura coming from the stone, instantly realized their defeat.
Only Sejun was unaware that he had lost.
And then.
[Appraisal complete.]“What?! Why was something like that buried there?!”
Only after checking the appraised item did Sejun regret giving the extra time.
[Fragment of the Heart of the Great White Dragon]What Blackie had brought was none other than a dragon’s heart.
At that moment.
[Additional hidden information detected.][Appraisal data has been revised.]
[Sejun-nim, please remove your hand from the item! It is dangerous!]
[System Eok-Samchiri] urgently warned.
[Fragment of the Corrupted Heart of the Great White Dragon]The description of the heart had changed.
-Kuukuukuu. How dare a half-baked dragon like you touch the heart of the great white dragon?! You’ll pay for that sin with your life! And I’ll make good use of your body!
A grandiose voice echoed inside Sejun’s head.
“…….”
Sejun lost consciousness.
And then.
-How dare some mutt like you?!
As the invader appeared, the fragment of the Great Black Dragon’s heart, tucked away in Sejun’s mental world, expanded in size, preparing for battle.
But then.
“Gasp! Who dares try to steal our Chairman Park’s body, meow?!”
“Kyoo-kyoo-kyoo-kyoo-”
“Cuengi is mad!”
“Hehe. Butler! Great Blackie is here to save you!”
As the group appeared.
-Oh no! Great Blackie, you’ve arrived!
The corrupted heart urgently shrank in size and rushed over to bow its head before Blackie.
If it puffed up and tried to fight the intruder, Blackie would just beat it up anyway.
A moment later.
[Fragment of the Respectful Heart of the Great White Dragon]The heart fragment’s name changed.
“Now bring it down.”
Kueng!
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes.”
Thud!
At Sejun’s command, Iona and Cuengi covered the floating patch of earth that Chacha had lifted.
Chacha was the name of a child who had joined the group last. Sejun had named the three children Nene, Kuku, and Chacha by taking a syllable each from <Nekucha>.
Thus, the space where the Demon God Kali had been sealed was completely erased. As a quest reward, he earned peace for <Nekucha> and 0.5% evolution experience points.
“What…?”
Only 0.5%?
Are you kidding me?!
Sejun was disappointed by the tiny number.
But.
[The 0.5% evolution experience of a Level 9 world will now be converted to the evolution experience of a Level 4 world.][You have acquired 16% evolution experience for a Level 4 world.]
From Earth’s perspective, it was an enormous amount of experience.
“Hehehe. Guys! Let’s go now!”
In a much better mood, Sejun laughed as he returned with his companions and the Ents to where Taecho and the three children were, then headed back to the Black Tower.
“Ace is gonna love this, right?”
He went up to the 99th floor of the Black Tower to deliver Yongari Chicken to Ace.
And then.
“What?! The Purple Tower arrived on Earth five hours ago?!”
-Yes! Brother-in-law!
While happily eating Yongari Chicken, Ace tattled to Sejun about the conversation the tower leaders had earlier.
