Seed Shop Headquarters.
“King of Farming, hurry up. Park Sejun is waiting for my Divine Relic.”
Hehe. You need to hurry so that I can get my Monument as well.
Leah urged the King of Farming, unaware that Podori harboring resentment towards the King of Farming was on the 99th floor of the tower.
And
-Oh, God. I’m doing my best too. Don’t rush me.
The King of Farming was slightly irritated by Leah’s urging.
“Ahem. I see. Then take your time.”
Leah, the God of Abundance, quickly tried to appease the King of Farming.Hmph! Later, I’ll tell Park Sejun that the King of Farming dawdled, delaying the delivery of the Divine Relic.
Thinking inwardly about telling Sejun later.
Leah, who inadvertently annoyed the King of Farming while urging him.
“I should go pay my debt.”
Went back to find Hel again.
But
“Shark! I told you to run away no matter what when you see a yellow cat!”
Hel was screaming again today.
“What’s wrong with her lately?”
Did I make a mistake by advising her to invest in Park Sejun?
Hel seemed to be getting worse ever since she invested in Sejun.
While Leah was worrying about Hel
[Theo Park, the Legendary Merchant of the Black Tower has discovered that the [Green Tower’s Slave Seal], a legendary merchant item belonging to Shark, has been corrupted by the power of destruction.]
A message appeared in front of Hel.
“What?! The Legendary Merchant item of Shark has been corrupted by the power of destruction?”
Legendary Merchant items are bound to their owners.
Then does this mean Shark has betrayed us?!
Hel was greatly shocked by the message.
“To think that a traitor who sided with destruction would appear among the legendary merchants…”
To avoid my gaze, only the Legendary Merchant item was corrupted.
This was a very serious situation. There could be more traitors among the Legendary Merchants who sided with destruction.
If she had found out too late and the traitors supporting destruction impeached her and became the God of Merchants?
The Seed Shop Headquarters and the Combat Shop Headquarters would all be contaminated by the power of destruction.
But
“Hehe. Shark, you messed with the wrong person today.”
Theo will immediately make Shark his slave, right?
For today, it was extremely fortunate that Shark met Theo.
And
[The legendary merchant Theo Park of the Black Tower is making the legendary merchant Shark of the Green Tower his slave.]
Just as Hel had predicted, Theo made Shark his slave.
“Whew. That’s a relief.”
Thanks to Theo, Hel cleanly dealt with the traitor.
“Thank you, Theo Park, for making Shark a slave.”
Hel thanked Theo with a sigh of relief.
[Theo Park, the Legendary Merchant of the Black Tower, demands that if you’re grateful, show it with a reward, not just words.]
Theo boldly demanded a reward.
“Sure. As expected of a Legendary Merchant, your calculations are clear. Okay. I’ll give you this.”
Normally, Hel would only give a reward after being threatened, but today, she was so grateful that she happily gave the reward with a smile.
As Hel sent the reward to Theo
“Hel, I’m here.”
Leah, who had been watching from outside, entered the building when she saw Hel’s condition improving.
“Leah? Come in. Should I lend you some Divine Power?”
“No, I’m here to repay some Divine Power today!”
“Really?! You must be earning a lot these days? Well, thanks to Park Sejun, I’ve also accumulated quite a bit of Divine Power lately.”
“See? I told you investing in Park Sejun was the right decision, didn’t I?”
“Yes! I guess I was right to listen to you.”
At first, there were some regrets because of Theo, but thanks to Theo, he caught the traitor and things turned out well in the end.
“Here, 10 Divine Power.”
“Okay. Now you only need to repay 91,281,000 more Divine Power.”
Although there was still an enormous amount of divine power to repay
“Got it! I’ll repay more soon!”
Leah responded energetically.
Until recently, she had been struggling to pay even the 0.001% interest.
Now that Leah could repay the principal, she was very happy.
“Then, I’ll be off.”
“Okay. Take care.”
Shortly after Leah left the building.
Knock. Knock.
“Hello, Hel~nim.”
“Pearl, welcome. Are you here to repay Divine Power too?”
“Yes! Here is 0.2 Divine Power!”
104.28.193.250
Pearl, the God of Pearls, also came to repay Divine Power.
Knock. Knock.
Following that, other non-combat gods visited Hel to repay their Divine Power, making Hel busy for the first time in a while.
“This is nice.”
Although Hel had received less than 1% of the Divine Power lent to the non-combat gods, she smiled contentedly.
Seeing the non-combat gods, who had struggled without Divine Power, now more comfortable, put her mind at ease.
“Park Sejun is really amazing. No! It’s all thanks to Theo Park, the Legendary Merchant!”
Birds of a feather flock together, Hel defended Theo, a fellow legendary merchant.
At that moment,
[Theo Park, the Legendary Merchant of the Black Tower, is trying to bind the Legendary Merchant item [Five Towers’ Slave Seal] belonging to Shark of the Green Tower.]
[Do you allow it?]
Theo tried to bind Shark’s legendary merchant item, whose name had changed.
***
93rd floor of the Green Tower.
“Green Tower’s Slave Seal?”
Sejun examined the seal Theo handed him.
[Green Tower’s Slave Seal]
? A seal created during the Legendary Merchant promotion test of the Green Tower.
? Materials used: Babel’s Codex, Shackles of Confinement, 1000-year-old tree roots, Advance Magic Stone, 1000 Slave Contracts.
? The slave seal was enhanced using the Babel’s Codex, Shackles of Confinement, and 1000-year-old tree roots as materials.
? Corrupted by the power of destruction. When stamped on the body of an opponent belonging to the Green Tower, it imposes a debt of 100 billion Tower Coins. Failure to repay will result in eternal slavery. (Can only be used once per target.)
? Bound to the Legendary Merchant Shark.
? Usage restriction: Legendary Merchant, Magic Power 5000+, Affiliated with Destruction.
? Creator: Hel, God of Merchants.
? Grade: ?
While Sejun examined the item,
“You bastards! Give me back my item!”
Shark, having his Legendary Merchant item taken, rushed at Sejun, but
Kueng! Kueng!
[Daddy is focusing right now! Don’t disturb him!]
Bang!
Crackle.
“Aaaaargh!”
Struck by Cuengi’s thunderbolt staff, Shark fainted.
A moment later,
“Wow, this guy is really bad.”
Sejun spoke after examining Shark’s Legendary Merchant item.
To impose a debt of 100 billion tower coins just by stamping on the opponent’s body without a contract, and to make them an eternal slave if they can’t pay…
“At least we let them go if they pay the debt, but eternally…”
Even Sejun, who worked in the same industry, clicked his tongue at the cruelty.
“Vice Chairman Theo, this item is corrupted by the power of destruction.”
“Meow?! Then that guy is a bad person, meow?!”
Theo grinned and pointed at the fainted Shark.
“Yes.”
“Puhuhut. Then can I make him a slave, meow?!”
“Hehehe. Of course.”
The reason Sejun and Theo personally came to the 93rd floor of the Green Tower was to create many slaves.
And luckily, they met the master of the slaves right away.
By enslaving the master who owned a large number of slaves, they could gain many slaves with little effort.
“Go! Vice Chairman Theo!”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
Responding energetically to Sejun’s shout, Theo ran to the fainted Shark and removed his hood.
Then,
Press.
He pressed the hand stamp of Shark, who had a shark’s head on a human body.
[You have hunted 1 slave.]
[Confirmed 51,231 slaves owned by the slave.]
[Due to the effect of <Title: Slave Hunter>, all stats increase by the maximum value of 10,000.]
Thanks to this, Theo’s stats increased significantly.
“Meow… Chairman Park, I hunted over 50,000 slaves, ut all my stats only increased by 10,000, meow…”
Theo sulked.
Over 50,000 slaves?! Then I…
“Hehehe.”
Sejun anticipated the messages that would appear in front of him.
But
[You have acquired 1 slave.]
[All stats increase by 0.01 due to the effect of <Title: Slave King>.]
“What?!”
Unlike Theo, Sejun’s stats only increased based on the slaves captured by Theo.
Damn you, system!
Once again, Sejun was furious at the system that seemed to be against him.
While Sejun was fuming,
[You can purify and enhance the corrupted [Green Tower’s Slave Seal] using Fenrir’s power in your body.]
[Do you wish to use Fenrir’s power?]
Another message appeared in front of Sejun.
“Fenrir’s power can purify the power of destruction?”
Isn’t Fenrir an Apostle of Destruction?
It didn’t make sense that the power possessed by an Apostle of Destruction would purify the power of destruction.
“But the system doesn’t lie…”
It may be unfair, but it doesn’t lie.
“I’ll use it.”
[Using 0.005% of Fenrir’s power to purify and enhance the corrupted [Green Tower’s Slave Seal].]
As Sejun spoke, a dark blue energy flowed from his body into the seal.
And then,
[Five Towers’ Slave Seal]
It was upgraded to a seal that could make residents of not only the Green Tower, but also the Black Tower, White Tower, Golden Tower, and Brown Tower into slaves.
Instead, as the power of destruction was purified, the debt created when stamped was reduced to 50 billion tower coins, and
The option changed so that one could be freed from slavery if they repaid the debt.
Sejun, having enhanced the Legendary Merchant item,
“Vice Chairman Theo, use this.”
Imagining Theo enslaving people with this seal made his heart swell with pride, making him momentarily forget it was a bound item.
“Puhuhut. Thank you, meow! Chairman Park, use this in return, meow!”
As Theo received the seal, he handed Sejun a pearl he had received from Hel as a reward.
“Heart of Courage?”
I’ll check it later, for now, we should go back.
As the work concluded, Sejun hurried to return to where the rest of the group was. Somehow, he had a bad feeling.
“Cuengi, let’s go back.”
Kueng!
[Got it!]
As Sejun and Theo rode Cuengi back to their group,
[Hel, God of Merchants, does not allow the use of bound items belonging to other legendary merchants.]
Hel’s message appeared in front of Theo, who was clinging to Sejun’s knee.
“Meow?!”
Chairman Park gave it to me, meow! I’m going to use it, meow!
[The God of Merchants Hel explains that if legendary merchant items are concentrated on one person, it will cause problems with the economic balance of the Nine Towers…]
Hel tried to persuade by explaining the economic logic, but
‘Haak! Hel-nim, if you refuse, it’s impeachment, meow!’
[Theo Park, the Legendary Merchant of the Black Tower, initiates an impeachment vote against the God of Merchants, Hel.]
···
··
·
Theo, you rascal!
[Hel, God of Merchants, permits the binding of the [Five Towers’ Slave Seal] to Theo Park, the Legendary Merchant of the Black Tower.]
Hel had no choice but to concede due to Theo’s impeachment threat.
At the moment when the Slave Hunter Theo acquired the excellent [Five Towers’ Slave Seal],
Kihehe. Kking!
[Hehe. We won!]
“Congratulations, Great Blackie!”
Kiki!
Kiki!
Blackie and his subordinates, who had only been chasing the enemy but ended up occupying their main base thanks to the efforts of Black Rabbit and Paespaes, celebrated their victory.
Meanwhile,
[Abyss of Destruction]
During this time, Black Rabbit and Paespaes discovered the location from which the fifth calamity, the Giant Poisonous Snail, were coming from in the enemy’s main base.
A red hole with a diameter of 100m and a bottom that couldn’t be seen, like an abyss. Just looking at it was creepy and gave goosebumps.
Ppyak?
[What is this?]
(Pip-pip. This feels ominous.)
Black Rabbit and Paespaes hesitated, unable to approach the Abyss of Destruction.
Hap. Hap.
The Destruction Devourers approached the Abyss of Destruction and diligently absorbed the energy of destruction, and
Burp.
Burp.
They exhaled the energy of creation, gradually shrinking the Abyss of Destruction.
Thanks to this, everyone was able to feel at ease.
-Who dares to interfere with my work?
An eerie voice that froze everyone came from beyond the Abyss of Destruction.
And then,
Thump. Thump.
A giant spider crawled up the Abyss of Destruction as comfortably as if walking on flat ground.
The main body of Alice, the Mesmerizing Spider, the 9th seat of the Apostles of Destruction, appeared on the 93rd floor of the Green Tower with half of its power.
