Part 2 Chapter 137: Great Blackie's Saliva Is Medicinal, Though... / 861

TL: Hanguk

Kkuik-!

Uren fled, screaming.

Thud.

Crack-crackle.

Thud.

Crack-crackle.

Behind him, a massive golem chased after him, radiating blinding white lightning with every step, as if it would incinerate everything in its path.

[Thunder Spirit Stone Golem]

It was a golem made of Thunder Spirit Stone.

"Kyoot kyoot kyoot. I've never seen a Thunder Spirit Stone that big!"

Iona's eyes sparkled as she gazed at the Thunder Spirit Stone Golem.

Judging by the words [Legendary Merchant Uren Was Here] scrawled in large letters across the golem's back, it seemed furious that Uren had graffitied its body.

And then,

Piyo!

[Uren-nim, I told you not to touch random things!]

"Mohehehehe. Uren-nim, please let me lick you just once!"

Kkaong!

Nyongnyong!

Ppokppok!

Jakjak.

Behind the Thunder Spirit Stone Golem, Piyot, Poyo, and the Four Beasts were chasing after it with everything they had.

Like it or not, Uren was part of their group. They couldn't just leave him to die.

While Uren, the Thunder Spirit Stone Golem, and Piyot's party were all chasing one another in circles,

"Kyoot kyoot kyoot. O power of ice... Great Glacier."

Iona cast her great ice magic.

Crack-crack-crackle.

The Thunder Spirit Stone Golem was trapped in a prison of extreme cold.

[Guard Iona has slain the Thunder Spirit Stone Golem.]

[You have obtained 150,000,000 experience points, which is 50% of the experience earned by Guardian Iona.]

With the situation resolved,

"Puhuhut. Uren, hand that over to me, Vice Chairman Theo, meow!"

Theo approached Uren and pointed at the [Automatic Cart Wandering Between the Black Tower and Golden Tower] with his front paw.

"Huh? But I already gave that to you, Theo-nim."

"Puhuhut. That's why I'm telling you to give it to me again, meow!"

"Okay. Here you go."

"Puhuhut. Eok-Samchiri, is it done, meow?!"

[Yes. Ownership has now been fully transferred to you, Theo-nim.]

"Puhuhut. Nice, meow!"

He had finally secured full ownership of the automatic cart.

"Uhehehehe. By the way, were you in the middle of a meal? Something smells delicious...?"

"Yeah. Let's eat together. Uren, it's Golden Slime Duruchigi, your favorite."

"Uhehehehe. Really?! Thank you for the food!"

Sejun offered a meal to Uren, who was already drooling.

"You guys eat too."

He extended the invitation to Piyot, Poyo, and the Four Beasts as well.

A short while later.

While everyone was eating,

Kkaong!

[Now's my chance!]

"Puhuhut. Not a chance, meow!"

Baektang, the white leopard who never knew when to quit, made another attempt at Sejun's lap today but was caught by Theo.

"Youngest, give this one a good talking-to, meow!"

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Big bro! Leave it to Great Blackie!]

Blackie subjected Baektang to a thorough training, but then,

[A quest has been issued.]

[Quest: Please proceed to the level 8 world <Kien> and close the Dimensional Rift that has formed at a point where Causality has been twisted. If the Dimensional Rift is left unattended, a Dimensional War may erupt between the level 8 world <Dibas> at a later time.]

Reward: 53 minutes credited to <Unique Power: Temporary Creator God>.

A proxy Creator God quest appeared for Sejun at just the right moment.

"Everyone, a quest just dropped! Blackie, get up."

Kking?

[There was still more to go, but I guess this is enough?]

Baektang's mental training was cut short.

Kkaong...

[I can't give up...]

Baektang still couldn't bring herself to give up on Sejun's lap.

Meanwhile,

"Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Splendid. The condition is excellent."

Iona, wearing a blissful expression, stowed the entire body of the Thunder Spirit Stone Golem into her Void Storage for use in magic experiments.

A moment later.

[You have arrived at the level 8 world <Kien>.]

"First, let's find the rift."

"Puhuhut. Got it, meow!"

Sejun and his companions,

Piyo!

[We'll search over that way!]

"Uhehehehe. Leave it to us!"

along with Piyot's party, who had joined to earn their keep after the meal, arrived at <Kien>.

Upon arrival, they began searching for the Dimensional Rift.

"Uhehehehe. Sejun-nim, over here! I found it!"

Uren was the first to find the Dimensional Rift.

It had been a while since Uren actually did something useful, and he was beaming with pride, but

What? Why is this so unsettling?

That's a bad omen, meow!

Kyoot- it hasn't been long since Uren-nim's last bout of bad luck, so it should be fine. Probably...

The expressions on Sejun and the rest of the group were not good.

"Let's close the rift for now. Iona, if you would."

"Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Of course. O power of dimensions...."

Sejun closed the rift with Iona's help.

While they were closing it, he was on edge, worried that something might go wrong, but

"Kyoot kyoot kyoot. The rift is closed."

Fortunately, nothing happened.

And then,

[You have closed the Dimensional Rift that formed at a point where Causality was twisted in the level 8 world <Kien>.]

...

..

.

[As a quest completion reward, 53 minutes have been credited to <Unique Power: Temporary Creator God>.]

The quest completion message appeared as well. Perhaps because they had prevented a war and saved two level 8 worlds, the reward was larger than usual.

With the quest finished,

"Phew. Thank goodness."

"Puhuhut. No kidding, meow! I thought something was going to blow up, meow!"

"Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Same here."

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. What a relief!]

Kihihit. Kking. Kking!

[Hehe. Too bad. If something had happened, Great Blackie would've gotten to shine!]

"Park Blackie, watch your mouth."

Kking.

[Fine.]

"Hehe. Daddy, Taecho is sleepy."

"Okay. Climb on Daddy's back."

Piyihihi. Piyo!

[Hehehe. Even Uren-nim gets lucky sometimes!]

Just as the group was breathing sighs of relief and preparing to head home,

"Mohehehehe. That's strange. There's a rich, sweet smell I've never encountered before."

"What?!"

Poyo jinxed it.

At that moment,

[A quest has been issued.]

[Quest: Please proceed to the level 5 world <Mahohen> and close the Dimensional Rift that has formed at a point where Causality has been twisted. If the Dimensional Rift is left unattended, the First Dimensional War shall...]

[A quest has been issued.]

[Quest: Please proceed to the level 3 world <Nion> and close the Dimensional Rift that has formed at a point where Causality has been twis...]

[A quest has been issued.]

[A quest has been issued.]

...

..

.

An avalanche of messages appeared before Sejun.

The moment Uren's bad luck came into contact with the twisted Causality, it created a massive distortion, and rifts tore open across thousands of dimensions.

"Eok-Samchiri, call the Creator God, quick!"

Sejun tried to summon the Creator God as quests flooded in, but

Puhuhut. This is the perfect chance to move up Chairman Park's wedding, meow!

"Eok-Samchiri, hold on a moment, meow! I think Chairman Park and the rest of us can handle all these quests, meow?!"

Theo stopped him from calling the Creator God. If they called the Creator God, they wouldn't be able to receive the quest rewards.

[Oh. Just a moment...]

System Eok-Samchiri ran rapid calculations in response to Theo's question.

[If you hurry, it should be possible!]

"Great! Then tell us where we need to go first!"

Nice one, Vice Chairman Theo!

Meanwhile, Sejun, having read Theo's intentions, gave Theo a thumbs-up and spoke to Eok-Samchiri.

Puhuhut. I know too, meow!

Theo sent a toe-heart back to Sejun.

[Yes! Understood! The most urgent location is the level 3 world <Siran>!]

"Got it! Everyone, let's go!"

Sejun and his companions hurried off to another dimension.

"...Did I cause all this?"

Piyo!

[You sure did! And it's a catastrophe of epic proportions!]

"Mohehehehe. Sweet."

Kkaong!

Nyongnyong!

Ppokppok!

Jakjak.

Left behind, Piyot's party berated Uren as they headed back to the Great Golden Tower.

***

[You have arrived at the level 3 world <Siran>.]

"There it is!"

The moment they crossed through the dimensional gate, Sejun spotted the rift.

Kueng! Kueng!

[Cuengi will close it! Hup!]

Crack-crack-crunch.

Thud.

Cuengi grabbed the rift and forced it shut with sheer strength.

And then,

[You have closed the Dimensional Rift that formed at a point where Causality was twisted in the level 3 world <Siran>.]

...

..

.

Before they could even check the quest completion message,

[Sejun-nim, you must proceed to the level 6 world <Milkes> and close the rift within 3 minutes and 20 seconds.]

"Got it! Paespaes!"

(Pip-pip! Okay!)

They immediately moved on to the next quest.

As Sejun and his companions raced from world to world, closing roughly 300 rifts,

[Sejun-nim, within 30 seconds, the next...]

Having failed to locate a few rifts quickly enough along the way, they had burned through most of their buffer time. Now they truly couldn't afford to stop for even a breath.

Just then,

[Huh?!]

System Eok-Samchiri suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

"Eok-Samchiri, what is it? We don't have time!"

[The next destination, the level 1 world <Nomira>, has evolved into a level 2 world, and the rift has vanished. You now have 3 minutes and 20 seconds of breathing room.]

"Really? Phew. Everyone, let's rest for just 1 minute and 30 seconds before we move."

"Kyoot... kyoot... kyoot... okay...."

(Pip... pip... okay...)

At Sejun's words, Iona and Paespaes, who had been taking turns handling the dimensional travel, took a rest.

"Puhuhut. Iona, just sit back and have some Roasted Peanuts, meow!"

"Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Okay."

Theo gently massaged Iona's body with his front toes.

Kueng!

[Paespaes, hang in there!]

(Pip-pip. Okay.)

Paespaes received a massage from Cuengi.

Kihihit. Kking! Kking!

[Hehe. Sis-in-law! Paespaes bro! Great Blackie will heal you!]

Blackie volunteered to treat them both, but

"Ack! Don't put your spit on Iona, meow!"

(Pip-pip. Thanks, Blackie, but I'm good. It's hard to fly with wet wings.)

He was rejected on both fronts.

Kking...

[Great Blackie's saliva is medicinal, though...]

"Here."

Sejun held out his hand to the dejected Blackie.

Lick. Lick. Lick.

Kihihit. Kking?! Kking?!

[Hehe. Butler! How is it?! Are you feeling better?!]

"Yeah."

Sejun's hand was thoroughly drenched in Blackie's saliva.

A moment later.

[Sejun-nim, the next destination is the level 4 world <Gorian>. There are 1 minute and 47 seconds remaining until the outbreak of the First Dimensional War.]

"Alright. Let's move!"

"Puhuhut. Roger that, meow!"

After their brief rest, Sejun and his companions moved on to the next destination.

***

Sea of Dimensions.

[Hehe. Nice! Podori, you did so well just now!]

[Fufufu. Thank you.]

Flamie praised Podori, who had just elevated a level 1 world to a level 2 world.

[Thanks to you, Sejun-nim got to rest for a bit.]

The level 1 world Podori had leveled up was none other than <Nomira>.

[Eok-Samchiri, where should we go next? I think around the 300th one would be good again...]

[There is a level 1 world at number 330. That should be a suitable target.]

[Understood. Let's go, Podori.]

[Yes!]

Podori followed Flamie's orders without a word of complaint.

If he talked back now, he wouldn't survive it.

He knew. Now was the time to keep his mouth shut.

Thanks to Flamie and Podori's assistance, Sejun and his companions earned a window to rest roughly every 300 rifts they closed.

However, the world did not move according to their plans alone.

[Sejun-nim, the level 9 world <Sirion> is invading the level 1 world <Mekin> through a rift.]

[Sejun-nim, the level 7 world <Jisran> is invading the level 3 world <Nerin> through a rift.]

[Sejun-nim...]

Causality was not fixed in place. While they were on the move, Causality shifted as well, and the timelines System Eok-Samchiri had calculated began to go awry.

And so,

"There's no other choice. Eok-Samchiri, ask the Dragon Leaders to send the great dragons to the places where war has broken out!"

[Yes!]

Sejun dispatched the Great Nine Dragon Tribes to the dimensions where Dimensional Wars had erupted.

Will they be okay?

Having sent the great dragons off, Sejun felt a twinge of unease.

But

[Sejun-nim, the next destination is the level 8 world <Mata>. There are 1 minute and 40 seconds remaining until the outbreak of the First Dimensional War.]

There was no time to worry about such things.

"Got it. Let's go, everyone!"

Sejun hurried onward to the next world.

***

Great Black Tower, Floor 99.

-Gahahaha. Our Sejun asked the Great Black Dragon Tribe for help.

-What are you talking about?! He asked our Great White Dragon Tribe for help!

-No! It was the Great Golden Dragon Tribe!

While the Leaders argued over which of them had been asked for help, each insisting that their tribe would be the one to resolve things,

-Pahahaha. Everyone, stop fighting. The Great Red Dragon Tribe is already out there handling it.

What mattered was speed.

Ramter, the leader of the Great Red Dragon Tribe, spoke in a smug voice.

-What?!

-You underhanded scoundrel, Ramter! Everyone, assemble!

-This is an emergency! All Great Green Dragons, gather!

The other Leaders scrambled to send their great dragons to the locations where Sejun had requested aid.

And so, to prevent the First Full Scale Dimensional War, the Great Nine Dragon Tribes descended upon the battlefields.
