: Guys, Let''s Show the Power of the ckie Family!
<strong>TL: Hanguk</strong>
Kking! Kking!
[Butler! This is Shasha!]
As ckie introduced the blue chick to Sejun,
Ppiyak! Ppiyak! Ppi…
[Greetings! You lowly human. I am the mighty Ice Queen Sasha, the Screaming Banshee and 5th seat of the Apostle of Destruction…]
p, p.
The blue chick struggled to fly, hovering above Sejun, and with a rather arrogant expression, directly introduced itself to him.
Kking![Shasha, bow your head!]
Ppiyak?
[What?]
She had offended ckie.
Kking?! Kking?! Kking!
[What kind ofnguage is that toward my butler?! What are you doing?! Bow your head immediately!]
Ppiyak!
[Yes!]
At ckie’smand, Shasha quickly lowered its head.
Everything is going ording to n.
Karurur silentlyughed as he watched Shasha.
Karurur had intentionally not informed Shasha of Sejun’s rank when bringing it over.
Partly because he wanted Shasha to go through the same thing he did,
If Shasha’s first impression is bad, he’ll give it an even more terrible name than mine, right?
It was a grand scheme to ensure Shasha would receive a worse name from Sejun.
Regrettably, up to this point, there wasn’t a single name Sejun had given that was worse than his own.
Go Sejun-nim! Create your life’s masterpiece!
Karurur brought his two wings together as if in prayer, cheering for Sejun.
Is the exorcism notplete yet?
Sejun cautiously increased the distance between himself and the blue chick bowing its head.
Kking!
[Butler! Give the chick a name!]
ckie requested Sejun to name the chick.
“Should I?”
Sejun’s naming shop opened on the 59th floor of the ck Tower.
Thump! Thump!
Everyone in the ckie Family, except for Shasha, whose head was still lowered, felt their hearts pound with anticipation.
All eyes were on Sejun’s lips, and their ears were as perked up as possible so that they wouldn’t miss his voice no matter what.
“Since it’s Shasha, how about Shashashak? No, I should avoid anything that sounds too much like an Apostle of Destruction. Then… since it’s a blue chick, so maybe Pari. Or since it’s a bird that uses ice, how about Eolsae…”
[TL note: So once again, ‘Shashashak’ is abination of the name ‘Shasha’ (??) and the onomatopoeia ‘shak’ (?), which together create the sound of something being destroyed or shed. The second name, ‘Pari’, is abination of ‘blue’ (??) and ‘chick’ (???), forming ‘Pari’ (??). The third name is abination of ‘ice’ (??) and ‘bird’ (?), resulting in ‘Eolsae’ (??).]
As Sejun went into the naming process, he tested out each name by saying them aloud.
The names weren’t particrly good, but they weren’t particrly bad either.
Something’s missing…
There was nothing that stood out.
Feeling unsatisfied, Sejun went into deeper contemtion.
Since it uses screams and ice… how aboutbining the ‘B’ from ‘scream’ with the character for ice (氷), making it ‘Bingdak’?
[TL note: The name ‘Bingdak’ is abination of ‘?’ from ‘??’ (scream) + ‘?’ (氷, the Chinese character for ice) and ‘?’ (chicken), creating ‘Bingdak’ ??. ]
Or, tobine Eastern and Western… Blue Chick bes ‘Bluari’.
[TL note: The name ‘Bluari’ is abination of ‘Blu’ from ‘Blue’ and ‘?’ from ‘???’ (chick), creating ‘Bluari’ (???).]
Thinking ahead, since a chick grows into a chicken, how about Blue Chicken, ‘Padak’?
[TL note: The name ‘Padak’ is abination of ‘?’ from ?? (blue) and and ‘?’ (chicken), creating ‘Padak’ (??).]
After much deliberation, Sejun came up with three names.
And then,
“Bingdak, Bluari, Padak.”
He spoke each name out loud, trying to see which one felt right.
But still,
This isn’t it either…
Even among the carefully chosen names, none of them seemed to satisfy him.
When you ponder for so long without finding an answer…
It’s best to return to the beginning.
There’s a high chance you made a mistake with the first step.
And then,
Let’s start over from Shasha.
Returning to the beginning, Sejun began the naming process anew.
“Combining Shasha with chick gives us ‘Shari’? Shari… Shari.”
[TL note: The name ‘Shari’ is abination of ‘?’ from ?? (Shasha) and ‘?’ from ‘???’ (chick), creating ‘Shari’ (??).]
This is it!
The more he said it, the more the name rolled naturally off his tongue.
“Alright. From now on, your name is Shari.”
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. It’s worse than my name!]
“That’s right. Eomdol is better than Shari, isn’t it?”
Kkiruk!
Sharng!
“Ahem. It’s better than my name, though…”
ckie Family’s reactions were mixed at Sejun’s words. Living with Sejun had warped their sense of what constituted a good name.
No way!
Of course, the one most disappointed by the name Shari was Karurur.
Karurur seemed destined to be recorded as Sejun’s masterpiece for a long time toe.
And just as Sejun finished naming Shari,[Your proficiency of Beekeeping Lv. 9 has filled up, and the level has increased.]
A message appeared before Sejun’s eyes.
Finally, his Beekeeping skill had reached the master level.
***
ck Tower, 99th Floor.
Sweetie’s Hive.
Whirrrrr. Whirrrrr.
Thousands of Poisonous Queen Bees lined up in a long queue in front of Sweetie’s hive.
And then,
Whirr!
[Sweetie-nim, congrattions on bing the Great Poisonous Queen Bee!]
The Queen Bees entered the hive to give their congrattory greetings to Sweetie.
Sweetie, who had learned much under the previous Great Poisonous Queen Bee, had finally evolved into the Great Poisonous Queen Bee herself.
Whirr. Whirr.
[Mm. Thank you.]
Sweetie received the congrattory messages from the Queen Bees with a nonchnt attitude.
I wish Sejun-nim were here…
She regretted not being able to show Sejun the moment when she became the Great Poisonous Queen Bee.
While Sweetie was receiving the Queen Bees’ congrattions,
Whirr. Whirr.
[Hehehe. Sweetie-nim, congrattions on bing the Great Poisonous Queen Bee. This is a token of my sincerity.]
The seventh Queen Bee, whom Sejun called ‘Seventh’, congratted Sweetie and ced a red object in front of her.
True to her talent as a schemer, Seventh didn’t miss the chance to offer a bribe.
Whirr?
[Why such a thing?]
The other Queen Bees couldn’t understand the Seventh’s actions.[??? Seed]
The object ced in front of the Poisonous Queen Bee was an unknown seed. It wasn’t something that could be eaten like pollen or honey.
However,
Smile.
Sejun-nim would be happy if I give him this seed, right?
For the first time, a smile appeared on the previously expressionless face of the Great Poisonous Queen Bee, Sweetie.
Hehehe, it worked.
To win over Sweetie-nim’s heart, you must first win over Sejun-nim’s heart!
Seventh proudly took her ce to Sweetie’s right, looking at the other Queen Bees.
Whirr.
[Hehehe. Sweetie-nim, is there anything you need?]
Seventh eagerly rubbed its front legs together, fully disying her talent as a schemer.
***
ck Tower, 59th Floor.
“Puhuhut. Hurry up and get your stamp, meow!”
“Yes!”
“Hey! Don’t push me!”
“I’m going first!”
Hearing Paku’s words, the goblins from Gobo Vige, who had arrived at the peri farm, beganpeting to get Theo’s stamp.
“Here. Goblins who got their stamps can take food from here.”
They were eager to eat the food that Sejun had prepared.
Just the aroma was enough to make them imagine the delicious taste that would explode in their mouths.
“Puhuhut. Don’t worry, meow! I, Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo, will stamp everyone in one go, meow!”
Pababak.
Theo moved swiftly using Meow-step, stamping hundreds of goblins on their shoulders in no time.
“Oh! It’s delicious!”
“Wow. How can something taste this good?”
The goblins quickly took advantage of the high-qualitypany cafeteria of Sejun Company.
“But what’s over there?”
As Sejun ate with the goblins, he looked toward the south, where he sensed a fragment of Fenrir’s core, and asked the goblins.
He was trying to gather information. He suspected that a monster might have picked up the gragment of Fenrir’s core.
“Over there? If you mean that area… that’s the Forest of Abyss.”
Paku answered Sejun’s question.
“Forest of Abyss?”
“Yes. A few months ago, a mist appeared in the forest, and since then, no one who goes in hase out, so that’s the name it got.”
“I see.”
I guess I’ll have to go and see for myself.
Sejun didn’t get any special information other than that the ce where Fenrir’s core fragment was located was suspicious.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
After finishing his meal,
“Shari, can you freeze this for me?”
He handed a ss of watermelon juice to Shari.
Then,
Ppiyak! Ppiyak!
[Yes! I’ll show you the power of Shari, the Chick of Screams and Ice!]
Shari immediately flew straight to Sejun, grabbing the ss with her tiny wings and focusing her strength.
After a brief private conversation with ckie, where they had a heart-to-heart conversation, Shari had be extremely polite.
Ppiyak! Ppiyak!
[Aaah! Aaah!]
Shari let out a strange cry as she tried to freeze the watermelon juice with all her might.
But,
Ppiyak…
Lacking the power, she could only freeze the surface of the watermelon juice slightly, leaving her feeling very dejected.
However,
“Oh. Did you intentionally make it slushy? Shari, you’ve got some good sense!”
She wasn’t very good at making ice cubes, but…
Sejun, thinking that Shari had done it on purpose, praised Shari and seemed pleased.
Ppiyak! Ppiyak!
[Of course! It was all part of my n!]
Thanks to Sejun’spliment, Shari regained her confidence.
-Why do I suddenly feel bad?
The ice cube suffered an inexplicable defeat.
After enjoying his watermelon juice,
“Alright, everyone, let’s harvest the peri seeds!”
Sejun mobilized the goblins and hispanions to start collecting peri seeds. Since they had peri nts in front of them, they couldn’t just leave them behind.
He felt a little regretful that they couldn’t pick the peri leaves earlier.
After filtering out the impurities from the harvested peri seeds,
“Cuengi, can you press this for me?”
Kueng!
[Got it!]
Cuengi lifted the peri seeds into the air using telekinesis.
Then,
Kueng!
As Cuengipressed the peri seeds with force,
Drip, drip.
Peri oil began to flow out from the seeds.
“Ah, the smell is amazing.”
First, Sejun fried an egg in the freshly pressed peri oil…
The fragrant aroma of the peri oil filled the air, and Sejun, thinking of how he could use it, started to fill ss bottles with the oil.
A little whileter…
Hehehe. Just looking at it makes me feel full.
Sejun, with a satisfied smile, looked at the 300 ss bottles filled with peri oil.[Your soul feels fulfilled.]
[Your Mental Strength has increased by 1.]
His Mental Strength had increased.
“Alright, let’s get moving. Take good care of the farm while I’m gone.”
“Yes! Leave it to us, Chairman Park!”
Sejun, receiving a warm farewell from the goblins, set off toward the direction of the Forest of Abyss, where he sensed a fragment of Fenrir’s core.
One hourter…
“So, this is the Forest of Abyss.”
Sejun and hispanions came upon a forest filled with dense gray fog. The mist was damp and gave off an ominous, sticky feeling.
“It feels creepy to go in. Cuengi, use Kueng-fooo.”
Kueng! Kueeeeng!
[Understood! Mist disappear!]
Following Sejun’smand, Cuengi used Kueng-fooo to blow away the fog.
Crash.
Boom! Bang!
However, Cuengi’s strength was too overwhelming, causing not only the fog but also the trees of the forest to be blown away, leaving the area clear and visible.
Cuengi’s power was more and more surprising the more he saw it.
“…Cuengi, well done.”
Kuhehehe.
Sejun praised Cuengi and walked toward the once fog-covered in that had be a nowpletely clear ‘Forest of Abyss’.
And then,[Fogra, the Mist of the Abyss]
They discovered the culprit creating the fog at the center of the forest.
A creature the size of a dump truck with a round body.
Its body was covered with suction-cup-like mouths,
Gulp. Gulp.
And from those mouths, it was exhaling gray mist.
Kking?!
[Huh?!]
That creature?!
ckie, who had noticed Fogra btedly, was taken aback.
Meanwhile, the fog that Cuengi had blown away began to creep back, surrounding Sejun and hispanions.
“Meow-meow-meow! Meow-meow-meow!”
Theo immediately attacked the fog with his Meow-meow Storm Fist.
Kueng!
[Kueng-Meteor Punch!]
Cuengi followed Theo’s lead and attacked the fog.
However,
······
The gray mist absorbed both their attacks without a trace.
It’s useless. That creature’s fog absorbs all attacks.
The only way to deal with it is to enter the fog and battle against all the souls that Fogra has absorbed.
Even for Fenrir, that was impossible.
In the past, unable to defeat Fogra, Fenrir had swallowed Fogra and the mist whole to deal with it.
Fenrir had devoured and digested many beings in this way, but there were five beings he could not fully digest and had to seal.
Fogra, the Mist of the Abyss was one of them.
Fogra, which had been sealed in Fenrir’s core fragment, began to regain its strength when Fenrir’s power weakened.
It even manipted Fenrir’s core fragment to create its own body and was now turning this ce into its territory.
At that moment,
-Fenrir! So you were here all along!
The mist began to surround ckie.
It was trying to settle the old score.
-Fenrir, this time I’ll devour you!
The mist swallowed ckie.
However,
Hehe. Wee! Guys, let’s show the power of the ckie Family!
ckie was no longer the solitary wolf fighting alone as he once had been.
-Wha… What is this?! Fenrir, why aren’t you alone?!
Within Frogra’s mist, which had the ability to merge everyone’s mental world, all seven former Apostles of Destruction revealed their colossal forms.
