TL: Hanguk
Just before the mana stone mine exploded.
“Kyoo- How dare you try to deceive me, Gonova?!”
When Gonova pulled out a magic bomb, Iona, who had been detecting the magic wave of the holy stone, immediately tried to retaliate.
Even though she had been focusing on magic detection, she had always been wary of Gonova, as their relationship had never been good.
“Kyoo-Kyoo-I didn’t think you’d set a trap like this …”
Iona prepared her magic spell with a bitter expression.
Due to the unstable mana stones nearby, she couldn’t use a powerful magic spell, but a great wizard like Iona could easily use enough magic to defeat Gonova without disturbing the mana stones.
Just as Iona was about to cast magic on Gonova,
“What is this?!”
She felt a energy different from the usual mana stones. It was the holy stone.
Gonova had lied about the presence of the holy stone to lure Iona, but in fact, there was a holy stone in the mana stone mine. If Gonova had known, he would have been quite indignant.
When Iona sensed the holy stone, the holy stone sensed Iona’s power as well.
And then,
“I am the Holy Stone Ice Cube, offer me your body!”
“Kyoo?”
A cold and unpleasant voice entered Iona’s mind.
Ssssh.
At the same time, the holy stone’s power targeted Iona. A chilling force infiltrating her body. It was clearly the power of a holy stone with an ice attribute, but it was also different. A somewhat darker force.
“Kyoo-Get lost!”
Iona raised her magic to repel the holy stone’s power.
But
“I missed him!”
While repelling the holy stone’s power, Gonova escaped.
At that moment,
-Give me your body!
The holy stone’s power again tried to cling to Iona’s body again.
“Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo- I missed Gonova because of you! We need to have a serious talk! Power of magic! Obey my command and block everything! Dimension Shield!”
When the holy stone annoyingly tried to cling again, Iona, thoroughly infuriated after letting Gonova escape, used ultra-high-level barrier magic that remained completely disconnected from the surrounding dimensions for several days once activated.
It was to have a serious conversation with the holy stone.
It would be simple to destroy the surrounding mana stones along with the holy stone, but then she couldn’t give the holy stone as a gift to Sejun. So, although it was bothersome, she protected both herself and the holy stone within a barrier.
For several days inside the barrier, a serious conversation went back and forth between Iona and the holy stone. If it had been outside, the mana stone mine would have exploded several times, as that much powerful energy exploded within the Dimension Shield.
And then
Cling.
As the magic was released and the Dimension Shield disappeared, Iona emerged deep underground, holding a blue gem. The blue gem was the holy stone that had finished talking with Iona.
The holy stone was quiet, whether it had a good conversation with Iona or not.
“Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo- Gonova, how dare you try to kill me! I won’t let you off!!!”
Iona prepared her magic in anger, intending to rush to Gonova and make him regret being born.
“Power of Fire and Earth! obey my command and create a volcano! Volcano!”
Iona’s magic caused a volcanic eruption.
Boom!
Iona’s magic shook the ground, and lava began to form from the underground.
Also,
Kabang Kaboom.
The unstable mana stones reacted again to Iona’s magic.
“Ice Cube, protect me.”
Crackle.
At Iona’s command, the holy stone used Iona’s magic power to create a solid ice barrier, a sealed hexahedron, around her body.
Shortly after, with the explosion of the mana stones and the eruption of lava, Iona, encased in the hexahedron ice, was engulfed by lava and escaped from the underground.
Boom!
And Iona shot into the sky.
Then,
“Kyoot?! This magic power is?”
A energy that she could sense without detecting magic. It was Sejun’s magic power, marked deliberately since it was too weak.
“Sejun is nearby!”
And that meant Theo was nearby too! Why he was on the 77th floor didn’t matter.
“I have to sleep first!”
Iona hurriedly flew in Sejun’s direction. For three days in the Dimension Shield, she had not slept a wink while harshly training the holy stone so that Sejun could use it without problems.
***
“I’ve brought news of Master Sejun!”
A wolf hurriedly arrived with news of Sejun on the 99th floor of the tower.
-It’s a relief that Sejun is safe. Aileen, you heard that, didn’t you? So don’t worry too much.
Kaiser reassured Aileen.
Then,
“And it seems that Master Sejun will be delayed in returning, and he asked me to convey to Master Kaiser to take good care of the farm.”
-What?! He dares to ask me to manage the farm?!
Kaiser was furious. The audacity to order a dragon around!
“Ah! I should have given this to you first… My apologies for the mistake. Master Sejun told me to give this to Master Kaiser.”
The wolf took out a bottle of fruit wine made by monkeys.
-What?! Our Sejun sent this?!
Kaiser’s tone changed as he quickly accepted the bottle and opened the lid.
Ssss.
As soon as the lid was opened, a rich mango fragrance wafted out. Sejun had sent a specially selected mango wine that had been well aged for over 30 years, just for the wine lover Kaiser.
-Ahem! Tell Sejun not to worry about the farm and come back slowly! It would be nice if he brings a bottle like this every time he visits. Hahaha.
Kaiser volunteered to be the farm manager for just one bottle of wine.
And when the wolf was about to leave,
-Ahem. I’ll help manage the farm too, so tell Sejun to also send some sweet potato soup as well.
Kellion also stepped forward, volunteering to become a farm manager.
***
Rumble.
“Ugh!”
After a ground-shaking earthquake, the ground suddenly bulged in the direction Sejun and the animals were looking.
And then,
Boom!
A massive volcanic explosion occurred, accompanied by a huge roar. Huge rocks erupted from the newly formed volcano and fell around it. Fortunately, no rocks fell near Sejun’s banana farm.
At that moment,
Thump.
“What?”
Something fell from the sky into Sejun’s hand. A snow-white, fluffy hamster.
“Kyoot! Sejun, nice to see you.”
It was Iona.
“Iona?!”
“Kyoot-Kyoot-Kyoot! Sejun, use this. I’ll go to sleep for a bit.”
[The Great Destructive Wizard Iona has permitted the use of the Holy Stone Ice Cube.]
[You have met the usage restriction to use the Holy Stone Ice Cube.]
[You have become the owner of the Holy Stone Ice Cube.]
“Ice Cube? What’s this?”
Sejun read the message that appeared as he took the blue gem from Iona and asked again.
Kyoorong.
Iona fell asleep snoring. Was she very tired?
“Representative Theo, please take good care of Iona.”
Sejun carefully handed Iona to Theo.
“Got it, meow!”
As Theo, who had been hanging on Sejun’s knee, extended his tail like a fishing rod to grab Iona,
“Kyoot!”
Thump.
Like biting bait, Iona reached out her adorable hand and grabbed Theo’s tail. Even in her sleep, she reacted to Theo’s tail.
“Kyoot-Kyoot-Kyoot.”
Iona began to sleep soundly, curled up with Theo’s tail and making pleasant sounds, satisfying her two conditions for a good nap.
“What’s this Holy Stone?”
After confirming that Iona was sleeping well, Sejun checked the blue gem that Iona had given him.
[Holy Stone Ice Cube]
→ A stone created when a star fell from the sky.
→ It was briefly contaminated by corrupted energy but was completely purified by a powerful force, retaining only the power of ice.
→ If recognized as an owner, you can supply magical power to the Holy Stone and create ice in a cube shape.
→ If the owner is in danger, the Holy Stone will automatically protect the owner by wrapping them in cube-shaped ice.
→ Owner: Tower Farmer Park Sejun
→ Grade: S+
→ Usage Restrictions: Magic power 100 or more, those with Iona’s permission
“Cube-shaped ice? Ice Cube.”
When Sejun poured magic power into the Holy Stone,
Ding!
A cubic piece of ice was created in front of Sejun, about 50cm in size. That was the maximum size Sejun could create with his magic power.
Squeak!
Kreong!
As Sejun made the ice, the Black Rabbit and Cuengi started to take an interest. They touched, licked, and even bit the ice as they played with it.
Meanwhile, Sejun was lost in thought.
“Can I mix this with something else?”
Sejun took out some honey this time and said,
“Ice Cube.”
He again infused magic power into the Holy Stone, this time thinking of mixing it with honey.
Slosh.
The Ice Cube began to form, absorbing honey from a glass jar. This time, he reduced the magic power to make it fist-sized.
And then,
Ding.
A completed ice and honey mixture – Ice Honey Cube.
“Cuengi! Come here for a moment. I have something good for you!”
Sejun hurriedly called Cuengi to show off his masterpiece. Cuengi had to love it.
Kreong!
At Sejun’s call, Cuengi, who had been enjoying the coolness by lying on the ice, came running.
Kreong?
[Dad you called?]
“Cuengi, try eating this.”
When Sejun gave him an ice honey cube,
Crunch!
Cuengi immediately bit into it.
Kreong!!
[It’s sweet and cool!]
He couldn’t contain his joy, shaking his bottom. Sejun knew he would like it.
Chomp. Crunch.
Cuengi started to enjoy the ice honey cubes.
When Cuengi was enjoying the honey-mixed ice honey cubes,
Squeak!
The black rabbit asked to have a carrot put inside ice for it.
“A carrot?”
Squeak!
It might not work since carrots aren’t liquid, Sejun decided to try it anyway.
“Ice cube.”
He prepared sliced carrots, and as he imbued them with magic power,
Thump. Thump.
The sliced carrots floated up and were enveloped in ice, forming ice cubes.
“Huh? It worked?”
It seemed like just about anything could be frozen and eaten.
Squeak!
The black rabbit urged him to hurry with the ice carrot cubes.
“Here.”
When Sejun gave it the ice carrot cubes,
Crunch. Crunch.
Squeak!
The black rabbit happily chewed on the ice and carrot together.
Just then,
Moo!
The Black Minotaurs began to line up, holding the grass they were eating.
“You want me to freeze yours too?”
Moo!
The Black Minotaurs nodded at Sejun’s words.
“Alright. Ice cube.”
Sejun became an ice vending machine. Grateful for their effort to come all this way to find him, he diligently made ice grass cubes according to the Black Minotaurs’ request.
“Phew. Finally done.”
Sejun flopped down to the ground, exhausted. Making an ice grass cube for each of the 500 Black Minotaurs had nearly depleted his magic power.
However, thanks to his fast magic power recovery, he managed this much. Without it, he would have collapsed long ago.
“Black rabbit, crack that for me.”
He said to the black rabbit, pointing to an ice cube containing an entire watermelon, which he had frozen earlier to enjoy later while making the Black Minotaurs’ ice grass cubes.
Squeak!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
When the black rabbit struck the ice with a hammer,
Creak.
Only the ice broke. The watermelon hadn’t frozen solid, as it had only been in the ice for about 30 minutes.
Squeak!
When the black rabbit brought the watermelon over,
Thud.
Sejun stabbed it with his dagger and twisted it,
Creak.
The watermelon split open on its own.
“Shall we eat?”
Sejun picked up the half of the watermelon.
“Ah. Refreshing.”
Just holding the watermelon seemed to take the heat away.
Thump.
Sejun began to eat the partially frozen watermelon with a spoon.
“Uh. It’s cold.”
Sejun shivered as he spoke. After about three spoonfuls, a chilly sensation rose from within, and he felt cold.
At that moment,
Thwack.
One spoon was stabbed into Sejun’s watermelon. It was Cuengi. He had already eaten half with the black rabbit and now eyed Sejun’s portion.
Chomp, chomp.
Watching the rapidly disappearing watermelon, Sejun began to eat faster.
However,
“Ugh!”
Eating the cold stuff too quickly led to a brain freeze.
Kreong!
In the meantime, Cuengi ate the remaining watermelon and made a victory V with his fingers.
“Cuengi, don’t you get brain freeze?”
Kreong?
Cuengi tilted his head, as if to ask what that was.
That made Sejun feel even more resentful and wronged.
Just as Sejun was feeling indignant,
“Master Sejun……”
“Master Sejun……”
The wolves looked at Sejun with pitiful eyes. What about us? We want something cool to eat too.
Luckily, the wolves were meat-eaters. He was able to satisfy them by giving them frozen Purple Locust meat from the void storage.
On day 285 of being stranded, a hectic day came to an end.
And the next morning,
“You’re leaving so early?”
“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. Yes! I have urgent business to take care of. I’ll be back soon!”
Iona grabbed a few roasted peanuts and hurriedly left as soon as she got up.
Her retreating figure looked very ominous.
“Exactly, who provoked her……”
Sejun prayed for the soul that had angered Iona.
