Chapter 92. Stamp your paw print here, nya!

"This is Iona, nya!"

Theo introduced Iona to the jewel frogs.

Croak. Croak.

The jewel frogs surrounded Iona and began to exchange greetings.

And

'As planned, nya!'

Theo, who had separated Iona from Sejun, calmly returned to where Sejun was.

Then

Zing

"Nya?"

Theo felt his front paw being pulled by something. Another chance to win Sejun's affection had come.

"Where, nya?!"

Theo quickly ran following the pull of his front paw.

But the place Theo arrived at following the pull was a dead end.

"What, nya?"

Theo was momentarily confused but decided to dig through the wall, trusting his front paw. The pull indicated that the goal was not far away.

Crack.

Theo extended his front paw, claws out, to dig through the wall.

Swoosh.

Theo's front paw passed through the wall as if it were nothing.

"What, nya?"

After carefully inserting and withdrawing his front paw to confirm there was no danger, Theo walked through the wall. The illusion magic was so intricate that it confused even those who knew about it.

On the other side of the wall, a massive white temple was visible. Theo, following the pull of his front paw, boldly entered the temple. In the center of the temple's interior was a huge frog statue.

And

"There, nya!"

Theo understood what his front paw was being pulled towards. It was the rainbow-colored gem embedded in the forehead of the giant frog statue.

Crack.

Theo quickly climbed onto the forehead of the giant frog statue.

Pop.

He pulled out the rainbow-colored gem.

"Puhuhu. As expected, I have good luck, nya!"

While Theo was putting the gem he had obtained into his bag,

Swoosh.

The giant frog statue began to crumble like sand.

"Nya?!"

Theo instinctively realized he had caused a major incident.

"I'm running, nya!"

Theo quickly fled the temple and ran to Sejun. He did not immediately show the gem to Sejun.

'Strong-arming is not good, nya!'

Theo instinctively understood the principle of playing hard to get. It was not the right time to reveal the gem.

Theo, who had been waiting for the right moment, realized it had come when he saw Sejun praising Iona.

"President Park, I found something amazing, nya!"

Theo took the rainbow-colored gem out of his bag and ran to Sejun.

'I'll use this to fend off Iona, nya!'

He intended to solidify his position with the gem.

Then

-Is it you? The one who woke me from my slumber?!

An angry voice echoed in Theo's mind.

"Who, nya?"

-I am Geol, the god of the jewel frogs. You will pay the price for ruining my great work!

The rainbow-colored gem began to glow.

"Nya! President Park! Help me, nya!"

Theo felt his strength draining from his body and urgently called out to Sejun.

***

[Storing Purple Locusts in cryogenic storage.]

[The Purple Locusts are entering hibernation.]

[If the Purple Locusts are not removed within 10 hours, they will die.]

...

..

.

[50% of the space is now filled.]

...

..

.

After storing about 50,000 Purple Locusts in cryogenic storage, half of the subspace warehouse was filled.

"Comfortable."

Sejun looked at the square ice blocks containing the Purple Locusts and said. The neatly arranged square ice blocks, all of the same size, filled half the warehouse, making him feel at ease.

"Iona, then..."

Just as Sejun was about to ask Iona if the subspace warehouse had any other functions,

"Nya! President Park! Help me, nya!"

Sejun quickly turned his head at the sound of Theo's frightened voice calling him.

And

Thud.

He discovered Theo collapsing.

"Theo!"

Sejun hurriedly ran towards Theo. Despite feeling a massive and overwhelming aura from the gem, Sejun's determination to save Theo made him reach out without hesitation.

-Do you dare to interfere with the work of Geol, the god of the jewel frogs?!

The rainbow-colored gem glowed even brighter, trying to pull Sejun in as well.

But a black aura emanating from Sejun's body began to push back the gem's light.

And

[A racial deity has illegally entered the Black Tower.]

[Analysis: Geol, the god of the jewel frogs.]

[With the authority of a mid-level manager, Geol, the god of the jewel frogs, can be expelled.]

[Do you wish to expel Geol, the god of the jewel frogs?]

A message appeared.

***

-Ugh! Why is there a black dragon's aura here?!

Geol was startled by the black aura emanating from Sejun's body.

"Puhuhu. That's why you shouldn't mess with me, Theo Park, the fatal yellow cat, a subordinate of the great black dragon, nya?!"

Theo's soul, absorbed into the gem, stood with his hands on his hips, looking at the giant frog arrogantly. Despite stealing the gem, he was unapologetically confident.

-What?! You... No! You are a subordinate of the great black dragon?!

Geol's tone changed, startled by Theo's words. If he argued, his presence here was already a mistake.

Now that he was caught, he needed to obtain the great black dragon's permission to stay in the tower. He never expected the cat he had messed with to be a subordinate of the great black dragon!

"That's right, nya! And if you mess with me, President Park will punish you, nya! You're in big trouble now, nya!"

Theo spoke with the confidence of a child who has just been saved by an older sibling.

-Ugh...

Geol was frightened, but not by Theo's threats.

The tower forbids racial deities from entering. Geol had broken this rule.

-If I am expelled from here...

It means annihilation. The world Geol originally belonged to had already disappeared.

Then

"Puhuhu. Do you want to live, nya?"

Theo asked with a wicked smile.

-Yes!

Geol nodded vigorously, shouting. To Geol, Theo's voice sounded like salvation.

"Then there is a way, nya!"

-What... What is it?!

"Stamp your paw print here, nya!"

Theo took out a contract. As a soul, Theo could create anything he imagined.

-What?!

Geol was shocked at the contract Theo produced. Unbeknownst to Theo, the contract he proposed was a soul-to-soul contract, one that could not be broken even in death.

"Don't want to, nya?! Then there's nothing I can do, nya. It was nice meeting you, but let's not see each other again, nya."

Theo waved his front paw at Geol and greeted him cheerfully.

-No... No! I'll stamp it!

Being expelled from the tower and annihilated was worse than this. Geol, who did not want to be annihilated, agreed.

Squish.

The contract was stamped with a giant frog's paw print and a tiny Theo's paw print side by side.

***

"Iona, do you know what a racial deity is?"

"Of course! A racial deity is..."

Iona, thinking Sejun was evaluating her knowledge, began to explain enthusiastically. Thanks to her, Sejun learned a lot about racial deities.

"A deity that protects only one race... What should I do?"

In fact, he didn't ponder for long. How dare anyone try to harm our Theo? Sejun thought Theo had fainted after confirming he was still breathing.

Just as Sejun decided to expel Geol,

[Geol, the god of the jewel frogs, has made a soul contract with subordinate 1.]

[If Geol, the god of the jewel frogs, loses his divinity, he will revert to his previous name, Geol the Bug Hunter.]

[Geol the Bug Hunter will become the slave of subordinate 1.]

"Huh?"

Subordinate 1 was Theo.

Thump.

"Nya! President Park! Thank you for coming to save me, nya!"

While Sejun was assessing the situation, Theo, who had regained consciousness, clung to Sejun's knee, rubbing his forehead. A rainbow-colored gem in the shape of a frog hung around Theo's neck.

"Mr. Theo, are you okay?"

Sejun asked, examining Theo's body.

"Yes, nya! Now, President Park, trust only me, nya!"

Feeling good from Sejun's touch, Theo confidently declared.

And

"Wait a moment, nya!"

Theo ran outside. Sejun had praised Iona for the cryogenic storage function, but Theo thought it was because he had dealt with the Purple Locusts.

"Hey! Where are you going?"

"Now, I will fend off all of President Park's enemies, nya!"

"What?!"

Something felt very wrong. Very wrong. Theo must have misunderstood something.

"Move, nya!"

Meanwhile, Theo went outside to deal with the Purple Locusts entering the cave.

"Hey! Wait!"

Sejun quickly called out to Theo and followed him.

When Sejun followed Theo out of the rock crevice,

"Geol, come out, nya!"

Theo was calling for something. As he called, the frog-shaped rainbow-colored gem on his necklace began to glow.

"Huh? President Park is also out, nya? Let's go together, nya!"

When Theo noticed Sejun, he moved towards him.

Thud.

The ground around Theo's feet turned into a black swamp, and something began to rise. It was a giant frog with rainbow stripes, over 20 meters in size.

"Frog?"

"My subordinate, Geol, nya!"

Theo proudly answered.

Crunch. Crunch.

Meanwhile, all the Purple Locusts in the vicinity gathered.

"Geol! Eliminate President Park's enemies, nya!"

Slurp.

At Theo's command, Geol extended his giant tongue, which moved like a whip, instantly devouring about 10,000 Purple Locusts.

Geol's tongue seemed to have a sticky substance, as the Purple Locusts stuck to it could not escape.

Swallow.

Geol swallowed 10,000 Purple Locusts in one go, making his body even larger.

Slurp.

Meanwhile, Geol extended his tongue again to hunt more Purple Locusts. Geol grew larger each time he ate the Purple Locusts.

"Wow. Impressive."

Sejun looked at Geol, who had grown to 30 meters, and said.

"Puhuhu. What do you think, nya?! Now, I will fend off all of President Park's enemies, nya!"

Theo boasted.

But

"Are you laughing?"

Sejun's words were not praise.

"Nya?"

[Theo the Watchman's slave, Geol the Bug Hunter, has eliminated 200,000 Purple Locusts in one go.]

[Theo the Watchman gains 90% of the experience points obtained by his slave, Geol the Bug Hunter.]

[Theo the Watchman gains 50% of the experience points, which is 5 million.]

[Level-up is restricted.]

[Indirect experience points cannot be obtained.]

Sejun said, looking at the message. His experience points were draining away like water poured into a bottomless bucket.

"My experience points..."

"President Park, why is your face so sour, nya? Take care of it, nya?"

While Theo was poking Sejun's face with his front paw, not understanding his feelings,

Crunch. Crunch.

A massive purple wave was approaching from a distance. Geol's size was visible even from afar, and all the Purple Locusts at the waypoints flew towards him.

"Hey! Send him back quickly!"

"I understand, nya! Geol, come back, nya!"

At Theo's command, Geol began to sink back into the black swamp.

And when Geol was completely submerged,

"Mr. Theo! Plant them quickly!"

"I understand, nya!"

Thud. Thud.

Sejun and Theo quickly planted sturdy knife leeks at the entrance and around it, then hurriedly entered the rock crevice where the jewel frogs lived.

As soon as Sejun and Theo entered the cave,

Crunch. Crunch.

The Purple Locusts swarmed towards the sturdy knife leeks.

Then

Thud.

The Purple Locusts, eating the leeks, collapsed. Similar phenomena began to occur in various places.

Near the collapsed Purple Locusts were detoxifying leeks. Theo had planted them along with the others in his haste.

The detoxifying leeks neutralized the Purple Locusts' poison, causing them to die as if they were poisoned.
