I Am the Only Non-Returner - I Am the Only Non-Returner chapter 103

103 – Grow Big

“You had a hard time today too – but why are your clothes such a mess?”

“Huh? Uh, because of those bomb bugs.”

“It doesn’t hurt?”

“Don’t worry, it won’t take even 1 ounce of damage.”

If I hadn’t made a fool of myself, I wouldn’t have turned into a slut like this, so I patted Eunchae’s head, thinking that I should be more careful from now on.

aaahhh-

Sseukseu-

“Hmm?”

Something was hanging on my back with very weak force, hugging me tightly and rubbing her head.

“She keeps clinging to her brother. Are you sure she’s really lost her mind?”

Hmm…

I stared at Isabella, but as expected, I couldn’t read her mind.

The emotions I feel from this child…

Endless crush for no reason? It was about that.

‘Well, since this is the goodwill I gained through my achievements, I guess I feel a little sad.’

I didn’t like the fact that someone’s liking was determined by the system.

“Wow- au-“

‘You too must have been loved by someone and loved someone.’

Feeling a little indebted to her, she thought that she would have to be careful in her future use of holy water.

– Wow! Our hero~

– I’m tired of 100 Panhu, sister!

– I wonder who saved it.

People give loud cheers to Ling Ling who came down from the rooftop.

It may have meant encouragement for her to show off her strength, but the performance she actually showed was surprising.

By the end of the battle, leading a large army of well over 100 horses and sweeping the battlefield was enough to make one feel like the ruler of the battlefield.

“No, it’s because everyone and the organization of this shelter were so great. It was my first time having so many familiars.”

‘Ho… I see…’

Unlike Ling Ling, who showed her outstanding performance, I actually thought Isabella’s performance was subpar.

But her contribution level rose to 3 at once.

‘Why? Is it because you used healing on the dragon people?’

Because that was all I saw, I could only assume that.

“So which one did you save with the first ability you gained?”

“Oh, of course it’s a black panther.”

“······? Why do that with people like Dragon and Panhu?”

“Huh? Because it’s comfortable to ride?”

“Ah… I see.”

I thought that if I was going to ride, it would be best to ride a dragon, but it was a personal preference, so I had to respect it.

“Shall I show you?”

“Hmm?”

Lingling suddenly went out of the shelter and summoned a black leopard of his imposing size from the ground.

“The casting speed is very fast. I remember that Corpse Collector Song Subin used to have quite a bit of skill.”

And seeing that the Yeti with its upper body was not visible on top of the black panther I had summoned, it seemed like I had chosen one of the ones I had split in two and thrown away carelessly.

“The spot where the guy riding on top was torn away is dented, so it’s easy to ride.”

“Uh… Well, yeah.”

Seeing as the crimson blood did not stop even after entering and exiting Lingling’s subspace, it seemed to have no healing function like Lulu’s subspace.

‘Well, it’s a place to store dead people anyway, so I wonder if it needs a healing function. Will it turn into a skeleton over time?’

“What happens if a leg gets cut off during a fight?”

“Well, wouldn’t it be regenerated when the stage is over?”

“I see…”

It was also an enviable ability.

‘It feels like I have my own subordinate or colleague.’

“Hey Lala. Are you sleeping?”

“······”

“I guess he’s not dead?”

Lara’s torso was shaken violently, causing her flesh to bounce around like crazy, but she didn’t move an inch.

“Hmph! Since I don’t train regularly, I guess using some of my abilities would have made me like this.”

“Hmm – Anyway, you worked hard, Lala. If you keep doing it like you did today, I’ll give you plenty of points.”

“······”

When Lara wakes up anyway, she will have Ha-eun call me to earn points, so she expressed her gratitude to that extent and approached Lulu’s Dragoni unit.

“There are already six… But what do they eat for a living?”

“I guess I haven’t seen you take the energy of monsters during battle.”

“…It is raw food after all.”

“hehehehe, let’s just say it’s nature’s providence.”

“Lulu. If I miss, what do you think the next stage will be like?”

“Where else are you going to ask such a question?”

“I’m afraid you might come late. Clearing will be possible, right?”

“You’re saying it’s obvious. Just know that the safety of my colleagues is none of my business. The only thing I care about is a small contractor.”

“Hmm… Why don’t you at least take care of Hong Seol, Kim Hyuna, and Ling Ling?”

“That’s up to the butler.”

“Tch-“

“Cheet-“

After I finished showering, Isabella clung to my back again and clicked her tongue, imitating me.

“Isabella, the three I just mentioned are fighting outside the shelter, so you need to look at them and use their characteristics well.”

“Woo-?”

“Even if you pretend not to know, I believe you will take care of it. Looking at your contribution level, you must have worked hard.”

“Abuba-“

“The piggyback bar is already doing it…”

I thought about what would happen if the child’s regressive behavior continued like this, but it was still a bit difficult.

“I don’t know if you’ll be able to find someone to take care of you later.”

“Aww-“

Kkoook-

“I can’t stay with you forever.”

“hehehehe- hey!”

She kept trying to appeal by strangling her neck, but she wasn’t even at the level of a baby massage.

“Let’s pick something out on the rooftop today.”

First, let’s take a look at the rare traits that have been unlocked.

“The price is 1 million… But it doesn’t feel expensive at all!”

Surprisingly, it was four times more expensive than the advanced features, but it felt that way.

“Oh? It’s good from the beginning.”

Lightning (rare)

– A small lightning strike falls on the nearest enemy every 5 seconds.

“Good, good. These passive characteristics are useful. You don’t have to pay attention to them to use them.”

A total of 19 characteristics are possessed by adding the characteristic [Last Flame] Taken from the transport monster, and the number of characteristics possessed has increased to 25.

– 1,000,000P

Points held: 46,192,300

I don’t know how powerful it is, but the name [Lightning] Alone gave me a very powerful feeling, so I bought it right away.

Gust (Rare)

– Creates a gust of wind that drives enemies in a wide area to a designated location.

“Well, this is useful, but it’s ambiguous. It’s a hunting trait that costs a million points…”

It seemed like it would have good synergy with God’s Wrath, so it was a trait worth discussing with your teammates and considering purchasing.

The next characteristic is a quite interesting ability.

Ant hell (rare)

– This is an attribute that can only be used before the start of the stage. Traps are placed in 6 designated locations to suck enemies underground.

“This is fun. I’ll have to buy a few and ask them to use them to shoot down bugs.”

I decided to buy this for someone who wanted it and opened the last unlocked trait.

Giant (rare)

– Becomes huge for 70 seconds. (Once per 5 stages)

“Hey! Today’s talent draw was a huge success.”

A skill that only lasts for 70 seconds and can only be used once per 5 stages.

As the limitations are greater, the power will be proportional to them.

– 1,000,000P

“It’s used every 5 stages… It’s a bit of a waste to use it tomorrow.”

From Noble mtl dot com

Kim Hyuna has become huge, Hong Seol has become huge…

After…

For some reason, my lower body felt stimulated, so to calm my excitement for a moment, I approached the statue of the great devil and began to carefully wipe it with a cloth.

However, unlike usual, the new image became red and a message suddenly appeared.

– Connected to the Great Devil…

– Stop it! You guy! Are you sane! You put a saint in front of me!

“Huh? Ah! This?”

I could feel Isabella’s breath leaning on my back.

– Yeah that damn thing! Get rid of it right now!

Quickly, she stretched out her finger and pulled Isabella away.

“I did. It’s been a long time, so whatever happened-“

– The connection with the Great Evil has been lost.

– The durability of the blessed Great Devil’s Unholy God statue has increased by 1000.

Shelter durability: 62350/62350 (+1000)

I don’t know if it was because I didn’t have enough points, but Ser disconnected me before I could even finish my sentence.

“It’s been a while. I’m sorry.”

I had something to ask, so I swallowed my regret and went downstairs.

On the first floor, everyone, including the new arrival Lingling, was looking at the kitchen.

It looked like the chef and his wife were making something.

“It’s kimchi pancake.”

“There are also potato pancakes.”

“You don’t have this at home, right?”

“You know the camellia flower.”

“What on earth do you mean?”

Aksh*ta always shows interest in the jokes that Kahi and Eunchae exchange, and Linglin sits on the kitchen assistant chair and stares at the people, perhaps a bit too tired to sit on the sofa yet.

Director Ahn and Okja Go still enjoy coffee.

My uncle and Byeongcheon are having a conversation outside.

Suzy and Kim Hyun-ah laughing loudly while looking at the babies.

‘It’s peaceful…’

People who cannot be seen right now are probably taking a late nap and resting in their rooms.

And Ling Ling’s eyes, seeing this scene once again, deepened moment by moment, and she repeatedly became wet.

‘I guess I’ll just have to wait.’

Honestly, what I was most curious about was the abilities of that guy named Lee Jung-shin, and there were a lot of things I wanted to ask, such as whether he was definitely dead, but he decided to wait, so I guess I’ll keep my word.

‘A small event… Will it outweigh the benefits gained from the dimensional gap?’

Actually, that wasn’t the case. It’s literally a small event sandwiched between stages.

It will be difficult to receive any great reward for coming in first place here.

‘I can only hope that our team does well.’

·········

‘I feel like I died less than I thought… But it’s different because the teams passed stage 30.’

The mood was down for a moment, but the fragrant and savory smell quickly warmed me up.

Isn’t the role of the cook and his wife very important in helping the people in our shelter maintain their sanity?

I thought about that while mindlessly eating the food.

– Oh, it’s really delicious!

– Could you please put this dough in the refrigerator? Eat it when you’re bored.

– hehehehe, I already put it in.

– Yes~!

As expected, he praised the chef and his wife for upgrading ordinary kimchi pancakes and potato pancakes to Michelin star level, and said that the atmosphere must have improved as well.

“I’ll go out and come back.”

·········

But for a moment, the atmosphere suddenly froze, as if being thrown into cold water.

“Hyung, what is the mood…”

Euncheol, who had just come into the kitchen, whispered in a crawling voice, followed by the women’s worried complaints and sighs, and the conclusion was:

“I’ll be there soon, don’t worry.”

“Please don’t get hurt… Do you have to come with your clothes exactly as they are?”

“Uh… Wouldn’t that be a bit difficult?”

“Today’s mission.”

“··· Let’s try.”

Should we talk about something else? I quickly came out of the shelter and was unwinding her body when Lingling came out and asked.

“I heard a rough explanation, but no matter how much I think about it, I don’t know. Do I really have to go?”

“Maybe?”

“Hey, is that full armor…?”

“Not if you plan to buy it.”

“··· Why could it be?”

Euncheol was able to get by easily, but Linglin was a bit dangerous.

“I was on the verge of death when I absorbed one piece, but I didn’t tell anyone else. It’s dangerous. Really.”

“Chi…”

“Huh… How many points do you have? You mean you have enough money to buy one piece?”

“······”

“Seriously, don’t buy it.”

“Okay, I got it.”

“Seup-“

“I really don’t buy it. If I buy it, I’ll be broke.”

That means there are 5 million…

I was a little worried, but I couldn’t take it away by force, so I just trusted it and set out on my way.

“Take this with you.”

“…What ring?”
