I Am the Only Non-Returner - I Am the Only Non-Returner chapter 114

114 – Strengthened by the outer castle

“Unless I cut the line connected to the execution site, it seems difficult to control it with my own hands and feet.”

“Really? I guess it doesn’t work… I didn’t have high expectations because it was so big.”

Quaaang!

“Dirty rotten tree dare!”

The malice of wanting to kill Lulu flying around is thickly melting in the air.

As if in a final struggle, Koramana’s stem split into very small pieces, differentiated into hundreds of stems, and attacked in all directions.

However, the Dragoni unit evaded the stalks by elegantly using their fighting skills, and at the same time, they even launched counterattacks with a fluid flow.

In particular, the destructive power of the early Dragoni numbers was extremely threatening.

With a single blow, he burst out stems thicker than his body and could not help but stick his tongue out as he dug into the starting point of the stem.

“They are getting stronger as time goes on. It may be natural since their basic base is far superior to that of humans.”

In the end, we defeated all the enemies in less than 5 minutes and stood in front of the fallen saintess, who was laughing sinisterly even though she was torn to pieces.

“Are you not going to use holy water anymore?”

Lulu said, looking at me with her arms crossed.

“Yes, I feel like I can’t do anything when I see Isabella.”

“Sometimes, the butler seems to think too much.”

“I see… On the contrary, it’s a shame that I’m always lacking in ideas. If I had been smarter, if I’d been more careful, I’ll always have these regrets.”

“It’s not a good thing to underestimate your own abilities too much.”

“I don’t really have the ability to overestimate. I’m worried about the next stage right now.”

Saying that, she passed away as a saint with [Abundance] Activated.

Daily supply and demand points: 3,779

＜9,819,000P is added due to the shelter effect.＞

Points held: 132,178,200

“Yoo-hoo – the points are steadily accumulating. As expected, the supply and demand has increased a lot since the surrounding shelters have been eliminated.”

It seemed like I could easily collect 200 million points before stage 40.

Although it was a more difficult battle than expected, we passed the boss stage with ease by taking full advantage of the [Giantization] Attribute effect. We decided to forget about the battle for a while and go to our rooms to cool off.

Fighting monsters all day and just watching them explode causes mental fatigue to reach its limit.

Of course, other than my s*xual desire and destructive instinct, I didn’t have much trouble, so I was looking at the list of stores that were unlocked this time.

And it has been a while since the ticket ban was lifted, so I was looking at it closely.

Shelter outer castle construction ticket

– Build a wall on the outskirts of the shelter.

– The outer castle has a durability that is separate from the shelter durability.

– Caution! Due to the external strength, durability increases additionally, but at the same time, the size of the enemies you have to deal with increases several times!

– Prices vary depending on the shelter grade.

Price: 12,000,000P

“The words are written in a complicated way. In the end, the idea is to purchase them considering the increased defense area. They’re just scaring you for no reason.”

If you spend a lot of money to install it, but it is surrounded by a much larger number of monsters and is instantly destroyed, it may not be worth the points, so be careful.

“Now it’s time to pretend to be kind.”

– 12,000,000P

I purchased the ticket without any hesitation, and as always, the ground began to tremble violently.

When I went outside to check out the construction, the construction of the outer castle had already been completed.

Of course, everyone in the shelter came out and looked around the shelter again.

“Is this the outer castle?”

Euncheol looked a little disappointed, perhaps because it was different from his expectations.

From Noble mtl dot com

A 4m high navy blue stone wall was built surrounding the shelter.

To be more precise, it was built about 5 meters away from the moat, and the walls were translucent from the inside, allowing the outside to be seen.

On the other hand, the shelter was not visible from outside.

“Can’t I just jump over this?”

Euncheol came outside and lightly jumped towards the end of the outer wall.

As expected, Euncheol’s abilities improved a lot, and he was already far beyond human athletic ability, so he was able to reach the 4m high stone wall in one go.

But just as he was about to grab the stone wall with his hand, the sound rose 1 meter higher.

“Oh!”

Euncheol eventually missed the wall and landed on the floor, tilting his head.

“Could it be that this automatically increases in response to the other person?

“I think so…”

Not only I but everyone else tried to jump over it, but we were always blocked by a wall that was 1m higher than where we were trying to reach.

“Is it good?”

“I’m going to waste my time trying to overcome these stupid monsters rather than trying to destroy them.”

“I can’t even get over the Margus.”

“It will stop snipers from sniping and is definitely worth the money, brother.”

When I saw the durability of the outer castle, I also had high expectations that it would do its job well.

Outer castle durability: 30,000/30,000

“Upgrade…”

– Do you want to install additional outer castle? Y/N (Cost: 12,000,000P)

“Additional installation? Hmm – I guess the upgrade won’t work. Anyway, everyone, please take a step back. I’ll install one more thing.”

-12,000,000P

Dudeuddeud-

– Additional installation of outer castle has been completed.

Outer castle durability: 40,000/40,000

Pisik-

Still, I laughed out loud when I saw that 10,000 durability was added just because it was an additional installation.

“But where is the 10,000? I thought it would be the same with no flexibility.”

“Then if I install one more, it’s 50,000?”

“Let’s try one more thing.”

-12,000,000P

– Additional outer castle installation…

Outer castle durability: 50,000/50,000

– Oh~

– It’s reassuring!

– Nice!!

– Phew… I survived.

– hehehehe, now I can fight with peace of mind.

‘The reaction is much stronger than I expected.’

Even if we pretended otherwise, it seems like everyone still felt uneasy about the durability of our shelter.

“But even if this increases by 10,000, the area becomes larger, so it seems like it will break much faster.”

“The explanation says so, but be careful.”

“It’s enough just to give the buggers a boost in the beginning.”

“Honey, are you going to install only three?”

He nodded and said in response to Hong Seol’s question.

“It’s really just about buying time with the exterior wall. Let’s increase the number while watching the progress.”

“Huh~ I feel reassured for some reason, and the shelter director brought in ingredients from another world! How about having a meat party with this guy called the Red One-Horned Boer?”

– Great!

– I’ve wanted to eat it since yesterday!

– Could you please start with some raw meat? They say it still looks like it was just slaughtered even after time passes?

– Does it stay that way even if I put it in the refrigerator?

– That’s right. It’s amazing, really.

People’s tension rose sharply with a single word from Kim Jeong-gi.

“Abua?!”

“Isabella says it’s good too.”

“Isabella, you are still a saint. Can you eat meat?”

“I saw you eating stir-fried pork very well during lunch today, right?”

“Well, I’m not a monk, so I can eat it. I’m from another world, so what?”

I smiled happily as I looked at the people making a fuss, and immediately jumped up to the rooftop.

– Kyaha!

– Kishahahaha!

On the rooftop, the dragonis were sparring and caressing each other, and Lulu was floating in the air, occasionally lashing out.

“Ah, butler. I heard you talking below. They eat something called a one-horned borer, right?”

“Huh? Do you eat meat too?”

“Hmph, do you think I would eat such low-quality food? Please tell the cook below to distribute a certain amount to our unit.”

“Aha, okay.”

Even though she treated her roughly, she showed her side as a leader by taking care of her subordinates.

By the way.

“Are the other shelters in good condition?”

‘The grandmother shelter part is ok, the golem shelter part is already finished… It’s fast, isn’t it? A shelter with poisonous rain would be just fine.’

However, the shelter that caused earthquakes and the shelter that had the ability to turn monsters into small bugs looked quite scary.

“It looks like you’re having a hard time even though you turned the boss monsters into rags.”

Obviously, the boss monsters in several neighboring shelters also inflicted damage until they died, but even so, they were showing signs of being pushed back.

This was beyond my expectations.

Did you ever think there would be such a difference in power?

“Well, in the end, the problem is the ability to replicate.”

The scattered stems continued to eat nutrients from the earth and replicate themselves, and the speed was quite fast.

Moreover, it did not just absorb intangible energy.

“What? You eat wooden archers, right?”

It grabs a tree-shaped archer monster that boasts a fast firing rate by its trunk and sucks its body fluids, causing its body to swell greatly.

After repeating the process dozens of times, it grew to the size of a city bus.

Then, something like an elongated snout stuck out from its body and immediately started firing small bean bullets.

Tung! Boom! Tung!-!

I wondered how much damage it would cause since the bullet itself was so small, but it quickly began to melt the E-shelter’s shield.

The people of E Shelter were very embarrassed and ran out into the field and rushed towards the guy.

“It was a close call…But I recovered.”

Although she was able to catch the fallen saint, she was unable to completely finish off the boss monster, which was a big problem later on.

Before we knew it, ‘Kora Mana’, who had recovered her own body, received strength from her execution site and began to make her final struggle.

A huge attack struck the people out in the field.

We entered a melee where the blood and flesh of monsters and people splattered, and time continued to pass.

“This is much more thrilling to watch than to fight.”

＜00:13:00＞

＜00:06:33＞

＜00:01:01＞

“But I still survived. I will never be able to clear E Shelter next time…”

Fortunately, all neighboring shelters were also cleared.

However, the damage was also significant, and some shelters seemed to be in a situation where they could not guarantee what would happen next.

“I could help you more, but… Um, I don’t know.”

“600 Million…”

I saw an article that said the actual world population exceeds 8 billion.

If you think about it the way it is, it was a moment when more than half of the world’s population had died.

And then my head started to busy thinking about the next stage.

“If it’s that size, wouldn’t there be a small chance of it coming out in revenge like a fallen saint?”

I pictured such a hopeful outlook.

If only one came out, it was enough to deal with.

However, if several Coramana appear…

Actually, clearing was no problem.

I guess it’s a matter of time and compensation.

At that moment, I saw people running towards our shelter.

I lightly jumped from the rooftop, landed on the ground, and greeted those who came to see me.

Everyone was in disbelief, especially E Shelter’s father-in-law, Ji Yeon-ho.

[f*ck, f*ck…! I really almost died!]

He was looking at the ground and clenching his fists.

He survived by only one minute, so the feeling of fear must have been indescribable.

I guess it’s because I’m trying to deal with the dark and sticky feelings that are boiling up inside me right now, trying to deal with them on my own, that they’ve become rough.

“Thank you all for your hard work, let me make a suggestion.”
