I Am the Only Non-Returner - I Am the Only Non-Returner chapter 116
116 – How big will it grow?
“What is AC really?”
Absurdly, there were no new people in the dimensional gap I entered this time, nor was there any chaos gained from defeating monsters.
I was just trapped in an incredibly quiet and dark space.
At first, I waited to see if there would be some kind of reward for holding on like this for 10 minutes, but I soon found out that wasn’t the case.
In the end, I shouted to leave, but only the echo of my shout rang out, and I was left in that space.
You can’t leave?
I tried splitting it here and there with magic, but all that came out was another darkness.
I wrestled for a while, consuming all my magical energy and recovering again.
I thought it couldn’t work like this, so after thousands of attempts to grab a spot and tenaciously tear it apart, I was able to return to this place where the familiar air flowed.
“Is it a no-go?”
I was very embarrassed by this situation, as it always gave me a big advantage every time I went in.
It was very difficult mentally.
“Next time, I’ll have to go in desperately hoping for something. Maybe it’s because I’m feeling too relaxed.”
Thinking like that, I moved with difficulty to the shelter.
Outside the shelter, Isabella and Lingling were standing on tiptoe and waving at me.
“It’s late. Why are you outside?”
I scolded Linglin for no reason, but it always felt good to know that someone was waiting for me.
“No, maybe it’s because I slept too much during the day, but I can’t sleep, so Isabella keeps asking me to go out.”
“Avva! Erbba!”
He kept hitting my back and hugging Isabella, who was fussing, and said.
“I wasted today.”
“Huh? Are there days like that?”
“It’s my first time too, so I’m confused.”
“Well, there should be times to rest like that.”
“It would have been nice to rest, but that place…”
Isn’t that what it would feel like to be thrown into a universe where there is nothing?
It was truly a terribly lonely, cold, and sad thing.
I lowered Isabella to her ground for a moment and turned to face her.
“Aww?”
“I’m sorry. I made you like this the way I wanted to.”
I don’t know why, but she was thinking that she should apologize to her.
“Wow…”
Isabella bent down on one knee and gently stroked my hair with her hand a few times, which was at eye level with her. Then, she radiated light.
– The caster’s divine power has far exceeded its limit.

– [Blessing of the Earth] Stabilizes the mind and body.
“·········”
Her physical strength was already full, but the moment she was healed by Isabella, she felt like things that were out of alignment in her heart were coming back into place.
The tip of her nose twitched, and she felt something welling up in her eyes, so she looked up at the sky.
‘When I was trapped in that space, it was so scary and difficult that I tried to erase my feelings…’
I felt like I would lose my mind if I didn’t do that.
Isabella healed his devastated heart.
“··· Thank you, Isabella.”
“Hihi- Abbu!!”
He picked her up again on her back and slowly walked around the shelter with her Lingling.
“There are so many stars. Even if I collected all the stars I’ve seen in my entire life, it wouldn’t be even a tenth of what I see now.”
“Really… The world has become like this, but the sky is becoming more and more beautiful.”
“Aww…”
For some reason, I had a feeling that I would not forget this night even after decades.
.
.
.
And the next day.
Stage 36 battle has begun.
There was no significant difference in the situation at our shelter. Perhaps because a sniper monster appeared in stage 34, there were no new types of monsters.
However, it was clear that there was a noticeable difference as the overall specifications of the enemies increased.
The key was Shelter A, which achieved shelter fusion. Perhaps because the five shelters were integrated, the size of the coramana was much larger and the speed of spreading stems was very fast.
“So I came personally, you bastard.”
Move over Koramana’s head, which has been strengthened at once with Suzy’s ability.
I gathered 3000 magical powers into my fist and plunged it exactly into the center of the guy’s head.
The greatest blow ever in terms of magical power investment.
Kooooo
Oh my gosh -!!!
The moment my fist touched the guy’s head, I felt like someone grabbed my fist from the sky and brought it down to the ground.
A huge shock wave of magical energy from the fist penetrated the monster’s body, spread to the ground, and reached underground, causing a shock comparable to an earthquake in the area.
Quaaa!
– Wow!!
– Kieee!
Horrible screams simultaneously erupted from the long, hideous mouths of the head and body, and the large and small faces on the tree’s trunk grimaced in agony and howled.
The guy’s body was crushed by my punch, and his height had dropped considerably, and he was trying to recover again.
‘After all, you can’t kill him with one hit.’
“Pour it all in!!”
It was a battlefield appeal item that shouted loudly to the people of A Shelter.
With that as a signal, a huge fist was released from Shelter A at the stems scattered everywhere.
Shooaaa
Kieee-
The land was cleaned in an instant.
Along with him, Ban Kang-jun, riding a silver mithril golem, rushed out leading the golem unit.
The stems that were growing out of the ground again and replicating themselves turned into small bugs due to Jiyeonho’s [Bad Bug] Characteristic, and they exploded and died when they hit the jumping golems.
Nevertheless, the stems that persistently survived fell underground, buried by the sporadic nature of earthquakes.
And from earlier, blood-colored rain had been falling from the sky. Surprisingly, this ability had a hidden ability that not only inflicted poison damage to enemies, but also gave allies a buff that increased attack speed.
It was definitely exciting to be able to hit three shots in the time it usually took to hit two.
But if it lasted for an hour, I couldn’t help but get sick of it.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
“I’m so sick of this. My arms are about to fall off.”
He turned his shoulders left and right once and took a breath.
This tree, which gave off a disgusting and disgusting odor, had ridiculously high physical strength, and it took a long time for the main combatants, including me, to beat it before it started to calm down.
It goes without saying that more than 100 people in Shelter A suffered major and minor injuries during the grueling process.
Not only did we have to deal with not only Koramana, but we also had to deal with existing monsters that were difficult to overcome.
The battlefield was truly more than a mess, it was reminiscent of hell.
Chimera Dragon, invisible snipers, tenacious Panhu and agile black panther.
The Magus and Wooden Archers are constantly in check.
It’s already been over an hour since hundreds of people fought against thousands of monsters.
The strengthened Koramana was getting smaller and smaller as its maximum health was destroyed.
From blue dragon size to drake.
From Drake to Chimera Dragon.
It shrunk from a mantis monster to the size of a scorpion turtle.
The stems scattered by the shrunken Coramana were also born with insignificant combat power.
In the end, it is a true attack that constantly inflicts damage to Koramana even if it takes time, but it is a truly exhausting type of monster.
“Thank you!! I’ll finish it, so come back quickly and get your reward.”
“Yes. I looked at the angle once, and although it is difficult, I don’t feel like I can’t win. Next time, I will reduce the time I invest in this aspect.”
“Yes, Shelter Director!! We will also look for ways to strengthen it further!”
Ban Kang-Jun seemed to be very alert, as if scaring him once had an effect.
He felt a little burdened, but the gaze of the people inside Shelter A who was looking at me was even hotter, so he immediately turned his head and widened the distance.
After helping the neighboring shelter to the limit, we returned to our side and inspected the battlefield.
After defeating the boss monster in the evening, our shelter was waiting for my final strike.
Seeing Eun-cheol and Su-ji lying on the floor and gasping for air, it seems that the after-effects of growing to a gigantic size are definitely severe.
Nevertheless, Euncheol burst out in laughter and shook his body convulsively.
[Super Euncheol!! Finally, the seal is lifted!! Kihihihi!]
Even if I didn’t want to see it, I had no choice but to see it.
Euncheol, who had grown huge, took the irrational step of using a freezing characteristic he called himself Ice Storm, and showed a performance that froze thousands of monsters on the battlefield, even if only for a moment.
Even Korama, who was momentarily strengthened by that momentum, lost his gaze.
I was worried about the aftereffects, but looking at my current condition, it seemed like I could endure it.
‘Is that what talent is…?’
At some point, I only focused on freezing, and when I saw Euncheol, who had become a freezing magician himself, I clicked my tongue.
Jump-jump-jump-
I activated abundance by blowing off the head of a laughing saint.
[Abundance]
Shelter durability: 86,222/87,432
Daily supply and demand points: 4,296
<10,377,900P is added due to the shelter effect.>
.
.
.
Points held: 136,149,100
I helped Shelter A and received the first clear reward even though there was a delay of about 20 minutes.
‘I know that the difference between us and second place is huge.’
Thanks to Lara, the durability of the shelter is now approaching 90,000 units.
Although the outer castle was completely destroyed, thanks to this, the durability of the shelter was barely damaged, and the supply and demand points increased to 500 units.
Now we can feed more than 100 people.
‘Still, it’s not enough.’
At that moment, I looked at the people crowding around the neighboring shelter.
But she immediately withdrew her gaze.
As I learned from Ban Kang-jun, let’s only think about my people.
“This time [Storm] Was a real hit!”
As we reached the shelter moat, we heard Kahi’s excited voice.
It seems that he was greatly stimulated by the experience of driving monsters with gusts of wind and annihilating them by hitting them with God’s wrath one after another.
‘The scope was wider than I thought, and I was able to gain time while being dragged to the designated location. It’s a good trait in many ways.’
I posted an evaluation of the characteristic blast and decided to purchase all of the items that only 5 people had purchased.
.
.
.
3 Hours later, stage 37 began.
If you combine the people in our shelter and Shelter A, a total of nearly 400 people were staring at one place.
I also did not tear through the crack in advance and just watched the portal rising up to the sky spit out something and disappear.
And the sighs that poured out all at once spread through the air of the land where everything had disappeared.
“That’s a good thing.”
There was really no solution when the number of Koramana increased by two or three, but fortunately only one came out.
She probably only has her specs and characteristics upgraded like a fallen saint.
But the reason she added a proviso was that it was at least.
“It’s gotten too big, you crazy people…”
The strengthened Koramana was already bigger than our monster, but 20% of the time she was summoned in a larger size.
The two monsters, which had become so large, were positioned with their backs to each other.
“Why do you have to pose like that?”
In the end, I used [Blitz] From the beginning, and even added Kim Hyun-ah’s [Musou] To capture our boss monster and expand our power.
“Come here!! You dirty monster…!”
I grabbed its largest stem and pulled it to the other side, but surprisingly, it dragged me along.
“Because my strength is close to 9000…”
I still had no idea how much my power could be displayed based on the numbers.
Seeing how he was being torn off by the roots and dragged away without being able to overcome my strength even though he was resisting with all his might, it seemed like a good idea to try the strengthened Koramana.
