I Am the Only Non-Returner - I Am the Only Non-Returner chapter 122
122 – An event you don’t want to miss
Lulu, Lingling, and Ban Kang-jun are all there, but I want one too, my subordinate.
“What are you thinking?”
“Huh? Oh, you think I want to have a subordinate too?”
“Cook- Do you want me to lend it to you?”
Grunt-
“hehehehe, the fangs are really long… It’s okay, I’ll look for it personally.”
“hehehehe, okay then.”
After thinking about what to do for a moment, I focused my magic on my eyes and ears.
Then we heard the sounds of battle far away from our shelter.
As I narrowed down the scope a bit, I was able to detect the approximate size.
A medium-sized shelter between our shelter and A shelter.
Monsters crowded around the shelter.
There were about 30 minutes left until the end of the battle, but there was no point in counting the time anymore.
The screams of people crying out for help inside the shelter echoed dizzyingly, and something huge was hitting the shelter mercilessly.
‘I saw this place for no reason. ‘Clear failed.’
Soon the shelter collapsed, and the people remaining inside melted into a sphere and flew away.
Screaming as I was torn apart by terrible pain.

‘Phew – other places… This place might be worth seeing.’
This place was a little larger than the shelter I saw a while ago.
It was a long line of shelters along the river, but it seemed strange that it was shaped like that because the shelters could not expand into the river.
And the monsters seemed reluctant to enter the river.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of water at all, but he seemed to instinctively avoid it because his movements were slow.
‘The location is good, and the upgrade status of the sphere looks good.’
All the most likely villains had already been killed, leaving only the last giant tree monster, Koramana.
Too doo doo doo-
Quaaa!
Some people have the ability to drop things like meteorites from the sky, and there are people who fight with wings.
Some people summoned things that looked like plants to fight.
Nevertheless, the damage to the monster’s body seemed minimal.
Coramana, which was briefly attacked and cowered, quickly recovered and continued to spread its stems in all directions.
– How can you suddenly increase your stamina like this!!
– It’s a really sh*t game!!
It seemed to be struggling with Koramana, whose specifications had increased significantly.
However, Koramana’s physical strength was not invincible, and the players’ strength was not low enough to fight alone.
Koramana is slowly losing momentum.
But time was also passing quickly.
20 Minutes, 10 minutes, 5 minutes.
With less than 3 minutes left, all the monsters on the ground were finally killed.
But people’s expressions were dark.
– Did he crawl into the water again?! Where are you? Find it quickly, what are you doing with your search skills?!
– I wasn’t meant to settle in such a sick place!!
– Who liked it because it was well established, you bastard!!
In the end, it took a while to attack the river with the magic power that had been squeezed out.
People raise their arms and cheer with joy.
The magical power was gathered from exactly there.
The picture that would appear in a few minutes was obvious anyway.
If you start wondering what to do for the next stage, it will be a mess again.
‘It’s not always good to be next to a river.’
I nodded and thought about how to proceed to the next stage.
Should we use Polymorph right from the start and blow everything up?
But she wasn’t sure if she could turn into that dragon again.
‘I have a rough idea of how to do it, but I feel like I shouldn’t do it right now…’
Perhaps it was because my body was still under a lot of strain, but when I looked into my body through insight, it seemed like a good idea to rest for a turn on stage 39. If you use it, there will be a situation where you will never be able to use it at stage 40.
.
.
.
Time passed quickly and stage 39 began.
What has changed compared to stage 38…
There was none.
It was strange.
‘This feels uncomfortable.’
Of course, like the previous stage, the specifications have increased significantly.
However, looking at the fact that the death toll fell to 20 million at level 38, it should be said that most shelters around the world have exceeded the level of not being able to clear simply because the monsters’ specs increase.
Nevertheless, tens of millions of deaths would occur, but it was strange considering the early and mid stage 30, when hundreds of millions of people were dying.
And it seemed like it wasn’t just my idea.
– Why does it feel so strong?
– It feels a bit normal, late 30s?
– What kind of monster are you laying on the floor to send out in stage 40? hahahaha.
– Can I go out and try freezing it?
– Euncheol, don’t show up and stay in the shelter, the cooldown for gigantism hasn’t even come back.
Everyone had already lost interest in this stage.
What awaits us in the next stage?
Our anxiety was growing, but we steadily deleted the enemies on the stage one by one.
There was no giantization or polymorph, but there was no major problem in clearing it.
And during the stage, an interesting message came to mind.
– It is connected to resident population hydrostatics and mantra.
– Would you like to borrow the characteristic of hydrostatics [Crime Guard] As a mantra? Y/N
“No.”
aaah! Come on!
Although I was frantically cutting down the tree trunk, I burst out laughing.
Maybe it’s because the message came up so suddenly.
“My uncle trusts me as much as Eun-chae?”
It was hard to believe, but it had been over a year since we had been together, and how many difficulties had we overcome?
I thought that might be the case.
However, the problem is that crime prevention team has become a useless trait at present.
Rather, it is an ability that will shine again when other people are received in the shelter after clearing.
Moreover, the time of the ability that I can borrow and use as a mantra is limited, and this ability must be activated at all times to do meaningful work.
“It feels like I’m just throwing it away after saying it’s old. I guess there’s nothing bad about it.”
And this meant that there was a possibility of borrowing the characteristics of Eun-cheol, Byeong-cheon, Go Ok-ja, and Ahn Eun-hye.
Whispering – Seogeogeokeuk!
I thought as I cut down the monsters with my sword.
‘Euncheol may be able to do it soon. Go Ok-ja and Ahn Eun-hye may be difficult right now.’
I roughly finished our side and helped with Shelter A.
– Oh… Dragon God…!!
– Please forgive me for the sins I have committed…
– Everyone, please support Eungyeon Shelter Director!
‘Why is it like that…’
It wasn’t to this extent before, but the atmosphere was a bit overly welcoming.
‘I don’t know if I will achieve the second condition of complete domination at this rate.’
I thought as I cut down the trunk of Koramana, which had grown huge after absorbing the tree archer monster.
‘Even if condition 2 is met, if these people don’t die anyway, it doesn’t mean much.’
I nodded and focused on the battle again.
[Arrow of Seorya]
[Flame Cloak]
Because it was a tree, fire attacks worked well on it.
We had fun setting fires and killing monsters for a while.

– Oh, it really sucks.
– Don’t they sell tickets to beating the host?
– If you sell it, I am willing to buy it for 100,000.
People who were doing personal maintenance in the shelter hall were all dissatisfied with the spectator’s insulting message.
I wasn’t paying much attention and was weighing things in my head.
‘This is something you don’t want to miss.’
It’s true that you don’t know what kind of encounter you’ll encounter in the dimensional gap, but since you’ve been screwed once and even the explorers have been caught up recently, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take a break once in a while.
‘If it’s a long event like the desert event I heard about last time, I’ll just go in for a moment after it’s over and just buy a golem and come out.’
As I was gathering my thoughts, I patted the heads of Eunchae and Isabella, who were glaring at each other while snuggling in my arms.
– Raise your hand when it hurts? Don’t they say things like that when you go to the dentist?
– Ahahahaha, that’s right. Even if you raise your hand, it won’t stop. But.
– I’m just trying to find out what kind of condition it is, I’m not trying to make it hurt at all, hehehehe-
– But what kind of event is this? It’s unpredictable, with a title like that.
– Once you raise your hand under certain conditions, are you eliminated?
– Don’t you feel like you’re holding back the pain?
– Ugh… I can’t do it.
Since I decided to participate anyway, I started paying close attention to people’s reactions.
I also ran the simulation in my head for a test that had nuances that tested my patience.
‘I’m not really worried. ‘After all, the event isn’t something that will kill you.’
An hour later.
‘Damn…’
<10 People will be randomly selected from each team. The shelter head will definitely be appointed.>
– Ugh… I’m glad.
– Yes! It’s over then!
– hehehehe… What if I have an older brother?
Among the teams that reached the final test, the rankings are determined by the team that lasted the longest.>
‘It’s roughly as expected. If you look at the status abnormality, it means that it is not just physical pain…’
First of all, the most important thing is the composition of the members.
Our team has a total of 18 people including me, so there are more people being selected.
I was hoping that only the chef couple and Ha-eun, who seemed a bit mentally weak, would be spared.
But.
‘Ha…’
It was the worst combination within the expected range.
