I Am the Only Non-Returner - I Am the Only Non-Returner chapter 48

48 – Spectator’s Warning

“Don’t miss it!”

He turned his fingers into tenkete, wrapped around the shield soldier standing at a distance, pulled him, and threw him back at the wizard like a water swallow.

– hehehehe?!

– Craddangtang!

The wizard, who was hit directly by a shield bottle that flew in a sharp turn to the side, tumbled for a while and got back up, shaking off his head, was already kicking his feet vigorously.

– Pow!

I looked at the short-haired horse for a moment, unable to even scream, and his head exploded.

“hahahaha, did you see this bastard’s magic?”

I could clearly see something flying from the wand.

“Characteristics”

Apprentice Insight (Unique)

– You can check other people’s mana and strength values.

– Gain 2~10P when checking other people’s magical power and strength values.

– Visualize the magic of the demonic beast.

– —————-

– —————-

– The mind’s eye blooms.

“Your trait… Has changed to Apprentice Insight…?”

If it’s just an insight, then what is an insight apprenticeship… I was slowly realizing that I shouldn’t try to understand this trait anymore.

At first, I wondered why I was the only one who had this trait since I was young, and when I started the stage, I thought it was a huge cheat. In fact, some of the benefits from that time have continued to this day.

However, as time passed, my disappointment with the observer’s characteristics grew, and I eventually thought about replacing it, but now it is rapidly evolving.

“I really can’t figure it out.”

“Are you okay?!”

Hongseol approached us before we knew it and asked with her signature chic expression.

“Oh yes, it’s okay. Have the other wizards been sorted out?”

“It looks like there are still a few left, but it will be soon. They are so desperate.”

[I’m glad it looks good today.]

‘Hmm? ‘Thank you for your concern.’

“Let’s finish.”

That’s how the final cleanup work began.

No matter how hard we try, the monsters still have the instinct to attack the shelter, so it was easy to meet the remnants if we moved in the direction of the shelter.

Hongseol must have used up all his magical energy and was heading towards the shelter, hitting the zombies with a low-grade shield.

[I feel great regret at the lack of magical power.]

[I am seriously considering your request to purchase a ring.]

‘I think the same thing. After stage 20, we plan to award rewards based on contribution, so our team’s combat power increase rate decreases compared to the monsters’ combat power increase.’

However, if I filled only key people with equipment in each stage, not only would the points decrease and the efficiency of my asset characteristics decrease, but the equipment would be concentrated on only a small number of people, which would not be good for teamwork.

‘But this… I guess I’ll have to call a meeting. Anyway, from stage 25 onwards, you have to prepare as much as possible for each battle, so it is right to invest in the people who have teamwork and skill and are the most efficient.’

It can’t be helped if some people are dissatisfied with the distribution of equipment to only a few people.

‘It doesn’t seem like anyone would be offended by something like that…’

Because the human mind is unknown…

‘Kahi, Eun-cheol, Hong Seol, Suzy, and Aksh*ta will take priority.’

Suji and Aksh*ta already had enough equipment to survive when they returned to the shelter, but they needed to be more prepared.

‘Suji and Aksh*ta must be protected absolutely. ‘Because they are essential for boss battles.’

Let’s increase the singer’s magical power to increase instantaneous explosive power, and also strengthen his stamina to maintain sphere synchronization for a long time when the equipment is turned on.

Euncheol also focuses on magic power and evasion.

‘Hongseol wants to buy me a new bow, of course, and a mob stone ring… Damn, I thought I saved a lot of points, but he wants to buy equipment while maintaining my combat power at least as much as the previous stage, so it’s tight.’

In order to satisfy my sponsors, it was important to moderately increase my combat power.

I think I’ll probably level up after this stage, but then I’ll have to upgrade the spheres as well.

If something with good characteristics comes up, I have to buy it again…

In the end, the point was the problem.

‘First of all, upgrading the sphere is the top priority. Although Kahi and I have the highest instantaneous destructive power, the total amount of damage inflicted will be overwhelming on the sphere.’

Even now, I could see the blue spheres continuously spewing out fire, to the point where I couldn’t even see the people inside the shelter.

– Pow!

“There are so many small children, should we think about keeping the dimensional gap at 5…”

“Eh? The dimensional gap was expanding to its maximum?”

“Well, these are all experience points. Seeing as they continue to clear first even after expanding to 5, I guess our team is strong.”

‘Of course other people thought it was only expanding to 3. However, after learning the identity of the Great Devil, it was always 5. So, this is how you receive points.’

“Ah… Somehow…”

[I think it has a bold side to it.]

‘Hong Seol? I’d like to know what I look like…’

While I was contemplating whether to just turn off the feature, I had already arrived in front of the shelter.

– Kuooooo!

“Eight!”

– Plop!

The sound of zombies’ heads exploding echoed everywhere, and now even Ahn Eun-hye came out and was hitting the zombies.

‘It’s nice to see them trying to clear things as quickly as possible.’

＜193,350P is added due to the shelter effect.＞

＜···Spectator 1177 advises that protecting your fist with magic is a priority.＞

Points held: 5,309,799

‘Hmm… First of all, the performance worked, but it seemed a bit weak. ‘My heart feels cold as my support decreases.’

And as I was reading down, the eerie warning number 1177 caught my eye.

＜···I warn you that your arm will explode soon.＞

‘f*ck… It wasn’t like it was going to explode, it was really about to explode… Protecting my fist with magical power was a priority…’

Wasn’t my body protected by a shield?

‘Well…Let’s assume 1177 is right and think again…’

But before I knew it, the people at the shelter were surrounding me and everyone was looking at me with worried eyes, so I couldn’t continue thinking.

[I imagine a situation without you and am filled with great fear.]

[I am very sorry for making you suffer alone.]

[I am worried that you have been enduring pain.]

[I sincerely hope that you will not have a hard time anymore.]

[You…]

‘Ahh, the eyes… Characteristic off-off!’

The letters that were blocking my vision disappeared in an instant, and I finally regained my composure. I took a towel from Eunchae, wiped my face, and headed straight to the bathroom.

Shooaaa-

‘Oh, I’m dizzy…’

But whatever the reason, it’s not a bad feeling to have people who care…

I looked at my fist.

“Now it’s not red, it’s purple, like a bruise. Hmm… Protecting with magic is the priority…”

Let’s think again.

“It was strange from the beginning. Creating a shield is based on magic power and stamina, but the shield doesn’t decrease even if you consume magic power, right?”

Shooaaa…

I was lost in thought for a while while taking in the stream of water.

“Is this a different concept? Two things come to mind.”

First of all, the shield prevents damage from other beings, but it cannot prevent damage to yourself, right?

Look at your fist and think about when you hit.

“The magic power circulating within the body is scraped, condensed into a fist, and released at the moment of striking… Bah!”

The moment I hit it, it is emitted and causes damage to me? Isn’t that what it feels like?

“Then, if you first protect your fist with magical power before striking, then it will definitely hurt less when you hit. This is correct. It’s simple when you know it, but if no one tells you, it wouldn’t be easy to come up with this mechanism right away. We’re not with you. “They’re from another world.”

And the shield that creates itself without me being conscious of it… I didn’t create it. So should we assume that someone is putting up a shield? Organizer?

“There must be rules or structures of the game in a world other than mine. Let’s think about it that way. There is no answer. In the end, it would be completely mine to create a phenomenon by consuming either magical power or physical strength.”

But if this happens, problems will arise in future battles.

“If you fight while using magic power to protect your fist as a safety margin, your attack power will be limited…”

For example, if you want to make a 100 attack, you would use 50 magical power to protect your hand. Of course, all the magical energy used to protect it will not be lost…

“As expected, you need to increase your magical power, because the strength and agility that increase your asset value will not produce the same destructive power as an attack in which you invested magical power. Invest in magical energy that amplifies your attack power…”

It’s a pain in the ass. Well, it’s a real mess. If it had been released, it would have gone straight into the coffin.

“First, let’s purchase a mob stone and check whether up to 3 can be applied.”

And the equipment that came out today…

“Ugh… One accessory and one item?… What is this elixir?”

Alchemist Vogt’s Growth Elixir

– An elixir created with great care by Vogt, a disciple of the great alchemist Anabsik, when taken, it raises hidden potential.

All abilities +15 (cannot be applied multiple times)

Price: 510,000P

“Wow… Crazy…”

It’s a sh*tty item, right? Although it is a consumable item.

“It’s a shame I can only buy it once. But the price is crazy, right?”

Should I buy just one for myself?

“It’s not cost-effective, but it’s a good way to increase your stamina… If you spend 500,000 P, my attack power drops by about 40… This increases the total by 60… At least for now. They say it is more efficient than the characteristics of asset owners…”

Where are the accessories?

White Hrakling Earrings

– Status abnormality canceled immediately (5/5)

Price: 75,000P

“Oh…! This is it!”

It is a consumable accessory that can only block 5 times, but when I think of the time I got knocked out, it feels like good value for money.

“This will have to be done by purchasing all five field soldiers.”

But I felt better because I thought of something useful right away.
