I Am the Only Non-Returner - I Am the Only Non-Returner chapter 52

52 – Good Event

(Sister is noisy…)

“Oh, was Lulu your older sister?”

Anyway, the shelter I saw earlier looked quite dangerous.

“There’s about 15 minutes left, but it’s going to be hard…”

Although several of the Chimera’s arms were broken off, there did not appear to be any major damage to her head or body.

“There are only so many spheres and the upgrade level seems low, so I wonder if there will be a deal…”

And there were still about 30 shield soldiers remaining, blocking Shelter’s ball attack from reaching the Chimera’s legs.

“On the contrary, since I lost a few arms, I think my movements have gotten better, but that chimera.”

He moved like a hundred executioners.

Attack with minimal movement, strike a ball with a sharp blade, and encourage people to approach.

“It’s difficult… If you go beyond stage 22, two or three of those things will appear… Without the Aksh*ta trait…”

It’s only been a while since I decided to take a break today, but my mind is getting complicated again.

“There are two large demon beast spheres on the roof of the shelter. Is this a higher version of the premium shelter? I’m a bit envious of that.”

Still, no one went out and fought against him.

“It looks like almost all of the shields have been removed. What’s with that crazy defense?”

The hard body, which was not damaged at all by the flame cloak, did not retreat at all even when attacked by the sphere.

Unlike us, who die when the shield comes off, that chimera’s body itself was incredibly strong.

“They start pounding on the shelter… I’m screwed. What are you doing that doesn’t come out? Did you just decide to all die together?”

Someone should have come out and aggro, but no one came out, perhaps because they saw people being cut to death in an instant by that guy.

In the end.

Beee

The shelter began to break down into pieces.

“Those idiots are really… Making me dizzy.”

Well, I enjoyed it anyway, thanks to you. I need to remember it well and make some plans in advance with people.

(I want to see something other than those cheap toys…)

(Ah… It’s coming… I’m falling asleep… Omnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyomnyol

“Please turn off the light, uncle.”

“Ah huh huh, this is refreshing again.”

When I came down from the rooftop, there was a cake prepared.

‘I was just skimming through the store list and I didn’t even notice the cake. Is this a celebration of clearing stage 20?

Because it was still early afternoon, the shelter was still bright even when the lights were turned off, but the candles on the cake still created quite an atmosphere.

Gahi stood in the center of the shelter hall, cleared her throat for a moment, and said,

“Not only is there a stage clear today, but it’s also our Eunchae’s birthday. Please congratulate everyone! Wow!~~”

‘Oh? Really?’

“Waaa~!”

“Ah~ It was Eunchae’s birthday~”

“Congratulations~!”

The early members were clapping as if they already knew, and those who came late also smiled brightly and congratulated Eunchae.

“Thank you…”

Eunchae was very embarrassed, her cheeks red, and she walked towards the cake in the center of her table.

“You have to blow it all at once, Eunchae~”

“Ugh…”

Whoa!

– Congratulations, sister!

– Happy birthday~

As soon as the fire in the two candles went out, people continued to say congratulatory messages, and as soon as the kitchen lights came on, people gathered with chopsticks toward the cake.

“I’ll give it to you in a paper cup here.”

I was staring at the cake in a paper cup, then my eyes moved to the people who were talking noisily.

‘It really seems like a lie… I was fighting monsters just a little while ago and I’m like this… What can I say… The everyday scenery feels rather unrealistic…’

“What are you thinking?”

“Huh? Oh, I just didn’t think anything. Happy birthday.”

“hehehehe, it feels weird to receive birthday wishes in these circumstances.”

“··· But it’s not bad, right?”

“··· Yes.”

Eunchae nodded loudly, looked at the cake in the paper cup for a moment, and then began to taste it little by little.

“It’s so sweet! Don’t you think it tastes better if you buy it here with points?”

“hehehehe, I’ve thought about that too. It tastes just like it was freshly made.”

“Ugh… I guess someone has made it for me?”

“That can’t be true hahahaha, it’s just a feeling.”

“Aha, hehehe… I wish it was like this all the time…”

“Real…”

I think it’s the first time I’ve had cake since I was in the military, when my classmate’s girlfriend bought it and ate it.

‘In fact, I feel like I’m eating better now. It’s really funny.’

“No, the bakery there is really delicious-“

“Oh, I know! It’s a new moon, right?”

“I have to buy another cake-“

“Don’t spirits eat things like this?”

“So, on my birthday-“

As we gathered together in groups of three and a half to talk about before the world was destroyed, a message came to mind.

·········

The good atmosphere suddenly turned into a Siberian plain.

‘Nearly 300 million people died, is this a good thing? Then how many people died in the first round?’

“Hmph! In times like these, it’s okay to have a drink! If we have one more event, we’ll rest very comfortably, so once that’s over, let’s all have a drink.”

My uncle spoke in an angry voice for the first time in a long time.

“It’s so good! I was holding back, and I think soju would be very sweet.”

It looks like Byeongcheon likes to drink too.

“hahahaha, have you ever tried drinking soju that tastes like toothpaste?”

“Huh? Is there something like that?”

Seeing my uncle rummaging through the refrigerator like a bad boy made me feel cheerful, and the temperature that had subsided began to rise again.

“I’ll make the snacks for you. Would you like some dry snacks and soup?”

The soup is good, I like clear soup…

“Please give me something spicy.”

Chesh…

As I was killing time watching the preparations for the drinking contest, I received a message from Lingling.

Lingling: Ha! I’ve finally reached 20! There’s a long way to go, but I feel like I want to relax and rest. I guess I should have just played stage 21. Whether they fight, fight, or support each other… I wonder if I can hold on from now on. Anyway, Doggo had a hard time~

‘He keeps going through the stages without resting, so just thinking about that makes him exhausted.’

Dog: Because in the end, the path is the same. There is a 21-stage risk in crowded places like yours, so your choice would be the best. What I’m more curious about is, did you get a reward for killing the boss monster this time?

Lingling: Yes, we were the second.

Second? So where is the first one? Is it Feynman?

Dog: Oh, that’s right, we were the third time. Your shelter has a lot of strong ranged single dealers?

Lingling: Yes~ I won this time! hahahaha! We have a few ranged dealers on our team. But it’s not like they delete it right away as soon as it comes out. This time, I was lucky and received the 2nd place reward.

‘Hmm… Surprisingly, there are not many long-distance single dealers?”

Lingling: We are using stage 30 as a standard, so we select people accordingly, so there are a lot of melee fighters. Also, I wonder if a ranged dealer is really necessary if it renders him incapable of combat. It takes a while for resistance to start to rise, but…

They said it was chosen according to 30… Does this mean that stage 30 is not a stage where you face one powerful enemy, but a large number of enemies? If you think about it that way, it would be right not to hire many people with characteristics like Kahi.

‘There’s no need to say hello to Lingling, right? ‘If time stops as people expect.’

Ringling: Are you playing stage 21?

Doggo: Yes.

Linglin: I see…

Doggo: It will probably be over when I wake up.

Linglin: I hope so. You’re not going to reply just because it’s been a year, right?

Doggo: That won’t happen, so don’t worry.

How much information can I get from you, so I can forget you? It’s also fun.

Tiing-!

＜00:03:00＞

– What kind of event do they always hold like this without any build-up?

– I wonder how much the compensation will be.

“Choose three people for three minutes…”

– Isn’t it obvious that there are three of us?

People looking at me at the same time as Byeong-cheon Yoon said.

“I’ll go with Kahi and Hong Seol.”

Like Byeongcheon said, it’s obvious. 3 People

“This isn’t going to be a 3-on-3 fight, right? I said it was a good event earlier!”

“Well, how can we believe what they say? We can’t rule out that method either.”

First, the three people gathered together and moved to the center of the shelter.

“Have you got all your equipment?”

Yes-

– What is this all of a sudden…

‘That’s right.’

“Oh, eat one of these and go! I just made it roughly.”

As she swallowed the small rice ball given to her by Chef Jeong Jeong, her mother’s heart trait was activated.

mana: 316 (+21) (+110)

When I saw that my magic level had risen by 21, I clenched my fists without realizing it.

The value of the mother’s heart trait was once again raised, and the conditions of Kahi and Hongseol were examined.

‘As expected, it’s Hong Seol. ‘He has an enviable personality.’

Wooow!

After a moment of feeling the strange sensation of my body being folded several times with the countdown, I suddenly came to my senses and opened my eyes.

“······Monster…”

I saw all kinds of people crowded around the outside of the huge amphitheater and a humanoid monster standing alone in the center of the stadium.

The monster had two long arms hanging down haphazardly on the ground, a huge torn mouth, a snub nose, and eyes that had degenerated into dots. The back of its head, which was long and stretched backwards like an alien, was jumping around and bouncing around.

It is about 180cm tall, has a very smooth, streamlined, light purple body and, crucially, a very thick shield covering its body.

“··· Surely you don’t want to fight something like that…”

As I reached stage 20, I had an instinctive feeling.

“I don’t think I can beat that even if everyone here attacks it…”

For some reason, I had such a strong intuition.

“It’s a good event…”

Gulp-

If that guy takes even one step, an explosive tension fills the vast circular stadium, as if a massacre will occur.

Shock!

With just one word uttered by the man in a heavy voice, it felt like the blood in his body was rapidly freezing.

‘The organizer…’
