I Am the Only Non-Returner - I Am the Only Non-Returner chapter 78

78 – Into the Portal

“The turtle scorpion, which activates the cannon as soon as it is summoned, is the top priority! Next is the mantis! It’s up to me or Hongseol to kill it. Whether it’s freezing or sleeping, it’s up to me and Hongseol to kill it. Let’s just stop them from attacking anyone!”

Yep!

Yes!

“Just ignore the guy on top of the black leopard. Because his spear attack power is poor. Gahi uses his trait on the frozen mantis. Even if he can’t kill it right away, the priority is to make sure it hits it.”

“I understand!”

I decided not to pay attention to the black panthers and first catch those who specialized in hitting shelters.

.

.

.

Boom! Bang! Bang!

Puff puff puff puff!

Keeek!

Grumble! Chaa-!

From the ground to the air.

The constant sound of artillery fire and a tearing sound.

“One, two, three, four. They are increasing one by one without any variation.”

Now the number of giant mantis chimeras has increased to four, closing the distance from all directions.

“I get used to seeing you guys too.”

– Grrr?!

Kwahiah ah ―――!

After drilling a huge hole in the center of the mantis monster’s head, it ran along the outer edge again.

As the maximum mana increased, there was no longer any need to cut it into small pieces and try to hit it efficiently.

“hahahaha! It’s leisure! It’s a pattern of letting your guard down and getting hit by magic…?”

Kwaja Jajajak-!

When a crack spread in the air and ice crystals appeared, I immediately activated [Quick Step] And ran away.

As the ice spread where I was, ice crystals about twice the size of my body were formed.

A wizard who uses freezing will be added starting from this stage.

“I already received information from the returnees!”

I was very anxious that the next stage was the last time I heard this information in advance, but that will be resolved by me in the next stage.

It seems that Go Okja’s disorder has been activated as the positions of the monsters are chaotically reversed.

I busily scanned Pohola, a winged monster who was confused as she suddenly landed on the ground, and blew her head off with a magic blade.

Heist failed!

The robbery failed…

.

.

The heist was successful!

“Oh?! Yes! That’s right!”

There was a spontaneous cheer as if a gamer had succeeded in gacha.

Mana Friendliness (Intermediate)

– Mana exists everywhere. She enters a world of mana that she has never seen, touched, or felt, and increases the recovery of her magical power.

– Magic recovery +15%

“Wow! It’s so good even though it’s intermediate level! Wow? I can already feel it.”

With the current magic power recovery, it seemed like the [Magic Blade] Using her hair could be maintained even if it was fired once a second.

“Why not actually try it?”

I pulled out the hairs one by one and threw them at the monsters at a reasonable distance.

Shut up!

Let’s go!

Now that his skill level has increased, he was able to cut her neck by blowing her hair horizontally instead of standing it up.

“hahahahaha! This is fun!”

I think it would be good to change my mood if I occasionally fire off long-distance attacks like this.

However, there was a fatal problem with this attack.

“I can’t keep pulling her hair out.”

You can fire all your magic power, but it consumes a lot of magic power, so you can’t fire continuously.

Eventually, even though the mana increased by 1000, it still felt like it was not enough.

[God’s Wrath] And a punch filled with magic power, a magic blade, freezing, and even a mobile device.

There were too many places where magical power could be used, and the magic barrel had clear limits.

“Well, if it’s like this…”

Seeds of Satiety 500/500

Nevertheless, the effect of the 1000 mana increase was very significant.

Even though there are still monsters left, the seeds of satiety have already been filled.

Immediately after confirming that all the seeds were full, someone approached the mantis monster, whose lower body was frozen and was swinging its hands in the air, and hugged its legs.

“This has a good length and fits perfectly.”

Now, I had enough strength to swing it even while holding its leg, so I held it tightly and lifted it up and swung it wide to the side.

Pubububububuk!

“Equipment picked up on the road. Ice club Mantis. Mmm!”

The effect of the ice club Mantis was amazing.

With each swing, dozens of shield soldiers were thrown away and the formation was scattered.

There were also people who exploded and died immediately after being stabbed in the head.

Sometimes, there were those who were cut off cleanly by the mantis’ sharp hand knives.

But not long after, the Ice Mantis Sword suddenly broke.

It’s unfortunate, but it looks like our companionship with the praying mantis will end here.

It is also difficult.

“Chaos, I don’t know what this is for… I don’t think there’s much difference in physical strength either.”

Apart from the increase in points and physical ability, I don’t feel any changes.

“Hmm, is this cloudy water…?”

A gray baseball-sized sphere emerged from the shattered body of a mantis.

“Ugh… You want me to eat this? Damn it…”

Just looking at it, it wasn’t a good visual for looking after your body.

Gulp-

I quickly put it in my mouth before I could resist it any further.

“······ I’m glad it’s tasteless.”

Chaos +100

“Oh… You’re giving 100 to the mantis? It’s the same as 1 piece of full armor, right?”

It wasn’t a comparison since it created a value that didn’t exist in full armor in the first place, but it was still surprising.

They didn’t even give me the turtle scorpion, but the praying mantis seemed to be of some quality.

“Still, the change you can feel… Hmm?”

All the monsters had escaped and a lonely, waving portal caught my eye.

“··· Something a little different?···”

I tilted my head and approached the portal.

“Now that I think about it, I never even thought about approaching the portal.”

Anyone who wants to get close to this ominous oscillating thing would definitely be out of their mind.

5M, 3m, 1m

Wooow ㅡ

“······”

The distance you can reach just by stretching out your arms.

As if possessed by something, I slowly placed my hand on the portal.

Then.

– Would you like to enter the dimensional gap? Y/N

“··· Ah, this… I somehow feel like I’m going to be f*cked…”

Instinct in Insight rang a warning bell.

This place is still dangerous.

For a moment, the people at the shelter and the babies passed through my mind.

When you feel like you should turn around and try to distance yourself.

– Enter the dimensional gap.

The portal swallowed me.

.

.

.

‘··· Where the f*ck are we…’

Darkness where you can’t even see the fingers right in front of your eyes.

And the sound of something constantly rolling around.

‘I have to see something to do anything.’

Tiring-!

– Would you like to use the Chaos Store? Y/N

‘······ Use.’

– There is a total of 1 type available for purchase with the current chaos.

1. Vision +1 Price: 10

‘f*ck you. It’s amazing, really. Are you doing business here too?’

Chaos: 190(-10)

With a shallow sigh, I purchased the view.

Then, my field of vision expanded to the point where I could see the number of fingers in a place where I couldn’t even see an inch in front of me.

‘It’s not enough…’

Chaos: 100(-90)

After purchasing 9 additional vision points, only then did I begin to see the surrounding scenery.

Where I was was a small protrusion protruding from the wall above a huge circular cavity.

‘Crazy…’

The scene unfolding below is literal.

‘Hell…’

Ominous dark red flames were swirling everywhere, and it was full of creatures wearing restraints and walking in a row.

Countless gray spheres flew through the sky, filling all directions, and landed on the ground one by one.

Chaos: 99(-1)

‘Holy sh*t… Your chaos level goes down just by staying still, right?’

When I looked at the sphere that landed again, it slowly liquefied and then began to take shape.

‘Suin?···’

A beautiful woman with cute pink bunny ears appeared.

And then a monster with a familiar shape began to approach the man.

Klik- Klik-

‘Executioner… Why is that bastard here?’

The executioner, a terrible montage with sharp blades wrapped around his body like a vertical hulauf, was rolling a circular blade.

As soon as the executioner took his place in front of the rabbit beast, something like a hologram appeared.

Planet- 20344

Poneta Herlin (Rabbit Man)

– Made a great contribution in defeating the demon army that invaded the Candela Continent.

– Hero Jin’s first wife.

Stamina: 78

mana: 3956

Strength: 104

Agility: 476

‘······ What is that?’

It’s as if one person’s life has been condensed into a very simple game character.

I was staring blankly, wondering what on earth this plane was doing, but to my surprise, the executioner spoke up.

– Poneta Herlin

– ··· Yes ···

– Go to Chimera!

– ······

‘If it’s a chimera… Something like a praying mantis?’

The rabbit prisoner, who responded helplessly to the executioner’s actions in a daze, had no life whatsoever, like a stuffed toy with a broken string.

‘Even though she contributed to defeating the demon army and is the first wife of a hero named Jin… Are they treated like this?’

Once again, the hero Rosherdin came to mind, and I saw that hundreds of millions of people were going through the same process as the rabbit prisoner and were walking around wearing restraints.

‘Well, there’s no such thing as good people going to heaven or anything like that.’

And then, on the other side, dimly visible, I saw the figure of the execution squad leader who had made me experience the fear of death for the first time.

Some of the creatures wearing restraints were dragged in front of the execution team leader and began to be chopped into small pieces with huge hammers.

‘It’s a trait similar to swinging wildly, that too…’

I felt like I was suffocating from the air that was increasingly constricting my breathing.

When you need to get out of this place quickly, but you can’t think of a way, you start to feel impatient.

Quaaa!

A huge impact sound was heard, and the ceiling of a cave large enough to accommodate hundreds of millions of criminals collapsed.

“Herlin!!! Did these f*cking bastards turn around!”

When I heard a familiar Korean double curse and quickly raised my head, there was a man with black hair who fell to the ground at an incredibly fast speed and tore the executioner who was dragging the rabbit beast to pieces without a trace.

“Wow…It’s Jo…”

The intimidation I felt from the broken Rosherdin I saw during the Punch Machine was like a child’s joke compared to that person.

When I think to myself, are the spectators of that level?

“Hey. What are you doing again, you idiot?”

“Hi!”

Before I knew it, a black-haired man was holding a rabbit beast and was next to me, putting his arm around my shoulder.

‘Did you kill all the executioners before you knew it?!’

I told it like it was because I thought I would be killed if I made a mistake.

“Well, I, I was dragged in while playing a defense game…”

“Huh? I couldn’t believe it, but you’re really Korean?”

The man, whose face lit up as if he had met an extinct creature, asked me various questions for a long time.

I told you as concisely as possible what I had experienced up to this point.

“There’s so much crap going on… A defense game? It might not be the same place as the Earth I was on…”

The man who was pondering something looked at me and said.

“I used an expedient to get in, but that only goes so far. I don’t know why, but you seem qualified, so find two keys.”

“Two keys? And what qualifications do you have…?”

“It’s going to get filtered anyway, so don’t ask about that. The key keyword is ‘laziness and domination.’ Find it yourself. And solve it quickly. If I had the qualifications, I would have swept them away a long time ago, but how long am I going to have to be like this? ···”

Then he said that he had to go because time was up, turned around and walked away, then suddenly came closer again and threw something to him, telling him to take this with him.

Fangs of the evil dragon Atleriya

– Fangs filled with the energy of Atleriya, the evil dragon that terrified the Continent of Candela for years.

– Known as the highest grade material when synthesizing equipment.

“······ Hey, hey! Can we meet again next time?”

I opened my mouth with difficulty and asked the black-haired man, and he answered as if I was asking such a boring question.

“I’ve connected you, so I’ll come to you when you need me. Next time we meet, please grow up. Don’t be weak.”

“······”
