I Am the Only Non-Returner - I Am the Only Non-Returner chapter 82
82 – You Can Done Without Me
This is a stage where you gradually reduce your stamina so that he can activate his haste, and the key is whether or not you can last for that period of time.
But.
“You’re going to fail a lot in this stage… This was very difficult. At least there are people who have experienced it once, so we can deal with it.”
There is a difference in degree, but this is a stage where the level of difficulty increases vertically instead of in steps.
It was clear that it would act as a kind of filter.
The stages that were barely holding on will all fall out.
Lulu, who had been staring at the sky with her lips wet, lightly landed on the ground and approached the guy.
“Crrr…”
The Yongin tribe’s skin had become wrinkled as if it had aged rapidly.
Lulu lightly flapped her wings toward the dragon people, and a cluster of brilliantly shining lights enveloped them.
The guy who was unable to resist in any way and was just staring blankly at Lulu sits down and closes her eyes.
– The deteriorated dragon race of speed has become Lulu’s slave.
– The dragon people are stored in Lulu’s subspace.
The guy on his knees turned into a black sphere and flew into the small portal on Lulu’s right shoulder, disappearing.
“······”
“Ohhohohoho!”
She laughed cheerfully, covering her mouth with the back of her hand.
She was still naked and acting like that, and it felt like her mind was being refreshed by the unfamiliarity she felt for the first time in her life.
“Woohohohohohoho!”
“······”
Lulu stood next to me as I was quickly running to the shelter and kept smiling at me.
“Why do you keep smiling?”
“After seeing my power, it’s very interesting to see a deacon who can’t say anything!”
“··· I was a little surprised. He was just so tired. Will he recover?”
“hehehehe, don’t worry. My sub-space also contains healing functions. If you want, I can put you in there too, right?”
“Hmm… I can go in even if I’m not your slave?”
“hehehehe, of course we have to sign a separate contract for that.”
“No… I’ve been feeding you and putting you to sleep, so why should I sign another contract…”
“Ohhohohoho! It’s my heart!”
Pisik-
It was hard on my ears at first, but maybe it was because the tone was good? I looked at the battlefield while listening to Lulu’s words, which I gradually got used to.
“More than you think…”
Even though she returned after spending much more time than usual, her battlefield situation was good.
“Clearing will be enough even without me.”
Except for one mantis hanging on the surface, most of the major forces were close to destruction.
When I felt that the team’s strength had clearly increased, the corners of my mouth naturally rose.
– Come on!
After kicking away the black leopard monster that was giggling and weaving next to me, I tried using the toy I bought earlier.
Let’s activate the Mini Vulcan to a place where there are a lot of fallen black panthers and shield soldiers.
Tu kwa kwa kwa kwakwaang!
A bullet so massive that it was hard to believe it was fired from a small ball exploded in a narrow fan shape, turning the surrounding monsters, including the black panther, into a honeycomb.
“Ho… It might be a surprisingly good value product…?”
Satisfied, I tied the Mini Vulcan ball back to my waist and looked at Lulu who was giggling next to me.
Lulu was surprisingly helpful in battle.
When you spin around and make strange laughing noises, the monsters strangely startle and stop moving.
It became much easier to fight because one direction definitely attracted aggro.
And at the end of the battle, I didn’t forget to prepare for the future by activating [Abundance] At the right time.
[Daily point supply: 798]
Now we have reached the daily point supply for 20 people.
At least the people in our shelter no longer have to worry about starving to death.
I also felt even better because I had taken away one of the characteristics from the black panther.
Rough Claws (Advanced)
– In the wild, the chopped claws viciously tear everything to pieces. The target is no exception, even if it is a shield.
– When damaging the shield, a mark is left. (Possible to overlap)
– When attacking the marked area again, damage increases by 40%.
“Oh! I thought it was a crappy thing just by looking at the name! It’s much more useful than something like [Flooding] Stolen from a dragon, right?”
When I activated my rough claws, long, faintly flickering red claws appeared from the tips of my fingers.
“It seems like the magic consumption is low… I guess I made a fortune?”
Unlike me, whose tension was at its peak, Eunchae, who came to wipe my face, was full of worry.
I guess it bothers me that the shield is fainter than usual.
Since she already approached me during her lunch, I plan to take the opportunity at night to make up for what she showed me in the morning.
Of course, I don’t think that having a relationship is a panacea, but I think that just lying down together and having a quiet conversation would solve a lot of problems.
Seeds of Satiety 167/500
With one Seed of Satiety already harvested, the value reached 167 again.
When I entered the shelter and checked, Hong Seol also filled 500 points in this stage and secured one seed.
Everything went smoothly, including Lulu’s abilities.
<1,800,000P is added due to the shelter effect.>
Points held: 18,914,873

“······”
Once the number of deaths was confirmed, silence came to the shelter.
It was a shocking number, but I had roughly expected it, so I quietly went back to my room and checked Lingling’s message.
Ringling: Doggie~! Have you seen a huge decrease in deaths? Not even half as much as last time! Maybe the number of people who break through the final stage will be in the hundreds of millions!
“That’s about as much as they gave me. No matter what, it’s a death game, so this is it.”
Dog: I saw the numbers. That’s how much it has decreased. I’m shocked.
Lingling: Really? Anyway, this stage was also leisurely! I guess that was the case too? We easily defeated the weasel party as they held up quite well against the dragon!
“The weasel comes out as soon as we can forget about it. Isn’t it amazing that even a few people were able to withstand the dragon race? Did you even get some new decent equipment?”
Ringling: No matter what, he is a guy who definitely fulfills his role as a field commander. Oh. I heard that the weasel wants to hang out with that girl from the doggy team again?
Ah… Now that I think about it, Hyuna also said she wanted to join, but I ended up taking over the Daejangjeon.
Dog: Now, I’m going to take part in the grand battle.
Lingling: Oh really?! I want to see the puppy! Let me ask you a question!
3 Minutes later.
Ringling: I won’t do it~! ㅠ^ㅠ I heard that during a punch event before, you felt the shock wave created by the doggo? They said that the person who created the shock wave would definitely be number one. That’s right? He says he doesn’t want to deal with such a monster.
“Were you nearby?… He’s got good sense.”
I wanted to join you at least once, but it’s a shame.
Anyway, let’s get to the point.
My expectations dropped the more I texted, but since I decided to do it, I guess I’ll give it a try.
Dog: Ringling.
Lingling: Huh?!
Doggo: Do you want to come to our shelter?
Ringling: Ah…
When I think of her panicking when I saw her text from somewhere far away, I feel a little cheerful about her.
After a while, her reply came.
Lingling: Thank you so much!! I didn’t know you thought of me like that! But… I can’t abandon the countless people who follow me now! There are dozens of people I hate to death, but there are also more good people than that. Sorry…
“Well, it’s as expected… But it’s still a bit annoying.”
After sighing briefly, I sent a text message.
Dog: There’s nothing to be sorry about. If you change your mind, please feel free to tell me. Because you are always welcome.
Lingling: Hmm… Doggy ㅠㅠ I’m so touched.
Tuk-
I threw my smartphone on the bed and gathered my thoughts.
From the next stage, it is unknown territory.
Still, the reason I’m not too worried is because I’m so well prepared.
“Is this the only store list that is useful?”
Marman’s Vitality Ring
– Immediately recovers 150 consumed magic power. (Once per stage)
Price: 165,000P
A ring with just the right performance for poor cost-effectiveness.
“Me, Kahi, Seol, and Euncheol… One each…”
If you have this, you can also use the singer trait twice.
And.
Price for 3 pieces: 12,500,000P
– Resistance to all status abnormalities +30%
– Attack power +100% when attacking with the right arm
– Chaos power +200
– You can now force open the dimensional gap once a day.
“If you buy it right away, your abilities will drop too much. Still, if this trend continues, you will be able to purchase it soon. But if you force open a dimensional gap… Will you be able to enter even if you are not on the stage?”
I didn’t know the merits of going there yet, so it didn’t really hit me.
“There was a store… But I don’t know. Since I leveled up above that, I upgraded the sphere-.”
Specific performance improvements that were not possible during the last upgrade because upgrades were not possible.
Blue Sphere+
– Attack speed/attack power +70%, explosion range +40%
– Synchronized spheres can fire howitzers at designated enemies.
– At least 1 out of 5 shots is sure to hit.)
Do you want to upgrade? Y/N (Cost: 20,000)
“K-As expected, the sphere is still a boon. The cost increase is not significant.”
-20,000P
It’s been a while since I tried a sphere upgrade.
Like last time, there was only one more red gem-like thing, but there was no major change in appearance.
Blue Sphere++
– Attack speed/attack power +100%, explosion range +50%
– Synchronized spheres can fire howitzers at designated enemies.
– At least 2 out of 5 shots are sure to hit.)
“The attack speed and attack power have been increased by 30%, the explosion range has been increased by 10%, and the accuracy has been increased by 1 shot. It is a bit disappointing that there are no new functions, but the numerical increase is much larger than the last time.”
There was no need to worry about purchasing this.
All remaining 57 spheres are also being upgraded.
– 1,140,000P
Points held: 17,014,873
“Shall we continue like this for the next stage? I want to taste [Asset Price] Mulberry for the first time in a while.”
