I Am the Only Non-Returner - I Am the Only Non-Returner chapter 99
99 – Adult Child
“But did you lose all the items?”
“Can’t you tell the size just by looking at it, Euncheol?”
“Still, I think there’s a point…”
“Hmm… This is a significant increase in power, but as the number of monsters increased by two, the number of monsters will also increase, so we need to make sure not to panic.”
Still, the team members were calmly discussing their opinions on clearing the stage as the top priority.
Even if it happened suddenly, we have experienced too much to shake us.
“Rather than that, what should I do with that saint?”
“I heard it briefly earlier. I heard you act like a child?”
“A child? Hmm…”
Obviously, when I just came to my senses, I spoke properly… Is it because my memory was not properly fragmented while I was unconscious?
“Let’s wait and see. If it doesn’t work out…”
But without saying anything, I walked towards the people at the neighboring shelter who had been waiting outside.
Surprisingly, all five neighboring shelter directors came back alive.
When the Ringling team collapsed, I felt like something was wrong for a moment, but when I thought of the grandmother and the golem army in Shelter A, I understood at a glance.
The five of them seemed to have become quite close, and were having an in-depth discussion about the results of each other’s battle.
“When you put her to one side, how about throwing that punch at her grandmother?”
“Who plays the role of the herd?”
“I’ll do it, monsters seem strangely drawn to mithril.”
“I’ll give you a buff then. I’ll adjust the movement speed, attack speed, attack power, shield, and 100% critical hit to whatever you want.”
“I don’t think there are many monsters that are drawn to Grandma’s Shelter. We are far away, so it won’t be easy for us to participate in that operation.”
“There’s nothing we can do about those who can’t do it…”
“Or do you want to talk about that again?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Why are our five teams combining into one…?”

“Look, I think you have to be very careful about that.”
“But if we combine them, there will definitely be synergy.”
“It is difficult to predict whether there will be synergy.”
“Oh! Hello!”
“Thank you for your hard work!”
When I cleared my throat, they, who were preoccupied, recognized me and greeted me all at once.
“That’s amazing, Shelter Director. You cleared it a few hours faster than us…”
“There was someone who commanded the dragon people, and it was amazing.”
“Heulheul… I don’t know if the space on the dagger is being put to good use.”
Everyone said one word at a time, but their inner feelings were in a contradictory state: they were satisfied with their current situation, but they also had great anxiety.
“It’s nice to see everyone alive. This time, I’ll give you a request related to equipment for the point.”
As soon as I finished speaking, people quickly contacted me and passed on the point.
+1,500,000P
300,000 P per person.
‘hehehe…’
My body itched with satisfaction that I couldn’t hide.
“Please bring a list of all equipment related to stamina and stamina. It doesn’t matter if the cost-effectiveness is low.”
– Ah… Did he have stamina…
– Let’s go and find it right away!
– The thing that comes to my mind immediately…
– I know all the equipment, but there is nothing related to physical strength. Sorry.
‘If I can’t decide, I have no choice but to buy this.’
Rupantara Belt of Joy
– Converts 1% of the consumed magic power into stamina. (Once per stage)
Price: 425,000P
It is a belt that is almost the only physical fitness equipment registered on the exchange, but the price is high compared to the increase, so I did not buy it.
But he still maintained that position.
‘The price has dropped a lot?’
I don’t know if the price dropped because a lot of it was sold, or if buyers were turned away by the price being set too high compared to its capabilities, but it was worth buying.
And after a while.
Four reported that they did not have the relevant equipment, but one did.
The ring written down on paper by the director of E Shelter, who had no presence, had quite a refreshing ability.
Ring of Heat Source
– Stamina increases by 1 according to the number of times you receive support from spectators.
Price: 69,500P
“··· Let’s buy them. Just two.”
“Yes, yes!”
No sooner had he finished speaking than he handed me two rings, I paid for them, and looked at the items I received carefully.
It was just a gold ring with a plain pattern, so there wasn’t much to see, but the corners of my mouth were lifted by the message that came to mind.
Ring of Heat Source
– Stamina increases by 1 according to the number of times you receive support from spectators.
– Stamina +49
‘Increase your stamina by 49 with just 70,000 won! It will continue to rise in the future, so it is the best value for money ever!’
The head of Shelter E, who noticed that my reaction was not bad, gave me his approval.
“Even though I posted it on the exchange, no one bought it, so I forgot about it, but I’m so happy that it helped me like this hahahaha…”
‘That means there aren’t many players who are sponsored.’
“I see.”
After briefly responding to the request, other shelter directors asked one thing.
“But what about the perfumer’s characteristics? Is it unconditional to bring in monsters from five shelters? I wonder if it has the same effect no matter how far away it is…”
I briefly answered the question of Shelter D, which has the ability to cause earthquakes.
“I’m not sure because it’s my first time working with you guys. Hmm, I guess shelters that are outside a certain distance will not be included.”
After observing the characteristics of a perfumer with insight, I came to this conclusion.
Perhaps these five shelters are the only ones within the scope of the perfumer.
“Well, then…”
The five shelter directors exchanged glances with each other, and it seemed like they knew roughly what they were talking about.
“Well, I don’t care. Do it yourself. Merge it or not.”
The complexions of the shelter directors brightened at my words, and it seemed like they would conclude in favor of merging.
“Oh, and please sell those fireworks I used last time.”
“Ayu! I’ll fill a box with those and bring them to you!”
As it became increasingly difficult to send and receive signals during battle, I planned to communicate using fireworks.
I said hello to the shelter leaders and went into Lingling’s room.
She was fast asleep, and she looked at her for a moment.
‘It’s worth having confidence in yourself.’
He was around 165 cm tall and had a very thin waist that looked like it would break if you held him, and the deep slit at the corners of his eyes was attractive.
Rather, just by looking at her appearance, I felt a mature feeling that was very different from the image I had when exchanging text messages.
<02:00:43>
“Two hours…”
Too short a time for her to gather her mind and body.
“Well, as long as there are two people in a row and there’s an additional monster, we’ll be fine…”
I’m shaking my head.
“Ugh… Ugh…”
She furrowed her brows and began to groan.
It was clear that she wasn’t having a very good dream, so she put her to sleep and soon she looked much more relaxed.
Cheolkeok-
I carefully closed the door, came out, and laid down on the sofa.
“The stage time has increased to nearly 3 hours. I guess that’s a good thing.”
The battle ahead will not be able to be completed in 20 minutes like before.
Silver Dog (Lv.12) (30)
Stamina: 206 (+49)
mana: 1,527 (+1,110)
Strength: 1,367 (+1,228)(+90) 1228
Agility: 256 (+136)(+66)
Chaos: 398,539
Characteristics: Godslaughter (Chaos), Observer (Unique), Freeze Wizard (Advanced), Gagung (Advanced), Master of Close Combat (Advanced), Tenkete (Advanced), Lulubi’s Whisper (Advanced), Rough Claw ( Advanced), Harsh wielding (Advanced), Hard Exoskeleton (Advanced), Aesthetics of Slowness (Advanced), Magic Blade (Advanced), Healing (Intermediate), Wealthy (Intermediate), Running (Intermediate), Sprint (Intermediate), Floating ( Intermediate level), Concrete sensitivity (low level)
Status resistance: 77%
Points held: 17,054,223
Now, so many features caught my eye that I couldn’t even see them at a glance.
“I think I can throw away this Concrete Sensitivity… But since there are only two attribute removal tickets, it’s difficult to throw it away.”
There are some traits that have been used a lot, such as rough claws, sprinting, and trotting, which have been used recently, while there are also traits that have never been used, such as floating.
“Just because you have a lot of characteristics doesn’t mean it’s good, it’s important to have the core characteristics. If you look at it that way, you need to quickly get the Dragana-style box fighting technique.”
With the effect of having 4 pieces of full body armor, there are no restrictions on movement, and if you add the mysterious movements of the dragon race, you will be able to have a strength that cannot be expressed in numbers.
“Let’s see…”
After the afternoon stage, I was looking through the list of equipment to purchase and waiting for the next stage.
Sloppy- Slurp-!
“······”
-Aww…!
Cheolpudeok-Pustuk-
“Isabella…What are you doing?”
I asked the saintly woman who had crept up next to me and was now jumping around next to the sofa.
What are you doing?
“Wow?- Ehehehe~”
“Hu…”
Saint Isabella, who was smiling brightly at me, was still showing signs of infantile regression.
“Will it continue like this?”
I asked Director Ahn and Okja Go who were looking at Isabella with concern.
Then they shrugged their shoulders, saying they didn’t know either.
“I obviously answered correctly, and even got an achievement saying I was purified, but hmm…”
Is it so ruined that it cannot be restored?
Sniff- Sniff-
“Abba…”
“Huh? What are you doing?”
“Aww…”
She was expressing something to me, but I couldn’t figure it out.
“It’s difficult… I can’t even read your mind… Isabella?”
“Oh?”
“Shall we go to the rooftop for a moment?”
“Wow… Oh-?”
“······Let’s just take him.”
I held out my hand to her, and Isabella hesitated for a moment, withdrew her hand behind her back, and then took my hand.
“I don’t know, really.”
There is no need to know. I just think that we need to put this child’s talent to use on our team.
As she took a few steps and reached the stairs leading to her rooftop, Isabella put her hips back and took a defensive stance.
She eventually sat down, showing her back to her.
She didn’t mind just picking him up and carrying him up, but she decided it wouldn’t look good considering she was dealing with a baby.
“I’ll piggyback you. Now, you can piggyback on my back here.”
I piggybacked on her, took her position and motioned to her.
After hesitating for a moment, she caressed my back little by little, and then slowly began to lean against me.
“Okay, put her hand around here – hold it tight.”
“Aww!”
When I stood up and supported her buttocks, she was startled and hugged my neck.
“Oh, you’re holding me tight? I know what strength level 4 is. I can’t even feel it.”
“Woo-“
Every time she went up the stairs with me carrying her, her body shook, probably out of fear. Eventually, she climbed all the way up and when I tried to put her down on the rooftop, she started fighting, saying she didn’t want to come down again. .
“hehehehe… True…”
She eventually went up to her Lulu and picked her up.
“Hmm? A deacon has a lot to do. Now he even takes care of a saint who has turned into a baby.”
“··· Lulu, how can this be okay? You won’t keep acting like a baby like this, right?”
Since there were already enough babies in the shelter, she did not want to take in adult children as well.
Lulu looked at me and smiled, then moistened her lips and spoke.
“Even if I was completely purified and healed, that means the dark energy has gone away, it doesn’t mean I’ve returned to the past. Moreover, in a state where my completely broken mind and memories are all mixed up, I feel the voices and air of people I’ve never seen before. “The confusion must have increased. However, seeing as my eyes have already healed, there is a good chance that things will improve.”
“Is that so? Well, it doesn’t matter whether I slowly come back to my senses or not. Shouldn’t I use my abilities?”
“Hmm – I guess it will take care of itself once the stage starts…”
“Oh? Really?”
“How about we just watch it for now? Or at least try to explain it now.”
“Um, Isabella? Shall we come down for a moment?”
“Argh! Argh! Argh!”
“Okay, okay. I’ll tell you then, so just listen.”
