I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner - Chapter 525
525 – A Game You Don’t Want to Win
“Hamarishu, a variation of blood mosquito, minecarave, priscana.”
“That’s right.”
“Most of the monsters that only appear in hidden dungeons… I’ll have to talk about this with Ilseom. Oh, I’m tired. I have to meet that sly snake b*stard again. Anyway, I get it. Leave the material supply to me.”
“Won’t they think it’s strange if I talk about the material as a purpose?”
“That’s right. Since it is a medicine developed by Ilseom in the first place, it is true that it is a bit burdensome to immediately announce that we know the recipe. First, let’s ask many of our guild members to enter the dungeon and try to supply it ourselves. I will also look into alchemists. Crab.”
“Oh, yes!”
Securing alchemists was important for mass production, but it will not be easy since they often operate in the dark.
‘Anyway, I think I’m putting too much of a burden on Yeonsu…’
She felt a little sorry, but she was more determined than ever, so she decided to just give it a go.
‘You will be able to benefit early on by sharing information about the leap. Should we share some part of it? Or you can give ‘Sky Craft’ as a reward. I’ll have to think about it.’
“Hasn’t there been any contact from the association?”
“Huh? Uh… Not yet?”
“Really…? Hmm…”
“Why are you doing that?”
Yeonsu hesitated for a moment, but gave us advice that requires caution.
“You all know that the Association’s position has been greatly weakened since the battle to subjugate the Debowing Creeper. The decisive factor was that the people they brought to the forefront were not active. Anyway, I heard that they are pushing a little too hard these days to change that trend.
Of course, this is also a story I secretly heard from the person who showed the way.”
“Oh, yes!”
‘The woman who shows the way. It looks like you care a lot about Yeonsu. ‘If you look at it, it says it all.’
Or maybe they are trying to gain some benefit by releasing that information. Of course, her training will also bear all of that and communicate with her.
“If the Association people approach you, it would be better to postpone any decision for now. Before that, I was also indifferent, but now there is a clear goal of stopping the Orc army. Let’s just focus on that for now.”
“Did you say that would stop them?”
“He who shows the way cannot foresee the future. He only helps us choose the most meaningful path among the many crossroads.”
“Ah… It’s definitely different from Yeji.”
“That’s right.”
‘Isn’t the person who suggests that path also the people in the association…? Hmm… I don’t know. There is too little information to make a judgment. I need to find out about Maeng Seong-yong quickly.’
“Yes! I understand!”
“And Jo Ki-man suddenly disappeared towards Russia with his assistant. I don’t know when he will return. He said he will come via China, so it looks like he will be away for a while.”
Jo Ki-man left Korea yesterday, but this time he didn’t even leave his self-immolation behind in Korea. No, it would be correct to say that it could not be left behind.
‘It’s clear that something went wrong after being attacked by us.’
“Ah… Thank you. You keep me on the lookout for him.”
“What is gratitude? Ilwol, can you make me a few more of those?”
“Tick, tick, tick.”
“It will take about 2-3 days.”
“I’m even more surprised that it only takes that much to make such an item. Anyway, thank you. Fuuu-I really can’t stand this uncontrollable energy. I feel like running to the giant’s dungeon right now.”
Eight dungeons known to have not yet been cleared around the world.
One of them, the Giant’s Dungeon, is said to be full of giants as the name suggests, but I remember it not being cleared even before being killed by Jo Gi-man in my previous life.
‘It’s a place full of monsters that even Jogi-man and Joong-gil can’t break through… If that isn’t hell, what could it be?’
“First of all, the materials related to the subjugation will be sent as electronic documents, so all you have to do is roughly sign them. I have to look around other places, so I’ll have to go there.”
“Thank you always, sister! I’ll contact you later.”
“Yes, Ilwol, are you dreaming of me too?”
“Just…”
“Phew… Look at how embarrassed he is. It’s funny.”
Yeon-soo told her lame joke and disappeared to her next destination along with her support team. Both when I show up and when I leave. She was a cool girl herself.
Her colleagues, who had been staring blankly at her disappearance for a long time, finally came to their senses when I clapped my hands a few times.
“Whew… I’m so overwhelmed by the momentum that I can’t say a word. Yeonhee is amazing in a way. She’s not at all intimated in front of such an amazing person.”
“That can’t be right.” I was completely intimidated.”
Joo-a seems a little envious of Yeon-hee, who can talk to Yeon-soo naturally.
“Anyway, let’s summarize the story between us again. Step by step from the beginning!”
“That’s right! Why does Yeonsu know that information before us? It’s a bit disappointing.”
“Uh, well, that’s…”
Her colleagues expressed their disappointment, but as the story began in earnest, those feelings disappeared and she was mainly filled with pity and sympathy for Yeon-hee, who had been dealing with this problem all this time.
“It wasn’t hard for me. In fact, Il-Wol did all the hard work… What’s important is that such a future is just around the corner. And… Nevertheless, we have to continue climbing the dungeon that We have been doing so far. I wonder what you think…”
“I feel the same way. We need to get stronger. I think it’s okay to climb a little faster.”
“Hi… Faster than now?”
“Look at our growth rate. I don’t think there has ever been a party in history that has developed this much in less than half a year. We can do it. We have to push ourselves a little harder now to get to that level. That way, it will be of some help later.”
‘Noh Hayun, who initially attacked with all intents and purposes, has suddenly turned into something like that. It’s something I will live to see for a long time.’
I realized that so much had changed in just a few months.
Colleagues strengthened their will to grow by comforting and supporting each other.
We are not yet sure whether Bae Joo-ah will continue to be with us, but seeing her passionately discussing response plans with Yeon-hee makes it seem like there is no need to worry for the time being.
* * *
After returning home, Yeonhee washed up, ate the dinner I had prepared for her, and immediately prepared to challenge the cursed giants.
“I will definitely last 30 minutes today!”
She had lowered her goals a little.
From killing cursed giants to dealing damage. And two days ago, it was gradually lowered to holding on.
But it was definitely not because she will be weak.
Perhaps she is objectifying her own strength through the process of her challenge.
When I watched her performance while raiding the Jinhwa Water Factory, it was clear that the battle with the giants was greatly helping her grow.
‘I’m just worried that I’m becoming numb to the fear of death. I raised him with great care, but he is being killed by giants every day. I don’t like it.’
“I’ll come back!”
“Tick, tick, tick…”
Yeonhee quietly closed her eyes and suddenly appeared like the wind.
Somehow, when I see Yeonhee leaving me to go off on her own quest, I suddenly feel anxious and lonely.
‘Does Yeonhee feel this way every time I go somewhere…’
Even though I understood it intellectually, it was very emotionally difficult to watch her leave me behind.
‘I want to go with you… Laney must have always thought that way as she watched me leaving the dark space.’
Only in the opposite situation can you truly understand the mind of another being. I realize once again that I am still young in my thinking.
‘I need to work harder so that I don’t feel what I feel…’
First, let’s start by accumulating elixirs with the newly acquired abilities.
There were already enough ingredients to make more than 200 elixirs and there was enough left over.
‘I guess I’ll have to test the elixir in human condition. I confirmed that it does not apply in the skeleton state.’
After Yeonhee returned, she started an experiment by activating mimicry-
Chijijijijijik───
‘Hmm?! What is it?’
While I was pondering various thoughts, something like a passage suddenly appeared in the place where Yeonhee disappeared.
Woooung──
‘The road leading underground… It’s an ominous passage no matter who looks at it.’
Even the system message that usually came up when a new space was opened was not visible.
But, realizing that that space was the one chance the old woman had talked about, I quickly threw myself into the passage before it closed.
* * *
I think I lost consciousness for a moment.
I was looking down from the sky, and a fierce battle was going on on the ground.
‘Prison…’
A huge iron cage can be vaguely sensed in the waves of the senses.
It was clear that there was an effort to imprison someone, and the person fighting with someone in the prison was a beautiful and cute woman I knew very well.
From noble mtl dot come
– ······!!
No matter what order she gave, she summons her formed up in perfect order, and something huge that seemed to be about 20 meters long blocked her punch with difficulty.
‘To stop that?’
Kwakwakwaang──!
“aaah!!”
‘There’s no way that could work…’
To be more precise, I tried to block it, but failed miserably.
Even if you unite your summons, you won’t be able to defend against the attacks of the giants, who are truly incredible creatures that are bigger than the orcs combined with just their fists.
‘Then can’t I avoid it?’
There’s no way Yeonhee wouldn’t have tried to avoid it.
Huuung──
Kwaaa!!
When the giants hit the ground once, three ogres burst out like insects.
I definitely realized this when I saw his incredible physical ability in action.
‘That’s top A level? It was the sound of a dog eating grass. That’s not a quest designed to win. His speed is comparable to that of Taehyung Jeong, right? Even if they are cursed, they are still giants.’
It wasn’t at a level where I could just avoid it.
Speed beyond his size and overwhelming mass. That alone was enough to neutralize Yeonhee.
At least when Geomryong withstood the attack, the tenacity of the alpha-level summons to target only the vital points increased, prolonging the lopsided game.
The battle lines were pushed back so quickly that the summoned beasts that had been quickly re-summoned turned into powder and scattered, leaving Yeon-hee standing alone in the center looking up at the giants.
‘Sweat is falling like rain. It’s hard to see Yeonhee struggling like that. It looks like the magic power has been stretched to its limit.’
“Ha-ha-is it today as well?”
“······.”
I heard the giants answering Yeonhee’s question.
But the fact that the system doesn’t interpret what I’m saying is probably proof that it’s a duel in which I’m not involved.
‘But he speaks very softly.’
The nuance of the giant’s speech felt very friendly.
A cursed giant that appears randomly in dungeons like ‘Mimic’.
I remember seeing a few records of dealing with them on the Internet, and they were all about the madness of the giants, so I was a bit puzzled by the current situation.
The giant’s fist falls on Yeonhee’s head.
‘Ah-no!!’
I screamed without realizing it, but I couldn’t move my body.
And suddenly, a blackout curtain was drawn in the field of vision, and the space was turned upside down, left and right.
‘It’s Yeonhee!’
In the distance, I could see Yeonhee floating in the air.
Yeonhee was quietly soaring into the sky with her eyes closed, as if she was familiar with this situation. When she came to her senses again, I found myself looking into her eyes from a distance of about a hundred meters. Br>
“Huh?! What! Suddenly a hidden quest?”
Yeonhee realized that something different from usual had happened and her face became very expectant. But soon she found me.
“This is Ilwol? Is that right?”
“Tick, tick, tick.”
“aaah! Awesome! How did you get here?! It’s really amazing! Right!”
“Just…”
“Now Il-Wol is joining us too? Wow! We can call Castle too!”
Me and Castle, whose summoning was restricted in the confrontation with the giants.
However, those restrictions seem to have disappeared in this match.
“Hehe, why are you still? Should I go there?”
Yeonhee is just excited to meet me in another dimension.
It was clear that she had not yet seen the message that appeared before my eyes.
– Break the chains of bondage to walk the path of kings.
Sadly, the message was only one line.
