I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner - Chapter 604
604 – Chasing a Little Hope in the Darkness
‘What kind of bug.’
Upon closer inspection, the insect’s face, clearly segmented into three lines, closely resembles the shape of a human.
‘Ugh…’
I don’t know what it is, so I’ll just burn it and see.
As soon as I disposed of the bug, a message came to mind, which confused me even more.
– The ‘Improved Ancient Parasitic Clan’ was killed for the first time!
– The blood absorption speed of the skill [Living Blood Polarization] Increases!
– The ‘Improved Ancient Parasitic Blood Clan’ has been defeated!
– The ability level increase for the skill [Living Blood Dramatization] Increases!
– The ‘Improved Ancient Parasitic Blood Clan’ has been defeated!
······················································································. ·····························································································

?
As the message storm passed, questions about bugs grew.
‘Every single one of these bugs is a parasitic relative?!’
It was a truly surprising discovery that the maggots that consumed Meng Seong-yong’s body had a connection with the parasitic blood relatives who protected the Dragon Turtle and the Blood Mosquito of the Hidden Dungeon.
‘How on earth did this happen…’
– Hehe
– You showed up again, right?
Black monsters rising one by one around Meng Seong-yong.
I split them with a great sword and hit them with hundreds of fireballs.
The ones on fire started circling around me with their heads on fire.
– Kihihihihi!
– No matter how hard you try, we will die.
From noble mtl dot come
‘······.’
When I cut off the grinning head with a large sword several times, they seemed to think they couldn’t do it anymore and quickly crawled across the floor like a snake and moved to another place.
When I looked closely, I saw that not only Maeng Seong-yong but all the other faces were familiar.
‘Ha… The Association’s expedition team was really defeated.’
To what extent did you participate?
I don’t even think Choi Kang-han and the person who showed the way joined, and many of the senior members of the line below him seem to have joined…
Shiririririrrrr
The burning flesh of Maeng Seong-yong turned into smoke and was absorbed into the mouth of the black monster crawling on the floor.
“Shaaap! Merge with Director Maeng is complete!!”
“Puhahahaha! The combination is amazing.”
“Ah, so fucking funny, you crazy b*stards.”
A man who inhaled Maeng Seong-yong’s smoke danced shoulder-to-shoulder while exchanging cheap conversations with the monsters around him.
Soon something round bulged from the guy’s shoulder, and it soon turned into Maeng Seong-yong’s face and burst into ridicule.
‘Emotions… Are not just distorted, they are completely absent. Are you not feeling fear or fear?’
As I was looking at them, I desperately wanted to kill them all and return to Yeonhee.
It was an instinctive feeling of rejection, and it even made me feel like I was going to feel nauseous without realizing it.
‘I’m really sick of it. It’s disgusting, you b*stards!!’
I took out ‘Cheongwol’.
I felt that a great sword was not enough.
Wouldn’t it be different if it were a sword filled with Irmana’s energy?
[Gongcham (空斬) fire slash]
Holding the blue moon tightly, I cut down the darkness like crazy.
The monsters that keep coming back to life don’t even think about fighting me anymore, just circling around and showing disgusting smiles.
Cut and explode again and repeat.
Don’t think what you see can only be defeated.
“Sun and Moon······.”
With Kang Yeon-soo staring intently at my back, about ten minutes had passed before I knew it.
I was barely able to come to my senses when the ground sizzled with the energy of the flames and the floor became caved several meters deep.
The black monsters were mixed with the melted asphalt and crushed beyond recognition.
‘Ha… I was so excited. Has turbidity accumulated in my head again? Stop without even realizing it.’
I closed my eyes and concentrated on recovering my magic power.
Whirly lily──!
‘Ugh?!’
At that time, something the size of a telephone pole flew into my head as I took a moment to catch my breath.
He lightly pushed it aside with his right hand, picked up Yeonsu again, and jumped backwards.
‘What the hell is that…’
A monster with a shape similar to a hyena, supporting the ground with three legs, suddenly rose above the shadow of the spot where Maeng Seong-yong was burning.
The back of its head was completely dark, and only the front of its head remained, exposing its densely intersecting sharp teeth.
The ugly head gradually grew longer towards the sky, and soon it rose up to 5 meters, turning into a thin and creepy humanoid monster that was completely different from the dog that was first seen.
[Chiriririt-]
In the place where the eyes and nose should be, antenna-like things were flicking around, trying to sense something, and at some point, it looked in my direction and opened its mouth left and right.
Creepy──
The ground around it can be seen eroding to pitch black.
Erosion phenomenon that changes the land into a suitable place for monsters to live.
In that area, the combat power of monsters increases significantly, and the combat power of hunters decreases.
The same effect as entering a dungeon where debuffs are always activated.
So, if possible, areas of erosion should be avoided.
Sussssseu─
Originally, erosion was slow, but it was difficult to deal with as it gradually expanded its territory. However, the erosion caused by this thing was quickly engulfing the surroundings and coloring the world in darkness.
‘If it wasn’t for Yeonsu, I might have thrown myself.’
I couldn’t think of any other way to get rid of him other than self-destruction.
I doubted whether I could overcome it even if I combined the three attributes with Irmana’s help.
‘Does it take about Liu Xiaoyue to be able to handle it? I don’t know. I think I need something different than that kind of physical strength…’
I was slowly pushing my body back so as not to provoke him.
Dealing with him is impossible for me right now.
Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like he has any intention of attacking me. No, he might not be an offensive type in the first place.
Lee Seong said that it was reasonable to save Yeon-soo first, and I agreed.
[Chihihihihi-]
Before I knew it, he had taken his eyes off me and looked up at the sky.
The image reminded me of the prayer in ‘Living Statue’.
Is he even reporting to the god he serves that he will encroach on new land?

Even if there was the power of leap, Yeonsoo’s condition was still one step away from the worst.
“Sister…”
Yeonsu, who was brought in, was lying in the space that used to be Yeonhee’s room, just repeating inhalation and exhalation.
Yeonhee was wiping away the blood that had settled on Yeonsu’s face with a towel soaked in water.
“What happened? If Yeonsu is being treated like this, shouldn’t we run away too?”
“Unless several Orc war generals rush in at once…”
There was no one who could honestly answer Bae Joo-ah’s question.
No one knows what happened or where to go if they run away.
And we will have to get used to the absence of such information.
Because we will continue to experience things that we do not understand.
“But I’m glad. I’m so glad…”
Yeonhee was holding Yeonsu’s hand tightly and just nodded.
“Go… Thank you…”
After coming to her senses for a moment, Yeonsu uttered only one word with difficulty and then entered a state of hibernation-like sleep again.
Just as she was overcome by Escaron the first time, will she be able to overcome the crisis this time? It remains to be seen.
While waiting for Yeonsu to recover, I prepared the alchemist’s elixir.
– ‘The Alchemist’s Elixir of Death’ has been completed!
-Experience level increases slightly!
‘······.’
The three weeks of lost time were bittersweet.
Sometimes I have experienced time passing slowly, and it would be a great help if I could do so on my own initiative.
‘I wonder if I can become a seven-headed dragon.’
A few hours later, Shin Hee-won came running in from outside and announced the good news.
“I think I can make a phone call now!”
At that moment, I could vaguely hear Arin talking on the phone with her younger brother.
‘The recovery was quick.’
After the invasion of the Orc army, there was a time when modern civilization did not function properly, but it appeared to quickly return to its original state.
Of course, it may only last for a moment, but the word hope appeared on the faces of the people in the sanctuary.
I was just anxious because I knew this wasn’t the end.
‘Whoa… It’s not easy.’
The joining of ogres, association hunters who have become monsters, and nameless monsters that cause erosion.
Even excluding variables that are extremely unfavorable to us, the overall quality and quantity of the Orc army has improved.
‘The Orc commander hasn’t arrived yet… Damn… The 3 week gap hurts so much.’
But that’s just my personal opinion.
Since no one in this world could compare to the memories of their previous life, other hunters reacted more sensitively to positive news.
“We are hearing about the success of building defensive positions from all over.”
“Were we better prepared than we thought? The traffic in the community is increasing rapidly.”
“It’s as if we were expecting something like this to happen… Equipment using cardinite is being released in large quantities?”
“There is even a rumor going around that armor mixed with aetherium will be provided to S-class hunters in bulk.”
Of course, it wasn’t just good news.
“To date, the number of deaths has exceeded two million…”
“They say dungeon breaks are starting from F level. No matter how small children they are, ordinary people…”
“What on earth are the government and the association doing? What are so many people in the Special Department doing?”
“They said we fell behind.”
“No way-“
It seemed difficult to expect an official announcement from the government.
On the first day the gate was opened, the president disappeared.
Choi Kang-han, who was the head of the association, had somehow remained silent until now.
Nevertheless, the reason why the order of the Republic of Korea did not collapse was largely due to Kang Sang-soo’s diligent work to persuade the powerful and powerful.
In fact, Yeonsu still had not regained consciousness, but the sanctuary protecting us was still solid, and it seemed like there was still a glimmer of hope lingering by our side.
* * *
A week has passed since I returned to Yeonhee.
From the day I brought Yeonsu, the standoff with the orcs continued for three days, and thanks to this, I was able to enter the dark space, obtain the ‘Stone of Darkness’, and proceed with the alchemist’s elixir until all the ingredients were used up.
And for the remaining four days, more intense fighting continued than before.
During that time, my level rose once more, and the number of Orc skeleton troops under my command reached 3,000.
The space and sense of life inside and outside the shelter.
And for the sake of combat efficiency, all of the more than 3,000 animals were sent to the dungeon hunting grounds along with the lower-level hunters.
‘What should Laney do?’
When I briefly entered the dark space, Rainie was working hard to open a dimensional crack.
Rainey had a difficult time after purifying his elixir of life, but the amazing Tree of Possibilities he had seen for the first time in a long time was reaching its full potential.
(January and March! In that situation, wouldn’t it be right for me to go out further?)
When I told her about what happened while I was away and the current situation, this is what Laney responded with courage.
The Tree of Possibilities said that it wanted to give me strength in some way, and perhaps it is a variable like Lainey that can restore the lopsided balance even a little.
‘People will be very surprised when Lainey appears, but you can just say it’s Yeonhee’s new summon.’
Since I was already working with large summons like ‘Castle’ and ‘White Dragon’, I didn’t have much to worry about.
Anyway, Laney will come to our world in a short period of time. I will make it happen. If things go wrong, I’ll have to get help from Yeonhee.
I organize my thoughts and look around.
The area of the shelter has increased by about 30% since then. This is because the by-products of the Great Monster and the accumulated magic stones were continuously invested.
We could have focused more on expanding the area, but now that the total number of refugees and hunters has already exceeded 2,000 and accidents big and small are occurring internally, we decided to focus on strengthening the internal stability.
I think I heard somewhere that when survival comes to an end, the desire to proliferate increases, but there have already been several rape attempts in the past week.
Of course, such crazy people were given a special opportunity to take the lead in the battle against orcs.
Someone spit at the human horse breeds who looked back while urinating in front of the frenzied orc warrior, and someone covered their child’s eyes.
