I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner - Chapter 498
498 – Palace of the Moon
There was another ability gained from catching a werewolf.
– The attribute [Kleptomania] Is activated.
– Acquired the skill [Wolf’s Roar]!
– The achievement [Pioneer] Is activated!
– All abilities increase by 1!
– Skill [Ferocious Roar] And skill [Wolf Roar] Are fused.
A group of ogres that we met by chance in a dungeon.
The [Ferocious Roar] Obtained from defeating them was fused with the newly acquired ability.
‘Fusion! If this happens, Pioneer will be activated once more!’
– Acquired the skill [Roar of Fury]!
– The achievement [Pioneer] Is activated!
– All abilities increase by 1!
[Roar of Fury]
– Puts the opponent in fear with a harsh roar filled with anger.
– Push enemies who are equal or weaker than you into an uncontrollable state.
– For each enemy in the status abnormality [Fear], All physical abilities of allies within a 30 meter radius increase by 1%.
‘Wow… Debuff and buff at the same time? In addition, it has been upgraded to apply the effect to enemies of the same level.’
It certainly seems that fusion is better than reinforcement in many ways.
The more fusion occurs, the more powerful the skill becomes.
‘I run through dungeons for this taste.’
The only new monster you can encounter in this dungeon is the werewolf.
Since the other monsters are all ones I’ve dealt with before, I guess I’ve already achieved my biggest goal of acquiring new skills.
It’s so hard to swallow——!

‘Ugh…?! Shit! The dungeon is me again!’
The armor melts and recovers again and again.
‘I thought it was going to be okay, but here it is again.’
This time, the dungeon was trying to push me out, probably because of the abilities I gained through [Kleptomaniac]. At least it seems to be holding on because the recovery value has risen to close to 200.
‘This is okay… It would be much better if I went up to a B-level dungeon.’
“Are you okay? Are you melting again like last time?”
Yeonhee immediately realized that something was wrong with me and he was looking up at me with worried eyes.
“Tick, tick, tick.”
“Aren’t you just pretending it’s okay? If you’re having a hard time, tell me? I’ll put it inside right away.”
Actually, it’s not okay.
No matter how my body holds up, I feel like my head is burning in real time.
Still, somehow, it feels like it’s bearable? I don’t think it will succumb to an irresistible force like the golden pastiche dungeon did last time.
‘And there’s still one more thing to gain from this dungeon.’
I was concentrating as much as possible on my senses while covering up my colleagues’ occasional mistakes, and that was to find the artifact hidden in this dungeon.
‘There must be a destroyed palace somewhere… But the terrain has completely changed from when I saw it in my previous life, so it’ll take some time, right?’
As time passes, the location of the artifact becomes more and more different from where you remember it. This may also be one of the phenomena that occurs when a crack widens.
Still, I thought I would find it during the morning, but I wasn’t able to find the location of the hidden artifact until well into the afternoon and when I reached the boss battle.
‘Ah, it was behind the boss battle. Because of the barrier, my senses became faint and I couldn’t sense it. First of all, I need to finish the boss battle cleanly.’
[Next group, please prepare.]
Following the dungeon manager’s comments, which flowed mechanically like a subway broadcast, we walked towards the boss battle as if we were spellbound.
“A whopping two hundred people can participate in total! It’s a group battle like the old Orc dungeon boss battles, right?”
“That’s right. Yeonhee, I don’t have to worry too much because you have summons, but you can’t let your guard down. If you get caught once, it’s over.”
It is a boss battle with a high level of risk in itself, with hundreds of werewolves blessed by the moonlight attacking in groups.
“There are too many participants. Our share will be reduced.”
“If you think about it that way, was it a good time against the Creeper Guard? I already miss the exploding experience points.”
“As for experience, this dungeon doesn’t seem to be bad…”
‘I have a lot of free time.’
I wasn’t that calm when I was running through Wiesel’s dungeon, but it was clear that the battle to subdue the great monster had made my colleagues grow in many ways.
“It’s coming!!”
It is smaller than a regular werewolf and has impressive, neatly trimmed pure white fur that attracted the most attention.
The boss monster of this dungeon feels very noble even to me.
‘It’s pretty to see you again. It’s not easy to look at an animal and think like this.’
“As a beastman, what does that werewolf look like?”
“Just as I heard, she looks very pretty. I think she will be popular among male prisoners.”
“Puh-ha, really?”
– Kwaa!!
The male werewolves surrounding the pretty werewolves were already at their peak of excitement.
There seemed to be a firm determination to protect the boss monster at all costs.
When less than 20 minutes had passed, victory or defeat was clearly decided.
‘There’s nothing special to do.’
Hahait took longer than I thought.”
“Still, it’s an easy win.”
It was a fierce battle, but it was a moderately pleasant struggle.
‘Still doesn’t show up.’
I took out a lot of regular werewolves in the hope that [Kleptomaniac] Would be activated additionally, but what I expected did not happen.
“Everyone worked hard!”
“No, why is the resistance so high? My skill, which froze even the top B-class creeper guard, is not working.”
‘When the full moon rises, the moon race is almost immune to status ailments.’
Of course, Hayoon Noh probably doesn’t know that information, but what she actually experiences and feels is different, so she’s probably complaining.
“The grade is something we decided on ourselves. Also, the monsters’ energy has been getting stronger recently, which is probably one of the reasons… “
“But there were no monsters from other dungeons intruding today.”
“That was a good thing.”
‘Rather, I expected that.’
I think I can try ‘Dragon Turtle’ now, but it might be difficult to go to the same place again.
We finished the boss battle and headed straight toward the exit.
I deliberately widened the distance between me and the other party.
Then, when I turned sharply to the left, my colleagues looked around for a moment and then followed closely behind me.
(I guess Ilwol discovered something else?)
(Oh, I guess so.)
(There is no golden goblin. Hehe.)
We traveled a long way off the official route and navigated a terrain heavily tangled with bushes.
“Wow… How far are we going to go back? I’ll even forget the way we came.”
“Tick, tick, tick.”
“They say you have to hold hands and walk. There’s a barrier, so if you’re not careful, you’ll get lost.”
“Wow, how do you know all that? Can you even see the future?”
“Huh?!”
“Puhaha- Yeonhee, it’s a joke. A joke.”
“Ah, ahaha…”
“He is by far the best among the guides and his combat power is much stronger than ours … Ilwol is such a fraud.”
“Hmph… I’ll catch up to you someday.”
‘Please be like that, Hayun.’
I moved on for about 20 more minutes, using the sounds of my colleagues’ conversations as my guide, and finally reached a place where no one had gone before.
‘Phew – I can’t move fast because of the damn barrier. It tasted like death.’
Although he calmly served as a guide.
I had passed through a frustrating maze where if the movement procedure was even slightly wrong, I would return to the starting position.
“Wow!! What is it? Old ruins?”
“Does it feel like a palace? There are crescent moon sculptures embossed everywhere!!”
“Amazing…”
It was truly a building of enormous scale.
Although it was destroyed in some places, if you imagine how it would have been intact, it would have been at least as big as two soccer fields combined.
It is surprising that no building of this magnitude has been discovered, but considering the elaborately twisted barrier, it is acceptable.
“Huh? That statue. Isn’t it the boss monster we defeated earlier?”
“Oh, really. They look the same.”
“The statue is pretty too…”
A beautiful werewolf with pure white fur.
Looking at the statues arranged neatly at the entrance, I could guess that it must have been a person of high status.
‘That guy in the boss battle was pretty, but his fighting skills were terrible. Wasn’t he from a noble family or royal family or something like that?’
“Ah, come with me, Ilwol!”
I headed straight inside the building.
‘Left from here, go a little further and right…’
After moving for a while through a strange space where the location changes every moment, I finally found a door shining in silver light.
“Huh?! Oh, it’s a door that wasn’t there before?”
“It seems like a hidden room that only appears when you follow certain rules.”
‘That’s right. Still, Jua’s brains keep up well.’
Grumbling─
I opened the door without hesitation and entered a space of another world shining brightly with silver.
“aak-!”
“Ah, it’s dazzling.”
For a moment, a blindingly bright light flashed, and when we came to our senses, we were able to enter a completely different space.
“W-this place…?”
‘It’s a hidden space for the fallen moon race.’
Yeonhee and I on one side.
One each for Bae Joo-ah, Noh Hayun, and Baek Arin.
And Ham Eun-young and Azraelon are on one side.
Everyone was moved to the apex of the pentagram and stood facing the center.
And in the center, a brilliantly shining round stone slab was slowly swirling in the air, showing off its noble appearance.
“”Ah──””
It was an artifact that gave an extremely beautiful and clean feeling to the point that everyone burst out in awe at the same time.
‘That… Why did it get so big? Not only does the number of artifacts change, but also their appearance?’
I was actually surprised by the artifact, which was much larger than I remembered.
My colleagues also began to realize this fact as they took a step toward the center.
“What, why is it so big?”
A huge slab the size of a fairly small car.
‘I’ll have to give this to Castle. It’s a buff-type artifact anyway.’
The patterns on the stone slab were constantly intersecting as if the moonlight and shadows were alive.
‘It’s still beautiful.’
I slowly placed my hand on the artifact.
[Silver Shaqiras]
– This is a stone tablet created to prove to the Supreme Moon Goddess that one is of the Moon race. After receiving moonlight for a long time, a surprising effect has been created that provides positive effects to allies within a certain radius.
– The stamina of allies within the range is continuously restored, and their resistance to status ailments is strengthened.
– When affected by the artifact for three hours, attack power increases significantly.
– If you are affected by the artifact for six hours, you become immune to status ailments.
– All effects are canceled the moment you leave the range.
‘The overall effect has been improved. Immunity to status abnormalities is an effect that can be received only if you are in the range for a full day… And the attack power has also been changed to ‘significantly’ increase.’
I remember barely surviving the Orc corps commander’s initial invasion thanks to this artifact. Of course, it was only for a moment. Now that the effect has improved, it will be more helpful than before.
“It looks big, but it may not be heavy in reality. Let’s push it together.”
“Uuuuu! I’m not moving.”
No matter how weak Yeonhee and Jooah are, they are both superhumans who far surpass ordinary people. Nevertheless, the stone slab did not move in the air.
Swoosh-
“Huh?”
I lightly lifted the stone slab with one hand and held it up to the moonlight shining through the ceiling.
‘There’s another picture on the other side.’
“Oh wow, it’s pretty.”
“Are wolves a race with such an outstanding sense of aesthetics?”
“Hey…”
After showing the artifact to his colleagues, he was about to insert the stone slab into space.
– The moon goddess ‘Larmisiel’ senses the energy of the moon race. The protection of ‘Larmisiel’ is activated temporarily.
‘The protection of the moon goddess? Suddenly?’
I feel a little excited because it gives me blessings, even if only temporarily.
As I waited in anticipation to see what kind of ability it had, I was started by the sound of the armor cracking.
‘Uh…?! Oh wow?!!’
“Hey, Ilwol! Your body!!”
“aah?! Oh my!”
Suddenly, the armor I was wearing was lifted and disappeared in a puff of smoke, and as I was reduced to nothing but bones, I felt my face getting hot.
‘No… It’s embarrassing to suddenly show my bones after covering it up. But why is this happening all of a sudden? Is it God’s protection to take off one’s clothes?’
