was not the one who sent Casillas.

It was not a plan to deal with Jinseong himself, to kill the person with the and lay the foundation for more active pollution in the future.

Casillas was simply summoned.

Through the first awakening skill of the Summoner job of the female magician job group, the skill.

“Ahhh- ahhhh!”

The emotion that came first, rather than the joy of not being contaminated, was shame.

Jinseong, who had been holding on tightly until now, had lost all strength to the point where even the was slipping out of his loosened hands, and he didn’t know what to do.

It was natural.

‘A clone… … That’s not even the main body! It was a clone! What the hell!’

By borrowing the power of Heukgu, borrowing the power of Yang-eol, and even borrowing the power of Soldoros, and using the skill acquired at level 70 as a secret weapon, he literally used all the abilities and resources available to him at the current point in time to fight the enemy… … .

‘Compared to the main body, it’s half and half?! No, half of half! Half of half of half!’

Just how weakened was Casillas?

Are you saying that you fought against a clone that was only able to defeat 10% of the enemies, let alone 50%, and then bragged about it as if it had the power to subdue even the apostles?

[Ugh, ugh ugh… … ..]

“Heukgu, you should have told me! You’re so annoying!”

[Do you think I would know? Whether or not there is someone who has made a contract to summon a clone with such an ignorant person… … Well, I did instinctively notice it, even if it was vague. No matter how strong you, Jinseong, have become, when your upper and lower bodies were not separated in the first attack, already-.]

“Shut up! You didn’t even tell me, and you made a fuss telling me to run away-”

“Hahahaha, have you gone crazy? Don’t finish what you were doing.”

Jinseong blamed Heukgu for creating anxiety, but that didn’t change the situation.

Rather, Casillas, who had been listening to Jinseong’s practical soliloquy, was scratching his stomach and grasping his sword again.

Jinseong also had to look at him in a hurry and wave his hand.

Now that you know that he is a clone that appeared through the summoner’s skill, what reason would there be to fight him?

Since he surprised Jinseong himself, why would he continue the battle that arose from the misunderstanding that he was the Fourth Apostle who was transferred while being infected by the ?

“No! Hey! Wait a minute! Lord Cassias, there was some misunderstanding between us, so I don’t think we need to fight like this.”

Jinseong doesn’t have it.

However, it was an offer that did not work for Casillas, who lived his life with the sole goal of finding the strong, fighting them, and winning, even if it was a clone.

“Huh, are you trying to back out? You can’t miss it. If you delay any longer-”

His thighs twitched as if he was about to rush straight towards Jinseong.

But just before those muscles unleash an explosive burst of energy.

“Chief Ka! Stop! This is an order!”

The summoner’s voice was heard again.

Perhaps because of his small stature, he appears to be running hard, but his running speed is incredibly slow.

“-Kuaaaah, you, I told you not to give me orders or anything!”

Casillas shouted as he quickly sheathed his sword in its scabbard.

The summoner, who was still running slowly, shouted in a young voice.

“If it’s an order, then it’s an order. Then, what is it! Anyway, I’m speaking as a summoner under a legitimate contract, so stop right now. Kashi! Yasu!”

“A contractual relationship doesn’t mean a master-servant relationship, kid!”

Casillas now crossed his arms as if he had no interest in such things.

And finally, the summoner arrived near Jinseong and Cassillas.

“What are you saying? You follow along without saying anything when I whip you, but you don’t say anything…”

“Can’t you just shut up?! If you say something about whipping one more time, I told you I wouldn’t stay still-”

“Ahem, please stop anyway, Chief Ka.”

Casillas was going wild, but the summoner was just ignoring his reactions.

Jinseong just blinked and watched the whole situation like an idiot.

The shame and embarrassment that Kashias felt as if he was the summoner’s clone and that he had become ‘Soldoros’ against that clone had already disappeared from Jinseong.

“But this person… who is he?”

The girl with short red hair looked at Jinseong with sparkling eyes.

Jinseong also looked at the young face full of curiosity.

It wasn’t just his face or his attitude that didn’t give a single word to Casillas that was surprising.

The very fact that he was ‘talking’ to Casillas was what had Jinseong so excited about.

Users of the game Dungeon & Fighter cannot talk to the summoned creature Kashias.

This is only possible if the nickname is not visible above the summoner’s head.

The summoner tilted his head, staring blankly at Jinseong.

Then he shouted as if he remembered something.

“Ah, ah, you’re a possessed person?! What the heck has been going on lately, there’s been an abundance of possessed people! Hey, it’s nice to meet you!”

Jinseong’s mind was now confused by the summoner’s words and actions that approached him rather gently and continued to chatter.

Summoners are also possessed users.

And you may have met several people who have been with you.

You must have met quite a few people with a lot of phobias, and recently, you must have even used the somewhat old expression ‘abundant crop’.

In other words, it also means that you often meet possessed people even when it is not recent.

It’s likely that quite some time has passed since the ice was melted.

Also, the fact that he says this happily when he sees the possessed person means that most of his memories of meeting the possessed person were positive.

His attitude, from talking to Casillas like a teammate to talking to Jinseong himself, is also evidence of that.

“nice to meet you.”

Even though he had made his initial judgment on the summoner in an instant, Jinseong did not completely let his guard down.

However, as soon as the summoner finished saying hello, he stuck out his hand as if asking for a handshake, so it was inevitable that he would be a little swayed by that attitude.

Jinseong also slowly reached out his hand.

The summoner immediately grabbed Jinseong’s hand.

Then, he soon started to caress Jinseong’s arm.

When Jinseong pulled his arm away in embarrassment, the summoner chattered as if he was disappointed but also surprised.

“It’s really pitch black, huh? I thought it would feel a bit bumpy, but it’s smooth too… This is what it feels like to be possessed by a Dark Knight. By the way, how did you become possessed by a Dark Knight? There was a patch a while ago- Well, not really that recently, but anyway, there was a patch that made it so that you only need to have a level 70 or higher character to create one, right? I thought you couldn’t choose a Dark Knight when being possessed because of that system. You can’t have two bodies, after all- Oh, wait! Are you someone who was possessed before me? Are you just getting here now?”

This time, it was a flood of words that really took Jinseong’s soul away.

“……yes?”

It’s not because of his middle-aged talkativeness that doesn’t match his youthful appearance.

It passed by in an instant, but there were still a few more clues that could help us know about her.

‘Dark Knight creation limit…? That was ‘patched a while ago’?

The Dark Knight first appeared in the game Dungeon & Fighter in 2012.

However, due to the special nature of spin-off characters and the difficulty of their manipulation, there was a temporary restriction that they could only be created if there was a ‘main character’ above a certain level.

‘That must have been in 2015, right?’

It was quite a while ago, around August 2015.

So, it was just embarrassing for Jinseong.

Are you saying to yourself, ‘You were possessed before me and now you’re only just getting near Anton?’

Me?

The possessed summoner in front of you is a user who has been enjoying the game since before August 2015 to the point of being a ‘candidate for the Forged Blade’, and who also became possessed in the near future since August 2015…

‘Honey, what the heck… … How many years have you been here!?’

Does that mean that you still haven’t gotten past the dungeon area: Power Station, the 7th Apostle in a broader sense, and even the main scenario quest of Anton the Fire-Eater?

Even though he was looking at Jinseong in confusion, the summoner just looked interested and smiled kindly.

What should I say about that?

Between Jinseong organizing his thoughts and the subtle silence of the summoner looking at him as if expecting some kind of reaction.

“Chi-Li Shrimp! Chi, Chi-Li Shrimp! Where the hell did you go?! What if you suddenly disappear without even defeating Patrice?!”

What I heard was someone’s voice.

This is the dungeon area: a regular dungeon within the Power Station, Trombe Power Plant.

Both Jinseong and the summoner finally realized that they were still in the middle of the main scenario quest where they had yet to deal with the boss, Patrice the Thrill.

“Oh my gosh, come to your senses. Yes! Let’s go! I’m sorry, Manager Ka suddenly left, I’ll be there in a minute!”

“You, you, my name is Kashiyas! The conqueror of Ekon! You keep saying my name strangely-.”

“Okay, let’s go! Chief Ka! If we make the managers over there angry, we’ll be the only ones who suffer. Hurry up and follow me!”

The summoner ran out swinging the whip he was holding in his hand.

Cassillas frowned as he looked at the back of the summoner.

“Fucking chili shrimp.”

That muttering was what embarrassed Jinseong for the third time.

‘… … Is that its real name? Chili Shrimp?’

The summoner who was supposedly summoned in the second half of 2015 or the first half of 2016 has been confirmed to be named ‘Chili Shrimp’.

How many years have I been living in Plain: Arad with that name?

[Ugh, ugh ugh… … . What the heck is going on?]

“……That’s what I wanted to ask. Ugh, this is it. But I can’t not follow you.”

It was a real shock as much as the black hole, but there was no way he could not do what he had to do.

You must confirm that the summoner in front of you, ‘Chili Shrimp’, is the ‘adventurer’ that Lieutenant General Niver mentioned.

If the only adventurer currently facing the Shivering Patrice at the Trombe Power Plant is the Summoner, then the Summoner’s main scenario quest has been corrupted, meaning that Jinseong, the , cannot just sit back and watch.

‘First, I need to figure out the situation. Then, after I finish identifying and resolving the source of the contamination… … I need to talk to that person.’

Above all, if you are such an old bachelor, then you have met many bachelorettes so far.

Because you might be able to get information related to Ah-Hang from the Summoner, as well as other information that could be helpful to Jin-Seong himself.

As Jinseong walked, Tako made a sound for the first time in a long while.

“Gulp, gurgle!”

[Kkuk kuk kuk, you idiot… … Are you happy that you met Casillas?]

It was a sound that Jinseong couldn’t clearly understand, but Heukgu seemed different. Jinseong pretended not to know and followed the summoner while listening to their conversation.

“Gulp!? Gulp, gurgle.”

[Did you think that now, Kashiyas would come looking for you, who only retains the form of the Lotus and doesn’t even have that ability? Hehe, and on top of that, ‘During the Demon World days, Kashiyas was afraid of me and didn’t come’… … .]

“Groak! Gulp, gurgle!”

[The only apostle that ignorant swordsman feared was me… … If Cain gave him his first defeat, then you could say I gave him his first humiliation.]

But I couldn’t just listen.

Tacos in the shape of the Apostle Lotus.

Apostle Direji’s other self, Black Goo.

Because I couldn’t just sit by and listen to the two entities talking as they pleased, even interpreting things in a way that was only to their advantage.

“……Strictly speaking, wasn’t Lotus hibernating in the Demon World’s sea? Since Cassias couldn’t dive all the way to the bottom of the sea, and of course he couldn’t go, he couldn’t fight, but with that-. Anyway, the Apostle’s egos are all saying strange things.”

“Crunch, crunch! Crunch!”

[Don’t you know that this guy’s words are lies, but my words are never lies, Jinseong!]

Jinseong turned a deaf ear to Taco and Heukgu’s strong opposition and realized something new.

The Apostle Casillas is never to be laughed at.

That, apart from Cain, there was virtually no other apostle who could defeat him.

‘But that Casillas… … Chief Ka, or whatever you call him, the chili shrimp… … ‘

Accordingly, curiosity about the already distant summoner was bound to increase.
