There was nothing special about the Grandine Power Plant.
“Is it clear that Manager Ka is in charge of Furman?”
“How many times do I have to say this? Hehe, at least it’s fun to cut when you’re at that level.”
Casillas, who had been summoned at some point, was slowly following behind the chili shrimp, scratching his stomach.
The ones fighting at the forefront were other summoned beings, especially the mid-level spirits including the Spirit King Echeverria, as well as Sandor, ‘Bundor’, and Louise.
“Is this the normal battle pattern?”
“Of course. The system is already well established, so there’s no need to touch it. Well, when you go around Antonjjeol, this alone won’t do, so you have to go all in, from the upper spirits to Aukguk, whatever, anyway.”
Even if it was created before the Summoner Renewal and is still in that state, there will definitely be a skill to summon a higher-level spirit.
In addition, Chili Shrimp said that he also has the Demon Flower Aukuso.
Jinseong nodded and asked.
“Well, of course. Of course. Oh, of course you’re already at a higher level than me, so you’ll probably have too, right?”
“carrot.”
A skill learned at the time of the summoner’s second awakening, .
If we were to estimate the level of Chili Shrimp, who is obviously higher than Jinseong himself, who has reached level 72 in no time, and has even done ‘Anton Jjol’ several times, then it would naturally be that he has completed his second awakening.
“Carrot… ahem.”
“It’s hard to treat someone like Director Gal lightly. Unlike Manager Ka, Director Gal is a bit difficult to communicate with.”
The chili shrimp shook its head as if it was in a state of shock.
Casillas, who had been following behind, suddenly jumped out and growled.
“Are you saying I can be easily fooled? If that’s your presumptuous intention-”
“That’s not true. I said that because it’s about Manager Ka’s work ethic and passion for being strong. I said that because I wanted people to emulate that.”
“-hmm.”
Jinseong was speechless as he watched the clone of Casillas nodding his head in satisfaction.
At least, it was clear that there was no need to relay the black-haired man’s words that were ringing in my head right now: [Look at that ignorant guy~].
In any case, Jinseong was even a little moved by the fact that he was able to communicate with his summoned creatures in this way.
“A true summoner is a summoner.”
“Oh, there are all sorts of jobs like Lexington and the Swindlers, but there’s no job that’s as deeply ingrained in Arad as we are, right?
As if reading his mind, the chili shrimp also smiled with its teeth exposed and made a V sign toward Jinseong.
Partsutsutsutsut-!
It was around that time that Jinseong encountered the main named monster at the Grandine Power Plant, where he had nothing special to fight.
“My strength has returned……..”
Giant Botura.
A giant one-eyed monster with a body made of minerals was glaring at Jinseong and Chili Shrimp.
The final boss of the Grandine Power Plant, defeating the giant Botura before going to the Nihilistic Furman is something that is vaguely remembered in Jinseong’s memory, so it shouldn’t be anything special, but…
“But it feels a little different? An electric fence?”
“Right? I think it was originally like this. When Soul first came, looking at how Niver talked about Con and Biyeon, it might be a scenario.”
“Ah…! That’s it!?”
There is a part of the main scenario quest that you must go through at least once.
An electric barrier blocks the path of adventurers who go to defeat the Fiend of the Void with Niver, Con, and Biyeon.
Con tried to break through it with force by using the skill , but it was in a state where a very strong electric field was spread out that could not be broken through even with physical force.
Eventually, NPC Con decides that it is difficult to force his way through without directly blowing up the generator that supplies energy, and ends up changing his own skills!
‘So Con’s changed into taking out a bunch of Land Runners. It was a gag point hidden like a grain of rice in the middle of the rather depressing Power Station dungeon.’
In other words, in order to defeat the giant Botura beyond the electric field, you must first find the hidden generator and disable it.
Jinseong just rolled his eyes and looked at the chili shrimp.
“Hmm…….”
Neither Cassillas nor any of the summoned creatures seemed to be making any moves to arbitrarily break through the electric field.
That appearance was the part that somewhat disappointed Jinseong.
‘You said you did it many times? Do you think the guy who said Anton Zelda would stop here?’
If things are going this way, there’s no need to party with chili shrimp, right?
At the moment when Jinseong was about to step forward, thinking that he might just be bothering them for no reason.
Wheeeeeeing… … .
The electric field that was in front of my eyes disappeared as if it was evaporating.
“Uh, the energy is gone……”
The giant Botura’s only eye widened.
Jinseong looked elsewhere as he watched her look around.
It was a chili shrimp that was about to launch an all-out attack on the giant Bottura without any hesitation.
“, make a rag out of him!”
The summoner’s nimble actions, such as swinging his whip while throwing paintballs to pin down a target on a giant Botura, would naturally mean that this was all ‘prepared planning’.
“Woahhhhhhhhhh-!”
“Ugh!”
────, ────, ────!
How many black ones are there, and how many fire and water elemental skills are there that shoot out?
Jinseong let out a hollow laugh as he looked at the small silhouette beyond the giant Botura being crushed.
“Huh, huh, huh…….”
As if responding to that laughter, the chili shrimp turned its head to the side and smiled.
“The strongest Hodor in the arena is also the strongest in stealth action! Metal Gear Hodor!”
is one of the basic summoning skills that can be learned by not only summoners but also other female magician professions.
Although it is a goblin in reality, there are things it can do because it is a goblin.
A special force strategy to attract the attention of the giant Botura with giant summons, while summoning Hodor across the electric field to destroy the generator that supplies energy to the electric field.
“It’s not like it’s only been done once or twice, but……the combination is good. It would be difficult to give individual commands to summoned creatures if the distance is far.”
Individual control of so many summons and detailed instructions for each?
For game users, this would be virtually impossible.
It could be said that this is a privilege enjoyed only by those who have been possessed.
“It wasn’t easy for me either. Well, it’s because we’ve been together for so long, Hodor.”
Of course, Jinseong snickered and laughed at the appeal that the chili shrimp itself was the best.
“Hehehe, well, he’s probably the oldest. Then what about Hodor? Cassias is the manager. Sandor and Louise were section chiefs. If the mid-level spirits are the agents, then Hodor is an employee? An intern?”
Then I asked about the system I was secretly curious about.
If we were to compare it to the characteristics of the chili shrimp that handles summons and calls them by their corporate positions, as if they are specifically based on skill level, what about Hodor?
“Oh, we basically have a merit-based, performance-based system, but that doesn’t mean we completely ignore seniority, right? Even so, we’re not a foreign company. These days, even foreign companies tend to give some degree of seniority to Korea.”
“These days….”
“Hmm, hmm! Anyway! Since we’ve been together for so long, it would be right for me to be a Vice President or Managing Director… But in a company like ours, there’s no need for us to have Vice Presidents, Managing Directors, and Senior Managing Directors. So!”
The chili shrimp ran quickly and then suddenly jumped.
Bring both arms to your chest and crouch down, then extend your arms as you land.
“Thank you. Ho, thank you. Hoo!”
The chili shrimp cried out.
For Jinseong, it is an embarrassing and even embarrassing statement.
“Even if it’s a small company, if it’s a corporation, there should be an audit. Structurally, it makes sense, right?”
“Hey, hey, Chili Shrimp.”
“Yes? Why?”
“I guess, um… he named it that to show his affection for the soccer player.”
“You know!? In 2015, Messi won the Ballon d’Or again! But my brother won it the year before last and the year before that! Wow, I didn’t know that our Jinseong likes soccer this much?! Which team and who do you like?”
The chili shrimp said, “I’m so happy.”
Knowing his true feelings, Jinseong had to speak carefully.
There’s no need to kill the excitement ahead of the boss by telling the fans the whole truth about a player who looks so excited.
“No, that… It’s a bit, um, a bit odd to be talking about soccer in this place, right? In front of the boss.”
It may be a perfectly reasonable expression of affection for the chili shrimp that was captured in early 2016, but considering the relatively recent events that have occurred in Korea, it is inevitable that Jinseong will also have complicated and subtle feelings.
The chili shrimp smiled awkwardly, as if embarrassed by Jinseong’s comment.
“Oh, really? I’m sorry. Actually, I didn’t do this either, but my whole family is like that, and I’m the youngest too-.”
“Huh? Youngest?”
“-Oh my! No, let’s go.”
The girl with short red hair ran forward.
Jinseong tilted his head as he looked at the back of the small figure.
‘Huh? Huh? Family, youngest… … ?’
Other thoughts about chili shrimp began to creep into my mind, but I had to suppress them.
Because now wasn’t the time.
“Okay, Chief Ka! Now there’s only Furman left, right? Can you do it?”
“You ask me after seeing it happen so many times. How foolish.”
“Okay, then let’s go, go go!”
Because it was time to face the boss of the Grandine Power Plant, the Futile Furman.
Chili Shrimp ran naked along with the other summoned creatures.
If you were to choose the strongest of Apostle Anton’s subordinates, the monster that would definitely be on the list would be Perman of Nothingness.
‘It’s because of the game’s leveling structure that it appears in the beginning, but… … If it appeared in a raid, it would be set to be almost like a semi-boss. For us possessed beings, we should probably expect it to be at that level of difficulty.’
Even though it’s not like he’s laughing like that, the fact that the chili shrimp looks relatively cheerful is probably because he has something he believes in.
It was this ‘foundation of faith’ that looked at Jinseong himself.
Then he asked.
“…Where is the master of that sword, human?”
The fourth apostle, Conqueror Cassius’s gaze was fiercely directed at Jinseong.
Jinseong flinched for a moment at the pressure of having to look up at the Dark Knight’s body, but soon answered calmly.
“You are the master of the sword? Are you?”
“Hahaha, you’re trying to fool me. That’s funny too. The master of that sword… and the master of that swordsmanship. You’re clearly asking about two different people.”
Casillas muttered, laughing heartily.
The sense of reading the opponent’s intentions and heart, their true intentions, by clashing swords.
What he was talking about was probably Soldoros, the owner of the energy contained in , and Yang-eol, the divine sword of .
As Jinseong shut his mouth, Casillas walked away, scratching his stomach.
“We’ll meet someday.”
There was no need to say anything, and there was no reason, but Jinseong somehow couldn’t stand it.
“……When that time comes, you’ll have to be careful. The energy I borrowed won’t be even one hundredth, one thousandth.”
As a long-time user of the game Dungeon & Fighter, I definitely had resentment towards Soldoros, but I also had respect for him that went beyond that.
Casillas glanced back.
The Fourth Apostle frowned, but this time Jinseong did not avoid eye contact.
He who soaked the steel with blood laughed heartily.
“How cheeky of you to me… Puhahaha, okay, that’s good. I’m looking forward to it too. But before that… I want you to entertain me.”
And then he said.
“The empty furman appears! Chief Ka! Hurry up, hurry up!”
Even as the chili shrimp, which had already reached the ‘boss room’, jumped around and shouted, Casillas’ steps were leisurely.
He said to Jinseong.
“You kill Furman. Then I’ll forgive you for making fun of me.”
“…Uh, yeah? Yes?”
“If not, I’ll play with you, not just Perman, but right now.”
Plain: It was the most terrifying threat to someone possessed by Arad.
