Episode 096.
[Unique skill, ‘s effect increases stats when evolving in proportion to the amount of gold donated.]
[You can spend a minimum of 777 gold and a maximum of 7,777,777 gold.]
‘You need gold?’
Isin opened his eyes as if he was surprised.
I think it’s probably due to the influence of the unique skill, but anyway, this is the first time I’ve seen a summoner’s evolution material be gold.
And what was even more surprising was that Isin already had that much gold.
[The adventurer currently has ‘10,177,450 gold’.]
It’s hard to believe that this amount of money belongs to a user who has never made a single deposit!
Considering that 10 million gold could be converted into cash at the current exchange rate and receive a similar amount of Korean Won, it was an absurd amount.
Of course, it was an amount of money that could never be obtained through hunting alone, and in Isin’s case, most of it was obtained through PK.
‘… Did I kill that many?’
It was hard to believe, so I searched my memories, but looking back, I realized that I actually killed a lot of people.
Just the Black Tiger Guild members alone killed close to 100 people, and before that, during the rescue quest for Arin and her party, Isin killed most of them.
Since they were all users with high levels and belonged to mid-level guilds, they were able to make a lot of money through PK.
However, since Lee Shin had never been a victim before, he simply could not remember properly.
If something similar had happened to me, I might have followed and harassed the other person until they gave up.
…anyway.
After confirming that he had enough gold, Isin immediately began evolution.
“would.”
[I accept evolution.]
[Please set the gold to be offered as a sacrifice.]
“To the max.”
[Please check again.]
[Is this really the maximum?]
“uh.”
[7,777,777 gold is deducted as an offering.]
[The power of greed boils over!]
[The evolution of the summoner, begins.]
Brrrr!
As nearly ten million gold evaporated from Isin’s inventory, his tentacles began to tremble slightly.
A disgusting sight.
Fortunately, however, the time taken for evolution was short.
In an instant, the moist outer surface of the tentacle dried and shriveled, and new, fluffy tentacles sprouted from within.
Isin narrowed his eyes.
‘What has changed?’
The newly sprouted tentacles had not changed much overall, but their tips were slightly different.
If the original shape was simply a pointed shape at the end, after evolution the end was slightly split.
There were still changes beyond just appearance.
Tiring.
[The power of greed has been stabilized.]
[The seal on the main body is partially released.]
[Obtain a second leg.]
[Obtain the third leg.]
[The power of sacrifice promotes growth!]
[Obtain the fourth leg.]
[Acquire the fifth leg.]
[Evolution is complete.]
[The name changes from to .]
‘oh?’
In addition to the changed appearance, the number of items has increased to 5!
It was an amazing result brought about by a single evolution, thanks to the enormous amount of gold being thrown at it.
Isin, who let out a small exclamation, checked the details.
“Status window.”
The Bridge of the Forgotten God
•Grade: C+ (Growth type)
It is a creature with little self-reliance. It is largely dependent on the will of its master.
Unique skills , , and can be used.
Currently, most of the skills and body are disabled. You can activate them by growing the water.
“hmm…?”
The summon descriptions remained largely unchanged, but there were subtle changes in some areas.
‘Without will’ had changed to ‘With little will’, and above all, a new skill had been created.
[???’s teeth]
•Bites the opponent and injects a deadly poison. The poison paralyzes the opponent and increases the damage taken.
It didn’t seem like the tentacle’s own combat power had increased significantly, but it didn’t really matter.
After all, this god mainly used his tentacles to tie up his opponents’ feet or block their vision.
On the other hand, if you think that it added to the strengths of that part, it wasn’t a bad skill.
However, there were also unexpected side effects.
To be exact, Lee Shin was okay, but the people around him were not okay.
Wiggle.
“… … Ugh.”
“?”
Black and wet… .
The sight of five tentacles writhing around the god with strange tongue-like things flickering at the ends was too jarring for most others.
In particular, Jung Yu-ra’s reaction was dramatic.
Arthur and Dokgo could only frown, but she, who had a weak stomach, took a step back as soon as she saw the wriggling tentacles.
And at that sight, Isin’s eyes sparkled.
‘This could be put to good use too.’
When threatening someone.
Once you catch it, wrap it around your tentacles… (omitted).
Depending on the opponent, it may have worked much better than threatening to kill them.
‘I should try it when I get the chance.’
This was a self-assessment that it was a good idea.
“Let’s move.”
“yes.”
Anyway, now that the 8th floor conquest and tentacle evolution were complete, Isin proceeded to the 9th floor conquest without delay.
There was no need to waste time finding the passage to the 9th floor since the Black Tiger Guild had already found it.
-Color.
Isin sets out to find the golem.
The opponent appeared shortly thereafter.
[Guardian of the Green Dungeon]
The golem’s color had changed, perhaps because the stairs had changed.
As soon as the golem saw Isin, he got excited and ran towards him.
Kwakwakwang!!!
“!”
Isin, who dodged the opponent’s attack by jumping backwards, opened his eyes wide.
Even though it’s only one floor higher, the Golem’s defense and attack power have increased noticeably.
However, it was only a little surprising, and it was not a problem that posed a great threat to Isin.
The attack power went up, but it didn’t matter since it was a problem that didn’t get hit anyway.
The defense was helped by the new tentacle skill I just got.
Phew!
-intruder!
-Kill him!
Golem attacks pouring in from all directions.
And through them, a filament of tentacles passed like a flash of lightning.
As I used it intermittently whenever I had the chance, I soon found myself handling the tentacles as if they were my own hands.
hardening.
Bam!
[The golem’s hard shell reduces impact.]
[Damage is absorbed.]
The tentacles hardened just before touching the golem, digging into its outer skin just a little.
Immediately after, Isin used the skill ‘???’s Teeth’.
The effect was better than expected.
[Spraying poison.]
[Golem’s resistance…]
[A powerful poison penetrates the golem’s resistance and digs in!]
[The opponent is addicted.]
[While intoxicated, damage taken by enemies increases by 17% and they are slowed.]
The golem’s color changed to black and its speed noticeably decreased. The golem was already slow, but it became even slower!
But that wasn’t what surprised Isin.
‘This works?!’
Golems are inanimate objects.
‘???’s Teeth’ was a type of neurotoxin that increased the amount of damage taken from the opponent and caused a ‘paralysis effect’.
Since this type of poison usually doesn’t work on inanimate objects, I honestly had doubts while writing it, wondering, ‘Will this work?’
But it worked.
There were two possibilities.
The golem actually looks like that and is judged as a living being, or the skill used by the god is incredibly high-level.
Skills with high ‘level’, such as Isin’s first sword, usually have high strength correction effects.
And this is sometimes applied in a way that goes against common sense.
The description of the sword states that it ‘eliminates the sound of attacks using a sword’, but in reality, it seems as if all the sounds made in the process are erased.
The first one was too unlikely, so it seemed more reasonable to consider it the second reason.
There was a basis for this.
Even though it is of a low rank now and is only in the form of a tentacle, its true body is a god.
It wouldn’t be strange at all if the skill level was set high, like the sword of murder.
‘It’ll be worth watching if the rating goes up a bit.’
Thanks to that, hunting was easy.
As the Golem’s level increased, its damage increased more than its defense, so the hunting speed was faster than on the 8th floor.
Crunch!
[Defeated a group of golems.]
[Gain experience points.]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
“…hmm.”
Isin paused for a moment after cutting down the last golem that Gilaim had lured.
Although Yishin did not need to rest yet, the two people behind him were too tired to keep up with Yishin’s forced march.
‘I can’t help it.’
People and objects, if you push them too hard, they will break.
Lee Shin said, smacking his lips.
“Let’s take a break.”
“…yes.”
“uh….”
The two men, exhausted from the hunt that had lasted for hours, answered in weary voices.
While the two people sat down and rested, Isin checked the minimap.
[Minimap information is updated.]
[55% of the 9th floor has been developed!]
[The dungeon master has detected the presence of an intruder.]
[The ominous atmosphere grows stronger.]
55%.
It started at 30%, so it went up 25% in just a few hours.
Even with the assistance of party members, it was an incredibly fast speed.
Yishin nodded with satisfaction.
On the other hand, Dokgo, unlike Isin, was unable to come to his senses.
It was natural.
Because the enemy finished in just a few hours the area that the Black Tiger Guild had developed over several days.
‘Oh, crazy…’
Surprisingly, what they showed on the 8th floor wasn’t everything about the opponent.
Rather, its true value was revealed on the 9th floor.
As Isin gradually became accustomed to the hunting method of herding, and with the help of evolved tentacles, his hunting speed became even faster.
At this point, more questions arose than respect or fear.
‘Who the hell are you?’
Even if you judge Lee Shin’s skill level to be low, it was far beyond the level of the average user.
Just looking at his movements, you would believe he was just a high ranker.
however….
‘… Is this the first time I’m seeing you?’
So it was more questionable.
How could a user like this not be known until now?
It’s harder to not become famous than to become famous, so no matter how hard you try to hide it, there must have been chaos around you…
‘Is it because you’re a user of the Eton Kingdom?’
It was just a random thought, but it seemed very possible.
The Kingdom of Eton has a very small number of users compared to other kingdoms.
As such, it was a kingdom where one could easily find unknown hunting grounds if one wanted to and tried to hide.
While Dokgo was lost in thought, Isin stood up and spoke.
“Let’s go now.”
“yes.”
After getting enough rest, Lee Shin immediately went out hunting again.
How much time has passed like that?
After a long day of forced marching, Jeong Yu-ra and Arthur’s faces turned pale again.
Crunch!
“This is the last one.”
“okay?”
Isin cut off the core of the last remaining golem.
A golem with its slanted cut rolls across the dungeon floor, and a moment later.
A message appeared before Isin’s eyes.
[The golem horde has been defeated.]
[Gain experience points.]
[Level Up!]
[I’ve explored all the floors of the dungeon!]
[The dungeon’s ominous atmosphere becomes stronger.]
[You can now enter the lowest level of the dungeon.]
Gilaim asked.
“Are you going right away?”
“I have to go.”
“… … !”
“Oh, you’re going right now?!”
Thanks to that, Arthur and Jung Yu-ra woke up in surprise after resting as if dead, but Lee Shin’s decision did not change.
Even so, it wasn’t something that would take long since only the boss was left… .
Above all, this wasn’t particularly difficult.
“This is the last one.”
“… … .”
“You just need to buff from behind.”
“Aras… … .”
The two people got up and started to tremble at the sound of Yishin’s words.
