chapter 142
142 – 2. Summoner of the Nine Heavens (89)
#140
Open the iron door at the end of the gloomy back alley where even the light doesn’t come in properly and go down to the basement of the building.
There were several people who stood here as if they were guarding this place, but they didn’t hostile to me. Rather, the way he welcomed them and sent them to the front of the dungeon was like a servant welcoming his master.
It seems that Yashiro has been taken care of faster than I expected. Thanks to that, I was able to enter the dungeon without straining.
The moment I entered the interior of the dungeon while reading a book written about this dungeon from Hive, someone looked at me one more time.
I frowned at the bright red crystal ball perched on top of a huge tower that reminded me of the final boss of the Mo Ring Expedition, and Heize, who reacted to it, took my magic and folded the space where the crystal was located.
[Quest foot…]
Kwajik!!
[The boss [One-eyed Giant of Steel Tower] Has been defeated.]
[Dungeon cleared.]
The space itself is distorted, and the unpleasant sound of crushing reverberates in all directions, bothering the ears.
As long as it wasn’t blocked with magical powers in advance, it wouldn’t be strange if the eardrums burst. When the violence of the overwhelming sound was over, a sign appeared that the boss had died before the contents of the quest appeared.
The place where the tower was located has now become an empty plain where nothing exists.
My mana has been added, but if I can’t even do that, I’ll use it. So, this is a very natural result. This isn’t just arrogance, it’s the confidence you can have because you have a reasonable basis.
The rank of this dungeon is D, which is not very high, but it is a somewhat ambiguous dungeon to be considered completely low.
It is a dungeon that has been hidden like this only because the resources located inside are abundant and of high quality.
In fact, the iron ore and placer mined in this dungeon have high magical power, so depending on processing, they become a high-quality material with high magical conductivity called yellow iron.
The golden armor of [Kumkang Yacha], Which Yashiro often uses for propaganda, is also made with this pyrite as a basic base.
However, the strength itself is weakened because gold with magic power is mixed in the manufacturing process itself. Covering it is additional magical treatment or various enchantments based on excellent magical power conductivity.
Since the iron itself has to be strengthened by making it close to a magic tool by giving handwork from the beginning in the production stage, the time required for processing is also a problem, but it is a tricky material that requires a lot of user’s ability even when used as a material after that.
But to put it the other way around, if you clear those bad conditions, it becomes possible to create armor and weapons that are lighter than iron and have high magical conductivity.
It is large enough to put more things in.
If it is a moderate material, there is an empty space even after enchanting at a level where 1 or 2 can barely fit. If the synergy is well matched, the strength will be certain.
In terms of precision and processing, I need the help of her comet and the nano machines she manipulates, but I can raise it to a similar level if I use a large amount of shadows by myself.
Of course, there is no need to worry because there will be few people who can compare to her professionalism.
I left Comet, Hive, and Heize to move for the supply of materials on their own, and called Growl and Ea around me and ordered them to stand by to protect me.
When Shizu was finally summoned, spiritual energy began to fill the surroundings.
Once the temperature started to drop, the negative energy that had been located inside the dungeon naturally gathered and began to build a cool space without having to maintain it separately.
It pushes out unnecessary things with [Yeomdong] And makes the surrounding space into a completely flawless space that no one else can invade through [Arch of Nothing].
“…With this, the preparation is over.”
Considering the strength of the guy I’m going to summon from now on, I thought it would be better to have a certain amount of sound, so I adopted Shizu, but I was glad that it was made better than I thought.
Until now, the [Summoning Book] Created a space without anything by spreading out something like a barrier on its own, but it will be different now.
As I deal with the soul and understand the things related to it, I feel that my summons are so different.
The soul is basically the same form as water. It is also a water horse with a form.
No matter how much I tear my soul into a new being and then put it back together, it’s normal when my way of acting, which was basically a human being, is melted into it.
But from the beginning, they moved as if their bodies were theirs, used their skills, and even obeyed me.
They have very different personalities and have different personalities. That it’s not normal is what I understand now.
Even if they were familiars, their strength far exceeded the standards of a ‘summoned beast’.
What is the reason? Is there such a potential in the first place? Because my soul is worth that much?
No, those alone are not enough to explain.
When I thought about it, the only mediator I could think of was the [Summoning Book].
This is a skill that even that woman did not know existed.
I don’t know why this happened to me. Maybe this is a device made by unknown people who want to destroy this world.
So I had to be more careful. I thought it was my strength, but I don’t think I’ll really be able to hold on if I get hit and lose everything later.
So, little by little, I plan to take away the work that the [Summoning Book] Was doing. This is the right thing to do until I am convinced that he is completely my strength.
Reference but don’t be swallowed. Use but don’t be used.
In the past, even imitating [Summoning Book] Would have been impossible, but now I am different.
Because it was possible to build a clear form called shadow with magical power, it was easy to create an altar for summoned beasts based on that.
Awesome!
[Ready, Done!]
Even though I listened to my accident, he acted as if nothing had happened. Is it because of my mood that it looks like you are laughing at me saying that you should have done that?
Maybe it’s all just my suspicions and that guy understands my personality, so it’s annoying but I’m going over it.
Thinking about it one by one only made my head hurt. I have to use my brain from now on, but I can’t afford to allocate my thoughts to things that have no answers.
I brushed off my thoughts and decided to focus on summoning.
Chin

Among them, I will choose [Phantom Beasts].
If I had to choose what was lacking in my current strength, it would of course be an attack from the mental system. Physical and magical things are already sufficient and left, so it is right to fill in other deficiencies.
As in the case of Ea, it is possible to put the power of mental attack into another object through customization, but I saw the potential of the object itself as [Phantom Beast].
Return.
If you change it to Chinese characters, you add the number of fantasy and the number of beasts to make it a phantom beast.
It is a general term for monsters that have a form that is likely to come out of imagination or fantasy that has come down from ancient times.
The unicorn I met before also belongs to the spirit world of phantom beasts.
In the first place, since the classification of spiritual objects is divided into those that harm mankind and those that do not, I don’t think it has much meaning in reality. Originally, this distinction is because it proceeds from something extremely anthropocentric.
Anyway, the combination I want to do is this.
Basically, by maximizing the strengths of a guy with the power to charm someone, he breaks down the mental barrier that everyone has and takes advantage of that gap to attack.
Easily explained, it can be seen as a mental version of making the enemy vigilant and stabbing that part.
A hallucination or hallucination has its own strengths and advantages.
For example, there is one that subdues the subject by repeating realistic hallucinations and illusions over and over again.
My strength right now is too forceful and aggressive. In order to subdue the target, it is inevitable to see blood, and I myself recognize that it is the most correct way.
But as a result I get tired.
It is said that lions do their best even when hunting rabbits, but I am a human being. A person who is extremely reluctant to bother. So we need to change the way.
Then I’ll have to use my brain to get rid of the hassle.
The one to be summoned this time will be the one who will serve as the head.
Anyway, I’m the kind of person who prefers to take both by pulling the trigger on the gun I’m aiming at the moment the lion hunted the rabbit.
Eat pheasants, eat eggs, ditch, catch fish, and aim for two birds with one stone, if possible.
Above all, the [Harvester], Who is also the center of my strength, is the main thing to reap something, so it’s best to let him lower his head voluntarily without using his strength.
In that sense, it can be said that the method of making people kneel on their own by inflicting terrifying pain through hallucinations rather than my own efforts is ideal.
The problem is the shape.
You can make it intangible like Haze. But personally, I decided that it would be better for this guy to have a form.
It is a form that even a first-time viewer can naturally feel free to accept. Each person has a different acceptable form, so it would be good if the possible form could be changed.
Then, naturally, an indeterminate form would be better. Among the summons I can select, an indeterminate object already exists, so I create it by referring to it.
The image has the feeling of properly mixing the feelings of jellyfish and hermit crab.
Creating a house of its own by coating the main body with a shell called appearance. Because it is a shell, it can be broken or escaped at any time to create a different shape. It would be better if the texture and texture can be perfectly realized.
In a sense, the completed form became similar to that of a monster called Mimic.
It hides behind its shell and moves. It is to seduce the enemy or trick him into a more benevolent form, and then deal with it as it is.
The subject of reference is Se-Rin Lee. Few, I think, have as much talent for winning people’s favor as she does.
He has empathy and likes to adapt to others, but he also has his own strong personality.
He behaves to the point of wondering if the result of putting all the elements that make the viewer feel attractive is like that, but behind that, the cool and calculating aspect is always settled.
In short, it feels like a thorough puppeteer. It can be seen that the fact that she puts herself into the role is more like Se-rin Lee.
If she is the type to transform into the most desirable form of the opponent by repeatedly bumping into each other, then the summons I will make from now on will recognize all information between the subconscious and the surface consciousness, assemble them one by one, and then assemble them one by one. It is a form of constructing the most ideal form of oneself.
The form will be similar, but the essence will work differently.
I hate to adapt to someone or change a mask to suit him. But that’s not to say that such practices are bad.
It’s just that I don’t like it. The benefits they bring are fully understood.
So let’s use it. It’s hard and troublesome for me to do, so it’s enough to leave it to someone other than me.
Now that the frame of the form I want is set, the next step is the aspect of the soul. When I stretched out my hand into the air, the [Book of Combination] Appeared as if I had waited.
In addition, the [Book of Investigation] Appeared and the first preparation was completed by floating in the air.
I took out the souls of Yashiro Tsugumi and Yashiro Hisame, which I had entrusted to Hive, and prepared the work. When the magical power is generated, the shape of the soul emerges and changes.
If all memories are erased, all the things that the guy called Ferriblood accumulated will also disappear. However, if I leave all the memories unattended, there might be a case where it becomes the same as the summoned beast I will create.
Because the cacophony of memory and the present is enough to slow down the target.
So, by preserving only part of the memory and then inverting everything else to differentiate it, it makes the memory things to be accepted as a simple concept of information.
The first thing to do is add femininity to the egos of guys with strong masculinity.
I have enough souls from robbing Yashiro, so I select and combine those that are similar to or similar to his personality, and exclude unnecessary parts.
In this case, if there is even the slightest gap, it will collapse as it is, but I have the confidence to make even the smallest part as if it were my own.
Manipulating shadows with magical power, he continues to do delicate work that cannot be realized with ordinary people’s hands.
In the process, I add the things I wanted one by one through [Engraving].
The process of redesigning a program called Hon was not comfortable even with lies. When one task is finished, another task emerges. Just when you think you’ve done them, a bug pops up elsewhere and it stops working.
I didn’t rush. If you do it roughly now, it will become a bigger problem later. Take enough time to make it.
The important point here is to maintain the two selves and recognize them as one entity.
The theory is that it is easier to divide the two into one box than to put all functions into one object.
The images are twins. Since they both had experience together, the process itself became very simple.
There was also a case where the combination of plot and puppet was outstanding beyond imagination.
I forgot, Hisame Yashiro’s job was a [Puppeteer]. The power to manipulate someone was combined with the trait of phantom beasts to create an unexpected synergy, so it took on a shape beyond what I thought.
The power that used to restrict or control the movement of a target by simply emitting magical threads became a bizarre force that induced and sometimes forced actions in the target’s depths.
The fact that the medium changed from thread to a poison-like form created by magic must reflect the morphological peculiarity of jellyfish.
Hisame’s side engages the shell, and Tsugumi’s side engages the inside. In this way, one entity with two selves was completed.
In this way, even if one side causes an abnormality, the other side can help it, so it should be regarded as a guy with twice the power as a single person.
“Hmm.”
Completion was simpler than expected. It was something I had been thinking about for a long time, so even though I didn’t make it in the form of a summoned beast, I was confident that this would succeed.
However, this was a bit lacking. I had a strong feeling that something hadn’t fully utilized this object’s potential.
“Shall we merge?”
There are two things I wanted to make today.
One is a summoned beast that is currently being created.
The other is to create a [Similar life form] Literally by adding a shape to the demon field and imprinting a [Similar soul] With an ego added to it.
It’s an object that doesn’t matter if I literally use it because I don’t mix my soul with my summons.
By giving it to an object, the entity inside the object jumps out in case of emergency. The fact that it actually functions itself has been tested and named [Artificial Summons].
This is because it is literally possible to become the owner and accompany an object at any time, without any cost or consumption, as long as there is an object that the object has settled in.
As a game, it’s the same concept as a pet. They’ve got a job to do, and they’re made just to do it.
Depending on how you handle it, it’s made so that you can become a real summoned beast and sign a contract, so in fact, I made it with my thoughts as a filter to develop a self with potential.
I was thinking of mass-producing this and delivering it to my parents this time.
If you think about it, you can see that there are quite a few overlaps between them and the summons we will create this time.
Then it will be possible to take on new challenges based on that.
“…Let’s make it first.”
I quickly mass-produced [Artificial summons].
