I Am the Only Non-Returner

144 – There was a Demon King, but there was none.

I was so distracted that I even forgot to upgrade it and summoned an attack sphere.

Blue Sphere+++

– Attack speed/attack power +150%, explosion range +70%

– Synchronized spheres can fire howitzers at designated enemies.

– At least 3 out of 5 shots are sure to hit.)

“It was 50,000 points to upgrade one, right? It’s truly the best value for money. Where…”

– Would you like to upgrade your blue sphere+++ to a golden sphere? Y/N (Cost: 200,000P)

“Kya~ As expected, it’s cheap. Let’s proceed!!”

– 11,600,000P

As soon as all 58 spheres are upgraded, people can be heard screaming in panic from downstairs.

hehehehe-

I wonder if it’s a side effect of collecting all the armor, and strangely, my smile seems to have faded a bit.

I shook my shoulders and burst out laughing, and soon confirmed the completed performance of the golden sphere.

Golden sphere

– Attack speed/attack power +500%, explosion range +100%

– Synchronized spheres can fire howitzers and rear bombardments toward designated enemies.

– In the synchronized state, all bullets must hit the enemy.)

– There is a 50% chance to penetrate the enemy and deal an additional 50% damage to the enemy behind.

“Woah-oh-!! As expected, the sphere!! The damage has increased to 500%?!”

An increase in destructive power of this magnitude was enough to change the very aspect of battle. In addition, rear bombardment became possible and it became possible to target behind enemies who were taking cover. It is as if you can achieve the effect of moving the muzzle in space and firing.

It wasn’t just that. Previously, only 3 out of 5 bullets were applied, but now all bullets are guaranteed to hit the enemy in synchronization, and it also has a function to attack two enemies with a 50% chance.

“At this level, it’s not a golden sphere, but a diamond sphere.”

I think it will make it impossible for you to even go near the shelter!!

Slump, slosh!!

“Then it flowed…”

Lara of Joy After getting on Lara’s nerves by casting her belly shake, I went downstairs.

Looking outside the shelter, I saw a gloomy landscape that had become even darker as the stage ended.

But soon we reached the hall on the first floor, where the shelter people were lightly drinking and chatting.

‘It’s warm…’

– Why did you try to climb on my black panther? He doesn’t want anyone but me and Eun-gyeon to get close enough to start a fight.

– I just took a step because a black panther was coming towards me to support me.

– You don’t think you’re just passing by?

– The world does not revolve around me!

This time, Euncheol, a descendant of the Demon King, a second-year middle school soldier whose speech changed to a strange martial arts style, was being scolded by Lingling while being grabbed by the horns.

‘Now that I think about it, Euncheol is quiet. I thought he would grow horns and he would stand out.’

Although we had told him not to help Shelter A, it was a bit surprising that other people did not hear about Euncheol’s activities.

“Would you like to have a refreshing drink?”

I accepted the draft beer handed to me by Kim Jeong-gi and looked at Eun-cheol. Then, I saw the guy I couldn’t see inside his body hiding behind Euncheol’s heart and glancing at me.

‘What is that?’

The guy inside Euncheol probably didn’t think I was looking at him, so when I looked away, he settled down in the center of Euncheol’s body again and started muttering hard.

As I quietly looked at the shape of his mouth and concentrated my senses, a sound similar to the melody played by Euncheol stimulated my ears. She scratched and read the guy’s information.

Small seed of Kdush, the Demon King of the Abyss

– Kdush, the demon king of the abyss, who established himself in the abyss of all intelligent beings and calmly expanded his territory by using the deeply sleeping ego as his host, was framed by the ‘Watchman of the Beginning’ and lost all of his unique authority. I threw it away. As he was losing his status, he spread the seeds containing his essence into a total of 30 sheets of music and scattered them throughout the dimension.

– If you play the study created by Kdush for a long time, his seeds will germinate in your body, and you will eventually lose your ego to Kdush.

‘Ana, really, what is this?’

So, does that mean that the reason Euncheol is feeling a little different from usual right now is because she is losing her sense of self to that little one-horned devil inside her body?

‘Can’t you recognize it yourself?’

As I was thinking that, Euncheol, who happened to make eye contact with me, looked at me and said.

“Brother, thank you for your hard work today!”

“Hmm, he’s my brother… Euncheol doesn’t call me that, you bastard…”

“Huh… Bro. I don’t know what you’re talking about?”

“That’s it. What do I need to say? Just hit me.”

“Yes?”

Suddenly, instead of drinking beer, I made a bombshell announcement that I was going to beat up Euncheol, and people all blocked the road and opened their eyes wide.

“Hey! What did Euncheol say about you?”

“Oppa, I understand Euncheol’s desire to beat him up, but if you hit him, he’ll really die.”

“Okay, baby. Just hold on, okay?”

Even though Euncheol didn’t say anything, people kept telling me to hold back, as if they thought there was a reason why I was trying to hit him.

But in the blink of an eye, Euncheol was wrapped around his long fingers, and he was dragged in, and his fist was lightly thrust into his abdomen.

Pereook!!

“Kuhuhuhhh-!! Ooh, wow-eh-“

People looked at me in shock when they saw me inflict violence on a middle school student. Soon, I saw Euncheol standing up with even bigger eyes.

Ominous black smoke rises from Euncheol’s body, and he stands up with a strange creaking sound.

[Kihihihi- Uh, how did you find out? It doesn’t look like an exploration type, though.]

“Huh? Euncheol?!”

If an extremely evil snake were to turn into a human, a voice so cunning that one would wonder if it would be like that was coming out of Euncheol’s throat.

“I’ll admit that he’s a great guy. Even when he lost all his power, he used such a trick and eventually succeeded. But he’s lost a lot of perspective, seeing as how he can’t even estimate my level.”

[That arrogant gaze, as if looking down at me, is truly unfamiliar. But it’s something I’ll have to endure for the time being, kekekeul-]

“That’s the end of my appreciation. The good atmosphere was ruined because of you, so I need to get some compensation.”

[Kaal-!! Kahaal!! What a cocky bastard!! I certainly have unusual strength, but I have already become deeply assimilated into this body, so I don’t know what will happen to the child who tries to do something to me- Ugh- Ugh!!]

I covered his mouth and pushed him against the wall, tightly blocking his movements. Then, little by little, the unpleasantly colorful lines that clung to Euncheol’s body began to be burned away with magical flames.

[Kihyaaa!! What a scum!! Ugh!! My, how did I come back like this!!]

“Ah, give me some mouths.”

The guy who put all his effort into taking Euncheol’s body could not even put up a single proper resistance against me. Slowly, it burned into flames and began to lose its spiritual body, which was embodied by magical power.

If a little more time had passed, Euncheol’s body could have been swallowed up, so it was a dangerous situation, so a little heat rose up.

[Kyahaao- Gaal…]

However, when we calmly removed the remnants of the last remaining seed of Demon King Kdush, who had become a bug so small that he could no longer even express his will, there were no more impurities left in Euncheol’s body, and he was able to remain intact as he was. It became possible.

“Ugh… Brother? Oh, it hurts… Ugh!! f*ck the bugs!”

Euncheol came to his senses and saw a hideous, dried, twisted centipede-like bug lying on the floor. He stood up in shock and assumed a strange posture.

I said, shaking his head while looking at that posture.

“Hold your hands more horizontally like this. That’s right. Okay, this is the first form of Tangrangquan, the ‘vigilance’ posture.”

“This posture is not easy. I think I need more training.”

“What on earth are you teaching your child?”

Anyway, I picked up the bug wriggling on the floor and looked through the life of Kdush, known as the Demon King of the Abyss.

“Huuu- um- this is really-“

A life that sinks completely into a dark abyss from beginning to end, and has no pleasure other than occasionally having conversations with those who fall into crisis, gain enlightenment, or are deeply asleep when they come down.

It was like seeing a child standing alone on the highway, looking at cars passing by, and I felt bad.

“No matter what, is it okay to try to steal someone else’s body? You are a seal.”

I picked up the bug and put it in one of the inventory slots.

– You have achieved the task of sealing the evil seed of the Demon King!

– Reward system does not exist… Searching… Reward system does not exist… Searching…

“Don’t give it to me! Just don’t give it to me, you bastards! It’s so crazy.”

People were puzzled when they saw me venting my anger into the air alone, but soon, one by one, I started to fall into the mood again.

Perhaps because Euncheol experienced a small event, the number of things to talk about increased and the atmosphere became more cheerful.

“But Euncheol’s horns are still the same? Oppa, are his horns okay?”

“Huh? Hmm – it’ll be okay. Apparently all the bad energy is gone. Let’s see.”

I placed my hand on Euncheol’s horn for a moment to understand its structure.

“This… Now that I see it, it looks like it can be used as a mana storage device. It seems like it can be used by condensing the mana that is scattered in the atmosphere. It would be nice to convert it into magical energy and use it as a counter at critical moments during battle. “

“Oooh?! Really? Can you even tell me how much I can save?”

Euncheol’s eyes widened at what I said and he asked again. After carefully calculating it, he was able to store roughly 5,000 mana.

5000, Oh my god. He just stayed still, but seeing such good things happening to his body makes Euncheol seem like he was born with luck.

Of course, it was far below my magic power, but it was certain that it was ranked as a magic monster next to me.

As I was looking at Euncheol who was carefully wiping his horn with a tissue, it suddenly occurred to me that the team members’ equipment looked a bit worn out.

Points held: 364,900,100

‘Hmm… Should I give it a try?’

There was no need to limit the realm of creation to grandiose laws and structures that make up the world. And it doesn’t necessarily have to be me who does it.

‘Let’s request equipment production…’

When I thought of the blacksmith shop in my head, my mental body moved along the dimensional path of the shortest route.

Soon, in front of me, there was a short man with a long beard who reminded me of a dwarf I had seen before, and a short girl who seemed to be his assistant, looking at me with her robe covered up.

– What, what!! Who are you!!

– Heeik!! Master!! You said no one would be able to break into the workshop!

The assistant was so embarrassed that he grabbed the teacher’s beard with his short arms and shook it back and forth.

– It’s definitely true!! Who would break through the space created by my great teacher, Master Mastara?!!

– No, this old man has lost his eyesight! Now you’re going to pretend you didn’t notice even though you saw it in person?

‘It seems like the manifestation of the mental body has become so strong that one might mistake it for materialization. If it’s a fake that looks like the real thing, what’s the difference between it and the real thing?’

[Hey, I didn’t come all this way to see you guys making jokes.]

Shock!

– Hee hee… Who the hell are you?
