I Am the Only Non-Returner

149 – It’s not fun, it’s not fun

The beginning of these guys was when the ugly emotional residue that arose from the creation of intelligent life forms gathered somewhere in the dimension.

Those dirty thoughts were not easily dispersed, and eventually crossed the dimension and even invaded the passage connecting other dimensions.

Whether it was the creator god or the designers who created the world in the beginning, at this point they had already gone astray in a completely unexpected direction.

Something that occurs as a derivative of something you have created. Their site effects could not have been predicted no matter how absolute they were.

Anyway, the speed of spread was very slow, but as time passed, the residue of evil emotions accumulated and the speed also increased.

And at some point, when it could no longer expand outward, the debris began to come together again and form a single shape for the first time. It was a rat.

It probably took its appearance from what the people of that era hated most.

The rat was first born in an alley in another world, and for a while it wandered around in all directions, enjoying the world. But the joy is short-lived. The guy was frightened by the people’s malice towards him, and as his instincts told him to do, he ran away and ended up in a room at an inn.

In that room, a creature was sleeping soundly, and the creature inadvertently bit off something hard on the end of its finger and chewed it.

Surprisingly, the hard stuff was very nutritious and tasted good, so the rat started chewing along her finger as if he was possessed by something, and eventually ate every last bit of the woman.

When he came to his senses, his body had grown to a size that filled the room. He was so shocked that he broke the window and ran away, only to have his head cut off by a man who flew in from nowhere.

– Rosherdin!! Why did you suddenly run away? What is this big, dirty rat? The damn smell is terrible!

– Ser, this rat… There’s something unusual about it. It needs to be properly purified and eliminated.

That was the rat’s first death. It took many years to realize the second form, but for the first time, this disgusting being with strong memories of what the rat had experienced was a thought.

‘What should I do to eat something like that delicious thing again?’

It was the birth of a crazy monster with only one evil that bordered on simple obsession. From then on, the monster’s tyranny continued in countless dimensions and time periods, and each time it was suppressed by heroes, the rat became stronger, more evil, and more cunning.

In the end, even the designers were unable to do anything and ended up opening the exit from the cleverly designed passage according to stage 45.

‘These guys who are designers… They handle things in a haphazard way.’

And I could see how lightly they regarded this world. The reason I connected it to the stage in the game was probably because I had a strong desire to see how it would play out.

I watched the life of a monster rat like a short film, but there was nothing that could be of help right now.

First of all, the exit has been destroyed, so the number of monsters will not increase for the time being. But since the exit wasn’t only where I was, a cloud of dust was rising from the other side as well, and monster rats were swarming in.

‘Damn… Something’s strange. There were clearly only two places between us and Shelter A, but have the number of exits suddenly increased?’

It was a shame because I had dealt with the Palaisemoon Dragon in the sky in advance, otherwise I would have been tired in many ways.

I told people that I would prioritize finding and destroying other exits spread out underground. Then, he went down to the basement again and exploded all the magical energy inside his body at once, filling the passage.

Wooooo

‘Where… Where.’

The magic power searched a distance of 5km centered on our shelter.

Sssssut-

One, two, four, six?

‘Chiit- Is the space where the stage is being played affected by the front line being pushed back? Otherwise, there is no way things could have progressed so unstablely.’

Because I had already overcome the level of difficulty of the stage to a certain extent, I was able to have that confidence. I sighed and regained control of the magic I had unleashed.

And thinking that things couldn’t go on like this, we first collapsed the hole in the ground to prevent the monster rats from climbing up, and installed a magical defense wall on the floor of our shelter and A shelter.

Prevent any damage from anything happening below.

If we think of these as pests, couldn’t we spread them like a cockroach takes medicine in its mouth and spreads it to its colleagues?

‘Let’s spread deadly poison. Containing Isabella’s magical energy…’

It was reminiscent of the poisonous gas of her magical power, imbued with the sacred energy of a saint, and her magical energy was split into extremely small pieces and dispersed like smoke.

And surround the smoke with her magic shield so that it does not collide with Isabella’s energy inside…

‘Wait a minute, what do I do with divine power?’

I definitely know what it feels like, but I don’t have the inspiration to implement it.

‘Let’s just do something roughly similar.’

I draw the image of a saint named Isabella, and spin her energy, magic flow, structure, and circuit between her fingers.

And, recalling the moment when we shared her love, I calmly and meticulously packed the scent, color, and nature of her magic that I felt and experienced directly from her, into the space between her poisonous haze. .

‘Spread out in all directions like you’re racing! ASAP-!’

Then, the thick, intangible smoke around me began to spread in all directions along the messy tunnel.

First of all, as I watched the disgusting-smelling rats all around me scratch their necks and then pass out, the performance seemed certain.

However, not a single one of these persistent creatures died, and they seemed to have some kind of resistance to divine power.

‘It’s really jingling. This is why I couldn’t uproot it.’

Among the creatures that these guys consumed while traveling across the dimension, there were many beings with divine powers, such as priests, so they seemed to have some degree of resistance to their abilities.

Of course, I had no memory of eating a being with great divine power like a saint.

‘Even if you can’t kill it, it will be enough to hinder activities until the end of the stage.’

I dug up the ground again and landed on the ground, and there was a hellish island where the existing monsters, the monster rat, and our team members were engaged in a three-way battle.

Actually, we made that prediction 45 stages ago. I wonder if there will be a gigantic monster that has never been seen before.

‘I’m being swayed by these little guys without even thinking about it… I need to reflect on this. If this happens, I’ll have to give up on predicting stage 50.’

The fire was quickly put out, but my sharp senses were still telling me that this was not the end.

‘Phase 2 again? Why is this so boring?’

Suddenly, the monster rats on the ground began to resemble the existing monsters, and the corpses that had burst to death were writhing and gathering in one place, emitting faint threads of ominous dark red magic.

‘Should we just leave it like that?’

I rushed over at once, grabbed the thread of magic, and pulled with all my might. Then the corpses began to be dragged in the direction where I was.

– Wow!! W-what is this!!

– Don’t get too close, but shoot from a distance!

People were scared and started running in all directions when the dead people suddenly moved to one side instead of turning into ashes and flying away.

“Brother, can I pull this?”

“Hmm?! Euncheol, can you see this thread?”

“I can see it completely.”

“Huh… Yes, pull with all your might. You have to pull with all your magical power.”

As soon as Euncheol came next to me and was pulling something in the air, people started to gather one by one.

I shouted to the people, playing tug-of-war with the thread that was quickly starting to come together.

“If you can’t see the red thread around me, please just focus on the battle!!”

Then most of the people who had gathered rushed out to the battlefield again. There were only a few people left.

“Lingling, please move towards the shelter rather than here. There are still too many rats.”

Lingling looked disappointed for a moment, but he rode the black leopard and moved towards the shelter again. Then, from a distance, her monster rats exploded one by one, chasing her stampede.

“Is Lingling the only one to lure?”

“How many inexperienced women are there in the shelter over there? Especially on the rooftop.”

“Huh?”

On the rooftop that Hong Seol pointed to while pulling the string hard, there was the old lady Conqueror shouting something with her satisfied face.

– I didn’t know that staying pure my whole life would help me in times like this!! Yes, I will slaughter all these rats today!! heheheheul-

“······ The conqueror’s grandmother is her virgin…”

It was unbelievable, but seeing the rats rushing to the roof of Shelter A like a swarm of bees, it seemed to be true.

Puppuppuppung-

“You dirty bastards!!”

Kim Hyun-ah, who belatedly found out that she hates bugs, no longer hid her true feelings, and cut off the legs of the rats without mercy. Even though hundreds of writhing legs were cut off, the monster rats’ movements were unstoppable.

Wheeooooo-

After taking the lead in pulling the thread to some extent, I used my last remaining magical energy to condense the thread in one place.

Because almost 2/3 of the threads were pulled, the amount of magic threads gathered at the original gathering place was not large, but they were still coming together to create a huge shape.

I sent about 2/3 of the condensed thread to the dimension where the blue dragon Nila lives, and then looked at the mass of corpses of the monsters that had entered Phase 2.

Perhaps because it was not properly fused, it looked like a mixture of all kinds of waste, and immediately released a large force in all directions, blowing people away at a distance, before turning its head towards our shelter.

– Ugh… I think they’re targeting me?

Linglin looked at the guy from the rooftop as if he was tired of it, and without wasting time, I cut off the space near the guy’s head and kicked it high into the sky.

Push profit!!

A huge amount of blood, like scum, shot out into the sky from the head of the guy whose head was cut off in one go. However, the head that had been severed from his torso rose again, and his face became even more hideous.

“Let’s see who wins.”

1,2,3···17,18

I cut off that disgusting head 18 times. Fortunately, that was the end of it.

The thing could no longer regenerate its head, and slowly limply spread across the ground. And as the team members slowly narrowed down the range from the outskirts, they began to finish off the remaining ones.

Kim Hyuna bothered to cut up the monster that was spread out on the ground like pancakes, and Hong Seol kindly helped Hyuna by burning the cut pieces.

‘Do I have to do this 5 more times? No…’

Something had to be done. It was so messy, cumbersome, and most problematically, so weak that it wasn’t even fun.

Of course, shelters without team members who can explore underground, or other shelters in environments that cannot be manned, may have been helplessly sucked underground.

And when the stage time is over, you will be able to find out how many teams suffered like that.

‘Fun…? Looking for fun. He said he’s gotten a little stronger…’

Pisik-

“Huh? Bro, why?”

“Huh? No, nothing…”

However, the fierce battle with Rosherdin flashed in my mind, and I was longing for something that would make my blood boil.

‘I want to join the battlefield quickly…’
