chapter 52
52 – One Situation, Mixed Judgments
I decided that it couldn’t be that way, but now that I think about it, I knew nothing about this space.
Except for the fact that it was a fairly large space where I was confined until I was summoned by Yeonhee…
Soon I raised my senses and focused on my sense of smell, and I realized that this smell of blood belonged to a goblin.
Could this be inside a dungeon?
I searched for the source of the smell with great nervousness, and it wasn’t long before I found it.
‘hahahaha… What is this…?’
There were hundreds of goblins piled haphazardly to form a small hill, and I could tell that the goblins were the corpses of the goblins I had randomly smashed into my inventory to make skull bombs.
Sug-
When I scratched the skin of one of the goblins with a bone, it was faintly smeared with the poison of a spore snail.
‘As expected, the goblins I put in are correct. Then this is really inside the inventory?’
I was stabbed in the back of the head unexpectedly, and I was lost in thought as I stroked the tingling skull. Is this the inventory that hunters use?
‘······ No. In the first place, if all the inventories of so many hunters are connected to this space, there must be other items as well. However, I haven’t found anything other than what I put in, so if I judge based on the given facts… This is my own inventory. Then it explains why things are constantly in the inventory.’
So… Even if Yeon-hee doesn’t cancel the summons… If I find a way, I can come here?
‘It’s not a place I really want to come in, I don’t know if that has merit…’
Then I suddenly had an idea.
‘If you could escape here in a dangerous situation, what would it be? Then it’s a hit, right?’
Of course, I’ve never heard of a user going into an inventory, but it’s worth a try if there’s any possibility at all.
‘Okay. Keep this for now.’
Feeling that the headache was coming back, I turned toward the door, clearing my head.
After a while.
As I approached the huge door, a familiar message came to my mind.
– The [Summoner’s Helper] Achievement has been activated.
– It was of great help in achieving the Summoner’s achievement. Choose one of three rewards.
‘It’s a pity, they give it to me even if it’s too late!’
I couldn’t guess what kind of achievement Yeon-hee had achieved, but it must have been a difficult achievement to achieve since the options she received when she first gave the artifact came out.
Anyway, the reward option is to select and increase one of the attributes or skills as last time.
‘Hmm…’
I was worried about the skull bomb for a while, but I chose the [Kleptomaniac] Attribute.
[Kleptomania Lv.4]
– Randomly steal skills when killing monsters for the first time.
– 13% Chance of stealing random attributes when repeatedly killing monsters.
Although it has only risen by 1%, compared to the initial 10%, 13% is a number that gives you something to look forward to.
After choosing the reward, I suddenly felt worried.
‘Have you ever been hurt?’
There were things I never thought of here, but when I arrived at the door, I was worried about Yeon-hee.
Yeon-hee would have wanted to fight together, but the result of the battle, measured by my experience and senses, was that at least 3 people were seriously injured or killed.
No matter how much I have [Protect] And the summons are tanking, I couldn’t rule out the possibility that Yeonhee would be included among the three.
That’s why I made a desperate calculation. A way for her to survive safely.
Eat enemies who are close to you unconditionally, starting with their heads.
Magic power wrapped in thick skin.
A monster that is getting more and more frenzied.
The existence of summoned beasts who are not afraid of death and can bind enemies even for a moment.
5 High-level hunters who can definitely deal.
It was a self-destruct attack based on a comprehensive judgment of such information. So, Yeon-hee shouldn’t have been hurt in the slightest.
Kikiiik-
At the end of my thoughts, Yeon-hee called me at the right time and I was sucked into the open door.
* * *
12 Hours ago.
It wasn’t until Ilwol gave Yeonhee a signal to run away that she sensed an abnormal current around her.
I couldn’t grasp the existence of the monster at once, but it was because I felt the light of the magical powers that the hunters had fading quickly beyond the hazy smoke.
Lee Yeon-hee felt her body freeze instantly at the strength of an enemy she had never seen before. But at the same time, if you leave behind such a monster and run away, how much pain the hunters here and the citizens evacuating outside will suffer…
At that thought, fear arose.
So I declined. Even if Il-wol’s choice was objectively the right answer, I decided that it was something I had to do.
And there were a few C-class hunters who hadn’t left yet, and if you add your own summons to them.
I thought it would be possible with the incredibly strong Ilwol.
‘We have to evacuate first!’
Sent signal 4 and spread the gathered hunters in all directions. Then, in the direction of the monster holding something like a huge trap and attacking with sonic waves, Lizard 2, holding a cracker, was sent.
Churrup!!
The Lizardman quickly ran to where he was instructed, and an unpleasant vibration sounded from inside his arms.
Prick!!
In response to the aggro of ironclads thrown by Lizardman, a monster later called ‘Speaker’ turned the trap downward.
Thanks to that, the sound waves were concentrated in the wrong place, allowing the hunters to move freely for a moment.
But it was only a stopgap. I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but it was because dozens of the last remaining monsters were gathered next to the ‘speaker’.
Puck! Perk!!
The surrounding goblins and kobolds beat the iron beetle madly with a club, and soon the outer shell was broken and the summoning was canceled.
However, the monsters who killed the sturgeon didn’t come forward for some reason and kept their positions.
It seemed as if they had decided that protecting the ‘Speaker’ monster would be advantageous to the battlefield.
‘ASAP!!’
The speed of casting Lee Yeon-hee’s summoning spell became urgent due to the unusual movements of the monsters.
At that time, Il-Wol carried Yeon-Hee and quickly moved somewhere. Even then, Yeon-hee thought that she was moving to prepare for the final battle with the C-class hunters.
Hwiririk-
f*ck!!
“Whoa whoa!!·······”
While casting a spell, the slime wrapped around her arm was hit by a card and exploded in the air, killing her. I unknowingly bit my lip.
(Oh Hyo Hyo Hyo!! Ran! Appearance!! It was the same as before, but I can smell the thick smell of death!)
I summoned the spirit Ran, the remaining five Lizardmen excluding No. 1 And No. 2, As well as the kobold and the slime that had just died.
At that time, I felt a shadow fall in front of my closed eyes.
Kungkung!
The Lizard Man took his defensive stance, punching himself in the chest.
‘Lizard No. 1… What about Sun, Moon?!’
Then Ilwol leaned his upper body on the ground as if walking on four legs and ran forward.
She usually looks dull, but she has judgment far above average, at least in combat situations.
Seeing dozens of bombs flying somewhere in Ilwol’s arms, Ilwol realized the intention right away.
‘Why? Didn’t even fight properly? Are you that strong of an enemy?’
It was true that there was a significant difference between the abilities of the monster that Ilwoli’s senses measured and the monster that Yeonhee guessed.
“Sunwolah!! An-“
Since it was already too late to say no, she swallowed inwardly and shouted, pointing to the place where Ilwol ran to the C-rank hunters.
“Over there!! Where he is!!”
All at once, the heads of the hunters turned along Yeonhee’s fingers, and soon a series of flame explosions reminiscent of a fire wall occurred.
“?! There’s a guy in the center of the explosion!!”
Did the monster lose his ability to stealth from the flames? A C-class hunter next to him shouted that and jumped out.
Following the woman who ran forward as if holding a rapier, the rest of the hunters spread out and prepared to cast their skills.
“I-I’ll let my summons enter first!!”
Il-Wol showed it in person. How she should use her summons. And she wanted summons too.
Kleurrwa!!
Thump! Thump thump!!
The eyes of the summoned beasts following behind him said that.
“That’s great! If you can catch me somehow! I’ll give you a good shot!!”
The man who stopped the card grabber raised a heavy hammer and answered.
When I approached to close range, the flame explosion stopped and only thick smoke floated around the area. And in it, a monster with a huge physique and a very small silhouette swayed against it.
‘I’m still alive!!’
“Sunwolah!! Wait a little longer-“
Awesome!!
The monster’s huge mouth swallowed Ilwoli’s head.
“Ah! No!! Guys, help Ilwol!”
The Lizard unit led by #1 was already rushing, but it was a little late.
Bagagagak-!
The head that the monster had swallowed was ripped off high into the sky and stuffed into its mouth.
And.
Kwagwagwagwagwang ㅡ!!
Fire flashed several times within the monster’s mouth, followed by several explosions.
Pulsuk-
The skeleton, which had lost its head, collapsed on the floor so weakly.
“Ah…”
She was furious.
“··· Kill··· Never miss!!”
Khehehehe!!
When the monster whose entire face, including the lower official, was blown off by an explosion in its mouth, couldn’t overcome the pain and knelt down on her knees.
Churleup ㅡ
Suddenly!! Shhh!!
The Lizard troops, who did not miss the opportunity and attacked the monster with machetes, clung to the monster’s arms and legs and grabbed it tightly in order to fulfill the order of the play.
Cheolup-!! Churup!! (Even if you die… Don’t miss it…)
According to Lizard 1’s order, the lizard unit tenaciously resists the resistance of the monster who struggles as if in a fit. They looked like they would fall off at any moment, but their spirits were extraordinary, so they managed to persevere.
Surprisingly, the monster showed great strength and killed the two lizardmen hanging from her arms by lowering them to the ground.
However, their goal was already achieved.
Thanks to Lizardman, the skill of 5 C-class hunters was accurately falling on the monster.
