chapter 62
62 – Clearly visible
“Uh… Eh, let’s finish it for now. That skeleton seems to have reached its limit, too.”
“Yes? Ah! Yes!… But is the skeleton tired?”
‘Please skip ahead, Helen.’
Glance-
You can see Lee Yeong-chul, whose atmosphere has subsided, glancing at the stretching performance. If you weren’t consciously keeping an eye on him, the skill to spy on him to the extent that you wouldn’t notice was excellent.
‘You’re persistently checking Yeonhee’s condition. Certainly, Yeon-hee’s magic power is also decreasing.’
Yeonhee tried to save a certain amount of magical power in preparation for an unexpected situation, and released the summons according to the number of enemies. However, as the number of encounters with the Lizardmen increased, it was unavoidable that the mana decreased.
– Your level has risen!

‘Okay, invest in Wisdom, Agility, and Recovery… And if you don’t use Agility, you’ll be insecure.’
It was still cramped compared to the graceful movements of the Hunter days, but his movements were gradually improving.
‘Because I’ve definitely gained strength, my speed itself has gone up. I’m very satisfied with my job change as a bomber, but… I’m sorry at times like this. Human greed knows no bounds.’
Of course I’m not even human anymore.
Anyway, we finished the first battle safely amidst my excessive (?) Performance, and started dividing the loot as promised in the team chat.
“Is that really all there, Mr. Yeonhee?”
“Yes, yes… Summons also have a subspace…”
“Wow… That’s really too much. You even have an inventory… Mr. Yeonhee, should I really close my eyes and jump off the roof? If my head is broken on the ground, I’m going to have a second awakening too.”
“Ah… That, I don’t know…”
Yeonhee, who had summoned all of the lizard troops, had already requested that all of the by-products left over from being skinned be transferred to her. In fact, there was no place to use Lizardman’s by-products other than leather, so the other members readily agreed.
Except for the lizardman’s big toenail, which serves as a token, I carefully put the rest in the subspace, and in the meantime, the people who were doing personal maintenance were sitting and chatting. Of course, the subject of the chat was definitely about our summoned beasts.
‘What are you talking about…’
I focused all my senses on my hearing, and I could hear their conversation clearly even from some distance away.
“Aha… Then everyone but me was old acquaintances. Somehow, I thought you looked a bit close.”
“No, it’s just that I accidentally guessed the sum once, so it’s like saying that we know each other.”
“But is Summoner always alone like that?”
“There are summoned creatures next to me. Why?”
“Ah… Right now I can only see the skeleton.”
“Come to think of it, I often don’t see the other summons, but that skeleton always sticks by my side. It’s very strong, and what the hell is that.”
When Jin-kyung looked at Il-wol as if he was surprised again and said, Lee Yeong-cheol responded and thought to himself.
‘Not strong. I was really surprised too. The last movement I saw earlier was like a senior hunter I had seen by chance.’
Contrary to his thoughts, however, he did not lose his composure.
‘Since I summoned that many summons at once, it must have consumed a lot of mana. It doesn’t seem to have any particularly high-class accessories or artifacts, so it will take a long time for the mana to recover… Rather than waiting for it to return, I wonder if it would be better to work in advance with the right timing.’
Lee Yeong-cheol thought of the goblin in his head as he felt his bottom swell, and tried to find his peace of mind.
‘Let’s be patient… The best dinner since I woke up is about to start, can’t it be ruined?’
Lee Young-chul was convinced the moment he saw that the team’s post, including Lee Yeon-hee, was uploaded to the hunter site he had just arrived home and accessed yesterday evening.
‘This is a revelation to work on.’
The reason he gave himself the ability. The purpose of becoming an Awakener. It felt like a mission was given to me.
She looked at the profile of Lee Yeon-hee, who was diligently working on something with the skeleton.
‘Keuhihihik! I really can’t stand it!! Those purple eyes are a masterpiece!! Masterpiece!! I must remove the eyes and keep them separately!!
The first class I accidentally saw on You Tube, Summoner Lee Yeon-hee. The moment he saw her eyes, Lee Young-chul was convinced. She knows that this woman is the most special woman she has ever seen.
She was in the same space breathing the same air as him.
‘You have to be calm… It’s okay not to get excited.’
Yeongchul Lee didn’t show 100% of his abilities when fighting the Lizardmen earlier. About 80%. She figured she’d just have to show a level of proficiency that matched her resume, and in fact she fit in just fine. She is to everyone except Il-Wol-I.
Ilwol had already evaluated Lee Yeongchul’s abilities, taking into account the way he controlled his powers. Of course, Lee Yeong-chul hadn’t even dreamed that the skull was a high enough being to understand him.
‘Helen and Song Jin-kyung are at the E-class level. A woman named Jin-Kyung seems to have more potential, but at least she will die in pain if she goes up to D-class. Before that, thank me for bringing joy and ending pain. Wait a minute! Hee hee hee!’
The problem is summons. No matter how talented Lee Yeong-cheol, who has entered the D class, it will be difficult to subdue all of the summoned beasts.
‘There’s no need to fight with summoned beasts. Let’s aim after the battle. Seeing that all but the skeletons have been summoned even now, it must be that maintaining the summoned monsters consumes a lot of mana. After the next battle, I don’t know if I’ll unlock the skeleton too.’
And there was also a secret weapon.
Plant-based sleeping powder.
He brought artificial sleep powder made from plants that spread sleep powder. It has a terrifying effect that puts the horse in a state close to paralysis, like sleep dust.
‘Time is short, but the effect is immediate. I still get a fever when I think of the arrogant nature school bastard and finally saved him, but I got something, so that’s okay. As soon as we put them to sleep, Helen and Jinkyung can cut off their legs…’
Anyway, we’ll be able to get back to work after two more battles of the same scale.
Lee Yeong-cheol worked hard to write his own scenario and raised the corner of his mouth. He doesn’t even know that there are dark eyes that are watching him carefully.
‘What are you smirking at? A disgusting bastard.’
“Ilwol-ah, shall we leave when we’re done?”
Nod-
While eavesdropping on their conversation, I thought about how I would play Cjanggu now if I were Youngchul Lee.
The summons are stronger than you think -> Avoid fighting with the summons -> Increase the number of summons only during battle -> Release most of the summons after the battle -> Insufficient -> Let’s aim for the timing when the mana is the most insufficient. -> Unlike usual, let’s hit the head a little faster.
Wouldn’t the flow of thought flow in this way?
‘Hmm… I think I’ll watch it at least once more… Maybe after the second or third battle.’
I nodded and went on my way again. Now that he had killed the Lizardmen, the time to meet them would be getting faster.
Twenty minutes later.
‘Why doesn’t it appear?’
“Can I move a little further from the entrance? I can’t seem to see any monsters?”
“It must be a bit difficult here. Let’s go a little further.”
Helen agreed with Youngchul Lee’s question, and we decided to increase the radius of the route around the entrance.
And after another 20 minutes, I was able to meet 9 Lizardmen.
Churalab!!
The situation is a little different from before, that the other side found us first and came running. Of course, I knew, but I judged that there was no need to increase Lee Young-cheol’s vigilance by informing him in advance that the number of enemies was not large.
‘I’m a little tired. Should I just kill him…’
But it couldn’t be because Yeon-hee would be in trouble if she killed everyone. And Yeon-hee also had to know. That there is no one to trust in the dungeon.
“Damn it!! There was no sign at all! When did you come?”
‘It’s been a while, sister.’
I imagined giving Helen, who hurriedly fixes her sword, scolding her like that.
Yeon-hee looked at them and thought for a while, then summoned 4 Lizardmen and Knottooth.
‘I’d like to see them face each other, except for Lee Young-cheol, Helen, and Jin-kyung.’
He must have been curious about the gap between the Lizardmen of this marsh and our summons.
‘We’re quite ahead, but…’
Big!!
Chae Chae Chaeng!!
As expected, the summoned beasts were quite ahead in one-on-one. Looking at how even No. 4, The weakest of the summoned Lizardmen, easily overpowered the opponent, it was clear that the level of the summoned beasts had risen considerably.
On the other hand, the lizardmen of this swamp are all reborn, except for those who are nestled in the deepest place, so of course their stats will be close to the default state.
Fu-wook!
And Jin-kyung and Helen also subdued their opponents more easily than before, and Lee Young-cheol was already crushing a guy’s head with his shield.
This battle started out as a team battle, but was in fact an individual battle.
hehehehe- ha ha… It’s so hard ha…
Beep beep-
As expected, the combination of Jinkyung and Helen is experiencing the most difficulties.
I wonder if it’s not just me who is worried about them, Yeon-hee also looked at them worriedly. The two duo who received Yeon-hee’s gaze raised their thumbs and sent a sign saying that it was okay.
‘Now that the level has risen, it should be a little better.’
Since the bodies of the two duo were subtly glowing, I anticipate that the next battle will be a little easier.
