A Sleepy Summoner Wants To Rest

44 – 1. Academy (44)

#44

The eagle, which was rapidly descending, began to rapidly rotate its body. The sharp claws, like blades, were placed in front of them and rotated, just like the blades of a blender.

As if the timing was right, he joined the group of swallows rushing from all sides, and he was surrounded by enemies in an instant.

“…!”

Echidna did not panic and moved her body calmly.

I thought of the best way to defeat the enemy in that short time, and my mana began to heat up. In an instant, the pale red aura that began to radiate from her body reached her arm holding her mace, and Echidna stamped it to the ground without hesitation.

Kwaaang!!

The fragmented floating stones bounced off and scattered all over the place. As the dust rises and Echidna’s figure disappears in an instant, while she panics, she tries to attack her, aiming for the place where she was seen at the end.

Boom!

But Echidna has already left the spot. As the attack cut through the air and instinctively flapped its wings to soar, the dust that obscured the view flew in all directions.

Then, as if she had waited, pink magical powers appeared from within the swirling dust.

The mace held in her arm was evidence of her magical power, and the color of her magical power, which had shimmered in a pale red light, had changed to a dark red color.

“…Kikkik!?”

The eagle spotted Echidna and quickly tried to fly up, but in that moment it was not enough to dodge her attack.

Kwaddugguk!

She had no choice but to attack, but the guy’s beak was shattered and crushed by the slowly approaching cross section of the mace. That was the last sight the eagle-type monster saw.

Puff!

The eagle’s body literally exploded from the violence that came with only overwhelming force without any technique or technique. The corpse exploded and blood was sprayed everywhere like rain, but Echidna did not stop. Rather, she gladly met her falling blood and ran towards the swallow’s monster that aimed at her.

“Kieek..!”

Swallows, frightened by the sight of her bloody, smiling face running towards her, went mad and scattered in all directions to avoid being caught. It did not have the orderly appearance it had seen before.

Chin

Echidna, who understood that her own speed was not enough to keep up with the speed of the small birds through the battles so far, she rolled hard on the ground, causing chunks of floating stones that she had broken to float to the ground. Made.

It was using the feature of the floating stone that comes to mind when touched by her magical power. She swung her mace like a baseball bat aiming at the stones that floated up.

Kaaang!

Puck!!

In an instant, the stone mass accurately penetrated the body of one of the swallows and even shattered the wing of the owl-type monster that was preparing the magic behind it.

When one swallow died, the others disappeared like a mirage. This is because the main body that will maintain the clone has died.

Kwajak!

The battle was over when he finally smashed the head of the owl that had fallen to the ground.

“…”

After enjoying the remnants of the battle, he shook his body like a water-soaked animal and began to shake the blood off his body. Then, frowning as if he had touched the wound, he quietly put his hands together and began to pray.

Perhaps she was bored of waiting, Se-Rin Lee, who intervened in Echidna’s battle, whispered something into her ear, and after that, she began to do that. She asked what she said, but she dismissed the question by saying that it was a conversation between women.

I can’t answer, but I was thinking of raising him as a priest or a priest anyway, and since his appearance is all about his appearance, it seemed like he was looking at a picture, so I just let him do whatever he wants.

Each of those actions has a huge impact on evolution choices.

Perhaps she implicitly realized what I wanted and was trying to achieve it in her own way.

As if to answer her expectations, I delivered her magic power to her, and as I watched her wounds begin to heal quickly, I trampled on the bone of the struggling fellow under her feet.

Wow!

[The level of Has risen.]

[The level of Has risen.]

[The level of ‘S skill [Little Devil] Has increased.]

[Intelligence has increased by 1.]

[The level of Has risen.]

[The level of Has risen.]

The level went up all at once, probably thanks to successive defeats of higher rank enemies. In addition to that, the level went up, as if touching the monster while taking care of Echidna was credited.

With this, Echidna’s level has reached 7.

The level up speed is faster than I thought, and the skill proficiency is significantly lower than expected. I realized that the growth itself is fast, but the balance is bad.

Of course, the level is important, but it is because the potential comes out only when the skill grows beyond that and the ability level increases. The other side is over, so this one should come to an end soon.

“Kkwaaararak…”

I looked back. Then, a guy caught in the shadow net created by [Set Trap] And unable to move came into sight.

The feeling is similar to that of pterosaurs in the primitive age. The place where the film should have been originally was torn, leaving only a bony skeleton, and the neck is half-bent and swaying dangerously, but it is still alive.

I squeezed the shadow as if pulling him. The gigantic body instantly took the form of a cocoon, but the repulsive force beyond that began to resist Miller. It must be squeezing out the last remaining deadly energy.

I ignored it and put more mana into it.

Quack!!

When I squeezed the hand linked with magical power, the cocoon of the shadow was squeezed and bloody water spurted out. When I couldn’t feel the unique microscopic movement of the creature felt inside, I let go of the shadow.

[You have killed the named [Cloud Dragon of the Sky].]

[Dark clouds begin to enter the clear sky.]

All that was left was a mass of clouds that began to disperse like fog, and a magic stone that was bigger than normal guys and emitted a brilliant light.

[The summoner’s job level has increased.]

[Acquires the skill [Guard] Through repeated mastery.]

[The level of the skill [Advisor] Will increase.]

[The skill level has increased by 1.]

[The level of the skill [Blunt weapon] Increases.]

[The strength ability has increased by 1.]

[The level of the skill [Throwing] Increases.]

[The skill level has increased by 1.]

The experience was sweet, probably because he was the name of a C-rank dungeon. Perhaps it was because he hunted the named like he was protecting Echidna, but he also acquired a new skill that allows him to gain compensation when protecting someone.

Let’s open the status window as soon as possible and adjust the points obtained by leveling up. Kalion and I raised intelligence, Graul raised strength, Echidna raised strength to 10, and invested all remaining points in luck.

With Echidna’s current skill composition, her strength stats cannot be self-sufficient, so investing in her strength is the right thing to do.

The reason I invested in luck wasn’t much, I just felt it. Originally, it would be correct to increase her intellect, but seeing that the Luck stat increases whenever the skill level of [Her self-religion] Increases, she judges that there must be some connection between the priest or priest and the Luck stat, so she lowers the Luck stat. Raised

“Huh”

After tidying up, I looked up and looked ahead. In addition to what was hidden between the floating stones, I could see a stone gate hidden at an angle that was hard to see at a glance.

The ones you just caught appeared the moment you approached that stone gate. The last guy I caught was like the leader of the group.

Seeing that the name mark actually came to mind, I guessed that it might be a name that I would definitely encounter, like a kind of gimmick. Even after defeating them, they disappeared leaving behind only magic stones, not corpses, so it’s probably a system that regenerates after a while to stop those who approach this place.

As the name Undragon suggests, it mainly used bizarre attacks, such as wrapping clouds around its body and spraying rain and hail or shooting lightning.

Even so, there was no need for Kalion to come out separately, and it was organized in the line of Growl and I who rode behind him.

Graul made use of his experience of stepping on stones that floated in the air in the previous [Gladiator’s Arena] And this time, he performed a stunt by riding on a floating stone embroidered in the air and moving quickly, rather quickly following a cloud dragon that moved as if swimming in the air. Could occupy

Thanks to that, I was able to get rid of him without having to ride Kalion’s back.

I turned and looked at Lee Se-rin, then pointed my thumb toward the stone gate and opened my mouth.

“Looks like a progress point?”

“It is the crest of the ancient Fargea Empire. Most of them are broken and worn out, so I don’t know what that means, but I do know that they were made to store something roughly.”

I nodded at the words of Se-Rin Lee, who began to spread information as if in response to my words, and quickly scanned the text and immediately [Recorded] It, then added an annotation saying Ancient Pargea Empire.

If you don’t investigate these things properly later, your head will only hurt. Anyway, if you say storage, it won’t be very important. It’s probably only high in archaeological value, and there won’t be much income beyond that.

If there is something important here, there is no way that the awareness is low, no matter how heinous the environment is.

In a place where they didn’t half turn it into a research center by saying they would investigate this place with their eyes on, the usefulness of this ruin is tantamount to the bottom line being revealed.

“Kalion and Graul wait outside, then go inside.”

I have to go inside. I have a rough idea of what’s inside.

“…!!”

“Yeah~”

Seeing Echidna, who nodded and affirmed infinitely at my words, and Serene, who spoke loudly while drooping at the tip of her words like an elementary school student, naturally frowned.

It’s only natural that I’m paying attention to Echidna because she’s my companion, and she’s someone I’ll use in the future. It’s like the process of making a weapon, starting from the stage of her material, but she’s doing that while getting stuck in it and lowering her own mental age.

Do you really want to do that?

I couldn’t help but sigh when I saw the old man complaining about things like that. Let’s ignore That’s the answer.

‘The inside is cleaner than I thought.’

I thought this place would be similar to that or the level of dust would be white because the doors outside were all worn out.

There were letters seen from the outside inside as well, but Lee Se-rin doesn’t seem to have any intention of checking them. Seeing her looking at her surroundings with a moderate gait, as if she were visiting a museum, she was confused whether this was a dungeon or not.

Still, it seems that there are no enemies at all. She was hiding by sticking to the wall inside like a gum scab, and then grabbed the bat-shaped enemy that was running after us with her hand and broke her neck in half.

“Now”

Just in case, I roughly bound it with a shadow and threw it backwards. As if waiting, Echidna swung her mace to finish it off.

No matter how C-Rank they are, they were easier to deal with than goblins, thanks to the [Subdued] Effect, which was maxed out through battle.

It is a mechanism that increases the abilities of not only me but also those subordinate to me, so even Echidna, the weakest among us, has gained 400 abilities, so even if she just pushes with her strength, she will be able to catch at least the names here by herself.

As we went deeper, the light disappeared and it became darker. I put food in the shadow, but not a lantern, so I used magic to strengthen my eyesight.

Usually, it is a normal method to use it to see far, but you can get used to the darkness by using it like this. It was a temporary measure, but since his abilities were so strong, he was able to move forward somehow by pressing down with his magical power.

Still, it was difficult to capture the enemy like before, so he ordered Hive to search and kill the enemy.

I don’t know if it’s a characteristic of the guild raven or a bird-type monster, but unlike me who can barely see straight ahead, hive moved well even in the dark.

This is why it’s good to have competent subordinates.

Not the best, but second best not bad. The best thing is to acquire and use a skill that improves night vision or night vision, so it will be necessary to make your eyes accustomed to the darkness when time permits.

Let’s leave it as a common homework to be done with the introspective work.

“…That’s the end.”

After dealing with enemies for a while, I saw the light at the end. It was not artificial light, but the light of the sun shining down through the cracks in the broken floating stone.

There was nothing very important about where the light came down.

There was a huge hall reminiscent of an audience room somewhere, and after passing through the room where traces of someone’s life remained, an old tombstone glistening in soft light was placed in the place where the throne should have been.

Combined with the dust glistening in the sunlight, a not-so-bad background was produced.

The person who built this space must have excellent aesthetic sense and architectural skills. It is close to impossible to create such a landscape naturally.

It was the composition and arrangement of objects that took into consideration the angle of the sunlight and even after anticipating that it would become old over time.

In other words, this place is not just a storage room, but a place for those who are sleeping under that tombstone. Tomb and graveyard. It is an artistic tomb made for just one person.

[Discovered the ancient hidden style and its true meaning.]

[Progress: 20%]

After confirming it, the system sent an affirmative message.

Since one progressed by 20, it must mean that there are 4 more similar to it. There could be more, but considering that this dungeon was only C rank, the probability of that would be small.

“It’s pretty.”

“Anyway, it’s a grave”

“Even so. If I can meet my end in a place like this, I don’t think it would be that bad.”

Seeing him talking calmly, which is rare, I tried to open my mouth to say something, but just shut it.

If you live for a long time, there are times when a sudden strike comes and you want to tremble and mumble something that is not in your heart.

At times like that, it’s best to just leave it as it is. There is nothing more irritating and disheartening than asking for advice or regards.

“…Aren’t you comforting me?”

“My feelings are too precious to buy cheap sympathy.”

“Pete, did you know that being too expensive won’t make you popular with girls? Personally, it’s nice that the bugs don’t get caught, but it would be nice if you were kind to me~ Like?”

“Noisy”

Look at that. As usual, it started operating normally again. People don’t change that easily. No matter how much opportunity there is, nothing can change dramatically.

Especially if it is someone who has lived like that for a long time. So, she just has to live as she pleases with the way she lives and endures.

“Let’s go out”

Let’s quickly raise Echidna’s level to 10. And I’ll go back after I’ve played enough to be satisfied. I don’t really want to go out, but there’s a welcome party for freshmen on Sunday, so I want to go back at least before evening.

When I went back the way I came and headed outside, Growl, who was lying on the floor, got up and came out to meet me.

Looking to the side, Echidna seems to have accumulated experience points to catch, and there are monsters in a half-dead state with her body broken or torn somewhere in the [Force] Magic circle.

During that short period of time, quite a number of guys had flocked to it, and there were quite a few of them.

“Ah..?”

“What?”

Is the problem that there are not only monsters there, but also people lying in a state of fainting? Seeing that, Lee Se-rin’s voice overlapped with mine as if it had been matched. However, the feelings contained in it were the exact opposite.

“What is this again…”

For some reason, I felt like I was already getting annoyed because I felt like I was caught up in something bothersome. Graul and Kalion began to notice me as my brows furrowed at the visceral level of rejection.

Hive had been hiding in the shadows for a long time, and Serene’s eyes were twinkling, saying that she would watch something interesting beside her. Somehow, considering that I was called out by that woman and dragged around, I was lucky. f*ck.

“…?”

Only Echidna, who didn’t know my temperament yet, tilted her head, wondering if she had read my feelings, with a nervous expression on her face.

Yeah, what’s wrong with you? I ordered Echidna to deal the final blow to the captive monsters.

“…”

Since it was an order, she nodded in agreement, but as she kept glancing at me and the monster, her expression seemed full of ambiguity and incomplete elements.

Perhaps you understand why I gave the order in your head, but you can’t understand it in your heart.

All of her fights she has done so far have been fierce ones. That’s why it must be awkward because it’s the first time to be openly fed like this.

To compare, it is the difference between fighting and trampling. This time, I want her to know the difference clearly. Only then will you be able to clearly distinguish between public and private.

I don’t really care if I laugh out loud in a battle where my blood boils and my flesh trembles.

However, you should know that violating the things that existed below is not a pleasure, but a ‘work’ that requires you to refer to the annoyance and suffering.

If you start to laugh while breaking bones with a mace, it’s not a battle fanatic, it’s just a rare murderer and a crazy psycho.

As I conveyed my thoughts without any filtering, she nodded her head with wisdom and raised her mace with a plain and calm expression, completely stripped of her playfulness. Started swinging

Puck! Puck!

Perhaps it was because she didn’t want to do ‘work’ that was simply filled with no satisfaction or satisfaction, as she went on, the strength to wield the mace diminished, and the light in Echidna’s eyes died. Good with that

Most of the energetic guys who say they have fun and enjoy their work are crazy guys or even worse than that. He has the same brain as a guy who says he likes Mondays and sings songs that make you crazy.

It was only funny when I saw it through the screen. If I met that guy at a real company, I would run straight to the president’s office, resign, and leave.

Puck!!

[The level of Has risen.]

[The level of ‘S skill [Little Devil] Has increased.]

[The level of ‘S skill [Self Faith] Has increased.]

[Intelligence and Luck stats have increased by 1.]

Thinking it was the end, Echidna, who had broken the last guy’s skull with a little force, approached me with a tired but relieved expression. Then, she put her hands together and began to look at me as if she were praying earnestly.

“…?”

The gloomy and bright eyes of the cat definitely reminded me of a cat in boots somewhere.

…Yes, there should be a reward for the work done. Even if you say it a hundred days, you won’t know unless you experience it yourself. There are things that can only be known on the spot.

It’s like a choice that can’t be helped because I’m at my age with such a theory. As if congratulating her for approaching her, I brushed her hair and handed over her mana.

“…!!”

Seeing her visibly delighted and improved complexion made her heart throb for some reason. What? As I looked down at her, Se-Rin Lee physically stood up with her claws and poked her in the chest.

“Do you know the word remorse? You don’t seem to feel it, so I made you feel it instead.”

How are you? The moment she said that, her eyes widened and she licked her lips with her tongue. Just like the atmosphere that changed in an instant, it felt like it was getting dirty just by touching the sticky hands, so I used the shadow to slash her hand.

Tak!

“…Get rid of it”

“Kyaang~ Date Violence~♡”

She sighed as she glared at Seline, who had avoided her gunpoint with her unreasonable talent.

Anyway, this has happened once or twice. When the academy starts in earnest, even if you don’t like it, I’m going to roll it into a fight, so I don’t need any remorse.

It’s not what I was aiming for, but since I have a humanoid familiar, it’s natural to use it accordingly. The word “Right place” Is not for nothing.

“The problem is these guys…”

How to deal with this? I looked down at the stunners with cold eyes and rolled my head.
