A Sleepy Summoner Wants To Rest

56 – 2. The Summoner

#56

Do you know the term “Eye of the typhoon”?

It is written as the center of the typhoon, and it is called the eye of the typhoon. No matter how threatening a hurricane is, the center point is very calm.

But that doesn’t mean the typhoon is over. It becomes more dangerous because it brings the next huge aftermath.

In that sense, the eye of a hurricane in a novel or story has the same meaning as the calm before something huge happens or the peacefulness before a war.

In that sense, I couldn’t help but see the current days literally as the eye of a storm.

It’s already been two weeks since the academy started in earnest.

There was a bit of a fuss surrounding me, but like any rumor, it was easily overshadowed by newly emerging rumors.

There were steady incidents of minor incidents, but no major incidents occurred.

If there is any, then the fact that a bet, not a bet, was made over the dungeon entry permit given to the top grades in each class?

There was nothing to be called a fuss because the right to enter the dungeon was released at the same time as the 3rd week and the moment the dungeon practice started.

It wasn’t because of my mood, but it seemed to get quieter after that.

It hasn’t been long since the semester started, but it was noticeable that everyone was focusing on their studies for the upcoming midterm exams, so they must be focusing on building their own skills.

There were those who entered the dungeon steadily, and there were those who honed their skills more.

I wasn’t much different from them either. I took classes as usual, listened to optional lectures, and spent the rest of the time resting and dungeons at the same time.

The dense days of the past week were normal enough to feel like a lie.

But I just couldn’t like it.

I went around the dungeon today to try and shake off the subtle sense of deja vu that I was missing something important.

The scorching sun’s light strikes your eyes. I tried to make a shade with my hands, but it was too weak to cool the heat of the sunlight coming from all directions.

The glowing sandstone sways as if it were dancing. The only thing that exists beyond the haze is sand. Even when I look around and look at the horizon, it’s all sand, sand, sand.

I am nestled in a sandy sea where not even a cactus can be seen, let alone a blade of dry grass.

Rank C Dungeon [The sun that vomits sandstone].

I only heard the name when I challenged the [Gulch where scales are hidden], But today is already the 4th day that I challenged this place.

The first day was simple interest, but from the second day, the level up efficiency was better than other dungeons, so I turned around. The third day was a challenge to find the best route to clear.

Today, we are looking for a way to get as many experience points and magic stones as possible while going through the optimal route.

Thinly projects mana onto the ground. As thin and wide as possible. Even so, it shakes and shakes so that the enemy cannot help but aim.

Guggugggug…!!

I can feel vibrations under the sinking sand, probably being attracted to the prey. I immediately created a shield of shadow under my feet and added it to my feet like a board.

As if I had waited for the movement of my magical power, which was clearly standardized through the shadows, the reaction started to move more violently. In the end, it lowers its body in line with the movement that has grown so large that it shakes the entire sand.

Quaaang!

“Kissyyyyy!!!”

A gray scorpion emerged from the sand. The bizarre claws reminiscent of a giant scythe and the blunt tip behind the tail had dark purple spines that made you feel terrifying beyond sharp.

[The named [Gray Death] Has appeared.]

Skan!!

I immediately blocked the attack that aimed at me with my shield, and the moment I leaped into the air using it as a stepping stone, Kalion, who had been hiding in the sky with the magic of [Invisibility], Pulled me up.

“Kong!!”

“Go!”

It was Graul and Echidna who fell as if to replace me. As if to assist the two, I create a sword of shadow and condense magic by turning it into a spear.

In order to make the most of its sharpness, it became more like a thick needle than a spear, but it was rather good.

“Greung”

At the same time, Kalion’s buff permeates my body.

The sharpness of the spear becomes clearer, and the strength of the grip that holds the spear is further strengthened. The field of view expands at once, the concentration that was slightly disturbed by the heat is strengthened, and the whole body is energized.

Use the skill [Focus on Combat] In a much more comfortable physical condition. In the sight that started to flow slowly, I aimed accurately at the gap in the carapace and fired the spear.

Peeing

The light of magical power draws a trajectory and accurately penetrates the gaps in the giant scorpion’s carapace.

Poogwak!

“Kissyiik…!!!”

Echidna swings her mace in line with the softly crushed attack. What I’m aiming for is not the scorpion’s body, but the spear I’ve been holding.

Kang!

The scorpion, unable to withstand the shock and pain from the act of hitting a nail with a hammer, collapsed on the spot. Even so, the tail shot straight at Echidna.

However, it did not penetrate her body.

Kwaduk!

“Kissik…?!”

A gray death embarrassed by his tail unnaturally stopping in the middle of being shot. At the end of it was a huge wolf that had stopped chewing on its own tail. Graul’s attack didn’t stop there.

I started grinding my teeth with the determination to cut off her chewed-up tail. Graul’s teeth, sharp as saws, slashed through the gray armor of death in an instant.

The transparent blood like sap that flowed out each time made Graul’s body even redder and larger.

No matter how much she shook her body, she couldn’t shake off the Raul, which was holding on to her claws like hooks.

“Key, Kiik…!!”

If you keep going like this, your tail will be torn off.

As soon as he saw Growl growing stronger in real time as he drank blood, Gray Death immediately realized that and quickly raised his fallen body and at the same time quickly rotated his body.

In order to attack even in the middle of it, it wields a scythe-like claw horizontally.

“Ha!”

Tung!!

It was none other than Echidna who defended the attack from the front. She used her dropped shield to hold on to enemy attacks while avoiding my attacks.

Despite the double reinforcement of her magic and divine power, she was pushed back, leaving rough traces, probably because her ground was soft.

Perhaps because of the basic weight class, the attack had such destructive power that it was hard to believe that it was an improvised attack, and the shield on the side of the block was dented.

Chin

But the attack was blocked and time was bought.

Pud Deuk!

The moment Graul’s jaw strength reached its limit after ingesting enough blood, a terrifying sound of something being crushed reverberated across the desert.

At the same time, losing her owner, her tail flew through the air and landed on the ground.

Having fulfilled her purpose, Graul landed on the ground and licked the blood off her mouth. Echidna threw her crumpled shield aside to block the attack, then grabbed her mace again, and Echidna, full of determination, sighed. I turn my gaze to the gray death.

“It comes out soon.”

The pattern of the gray death is divided into before and after the tail is torn off. There are two main patterns of berserk that appear at the same time as the tail drops.

The first one goes berserk and scatters sand all over the place, covering the sight and attacking at the same time.

The second one hides as if it were burrowing into the sand and continuously bounces off it with tongs.

This is a pattern I was able to formalize through trial and error over these three days.

The point to be careful here is that you shouldn’t do too much damage with one hit. This guy will run away if you accumulate too much damage at once on a named subject.

Just like when it appeared in fear, it burrows into the ground and runs away.

At first, I thought it was a pattern of berserk, so I waited nervously, but considering the time I had to grind my teeth in the scorching sun because of the name that didn’t show up no matter how much time passed, I don’t mind chewing it to death several times.

What I discovered through trial and error is to cut off the tail as quickly as possible.

Yes, the strategy keyword for this name was right in the tail.

For scorpions, claws like scythes are of course a threat, but the most dangerous is none other than ‘poison’.

The main part of the poison injection is the tail. But now I’ve taken that weapon away.

Unlike lizards, which grow back even if their tails are cut off, scorpions’ tails do not grow back.

It is normal to have to run away from here. In fact, he is cunning enough to run away without hesitation and recover his physical strength when he receives a large amount of damage in an instant.

However, a scorpion whose weapon has been taken away goes through a slightly different mindset.

Even if you run away, you won’t be able to hunt properly anyway, and even if you promise the next time, it’s meaningless at the point when your weapons are gone.

In that case, I would rather choose Dongguijin, hoping to leave even a little scar.

The moment you poison your heart, the claws of gray death change from gray to black. Ironically, the trait was manifested because the person with the name of death decided on his own death.

Push profit…!

Part of the sand where the tongs are located has melted. The sand around it also turns black. The appearance mixed with the existing sand is literally gray. Gray death has descended on the desert.

However, there is no way that such formidable power will last forever. The evidence is the black spots that gradually began to invade the body beyond the tongs.

The most ideal thing is to ride on Kalion’s back, avoiding attacks in the air, and wait for the enemy to self-destruct. But I don’t know how long that would take.

Here I remembered one thing.

Corrosion. It will rot That force that forces living things to die must be a negative force. Then, the [Gray Death] That uses that power is no different from being an unclean being.

Use Kalion’s characteristic [Divinity] Here.

Kalion’s characteristics are basically the ability to reject and push back. A representative use of this is the pasa. To drive out negativity.

When two completely opposite attacks collide, they naturally explode or evaporate altogether.

“Carlion.”

Wow!!

A breath of magical energy shoots out from Kalion’s mouth, which deploys a magic circle at my call. The moment the mass of magical energy fired hits the magic circle, it spreads dozens of directions and knocks the ground.

“Kissik…!? Kiseeek…!!”

Damn it, Puguaak!

The gray armor of death that had been hit by the milky-white magic cannon was crushed and exploded.

The black part was crumbled as if it had been completely reduced to ashes. Since the spots themselves were encroaching all over the body, in an instant, the whole body became full of holes.

“Ki, kii…”

The blow of conversion he created by burning his life only resulted in hastening his own death. The named [Grey Death] Let out a low cry in resentment and did his best.

[You have killed the named [Grey Death].]

[All creatures in the desert hold their breath.]

[Summoner’s job level increases…]

I put aside any system messages that surfaced and disabled the device’s stopwatch function.

“5 Minutes and 21 seconds. 2 Minutes and 10 seconds minus the fishing time… Is this the best for now?”

Of course, even that is a sight that I have seen too many times, so there is no special inspiration.

The only thing left in my head right now is that I can kill a little faster and more reliably.

Next time, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to lay traps all over the place, tie them up, and then pour out overwhelming firepower that would make them unable to even think of escaping.

‘The problem is fishing…’

The downside of this nogada is that it takes too long to catch it with magic. If you are with other summons from the beginning, he will never appear.

It’s just that it looks filthy. There were cases where this vicious looking guy was so scared that if he decided he wasn’t alone, he would run away even if he came close to it.

The same goes for being too strong or too weak. If I’m strong, I think I won’t be able to win, so I’m excluded, and if I’m weak, I don’t even pay attention in the first place.

You have to delicately control the magic power of the proper line, but he bites the bait. Are you saying I have to suppress my magic and move more carefully just because of this?

This means that playing at best with the latest computer and monitor is no different from playing old arcade games.

“Still, I have to catch this, because the experience points increase.”

After relaxing on top of Kalion’s body, he wrapped his magical energy around his body to block the heat that burned his skin. Then, the hot feeling that had been there until just now disappeared.

I have to carefully block it with shadows so that sand or sunlight doesn’t harm me, but I add magic here to stop it from opening, so [Gray Death] Thinks I’m strong and runs away.

In the end, you have to act as bait to summon him without blocking the heat.

With no gaps, the heat could not be blocked, so there was no ventilation, so it felt like being in a real steamer.

It would be great if only this could be done. No matter how much time I cut and how little time I spend, if I’m having a hard time, there’s nothing I can do.

It might be a good idea to go somewhere else soon. The trimmed down build was a bit of a waste, but it didn’t seem that bad considering that I had conducted a preliminary survey to gather information to give to Ban Tae-woong later.

The guy who proudly said that he would be in the top 10 next since he reached the top 30 he was aiming for, fell to three digits overnight, and now he started to take an interest in the dungeon tour inside the academy.

Since the ranking includes the 2nd and 3rd years, it seems that the person himself thought that there was nothing he could do about it. From my point of view, it is strange that they are still holding on to the 3rd place even with the 2nd and 3rd graders.

Realizing that there was no point in playing passenger skills in that state, Ban Tae-woong quickly gave up and at the same time began to pay attention to dungeons in order to become stronger as the next best thing.

This is a part where you can see how perverted he is perpetrating when his goal is not just clearing, but perfect clearing + clearing all dungeons.

For reference, the conditions for perfect clearing are like the individual missions set in the dungeon by the academy.

If you accept a quest separately from the one given in the dungeon, the record starts as soon as you enter the dungeon, and the result is reflected as soon as you clear it.

Bronze, silver, and gold medals are given for ranking each mission. If you complete all three, you will receive a perfect clear judgment and receive a ‘You did very well’ sticker that can be exchanged for 1 point in the store. .

If you collect shops, you can ask or do something to the academy, so it’s good to have it, but it was close to the mileage feeling that it’s not particularly important even if you don’t have it.

From this point of view, it can be seen that the academy is also devising various things. Like the hidden one I discovered last time, it’s not just compulsory clearing of dungeons for cadets, it’s a way to enjoy or think differently.

Actually, it’s not fun at the point of breaking the head of a monster and stabbing its organs with a knife, but at least there was a way like this~ Because you can show the same condescension? I don’t think it’s like that.

Or not. How can I know what that man is thinking? I’m just passing it over as it is.

In the first place, a person with a proper mental head would not have asked me to come in here with a parachute.

It is an educational institution that should be equal, but it has a system that insists on inequality and favoritism more than anyone else. A place that welcomes the strengthening of the weak more than anyone else on the theme of giving preference to the strong and thoroughly rejecting the weak.

That’s why it feels strangely like a place where people live. Because of that, the academy is a strange place where accidents do not stop and there is no quiet day.

“Cow!”

Welcome Hive, who has brought the gray magic stone of death, and quickly cross the desert with Growl and Echidna on Kalion’s back.

The goal is a huge pyramid in the middle of this desert.

The conditions for clearing this dungeon are to defeat the boss of the dungeon located there or to solve the secret of the pyramid.

Most of the things I was able to speed up were thanks to Kalion’s mobility.

However, in confined places such as caves, you cannot benefit from it.

The same goes for the inside of the pyramid. Up to Growl is barely safe, but Kalion is so large that it gets caught at the entrance. However, if it is summoned from within, the pyramid will collapse.

Because of that, I’ve been thinking about whether or not I should think of other summons that can be used as ranged dealers in a limited space.

I didn’t touch anything else during these two weeks and focused only on leveling up, so before I knew it, my summoner’s job level was 23, and the level up I just added was 24.

Other summons also finished leveling up between 5 and 7 at the end.

Because Ban Tae-woong was a fictional day attacking and attacking street, I tasted it and left it without even thinking about investing the rest of the points, so the accumulated system messages began to form a thick layer.

I’ll have to check that out soon. Let’s clear this dungeon, drive it, and check it out at once. Let’s decide on a new summoner at that time.

I was already able to create one new summon, but the current combination was so good that I didn’t feel the need for it, so I left it alone.

If the balance is destroyed by inserting an inappropriate person for no reason, it will take too long for it to be replenished.

From a long-term perspective, summoning now is correct, but my intuition tells me not to do that and focus on attacking.

This is the incident that the woman, not anyone else, told about. Even if she made fun of me or cleverly hid information, since she never lied when asked, this must be a certain future.

“Caw”

A shadow crow emerged from the shadow of the sleeve and began to lead. Hive, floating in the air, found its destination.

The speed of Kalion following the crow has increased. He overcame the crow of shadows in an instant, but he didn’t care. This is because information about the location has already been passed on to Kalion through me.

Unlike the fast-moving scenery, we, riding on top of Kalion, are very calm. This is also the wind resistance magic that Carlion, who has become accustomed to [Dragon Magic], Has learned.

For these two weeks, I gathered as much information about magic as [Records], And among them, I handed over to Kalion the ones that I could use right away.

Because the root of magic is different, it takes some time to convert it into Kalion’s own magic, but it overflows with time, and it’s enough to keep doing it until you can do it in the dungeon, so you don’t have to worry about the people around you.

Carlion spent these two weeks feeling like trying every possible trial and error.

Thanks to this, it became possible to imitate quite a few basic magics with [Dragon Magic] Or recreate them into completely different magics.

To be honest, I think the one who has grown the most in these two weeks is Karion. Echidna and Growl also had their own achievements, but the number of attacks did not increase as much as Kalion.

The pinnacle is this.

“Echidna.”

“Yes.”

At the same time as Echidna is summoned to the appearance of the pyramid seen on the other side, magic power is added towards Kalion. Not only me, but also Echidna.

If my magical power is used to draw a huge magic circle, her magical power, including divine power, will gather in Kalion’s mouth.

It is a combination of pyramids in the desert. Unless you’re not paying attention, there’s no way you wouldn’t know what’s going to appear inside.

Even the name of the dungeon is [Sun that vomits sandstone], So it should be seen as almost unconditional.

At first, I tried it with the thought that it could be like this, but it worked better than I thought, so that’s how I decided to write my experience.

My mana runs out. A sense of exhaustion rushed through my body as a large amount of mana escaped, so much so that I wondered if I had ever felt this lack of mana before.

But as a result, the magic circle that started from Kalion’s mouth grew bigger and bigger and became so huge that it covered the entire top of the pyramid.

I don’t have the loyalty to enter a place that is advantageous to the enemy.

“Kill.”

Giyiing

The sun falls from the magic circle.

It’s not just a simple sun, it’s a dark red sun with milky white energy flowing over its surface. The image is the magic that every wizard dreams of, Meteor.

But there is no mass to call that magic Meteor. The only thing left was the overwhelming heat and the will to kill the enemy.

The base used in it is the magic Used by the woman who handled the burning sun carriage the other day.

The magic that used to condense the power of the sun and shoot it in the form of a laser has been transformed into one that burns everything within the range of the magic circle, rather than shooting it once and ending it.

With just that, the mana consumed to control magic was drastically reduced.

Since the range was limited to the inside of the magic circle from the beginning, no further intervention is needed once released.

There is no need to control it because it was created for the purpose of killing everything inside the magic circle.

That magic, Napalm Buster, was completed by adding and subtracting things like that.

If the image is Meteor, since the idea for the effect was taken from ‘Napalm’, the name was also taken as it is and added to the magic of the original.

Since the image and concept have similar aspects, the completed magic is also dropped from above rather than shot.

Goo goo goo…

The dark red sun slowly falling swallows the pyramid. The air shudders with the formidable heat and the world is distorted. The power of the fake sun, which turns even the heat of the desert into something cold, begins to destroy what holds the brilliant past.

Belatedly, to protect the pyramid, undead wrapped in bandages, mummies, and poisonous insects with colorful shells popped out and tried to block it, but the heat melted the outer wall and evaporated from the tip, and they disappeared without even leaving magic stones.

On the contrary, the moment the fake sun, which began to burn more fiercely using magic stones as fuel, hit the ground directly, I raised my hand and covered my vision.

“It’s over.”

Beep beep—-

What I heard was tinnitus, and the noise of the explosion transmitted later made my ears noisy.

If you didn’t protect yourself with magic, your eardrums would explode, your body would be roasted in the heat of the aftermath, or you would become permanently blind. One of the three would have been.

Maybe all three were beaten.

What is certain is that even if we survive the aftermath, there is only a future in which we will be burned to death by the remaining fire as a result.

Since the opposite of Undead, Kalion’s characteristic [Divinity] Is added, it’s like a special attack added to a special attack.

If you walk around the pyramid, you can definitely get treasures or hidden rewards that match it, but it’s better to burn them all like this to get experience points.

[Dungeon Clear]

[You have obtained a [Record of Making a Mummy] As a reward.]

The dungeon was judged to be clear when the owner of the pyramid, the boss, was defeated. At the same time as he agreed, an old papyrus was held in his hand, but he handed it over to Hive and put it in the shadows.

I already have two of those in my shadow, a glove called the [Bow Thimble of the Wasteland].

[The level of Rises…]

As soon as I cleared the result window that popped up one after another, my body was not in the scorching heat of the desert, but at the entrance of the academy’s dungeon.

“Whoa…”

Thanks to Kalion, Molly repatriated everyone except for Hive, who had entered the shadows as if to erase her gaze.

Now, go to the appropriate place, check the status window, and let’s finish today. Thinking so, the moment I left the entrance of the C-Rank dungeon, I could see people gathered in the B-Rank dungeon next to it.

If it’s not a dire situation, you’ll just pass it over. Is there any reason why people flock to it like that?

It’s a little uncomfortable, but I didn’t want to get involved, so I put a few crows in the shadow of the hive in the shadow of the crowd to turn off my nerves.

So far, [The Sun Throwing Up Sandstone] Is more efficient, but to be honest, I didn’t have the confidence to easily clear the B-rank dungeon with my current skills.

There is a limit to pushing away with Carrion’s magic, except for compatibility.

When the difficulty level rises to B rank, there will be many objects with intelligence besides names and bosses.

As intelligence increases, the level of difficulty rises exponentially as each individual skill is utilized in addition to magical power enhancement. If the dungeon’s gimmick or condition is added to it, it’s only natural that it will take a long time to break alone.

What if Karion is forced into a space where he can’t play? What if there appears a space where you cannot properly apply your magic power? It would be like having all of my hands sealed, fighting based on magical power.

If you make a mistake, you may end up wasting your time and escaping without getting anything, so you have to build up your strength before taking on the challenge.

Because even Ban Tae-woong and the Heroines’ party are still struggling in the D-rank dungeon. I tried to repeat to myself that I belong to the fast enough axis.

Even so, the nervousness didn’t go away, it only got bigger.

I rented a private training room, which was quite empty because everyone was concentrated in the dungeon, and I immediately made a chair out of the shadows and sat down.

“…Watching everything is a waste of time”

Of course, I know it’s good to look at each one and check them. But seeing all of this at once, the time that passed between them was too precious.

Since the decision to draw a new summon has also been solidified, it is more prudent to go to a dungeon between E and D with the new summon as the main after passing it moderately quickly rather than contributing too much time.

“Status window”

I chose to turn off the things that came to my mind rather than removing them all, and displayed the status window.
