I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner

294 – Awesome Knife Reduction

The dungeon loses its balance.

It was a subject that no hunter could miss, and even Yeonhee, who usually does not enjoy conversations with strangers, even commented.

“If you think about it a little further, it would be no surprise if a B-class hunter enters this dungeon right away. Of course, the association or the management office will manage it. If a high-ranking hunter decides to enter, who among the public officials will stop it?”

“… Well, I guess so. I hope that won’t happen as long as I’m here.”

“If the entry spectrum continues to expand like this, it will become a world where villains can thrive…”

‘… He’s a villain. I’m sure so. There is nothing better than this for those who find joy in trampling on the weak at will.’

Dungeon management manpower is limited, and it is difficult to prevent entry for people with stealth skills like me.

‘There will be chaos soon.’

And it will be an opportunity to accelerate the activities of those who are living as villains or who will become villains.

‘I need to catch the next villain as well. For now, growing here is much more efficient. Crucially, I don’t even know where those guys are exactly. Hmm…’

When I was contemplating whether to ask Helen for a request, Yeonhee was also lost in thought with a serious expression.

Just yesterday, I heard that kind of story from Maeng Seong-yong. I look up at the sky anxiously, as if the dungeon will collapse at any moment.

The quartet also felt that there was no need to get more serious when Yeonhee became visibly anxious. He started to stand up, clapping his hands vigorously.

“Come on – well, it’s just a possibility. Let’s do our job. Let’s get going, shall we?”

“Yes, yes!”

After leaving the safe zone, we spent almost two hours killing a lot of Frogfolk.

‘Do these kids have just one trait?’

I think I killed over a hundred, but [Kleptomania] Was not activated.

So, it means that the paralysis and poison on their bodies are natural, but just how extreme is the environment in this dungeon? I was shocked.

In the end, you lose your appetite because you can’t get the additional characteristics you expected.

Finally, other types of monsters that inhabit this dungeon have appeared.

‘Boggle’ and ‘Nixie Siren’.

“Tick!”

At my signal, our party came to a halt.

“The enemy falls back.”

Still, the four-member group had experienced it once yesterday, so they adopted a strategy of leaving party members with relatively low resistance levels behind and using hunters with high resistance levels to exhaust their skills.

‘Should I try getting hit too?’

Bogolgolgol─

Me and the big ‘Cheong-ah’ came to the front.

‘Boggle’s unique skill created a lot of bubbles, which soon engulfed both of our bodies.

– The attribute [Calmness] Is activated!

– Resistance value far exceeds the enemy’s attack methods!

– Resisted [Boggle’s hunting methods]!

‘Cheong-ah’, a large man who was hit by a debuff skill like me, seemed to be a little tired from the overlapping debuff skills, and was holding his head in pain.

I didn’t feel any feelings of confusion or fear.

Rather, the guys who used skills on me had their skills completely blocked and fell into a momentary state of stun due to the shock returned.

– I’ll report it…?!

Dozens of Bogles were stunned at the same time, creating a lot of foam over the swamp.

Piyung─!

Crumbling – Grumbling─

Yeonhee and the summoned beasts took advantage of the opportunity and attacked the guys all at once.

I also started killing them without hindering Yeonhee’s growth.

‘First of all, let’s start with this guy.’

Boom—!

The moment the fireball hits the Boggle, the bubbles bounce in all directions, revealing the small body hidden inside.

Even though I didn’t really touch it, it died the moment the bubbles dissipated.

– ‘Boggle’ has been defeated!

– Randomly steal Boggle’s skills and characteristics!

– Acquired the skill [Clumsy Object Assimilation]!

– [Stealth] Is fused with [Clumsy Object Assimilation], Making [Stealth] More stealthy.

‘Oh?! Was this also a skill?’

It was surprising that the camouflage of the monsters, which I thought was a passive ability, was an active skill rather than a constant activation.

Anyway, the abilities similar to the protective colors of the monsters in this dungeon all seem to be used to improve [Stealth] In this way, but this was an unexpected windfall.

Trait [100], [Kleptomaniac] And skill [Stealth].

Among them, stealth was the skill I loved the most, so I was very glad that I was able to develop it even though it was belated.

‘Whatever happens, it’s fine. The dregs of chaos. If only I could fool that bastard’s eyes.’

– The achievement [Pioneer] Is activated.

– All abilities increase by 1.

‘The ability level continues to rise steadily. And it’s not over yet.’

– Acquired the trait [Lesser Cognitive Impairment]!

– The achievement [Pioneer] Is activated.

– All abilities increase by 1.

– Experience level increases.

‘Cognitive impairment? What is this?’

[Lower-level cognitive impairment]

– Distracts your presence so that you are less noticeable to the enemy.

‘… It has all these characteristics. This guy is somehow ‘boggle’. Strangely enough, it wasn’t noticeable.’

I thought it was because of the bubble-like shape of the ‘boggle’, but it has these characteristics. It was not very noticeable.

Just as I had just read the description of the newly acquired characteristics, a terrible groan rang out from somewhere.

– Oaa──

– Ahhhhh──

– I resisted the [Siren humming]!

‘Things that can’t even sing are really noisy.’

It is said that if you imagine a mermaid with a carp head rolling around in the mud for about three days, she will have the appearance of a Nixie Siren.

Maybe it’s because they have grass-like things growing on their bodies.

They are more difficult to find than ‘Boggle’, which has the characteristic of scattering its presence.

In short, it is a monster with a higher level of camouflage than Boggle.

However, the fact that it is difficult to find means that people rely on sight, and my senses clearly sensed the presence of them coming from all directions.

While wearing the Rune of Floating, I walked across the swamp and lightly blew off one guy’s head.

[Penetration]

Suddenly—!

‘Surely… Because perhaps of the penetration, their tough leather is no longer a burden.’

I once again felt the effectiveness of the abilities I gained through my previous job, and read the newly emerged message.

– ‘Nixie Siren’ has been defeated!

– Randomly steal Nixie Siren’s skills and characteristics!

– Acquired the skill [Swamp Transformation]!

‘Oh my… This doesn’t combine with stealth?’

It is literally a skill that completely assimilates into the surrounding swamp, but I wondered if I would ever use this in the future.

‘Still, let’s give it a try.’

Rumbling─

As soon as I used the ability, the mud around me and my arm connected, giving the illusion that my senses were connected to the mud as well.

‘Ah… This is not just a trick to the eyes by turning my body into mud, but it also receives information from the surrounding mud.’

There was an unexpectedly surprising function hidden there, but it was an ability that had no immediate use.

– The achievement [Pioneer] Is activated.

– All abilities increase by 1.

Still, thanks to the pioneer achievement, his abilities were steadily increasing even though he did not level up.

– Acquired the attribute [Paralyzing Nails]!

– The achievement [Pioneer] Is activated.

– All abilities increase by 1.

– [Paralytic Claws] Have been fused with [Ferocious Claws]. The level of [Ferocious Claws] Increases!

‘Is this going to be a hit?’

As soon as I got [Paralyzing Nails], I had that intuition instinctively.

[Ferocious Claws Lv.4]

– When an attack is made using a body part, there is a 65% (+15%) chance of causing status abnormalities [Bleeding] And [Paralysis].

– Bleeding: Maximum health decreases by 0.02% every second. The effect doubles when fighting while bleeding.

– Paralysis: Stiffens the body for 0.5 seconds.

‘Oh oh? The probability has increased by 15%?’

[Ferocious Claws], An attribute that is of great help in battle, knowingly or unknowingly.

I had a lot of fun fighting against the dregs of chaos, but the probability increased significantly. When we fight again, it will be much more helpful than the first time.

‘Somehow… I’m fighting very comfortably, but my growth is rapid. It feels strange.’

My usual theory that you grow as much as you work hard was about to collapse.

Although I initially grew quickly thanks to morale traits such as [Kleptomaniac], The sense of crisis only increased as the dungeon level increased. I was a little embarrassed that it had turned out like this in just a few days.

‘… This is difficult. I’m in a dungeon and I don’t feel in danger at all!’

“Huh? Why? What’s wrong?”

Yeonhee asked me worriedly if she felt that I was nervous, but I had no choice but to say that it was no big deal.

‘It won’t end like this, right?’

Since we experienced a strangely large number of events in the dungeon, we thought anything would happen until the boss battle.

*

Kuuuuung──!

‘Uh… This can’t be like this.’

But my expectations were spectacularly wrong.

There were no variables or crises until the moment of defeating the boss of this dungeon, which was a variant of Frog Folk and was a whopping 7 meters tall.

“Wow—! Ilwol, we subdued it so quickly? I don’t think it’s even your turn yet?”

“Tick, tick, tick…”

Actually, considering our increased combat power, this is true, but strangely I felt like I couldn’t get used to it.

“It’s definitely different from yesterday. What time did we clear the boss battle yesterday?”

“We finished well after six o’clock. There was actually one less person.”

“Those kids were trolls yesterday, but the difference is this much…”

The group of four nodded and smiled at her as if it was thanks to Yeonhee.

As soon as the boss battle was over, we left the dungeon without any regrets.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Yes, I’ll see you tomorrow.”

The four-member group, who talked a lot in the dungeon, coolly disappeared once the work was over.

The guys quickly ran somewhere with their hoods pulled down, and I guess it might have something to do with their main job.

Jeopuk─

We were overcome by a strange feeling as we walked along the streets during a time when the sun was quite bright.

“It feels a little empty, right?”

“Crack, crack, crack!”

“For some reason… I came out of the dungeon and the sun was rising. “I felt strangely excited.”

“…”

Still, as time passed little by little, the awkward feeling subsided, and I jumped into the sky holding Yeonhee and quickly flew home.

“Huh, I got home really early. It’s still bright after I showered. What should we do?”

As soon as she arrived, after washing up, Yeonhee approached me secretly, and before I knew it, she was close to me and whispered that in my ear.

‘… Is this a signal to do something? Well, I took a long break.’

When I held up a finger, Yeonhee immediately understood the meaning.

“An hour to mimic!”

“Crack, crack, crack!”

Yeonhee did not hide that she was waiting for my humanoid form, but she twisted her body for no reason as if she was still embarrassed to show the desire hidden behind it.

“No… I’m not really expecting anything special. I just want to talk to Il-wol, talk. Do you understand?”

“Tick, tick, tick.”

‘Conversation with the body is also conversation.’
