I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner

303 – It’s an Explosion!

‘That necklace will definitely have a cooldown.’

I was able to make that judgment because it was much smaller than the detection stone used by Nargul at the end of ‘Nargul’s Dungeon’.

From sub-space, the guy took out a club-shaped donpa that stretched out on both sides of the handle.

If it is not that weapon, it must have the effect of preventing a person from moving for a certain period of time among his other abilities.

Seung-je Oh turned towards Yeon-hee rather than the quartet, which seemed dangerous to anyone, and soon made a meaningful move.

Seueuugh-

I, who had been waiting for him to react, jumped in at the moment when his eyes were focused on Yeonhee.

In order to quickly engrave the mark, I cut the dagger into the shortest possible shape and stabbed it through the man’s armor.

Poop! Sigh! Puuuk──!

“Kuhuhuh-?! Profit!!”

Flutter-!

‘How?’

I attacked quickly with both hands and carved four marks, then got away from him and returned to the seat next to Yeonhee.

Pasasak-

‘Hwiyu-Even then, I was a bit surprised that he counterattacked as soon as he dodged an attack aimed at the eyes of his. You have quite a bit of sense, right?’

Part of my left shoulder was torn off by the guy’s counterattack, and the message that I had resisted his skill and his came to mind.

“Kuheh- keheek-! Kkuuh…!”

Blood gushed out through the cracks in the guy’s armor.

Now, six marks have accumulated, and the flame energy has grown accordingly.

The guy must have noticed the existence of the mark only then and was started when he saw it hovering over his shoulder.

“What the fuck! What is this?!”

“?!! It’s that bastard!! Put ‘color’ on everyone!”

The four-member group reacted quickly when the attacked Oh Seung-je came out of hiding.

Tadadat──!

The four members were equipped with an ability called ‘Color’, which they used during the Mimic event. Their movements became agile, like swallows flying low.

Seungje Oh must have decided that the situation was not good after seeing the explosive acceleration of the four members who had suffered a minor injury. I immediately activated the artifact.

Whiooooo──

As soon as it was activated, a wing-shaped vortex fluttered behind its legs, and at lightning speed, it escaped the four-member group’s pincer attack and began to run away into the distance.

“W-what is that guy! He’s so much faster than us?!”

“It’s an artifact! Chase it!”

“We have to catch that bastard before his stealth activates again!!”

The four-member group followed him and disappeared, leaving behind an afterimage.

I broadened my senses and leisurely watched the chase between Oh Seung-je and the quartet, waiting for the moment when contact with other parties would occur.

‘I shouldn’t let anyone think that it’s an explosion due to my ability.’

One of the iron rules of hunters was not to easily show their skills to other hunters.

Even if I teamed up with the 4-member group for a few days, there would be no need to inform the members of the assassin group ‘Tail’ that [Flame Explosion] Is my ability.

“Ilwol? Can you explode even if the mark falls off?”

“Tick, tick, tick!!”

“Oh, as expected. There’s a plan.”

It was a technique that could be used at any time within the range of my senses.

We held hands and walked in the direction he ran away, and soon the distance between us and him was over 3km.

‘It’s time to explode.’

I used the ‘Summoner’s Assistant’ achievement reward obtained after forming a relationship with Yeonhee to level up [Flame Explosion].

—-

【Fire Explosion Lv.5】

– Explodes the accumulated ‘Mark of Flame’ all at once.

– Deals 1,300% damage of magic attack power.

– For each ‘Mark of Flame’ exceeding five, attack power +300%

– Ignores all beneficial effects and armor except [Invincibility].

– Each explosion permanently reduces the target’s maximum health by 500.

– Tracks the location of enemies hit by a fire explosion until the end.

– Enemies hit by five fire explosions are guaranteed to die.

—-

This time too, the attack power increased significantly, and the ability to destroy maximum health doubled, reaching 500.

‘Wow… Have you improved a lot by reaching level 5? If you have 500 stamina, even the top B-level dealers will die almost instantly, right?’

One side of my head felt tingly from the incredible power of the skill, and a new ability called location tracking was added.

‘If you hit the fire explosion even once, location tracking becomes possible…? If this continues, I have no choice but to become more and more immersed in this skill, right?’

It was a very useful ability when the enemy who was hit by the skill survived and ran away like now.

Of course, if it were a monster that could survive and run away even after being hit by a fire explosion, that would be a pain in itself.

‘[Fire explosion]… How much better can this get?’

I was wondering if it was a skill I could handle, and now I was even a little scared.

I waved the flame explosion skill description away with a wave of my hand and focused on Oh Seung-je again.

Luckily, three party teams were standing together in the direction where Oh Seung-je was running away, and I activated [Flame Explosion] Aiming for the moment when about 20 hunters overlapped.

Of course, it was a result that reflected the will not to cause harm to other hunters. This kind of delicate control would be difficult to implement unless you have sensory skills.

Jiiiiing────

With the activation of the skill, a sharp, ear-piercing bursting sound resounded several kilometers away.

Ahhhhh!

Soon, with a huge explosion, a huge black flame shot up into the sky from the other side of the dungeon, creating the spectacle of blowing up a huge amount of swamp land.

“Wow! Waa-“

Yeonhee opened her mouth wide and looked in ecstasy at the pillar of flame that was still rising into the sky.

“It’s pretty-“

‘It’s a sight to see from this distance.’

It’s a moment that somehow makes me want popcorn.

Puff puff puff puff—─!

By-products of the swamp area affected by the fire explosion caused dozens of chain explosions in the air.

The hunters close to Seungje Oh had already scattered in all directions, staring blankly at the pillar of flame in astonishment.

‘Wow – Level 5 [Flame Explosion] Is amazing. Has it disappeared without a shape?’

With the [Flame explosion], Oh Seung-je disappeared without even leaving a single trace in the world.

– We have punished the villain who threatened the safety of this world!

– The seed of terrible evil that caused countless people to suffer was destroyed.

– Stats increase randomly!

– Strength: 305(+15)

‘Oooh?! Your strength has increased by 15, right?!’

What does it mean when your strength reaches the 300s?

This means that even in a power struggle with a werewolf, the single strongest C-class entity, it will not be too far behind, and that it will be possible to fight with a ‘low-level Orc fighter’, who is twice as strong as a high-level Orc warrior, with only the Kang stat.

‘Joo Ye-seul gave it a 10, right?’

‘Joo Ye-seul’, the light wizard who drove people to death for fun in the dungeon of Nargul.

The ability level she gained after defeating that human was 10.

The reward, which was much higher than before, made me smile, but it also brought with it a sense of discomfort.

‘The reward is great. It was much more than that year. Wow… It’s really amazing.’

I clicked my tongue, held Yeonhee in my arms, and moved a little away from the place where the explosion occurred.

‘Okay. Even if everything else disappears, the artifact is still dropped.’

As the explosion occurred, the artifact he was wearing, the boots, flew a long distance and fell, and I picked it up and immediately put it into subspace and returned to the scene.

At the scene we arrived at, the hunters were finally gathering one by one and talking about what all the fuss was about.

Among them, the 4-member group was searching the surrounding area to see if they could find even the slightest trace left by Oh Seung-je, but they did not particularly talk to other people.

‘When we were together, we talked a lot. Was it my style to hide people?’

There was a brief commotion, but anyway, there were witnesses who had been harmed by the guy, so there would be no difficulty in proving the crime.

“We will confiscate all assets and distribute them to the victims.”

“I wonder if that will be compensation… But I’m glad I caught it now…”

We protected the paralyzed people until they were freed from their condition, and then moved on to fight the boss again.

The people we rescued also followed us, because the entrance and exit were different and we couldn’t go back.

They repeatedly bowed their heads to Yeonhee and the quartet, saying they would definitely compensate them if they left.

However, since we had already scanned the equipment they were wearing, we didn’t have much expectations about it.

Since we were connected, we fought the boss battle including them, and were able to clear it without difficulty this time.

“Oh, really. That’s too much. How can I have such no luck?”

“This is not at the level of being unlucky… Something is strange.”

“…”

Heukah, who confirmed the boss battle reward, eventually became angry.

‘Intermediate rune of addiction… Intermediate rune for 4 consecutive days in a boss battle? How can it be so unlucky?’

Even if it was a C-level dungeon, it was really shameful that an advanced rune did not appear even once.

‘I was lucky for a while. In the end, luck is expendable.’

I tried to understand this situation with my own logic.

After clearing the dungeon, we had to submit to a short investigation by Hunter Management Office officials because of the damn Oh Seung-je bastard.

However, after being quietly investigated, the officials and the hunters were engaged in a small scuffle.

“Isn’t it too heartbreaking to just come and settle things now?”

“No… There are so many accidents these days that combat personnel are not assigned up to C level.”

“What! They’re just pampering high-level hunters. I’ve often seen articles saying that there are a lot of surplus manpower left over, right?”

“Those are office workers-“

The four of us who were chasing the guy stayed still, but the remaining hunters protested fiercely to the management office officials who belatedly jumped into the investigation.

‘If you look at it, they are civil servants who eat their country’s food. What crime can these people have?’

If I were to blame it, it would have to be on the management level at the top who coordinates staffing.

“Phew~ It ended smoothly but then exploded at the end. Anyway, thank you for your hard work.”

“Yes, Black Lady too.”

“Hmm… But there’s one thing I’m curious about.”

“Yes?”

“That black, ominous pillar of flame. Could that be…”

“…”

Heuk-a was very curious about who the caster of [Flame Explosion] Was, and seemed to be suspicious of us, but as Yeon-hee continued to remain ignorant, she did not ask any further questions.

Since it was not yet four o’clock when we parted ways with them, we naturally held hands and walked home.

At that time, Baek Arin contacted me.

‘I guess the promotion exam is over.’

“Ah, yes. Okay… Heh… Okay. I’ll see you there then.”

We decided to meet at a cafe in the downtown area, and there we were able to meet Arin for the first time in a few days.

“Here, here!”

As always, she welcomed us with a bright smile, and she had grown noticeably even after only seeing her for a few days.

Just as I reached level 60 and raised my rank, she will do the same, so it’s only natural.

However, I was a little surprised because the rise in rank was greater than I expected.

“How did it go?”

As soon as we met, Yeonhee asked about the results of the promotion test. Due to Yeonhee’s personality, she doesn’t often ask such sensitive questions, but it probably means that she trusts Arin that much.

“I passed with ease!! Haha-“

Contrary to her cheerful expression her her her, her condition her her her her was speechless.

‘For a light body, I was quite injured… Who was the examiner who made this rag?’
