I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner

341 – Feeling Growth

After about 20 minutes of hard work, we were unable to obtain any meaningful information from the guys who chased us.

Are there still people exchanging requests through subway lockers?

We stripped them of all their runes and equipment, made them swear not to reveal any information, and sent them back.

“Those people are fallen hunters. They have been ruined once, so their equipment level is very low. Even if they sell them, it won’t be much.”

Not everyone who is a hunter lives a prosperous life.

This is the same even for those who have become C-level hunters.

Drunk with power, drunk with money.

There were people everywhere who worked too hard and found their lives difficult, and it was a world full of service companies that collected such people and put them into this kind of smelly work.

These guys are probably in huge debt and being exploited by someone.

It is a terrible life where you are forced to make an oath and cannot report it anywhere.

“Did they make them wear equipment like that because they thought their tailing would be discovered?”

“Oh, no way.”

“You know our tendencies, so it’s not a very strange story. Anyway, you didn’t kill Heo Min-sol, who was harassing Arin, right?”

“Your way of thinking is really fuzzy. Did you think you could evade our radar with these shabby guys?”

‘They’re not exactly sloppy guys…’

In fact, being able to accurately follow and collect information from a distance of 1km was very effective as a guide.

If it weren’t for me, our party members probably wouldn’t have noticed until the end.

The results of my efforts so far to not disclose information about myself to the outside world have paid off.

‘… But I don’t think this is Hyun Woo-seok’s work. Is there someone on the side giving me advice?’

In the first place, it was a bit strange that I accepted Daejeon knowing the extent of Yeonhee’s strength

Quite a few people have seen us riding around on shadow drakes while dealing with great monsters, so even thinking about it again, I don’t understand why they are trying to deal with us with C-rank swordsmen who are just starting to rise in prominence.

‘There must be something… Wait, wait a minute.’

While intensely recalling memories of my past life in my head, I discovered an uncomfortable point.

I quickly asked Yeonhee where our sparring location was, and Noh Hayun said that she had only heard that it was the headquarters of the Ilseom Guild.

“What’s wrong, Yeonhee? I think it’s one of the sparring halls there anyway.”

“No… I feel something.”

“… Mr. Arin, was there a place in Ilseom that had some other device? An area with body strengthening buffs or something.”

“Hmm… There was a place like that… Ah! I heard there was a practice range that only instructors could enter. I couldn’t even go near it because it was an off-limits area.”

“I feel uncomfortable. I’ll check again when I go outside. Where exactly is the main base of the island?”

As I stared at Arin, the memory came back more clearly.

‘That’s right. You said there was a space where magical power was distorted, right? Ha-why is something like that coming to mind now?’

I remember hearing from Hyun Joong-gil that there were places where magic power was released uncontrollably and people had a hard time demonstrating their skills.

When I think about it this way, I really did talk about all sorts of things.

‘I said it was the effect of the monopoly managed dungeons. Hmm – that’s why I was confident.’

It is a place where magical power is not easy to control, and it was extremely difficult for someone who first set foot there to adapt to such an environment.

Of course, Yeonhee will also be affected.

‘…Surely my summon will be canceled and that won’t happen?’

If Yeonhee can’t endure it, I can’t remain in this world.

Even if we put that aside, the guys who will be opposing us will be getting special training there.

‘Hmm… I’m really glad it’s a streak system. I would say that there is one card that I am confident in. No matter who comes out, there will be no one I can’t deal with.’

Since it was not a problem we could find out right away, we steeled ourselves and set out on the road again.

– Grumbling- Grumbling-

Before the first battle, we captured three Hanjalings and gradually regained our original mood, until we finally encountered a pack of wolves.

– Aww wow──!

‘There are a lot… One is big.’

“There’s a beefy guy… Was he a mutant from the start?”

“The horns are also big and thick. If you get hit by a lightning bolt, the pain won’t end there.”

A large group led by a variant that is 1.5 times larger than a typical direwolf.

There were at least a hundred of them in the group, and although we didn’t understand why they came so close to the entrance, we felt glad to see them.

[Skull Bomb]

Puff puff puff puff—─!!

– Gegegegegen!!

There was no need for words.

The battle began with a large number of bombs being thrown.

I didn’t even bother to change my appearance to a fighting type.

Seogeo-eok—!

As if it was something he had always done, he cut a wolf in two with a single sword.

‘The sword went out first without me knowing.’

“Hey, what is Sun and Moon?!”

“You cut a dire wolf in two with one blow?”

“The cross section is very neat… Better than mine…”

My body reacted first, and I unwantedly attracted the attention of the party members.

I lunged at the direwolf variant that was cockily looking down on the battlefield from a small hill.

Meanwhile, the reward for killing the direwolf for the first time came to mind.

– ‘Dire Wolf’ has been defeated!

– Randomly steal ‘Dire Wolf’s’ skills!

– Skill [Thunderhorn] Has been acquired!

– The achievement [Pioneer] Is activated.

– All abilities increase by 1.

‘It looks like there are no characteristics other than what Lesser had.’

Even though I killed the first guy, the only thing I stole was the skill.

[Thunderhorn]

– The protection of Chiindrana, the god of lightning, rests on the horn.

– It is deflected into a path that even the caster cannot predict, inflicting powerful damage to the designated enemy.

‘Ho… Was it a divine protection level skill? What did your ancestors do to be loved by God?’

Bulging-

When I acquired the Direwolf skill, horns protruded from my forehead.

I turned into just like the cat in the mirror.

‘I think I can stop changing my appearance.’

Pajijik- Pajik-

When magical energy was injected into the sprouted horn, golden lightning began to leak out and cover the entire body.

When I instilled my will again, the horn that had sprouted from my forehead.

When the horn is put in, the energy of lightning disappears along with it. It seems that the ability cannot be activated without the horn.

“Crrrrn─”

I cleared away my brief thoughts and watched his preparation movements closely.

The leader of a wolf pack who gathers as much magic as he can from his huge horn.

It seems that the horn is used as a medium to impart magic properties.

Kwazizizik-

Soon, a streak of golden lightning bent at a bizarre angle and flew towards my side.

[Arcane Deflection]

Kkwajijijik─!

– ?!

After lightly deflecting his lightning magic, I used my magic this time.

Bulging-

[Thunderhorn]

Gurgling- Kwajijijik─!

A large beam of lightning emitted from my forehead bent at an unexpected angle and hit the guy squarely in the body.

However, the guy only frowned for a moment, and his stamina was not used up. Rather, the discharged magic power appeared to be recovering.

‘The reason I took less damage from the lightning attribute was because I received an ability close to protection from God. It would be nice to give something like that as a trait!’

You may be able to obtain such characteristics by dealing with a higher grade direwolf.

I gritted my teeth, fell from the sky, and activated [Special Strong Acid] And [Chain of Flame] At the same time.

“Kuhuhung—!”

The guy quickly threw his body to the side in an attempt to escape, but he couldn’t escape the range of my [Chain of Flame].

Unlike before, this time it was a dire wolf variant that was in a lot of pain.

The huge body, which must have been twice my height when it stood up, was tightly bound with red-hot chains.

Chii Iik-

‘Just as I trained there…’

I carelessly slashed the knife into the guy’s abdomen, which was melting in the strong acid.

Through penetration and hollow attack, the destructive power of my sword skills has increased dramatically compared to a week ago.

Seoeook──!

Surprisingly, the direwolf variant was split in two and rolled down the hill.

“…?”

“Huh…?”

“No…”

Looking at the corpse of the mutant that had tumbled down, the party members rubbed their eyes diligently.

But looking again, the dead variant was correct.

“·······?!”

Even with the reactions of the party members making a fuss below, I didn’t feel very excited or anything.

Cheolpuk-

He swung the great sword downward, scattering the mutant’s blood.

‘It’s not bad.’

Efforts made in the space created by the teacher.

The absolute trust and belief in it is what raised my swordsmanship to a higher level.

Suddenly, the words of Hyeon Jung-gil, my first swordsman master, came to mind.

“The belief and will that you can definitely cut it down. In the end, that determines everything.”

And in order to have such an unwavering mind, he said, the only way is to focus on the sword for a long time and sharpen it.

‘I don’t know about Hyun Il-hwan, but the rest of them didn’t seem to be particularly focused on the sword…’

I was indifferent to my first teacher, who was working behind the scenes, but I was certain that the time and effort I had put in, as he said, would not betray me.

‘I can’t wait for the next three days.’

After completing the training, I was extremely mentally exhausted and in pain to the point of death, but seeing the results to this extent gave me motivation again.

Rune of Thorns (Advanced)

– +26

What I obtained after processing the variant was a high-level magic stone and a rune of thorns.

‘Rune of thorns. Like the addiction rune, this can be changed when needed.’

– When switching to [Combat type], Approaching enemies are continuously exposed to fire damage.

The Thorn Rune is sure to have significant synergy when used when transformed into a combat type.

‘As long as I somehow stick to the dregs of chaos-‘

I nodded, keeping the job change quest in mind.

“Cow!!”

As I was walking down the hill, a dire wolf lunged at me, drooling ravenously.

I aligned my sword with the front foot of the swung guy and pushed the sword into a very small point.

Wow!

As soon as my movement ended, the direwolf passed me and slid backwards for a long time.

“?”

The guy tilted his head as if he didn’t know what was happening, and I smiled in remorse.

‘Oh, success on the first try.’

Maybe the result was good because I didn’t have much expectations.

Bran, who makes both attack and defense return to their original state as if nothing had happened.

While other party members were fighting, I just continued evasion training with him.
