I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner

380 – Swollen

The charging turtle has to turn around for a while and gain momentum again before it can attack again, so now is the time for us to counterattack.

Perhaps because they had exhausted all of their strength, they pulled their faces out of the water and took a deep breath with their huge noses that took up half of their faces wide open.

“Fuheung- Fuheung-“

Even though he is breathing heavily, he is closely watching our movements. They looked very embarrassed that their special move didn’t work.

Of course, we must not miss this opportunity.

“Black swan!!”

At Yeonhui’s signal, the two ‘black swans’ flapped their wings in unison, creating a black whirlpool.

As the whirlpool grew stronger along the river’s waves, the charging turtle quickly took a breath and tried to hide its head under the water.

Kwaa──

However, the charging turtle, which was in a state of constant running and attack, could not easily evade the attack, and the giant turtles caught in the confusing whirlpool spun around like tops and rose about 2 meters above the water.

Pooooong─

The amount of river water rushing into the sky was as great as its massive body.

The charging turtle, which fell to the surface after several turns, shook its head vigorously and tried to come to its senses.

But there is no way the status abnormality confusion can be resolved that easily.

Even though they were staggering, they started shaking their legs rapidly in an attempt to somehow get back to the back.

When Chehwa, Nepi, and the ‘Gori’ unit attacked from behind, threatening them from behind, they were unable to move out.

Kwagwagagagagagagagwagagagagag—─!!

Sparks fly as ‘Gori’s claws scratch the shell of the charging turtle.

‘Still, the attack worked quite well, perhaps because it wasn’t in charge mode.’

Sharp drawings are drawn on the shell of a charging turtle as it is attacked by a hundred hooked bats.

They probably thought it was an unusual attack, so they gradually came together to one side.

When the cornered turtles gathered in one place, Geomryong’s neck, which had been storing up a lot of strength, began to tremble.

Soon, the terrible breath of the shadow attribute began to cover the turtle.

Kwakwakwakwa-

With Geomryongi’s special move that landed precisely in the middle of a group of charging turtles, more than half of the charging turtles were instantly destroyed.

“Wow─”

“It’s very strong…”

I flew up far away and was splitting the shell of the surviving charging turtle in two.

[Flame Slash]

Seogeo-eok──!

– If you do not return to the ‘Wandering Ship’ within 10 seconds, you will be expelled from the dungeon.

‘Hmm?! What is it?’

Surely there was no penalty like this even if the summoned beast fell off the ship?

The proof was the sword flying freely in the sky.

After going out for a while, I had no choice but to quickly return to the ship.

When I returned, I thought about it carefully.

‘Originally, the time given to hunters to return is 3 seconds. I am comfortable with a penalty of 10 seconds.’

This meant that restrictions were being applied somewhere between summons and hunters.

‘Is it because of mimicry that I can no longer be recognized as a complete summoned beast? It’s not even funny.’

This was a pretty serious problem for me, but the sensation in my legs distracted me from my thoughts.

When I returned to the ship, I couldn’t move as if my legs were chained.

Once you receive a warning message, you will suffer this penalty for several minutes.

I was pinned to the center of the ship, but fortunately the chains were invisible to others, so I pretended nothing was wrong and continued to provide support by firing fireballs and thunderhorns.

‘Ha-well, worrying about it doesn’t mean anything will change.’

For now, let’s focus on the present.

While my colleagues were finishing up, I read down the messages that came to mind.

– You have defeated the Charging Turtle for the first time!

– The attribute [Kleptomania] Is activated.

– Randomly steals the characteristics and skills of the Charger Turtle.

– Acquired the attribute [Rock Hardening]!

– The traits [Rugged Skin] And [Rock Hardening] Are combined.

– The attribute [Sturdy Armor] Has been acquired!

– The achievement [Pioneer] Is activated.

– All abilities increase by 2.

‘Oh oh?! Did it combine with [Sturdy Skin] That I couldn’t even use properly?’

Another characteristic created by combining the newly acquired characteristic with the existing characteristic, the ability score also increased by 2.

[Sturdy Armor]

– Bone strength increases significantly and size can be adjusted.

– Blunt weapon damage -30%

‘Yes…! It has turned into a useful trait!’

As soon as I acquired my new characteristics, significant changes began to occur in my body.

‘Does the effect appear immediately like this?’

Gradually, steadily –

The bones inside the armor began to twist and scream.

There was no pain or anything, but I felt a strange sensation of my body being replaced by something completely different.

‘The bone density is becoming much denser… Is it okay to call it metal?’

In particular, it was encouraging to see that the resistance to lethal blunt weapons against skeleton-type monsters had increased significantly. But this wasn’t the end.

– The skill [Heavy Legs] Has been acquired!

– [Heavy Legs] Is fused with the skill [Reckless Charge].

– The achievement [Pioneer] Is activated.

– All abilities increase by 1.

This time, no new skills were created, and the level of the existing [Reckless Charge] Was greatly increased.

Of course, it is a bonus that the ability level increases by 1 with the [Pioneer] Achievement.

—-

Reckless Charge Lv.Max

– Rushes recklessly in the direction of the designated target.

– Hits hard with 500% of attack power.

– Defense increases significantly while charging.

– Movement speed increases by 50% while charging.

—-

‘It’s not bad… It’s a shame I didn’t get the water attribute skill.’

After making sure my colleagues finished off all the monsters, I looked at the newly acquired characteristics and skills.

First, I concentrated my magic power on my left arm, and my forearm instantly swelled up as if I had become an ogre.

Then, my colleagues, who were catching their breath after killing all the monsters, started making a fuss.

“Oh my! What is it? Can you do something like that?”

“Your arms have become as big as your thighs?”

“Can you swing that properly?”

My colleagues were very interested when they saw that my arms had suddenly grown abnormally large.

In particular, Noh Hayun blushed as if she had met her first love. This is a kid who doesn’t even know.

I lightly hit the hard shell of the charging turtle I was holding with my left arm.

Byak-!

Then, the hard shell of the charging turtle split in half as easily as a wooden chopstick.

‘It’s not just the defense that has increased. It could be useful offensively.’

It still seems like the limit is to inflate one part of the body, but once I get used to it, I think I will be able to enlarge the body itself.

Then, it will be easier to combine with [Reckless Charge] To cut through monsters like a tank.

“Wow!! What is it, Hercules?”

“How much strength do you have, so simple…”

“Tick, tick, tick.”

After saying that it was still too early to be alarmed, I activated the upgraded [Reckless Charge].

Then, this time, his thighs swelled significantly, and his body flew forward as if exploding.

Seeek──

Even though I used this alone without any other movement techniques, the effect was amazing.

Wow─

Everyone’s eyes opened wide and they couldn’t hide their surprise as they approached me.

The response was that they couldn’t understand how the arms and thighs swelled when the monster was based on a skeleton soldier.

– If you do not return to the ‘Wandering Ship’ within 10 seconds, you will be expelled from the dungeon.

I went overboard for a moment, but quickly returned inside the ship using [High-speed flight].

Clap-!

As I landed on the boat, I felt a much heavier chain being wrapped around my legs than the penalty I had received the first time.

Every time you go overboard, the penalty increases.

‘Wow, this is annoying.’

However, ‘Azraelon’, who had been silent, suddenly made a statement that penetrated my essence.

(······ You guy, you have a knack for absorbing other monsters’ skills, right?)

‘Hmm?!’

The guy looked at me while he was in Eunyoung’s arms and added.

(It was vague before, but after it became a reality, I felt it clearly. There is a being in the world who can steal another person’s abilities without any effort… It’s like… What on earth are you? That one Who’s under your control? What is the woman in the eyes?)

As Azura opened her vertically slitted eyes, she was showing a little bit of her wariness.

It was a look full of confidence.

I realized that there is no use in glossing over things.

‘Hmm… Are you going to tell Eunyoung about my abilities?’

I didn’t want anyone else than Yeonhee to know about the existence of [Kleptomania].

Of course, some people, including Hayoon Noh, are speculating that my ability is [Bookmark of Memory], But that skill and my characteristics are on a different level.

(Is there a reason to hide it? Are you embarrassed to let others know about your specialness? Why? Are you not letting them know more about the specialness of your master?)

‘You may not understand, but I am like that. So don’t tell your master. Even if you say something, I won’t be able to stop you.’

(Even if I tell you, there is no benefit to Eunyoung, so there is no reason to tell her.)

‘Hey…’

‘Azra’ begins to communicate little by little after being materialized.

I don’t know how great her true power she was, but she immediately recognized the nature of my [Kleptomania], Which her colleagues had only vaguely guessed …

On the other hand, I thought I should be more careful. It would be better to wait a little while before showing off your newly acquired abilities.

I stretched out my tail and collected all the corpses of the charging turtles floating on the river.

“I got two breathing runs!”

Among the guys that ‘Geomryong’ killed, two dropped runes.

Pick up one of them and take a look.

Rune of Breathing (Intermediate)

– You can breathe in environments where you cannot breathe.

– Breathing holding time varies depending on the resistance level.

At first glance, you might wonder what kind of rune this is, but it’s just a rune that allows you to breathe like a fish under water.

In addition, it is effective in places such as polluted environments or alpine areas, and is usually a rune used in underwater dungeons.

This rune is unique in that it does not display a numerical value and is judged only by grade.

‘Because it’s intermediate, it’s probably about an hour per resistance of 6.’

My resistance level is 103, so I can breathe underwater for about 17 hours.

Of course, since I don’t breathe, I don’t need these runes in the first place, but for other hunters, they are essential runes to enter certain dungeons.

For example, the huge dungeon ‘Nando’ on Jeju Island is such a place. Since some sections take place completely underwater, it can be said to be an essential rune.

“Hehe, you’re lucky from the beginning. There are already two runes!”

“Our party is blessed, right? Yeonhee. You really have to keep going with this member. I’m not kidding, if you add someone else, the good energy might disappear.”

“Huh? Oh, maybe so.”

“I have to give it to you, but last time there was Mr. Taeseok Yeom of the Vision Guild, there wasn’t much of a difference-“

“Let’s go! Let’s go!!”

JooA was secretly brainwashing others by emphasizing the maintenance of current party members.

Since we are still using the 1/n structure except for runes and artifacts, it would not be nice to have someone else come in.

Moreover, the revenue from the mine is slowly starting to come in.

Now that you have been able to sit back and receive the salary of a fairly high-income earner, you may not want to increase your staff in case you have such luck in the future.

Arin was interfering with it without notice, but she personally wasn’t dissatisfied with me continuing as a member.

Cha Jin-hyuk may be added later, but I want Cha Jin-hyuk to form his own force rather than our party.

‘The more people there are to be the focal point in a big war, the better.’
