I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner

382 – Master of the River

A total of eight marbles were obtained from this battle.

‘It’s a material that drops with a roughly 50% chance. It’s annoying to dismantle it, but there’s nothing you can do about it.’

All remaining by-products were thrown into subspace.

‘It looks like the scraps from dismantling the monster will amount to several tons. Is there any way to utilize it later?’

With that in mind, check the durability of the ship.

– ‘Wandering Ship’ durability: 9,912

Durability did not decrease by 100 during the four battles after entering the dungeon.

Wouldn’t this be almost a record for the first party I entered?

“It’s durable and smooth!”

“You can’t let down your guard. The ship is moving faster and faster.”

If the speed of the ship increases, the probability of encountering other monsters increases accordingly.

Kkirik- kkirik-

Tongtongbae even screamed, revealing his presence without filtering.

“Why does this stupid ship make such a noise to provoke the monsters?”

“Ask the person who designed the dungeon.”

“There is a designer?”

“One hundred percent. Could these devices have arisen naturally?”

“So what is the designer’s goal? Is it to test those who entered the dungeon?”

Everyone sits on the boat and thinks deeply about Joo-a’s questions.

It’s a homework that no one has been able to solve, but using your own imagination is perfect for killing boring time.

“Well… What’s certain is that they want to make the people who enter the dungeon stronger.”

“Well, that’s right. It’s designed to make you stronger if you steadily clear the dungeon.”

‘Hmm…’

We had a brief discussion on the topic, but the monsters seemed displeased with our conversation.

The monster’s appearance frequency gradually increased, and after about two hours had passed. The attacking turtle and Hamarishu even came together.

But even he couldn’t threaten us.

However, the loss of durability gradually increased.

– ‘Wandering Ship’ durability: 9,633

“Whew—I’m dying. It’s good to use your abilities without any intention, but it’s too much.”

JooA, who was bleeding from her nose, had the hardest time today.

Each time she battled, she was blocking the attacks of over a hundred monsters with a single rock barrier.

Gulp- Gulp-

“Puh-ha—I’m drunk!”

“What kind of potion are you drinking like soju?”

With Eunyoung’s support, the ability buffs I was receiving weren’t enough, so I was drinking mana potions.

The reason they are using mana potions, which are 1.5 times more expensive than regular potions for wound healing, without hesitation, is probably purely to keep up with us.

No, you want to catch up when we are stagnant.

Thanks to her hard work, she succeeded in leveling up today, and she had room to grow once more.

I know that the average number of people in a party entering this dungeon is about seven.

Among them, it is common to include at least three supporters like JooA.

Otherwise, it is difficult to block the impact from the bottom of the ship.

Although we were there to help her, she was probably the only one focusing on defense, which is why she grew so quickly.

JooA said, wiping away her nosebleeds with her arms and looking around her.

“The thing I didn’t see in this dungeon was Were Croc and Pastiche.”

“It is said that Werecroc only targets those who are weaker than him, so maybe he didn’t approach us when he saw us?”

“Maybe so.”

‘That’s not it…’

I also waited for him to appear, but no humanoid monsters were detected within a 7km radius.

You can meet him in the next dungeon anyway, so there’s no need to go looking for him.

However, I could clearly sense other guys approaching.

Slender oarfish-like fish with a body length of up to 3 meters were coming in a school.

It is a pastiche, a monster that can be said to be the owner of this dungeon.

It has a white striped appearance on a black background and appears to be frantically wandering around looking for food with its mouth constantly open.

“Ugh, that’s gross.”

“There are too many, too much wriggling…Ugh-“

Pastiche is about the power of a single object.

Teeth that can chew even steel are threatening, but as long as you don’t make the mistake of falling into the river, there’s no problem.

What makes them annoying is that there are so many of them.

And when they move around in groups, they have the ability to spread damage, making it ridiculously difficult to kill just one monster.

It must have been thanks to that ability that they were able to push the powerful Charging Turtle and Hammarish out and occupy the center of the river.

‘In the end, you have to beat them all evenly and kill them all at once.’

The speed of the speeding water increased to a considerable level, but as soon as I detected the monster, the boat stopped like a lie.

“Crack, tick, tick!!”

I sent a warning and took out my great sword.

“What, I guess something is coming! Is it a bunch of pastiches?!”

Nod-

“Ugh…! I’m glad I managed my durability well. You’ll be okay, right?”

“Don’t fall!!”

Since they don’t die easily, you will have to endure some damage to the ship.

Unlike the charging turtles and sea marishes, they were approaching very quietly.

In fact, it was moving tens of meters downward and rising vertically toward our ship.

‘It would be perfect to test out a new skill.’

I bent my upper body closely toward the river and put my hands into the water.

Bogol Bogol-

The water bubbled around my hand for a moment, and a translucent blade shaped like a half moon was formed.

‘Go-‘

A water blade that moves quickly through the water according to my will.

As expected, the speed does not decrease at all even in the water, but rather the acceleration increases.

Conversely, if you throw it out of the water, the effect will be halved.

Reportorororo─

‘Even though this is my first attribute, I feel familiar with it. I guess it’s thanks to Irmana’s blessing, right?’

After confirming that the skill could be used without much difficulty, I exploded 500 magical powers at once and fired a water attribute magic called [Sicolorline], Which I had obtained after killing Hammarish, at the group of ‘Pastiches’.

The sight of nearly 70 water blades swimming and flying through the water with a slight time difference was awe-inspiring.

Seogeogeokeuk──!!

One blade cut at least three pastiche in two and disappeared into the distance.

The group of Pastiche, who saw the first flying blade of water, began to scatter in all directions of the mountain.

However, because they were so crowded together, hundreds of pastiche were fatally injured in this single attack.

Oh my gosh-

Normally, it would be common sense to die if the body was split in two, but as soon as the body was split, long blood vessel-like lines appeared along the cross section of the wound, and they appeared to quickly recover from the wound. . .

‘Wow, those zombie bastards.’

And the bodies of those that were not harmed glowed blue.

At least hundreds of pastiche share the damage by distributing the damage.

Of course, there is a limit to damage distribution, and if your health drops below 20%, you can no longer use that ability to take damage from your compatriots.

‘It’s going to be longer as expected.’

After recovering their bodies, they clung to the rock in earnest and began to destroy the magic implemented by Jua.

However, since Noh Hayun continued to spread ice below the water using his enormous magical power, their movements were not very active.

Yeonhui used provocations using snappers and spotted fish, but unlike sea marishus, it did not show much effect against these violent fish.

Rather, the guys who were provoked did not move in the direction Yeonhui intended, but started gnawing on the rock even more vigorously, and soon began to climb through the cracks in the rock and damaged the boat.

“Wang-gwi!!”

Yeonhee ordered five direwolves with the cute name ‘Wanggui’ to attack with lightning.

It’s so hard to break it──!

– ········?!

It worked quite well, causing the pastiche crowd to start playing and movement to slow down further.

I waited until they were properly grouped together and then used the water blade to cut them into pieces.

Crazy fish are gnawing at our stomachs, and we are constantly hitting a pastiche that won’t shrink easily.

The battle of such routines continued for a while, and at one point, a large amount of pastiche bounced to the surface and boom! He exploded to death after drinking heavily.

Wow──

The sight of over a thousand fish floating and exploding one after another at regular intervals made me gasp in amazement.

‘I really… What kind of shit trait is this?’

But I couldn’t help but burst out laughing when I saw my newly acquired skills.

– Pastiche was defeated for the first time!

– The attribute [Kleptomania] Is activated.

– Randomly steals pastiche characteristics.

– Acquired the attribute [Thorn Teeth]!

– The achievement [Pioneer] Is activated.

– All abilities increase by 1.

[Thorn teeth]

– Teeth become sharper.

‘…Is that really the end? Don’t you have any other skills?’

There must have been well over a hundred of them killed in my last attack, but this is all I was able to steal.

The ability to share damage among members of the same race was a unique ability, like a goblin’s racial trait, so it seemed like it could not be taken away.

Ppodeuk-

While touching his front teeth, which were as sharp as shark teeth, he exerted his will and changed the shape of his teeth back to their original form.

It seems like it would be useful for someone who bites once and never wants to let go, but it immediately left a bit of confusion in my mind.

‘Tsk… I think it will be a shame to spread the damage forever. Anyway, when will I level up?’

No matter how small it may be, I killed this many monsters and still got no news.

Well, if I were to match my current level, I would have to go through orc dungeons to gain at least some experience. I understand.

I nodded and looked around.

‘Hmm… I guess this time it will end without incident.’

There have been a few strange incidents of dungeons appearing suddenly recently, so I couldn’t help but be concerned.

Thanks to this, a certain part of my mental power was put back into reconnaissance.

“Whoa… It’s not easy to deal with monsters in the water. Isn’t it, Ilwol?”

“Tick, tick, tick.”

Yeonhee rubbed her chin and was in trouble.

– ‘Wandering Ship’ durability: 9,433

Since he had a hard time with Pastiche attacking in the water, his expression didn’t look good earlier

Arin took a quick look at Yeonhee’s face and cheered her up.

“600 damage at 2/3 of the time? This is great!”

“I thought there would be almost no damage, but I was short-thinking. I’m a little worried.”

“There is no answer to attacking in the water.”

“That’s why we gave up the sea to monsters.”

“Okay… But this is a river.”

‘The sea…’

After the advent of dungeons, trade volume around the world dropped significantly.

In the early days, all countries tried to control monsters on land and land using their military power, but since only hunters using magical power could kill them, which live on magical power, modern weapons developed to stop and trap monsters.

Hunters can’t even approach the dungeon created in the deep sea.

In that dungeon, the monsters that can adapt to water were released through the dungeon break, and control of the sea was completely handed over to the monsters.

Still, as more hunters with dwarf characteristics emerged, weapons using magical power were gradually being mass-produced.

However, even that could only be operated by those who were at least awakened, so it was far from bringing about hegemony of the sea.

‘I need the ability to move quickly in the water…’
