I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner

383 – Time for Challenge

“When you go out to sea, marine monsters run rampant. There’s nothing you can do about it. Dwarves are selling combat uniforms that allow you to operate in the water. But they’re so expensive that most hunters can’t even dream of them.”

“Anyway, it’s not okay for dwarves. It’s just money, money, money. As long as they eat well and live well, that’s enough.”

“Well, I’m a bit greedy, but I heard it takes a lot of materials and time to make it. Besides, even if you have that combat uniform, I think you’ll need to develop the right abilities to fight in the water.”

“Can’t I just not go into the underwater dungeon?”

In response to Arin’s question, Yeonhee quietly shook her head.

“I want to experience every dungeon.”

“Oh… You’re surprisingly brave, aren’t you? Then you’ll go all the way to the ‘Hanging Garden’?”

“Well, that place! It’s the same level as the ‘Giant’s Dungeon’. I don’t dare even think about it. It’s just… The dungeon itself is cool… And there could be a major flood later on. “I want to be prepared.”

As Yeonhee said, it was a good thing to be ready to deal with the enemy in any environment.

However, it is common to not go to such an environment like Arin.

“Well, we might go to Jeju Island when we grow up.”

“Isn’t that a place where you have to be in the late A level to try it?”

“But… Are we having a hard time? It’s too much of a kimchi soup, right? We’re barely a C grade.”

“What are you talking about? At our growth rate, it might be possible within next year.”

“How difficult is it to go from level B to level A? Is it possible? Anyway, I want to go to ‘Nando’ at least once… Recently, a route that bypasses the underwater route was discovered!”

“Oh? Really?”

Although there are underwater battles in certain sections of the mega dungeon ‘Nando’, most of the battles take place on land, so people are willing to take the risk.

‘Now that Yeonhee has recognized her shortcomings, won’t that lineage appear when the next summoning scroll is laid out?’

Usually, growth tends to occur as hunters earnestly wish, so it was worth looking forward to the next summons.

We set out to explore again.

There is nothing to obtain artifacts in this dungeon, and there is no place for special events to occur.

I just continue the battle in silence.

A few hours later, we arrived at a place where we could see a waterfall falling in the distance.

After first encountering the pastiche, the Charger Turtle rarely appeared, and the Were Croc never showed up.

Still, Hamarisu continued to appear, and the supply of ‘Haemarisu’s small beads’ reached three positions.

‘There are only 220… Should I at least write a purchase order on the market?’

Even if hunters catch a hamarisu, they throw away everything except the small horn on the head that is used as a mark.

Therefore, it would be better to post your intention to purchase materials on the market and prepare for the future. You never know, some weirdo might have collected a lot of marbles.

Kwakwakwakwa-

“Wow- that’s cool.”

“This is the last painting I see before I die.”

“Arin, are you going to say something unlucky?”

“Amazing──!!”

“Wow!!”

There was no separate minister.

The scale is like heaven and earth compared to places like Niagara Falls.

Even colleagues with sufficient hunter experience can’t help but sigh.

Hunters in boats flock from all directions to the center toward the falling pit, and it is an unusual structure in which a boss battle takes place just before falling down the waterfall.

When you clear the boss battle, you escape the dungeon by falling to the bottom. It is famous for the terrible feeling it gives you, like you are on the verge of death.

A few kilometers away on the other side, my senses vaguely sensed a party like us traveling in a boat toward the waterfall.

Currently, the range of my senses exceeds 7km.

So, the width of the hole you see now is at least 7km.

The depth cannot even be guessed.

What lies at the end below… Not even Jo Gi-man, who has lived seven lives, can know that.

“aa!! Something really big is coming!”

It wasn’t long before a slightly different exclamation came out of Arin’s mouth.

This is because a huge pastiche, sparkling in gold, rose majestically right in front of the cliff.

It rose almost 7-8 meters above the water, so its actual length must be much longer.

At first glance, it had such an overwhelming presence that one could believe it was a water attribute Drake.

‘Is it because it’s been a while since I’ve seen you? It seems to be much bigger than when I saw it before.’

Tsuooooo──

As soon as he came out, he spotted us and took action without delay.

“Wow!! Do that! That!”

“Everyone, please prepare!!”

The attack of the golden pastiche is not a big deal.

It swallows us by sucking river water into its huge, elastic mouth.

That was all he did.

‘But that’s a threat.’

It’s not just river water that it sucks.

I wonder if it has the power to absorb magical power as well, and a much higher level of mental power is required when using the ability.

In short, the section where magic exhaustion occurs early, so you must carefully control the use of skills to clear it.

And all around him, ordinary pastiches were pitch black.

‘Damage distribution…’

So how should we deal with that guy?

Their racial characteristics work to our advantage in times like this.

By hitting the small pastiches, the damage is distributed to reduce the golden pastiche’s health.

Then, at some point, there comes a moment when the body of the golden pastiche turns pale blue.

That is a signal that it has severed its connection with its species, and then you can deal the final blow.

The plump pear resists the attacks of the golden pastiche for a certain period of time, but it is only for 20 minutes.

You have to either kill that monster within 20 minutes or give up.

If you are unable to make a decision and are swallowed, your body may instantly dissolve in the digestive juices flowing within its body.

Shaa—─!!

The golden pastiche raises its head toward the sky and lets out an inexplicable scream.

The vibration hitting the chest announces the start of the battle.

“Uuuuu- when you see it in person, this isn’t a joke?!”

“I absolutely don’t want to be sucked in there!!”

The colleagues trembled as if they were imagining something terrible as they looked into the monster’s mouth covered in pitch-black darkness.

Then, after maximizing his magical power, he began to unleash all the skills he could toward the crowd of pastiches.

Of course, I had already sent the ‘Gori’ unit flying, and my lovely minions climbed on top of the golden pastiche’s head, swinging the hook at random and sucking blood.

“Beep!!”

‘Gori’ was drawing Pastiche’s attention by himself, as if giving up food to his subordinates first.

The golden pastiche didn’t seem to care much until the bats landed on its head.

When Yeonhee’s flying summons attacked Geomryong, he was startled and stopped swallowing the river water and disappeared beneath the water.

“Oh! “I hide!”

“Still, since I went into the water, it seems like the sucking speed has decreased a lot?”

“You can’t breathe and suck in water at the same time.”

“Whew – it’s definitely slow to recover magic power, and it’s strangely difficult.”

“I think I’m training.”

As we understood the current situation based on the information we had, we did not stop attacking the small pastiche with its head above the water.

And not long after, the huge golden pastiche reappeared with a bunch of hammocks on its head and body.

As soon as about 50 seahorses rise to the surface, they spread their arms wide to both sides to activate the skill.

“How many of those are there…”

“Oh, you’re using your brain a little?”

“It looks like the sea marish can survive even out of water!”

It’s surprising that a fish could think of something like that, and it even worked.

Chop clap clap──!!

Hamarishu, who came with a boat full of water, continued to shoot his blades into the air, threatening the flying monsters.

Chehwa and Nepi easily escaped, but the bats belonging to the ring unit that travel in groups were attacked and thrown into the river one by one.

Shadow Drake, who was quietly watching the situation, flapped his huge wings and flew in place, and soon his neck was shaking.

Kwaa—─!

Geomryong’s breath exploded once more, but the golden pastiche raised its thick tail high in the sky to defend against the powerful breath.

While blocking the attack, the part that was thought to be the tail completely disappeared, but soon after, it showed signs of growing again.

However, it was clear that a lot of stamina had been consumed as the group of pastiches around them were jumping around as if they were in great pain.

[······.]

Geomryong was clearly aiming for the main body, but he continued to snort as if he was displeased with the fact that only his tail was removed.

However, we were steadily removing the small pastiche, and the stamina of the golden pastiche was noticeably decreasing.

“aah- I’m getting sucked in!!”

“Oh, I’m still okay!!”

It’s still a bit far from a golden pastiche, but if you’re in a situation where you feel like you’re being sucked into a huge cave, the threat is greater than the actual threat.

I watched for a few minutes, focusing on supporting my colleagues so they could fight to their hearts’ content.

‘I don’t need to fight. It will be over in 5 minutes… No, 4 minutes.’

Since the Gori unit is also active, my contribution in this battle will not be lower than that of others.

However, I wanted to level up today, and I had an intuition that I could achieve that through this battle, so I had no choice but to step forward.

I quickly launched myself and fell from the sky onto the fish’s head, slashing my sword down.

[Gongcham-Flame Slash]

Fuuuuuk──!

He injected force into the deep sword and struck it down, and the cutting continued until his legs were submerged under the river.

“──!!”

Then, the huge golden oarfish writhed in pain and writhed.

However, I was clinging closely to the guy’s body with [Atsorption], And after giving him four more [Flame Slashes] In a row with my dagger, I returned to the ship before the time limit expired.

Five small flame marks appeared on Pastiche’s body or arms and slowly swirled in a circle. Surprisingly, the golden Pastiche must have sensed them and looked at the marks stupidly, wondering what it was.

‘Explode.’

At the same time as the will was manifest, the center of the giant fish’s body burned with a bright light and instantly spewed out a huge pillar of flame into the sky.

Ahhhhh!!

– Hamarishu was defeated.

– Defeat Hamarishu…

The message of Hammarish being caught in the fire explosion constantly came to mind, and soon the golden pastiche’s body changed as it turned pale.

There is a limit to distributing damage.

At that time, a huge ice spear flew towards the guy from behind me, and at the same time, Geomryong’s breath hit him as well.

The huge fish opened its mouth wide and tried to suck us in, but eventually took the final hit and its body her began to be torn apart.

Buuuuu!

And soon after, its body swelled like a pufferfish and disappeared in a huge explosion.

The summons and the ‘Gori’ unit blocked our path just before the explosion, and even Jua’s magic created a barrier to cleanly block the last attack.

– You contributed greatly to the elimination of Golden Pastiche!

“It’s done! I’ve done it!”

The assist message comes to mind along with the cheers of my colleagues.

– I gained a little bit of experience!

‘Oh, but he’s still the boss. An experience supply/demand message appears.’

– Your level has risen!

Then came the level-up I had been waiting for so long.

‘It’s done!!’

– Select three abilities to increase.

– Would you like to proceed with the job change quest?

Without hesitation, I postponed the quest until later.

‘I have to go home and clear my mind.’
