I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner

chapter 217



217 – Into the Tent

Although they regained some stamina by eating meat, the hunters’ stamina was still not very hopeful.

It is said that the amount of stamina that can be recovered per day is limited.

Unlike magical power, that limit is very high, and unless something special happens, it’s rare to reach that limit.

However, due to the characteristics of the Nargul Dungeon, the lowered abilities and the tens of thousands of bats drove the hunters into extreme situations, and in the end, they all ended up experiencing experiences they should never have had to experience.

Three hunters fell to the ground again after eating the meat.

They fell into ‘exhaustion’ and had no way to recover other than getting enough sleep or leveling up.

We had to be very careful not to end up in the same situation as them.

After the meat party, representatives of the tentatively named ‘White Coat League’, a union of five parties, gathered together. The name seems to have been loosely named after Arin’s last name

“One-third of the combat troops are suffering from a condition.”

Eleven people could not be recovered even with the abilities of Ham Eun-young and Yeom Tae-sik. It was serious. Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t kill monsters, but it was clear that your combat power would drop significantly.

Those bats don’t really have any experience points even from their claws, so it seems difficult to level up, and in the end, the downed hunters just needed to rest like they were dead for a few hours.

“Impossible…Is it possible?”

Hong Yong-seok, the hunter who used tracking techniques to catch up with us, asked Yeon-hee that question with a darkened face.

His depressed appearance was not due to fatigue from battle, but because the hunter who died in battle a little while ago was originally a member of his party.

I felt very guilty as the party leader for not being able to keep an eye on him. But that only lasted for a moment, and he quickly got his emotions together and began to actively participate in the discussion.

“··· The most difficult part of operating a summon is when you have to re-summon a dead summon… Even if Il-Wol is there, it’s hard for me to do it alone.”

Yeonhee calmly answered Hong Yongseok’s question and said that she would do her best.

Afterwards, the five representatives exchanged various opinions, but in the end, the center of the story was Yeonhee.

“How about increasing Yeseul’s guard force? It looks a bit dangerous from the side.”

“I understand.”

Joo Ye-seul, the magician of light whose mission is to float a sphere of light to brighten vision and absorb damage with a light shield.

She sent her summons her to her mission of escorting her her.

“Holding on with a shield on the front lines is a very difficult and dangerous job. One person has already suffered an injury where his wrist was amputated… “

“I will do that. Instead, I need to get some support for the shield…”

It was decided that summons would take over the tanking duties, which were originally shared with melee warriors.

“Well… I heard that the summoned animal called Ilwol is amazing… Is there any reason to collect it during break time… Is there any…”

There were also opinions that I didn’t understand why I, who was strong enough to fight a swarm of bats alone, and a skeleton with no concept of stamina, bothered to rest together during break time.

‘I remember that we fought quite a bit even during break time… But other people seem to be less angry…’

It was a harsh story from my perspective, but it was a question worth asking as they saw all status ailments and physical strength of summoned creatures that died and were reset.

There was even a slightly extreme opinion that if you were resting due to lack of magical power, why not just destroy it and summon a new one?

“…”

Yeonhee, who readily agreed to most issues, stood still at this point and just stared at the floor.

Her violently shaking eyes clearly reveal her agitated emotions.

“What… Is that…”

Yeonhee tried to respond calmly, but she could not continue speaking.

Just by looking at her face her, she appears to be maintaining her composition her, but I could clearly feel Yeonhee’s surging anger her as I stood right behind her.

Rather than anger toward the people making such suggestions, that anger would be closer to self-loathing that comes from not being able to come up with any evidence to refute that opinion when thinking rationally.

“It may be presumptuous to talk about that, but I have to say something.”

When Yeonhee started to pluck her lip with her front teeth, Yeom Tae-seok stepped forward.

“Although I went around with a friend named Ilwol for a short time, that skeleton is no ordinary summon. In fact, I feel like I would believe it even if an experienced hunter wore full body armor.”

“Uh… When you look at that face, it’s a bit…”

A woman who had been making suggestions without notice throughout the meeting tilted her head as she looked at my subordinate. It was that woman who said she didn’t understand that I was taking breaks.

It’s a reasonable opinion, but I’d like you to first look in the mirror and talk about it.

“It’s not something to judge based on appearance alone. Anyway, from what I can see, Ilwol-kun is already doing the best he can. I hope I don’t push him further.”

As Yeom Tae-seok spoke out firmly, the remaining four representatives had no choice but to keep their mouths shut. In fact, there was no one brave enough to refute the remarks of the leader of the ‘White Coat League’.

Hong Yong-seok broke the silence for a moment and spoke.

“··· Actually, I also thought that I had no conscience. However, I decided to voice all the opinions that were expressed, so I had no choice but to put it on the agenda. I will offer an apology as a representative. “

Hong Yong-seok looked like he was better off. He must be the type that doesn’t like being indebted to anyone.

“Nothing much to say. The summoner will understand that much.”

“…”

‘… It doesn’t look like I really understand…’

She placed her hand on Yeonhee’s shoulder and gently touched it, and only then did she look up at me and bite her lower lip hard.

‘Why… Are you making that kind of expression? It hurts my heart.’

I thought it was no big deal, but Yeonhee seems to take it a little differently.

Yeonhee needs to be more calm about the other hunters’ attitude towards me.

It wouldn’t be that good if it became known that you care about your summons.

Hong Yong-seok showed his characteristic refreshing smile and bowed his head to me and said he was sorry. He bows down to the monster. He’s an unusual guy.

“Tick, tick, tick.”

“Huh…? Uh, okay. Haha. Thank you.”

His lips drew a more stable line, perhaps feeling what my bump meant.

In any case, I highly value the fact that he gave the opinions requested by the hunters he managed, even though they were different from his own, in this situation.

Hong Yong-seok must have thought it was a good meeting, as he walked towards his colleagues with a brighter expression than when he first entered.

‘Whew… Even though it wasn’t a big deal, the tension was high.’

Everyone was in a sensitive state. The moment I caught even the slightest hint of conversation, the accumulated emotions would have exploded.

It was rare to maintain such tension until the end and finish it neatly, so I felt satisfied.

After the meeting, I walked around the tent for a while to gather my thoughts. This is because my head felt like it was going to explode long before the meeting started.

The opinion on whether I need to rest during break time is because I only saw my appearance, which seemed fine.

Even during my breaks, I shifted the waves of my senses here and there, constantly checking to see if there were any other new variables.

We also had to check who the hunters were in danger and whether there were any hostile people.

However, the most important task was to block the sound waves that the bats were continuously firing.

The wavelength had the effect of making you lethargic if it lasted for more than a certain period of time, so it needed to be managed consistently.

Each and every such action leads to a drain on mental power.

Continuously consuming mental power without a break is a bit difficult even for a [Cool-hearted] Skeleton.

Because the dirty faces of the bat babies were still floating around in my head like an afterimage. If you leave the dungeon, you will need to receive psychological treatment.

‘…Isn’t it me who is the most dangerous?’

[Calmness], Which calms strong emotional agitation, did not have much effect on the mental damage that was being eaten away little by little.

In the end, I had to find another solution myself. I also… Needed a break.

‘Yeonhee…’

I entered the fairly large tent with Yeonhee.

There was a hunter who had a tent that was compatible with Arin’s tent, so I connected them together and was able to level up to a large tent that felt like a barracks.

And there was another tent erected inside the tent.

It’s like a tent within a tent.

This was also one of the things that hunters from other parties said after receiving the meat and saying thank you and telling them to take it if they needed any of the items in their inventory.

Among them, there were a few good poles that could be used as supports, and Yeonhee and I made our own tent based on those.

Baek A-rin asked the hunter who handed the baton why he was holding such a baton. The hunter said she always carries it with her because she wants to be like the main character in a martial arts novel who uses swords.

I nodded as if I understood.

Actually, I always carried a knife with me in my past life. It was a vain hope that if I did that, at least one attack skill would be revealed.

I brought my gaze to the tent. It looked pretty good when I made it earlier, but looking at it again, it was a little different.

‘It sucks…’

Although they said they made it with some care, it was still a shabby tent covered with big bore leather and poles driven into the ground.

It was incomparable to Arin’s tent, but it had no choice but to improvise in order to use [Mimicking] A little later.

“Ha, I’ll just rest for an hour and come out. Boo, please.”

“I understand. Don’t worry and rest well.”

Yeonhee entered the tent first, asking Yeom Tae-seok for a favor.

Yeom Tae-seok went straight out of the tent and went into guard duty with his

Yeonhee’s ears were turning bright red for some reason as she entered the tent on her knees.

I was about to follow them inside, but for some reason I felt eyes on the back, so I turned my head slightly.

“Hmm… Hmm…”

“Seup… This is a bit…”

“…”

Hayoon Noh, Arin Baek, Jooah Bae, and Eunyoung Ham were standing behind me and staring at me.

‘···’

I couldn’t figure out why they were doing that, so I stood there looking at them for a while, and Baek A-rin looked at me with a smile and said something, and then they all scattered.

“I have good ears. Ilwol.”

“Just…?”

I didn’t even understand the last words he said to me.

There’s no way they know about the strange relationship between me and Yeonhee… Do you sense something strange? Are you saying that you have good senses because you are a rabbit beast?

‘… I really don’t know. Hey, I don’t know.’

I wonder if it would be a delicate situation for women for a peerless beauty and a monster, who must have been a male, to enter the same tent…

Anyway, I can’t go out and talk about what happened here. I decided not to worry too much.

I shook my head and pushed myself into the tent. As expected, it was too narrow for a large person like me to enter.

Yeonhee was as close to the inside as possible, and I was sitting cross-legged, so it felt like the space was full.

I sat down and carefully covered the gap in the tent with leather.

“Uh… Um… How many minutes are left…?”

In a voice so low that only I could hear, Yeonhee asked how much time was left until the mimicry.
