I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner

226 – Monster Giving Food

The time when Ilwol was about to battle the Skeleton Knight.

Hyun Jung-seop, the younger brother of Hyun Jung-gil, the head of the Ilseom Guild.

His youngest son, Hyun Woo-seok, was attacking Hyun Jung-seop with unfiltered anger.

“Father! What on earth happened? Didn’t they clearly say they would delay it?”

Hyeon Joong-seop felt satisfied with the appearance of his son, but the way his son was showing now was something that, as a parent, he clearly could not tolerate.

“Even if you delay it, what difference will it make? There is nothing more to do, so just go!”

“But father!”

“Tsk tsk – foolish… That child will now be detained and investigated. Since he is not a healthy child, the special department will control it, but it will be hard work for him to endure due to his nature. They say his evil will spread to people around him, it would be better for you to keep that child away too.”

“Father, how could I-“

Kwaang─!

Hyun Jung-seop hit his office desk hard and scolded his youngest son.

“Isn’t the world watching? You no longer know what that kid you met was doing! Didn’t you go beyond this one who committed suicide after being bullied by that kid? If you try to cover up something like that, you too Why don’t you know that we are bound together!”

Hyun Woo-seok, who held his head and sobbed for a moment due to Hyun Jung-seop’s strong urging, spoke in a calm voice.

“… Okay… Please tell me one thing instead. Who is it? The human who watered us this time…”

His youngest son, Hyun Woo-seok, was not a complete idiot either. Heo Min-sol must have realized with the recently discovered information that she was not the true woman he thought she was. But Hyun Woo-seok also had pride.

She clearly recalled the image of Heo Min-sol being taken away by the special department staff, looking at her with resentful eyes as she shouted out loud that they would let her endure until the treatment was completed.

“Please let me know… I won’t do stupid things anymore. Just let me know and I will use my anger as fuel to achieve something that will satisfy me. I will definitely…”

Sigh─

The corner of Hyeonjung-seop’s mouth, who was looking out his window with his back to him, ascended to the sky.

‘This is how it works? Heo Min-sol That bitch barely shows any use in the end.’

“Ah, he is a person with such great power that not even I can do anything about him. Can you surpass him?”

“You won’t know unless you try… I’ve never said it out loud, but I don’t know that my talent is sky-high. Give me a chance. I’ll do it.”

‘Kkkk! Yes! It must have that kind of venom!’

“He is called [The wave of the battlefield].”

“─!!”

Hyun Woo-seok couldn’t believe his ears for a moment.

Among the early awakeners of our country, wasn’t he a giant standing shoulder to shoulder with his uncle his? It made me wonder why someone like that was interfering with my work.

“This information was also discovered through my own hard work. Please do not reveal it carelessly.”

“Yes. Thank you…”

“I heard his granddaughter is in the same party as those guys.”

“… I see…”

After Hyun Woo-seok said hello to Hyun Jung-seop, he just quietly walked back.

Even if I understand that the people who made the person they first had in their hearts miserable, they were the victims because they gave in 100 times. How could someone who had nothing to do with him use his power to interfere with his work? It was something he couldn’t forgive.

‘There’s no way a person of that caliber could have done that just at the request of his granddaughter.’

It’s probably meant as a warning to us who are trying to rise to the ranks of the top three guilds. Even if you do this, what can you do? You are that weak, so just stay still.

‘You’re helpless. I heard you don’t have a good relationship with your uncle. It comes back to me like this.’

The old monster knows very well that such helplessness is like a swamp, the more it piles up, the more it becomes impossible to escape.

After leaving Hyun Jung-seop’s office, Hyun Woo-seok reached the end of the long hallway and muttered quietly.

“Shadow… Please bring me all the information about [Waves of Battle].”

“…”

“I’ll wait.”

Hyun Woo-seok threw those words into the empty air and disappeared in an instant.

The information he mentioned does not mean the kind of information that comes up when anyone searches.

Shortly after he disappeared, someone spoke in the empty air as if he was in trouble.

“You talk so casually about the impossible mission. Ever since you were young, Master…”

The mysterious entity called Shadow showed a slight smile and soon hid even the small presence it had revealed.

* * *

“Let’s go quickly!”

At Yeom Tae-seok’s loud shout, the hunters began to raise their crouched bodies.

15 minutes before the maze door closes.

It was time for him to end his sweet rest and move on.

“Everyone, make sure you don’t miss anything! You can’t come here again!”

Not long after we busily packed our bags, everyone gathered in an orderly manner in front of the entrance to the maze.

“The guides will use their respective abilities to detect danger, but Yeonhee Lee will take on the role of leading guide!”

Yeonhee awkwardly raised her hand in response to Yeom Tae-seok’s shout.

Of course, Yeonhee’s role as her guide was referring to me, and the other hunters did not seem to have any major complaints.

“The road is ridiculously complicated, will it be okay?”

“First of all, it is clear that there are bats. There is a unique smell of poop.”

“There won’t be much vibration, but there may be some small bugs!”

Aside from me, there were three other people who served as guides, and if I improve on the parts that I cannot sense, I will be able to provide much more accurate guidance.

Things like vibration and smell are areas that they can react more sensitively to me.

– I entered a ‘slightly complicated passage.’ Free from penalty.

“Puh-haa—!”

“I guess I’ll live a little longer now, Sibeol.”

As we left the dust-filled cavity of the bat swarm, the penalty that had been bothering us was lifted. This means that although there are bats living in this passage, there are not enough numbers to warrant such a penalty.

Grumbling—!

“It’s coming!”

“Aww! Stop these boring things!”

Less than 10 minutes after starting the move, they were attacked by a swarm of bats hiding on the ceiling of the cave. Although the number was as high as eight hundred, it felt like child’s play to us who came out fighting against tens of thousands of animals.

‘A dagger in my left hand too!’

After some time, I started swinging the dagger with both hands. I was able to quickly annihilate them and set out on the road again.

But one more worthless battle like that. It continued on and on, and people slowly started to lose patience.

“The road is really twisted.”

“You’re on the right path.”

“I know that, but it feels like I’m going around the same place over and over again. This isn’t something people do. Damn it!”

“I’m starting to become more and more afraid of that skeleton’s abilities. I was quite confident in my role as a guide.”

“I have the same thought. What kind of monster is this? The ability to find the right answer without hesitation?”

It was a little more comfortable because the guides were helping me, but there was also the downside that I couldn’t concentrate because they kept praising me and making a fuss.

“Still, I’m glad that the air in the cave circulates sufficiently.”

“The flow of magical power… There is definitely a magical energy coming from a different place than here.”

‘Can you even tell the smell of magical power in the air…’

He was a more sensitive person than me who only felt scents in certain magical circuits.

We continued like that for two more hours, and it was lunch time.

I didn’t even tell Yeonhee, but in fact, we had to travel for two more days.

It’s okay now, but there will definitely be people who have mental problems later. The scariest thing here is not the monsters, but the people.

We had to manage it before people went crazy.

‘It’s still early in Irmana’s water… I’d like to share some big bore fish with you.’

Although the cave was not narrow, it was still not a good environment for grilling meat. The hind leg meat of the Big Boar was a delicacy even when eaten raw without being grilled, and it was an appropriate food because it was easy on the body.

I prepared food while surrounded by a group of monsters, cutting off only the hind leg meat and distributing it to the people.

“…Skeleton, are you a god?”

“I will eat well!”

“I will definitely go out and repay you. Really.”

“Oh my god… I wonder if I can join that party from the next dungeon?”

“… Well, then me too!”

The people who received the meat were chewing on the chewy and flavorful hind leg meat of the Big Boar and kept asking if they could join our party.

“Hmm – we have no plans to accept additional people yet.”

Since we had already agreed not to accept additional people unless they were as skilled as Noh Hayoon, Baek A-rin, the party leader, clearly indicated her intention to refuse.

Hunters from other parties were disappointed, but they weren’t too disappointed. I guess I just gave it a try without having high expectations in the first place. Isn’t it just a fussy reaction to being offered food?

In fact, if you look at abilities outside of our party, Joo Ye-seul was by far the best. But there’s nothing you can do. I have no choice but to kill them later and receive the ability reward.

‘I wonder if I can use it until the end…’

Even if it’s annoying, it’s a rational decision to grab someone by the collar and drag them away, but it’s a big risk.

Even now, there are three or four men clinging to her and farting loudly. You stupid bastards. Tsk tsk I didn’t know that busty girl was the god of death-

“Hang?”

“Why? What is there?”

Baek Arin suddenly perks up her ears. It seems like she is starting to sense it too.

“Per undead… The number is small. There are only a few.”

However, the mere thought of encountering the undead again in a dungeon where only bats appeared was enough to make me nervous. People’s expressions became more serious, and their voices gradually quieted down.

So we moved on for another day.

Now the number of bats is decreasing, and the number of skeleton tens and ghouls is starting to increase.

The feared phenomenon of low morale or abnormal group status among hunters did not occur.

It remained to be seen whether it was because I continued to supply big bore fish, or whether it was because of the sense of security that comes from not getting lost.

Usually, four months pass as you keep wandering down the same path. You could say my role is big.

“It’s amazing. It’s a shame that we can’t go out and talk about Yeonhee’s activities.”

Hong Yong-seok would often come over to us and talk, and each time he would make a long speech saying that our help was great. As if telling other hunters to listen.

‘Even if you don’t have to, if you’re a human, you should be thankful.’

Of course, Hong Yong-seok is probably like that because he knows that most hunters do not have such basic skills. Thank you. Thanks to this, I think the rewards I get from going out will increase a bit.

– Defeat 10,000 enemies using daggers while in stealth mode. (4,221/10,000)

‘Hmm… Well, it’s not that bad.’

Now all that’s left is dagger quests and leveling up.

– Obtain the Rune of Fury (Intermediate).

-The level has increased. Select three abilities to increase.

After killing undead for a day, my level went up by one level, but more than that, the rune I got this time was amazing.

Rune of Fury (Intermediate)

– When health is below 15%, attack power increases by 40%.

I took the rune with the highest value that can be obtained in the same class, commonly called the graduation rune.

My shoulder blades suddenly lifted.

I’m not going to use it right away, but I’ll take good care of it. Because the Rune of Fury does not appear in C-level dungeons.

“Is the rune good? Look at what you like. It’s really rattling, Ilwol.”

“Crack, crack, crack!”

“Puhup, I heard it’s really fun.”

We continued to march, taking care of even the little things like that, and eventually we were able to reach the place where the Skeleton Knight was sleeping.
