I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner

240 – Creepy

I thought I heard it wrong because I heard it at the time when [Mimicking] Was released.

Buuuuung—!

[Sigh…]

‘…’

Hmm…

I swung five hundred more times while coexisting with the rare auditory hallucinations. This is because the primary goal was to swing one thousand times in the upright position.

However, throughout the training, laughter like ‘Phew, keuhuh, puha-‘ kept bursting out of my head.

I slowly became angry.

Even [Coolness] Couldn’t stop me.

I am so angry that it rivals the time when Noh Hayun attacked me without knowing how to behave.

(Who are you?)

After sticking the great sword into the ground and using it as a staff, he asked the mysterious being.

[…

When I asked who it was, the being kept quiet as if it had never done that again.

(Who is it? The person who kept laughing when I swung my sword.)

[You’re probably not talking about me…]

(You are correct.)

[Hey!]

Degurrr─

I heard the sound of something falling and rolling around for a moment, and after a short delay, he asked me again.

[Can you really hear me?]

(Ha… I can hear it. I can hear it. From now on, don’t laugh. It’s hard to concentrate.)

When he smiled, he sounded like he was laughing, but when I heard his voice, he was an old man who had passed at least the age of 2 years. So I had no choice but to politely correct his tone.

[…What on earth are you?]

Zen questions and such are not my hobby at all… And shouldn’t I be the one asking that question?

Still, I thought it was right to introduce myself first, so I spoke politely.

(My name is Ilwol, and I am a skeleton soldier. I am the summoner’s pet.)

[… I see…]

I see? I thought you were going to ask me what kind of bullshit that was?

The mysterious grandfather remained silent for a while, then spoke in a serious voice.

[… I know one thing for sure.]

(What do you mean?)

[…Once you die, come find me.]

Creepy───

(What?!)

It felt like I had been hit on the head with a hammer by my grandfather’s words.

The way he speaks as if he knows that he has multiple lives.

(…What are you really?)

[I’ll let you know when you find me.]

(Over there? Over there! Grandpa! Hey!)

But no matter how much I called, I could no longer hear the old man’s voice.

‘Ana, what is this again! Now it’s really overload.’

I’m not a smart person, but I felt like I had too many things to take care of. Now I have to wander around looking for a grandfather I have never met…

‘Is this why I suddenly heard auditory hallucinations that I couldn’t hear before?’

– [Forgotten Ancient Swordsmanship] Has been unlocked.

‘Wow… I really didn’t expect this at all.’

I lay down in my seat and looked at the night sky.

‘Why are you doing this to me?’

[Mimicking] Time has already passed and it has become a skeleton.

Even if he wanted to sigh, he couldn’t rest, so his frustration grew.

Can’t we increase the number of times [Mimicking] Is used? Transform yourself when you need to and scream loudly.

‘…’

[Summoner’s assistant]

I used the level-up ticket I received as a reward for [Forgotten Ancient Swordsmanship].

– It is already a complete feature.

‘It doesn’t work? When you say perfect, do you mean Max?’

So, this ability is just an ability that connects you to the old man, and does not improve the swordsmanship itself.

‘Wow, the back of my head is tingling. They say it’s swordsmanship… Then it means working hard…’

I eventually chose [Flame Explosion] As a reward to level up.

—-

【Fire Explosion Lv.2】

– Explodes the accumulated ‘Mark of Flame’ all at once.

– Deals damage equal to 850% of magic attack power.

– For each ‘Mark of Flame’ exceeding five, attack power +150%

– Ignores all beneficial effects and armor except [Invincibility].

– Each explosion permanently reduces the target’s maximum health by 150.

– Enemies hit by five fire explosions are guaranteed to die.

—-

‘Wow – as expected. Even though I only raised one level, the damage went up a lot.’

With this level of increase, even that huge skeleton monster could be killed five times before.

I especially liked that the maximum health reduction increased from 100 to 150.

At 150, even if a mid- to low-level hunter avoids instant death, it will be difficult for him to demonstrate his power as a hunter anymore.

“Tick, tick, tick…”

I feel like my mind, which was dazed after being stabbed in the back by a forgotten ancient sword technique, has recovered a little.

‘The summoner’s assistant. Help Yeonhee…’

It doesn’t matter whether it’s material or spiritual.

Yeonhee looks very tired today, so I’ll try what I did in the tent one more time tomorrow and see if I get the reward again.

‘Ha…There are so many useless stars.’

As I lay down and looked at the sky, a thought suddenly occurred to me.

It is said that in the past, even if you looked up at the night sky, there were not many stars.

However, as energy raw materials, including magic stones, could be supplied from dungeons, the Earth’s environment rapidly recovered, and it is now possible to see stars in the night sky even in the city center.

As I look at the falling jewel-like starlight, I am able to look at the mysterious and eerie experience I just had in a slightly positive light.

‘Skills always benefit the user.’

I have to believe that and follow it.

‘…’

I stand up again and swing my sword.

‘Why did that old man laugh at me? Is it that bad?’

Since it is an entity related to ancient swordsmanship, it must have been so excited after seeing my swordsmanship.

‘… Uncle Joong-gil told me to just do this for now.’

I still trusted Hyun Joong-gil, who I had been with for a month, more than the mysterious being.

Buuung─

I just devoted myself to training in silence until Yeonhee turned over and called my name.

*

Yeonhee woke up briefly in the morning, ate breakfast, and then slept late until lunch was over.

And he only started his activities in the afternoon, and his first schedule was to visit the blacksmith shop with me.

“Hey—! You’ve become a very famous guest!”

The blacksmith owner, whom I had not seen in a long time, had a thicker waist and a slightly shorter height than when I first saw him. It was a very subtle change, but it was noticeable to me.

“But they only extended it by three days. It was of no use since I was trapped in the dungeon.”

Because we were trapped for a week, we couldn’t confirm whether this person made the greatsword quickly.

So he grinned and said it was a good service, and Yeonhee thanked him.

In the meantime, I was so caught up in the completed great sword that I couldn’t come to my senses.

‘Amazing… My thoughts were short. It’s a complete defeat.’

I thought that since I could make a great sword with my bones, I wouldn’t need to buy a great sword anymore, but that was a crazy thought.

‘It’s beautiful… But it feels like I applied too much force?’

The pommel and rain guard of the great sword were tastefully decorated with extremely elaborate patterns, and the handle connecting them had diagonal lines the width of the palm of the hand to facilitate gripping.

The long puller running along the center of the sword body is grooved with elegant lines that belie its function to lighten the weight of the sword, giving it a beautiful appearance that makes you wonder if it was made for decoration.

The edge was double-edged, as ordered, and it was clear that if you put a piece of paper on the sharpened blade, it would cut into two pieces with a pleasant sound.

Unknown Cardinite Greatsword

– This is the work of a blacksmith who has not yet achieved fame. The combination of rare materials and budding talent resulted in a greatsword that boasts much higher performance compared to its magic stone grade.

– Attack power +55

– Durability: 950/950

—-

‘You’re crazy.’

The attack power was twice that of Argen’s dagger and three times that of Tung’s club. The monster-like performance made my lower jaw widen.

Of course, Argen’s dagger was literally just a dagger for decoration, so it was impossible to compare, but the attack power, which was twice that of the existing weapon, was enough to surprise.

‘Even the durability is 950…’

Considering the nature of the sword, which wears out quickly, its durability was also very high. This can be attributed to the rare mineral ‘cardinite’.

I went outside the container for a moment and tried swinging the sword.

Whiooooo─ Shioooh──

‘The sound is different.’

It could not be compared to the bone greatsword, which was closer to a blunt weapon.

‘I just need to learn how to use this and copy it later if I need it, right?’

I was so satisfied that I swung my sword frantically. I loved the feel of it sticking to my hand!

I was so focused on the sword that I couldn’t even notice Yeonhee coming out, but I was barely able to stand up when I heard the blacksmith clear his throat.

“Do you like it?”

“Tick, tick, tick!!”

“Hehe, it was a good idea to come here, right? I found it well, didn’t I?”

Nod-

Not only Yeonhee, but even the blacksmith and the clown who were watching me swing the sword next to me had their mouths raised.

Haha- it’s a pleasure to see you swinging so vigorously! We ask our customers to continue to use us in the future!”

Several other blacksmiths appeared behind him as he chuckled. They brought a cart full of iron shields, which they had ordered to give to their summons.

‘Wow… This one is of much better quality than the one that Ddung gave me.’

It had higher defense, was larger in size, and was lighter than the round shield. I was curious what kind of expression he would make if I brought this to him.

I handed the blacksmith a few more chunks of cardinite, as well as the oversized advanced magic stone I got from killing the giant giant skull I faced at the end of this dungeon.

“Oooh- this is a monster the size of a small mountain…! I wondered who caught it, and sure enough! Hehe-“

Only half a day has passed, but hunters who like to talk have already revealed detailed information about the huge monster.

Thanks to this, people recognized its value without me having to explain it.

“It’s a sword after all, right?”

Nod-

Since I have bone armor, making anything else wouldn’t have helped much. There is also chain armor.

“Hmm… I’ll have to wait until we get into production to get a feel for this… First of all, it will take at least two weeks.”

This time, the production period was about 15 days.

Looking at the blacksmith’s expression, it seemed like it was not an easy goal.

In addition, ‘Natalan Zachman’s’ magic stone was used as material for Yeonhee’s staff, and he also handed over the remaining Nargul and Skeleton Knight’s magic stones to be used to make weapons and shields.

Since the summoned beasts also have a mysterious substance that Yeonhee gives them, armor can be put as a low priority.

After parting ways with the blacksmith, I stopped by the association and disposed of all the miscellaneous runes.

The runes collected over the course of a week amounted to three figures.

Originally, runes were difficult to supply and there was no need to trade in such large quantities, so it took more time than expected.

Although the exact calculations have not been made yet, the income we earned through this dungeon alone was well over 700 million.

We gathered up enough runes and talked as we headed to Helen’s store.
