I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner

257 – What the Head Tells, What the Heart Chooses

But now it has become an option I can never go back to. I guess I should just look at it as the fun I get from the advancement stage.

Then the message came back to mind.

‘Hey, teacher. Let’s take it easy.’

– Take the opportunity to kill your enemy. Where do you stand, holding the coldly forged dagger?

1. The front of the enemy 2. The back of the enemy

Damn, it doesn’t give you time to think.

But it was an easy question by my standards.

‘Kkeukkeuk… This is easy.’

There is a certain romanticism to facing each other head-on while confidently looking each other in the eye.

‘It would be much more satisfying to sneak up on him, stick a knife in his back, and see his distorted face.’

An old monster named Jo Gi-man who lives seven lives.

I wanted to give a blow to the guy who was looking down on the world, thinking he knew everything.

Clatter-clatter-

Just imagining it made his ribs dance.

‘I’ll choose number 2.’

– Select number 2 to continue the possibilities of [Bonecloak Nightblade] And [Shadowborn Infiltrator].

‘Oh? I wasn’t throwing it away this time. It’s good to keep the possibilities going no matter what. But are these… Jobs specialized in hiding?’

Interestingly, the two jobs that inherited the possibility each had the abilities ‘Shadow Bone Cloak’ and ‘Existence Existence’, both of which were abilities that were compatible with stealth.

‘Hmm… I wonder if it has something to do with the removal of restrictions on hiding after clearing the quest.’

Anyway, this choice wasn’t a bad one.

Stealth is an ability that must be maintained.

On the other hand, I wondered what possibilities I would have inherited if I had made the choice to face it head on.

‘Skeleton Knight… I think it’s from that branch.’

Suddenly, I thought of ‘Natalan Zachman’, who was steadily advancing towards Nargul.

‘Hmm – that must have had its own atmosphere.’

A commander who coordinates the battlefield while maintaining harmony between offense and defense.

However, Yeonhee will take on that role, and I will have to go as the single strongest force, so it will be a bit inconsistent.

My brief thoughts were distracted by the subsequent message.

This definitely felt different from the previous questions.

– Summon, fire, water, wind, ice, nature, rock, light, sand, lightning, death, void, gravity, sound, shadow…

‘Uh… What are you asking me to do?’

The message that continued continuously stopped at some point, and soon another message followed.

– This is a list of the original abilities that ‘Skeleton Demon Swordsman Ilwol’ experienced.

‘It’s a source ability… But?’

– You can strengthen or continue the possibilities of three of these.

– If you do not make a choice within time, three will be chosen at random. The time limit is 10 minutes.

‘… This is definitely good, though. So what happens to the ones that aren’t selected? It would be nice if I could use even a little bit.’

Although strengthening sounds attractive, it was also true that the possibilities for the rest would be disappointing.

‘Hmm – three things. Are you asking us to choose and focus…’

The system seems to have infinite possibilities, but in times like this, I felt a will to guide it in a more efficient direction.

Anyway, I calmly reviewed the things on the list.

‘Summon, this is Yeonhee’s ability… Do I need to take this?’

I had a vague expectation that if I chose a summon, there would be some positive correction to abilities such as [Essential Gluttony].

But since I am not alone, I had to consider efficiency.

Why bother when there is a genius summoner? I thought so.

When Yeonhee raises a large army, I am on the front line facing the most powerful enemy.

The minion ‘Gori’ has some useful aspects, but I didn’t expect it to play a decisive role against strong enemies.

‘Well… I was summoned as expected.’

Next, fire is probably an ability that you must have at all costs. Rather, I want to invest in three possibilities.

On the other hand, water and ice seem to be abilities that originated from Irmana and Noh Hayun, but fire felt contradictory, so I was cautious.

‘Water and fire are probably abilities that are difficult to coexist with.’

The light comes out in a similar way and is of the utmost quality. Isn’t it funny that this comes up as an option in the first place? To kill someone.

‘Now that I think about it, it must be here somewhere.’

Just before escaping from Nargul’s dungeon, I killed the light mage ‘Joo Ye-seul’and put her body in my inventory, so it must be lying around somewhere in this space.

‘I’ll have to collect the bodies later.’

That doesn’t mean I’m going to eat the corpse or anything, but I might have some use for it later.

I nod my head and look at the original abilities presented again.

Wind and lightning are probably abilities related to ‘lightning walk’ or [High-speed flight] Used when moving.

Death, this seems to be related to [94 Lives]… I guess the sound came from the monster ‘speaker’?

I know everything else. Vacuum? What is this?’

It was something I had never even heard of.

Wizard Eudaly’s natural plant magic.

A woman with shadow abilities who watched our house a few days ago.

An orc wizard who controls sand.

Cha Jin-hyuk’s ability to manipulate gravity.

I think it includes things I have only seen with my own eyes.

‘Void, empty. Void… Have you ever felt something like that?’

As the word says, it’s empty inside… Nothing, non-existent. That kind of ability.

‘It feels similar to crossing the gate.’

An empty feeling every time I enter or leave a dungeon. There was definitely a resemblance.

As I thought about it like that, one thing came to mind.

‘A red-haired elf I met in the orc dungeon.’

To be exact, the ability to penetrate the portal used by the old man next to him.

‘Come to think of it, Nargul also used something similar in the Hidden Dungeon. ‘Tania also opened a portal when showing Titan.’

Of course, the texture was slightly different from what the older man used.

‘Is it the ability of the concept of space to connect two unconnected spaces?’

As expected, I wasn’t sure.

However, it was clear that it was a unique ability, so I was intrigued. You can’t choose something like this, right?

‘Good. Let’s take fire and void. Then the last one is… Shadow? This is a bit… Ambiguous. It’s also a bit uncomfortable to see the blue-eyed guys wearing shadow cloaks.’

It seems to be related to stealth, but since the restrictions on stealth have been lifted, it seemed like a priority to see how much power it exerts.

‘Gravity is good, too. There is a decisive drawback.’

I still remember seeing Cha Jin-hyuk’s article when I was alive and being interested, so I searched for information.

Gravity manipulators were extremely rare throughout history, but they had one thing in common. That is, once the ability is activated, no other abilities can be used.

‘It’s an ability that consumes magic power quickly. Well, I can handle that, but the delay in responding to the danger facing Yeonhee is a minus.’

“Tick, tick…”

‘Would it be better to have wind or lightning?’

There was no need to say more about the importance of mobility.

Of course, wind and lightning were great for offensive use, but the ones I currently have are mobile devices.

‘I think lightning would be good. I’m already using Lightning Step.’

I had expectations that if I increased the possibility, I could further improve the perfection of the lightning steps that I am currently imitating clumsily.

It is an ability that is not yet recognized as a skill, so it will definitely be helpful.

In addition, when I fired [Fire Blast] Five times at the giant giant skull, its strong presence that engulfed me also played a role in my choice.

A dazzling light that brightened up the whole world and a vicious wave of lightning that seemed to tear the sky apart.

Creepy─

Just thinking about it makes my bones shrivel.

‘······ Let’s do it with lightning.’

If you can follow even a speck of that enormous being, you will be able to easily suppress Jogiman and the like.

‘I will use fire, lightning, and void.’

– Strengthens the potential of fire, lightning, and void.

‘Well, trust me and let’s go.’

Although I chose it carefully, there may be no need to take it that seriously.

Last time I changed jobs, it was written that I gained the potential for rock magic.

In the end, considering that I only used fireballs all the time during level 20 and didn’t even see the rock bazaar, the possibility was just a possibility.

‘If I had become closer to Bae Ju-ah, would I have been able to use rock magic?’

As I was briefly thinking of Bae Joo-ah’s face her frowning and wiping off her glasses, I felt a little goosebumps at the unexpected message.

-You have met your final enemy. If you fail to kill your enemies, this world will end. The enemy’s combat power is 100, and your combat power is 80. You have five out-of-combat allies, and each time you sacrifice one, you gain 5 combat power. How many comrades are you willing to sacrifice?

1. No sacrifice.

2. 1 person

3. 2 people

4. 3 people

5. 4 people

6. 5 people

– There is no option not to choose.

‘Wow – this is a bit much. That’s the question.’

This time, even the trick of silence was blocked.

‘Whoa – let’s think calmly. This is just a question to reflect my personality. Right?’

…

‘Shit! There’s no reason to worry since there are only five people.’

Yeonhee and other party members came to mind, but I thought about it calmly again.

Putting aside the awkward answer sheets, what about number 1?

Even if the world falls apart, I can’t sacrifice my comrades! It’s a choice you’d only see in a boy’s cartoon called

If the system gives points to the humanity of humanity and comrade animation, it is definitely a choice worthy of generous evaluation.

But does the system that manages the dungeons and awakened people, where countless people die every day, care about that?

‘That’s bullshit. This is not it.’

So, how about choosing the most cool-headed and rational option?

‘Sacrifice everyone and stably kill the enemy with 105 combat power. Actually, this is the best?’

It is too unreasonable to leave one person behind and fight 100-100 without knowing how it will turn out.

Even with the one person who wasn’t sacrificed, I wonder if the battle will go well if I care about it.

If I lose, the world will disappear, so I can’t take that risk. I don’t have it…

My head pointed to sacrificing everyone, but the words “Five comrades” Still got stuck in my throat.

I remember having dinner with Yeonhee, Bae Joo-ah, Baek A-rin, Ham Eun-young, and Noh Hayun.

I keep thinking about the problem by substituting them. Even though this was just a job change option, it was a question that couldn’t be ignored.

Just thinking about her made her reluctant to abandon her.

‘Five people… Yeonhee… If we can’t save Yeonhee, we have to save the world…’

What is the reason I was born and live in this world?

‘…Number 5. Four people are sacrificed.’

– After sacrificing four people and gaining 20 combat power, you engaged in a fierce battle with the final enemy. However, your concentration was scattered due to your allies being unable to fight, and you were ultimately defeated.

– The world was destroyed by your choice.

Shocked-

‘Isn’t the world really ruined?’

– Rest assured. It is just a process for changing jobs.

‘Whew-‘

– However, there is no law preventing the same situation from recurring.

‘…Yes. Definitely… You’re right.’

I feel bitter and at the same time my thoughts deepen. The same situation is coming… It’s something I really don’t want to think about.

‘…’

Time passes in silence like that.

‘…But is this the end?’

I thought something would come up after the question, but strangely, nothing came to mind this time.

Either the possibility was gained or it disappeared, neither of which happened.

‘Hmm… Was this really just for the purpose of identifying tendencies?’

As I sighed in relief, the message I had been waiting for finally came to mind.

– We present the most appropriate option based on the path you have taken so far.

‘Hmm? This is the most suitable one. Is it really a single choice this time?’

Without having to worry, they suggest the most suitable option based on my choices and the path I have taken. These were just as exciting words.
