chapter 269
269 – Aiming for the Position of the Strongest Summoner
– Hwaagh─
Black smoke spread out from Drake’s mouth like breath, making him look even more gloomy. The guy who walked on four legs and crawled towards Yeonhee, soon lowered his head to the floor.
‘Is this a gesture of submission?’
Since it had the suspicious adjective ‘depraved’, I was worried that it might not be listening to Yeonhee’s orders, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
“Wow… Can I touch you?”
“······.”
‘He’s a quiet guy.’
Yeonhee, who always approached the summoned animals first except when she summoned zombies 1 and 2, couldn’t approach him as easily and even asked for his doctor first.
‘It’s small for Drake, but is it still a big hit?’
Of course, you have to see the ability, but just looking at the initiation of the appearance was enough to eat half of the food.
I was also glad to see the movement of the orcs watching out for him from behind.
Yeonhee carefully placed her hand on the boy’s face her, and the moment she touched him, his body shook her for a moment, but he soon got used to her touch her.
It looks like it feels pretty good to be wagging its tail.
‘The appearance itself is really cool. There’s nothing to worry about against quite a few monsters. Where-‘
I approached him to take a closer look.
Easy profit──
Paang-!
‘This bastard?!’
Its tail hits the air hard in front of my face, telling me not to come closer.
“Huh? No. Geomryong. We’re friends, friends. We can’t fight. Okay? Be kind.”
Yeonhee was shocked and tried to persuade the guy who had already given him the name Geomryong, but Drake shook his head and glared at me.
‘What are those eyes? Are you saying let’s stick together?’
The guy’s gaze clearly had that meaning. Are you really saying that as soon as you see the outside world, you want to become the strongest among summoned beasts? Or is he trying to monopolize Yeonhee’s love her?
Whatever it was, I couldn’t tolerate it.
‘Whoa, you bastard. I guess I need some training.’
Of course, it would not be an easy match since he was assumed to be at the top of Class B, but it was a fight he could never lose.
‘Senior commanders don’t work?’
– This is an entity that cannot be controlled by [Senior Commander].
‘Hehe, indeed. It’s absurd.’
“Kyaa- Hahang-! Ilwol, look at this!”
Before she knew it, Yeonhee was perched on the back of the guy’s neck and was assuming a majestic posture as if she were a dragon knight.
Although Drake is classified as a subspecies of dragon, it was only during the ‘First Wave’ that such a huge being called a dragon was actually seen. In fact, it was a monster treated as a dragon.
‘Well, let’s sort out the ranking later. Anyway, there is no doubt that it is a hit.’
Rumbling-
Yeonhee looked down at the summoned beasts from ‘Geomryongi’s’ neck, fell down as if going down a slide, and spoke.
“Wow – but the magic power is being used up really quickly. Even though my magic power has increased a lot recently, I can’t handle it.”
‘I guess so. It won’t be easy to maintain that level of existence.’
Yeonhee’s magical power level is clearly much higher than mine. If Yeonhee was able to hold out her tongue like that, I could see how extreme the consumption of magical power was.
“Phew – Geomryong is in for now.”
“······.”
Shadow Drake slightly bent his head towards Yeonhee and disappeared, leaving behind an afterimage of black smoke.
He didn’t forget to glare at me one more time at the end. A cocky bastard.
I didn’t do anything, but it was unfair for me to be hated. As Yeonhee opened her summons again, she focused on her again.
“I hope there’s another kid like Geomryong…!”
However, despite Yeonhee’s earnest wishes, the jackpot like before did not hit
Flutter-
“Kyaa?! Another sword dragon?”
Yeonhee cheered as black feathers fluttered from the portal, but it was ‘Wear Raven’ that appeared.
It is a crow-shaped humanoid monster that is one of the most commonly seen monsters in C-grade dungeons along with the crocodile-shaped ‘Wear Croc’.
‘Not bad. This might be better than other wear products.’
It has a skill that confuses the opponent by creating a ‘black vortex’, and also has a flying ability comparable to that of a harpy and a skill that releases wings from a distance.
Although he had the face and wings of a crow, he had the body of a human, giving off a rather bizarre aura. He ran straight in front of Yeonhee, bent one knee, and bowed his head.
It was a very different atmosphere from the ‘Geomryong’ guy a little while ago.
“Wow – I heard there are a lot of wear types in C class. You are my first wear summon. Nice to meet you!”
“Horororo-!”
Basically, it is highly intelligent and has a cunning nature, so it gets tiring when dealing with enemies. He is quite a reliable guy to have on the same team.
‘It’s not bad.’
“Yay! Fourth!”
The next fourth summon was a harpy.
‘Is today a flying bell concept?’
We already have Neos Harpy, but the ‘Harpy’, which is a step up from that, has a beautiful face and even a human-like chest area.
‘Ho-oh, it’s new since I haven’t seen you in a long time.’
Her appearance is so outstanding that it is said that a harpy can charm men and drag them to a cliff. However, when she was placed next to Yeonhui, her beauty seemed shabby.
‘As expected, there is no living being that surpasses Yeonhee.’
I looked at that with satisfaction, and Yeonhee went straight to her fifth summons her.
And the last one to be summoned was the ‘Dire Wolf’ that was summoned the first time.
“Ah, it’s Wanggwi!”
‘… It looks like you’ve already forgotten the name I gave you.’
As soon as the dire wolf, now named Wang-gwi, saw Yeon-hee, he rushed towards her and was busy licking her with his thick tongue.
“Kyahaha- it tickles. Stop-“
Even if you think of it as an abbreviation for the commonly called Return of the King, Dire Wolf is something that roughly fits the meaning.
‘Because it keeps coming up to S-class dungeons.’
Dire Wolves, like Orcs, continue to appear even as the dungeon level increases. The horns increase one by one up to A-level, but when they reach S-level, their final form is a huge single horn.
The performance he showed at that time was worthy of being called the advent of the electric god.
Unfortunately, no werewolves or orcs were summoned, but this summoning could have scored 98 out of 100.
Yeonhee seems to be somewhat satisfied, as she slightly depressed energy has returned to her usual tension.
After watching the status of the summoned beasts for a while, we went straight to the building where the trio had purchased the evolved beasts.
“A were raven… Should we call it a black pecker? It means a black bird, but it’s a cute way to call it a pecker!”
Nod-
Yeonhee moved around with a flushed face while thinking about the name of the monster, and it made her smile because she looked like an innocent child.
And 20 minutes later.
“Over there.”
We arrived in front of the building, and after some discussion, I decided to sneak in alone.
“Are you really going to go alone?”
Yeonhee seemed to want to be with me somehow, but she didn’t throw a tantrum.
‘It’s dangerous to go together. Even if you look at it from afar, there are a lot of strong people.’
Maybe if I could give Yeonhee concealment as well, I have no choice this time.
Even if everything else is overlooked, we have no choice but to make conservative decisions regarding Yeonhui’s safety. That’s true for both Yeonhee and me.
“Take Ran with you. This time, as the ability increased, the summoning distance also increased.”
Nod-
“If there’s danger, send a signal. I’ll go with Geomryong to help!”
Clatter-clatter-
Yeonhee’s face looked so solemn that I burst out laughing for a moment.
If I summon Geomryong to the city center, I don’t even think about what to do next. It seemed cute to talk seriously.
Yeonhee, who saw my shoulders shaking, faintly and summoned Ran in her palm
I felt uncomfortable leaving Yeonhee alone again, but it was within the scope of my senses since it was a cafe across from the building.
Fortunately, I was within range of the earring artifact, so I was able to start work with peace of mind.
I told Yeonhee to keep her emotions as low as possible, just in case.
“Okay. I’ll just quietly drink my coffee.”
Nod-
I don’t know why, but seeing Yeonhee obediently following my instructions made me feel embarrassed because my passion rose.
(Close your shoulders.)
Now, a small bird with no feathers left jumps out of Yeonhui’s palm and onto my shoulder
‘Why do your feathers keep falling out?’
(Hmm – it’s a temporary penance in order to become a greater being.)
Perhaps this guy won’t grow like Geomryong?
Ran had also been stagnant for too long. I don’t know what they’re taking this time off to achieve, but whatever it is, the abilities that currently only provide [Acceleration] And agility buffs will be greatly improved.
I put the bullet from my shoulder into my chest pocket and immediately sneaked into the building.
And as soon as I entered, I couldn’t help but gape.
‘Wow – I spent a lot of money.’
The building had a dense network of detection barriers starting from the lobby on the first floor, and the elevators and staircases were packed with such barriers.
With this level of density and performance, it didn’t seem easy to evade even if you piled up a lot of sense and magic in your cloak like when you infiltrated Heo Min-sol’s building.
‘It’s a problem you don’t have to worry about if you climb on the outside wall of the building.’
However, the 16th floor, where they purchased the fire extinguishing water, was blocked by the outer wall of the building, so there was no other way.
I moved through the lobby toward the stairs, removing the barrier lines one by one with a dagger mixed with senses and magic.
As I moved carefully, I glanced toward the elevator.
All I could sense was the 17th floor, but the elevator only went up to the 15th floor.
They must have installed a device to prevent access to the top two floors.
There was a hidden elevator in the corner of the building, which appeared to go directly to the 16th and 17th floors.
However, going up the elevator confidently was a burden.
Moreover, the elevator on the first floor didn’t even have a button to go up.
It seemed like it was a way to send information from above.
Jerbeok-
(Why did you make such a mess?)
As I was going up the stairs, steadily disarming the barrier, even Ran, who was usually quiet outside, was getting frustrated with the slow progress.
‘It’s definitely slow.’
Then a question suddenly occurred to me.
‘Wait for a second. Can’t this just pass by?’
