I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner

277 – Missing Colleagues

‘I think it will be difficult for Yeonhee… How long can we keep the others in? And how many people are possible?’

(Well… It seems like the sub-space you have no limit to what it can contain… I don’t understand, but anyway, 30 minutes is all I can do with my abilities.)

‘Another 30 minutes? Sheesh… I get it first.’

(Aren’t you going to try it?)

‘Doesn’t that have a reuse time?’

In response to my question, Ran scratched her head with her wing and said.

(Obviously… The ability to draw potential can only be used once a day.)

‘Of course.’

Anyway, as Ran grows, I will be able to tap into other possibilities that I have. It will be a great help in the future.

When the possibility arises, if you try to use abilities that you couldn’t use a few times. It will definitely become easier to get a feel for it.

As time goes by, you will be able to manifest yourself.

‘Good. Something is happening.’

Feeling quite a bit of fun in putting the puzzle together step by step, I devoted myself to sword training today as well.

‘Master told me to come back in three days. Until then, the only way to show any improvement is to practice.’

I trained until dawn and meditated for a while, then took out a strange item called [Elixir’s Whereabouts].

‘It’s the arrangement of a mischievous god… He can bring back to life even people who have been dead for a long time. You’re crazy. The other gods would be angry.’

Although the explanation was interesting, it felt like a distant story to me. By God… You probably mean something like that gigantic being you saw back then.

‘But what is this?’

What was puzzling was the state of the map.

‘What kind of map is this? ‘You don’t know what a map is?’

Nothing was properly drawn on the map, only four dots were blinking slowly.

‘… What? It feels similar to the mini map.’

When I clicked the blinking dot at the bottom, a message suddenly appeared.

– On the way to the [Immortal King], You are sometimes given unexpected karma.

– You have been given [Elixir’s Whereabouts], A task found with an extremely low probability.

– The process of finding the [Elixir] Hidden by the ‘Naughty God’ will be a long and arduous journey.

‘Ah… The King of the Immortals. It was because of this. I was wondering why an item suddenly appeared as a reward.’

I think you can think of it as a quest given to those who enter that path.

– In order to enter the path to the traces of the true ancestor, first achieve the necessary conditions.

‘Even conditions?’

– Defeat the great monster ‘Devouring Creeper’ and prove your qualifications.

I couldn’t believe my eyes for a moment when I saw the conditions the system came up with.

‘…Are you crazy?’

You have to joke about it to some extent, and kill the great monster that is destroying a country. This wasn’t something I could try right away?

I tried pressing the remaining three dots just in case.

– Defeat the great monster ‘Necrosquall’ and prove your qualifications.

– Defeat the great monster ‘Helionex’ and prove your qualifications.

– Defeat the great monster ‘Ensepallosaipon’ and prove your qualifications.

‘Haha… It wasn’t a joke. Crazy…’

They were all great monsters that had thrown a country into great chaos and were either asleep or in the process of destruction.

‘At least the Devouring Creeper is better. Because he has a clear compatibility with drugs.’

But that doesn’t mean I can inflict meaningful damage to the great monster.

‘If I accumulate five fire explosions, I don’t know… Hmm… I don’t think I’ll even be able to get near it.’

It was so far away that I couldn’t even remember the image in my head at the moment.

Even the Devouring Creeper, a small monster created as if cut from its stem, was a monster that far exceeded B-class, so it was a long way for me to get close to its body.

‘I guess I can forget about it for a while. Thank you for not leaving me with any regrets. ‘You child.’

Still, it was an interesting topic, so it was perfect as a short break during swordsmanship training.

I shook off my regrets about Elixir and continued training again.

The next day.

We went to visit Cha Jin-hyuk in the hospital, but we couldn’t say hello to him.

“You probably won’t wake up or anything, right?”

The reason Yeon-hee asks anxiously is because Cha Jin-hyuk has not recovered his mind after falling asleep yesterday.

I said that it was common for Hunters to suffer serious injuries and fall into suspended animation, and Yeonhee nodded but couldn’t take her eyes off Cha Jinhyuk.

– Brother…

– Don’t worry. The doctor said my body is recovering.

– Ugh- While saving us…

– Even though it’s not true. Don’t cry! Everyone. My brother always said Let’s live with only good thoughts.

– Okay…

I looked at the worried faces of the children surrounding Cha Jin-hyuk’s hospital bed. I felt sorry, but at the same time, I was jealous.

It was because I thought that Cha Jin-hyuk, who was loved by so many children, had already had a successful life.

‘I am only Yeonhee…’

After we left the hospital, we headed home with slightly bitter feelings.

The original plan was to kill Cha Jin-hyuk and form a temporary party with hunters in the D-class dungeon area nearby. I was thinking of clearing it once, but.

“Jin-kyung and Ji-woo… I heard that their abilities suddenly increased recently.”

As I was heading home, I thought about it carefully and realized that something related to evolution stones was not that far away.

“Could it be that your sisters have also fallen into that temptation?”

“Just…”

I hadn’t thought about them, but after listening to Yeonhee, I did.

“Let’s go to Helen first!”

Nod-

We hastened to return to relieve our concerns.

‘Song Jin-kyung, Lee Ji-woo…’

I had to check them out as they have shown surprising growth recently.

When we arrived at Helen’s store, we could already tell that something unusual had happened.

The sight of Helen pulling her hair and her red, bloodshot eyes said so.

“Yeonhee! Jin-kyung and Ji-woo… Hehe-“

“Such…”

Unfortunately, Lee Ji-woo and Song Jin-kyung have not been in contact since yesterday evening.

Hunters who were in the same party as they said they disappeared in a dungeon.

‘Missing… Unless the dungeon broke off. There’s no way they could do something like that in a low-level dungeon.’

Helen hugged Yeonhee and sobbed, saying that if only she had figured it out sooner, this wouldn’t have happened to her.

But soon she came to her senses and handed us a thin file.

‘This is…’

“I was already preparing to submit a request. This is the amount of data I have collected.”

The data she showed included information about other hunters in the party that Jin-kyung Song and Ji-woo Lee were in, and there was something suspicious about it as soon as I saw it.

“There are three Jibakryeongs who have been killing it for more than six months in the late E-class and early D-class. The remaining two are always filled with new recruits. The two new recruits are currently Jiwoo and Jingyeong. Look at this. For the past two years, their party and It’s related data.”

“This… All the new recruits were women?”

“Yes. Except for the three original members, the two positions have been changed at regular intervals. But the problem is that none of the replaced hunters are alive now. To be more precise, all of them have disappeared from the dungeon.”

“Hah… It’s dangerous. Why hasn’t something so clearly visible been noticed before?”

“As you know, there is a tendency to view deaths or disappearances in dungeons as the karma of hunters. And there is no way to accurately check, right?”

“That’s… Right.”

“These three are the ones who played a trick.”

The material Helen handed over included several photos and detailed personal information.

“The first time these kids started acting suspiciously was two years ago, when they reached the latter half of Class F.

Until then, I had wasted my time challenging dungeons and getting injured over and over again, but after some trick, I finally started to grow at a similar rate to other people.

And the growth rate graph appears to be steadily moving upward to this day.”

Helen paused for a moment and pursed her lips as she looked at Yeonhee.

When Yeonhee saw that, she nodded as if it was okay and asked.

“Yes. “What can we do?”

“Hmm… Actually, I was going to ask other people, but it would be hard to find someone with more reliable skills than you guys. This is my request. It’s also a request. Find Jin-kyung and Ji-woo and kill these three if you can.”

“…?!”

“And if you can find out what they did, and if you can find traces of people who seem to have been sacrificed by them, even better. That’s how much the request is.”

“Uh…? This is too much.”

The reward for success of the request presented by Helen along with her words poured out was 1.5 billion + α. What kind of money does this person have to give a huge sum of 1.5 billion to someone else’s business?

Helen continued her sentence while scratching the back of her neck.

“It’s a shame, but the amount I added is only a small amount. The rest of the requested money was collected in cooperation with the families of the missing people.

Advance payment of 500 million won. 500 million if it is confirmed that they were killed. If you find traces of the victims, it’s an additional 500 million. How is it? Honestly, the amount is not that much for something with such a high risk.”

“…I will do it.”

“Really? Um… And one of the missing person’s family members requested something additional, and this is paid separately as a success reward.”

“What is it?”

“There was one person who said he would pay a bonus if even one of them was caught alive. He runs a reasonably sized business, so I guess he has some money.”

“…I understand first of all.”

“Okay. Can you get started today?”

“Okay! I’ll start right away.”

Perhaps because something like that happened yesterday, or because she was worried about Ji-woo, Yeon-hee accepted Helen’s request without much hesitation.

“Thank you. Be careful. If you think it’s even the slightest bit dangerous, you can give up on the request. I don’t want you to be in danger too.”

“I’ll keep that in mind, sister.”

She was worried about us, but I actually wondered if there was such a sweet request.

‘I think I can do at least a few requests like this a day. Hmm – should we turn Helen back to brokerage work?’

While I was thinking about something else, we received the materials that Helen had brought us and headed to the luxury officetel where they were staying.

“This is more urgent than a promotion. Let’s get it done right away.”

Nod-

We arrived at the officetel in less than 30 minutes, but they were away so we had to wait for quite a long time.

“I confirmed that today is my day off. I will definitely come.”

“Tick, tick, tick.”

As if they had just finished a late breakfast, they showed up, smelling like food.

We took action as soon as they entered the house and took them down without difficulty.

‘It’s just these crappy things.’

Although we were still in the same D class, there was a big difference in rank between us.

After putting the three unconscious people in the corner after being hit in the chin, we searched the house. I was soon able to find meaningful data.

“This is a list of E-class hunters. How did they obtain this information? Did they hack the management office or the association?”

Secure a PC with a list of hunters to search for prey.

“Silwol, this!”

Although the containers were different from the ones I saw yesterday, I also found several bottles of ‘Jinhwa Water’ with a very similar scent.

‘As expected… Can we say that it has already spread throughout hunter society?’

You probably don’t know that becoming stronger in this way means eating away at your future potential.

It seemed like it was easy to fall into temptation because if I just passed the mid-level D level, my annual income would skyrocket.

‘In the end, it’s always about money.’

I used their car keys to check the navigation destinations on their cars, and also obtained a list of people I had frequently contacted recently.

The navigation showed a pension on the outskirts of the city that they regularly visited every weekend, and that place was suspicious.
