I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner

391 – For Balance

I thought while looking at Azraelon.

‘It’s probably one of the two. Was he in a high position among the demons… Or was he also a ‘seeker’ walking the path of kings?’

King of the Immortal.

I already knew through the system’s message and Master Gusul that I was not the only one walking that path.

I guess that means I am just the first to walk the path as a skeleton soldier, and there is nothing more special about it.

If you think about it that way, it wasn’t surprising that Azra was someone who was walking to see the end like me.

‘Maybe Jo Jogi-man is walking his own path…’

Maybe so.

“You can come over! I’ve only changed a little since I changed jobs.”

“Uh… Well… The atmosphere is very different from when I changed jobs before?”

“This is similar to the feeling of intimidation you get when entering a boss battle. No, it’s even worse than that.”

“Just…”

Shock─

When I lightly bump my molars, my colleagues’ shoulders shake greatly.

‘Hmm… I see why you said it would reduce the risk of being attacked.’

Anyone who wants to attack me will not be able to attack properly if they fall into that state.

I closed my eyes and tried to somehow lower the feeling of ‘intimidation’ that had greatly increased after changing jobs.

‘Reduce… Decrease. I am a good skull-‘

As if those efforts were having some effect, Noh Hayun began to approach me secretly.

Then he touches my elbow and opens his mouth wide, showing surprise.

“Wow, the joints are perfect now. My hands have become more natural. I feel a bit like a knight of the royal guard? Isn’t that the vibe?”

“Well… I guess so…”

“Huh… I can feel the energy of lightning somehow?”

‘Maybe it’s because I’m familiar with the properties of lightning, but I recognize it right away.’

Yeonhee looked at her stiff colleagues for a moment, then brought up another topic to lighten the slightly awkward atmosphere.

“Exploration will be easier today. I have summoned a new summon.”

“Really? “What kind of kid is this?”

“It’s a water spirit.”

“Oooh…!!”

When Yeonhee whispers about the existence of fibrin, her colleagues quickly cover their mouths and ask again with a glance if it is real.

(A spirit?!)

“Awesome…! Let’s go in quickly!”

“I miss you.”

At the urging of our colleagues, we hurried to the gate.

And I entered the dungeon as usual, but I felt like I was entering a different world, and then I felt a different sensation than usual.

Chijijijijik- Pajik-

‘Hmm… ?!’

A resistance I had never felt before suddenly tried to push me away.

‘Wh-what?! Why is this happening all of a sudden?’

I didn’t know what happened, but I tried to push away the force and enter the dungeon.

Kukdeukdeuk-deuk-deul-deul-eong!

Even the armor was fragmented and broken and there was no chaos.

At some point, my body flew towards Yeonhee as if I was being sucked in.

I think I was able to come inside thanks to the effect of being bound by Yeonhee.

Pushiiiii─

Upon entering the dungeon, a large amount of smoke rose from the armor.

“Huh? What’s wrong with Ilwol?!”

“What?! Have you been attacked?”

Yeonhee and her colleagues were shocked to see the surface of the newly fitted flame armor melted and crushed.

I was lost in thought as I recovered my body with magical power.

‘Why did this happen? There must be only one answer. Damn it.’

“More, the dungeon is pushing out. That!”

“I heard that too! If someone stronger than the dungeon’s level is forced to enter, their body will melt.”

“Ah…”

Only then did Yeonhee make an expression of realization, and I was also wondering what to expect, but after hearing that, I became convinced.

‘My level has already risen to a level that does not suit this dungeon.’

Since Geomryong and Castle were summoned to the dungeon without incident, I thought the summoned beasts would be free from such restrictions.

Didn’t even the ogre come from a lower level dungeon?

So, could you have imagined that it would be like this?

‘A being that is neither a monster nor a summoned beast nor a human being, but rather an entity that straddles an uncertain boundary…’

Suddenly, the great villain ‘Binci Monk’ came to mind.

The skill it had was an ability called ‘Border Sanctuary’.

If I get it, will I be able to find other clues?

“Hey, Ilwol! I’ll unsummon it and then summon it again, okay?”

“… Crackle.”

Okay, let’s try what we can.

As Yeonhee chanted a short spell, a huge summoning gate suddenly appeared.

“Wow – it’s so big.”

“It seems much bigger than the last time I saw it…’

Because Yeonhee always travels with her, her colleagues, who rarely see the summoning door, look at the door sparkling with blue light as if in wonder.

I was soon eaten by the door and returned to the dark space, and soon after, I was called back to the dungeon.

No, I was trying to come out.

Grumbling─

Kwazijijijik─

‘Oh my… Damn…!’

Although it was less so than when I entered the dungeon a little while ago, the dungeon still tried to push me away.

Cradangtang!

“Oh, are you okay?”

After falling awkwardly to the floor, I decided to focus on recovery.

Just lie still and concentrate your mind to circulate your magic power.

I was barely able to handle my body.

‘Whoa… I really didn’t even think about this.’

In the midst of a difficult time, a message came to mind, and I stamped the deportation order.

– The ‘manager of balance’ is very angry at unfair competition.

‘Damn… Since when did you get so good at balance?’

I didn’t like the rules that were somehow strictly applied only to me.

– All abilities are lowered by 10%.

‘It’s a plague.’

You may think that a 10% reduction is an acceptable number, but seeing that the Wisdom level, which had exceeded Meteor’s minimum requirement, fell back to below 500, it seemed like a big deal.

“Oh… I guess I can’t summon it from inside the dungeon. What should I do?”

“There’s nothing to worry about because it’s an expedition, but that’s how it is. Ilwol has become this strong.”

“Since we are in the mid-level C level… Should we say that Ilwol is almost at level A?”

“If he was Grade A, he wouldn’t have been able to get in? Since he got in, he must be at least the highest level of Grade B. Wow, this is the level we need to take Ilwol to.”

Everyone is looking at me with half concern and half surprise.

As I was scratching my chin, the ‘Wandering Boat’ lying in the distance came into view, and I headed towards it indifferently.

Although I was acting calmly, I felt an unknown distance from my colleagues, so it was an extremely awkward situation.

Moreover, if this happens, there is no guarantee that you will be able to enter this dungeon again.

Then, you have to challenge the dimensional passage that appears after the boss battle, and if you do that, the risk of losing your life increases significantly.

Originally, I planned to come back and challenge myself after I had grown a bit more, but in that case, the priority was to first dig a tunnel to another dimension.

Once you clear it once, you can take on the challenge next time without going through the vortex.

‘If you’re lucky, you might achieve success on your first try, but it probably won’t be easy.’

When I looked at those huge eyes, there was a high possibility that it was a monster on a different level from the dregs of chaos.

As I expected, he was a fragment of a ‘seeker’ who had been tainted by chaos, so my worries could not help but deepen.

Kirik-

When I brought the boat to land, my colleagues followed me as if they were fascinated.

Yeonhee is looking at the boat with blank eyes.

It is an expression that clearly shows that one is lost in complex thoughts.

But she didn’t stay mesmerized forever.

Yeonhee chanted a spell for a moment and then summoned the newly joined water spirit.

“Piv Piv!!”

– Oh my!! So cute!!

– Ugh! Is this cute creature a water spirit? Wow… So cute!!

– Ran is cute, but this kid has a different kind of cuteness…

– Cute… Cute… But Azura is the best.

(Hmph… That kind of spirit.)

‘…’

The people who were worried about me a little while ago had gone somewhere, and everyone was lost in Fibrin’s cuteness.

‘Fibrin’exposed its entire body except its tail above the river water, posed for a moment as if showing off its beautiful appearance, and then quickly sank back into the river water.

(The water is a little murky, but I don’t think it’s bad, master. However, I can see a lot of low-level creatures. Would the great master really have to pass through a place like this on such a crude boat ?)

Fibrin seemed to judge that this place was not suitable for Yeonhee.

Yeonhee smiled at Fibrin’s words and said that she was taking risks for her own growth.

Fibrin then showed a very shocked expression and then closed his mouth tightly, as if he had decided something.

‘Yes, please do your best to protect Yeonhee.’

As I spoke as if guessing his intentions, Fibrin turned his head and said.

(Apostle of Irmana- I pray you will teach me many things-)

‘Apostle…? No, I don’t go that far-‘

(Ah, I never thought a day like this would come. There are still apostles who have inherited a lot of Irmana’s power. I am so thrilled.)

‘No, I’m not an apostle or anything-‘

(Master! Please move this way.)

‘…’

It feels like the spirit is somehow trying to pretend not to hear me say that it is not an apostle. That’s probably what you want to believe.

An apostle.

I couldn’t even see his face properly.

Anyway, we set out to explore the dungeon again.

Although we came in two hours late, there were quite a few people who left at the same time as us.

‘…They’re spying.’

Of course, there were not only people who entered the dungeon for pure purposes.

I don’t know where they belong, but there were about three teams following us at a certain distance.

Other factions of the White Knight Guild, Hyun Woo-seok of the Ilseom Guild, Apex Guild, and Guardian Guild. In addition, there are even those who have a grudge against us.

If you think about it, there were many people who wanted to get our information. It could be an intelligence group that receives such requests.

‘You can watch whatever you want.’

There is no need to use core skills at this dungeon’s level of difficulty anyway.

“Ugh… There are people following us intentionally.”

A few minutes later, Arin also noticed what was being followed.

“They say they don’t feel any killing intent at all.”

“Is it sun and moon?”

“Yes.”

“It must be an intelligence group~ I guess they aren’t tired of it. I’ll leave them behind after a while.”

Noh Hayun gave a long yawn and told him not to worry.

‘Why do I get more worried when you tell me not to worry?’

Noh Hayun scratched the back of her head as if she realized the intention of my gaze

Well, it was only recently that I broke up with Kim Gun-seop of Ilseom, so any human being should know how to feel ashamed.

Saa-

A small boat that slides forward.

The chirping of a leisurely bird.

It took about 20 minutes to get to the place where the first battle took place, and even though we were being chased, our party had plenty of time.

I spent time practicing switching between fire armor and lightning armor while in hiding, while Yeonhee and her colleagues were mesmerized by the figure of ‘Fibrin’moving leisurely along the river.

“It’s cute…”

“I want to touch your ears just once.”

And Fibrin’s water-colored body grew redder as his colleagues praised him more and more.

Fibrin must have felt the need to show something in response to the positive response he received, so he slowed down and immediately released his power.

– Breathing time under water is doubled.

– Movement speed doubles in water.

– Damage received underwater is reduced by 20%.

──?!

Although it is not a buff that immediately affects those of us outside the water, we were able to quickly see the extent of Fibrin’s capabilities.

– Wow!

– Breathing time and movement speed double?

– Spirits are the best!!

Everyone was making a fuss even though he wasn’t receiving the effect, and Fibrin must have felt good about that reaction, so even the back of his head was dyed red.

Not long after, we were able to meet the charging turtle.

This time, they approached through the water without hesitation, but when the distance narrowed to about 30 meters, they suddenly stopped.

“Huh? Why did it stop?”

“The range is still not enough. Hey! Come on, you pigs!”

Even though Hayoon Noh provoked and shouted, the charging turtle instead changed direction and tried to run in the other direction.

“Uh oh?! Why, why are you doing that?”

‘…Could it be because of me? Because of the feeling of intimidation?’
