I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner

394 – Traces Left Behind

Wow-

As soon as I arrived at the cave, I pushed the floor with my foot to apply the brakes and quickly looked around.

No matter how wise the Lizardman’s words were, I couldn’t trust him as he was chasing me now, drooling.

‘I don’t think there’s any trap…’

After examining it with my senses, there was nothing suspicious.

The cave was filled with pillars made of numerous stone pillars, and there was no device in sight that could attack it.

‘What, it’s just an ordinary cave?’

Tuk Tuk-

Try lightly tapping on the pillar.

It seemed strong enough to break if I hit it with intention, and it was huge enough to cover my body.

How long did it take for the stone column to become this thick?

‘Did you mean to use the terrain? I don’t know.’

It wasn’t long before the thoughts stopped.

Kuung-

This is because the Lizard Man, whose body was red-hot, pushed his body into the cave.

– [Inconsistent Rage] Is activated.

– Damage dealt to [Chaotic Seeker Fragments] Increases by 3.5 times.

‘3.5 times? Hyun Woo-seok had 3x the number, does that make sense?’

Hyun Woo-seok is a talent who is evaluated as having surpassed the mid-level level even in Class A.

So at least that monster is close to the highest level in A class…

Although ‘strength’ does not mean only combat power, it was a message that inevitably caused tension.

“Chuhrrrr!!”

The terrible sound it made filled the cave as if it were tearing it apart.

‘Now you’re speaking in a familiar voice. Ugh?!’

Chaaeaeang!!

The guy rushed at me without hesitation.

I activated [Chain of Flame] And at the same time raised my great sword to the side and barely managed to block the monster’s charge.

Grumbling─

In addition to the energy of the flame, a rope that transformed the form of flame was wrapped around the guy’s body indiscriminately.

Its body his bursts into flames and an acrid scent rises.

“Krrrrww-cqurrrrww.

‘Is it not enough?’

Even though he was clearly restrained, he did not lose his composure.

Woowoowoouk─

Then the guy flicked his elbows from side to side, and in one fell swoop, he released the restraints and threw them away.

‘Damn… You can solve this so easily? The power of my skills has increased so much, let’s solve this!’

Terup-

He was freed from his restraints, but he lost his balance for a moment because I was pushing him with my sword.

When I saw the guy holding the greatsword between his teeth and walking away, I threw the greatsword into subspace.

Then he pulled my arm to keep from falling, and we unintentionally got into a power struggle with our palms touching each other.

‘I don’t think the difference in strength is as big as I thought… ‘

If you think about the feeling of stability when we first met, it was because his strength was insufficient compared to the speed at which he chased after me.

‘Surely, they are watching?’

It was to the point where I had that thought.

The guy swung his thick, massive tail, and I responded by pulling out his tail with [Poisonous barbs].

Wow! Clumping-

The two thick tails collide loudly and then curl up and twist each other as if they are going to kill each other.

A brief standoff ensued, but dozens of bone spikes were released from the body and stabbed into the guy’s torso.

Boom boom!

‘Crazy… What kind of shell is this hard? No, this isn’t skin. Is there some sort of invisible armor?’

He was clearly wearing protective gear, as if he was wearing transparent armor.

Not long after changing jobs, I felt sick of the wall that appeared in front of me.

“Kruhhh-“

The corner of his mouth rises in a sinister way.

‘What are you laughing at!’

A tense battle of power.

Although we were using all of our body parts to attack each other, I still had many additional weapons to draw out.

I showed off all my skills while competing.

I fired [Thunderhorn], Which was sure to be particularly effective, but the guy didn’t give up his fight with me even though his body his was being burned by the lightning.

‘Please stay away… You leech-‘

It seemed like he was enjoying it as he calmly accepted the attack and flicked his tongue.

‘Damn…!’

Finally, he transforms into a fighting form wearing flame armor and looks at the guy’s face.

At the same time, [Skull Bomb] And [Special Strong Acid] Were also spit out.

Fuuuuu! Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!!

“Keuek?! Kweek!!”

As flames suddenly erupted in his face and a huge explosion occurred, the Lizardman started and widened the distance behind him.

No matter how much of a guy he is, he can’t help but be surprised by an attack that appears without even a hint.

The flames disappeared shortly after, but part of the guy’s face was melting due to the strong acid.

‘It seems like it’s doing more damage than you think? [Inconsistent Rage] Is very effective. Did you lose about 25% of your health, including 7% damage from the poison rune?’

When I thought about the number of skills I used during the strength contest, I thought it was only 25%.

Even the green energy was flowing from its body and the damage was being repaired quickly.

‘If I could fire a bone dagger straight from subspace, I might have been able to pile up a few marks.’

If you awaken your telekinesis, such an attack may be possible.

Of course, the same goes for skull bombs.

‘To cause great damage, you have to explode it from the inside. Like the dregs of chaos.’

In the end, it seems that only [Fire Explosion], In which black flames explode from within, can cause meaningful damage.

I used [Thunderhorn] And [Chain of Flame], Which are most compatible with Lizardmen, and put pressure on him.

Although it did not cause any damage, it had the effect of momentarily paralyzing the body.

However, it was difficult to see an opportunity to mark with [Flame Slash].

This is because the resistance was so high that I was quickly released from paralysis.

Gurgling- Kwazizig-

As the guy received the lightning massage, his stamina was lost little by little.

Still, it was positive that my attack power exceeded his stamina regeneration

The Lizardman didn’t move as fast as when he first chased me, so I think I could subdue him like this if I give him enough time.

If given about a hundred years.

‘It’s better than I thought except that it doesn’t cause any damage. That makes me feel even more uncomfortable. That kid has something, this.’

Just when I thought that, he disappeared from sight with a faint smile.

─?!

It literally disappeared from the realm of the senses.

As if using [Blink].

Seogeo-eok──!

‘Huh…?’

Suddenly it turned upside down and my vision rotated 360 degrees.

Tuuk-

The Lizard Man lifts my torso from a distance and dances with his arms as if he were controlling a puppet.

It was clearly an act of mocking me.

‘······ The head his was cut off. What on earth was that? Is it a skill? It’s not… There’s no sign of that at all-‘

“Krullahahahahaha!!”

The Lizardman picked up my torso and moved through the cave, bouncing like a spring.

‘Wow…’

Even though it was the person who had just harmed me, I was inwardly amazed at that surprising movement.

I couldn’t understand how a living thing could move like that.

It was a monster in the truest sense of the word.

In his hand, there was even a translucent, half-moon shaped weapon about 30cm long.

‘Is that… Invisible armor wrapped around your body?’

This is equipment that can be converted into a weapon. How would I know in advance?

‘… That bastard was hiding his strength his his his.’

Crazy movements that far exceeded my reaction speed and equipment with ridiculous performance.

Only then did I understand what the Lizardman said when he was in his right mind.

“Luring you there will be the only way for you to beat me. Of course, this time, the order is wrong.”

‘The order… I see.’

And after thinking about it carefully, I realized what the number 58 meant.

’58 is the number of characteristics and skills I have. He could look into other people’s abilities.’

And using this cave was nothing else.

‘The idea was to do the work here in advance and lure them in.’

If I completely pollute the inside of the cave with [Contaminated Breath] And make it completely my space, I will definitely be able to create an advantageous development.

But that wasn’t enough.

Would that Lizardman enter such a space in the first place?

Although that guy acted rough, he wasn’t stupid.

‘Even if I’m not in a good state of mind, hmm… I can’t be sure.’

But this is what the Lizardman himself said, so it was worth a try.

‘Everything else aside, the difference in abilities is huge. Too fast. There seems to be a limit to controlling movement while restraining…’

Even when my head was cut off and lying around on the floor, I didn’t stop thinking.

However, the crazy Lizardman must have lost interest in my torso, threw it far away, and leisurely approached me.

“Kruhhh-“

‘We’ll see.’

It was an unpleasant experience, having your head trampled on by a huge foot and dying, but it wasn’t much like having your eyes pierced by Jo Ki-man.

‘Next time, definitely…’

Flutter──!

The skull was shattered and the core was completely shattered.

And soon darkness came.

A sense of loss and futility that I haven’t felt in a long time.

– Ilwol, the magic swordsman of Black Flame, has been broken.

– The attribute [94 lives] Is activated.

“Kruhhh-“

The core of Sun and Moon shattered, and the strong presence that had been emitting disappeared in an instant.

“Chuk chuk-“

The Lizardman, called the seeker’s fragment, somehow felt hollow.

He watched silently as the man’s shattered armor turned into smoke and dispersed, and even his bones weathered away and disappeared.

The smoke rose like a haze and gathered in the air.

The eyes of the Lizardman who was staring blankly at that flashed.

“Kruk?!”

– [Traces of Existence] Is activated.

– A ‘trace’ containing the possibility of Ilwol, the magic swordsman of Black Flame, blooms.

“Chullarak!!”

An enemy thought to be dead has come back to life.

“Kruk?”

No, the energy I felt was completely different. It’s definitely a different being from him.

Lizardman felt excited for some reason.

It was a toy that became more interesting the more I looked at it.

The smoke became clouds, and the clouds began to materialize and take shape.

Gurgling——!

A small bolt of lightning strikes from within the dark clouds.

The Lizardman once again took out a weapon that resembled the moon that had been with him for some time.

However, it was just a matter of habit, like breathing, and I had a light heart to just take a look.

Lightning struck the ground, and flames soared to the ceiling of the cave.

The energy of fire and lightning swirled, forming a dust cloud, and at the same time, the silhouette that had been glimpsed within it disappeared from sight.

Pipit─!

“Krrr?!”

Something sharp passed by the Lizardman’s hand. I instinctively avoided it, but I didn’t know what happened.

The Lizardman looked at his half-cut, shaky finger

The cross section was very smooth.

It was a wound made with a well-honed blade

“Cruooooo!!”

The Lizard Man finally understood the situation and activated all his abilities.

Then, a small being that appeared to be a human skeleton was detected quickly crawling to the ceiling of the cave.

Slurring-

The Lizardman’s half-cut off finger quickly regenerated, but he could not understand this situation at all.

How could a skeleton summoned by a being much weaker than himself be fast and powerful enough to cut off his own finger?

The skeleton that was moving along the ceiling began to fall as soon as it reached the head of the Lizardman.

Although he was fast, he lacked strength.

The strategy to compensate for the lack of strength was to jump from the sky.

It was definitely different from the guy I fought earlier.

Unlike the previous guy who was cautious, he was bold and straightforward.
