I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner

407 – Two Stars That Light the Way

The message that came to mind after catching the monster ‘Diva’.

The system sometimes tells stories related to monsters, equipment, or abilities, and ‘Diva”s message was like that.

It was clearly written that a monster called ‘Diva’ had arisen because of Merothena, who had escaped from the demon world.

(Merothena…Merothena…)

Azrael Ron repeated her name several times after hearing my story, but she couldn’t remember anything.

‘That guy had the nickname ‘the one who lives in the darkness’.’

When I spoke for the last time, Azura remembered something.

(Ah- I guess there were those bug-like people. They were always hiding in places I couldn’t see and watching… I guess I forgot because they were so insignificant. But why are they suddenly asking?)

‘I just happened to look at an old dungeon record…’

Sometimes, old records are discovered in the dungeon, and I secretly made that excuse.

After hearing my story, Azura unexpectedly became indignant and made a promise.

(That’s right. It’s also base to call them base things. If I regain my strength and return to the demon world later, I’ll make sure to dry up the seeds of those dirty things.)

‘Are you of that level in the demon world? Enough to control an entire race?’

I still had doubts about the abilities of Azrael Ron, who was sealed by Ham Eun-young’s grandmother and her colleagues.

Azraelon couldn’t really refute my questionable reaction and promised a later date.

(Ugh… I need to get my strength back quickly and show my dignity.)

Over a short period of time, I heard quite a few stories about this cat, and when I put them all together, it seemed clear that this cute guy had a pretty high position in the demon world.

However, Azura’s growth rate, which was limited by the seal, was much slower than mine, so I did not have high expectations, and I am trying to make room for her to play the role of protecting her colleagues like she does now.＜ Br﹥

‘Anyway, keep what you said. At least crack down on those who say they are Merothena or something, so that they cannot go over to where humans live.’

(I understand. I am a proud demon who always keeps what I say.)

When I thought about how amazing it was to look at a cat’s face and feel an expression of pride, a different message came to mind.

[Even if you walk a different path, the end will not be different…]

‘Hmm…? What does that mean?’

– Even Lenoxia, the god of oaths, cannot dare to intervene in the oath between ‘seekers’.

– Those who walk the path of the ‘King of the Immortals’ have accumulated the karma of a pledge with those who walk the path of the ‘King of Darkness’.

– Acquired the achievement [Two stars that light the way]!

‘Oh?! Is this an achievement?’

I hurriedly looked into the effects obtained from the achievements.

[Two stars that light the way]

– This amazing achievement that you get as a seeker and first pledge will be a great help when you are lost and wandering.

‘It seems there is no such thing as an ability that can be acquired right away. Still, it would definitely be helpful if the word ‘amazing’ were included.’

In fact, what surprised me was that it was confirmed that Azraelon was a ‘seeker’rather than his achievements.

As I looked at him again, Azraelon also took his gaze off the air and looked up at me. Did he get an achievement like me?

(Hmph, you little brat. Have you finally made your first pledge?)

‘··· I guess you’re not the first?’

(Kk… Of course. Well, thanks to you, I also got an achievement…)

The cat covered his mouth with his paw and giggled like a villain hiding in the dark.

It seems that he was quite satisfied with the achievements that he obtained through his pledge with me, which were different from what I had achieved.

As I quietly watched him, it seemed as if his rank had risen somehow.

‘It’s a pledge…’

Having achieved an achievement that I did not expect, I returned home with a slightly lighter heart, holding the recovered Yeonhee in my arms.

“Everything was recorded without leaving anything out, right?”

A middle-aged man and woman are having a conversation in a bar in an area commonly known as ‘Roctor’s Street’.

The man raised one corner of his mouth and answered the question asked by the woman who was carefully examining the materials she had been given.

“I am writing about what I have personally seen and experienced until today. If you have more up-to-date information than that, you can take one of my fingers.”

The man’s words contained a hint about the woman’s abilities, but she didn’t care much.

“A golem that is close to 7 meters tall and a Skeleton Knight with combat power far exceeding B-class… To be honest, it’s too foreign to think of just by looking at the data.”

I knew about Drake, who was said to be under Lee Yeon-hee’s control, from the guild members who had gone out to subdue the great monster. But the golem was truly something I had never heard of before.

“I don’t know if he evolved into a Skeleton Knight or what. He’s clearly a skeleton soldier nicknamed ‘Reaper’… But he’s a unique guy with a force that’s hard to approach for some reason. You should probably be more careful. . Of that guy than the Golem and Drake.”

And the combat power of the skeleton soldier, which had already become a hot topic among hunters, far exceeded expectations.

“That much?”

“Even though I am a C-level Jibakryeong, I have been rolling on this floor for 15 years. If you see it for yourself, you will know that I am on a different level from other guys.”

“Hmm… I’m in trouble.”

The woman stroked her chin for a moment and then nodded her head toward her man.

Then the man coolly left the place, and the woman paid the balance of the request to the man and then headed to the person who was the starting point of this request.

The large woman moved nimbly between buildings until she reached the roof of one, where Park Jin-gon, an executive of the White Knight Guild, was staring blankly at the cityscape.

“It must be difficult.”

Park Jin-gon, an A-level hunter known as a master of spearmanship, frowned at the first words of Hwang Ae-jeong, who had built trust by partying with him for a long time.

“Let’s take a look and talk first.”

Park Jin-gon, who read the material handed to her, nodded and put the material in her space.

“As long as you are selected as the guild representative, you will immediately start in the round of 16. If you win twice, you will advance to the round of 4.”

Kang Yeon-soo’s promise to give one of the A-level dungeons to any disciple of his line in the top 4 was still valid.

Among the A-class dungeons, Park Jin-gon’s goal was the ‘Pomegranate’ dungeon, where the highest level magic stone mines are still being discovered.

It is said that human greed is endless, but Park Jin-gon was a man who knew that he had to be satisfied at a certain level.

I have long since abandoned goals that are not possible, such as becoming the strongest hunter.

All he wanted was to become the owner of a dungeon that would bring him solid profits.

‘That dungeon alone can easily exceed 1 trillion won in annual net profit. Pomegranate Flower It would be nice to punch that bitch.’

Of course, profits had to be shared with the guild, but even taking that into account, it was a profitable business.

It may not be understandable that a hunter who is on the verge of reaching S rank would be obsessed with money, but in fact, the income gained from dungeon exploration declines significantly starting from B rank dungeons.

It would be a different story if you were lucky enough to find an artifact, but that is truly the realm of luck.

Considering that the probability of obtaining runes decreases significantly as you go to the highest level dungeon, and the monsters become stronger and hunting efficiency decreases, it is not particularly true that even the highest level hunters consistently receive profits comparable to those of a conglomerate.＜ Br﹥

In addition, the mental power depleted increases as you advance into higher-level dungeons, so once you clear a dungeon, the period of time you need to rest gradually increases.

So now that the balance of the dungeon is shaking, all A-level hunters are moving down to B-level dungeons.

‘I can’t run in the field forever and get covered in the intestines and excrement of fucking monsters.’

However, it was difficult to seize the opportunity that had come for a long time.

Although the number of disciples he has raised has already reached twenty, it is difficult to deal with even one of ‘Pomegranate Flower’s’ favorite disciples, ‘Hwa-ryeon’.

However, seeing Lee Yeon-hee, who joined Kang Yeon-soo’s line, grow at such a rate, it was inevitable that it would be a headache.

There is less than a week left until the guild representative selection match for the reduced guild competition.

“Can’t I just close my eyes just once?”

“Should we really use that method?”

“You never know when that bastard will act on his whim again. If you don’t want to leave the guild, you can’t miss this opportunity. If this goes on, we’ll just have to live by picking up the crumbs that fall. Don’t you want to flap your wings at least once?”

“······.”

“And we don’t know when Jo Gi-man will return. If we want to do something, now is our chance.”

Hwang Ae-jeong asked with a puzzled expression.

“Huh? Where are you going, CEO Cho? He was at work until today.”

“That bastard is fake. I only felt it today, but he must be an alter ego or something. He has a lot of unknown abilities.”

“Well, is that possible?”

“I’m sure. Pomegranate has already noticed and is preparing another trick. There’s no need for us to compete fairly, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Phew—send a note to the ‘goblin’ guy saying hello. I’ll receive the item.”

“···Okay. From now on, I’ll just ask for the best product.”

At Hwang Ae-jeong’s words, Park Jin-gon nodded her head slightly.

“Invest as much money as you want. This will be the biggest bet of your life.”

After making his decision, Park Jin-gon looked down at the city with a slightly relaxed expression.

“Tick, tick, tick.”

It has been three days since I repeated the routine of going through the B-level dungeon alone and Yeonhee going through the C-level dungeon with her colleagues.

Yeonhee and her colleagues, who had a hard time on the first day, continued to grow smoothly without any special events.

It is said that the group of ‘Roctors’ who were collecting information no longer appeared, and although Were Crocs occasionally appeared, they never appeared in time for the boss battle like they did on the first day.

Rather, I, who had finished the dungeon without difficulty on the first day, found myself in a slightly annoying situation.

To be precise, it was because of those who could threaten me, but I was dissatisfied with the lack of efficiency as I had to avoid them and gain experience.

The group of paladins I had fought against on the first day were following me persistently. Even the number of people increased by three.

“The sign definitely pointed here?!”

Mark.

This is the moment when what I was worried about was confirmed.

‘As expected, a mark was engraved on me. Damn Arena.’

“Search everywhere! It’s the guy with the artifact!”

It looks like the compensation has even gone up.

‘If you catch me, an artifact will drop? Did Arena say that?’

It was clear that ‘Arena’ was involved in being upgraded to ‘Artifact’ in the vague expectation that good rewards would be given.

But unlike the first day, they also had difficulties.

“God… Is it that we lack faith? Since you no longer give us revelations, where should we go…”

Fortunately, it seemed that ‘Arena’, the god of light who had tried to kill me using the Holy Knight, was no longer intervening.

However, I was worried that if I scolded them, I would get hit by the God of Light who came running out in a huff.

‘I need to remove this mark. Umm…’

A mark that ‘Arena’ clearly placed on me.

It seems to convey information to the paladins about roughly what direction I am in and how far away I am.

No matter how much I focused my senses, I couldn’t detect the mark, so it was quite uncomfortable.

It was so thick that it was quite a nuisance for someone who wanted to hunt.
