I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner

409 – Priorities

‘Ah… Are they going to block the entrance now?’

As many as fifteen Holy Knights were standing in front of the stairs leading to the basement and having a conversation.

Hunters with paladin characteristics are not that rare, but seeing them gathered in a group like that was a rare sight, so other hunters were looking at them as if they were curious.

Considering that we’ve already come this far, it looks like we entered the dungeon quite early.

If you become a paladin, you might lose sleep.

‘If they see me trying to go down to the basement, they will make a fuss all day today to catch me.’

I was already fed up and wondered whether I should rush through the stairs before they noticed me or come back later.

– I came running at dawn, but I think I’d be a little sad if that monster wasn’t there.

But what one of them said made it difficult for me to pass by.

‘Monster? Are you talking about me?’

For two days, most of the names they called me were things like damn orc or damned orc, so I felt strange.

– The net may seem too small to capture a large fish measuring 5-6 meters.

– If you infuse magical power, it will increase a little more, so don’t worry.

-Are you serious?

– I haven’t used it myself, but since my seniors did, I decided to trust it and use it.

‘A 5-meter-tall figure… Really?’

I did not hope, but as I listened closely to the conversation, my ominous premonition came true.

– You might as well hope that monster doesn’t exist. If what the guide says is right.

– Hey, no matter how messed up the dungeon is these days, it won’t be a monster that we can’t handle. Are you saying you can’t even move properly? Maybe it will end with a one-sided attack.

– That could be possible. However, if he is too weak, it will be difficult. Because I even brought along seniors who were wandering around the ogre dungeon.

– Juniors. Let’s leave quickly. East-northeast direction?

– Yes, that’s right.

– Okay, then let’s go see the handsome face.

‘I think it’s right to go in the east-northeast direction to catch the chimera. Did you follow me to where I was yesterday and find me?’

I wanted to tell them not to cross that river, but seeing as they had formed a party of 15 people and even brought a magic net with them, it seemed like they weren’t letting their guard down.

‘Well… If this happens, the plan will be revised. It won’t be enough to test Meteor.’

If you fight him alone, there is a high probability that he will be defeated or end up committing suicide, but if you fight him with the Paladins, it will be a different story.

It was just that their gods, who were against me, were annoying.

‘Damn Arena. Please keep your mouth shut.’

I followed them carefully, with such a small wind.

30 minutes have passed since I came down to the basement.

Perhaps because the Paladins were preoccupied with Chimera 2, they were unable to detect me yet.

‘It would be better if we widened the distance.’

Just yesterday, I was separated from the Paladins by the same distance as Chimera 2, and looked closely at their faces, which were emitting a soft golden light.

‘Huh… It’s good as expected. There is no power like this against Orcs.’

The full set of armor was reassuring just to look at, and the shield and weapons filled with divine power seemed enough to push away any opponent.

In particular, being able to wage effective group warfare against humanoid monsters such as orcs was a great weapon.

Yesterday, I asked Yeonhee to find out their information, and found out that the name of the guild that the Holy Knights belonged to was ‘Arena’, and unusually, it was an organization based in the United States.

So, they are hunters belonging to the Korean branch of the American ‘Arena’ guild.

Now that exchanges with other countries are not smooth, it was not easy to understand the need to open branches of the guild in other countries.

They are even one of the most powerful groups in the United States, so do they have other plans?

As the number of believers increased, like the goblin’s racial characteristics, they were actively expanding their power, as if there were some kind of buff, so it was a place that would need to be looked into later when the opportunity arises.

‘Seeing as they are well stocked with expensive stealth detection items, it looks like they have a lot of support. But… Will it be okay against him? I don’t know.’

Chimera 2 is an evolved form of ‘Tooth’, so it will definitely be able to use [Stealth].

Even if I can detect stealth with equipment or items, I can’t react as quickly as my senses, so that part took me a bit.

Of course, if my first move works, I don’t have to worry about hiding or anything, but I always have to keep plans B and C in mind.

‘If a variable arises, won’t Arena stop it again? It’s at the level of a person throwing a fit just to catch me, but of course a chimera stronger than me…’

It would be absurd for me if Arena did not provide help to the paladins dealing with the Chimera. It would mean that they are more hostile towards me than that terrible Chimera 2.

Flutter-!

Kwaang-!

The paladins marched forward, slaughtering the monsters they encountered without hesitation.

‘I have to react at this distance… Has my mark disappeared?’

What had been clinging to me like a leech until yesterday was as if they were lying, and they were moving about so confidently that that expectation slowly bloomed.

But.

“Damn Orc, are you following us?”

“You mean the goal of the quest that your juniors were talking about?”

“Yes, he is an unusual orc who uses stealth, but he is presumed to be a magic swordsman and is a very troublesome guy.”

“The Orc Demon Swordsman… Since he is not being chased, is he chasing us this time? Does this mean we are also given the mark?”

“Maybe so…”

“You’ve fought once, so you know you can’t defeat us.”

“I don’t know if he’s just trying to play a trick on us. The bitter sneer he made when he was grabbed by the giant palm and disappeared will never leave my mind.”

“A giant palm… A divine being that protects orcs… I heard that the number of orcs in high-level dungeons these days is increasing while shouting ‘For Rashida’. That may be the name of the god they serve.”

‘Por Rashida… Has it already happened like that?’

As far as I know, ‘Por’ refers to the Orc army commander who will invade our world in the future. I don’t know what Rashida means, but it’s probably a cry praising Por or asking for revenge.

What is certain is that the orcs in the upper dungeons connected to our world are increasingly being subordinated to an orc named ‘Por’.

‘The Orc army invading us may have been our karma…’

If you think about it, except for the first wave, we have nothing to say even if we are the ones invading the Orcs’ homeland first.

‘Anyway, it’s much faster than my previous life. ‘Wouldn’t this make me impatient?’

Many thoughts made my head dizzy, but chasing the paladins went smoothly.

Rather, I narrowed the distance between them little by little.

The fact that they don’t react even though they are aware of me means that they are going to catch the chimera first, and that means they can get a little closer.

A few hours later, the Paladins finally reached the location of Chimera 2.

Now that I had approached the paladins at a distance of 200 meters, I overheard their conversation with [A good listening ear] As I had done so far.

“Definitely… The guide was right.”

“Yes, I heard he was a skilled guide. Unfortunately, he didn’t come with us today.”

“When we suggested to the guide that we should go together, he instead tried to stop us.”

“It’s worth it. To be honest, I’m a little worried right now? I didn’t know it would be that bad. It’s gone beyond the range I calculated based on the guide’s opinion.”

“Is it that much?”

“If you get a little closer, your junior will understand what I’m saying.”

Among the fifteen paladins, five are close to level A.

The other ten weren’t much different from the guys I faced.

– Crruuuuu…

Since it was much closer than yesterday, Chimera 2 was clearly visible.

The man’s tremendous energy was so violent that even the believers of light trembled with fear.

“This, this…”

“It’s a real monster. It hasn’t turned its head towards us yet.”

“You’re just pretending not to know. We can sense it, so there’s no way that monster doesn’t know.”

“He was just standing there silently. Could he be waiting for something?”

“I’m sure… No more guys like that will show up, right?”

‘Sounds unlucky…’

The paladins gradually slowed down and stopped as soon as they approached 100 meters.

“······.”

“Whoa-“

“Ah, let’s go forward…”

“Everyone, calm down. God is watching.”

The Paladin party spread their formation across two rows and put pressure on the monster. And dazzling light gradually flowed from their slightly stiff bodies.

“Oh oh… It’s Arena…”

“Well, isn’t what I said right, senior!”

“Wow, this is really something I would be very happy about if I reported it to headquarters.”

I don’t know if it’s because I came close or because of the chimera.

It was clear that ‘Arena’ was giving them strength.

‘This is what I’ve been waiting for. I’ll make a good save with Meteor, so let’s catch it.’

It is judged that we are slightly ahead in terms of current power.

However, this skill to be activated now will show destructive power to the point where power dynamics can be ignored.

I floated in the air to the left of the direction they were going and gently closed my mind’s eye.

[Meteor]

Gooooo──

The moment I activated the skill, pitch black darkness came.

Soon I could feel my mind being sucked into another unknown space.

‘Ugh…! The head…!’

My head felt like it was going to explode for a while.

Soon, the realm of nothingness and emptiness spread endlessly, and at some point, the mental body was moved to an unknown space where countless small piles of stones were floating around.

Then, as my field of view gradually narrowed, I got close enough to realize that what I thought was a pile of small stones was a huge rock the size of a house.

Teeing─

Something like a spark flew out from the stone.

Teating-

A ‘stone with magical power’ that plays a strange melody as if it is talking to me, a creature I have never seen before.

‘······.’

Soon, tens of thousands of stones around me communicated to me in the same way.

Titty teating- teating!

‘······ Do you want to be free?’

That’s how the stone’s voice sounded to me.

I needed this stone anyway, so there was no reason to refuse their request.

Huuuuuk──

The mental body that had left for a while returned to the main body, and the enormous magical energy that was swirling around my body had already disappeared somewhere.

As I moved my gaze along the tail of the disappeared magical power, a dimensional crack was forming high in the sky, and a huge stone began to appear through the crack.

Although the size was much smaller than what was seen when the Cerebral Body was moved, it was still large enough that each stone could crush the Chimera in one fell swoop.

Grumbling──

Soon, the ‘magical stone’ was engulfed in red-hot flames and began to hit the Chimera at a much faster speed than I could fly.

The number is a shopping twenty.

Twenty burning rock chunks suddenly revealed their presence in the sky, casting a dazzling light over the area as if a small sun had been cast.

“Ah…”

“Um, what is that… ?!”

“Oh my god…!”

“The power of God guides us…”

The fifteen holy knights opened their mouths wide when they saw the light, dropped the weapons they were holding on the ground, and just busily followed the falling meteorite with their eyes.

“Keek?!”

And the Chimera, who noticed the existence of [Meteo] Before the Paladins, left the position he was guarding and hurriedly threw himself.

But.

Kkwagwagwagwagwagwagwang──!!

With a terrible explosion that was enough to turn the entire area upside down, the huge stone exploded, cruelly crushing the space where it was. Soon the boy’s painful screams were clearly heard.

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

The meteorite that was falling indiscriminately towards him caused a secondary explosion when it hit the ground, and the chimera’s screams rang out even more sharply.

– Kiyaa!!

‘Done. It definitely worked!’

Jiyiing─

Along with the joy of successfully performing the highest-level magic without difficulty, a feeling of helplessness I had never felt before dragged me down to the ground.

Boom!

After floating tens of meters in the air, I fell to the ground and was unable to get up easily.

‘Ugh… Damn. Even if the minimum conditions were met, it was still too much.’

In some ways, it was an understandable reaction since it was an ability that did not suit my type.

However, I couldn’t just lie down like an idiot, so I equipped the ‘Rune of Wealth’ to float my body in the air and flew high into the sky again using [High-Speed Flight].
