I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner

427 – The Craftsman Cuts the Bones

“Wow – there’s a lot of stuff here.”

Arin must have thought that the quality of the weapons displayed for promotional purposes was quite good and she had already started shopping.

The blacksmith, who was looking at Arin with satisfaction, received the item from an employee carrying a long wooden box and handed it to me directly.

“You’ve waited a long time! This is the great sword you requested last time.”

The ostensible purpose of today is to receive this great sword that I requested last time.

The weapon the blacksmith handed over this time was packaged in a box made of much more luxurious material than the last time.

‘At that time, I gave you the Giant Skull’s Advanced Magic Stone and Cardinite.’

I take out the great sword I am currently using from subspace.

—-

Unknown Cardinite Greatsword

– This is the work of a blacksmith who has not yet achieved fame. The combination of rare materials and budding talent resulted in a greatsword that boasts much higher performance compared to its magic stone grade.

– Attack power: 61

– Durability: 242/1000

– Number of enhancements: 1/2

—-

‘Has the durability restored with reinforcement stones already been reduced this much?’

Actually, I killed quite a few monsters when I was soloing in a B-class dungeon.

‘No, wait a minute… Now that I think about it, I killed so many people, but the fact that my level only went up by 1 is really creepy.’

I was still maintaining the +20% experience buff I acquired while changing jobs, but I was dissatisfied with the level-up threshold rising too rapidly.

“Hmm?! Now, wait a minute. Can you show me that great sword?”

But when the blacksmith saw the great sword I took out, he was very surprised and asked me to show him the sword.

“Ilwol, are you okay?”

Nod-

Without thinking much, I handed over the greatsword coated with reinforcing stones. The blacksmith took a long look at the greatsword, then his eyes lit up and he asked.

“No… Who on earth touched my work? I’ve never even heard of such skill…”

‘Huh? All I did was feed him a cheap, low-grade reinforcement stone.’

Well, since it was an item that he had never been seen before, the blacksmith might have been surprised.

Yeonhee and I exchanged glances and then shook our heads.

Yeonhee was silent in response to the question, and the blacksmith looked at Yeonhee pitifully, as if he couldn’t bear it out of curiosity.

‘There are a lot of things that need to be hidden. We’re not even a secret organization.’

If this were part of a trustworthy force, it would be a different story. That was always disappointing.

I left the blacksmith who was obsessed with the great sword and took out the great sword I had entrusted to him from the box.

—-

Gray Artisan’s Cardinite Greatsword

– This is the work of a blacksmith who is just gaining fame. The combination of rare materials and blossoming talent resulted in a greatsword boasting high performance.

– Attack power: 103

– Durability: 1200/1200

—-

‘Wow – that’s awesome.’

Not only did the attack power increase significantly, but durability also increased by 200.

Although the appearance was no different, the feeling of grip in the hand was improved incomparably.

“Giggles – what do you think? The last time I came here, I saw you swinging a sword and I changed the settings slightly.”

‘You can make adjustments just by looking at that…?’

The explanation of the system of blossoming talent seems to be correct.

“Rather than that, please tell me who on earth refined my work like this-“

Yeonhee said again that she could not tell her who the blacksmith who strengthened the great sword was, and that she would tell her later after she had built up some trust.

“Okay… Trust me… Let’s try harder.”

We gave the blacksmith hundreds of magic stones from monsters we had recently caught and asked him to produce shields and armor.

“Are you not giving me cardinite this time?”

“This time, just make it. The summons grow quickly, so I have to change them often, so I’ll use them later when I get a really high-level magic stone.”

“Well, that’s right.”

“Um, how much does this cost?”

“Oh, it’s been a long time since I saw the rabbit beastman. Let’s see the price-“

Arin, who was shopping, ended up purchasing one of her daggers.

“The durability is very high.”

“I like everything here.”

‘Oh, I should leave that to you too.’

I took out another great sword from subspace.

A great sword made of crudely polished bone.

The first great sword I made was one that I made in the wee hours of the morning, leaving only the skeleton behind and adding the newly grown bones.

Since [Ferocious Claws] Is applied when attacking with the body, it would be appropriate to use a bone sword as the weapon now.

I will use the great sword I received from the blacksmith for a while, and in the end, the final weapon will be a sword made from my bones.

“······ Well, what is that?”

“This is a great sword made from the bones of my summons. It’s a bit rough, so it feels more like a carving rather than a cutting… Could you please polish this?”

“Let’s take a look.”

The blacksmith took my bone sword and touched it for a while, looked at it, and even licked it.

“Amazing… Is this bone? I’d believe it to be a newly discovered mineral. Hmm… I can’t think of any information yet, but if I reprocess it, there might be other options.”

“Wow- really?”

“But I think this alone won’t be enough-“

As soon as the blacksmith finished speaking, the ‘malignant crystal’ was taken out from subspace.

“Hi! What kind of hideous thing?! What is that?”

The blacksmith jumped backwards in surprise.

“This is a crystal stained with malice… It’s an item we received by chance. Can we melt it into a sword?”

Because I explained it to Yeonhee in advance, she continued the conversation without any hesitation.

“Ugh… This… Needs [Purification].”

“Jeonghwa? Hmm…”

As expected, it seems that it can only be used if the malicious intent is removed.

‘Should I ask Laney for a favor?’

First, I put the crystal stained with malice back into subspace and took out the ‘ancient rare crystal’ that I had recently received.

—-

Ancient Rare Crystals

– It has the power to strongly attract and store mana in the atmosphere.

– When fused with a dwarf’s work, magic power +200

—-

“Oooh- is this?!”

The blacksmith who hurried over looked at the crystal carefully and nodded his head sharply.

“It’s enough. I think the quality of the crystal is a bit excessive compared to the quality of the bone. If I just sell this, wouldn’t I get 1 billion won? Do you really mind if I melt it into a sword?”

“Yes, please do so.”

It’s information we already know, but we thought we’d have to try things at least once to get a feel for it, so we boldly went for it.

And there are a few more crystals.

“I think I’ll need some additional cardinite. However, to make it properly, I need to increase the value of the sword…”

“Silwol?”

Nod-

When I broke off a large piece of cardinite and handed it to him, the blacksmith was so happy that he stamped his feet.

“Skeleton soldiers aren’t particularly good at magic! Haha!”

The blacksmith hugged Cardinite with clear eyes like a child and smiled brightly.

‘I guess I should go to the upper dungeon and get some more.’

There is still enough cardinite, but the more ingredients the better.

After receiving a warm greeting from a blacksmith whose name I didn’t know, we finally finished our business at the blacksmith shop and had a quick coffee break at a nearby cafe.

Arin seemed to really like the new dagger and was busy looking at it with her mouth shut.

‘Hmm… It’s a dagger… Should I give you a gift later? Information collection may rise to 100%.’

Now that my bone sculpting skill has increased significantly, it seemed possible to match my colleagues’ equipment.

Of course, I have to get help from a blacksmith to improve the level of completion.

“But what are you going to do tomorrow? Do you do it without Sun and Moon as planned?”

“Yes, we plan to do it without it. This time, we will go up to level 78. We will go up by our own strength.”

“It’s going to take a while. And there’s a guild competition in a few days, right?”

“Yes, I think I’ll have to miss two days because of that.”

Still, there wasn’t much concern about my absence, perhaps because it was something I had tried once.

‘Starting tomorrow, I will explore alone again… But I can’t go anywhere else.’

Two days ago, the day I signed the membership contract.

On the way home, Yeonhee and I did an experiment.

After I entered the dungeon first, Yeonhee extended the distance to over 10km.

As a result, the summoning was canceled regardless of my will and I returned to the dark space.

I was able to enter Wiesel’s dungeon and the ‘Living Statue of Strength’ dungeon at the same time because they were within the range of my senses, but it was difficult to enter other B-class dungeons.

This is a concern for me as I have to go through various dungeons, defeat new monsters, and collect abilities.

‘Sweet… I’ll give it a try.’

It is a well-known fact that small gates are opened periodically within dungeons these days.

So what happens if you throw yourself into the gate created by the monsters that appear? Won’t we be transported to a dungeon or another world where monsters appeared?

‘It’s a risk, but it’s probably worth a try.’

Tiring-

“Huh? Huh? It’s Jinhyuk.”

While I was lost in thought, I received a phone call from Cha Jin-hyuk.

‘Long time no see. Jinhyuk Cha.’

“Yes, yes. It’s been a while, Mr. Jinhyuk. Ah, that’s right. But since your body is fully healed, you can do such activities… Yes.”

After a brief conversation for about 5 minutes, Yeonhee hung up and informed Cha Jinhyuk of his current status.

“I heard you created a guild?”

“Just…?”

Cha Jin-hyuk is said to have reached a major turning point as his body recovered.

I thought he was an unusual talent ever since he got seriously injured while trying to protect Yeonhee, but I could guess how much he has grown by saying that he felt like he had come out of his shell.

He said that he was now able to go through ‘Lucracota’, the lowest level dungeon of Class B, by himself, and was gradually conquering higher level dungeons with the newly joined party.

And, luckily, the new hunters he met treated him with the most unprejudiced prejudice among the people he had ever met, and coincidentally, they suggested establishing a guild and he ended up working as a co-representative.

‘Is the story suddenly going that way? It’s a direction I never expected.’

The guy who called Yeonhee ‘angel’ never came to visit her and grew up steadily. He even became a guild founder.

‘Hmm… I feel like I heard that a friend I knew just across the street is doing well.’

“Cha Jin-hyuk, Cha Jin-hyuk… Ah, I looked it up and found that he is a very famous hunter in that area these days. He deals with gravity… How strong is a supporter to be able to go through a B-class dungeon by himself?”

Joo-a, who doesn’t know Cha Jin-hyuk well, showed interest in the man mentioned by Yeon-hee while searching.

This is probably because it is rare for someone else’s story to come out of Yeonhee’s mouth.

Anyway, when Cha Jin-hyuk grows up, Yeon-hee will receive a summons reward, so I was rooting for her from afar.

Although they briefly wandered off to somewhere else, Yeonhee and her colleagues continued the meeting for a long time in preparation for tomorrow.

I didn’t think there was much point in staying here, so I asked Yeonhee to cancel the summons and entered the dark space.

*

‘Phew – I think about this every time I come, but I feel most at ease here.’

I didn’t know if it was because it was a space I had been in for a long time, or because the pitch-black space suited my personality.

I moved straight to Laney, and the first thing that caught my eye was a sculpture floating in the air with a bright light.

(Ugh…What is that dirty thing again?)

Laney, who was trying to get praise from me for bringing a piece of the cleansed elixir of life, was surprised when she saw the ‘malignant crystal’ I brought and asked.

‘This? It’s a new request.’

Laney twisted the branches and rejected the reality of having to clean up again.

‘You purified it much faster than that? As expected, Laney is an amazing tree.’

However, when I praised her and patted her head a few times, Laney took a dignified stance and showed off her abilities.

(This can be done quickly!! Just leave it to me!)

‘Yes, please. Today, you can embrace me and consume my magic power.”

(Wow! Is this true? Do you want to eat it right away? Then.)

Rainie grew so big that she immediately wrapped her branches around me and even lifted me off the ground a little.

(Yum yum- ah-ah- of course, this taste… Ecstatic…)

I took a look at the ‘elixir of life fragment’ that supplied magical power and was purified by Lainey.

—-

Elixir of Life Fragment 1/10

– You can obtain ‘Elixir of Life’ by collecting 10 ‘Elixir of Life Pieces’.

—-

‘Hmm. We need nine more.’

Fragments obtained by defeating those related to the Evolution Tree.

I haven’t been able to collect it for a while because they haven’t been around, but for me, it’s an important item that I can look forward to in the future.
