I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner

428 – Lord of the Desert

‘Master?’

(- Huh? Don’t you know? We don’t get any notifications these days.)

‘I wonder if he’s not coming today again.’

Because he will help me grow is great, he will show himself again when the time comes.

As I took a seat next to Lainey, I started practicing swordsmanship without fail.

This is because the goal is to create a 3 meter long sword on the floor using space cutting techniques.

I’m training hard, but since I lack talent, it’s essential for me to make time, so it will take quite a bit of time to reach the level suggested by the teacher.

Training, Irmana’s ritual, making bombs and daggers, and even making a dagger for Arin as a gift.

When I think about it, I was really a workaholic who only worked without resting.

* * *

The next day, I entered the ‘Living Statue of Strength’ dungeon again.

‘Unlucky from the beginning…’

Coincidentally, the paladins who had been following me tirelessly a few days ago followed me and entered the dungeon.

But they no longer showed interest in me. No, it would be correct to say that I am not aware of it.

The recovery was so good that the traces of being beaten by me were completely gone.

Since both the believers and ‘Arena’, who takes care of them, have lost the battle with me, I just hoped that they would remain quiet from now on.

‘Let’s go straight to the basement.’

Although I was only there for a few days, most of the places with small gates in this dungeon were underground, so I went downstairs.

On the way, I took some time to catch tasty fish like Big Boar and Hanja Ling and piled them up in subspace.

Then, I went down to the basement, widened my senses as much as possible, and waited for a few hours.

‘It’s here!’

Two minutes away at full speed, I felt a crack in space.

Seeek─

There was a small gate that had just opened where we flew quickly, and it gradually grew bigger until it was well over 3 meters away, and there wasn’t even a monster inside.

‘The gate that used to come out of people or not monsters spits out nothing…’

Although this is a first time experiencing this phenomenon, there is always a first time.

‘Umm…’

While I was thinking about it, I felt that the gate that had been widened was shrinking again.

‘Eight!’

I closed my eyes tightly and threw myself into it.

This is also a possible challenge because there are multiple lives.

Woooooung──

A feeling that was similar to but distinctly different from that of entering a dungeon first greeted me.

‘Please… Send me to another B-class dungeon!’

I expressed my will with a small wish, but a different message than expected emerged.

– This is a passage beyond the administrator’s control!

– Stamina continues to decrease!

– This is a passage outside the administrator’s authority!

– Stamina continues to decrease!

.

.

.

‘This···?! Aren’t you going to get crushed and die like this?’

The horrifying sensation continued as if something terrible and dark was randomly clawing me, cutting me into several pieces and compressing them into one, and before I knew it, I was pushed to the extreme where my physical strength fell below half.

Kwadangtang-!

‘Ahhh… Damn it.’

Just when I thought I was dead, I was barely able to escape to another space.

‘I feel like shit.’

It felt like I had entered the mouth of a gigantic being and was recognized as a dirty foreign object and spit it out, rather than coming out with my own power.

Anyway, the priority was to figure out where this place was.

Whiooooo──

‘Blood scent… Where does this blood smell come from?’

Just looking at the atmosphere, it resembled the other world I went to on my second job change quest.

In the endless, barren desert, two blue and red moons rise in the sky to welcome me.

Although the energy of a living being was not felt, the smell of blood carried by the wind nevertheless created extreme tension.

Suooooo──

‘Wait a minute… I think I’ve read about this environment somewhere. No way-‘

As soon as I could finish thinking, something started to quickly narrow the distance towards me from far away.

‘It’s so big… Was that really where that guy was?!’

A huge, golden monster with a dragon’s head and the shape of a turtle.

A large species that is not called a monster but is evaluated to be included in the list of monsters.

As soon as I detected him, I quickly tried to activate [Stealth], But for some reason the ability did not activate.

– One ability of the invader that escaped the administrator’s attention is blocked!

‘No, what kind of invader am I? I didn’t come because I wanted to!’

Actually, the monsters that entered the dungeon we were playing in didn’t seem to impose that much of a restriction. Could it be that the manager’s tendencies are different for each dungeon?

Anyway, it was time to make a choice.

That crazy monster’s sense of vibration is so sensitive that it goes beyond imagination, so the moment I entered the dungeon, it must have identified me from dozens of kilometers away and ran towards me.

So, activating [Assimilation of the Dark Illusion] Will not be of much help. Still, just in case, I activated my ability and blurred my presence.

‘It won’t work either.’

Since I have multiple lives, I can fight against quite a few opponents and gauge them, but that was absolutely impossible, so I ran away without even looking back.

I switched to [Combat type] With lightning armor and ran only looking ahead.

‘After all, it’s a dungeon with a dragon turtle!’

The ‘Sand Dragon Turtle’ is a large species with a body length of over 30 meters and is classified as one of the top monsters in Class A.

I was moved to a high-ranking A-level dungeon where he reigned.

I will take the risk. I promised myself, but this was too severe.

‘Fuck, no matter what, it’s too much to go to a place like this from the beginning!’

I took off and went into flight mode, but even so, I couldn’t outrun the Sand Dragon Turtle.

‘They’re chasing me while I’m moving at maximum speed? With that size? Does that make sense!’

Chuaah~!

Wow!

The sound of a bomb exploding could be heard behind me, and it was the sound made by the body submerging as it swam in the sandy sea.

And on the carapace of this thing, which was reminiscent of an armored car, various shapes writhing like strings stood out.

‘Of course you have those too!’

Insects that live as parasites on the back of the sand dragon turtle.

These are commonly referred to as ‘parasitic blood relatives’.

On the outside, it looks as if a person has been left to dry in the scorching sun for several days, but in reality, it possesses a powerful fighting power that is dedicated to the defense of places that cannot be seen by the Dragon Turtle.

You can think of each one as far surpassing Alpha Rakan’s combat power.

Those guys would sometimes gather and hang out, but I never wanted to get close.

Some people call them a degenerate version of a vampire because they live in the space between the dragon turtle’s shell as a nest and receive nutrients.

‘When the battle begins, I will fire a bow made from the blood of a dragon turtle. That bow also has considerable destructive power…’

If you are hit by their arrows, a certain amount of blood is taken away. Since they ignore your defense and take away blood at a certain rate, if you continue to allow attacks, you may fall into the status abnormality ‘fainting’.

Of course, I don’t have any blood to steal, but just receiving defense-ignoring damage is fatal.

‘Still, they’re fixed in one place, so there’s nothing to be afraid of as long as you don’t let your guard down.’

What I need to pay more attention to than that is the main body, the Dragon Turtle.

Wow ──!

‘Why is it so fast?!’

Even though it is flying at full speed, it is following me persistently, and has no intention of moving away, but rather is getting closer.

I wondered if he would be so full after eating something like me, but he didn’t get tired and kept following me, and now I can see him.

‘You can use blink to run away, but moving is limited to 500-600 meters. Then-‘

I boldly turned to the back, thinking that I had to face this situation at least once.

＂Kuwaa!!＂

‘aah?!’

But as soon as he turned his head, he came face to face with the head of a huge dragon turtle.

In the blink of an eye, its head grew tens of meters longer and swallowed me whole.

‘Too fast! What kind of difference in abilities is this much?’

In an instant, I was trapped in a dark iron cage.

‘Let’s see who will get it.’

Because it is such a huge creature, small spaces can be seen here and there between its closed teeth.

[Skull Bomb]

Summon all the bombs stored in subspace and set the time bomb function.

Afterwards, I was able to escape through the gap by activating [Weasel Walk] At the right time.

Whirly-

After barely getting out, I flew backwards again to avoid being caught by the guy.

＂Ssaa!!＂

＂Syuyaa!!＂

However, hundreds of parasitic relatives living on the turtle dragon’s back discovered me and fired arrows of blood all at once.

A humanoid monster that looks like a person was forced into a narrow gap.

For some reason, I felt an urge to pour Irmana water on my body due to an unpleasant feeling.

Puff Puff Puff!!

I repeatedly parried and evaded with the newly received greatsword.

Kkwagwagwagwagwagwang──!!

As the time bomb was triggered and the Dragon Turtle began to shake violently, he was able to take advantage of that moment to escape the parasitic kin’s attack radius.

‘I tried to avoid this…’

It is impossible to completely avoid hundreds of attacks.

For the first time in a long time, my stamina fell below 400.

Even if you avoid the Dragon Turtle’s line of sight, it doesn’t seem easy to get up close and land a powerful blow because of those damn parasites.

‘Unless I call him with five fire explosions, it’s beyond my power right now.’

I thought about seizing an opportunity by throwing a dagger, but the dagger’s trajectory changed along the line of ‘parasitic blood relative’ and did not cause any meaningful damage.

‘Ah…’

It possesses tremendous speed for its size, has powerful attacks, and has hundreds of parasites on its back for strong defense.

‘Eat this!’

I threw several huge fireballs to distract them and continued to fly up into the sky.

Thump-!

As I tried to climb up to a place where the attack couldn’t reach, I couldn’t help but be shocked to see the Sand Dragon Turtle swallowing and extinguishing the fireball I threw.

‘Crazy monster… Let’s see if you can eat this too.’

[Meteor]

As the spell was activated, the red-hot ‘stone containing magic’ tore through the space and began to hit the Dragon Turtle.

The highest level magic meteor into which I poured 60% of my magic power.

Burning stone.

Light so intense that you can’t open your eyes.

A burning heat rises as if the entire heated desert has been transported to a heat hell.

They seemed to have noticed something was wrong and quickly tried to leave the place.

I activated [Chain of Flame], Extended both fists forward, brought them together in the middle, and tied up the Dragon Turtle’s hind legs.

[──?!]

It was only for a moment, but the guy who couldn’t roll his hind legs was delayed, and was soon in danger of being hit by [Meteo]’S attack.

However, the parasitic relatives living on the dragon turtle’s back gathered together in groups of ten and began throwing their bodies towards the sky.

‘What?! Was it possible to escape from the turtle’s body?’

The sight of those who threw themselves while chanting unknown spells melting away and disappearing due to Meteor’s powerful energy gave me goosebumps.

‘Self-sacrifice spell…?!’

They tried to protect the Dragon Turtle even at the cost of their lives.

Nevertheless, [Meteor] Did not disappear, but instead touched the Dragon Turtle’s body and began to explode.

‘I became a lot weaker, but it was okay!!’

I watched the guy’s reaction carefully, but I couldn’t see where the parasitic blood relative on his back had gone. The huge dragon turtle stumbled greatly and fell on one leg.

The golden shell, which seemed like it would never break, was dented and melted in several places and burned, and smoke from the [Skull Bomb] Was still billowing from the Dragon Turtle’s head.

I think I lost at least 30% of my stamina, but I was still disappointed.

‘No matter how high-level the skill is, if the caster’s level drops, this is what happens.’

That’s true, but the Dragon Turtle’s defense power is greater than you can imagine.

‘As expected… Only the head is not in the shape of a dragon.’

– Kwaaooooo──!!

The monster, which had stumbled for a moment, stood up on the ground and roared.

The loud crying sound was unusual. It was clear that they were trying to do something, so I left without hesitation.

As I was running away frantically, I sensed a huge energy bursting out from behind me.

[Blinking]

─────

After moving hundreds of meters in one go, I looked back and sighed.

‘I almost got swept away. Phew…’

The magical cannon fired by the Dragon Turtle boasted such destructive power and range that it felt like ‘Geomryongi’s’ breath was child’s play.
