157 – Summoners are getting stronger
Aside from whether or not they will be useful, traits that increase speed and defense at the same time are rare, so it felt like a windfall in itself.
I think combining this talent with the Reckless Charge from Big Bore would be even better…
……
But nothing happened. Is it different from simple rushing and digging?
‘Isn’t that what I’m comfortable with? Sheesh…’
I licked my lips in regret and moved on again.
Thanks to our haste, we arrived earlier than expected at the spawning grounds just below the peak.
“Wow- so many harpies…”
“Ha Hang- isn’t it?”
“What are you flaunting?”
Arin spread her chest wide as if to look at it and made a playful expression.
That expression seemed to say that I was active in such a rough place.
I looked upward.
Hundreds of harpy eggs were tightly wrapped in a sticky gray thread like a spider’s web, and stretched from the edge of the cliff to the bottom.
Even if you try to pop those eggs, there is no profit. I don’t know if I take it with me again.
– Kihyaaa!!
Perhaps they thought we were aiming for their eggs, their movements were very desperate.
From a harpy’s point of view, it must be a natural action to drive away uninvited guests who suddenly entered their house.
‘……’
The desperate gestures came quite different from when he was a human in the past. At that time, how to say… Monsters felt like consumables for Hunter’s growth.
I never thought that they had their own lives. As the situation changes, the thoughts also seem to change.
f*ck-! Puff!!
Due to the taunting skills of Takttakyi and Spotted, the attack was concentrated on the Orc and Lizard troops. However, the Neos Harpy’s attack did not have much effect.
Of course, there were summoned creatures who fell into poisoning due to being attacked by them, but it didn’t become a big variable because Ham Eun-young used release at regular intervals.
“Kheung!”
Evolved Lizardmen’s bodies were barely scratched even when attacked by Neos Harpies.
Rather, the thicker Lizardmen in the form of scales were better than the Orcs in this attack.
Whilirik- Tadadat-
Arin, who lived in this dungeon before meeting us, used the cracks in the cliffs and protruding stone beaks as support to quickly move and defeat the harpies.
How could the body be so light, it was like watching an elf moving on a tree that I had seen before.
Killing dozens of them in an instant, she smiled her grin at us.
At that time, Yeon-hee, who was watching Ah-rin perform, told me.
“… Illwoli, would you like to go upstairs with Mr. Joo? We will organize this place.”
Nod-
I was nervous because of yesterday’s work, but I’m glad I did. Yeon-hee held my hand and looked at me with gentle eyes as usual.
With a slightly lighter heart, I escorted Bae Joo-ah and headed to the top where the boss battle unfolded.
Suddenly, she started running. Even if she was slightly hurt, she seemed to think that it would be better.
‘There’s no need to be harmed though.’
She quickly headed upwards, bursting out all the harpies that swarmed around her.
From noble mtl dot com
“Wow- it’s really pitch black.”
“Clack!”
As Jua said, there were already over a hundred Hunters at the top and dozens of times more Neos Harpies fighting a fierce battle.
“Hmm… Sun Moon?”
“??”
“Will you come to me?”
“Tak…”
“… Pooh! It’s a joke. A joke.”
Bae Joo-ah patted me on the shoulder and smiled, then summoned two rocks in advance to narrow the enemy’s attack path.
Among the Hunters, there were also those who did not participate in battle and were taking Neos Harpy eggs.
This is because Neos Harpy eggs are treated as delicacies and are priced fairly well outside. Thanks to this, the harpies were in a state of frenzy.
‘It’s better if I attack aggressively.’
The boss battle in this dungeon was a boss battle with words, and no special entity appeared. Of course, there were guys who were about 30% stronger than the ones that swarmed below, but each variant was different.
– Before darkness comes, defeat the grown ‘Neos Harpy’.
– Kills : 0/800
This was the reason I came up here without a word, leaving so many harpies in the spawning ground. It must be much better here than those who have no nutrition below. The space is also large, so it is easy to work.
Yeonhee gave me exactly the instructions I wanted.
‘… Hmm- It seems that Yeon-hee can even see my former job quest conditions.’
Looking at it like that, it was understandable that they put me up first. It’s rare for her to send me somewhere first.
Did Yeonhee invest her stats in her dominance after all? Even if I had the artifacts I gave them, considering the number of summons that would increase in the future, investing in magic or recovery would have been more efficient in many ways, but it was regrettable.
Of course, dominance might have another effect that I don’t know about, but the thing I regret right now is magic power.
I think you should always keep it in her head that this inefficiency occurs if you make her anxious.
However, Yeonhee being able to check my information may not be a bad thing considering the current situation.
After showing my true self today, if the reaction isn’t bad, I might have to consider letting go of my past little by little.
How about the concept of gradually finding lost memories? Hmm.
It is because it is difficult for me to solve everything by myself in order to stand against numerous enemies anyway.
‘Not just a genius.’
With the only class called Summoner, it is possible to drive alone to one ability level. In a way, Yeon-hee was as mysterious as me.
So, if you work closely with her, you will be more likely to take more.
‘Let’s focus on the present.’
It is known that 200 animals are assigned to each person. Our party is four, so we have to kill 800 of them from this top. No matter who kills it, you only need to kill 800 of them.
Fireball in one hand, skull bomb in the other.
– Those skeletons! It’s Lee Yeon-hee’s summons!
– Duel casting already?!
– A skeleton soldier can grow into a wizard… I can’t believe it.
‘Whoa whoop… It’ll look like you’re doing a duel cast.’
The bomb is just something I prepared in advance, but it will look like that in the eyes of other hunters.
When other people are around, I plan to focus on these two skills as much as possible. The effect of [Stealth] Will increase as my ability is imprinted with bombs and fireballs. Of course, the main would be a fire explosion.
And there are things to check.
‘How much will you allow?’
It was clear that Jo Ki-man had the purpose of using Yeon-hee. But when I think of the [Search] I used, it seems that I don’t want to cover too much…
‘A level of force capable of properly delaying the Orc Corps when they appear. I guess that’s about it.’
Can early man know when the orc army will invade?
Considering that the clock is much faster than the world line I’ve been through, it won’t be easy to predict even if it’s early.
It was difficult to predict how far Yeon-hee’s growth would be tolerated in such an uncertain situation. So I decided to sneak a peek.
Since yesterday’s ‘Closed School’ was pretty flashy, it must have entered Jo Ki-man’s ears.
If we are in a situation where our growth has exceeded his standard, a response will come within 2-3 days. But if nothing goes wrong.
‘This level of growth is within the acceptable range.’
Of course, playing within his expected range has a bitter aftertaste, but it can’t be helped. Because there is absolutely not enough time to overcome the military difference between heaven and earth.
Anyway, given that Kang Kang-soo came and openly said that he would support Yeon-hee, it must have been an agreement with Jo Ki-man to some degree.
The agreement is that Jo Ki-man acquiesces to Kang Kang-soo’s use of Yeon-hee.
Summarizing these circumstances, it is highly likely that we will be left as we are until the guild competition takes place.
Actually, if he is strong enough to challenge the ninth floor of the Giant’s Dungeon, then whether we’re B or A, there’s nothing to be afraid of, but we don’t know when he’ll act on his whim, so we’ll have to prepare step by step.
Of course, I don’t expect to be able to do meaningful damage to that monster, but…
‘A gap in just one moment. I just need to buy a little time to safely evacuate Yeon-hee.’
I nodded and tossed the two round spheres in my hands high into the sky.
It was the start of the fireworks party.
30 Minutes later.
“Huiyu~ You’ve already done this much?”
Now, when half of the boss battle conditions have been met, Yeonhee, Arin, and Eunyeong have reached the top in turn.
– Defeat 10,000 enemies with attributes. (483/10,000)
– Acquired 286 Intermediate Manastones in this dungeon!
– Acquired 286 Neos Harpy loot from this dungeon!
– I got 12 Intermediate Runes in this dungeon!
The quest was going smoothly, and with the [Obsession] Attribute, the combat efficiency increased noticeably.
The surprising thing was that the harpy’s thumb claws were automatically stacked in the inventory. I thought they only took care of mana stones and runes, but the crazy ability to retrieve the marks on its own.
‘I’m so sick… The golden mimic is the best! Tania is the best!’
I praised Tania and looked at the stone engraved with the shape of wings.
Rune of Wealth (Intermediate)
– Floats up to 14mm in the air.
It was a rune of opulence obtained by killing a harpy. The effect of this rune is absurd. What does it mean to rise 1.4 Cm from the ground?
Of course, this rune is called the most trash. However, there are places where this rune is also useful, so the demand is surprisingly not very low.
‘I have to sell all but the best one.’
The price is rubbish as well as the performance, but even so, you will receive more than 300,000 won per unit for mid-range.
You have killed approximately 300 grown Neos Harpies by yourself. Bae Joo-ah finished about 70 of them, and now about half are left.
‘I killed 300 animals and the level didn’t go up at all… At level 50, these guys don’t seem to have enough experience.’
I put away the message that my experience has risen slightly, and focused only on completing the former quest. I also mixed snakey drains whenever I could, but the level didn’t rise either.
– When the amount of magical power drops below 30, the magic recovery speed increases by 300% for 10 minutes.
As much as possible, I refrained from using daggers and only dealt with them with skills. So, all the benefits that can be received from the magic circuit have already been exhausted.
If you were a normal magic hunter, your spirit would run out and you would burn out your magic to the point of burning, but the Blessed Skeleton Soldier has no such weakness.
As the party members joined, the speed of the boss fight doubled. The light shining from the bodies of the summons was quite conspicuous. The guys also battled over and over again, and their level was rising and getting stronger.
