I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner

204 – Vicious Claws

When I announced the presence of enemies through Lan, the faces of the party members quickly became serious.

The atmosphere was friendly just a minute ago, but the reason they lost their faces in the second battle was because of the number of ghouls.

“I heard that if there are over a hundred… A ghoul champion will appear…”

There are cases where a variant is guaranteed to occur if certain conditions are met, and that’s what these guys did.

The Ghoul Champion is a monster close to the level of a semi-boss, and although it is much larger than a Ghoul, it has agile movements, so it is highly dangerous.

He even runs away when he feels he is at a disadvantage.

“How to avoid it?”

Arin, the party leader, first asked if a detour was possible. This part shows her caution, and she doesn’t seem to have any intention of avoiding it.

However, as a leader, you need to understand all the possibilities.

Ghouls usually wait under the ground and then suddenly pop out and hit the hunters in the back, but to me, this was out of the question.

Since it was a distance of 300 meters, there were plenty of ways to get back. He didn’t think about anything else other than attacking head on.

But the decisions are made by colleagues. Since I am just a summoned beast, I have no choice but to wait.

“Let’s fight.”

The one who broke the silence for just a few seconds was Yeonhee.

“It’s not like we’re being attacked anyway, and we’re going to attack first, so what’s the problem?”

That was correct.

“Let’s do that.”

Yeom Tae-seok, who was watching our reaction from a distance, gave a short answer, and the others also nodded in agreement.

The number is a bit high, but the closer you get to the exit, the more often you come across that number.

That’s probably why Noh Hayun and Yeom Tae-seok waited for our opinions without hesitation.

With our opinions gathered, we approached the guys with as much discouragement as possible.

If I had passed by without knowing, I would have been completely fooled, but if I looked closely at the ground, unnaturally concave areas were visible here and there.

Of course, my senses clearly showed the appearance of ghouls waiting for us to come from under the ground.

‘I think it would be really fun to dig into the ground, go under them, and bury time bombs one by one.’

Of course, considering efficiency, that wasn’t a very good choice, but I imagined that for a moment.

Me leisurely looking at the bombs exploding at the same time in the sky.

[Skull Bomb]

“Ho… That is…”

Yeom Tae-seok seemed to get tired of it and opened his mouth wide as he looked at the bomb I had taken out. This guy was really reacting to my every action.

Use [Surprise] To climb the tree, jump, and fly into the air.

I could see a ceiling high up in the sky. What kind of world will unfold if you go up there?

But it is said that no one has ever been there. This is because no matter how high you go, the distance from the ceiling is fixed, and no one knows how that is possible.

Hwieeeing-

Soon dozens of bombs were dropped from the sky onto the ground where they were hiding.

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

“Kuhhh!!”

When the guys who were hiding for a surprise attack were attacked in reverse, they jumped out of the ground in surprise.

Of course, waiting for them were our party members and summoned beasts that were showing off their ferocious energy without hesitation.

A group of ghouls were not seriously injured by the bomb because they were under the ground, but their stamina was considerably reduced.

In battle, whether it is a monster or a hunter, suppressing the starting point is important. They were depressed from the start, and collapsed like a deflated balloon due to our attacks.

But that’s only for a moment.

Kwaeee eeellllllllllllllllll good

“Keuuuuu!”

A roar so loud that all my colleagues had to cover their ears came from the other side.

Thanks to that guy, the group of ghouls that were in confusion were able to regain their position and enter into a standoff with us.

“Tsk… Were you inside the forest?”

‘I was seeing an opportunity.’

I knew of his existence, but I had no intention of dealing with him.

Like Yeom Tae-seok, I have always devoted myself to the role of Yeon-hee’s helper. Fighting against a group led by a champion will be a great experience for her and her summons her her.

And no matter how strong the Ghoul Champion was, he was far short of ‘Tooth’, so he didn’t really have the will to compete.

I already knew that there would be no particular reward even if I killed him.

After examining the battlefield for a moment, Yeonhee ordered Gangsu to summon all the newly summoned orcs.

‘If I call them all in, will they be maintained? There are over 40…’

Even if there were magical orbs and artifacts, it would not be easy to maintain that scale. If you hold it for 6-7 minutes, you will have held it for a long time.

Yeonhee seems to have decided that that amount of time is enough to deal with the ghouls and champions, of which more than 70% still survive.

‘It depends on how much I help.’

I’m trying to help her grow, but I don’t want to create the perception that I control her strength.

That would be a reversal of the master-servant relationship, so even Yeon-hee would be offended.

‘I need to build up quests.’

After landing on the ground, I started cutting off the ghouls’ throats one by one with my dagger.

Their blackened nails are quite sharp, aiming for my vital area.

Whoosh!

‘Yikes!’

There were definitely a lot of them, so it wasn’t easy to avoid them while staying in the center. I turned to the outside and started working again from the outside.

– Defeat 10,000 enemies using daggers while in stealth mode. (1001/10,000)

After wandering through the orc dungeon for several days, I finally reached the fourth position. Fuck, this is really gross. A dog-like quest.

I plan to lead my party members to the cave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

As long as it was confirmed that the little winged creatures living there were counted, it was soon enough to say goodbye to this crappy quest. Let’s wait a moment.

After catching about twenty ghouls, I was able to obtain one of each of their characteristics and skills.

[Dead Nails]

– When an attack is made using a body part, the opponent is paralyzed for 0.1 seconds.

This was the most representative characteristic of a ghoul. It’s a dangerous ability that makes your body stiffen in a split second, but in that brief moment, you’ll end up in trouble.

– The trait [Dead Claws] Is fused with the trait [Rough Claws].

‘Oh, as expected. This is as expected.’

This was something I was looking forward to because it was a similar ability to the [Rough Claw] I got from the Lesser Dire Wolf.

Vicious Claws Lv.1

– When an attack is made using a body part, there is a 50% chance of causing status abnormalities [Bleeding] And [Paralysis].

– Bleeding: Maximum health decreases by 0.02% every second. The effect doubles when fighting while bleeding.

– Paralysis: Stiffens the body for 0.2 seconds.

‘Hey-! This has become very efficient, hasn’t it?’

Status abnormalities that previously had a 25% chance to trigger have been reduced to 50%. The levels of bleeding and paralysis also doubled.

When I was nodding my head while looking at the thorns growing on my body. I heard my colleagues shouting. Let’s check the skills we have acquired after finishing.

– It’s coming!

– Scatter away!!

The ghoul had a human-shaped body with a curved back, and the appearance of its colorful and colorful vertebrae wriggling out was extremely bizarre.

In particular, the ghoul champion that made our party members retreat in horror was three times the size of a normal monster and moved more than 20% faster.

Moreover, since the length of the nails could be freely adjusted, it was not easy to maintain a sense of distance.

Kieeek-!

It rushed forward on all fours, scattering our party members, and then lunged at the one person who seemed the weakest.

And the person who was considered the weakest as a ghoul official was none other than Ham Eun-young.

‘No? But what if I leave him alone?’

It was an obvious mistake. There were two lizard men next to Eunyoung, but she had no choice.

I don’t know if there was at least number 1, but the problem was that the summons on the battlefield were spread out too widely.

Of course, that was due to the number of ghouls and the heroism of the champion who charged in with vicious force, but that much should have been predicted and arranged by party leader Arin.

‘I wonder if it’s still okay without me…’

The moment I thought it might be a bit dangerous and launched myself at Eun-young, a humanoid monster with two horns on its head jumped out of Ham Eun-young’s hand mirror.

The monster opened her mouth and spit out something, and at that moment, an intangible shock wave exploded like a waterfall.

– Kwaa—!

The range and destructive power of the shock wave were truly enormous, blowing away a ghoul champion twice the size of Lizard No. 1 by tens of meters in one go.

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

It doesn’t seem like the shock wave itself did any damage, but the champion was unable to stand up for a while after hitting his head on a huge rock.

Muong─

At that moment, my colleagues, summoned beasts, and even the ghouls on the battlefield stood still. It was such an unrealistic sight.

“What! What?!”

“Was it a defensive artifact?”

“Uh…? Those horns…?”

Those of us who saw Ham Eun-young’s hand mirror in action for the first time could not help but be astonished. You said he had some kind of ego, but he was a monster of that level?

“… It wasn’t that dangerous… I could have avoided it…”

Ham Eun-young muttered something to the hand mirror, and when the monster heard those words, it instantly disappeared into the hand mirror again.

The monster that entered the hand mirror glowed for a moment and seemed to convey a message to Ham Eun-young.

Then Eunyoung immediately nodded and sang her own song, [Stability of the Mind].

– Good profit!!

The ghouls who heard the song were in pain as they covered their ears, and when Yeom Tae-seok’s ‘Aura of Devotion’ was given to them, the war that was briefly balanced was greatly overturned.

“As long as the aura is present, you are immune to paralysis!”

“Okay. Everyone rush—!!”

At Yeonhee’s command, the summoned beasts began to surge in like a wave and wipe out the remaining enemies.

Just as fine sand is left behind where the waves pass, their crumbled bodies will be scattered all over the floor.

“Heheuuu-! Purruu-!”

The Ghoul Champion, who had been dealt a heavy blow by Ham Eun-young’s artifact, stood up as if exhaling and took a quick look around the battlefield. Are you looking for an angle to escape?

However, the Neos Harpy ‘Nepi’ had already fallen on top of the guy’s head and was attacking him with poisonous claws, and Yeom Tae-seok along with Noh Hayun were also running towards the guy with their shields out.

Even if that wasn’t the case, there were also crackling and screaming mushrooms on standby, ready to attract his attention at any time.

Yeonhee takes a bow. Bae Ju-ah filled the area around him with rocks, blocking his escape route.

I couldn’t hide my joy as I watched my colleagues step by step putting pressure on him.

‘Is this… Possible?’

Making progress quickly was also a good thing for me.

Because you can delay the timing of entering the cave for the quest.

I can only go there when I feel like my party’s strength is stable, so I just hope it grows as quickly as possible.
