I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner

206 – Pulled String

Anyone could see that it was a sign that something strange was about to happen.

The colleague looked nervous for a moment, but she soon regained her composition as she heard the song calmly flowing from Eunyoung Ham’s mouth to her.

‘Good timing.’

For some reason, Eunyoung seemed to be in a good mood after her goblin-like demon appeared.

In any case, all of the hunters who entered this dungeon were people who accepted such variables.

Although it was originally a dangerous place, the dungeon is a place where you can get what you want if you enter with sufficient preparation.

However, looking at the current atmosphere, the level of difficulty was so arbitrary that you had to accept it even if dozens of giant skeletons suddenly fell from the sky.

I knew this because I listened to the news early in the morning to get information about what was going on in the world.

The news was that the number of hunters entering the dungeon had decreased by 5% compared to this time last year. Even if it increased, it wasn’t enough, so it decreased?

However, there was no answer as the number of powerful variants appearing in the dungeon quickly increased without blinking.

In the end, lower-level hunters such as F-class and E-class showed the greatest decline.

They were still weak and inexperienced.

The idea is to protect life rather than money. It was wise.

“Whoa…”

Yeonhee’s deep breathing became deeper and deeper.

“…”

Although we were all aware of the predicted situation, we did not dare to say anything negative.

You especially don’t want to think about the name ‘Skeleton Knight’ that comes to mind.

This is because the moment it appears, all the aggro of nearby monsters flocks to one place.

It wasn’t at the level of leaving a mark like an Ent in an E-class dungeon.

Literally, a large unit is formed centered around the ‘Skeleton Knight’.

It’s terrible. The sight of thousands of undead troops constantly rushing in, more than twice as strong as they are now.

Purr-

Arin shook her head left and right.

Could it be that you were thinking the same thing as me? It’s definitely a picture I don’t want to even imagine.

‘Skeleton knights, monster bombs, greatly increased giant skeletons…’

No matter who came, I had to think of a way to protect Yeonhee.

As the worrying situation continued, the colleagues’ steps continued to slow down and their breathing became rough.

Fortunately, Eunyoung’s ability continued to take care of us.

Even if I had to fall out with JooA and Arin in the future, I was convinced that I had to keep Ham Eunyoung on the same team. For Yeonhee, of course.

As if laughing at our nervousness, a dozen skeletons of ordinary composition began to appear within the wavelength of my senses again.

‘Ah-oh! This damn dungeon is real. They lift and place people.’

We, who had been tense for several tens of minutes, relaxed greatly and finished the four battles that followed.

*

Two hours after departure, it was time to sit in an empty space for a while and replenish energy with snacks.

‘You’re here.’

There are three main things I wanted to achieve in this dungeon. One was to catch the small creatures living in the cave and complete the quest.

Another thing is to find hidden artifacts.

And the last one was ‘Bone Dancer’, a monster that had just jumped into my range.

It is an impressive tailbone with a needle-like tip and an abnormally rounded bulge in the middle.

The skull’s elongated, backwards extension gave us a glimpse of its appearance when it was alive. It had a shape similar to that of an alien seen in a science fiction movie, with thin legs split into two and extending toward the ground.

Typically a style with a poor lower body.

Just by looking at his appearance, he seems like he can be defeated very easily, but he is the most vicious guy in this dungeon.

‘There are too many… I need to move around a bit.’

I immediately sent a signal to the party members, letting them know that the enemy was approaching.

“What type?”

“… It’s said to be a real dancer.”

I informed them that they should move in the opposite direction from the direction they were coming from.

Of course, I don’t plan to just widen the distance and run away, but I plan to move to a narrow area where there are restrictions on their activity and then deal with them.

This is because they have very long heads and bodies, so they are limited by terrain.

Plus, they aren’t the type to fight with great movement. Just that level of limitation will make our response much easier.

“How many?”

“… Twenty…”

“Crazy…? There are that many?”

Even considering Yeonhee’s abilities, it was a burdensome number. They don’t live in packs like lesser dire wolves, so it was ridiculous.

It would have been nice to meet two or three, kill them leisurely, and just steal their skills, but is there anything in the world that goes my way?

The party members, including Yeom Tae-seok, began to move their bodies quickly in response to my signal.

All five of my colleagues except Yeom Tae-seok and I were moving while riding on the Lizardman’s shoulders.

As we started running, the dancers we saw also started running on all fours.

Unlike other undead, this dancer had the sense to notice the presence of hunters even from very far away. She was a unique monster in many ways.

When I was running without stopping for about 3 minutes, Yeom Tae-seok spoke.

“Hmm… I guess I’m planning to enter the graveyard of giants.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Excellent… What on earth is that Ilwol guy? Did he have the rank of commander in another world in his past life?”

Yeom Tae-seok was in charge of the rear guard on the other side of me and followed behind me, but he would ask out loud questions about my surprise.

“I’m too good at using magic for that.”

“I heard about the newly acquired abilities. I couldn’t use things like fireballs during the canyon… Isn’t that amazing?”

Joo-a answered Yeom Tae-seok’s question somewhat bluntly, but Noh Hayun didn’t bother to return the words to Yeonhee.

“··· Yes. It’s always surprising… Whether inside or outside the dungeon…”

“Hmm…”

Hayun’s lips twitched as if she thought of something to ask at Yeonhee’s thoughtless words, but now was not the right time.

We arrived at the giant’s tomb, which was filled with tombstones as tall as me.

This place is believed to be the tomb of the Giant Skeletons that are sometimes mixed in with the Ten Skeletons. In fact, it was a good place for ghouls and other skeleton soldiers to jump out from under the ground, so everyone looked nervous.

“If we do this wrong, wouldn’t we be surrounded?”

“No. Ilwolgun’s judgment seems to be appropriate. Other hunters may have cleaned up this place, so it’s clean now.”

‘I can definitely feel the energy of the undead.’

Yeom Tae-seok gave me a thumbs up and turned his gaze to a group of people running in the distance with strange movements.

“That’s the dancer I saw…”

Yeonhee mumbled and grabbed my hand without thinking.

When they spotted us, their tail segments, which looked like they had several small watermelons on them, began to glow brightly.

The light was very mysterious and had a sense of depth.

They throw that long tail at the opponent, entangle it, and then explode together.

But that doesn’t mean it won’t self-destruct if it doesn’t get caught in the tail.

The conclusion is that if an enemy enters within a certain interval, they will unconditionally self-destruct, and wrapping their tails was more of an aesthetic behavior on the part of them.

“That acts as a detonator.”

I shook my head as I looked at our party members who were looking at them blankly.

Creak-clatter-

They supported the ground with their fragile, thin leg bones, and then began to run toward us, rapidly flapping their arms and leg bones to the left and right, bending and bending arbitrarily.

The sight was so bizarre that when Yeonhee, Arin, and Jooah saw it for the first time, they all got scared and screamed.

“aah! What is that!”

“Wow – it’s disgusting. It’s just like I heard.”

“You have to run away!”

‘Yeom Tae-seok and Noh Ha-yoon responded well. How many times have I told her to close her eyes when the dancer reveals her tail?

When hypnotizing one another, ‘Close your eyes and now fall into hypnosis.’ They say making the same suggestion is effective.

The moment the guy lit up his tail joints a little while ago, it was the beginning of hypnosis in their own way.

Just like that, the four hunters were helplessly bewitched by them.

It’s definitely a bizarre gesture that will make you frown, but if you watch that group dance while you can’t take your eyes off, you’ll be instantly mesmerized and go into a state close to paralysis.

“Uh…”

“Heh…”

Just like JooA and Arin right now. But aren’t you guys getting carried away too quickly?

“Everyone, come to your senses!”

With good timing, Taeseok Yeom alerted the party members and activated [Aura of Devotion].

Beads of light with a sacred energy fell on their heads all at once.

Thanks to this, JooA and Arin, who had entered the beginning of hypnosis, were able to quickly come to their senses.

Yeom Tae-seok had his eyes closed from the moment he discovered them.

Noh Hayun had already taken out a pair of sunglasses from her inventory and was putting them on.

I’m not saying that wearing sunglasses won’t make you magical, but the vague belief that it will have that effect is powerful in this world.

The distance narrowed to 30 meters, and their acceleration reached its peak.

Yeonhee, who stumbled for a moment as if feeling a bit dizzy, signaled to the summoned beasts she had ambushed as she entered the cemetery.

Paeng─

The orcs lying on the ground pulled the rope tied with Big Boar’s skin from both sides, knocking down the leader of the charging group of Bone Dancers.

Kwakagagak-!

A group of dancers falling like dominoes.

As if I had been waiting, I fired fireballs and bombs at the heads of the fallen guys.

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

Grumbling──

Bombs, which take time to make, were used only in small quantities, and fireballs, which deal greatly increased damage, were used actively.

However, there was a limit to killing them all with single fireballs and bombs.

– You have defeated the Bone Dancer!

– You have defeated the Bone Dancer!

‘Only two.’

But that was enough to steal their skills.

“Everyone attack!!”

Yeonhee gave the order without delay, and the Lizard and Orc troops rushed at them without hesitation.

“…!”

Whirring!

The group of bone dancers who had tripped over her rope all stretched out their long tails to entangle the charging summons with her drool.

Unusually, they did not pull the tail of the summoned beasts, but instead rushed towards the summoned beasts themselves. And.

Kiiiiing───

The tail that was wrapped around the summoned beasts emitted intense red light, and soon an ear-piercing tinnitus pierced through my head.

If the fireballs or skull bombs I used made traditional explosion sounds, the sounds they made were like spikes.

“aah!”

Arin fell, clutching her ears and rolling around on her back. She forgot to put some hair in her her her her ear her hole her her.

In fact, the explosion caused by this dancer did not explode around a certain radius, but had a trajectory like a spear aimed at a single point.

Kwahiah Ah Ah ──!

A series of strong explosion sounds erupted, and the summons that were running towards them were completely destroyed in the blink of an eye.

Usually, when the summoned animals die or are in a near-dead state, Yeonhee cancels the summoning and is used to disappearing into gray smoke.

As more than 30 summoned animals disappeared, leaving only body parts behind, Yeonhee just blinked.
