I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner

213 – Hidden Skill

– Damn it, there isn’t even an ore, let alone an artifact.

– I think it would make money if I cut this pillar down and sell it.

-It looks like there’s nothing on the floor? Do I really have to stay here for a week?

– …What about water?

– I think we should look for water first.

– Shouldn’t we all get together and look at the amount of food and water we each have?

The hunters who were obsessed with the artifact searched diligently for 20 minutes, but of course they did not gain any income, and slowly began to open their eyes to realistic problems.

We have to survive for a week, and in fact, people can survive with just water.

However, that only applies to accidents or shipwrecks. Will it be possible to survive while dealing with countless bats and other monsters?

The hunters are already very tired. It would be more painful mentally than physically.

‘For now, let’s take a break… Let’s finish the first wave and think about it.’

Patter-patter-patter-

‘5 minutes at most.’

I had to prepare for the battle with them.

(Tell them that bats with hooks will attack from the ceiling.)

(This is a type of monster I’ve never heard of before.)

Spirit Ran scratched her head once with her wing and then delivered my message to Yeonhee, who was surprised and shared the content with the party members.

“Hook… Bat? What is that? Ugh…”

“But how can it be that it’s not a bug?”

“That’s true, but how many are there?”

While they were asking me questions, they slowly got up and started to warm up.

“It is said that numbers… Cannot be counted.”

“…Has Ilwol ever said that he couldn’t count?”

“It’s never been there before… It’s so small that it’s hard to figure out.”

“Huh… I think this would be better as a shield than a mace.”

“Yes, you guys also change your weapons to something wider.”

At Yeonhee’s command, both the Lizard and Orc units held the round shields given to them by ‘Dungi’. When Dong-yi entered the cave, his body size increased considerably, probably because his abilities had increased.

Those who haven’t received a shield yet have an axe, and if you hit them from the side, it will be much better than a sword.

“Ah, if I had known it would be like this, I should have left [Freezing Storm] Behind.”

Noh Hayun licked her lips with regret. After all, I can only use it once a day?

‘Are you using that to make me feel better?’

Patter-patter-patter-

– Hmm? Something keeps falling from the ceiling-

– Uh…? What do you think is in the sky over there?

As the amount of powder falling from the ceiling increased, other hunters began to notice the presence of bats.

Shootaaa- Hoodduddeuk-

And soon after, stone dust began to rain down from the ceiling.

“Cluck-cluck- Damn it! What is this, cluck! I’m going to die from drinking it?”

– Dust from contaminated ‘hook bats’ accumulates in the space.

– Movement speed decreases by 10%.

– Stamina recovery decreases by an additional 20%.

– Magic recovery decreases by 30%.

“Damn, what is this ridiculous penalty?”

“No, they cut it off in the beginning and then drop it even further? Are they really crazy bastards?”

Seeing the hunters who inhaled the dust went crazy and spewed out anger, it seems that the message that their abilities have decreased seems to have come to mind.

Of course, since I have no concept of breathing, there was no decline in abilities, and if I remember correctly, the decline in hunters’ abilities would be significant.

“Ugh- this is a nightmare! Please tell me it’s a dream…”

It was worth calling it a nightmare.

Upon entering the dungeon, health recovery had already decreased by 30%, but an additional 20%… It was a crazy environment where recovery ability was halved and movement speed and magic power were also reduced.

I handed Yeonhee six masks.

“Ah, it was a good thing I bought it then.”

Yeonhee quickly put on the mask I gave her and then handed it to her colleagues.

“Write this here!”

“Huh? Thank you!”

“Oh, thank you.”

“…Thank you…”

A mask made from Treant by-products used in the Treant Forest Dungeon. As long as you wear this, you will be able to prevent your abilities from decreasing.

The day I cleared the Treant Forest Dungeon.

I stockpiled their bodies, and later asked Yeonhee to make about 200 additional masks.

Thanks to that, it was useful during the Guchang-ro dungeon break, and it is still the same now.

‘I thought 200 would be enough, but I guess I’ll have to buy more just in case.’

If I had the [Production] Ability, I would be able to make consumables more easily. To be honest, wearing a mask is a bit difficult.

The Ent Mask couldn’t block the dead energy of this dungeon, but it had the power to block this kind of dust.

The reason I belatedly handed over the mask, even though I knew the bat would shake off the dust, was because I thought that our party members would have to suffer a bit as well to prepare in the future.

You can tell just by looking at the fact that Ha-yoon Noh and Tae-seok Yeom who were next to them were already wearing masks.

Noh Hayun had experience being attacked by a spore snail once during the Guchang-ro dungeon break, so such preparation would be possible.

Among the hunters from other parties who were constantly coughing, there were some who had masks.

It could be something left over from the Treant forest, or it could be something they always have a certain amount of, like we do.

However, it seems that he only had enough quantity for his own use.

Hunters without masks were begging for masks while making as pitiful expressions as possible, but they were not able to get masks from other hunters.

When I handed over thirty masks to Bae Joo-ah, she immediately nodded.

As Bae Joo-ah flapped her mask, the hunters who were covering her nose and mouth rushed in with the intention of taking out her liver. Hunters wearing masks also purchased additional items, perhaps thinking they should stock up.

Needless to say, a large amount of magic stones and runes came out from their arms. We watched quietly as masks that used to cost tens of thousands of won increased to tens of millions of won.

“Can I go out and settle the bill?”

Nod-

Now the hunters have started to unite around our party. We formed a formation with our backs to the huge pillar in the very center of the cavity.

Kigigigit- Kigigigit-

Although the number was too large to be counted, at least 20,000 ‘hook bats’ shook off all the stone dust covering their bodies.

Then, they shot out intangible sound waves from their mouths in various directions, and they were able to easily find their target. Of course, the target was us.

Gikkigit-!

Purrrr paddling!

They flapped their wings once and began their descent.

– Kyaa aa aa…! Come! There are so many bats!

-What the fuck-! There are too many!

– Wide area, wide area first!

– There are over thirty people, but there are only four wizards!

Originally, I wanted to tackle the ratio of wizards to awakened people. No, this is a lot.

I shook my head and ran upwards on the pillar. Then, the bats that had been falling in one place split in half and flew towards me.

“No. 2 and No. 3 are scattered too!”

As Lizards 2 and 3, who were on a provocation mission, ran to both sides, the group of bats that had split in half that had flown toward our party split into three again.

However, the bats that rushed at me in the air kept their force in the thousands and rushed at me.

Just looking at it, I don’t think I have anything to eat…

I suspect that the waves constantly coming out of their mouths are specialized for determining the amount of magical power or something else rather than their appearance.

Grumbling─

‘I’ll finish the attribute quest first.’

[Fireball] [Fireball] [Fireball]

Puff puff puff puff!

Although they are very small, they fly in a group that is not good for the colony, so even if you fire fireballs randomly, they explode in a wide range.

Those who disappear into ashes without even being able to scream in death.

And.

– Defeat 10,000 enemies with skills with attributes. (1399/10,000)

‘Done! Phew…’

Since they are so small and they move around together, I had a little anxiety about what would happen if I didn’t capture them as one entity. Fortunately, the quest value was counted accurately.

In addition, he achieved the feat of killing nearly fifty enemies with just three fireballs.

‘The attribute quest will be done soon, right?’

Of course, this is possible because they are seriously grouped together, but the number of people still hanging on the ceiling shows that they will continue to benefit from this for the time being.

– You have killed the Hook Bat!

– You have killed the Hook Bat!

.

.

.

The frantic kill messages shook my head, and soon one of their abilities was taken away.

– The attribute [Kleptomania] Is activated!

– This is an entity that does not possess skills. The probability of [Kleptomaniac] Stealing the trait is increased by 5%.

– Randomly steals the hook bat’s characteristics.

– Acquired the trait [Invisible Vampirism]!

‘That’s right, just add one characteristic first. Hmm… It’s invisible blood sucking… And it’s also related to eating. Damn it.’

The message that came up next was a little disappointing. For me, who is barely continuing Irmana’s quest, the skill [Food] And the skills I just acquired are of little use.

But then a message that took away my regret came to mind.

– The newly acquired characteristics have been fused with the skill [Food]!

– Acquired the skill [Little Gluttony]!

‘Yea- That’s right! The two are similar!’

The skill [Food], Which restores physical strength and magic power by taking the flesh of a living or dead thing, now has the same effect by absorbing blood.

I was nodding my head in some satisfaction, but that wasn’t the end.

– Skill [Little Gluttony] And skill [Beginner Transformation] Are fused.

[Beginner Transformation], A skill obtained by catching a ground puppy.

It’s a strange ability that creates magic stones by consuming monster bones, but it’s a skill I’ve never been able to utilize. It has been fused again with the newly combined skill!

– Three different abilities are fused together.

– Acquired the hidden skill [Essential Gluttony]!

‘Wow! Hidden skill?! Suddenly?’

It was really unexpected. However, if you think about it carefully, even beginner transformation was a skill that could be obtained by acquiring it, so the similarity was clear.

【Gluttony of the essence】

– Consume body parts of living and dead creatures and analyze their essence to create small minions.

– When consumed, magic power and stamina are restored by 10 each.

‘Huh… What the hell is this… A small minion?’

A few days ago, I was reminded of the ability Nam Yong-seok possessed called [Evil Demon Master].

Of course, that ability is actually a completely different concept since it is the ability to command a living person, but it was the same in terms of commanding a minion.

I thought that if I did well, one day, when I obtain the Yin Demon Demon Field, I might be able to combine it with this ability.

– The achievement [Pioneer] Has been activated.

– All abilities +3

[Invisible Vampirism], [Small Gluttony], And [Essential Gluttony] Were newly acquired, and all abilities increased by 3.

‘… It’s scary.’

I really felt a tingle down my spine. Even if it is for a justifiable reason, it feels scary to be rewarded like this.

My mind went blank for a moment because of the storm of messages, but I guess I didn’t want to give myself that moment of relaxation. The bats’ attacks continued without stopping.
