I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner

214 – I Chewed and Swallowed the Monster in a Fit of Rage.

Let’s do our own work──!

‘Oh my…!’

Hundreds of little guys pass by me at once. Such attacks continue twice per second.

Health: 206/206 (+50)

Thanks to the damp dungeon environment, my current health was at 20 with Irmana’s blessing fully applied.

Additionally, the level increased by 30 due to the effect of entering Nargul’s dungeon. A situation where you receive a whopping 50 buff.

And even though I was under these guys’ relentless attacks, my stamina wasn’t depleted at all.

They attacked the neck first, and my neck was protected by a mysterious substance that Yeonhee had given me.

Needless to say, the bone armor is strong.

It’s the same as a diamond, no matter how much you scratch it with a knife, it doesn’t leave a single scratch.

The problem is that their attacks are relentless and heavy, so the range of movement is greatly reduced.

‘Ugh… It’s hard to move my body. It wasn’t like this before, but these kids have definitely gotten stronger.’

Puff puff! Grumbling──!

Magic attribute: 92/204

Fireballs and acid sprays were thrown everywhere, and the mana was immediately reduced to less than half.

– If the amount of magical power you have falls below 100, the magic recovery speed increases by 100%.

Still, thanks to the top-class magic circuit, the falling speed was slowed down. The worry was not about me, but about the bottom.

– Ugh! Eight! My arm!

Just then, one hunter made the mistake of breaking away from the formation while blocking the bats’ attack.

‘Even if I felt like I was going to die, I should have held on there!’

Did they think that even if one of them left, the bats’ attack would continue to head towards the center of the defense formation?

If you thought that way, you are mistaken.

The prey that was left alone was the type of picture that predators wanted the most.

Not missing the opportunity, more than 1,000 bats performed a feat of flying as if they would touch the ground, swallowing the man in an instant and rising into the sky.

-Sigh! Wow!

Kwajijijijik- puddeuddeuk─!

The hunter was torn apart by the sharp blades and teeth of more than 10,000 bats in the air, instantly turning into powder and disappearing.

– Woohyun!! Damn it…!

– Didn’t you come to the cave? It’s hard to hold on to this!

– It’s more hell outside! You saw the number of those who were following you earlier!

It’s hell wherever you go, but I could guarantee that it would be much safer here as long as I didn’t make the mistake of panicking like the hunter before.

The huge pillar reliably blocks attacks from the rear and above.

The summons’ tanking was strong, and if you could endure the bleeding pain of being attacked, you would be able to maintain a surprisingly stable defense line.

As if to prove it, our defense wall stood firm even after being attacked by a swarm of bats for the next 10 minutes.

“These bastards! They’re growing bigger by drinking our blood!”

“Damn it…! The armor is still blocking it, but I don’t know how long its durability will last!”

“Are the numbers of those bastards decreasing?”

“The number coming down from the ceiling has definitely decreased!”

It was still tense, but the air was a little different where I was, unlike down there where I was gradually starting to relax.

Before I knew it, I was pressed up against the wall, and was swinging my arms frantically while being attached to the pillar by [Attraction].

‘Why isn’t this place shrinking!’

All I could see was the image of a hooked bat rushing towards me, trying to sink its black-stained teeth into me.

It was a truly horrific and disgusting sight. Even though I was a skeleton, I was still human, so my mental power was constantly being used up.

[Coldness]

Although he was able to maintain his composure thanks to his cool-headedness, his magic power gradually dropped and he was now approaching 30.

Of course, if it drops below 30, your magic power will be full once, but it wasn’t a very pleasant situation now that you don’t know what variables will arise.

‘You damn things!’

Kwasik!

I suddenly exploded with disgust, and in a fit of rage, I bit into a hooked bat, chewed it, and swallowed it whole.

– It is not suitable for consumption. Only 50% of the effect is applied.

But suddenly this message came to mind. Uh? Does this apply?

– Magic power has increased by 5.

‘5! Where is 5?’

I cried out in delight and started devouring the bats without any hesitation. There were many that had not yet sucked blood, so they were still as small as a sparrow and easy to swallow.

However, those who swallowed without chewing were not subject to [Essential Gluttony].

‘Ah-oh! Why not just do it a little roughly?’

Just like the first time, I was so angry that I had to chew and swallow to recover.

However, humans are creatures of adaptation, and I, who spent my time as a human, was acting accordingly.

If you think about it, it also applied when performing Irmana’s quest because you were keeping your head still.

If you try to get it applied somehow, it feels like it’s being applied in a virtual way?

If you think about it that way, I didn’t know that the system doesn’t have strict standards, but rather handles things flexibly. Actually eating a skull? It doesn’t make sense.

And there was another message that came up along with it.

– Start analyzing the essence.

A message that came to mind after swallowing a hooked bat.

Other than that, nothing else has changed. I guess we’ll just have to wait.

A fierce battle went on for 30 minutes.

I was holding on by moving my body to another pillar whenever an opportunity arose and recharging my magic power in between.

If anyone saw us fighting, they would think we were holding on precariously.

In fact, it was close to our unilateral act of massacre.

– Defeat 10,000 enemies with skills with attributes. (4603/10,000)

I killed over 3,000 hooked bats, and thanks to that, I had completed nearly half of the quest.

But I couldn’t kill all the hooked bats.

They beat us mercilessly for a while, and then, as if they thought they couldn’t help it, they moved to the ceiling again and glared at us, occasionally sending out sound waves.

‘It’s not like I gave up…’

The bodies of hundreds of bats were already quite swollen. They are all grown by eating the blood and flesh of hunters.

What’s really absurd is that even if they consume only a small amount, they grow rapidly.

Tak!

When I stopped dragging the aggro and came down, Yeonhee was the first to run.

“Are you okay? Was it hard? What should I do…”

“Tick!”

It was really hard, like I was falling behind, but I couldn’t show weakness to Yeonhee.

I quickly brushed away the gunk from her hair and face, then took a wet wipe from my inventory and cleaned her thoroughly.

“I’ll clean it too…”

But I made Yeonhee clasp her hands as a signal to stay still.

Yeonhee politely held her hands together in front of her and waved them back and forth as I cleaned them. With a satisfied smile.

“Wow~ I like Yeonhee~”

“Shall we clean each other?”

“Huh… Okay. Let’s do that.”

The party members, except Yeom Tae-seok, looked at us with envious eyes, but the other hunters just looked at us with curiosity, as if they couldn’t get used to it.

But interest in us was short-lived.

Hunters flopping down on the ground, breathing heavily.

I glanced over their condition with my senses and checked them as I passed by. Hmm… As expected, some people are in a bit of danger.

The trauma was being treated by taking potions, but internal injuries were the problem.

It might be okay for now, but I doubted whether I could last a week like that.

One person died and a total of 30 people remained.

‘Are they people who should be dragged along regardless of whether they are upset or not…’

But once I had to check my true nature.

The current time is around 5 PM.

In the next 7 hours, we plan to use [Mimicking] To check if there are any insidious groups among them, and then supply water from Irmana to the injured.

“Ha-167 hours left. How many more times do I have to do this?”

Jua muttered as she lay down on the floor and looked at the black hooked bat attached to the ceiling.

“Don’t you think it’s decreased though?”

Clearly the number has decreased.

However, among the ones caught by my senses, the larger ones were hanging upside down from the ceiling and expelling something.

‘It must be a kid…’

They have a unique ability to reproduce through the blood and flesh of awakened people. The number of babies born at a time is 5-10.

There are currently more than 800 of them moaning and giving birth on the ceiling, so at least 4,000 more will be added.

The reason they stopped attacking and returned to the ceiling was probably for reproduction.

But I didn’t bother to tell people that fact. Of course. Why would I say something that would demoralize me? Those damn bats give only a small amount of experience points, and they don’t even drop magic stones. There really is no waste.

“Ilwol, you reduced the number a lot, right?”

Arin asked me with some anticipation, twitching her bunny ears that were clearly hanging down.

I nodded her head loudly and told her that was right, and then her ears, which had been drooping, rose slightly as if she was relieved.

At that time, a man from another party walked up to us and said hello to us.

“We’ll give you everything we have, so just help us get out alive!”

It was a man who found us with his tracking skills.

Behind him, all 23 hunters came together and were watching our party’s reaction. To be more precise, he was looking at Yeom Tae-seok and Baek A-rin.

It is already widely known in D-Class that Arin is the leader of our party, and it goes without saying that Yeom Tae-seok is the leader of this dungeon, so he must know.

Magic stones and runes can be recovered at any time as long as they survive.

Along with a bent back, a slightly crumpled pride is something I can give as much as I can if I can survive.

Arin and Yeom Tae-seok responded with full understanding, and so they and we became temporary allies for this survival.

“There are a few things you must follow. Everyone knows the basic rules, but please read what is written here one more time before engraving the magic seal!”

It was a contract of pledge that I had seen recently with Heo Min-sol and the Apex Guild.

It was held by a hunter from another party, and it was of a high-end type, so it was possible for multiple people to make a pledge at the same time.

The contents of the pledge were simple.

1. Do not attack your companions until you escape from Nargul’s dungeon.

2. Do not reveal the abilities, equipment, consumables, artifacts, or anything else of your colleagues present until they die.

3. Do not take other people’s loot.

Looking at the contents of the contract, it seems that no special conditions were included.

Because it was an extremely common sense condition, everyone signed the contract proposed by Yeom Tae-seok.

‘I guess I fell into that category too.’

Since Yeonhee also made a pledge in the contract, it would be normal for me as a summoned animal to be included…

Since I was not directly involved, it was a bit ambiguous. In fact, there was no class called summoner.

‘You’ll find out when you check.’
