I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner

553 – I Picked a Number.

– It’s the first save point!

Arang, the rabbit beast, discovered a long, cylindrical pillar of light and let out a shout of joy.

– I guess I’ll have to go in and discuss it first. This is in such bad condition…

– Hoyeol, are you okay?

– ·········.

– Oh my, what should I do? Look how paralyzed I can’t even speak properly.

The second large-scale battle has concluded, and our party suffered minor losses.

The snake beast fell into magical exhaustion and lost consciousness.

Nam Ho-yeol, a tiger beast, made the mistake of leaving his formation in the heat of battle and suffered serious injuries, having both his arms cut off by the ‘Abyss Hunter’.

Nam Ho-yeol became completely paralyzed due to a neurotoxin and became a burden weighing well over 100 kg.

Woooung──

The prisoners quickly move Nam Ho-yeol into the save point and provide first aid.

“Wow, I told you several times to stay right next to me, but you let go again! What should I do if the tiger beastman has such a weak grip!”

“Stop saying something. I didn’t fall on purpose.”

“······.”

Nam Ho-yeol groaned inaudibly, as if his consciousness remained hazy.

It looks like he wants to say he’s sorry.

“Anyway, what’s wrong with the dungeon today? When monsters go crazy and appear, there are over 300 of them. Normally, they say there’s probably over a hundred.”

“Something is strange. It’s a miracle that I survived. Ugh…”

Everyone is looking at me as if we had made a promise.

Since I even showed off my ability to create a huge igloo, curiosity about me must have increased even more.

“The bleeding is over, can I put it on right away?”

“I’ve only experienced amputation injuries a few times, so I remember the order well…”

Joining severed body parts is surprisingly an unfamiliar task to hunters.

In the first place, if an injury occurs to that extent, there is usually no time to take care of the severed body parts.

What’s more, even the healer, who is the most needed person in the current situation, is unable to regain consciousness, so he has no choice but to panic.

“Let’s give him the antidote first.”

“Well, let’s do that.”

‘No, you can give the antidote later.’

[Mimicking]

In the end, I had to let go of the restrictions out of frustration.

“Wait a minute. The poison won’t kill you, so just leave it alone. If anything, being paralyzed will make bonding easier with less vibration.”

“───?!!”

The prisoners were shocked when I approached them and spoke to them, who had been silent up until now.

“Ma, ma, you are talking…?”

“Your voice sounds a lot younger than I thought…”

“Wow… You have a nice voice…”

‘Being surprised at every single thing is a talent. ‘Guys.’

I took out both of Hoyeol’s severed arms from subspace.

In the second battle, the moment Hoyeol was surrounded by dozens of monsters and hacked to pieces, I activated [Border Sanctuary] To protect him and quickly recovered the severed arm, which is why I am holding it.

“Hold on tight. Unless you want to see a tiger holding a spoon upside down for the rest of its life.”

“Ah, yes yes!!”

“That’s it. Yang, you pour the potion.”

“Yes, ah, I understand!”

I carefully attached her severed arm to the cross section of the ho-yeol, and the beastmen calmly assisted me.

The most important thing in the treatment of such amputations is that the person attempting the joining must remain calm.

Since I don’t have any feelings for this guy named Ho-yeol, I was able to finish the work without the slightest trepidation.

Slurp ──

Since the arm has just been cut off, it looks like the joining process is starting quickly.

“Only give one bottle of antidote. There is no use in giving it too much.”

“Oh… “

The horse beast, who had pulled out a bunch of antidotes from subspace, was started and put them back in.

“Phew… Thank you, Alpha. You saved our colleagues again.”

“Isn’t it right to try to avoid saying things like that?”

“Ugh… Sorry… We should have taken more care.”

“Is there anything else for top A-level hunters to do other than taking care of who they want to take care of? Don’t be clumsy about teamwork, just focus on your own interests. That will be enough for you.”

“”······.””

I meant to tell them to come to their senses, but the corners of the prisoners’ mouths were turning up.

‘It’s all because of you. What are you doing that makes your team so worried?’

I approached the tiger beastman who was slowly calming down and spoke in a slightly calm voice.

“If your abilities are lacking, it is courage to let go. That is consideration and teamwork.”

“······.”

It was clear that this guy had relatively poor abilities.

For some reason, my colleagues tried to take care of the tiger beast in any way possible, but from what I saw, this guy was not mentally strong.

After hearing my words, the other prisoners exchanged looks and didn’t know what to do.

I don’t know why he reacted like that because he was such an amazing guy.

Anyway, the treatment was completed, and the remaining people started having a meeting about what to do next.

There were many opinions, but it wasn’t the reaction I expected.

‘Even though it has gotten to this point, are you still shouting out choice? Your will is surprisingly strong. If it’s for the sake of being ‘baptized’ at the third hunting ground, you can agree to it, but you’re not planning on capturing the boss, are you?’

“Oh, feed me this too.”

I lightly threw the brown bottle containing Irmana’s water at Arang.

“What is this?”

“I don’t know anything.”

“Hmph…”

After opening the lid of the brown bottle and smelling it for a moment, Arang immediately poured it into Nam Ho-yeol’s mouth.

Emergency treatment has been completed, but sufficient time is needed for the Abyss Hunter’s neurotoxin to be completely detoxified.

Will it be possible to take the tiger beastman, whose condition has dropped to around 70%, and the snake beastman, who is feeling helpless, to the third hunting ground?

‘Even considering the resilience of the prisoners, it would be unreasonable. You can do it in the beginning, but you can’t do it while protecting these people from the middle.’

Considering that there are an unusually large number of monsters today, you can even take a bus to the second hunting ground.

Those people probably don’t know that either.

“Are you thinking about going for the third time?”

“That’s right. But I can’t do anything from there. Each monster is formidable.”

“We have no intention of continuing to receive help. We would not ask for more if you would just guide us like you do now.”

“They are good at talking. If it weren’t for me, they would have been stuck in the swamp.”

“Ugh… I guess it’s my first time in an underwater battle… So I don’t have anything to say…”

I think Arang feels sorry for continuing to be indebted to me.

‘There’s no particular need for that.’

I’m speaking coldly based on the concept of a somewhat cold-hearted hunter, but I actually feel sorry if I react like that.

‘He’s a cruel guy, me too…’

Shaking my head, I gathered the prisoners together.

Bubble Bubble Bubble-

“Oh oh oh…”

“It’s amazing to see it again.” What’s the name of the skill?”

‘What was it… Ah.’

“It’s a water weapon.”

“Aha-“

I was making a new weapon by sticking my arm out of the save point.

“I’ll make you shields. Everyone, even if it’s awkward, hold one by one. And when a large-scale battle like before begins, get into a defensive posture as much as possible. I’ll take care of the rest. Just focus on the guy in front of you.”

“Yes!!”

“Okay!”

“Instead, this is only the second time. The third hunting ground is on the ground, so it depends on your ability then.”

It was probably unreasonable to expect an underwater battle from a beastman.

And although this is my only household, I wondered if it was because of me that monsters kept flocking in large numbers.

‘I thought I would do that when I went out with Yeonhee, but now that I’m working alone, I feel it.’

I don’t know if there’s some kind of honey on my body, but it seems like I have the power to summon monsters.

‘I’ve suspected it might be like that for a long time… But wait, is it because I was there that there were so many small gates in the dungeon?’

Now I even think about all sorts of things.

I wonder why monsters rush at me like they want to kill me.

“uuu-“

The tiger beast stood up shakily, as if the paralysis had gone away.

Still, he was a guy with good physical strength, so he resolved very quickly. Or maybe Irmana’s water had an effect.

“Hoyeol~ You’ve tasted everything for the time being.”

“Uuuh…”

Even if paralysis is relieved, the lost sense of taste does not easily return.

Ho-yeol, who had lost one of the great joys of life for the time being, slowly approached me with a lost expression.

Then he bends over towards me and mumbles while moving his lips, which he cannot properly tease.

“Gaaa-“

I guessed what he was doing, so he waved his hand vigorously.

“It’s a temporary party, but I’m not so trash that I’d watch people die. That’s just it, so I don’t have to say any more.”

Hoyeol even had tears in his eyes and thanked me once again.

I couldn’t believe that among the extremely aggressive tiger beastmen, there was such an emotional group.

“Did you say Arang? Look at me for a moment.”

“Kyaa- Me, me?”

“Yes you.”

“Yes!!”

I brought her a little distance away and asked her, who was somehow blushing, directly.

“What is your purpose?”

“Ah… Yes?”

“I’m asking because it seems like there’s a mission that needs to be completed within a deadline. Why are you overdoing it? I’m not looking down on you guys, but it’s a hasty combination.”

“Ah… Yes… That’s why.”

Arang, who had a visibly disappointed expression on her face, opened his lips after thinking for a moment.

“Actually, we—”

Arang told a short story as if it was nothing special, but from her perspective, it was quite an interesting story.

“You are under the command of ‘Sangun’?”

“Yes.”

“Is that guy over there who looks like Ho-yeol the youngest son of ‘Sangun’?”

“Yes…”

Oh my god… Is that the youngest son of ‘Sangun’, known as the highest peak of Korean beast character?

“··· Well, that’s enough. The first home of the beastmen? What are they doing there?”

“I don’t know about that either. I recently found records of an ancient empire in a newly discovered dungeon. I gained meaningful information from those records, and all I know is that ‘Sangun’ is showing great interest in them.”

‘Transcendant Sangun is one of the members who defeated the great monster along with Joong-gil. It’s interesting that someone like that found valuable information.’

“I see… That’s for sure. As a tiger beastman, I must complete my mission.”

“Yes, we want to repay our debt to Sangun.”

Except for Ho-yeol, the remaining seven prisoners are all said to be from an orphanage run by Sangun.

Since I have received support since I was young, it is natural to want to help Sangun.

‘I was wondering why you cared so much about this guy who was a little lacking in some way. It was because of my father.’

“Thanks to you, some of my doubts have been resolved.”

“Is that so?”

“I have one more question. Do you know a rabbit beast named Arin?”

“Arin…? I don’t know?”

“I see. I understand.”

First of all, it has nothing to do with Arin.

“? Rather, that number, perhaps.”

“What is it?”

Arang twisted her body and she struggled to get her words out.

“Could you please give me your number?”

“?”

“Well, we’ve been indebted to you so much that we’d like to treat you to a meal.”

“It’s okay. What about food? For now, just focus on getting out alive.”

“Hmph… Still… “

‘Wait a minute, no… It wouldn’t be a bad idea to make connections with people here.’

“··· I’ll call your number. At least leave a message when you leave.”

“Wow, yes! I will definitely contact you.”

I received a phone call from Yeonhee and gave her my contact information.

“Personal contact is prohibited. Contact me if something meaningful happens.”

“Hehe… I understand.”

Arang took her number and smiled broadly.

That smile had a freshness that was different from Arin’s, and only then did I clearly feel that they were not related.

“But can I ask you one thing?”

“What is it?”

“Alpha, why didn’t you speak even though you could?”

The distance she can reach if she stretches out her hand.

She must feel that I am completely different now than when I was a skeleton.

“Except when you are resting, think of it as training.”

“Aha!”

It was just a loose comment, but she nodded her head and was happy, as if she had greatly realized it.

‘He is a person with a strange charm.’

After that, we waited for another 30 minutes, and only then did Hoyeol’s body start to move properly.

Thanks to this, I had to activate [Mimicking] One more time.

It’s funny that I suddenly can’t speak.

“Sorry, sorry-“

“Okay. “Can you move your body?”

“It’s easy!”

“You’ll know that when you go out and see.”

We headed back to the dungeon, and contrary to Hoyeol’s boasts, due to the sluggish battle, we had to invest a full five hours to finally arrive in front of the passage leading to the third hunting ground.
