I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner

576 – My Face Was Stolen

‘Hmph, the guy is already dead. It’s done.’

Jo Ki-man’s thoughts briefly went somewhere else and he reflected on his loss of concentration

Although it was only a split second, he missed Liu Shaoyue’s movement and strengthened his magic again.

– Stand there────!

‘Your voice is the same.’

Jo Gi-man, who saw that Liu Shao-yue was still following along, shouted inwardly.

‘Seven-headed dragons! You should at least give me a skill equivalent to Meteor! I guess I took a big loss too!’

Originally, I planned to visit the hidden temple of the water goddess ‘Rune’. The location of the temple was information that I found out by chance while recently hunting down water attribute awakeners.

Of course, in order to do that, you would have to go through the dungeon exclusively managed by the Guardian Guild, go to the home of the elves, and go to the trouble of destroying it. It was worth the effort.

The Seven Headed Dragon was the one who put the plan awry, but no matter how evil he was, he couldn’t give Jogiman the level of skill he required. Because granting power without even the slightest probability is something that no being can do.

Still, since only Jogi knew of countless routes to obtain the coveted skills, the Seven Headed Dragon replied that he would do so and immediately withdrew his gaze from him.

Even if Jo Gi-man is a Hwa-shin who has shown disappointing performances recently, compensation must be certain.

The Seven Headed Dragon briefly turned to another space to prepare for it.

‘Hmph, it’s gone. If you don’t bring really useful skills, I can’t cooperate.’

So Jo Ki-man played tug-of-war for an entire hour, enticing Liu Shao-yue.

‘··· Huh?’

At some point, I realized it.

“··· What… This! Such a fucking b*tch?!”

Surprisingly, it was not Liu Shaoyue who was following him diligently.

It was a clone so similar to the main body that it was so full of magical power that it was indistinguishable.

(Meow? Giggle, giggle, kick- Meow, would you like a taste of the punch? Kihihihi-)

A cat mask that throws a jab and provokes Jogiman, who looks back with a viciously distorted expression.

The sight of him twerking with his butt high in the sky was very disappointing.

‘Blue cat?! That guy had this kind of ability?!’

Kwasik!!

Jogiman suddenly grabs the blue cat by the back and blows his head off

He looked in disbelief as he looked at the woman wearing the cat mask, who had dispersed like smoke.

If there had been a seven-headed dragon, he would have noticed it sooner!

If only it weren’t in a state of mimicry!

“What the heck!!”

I thought I knew everything about her main ability, but what happened?

“Tear that b*tch to death! How dare you insult me!!”

Jo Gi-man ran back into the event venue, firing his skills everywhere

* * *

A few tens of minutes before Ryu Shao-wol encountered Jo Gi-man in the form of Yun Han-gyeol.

“There is another helper?”

“The master said so.”

I heard unexpected information during a conversation with ‘Zhou Jun’ who caught me as I was about to fly to Beijing.

‘There’s someone else besides me… Is there someone else besides Jogiman?’

I pressed my eyebrows a few times out of fatigue.

I was already in despair seeing Jo Gi-man’s location suddenly fixed in Beijing.

That b*stard probably didn’t go there to tour, so that means there’s a very high chance that b*stard will be there where I go.

‘If you go as Yoon Han-gyeol, you could end up getting killed. Although my ability to hide has improved since I changed jobs… It’s not easy to judge. It’s a real fucking dilemma.’

I wondered if I should go to this extent to help Inessa, but since we made a deal to fight Jogiman together, it was right to help as much as possible.

‘I don’t know about the others, but those two will definitely be helpful.’

It’s something I’ve often wondered about whether Inessa’s full power will be able to hit Jo Gi-man.

It was clear that an old man wearing a goblin mask and sniper Patrick, who were still keeping a close eye on me, would be of great help.

Judging by their magical energy, which has become much stronger than the last time I saw them, these guys must have trained a lot in the meantime.

In particular, the silver long gun that Patrick was holding had been made of something more luxurious.

‘With that gun and Patrick’s ability… It should be able to pierce the body of quite a large monster.’

I had that intuition.

That guy is also the strongest among Inessa’s subordinates.

“You didn’t tell me who the helper was, right?”

“I know very well. As you know, you said that if you reveal too much information to beings related to the future, bad things will happen. You just have to faithfully carry out the mission entrusted to you.”

“······.”

If I have a helper, I’ll tell you sooner damn it-

There were many things I wanted to ask Inessa right away, but she was preparing something of her own while moving deep into Baekun Mountain.

‘Inessa, do you really have to do that?’

I also felt uneasy because it felt like I was helping disaster fall on this land.

My head was complicated, but I needed to simplify my thoughts.

‘You just have to somehow avoid Cao Qiman’s gaze and knock the cat mask off Liu Shaoyue.’

The nuance I felt in the conversation with Inesa was that it was not important to take Liu Shaoyue out, but that was the key.

And the moment she leaves the cat mask, she gives a signal with a ‘whistle’ and Inessa goes to work.

‘What should I do with that…’

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t see any sharp numbers.

In the first place, what can I do when only Liu Shaoyue and Cao Cao, who can blow my head off with just a lift of a finger, can survive?

‘Once you get there, something will come out. Taehyung Jeong!’

“Yes, master!”

We moved to the side of a man in a wheelchair named ‘Jax’.

“If I really go in here, can I go straight into the banquet hall?”

Jax gets angry and hits the wheelchair with both hands in response to my question.

“How many times are you checking this? I told you never to doubt my abilities!”

“What grounds do I have to trust you that much? I understand. But if you can get straight into the banquet hall, there’s no need for a fake ID in the first place, right?”

“······ Is that so? I don’t know anything about that! “I just make what you ask me to make!”

‘Inessa’s subordinates also seem to lack communication with each other.’

Woooung──

A dimensional door where strange mechanical devices and magic stones are connected.

A passage similar to the transfer gate used by the red-haired elf in the past is beckoning me to come into my arms.

Considering that the blue-eyed believer and the red-haired man had invested quite a lot of resources and time into creating the teleportation gate, I was able to see just how great the abilities of the man named ‘Jax’ were.

“That’s amazing…”

Hehe… Still, he’s a guy who recognizes value.”

When I saw him handling an item called ‘whistle’, I thought he wasn’t an ordinary guy, but he is quite capable.

‘··· Is it possible to develop anything that falls under the concept of ‘making’?’

This is understandable to some extent if you think of it as having an ability similar to my skill ‘pension intuition’.

Anyway, since I didn’t have much time, I threw myself into that space with Taehyung Jeong.

* * *

The place we arrived was the galley located in the corner of the banquet hall.

‘The location is exquisite. It’s the best route for Jeong Tae-hyung to escape.’

“Master, I don’t think there’s anyone around, so why don’t you leave right away?”

“Let’s do that. You put on your cloak and quickly.”

“Yes.”

“As soon as you leave, you can take a left turn. In the picture Inessa saw, it says she followed me and went through the back door.”

“I understand.”

Taehyung Jeong decided to respond to an unexpected situation by deploying in the direction I was exiting, and I entered the banquet hall straight away.

It was an event venue that didn’t look any different, but there was a lot of top-of-the-line equipment, including detection barriers, spread out all over the place.

And there were dozens of teams of sensing wizards secretly hidden there.

‘It wouldn’t be easy for even a high-ranking S-class hunter to secretly infiltrate.’

Of course, they were meaningless to me.

– Your [Stealth] Can no longer be recognized by detection magic.

This is because my hiding ability has greatly improved due to my job change.

‘······ Can I really go in?’

Even before entering the banquet hall where the main event took place, I had no choice but to stop walking.

‘There are 1,200 S-class hunters… And there are as many as 20 transcendental people located in a unique space… There is no answer.’

It seems that even his ability to avoid the danger of the ‘enemy’, who was used by Jo Ki-man’s alter ego, will not be able to overcome this difficulty.

Still, not everyone was such a monster.

Among the remaining personnel, there were many who had poor combat skills, but participating in this position would mean that they had other abilities that were sufficient to hold important positions.

‘Trust me.’

I am quite confident in hiding my identity due to my previous job.

I kept repeating that I could do it and quickly moved into hiding.

And the moment I entered, I caught sight of a woman walking with an enormous presence.

‘Crazy… Is that really a human?’

Other than Jo Ki-man, she was the first person to make me feel that way.

Such an overwhelming force.

‘It seems like the timing is a little late. I have to hurry.’

As expected, there were five people wearing cat masks next to her.

‘That’s…’

Five people… No, should I say five people?

‘Those things with dark energy are not spirits…Are they something realized by Liu Shaoyue’s unique abilities? It’s very heterogeneous.’

Five non-human, humanoid creatures.

‘It’s so elaborate that even I’m confused. With Liu Shaoyue’s skills, wouldn’t it be impossible to separate them?’

Perhaps Inessa gave me that task because it was difficult to judge based on just a few brief scenes of foresight?

‘They clearly had no doubt that I would succeed. I don’t know. Those cat masks. There’s so much evil energy in the air.’

However, it was not a sign of their own evil, but rather a feeling that they were hiding something from another dimension within them.

I slowly moved forward, blending into the flow of the venue.

‘Where is this b*stard Jogi-man? It’s definitely right nearby.’

Although I came prepared to give up my life, there was no reason not to be cautious, so I moved more cautiously than ever.

But then.

I felt a different energy, faintly detectable in the wavelength of my senses.

The back of a man with a vaguely familiar aura.

The other awakened people were completely oblivious to the man, perhaps because they were pushed by Liu Shaoyue’s momentum, or because the man had decided to hide his presence, but I could tell right away.

‘Mark of flame…?! That b*stard.’

I could tell right away thanks to the mark swirling over my shoulder.

‘But the body type is completely different? It wouldn’t be surprising if that monster-like guy had at least one ability related to magic, but it felt familiar…’

Carefully expand the wavelength of magical power.

Something didn’t feel right, so I wanted to take a closer look.

Extremely fine control was needed so that only Jogi, who was leisurely sipping wine while seated, could not recognize me.

Even if I concentrated my senses enough to see even his pores, he did not recognize me.

I think it was possible because the timing was such that he weakened his own presence and killed a lot of his spirit. I’m lucky.

‘Phew – good. What on earth did he change his appearance into- ‘

When I examined it with my senses, its appearance was clearly different from its original appearance, which was evil and snake-like.

Smooth skin without any blemishes.

Angled jaw line and jet-black eyes…

From the charm marks under the eyes to the eyes that somehow perceive the world…

‘······ Wait for a second. This crazy b*stard?!!’

For some reason, the man’s face looked familiar.

No, this was a face and body shape I could not recognize.

‘······ It’s me?! W-what is it!! Why do you have to disguise my face?’

It wasn’t just a reverse trick, it was a perfect mimicry of my own appearance. Even the palm prints were copied as if they had been stamped.

Jo Ji-man, who had my face on, even made eye contact with Liu Xiaoyue and started showing off his talents. My face felt so greasy and disgusting?!

At that moment, his presence became extremely blurred.

It goes beyond hiding in a unique space and disguises itself as if it does not exist.

He was aware of it in advance, so he must have caught the guy’s presence, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have noticed.

– Giggling…

The guy is letting out a unique, mocking laugh.

It seems like he is trying to get Liu Shaoyue’s attention by repeating this several times.

And while he was working, he began to faintly feel the energy of a huge being hovering behind him.
