85 – 2. ■■’S Summoner (30)

#85

“…Ha”

As I consciously exhaled, white breath stretched out into the air and scattered.

It was very cold here even though there was only the full warmth of spring in May, which was not even cold anymore.

Because this place was inside a dungeon.

“It’s filthy cold.”

I let go of my complaint and added more magic power to the shadows that enveloped my body, completely reducing the area of the skin.

I don’t know if it’s because she has a faint fire-attribute aura due to the effect of her title [Burner], Or it’s because she simply used magical power to increase her body’s strength and increase her resistance to the cold, but the coldness was pushed away in an instant.

Only when the chill that seeped into his bones passed, his gaze returned to his surroundings.

I could see the pitch-black spire standing in contrast to the other side of the white plain where the cold snow prevailed.

It seemed to prove that the tower was still alive, as if I had just breathed out.

The moment I clearly saw that scene, a system notification popped up in front of me.

Diring!

[Quest occurs!]

[A strange feeling has been found in the northernmost polar region, where not even humans live, nor even wild animals.]

From noble mtl dot com

[As a result of feeling the strangeness and searching, I was able to find out the existence of a tower made by machines where everything is made of machines.]

[You are an investigator commissioned by the Principality of Adenbuha to investigate the tower.]

[But to the machines here, you are no more and no less than an intruder.]

[Avoid the merciless attack of machines and show your skills.]

[Mission: Reveal the identity of the tower. Or Silence all machines.]

[This mission is a performance system. You can get higher rewards when you achieve higher achievements.]

“B-class missions are also different…”

The one I entered last time had the power of an evil god added to it, and it had a strong feeling that it ended with simply catching the boss, so it should be seen as an exception.

In that respect, I could see that this dungeon was a proper quest-type dungeon in its own right, as there were many useless conditions listed.

The name of the dungeon I entered is [Mechanical Tower in Snow Country].

As I said earlier, this is a B-Rank dungeon.

Of course, this dungeon is a dungeon that sits in a low position among the B ranks.

Generally, the higher the rank, the stronger the tendency to necessarily catch the boss of the dungeon. Even though this dungeon is B rank, the reward is relatively low thanks to the non-combat condition of ‘reveal the identity of the tower’ among the conditions, but relatively easy. Because you can clear the dungeon.

Still, the reason why I chose this dungeon. That is, this dungeon is a dungeon with connections.

Should we say that he is the original owner of the data found on the island of midterm exams? To be precise, this dungeon is the starting point for the boss monster of the A-rank dungeon, where that person was used as the main ingredient for the girl who appears to be an android.

I think there are people who have read the system so far and roughly predicted it, but the dungeons in this world were cut and fixed from the past or history of another dimension, and it was similar to experiencing the history of that time period.

Thanks to that peculiarity, some dungeons are thought to be the future or past of other dungeons.

The problem is that the past does not necessarily mean that it is weak. Rather, there are times when it is more troublesome or stronger because it is in the past, and there are times when it is easier or weaker because it is the future.

This dungeon is a dungeon that corresponds to the ‘past’ of the A-rank dungeons in the data.

Why is such a dungeon in the academy? It was because he had heard from Hong Soo-ah that this dungeon was the place to get the raw material for the Guardian, which was often used at the academy.

That’s exactly what I heard.

After the last black magician’s attack, the academy received a notice that they were asking the remaining teachers to obtain materials from this dungeon in order to increase the operation of the guardian.

At the time, I didn’t have much interest in it, and I didn’t want to know about being a guardian, so I passed on it, but now it was different.

I was able to learn from the island’s data that the advantages brought by machines, that even though they are not living things, you can think close to living things, and that the possibilities beyond living things are endless.

Just reading this material made it clear that the author had a great deal of pride and attachment to machines.

At first, I thought it was just a simple metamorphosis in which the shape of the important core was separated and made into a girl’s form, but the philosophy (?) And the quality of the information contained in it were so precise that I could stick out my tongue even after seeing my bizarre taste. It was professional.

The conclusion I came to after reading all of them and thinking about them is why I am here now.

Summoning my familiar requires specific information about the entity. I can’t disassemble what is in charge of the center of the island, so I have to do it my own way by adding the data obtained from the island to the basic base.

In that sense, I am here.

“Haze.”

[ (ㅇ .ㅇ)) ?]

At my call, the air tore apart and a chat window and emoticons appeared.

After Haze evolves into a space spirit, the time to cancel the summon is reduced, just like Hive.

The strength of the spirit is that it cannot be seen from this side unless materialized.

As much as they have personality, they have stealth as well, which explains why spiritists who specialize in dealing with spirits are so popular.

Well, in my case, I’m leaving troublesome errands to this guy in the name of raising the level of Heize’s [Space Manipulation] And [Mark].

It was a bit awkward at first, but as I was connected with [Link], I was able to properly narrow the gap as I got used to receiving feedback right away.

This isn’t just to deal with my annoyance. As I said before, the main purpose of this process is to make [Space manipulation] Safe and skillful.

In fact, just the things Heize cut in half and killed during that short period of time could fill a 100L garbage bag.

It was really fortunate that there was a mart inside the academy that could deliver parcels.

Of course, every time the courier driver came and went, he tilted his head, and in the end, his complexion turned pale and he dropped the item while shaking, but that’s not my business.

Anyway, because of the sacrifices of those things, the proportion of cutting them in half and killing them has dropped to about 20%.

Yeah, even though I’ve gone this far, there’s still a 20% chance of failure, so I decided to target things that didn’t matter if I smashed them.

I have to disassemble it anyway, but I think it would be easier if it was split in half.

Once I ordered Hive to release crows around me, and as I got closer to the tower, the floor of my eyes opened from the other side, and a machine equipped with what looked like a machine gun appeared and began to point its muzzle at me.

Until the barrel is charged

At the same time as the noisy voice that could have come from an old radio, the gun barrel started to light up. But the muzzle did not fire.

[ ⁽⁽(੭ꐦ •̀Д•́ )੭*⁾⁾ ]

Because Haze rushed at me in a furious rage just for the reason that the attack was directed at me, and their necks and bodies were split into thirds.

As the accuracy of space manipulation has improved to 80%, it is possible to attack by separating and cutting off the space limited to the desired part, so it seems that such skills have become possible.

Perhaps it was my intention to leave the machine intact as much as possible through [Link], As it was located here on the premise of disassembly.

But this time, that consideration worked for the worse.

It seems that important organs were concentrated on the side of the head that remained intact, and the connection with the body was cut off, and information about us was transmitted through dangerous power that was slowly extinguished.

Guggggg…

At the same time, a huge driving sound began to reverberate from the tower over there.

The aftermath felt like an earthquake even far away. Unless you’re an idiot, you’ll know that something dangerous is coming.

[ (; ・`Д・´) ]

Embarrassed by that fact, I tapped on the chat window as if knocking, feeling that Heize, who was watching me, didn’t care.

“I was going to wipe it out anyway, so it’s okay.”

The important thing is from now on. There is nothing more incompetent than not being able to do anything because you are so preoccupied with the topic that you have been working on. Rather, it is important to know how to resolve this situation.

This is the reason why I didn’t deliberately summon people other than Heize.

Because Bihos, which was created around the same time, has undergone the evolution of the relatively shady side of poison, it has become a quiet and prudent personality like an assassin who values secrecy.

Should I say that I already understand what is the most important thing in group life because I have the racial characteristics of bugs?

On the other hand, Heize was like a bouncy ball that didn’t know where to bounce. In terms of feeling, it should be seen that it is closer to Kalion before evolution.

Since the ego has barely been made whole through evolution, it won’t be much different if you look at the situation alone.

I was immature in many ways compared to the reaction I just had and the strength I had. No matter how many times I teach these things, they don’t come into my head properly. No, even if you remember it, your body will stop moving when you encounter the situation.

At times like these, the best thing to do is to experience things for yourself and imprint them on your body.

“You know what?”

You should know what I’m thinking even if I don’t have to say it. If you’ve seen something in the past and forgot this simple thing, you might have to change your policy going forward.

As I lowered my head slightly expressionlessly and looked at Heize as I spoke, the emoticon dripping in a cold sweat nodded and began to agree with my words.

It looked exactly like the blue sea otter in its previous life, perfect for eating college assignments. Maybe it’s because he was created based on my soul.

I slightly narrowed my eyes at that figure and made a gauntlet of shadow and transformed it into a bow.

“Go.”

Looking at the group of hundreds of machines flying rapidly towards this direction, leaving behind clouds on the other side, I quickly built an arrow. Haze immediately began to add his magic power and wind power to the arrow.

‘It’s faster than before.’

The form of arrows and bows began to change rapidly from the moment I wanted to use them, perhaps because they had already been established as a skill.

It is natural that a gap arises as much as a certain amount of charge is needed, but the means to earn that short gap are overflowing for me.

“Hive.”

“aaah!!!”

At my command, the hive that came out of the shadows immediately began to scatter a large number of shadow crows.

Then, without the slightest delay, the Shadow Crows began to rapidly fill the stacks of [Taken] While clinging to the approaching machines and obstructing their path. I unsparingly pour out my ever-growing mana and reload my attack.

Then, at a certain point, I strongly pulled the protest.

“.”

In addition to the skill name that came out of my mouth, the natural magical powers around me also joined in to assist my attack. I released the attack built up like that by releasing the strength of my hand.

Tooung!

In the first aftermath, the eyes around me were pushed out in all directions, revealing an intact floor.

I didn’t hesitate to make a shield and slam it down on the soft ground, which was wet with snow and had a dark color, and then I hid myself there. At the same time, the hive that returned to me crept into the shadows.

Haze had already released materialization and fled from this place. I immediately use the shadow to protect my ears. The moment I counted exactly 3 seconds in my mind, an intense storm struck my shield.

The aftermath was so strong that part of the shield embedded in the ground was bent and the ground began to dig. I persisted though. It was a natural result because I calculated the strength enough to withstand it.

“Not bad.”

It wasn’t just my own power, but the [Subjugator]’S heightened magic power was poured generously, so the grain of power was definitely different. I thought it was okay to use it the other day, but it was so powerful that it blew away half of the city.

Well, compared to Kalion, it’s on the level of aegyo, but that’s only a story when it was used by a fraudulent race called a dragon. It is too dangerous a power for a mediocre citizen to use.

Don’t be conceited. What I’m capable of is that other guys can use this level of power.

On the contrary, the future that may have to deal with an enemy who uses this power has become more bleak.

“Whoa!”

I brushed my hair once with a sigh as if I was brushing off annoyance and depression. No matter how much I thought about sweeping it away, it was still too much. That’s how you can’t raise other guys.

The next time I use it, it seemed better to adjust the mana a bit.

Quooooo!!!

As I let go of the shadows around my ears, the air that had been pushed back by the direct hit filled the air with the sound of the rough wind.

I enjoyed watching the snow clouds intermittently intermittently dissipate and created a mysterious scene where only the surroundings of the city were covered in clouds.

There are no machines once placed in the sky. The ones that fell also stopped working immediately, as if the impact was great, and the ones who were facing this way from the ground were not in a frenzy, as the aftermath was quite large.

Moreover, the tower on the other side could not escape from the aftermath, so I could see cracks everywhere or it was collapsing altogether.

From noble mtl dot com

However, it was also possible to see that the collapsed area was quickly restored at a comparable speed. It belongs to the weak axis, but it is said that it is a famous B rank, and even a lumber that may be able to become an A rank dungeon.

For no reason, I wanted to test how far I could recover by shooting an arrow at the tower, but I held back.

“Take care of the small rodents. Do some practice.”

[ (-Ω-ゞ ]

I materialized again and got a glimpse of the guy I had allegiance to, then I flicked my magic with my fingers to summon Growl and rode behind him. What I have to do is the guy in the center of the tower.

I was honestly curious about that.

I was able to create an artifact as a dungeon boss. That’s a proven fact. Then wouldn’t it be possible to make a summoned beast with the corpse?

It didn’t seem like it would be completely impossible to use the function of offering a sacrifice in the summoning book.

It is unknown whether or not it will go to the summoned beast. If you don’t go to the summoned monster, it’s enough to absorb the boss you subjugated to the summoned summoned monster again later.

Boom!!

A shower of bullets rained down from all directions as if they had been waiting for the moment they broke through the blocked door as if they were forcefully breaking it down. I immediately made a shield out of shadows to defend myself, and Graul also defended himself using a magic wand.

As I couldn’t seem to stop, I ordered Graul to move and at the same time lengthen the shadow, set a trap with thorns rising towards one of the bullets flying, and immediately activated it.

Quaang!!

At the same time as the sound of the explosion, the bullets fired from one side stopped. I took advantage of that gap and kicked Growl’s body, and as if in response, Growl also quickly ran out of range and only then could I see the enemy shooting.

“Huh…”

The back of the robot in the form of a dog opened, and two machine guns were placed there. The size is definitely smaller than what we saw earlier, but the number is overwhelmingly large.

After leaving those words, a light flashed on the screen on his face, and as he ran toward me, he self-destructed.

If Graul hadn’t moved quickly and pulled back, he would have inhaled the black smoke.

“This is a bit upsetting.”

I often use the advantages of being a machine. As long as the main body is safe, I sweep my hair, which has been scattered with explosions, in response to the standard destruction method of sending out infinite attacks and trying to figure out the number of moves this side can make and attack them.

Contrary to the word annoying, there was a smile on my lips. That’s because the expectation that I might be able to make this guy my summoner inspired me.

“Must make.”

For the first time in a long time, I burned the firewood called emotions. It’s not that I can’t make it. Make sure If once isn’t enough, repeat twice more until that’s not enough.

With this, it is possible to be one step closer to my perfect peaceful future life. The part that I thought was lacking with summons alone was definitely filled with this.

Shadows are formed. The shape is optimized for disassembling the machine.

A variety of tools that can be decomposed from coercive to delicate are embodied as shadows and fixed as if they are tied to my side. If necessary, it can change its form and move by adding magic power at any time.

“I know what you are looking at.”

I smirked at the CCTV-like thing that was monitoring this place.

“I will definitely eat as much as you do.”

Raise the sword of shadow and sentence it. Then, for a moment, I had the illusion that the camera in the CCTV had moved.

No matter what happens to you, I will definitely kill you and make you my food. So if you want to live, struggle. Block me by burning circuits and constantly calculating.

Show me what you can do.

I’ll put it all together and let you know. Even if you were the owner of this place until now, I will make sure you understand that now that I’m here, I have to let go of that position.

“Go.”

I hope you can slander me in a little more variety and entertain me. If I get too tired of it, I feel like I’ll kill myself without even realizing it.

Information and ingredients are the same. It is best extracted when fresh and alive.

So, until the time when you notice your own death and predict that there is no chance of winning, please, please, desperately dance for me.

I came down from the top of Graul and straightened the blade containing the power of magic and cut it down. The image is nothing different from usual.

Wields a sword. As if to prove that his reputation as a spirit of space is not in vain, Haze added his magical power to my sword of shadow despite being far away.

If you explode it like this, the lower part of the building will split in half. But I deliberately suppressed the power.

I’m going to have some fun now, but it won’t be fun if it’s already over.

Scak!

There was no shaking at the tip of the sword that he swung without hesitation.

All that remains is the ceiling, which was broken as if it were cut in half, forming a stair-like shape, and the figures of gigantic machines waiting through the opening.

Seik

I couldn’t help laughing when I saw that. Is it because it feels like you’re competing against someone? It was a pleasant feeling after a long time.
