A Sleepy Summoner Wants To Rest

chapter 22



22 – 1. Academy (22)

#22

“Keruk?”

That’s why I came back. [The Goblin’s Lair]. I ignored the goblin staring blankly in front of me and warmed up.

“Ke! Kerr?!”

Did he belatedly realize that I was not of my own race but an outsider? I decided where to start when I saw the guy screaming in surprise and running towards me wielding a dagger made of ground stones.

Green skin. Yellow eyes. -Shaped pupils reminiscent of octopuses and goats. A hooked nose that is grotesquely curved even though it has grown long. The limbs are bony, but the body is disproportionate with only the stomach protruding strangely.

It was our punching bag that always looked disgusting.

“Okay. Let’s start with [Fighting] First.”

I strengthened my body with magical power and at the same time cast a shadow over it. The shadow instantly covered the cadet uniform and settled down like a robe worn by adventurers in the game.

Clap

There were gauntlets and leggings that looked quite heavy on the legs and hands. Of course, since the shadow has no weight, it is simply a customized armor that has only increased strength with magical power.

As if to show off that this is the original way to use shadows, unlike when I made weapons, I snorted as I looked at the shadows immediately applied to my whole body without delay.

“More Aggressive”

Wriggling

The shadow moved according to my will. The cumbersome robe that came down to the thighs shrunk down to the pelvis, and thick thorns grew on the tip of the gauntlet’s fist.

The overall volume increased, and I felt that the wrist was fixed more firmly than before. The gaiters were also curved in such a way that they would hurt if hit at the knees and shins.

After confirming them, I faced the goblin that had finally come close to me, took the clumsy fighting stance I had only seen on TV and You Tube, and then leaned toward it.

“Ke!!”

Wheek!

The guy who jumped at me with pleasure swung the stone dagger. I watched it all the way, then took one step to avoid it, and at the same time swung my arm and aimed at the guy’s forehead with the counter.

Kwaduk!

It felt different from when I was hit with a stick in the past. At that time, it was felt by conveying something, but now I can feel the touch of crushing something directly in my hand. The brow furrowed involuntarily at the sharp touch.

“Quan…?”

I hit him like he was knocked to the ground, and his head was completely shattered. Blood splattered in all directions, but I moved the shadows to shake off the clots of blood and flesh that were approaching me.

“…Easy”

That must mean that I have become stronger. No matter how much magic it contained, I didn’t know that it would kill instantly with a single attack, but this is what happened. He was killed so easily that he didn’t even send a message.

I felt the need to go back to the beginning.

Back in the days when I had no mana, so every time I wielded the iron pipe, I used all my strength to wield mana and fight while recovering. At least when fighting, he deliberately lowered his mana and decided to use it more efficiently.

I snapped my fingers thinking of my baby lizard.

Just

“Carlion”

Hwaaak!

Appearing with a group of lights, Kalion did not move immediately and began to observe the surroundings while wiping his eyes with his tongue. I gave him time to adjust to his new space rather than giving him orders right away.

I wouldn’t have done it if I was in battle, but right now it’s time for Kalion, so it’s right to use it entirely for him.

At first, I also thought that Hive and Growl were originally like this because they accepted moving to the dungeon without any inspiration, but after seeing them, that wasn’t the case either.

If you think about it carefully, Hive and Growl may have experienced the experience of suddenly changing the world by moving in and out of the barrier. At the time, I was tired and on the verge of falling asleep, so I didn’t have time to think about the condition of the two of them, so it bothered me.

“Greung~”

Eventually, as if the adaptation was over, the guy who had been blowing his nose for a long time started crying at me. I was told what to do from the beginning of the summoning.

“Do as much as you can.”

“Awesome!”

He immediately went towards the first goblin I had defeated. Then he began to do detective-like things, such as using his front paws to dip some blood that had been splattered on the ground, smell it, and lick it.

Is that like a sub-ryong’s habit? Unlike crows and wolves, sub-dragons are a symbol and product of fantasy, so it was amazing just to see Kalion’s eccentricities.

“Sniff!”

After tasting the blood, he licked his mouth a few times and then spat with a confused expression. I guess it didn’t suit my taste. Well, the first thing he ate after he was born was hatchling eggshell.

I forgot to mention that it was sold as an expensive ingredient for advanced alchemy, but how could something lower than that be noticed?

The guy immediately got up on his feet and looked around, then he started moving quickly. Trees and bushes that grew in the process were crushed and trampled on as if it were natural.

It was not a method of moving efficiently by utilizing skills like Growl, but by ignorantly pushing through with muscle strength. Wherever Kalion passed, there were traces of him passing by.

Thanks to that, my journey was easy. As the guy followed the trail he found his first burak right away.

“Gureureung!!!”

Carlyon started running toward them without hesitation. As his movement gained strength, clear footprints began to appear on the ground, and his body movements became more intense and faster.

“Keeck?!”

“Kerue!!!”

At the splendid appearance of Kalion, the goblins began to gather their companions, each screaming. Carrion suddenly stopped advancing towards the guys who started to advance with their own troops and at the same time flexibly rotated their bodies.

Boom! Phut!

As a result, the long tail swung at the goblins, leaving behind an afterimage.

“Quack…!”

“…!?”

With the sound of air bursting, the goblins flew into the air. Some were dead with their backs folded, as if their spines had been broken, and some were missing as if their fragile body parts had been torn off.

It seems that I remembered the tail whip that I thought was passing by the other day and used it as it is.

With a single swing, 4 out of 10 animals died instantly, and 5 were seriously injured from which they could not rise again. The only thing left intact was one that pushed a nearby colleague and used it as a shield.

Using a friend shield on a goblin subject. It was already a yellow bud. I’m going to have to kill that guy.

I left most of the remaining goblins to Kalion, sat down, and walked towards the goblins who were trembling.

“Kek..! Kakeek…!!!”

He started to walk backwards while brandishing a stone dagger at me, as if his legs were loose. I kicked the little guy down the side and knocked him over.

Puck!

He fell over, grabbed his side and began to twist his body restlessly. He sighed as if he was choking, aiming for the chest of the goblin who couldn’t even make a sound, and put his foot down hard.

“Quyep…”

“Are you sick?”

The goblin started scratching my leg with its sharp claws as if it were trying to make a final effort. But that much can’t pierce my shadow. Whenever he slowed down, I made the weight on his legs stronger.

“Sacrificing my own people just to save myself when there is no cause and no strategy? It’s funny. Right?”

As more than half of his chest caved in, the guy who was ignorantly swinging his arms and legs stopped moving. And then it just stretched out and cooled down. To confirm the kill, I kicked him in the head, broke his neck completely, and then looked away.

“Gureureung?”

The guy who became a criminal with goblin blood looked at me and tilted his head. Checking the number of subjugations is 32. Since I killed 2, it seems that he handled the remaining 30 by himself.

The individual that becomes the base is definitely superior, so it seems to be overwhelming against the small ones. However, as if the scars were not completely absent, there were vital signs all over the scales.

It seemed that there were more things that came from bumping into places while coming here than from dealing with goblins.

It’s okay to heal right away and order a charge, but if you do, you’ll go through the same procedure as Growl. I withheld healing and ordered him to move and fight more efficiently than a simple charge.

“Yes…”

He put on a puzzled expression, as if he didn’t understand my order. You have this difficulty because your intelligence is low. What about this I racked my brain to come up with an easy-to-understand explanation, but I gave up.

Yes, you have to experience a case like this firsthand to know.

“…If you don’t want to get hit, you’ll avoid it.”

“Greung!”

Once this order was easy to understand, Kalion started searching for the enemy again.

Cheer up! Thud!

Looking at the guy who broke down the tree and proceeded immediately, I felt dumbfounded to see if he really understood it, but soon shook his head and followed the guy who was boldly advancing.

“Grrr!!!”

“Keeck…!”

Boom!

[The level of Has risen.]

[The level of ‘S skill [Yeokjin] Has risen.]

[The strength ability has increased by 1.]

The moment he found the goblins, he rushed at them without hesitation and struck them down. Wouldn’t it be no different from being hit and run by a guy with that weight and strength?

In the meantime, when I saw the guy who ignored the already dead guy like a ghost and staggered to find the surviving goblin and began to stomp and kill it, I felt a keen sense of the saying that a child is a mirror of their parents.

It’s really absurd why you just skip the good stuff and learn the bad stuff so well.

This guy is a harmony, so let’s invest in intelligence. You have to understand what I am saying. I am not going to do education or anything else. I was worried that if I continued like this, I would ruin a little bit of my personality.

In that way, we walked the red carpet (?) Made by Karion while deciding on the development policy for Karion.

Hook!

“Ah”

I just turned my head back slightly at the shock I felt on my back, and the black hooded goblin’s pupils trembled as if I saw something in disbelief. Come to think of it, there was a guy like that. An object that moves outside unlike other objects.

Goblin Thief.

I was naturally lost in my thoughts and forgot to be alert, probably because I usually entrusted all of the search and enemy vigilance to Hive.

The stone dagger that fell on the floor had a sharp tip like a skewer unlike other goblins. If he hadn’t put on a shadow, no matter how magically he strengthened his body, he would have been deeply wounded.

I have one more thing to reflect on myself. I went up to him, clearing my neck, which was slightly stiff from the shock.

“Come on”

“…!”

He took a step backwards at my imposing figure, but then, when I provoked him by waving his hand, he took a deep breath and started running towards me. I also corrected my stance, and he swung his fist as if defending against my attack.

Kang!

The guy’s arms naturally went back at the reaction force that was lighter than I thought. I used a diversionary attack on the goblin subject. It uses the same technology as humans.

That is a move that cannot be used without an understanding of swordsmanship. I don’t know if it was set up like that from the beginning or not, but it’s certain that he’s amazing compared to the other goblins.

Come to think of it, was that individual the only thing that had lasted against Graul before? The difference in one evolution is so great. Hive and Graul did too.

On the contrary, it may have been felt more because they leveled up in real time, mastered their skills, and became stronger.

“Fun”

As for the guys I summon at first, only those that become prototypes of that individual are summoned.

In the case of monsters, the feeling was stronger. Maybe that’s why most of them are relatively weak compared to the enemies who got the [List]. Even in the case of Kalion, it belongs to the weak side when placed on the line of the individual [Sub-dragon].

No matter how strong each individual is, the point at which those whose total stats don’t exceed 25 immediately after summoning feel that they are strong enough for one person is just from the moment they passed level 10 and went through evolution.

Beyond that point, this guy must surely belong to the strong axis in line with other goblins.

How strong can these guys get? Will I become stronger if I grow up? If you give them skill books or runes that people use, can they learn skills?

There was definitely a [Sogwi] In the list of summons. After the chronic problem brought about by the long-distance dealer subtitle was resolved, it didn’t seem too bad to experiment and grow this and that.

“Keruk!”

While avoiding the riotous movement of the knife that was approaching and swinging as if it was bouncing, by pulling back slightly as if laying down the whole body, at the same time, he threw his arm out and lightly jabed the guy in the face.

Pang!

With a clear sound of bursting air, the guy’s head bobbed loudly from side to side. The thorns in his knuckles dug into his cheeks and cheeks, so drops of blood splattered into the air.

I took advantage of the moment when he couldn’t come to his senses, he grabbed his hand that was holding his knife and made it impossible to move, then hit him in the face with the other hand in succession.

“Eh…!”

Every time my fist touched his face, I felt the circle collapse. The taciturn guy screamed and attacked my arm with his other hand, but it was blocked by the shadowy clothes, so I couldn’t see any significant effect.

“Sorry, isn’t it?”

I myself feel that this is half tampon. However, if I hadn’t had this equipment in the first place, I wouldn’t have been able to fight like this, so I hope you don’t resent me.

Of course, I have no intention of taking this off for fair play. He’s a monster, after all, and I’m the hunter who catches it. There are people who are worse than me in this world, and if you say that it is unreasonable with just this, then write it.

What I’m doing is just to acquire skills. So I hope you give up as soon as possible and become the experience of my eccentricity.

f*ck!!

“Keepip…”

The last attack tore the black fabric and revealed its face.

Nowhere was intact, all of his teeth were broken, and he was constantly vomiting something thick mixed with saliva and blood. Even so, I felt my spine tremble at the sight of him blowing his murderous eyes at me.

“…Yes, that is it”

Look at that sharp tenacity of thinking that he would absolutely kill his opponent by burning his own life regardless of the difference between weak and strong. I smiled at the heat that seemed like it would burn me if I made a mistake.

“That’s how I feel like defeating myself”

I was conscious of the skill I possessed and raised my magic.

As if in response, dark red energy that seeped out of the guy’s wounds gathered in the air, completing a half-shattered skull. It opened its mouth and began to burn itself, spewing out flames.

The guy staggered away from me as if he didn’t know about the existence of the burning skull. On the contrary, the skull that had already begun to burn came to me as it was.

In that moment, the skeleton, which had fallen asleep and shrunk in size, settled next to me and began to burn in an ominous dark red color.

The fire permeated the magical energy that should have been originally blue and turned it into a dark purple color like blood. It is not a goblin skill or curse. This was the effect of the [Sadism] Skill.

+

[Name: Sadism] [Lv: 4]

[Category: Skill]

[Description: As the target gets tired and suffers, Is acquired. By consuming the created , You can temporarily strengthen your magic power, and the strengthened magic power is given the effect of [Increase Pain]. Even if the target disappears or moves away from a certain range, the effect is maintained for a while.]

[Number of tokens that can be created: 4]

[Intelligence value strengthened when 1 token is consumed: 4]

+

This is the reason why I have killed enemies so that they feel as much pain as possible.

The skeleton, which was half completed the first time I stepped on a goblin and killed it, was fully completed with this fight, so I tried it once.

One token was used. Therefore, right now I am receiving a correction equal to 4 points of intelligence. As intelligence increases, both the quality and quantity of magical power increase at the same time, so it can be seen as a perfect skill for my current fighting style.

More than anything else, what I’m looking forward to is the [Increased pain] Effect that is granted when magical power is enhanced.

To blame!

I quickly approached the guy who was starting to creep away and swung my fist.

Goblin Thief used his dagger to block it and prepared to attack at the same time. It was a strange move he had shown against Graul before.

Only his face was damaged, but his body is intact. There are also those who purposely aimed only at the face for this purpose. If he had wanted to incapacitate, he would have broken an arm or a leg long ago.

New skills are good, but it’s a bit of a waste to rot old skills for stats. If you use it once and know the feeling, you can use it as a means to use it somehow in the next battle.

“Suck!”

Thump!!

I pretended to punch out, then concentrated my magic on my legs and hit the ground hard. At the same time, it moved by penetrating shadows toward the ground. The target is a goblin. Surprised by the energy he felt from the ground belatedly, he jumped up, but it was already too late.

Puquaaak!!

Rather than breaking the momentum of the shadow thorns that soared through the ground, they were shot more sharply and fatally with the correction of the skill [Set Trap].

Pu-wook!

As soon as something shot as fast as an awl penetrated his leg, his eyes opened wide as if they were about to pop out.

“Keee?!?!”

The guy who had endured attacks without letting out a groan-like groan until now began to let out a desperate scream.

As if he had lost the option of running away, he held on to his legs and face and collapsed flat on the ground.

The trembling as if convulsing was no different from that of a worm trembling and crawling.

“…”

Seeing that, I felt a bit drained.

Yes, I understand.

The [Increased pain] Granted to magic not only affected new wounds but also existing wounds. It is because the ‘pain’ itself felt by the other person has increased.

This is no different from feeling the intensified pain from all the wounds all over the body condensed in an instant. It wouldn’t be strange if he lost his will to fight. Rather, making it that way is what the [Sadism] Skill is aiming for.

…But that and my heart cooling down are two different things. This is also effective in its own way, so it’s a skill that suits me who quickly gets bored.

Still, still. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a plausible feeling, but if it’s easily broken like this, I’ll feel like I’ve become a fool.

“Tsk”

If you’re a rebellious guy, you don’t have a hobby of harassing a weak guy who has already been broken. I raised my foot, gathered my magic power, and slammed the Goblin Sif in the head, who had completely lost his will to fight.

Kwaduk!
