chapter 28
28 – Equipment sharing among summoned creatures
– [Acceleration] Makes the body much more agile.
– Increases reaction speed by 10%.
‘Surely… That’s great. It’s not exactly numerically clear that being agile, but it feels like the body made of bones has become more human-like? This is enough…’
Feeling the ability of the talkative Ran firsthand, I nodded her head and then snorted as I looked at the group of big bores approaching us.
‘Two adults, four almost grown pups. This must be a bit difficult.’
······
The sound of Yeon-hee’s incantation murmured from behind was heard again, and Li-mei was soon summoned and wrapped her arms around her. Perhaps taking that as a signal to start a war, Big Bore screamed.
Quik!!
Perhaps they judged it because they had an advantage, and from the beginning they attacked us with a [Reckless Charge].
[Acid Spray]
As I vigorously turned my head from left to right and sprayed the acid, those who rushed at me hesitated, and I took advantage of that gap to aim for the cubs first and rush.
[Reckless Charge]
As I jumped in to attack the cubs, two grown big boars startled and swerved to follow me.
‘It’s too late, you bastards!’
But my movements, much faster than usual, hit the center of the pups, who were hesitantly looking around.
Pupper puck!!
Two puppies were pushed onto my shoulder and flew away several meters, and at the same speed as they charged, I swung my club and dented the head of one.
Quiyiyi!!
And Yeon-hee moved quickly with more active movements than usual and fired arrows. However, the accuracy rate of arrows shot while moving dropped significantly, and there was no big bore that was damaged by blind arrows.
Nonetheless, the reason Yeonhee’s attack was effective was that it put a brake on the movements of those who, in the end, were all about attacking based on their power.
‘It feels like the level went up by 3 or 4 in an instant. We got a great guy on our side…’
Until now, I had to throw my body at the right time to avoid the Big Bore’s charge, but now I was able to leisurely get out of my seat in advance and hit the vital points of the attacking guys.
f*ck! Quick-!
‘Because I can move better, it’s easier to apply strength.’
“Kyaaak-!!”
But even so, avoiding Big Bore’s charge and fighting was not so easy. Especially for Yeon-hee, who has to attack from a distance, it must be a taste to die for.
In the end, after destroying their formation, they returned to Yeon-hee in stealth.
Then, he returned to the side of Big Bore, who had already had several arrows pierced around him, and charged again.
Pueruk!!
Kkwiik!!
Did the arrow go deep? His short scream was unusual. The guy who flew off after rolling a few laps was actually staggering and couldn’t stand up easily.
‘One guy was subdued…’
“Lime! Go to Ilwol!”
Yeonhee brushed off her arm, and the thrown slime moved to my right arm and acted as a shield, while Ran was still applying [Acceleration] Above my head.
Tadadat-!
So there was no reason to stand still and wait for the attack to come.
‘I turn off all aggro.’
With an exaggerated gesture, they jumped toward the center of the formation where they were standing in a line, and as expected, they pulled their butt back slightly and prepared a response posture.
But running into their huge, sharp horns is tantamount to committing suicide. After reaching a certain distance, spray the acid and run away to the side again, spraying it again when the distance is widened.
In the meantime, Yeon-hee’s arrow attacks continued, and the pups began to fall to the ground one by one.
‘It’s possible to hunt like this because I’m less intelligent.’
Perhaps even if I became a goblin, I wouldn’t be following me on my back.
Ugh- No more…
Then, she felt the energy that had been overflowing in her body disappear, and the shape of Ran above her head slowly began to blur.
(Hmm- I think that’s it for today, master. The first battle was very fun…)
With those words, Ran disappeared.
‘Still, I endured for a long time. After all, the power of an artifact.’
It was difficult to maintain for a while in the first place, but after using it for a few minutes, I was satisfied enough.
Kwiyiyi…
The battle ended with the last Big Boar’s head crushed with a club. The kill message came to my mind, but as expected, I didn’t level up. However, a soft light rose from Yeonhee’s body.
“hehehe- that’s hard.”
In the meantime, Yeon-hee, who suffered so much that dark circles formed under her eyes, sat down in her seat. But after taking a deep breath and contemplating something, he took out a gray summoning scroll.
It must be the reward you just got from leveling up, but is it a different way to summon it in a dungeon?
“I think I need more summons.”
“Tickktoktaktak!!”
She opened her summoning scroll and started casting her spell. Fortunately, there were no enemies around, but she needed to hurry.
Perhaps Yeon-hee had taken that into consideration as well, the speed at which she cast spells became much faster than usual.
And after a while, a familiar portal opened and something small and tall began to walk out of it.
It is.
‘Kobold.’
They have a body similar to that of a goblin, have light green skin, and live in caves like slimes.
It’s less intelligent than a goblin, but stronger, and always carries something like a bag on its shoulder, which is filled with stones and ores.
Even now, carrying a small bundle the size of his head, he was looking around and making a puzzled expression.
“Wow, this is the first child I’ve seen. Is that a kobold?”
Nod-
I’m sure there are some great ones among the lowest level summons, but they are still better than the Skeleton Soldiers. First of all, just looking at the fact that he was carrying that heavy bag of ore, he was basically a strong guy.
The guy with long, pricked ears came up to me and bowed.
‘Hmm? Why is this?’
But he soon realized that he had misunderstood the person he was bowing to, so he stood up again and went to Yeon-hee and knelt down.
“Wow… That’s amazing… Can you hear what I’m saying?”
When Yeon-hee asked a question, the guy who was blank for a moment nodded his head broadly.
‘I’m sure you have some intelligence… I’ll just give you the simplest missions possible. Push away those who approach Yeon-hee together.’
“Okay, now that the situation is the situation, let’s quickly name it and get to work.”
I wondered if I could just go home and build it, but I remembered that her status window came up only after she called my name.
“Yeah, your name is Tung. It’s perfect that you have a grouchy expression hee-“
It was a really insincere name, but when the name was decided, the kobold jumped up and down in place and was delighted.
“Huh? What, is it a gift as soon as we meet?”
And surprisingly, it was a low-level magic stone.
“Hey?! Are you just giving me this?”
Nodding-
When Yeon-hee said thank you, the guy jumped up again and liked it like a child.
‘What kind of situation is this? What is a Golden Goblin?’
Anyway, that was short-lived, and Yeon-hee ordered the kobold named ‘Tung-i’ to stay close to her and block enemies from attacking her.
Then the guy nodded his head with a serious expression, took out several long and large stones from the bag and threw them on the floor.
‘People usually think he’ll throw a big stone, but that guy is different. But is it a little different?’
The jjangdols thrown on the floor were surprisingly similar in shape, but if you look closely, the handles are cute as if a hammer was made to fit a child’s hand.
‘Hmm… I want that.’
Equipment that I wouldn’t have looked at in the past seemed particularly valuable today.
[Tungyi, give me that hammer.]
When I spoke to him, the guy who was silently looking at me with big eyes happily handed me a hammer.
‘Is it easy?’
If you use someone else’s equipment, the performance of the equipment itself is significantly reduced, and it is taboo like superstition among hunters, but what about summoned beasts?
—–
Kobold’s Crude Stonemaul
– ATK +4
– Durability 30/30
—–
‘Ohhh!! Can you write without degrading performance? I’m sick!!’
It even had twice the attack power and 10 more durability than the rough club I was using.
I grabbed a stone hammer that was slightly longer than the palm of my hand and swung it around.
Whilik- Whirik-
“Wow~! The way Ilwol turns the hammer is so cool!”
Huh…
I nodded in satisfaction after demonstrating a more flamboyant swing of the stone hammer.
‘It’s clunky and small, but that’s why it’s rather easy to handle.’
I just summoned a kobold, but it felt like a real windfall because I got magic stones and equipment. Yeon-hee, humming a song as well, grabbed a baby Big Boar and started tearing its hide.
We were able to finish the slaughter without incident, although goblins smelled it and came back and fought one more battle in the middle.
And in that battle, the kobold ‘Ttungi’ performed well in his own way. Although the reaction speed was slow, the difference between having and not having an ally next to Yeonhee made a big difference in the overall situation.
Once I saw that stupid face, I seriously wondered if the reason I wanted to beat him was because he had a passive provocation.
After the battle, after roughly washing away the blood at the lakeside, we started moving towards the exit again.
