Chapter 116
Seol was breathless after unleashing that monstrous attack.
“Haah... Haah...”
No one could have expected that he had enough strength to knock an ogre’s head straight off.
[Your mana is currently below 5%]
[You have mana deficiency.]

[You have overused your mana all at once.]V/\IssịT for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce
[You are afflicted by Abnormal Status: Dizziness for a day.]
[The cooldowns for your skills are increased by 10%.]
It was clear the risk Seol took had a price.
‘It’s reasonable, though.’
Seol would have been the first person to suspect something was off if a skill capable of ripping a monster’s head off had no risk.
‘I should use this as a finisher... or a gamble.’
Iron Fist Rule could only be used while Seol was in the Night Crow form and used the majority of his remaining mana.
This wasn’t something he could fix by increasing his maximum mana either.
‘I guess the only hope is either increasing its proficiency or changing the skill entirely?’
It was a thought that would infuriate any Adventurer who heard it, considering they were limited to the skills they were given.
However, Seol had the option to create more skills.
Regardless of the situation, acquiring a new skill was always something to be happy about.
In the first place, Seol had no use for his mana other than for Shadow Hand. His summons could take care of everything independetly without Seol doing anything.
It was a definite step forward since he at least had a use for his large mana pool now.
Seol stood on the headless ogre’s corpse and looked down on the party members watching him.
Rustle...
He looked almost mystical as the sun set behind him.
Seol did not intend for this, but it still made him appear like an all-powerful solo player.
“Woah...”
“H-Hyung, you’re that...”
“Seol, you’re...”
[‘Oi’ has donated 1200 Madness!]
[That’s my seat]
- HE LOOKS SO COOOOOL!!!
- Snap! Snap! Snap!!! (Shutter Sounds)
- No... Photos...
- Woah... Is he really the same loser summoner who hid behind his summons?!
[‘Ogre Fist?’ has donated 1000 Madness!]
[Wrong! This is the Night Crow Troll Fist Era!!!]
- Troll Fist! Troll Fist!
- You’re a god!
- I lost my fucking mind at that...
- TF! TF! (TF means Troll Fist now)
- Dopa, is TF mid good right now?
[‘Roach’ has donated 1300 Madness!]
[I don’t really like this, though... This is different from what a summoner usually does... Shouldn’t a summoner be using their summons? Why is he punching people now? Don’t worry! CESCO killed any fucking roach saying that ^^!]
- I believed in you, POSCO!
- It’s not them!
- As expected from UNESCO!
- Not them either!
- That was pretty spicy, Tabasco-kun!
- ......
Karen and Karuna slowly approached Seol.
“Was that you, Jamad?”
“No.”
“It was Master? Woah... that was pretty good... I was shocked.”
Seol in the Night Crow form, Karen, and Karuna.
The three of them were much more threatening and menacing than the three trolls they defeated.
Somi’s party couldn’t talk properly from the pressure they exerted.
Who would have guessed that the summoner they thought could only cook was this powerful?
Munho mumbled a bit before finally being able to say a word.
“Hah... Haha... I-I guess things ended up this way...”
“R-Right...?”
“We’re... alive, though, right?”
Fwiiirl...
Seol exited the Night Crow form.
As he returned to his original state, Somi sighed long, relieved.
“Phew... You’re not going to eliminate us, though, right?”
Seol asked back incredulously.
“Eliminate you?”
“Like in movies where the guy goes, ‘You saw something which must not be seen...’ and kills the others. So...”
Only Somi could have such strange delusions.
“Ah, nothing like that.”
Munho and Gyeongtaek both sighed after that.
A pair of gloves made from the silk of Dream Silkworms, exported from Mirshen. The silk from Dream Silkworms is worth more than its weight in gold. There are even myths about the silk bringing great fortune to the people wearing it.
However, the fact that the previous wearer of these gloves died only serves to prove that it is simply a myth.
Basic Effect: +9 Intelligence, +14 Wisdom, +10 Constitution
Bonus Effect: Feels comfortable on the skin, as if it melts onto it. Corrects all actions made with the hands slightly.]
Seol took off the Gloves of Spirit Protection and placed them into his inventory before immediately equipping his new gloves.
‘If it’s ‘all actions made with the hands,’ it should also include combat.’
That effect made this item more than worth it, as it would inevitably help him when he was in the Night Crow form.
Not to mention, the other effects were good too.
‘A Fighter item with Wisdom is rare, after all.’
- Summoner during the day, Fighter at night...
- He basically has two classes...
- Any item would be good for him now LOL
“Uhh... Hyung...”
“Hm?”
“Did you get anything good?”
“Not really/ The Adventure might have been a bit too easy.”
- Stop. You’ll make your Treasure-quality gloves cry LMFAO
- If you consider the items he got so far, yeah, it’s a bit lacking!!!
- Gyeongtaek: Ah... Did Seol hyung even get items?
- Will this child ever stop being hungry?
“Oppa! You know about that, right? Let’s do it!”
“About what? What are you talking about?”
“Have you ever been in a party before?”
Seol thought about it, and he realized that he hadn’t. Seol had always been alone during his Adventures.
As such, Seol didn’t respond. He didn’t want to admit it himself.
“He just didn’t understand you because you said it weirdly, noona. Hyung, she wants to exchange items. You know how people exchange items with each other after getting the loot? She’s talking about that.”
“Ah, I thought it was something else.”
Even though Seol said that, he had no idea about a tradition like that. It seemed like it was a widely spread culture amongst transferees.
Place... Place... Place...
The party members placed their items on the ground one by one.
‘Hm?’
The items were so bad that Seol questioned if they were even rewards.
The first items that they showed were Special-quality items.
Seol specifically didn’t show the Special-quality equipment he acquired as he considered them trash. But it seemed like his party members still considered those items as equipment.
- I feel like... the gap between the rich and poor is showing...
- The middle class is disappearing? Huh? Why don’t they just work harder?!
- The rich will never understand the feelings of the commoners.
Even so, some of their equipment caught Seol’s eyes.
It was the Rare-quality necklace that Somi put down and the Rare-quality ring that Munho put forth.
They were both fairly good equipment for combat-based classes.
In Seol’s case, those items were great as a temporary measure before he could give his summons good items.
“Ah! You got Necrowood? That’s Necrowood, right?”
“Ogre’s Fang! I was hoping for that. I can’t believe you got it!”
Luckily for Seol, they also seemed to have desired his items.
‘Necrowood is a great material for a bow, and Ogre’s Fang is good for daggers.’
Somi approached Seol with expecting eyes.
“Are you going to use that? Hm? Are you using it? Would a summoner even need Necrowood? Hm? The best you can do with that is plant it in your front yard, no?”
“Those fangs have a low chance of dropping when hunting ogres... Getting two of them when you hunted three ogres is natural. So... Um... Those fangs...”
Seol exchanged his materials for their equipment. It was a good trade for both parties.
Before pressing the button that would conclude the Adventure, Somi handed Seol something.
“Oppa, this...”
“A piece of leather? Why...”
“Could you please sign this...? If you use a knife, the signature will last. I plan on adding this to my weapon, so...”
- Snowman’s a celebrity?
- Ah... I guess that’s what it’s like to be famous...
Seol looked confused as he received a knife from her, but still signed the piece of leather like Somi had asked him to.
“Could you also add, ‘You’ll get into college next year, Somi. From Seol oppa...’ too? Include the ellipses too, make it sound like you really mean it!”
“...How are you sure we’ll make it back to Earth within a year?”
“I’m just trying to use it as a good luck charm.”
- I hope you’re always happy (Snowman)
- The food here was great! (Private)
- I hope you get a lot of customers (Kang Seol)
Seol always felt drained of energy whenever he was around Somi, but he wasn’t sure why. Regardless, her bright personality and energy also made him feel better.
The party all ended the Adventure at exactly the same time.
Gloooow
They all began being transported to near Nobira.
Since it was Seol’s first time being transported with other people, he had an unfamiliar feeling in his chest.
“Phew... We somehow made it back alive.”
“Seriously, each and every Adventure is like hell.”
As Somi and Gyeongtaek began quarreling with each other again, Seol opened his interface.
He and his party members all received the same message.
