70 – Sky Island (5)
After the group of Fallen Angels suddenly withdrew.
We entered the third sky island unhindered.
It was like a temple built to worship a certain being.
“But why did he suddenly run away?”
Seo Han-bit, jumping off the King Centipede, asked a question.
“I realized the difference in level after being overtaken by Bobbin.”
Baek So-ah, who came down after him, answered with a smile.
The level is different…
To be honest.
I wonder if we would have lost if we had continued the fight.
He didn’t die instantly even though he was stabbed in the vital.
Because it is a monster beyond the scope of common sense, even possessing self-healing abilities close to super regeneration.
‘It was an entity with a name on top of that.’
Azazel.
The Fallen Archangel introduced himself like that.
If it is according to the information in the iron rice bowl.
A Fallen Archangel with a unique name is an out-of-standard existence that ignores the class rules. In other words, it is a monster equivalent to 5 stars.
‘I didn’t show that much power… It could be that he was simply suppressing his strength and estimating our strength.’
If that hypothesis is correct.
It was a situation where it could be completely destroyed.
Kim Young-ji asked So-ah Baek if she had similar thoughts.
“Isn’t that too one-dimensional thinking?”
“What?”
“If you look at their faces, they look like pirates. No, should I say it’s a feat because it flies? Anyway. They came to plunder something from us, but they were difficult to deal with and they didn’t seem to have anything, so they made a rational decision and withdrew.”
It wasn’t the same idea as me.
···It’s done. What do you want
It seems to be explaining something logically, but if you listen closely, it’s all nonsense. What is looting
“Oh. That’s plausible! Yeongji-nim, are you secretly smart?”
“Ahem.”
There was a lot of fuss with the pink hair.
I shook my head and moved my eyes to the iron rice bowl. Bobbin was still figuring out the enemies around him.
—Master. It is estimated that there are still Fallen Angels left.
Bob Tongyi finished detecting and posted a report.
There are monsters still left.
After listening to a more detailed report, it is said that they are a different group from the ones we just encountered.
There was no boss, so there was no need to be very nervous.
While entering the temple like that.
Seo Han-bit stared at Kim Young-ji’s hand and tilted her head.
“What? Yeongji-nim, did you take off your ring?”
“You don’t have to record anymore. Aren’t you going to use only the two islands in front of you as a video?”
As Kim Youngji said.
As for the recorded video to be posted on the homepage, Hapi Island and Tengu Island are sufficient.
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan also said in the beginning that only two islands were used as images. Under the premise that the video is well chosen.
‘I showed off my skills reasonably well on Hapi Island and Tengu Island, and there were many scenes where tension was created, so I must have passed.’
Although the practice goal is five islands.
Two are for video.
The other three were for supplying magic stones and improving skills.
Different from the practice of Daehan Academy.
Our goal is not to catch the dungeon boss.
As much as it is a semi-special dungeon.
There was no shortage of uploading a video with two islands.
‘Because just subduing Tengu Island will have a bigger impact than subduing the boss of a level 1 dungeon.’
The boss of a level 1 dungeon is usually a low to mid level 4-star monster.
Rather than catching one of those guys.
Subjugating dozens of top 3-stars will leave a stronger impression.
‘Although it’s not that big of a difference…’
It wasn’t good that the first video was too excessive.
If the overwhelming difference with the Daehan Academy side is abandoned, the competition will become more overheated and in the end it may lead to an unexpected accident. Intensifying competition will cloud judgment.
The future video is also a problem.
I have to keep uploading videos, but I can’t upload a video that is worse than before.
If you forcefully shoot a video from the beginning, it becomes more and more difficult to meet viewers’ expectations.
‘The Tengu Island video is just right.’
But.
Just because I pulled all the videos didn’t mean I could turn off surveillance artifacts.
I stopped and said to Kim Young-ji.
“Youngji. Put the artifact back on.”
“Huh? Why?”
“Even if you don’t need the video, you should keep wearing it because the purpose is to make sure the instructors are safe in real time.”
“…Ah? Do you think so? I’m sorry, I’ll put it right away.”
After Kim Young-ji scratched her head as if embarrassed.
He took a surveillance artifact from her pocket and put it on her finger.
Seo Han-bit looked at Kim Yeong-ji pathetically.
“Youngji. I’ll cancel what I said earlier when I was smart…”
“·······.”
Anyway, that’s how I ended up checking the artifacts.
We went on a quest following the iron rice cooker.
To the interior of the Black Temple, which is not holy at all, where an ominous aura lingers.
***
The subjugation went smoothly.
‘It’s so weak that it can’t be compared to the group I saw earlier.’
Aside from being ragtag because there is no leader, the Fallen Angels residing on the island were flawed in some way.
As if drunk or drugged.
A guy who staggers and wields a spear.
A guy who gets excited when he sees a girl and tries to take off his pants.
They were literally monsters with the name Fallen Angel.
‘Are these guys special cases?’
The tension was relieved by the effortless exploration.
With my heart relaxed, I left most of the subjugation to the summoned beasts and was lost in thought.
My job.
It was a thought about the Fallen Archangel who spoke as if he knew about the monster summoner.
‘Did I say Azazel? He must have looked at the encyclopedia and recognized my job right away.’
No matter how you think about it, it was strange.
I don’t know if it’s a different job.
Monster Summoner is the only job, so there is probably no information.
But how did Azazel know about my job?
The more I think about it.
Everything was full of doubts.
Also.

‘What is the observer talking about…’
The word observer also came to mind.
Is this a word that refers to an artist?
I heard that the writer of this world is already dead, but another writer has been assigned in the meantime?
Thoughts got deeper and deeper.
Far from answering the question, the question only created another question.
It was a time when my head was complicated and I was frowning.
“I don’t think there are anymore?”
Baek So-ah announced that the subjugation was over.
She strode in front of me and asked.
“What have you been thinking about since before? What’s wrong?”
“…No. I’m just tired.”
I was vague about it.
Baek So-ah seemed to understand.
Because I’ve told you that possession consumes a lot of mana.
“Because of being possessed? Would you like some mana recovery potion?”
“It’s okay.”
I don’t know if it’s because the rice cooker is 4 stars.
It consumed more mana than I thought, but I didn’t show the bottom, and I tried to refuse it because I felt sorry for getting it every time.
“What is okay? Drink it once.”
Rejection was also rejected.
A potion forcibly handed to you.
I drank it right away because it seemed like they would nag me if I said I would drink it later.
‘It’s definitely better. The miscellaneous thoughts disappear.’
My mind became clear.
I don’t know if this is how you get potion addiction.
‘After. I couldn’t do what I wanted to do because I had too many thoughts.’
Originally, on this island, I was going to summon Japhyeonseong.
Sweet Hyeonseong.
A clone golem marked with 2.5 Stars and given a name to 3 stars.
I don’t have much ability.
A while ago, he gave me an Awakening Stone.
It was a summoner-type job.
If a summoner has a summoner job.
Because I can increase the amount without consuming my cost.
It can be seen as the cornerstone for the summoned army.
At first, I tried to hand over the Spirit Sorcerer’s Awakening Stone, but strangely, Jjamhyeonseong stubbornly refused.
That’s why I took it.
It was a hero class job, ‘Golem Summoner’.
Also known as Golem Master for short.
Since Hyeonseong is 2 cost, it made me learn the best summoner class among the hero classes that can be learned.
‘I wanted to make them learn necromancers, but… It’s legendary, so I can’t help it.’
A golem summoned by a golem.
It was a combination that was both odd and suitable.
On the next island, I looked around the rest of the people who were taking magic stones with the thought of not forgetting to make use of the castle.
But one person was missing.
There should be two pink caps.
Only one pink lid was eagerly picking up magic stones.
‘Where did Kim Young-ji go?’
I moved my gaze further to the right.
I found Kim Young-ji standing in the corner of the temple.
What are you doing over there?
Looking at her closely, she was staring at the black wall and muttering something.
“It smells like money…!”
─The smell of money? I’m not? Wow! Smells like you!
Out of curiosity, Kkaebi ran to Kim Young-ji’s side, plugged her nose and backed away from her.
I thought you might get hurt because of that.
Fortunately, I didn’t pay much attention.
She just sat her face against the wall and watched closely.
The moment I tried to approach Kim Young-ji, wondering if he had found a hidden boss room.
Coo goo goo-
Did you touch something?
The wall began to vibrate and split in half.
Soon.
A huge door appeared inside the cracked wall. Next to it were nine buttons protruding.
Kim Young-ji shouted loudly.
“Rice Bowl! Can I press this!?”
···When did the title change like that?
Kim Young-ji recalled her memory of being harshly warned by Iron Bobbin in the back room, and before she started work, she first asked permission from Bobbin.
“What, what is that?”
“Is this a hidden boss room?”
Surprised by the sudden appearance of a secret door, Baek So-ah and Cha Yoo-ra ran to the place where Kim Young-ji was.
The rest of the party, including myself, joined quickly.
The iron rice bowl, which arrived first, was observing the button protruding next to the door.
─It is presumed that you must enter a password to open it.
At a glance, it seemed so.
If it’s a rice bowl, wouldn’t it be possible to figure out the password?
She asked with anticipation.
“Rice bowl. Can you figure out the password?”
─It’s impossible to figure out the password because the hint doesn’t exist. There are other ways to open the door, though.
“Another way?”
Bob Tong summoned a lightsaber.
Resolutely correcting the lightsaber, Iron Rice Bowl lowered his stance and fired fiercely at the wall.
And within.
An iron rice bowl cutting at random on the wall at a speed that is hard for the eyes to follow.
It was like dancing.
Ten seconds later.
─It’s over.
Bob has canceled the summoning of the lightsaber.
At the same time.
Koo-goo-gu-gung!
The intact door collapsed into dozens of equal parts.
What is this…
I don’t even laugh anymore.
Yura Cha and Soah Baek had the same reaction as me.
Kim Young-ji and Seo Han-bit were busy feeding the rice bowl. They are incarnations of father-in-law.
“···As expected, our Brain Iron Rice Bowl!”
“Wow, great! You are so smart!”
—Praise more.
Although there is no change in expression.
Looking at the reaction, the iron rice bowl seemed to be in a good mood.
But wasn’t this ignorant?
I decided to keep those thoughts to myself.
“Then let’s go inside. Are you okay, rice bowl?”
─It is estimated that there are no monsters or traps inside. But in case you don’t know, I’ll take the lead.
─I will lead the way too!
The iron rice cooker takes the lead.
Kaebi proudly jumped out and took the seat next to her.
We followed him and entered through a hidden door.
***
Beyond the door, there was a passage leading to an unknown direction.
‘I’m glad it’s not dark.’
I don’t know what material it is.
A soft light was emanating from the wall itself.
‘But when will it arrive?’
The problem was that the aisles were too long.
I felt like I walked for 20 minutes, but I couldn’t see the end.
While moving like that.
“Guys! Look here!”
Yura Cha stopped in her seat and pointed to one side of the wall.
There was a mural painted there.
A painting presumed to be a monster.
A painting presumed to be an angel.
A figure that is believed to be a demon.
And a picture of a human looking down at them.
“What is this? He has a demon under his command… Human···?”
Baek So-ah looked at the mural and muttered.
Seo Han-bit, who was next to her, looked at a painting presumed to be a human and she talked to Baek So-ah.
“No matter how you look at it, you’re a monster summoner, right?”
“Say something that makes sense. There is no duplication of the only class Awakening Stone.”
“I know that. But then do monster trainers also use encyclopedias?”
“Huh? I don’t know too much about monster trainers…”
“As far as I know, monster trainers don’t use encyclopedias, right? Whoops. Earn 1 win in the intelligence battle…!”
Seo Han-bit was right.
Monster trainers don’t use encyclopedias.
Sure.
The human in that mural.
The figure that opens the encyclopedia and leads a lot of monsters…
He was without a doubt a monster summoner.
