216. Unsuitable (1)
Me and the spirit returned to Taoni.
Isel’s manipulation of the log made it seem to Amkena that we were in the dungeon every day of the week.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t been away for a day or two, so there was plenty of room for suspicion, but since there was no evidence, nothing special happened. Amkena continued operations as usual.
By collecting resources from the ruins, there was no problem in terms of quantitative improvement.
He could pick out hundreds of lesser heroes if he wanted to. In the hangar, the third airship, Tia, was completed, and the fourth and fifth airships were under construction.
And as the power increased to some extent, Amkena sent the first party to the 46th floor.
Their mission is to bring Freea, who is trapped on a floating island, to the surface. The mission was as expected.
I stole the church’s airship that had been wandering around the outskirts of the floating island, and I was able to safely escape Freea to the surface.
Up to this point, it was just fine like the other sub stages.
A few enemies appeared, but they were negligible enough to pass without much difficulty.
But it won’t be on the 50th floor.
This will probably be the biggest mission since I started attacking Taoni.
According to Gugukon, there is a high possibility that the named monsters I encountered on the 45th floor, such as the Beast King and the Saint, will pop out all at once.
Those guys can’t compete with quantity.
Even if you send a lot of thugs, you will only be massacred.
I had to put an end to it by bumping into an elite hero.
‘It’s an elite hero.’
The heroes who could be called the elite of Taoni were members of the 1st and 2nd parties.
There were 10 of them in total, and they had a significantly higher growth rate than heroes of other generations.
Among them, it was definitely 1 party.
Including the top 4-star Kishasha, the magician Katio, the overwhelmingly talented Jenna, and the fighting spirit Belkist, and finally me. Even if you moved to a tolerable copper level account, there were only heroes who could go to the first team.
‘The problem...’
is that the difficulty level of Taone is not normal.
It was basically made with difficulty, and the prince, who could deal with interference, made a mess.
Although I became stronger by obtaining Black Dragon Blood, I feel that I am not enough alone.
Of course, with enough time, the party members could catch up with me, but we didn’t have much time.
It was necessary to increase power in a short period of time.
The easiest way to strengthen a hero in a short time
is to raise the level of imprinting.
“So...”
[Let’s call in another ancient species.]
My private room located on the 4th floor of the training center.
Gugucon is diligently pecking at the feeder.
There were so many pigeons coming here, so Kishasha installed a feeder and water bottle.
[It won’t matter if you fully control my power, but you’re still far short of it. Dude lazy guy. With that much talent, he could only use 3 levels. If I used your body, it would be by now... Oops!] As
I grabbed his neck, Gugu-Kon cleared his throat.
[Anyway, look at this.]
Gugukon held out what he was holding with his wings.
Small, light gray scales, it was old, worn-out keratin.
It was an item picked up by a hero who went out to the exploration dungeon, and the item name was ‘unidentified skin’. It was one of the japtem that Amkena tried to get rid of because I couldn’t tell where it was used from the description alone.
[These are the scales of the prickly bastard]
“It’s a prickly bastard.”
[This is Asinis, the white dragon.]
If you are Asinis, you are one of the progenitors of the 4 Taoni families.
It was a monster on the same level as the black dragon Halgion.
[If I use this as a catalyst, I think I can summon him to Advent.]
“Summon an S-class Advent monster with one scale?”
I clicked my tongue.
What allowed me to summon this guy was the power of the highest grade Advent Stone.
Of course, there is no way there will be any left over. It was all I got from the battle royale prize.
Top-notch Advent Stones do not come from ruins.
“Right now, I don’t have any Advent Stones to use.”
[I don’t need such troublesome things. As long as you let me into the dungeon, I’ll call him.]
Kok kok kok.
Gugu-Kon diligently ate the food while talking.
[Did you open the second seal?]
I narrowed my brows.
I guessed what Gugukon was talking about.
As a 4-adult, I only had one imprint that I could retain.
In order to add an imprint slot, it had to be upgraded to 5 stars.
In other words, you can have two imprints only when you have 5 stars.
‘Level 55.’
“What are you talking about?”
“They say that if someone who doesn’t know how to use that power, it will break.”
“Ask me to find out too. Am I special?”
The dove flapped its wings wildly.
Looking at Gugukon’s reaction, it seemed that there was nothing special about Belquist.
They are just ordinary human beings with extraordinary talents.
‘but.’
It wasn’t a matter for me to decide in the first place.
It’s up to you to decide whether or not to take that power.
“I don’t think so. What a disappointment.”
“I’ll say it again...”
“Needless to say it’s dangerous.”
Belquist already has an imprint.
It was an imprint related to the wild nature, a mental skill, and although it was not a high grade, it was a versatile and safe ability.
If Belkist wanted to obtain the White Dragon Blood, he would have to erase the imprint first.
[I can’t guarantee that Asinis will like this guy. Then you die!]
Belquist released the dove from his hand.
A dove with its leash loose, it screamed and spread its wings.
[This cheeky Thunder Naked! I’ll cut
it into pieces when my body’s strength returns!]
“don’t mind.”
“I will.”
Let’s see.
I assumed White Dragon Blood as an S-class imprint and calculated the probability of clearing Advent Dungeon and imprinting considering the current Belkist’s rank and ability.
‘About 2 percent.’
Do you have to try 50 times to succeed only once?
It was an irrational move that I would never have tried if I were the Master.
It was the same after success.
Abilities that do not match the hero’s level sometimes cause a runaway.
Just like when I used Yongseongrak, the pollution state was triggered. At that time, I was able to escape somehow using the power of Gugukon, but there is a high possibility that Belquist will not be able to help.
“I know that it is contaminated because I heard from the archer.
“...”
“So, do you intend to allow it?”
[This guy can’t believe it... To a mere insignificant human... our great power...!]
I put a feeder in front of the struggling Goo-Goo-Kon.
“Eat a lot today. If you want something to eat, I’ll prepare it for you, so tell me.”
“Gu-gu-gu-guk!”
I buried Goo-Goo-Kon’s beak in the feeder
and whispered very softly so that only Goo-Goo-Kon could hear.
“I think this is correct.”
[Again, we cannot guarantee the lives of your subordinates!]
“I know. But, he said he would do it unconditionally, but how can I stop him?”
I know better than anyone else that Belquist is working hard.
He trains to death from morning till night, never stopping until he is sweaty and bloody.
If I had gone to another account, I would have been treated as the first person and played the role of an ace. He was such an excellent guy. but... Unlucky.
‘If you have enough talent, effort, and mental strength, there must be an opportunity after all.’
In the past, I would have rejected it with a single knife.
Even if it fails, it will be a huge loss.
However, seeing Aaron who mastered karma, he changed his mind a little.
It may be a vain expectation, but I decided to walk there.
‘I can’t fight alone forever.’
I don’t need a subordinate to clean up.
What I needed now was a colleague who could fight shoulder to shoulder next to me.
[It’s a power that doesn’t suit criminals.]
“Where is such a thing? Just help.”
I released my hand that was holding down Gugukon’s head.
The pigeon with its beak removed from the feeder glared at Belquist.
[Huh, thousands of times I wonder what kind of ending those who have the illusion of easily becoming stronger...]
Gugu-Kon, who was staring into Belquist’s eyes, fell silent.
and said in a whisper.
[This guy is crazy.]
“...” [
Hey, I’m not responsible no matter what happens
.
Gugukon picked up the skin of the white dragon with his wings and walked outside.
