Chapter 17 – Second Summoning (4)
I was a little dumbfounded by the fact that Ellie suggested that we hunt monsters together.
“I didn’t know Ellie would suggest first.”
“Jinunnim said she wants to fight with us. In that case, it is important for me to be able to develop my strength in a situation where I can keep her safe.”
I think they probably decided that it wouldn’t be a problem as long as it was the level of the monster I could catch now.
“Yes. I would be grateful if you suggested it first. I was planning on asking you to do it first.”
“Yes. Then shall we go?”
I moved with Ellie while equipped with Gram and Centurion armor.
“How far did you go on the quest?”
“I was almost done. With only one last thing left, I heard Jinu’s voice and a thud and ran over.”
After all, it’s Ellie.
You’ve already done 5 out of 6?
It’s faster than last time.
Unlike last time, where I grabbed more than needed, I think it’s faster because I caught it according to the quantity of quests.
“Have you already got one? That’s really fast. What’s left?”
“Hmm… It’s a monster called a goblin.”
“It looks like the enemy is too much for an F-class quest goblin. Alright, let’s give it a try.”
“Then let’s look for the monster.”
With those words, I looked at the floor and started looking for traces of the goblin.
But Ellie didn’t do that.
On the spot, she raises her mace above her head.
“Ellie? What are you doing?”
“Please wait a moment. Let me locate the goblin.”
No, what does that have to do with finding goblins?
Having no idea of Ellie’s intentions, I decided to just watch.
Ellie momentarily went into battle mode, imbuing the pandemonium with divine power and slamming it hard against her floor.
She thought that with the strength Ellie had seen so far, the floor would shatter, but unexpectedly, the floor only sank slightly.
Then, when she looked at Ellie’s posture, she realized that Ellie had used the Paladin skill.
The skills she used were 〈 Fury Wave 〉.
One of the Paladin’s basic skills is to put divine power into a weapon and hit the ground, spreading the divine power around and causing damage.
“〈 Fury Wave 〉? Are you looking for goblins with that?”
“Yes. You can check the reactions of monsters nearby. I don’t know if it’s a goblin, but there is a monster nearby.”
This is another unimaginable use of skill.
“Are you looking for monsters around you that are damaging with 〈 Fury Wave 〉?”
“Yes. You recognized it right away.”
〈 Fury Wave 〉 was simply a basic skill for catching random mobs in the game.
However, Ellie used 〈 Fury Wave 〉 very weakly and used it like an ultrasonic detector.
“I never imagined using it like this. Have you ever used it like this before?”
“That’s not true. When there are many low-level demons, the skill range is wide and can be used effectively. This is a method I came up with yesterday while going to catch a wolf.”
After doing today’s quest, I think I need to organize Ellie’s skills on a large scale.
Usually, skills are only used to inflict damage, so until I heard Ellie, I thought they were used when fighting monsters or demons.
But when she saw what Ellie showed her, she realized that she could use it in a completely different way.
“Thank you, Ellie. It opened my eyes. Let’s go back and think together about how to use her skills.”
“I’m glad that I was of help to Jinu.”
We walked towards the monster Ellie said she had found.
Luckily, there was a group of goblins there.
A total of 5 animals.
Coincidentally, the quest also involved killing 5 goblins.
Very nice coincidence!
“I’m a little nervous because I’m about to go into practice right away.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll help you. I’ll take down the goblins first. Then, how about tackling them one by one?”
Is this a one-on-one conversation with a goblin?
“Okay, will you do that?”
The moment Ellie heard those words, she ran towards the goblin.
Wow… Ellie knocked out 4 goblins in an instant with her bare hands without even using her weapon.
The remaining one saw Ellie and tried to run away, but of course she couldn’t escape her grasp.
After seeing that, I also moved to where the goblin was.
“Jinu, let’s try this guy first. If it’s dangerous, I will intervene.”
Ellie said, throwing the goblin towards me.
The goblin looked at me with a pained expression due to the impact of the fall.
This guy seems to understand that he has to fight me.
I grabbed Gram and took a fighting stance.
Of course, this is not my first time seeing a goblin.
But this is my first time fighting like this.
Until then, I was just watching as a porter.
In my head, I know that cutting it down is not difficult.
Compared to the tree we just cut down, the goblin will be much easier.
But my heart wasn’t like that.
Her heart began to beat frantically, and her hands began to turn sweaty.
How long has it been?
I ran to the goblin first.
“Haap!”
I swung my sword diagonally towards the goblin.
The goblin could not react to my attack and was cut down to death.
“Good job Jinu. Next time.”
Another goblin flew towards me along with Ellie’s voice.
The goblin came to her senses from the shock of her fall to the floor and seemed startled to see her comrades lying dead around her.
I prepared for battle once again.
This goblin must have quickly grasped the situation and charged towards me with its own weapon.
I was so embarrassed by the different situation from before that I just swung Gram.
But the goblin dodged my attack and lunged straight for my neck.
For a moment, I really thought I was going to die.
This is because the goblin’s attack was stopped by Ellie before it reached my neck.
And Ellie threw the goblin around her and immediately crushed her body.
“Are you okay?”
Ellie approached with a worried look on her face.
“Ah… Thank you, Ellie. I was embarrassed when the goblin attacked me.”
If it weren’t for Ellie, I would have died right here.
I think the problem was that I had little combat experience.
“Do you want to continue?”
“Yes, if we just got into trouble together, will you help me?”
The three remaining goblins did the same thing, and unlike the second goblin, they were easy to kill.
We cut off the ear and put it in our pocket as proof that we had caught the goblin.
“As expected, it’s hard to actually fight right away. Now I have to start training in the morning.”
“I will help you as much as I can. I don’t know much about swordsmanship since I use a mace, but I can explain basic combat.”
“Thank you, Ellie. That’s enough. And there are sword-wielding Berserkers and Dragon Knights in our guild, so if you summon them, you can learn from them.”
“You are talking about Noah and Yuria. I think they will become strong enough if they learn.”
Berserker is Noah, Dragon Knight is Yuria.
Seeing the red sunset, it seems impossible to go back to the village.
“Ellie, I think I’ll have to sleep out today. Even if I go back to the village, it won’t be open because it’s night.”
“Then you should move to a nice place.”
We started to move to get a seat outside.
“Can you tell me what the youngest Elemental Master’s name is?”
“Yes. Rachel, this is Rachel Rosemary.”
Is the Elemental Master Rachel?
I think I’ve finally heard the names of all the characters I grew up with.
I don’t know the exact age, but if you think about it in order of age,
1. Lien – martial artist
2. Renia – Summoner
3. Ellie – Paladin
4. Noah – Berserker
5. Freya – Crusader
6. Elsha – Rogue
7. Yuria – Dragon Knight
8. Rachel – Elemental Master
Would.
I asked Ellie and she said it was true.
Then we found a place to sleep, pitched a tent, got ready to sleep, lit a fire, and had a simple dinner.
“Are you guys on good terms with each other? Even though you all gathered around my power, I don’t think that alone can say that you all are on good terms.”
“Hmm… It looks like we’re having a bit of an argument.”
“It looks like there are some kids you don’t get along with very well?”
“Yes. Lien and Renia fight a lot. Lien is proud of being the first to receive Jinu’s power, while Renia is proud of being the one who received the most power out of all of us. “We often fight over who is loved more by Jinu.”
I never thought you’d fight over something like that.
It is clear that she must have been proud of the fact that she spent a lot of money on the summoner’s digging.
But of course the martial artist I first raised was also a character I had affection for.
Due to a nerf patch in the middle, the performance deteriorated to the point where it was unusable, so I ended up letting it go for a while and looking for another character.
Then, I became obsessed with being a summoner, which was an unpopular job even though it had good performance, and soon I reached the level of a main character.
“Besides, Renia is a bit… Well, she has a habit of treating everyone poorly because she received the most power from Jinu, and because of that, she even got into a few fights with other guild members. “
Did you go all in out of curiosity?
But let’s just get the main character into the rankings! I went all in because of that thought.
“If you are summoned here, I would like to say something to you. Let’s get along well together.”
“There’s no need to tell me. We argue a little, but it’s not to the point where we hate each other.”
If that’s the case, I’m glad.
We finished dinner and got ready as the sun went down.
Then the topic of night watch came up.
“I would like to tell you that I will stay on guard for Jinu-nim, but Jinu-nim will probably ask us to stand on guard for each other, right? So how about we take turns standing there every two hours?”
While listening to Ellie’s words, a thought occurred to me and I fell into deep thought.
“Ellie, among the skills you can use, can you install 〈 Divine Field 〉 while maintaining divine power?”
“Are you talking about 〈 Divine Field 〉? Hmm… Let’s give it a try.”
Among the Paladin skills, Obstruction is a skill that plants a mace into the ground and spreads divine power in a certain area, causing the divine power to explode in that area.
However, Paladins had the job characteristic of storing divine power in their maces before using skills, allowing them to be used at different times.
Among them, 〈 Divine Field 〉 had the ability to store divine power by planting a mace in the ground and then explode it when an enemy came within range.
Instead, in the game, when it contained divine power, it could not move while making a single motion.
But this is reality.
As I said, Ellie was able to move the mace with divine power capable of using 〈 Divine Field 〉.
“I think it’s possible. If you do this, there’s no need to be on alert.”
“I’m glad it went as planned. Then, shall we have a relaxing night?”
We went into the tent we had set up.
While lying down neatly, Ellie spoke to me in a whisper.
“Are you okay with just being comfortable?”
After hearing those words, we spent a comfortable and hot night in the tent and woke up in the morning.
