51 – Plants in the greenhouse (4)

A muzzle protruding from the index finger of the rice cooker.

I gently placed my hand on it and restrained the iron rice bowl.

“Bob bucket. Can I point a gun at my friend? Reap quickly.”

─Confirm command entry. reap ···Additional information. not friends

“…And it’s true that rocks beat scissors. You can’t force yourself.”

He criticized the iron rice bowl for not accepting the results.

Jiing.

Then the guy’s lens turned three times.

What does count mean?

I don’t know what.

The iron rice bowl meekly admitted defeat when I said it myself.

– Rock beats scissors. Check input······.

─Kei! Stupid tin!

Kkaebi, who was frightened and held tightly to me, stuck out her tongue and mocked Bobbong.

Let Bobtong aim for kkaebi again,

Kkaebi hid herself behind me and raised her voice.

─To the seniors! set an example! Key!

-Shut up.

Is it a good relationship or a bad relationship…

Instructor Tak Jae-hwan, who was watching this scene, said with a small laugh.

“It seems that the summoned beasts have strong egos.”

wake up…

Certainly, Kaebi and Bobtong have a strong sense of ego compared to other summons.

“Not all summons are like this, only those with a cost are like this.”

“Is that so? I said that the cost seems to be given randomly… Hmm···.”

Instructor Tak Jae-hwan stroked his chin.

He seemed to be thinking deeply about something, but then he spoke again.

“I’m guessing that if that cost is granted, a soul will be created.”

“A soul?”

“Your summons can be created infinitely, so there is a high probability that most of them do not have souls. However, summoned beasts with a cost may be mutant objects that have souls… Oh, these are just my thoughts, so you can just throw them away.”

Instructor Tak Jae-hwan’s reasoning was plausible.

Summoned beasts such as the Werewolf King and the Elder Centipede sometimes feel like empty shells with no soul and only a body.

On the other hand, Summoners with a cost have their own distinct personality and strong self-assertion.

As Instructor Tak Jae-hwan said, it could be because the soul exists.

‘For now, that’s the most reasonable reasoning.’

I looked at the kkaebi and the rice bowl.

Looks like they’re still arguing.

‘I’m not sure, but it’s good to have a soul.’

It was the time when I was smiling and looking at the guys with a smile.

support position-

Another voice came from the communications artifact.

It was a communication from our side.

[Sergeant Jarim Yoon. Are you going back to District 7 now?]

“Already arrived.”

[Hurry B back to Area 6. A group of werewolves are rapidly approaching there.]

“Good reception. We will move to District 6 immediately.”

Yoon Ja-rim’s eyes turned to me.

“Can I move right away?”

“yes.”

While trying to give orders to the elder centipede.

woo woo-

In the distance we saw a huge roaring dust wave approaching us.

“crazy···. Have you already approached?”

Yoon Ja-rim cursed and drew the sword from the scabbard at his waist.

The dust waves arrived in front of us in the blink of an eye.

A werewolf that boasts the highest speed among 3-star monsters.

Dozens of them completely surrounded us before we knew it.

-I will kill you.

─Kill!

After Yoon Ja-rim.

Iron Rice Bowl and Kkaebi adjusted their posture while being wary of the werewolf.

I still have room for leadership, so I summoned another monster.

It happened because there was a summon that the werewolves could be afraid of.

Black light emanates from the encyclopedia.

─Nice to meet you.

The werewolf king summoned in the middle of enemy lines.

-Wait for orders.

Is it because of the overwhelming height that turns ordinary werewolves into dwarves?

The werewolves, who had been glaring at us with vigor, began to gnaw and backtrack.

“Wolf King.”

─Answer me.

“Can you lead them? Give something like an order.”

─I’ll try.

Before subjugating the werewolves.

I wanted to try an experiment.

The Werewolf King is the same species as the Werewolf, but a superior entity.

It is no different from a ruler who reigns over them.

There seems to be no leader in that group,

If the higher level entity, the werewolf king, appeared, wouldn’t it be possible to rule them?

It was just an order given by such thoughts.

It seems a bit forced, but…

Fortunately, I was right.

—You guys, kneel.

─Kre?

The werewolves without a leader couldn’t make a proper judgment.

Dozens of Werewolves looked at each other in bewilderment, and then one by one, following the Werewolf King’s instructions, a sight unfolded on their knees.

-You will die from now on. Don’t resist and die quietly.

─Kreu…

─Are you dissatisfied?

─Kreur.

The werewolf king turned to me and said.

─The owner. Please give me the following command.

“… this is real. You can rest now, good job.”

─I got it.

Werewolf King’s final form.

There is no experience, and

I couldn’t evolve any more, so there was no need to share the monsters’ experience.

It was decided to distribute this honey-like resource to kkaebi and iron rice bowls with open growth routes.

“Bob bucket. Wake up.”

─Answer.

─Kei!

“Let’s split it in half and grab it.”

Iron Rice Bowl goes into machine gun mode.

Kkaebi took out a stone from her backpack and picked it up.

The werewolves knelt down and planted their heads on the ground, meekly accepting their death.

“Hey… Well, it feels like some kind of merciless slaughtering of prisoners…”

Seo Han-bit was frightened and covered his mouth.

Others sighed as if they were as absurd and curious as she was.

“Well···. As a monster summoner, this method is also possible.”

“what is this···?”

“I see all the stars.”

Instructor Tak Jae-hwan, Baek So-ah, and Yoon Ja-rim spoke in that order.

Although it is a method I devised.

I, too, was so absurd that I laughed out loud.

Werewolves are 3-star high, so their intelligence is quite high.

But to obey even the order to die…

‘Is this the importance of the boss?’

Although it won’t work on 4-star or higher monsters.

An expedient that works well for 3-star or lower monsters.

Just knowing this fact was a pretty big harvest.

‘It will be more convenient in the future if I use the boss object.’

Thinking so, I watched as Kaebi and Iron Rice Bowl slaughtered werewolves.

The iron rice bowl that handles the gun has already finished the subjugation.

Kaebi was a little behind.

It took a long time to aim at each one, and a werewolf didn’t die with a single stone.

The reason why I insist on attacking from a distance is…

Even if not close

I guess it’s because he wants to prove that he’s better than an iron rice bowl.

I couldn’t prove it in the end.

─It’s slow. All subjugation completed. It is estimated that they will catch up in about 10 years.

─Keii…! quiet! Hindrance!

at that time.

Baek So-ah approached Kkaebi and said.

“Kwaebi. Give me some rocks.”

─Kei?

Baek So-ah wrapped a roaring flame around the surface of the stone.

“ruler. Try this.”

─Keii!

swish

Baek So-ah floats a stone with flames in the air.

Caang-!

Kkaebi swings it with a bat.

While the stone is flying towards the werewolf.

Baek So-ah reached out and raised the firepower of the flames wrapped around the stones to the maximum.

It looks like a miniature Meteor.

In just one shot, the remaining werewolves were charred like charcoal, and died without screaming.

‘Five···. But is this also counted as something caught by a kkaebi?’

When I checked the information window of the kkaebi, the experience points were properly entered.

judgment is good

─Kei! thanks!

“Thank you.”

Kaebi and Baek So-ah lifted their hands and their palms met.

The two go well together.

As a kkaebi supporter, Baek So-ah felt like a perfect fit.

“…At first, I tried to escape by making a breakthrough, but I didn’t expect to catch them all this easily.”

Yoon Ja-rim looked at the corpses of werewolves that had been reduced to ashes with a bewildered expression and said.

Instructor Tak Jae-hwan had a similar expression, but quickly maintained his poker face again.

“Hmm···. Now you must have had enough experience points.”

“I just checked and both are filled with Max.”

“good night. Let’s evolve it first before moving to the next area.”

I looked closely.

It wasn’t a poker face.

Her lips twitched, and her eyes, full of anticipation, shone softly.

How come you seem more excited than me…

“Now, hurry up and inject it into the encyclopedia.”

Instructor Tak Jae-hwan hurriedly poured out the magic stones from the pocket of the subspace.

The time has finally come to evolve the kkaebi into a 4-star.

***

A 3-star magic stone is about 600,000 won.

Instructor Tak Jae-hwan provided a total of 500 3-star magic stones.

that is so.

‘300 million…’

It was supported by a whopping 300 million magic stones.

I realized once again the wealth of Instructor Tak Jae-hwan.

‘…It’s still burdensome.’

growing support.

Even if you are an exclusive disciple, I don’t think it’s an excessive investment.

It was rather uncomfortable on the receiving end.

But it’s not polite to refuse, so I accepted it without hesitation.

“thank you. I’m sorry I only receive it every time.”

“never mind.”

So, inject all the magic stones into the encyclopedia.

Kaebi was called into the road book.

‘But I guess I couldn’t evolve Bobbin anyway.’

There are two evolutionary forms of Bobbin.

Android female and male.

Since they require 1,000 and 900 magic stones respectively, evolution was impossible right now.

This means that it was a predetermined defeat from the start.

“Rice bowl, I’ll be sure to evolve you sooner or later.”

─······Confirmed.

Bobcat needs to evolve into a male android.

after thinking like that.

I moved my gaze back to the encyclopedia and checked the evolutionary list of kkaebi.

◎Evolution

★★★★ Auger (final form)

Conditions: 500/200 Magic Stones

★★★★ Oni (final form)

Conditions: 500/200 Magic Stones

★★★★ goblin

Conditions: 500/300 Magic Stones

The route has already been determined.

I chose the goblin without hesitation.

Took.

The encyclopedia is automatically covered.

Contrary to expectations, there was no vibration.

‘Nothing like light comes out.’

I wish I could stare at the motionless encyclopedia for ten seconds.

【Evolution is not possible for an object without a soul. Checking whether the currently selected object has a soul.】

A disparate voice, not sure whether it was a woman or a man, came out of the encyclopedia.

【Check the soul of the two-cornered dwarf.】

【Tries to transcend existence.】

【If you fail to transcend, your soul will disappear.】

And the voice cut off.

‘…soul extinction?’

Crazy, this wasn’t in the manual, was it?

My throat was sore.

Water already spilled.

It is too late to reverse evolution.

I can only hope that I will not fail…

The time when I was watching the illustrated book with a nervous mind.

【Transcendence failed.】

【The soul is destroyed.】

·······.

My hair went white.

“Fuck, what are you talking about!?”

I can’t contain my excitement.

The vulgar curse words that had not been uttered in the past automatically came out.

It was such an unacceptable situation.

“Why, why?”

“Hyunseong-nim, what are you doing?!”

Instructor Tak Jae-hwan and Seo Han-bit asked me with puzzled expressions.

As if he hadn’t heard the voice saying that Kaebi’s soul had just vanished.

maybe···.

That voice seemed to only be heard in my ears.

‘…the kkaebi disappeared?’

The hand tremors do not stop.

I couldn’t keep my thoughts straight.

Kaebi, who has been with me since the first day I was possessed.

I didn’t want to believe that I left in vain like this.

I was looking at the encyclopedia with a puzzled expression.

Suddenly, the encyclopedia shook slightly, and the voice leaked out again.

【A nearby spirit has been detected.】

【Werewolf soul, 55 pieces.】

【Successful in drawing the werewolf’s soul. Werewolf’s soul was sacrificed to prevent the two-headed dwarf’s soul from disappearing.]

【Try to transcend again.】

【Transcendence failed.】

【Successful in drawing the werewolf’s soul. Werewolf’s soul was sacrificed to prevent the two-headed dwarf’s soul from disappearing.]

【Transcendence failed.】

【Transcendence failed.】

【Transcendence failed.】

【Transcendence succeeded.】

【You have succeeded in absorbing all the rest of the werewolves’ souls.】

【An unidentified soul has been detected.】

【Unidentified souls, 3,321 pieces.】

【Succeeded in absorbing 2,322 of the unidentified souls.】

【Your presence becomes thicker.】
