Chapter 386 Iddy (6)

No matter how much I thought about it, it wasn’t quite right.

It was suicide to charge into a room with three mother bodies.

Waiting for the round to end like this should be the way to go.

And I could try again in the next round.

However, in the next round, if the mother bodies ran away as they are now, I would only face the same situation again.

How about taking some time and devoting myself to training?

Until all my limbs can be completely sealed, and I can crawl around with my torso and bite and kill the monsters with my mouth.

Damn it.

It was nonsense.

Crawling with my torso, biting monsters and killing them?

Would I even be a human? An African snake in the mask of a Homo sapiens.

It wasn’t training, it was evolution.

Damn it.

The 7th floor was said to be easier than the 6th floor, but in the end, I still got stuck again.

It was not a stage that required more than 5 people for nothing.

It seems like a stage that can be easily cleared even if there were only five or two people in the group, but it was a problem that could not be solved alone.

[Tutorial, Hell Difficulty (4/7)]

I tried accessing the community on Hell difficulty.

The community was cluttered because of the dialogue meeting day, but this was different.

[Kim Mi-young (1st floor): It’s been more than 10 hours since Hyung-jin entered, right?]

[Park Chun-su (1st floor): Yes. It’s been 10 hours and 21 minutes now.]

[Oh Hye-ri (1st floor): Oh, then he must have crossed the rope trap. Unless he passed out in the middle.]

Challengers on Hell difficulty are, as always, chattering in the community.

The theme was the attack on the first floor by a challenger named Lee Hyung-jin.

It seems that it has already been 10 hours since he entered the stage.

10 hours.

If you were caught by an arrow trap, it is time to return to the waiting room or die from excessive blood loss.

The challengers are excited about whether Lee Hyung-jin will come out of the 1st floor.

There was no particular atmosphere.

They just sit down in the waiting room or at the entrance of the first floor and chat about it all day long.

I don’t know what is so enjoyable.

They sometimes said this from time to time.

[Park Chun-su (1st floor): Biscuits are really cost-effective honey. You can buy five bags of biscuits just by passing through the first trap. I bought it once and am eating it for the third time. It’s good to eat with salty jerky, and it’s good to feel full, and it’s good to eat one by one while being in the community.]

[Oh Hye-ri (1st floor): Oh, great tip.]

Damn… .

How the hell do they think about living, if they just sit still and eat biscuits?

I couldn’t understand.

Apart from me, there were a total of 6 living Hell difficulty challengers.

Five of them gave up on challenging stages.

They are focusing on finding food and surviving with small points given at the end of the round.

Their only hope was the delusion that someone would clear the Tutorial and send everyone back home.

The challenger named Lee Hyung-jin was trying hard to attack by himself, but his speed was too slow.

How long until he will be able to clear the first floor?

I wanted to urge the community to stop talking and challenge the arrow trap once more.

I did not put it into action.

If I rushed to drive them away, they would all die in the midst of an accident.

Huh.

I sighed once and turned off the community window.

I felt it on the 6th floor, but it’s impossible to raise them and use them as party members.

At least it wouldn’t be possible until I got old and died.

If this happens, I have no choice but to listen to Kirikiri’s second advice.

Kirikiri mentioned my skill to summon envoys while advising me on the 7th floor strategy.

[Summon Envoy (Lv.???)]

Description: This is the power of an unknown god who refused to reveal his name to the challenger.

It is possible to summon an envoy for a certain period of time using an item engraved with a part of the envoy’s soul as a medium.

It is a power with God’s constraint in it.

Number of casts (5/5)

Kirikiri said that this skill can be used to summon temporary companions.

And even saying that that colleague will surely be of great help

Well.

It was not convincing.

Of course, Kirikiri’s advice was always valuable and valid.

This time it was not so clear.

Summon Envoy is a skill that summons dead enemies.

And nowhere in this skill description did it say that the summoned deceased could be used as an ally.

Even when I asked Kirikiri, she said they are summoned just as they were before.

There was a limit to the number of times, so it was a waste to use it as a test.

It was a skill with great variables and risk.

I thought it was a skill that was useful only when trying to revive the enemy and find out information through interrogation.

Even in the midst of a hellish attack on the 6th floor, I didn’t use this skill.

No matter how difficult it is, it was because I had the belief that if I grew up like this, I would be able to clear the 6th floor someday.

But now I needed a variable.

Unlike the 6th floor, I was not easily convinced that even if I grew through training, I would be able to clear the 7th floor.

After a while, I stopped worrying and opened my inventory.

Let’s do it.

I needed a colleague so desperately now.

A companion and meat shield who will meet the mother body’s stiffness for even a single blow.

If it doesn’t work, let’s knock them out.

[Lizardman Idaltar’s Soul Stone]

Description: A soulstone of Idaltar, the strongest and most sinister warrior among the Lizardmen living in the Aydin Swamp.

It is available for sale at the shop window.

The target to be resurrected was a Lizardman, who appeared as a boss mob on the 5th floor.

She was the only one who could survive the Dombas crowd during the melee.

[Would you like to use Summon Envoy on this Soul Stone?]

A message appeared as I was holding the soul stone in my hand.

Sigh, is this really the right decision?

This Lizardman was a real idiot.

“Yes.”

No matter how much I thought about it, there was no other way.

At the same time as my answer, the soul stone was broken and shattered into powder.

While watching the strange powder that was flying in the closed room without any wind, a strong light emanated from the front.

A very short flash passed, and the body of a Lizardman, facing me, appeared in the middle of the closed room.

“Croak.”

The Lizardman looked around as if embarrassed to find me.

“Croak, Warrior, what’s going on here?”

The Lizardman recognized me.

Fortunately she didn’t jump on me.

I thought she might attack right away.

How should I explain it?

“I brought you back.”

It was easy to understand and concise.

First of all, she had to understand this situation.

The Lizardman tilted her head.

The Lizardman, who had been agonizing about it for a while, nodded as if she understood now.

Then she laid flat on the floor and said to me,

“As expected, you had me in mind. I know that you couldn’t help it because we were enemies of each other before. Accepting a battle is a true warrior’s attitude. I will forget about the mean numbers you made. Get on.”

It was good news that she had no resentment at me for deceiving and killing the Lizardmen in previous battles, but the last words didn’t make sense.

“…Get on?”

“Croak, Croak, don’t be shy and get on. I’m very excited. Croak.”

Breathing out, sniffing the floor, the tip of her tail smacking the floor, and a voice trembling with excitement.

With the ability of the pre-Babel knowledge skills to perfectly translate not only language but also body language, I soon understood the meaning of what the Lizardman was saying.

“Croak, you wanted to revive me. I heard that human sexual desire was strong, but I didn’t know it was this much. Croak, Croak.”

“No! That’s not it!”

* * *

“I have no intention of mating!”

I talked bluntly.

To put it a little mildly, this libido-mad lizard distorts or ignores my words.

“Why!”

The lizard seemed astonished as to how it could be.

I was rather astonished at that attitude.

“Why!? I wonder why you came to the conclusion that you and I have to mate!”

“Croak… That, how do I say that with my mouth? I already noticed it when I saw you the last time. You have a bit of a nasty personality, Croak.”

Ah… Ah… !

The Lizardman, burning with the race’s desire to breed, couldn’t make any sense.

Eventually I had to put on a serious face and explain to her the reasons for over thirty minutes to convince her.

I don’t like the Lizardmen; I have no intention of breeding; and I have no intention of sexual intercourse.

She was too heated to speak seriously, so I continued to explain it angrily without realizing.

“…Croak.”

As a result, the Lizardman was noticeably depressed.

What is this?

Why am I feeling guilty?

What did I do wrong?

“I understood……. Croak.”

The Lizardman Idaltar, squatting with her knees together, swept the floor, moving her tail from side to side like a windshield wiper.

Even though she was sitting on the floor, her head came up to my chest.

She was a surprisingly good conversation partner after calming down.

It was a relief.

I decided to ask her one question first before I spoke about my purpose in summoning her.

Lizardman Idaltar was a boss mob met on the 5th floor.

At that time, she was burning with desire to breed with me, and when I refused, she went crazy and raged.

But this time, she quietly accepted my refusal.

The difference in attitude was a little puzzling.

“Croak, isn’t it natural? I was stronger then.”

Idaltar said, breathing out with excitement.

Of course, I did not take it for granted.

What is this nonsense again?

I was stronger then?

It was me who eventually won.

“Croak, croak, whatever the fact is, let’s just move on.”

Whatever the fact is and move on?

The fact that I was stronger was the fact.

Why just move on?

“Croak, anyway, I thought I was stronger. Courtship is the right of the stronger person. You didn’t seem to accept my abilities, so I had to show my strength.”

I understood it roughly.

About Lizardmen’s notion of sex.

In their notion that they became insane because they were intoxicated with the existence of the strong, courtship is the privilege of the strong, and it is natural to accept the courtship of the strong.

So Idaltar, who thought she was stronger than me, couldn’t accept my refusal.

Idaltar, who thought that I was underestimating her power, went straight to exercising her skills.

I saw it as an attempt of rape.

Actually it was.

“Then now?”

“Croak, at a glance you look stronger than me. I can’t help it.”

Idaltar was so coolly convinced.

Of course, she did not completely give up her desire to reproduce.

“Croak, if you don’t like me that much, I’ll have to work harder. So you want to welcome me as a bride.”

No, don’t bother trying.

I won’t be willing to do that forever.

“If you watch my skills, you will change your mind little by little. Croak. It is natural for a strong male to be paired with a strong female. Croak.”

It was a reason I hadn’t heard of before.
