The Bugbear That Invaded (2)
치이이익~
This sizzling sound is the familiar noise of meat being grilled on the streets.
But here, there is no burner or grill.
Where is this sound coming from?
You won’t believe it, but it’s a fork.
The meat on the fork is being seared as if it’s well-done.
Sol~ Sol~
A smell I’ve smelled many times from somewhere begins to spread.
Everyone’s noses start reacting to that smell.
Sniff. Sniff.
“Where is this samgyeopsal smell coming from?” “Yeah! Samgyeopsal smell!”
“Ah. I want to eat.”
It’s a Bugbear similar to a bear, but I have no idea why the smell smells like samgyeopsal.
Of course, I haven’t eaten bear meat, so I don’t know what the grilled bear meat smell would be either.
Everyone glances this way because of the smell, but then turns their heads.
The thing being grilled vigorously is a monster Bugbear.
If they were expecting samgyeopsal, they wouldn’t be able to hide their disappointment.
“Let me try eating it.”
Using the fork that looks somewhat cooked to lift the Bugbear meat, it appears well-done.
Putting the Bugbear meat in my mouth, the taste is clearly felt.
The thoroughly seared samgyeopsal taste that any Korean would know spreads in my mouth.
While eating this, I can guess that bear meat might also taste similar to samgyeopsal.
Gulp. Gulp.
Too delicious.
But something is a bit lacking.
Samgyeopsal isn’t just eating the meat; it’s placing it on ssam with various vegetables, and the taste is exquisite.
But since there are no such vegetables around, it’s lacking.
Gulp. Gulp.
In an instant, I ate one Bugbear completely.
A satisfying meal.
No, calling it a meal, I must have gone crazy.
[Complete Predation of Bugbear]
[Bugbear has no special ability.]
[Summonable monster added.]
◈ Summonable monster
※ Bugbear
'Now, a sacrifice has been born.' A Fury shuttle has appeared.
Of course, it would be good if they fight well, but against Bugbears 1:1, it seems a bit difficult.
After predating the Bugbear, looking at the people, everyone's mouths were full of saliva.
Because the rations from the cafeteria are running out, everyone seems a bit hungry.
But I can't give this to the people.
The worms that smelled the decaying scent of the monster corpses rushed in, but since they had poison inside, they all died.
If people ate that, what would happen? Obvious situation.
I probably don't have a problem because of my trait.
“Ugh!”
At that time, the student who was unconscious started moving as if waking up.
“Sam… samgyeopsal! Mom! Give me samgyeopsal too! Samgyeopsal!” Sang-hoon jumped up while saying that.
Perhaps because he was very hungry, he dreamed of samgyeopsal.
“Eh? Where did the samgyeopsal go?”
Sang-hoon still looks dazed.
I approached that Sang-hoon.
“Are you awake?”
“Who… who are you?”
“You don’t remember a little while ago?”
At those words, Sang-hoon immediately realized that what he dreamed was a dream and the situation a moment ago was reality.
And the guy bowed to me abruptly.
“Ah! Thank you. I’m really grateful you saved me.” “No. More importantly, I have a few things I want to ask… ” I listened in detail about the situation when escaping outside a little while ago to Sang-hoon.
The situation outside the school heard through Sang-hoon.
It didn’t seem like anything could be done in the current situation.
“Ah. And I found one thing.” “Found?”
“This.”
What Sang-hoon handed me was a note.
“What is this note?”
“That’s because I caught a goblin, this note came out.” “You caught a goblin and a note came out?”
It was strange that instead of a weapon or item, a note came out after catching a goblin.
I unfolded the note I received from Sang-hoon and checked the content inside.
Shelter Creation Modification
📍 Location: [Unknown]
🎁 Reward: Shelter protection
'Shelter?'
The content in the note.
It was written that you can get a space protected from monsters by catching a boss monster.
'Certain probability…'
It didn’t seem like the probability was that high.
Even though I caught the boss goblin, it didn’t appear.
'Looking at Sang-hoon’s story, it seems impossible to go out now.' The situation outside where stronger beings than these Bugbears are overflowing.
Rather, it seemed like being inside was much better.
“Ah. And it seems there are strong Bugbears gathered in the auditorium.” “In the auditorium?”
“It looks like they have more size than normal Bugbears.” More size than normal Bugbears.
That means there is a high possibility of a boss monster of Bugbears there.
'If I catch that guy, can I get the shelter creation modification?' Getting a space to protect the body.
If I can get a shelter that can protect us from unknown stronger monsters coming in, it would be worth boldly challenging.
'But can I do it with my current power.'
I was a bit worried.
The power of the boss monster is incomparable to normal monsters.
Even the boss goblin here is something I didn’t see a little while ago.
“Wow, but Ssaem, is this a real summon?” “Yeah, why? Want to touch it?”
“No!”
Other students looked at the monster I summoned as scary yet amazing.
For those guys, I specially summoned the Bugbear I ate a little while ago right in front of them.
Bugbear Summoned
[Bugbear Lv-6]
The summoned monster has the same level as when killed.
The disappointing point is that I don’t have any weapons in hand.
Well, if I want that too, it’s a bit much.
Anyway, since weapons can be stored in inventory, I just needed to throw one each time I summon them.
“Wow, Ssaem, this is too OP?” “What’s OP, bro.”
“This is a summoner, not a Predator.” “Hey, I think this is good for you guys, bro.” “Well, that’s true.”
Honestly, the difficulty is too evil.
If this is a game, it’s like a beginner starting on hard mode.
But with our jobs now, it’s not bad.
“It would be nice if we could summon more of these.” Jin-hwan’s words.
At that moment, the level up a little while ago came to mind.
[Please use Points. Current Points: 4]
'After leveling to 5, points accumulated.'
Points to invest in skills.
Currently, I need 2 points to increase the stats of my skills.
I chose the Predation Monster Summon skill and invested the points immediately.
├─ Tier 1:Summon limited monsters ✓
├─ Tier 2:Summon all predated monsters ✓
'Wait? What?'
The effect was huge.
This is, honestly, OP.
I can create a monster army by myself.
I only increased the summon level from 1 to 2, but the ability is like this.
I wondered if I could upgrade to level 3 again immediately, but it seemed I couldn’t do it at the current level.
“Does anyone have a skill?”
“I don’t have one yet.”
“Me too.”
“I don’t have it yet.”
Everyone hasn’t completed the quest they received.
The difficulty varies for each person, and the rewards are random.
There were also people who didn’t have any quest at all.
'If everyone can get a skill like this, honestly it would be a piece of cake.' Even if the Bugbear boss’s grandfather comes, it would be easy to win.
“First, let’s all break quests to get as many skills as possible, and keep an eye out outside for a bit.” “What are you going to do, Ssaem?”
“Me? There’s something else to do.”
After saying that, I went up to the 4th floor first and looked at the corpses of goblins and giant rats that died.
From now on, I plan to prey on monsters needed for summoning.
Fortunately, the weather is still cold, so the degree of decay is not severe.
If it was summer, it would be terrifying to think what would happen.
'Guys.'
While eating monster corpses.
I also saw the corpses of my classmates.
The corpses that couldn’t escape the school and died.
Not only Dong-man, but also Seong-ho, Ji-hoon, etc.
The kids I taught one by one.
Did the other students escape safely?
Subtle emotions started to come to mind.
'Live, all of you.'
Wishing the safe survival of the remaining students, I started eating the remaining monsters quickly.
The time until the dungeon generation is now short.
So, I ate all the goblins and giant rats from the 4th floor to the 1st floor.
[Current summonable monsters]
※ Giant Rat X 46
※ Goblin X 75
※ Bugbear X 1
'Quite a lot accumulated.'
Monsters eaten in 30 minutes.
Will all these monsters really be summonable?
'Shall I summon goblins first?'
◈ Summoned
[Goblin summoned.] X 10
- Not enough mana, cannot summon more.
'Mana?'
Even though I had predated over 40, only 10 goblins were summoned.
It seemed there was a limit.
'Is there an item that can recover mana?' Obviously, like Jin-hwan’s heal recovers health, if it’s like a game, there should be a way to recover mana.
That thought crossed my mind and one thing came to mind.
'Ah. Shop.'
If this is really similar to a game, there must be that there.
The shop that appeared after the level up a little while ago.
At the same time, a window appeared in front of me.
[Shop Lv-1]
[Weapons √][Armor][Accessories][Potions][Etc]
- Rough knife ★ 100 coins
- Rough bow ★ 100 coins
- Rough dagger ★ 100 coins
:
- Rough spear ★ 100 coins
- Rough hammer ★ 100 coins
'All trash.'
For weapons, armor, accessories, there were only trash items of 1 star.
The ability of these weapons at a high price of 100 coins.
Honestly, no need.
But this doesn’t matter.
What I’m aiming for is potions.
There will be that there.
'That's right!'
Mana recovery potion exists.
The price of 50 coins.
It seemed a bit expensive, but the effect should be fine.
'Since Jin-hwan is there, let’s buy mostly with mana recovery potions.' Health recovery potion is already there with Heal Shuttle, isn’t it.
So, I invested all the remaining coins there.
'What is there in etc?'
'What is this?'
A thing that doesn’t seem necessary in the current situation.
So, I left it aside for now, and went down to the 1st floor where other people are.
“Wow!”
“Go… goblin!”
When a group of 10 goblins appeared, people were startled.
In my eyes, whether it’s a summon or not is indicated.
However, it seems that other people’s eyes don’t distinguish well if that mark is not there.
“Calm down. All are summons.”
“R… really?”
“Yeah. Look.”
To calm the people, I showed that the goblins obey my words.
“How are the Bugbears now, brother?”
“They don’t seem to approach this building yet. But the goblins outside seem to have been mostly killed.” Bugbears that don’t approach the building thanks to the fear effect a little while ago.
However, now that the outside situation is all cleaned up, and the fear effect is about to disappear, I might start thinking about challenging this place too.
'With this level of ability, I should be able to deal with the boss monster of Bugbears as well.' Confidence that I can catch not only Bugbears but also the boss monster of Bugbears.
And the shelter acquisition bead that can be obtained by defeating that boss monster.
It seemed necessary to quickly obtain that bead before stronger monsters come rushing in here.
However, the situation of how strong the boss monster of Bugbears is unknown.
More preparation is needed.
“Brother. First, wait here with the kids.” “What are you going to do?”
“Before catching the boss monster, I need to prepare a bit.” “You say you’re going to catch that?”
“Yeah. I don’t know when stronger monsters will come in, so I need to get the shelter.”
Although I agree with my words, to Kang Hyuk who thinks it’s not possible, I said since I have thoughts, don’t worry.
“What thoughts?”
I plan to quickly hunt Bugbears using goblins and giant rats. And prey on Bugbears instead of the dead ones to summon.
A way to immediately improve combat power.
It would be more helpful to have one Bugbear than summoning a few rough goblins.
“Jin-hwan. You follow me alone.”
“Right, I can’t do without you?”
“Just because I’m a healer, I need it, bro.” If I have to prepare for getting hurt, right?
Because the Heal Shuttle is precious.
Of course, moving together and leveling up would be best, but moving with students without jobs would have risks.
“Let’s go.”
First, leading the way, the goblin groups started moving boldly out of the building with the boss goblin at the forefront.
Following leisurely behind, me and Jin-hwan.
“Let’s make a Bugbear unit?”
