Chapter 44 (1/2)
No Time (4)
“Are you…really okay?”
Il-hyun looked down at his palm with a grim look.
On top of it, the mouse absorbed the ether and sadly claps a broken core piece.
Similarly, Il-hyun tried to cancel the summoning, but no reaction was seen in the mice.
“What happened? Do you see any changes?” Lee Soo-yeon, who witnessed the sight, looked over at the mouse to ask if there was any change.
On the surface, nothing changed.
“It completely absorbed the ether in the core. I don’t know the details, but it’s hard to maintain, and the summons aren’t resolved.”
“…just so you know, if you have a core, you can endlessly generate summons,” Lee Soo-yeon said as she looked down on the Phoenix in her arms.
If there was no limit to the time and population of holding summoners, that was a really ridiculous ability.
It’s enough to reverse common sense and change the defense system itself.
“I’m not sure yet. Besides, the problem is……” Il-hyun’s vision blurred.
It wasn’t just the summoners who needed the core.
Il-hyun also needed a core—as much as possible.
He was able to grow so fast that he had eaten a significant amount of cores.
If he hadn’t come to Aegis, he wouldn’t have gotten this much core.
The summoner’s independence from Il-hyun was clearly an unexpected breakthrough.
During the battle, there was no need to subtract the power needed for this ability, and it was also possible to send it to other gate sites located on the other side of the globe.
However, if it needed too much core investment to hinder one’s growth, it was difficult.
“It was the same for you who needed a core. Besides, I may need food now.”
Lee Soo-yeon nodded and muttered.
As they were summoners who were made and moved by the power of Il-hyun, they might have to continuously consume ether for energy supply.
At that time, Phoenix, who was in Lee Soo-yeon’s arms, shook out.
Then, he jumped over on Il-hyun’s arm.
He handed over the guy who was rubbing at his sides.
“Yes, anyway,” Il-hyun said as he stroked Phoenix’s head.
There were many things to think about in many ways, but he once thought it had something to do with congratulating on the summoner.
Meanwhile, the mouse climbed on the shoulder of Il-hyun.
I think I have become a zookeeper.
“Huh? Another one?”
Ghost is approaching.
Il-hyun and Lee Soo-yeon handed the crushed canned drinks one by one.
“The convenience store in front of me was smashed, so I brought it on a whim.”
“Yes, thanks for this,” Lee Soo-yeon said and laughed as Ghost colorized.
“What’s the situation like?” she asked while opening the can and taking a sip.
“There’s still a long way to go, but we will withdraw first. I’m sure that there are no monsters left.”
When the two monsters came out of the gate, they destroyed the Togg’s core at the same time. The other monsters also stopped moving, so there they’re sure they couldn’t have missed anything.
“We should have a relaxing breakfast. Where should we eat?”
“Anyway, the surroundings are all broken, so why don’t we just go to the hostel and eat?”
“It’s obvious that there’s breakfast prepared there, but it’s boring now.”
“Well……”
Two wandering eyes turned to where Il-hyun is.
In this case, there was no majority vote.
As there are three people in the seat, Il-hyun made a decision without any idea on what to do.
