It wasn’t that difficult to explain Janey to Kim Jae-yoon.
All I had to do was say that my soul’s capacity was so great that it was possible to make a contract with a human being. Of course, it was also explained that Janey’s consent was obtained in the process of signing the contract.
It was Janey who dealt with two people with an expressionless face. Seeing her clinging to me with a faint smile on her face, I felt like there was no need to add anything.
Kim Jae-yoon’s expression became a little strange at the thought of using a person as a summoned beast, but he nodded when he said that it was difficult to tell the details.
Except for when he went out of town to sign a contract with Shinsu, he mostly moved around with Kim Jae-yoon, but when asked when he had time to make a contract, he had a hard time answering. But most of the stories were asked that way and moved on.
Honestly, from Kim Jae-yoon’s point of view, this moderately vague explanation would be a much more accurate explanation than saying that he brought her from another world.
‘I was thinking about lying and saying it was a hidden job, but now that I think about it, I guess since he has a guidebook, you’ll quickly find out that there is no such job, right?’
-Yes.
Maria agreed.
Kim Jae-yoon was quite perceptive. So, seeing Janey’s clingy attitude to me and me taking it for granted, I guess I guessed that we were like that.
This was a conversation we had before the monster wave started.
“Now that we’re the only ones left, I guess I’ll have to summon Thunderbird and test its combat power. I’ll be watching to see if the residents’ defenses are broken, so you can fight on your own.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Then I will take charge of that. My sister-in-law will take charge of this.”
Grinning.
“Thank you.”
The word ‘sister-in-law’ brought a brighter smile to Janey’s lips than before. Kim Jae-yoon, that bastard… Despite his chic appearance, he also knows how to say nice things. When I think about it, it seemed like he always treated me with contempt ever since I showed my strength on the starting floor.
“Everyone ready for battle!”
The vigilantes who saw the monsters creeping in quickly moved around.
The village residents had little interest in the adventurers. Even though more than half of us died fighting among ourselves, and one person we hadn’t seen suddenly appeared.
On the first day, they acted as if we were the hope of the village and were indifferent to the point of absurdity.
‘It would be easier to just treat the residents of this floor as NPCs.’
Janey and Kim Jae-yoon also slowly prepared for battle.
Wow!!!
In the third monster wave, there were no ordinary goblins to be found. The number of monsters coming in also seemed to have decreased slightly.
However, not only did the number decrease, but the overall risk of the wave seemed to have increased. This was because hobgoblins flocked to this wave like regular goblins.
Previously, the goblins that had been hiding behind regular goblins and using them as meat shields formed a group and ran towards the wooden fence.
It looked quite threatening. It was obvious that if the three people who had just lost their lives were still alive, a dangerous situation would have arisen.
It doesn’t matter if our group is attacked by something greater than hobgoblins.
“Lower pressure!”
Wow!!
Jaeyoon Kim dealt with Hobgoblin very leisurely. The number of monsters climbing up the wooden fence increased compared to yesterday, but he had the title of Goblin Slayer like me. Thanks to that sense of intimidation, the Hobgoblin who faced Kim Jae-yoon could not help but feel slightly intimidated.
“Krrrr… ”
Suddenly!
“Keeek!”
Janey’s case was easier. Perhaps because of the large number of monsters, she fought using not only a military sword but also her special abilities. This is because thanks to the increase in abilities, it has become possible to use special abilities more actively in battle.
Janey blew away sand and bark from the fence, blocking the hobgoblin’s view and instantly slitting his throat. Some of them foolishly and reflexively released their grip on the fence and fell straight down.
However, just as I had planned to teach Kim Jae-yoon martial arts, I had to teach Janey something as well.
‘It’ll be okay because the floor we’re on right now is the second floor, but stronger enemies will appear later.’
It was clear that those who would be difficult to deal with with military bayonets alone would appear more frequently and in greater numbers.
After briefly examining the two people, I summoned a chick.
“Beep! Bye!”
The chick that landed lightly on the wooden fence looked at me and squeaked.
“Do you see those monsters over there? Can you deal with it?”
I said in a slightly worried voice. Although it was said to be a test of combat power, I did not want the contracted shinsu to be in danger.
But this guy, ignoring those worries, puffed out his chest and shouted with confidence.
“Beep!”
‘okay. This is why it’s good for chicks to gain combat experience early on.’
I don’t know if the mother thunderbird has ever caught a hobgoblin as food, but the chick was full of confidence.
Without even waiting for me to give another command, it pecked the forehead of the hobgoblin that had just climbed over the wooden fence with its beak.
Kwasik!
The hobgoblin’s skull was dented by the chick’s cute beak. The hobgoblin’s eyes rolled back as if the damage had spread to his brain, and he fell down.
For an attack from a giant chick, it was bloody powerful.
‘When you pecked at me, you did it gently.’
Come to think of it, its beak couldn’t make a hole in the battle suit like the mother thunderbird, but it had the strength to make a scratch.
The reason I wasn’t hurt even when that guy pecked at me with its beak was partly because my body was strong, but it was probably also because of the divine beast’s characteristic of being friendly to humans.
‘It’s stronger than I thought… ?’
-I guess it’s not a divine beast for no reason.
Janey and Kim Jae-yoon also made dumbfounded expressions as they saw the chick next to them squirming and repeatedly punching holes in the hobgoblin’s head.
Suddenly curious about its abilities, I opened the summon status window.
「Summon status window
Summoner name: TBC
Species: Thunderbird
Strength: 23 (+28) Dexterity: 13 (+26) Stamina: 21 (+28) Intelligence: 6 (+27) Magic: 53 (+42)”
Compared to Janey, her strength, stamina, and magical power were much higher, while her agility and intelligence were slightly lower.
Although it looks like a fluffy chick with no proper feathers, if you look at its abilities alone, it is already an excellent summon that can handle more than one person.
This was the part that helped me understand why the Summoner’s most desired summon was a divine beast.
Since I was able to stop Hobgoblins without villagers, I leisurely looked at the summon status window. At that time, I noticed that the guy’s name field was empty.
‘The name is still undecided.’
-Because we’ve only called it a chick so far.
‘The chick isn’t bad either. Then should I call it Beep?’
-… Are you serious?
I was just thinking of doing it, but Maria reacted as if she was looking at me with a straight face.
I pretended that nothing had just been said.
‘The Thunderbird is a divine beast that knows how to create lightning and wind, so it would be nice to name it that way… Lightning… ‘What name comes to mind when you think of lightning?’
-What about Zeus?
‘Isn’t it too grandiose to name a chick God’s name?’
-Originally, thunderbirds were also considered spirits or gods.
‘That’s right… ‘
Still, I felt like if I named it Zeus, it would spread seeds everywhere. I don’t know if the chick is female or male, but if so, it would be a headache for the owner either way.
I said after thinking for a while.
‘And what about Thor?’
-Thor dies from Jormungand’s poison?
‘When I watched a documentary, it was said that birds are strong against snakes. Wouldn’t that be okay? It doesn’t sound bad and it’s easy to sing because it’s just two letters.’
-… I think it’s better than Zeus.
Maria reluctantly agreed.
I laughed and said to the chick.
“Okay, from now on your name is Thor.”
“Beep!”
puck!!
The chick, or rather Thor, seemed to understand what I was saying. It screeched more fiercely than before and flapped its cute wings. At the same time, he did not forget to perform skull drilling on the hobgoblin.
It seemed like he liked the new name he was given.
Phew!
“Phew… Today is over.”
Kim Jae-yoon said as he plunged his sword into the fallen hobgoblin and confirmed the kill. It was as he said.
When I turned to look, there was a portal created in the center of the village that one person could pass through. If you go in there, you can pass the test and go to the next floor.
The tower’s residents were neither aware of the portal’s existence nor interacted with it.
“Yes, I had a hard time. Everyone.”
“Byung! Beep!”
“It wasn’t difficult.”
“It was worth it for me too.”
The group looks like they are not too tired after enduring a monster wave. I nodded with satisfaction.
I thought I could roll it a little more.
