47 – Evolution, not Change

* * *

Thumb thump thump thump!

A man who was striking a shotgun at his desk remembered that the subordinate who had submitted the report was still waiting and cleared his throat.

“Keuheum- So what’s the conclusion?”

“… They said they couldn’t find any clues that could identify our organization due to the priest’s ‘arrangement’. This is an internal document taken by our staff assigned to the administration office.”

“Hmm- Has the underground space been cleaned?”

“Yes, Elder.”

The man called the elder, who thought for a moment with his hands clasped on the table, spoke again.

“Then you couldn’t even find out who the bastards were interfering with us?”

“······ It’s hard to figure out at the moment.”

“Currently? Can you find it if you give it time?”

“·······.”

“Huu- Certainly, there was a priest in that district until the offering was given. Then, after that… What is the list?”

“It’s on the last page of the data I gave you.”

Pararak-

After looking through the list for a while, the man cupped his forehead with his fingers, sighed, and waved his hand at the reporter.

“Then-“

After the reporter left the office, the man sighed and said quietly while looking at the nearly 1,000 people on the list.

“There will definitely be a price to pay…”

His hands stroking the broken desk were still trembling with rage.

“But we didn’t do anything wrong, so why did we need to hide it?”

Yeonhee asked while shaking Wang Wangi, which was spread like glutinous rice cakes on the floor.

‘No matter how bad they are, if they killed 11 people, they’d be tired in some way. Besides, there’s no need to tell Jo Ki-man about his performance.’

I shrugged her shoulders, and she fingered her chin for a moment with her serious face.

“Um… Eight, I don’t know!”

Yeon-hee, lying flat on the floor, took out two gray-brown summoning scrolls.

“Draw when you’re upset! Leave one and use two!”

With three extra cards in total, she consumed two, and two Lizardmen were added without fail.

To date, there are a total of 7 Lizardmen.

“You are Lizard 6, you are Lizard 7. Did you understand?”

Chuleup- Churup-

Two Lizardmen flicked their tongues and signaled that they knew.

“If the probability is 90%, at least one other kid will come out, but they keep coming out. Well, I like it.”

It seemed that the probability of fixing the summoned number from the summoning scroll was 90%.

‘It’s important that a good guy be summoned in the early stages of the summoning scroll’s rank.’

This time, the strongest Lizardmen among the lower classes were lucky enough to form a Lizard unit at the beginning, but it would have been difficult to achieve a concentration of power if only the weak ones continued to appear.

“Summons have subtly different wavelengths, so it’s hard to maintain them if you put too many types into the battlefield.”

‘That’s right… That’s why I fixed it as a Lizardman early on. It’s amazing just holding on to the mental strength that keeps so many summons alive during battle, but he’s also quite good at his role as an archer… It’s surprising. That’s why he could only be called a genius.’

It wasn’t simply a matter of having more or less mana. Anyone who handles magic knows how delicate and high-level work it is to control it, even without saying it.

However, Yeon-hee could not help but be surprised to see that she was juggling 10 pieces while others were juggling with 3 pieces.

Yeonhee also summoned Lizard 1 and ordered that 6 and 7 be trained.

I wondered if that guy, No. 1, Would understand such an order, but Lizard No. 1 Took the two newly summoned ones to a corner and whispered something.

‘Wow… That’s it?’

I didn’t know if they were really giving combat-related training, but looking at No. 6 And No. 7, Who nodded their heads earnestly, it seemed like they were following Yeon-hee’s orders well.

‘Well, it seems that I moved quite systematically during the battle. So, does that mean that No. 1 Is acting as the captain?’

Looking closely at No. 1, Who was not very interested in it, he was noticeably taller than the new ones, and the color of his scales was closer to a darker green. It must have been an effect that he also went through battles and leveled up a lot.

‘Hmm- I wonder if those guys will do something like a job change someday…’

If that happened, it would be greatly welcomed. Even now, Lizardman was showing more than I expected.

“First of all… Move to a two-room room…”

She had been looking for a place to move to for several days as her contract date was imminent.

The next day, we lightly subdued the Ent Forest once more, and with the money Yeon-hee saved while living as a hunter, we got a new home not far from the studio.

I thought there wouldn’t be much luggage to move, but Yeon-hee’s mother couldn’t bear to throw away the household items that had been touched by her mother, so it was quite a move.

“It’s more than I thought…”

She scratched her head in embarrassment, but stuck out her tongue as I quickly stored my belongings in my inventory.

I was summoned back to my new home, took out all the stuff I had put in the subspace, and organized it one by one.

‘It’s a little wider… But it’s still narrow.’

The place I originally lived in was also a studio close to a two-room, but this place definitely had a ‘living room’.

“The contract is for one year. Can I move to another place within one year?”

Nod-

“Ugh- Okay. We’ve been working too hard lately, so let’s just rest and not do anything today.”

‘··· Take a break… What are you doing to rest?’

I couldn’t think of anything because it was a common place without a TV, but she literally lay on the floor all day doing nothing.

Seeing Yeon-hee fiddling with her smart phone while holding Wang Wang-i, who has grown significantly fatter, I realize that she sometimes forgets that this child has just turned 20.

‘Hmm- then I…’

It was time to make a decision.

Skull Bomber

– Recognized as the most heterogeneous class in the close-combat-oriented undead class, the battlefield slayer leading the battle with magic bombs. It has extremely high attack power and receives positive corrections to all abilities related to magical power. However, the increase in strength is limited.

Perk: +30% damage when attacking an enemy

‘If you want to double your stealth ability, you’d better choose this one. And if I get that ability later, there will be a synergistic effect.’

– Would you like to change your job to a Skull Bomber?

It was a moment when I was so tense that my finger bones trembled.

‘Whoa… I’m changing jobs.’

Deodeuk- Kwajijik-!

As soon as he chose his former job, small lines descending from his skull pierced his bones and began to spread rapidly throughout his body.

The lines were like small passages like blood vessels, and they looked like component circuits that I saw in an article.

– There are characteristics that are compatible with the characteristics obtained through the previous job. Would you like to fuse?

– There are skills that are compatible with the skills acquired from the previous job. Would you like to fuse?

It was difficult to adapt to the heightened level of the body, but I urged my choice regardless of the message.

‘I have to tell you what happens when you fuse, you bastard…’

Although I was dissatisfied with myself, the word fusion felt very positive, so I immediately agreed.

– Attributes obtained from the previous job are fused with Obez’s Blessing to greatly enhance the effect.

—–

Obez’s Blessing

– A small blessing bestowed by Obez, who became the starting point of the Fire Monkeys.

– Additional damage +120% (+100%) when attacking with fire property

—–

‘Crazy?! It went up 100%?’

Perhaps the characteristics obtained while changing jobs had similar effects to Obez’s blessing, and the values of the existing characteristics increased significantly.

– [Lesser Flame Bullets] Have been fused with the skill obtained from the previous job, and the quantity and damage that can be stored has increased significantly.

—–

Skull Bomb

– The bones of the monsters you killed are processed into magic bombs and stored, and when needed, they are thrown to inflict damage (300% of magic attack power).

– The higher the grade of the processed bone, the more damage occurs.

– In storage 0/50

—–

‘3, 300%… Besides, you can stock up to 50 of them. But is it possible to have bones? This might be a bit tiring… But I do have quite a stockpile of bones from goblins, big bores, and fire monkeys…’

Anyway, the main skill’s damage has increased significantly, so it was a very successful change.

‘Shouldn’t this be called evolution, not the level of advancement?’

I shook my head and looked at the change in my ability level.

—–

[Skull Bomber Sun Moon – Lv.24]

‘What? Didn’t your intelligence level change to wisdom? So, is the Skeleton Bomber a magic type?’

Normally, the value displayed as intelligence works for magic-based attacks, but it is less effective.

For example, before I changed jobs, I was able to use low-class fire bullets. Assuming that I just madly shot intelligence because I wanted to strengthen the attack power of the flame bullet, I probably wouldn’t have gotten a satisfactory result.

From noble mtl dot com

Intelligence is because the coefficient that increases magic attack power is low. Instead, when encountering a situation or phenomenon, there is an effect of increasing the ability to recognize, think, and respond.

However, the coefficient of increasing the power of an attack using magical power is also high in the wisdom level of magic classes.

Instead, if a class with Wisdom values invests the stats obtained from leveling up in strength, it only rises by 1. The perk that goes up by 5 every 5 levels doesn’t apply, so it only goes up by 3.

In short, even if you want to invest in muscle strength, you become a body that can’t do it.

In the description of the Skeleton Bomber, there was a part that said there were restrictions on increasing strength, but I think this was what I was referring to.

Looking at the name of the job, Skeleton Bomber, I was not expecting much from magic, but it turned out to be a jackpot unexpectedly.

‘A whopping 30 Wisdom… 20 Magic, 5 Resistance, 10 Recovery… This level is comparable to the 2nd Awakening.’
