I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 108
Battle Royale (3)
[South Korea, Baek Jin-woo 4 kills!]
[South Korea, Baek Jin-woo 5 kills!]
Baek Jin-woo, who had risen into the air, literally flew around.
[South Korea, Baek Jin-woo 6 kills!]
If he spotted a player while passing by?
He would descend and eliminate them immediately.
Nationality didn’t matter as long as they weren’t allied nations.
Whether they were world rankers or not made no difference to Baek Jin-woo.
‘At the current level, unless they’re one of the Five Emperors, there’s no one who could face Hunkyo.’
And this wasn’t even just any ordinary Hunkyo.
This was Hunkyo who had gained enlightenment and undergone complete transformation.
“Jin-woo! Over there!”
Hwang Ji-woo, who was leading the way on her ice bird, pointed below the high ground.
‘Oh.’
That’s it.
Supply-type items scattered throughout this vast forest!
A chest that looked like something pirates might have left on a treasure island was glowing golden.
Swoooosh!
As soon as he confirmed it, Baek Jin-woo descended.
Thud.
When he placed his hand directly on the glowing chest.
[You discover a treasure chest.]
[You obtain the item ‘Ambush’ (B-grade).]
‘Ambush?’
[Item]
[Grade: B-grade]
[Type: Bracelet]
– Battle Royale exclusive item.
– Automatically disappears when Battle Royale ends.
[Effect 1: Once every 30 minutes, you can teleport to the player farthest from the forest. Summons teleport together.]
[Effect 2: After eliminating a player, you return to your original position.]
‘Ah.’
Baek Jin-woo realized.
‘So that’s how it works.’
If he used items well, he could increase his kill count even more.
“Let’s look for more first.”
He flew around here and there, but there were fewer items than expected.
Whether there were few items or this space was ridiculously vast, he wasn’t sure…
For now, finding items came first.
“Hehe!”
The smile never left Baek A-jin’s lips.
“Father.”
“Hm?”
“I told you. You don’t need to worry about my brother.”
Working at Yubaek, she had long known Baek Jin-woo was amazing, but she hadn’t expected this level.
My goodness.
He was just appearing here and there like Hong Gil-dong himself!
– Ahhh, Baek Jin-woo! Already 12 kills!
– Even as I’m speaking, that’s 13 kills! His item utilization is incredible!
– He’s found five Ambush items now, right?
– That’s right! It seems he’s changed tactics! Hwang Ji-woo is maintaining a wide-area Frozen Field at base camp, while Baek Jin-woo is guerrilla-style slaughtering all the enemy players!
“Wow!”
“How can he be so good?”
“Hunkyo really is amazing. I got used to seeing him often, but… to think he was at this level.”
Exclamations burst out even in Yubaek City.
Baek A-jin felt like she could fly.
Father Baek Jin-chul and mother Hwang Myeong-hee didn’t show it in front of people, but their joy was evident.
How proud they must be?
They were just pretending to be calm to maintain dignity as the parents of a guild master son.
“Kuhahaha! Everyone! Look at our daughter’s ice bird! Is it okay for wings to be that beautiful? Uhahaha!”
“Honeyyyy!”
If they acted like Hwang Ji-woo’s parents over there… they worried they might embarrass their son.
Of course, the atmosphere was good.
Everyone burst into laughter and enjoyed themselves at Hwang Ji-woo’s father’s over-the-top behavior.
Everyone was relaxed.
The main screen occasionally showed Hong Ari, Gi Jae-hyeok, and others in action too.
– Let’s look at the scoreboard! Baek Jin-woo 13 kills, Hong Ari 4 kills, Gi Jae-hyeok 3 kills, Kang Geon-ho 1 kill, Oh Sun-young 1 kill! Already 21 kills total, ranking 7th among all nations! Unfortunately, Hwang Ju-won and Song Yeon-hee are dead!
– That’s okay! With 8 people still alive after an hour has passed, this is already miraculous for us!
– That’s right! This is truly an amazing moment! South Korea in 7th place! At this rate, might Baek Jin-woo really achieve the top 4 like he said?
– I hope so!
Top 4!
Those words stirred the hearts of the entire nation.
A definitive number that could proudly place their name among the summoning superpowers!
– Current 1st place is naturally England!
– Yes, that’s inevitable. All 10 of England’s members are world rankers!
– Rachel currently has 14 kills! She’s competing with Baek Jin-woo!
– Just standing shoulder to shoulder with Rachel is amazing and something to be proud of!
“Brother, please!”
Baek A-jin jumped up and shouted.
If there had been a big gap, it would be different, but with just one kill difference, it made her sweat nervously again.
And Baek A-jin wasn’t the only one feeling this way.
The entire nation felt the same.
“Baek Jin-woo! Baek Jin-woo!”
“Baek Jin-woo! Baek Jin-woo! Baek Jin-woo!”
That name everyone chanted with one heart and mind.
Baek Jin-woo was charging forward, carrying those hopes.
Slash slash slash!
Hunkyo’s sword simultaneously cut down five more summons.
He didn’t even know who the opponent was.
He simply cut them down without greeting because they appeared before his eyes.
“How many are left?”
Baek Jin-woo looked up at the sky.
[Remaining players: 443]
Already about half had been eliminated.
‘What’s my kill count?’
Now 18 people.
What was somewhat inconvenient was.
That he couldn’t determine who was currently 1st place or where he ranked while inside the game.
However, it’s not like there’s no way.
Sizzle!
Baek Jin-woo used one of the items he had obtained earlier.
[Using item ‘Scoreboard’ (E-rank).]
[Showing the kill count of the top 5 players.]
There was such an item too.
It even dropped quite frequently.
Most players would get annoyed calling it a dud, but not Baek Jin-woo.
‘If I want to aim for first place for sure, I need to keep using this.’
A scoreboard appeared in Baek Jin-woo’s vision.
[1st – England, Rose Rachel (20 kills)]
[2nd – South Korea, Baek Jin-woo (18 kills)]
[3rd – Japan, Yoshida Hikaru (15 kills)]
[4th – USA, William Jenos (14 kills)]
[5th – Russia, Alexander Beskov (14 kills)]
“Ha.”
He couldn’t help but laugh.
’20 kills?’
As expected of Rachel.
She really wasn’t messing around.
Baek Jin-woo had been giving his all from the moment he entered.
Except for when he first made contact with Hwang Ji-woo, he had focused solely on item farming and kills.
He had moved without taking a single break, yet there was a 2-kill difference.
It was probably that time when he flew to make contact with Hwang Ji-woo.
That time difference seemed to be exactly it.
‘Interesting.’
It was an emotion he hadn’t felt in a long time.
The moment his dormant competitive spirit came back to life!
‘Let’s see what you’ve got.’
If it was 443 people, there were still 343 left.
No, considering the allied nations, there would be even fewer remaining.
“Hunkyo.”
Clank!
Hunkyo shook his sword sheath.
“From now on, we fight separately. You run straight east with Ramba.”
– …?
Hunkyo looked at him with a worried expression, but Baek Jin-woo smiled.
“I’ll be fine.”
Anyway, Rachel and the Five Emperors couldn’t touch him because of the alliance.
Then?
The remaining players could be handled sufficiently with Doldoli’s control.
Plus the overpowered nature of ‘Ambush’ (B-rank)!
If he activated ambush in truly dangerous moments, he could use it for evasion too.
“Go!”
Hunkyo nodded and dashed eastward.
Sizzle!
Rachel with her golden hair.
She also tore the item ‘Scoreboard’ (E-rank).
Then she smiled brightly.
‘As expected, Baek Jin-woo.’
He was indeed Jinugod.
Otherwise, how could he keep pace with the Five Emperors?
‘Moreover, Jinugod hasn’t even been properly growing for a full year yet.’
Should she fight seriously?
Or should she let him win!
Honestly, she had received the ‘Hidden Reward’ three times over three years, so it would be fine to give it up once.
If she could buy Jinugod’s favor with that.
‘But.’
Rachel’s smile deepened.
She had been watching Baek Jin-woo for over five years.
Losing on purpose?
That would never buy his favor.
Rather, giving her all to beat him and earn his recognition was the real way to gain favor.
‘For us to need each other, I need to show that I’m at that level too.’
Craaack!
A mysterious golden dragon that rose around Rachel burst the bodies of summoned creatures.
Splash!
Blood spurted and flesh scattered everywhere.
[England, Rose Rachel 21 kills!]
[England, Rose Rachel 22 kills!]
Having taken down two players with a single move, she kicked off the ground and dashed forward.
Normally?
She would have walked leisurely, but facing Baek Jin-woo, she had no intention of letting her guard down.
1 hour, 2 hours.
Time continued to flow.
As time passed and the remaining players decreased, battles also became fewer.
It was inevitable.
The area was too vast compared to the number of players.
As a result, moments like this were also captured on the main screen.
– D-did you just see that? Hong Ari encountered England’s Olivia!
– Olivia is world ranking 6th and England’s 2nd! She’s known to be right below the Five Emperors!
– But what? They just passed by each other!
The South Korean commentators got excited.
– What could this be! We’ve often seen major powers not fighting when they encounter each other to avoid wasting strength… Could this be applying to our country too?
– Moreover, if it’s Olivia… No matter how well Hong Ari does, she’d have trouble lasting 30 seconds!
Once again, people worldwide including the commentators didn’t know the contents of the major powers’ alliance agreement.
That’s why they were getting even more excited!
– It seems like we’ve gained recognition!
– Of course! Right now the kill difference between Rachel and Baek Jin-woo is one! Just one!
Rachel 35 kills!
Baek Jin-woo 34 kills!
Moreover, in Baek Jin-woo’s case, despite sending Hunkyo elsewhere, he was struggling to catch up to Rachel’s lead.
Rachel’s speed and power were overwhelming Baek Jin-woo to that extent.
– Now there are only 153 players remaining! The battle royale will end when just 53 more are eliminated!
– South Korea’s ranking has already risen to 2nd place! Amazing! Baek Jin-woo! This is the achievement of Jinugod Baek Jin-woo!
– What are the other players doing?
– In Hikaru and Beskov’s case, they’re resting! They’re gathered with their team members enjoying a campfire!
– They’re dropping out of the ranking competition!
– Ah, this is getting interesting!
USA, Japan, Russia, and Taiwan had gathered in one place and were resting.
Having secured a solid position within the top 9, and since it didn’t seem like they could take 1st place either… watching the fight between the two as spectators!
Only the English National Team and Korean National Team were soaring through the sky, searching for players.
‘Damn it.’
Baek Jin-woo had also been running around to the point where his mouth tasted metallic.
As much as he wanted to smash the alliance agreement and everything else, he didn’t.
‘An alliance is an alliance, and I signed the contract.’
Let’s do our best.
And.
‘Let’s trust them.’
Ramba, and Hunkyo.
They were the most overpowered EX-grade summoned creatures among all the summoned creatures Baek Jin-woo had known for 10 years.
– Huff, huff.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Already 4 hours in, Ramba was swinging her staff.
Now Hunkyo’s power was nothing short of a bug.
The increased attack speed alone must be astronomical.
– ….
Feeling Ramba’s energy enveloping his entire body, Hunkyo thought.
‘At this level, even if a legendary dragon of destruction appeared, I would win.’
Full graduation of the Trinity, plus light-speed Ramba’s stacks!
The current Hunkyo could precisely slash the same spot tens of thousands of times in just 0.1 seconds.
‘The problem is.’
How to find the opponents that need to be dealt with.
– Phew.
Even so, finding and dealing with players in this vast space was nearly impossible.
But he couldn’t just stay still!
Thud thud thud!
Just as Hunkyo was darting around the forest.
Rustle!
– Hmm?
Stopping his movement technique at the sound of a presence and turning around.
Someone emerges from the bushes.
A woman with golden hair, wearing a crop top.
“…You are.”
Rachel muttered with a bewildered expression.
“Jinugod’s Training Instructor?”
She had found Hunkyo first.
