I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 113
Changed South Korea (4)
[The first match opponent is Player ‘Baek Jin-woo’!]
When that message appeared.
“Hoooooo!”
“Ahhhhhhh.”
Sighs of people echoed throughout France.
It was the kind of sound you’d hear when a soccer shot barely missed the goal in a 1:1 match.
Wow, how is this even possible?
Of all the many opponents, Baek Jin-woo gets picked first?
Of course, he was an opponent they’d have to face eventually anyway.
But this way, France might suffer the humiliation of being the first to give an opponent nation a perfect sweep.
[The called players will be summoned to the arena!]
Swoosh, swoosh!
Amadou Jean Lyon, who appeared in the set arena, also didn’t look well.
Of all people, his first opponent had to be Baek Jin-woo!
‘How am I supposed to beat that monster who’s competing for 1st and 2nd place with Rachel?’
Now everyone in the world knows.
That the being called Jinugod of Ilcheon that the Five Emperors mentioned early on was that Baek Jin-woo.
That it wasn’t some phantom beast existing in fantasy.
As soon as he was picked, his teammates said.
Please just try to do something about one summoned creature.
They wouldn’t even hope for him to defeat it, just take away some HP.
Then there might be at least a 1% hope of getting ahead.
‘No.’
Crazy bastards.
Absolutely not.
Shing!
Seeing the Training Instructor being summoned and drawing his sword right before his eyes, it seemed like he wouldn’t last even 10 seconds, let alone take away HP.
The aura was that overwhelming.
It felt like looking at Rachel’s S-grade summoned creature?
‘Damn, I’m so jealous.’
Even heaven is indifferent.
Why don’t I get such a cool summoned creature!
“Hunkyo.”
When Baek Jin-woo nodded and spoke.
Swoosh.
Hunkyo lowered his stance and prepared to leap into the air.
That movement wasn’t as fast as during the Battle Royale.
Because his stacks had reset to 0 when entering this place again.
Baek Jin-woo pursed his lips.
‘This is why Ramba isn’t very useful in PVP.’
In multi-player battles like Battle Royale, she becomes more useful as time passes, but in 1:1 matches that end in about a minute, her efficiency definitely drops.
However.
Right now, since there was a huge level difference with his opponent, it didn’t matter.
“Um…”
Looking at Hunkyo floating in the sky, Lyon spoke in English.
“It’s an honor.”
“Excuse me?”
“I’ll definitely lose 100% if I face you, but it’s still an honor to fight against the famous Jinugod.”
“Ah, yes.”
Baek Jin-woo, who roughly interpreted it, nodded.
Since he’s been traveling to various places overseas lately, he can understand basic listening.
‘I thought he was going to say something else.’
He also had no ill feelings toward his opponent.
However.
‘I need to end this quickly.’
Rachel and the British players were definitely watching, so it would be better not to reveal his fighting style as much as possible.
And the best way to do that?
End it with overwhelming force!
“Don’t blame yourself too much. It’s because I’m strong. Shall I begin?”
Swoosh.
When Baek Jin-woo sent a signal to Hunkyo.
“Hyaaaah!”
Lyon also controlled his five summoned creatures with a battle cry.
A situation where he had no choice but to do his best even knowing he would lose!
But.
Thwack!
Hunkyo, who had soared high into the sky, swung down his sword.
The energy splitting from the sword tip spread like a spider web and fell to the ground.
Kwagagagagagaga!
White sword strikes cleanly pierced between Lyon’s summoned creatures, and their HP bars instantly pointed to 0.
“…”
Lyon could only gape even though he knew the result…
Thud!
Hunkyo, who landed on the ground, stylishly sheathed his sword with a shing!
Pshhhh!
Blood from the summoned creatures gushed through the split gaps.
Simultaneously.
Thud thud thud!
Pieces of flesh from the slaughtered summoned creatures belatedly fell to the ground.
That was the end.
‘Something.’
It was the kind of scene that seemed like explosive cheers would pour out.
Baek Jin-woo bowed his head toward Lyon.
“Don’t feel wronged either. All the other players will suffer the same fate.”
“Waaaaaaah!”
“The best! Hunkyo!”
“Really. Really, truly cool… I thought I was watching a comic. How is the speed of sheathing the sword faster than the speed of flesh falling?”
“At this rate, I’m really going to fall for a summoned creature!”
It was just as Baek Jin-woo expected.
When Hunkyo’s clean attack was broadcast, the entire nation erupted in cheers.
“Really, how can such a cheat summoned creature exist?”
“That player Lyon must be quite famous in his own country too…”
“Not just famous! He’s like a representative of a country that made it to the round of 16!”
“What’s next? Who’s next!”
“Everyone bow your heads before Hunkyo!”
[France’s dice is rolling!]
[The second match opponent is Player ‘Nordi Mophe’!]
The second match was exactly the same.
Swoosh!
This time, without even running, Hunkyo slashed his sword in multiple directions and sheathed it back with a sharp clack!
Once again, that was the end!
Thud thud thud!
Pieces of flesh fell just the same.
Hunkyo’s momentum showed no signs of stopping.
[The third match opponent is Player ‘Langbali Deprevillu’!]
[The fourth match opponent is Player ‘Raphael Diara’!]
[The fifth match opponent is Player ‘Luca Tussar’!]
No matter which player came, he dealt with them all in the same manner with a single strike.
Even.
[The sixth match opponent is Player ‘Evan Parker’!]
Evan Parker, world ranking 19th, called the captain of France’s national team!
He was no different.
Of course, he couldn’t be finished in one strike like the previous players, but the process was similar.
Unable to properly block Hunkyo’s sword, he ran away, only to eventually be reverse-summoned!
Crack!
Hunkyo’s sword was both graceful and bold.
The sight of him cleanly severing Parker’s main summoned creature’s neck made the hearts of South Korean citizens feel refreshed.
How long had they waited!
Some citizens had stayed up all night wanting to see this overwhelming performance.
“Waaaahhhhh!”
“Uwaaahhhhhhh!”
Citizens screamed until their throats were hoarse.
Honk, hoooonk!
Car horns blared, and champagne was shot into the sky.
Evan Parker was finished too!
Hunkyo’s refreshing performance made the citizens in red shirts naturally bounce with excitement.
Was this a dream or reality!
Was that really France’s 1st ranked player, Evan Parker?
Moreover, Baek Jin-woo hadn’t even used his other summoned creatures yet.
With just Hunkyo alone, he was on pace to achieve a complete kill against all of France.
France was equally shocked.
“Wow.”
“Crazy…”
“Evan Parker is still world rank 19th… Does that make sense? It looks like he couldn’t do anything before losing?”
Now it wasn’t despair and lamentation, but awe.
When had South Korea become so strong?
‘The Five Emperors were really right. It wasn’t just empty words.’
‘South Korea that found Jinugod only has soaring left to do.’
‘I’m scared of how much more he’ll grow from here. It really seems like he could surpass even Rachel?’
Of course, French citizens had also been watching the previous Battle Royal matches and realizing Baek Jin-woo’s power.
They roughly knew what level he was at.
But.
Seeing with your eyes and experiencing it directly are worlds apart.
Honestly speaking, they never imagined it would be this overwhelming.
Now there was nothing French citizens could do.
Just stare blankly at the TV screen.
“Next.”
With those brief words, Baek Jin-woo waited for the seventh player.
The 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th players appeared with gloomy expressions like cattle being led to slaughter.
Swoooosh!
The result, as everyone expected, ended in a complete kill.
South Korea, quarterfinals!
That was naturally their first advancement as well.
UK Player Room.
“Wow.”
“Amazing.”
Exclamations burst out there too.
The large broadcast screen showed Hunkyo cutting down the last summoned creature.
“…He’s definitely skilled.”
Rachel, sitting with her legs crossed, nodded and muttered.
Training Instructor.
The summoned creature that had given her a headache in the Battle Royal.
That guy was no ordinary creature.
No, not just extraordinary, but incredible.
‘Something seems strange though.’
The E-rank Training Instructor she knew couldn’t reach that level no matter how good the runes embedded were.
The balance patch wasn’t because he was too strong, but because he too easily drew out other summoned creatures’ potential abilities.
‘That level is martial arts performance that usually only comes from A-rank or higher.’
What could it be?
Was his level high?
That didn’t seem likely either.
As far as she knew, Baek Jin-woo hadn’t even been properly raising summoned creatures for a full year yet… Even she, who was approaching her 4th year, didn’t have any summoned creatures over level 60 yet.
“He’s strong, but that’s his limit, sis.”
World ranking 6th, Olivia was still negative about Baek Jin-woo.
“He doesn’t use anything else besides that. I acknowledge he’s unusually strong for a non-ranker… but at that level, he’d be cut off at Bale’s line? What are you so worried about?”
At Olivia’s words, world ranking 7th Gareth Bale, who had been quietly listening, got fired up.
“Bale’s line… Hey, people might think there’s a big skill gap between us? It’s just a 1-rank difference.”
“Just?”
Olivia snorted and flipped her hair.
“You’ve been unable to overcome that ‘just’ for 3 years now, yet you talk so much.”
“What did you say?”
“Got a problem? If you have a problem, want to have a match? You’ve never beaten me in a duel either.”
Though they seemed to be bickering, the two were quite close.
Rachel’s right and left arms, so to speak.
Also, Olivia’s words weren’t completely wrong.
While the Five Emperors standing ahead were overwhelmingly strong, Olivia’s skills at 6th rank were tremendous.
The gap with Bale at 7th was actually quite significant.
“Yeah, you’re right.”
Rachel, who had been listening, also nodded.
Her gaze was still fixed on Hunkyo.
“Realistically, Baek Jin-woo lacks time to grow his summoned creatures. He’s showing that performance now because the current world rankers are all just bubbles… Against a properly equipped player, it probably won’t work.”
“See? Right?”
“However, we can’t let our guard down.”
Rachel said firmly.
“As I said before, Jinugod is someone who can’t be explained by ordinary standards.”
It was the same before.
When others said summoned creatures had limits, only he broke through those limits.
He was the one who took down that tremendous Chaos Dragon with a sub-1-minute cut, and he was the one who proudly conquered the 99th floor of the Tower of Trials.
“If we happen to face South Korea this time, I’ll give it my all.”
“Sister.”
Olivia questioned Rachel’s words.
“Do you truly believe South Korea will make it to the finals? They’ll face Jenos or Beskof in the semifinals, won’t they?”
Jenos is from the United States.
Beskof is from Russia.
Both are much stronger than Olivia, and they belong to countries with members of the Five Emperors that she deeply respects.
In other words, if Rachel’s words were true, her own hypothesis that they would be eliminated at the quarterfinal level would crumble.
“Yes.”
Rachel smiled broadly.
“I believe there’s a high probability that will happen.”
