I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 115
Semifinals (2)
The semifinals began with the match between England and Japan.
10 AM.
The entire Korean National Team gathered in a large VIP room.
Since watching high-level matches was training in itself, they decided to watch and analyze the broadcast together!
“Wow, England’s roster is absolutely insane, isn’t it?”
“Japan’s crazy too, but England is really on another level.”
“They didn’t win the league three times in a row for nothing, right?”
Although Japan competes with the United States for 2nd and 3rd place in the world, there’s still a huge gap between them and England.
To understand that difference, you just need to look at the top-tier roster.
[England’s Top Rankers, Three]
1. World Ranking 1st, Rachel Rose
2. World Ranking 6th, Olivia Abernathy
3. World Ranking 7th, Gareth Bale
England has three single-digit rankers.
People who rank in the top ten in the world!
On the other hand, Japan?
[Japan’s Top Rankers, Three]
1. World Ranking 2nd, Yoshida Hikaru
2. World Ranking 14th, Shirato Sakura
3. World Ranking 30th, Takahashi Shusuke
You can already feel the drop in class.
Especially in Shusuke’s case, they had experienced him once in a friendly match.
‘He got crushed by our monster guild master.’
‘But well, there’s only one reason Japan is strong.’
‘It’s similar to why South Korea is strong.’
Since this is a tournament, it’s an unavoidable phenomenon.
Regardless of the roster.
It’s a match where one strongest person just needs to hold out.
And Japan has him.
‘Yoshida Hikaru.’
A genius of control.
A man known for his unparalleled ability to understand summoned creatures and exploit their weaknesses.
‘In the end, it’s a fight of how long Hikaru can hold out.’
More precisely, it’s a fight of whether Hikaru can break through Rachel or not.
“Everyone have a cool iced americano while watching!”
The player who bought coffee from outside was Hwang Ji-woo.
Was she sorry for not being able to participate even once since the Battle Royal?
She seemed to be acting quite nicely toward the guild members.
“Oh, where did you get this?”
“Right? There aren’t many places selling iced americanos in London.”
“Thanks, I’ll enjoy it.”
Hwang Ji-woo smiled brightly as she watched them receive their drinks one by one.
“Franchise stores all have them. Oh, here! Guild Master gets the biggest one!”
She hadn’t bought the same for everyone.
She had specially ordered a big big size just for Baek Jin-woo.
“Why… me?”
“Of course! You’re our boss!”
Was this thoughtful?
When the other guild members glanced over, Hwang Ji-woo frowned deeply.
“What! What is it! I bought this with my own money and waited in line myself! If you have complaints, go get it yourself!”
Ah.
She wasn’t being nice, she was being feisty.
Though young, she was the type to say everything she wanted with a pouty expression.
“No, no.”
“We were just looking, why are you like that.”
“We have no complaints, big sister!”
The guild members who broke out in cold sweat turned their heads.
“Thank you.”
Baek Jin-woo smiled as he received it.
It seemed to be her own way of expressing gratitude, and that sentiment was quite touching.
“Alright, alright, it’s starting!”
“Who will be the first batter!”
All the guild members showed interested expressions.
Baek Jin-woo also pulled up a chair and began focusing on the video.
Indeed.
The match was intense.
Accordingly, London’s atmosphere also heated up.
“Olivia! Olivia!”
“Win! Crush that Hikaru!”
“Waaaaaaah!”
Even though it was a VIP room with decent soundproofing, the cheers from outside echoed loudly.
Both countries initially sent out lower-ranked players.
Though they’re called lower rankers, they’d be top rankers if they came to our country.
Everything is relative, after all.
After several matches proceeded like this.
Olivia’s solo run began when she appeared for England.
The dark whip of her ‘Arbitrator’ (A-grade) pierced through Japanese rankers’ chests and shattered their mentals.
“Lightning Strike.”
Crackle!
When the Arbitrator’s ultimate skill, Lightning Strike, fell, all summoned creatures froze while electrocuted.
Simultaneously.
Swoosh!
The flying whip pierced the summoned creature’s vital point, dropping its HP to 0.
– Olivia Abernathy! She continues her winning streak!
– Incredible control! The Arbitrator I know seems to be on a different level!
The Arbitrator is a quite famous PVP-exclusive summoned creature.
That’s why it’s occasionally seen in the World League, and it’s also extremely expensive.
But the Arbitrator that Olivia used was on a completely different dimension.
Though they didn’t know what runes she had equipped, it was fast and strong…
And her control was exceptional.
– As expected, Japan is helpless before Olivia too.
– At this rate, will everything really be settled at Olivia’s level?
– Will this be the first time it ends without Rachel’s appearance?
The English commentators were excited.
Since the players themselves were too strong, they knew they’d win anyway…
But wouldn’t it be more thrilling if they won in an even more dramatic way?
In short, if Olivia caught everyone, the World League would end and the rankings would change.
World Ranking 1st, Rachel Rose
World Ranking 2nd place, Olivia Abernathy
Like this.
England was drawing this picture, but Japan couldn’t just sit still either.
– The next opponent is Yoshida Hikaru!
– Oje!
– That’s right! Finally, Japan’s real final boss appears!
Step.
One of the Oje (Five Emperors).
A Japanese man with quite smooth jawlines appeared on stage.
‘Finally.’
Baek Jin-woo’s eyes also lit up as he concentrated.
‘Sugoi hyung.’
He had seen Hikaru in videos quite often, but this was the first time seeing this year’s Hikaru.
Best decks changing in the ranker scene was commonplace.
The past Hikaru and the current Hikaru would be completely different beings.
Unless you had EX-grade summons like Baek Jin-woo, or S-grade summons like Rachel… If you were going to raise only A-grade ones, the accepted theory was to raise countless numbers and then configure your deck according to the situation.
‘I wonder what he brought?’
Swoosh!
As Hikaru extended his arm, one summon appeared.
The commentators quickly relayed it.
– Taiji Girl! It’s the A-grade Taiji Girl!
– A tanker, right? A martial arts world summon based on China’s Taijiquan!
– It’s ambiguous to simply call her a tanker. To be precise, she could be seen as a damage-dealing tank! The Taiji Girl that Hikaru uses deals considerable damage too!
‘Ho.’
Baek Jin-woo’s eyes lit up.
A Wind attribute Taiji Girl.
He knew this was a combination Sugoi frequently used during Battle of Summoners as well.
‘That means.’
Baek Jin-woo immediately predicted the next summon.
‘Wind Archer.’
– Yes, the next summon is Wind Archer! A wind attribute archer summon! Is he planning to cover everything with wind attributes?
No, that couldn’t be.
Baek Jin-woo chuckled.
Taiji Girl and Wind Archer weren’t quite full dealers.
Just one thing.
They could mob.
To forcibly gather and deal with five summons…
‘You’d need a Fire attribute summon with high damage coefficients.’
Wind and Fire.
Any Battle of Summoners veteran would know that these two attributes went very well together.
And the best Fire attribute summon he knew was…
– Phoenix! It’s Phoenix!
– Hikaru pulls out Phoenix!
“What!”
Hong Ari shot up from her seat.
Her reaction showed she never expected Hikaru to bring out the exact same type of summon she was using.
“Watch carefully.”
Baek Jin-woo muttered.
“You’ll be able to broaden your knowledge about Phoenix usage.”
Gulp.
Hong Ari swallowed.
And.
Kwaaaaaaaaa!
The full-scale battle between Olivia and Hikaru began.
“Die!”
As Olivia shouted, the Arbitrator spewed lightning.
Bzzzzt!
A vicious lightning bolt that looked like high voltage rushed toward the Taiji Girl.
– Kkeut!
The Taiji Girl was expected to easily dodge by stepping, but due to the snake-like bending whip, she ultimately allowed the attack.
Puhwak!
Blood burst.
The Taiji Girl was now covered in blood.
However.
– Huaaaap!
The Taiji Girl, controlling yin-yang energy with both hands, endured the attack with a battle cry.
She was pushed back about two steps, but didn’t fall.
Simultaneously.
Pying!
The Wind Archer drew and released the bowstring, and a formless wind arrow was shot.
“Damn.”
Olivia’s eyes widened.
She had already anticipated even that move through countless training!
“Arbitrator!”
Olivia had a total of three Arbitrators.
The two waiting Arbitrators each kicked off the ground and rushed forward.
‘I absolutely cannot allow that arrow.’
The Wind Archer’s arrow showed tremendous suction power, pulling the body to its origin point… but it had a clear weakness.
The arrow itself had extremely low HP at 1/1!
‘That means.’
It meant you just had to find and strike down the arrow itself.
Swish!
The moment the Arbitrator sensed the arrow’s presence and swung its whip, both players’ time seemed to slow down.
Tremendous concentration!
Just as the extended Arbitrator’s whip was about to cancel out the wind arrow, the arrow’s trajectory changed.
It was Hikaru’s control.
‘Where are you going!’
Eyes widening, Olivia put full strength into her left foot.
The whip’s trajectory bent accordingly.
Swish!
But then, the arrow returned to its original position in response.
‘Crazy. Was that a fake?’
Olivia was shocked.
She could understand a swordsman using body feints, but an archer using arrow trajectory feints?
It was truly tremendous control and archery.
However, Olivia still had one more Arbitrator.
‘I knew it would come to this, so I had the whip swing late.’
Swish!
The whip of the Arbitrator from behind met the wind arrow.
Passeuk!
The wind arrow crumbled with just a single blow.
‘I did it!’
Olivia cheered inwardly.
She had blocked the attack of that Hikaru, famous for his control, for the first time.
‘Moreover, the wind arrow is the ultimate skill among ultimate skills that requires 70% MP consumption.’
Now that Wind Archer had served its purpose.
Which meant?
‘This time I might actually be able to win!’
Olivia’s eyes filled with longing.
However.
Whiiiiiiiing!
It was then that a fierce whirlwind began to surge up in Olivia’s formation.
“What?”
Swish!
When she turned her head.
Another wind arrow was embedded in the ground right behind her.
“H-how!”
How could there be two wind arrows?
Looking toward Hikaru with eyes wide as lanterns.
He was waving his hand with a grin.
“Bye-bye, Olivia.”
Next to him was another Wind Archer.
‘Damn it!’
He had brought two more in case one got blocked!
Kwaaaaaaaak!
The whirlwind surging from the wind arrow began pulling in all five of Olivia’s summons.
And there, in succession.
– Haaaaaaah!
The Girl launched a gale attack.
The final finishing blow.
– Kiruuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Phoenix breathed flames into the center.
Whoosh, whoooosh!
The already hot stream of fire rode the wind attribute and grew madly in size.
Naturally.
Olivia’s Summon’s HP was also drastically cut down.
Just one move.
That difference caused tremendous losses!
It was truly Hikaru.
