I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 116

Semifinals (3)

Kwagagagaga!

In the place swept by Phoenix’s flames, a thoroughly scorched Arbitrator was limping.

The momentum was already completely Hikaru’s!

It was time to finish things.

– Haap!

Pusususuk!

With consecutive attacks from the Taiji Girl and Wind Archer, Olivia’s summoned creatures were reverse-summoned one by one.

“Haa.”

Olivia let out a sigh with a slightly relieved expression.

Of course she would have liked to win, but honestly, she hadn’t really expected to win when she came out.

He was one of the famous Five Emperors and ranked 2nd in the world, after all.

“You’re definitely skilled, Hikaru.”

She nodded and coolly acknowledged it.

“But you won’t beat my sister.”

Hikaru just smiled without bothering to answer that.

Whoosh!

He responded by engulfing Olivia’s remaining summoned creatures in Phoenix’s flames.

– Ah, as expected!

– To think Olivia would end so easily. Truly Hikaru!

– He reminds us once again that Rachel is the only person in the entire world who can stop Hikaru!

“Haa!”

Hong Ari, who had been watching the match with clenched fists, also exhaled.

Though it was the same Phoenix, Hikaru’s Phoenix was different in both power and splendor!

Hong Ari turned her head to look at Baek Jin-woo.

“Guild Master.”

“Yeah?”

“Shouldn’t I recruit a wind attribute too? Wind Archer? I heard that’s really strong?”

“That would be fine, but it’s not necessary.”

“Why?”

“Because its weakness is clear.”

Wind Archer’s wind arrows?

That only works on beginners who are poor at control.

‘If those wind arrows were shot at me?’

Hunkyo could neutralize them just by drawing his sword once and swinging it.

What’s the point of control.

If you catch up, that’s the end of it.

“I personally prefer extreme fire over wind-fire.”

“…What’s that?”

“Rather than mixing in wind. I think it’s better to just be strong with pure fire itself.”

In other words, like Pokryong.

She doesn’t mix in any wind either, but isn’t she incredibly strong?

‘Our Pokryong who will soon become the world’s strongest.’

Baek Jin-woo ruffled the hair of Pokryong, who was sitting right next to him.

“There’s a limit to gaining advantage through control. To really see the end… you need to be strong in itself rather than through control.”

The Tower of Trials is exactly like that.

Up to a certain point you can compete with control, but later on, all that becomes meaningless.

How heartbreaking it was to see summoned creatures torn apart before overwhelming force.

“For now, just focus on fire attribute alone.”

“Got it. If you say so, it must be absolutely right.”

The guild members’ trust in Baek Jin-woo had now reached 100%.

After showing this much, if they couldn’t trust him, that would be a matter of intelligence.

“Hyung-nim! Over there!”

It was then that Gi Jae-hyeok pointed at the broadcast screen with his finger.

England’s dice had rolled, and a woman’s face was visible.

Rachel Rose.

“Rachel’s up!”

“Oh.”

“Ohhh.”

The guild members’ attention, which had briefly focused on Hong Ari and Baek Jin-woo’s conversation, returned to the broadcast.

– Fi, finally!

– She’s finally appearing!

– Our Rachel! The strongest woman in the world!

– The owner of the S-grade Golden Dragon appears to crush Japan!

Wow.

Baek Jin-woo was also impressed.

Rachel right after Olivia?

‘Well, well.’

This match is interesting.

Right now, at this moment, he had forgotten about tomorrow’s match against the United States.

He had simply returned to being just a spectator.

The match between Hikaru and Rachel was one of the most anticipated matches.

“Whew!”

Hikaru whistled as he watched Rachel make her elegant entrance.

“…Hikaru.”

“Hey, don’t call my name. There’s no translation here. I can only speak a little English.”

Unfortunately, there were no translation birds inside the temporarily created Battle Arena.

At times like this, he missed the old Battle of Summoners days.

Back then, you could always chat, and all languages were automatically translated…

“You know? There’s never any bad blood.”

Swish!

Rachel placed her hand on her chest where a red rose was engraved.

Hikaru chuckled.

He felt like he could understand what she was saying just from the feeling.

“Bad blood, what? It was just bad luck. Of all times to meet you in the semifinals.”

The two were that close.

Actually, it was natural for all the Five Emperors to be close.

They were friends who had maintained a chat room and communicated consistently for 5 years in the game and 4 years in reality.

‘But.’

Hikaru bit his lips tightly.

‘I won’t lose easily.’

All research on the Golden Dragon she possessed was already complete.

It would be difficult, but?

It wasn’t to the point where he couldn’t compete.

Of course, summoned creature grades were important in Battle of Summoners, but the charm of this game was also being able to overcome that with strategy.

‘I’ll boldly abandon Wind Archer.’

Wind Archer, having already used all its wind arrows, was like an empty shell.

But that was fine.

Against Rachel who only used Golden Dragon anyway, mob control wasn’t necessary.

“Shall we begin?”

At Hikaru’s question.

“Okay. Let’s go.”

Kugrgrgrgrgrg…!

A small Golden Dragon coiled around Rachel, rising up around her.

After wrapping around her body a couple times, the Eastern dragon appeared above Rachel’s head with its mouth wide open!

It was truly majestic.

Dash!

The first to charge was Hikaru’s Taiji Girl.

Hikaru deliberately didn’t use the MP of other summoned creatures except for the Wind Archers.

– Kiaaaaaa!

The Golden Dragon lunged with its claws extended, but.

– Haaap!

The Taiji Girl, who had condensed the energy of all things, gently deflected that charge with the softness of Taiji.

Swish, swish swish!

Meanwhile, the two Wind Archers were providing bow support!

However.

– Kruk!

As the Golden Dragon planted its claws into the ground, golden energy began surging up from beneath where the Wind Archers stood.

Crack, crackcrack!

The power of that golden energy was tremendous, binding the Wind Archers’ bodies and breaking their bones.

– Kgah!

– Ughhh!

But.

“Falling Flames!”

With Hikaru’s shout, the Phoenix that had roared mightily dove vertically toward Rachel from the sky.

Whoooosh!

It looked like someone was holding a flamethrower in the sky and shooting it downward like crazy.

“Wow.”

Rachel was impressed.

“You’ve already unlocked the Phoenix’s potential ability?”

She was controlling the Golden Dragon to block the flames, but… that damage was tremendous.

The Taiji Girl was even continuously blowing oxygen to make the flames burn stronger.

‘Golden Dragon.’

Rachel’s lips curled slightly.

The Golden Dragon was more like a weapon than a summoned creature.

Settled in Rachel’s heart, it moved according to her control.

It felt similar to the dolls Song Yeon-hee used.

It was like the Player themselves becoming the summoned creature.

Of course, no Player in the world knew this fact.

Rachel had thoroughly hidden this truth.

– Kiaaaaaa!

The Golden Dragon began spinning faster around Rachel, sweeping away the flames.

However.

Swoosh.

Hikaru, with a serious expression, raised his hand.

Then with a swish! a new summoned creature appeared.

‘What’s that?’

Rachel’s brow furrowed.

She had wondered why he was only using four summoned creatures, but was it to show her this?

What Hikaru brought out was a green spirit.

‘A-grade Tree Spirit…’

It didn’t have much ability.

However, it was also the perfect counter to Golden Dragon-type summoned creatures.

Because it had a skill that restricted the Player’s movement.

Swoooosh!

The energy the Tree Spirit was emitting slowly extended toward Rachel.

“How did you know, Sugoi?”

“…We’ve been together long enough, haven’t we? Did you think I wouldn’t know something like that?”

“True.”

Rachel chuckled.

She had used it for almost three years, so there was no way it wouldn’t be discovered.

Especially by one of the Five Emperors.

‘But.’

There was something even Sugoi didn’t know.

The Golden Dragon’s ultimate skill!

Clench!

As Rachel clenched her fist tightly.

– Kiaaaaaaa!

The Golden Dragon roared and began ascending to the sky.

Accordingly, Rachel’s body also floated up into the air.

‘What’s that?’

Hikaru stiffened slightly at this phenomenon he was seeing for the first time.

The Phoenix’s Falling Flames were almost finished, so he could no longer do anything to the Golden Dragon with fire.

“Tree Spirit!”

Swoosh, swooosh!

Rachel’s fingers gradually stiffened from the Tree Spirit’s paralyzing poison that penetrated the Player’s barrier.

However, the ultimate skill had already been activated.

Golden Dragon!

Ascension Breath!

Kukkwagagagagagaga!

A giant dragon appeared, having neutralized all attacks and risen to the ends of the sky.

A size completely different from what usually coiled around Rachel.

At the same time.

Craaack!

The giant Golden Dragon’s mouth opened wide, and golden light shot downward from within.

Shwaaaaaaaa!

A breath with the momentum to delete everything!

“Cra, crazy.”

“What the!”

Not only Hikaru, but people all over the world who were watching stood up in shock.

“…Whoa.”

Baek Jin-woo’s eyes widened like saucers as his body froze.

The Tree Spirit had already melted away and disappeared.

The Taiji Girl that was called a damage dealer-tank?

What was that supposed to be?

It had already been decomposed beyond recognition and reverse-summoned.

Everything had ended with that single strike.

– Ah, ahhhhh!

– Ahhhhh…

The sight was so spectacular that even the commentators, who had been chattering non-stop, could only stammer “ah, ah” as if they didn’t know what to say.

Not long after.

– This is an S-grade summoned creature!

– This was Rachel’s true form…!

– This is the first time it’s been shown to the world, right? A Golden Dragon’s breath…!

– Hikaru got torn apart without being able to do anything!

“This is insane, isn’t it?”

“Hyung-nim, are we really able to beat England?”

“Even if it’s our guild master, facing such a monster is a bit….”

“That thing would honestly melt even Hunggyo.”

Even the guild members who had infinite trust in Baek Jin-woo shook their heads at that sight.

It was that tremendous.

“Wow, look at Hikaru’s expression.”

“His mouth is hanging open, he looks completely despairing?”

“…That’s understandable. All his summoned creatures melted to just one. The feeling when you meet an opponent you can’t beat no matter how much you train can only be despair.”

“….”

The breath ended.

Hikaru stiffened as he watched the Golden Dragon slowly shrinking again.

“No.”

However, one person.

Only Baek Jin-woo shook his head.

“We don’t know yet.”

“Huh?”

“We don’t know yet…. What do you mean by that, guild master. Are you saying Hikaru might be able to win?”

The guild members made expressions showing they didn’t understand.

We don’t know at this point?

“…Over there.”

Baek Jin-woo silently pointed to the bottom of the screen.

Whoosh!

A small egg burning brightly.

“Phoenix.”

Baek Jin-woo muttered and nodded.

The Phoenix that had become an egg was creating new life again.

There’s only one way to end the Phoenix’s immortality.

Finishing it off before it’s reborn.

But?

“Look over there.”

This time Baek Jin-woo pointed at Rachel.

As if the tree spirit’s poison still remained, she was frowning and fidgeting.

Even the Golden Dragon she was wearing seemed smaller than usual, as if it had used up all its remaining energy.

“She can’t move, so how is she going to deal with that?”

Sugoi hyung.

It seems like he properly prepared this time?

‘He’s improved a lot.’

Baek Jin-woo smiled with a proud expression.
