I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 121
Semifinals (8)
“Wow!”
“Whoa!”
“Really?”
Exclamations burst from the mouths of the guild members watching the screen.
Fresh blood was splattered all over the battle arena floor, and the three headless Vocalists had been reverse-summoned.
Gi Jae-hyeok and Kang Ji-ho, even Hong Ari, shot up from their seats with wide eyes.
Really.
Could he completely crush that Jenos with just control alone?
Even without a weapon?
“…”
However.
There was no excitement in Baek Jin-woo’s expression as he watched this scene.
Rather, he swept his surroundings with coldly sunken eyes.
‘There’s no way this is all there is.’
There’s definitely something more.
Jenos is one of the Five Emperors.
He can’t let his guard down.
Didn’t Hikaru also push Rachel to the very end despite being overwhelmed by her skill?
“…!”
And now!
Baek Jin-woo felt the entire ground writhing.
At the same time, the Tyrant was charging at the Training Instructor’s back again.
That movement seemed like…
‘It’s trying to make me lose focus.’
“As expected, you’re insane, Jinugod!”
It was then that Jenos shouted along with the Tyrant’s punch.
Swoosh, thwack! Tap tap tap!
The Training Instructor smoothly deflected and parried it, striking back.
Certainly, without the Vocalist’s debuff, blocking had become much easier.
“Don’t tell me you copied the Tyrant’s skill with your control? How is that possible? And the Training Instructor. That’s a sword-using summoned creature.”
“Hmm.”
Baek Jin-woo’s eyebrows twitched.
“Your tongue is unusually long for someone like you, hyung?”
“…I’m saying this because I’m genuinely surprised, man. Honestly, it’s cheating. Do you know how many times I had to synthesize skill books to get the Tyrant that skill?”
“No, that’s a lie.”
Baek Jin-woo’s gaze remained cold and heavy.
It was also wide.
From earlier, he had been taking in all the summoned creatures’ movements with his eyes, thinking and thinking again.
Jenos was definitely buying time right now.
“Come to think of it, what has that Transmutation Alchemist been doing this whole time?”
“…What about the alchemist?”
Though Jenos continued controlling the Tyrant, Baek Jin-woo definitely felt it.
The bewilderment he sensed in that response.
Did Jenos notice that part too?
“Ha.”
He laughed helplessly.
“As expected, there’s no dealing with Jinugod.”
“Jinugod, no. Baek Jin-woo, please.”
Please.
Please stop calling him Jinugod!
“Hahaha, alright. I got it. Baek Jin-woo.”
Jenos burst into hearty laughter and nodded his head.
“You’re right. That alchemist has been buying time all along. But what to do.”
Swoosh.
Jenos knelt on one knee and touched the ground.
Then the Transmutation Alchemist’s cylinder glowed once again.
“It seems like that time has already been earned.”
Baek Jin-woo bit his lower lip tightly.
The monster the Transmutation Alchemist could create, Chimera.
However, there was no way to know which Chimera transmutation skill he had learned.
Because Jenos had never publicly revealed it even once.
‘…Should I assume the worst-case scenario?’
There are weak Chimeras and strong ones.
And there are also a few cheat-level Chimeras that drastically lower the dungeon’s difficulty itself.
‘One of them is Chimera No.9…’
This one is quite peculiar.
The longer the period it’s not summoned accumulates, the more tremendous its destructive power becomes when summoned once.
‘Though it has the disadvantage that everything resets once it’s summoned.’
Why was it.
Baek Jin-woo had a feeling that Jenos would bring out Number Nine.
The ground trembling slightly.
That was Number Nine’s appearance effect.
“Training Instructor, jump.”
Whoosh!
At Baek Jin-woo’s command, the Training Instructor, who had been fighting well, instinctively shot up into the air.
“Oho.”
Jenos’s eyes gleamed.
“As expected of Baek Jin-woo!”
Just by seeing that motion alone, he knew which Chimera would appear.
Truly spine-chilling insight.
‘However.’
Jenos grinned wickedly.
This Chimera No.9 would be on a different level.
Moreover, after obtaining the Transmutation Alchemist, Jenos hadn’t brought Number Nine into the world for 2 years.
The power accumulated over 2 years would surpass most lower-floor bosses of the Tower of Trials!
“If you dodge even this, I’ll acknowledge you, Baek Jin-woo!”
Soft Alchemist.
Summon.
Chimera No.9!
Kwaaaaaa!
The ground split open, and a massive worm of enormous size burst forth from below.
Naturally, it wasn’t an ordinary worm.
It was a monster worm with hundreds of white teeth embedded in overlapping layers around its round mouth.
Crunch, crunch!
The floor was already grotesquely twisted, and stone fragments scattered in all directions.
– Hieek!
The Training Instructor is horrified.
There’s something his Master always used to say.
In the face of overwhelming power, control and everything else becomes useless.
That earthworm was exactly like that.
If I had to bring something to compare it to, it felt similar to the Golden Dragon’s Ascension Breath?
“Focus, Hunkyo.”
Kwagagagang!
Hunkyo’s fists and kicks struck the rising earthworm’s teeth.
Even when it didn’t work, there was no retreat.
Instead, he climbed on top and grabbed one of the teeth.
“It was a bit awkward without a sword, but Number Nine’s tooth should be useful.”
That’s right, Master!
Hunkyo tensed his face and gripped the sharp tooth tightly while channeling energy into his hands.
Juruk!
His flesh was cut and blood flowed, but he didn’t care.
“That’s right, Brother Jenos. It has to be at least this much to be interesting.”
That’s what the Five Emperors are!
“If you had only prepared Tyrant control to face me, I would have been disappointed.”
Puhwaak!
Hunkyo pulled out the chimera’s tooth.
– Kieeeeeeeeeek!
Green acidic liquid sprayed in all directions from inside its mouth, but Hunkyo twisted his body in midair and dodged it like flowing water.
Hwiririik!
After doing a somersault in the air.
Due to gravity, he fell back down.
At the same time.
Puuk!
He readjusted his grip on the tooth he was holding and plunged it straight into the chimera’s hide.
Chwareureureuk!
It was so sharp that the creature’s tough-looking skin began to split open.
Jenos wasn’t just standing by and watching either.
“Tyrant! Rising Dragon Fist!”
The Tyrant waiting below shot up like an ascending dragon.
‘Let’s focus.’
Jenos’s heart was pounding.
Chimera No.9 was his arrangement that he had prepared for two years to face Rachel.
An irregular named Jinugod had suddenly appeared, forcing him to play his card first.
‘Now that it’s come to this, I absolutely must win.’
If he lost after using up a 2-year cooldown?
The loss would be enormous.
But…
Could he really win?
Certainly from Chimera No.9’s appearance, the situation was in his favor.
But look at that Baek Jin-woo’s expression.
Would a mathematician facing a difficult problem look like that?
Expressionless yet filled with ecstasy.
Even more.
Hwiririik!
Hunkyo let go of the tooth he was stabbing down with and kicked off the chimera’s hide to dodge the Rising Dragon Fist!
There was a clear smile drawn on his lips.
‘Damn it.’
It was always like this.
Even when he created an absurdly overwhelming situation, Baek Jin-woo always broke through it.
Every time.
Every time he challenged, the result was the same.
Hunkyo, who had spun once in the air, threw his fist again.
A punch that split into three directions!
‘Again.’
That damn summoned creature was copying Tyrant’s punches again.
And this time even…
“Hunkyo! Rising Dragon Fist!”
Pababababat!
Hunkyo, who had been falling, ascended as he was and stretched his fist upward.
The form, power, and speed were exactly the same as what Tyrant had displayed.
“No way, that’s really cheating!”
When you run the Supreme Thursday Dungeon countless times, high-grade skill books appear at very low probability.
The work of infinitely synthesizing those high-grade skill books and extracting the desired skills!
All players go through that process.
And yet.
“Where else can you copy skills with control!”
Where else indeed, right here.
Hunkyo, who had unleashed the Rising Dragon Fist, grabbed the tooth he had stuck in earlier again.
“Sorry, but Brother Jenos.”
Although it was a short tooth, it was perfectly usable as a sword substitute.
The power difference between Hunkyo using fists and Hunkyo using a sword was like heaven and earth!
Kwagagagaga!
Eight sword strikes unfolded in an instant.
Six small sword strikes precisely pierced Tyrant’s vital points, and two large sword strikes cut and slashed the chimera’s split hide once more.
Puhwaaak!
The space turned red with blood.
“Whether it was against Bae Oh-seo or now. I’ve never lost. I have no intention of losing in the future either.”
He doesn’t know how to lose!
That’s why his summoned creatures follow Baek Jin-woo’s commands with conviction.
“Especially against these types of monsters.”
Chimera No.9?
To Baek Jin-woo, who conquered the Tower of Trials, it was just one of many ordinary monsters.
It was actually much easier and more familiar than humanoid summoned creatures.
– Kieeeeeee!
The chimera let out a scream.
For about one minute, tremendous skills and offense and defense were exchanged…
But to put it simply, it went like this.
The chimera and Tyrant’s attacks couldn’t reach Hunkyo, while Hunkyo’s attacks continuously dealt critical hits to them.
“Ah.”
Jenos opened his mouth and looked up at the sky as if giving up.
That monster he had prepared to beat Rachel just once…
Was falling to an even more monstrous creature.
– Kiek, kieeeek!
It was going mad with agony.
Swaeeeeek!
Hunkyo climbed up the earthworm’s body as if to end its suffering.
The already battered chimera was just writhing as if it had no interest in Hunkyo.
And.
Thud!
The fangs pierced into the chimera’s head.
Squelch, thud! Splurt! Thud!
Pull out, stab, pull out, stab again.
Hunkyo’s sword strikes, already stained red, dug into the worm’s head and continued to deliver critical hits.
“….”
Soon.
The strength left the worm’s body.
As it lost the power to support its towering head, it swayed left and right a few times before collapsing to the ground.
Kwaaaaang!
The chimera fell with a tremendous roar.
Only then did a satisfied smile bloom on Baek Jin-woo’s lips.
‘Yes.’
Just as he had aimed from the beginning, winning with just Hunkyo alone!
It had succeeded perfectly.
“Wow.”
“Woah….”
“….”
A brief silence fell over South Korea, with only low exclamations flowing out.
An unbelievable battle scene that couldn’t even be made into a movie.
That scene was being captured directly in the spectators’ eyes.
Really.
Was this really the power of our country’s Player!
With just a single summoned creature.
He was overwhelming that ridiculous summoned creature of Jenos.
Not just Hunkyo, but Baek Jin-woo was insane too.
Even with protective barriers around him, he didn’t blink an eye inside that battlefield.
Watching for openings.
When found, he struck sharply.
The result.
Kwaaaaang!
The chimera that seemed like it would never lose had fallen.
The victor was South Korea’s Baek Jin-woo!
– …He, he really won…!
– With unbelievable combat power, he defeated America’s Jenos…!
– Then, then the finals?
Also, the moment he defeated Jenos.
His advancement to the finals was 100% confirmed.
– Yes! The finals! It’s the finals! Our country is writing a finals miracle!
Along with the commentators’ roar.
“Waaaaaaaah!”
“Uwaaaaaaah!”
Thunderous cheers poured out across all of South Korea.
They cheered, shed tears, and went wild with excitement.
And.
“Good work, Hunkyo.”
– …!
The screen showed Baek Jin-woo patting the shoulder of Hunkyo, who had dealt with both summoned creatures and approached him, bowing his head loyally.
