I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 123

Finals (2)

The 3rd and 4th place match between the United States and Japan had begun.

Eternal destined rivals and friends!

It was a fight between Hikaru and Jenos.

Honestly, Baek Jin-woo had no interest in that match.

‘They’re both beneath me anyway.’

The only thing in Baek Jin-woo’s mind right now was Rachel.

How to defeat her? That was all that circled in his head.

First, the two summoned creatures Rachel could use were already decided.

Golden Dragon (S-rank).

And Baekho (S-rank).

‘This is really cheating.’

Just thinking about it already made him feel breathless.

But, well…

It’s not like only the opponent was overpowered.

‘I’m EX-rank too, after all.’

If S-rank’s very existence was cheating, then EX-rank felt like a bug the developers never thought of.

And Baek Jin-woo possessed seven EX-ranks!

Wind Fairy (EX-rank).

Training Instructor (EX-rank).

Explosive Dragon Mage (EX-rank).

Small Giant (EX-rank).

Dampir (EX-rank).

Gale Slayer (EX-rank).

Rune Dwarf (EX-rank).

‘I’ve collected quite a lot.’

Thinking about it, I’ve been really lucky.

To have gathered this much in less than a year.

‘First, I can’t use Jakgeo, Dampir, or Runde.’

Runde is a non-combat summoned creature, and I haven’t properly raised Jakgeo or Dampir yet.

Then one slot remains…

Step, step.

From morning, his footsteps headed toward the Player Zone’s marketplace.

London Market.

As the place visited by the most world rankers, it had many high-quality and rare items.

The item Baek Jin-woo was looking for was just one thing.

‘A-rank Wood Elf.’

The Golden Dragon’s weakness had already been revealed by Hikaru.

Paralyzing the player!

However.

Wood Elves are too weak, even for their weakness.

A single precision sniper summoned creature like Battle Security Guard would end it before it could even use its power.

‘But I still have to use it.’

It felt like consuming one slot each.

As long as Rachel was seriously competing, she couldn’t exclude the possibility of him using a Wood Elf.

In the end, she’d have to use some cheap sniper.

One with long range.

There could be psychological warfare with one twist here and two twists there, but Baek Jin-woo decided to adopt the Wood Elf.

‘This one doesn’t need to be high level anyway.’

It doesn’t even need runes.

It’s literally just for intimidation.

What if there’s no sniper?

Poison would spray as soon as the game started, and she’d experience body paralysis again.

The purchase wasn’t difficult.

He walked around for about 30 minutes.

Met the owner and bought it.

[South Korea’s Baek Jin-woo purchases ‘Wood Elf’ at the marketplace! Preparing for the finals?]

[Baek Jin-woo copying Hikaru! Could be psychological warfare against Rachel.]

The funny thing was.

Less than 10 minutes after purchasing, a major breaking news appeared.

It was actually good.

As the article said, it was psychological warfare.

The more he showed some kind of motion, the more Rachel would have to think about.

And not long after that.

[Japan takes final 3rd place! Hikaru’s control ultimately defeats Jenos!]

[Jenos swallows tears, is it Chimera aftereffects?]

[Yoshida Hikaru, ‘Achieved a good ending’ very satisfied with current results! Hopes England and Korea also have a good match!]

The match was over.

Japan’s victory.

‘Sugoi hyung must be really good.’

Despite having a much more disadvantageous roster, he seemed to have overcome it and achieved victory.

“No, Jin-woo! Where did you go and come back now! You didn’t even watch the match!”

As he entered the hotel, Yu Ji-a approached him first.

“And if you were going to buy a Wood Elf, you should have told me! I would have secretly gotten it for you! Articles are already up and it’s chaos. Did you see?”

“I bought it openly on purpose.”

“Oh, on purpose?”

Yu Ji-a blinked her eyes.

Baek Jin-woo chuckled.

“Is there any need to buy it secretly? I’m going to use a Wood Elf anyway. Rachel knows, experts know. Everyone in the world will know.”

“Hmm, that’s true. Then did you see this? It’s an article that came up exactly 10 seconds before you arrived.”

“What is it?”

Yu Ji-a held out her phone.

Oh.

Another article came up already?

Seeing another major breaking news up there, it definitely felt like being at the center of the world.

[Rachel gladly responds to Baek Jin-woo’s provocation!]

[As proposed, England’s National Team nine promise to compete unarmed!]

“Huh?”

Huh huh huh huh?

Baek Jin-woo’s eyes widened.

What, is this real?

She actually accepted what I just threw out there?

“Amazing. What kind of magic did you use yesterday that Rachel… would accept such a proposal? It was an impossible proposal?”

“…I just said I’d form an alliance between SKY and Red Rose.”

“What?”

Yu Ji-a’s mouth fell wide open.

What kind of nonsense is that.

What kind of guild is Red Rose?

It’s the strongest guild in England, no, the strongest guild in the world, operated by none other than Rachel.

You’re accepting a 1:1 proposal in exchange for forming an alliance with such a guild?

“…This is really incredible.”

This was proof that the Five Emperors actually valued Jinugod highly.

Moreover.

After this league, SKY would also be able to play on the world stage.

“I’m surprised too. Rachel looks different now.”

“This isn’t just surprising! The British people are going crazy right now. What kind of nonsense is this?”

“First, let’s put out an article too. I’ve confirmed it, and all national team members except me are entering unarmed. They say they’ll use contracts or whatever.”

“Ah, got it!”

Yu Ji-a nodded and hurried off.

‘This is incredible.’

It was a mega-hit event that would mark a milestone in South Korean, no, world history.

At the same time, excitement was gradually rising in her heart.

Really?

Are we really going to win?

She already felt like she could die of happiness, so what would it feel like if they actually won?

Yu Ji-a’s steps couldn’t help but quicken.

“Phew.”

Baek Jin-woo had entered a regular dungeon that appeared nearby using his given permit.

The British training ground couldn’t be trusted.

The safest place from security.

That was the dungeon.

– Master.

Baek Jin-woo immediately summoned his four summons.

Hunkyo, Ramba, Pokryong, and Doldol.

Confirming there was no one around, they floated through the air with refreshed expressions.

– Jin-woooo! Huff huff, I thought I’d die wanting to talk! Where’s the cream bread?

“Here, eat this.”

– Yesss! Jin-woo!

Ramba especially seemed to have been frustrated with her silence.

She hadn’t been able to say a single word since the Battle Royal.

– By the way, Jin-woo! That Rachel girl. Can you beat her? She was really no joke.

Munch munch!

Ramba asked while hurriedly devouring the cream bread.

– That’s right, Master. Are you planning to fight with control this time too?

“Of course.”

Baek Jin-woo looked around, searching for a wide open area.

Whoosh!

The small monsters approaching melted away in Pokryong’s flames.

“However, this time I’ll mainly use Doldol rather than you, Hunkyo.”

Gale Slayer.

A PVP-exclusive summon that wasn’t afraid of S-rank if properly equipped with runes.

Rather, it boasted bug-like power that could slice through even S-rank in an instant.

Even in Battle of Summoners, there was a record of Doldol slicing through Rachel’s prepared elites, including S-rank, in just 5 seconds.

– Doldol’s runes aren’t quite at that level yet, are they?

“Still, I have to try.”

– Then… the reason we came here is…

“Right, training.”

Baek Jin-woo gestured to Doldol.

– Krrrk…!

Doldol flew through the air and stood before him.

Swish!

The razor-sharp Judge’s scythe pointed at Hunkyo.

– Master, this is…

“Since you’re the only one close to S-rank, you’ll have to be my sparring partner.”

– It seems you’re going to refine your control of Doldol.

“Right. This is the first time I’m properly debuting on the world stage, so if I’m going to use it, I need to use it properly.”

– Very well.

Hunkyo’s eyes gleamed.

A creature whose life’s purpose and joy was training someone.

Even now, at this moment, he was delighted to be able to teach his master.

– Then since we don’t have much time, let’s go with intensive training.

How much time had passed?

Beads of sweat had formed on Baek Jin-woo’s forehead.

Tremendous concentration!

Even though he wasn’t moving his body directly, his clothes were completely soaked with sweat.

That’s how intense Hunkyo’s training was.

‘Is it over there?’

First, he had to catch Hunkyo’s movement with his eyes.

Normally he could sense it even with his eyes closed, but nothing was visible to Baek Jin-woo’s eyes as he forcibly cut off the telepathic connection.

‘Left!’

There was definitely a slight ripple from that direction.

Swish!

The moment he recognized it, Doldol charged forward like sliding.

Simultaneously.

Swoosh!

Doldol swung the scythe in a full circle!

Clang!

Unable to dodge completely, Hunkyo blocked with his sword.

“Phew!”

Having finally succeeded in attacking, Baek Jin-woo looked at Hunkyo with an expression asking if that was enough.

Swish!

Hunkyo lowered his sword and shook his head.

– Not yet, Master.

“Why? It definitely hit.”

Baek Jin-woo muttered in frustration.

Quite some time had passed.

But he still hadn’t moved beyond 【Finding the fast-moving Hunkyo】.

– Master’s eyesight is good. But that’s all. Doldol’s scythe isn’t sharp enough. Baekho’s claws would be able to block this level of attack sufficiently.

“Damn it.”

That opponent was an S-rank Baekho, so there was nothing to say.

But, well.

It didn’t matter.

If you pass through everything easily, is that really training?

Rather, he was glad that Hunkyo was approaching this seriously and intensely.

‘Today.’

I’ll definitely make you say 【This is it! Master!】 from your mouth, Hunkyo.

This time Doldol’s scythe only grazed the edge, right?

Then I need to be a bit faster.

And swing it more decisively.

“Let’s try again.”

– Understood, Master. Additionally, I think it would be good to pay a bit more attention to Doldoli’s center of gravity.

Hunkyo, who was nodding and adding his comment, was also deep in thought.

‘There’s pain.’

Though he said not yet, his arm was tingling.

With human eyes, to catch the movements of himself, a martial artist who had reached a high level, and even land such a critical hit?

‘Master is definitely an overwhelming genius.’

But he shouldn’t praise him here.

That’s how geniuses are.

You need to stimulate them more, draw more out of them.

If he’s satisfied at this point, the wall blocking his path will come much sooner.

You should never set limits for them in the first place.

‘This time I’ll go at 80% output.’

Hunkyo was enjoying this.

He was curious about his Master who followed training better than anyone, and he was also excited to see how much his Master would grow.

If his Master, who is already strong now, continues to polish himself like this?

‘Maybe later… I might really be able to leave all control to Master.’

Squeeeak!

Seeing Doldoli catch up and charge forward even though he had rushed at 80% output, Hunkyo unconsciously smiled.

Indeed, Master.

I don’t know what tomorrow’s result will be.

But there’s one thing for certain.

An incredible match will unfold!

Honestly, he was curious too.

Whether Master would win, or Rachel would win.

Realistically speaking, Rachel has the advantage, but from watching Master closely…

He really didn’t know.

‘Master, you absolutely must win.’

Scraaape!

Facing the Judge’s scythe striking down like lightning, Bang! Hunkyo struck the ground once more.
