I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 151
The Tower Has Changed (1)
Baek Jin-woo hurriedly stepped into the research institute.
Hunkyo’s words were true.
“It’s real.”
Before his eyes lay a fallen Dark Archivist (A-rank).
A grotesque creature whose entire body was tangled like black mist!
There was a large hole pierced through the center of its body, and the core that should have been there was missing.
What could have happened?
Could it be.
Is this also the reason Rachel can’t return?
– There are traces of quite an intense battle.
“Really?”
Baek Jin-woo looked around.
It was definitely true.
There were impact marks scattered across the walls, and the floor was stained with deep gouges and burn marks.
– It seems about two weeks have passed since the battle ended.
“How do you know that?”
– Look here.
Swish.
Hunkyo swept the dust accumulated on top of the Dark Archivist with his fingertip.
– For this much dust layer to form, it usually takes about two weeks. Also, look at those burn marks over there. They must have been a deep black color at first, but over time they’ve faded to a pale gray.
“Huh.”
This guy Hunkyo.
I thought he was only good at training, but what is he… a detective?
“First.”
Baek Jin-woo looked at Ramba.
“Try stacking diligently.”
– Ah, got it!
Recognizing that the atmosphere was unusual, Ramba enthusiastically waved her staff.
“Once we stack to a certain degree, let’s go outside the library.”
Originally, he didn’t know what it looked like outside the library.
When you cleared it, you would go straight outside the tower.
“Aso, Hunkyo, Doldol.”
– Yeah!
– Yes, Master.
– Kruruk…
“You guys search around this area. Report immediately if there’s anything unusual.”
Whoosh, whisk!
At Baek Jin-woo’s command, the three left the research institute.
“…”
He quietly closed his eyes.
Right.
No wonder it seemed a bit easy until now.
‘But well.’
Nothing will change.
With EX-rank fully graduated guys, there’s no dungeon that can’t be cleared.
– Master!
About 5 minutes had passed.
Hunkyo approached urgently.
– There’s something outside!
“Really?”
Baek Jin-woo jumped up.
As expected.
Is there another route?
“Guide me.”
– Yes!
Following Hunkyo outside the massive library, a window soon came into view.
A sky stained red.
Below it, the ruins of a burnt city were positioned like a giant shadow.
Collapsed buildings, debris scattered around them.
The walls were cracked all over, and the pillars were burning.
Since the entire cityscape was visible, it seemed to be located on quite a high floor.
“Ah…”
Baek Jin-woo’s mouth slightly opened as he gazed at that scene.
‘This is.’
There was no way he wouldn’t recognize it.
It was the scenery of the 52nd Floor of the Tower of Trials that he had challenged countless times.
As you advance while dealing with monsters existing everywhere, a mid-boss level demon appears in the city center.
Corrupted Lord (A-rank).
Originally the one who ruled this city, but according to the setting, it was corrupted by Asmodeus’s power.
‘But.’
The condition is exactly the same as the 51st floor.
Monster corpses were scattered everywhere in the distance…
And in the middle of the city…
“I’ll go take a quick look.”
Creak.
He opened the library window.
– Master, I’ll go with you too.
“No, I’m just going to take a quick look. Only Doldoli, follow me.”
Then he summoned the Sky Wyvern and dropped down below the city.
– Kiruruuru…!
Baek Jin-woo naturally boarded and flew toward the city center.
– Kruruk…!
Behind him followed Doldoli carrying a scythe.
And soon.
“Ah.”
Baek Jin-woo could see it.
The mid-boss Corrupted Lord (A-rank), lying dead with its heart core similarly shattered…
His head began to ache.
First, let’s think about this.
A world where the 51st and 52nd floors have been cleared.
And there must be a 53rd floor world that leads somewhere else, right?
That means…
‘There’s a strong possibility that floors 51 through 60 are completely connected.’
Originally, the Tower of Trials had a structure where a new world unfolded every 10 floors.
But?
The fact that the 52nd floor is already cleared…
Suggests one important possibility.
The possibility that Towers of Trials worldwide could be connected to each other!
Ah.
Her head grew heavier and heavier.
‘Rachel.’
Don’t tell me, you.
Are you here?
These guys.
Did you kill them all?
One month and two weeks since entering the tower.
Kwagagaga!
Rachel was located on the 53rd floor of the tower.
A battlefield stained with blood.
– Kiaaaaaaa…!
– Gwoooooooo!
This place was littered with the corpses of countless warriors.
The souls of the warriors could not rest in death, cursed by demons and wandering the battlefield as ghosts.
“Haa, haa.”
Rachel breathed roughly.
If she hadn’t rested a bit on the 52nd floor, she probably would have died from exhaustion if she had kept fighting.
Actually.
She had been flustered from the very first 51st floor.
‘It wasn’t the Dark Archivist I knew.’
It was strong in Battle of Summoners too, but in reality it was on a completely different level.
About 10 times stronger by feel?
If she hadn’t had three S-rank summoned creatures, that place would probably have been her grave.
The 52nd floor was the same.
Every single monster was so terrifying…
Especially the mid-boss, the Fallen Lord – she had to fight it continuously for an entire month.
When she finally destroyed that bastard’s core, Rachel briefly harbored hope.
Maybe she could return to Earth?
Maybe she could tell Jinugod about this and work together to find a solution?
But there was no miracle.
When she entered the Fallen Lord’s heart, this battlefield appeared.
53rd floor.
To clear this place, she had to catch all those souls…
“Great Wizard!”
At Rachel’s cry, the white-haired old man raised his staff.
Great Wizard.
7 Circles.
Radiance of Sanctum.
7th circle area magic, Radiance of Sanctum!
Temperature-based magic like Blizzard doesn’t work on them.
This kind of divine magic is perfect for souls possessed by demons.
Kwagagagaga!
The Great Wizard drew a massive circle in the sky.
Suaaaaa…!
Powerful light that purified evil spirits poured down on the battlefield like sunlight.
– Kiaaaaa!
– Kieeeeuuuaaaa…!
However.
The souls were persistent and strong.
Even while suffering, they didn’t stop charging.
– Kuheoooong!
Baekho howled in pain from his wounds, and the Golden Dragon had already shrunk.
It was because he had already used his breath attack.
‘Damn it.’
She no longer had the strength to control them.
Her arms, no, her entire body was trembling.
‘This is too hard.’
Every muscle was screaming.
So far she had slept about 2 hours a day? And even that was just light napping.
Accumulated fatigue.
Eyes that closed automatically if she lost focus for even a moment.
She felt like she was going crazy.
She wanted to sleep, even just a little.
But she couldn’t stop.
The moment she gave up here, it would be real death.
She would have to wander the nine heavens without being able to warn the world about the dangers of the Tower of Trials.
Maybe she would become one of those ghosts?
She hated that idea.
“Baekho! Hang in there just a little longer! Just until the Golden Dragon recovers his strength…!”
Of course, Rachel didn’t only have S-rank summoned creatures.
She had brought various A-rank summoned creatures as well, but they had all already been reverse-summoned.
“Great Wizard!”
Great Wizard.
3 Circles.
Divine Aegis.
Divine Protection!
Kwung!
A sacred shield fell down and concealed Rachel.
The good thing about this shield.
It could confuse the ghosts, and it also had a certain recovery effect.
It was thanks to this magic that Rachel had been able to take brief naps.
‘I want to sleep.’
Rachel’s eyes closed.
Dangerous.
When the desire to sleep overcame the survival instinct, it was a very bad situation.
Usually the last thing people who give up on life say is that they want to rest.
Grind!
Rachel gritted her teeth.
Now she didn’t need anything else.
Just clear the 53rd floor, and before going to the 54th floor…
She just wanted to sleep for an entire week.
To do that?
She had to catch every single one of those ghosts without exception!
– Kuheoooong!
Baekho cried out.
“Hueok!”
Rachel, whose eyes had been slowly closing, shook her head vigorously.
Baekho approached, bleeding profusely, and rubbed his head against Rachel’s waist.
Don’t fall asleep.
Otherwise she’d really die.
Smack!
Rachel slapped her own cheek hard to snap herself back to consciousness.
She pinched her thigh hard with her nails that had grown long over the extended period.
Trickle.
Hard enough to draw blood.
“Don’t worry.”
Then she comforted Baekho.
“I don’t die that easily.”
Another two days passed.
She said that, but it was definitely a difficult situation.
The number of ghosts wasn’t decreasing.
The Great Wizard’s mana was also scraping the bottom.
She had brought 200 ultra-expensive mana potions, but they were already gone.
– Kiiiiiiiii!
The ghosts were getting smarter and smarter.
Now even Sacred Protection didn’t work.
They weren’t afraid of the shield and tried to ram into it to break it.
‘Damn annoying bastards.’
Tears welled up in her eyes.
She could feel it.
That she was gradually getting closer to death.
– Krrrrrrrr!
Blood gushed from Baekho’s mouth.
No, it wasn’t Baekho anymore but a red tiger.
Since its whole body was covered in blood, was it a blood tiger?
‘Is this the end…’
From the moment you enter the Tower of Trials, there’s no way to resummon a summoned creature that’s been reverse-summoned.
In other words.
If Baekho died, she couldn’t clear the 54th Floor even if she died and came back to life.
‘This is the end.’
She had no mana left now.
The Great Wizard couldn’t use his power either.
Crack!
His staff also broke in the powerful ghost whirlwind.
It was terror itself.
‘I should have prepared more before coming.’
Or not?
Would it have been useless even if she had prepared this much?
Just as she was thinking that.
– Kiiiiii!
– Kiiiiiiii!
The souls that had been attacking ferociously suddenly stopped their assault.
Whoosh.
Fire blazed up from somewhere.
‘Fire?’
But the Great Wizard has no mana left?
He can’t even use 2nd Circle, let alone 3rd Circle.
But.
That fire wasn’t ordinary.
Flames hot enough to make the air sizzling were covering the entire sky.
As if a red dragon had manifested.
‘What the hell is that now.’
– Kiiiiiiiii!
– Kiiiiiiii!
The ghosts that had been so uncatchable were melting away from that single burst of flame.
Whoooooosh!
They died horribly in the widely spread conflagration.
Thump, thump!
Her heart was pounding.
Because she felt like she had experienced that flame before somehow.
And.
She could see someone in the distance.
‘No way.’
The source of that terrible flame!
In that direction was a very cute girl with red hair.
A girl Rachel knew well too.
No, these days there’s no one in the world who doesn’t know that girl.
‘Pokryong.’
And there’s only one Player in the world who can handle that Pokryong.
‘…Jinugod?’
How is he here?
Don’t tell me… Am I already dead?
Am I dreaming because I’m dead?
Or did that damn Asmodeus cast some hallucination magic?
Still.
If it’s a dream of Jinugod right before death…
That might not be so bad, she thought, and thud! her consciousness cut off.
Her strength gave out.
Thump!
Baekho caught her falling body.
And a shadow fell over them.
“Huh.”
Baek Jin-woo sighed.
“So it was real?”
Really.
Rachel was here.
How is this happening?
