I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 160

54th Floor of the Tower of Trials (2)

Patrol Guard.

Usually a duty assigned to apprentice soldiers of the Holy Kingdom.

They have almost no combat experience and have only learned basic swordsmanship and shield defense techniques.

They’re basically only responsible for maintaining order in the city.

Then, as they gain experience, they participate in wars.

“What’s going on!”

Clatter clatter clank!

Along with the jingling sound of armor, three patrol guards came running.

When Baek Jin-woo and the waitress were causing a commotion, the restaurant owner had sent an errand boy to call them.

The waitress who had rushed outside immediately pointed accusingly at Baek Jin-woo.

“That, that man ate food without paying! Please arrest him immediately!”

The patrol guards’ gazes focused on Baek Jin-woo.

Among them, the one who appeared to be the senior stepped forward.

“Is that true?”

“Yes.”

“…Yes? You’re saying it’s true?”

The patrol guard tilted his head.

Usually wouldn’t someone say no at this point?

If it’s true, couldn’t he just pay the money?

“Ahem, then please come along quietly. You’ll need to come with us for a formal investigation. Dining and dashing is strictly prohibited in Lumentia.”

“Skip the investigation.”

Swish.

When Baek Jin-woo lightly nodded his head, Hunkyo drew his sword.

Shing!

As Hunkyo’s sword gleamed with a sharp sound.

“What, what!”

“He drew his sword!”

“What exactly does that man do?”

The spectators in the restaurant all panicked and murmured in unison.

Shing, shing!

The patrol guards also drew their swords in unison.

“Wh, what are you doing!”

“Don’t make this bigger than it needs to be!”

The surroundings were instantly thrown into chaos.

Some hurriedly left their seats, while others watched the situation with curious eyes from a distance.

And then.

Thunk!

Hunkyo’s blade struck the patrol guard’s abdomen at tremendous speed.

“This, this crazy!”

A soldier standing nearby raised his sword in surprise, but.

Thunk!

This time, Aso’s sword hilt from behind struck precisely at his nape.

Perfect pressure point strike!

Thud, thud!

The speed at which the two soldiers collapsed was instantaneous.

‘In, incredible skill!’

As the frightened senior soldier stood there not knowing what to do, Baek Jin-woo smiled gently.

“Go and bring someone stronger.”

“Wh, what do you mean?”

“Whether it’s knight trainees, paladins, captains, royal guards, or champions… Just bring them all.”

Baek Jin-woo recited the Holy Kingdom’s military forces in order.

Whatever the case.

From now on, he had to show them.

That they were incredibly strong.

That they were resources that could be of sufficient help in the battle against Asmodeus.

The King would only move if that was the case.

“This, this is terrible!”

The news spread quickly.

“Some suspicious person is causing trouble inside the city!”

“Causing trouble?”

Alexion, a paladin of the Holy Kingdom, looked at the soldier before him with cold eyes.

“Are you coming to me because you can’t handle one suspicious person?”

“…This isn’t ordinary. First we sent three patrol guards, then we sent ten patrol guards, but they were all defeated.”

Ten patrol guards.

That level should be handled by knight trainees.

‘But the fact that they came here.’

Does that mean it’s a more formidable opponent?

As Alexion quietly observed, the soldier quickly continued.

“We sent soldiers with war experience again, and even deployed five knight trainees… but they couldn’t even touch the hem of those suspicious people’s clothes. Two who use swords, one monster who uses a scythe… And there’s a fairy who wields something like a staff, with extraordinary skills. Like watching a champion…”

“Hey!”

Alexion cut off the soldier’s words.

“How dare you carelessly mention that sacred name.”

“I, I’m sorry.”

Champions are the King’s warriors.

If there are captains above paladins, then there are champions above royal guards.

Champions are the highest beings in Lumentia, believed to be blessed by God.

“Anyway, you’re saying five trainees couldn’t even touch them?”

“That’s correct.”

“Hmm.”

Alexion’s gaze sharpened.

Then the situation is quite serious.

‘How dare they.’

To think of causing trouble in the Holy Kingdom.

The kingdom’s prestige isn’t what it used to be.

He shook his head briefly, then slowly rose from his seat.

“Lead the way.”

He picked up his sword hilt and white shield, adding.

“This doesn’t seem like a simple dispute, so I’ll step in personally to resolve it.”

He couldn’t just leave alone those who violated the kingdom’s laws.

‘Ho.’

Baek Jin-woo lightly tilted his head.

‘A paladin already?’

Paladins are holy knights.

The main force of the Holy Kingdom that fights against monsters and demons!

This world definitely seems to have received about ten times more upgrade buffs than the game…

‘His stance is perfect.’

The arm holding the shield was firmly fixed, and the hand gripping the sword was stable without trembling.

The Holy Kingdom must have hundreds of such resources, so they’ll definitely be quite helpful.

“You bastards….”

Alexion muttered while biting his lips, his sword hanging loose.

“Are you those troublemakers causing the commotion?”

At the same time.

Swish.

He turned his head to examine each of their appearances one by one.

A man holding a sword.

A girl holding a sword.

And a monster holding a scythe.

‘What is this.’

This was the first time he felt uneasy about opponents without even fighting them.

‘I can’t gauge their abilities at all.’

However.

There was no way his spirit could break without even fighting properly.

Just as Alexion steeled his resolve and was about to raise his sword.

– Aso.

Hunkyo spoke up.

– Hm?

– You handle that one.

– Me?

– Yes, he should be fine as your practice opponent. Haven’t you been lacking real combat experience lately.

– Hooo, is he that strong?

Alexion’s eyebrows twitched.

What were they talking about right now?

Against him, a Paladin, what?

Practice opponent?

To become a Paladin, one must train as an apprentice for over 20 years.

They must participate in countless wars, and only when they finally receive the King’s recognition can they earn that title.

He was a true veteran of veterans.

“Arrogant bastards.”

– Then I’m really going?

“You!”

Just as Alexion’s face was about to contort.

Slash!

With the sound of air splitting, something grazed past his abdomen.

Thunk.

He only realized it was the sword of that girl with the sword after it had already passed behind him.

‘What?’

He couldn’t even see it properly.

Incredible speed!

– Fighting with Ramba’s buffs is a bit unfair though.

Aso smiled slightly.

– But given the situation. I just greeted you to be fair. So you better get serious and fight with all you’ve got too. Don’t whine later that you were caught off guard.

Alexion couldn’t understand.

What was this?

How could a human produce such speed?

‘If this had been real combat… would I have died just like that?’

Alexion felt his blood run cold.

Only now did he remember.

The soldier had come and told him.

That the opponents were causing a commotion.

‘He didn’t say they killed soldiers or apprentices.’

Which meant?

They had all been subdued.

It was obvious they were here for some reason.

“…What is your purpose for being here.”

Alexion instinctively turned toward Baek Jin-woo.

Anyone could see he was the leader of this group.

He could also see a blonde woman, a white-haired old man with a staff, and a giant white tiger beside him… but they too were just watching the situation from behind Baek Jin-woo with his arms crossed.

“Just.”

Baek Jin-woo shrugged his shoulders.

“I keep saying it, but hasn’t the message gotten through yet?”

“…Message?”

“Bring them all. Whether it’s Paladins, Captains, Royal Guards, or Champions.”

“Such insolence!”

If you’re a Paladin, you can’t help it.

They revere Captains and Champions.

They despise and get angry at unrelated people who dare speak those titles.

Paladin Captain (S-rank).

And Champion (S-rank).

These two beings were currently treated as the only heroes who could stand against Asmodeus!

“I tried to proceed with dialogue, but it’s absolutely impossible!”

Thud!

The excited Alexion’s foot struck the ground.

‘I knew he’d do that.’

Baek Jin-woo nodded as if he had expected this.

No matter how he thought about it, these guys.

They weren’t holy knights.

They were just berserkers.

They would charge at you just for slightly insulting and provoking those they respected.

Well.

Originally, fanatics were the norm in medieval times.

Moreover, this world had the concept of visibly tangible divine power.

There were demons too.

– Where do you think you’re going to our Father!

Clang!

Alexion’s thrusting sword was blocked by Aso.

Clang clang clang clang!

Simultaneously, a series of strikes continued at tremendous speed.

“Gasp!”

Alexion inhaled sharply and widened his eyes.

At the same time, he instinctively brought forth his holy shield.

Paladin.

Holy Shield.

Holy Shield!

The blessing of light enveloped his body.

Flash!

The repulsive force was so strong that Aso’s sword, which had been striking continuously, was pushed back.

– Whoa!

This made the increased attack speed meaningless.

“Haaaaaah!”

Alexion raised his sword again and thrust it forward swiftly.

Paladin.

Judgment of Light.

Divine Judgment!

Holy light emanating from his sword shot toward Aso.

Tremendous divine power erupted through the sword.

‘Oh.’

Baek Jin-woo was impressed.

Do you remember that?

Kang Geon-ho’s summons, the Paladin (A-rank) and Dark Knight (A-rank).

That Paladin is exactly like these guys.

‘Of course, this Paladin here seems about 10 times stronger than Kang Geon-ho’s.’

Anyway.

That meant it was a familiar skill.

Kuagagagagaga!

The holy light was like sword energy.

It flowed like a rushing river, trying to sweep away Aso ferociously.

– Tch.

However.

With a slightly annoyed voice, a flash of light flickered.

At the same time, the Divine Judgment that had been surging forward bounced in all directions and was completely shattered.

“Kheuk!”

Feeling tremendous force through his wrist, Alexion instantly lost his balance and fell.

Thud.

Above him as he sat collapsed on the floor, the figure of a young girl came into view.

– Aw, that’s too simple.

Aso shook her head with a disappointed expression.

Being a genius, it must have seemed like a truly pathetic strike to her.

– No matter how strong you are, what’s the point. It’s just a thrust. If you thrust like that, you won’t be able to reach me even if you try a hundred times, right?

“Wh, what.”

– Anyway, right now you. You didn’t listen to Father and just charged in, didn’t you? How impudent!

Alexion couldn’t understand what the girl was saying.

‘What was that just now?’

She hadn’t used any particular technique.

Just a subtle force had deflected his thrust.

All the power contained in his sword had crumbled helplessly.

Just like himself lying collapsed on the floor.

His swordsmanship, which he had worked on with blood and sweat for over 20 years, had been blocked by a girl who didn’t even look 13 years old.

– Then let’s have a proper fight!

“…?”

– Hunkyo said so. People who don’t understand even when told are like beasts. And for beasts, beating is the medicine.

What does that?

Alexion’s eyes were filled with confusion.

Aso grinned and immediately rushed toward him.

Raising the flat of her blade instead of the edge.
