I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 161
54th Floor of the Tower of Trials (3)
Thwack!
Aso’s sword hilt struck heavily into Alexion’s abdomen.
Though the Holy Shield’s protection was blocking it, Aso’s speed was fast enough that he could still feel the pain.
‘Ugh!’
The moment Alexion gasped inwardly and stepped back.
Crash!
With an explosive sound, the ground in front of him caved in deeply.
‘Tremendous power!’
What if there had been no Holy Shield?
No matter how heavily armored he was, wouldn’t it have hurt quite a bit?
– Oh, you’re pretty good at dodging?
Tap, tap!
Aso tapped her sword hilt with her palm, acting cocky.
An action that could only be made when there was an overwhelming difference in power!
‘She’s strong.’
The hair on his entire body stood on end and his spine tingled.
Kuwaaaaaa!
An aura that seemed like it could bring down even the sky burst forth from Aso’s body.
Pacheon Singong.
It was the martial art she had recently begun learning properly from Hunkyo.
True to its name.
Pacheon (Breaking Heaven)!
Thwack-thwack-thwack-thwack!
As Aso began moving in earnest, dozens of sword strikes started bursting forth simultaneously.
Each one carried power that couldn’t be ignored.
Fast.
Endlessly fast.
Since the speed was fast, it was natural that the already strong attacks gained even more power!
However.
“Haaaah!”
Alexion was also a Paladin.
And not just any Paladin, but a ‘real’ holy knight 10 times stronger than the existing middle floors of the Tower of Trials!
Paladin.
Guardian’s Prayer.
Guardian’s Prayer.
It was a buff skill that temporarily increased combat power with a devout heart offered to God.
Kuwaaaaaa!
He began deflecting Aso’s sword strikes one by one, though with difficulty.
‘Insane!’
‘Incredible!’
The eyes of the surrounding onlookers and soldiers widened.
The level was different.
The Paladin was as strong as they knew, and Aso’s martial prowess that was making that Paladin struggle was beyond what they could even imagine.
‘And that’s not even all of them fighting.’
‘Just one young girl…’
‘This is dangerous. We need to call other Paladins quickly. No, at this level we need the Paladin Captain…’
Several of the watching soldiers disappeared.
Confirming this was a serious matter.
It seemed they intended to report to their superiors.
In any case.
The fierce battle between Aso and Alexion continued.
Kwaaaaa!
Alexion proved his dignity as a Paladin through his powerful divine force, but Aso’s Pacheon Singong was overflowing with ease.
Slowly increasing its power, now the entire surrounding area began to be covered with her sword strikes.
Pacheon Singong (Heaven-Breaking Divine Art).
Bigi (Secret Technique).
Thousand Sword Wild Dance.
– Ooh.
Hunkyo let out a short exclamation of admiration.
Though not perfect yet, was she already at the level of using secret techniques?
Kuwaaaaaa!
Literally the number thousand.
Tremendous consecutive strikes fell toward Alexion.
Each one was a blow that seemed like it would tear flesh and break bones with just a graze.
Just looking from afar, anyone could see Aso had the upper hand.
“Grgh!”
Alexion remained in place, enduring each strike with his body.
Tap.
Aso’s steps were light.
Moving here and there in all directions, she thrust sword strikes into the Paladin’s openings.
Her movements were flawless and also nimble.
Even more?
As if showing the gap in their levels, she even wore a faint smile.
– Hehe, this is fun.
Aso laughed.
He was definitely a higher-level opponent than the monsters she’d faced in the Tower of Trials so far, and the occasional demons she’d encountered.
But something of this level couldn’t threaten her.
At that moment.
“Don’t mock me!”
Shiiiiing!
From the Paladin’s sword, an incomparably more powerful aura than before began bursting forth.
Paladin.
Divine Blade.
Divine Blade.
A technique that drew out momentary explosive power by sacrificing part of the divine force he had built up!
But Aso wasn’t flustered at all.
Her smile grew even deeper.
Swoosh.
She lightly lowered her head and dodged the blade.
Thwack-thwack-thwack!
Just like how even the hardest stone erodes if you keep hitting it…
Aso’s sword hilt began penetrating deeper and deeper.
Crash!
Soon a tremendous explosive sound burst from Alexion’s abdomen.
His body was sent flying backward from the tremendous force.
Whoosh!
Aso rushed in at an even faster speed and began a relentless beating.
Thwack-thwack-thwack-thwack-thwack!
– Indeed.
Hunkyo nodded his head.
Paladins were typical damage dealers and tanks, so it might still be difficult for Aso.
– He’s winning easily. We can advance further.
Without a doubt, he had gained complete superiority.
The Holy Shield was completely stripped away.
Aso’s striking sword blade now penetrated cleanly into various parts of his body.
“Kuheoeoeoek!”
Blood spurted from Alexion’s mouth.
How many dozens more times did he strike like that?
– Whew.
Thud.
Aso landed behind him with light footsteps.
Alexion, who had been beaten senseless, just lost his soul.
He staggered with his mouth open in disbelief.
Thump.
Soon he collapsed backward.
‘How…’
How could he be this strong?
I thought the swordsmanship of the Holy Kingdom was the strongest on the continent!
– Tsk tsk.
Aso clicked his tongue.
– See? I told you one paladin wouldn’t work. Listen to Father! Bring more!
Right.
He wanted to bring more.
But he didn’t have the strength left to do so.
Alexion, who no longer had the capacity to maintain consciousness, closed his eyes.
Fainted.
It was the moment the paladin was finished.
That King, this bastard.
What a coward.
Honestly, at this point, shouldn’t he come out directly?
But he keeps sending them one by one.
Well, what can you do?
We have no choice but to keep causing chaos.
Thwack, thwaaack!
Baek Jin-woo and Rachel alternately sent out their summoned creatures.
Hunkyo, Aso, Doldoli, Baekho, Golden Dragon, Great Wizard.
Later when ten, twenty came rushing in groups?
They just moved together and smashed them.
As this continued.
“…”
“…”
Before they knew it, hundreds more spectators had gathered.
They formed a long circle, and there were also those watching from buildings or watchtowers.
And.
“Kuaaak.”
“Uuuuu…”
“Your, Your Majesty.”
Countless paladins were sprawled on the ground.
Some were groaning, while others were screaming as if they had fractures.
The spectators were shocked.
‘This is impossible. So many paladins are down like that?’
‘Are those really… the same kind of beings as us?’
‘How did such existences suddenly appear?’
The spectators were stirring, but none were afraid.
They had eyes too, so they could see.
They don’t kill allies.
They just demonstrate their skills and subdue.
Also, since the process was so refreshing and entertaining to watch, there were even people unconsciously cheering.
‘If those beings fought for us…’
‘Couldn’t we also defeat the demons and monsters outside?’
It wasn’t what Baek Jin-woo intended.
But before they knew it, they were entering one corner of The Public’s hearts.
And not long after.
“What is this behavior!”
Along with a resonant shout heard from far away.
Thud thud thud thud!
An overwhelming presence began rushing toward them.
“Huh?”
“Look over there!”
When the spectators turned their gaze in surprise.
A group of Royal Guards in shining armor was running toward them.
“Th, that’s…!”
“The Royal Guards!”
The 100 guardian knights who protect the King.
Only those with the highest skills among paladins could become Royal Guards.
And.
“L, look, the Paladin Captain is there too!”
“Ah, to be able to behold the Captain’s presence!”
The Paladin Captain.
Arno Villian (S-rank).
The second most powerful being in the Holy Kingdom after the Champion, he was one who could be called a true paladin.
A monster among monsters with complete magic immunity and dealing 500% additional damage to dark attribute summoned creatures!
‘Oh.’
Baek Jin-woo’s eyes widened too.
Rachel also showed a slightly wary expression.
Clank, clank!
The Royal Guards formed ranks while holding golden shields and swords that could be called their trademark.
The crowd naturally bowed their heads to the elite forces that could be called the kingdom’s pride.
‘It suddenly got intense.’
It’s fine.
I knew this would happen, so I kept stacking Ramba stacks.
Click!
Baek Jin-woo turned on the recording equipment he had turned off.
He had a feeling.
Somehow this battle felt like it would produce quite a famous scene!
Documentaries are popular, so I’ll use it later.
“Rachel.”
“Yeah.”
“Get ready. This will probably be the toughest of all the floors we’ve been on.”
If you go the rampage route, the 54th Floor is actually harder than the 55th, 56th, and 57th floors.
Because you have to face them.
But?
– Krwalarararararara!
Rachel’s Golden Dragon began to writhe its body in earnest.
– Krheoong!
Baekho howled.
Swooooosh…!
Wind began to swirl around the Great Wizard.
‘I’m not alone now.’
I’m with Rachel, who was Earth’s strongest being for the past three years.
“What is causing all this commotion!”
The Captain’s booming voice echoed through the space.
Indeed.
Cold eyes and S-rank authority radiated from his entire body.
Step.
Baek Jin-woo stepped forward.
Then he opened his mouth.
“Let me meet the King. Then I’ll withdraw.”
Naturally, this was a proposal that would be sensitive to the Paladins.
“How dare you!”
As expected.
He lashed out in fury.
“Do you think you’re qualified to see His Majesty after causing such chaos in the kingdom?”
“If you can’t show me, then there’s no choice. I’ll just have to beat you all up too.”
“…What?”
The Captain’s brow furrowed.
Baek Jin-woo didn’t want to talk any further.
No matter what he said, they were destined to fight anyway.
Did the Captain read that atmosphere too?
He said no more.
“Royal Guards!”
He simply commanded.
“Draw your sacred swords! And execute those vile ones who insult His Majesty!”
“”Yes!””
Shing!
Shiiing!
The sight of the Royal Guards drawing their swords in unison was truly spectacular.
But?
We can’t lose either.
“Rachel.”
“Yeah?”
“Those guys have pretty solid tanking, you know?”
Paladins (A-rank) are called the people’s deal-tank for a reason, right?
And these guys are Royal Guards, called the ultimate among them.
“Let’s just hit them with a breath attack as our opening move.”
“Really? What if they all die?”
“Don’t worry. A mere breath attack won’t kill them.”
The Royal Guards are precious troops that must be used later when fighting demons.
Even if we subdue them, we absolutely must not kill them.
“Okay, then I’ll trust you and go for it?”
Rummmble…!
The golden dragon surrounding Rachel’s body began to grow larger.
“What, what is that!”
“I don’t know what it is, but it looks incredible…?”
The spectators murmured and stepped back, while Rachel paid no attention and continued enlarging the dragon’s body.
“Hmm…?”
Puzzlement filled the Paladin Captain’s eyes too.
Clench!
When Rachel clenched her fist.
– Kiiiiaaaaaah!
The Golden Dragon roared and began ascending to the sky in earnest.
Accordingly, Rachel’s body also floated up into the air.
To those who had just drawn their swords.
To those who kept their shields as decoration.
Show them.
Golden Dragon.
Golden Dragon!
Ascending Breath!
Simultaneously.
Craaaaaack!
The massive Golden Dragon’s mouth opened wide, and golden light shot down from it.
Whoooooooosh!
A breath attack with the momentum to delete everything struck the Royal Guards.
