I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 162
54th Floor of the Tower of Trials (4)
Honestly, I did feel sorry.
How absurd must this be from their perspective.
Suddenly appearing and eating for free.
Then when they try to investigate, I beat up everyone who comes saying they want to see the King…
‘But I have no choice.’
Among all the routes I cleared in “Battle of Summoners,” this method is the fastest way to meet the King, and also the only way to gain recognition.
The King ultimately likes strong people.
I always feel this way.
Golden Dragon’s breath is no joke.
It’s overpowered to an almost excessive degree.
But it can be.
It has the harsh penalty of consuming all HP and MP, leaving only 1 point each.
Kwaaaaaaaaa!
With a roar that split the sky, golden radiance covered the city floor and devoured everything.
The ground of that vast plaza didn’t just flip over—it was annihilated.
Gooooooo…!
As a result, the foundation itself completely collapsed.
“Wh-what…!”
“Gasp!”
Even the watching spectators were shocked.
The power was completely different from before!
“…Does this mean he won’t hold back his strength anymore?”
“I’ve never seen such majesty before. What kind of creature is that?”
“It’s more terrifying than the demons I saw on the battlefield?”
“What about the Paladins?”
The spectators were worried about the Royal Guardians who had been swallowed by the golden breath.
However.
Above the deeply carved pit.
Thud!
A roughly charred hand appeared.
“Huff, huff.”
Having endured the destructive power of the breath, he gasped for air as he climbed back to the surface.
His eyes still held strong determination.
It wasn’t just the Captain.
Each of the Royal Guardians had no uninjured parts on their bodies, but they were at least alive.
Truly the epitome of tank dealers!
“Just…”
The Captain muttered.
“Did you think you could defeat us with an attack like this?”
Wow.
Baek Jin-woo nodded inwardly.
Right.
This is what real Paladins should be like!
Honestly, I would have been disappointed if they had fallen to the breath.
These are our hidden cards that will be important in the future war against Asmodeus, so it wouldn’t help if they were weak, right?
“Then shall we start fighting seriously now?”
And so the great battle began.
– Kyahahahahaha!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Ramba swinging her staff at light speed from behind without any combat ability!
Kwaaaaang!
Jakgeo jumping high and landing on the ground, shouting “Grwaaaaar!” while Dampir above him absorbs the Royal Guardians’ damage.
Then.
– Krrrk…
Swish swish swish swish swish!
Doldoli’s scythe was excellent.
The invisible Doldoli moved back and forth mysteriously.
Spinning the scythe like a top, the Paladins couldn’t help but panic.
“Argh!”
“Where on earth!”
“I can’t see it!”
It was already difficult to endure the continuous splash damage, but Aso and Hunkyo roamed around driving the enemies back.
Sometimes spinning multiple times in the air.
Or hitting the shields themselves dozens of times per second, breaking wrists.
– Krheeeeeeng!
Baekho also roared with bloodshot eyes in a frenzy.
It was truly chaos!
The Great Wizard didn’t stay idle either.
When Rachel gestured, he raised his staff high and quickly chanted a spell.
Great Wizard.
7 Circles.
Aether Chain.
Kwaddeuddeuk!
Several aether chains that erupted from the ground rushed to bind the Royal Guardians.
However.
Tiing!
The Captain easily swept away those chains.
“Damn it.”
Rachel gritted her teeth.
‘Of all things, complete magic immunity.’
That Paladin Captain is the perfect counter to the Great Wizard.
The battle went on for quite a while.
Other beings aside, the Captain was definitely a burden.
Even with Ramba’s stacks.
Even with the supremely enhanced runes.
In a space where the Tower of Trials is amplified 10 times, it seems unavoidable.
‘Well.’
That’s probably why they made it so multiple Players could enter.
To clear it as a raid.
– Master.
It was then that Hunkyo, who had been fighting, approached nearby.
“Hm?”
– Look over there.
When I looked where Hunkyo pointed, on top of that tall building.
A woman in pure white armor was holding a spear longer than herself.
‘Ah.’
Baek Jin-woo clenched his fist.
‘Champion!’
Have they finally all appeared?
100 Royal Guards, the Paladin Captain, and the Champion.
All the forces that could be called the entirety of the Holy Kingdom had been deployed.
And.
Swoosh.
A fat man slowly appearing from the distance.
“Huh?”
Baek Jin-woo was flustered.
And shock began to settle on the faces of the spectators who recognized him.
“Y-Your Majesty?”
“Gasp!”
“We humbly greet His Majesty the King!”
Someone knelt down and bowed their head.
Others clasped their hands together and took a praying posture.
The one called God’s representative, the King, Arkellion.
A being who could only receive infinite respect from the people of this place.
“Hmm?”
Rachel was similarly flustered.
What?
They hadn’t even properly fought those guys yet.
That coward Arkellion is coming out this quickly?
The fact that his face was visible meant the 54th Floor was over.
– Master… The stacks have been reset.
Hearing him say that, it became certain.
The speed of Hunkyo, Aso, and Doldoli had clearly slowed down.
‘This is ridiculous.’
The 54th Floor was definitely cleared, but there was no change.
They just took the stacks, and there was no clear message or reward.
But anyway.
Why did that coward suddenly come out so quickly?
The gazes of Baek Jin-woo and Rachel met, filled with questions.
Thinking about it now.
Both Baek Jin-woo and Rachel.
During the Battle of Summoners 54th Floor, they were strong but not at their complete prime.
In Baek Jin-woo’s case, it was about his 6th year?
So even if he caused chaos, he couldn’t fight at this level back then.
‘Now it’s just absurd though.’
Fighting alone against Paladins, Royal Guards, and the Captain?
It would have been absolutely impossible without the EX-grade guys.
‘That must be why.’
The King came out this quickly.
He must be feeling deep in his bones just how absurd we are right now.
“Everyone stop!”
As the King’s command fell, the Paladins all sheathed their swords in unison.
The Captain, Arno Villian, stepped back.
The Royal Guards also formed a formation centered around the King.
Their condition was pitiful.
Some couldn’t support their bodies and were limping, others had nosebleeds.
“…Sigh.”
The King let out a short sigh while looking at them.
Those who had ended up like this trying to protect him.
He had already received the reports.
“…You said you wanted to see me?”
The King stared at Baek Jin-woo.
With an expression as if suppressing his anger.
“That’s correct.”
The battle entered a brief lull, and Baek Jin-woo stepped forward.
From here on, this was a route he was experiencing for the first time too.
He had to create it through communication with the King.
Originally, the 55th, 56th, and 57th Floors were about recapturing occupied cities.
After killing the demons and monsters there, if the King purified them again with his power?
Straight to the 58th Floor.
The entrance to the Demon Realm would open.
Entering there and reaching the battlefield was the 58th Floor.
The great war was the 59th Floor.
The final bloody battle with Asmodeus was the 60th Floor.
“I understand that Your Majesty currently needs power. To recapture those three cities – Termora, Runestia, and Arseon.”
“…How do you know that!”
The King was shocked.
Last night.
How could that human know about the oracle given by God!
“I simply wanted to become that power. To do that? We had to show that we’re this strong. How about it? Against the Holy Kingdom, wouldn’t this level be quite helpful?”
“That insolent!”
As the Paladin Captain placed his hand on his sword hilt and stepped forward.
Swoosh.
The King raised his hand to stop his action.
“You’re right. It’s frustrating, but that person’s words are correct.”
He continued with a deep sigh.
“We’re not in a position to be picky right now. We can’t overcome this crisis with pride alone. If they have this level of power, there’s no reason to reject them.”
Arkellion looked at Baek Jin-woo again.
“Then will you help us recapture those three cities together?”
“Hmm.”
Baek Jin-woo grabbed his chin.
Of course, he should accept.
That way he could clear the tower and get an angle to return to Earth.
But.
‘This is unfair though?’
It was a bit annoying.
51st Floor, 52nd Floor, 53rd Floor, 54th Floor.
They had climbed a whole 4 floors but received no rewards!
He wondered if they’d throw him something really big later when he defeated Asmodeus.
‘But that’s not guaranteed!’
Baek Jin-woo was human too.
Survival was one thing, but he wanted to receive rewards.
Then a thought came to mind.
‘Before.’
When he solved the secret of the Holy Kingdom’s underground and gave all the soldiers a buff called ‘God’s Blessing’.
The moved King had said.
– I want to give you a gift, choose one of the two.
And then he had laid out a blue-colored ‘stone’ and a ‘scroll’.
Baek Jin-woo chose the stone.
It was called the Soul Guardian Stone.
[Soul Guardian Stone]
[Grade: S-rank]
[When consumed by a summon, permanently increases HP by 10,000.]
It was perfect for a tank.
He didn’t know what the other scrolls were.
And.
From the beginning, the King seemed to have a somewhat indecisive yet generous personality.
“Excuse me.”
Let’s give it a shot.
“I have a request.”
Baek Jin-woo said, removing his hand from his chin.
“What is it?”
The King asked.
“No matter how I think about it, helping without any compensation seems a bit wrong. Is there something I could receive?”
“Wh-what?”
The King was flustered.
In all his long years of life, this was the first time he’d heard such audacious words.
“You want compensation?”
“Yes, something like a Soul Guardian Stone would be nice.”
“S-Soul Guardian Stone!”
Gurgle.
Foam flowed from the King’s mouth.
That hyena-like bastard!
Does he even know what he’s asking for?
It’s a holy relic among holy relics, said to be touched by divine hands passed down from the first King.
There are only two in all of Lumentia…!
‘But.’
The situation is what it is.
The people before him have a record of overwhelming the Paladin Captain, who is the kingdom’s second strongest military force.
They would definitely be helpful, and they even know the contents of the oracle.
‘His Majesty also said so.’
That holy relics aren’t meant to be hoarded.
That the most important thing is the safety of the people.
“…Would one be enough?”
The slightly withered King muttered.
And Baek Jin-woo caught that too.
‘One?’
That means there are several more, doesn’t it?
“There are two people here, so one is a bit… Don’t you have one more? It would be great if you gave us more.”
“…!”
Th-th-this!
What a highway robber!
“You know that kid who attacked with golden light earlier? That’s mine. If you don’t give one, he’ll definitely be disappointed.”
“Two.”
“Pardon?”
“There are only two, you bastard!”
“Y-Your Majesty!”
The Paladin Captain who had stood up glanced at the King.
It’s enough to show your embarrassing side only inside the castle!
Only the Paladin Captain and Champion know the King’s true nature.
He’s cowardly, indecisive, and even fat because he doesn’t take care of himself!
“Let’s go inside for now! Your Majesty!”
The Captain spread his palm, pointing toward the castle.
“I don’t think we need to discuss the details here.”
Hmm.
The corner of Baek Jin-woo’s mouth slightly rose.
That guy, him.
He’s not much different from when I saw him in the game, is he?
A typical Typical Man type.
He looked perfect to exploit.
