I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 169

Moscow Man

Inside the Holy Kingdom.

“Ah, ahahaha!”

King Archelion welcomed Baek Jin-woo with a bright smile.

“Come in! The hero of our kingdom has graced us with his presence!”

“…Suddenly?”

“Why are you being so distant! Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for you?”

The King’s attitude had changed overnight.

It couldn’t be helped.

When all his subordinates were grabbing his feet and telling him to go down to the Demon Realm, what choice did he have.

He had to find the strongest guy.

“Hahaha, you’ve been telling me to go down to the Demon Realm since before, haven’t you?”

“Did I?”

But Baek Jin-woo wasn’t going to be easy.

Where to?

Of course, it was true that he had caused this mess…

But thinking about how he’d been rejected every time he visited made his anger rise.

That guy deserves to suffer a bit!

“Huh? Didn’t you definitely say that! Even two days ago!”

“I don’t really remember. Ah, but I do remember this.”

Baek Jin-woo pressed two fingers to his forehead and said.

“Didn’t you say there was no divine oracle from God?”

“The, the oracle has come down!”

“Can you swear to God?”

“That, that’s…”

Tsk!

Where do you think you’re going with such an obvious lie.

“Your Majesty, I didn’t see you that way, but I’m disappointed. You did it before, and now again… How many times have you lied to me now.”

“…”

“Sigh, this won’t do.”

Baek Jin-woo shook his head and turned his back.

“I won’t bother participating in the war. I’ll leave the kingdom too. Come to think of it, the continent has already been purified, so there was no need to stay here anyway.”

“Wa, wait!”

The panicked King hurriedly grabbed Baek Jin-woo.

“What are we to do if you leave like this!”

Even if he was a fool, he could read the situation.

The terrible Demon King Asmodeus resides in the Demon Realm.

If they go down there by themselves?

The win rate is 0%.

There’s no way to win.

That’s why even when Baek Jin-woo said they should attack quickly, he had stalled as much as possible!

And now he’s just going to leave like this?

“Pl, please forgive me just once. My subordinates… even the Captain and Champion are saying we should attack… How can I possibly stop them.”

“What does that have to do with me?”

“Huh?”

“That’s Your Majesty’s situation, not mine, isn’t it.”

When he also signaled to Rachel, she turned her back as well.

“We’re just going to leave. Now we’ll stop fighting and live leisurely like before, hunting wild beasts. That’s the joy of life. Right?”

“Uh, yeah. That’s right.”

As Rachel nodded in agreement.

“I understand!”

Finally, the King threw up both hands and feet.

“I’ll give it.”

Swish!

Baek Jin-woo immediately turned back around.

“Give what?”

“The Apostle’s Stigmata! You’re asking for that right now, aren’t you! Did you think I wouldn’t know?!”

Oh.

Ohhh.

Your Majesty!

You weren’t stupid after all?

“How many?”

“…Two?”

“I’ll be going now.”

“I understand! I understand! The remaining four! I’ll give them all! I’ll give them all!”

Kyaaaah!

The King let out an invisible roar.

As expected.

That guy definitely isn’t human.

He’s a demon, a demon.

A demon-like bastard that would make even Asmodeus cry!

“Huhu.”

Baek Jin-woo smiled.

“In that case, the continent’s affairs aren’t just Your Majesty’s alone. It’s the land where we live and make our home. Of course we should help. Right?”

“…Yeah, right.”

Rachel’s eyes looking at Baek Jin-woo became strange.

This bastard.

His push-and-pull game is no joke?

The remaining four obtained that way!

The true Apostle’s Stigmata!

Rachel didn’t bother to take any.

She said she just needed to apply them to her S-rank summoned creatures – Golden Dragon, Baekho, and Great Wizard?

She seemed to think anything more would be wasteful.

‘Good.’

Baek Jin-woo also readily accepted that proposal.

Since he had already applied them to Hunkyo, Pokryong, and Aso.

He decided to apply them to Doldoli and Jakgeo, and keep the remaining two.

There was no need to apply them to Dampir or Ramba.

Since they had no combat abilities.

‘Those two.’

Mayeo, Destruction Dragon…

If he obtained them later… they would be applied to those two.

Then.

Since battle preparations seemed finished, should they start going up in earnest?

The journey to the 60th Floor wasn’t far off now.

– Buuuuuu!

The sound of war horns echoed across the kingdom’s land.

Another expedition had begun.

The troops were the same as when they had conquered the existing major cities, but.

That fighting spirit was on a completely different level from before.

“Uwaaaaaaaa!”

“Let’s kill them!”

“Let’s tear them apart! Those demon bastards! We’ll gouge out their eyes and rip out their guts!”

Whether these were words befitting the holy citizens of the Holy Kingdom… I wasn’t sure.

But anyway, it was good.

Their eyes were different, and the atmosphere was murderous too.

With this kind of momentum, the 59th floor great war would be worth attempting.

The ritual to open the Demon Realm was simple.

The giant chalices placed above the three conquered cities.

The moment demon blood was poured into them, holy magic would unfold.

– Gooooooo…!

Cracks appeared in the massive land at the center of the continent, and it split apart with a rumbling sound!

The gates of hell were opening!

This was the only passage leading to the Demon Realm.

“I will take the lead.”

The path down to the Demon Realm wasn’t easy.

You couldn’t just throw yourself down; there were various traps set… You had to find your way carefully.

If you took even a slightly wrong path, you’d be trapped forever or lose your life.

This was also why the ‘path’ itself was the 58th floor of the Tower of Trials.

Of course.

That path was precisely etched in Baek Jin-woo and Rachel’s minds.

“Eila.”

“Yes.”

The Champion now followed Baek Jin-woo respectfully as well.

Through three wars, she had come to understand his power well!

“Control them well. If you don’t want to lose precious troops.”

“…I understand.”

Indeed.

Would they be able to descend safely?

If nothing else.

It would probably take quite some time.

The path here was quite complicated.

While Baek Jin-woo and Rachel were steadily climbing the Tower of Trials, Earth was also undergoing considerable upheaval.

One day.

The Head of Player Association came directly to Yubaek City.

Click!

Getting out of a luxury limousine, he headed to the Yubaek Executive Office under escort from Player bodyguards.

“What brings you here?”

Yu Ji-a, who had been working in a neat suit, came out to greet him.

Swoosh.

The Head gave a signal to his escorts.

The bodyguards then stopped following and remained in position.

The Head went straight into the executive office.

“This place won’t be wiretapped or anything, will it?”

“…That’s true, but.”

Yu Ji-a frowned.

He hadn’t even given her a rough outline of the content, just notified her by phone that he was visiting, and now suddenly talking about wiretapping?

“Please understand. It’s quite a serious matter.”

“…?”

“It’s about Baek Jin-woo.”

“…!”

Yu Ji-a’s previously languid eyes sharpened with focus.

It had already been well over three months since he hadn’t returned.

Currently, there was talk within the organization as well.

Everyone was curious, and there were reactions that it would be better to reveal it now!

But the British side was refusing so adamantly that they couldn’t do this or that.

And.

Personally, Yu Ji-a also wanted it not to be revealed.

‘Jin-woo will definitely come back.’

It was just one-sided faith.

Even so, she was certain.

The one who was once called Jinugod…

The one who had solved up to the 100th floor!

It made no sense that he couldn’t return alive from just the 51st floor.

Could there be any news about him?

“Headquarters received contact. They want to hold a meeting between alliance representatives.”

“A meeting? Who’s hosting it?”

“Russia’s Beskof.”

“…”

“He officially invited Korea’s Baek Jin-woo. It’s causing quite an uproar. The British side also contacted us with a classified message, asking what we plan to do.”

“Can’t we just say we can’t go?”

“That’s what’s troublesome. Look at this official document.”

Swoosh.

The Head took out a printed paper from his jacket and handed it over.

To the Korean Player Headquarters,

The Russian Federal Government wishes to hold an alliance conference with representatives from the Player Headquarters of six nations, including the Five Emperors Under One Sky. This conference will be held at the Kremlin Palace, so please be sure to attend.

We will discuss the recent lack of regular communication, and we inform you that this is a critical matter that must be resolved. If your nation does not participate in the conference, we will have no choice but to publicly announce matters related to your nation’s Baek Jin-woo and Britain’s Rachel.

Russian Player Headquarters.

“Ha.”

Yu Ji-a let out a hollow laugh.

‘Look at these bastards?’

They could have sent this to Yubaek or SKY easily enough.

But they boldly sent it to the nation?

Moreover, they wrote it clearly in the official document.

The absence of communication from Baek Jin-woo and Rachel.

“So they know about this situation precisely.”

“It seems that way.”

There were only a few people in the nation who knew about Baek Jin-woo’s absence.

Yu Ji-a, SKY Guild members, the Head, a few council members, and some senior staff.

That was it.

If this fact became known?

Wouldn’t South Korea be turned upside down?

“What do you think we should do?”

“Hmm, if we don’t participate… They say they’ll officially announce it, but did you try contacting them?”

“The Russian side?”

“Yes.”

“I tried. When I said we might not be able to participate because we’re busy, they said to send a representative at least.”

“A representative?”

“They called for you and Hong Ari from the Korean side, and Olivia from the British side.”

“Huh, me?”

Why me all of a sudden?

Yu Ji-a tilted her head in confusion.

“The whole world already knows. That you’re the real owner of Yubaek and leading SKY.”

“….”

Yu Ji-a frowned.

This.

Something feels a bit unsettling?

“Absolutely not!”

Bang!

Hwang Ju-won slammed his fist on the table.

“Beskof, that bastard is really something! Is he trying to act like a king just because Rachel isn’t back? Who does he think he is ordering around?”

“…Exactly.”

Song Yeon-hee agreed.

“If we’re busy, we just don’t go. Why demand we send representatives too…. And two of them at that.”

“Should we all just go together?”

Gi Jae-hyeok stepped forward, but.

“That probably won’t work.”

Hong Ari shook her head.

“A reply came. They’ll only allow the representatives to enter the country. Just me and Jia Unni.”

“Wow, what the.”

“What exactly are they scheming?”

“That really gives off bad vibes?”

The guild members had made it to the finals in this World League.

They had met countless big-shot rankers, and among them, they rated Beskof’s impression the worst.

“Do you remember his face? Completely gloomy and….”

“His eyes were kind of creepy.”

“Can’t we just not go? Ari Unni is one thing, but President Yu Ji-a…. She’s not even a Player.”

The guild members tried to dissuade them, and Hong Ari also nodded with a serious expression.

“The President is troubled too.”

The original Yu Ji-a?

She definitely wouldn’t have gone.

She would have told them off, asking who they think they are to summon them.

But.

If that happened, they would mention Baek Jin-woo’s absence.

That was Yu Ji-a’s dilemma.

She secretly disliked what Director Baek A-jin and her parents were worried about.

‘Even so.’

No guild member would just send their president into a dangerous situation.

“It’s definitely a no if it’s a no.”

Hwang Ju-won stated clearly.

“Even if the guild master’s absence becomes known to the world, it’s the same. Alliance? What’s so important about that? If we didn’t have the guild master in the first place, there wouldn’t have been an alliance anyway, right?”

“That’s right!”

“Exactly!”

Everyone’s opinions aligned.

Don’t go.

Don’t send her.

“Hong Ari.”

“Yes, Uncle.”

“Go tell the President. Tell her absolutely not to go. To steel her heart from now on.”
