I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 171

Tower of Trials 60th Floor (1)

Tower 58th Floor.

We found the path leading down to the Demon Realm quite smoothly.

Did it take about 3 days?

Before we knew it, we were standing in front of the door.

The real door leading to the Demon Realm.

“You’re truly amazing.”

Champion Eila had now completely given up any resistance.

Strong in combat, filling in what’s lacking, and leading us so perfectly to the path to the Demon Realm.

Was there any need to be more cautious?

Honestly, I learned a lot.

Since there were no demons or devils on the way, and it was covered with all sorts of traps and devices, there was plenty of training time.

‘Hunkyo, was it?’

Every word he threw out felt like years of pent-up frustration was being cleared away.

Teaching that felt like he had gone into my head and come out, knowing exactly what worries I had and what was frustrating me!

Not just her, but the Paladin Captain also seemed highly satisfied.

“Now, we’re almost there. Get ready.”

Baek Jin-woo walked forward with a grin.

The Bloody Path.

Baek Jin-woo and Rachel, positioned at the very front, made eye contact with each other.

As if they had coordinated beforehand, they each stopped in front of their designated levers.

3, 2, 1.

“Let’s go.”

Creak!

As they pulled both levers simultaneously.

Rumble rumble rumble…!

The ground shook and heavy metallic sounds echoed throughout.

As the levers engaged, the massive door began to slowly open.

“Oh.”

“Ooooh.”

The Paladins who saw this began to get excited.

Flash!

Breathtaking red light leaked through the gap.

Whoosh!

Cold wind brushed past the group, letting them know what the scent of the Demon Realm was like.

“…That place is.”

Eila gulped.

“The Demon Realm…”

It was completely different from any sky they had seen before.

Entirely stained blood-red, writhing like a living creature.

– Kiiiiaaaaaak!

– Quieeeeee!

Horrible screams echoing from beneath the sky.

Terrible screams spewed by countless demons reverberated and struck their ears.

Beast-like.

Grotesque howling sounds.

“You’ve all been patient for a long time, right? Now the real beginning starts.”

Baek Jin-woo released his hand from the lever.

Tower 59th Floor.

The great war against demons.

They had to engage in a battle of numbers against all those countless monsters.

“Everyone.”

Swish.

As the Champion raised her pure white spear, sacred light began spreading in all directions.

– Kieeeeeeek!

The screams of demons exposed to divine power grew even more intense.

“Engrave into those terrible demons who we are! Charge!

“Waaaaaaah!”

“Uwaaaaaaah!”

Thousands of Paladins and tens of thousands of troops began rushing through the gates of the Demon Realm without hesitation.

Countless monsters came rushing at them.

With the gates of the Demon Realm at the center, if you zoomed out, it felt like hundreds of millions of ants rushing toward giant prey.

Click!

Baek Jin-woo pressed the video recording button again.

Who knows when he’d leave.

But scenes like this are worth recording, right?

– Let’s go!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

As soon as the gates of the Demon Realm opened, Ramba’s stack was reset.

To build it up again, she’d have to swing her staff like crazy once more.

Slash.

Hunkyo’s sword pierced through a demon’s neck.

Splash!

Black blood spurted up.

But through that gap, a giant monster rushed forward with its mouth wide open.

“Be careful!”

Flash!

Eila’s spear punched a huge hole through the giant monster’s body.

As expected.

The two worked together perfectly.

‘Right.’

Baek Jin-woo smiled.

‘You need to grow well so you can later stab Asmodeus’s heart with that spear.’

Aso, Doldoli, Hunkyo.

All of them one monster per strike!

They fought diligently, piercing through chests or heads.

Whoooosh!

Pokryong swung her dragon-head staff, putting on a fireworks show in all directions.

The more demons and monsters there were, the better it was for her.

Each and every one would become stacks for the Pokryong Faction!

“Phew.”

“There really are a lot of them.”

Baek Jin-woo and Rachel watched the battle from the center.

Just because they were Players didn’t mean they could just stand by and watch.

Most were weak monsters or low-grade demons, but occasionally some tough ones were mixed in.

Demons that were direct subordinates of Asmodeus.

They had to keep an eye out for their appearance.

That was the key to this 59th Floor!

Let’s go.

“Hoo-ah, hoo!”

Eila Lunares exhaled as she swung her spear.

Thunk, thunk!

With each swing of her spear, demons were skewered like kebabs.

“Haaaah!”

And then.

Her main technique unfolded.

Swooooosh!

Sacred light began gathering at the tip of her spear.

Thunk!

The moment it touched the demon’s body.

Kwagagagagagaga!

With a powerful sacred explosion, even the surrounding enemies were subdued together.

The name of the technique was Sky-Light Spear Strike!

It meant the heavens where God resides.

Indeed, was this the power of a Champion?

Against demons, her power was even greater than Hunkyo, Aso, Doldoli, or Pokryong.

With endlessly pouring light, she didn’t just burn the swarming demons but melted them completely.

At that moment.

Crack!

‘Huh?’

A sudden headache struck.

As if struck by lightning, her vision shook.

‘What is this?’

Like lightning piercing her mind, some scene suddenly came to mind.

Memories vividly recreated in her head.

‘…What is this.’

She could hear the screams of wailing citizens.

The Holy Kingdom was collapsing.

Between the buildings, endless cries were flowing out.

– Stop them! In the name of the sacred, stop Asmodeus!

The Plump King was trembling and shouting.

With a desperate voice that seemed ready to collapse at any moment.

‘Asmodeus?’

Why is that Demon King in the Holy Kingdom…

Just as the confusion was intensifying.

“Get it together!”

Hunkyo’s voice came from beside her.

Snap!

Her mind cleared, and beside her she could see a demon baring its teeth at her.

Thunk!

Hunkyo stabbed his sword into the creature’s forehead.

Swoosh!

Then pulled it out.

“Why are you spacing out?”

“…I’m sorry.”

She was sorry, but.

Eila shook her head.

‘What was that scene just now?’

Eila’s inexplicable visions continued as time passed.

The scenes became even more specific, and now she could even feel the emotions.

Swoosh!

She shed tears while cutting down demons.

The emotions of the current battlefield faded, and the emotions of herself crying and wailing under the collapsing kingdom became stronger.

What was it.

What on earth was it.

Her fingertips trembled.

The visions became as clear as reality, invading her mind.

Eventually.

She had no choice but to stop fighting.

“What’s wrong!”

The Paladin Captain approached, sensing something was seriously wrong.

“…I need to rest for a moment.”

After lowering her spear.

She moved to the central area.

To where Baek Jin-woo was.

What’s this?

Why is she acting like this?

It wasn’t just Eila who had question marks floating above her head.

Baek Jin-woo couldn’t understand either.

“You look really unwell?”

“Did you catch a cold?”

When Rachel tilted her head.

“As if she’d catch a cold.”

Baek Jin-woo scolded her.

Something was definitely going on.

Seeing her crying profusely, she seemed emotionally distressed.

‘For now.’

It didn’t matter at the moment.

The battle was quite winnable.

Whoooosh!

Because Pokryong’s momentum was incredibly tremendous beyond imagination.

“Wow, how refreshing?”

– Thank you.

Pokryong’s flames danced.

The giant fire dragon’s momentum circling around gradually expanded its range.

Thanks to that, the Paladins’ battle became increasingly easier.

Swish, swish.

He stroked Pokryong’s hair.

“Hey, are you okay?”

He approached Eila, but she was still holding her head in agony.

‘Sigh.’

She can’t be doing this here.

Hurry up and awaken, pick up your spear!

Asmodeus is coming out soon!

Eila saw numerous scenes.

And she felt it.

‘I am…’

No.

‘We are…’

It had already been destroyed.

By Asmodeus.

According to her memories, that was definitely what happened.

Far from recapturing the three cities, they had self-destructed while isolated within the kingdom.

‘That bastard.’

Asmodeus had enjoyed watching that sight thoroughly before appearing belatedly.

Ah.

His touch was like darkness itself.

Like a massive shadow covering the entire kingdom, it devoured everything.

That pitiful divine power?

It was extinguished like a candle in one breath from the fully manifested Asmodeus.

– God… has abandoned us.

Crack!

The King’s head shattered, and his heavy body fell helplessly.

Eila watched all of it with despairing eyes…

Swish.

She raised her spear to deliver a final blow to Asmodeus… no, tried to deliver one.

But.

There was no way her spear tip could reach.

Right.

‘I definitely died then.’

My heart was pierced by his claws, and I had to lose consciousness while watching the blood flow down.

Then what is this scene?

There is something different.

‘Baek Jin-woo, and the one called Rachel.’

Those people appeared.

People who weren’t in her memories at all.

That means…

‘An opportunity.’

An opportunity to change fate has come.

She doesn’t know the reason.

Perhaps it’s an opportunity given by God.

As her thoughts organized, her turbulent heart also calmed down.

The headache began to fade as well.

Eila opened her eyes and stood up from her position.

Then she saw a man looking at her with very worried eyes.

“Baek Jin-woo.”

“Yes?”

“…You’ve been saying since before. That I need to drive my spear into Asmodeus’s heart.”

“That’s right.”

Baek Jin-woo nodded.

Then.

“Please teach me.”

Firmly.

The awakened Eila’s aura began to change.

If before it was just a feeling of destroying demons, now it contained desperation.

Her will to save someone had grown stronger.

‘The past must never repeat itself.’

If she could just prevent that…

She was prepared to do anything.

Even if she had to sell her soul to someone?

She was ready to do that too.

In response.

Whoooosh!

Her divine power also began to rampage even more.

“How do I kill that demon?”

– I don’t know why, but it seems she has awakened, Master.

“Awakened?”

Baek Jin-woo’s eyes widened.

What’s that?

– This is the first time I’ve seen this phenomenon. If I recite the information being organized in my head… S-rank and above summons can undergo something called ‘awakening’ when they reach certain conditions.

“…Really?”

This is the first time hearing about this despite 10 years of Battle of Summoners.

‘Well, I only had one S-rank, the Destruction Dragon, right?’

“Rachel.”

“Hm?”

“Do you happen to know about awakening?”

“…I don’t know?”

“Okay.”

Rachel doesn’t know either.

What does that mean?

It’s a phenomenon humanity is encountering for the first time.

‘But.’

Was Eila a summon?

She might be.

Just like the Paladins here can be summoned by someone, Eila might also be a summon.

The probability was high.

Though being S-rank, she’d never come out even if you died trying.

– When awakened, the stats themselves seem to change. Even at the same rank, the level difference based on whether they’re awakened or not is dramatic…

“Hmm. Worse than rune differences?”

– It could very well be that severe.

“Huh.”

Then I’m curious again.

S-rank summons can awaken.

Then what about EX-rank?

‘I’ll have to find out gradually.’

Anyway.

Eila is staring blankly and continuously.

Uncomfortably.

“She’s asking me to teach her properly?”

– Understood.

Shing.

Hunkyo sheathed his sword.

Since the war was being led and guided by Pokryong anyway.

– Since Asmodeus doesn’t have much time left, I’ll give a brief lesson.

Hunkyo’s eyes sparkled.
