I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 172
Tower of Trials 60th Floor (2)
About another day had passed.
Finally, the majority of the monsters had been dealt with.
Crackle, crackle.
The battlefield that had been soaked in blood was already engulfed in flames, leaving nothing but ashes.
Pokryong was truly the incarnation of fire itself.
Now, demons would melt away just by being grazed by the flames from that fire.
It was truly overwhelming firepower, overwhelming damage.
– Jin-woo.
When she, who must have been terror incarnate to the demons, approached Baek Jin-woo again, she transformed to be as gentle as could be.
– I’ve cleaned everything up.
“Yes, well done.”
59th floor cleared.
He could tell because of Hunkyo and Aso.
– Ramba.
– Ha, hahaha. Ugh.
– The stack has been reset.
– Damn it all…
Ramba groaned.
Sorry.
I guess you’re destined to just wave a staff for life.
Instead.
If we ever get out, I’ll hire you a professional cream bread chef.
If I offer a salary of about 500 million, there’d be a line of applicants, right?
“Are you ready now?”
Step.
Eila approached with a determined expression.
She had received special training from Hunkyo for a day.
Nothing else was needed.
She had focused intensively on training spear techniques to drive into Asmodeus.
And.
– Don’t forget.
For some reason.
Hunkyo kept emphasizing emotions to Eila.
– Don’t turn away from your heart. Your emotions are your strength and sacred will.
“…”
– Put your will into your sacred power. That’s never blasphemy. If it’s truly a god who cares for you, they would value your happiness more than their own glory.
Eila was shocked.
It was a way of thinking she had never approached before.
She had never communicated with a god.
Communication between paladins and gods is only through sacred power.
The more one believes in god and cultivates accordingly, the stronger that sacred power becomes.
But?
To value my emotions over god?
That’s what god actually wants?
She couldn’t understand it.
“Alright, everyone get ready.”
Swoosh.
Baek Jin-woo stepped forward.
The atmosphere of the battlefield was already changing.
“It’s coming out soon.”
Rumble rumble rumble…
The surrounding air suddenly became heavy.
The ground vibrated slightly, and at the moment even the battlefield’s wind stopped.
From the distance, an ominous aura mixed with the smell of blood came rushing in.
“Wow, that’s…”
Rachel also swallowed nervously.
She had seen it countless times in the game, but this was the first time in reality.
– …Who dares disturb the Demon Realm.
60th floor boss.
Asmodeus (S-rank).
The darkness began to thicken, and black smoke started rising from the ground.
From within that smoke.
A form that seemed to have jumped out of a nightmare slowly revealed itself.
A being whose entire body was covered in bizarre black armor.
In one hand, it held an axe of tremendous size.
“That’s the archdemon…”
“Asmodeus…?”
“…Hieek!”
The paladins and soldiers were terrified.
An overwhelming being that made even the blessing of light seem meaningless!
“Huk.”
Eila was equally breathless.
Old memories came flooding back.
The moment of despair.
That terrifying moment.
“…”
That despair and fear that had destroyed everything she had.
Herself, unable to do anything in the darkness that crushed her body.
But.
“Let’s begin.”
Baek Jin-woo was different.
He showed no signs of tension whatsoever.
He had faced Asmodeus quite a few times in the past.
He had tried attacking this way and that way, and the patterns were already ingrained in his body.
‘I did manage to defeat it with Aso back then.’
Then and now were different.
It was a much more leveled-up world now.
To defeat that thing?
Eila needed to pull herself together.
Only by driving a sacred spear into its heart would the demon’s protective barrier be completely released.
Thud, thud!
Unlike the soldiers trembling in fear, watching the heroes courageously charge forward.
“Focus.”
Smack.
Eila slapped her own cheek.
A sharp pain washed over her.
“Pull yourself together…!”
She had made a promise.
Whether it’s an illusion or a mirage.
If she could just defeat that Asmodeus, she’d be willing to sell her soul.
‘Put emotion into my spear?’
If so.
That emotion is anger.
Anger for all the things she’s lost.
And desperation.
The desperation that she must overcome this.
And….
Another emotion rising from deeper within.
‘I too…. want to be happy.’
Her gaze turned toward Aso.
The eyes of the girl charging forward with her sword showed not a trace of fear.
It also turned toward Pokryong.
Whoosh!
Her appearance as she slowly built up Pokryong Faction stacks was both restrained and strong.
Pokryong was the same.
She had no fear.
Even looking at that terrible demon.
‘It must be because of trust.’
The man named Baek Jin-woo.
They had faith that he would never lead them to their deaths.
Eila wanted to understand the trust they felt, the strength they possessed.
She too wanted to feel happiness.
‘To do that.’
She must follow for now.
As he said, she must charge forward and plunge her spear into that damn demon’s heart.
Did someone who couldn’t even save the Holy Kingdom have the right to be happy?
Thwack!
She gripped her spear and moved forward.
Emotion blazed up throughout her entire body.
Swoooosh…!
Accordingly, tremendous divine power unlike usual burst forth from her spear.
‘Oh.’
Baek Jin-woo was surprised.
‘Is that the power of awakened Eila?’
This was his first time seeing it.
It was completely different from when they trained for a day!
– Hmm?
Asmodeus’s confused voice was also a first.
This.
This might be easier than expected?
– Eila!
When Hunkyo gestured and shouted, Eila moved to his side.
– Where do you think you’re going!
Asmodeus’s full-scale attack began.
Originally, summons move autonomously.
But this time.
Everyone followed Baek Jin-woo’s control.
Because he knew all the patterns.
“Rachel.”
Baek Jin-woo muttered with concentration.
“Yeah?”
“You said you definitely know all 10 patterns, right?”
“Probably. Though I might make mistakes sometimes….”
“Stay focused. You can’t make mistakes.”
Sorry, but.
This isn’t Battle of Summoners.
This is reality.
One mistake could end everyone’s lives.
And at that moment.
Flash!
Asmodeus’s eyes blazed with red light.
– Everyone get down!
Hunkyo shouted.
Swoooosh!
The laser fired from Asmodeus’s shoulder swept once over the heads of those nearby.
Fortunately, no one was hit.
It was like this.
When using instant-kill attacks, there was always a route to somehow avoid them.
– Run again!
The pattern continued.
Downward strike!
Crash crash crash crash crash!
When the axe struck down in the center, they had to dodge left and right.
Whirrrr! Crash crash crash crash crash!
When the axe twisted to overturn the ground, they had to leap into the sky.
– You bastards!
The enraged Asmodeus unleashed various attacks, but they dodged them nimbly like fish.
‘Really.’
Eila’s eyes shone as she ran.
‘It’s really happening just like they said.’
All day long.
She had received training while having Asmodeus’s patterns drilled into her.
– Come forth! My true legion!
Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble!
Hundreds of gates in the sky opened like punctured holes.
New demons began appearing again.
“Now it’s our turn!”
Paladin Captain Arno Villian raised his sword high.
“For the heroes fighting Asmodeus directly before our eyes, let us help too!”
“Uwaaaaa!”
“Hyaaaaa!”
“In the name of God!”
“In the name of God!”
The Paladins began advancing with swords and shields.
The start of full-scale battle!
Eila continued charging forward.
Asmodeus was surrounded by a massive dark barrier.
It was an overpowered skill that reduced all damage by 90%, and without breaking it, things would become quite difficult.
In this world.
The only being who could break it was Eila Lunares.
– Kraaaaaaah!
Roar of darkness!
When Asmodeus tore at both arms and let out a scream, she was told to close her eyes.
“…!”
Eila memorized the surrounding terrain as much as possible, then squeezed her eyes shut.
Running with eyes closed.
That was truly terrifying.
However.
If you keep your eyes open when that roar sounds, your vision becomes limited for 1 minute.
A moment later.
When the screaming ended.
Her vision was normal.
– Dodging around like a little rat!
Kwaaaaaaah!
Asmodeus brought his massive axe down on the ground again, causing an earthquake.
The earth split apart, and thousands of rocks shot up into the sky.
Naturally, below was the abyss.
The moment you fall, instant death.
‘Now’s the time.’
Eila recalled Baek Jin-woo’s advice.
When almost in close range, she had to use that demon’s axe.
‘Can I do it?’
There was no time to think.
She absolutely had to succeed.
Thwack!
Eila shot up into the sky.
Tap, tap-tap! Tap!
Stepping on the flying rocks one by one, she climbed up into the sky.
Soon she barely managed to land on the axe.
Rummmmmble…!
The axe was lifted up into the sky again.
Soon it rose instantly above Asmodeus’s head.
And then.
‘Now!’
Whoosh!
Eila spun her body backward once and fell from the axe like diving.
‘Focus.’
Then she pulled back her spear-holding arm with all her might and aimed at her target.
‘Asmodeus’s heart.’
That place writhing with darkness!
At that moment, time began to flow slowly.
The noisy surroundings became quiet, and only the demon’s heart was reflected in her eyes.
A state of deep immersion!
‘I am a Champion.’
A being who serves God and protects the safety of the Holy Kingdom’s citizens.
But now she knows.
The current Holy Kingdom is fake, a manufactured world.
The past has already progressed, and it cannot be reversed.
‘However.’
Someone had given her a chance.
God.
No, perhaps a being who might be at an even higher level than God.
That being had sent Baek Jin-woo and Rachel.
To set the past right.
Fear?
Terror?
Such things no longer existed within her.
A life that had already died once – what would be different about dying again?
She was simply excited.
Happy that she could strike with her own hands the being that had been so terrible and terrifying in the past.
Eila opened her mouth.
Then she shouted.
“Asmodeuuuuuus!”
Veins bulged in her neck, and her eyes became bloodshot.
“Hyaaaaaaah!”
The moment Eila pulled back her spear forcefully, tremendous divine power wrapped around the spear.
‘Ah.’
Eila felt a thrill overflowing through her entire body.
And then.
Without a moment’s hesitation.
Swooooooosh!
She hurled the spear.
The spear flying through the air!
And then.
– Huh?
Kwaaaaaang!
The spear struck Asmodeus’s heart hard.
– Krhaaaak?!
Crack!
The dark armor tore apart, and black blood erupted like an explosion.
– Kraaaaaaaaaah!
The great demon let out a roar filled with pain!
As much as his massive body trembled, the world began to shake as well.
– Good!
From below, Hunkyo gave a thumbs up.
– Kiruurururururu!
The Sky Wyvern caught the falling Eila.
And then.
“Now, Pokryong.”
Finally that damn armor was broken.
Now 100% of all damage would go through completely!
– Yes, Jin-woo.
Pokryong grinned and swung the dragon-head staff.
Whoosh.
Flames began to blaze.
Soon a red dragon began to form.
Explosive Dragon Technique.
Secret technique.
Annihilation .
The ultimate breath that the Ancient Pokryong used when destroying the Continent!
That ultimate technique fell toward Asmodeus like a death sentence.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
It was incomparable to anything before.
It was an absolutely insane extreme damage attack.
