I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 174
Return (1)
Swoosh.
Jeong Si-woo adjusted his glasses and stared intently into the sky.
“They’re deploying summoned creatures too!”
“Who is it?”
There were three beings sitting on the wyvern.
They were also deploying several summoned creatures, and one of them caught his eye.
“…Guardian.”
A-grade Guardian.
Among rankers, only Takahashi Shusuke uses this summoned creature.
“That’s…!”
Isn’t that a Guardian?
“If it’s a Guardian, then it’s Shusuke, but why is Shusuke here?!”
Shriiiiiiek!
From far away, a human character holding a dagger in reverse grip charged through the air.
“That’s Korak!”
Jeong Si-woo shouted.
A typical death-type summoned creature, Korak.
“And the summoned creatures supporting Korak are Death Walker and Shadow Rex! Statistically, among rankers, the one who uses this combination the most is…”
Gulp.
After swallowing once, he shouted.
“Russia’s Dmitry Tarasov!”
A powerhouse ranked 25th in the world!
“Now it’s certain.”
Hong Ari muttered while setting up a defensive formation around Yu Ji-a.
“Those Russian bastards. They’re serious about this. Japan joined them too.”
“Damn bastards!”
“Are they trying to start a war?”
The SKY Guild members erupted in anger.
Not only did they illegally enter the country without any notice, but they flew directly to Yubaek City?
What that meant was only one thing.
War.
“Shusuke and Tarasov.”
Both are high-ranking players.
But?
We are players with solid fundamentals learned from Baek Jin-woo and Hunkyo.
Hmph.
Hong Ari snorted.
“As long as we’re prepared, there’s no need to be scared! Everyone attack. The enemy is…”
Then her eyes flashed.
“It’s fine to just kill them.”
Their hearts weren’t weak enough to show mercy to those trying to take their lives.
Kwaaaaaaaaa!
The full-scale clash began.
There were no greetings between them.
They started attacking right away, so was there any reason to exchange words?
‘Whatever you’re trying to do.’
Whoooosh!
Hong Ari’s Phoenix shot out hundreds of flames.
‘It won’t go as you want.’
“Damn it.”
Shusuke was flustered.
Their response was fiercer than expected.
Moreover.
‘They’ve grown even more than last time?’
Their movements had changed significantly.
They were clearly the same A-grade summoned creatures with similar runes, but when they controlled them, it was hard to block.
Grr!
Shusuke bit his lip and quickly looked to the side.
“…Jasulrichi!”
According to the original plan.
He had to kidnap Yu Ji-a, but Hong Ari was waiting right there.
‘I have no choice.’
There was only one way.
Use tricks like in the previous friendly match.
Back then it didn’t work because the opponent was the famous Jinugod, but.
‘This time.’
[Supreme Movement Speed Increase Scroll]
[Grade: A-grade]
[Temporarily amplifies summoned creature’s movement speed by 10 times.]
“It will work!”
Riiiip!
As soon as he tore it, he put the Guardian with over 100,000 HP in front and charged forward.
Toward Hong Ari.
“What!”
Hong Ari, panicked by the summoned creatures rushing at tremendous speed, quickly called her Phoenix (A-grade).
Kang Ji-ho’s Berserker (A-grade) too.
Oh Sun-young’s Fenrir (A-grade) too.
They all began moving swiftly toward Shusuke.
“Block them!”
“Focus fire!”
Countless attacks poured down, and with explosive sounds, the training ground filled with dust.
“Ah.”
Yu Ji-a was bewildered.
She had hoped it wouldn’t happen.
She never thought they would actually come.
She never thought they would approach her so blatantly like this.
For now, two Mind Reading Squad members and one owl were perched on her shoulders.
She had placed other attachment summoned creatures nearby too.
She had no choice.
To maintain the protective barrier, summoned creatures had to be within 10 meters of the player.
But then.
Kwaaaaang!
Her entire field of vision was colored with dust.
In a situation where nothing was visible.
Stab!
A spine-chilling sound was heard.
[Player ‘Yu Ji-a’s ‘Paladin’ (A-grade) has been reverse summoned.]
Ah.
The Paladin he had summoned just for protection was instantly defeated.
It had decent runes equipped, but without player control, there was nothing it could do.
‘Who the hell could it be.’
When nothing was visible and frustration was building.
Once again.
Slash.
The sound of something being cut could be heard.
[Player ‘Yu Ji-a’s ‘Mind Reading Squad’ (A-rank) has been reverse summoned.]
That’s when he felt it.
Something was going terribly wrong.
What if all 15 summons that could be summoned died?
Then the golden protective barrier would be released.
In the worst case, it could mean death!
“Damn it! Jia Unni is missing!”
Hong Ari, who had been looking around for Yu Ji-a, shouted vigorously.
‘These cowardly bastards!’
Were they planning to create chaos and then kidnap with assassination-type summons?
This couldn’t continue.
Quick action had to be taken.
“For now, me, Seon-young unni, and Kang Ji-ho will stay here! Everyone else scatter and blockade Yubaek City!”
“”Yes!””
Guild members moving in perfect unison according to Bu Gil-ma’s orders.
“There are only three enemies anyway! Just don’t let them escape! Absolutely! You must protect with your lives!”
And.
What did she have to do inside?
Find Yu Ji-a.
And burn those three players to ashes!
Clench.
Strength entered her fist.
“Ah.”
Slash, slash!
Now only two remained.
Just one snow owl on her shoulder.
And one Black Knight (A-rank) outside.
Yu Ji-a frowned and thought to herself.
‘Maybe I should have learned some control techniques.’
If she had, she wouldn’t have been defeated so helplessly.
She tried shouting at the top of her lungs that she was here, and ran around looking for Hong Ari.
But.
Illusions, and soundproofing.
It was clear they were interfering with related skills.
‘A Jasulrichi perhaps.’
She had heard that one of the Russian rankers had developed in that direction.
Of course, she never thought she would become the target.
And.
Slash!
The Black Knight’s neck was severed.
[Player ‘Yu Ji-a’s ‘Black Knight’ (A-rank) has been reverse summoned.]
Now it was truly the end.
If the snow owl on her shoulder was defeated, this barrier would disappear too.
‘Ah, Jin-woo.’
Yu Ji-a squeezed her eyes shut.
Everything was fine.
Working in a place like this, she had somewhat predicted being caught up in a show of force.
However.
It was sad that she wouldn’t be able to see Baek Jin-woo when he returned.
‘If I had known this would happen…’
Instead of just focusing on work.
She should have enjoyed some dates.
What was life for anyway.
You live to eat delicious food and enjoy yourself.
She had earned a lot of money but had never been on a proper trip.
Sometimes she had never casually had chicken feet and soju at a street stall.
Just.
Work, work, work.
Baek Jin-woo?
Training, training, training.
In that fleeting moment, when countless regrets were passing by.
[Ding!]
[‘Humanity’ conquers the 60th Floor of the Tower of Trials.]
Huh?
Something felt off, so she opened her eyes again.
Then her eyes widened.
‘What?’
60th Floor of the Tower of Trials?
Not the 51st Floor?
No, before that.
‘Why is this status window message appearing to me?’
“What!”
“Did you see it too, noona?”
“What is this?!”
“60th Floor?”
From within the dust.
The bewildered voices of other players could also be heard.
That meant.
‘The status window was delivered to everyone?’
Even.
[Rewards based on contribution are available.]
[1. Baek Jin-woo (South Korea): 83%]
[2. Rachel (England): 17%]
[The 60th Floor of the Tower of Trials is permanently sealed.]
Even contribution rates.
This was certain.
‘He’s back!’
Baek Jin-woo had returned alive.
She didn’t know why, but seeing Rachel’s name there too, there must have been some other story!
Then there was only one thing to do.
‘Desperate Call!’
Fortunately.
Very fortunately.
The remaining summoned creature happened to be a snow owl that had ‘Desperate Call’ registered.
– Desperate Call: Once per day, forcibly summons a designated target player.
An intermediate skill that could call Baek Jin-woo!
Swoosh!
As soon as she used it, a man appeared in front of Yu Ji-a.
“What?”
As soon as he emerged from the Tower of Trials, Baek Jin-woo urgently pressed the call that appeared.
There was no time to greet Rachel or anything.
Baek Jin-woo transferred directly from the Player Zone to the training ground.
“Jin-woo!”
Yu Ji-a, feeling his presence as he appeared right beside her.
She forgot her decision to call him ‘Jin-woo-ssi’ in front of people and rushed into his arms.
Thud.
Catching her as she embraced him.
‘What’s this?’
He thought coldly.
It seemed like some kind of fight had broken out.
Frowning, Baek Jin-woo decided to clear the dust first.
“Hunkyo.”
– Yes, Master.
Swooooosh…!
The appearing Hunkyo swung his sword along with his energy.
The chaotic mess was instantly organized.
The dust cleared.
“Bae, Baek Jin-woo!”
“Guild Master!”
“Waaaah!”
“Hunkyo!”
While everyone was rejoicing at his return, there were three with expressions like they’d eaten shit.
Namely Shusuke, Tarasov, and Jasulrichi.
“What happened here?”
Whatever it was.
Baek Jin-woo’s voice definitely carried a chilling coldness.
The battle instantly entered a lull, and Hong Ari summarized the situation for him.
Learning the gist of what happened, Baek Jin-woo was furious.
He was purely angry.
‘These bastards.’
Taking advantage of Rachel and his absence to attack Yubaek City?
What he hated most.
That was touching his family.
Yu Ji-a, his lover.
The SKY guild members.
They were all like family to him.
“Hunkyo.”
An alien voice pierced his ear.
A low voice with no emotional fluctuation detectable.
– Yes, Master.
Did he sense that atmosphere?
Hunkyo’s eyes also turned cold.
“W, wait.”
Shusuke was flustered.
How did Baek Jin-woo, who they’d confirmed was 100% dead, suddenly appear here!
Tower of Trials 60th Floor?
What was that even!
“Please listen to what we have to…”
Slash slash slash slash slash!
It was one strike.
Hunkyo’s Pacheon Singong Myeolse technique.
In that web-like spreading sword strike, all the opponent’s summoned creatures were torn and shredded.
Even the Guardian, which was a tanker, was butchered by a single strand and reverse-summoned.
Whooom!
The protective barrier immediately disappeared.
Incidentally, Baek Jin-woo didn’t even bring out other summoned creatures.
He didn’t seem to feel they were worth it.
“Talk?”
Baek Jin-woo looked at Shusuke with a cold expression.
Right.
This place was no longer the modern world we once knew.
“I regret letting you live when you caused trouble before.”
“W, wait, spare me…”
Shusuke’s words could no longer continue.
Slash!
Hunkyo’s sword cleanly severed his neck.
“Gasp!”
“Huk!”
Tarasov and Jasulrichi trembled violently.
He was strong.
The opponent was overwhelmingly strong.
If this was how it ended, would Moscow Man’s ambition to devour the world also come to an end?
– Master, what shall we do with these ones?
“I don’t even want to dirty my ears with their desperate pleas.”
– I shall obey your command.
What did that mean?
It meant to kill them.
“Heu, heuaaaah! W, wait a moment!”
“P, please spare us…!”
Their cries also could no longer continue.
Slash, slash!
One by one.
They were lightly cut down by Hunkyo and fell.
He didn’t care what anyone said.
Rather, he wanted to make it known.
‘Those who touch my family?’
This is what happens to them.
