I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 177

Emergency Meeting

10 minutes later.

Hunkyo entered.

“How is it?”

– Quite good, Master.

“Oh.”

The word “quite good” came from that picky Hunkyo’s mouth?

– Their stamina isn’t bad either, and above all, they all have good constitutions. They don’t reach the level of Master or Song Yeon-hee, but I should be able to bring them up to the current guild members’ average level in a short time.

Ooh.

Then we picked them well.

Well.

From what I heard, they gathered a hundred outstanding people and made them compete to pick four.

It would be funny if there were ordinary people among them.

Anyway.

If they caught Hunkyo’s eye, then it’s okay.

“Work them hard once. Oh, and.”

Swoosh!

When I turned my head, I could see Eila sitting on the sofa, staring blankly.

“Eila is also family now, so you’ll train her too, right?”

– Of course. I’ve already thought of some spear techniques suitable for her to learn.

“Ooh, really?”

As expected of Hunkyo.

He’s definitely serious about training.

“Let’s check her awakening first before that.”

Eila is different from ordinary summoned creatures.

She’s probably the only summoned creature in the entire world that has undergone ‘awakening’.

Baek Jin-woo wanted to experiment with how significant that difference would be.

“About three hours from now? I heard they built a new training ground, so let’s go check it out.”

– Yes, I’ll prepare. Master.

Swoosh.

Hunkyo left.

‘Hmm, what runes should I use for Eila.’

Trinity would probably be good, right?

“Runde.”

– Did you call, Master!

This time Runde popped out.

Baek Jin-woo opened his inventory to check the number of supreme rune selection tickets.

[Supreme Rune Selection Ticket (Bound) x 83]

The reward obtained this time.

With this, I can pull out exactly up to rare runes.

Baek Jin-woo used 18 of them and converted them all into versatile runes.

Then he handed them to Runde.

– Ooh, another unique rune?

“Yeah, make me a Trinity set.”

Runde’s cheat ability to create runes beyond the limitation barrier!

That’s why Runde is also EX-grade.

– Good! Wait just a moment! My proficiency has improved quite a bit now, so I should be able to make it quickly!

While he was in the tower, Yubaek City also underwent quite a lot of changes.

First.

The planned city that Yu Ji-a had envisioned was already taking shape.

Land leveling work was in full swing to the east of the existing apartment complex, and the training ground had already completed its expansion.

Since it’s a place Baek Jin-woo uses, the fastest and most perfect way!

– Wow, this is amazing!

Ramba flew around here and there, appreciating the changed training ground.

Baek Jin-woo also walked around with his hands behind his back, examining every corner.

Honestly speaking, it was incredible.

The visual was to the extent that I wondered if it was possible to change Geomdan Mountain like this.

A vast field spread out in the mountains!

Rocky hills rising on all sides!

‘This seems to be designed with soundproofing in mind.’

There was even soft grass, shade, and a small pond in the rest area.

Baek Jin-woo released all his summoned creatures except Runde there.

An eco-friendly private training ground!

Yu Ji-a said she created this space solely for Baek Jin-woo.

Naturally, there were buildings here too, and everything that was in the main training ground was equipped.

– Grwooooo…

Jakgeo walked with heavy steps.

He went to a high rocky hill and sat down with a thud!

– Jakgeo seems to be in a very good mood.

Dampir approached with a smile.

From the way she’s flicking her tongue, she must be thirsty.

“Here.”

When I extended my arm, as expected.

– Aang!

She bit down.

I keep feeding her once a day…

Wondering if this was okay, I had asked Hunkyo about it.

Then.

– I’ve been watching continuously, and it actually seems good for Master. Blood circulation improves, and she seems to mainly draw out bad blood… It would probably be fine to draw blood a bit more frequently.

That’s what he said.

Since then, I just happily extend my arm whenever she approaches.

Anyway.

The summoned creatures seemed quite excited.

– Kihahahaha! Come at me! Is that all you can move?

– Kruk…!

In one corner, Aso and Doldoli were already starting their training while playing around.

The sight of them running around the vast field, dodging the scythe that Doldoli was swinging, was excellent.

What about Pokryong?

Whoosh!

She’s doing control training again, shooting out streams of fire.

“Pokryong.”

– Yes, Jin-woo.

“You can rest a bit.”

Honestly speaking, among the summoned creatures I have, Pokryong is the strongest.

Since she’ll grow exponentially stronger every time we go to a dungeon, training isn’t really necessary for her anymore.

But.

– No, Jin-woo. When everyone else is working hard, I can’t rest alone.

“No, I don’t know about the others, but you’re fine.”

You took down Asmodeus in one hit this time, didn’t you?

– Aw, Jin-woo prefers stronger summoned creatures anyway.

“Huh?”

What’s that supposed to mean!

“What do you take me for.”

Ahem.

Though there’s some truth to that statement!

Once Baek Jin-woo designates someone as elite, he tries to treat all those summoned creatures fairly and equally.

– Isn’t that right?

“No, it’s not.”

– …Hmm, it can’t be otherwise.

Somehow Pokryong’s expression became serious.

What.

Why is she acting like that.

“Anyway. Stop saying weird things. Come on. Everyone gather around.”

Baek Jin-woo clapped his hands together.

Then, one by one, they gathered in front.

“First, let me introduce our new friend. As you all know, this is the Champion I met in the tower. Her name is Eila Lunares.”

– Owaaaaa! Nice to meet you, I’m the attack speed fairy Ramba! Be nice to me! Then you’ll be able to taste a new world!

– Nice to meet you, Eila. You’re quite tall. I’m called Pokryong.

– Grwooo….

– Yo. I wonder, does your blood taste good?

The summoned creatures each took turns greeting Eila.

She began conversing with each of them one by one with a curious feeling.

It was a heartwarming sight even from a distance.

Yes.

Everyone get along well.

In the future, to climb the tower, nothing would be more important than teamwork….

London, England.

Rachel, who had returned, immediately held a grand funeral.

World Ranking 8th, Gareth Bale.

World Ranking 15th, Sandy Mackiver.

It was his and her funeral.

All the England National Team members including Rachel and Olivia shed tears, and the citizens were also enraged.

“Gareth and Sandy were precious colleagues and family to me. They were also the vanguard who led England to honor. Though we must sadly bid them farewell, their spirit and achievements will remain in our hearts forever.”

Rachel’s speech continued as she suppressed her emotions.

Massive compensation was provided to the families of the two heroes.

Also, scholarship foundations were established in the names of the deceased, taking measures to ensure their names would be remembered forever.

“Phew.”

Only after everything was settled.

The message she had seen when exiting the tower came to mind.

[The 60th Floor of the Tower of Trials is permanently sealed.]

Rachel found that message the most unsettling.

Even now, the whole world was in an uproar because of that message.

Just what was the Tower of Trials trying to do?

‘If I’m curious, I should just go see for myself.’

Rachel alone entered the entrance of the Tower of Trials again.

“S-surely you’re not planning to challenge it again right away?”

The permanent staff member guarding the tower made an expression hoping she wouldn’t do that.

Rachel smiled bitterly and shook her head.

“No, I just stopped by to check something.”

“Ah, I see. Understood!”

The staff member stepped aside.

Step, step.

She walked slowly toward the main gate.

Whirrrr!

Then the door automatically opened and the black aurora rippled inside.

‘First.’

Just entering there doesn’t automatically mean attempting a trial.

You enter there, set up your party, and then.

[Would you like to challenge?]

[Y/N]

You have to press Y here to actually enter.

Therefore.

Swoosh.

She entered for now.

[Entering the Tower of Trials.]

[The difficulty of the Tower of Trials is considerably high.]

[Caution is advised.]

Pitch-black background.

A warning message passing by once was the same as before.

[Tower of Trials parties can employ up to 3 parties total.]

[Please complete the settings.]

She roughly set up the party.

What came next was important.

Originally.

[You can now challenge the 61st Floor.]

[Would you like to challenge?]

[Y/N]

This kind of message should appear.

It was the same for the 51st Floor.

However.

Beeeeeep!

Along with a long warning sound, the newly appearing status display was definitely different from before.

Tower of Trials Emergency Patch Notice!

1. When challenging the 61st Floor, missions will continue until the 70th Floor.

2. Humanity must conquer the 70th Floor within 1 year from the notice time. (Time remaining: 361 days 5 hours)

3. Upon failure, humanity’s extinction is confirmed.

4. Eligible participants: Maximum 50 people (Only those who have passed the 50th Floor of the Tower of Trials may enter.)

‘What is this….’

Rachel suppressed her bewildered feelings and slowly read through the notice.

So.

Like the previous 51st-60th Floors, the Tower of Trials was integrated again.

And 50 people had to challenge together and clear the 70th Floor within a year?

[Would you like to challenge?]

[Y/N]

‘No.’

She immediately pressed N.

The situation was very serious.

The 60th Floor was already difficult, so how could they clear the 70th Floor in just one year!

And what?

50 people who cleared the 50th Floor of the Tower of Trials?

To begin with, there are only two people in the world who have cleared the 50th floor.

Herself and Jinugod.

‘They’ve gone mad.’

She had to report this quickly.

She needed to announce it to the world and prepare countermeasures immediately.

The staff who saw Rachel’s expression as she came out.

“A-Are you alright?”

“Why did your complexion suddenly turn so pale…?”

They asked in confusion.

Step, step.

Rachel, now urgent, couldn’t even answer and quickly moved to the guild.

An emergency video conference proposal came in from Red Rose in England.

There were four participants.

Rachel from England.

Baek Jin-woo from Korea.

Jenos from the United States.

Hikaru from Japan.

Fortunately, everyone had the equipment, and the meeting proceeded in secret.

In Baek Jin-woo’s case, he used equipment installed in the Yubaek Headquarters building.

There were several large screens.

Each of their faces appeared on them.

First.

“Once again, I express my regret and apology for this incident.”

Yoshida Hikaru immediately clasped both hands together and bowed his head deeply.

“My failure to manage guild members, allowing someone like Beskof to create a situation that threatens world order. It’s all my fault. I should have actively prevented it, but I failed to do so.”

Then he continued apologizing repeatedly.

“It’s shameful, but I will take responsibility for my mistakes. From now on, I will abandon all greed and do my best with the attitude of a faithful servant to ensure the Blood Alliance can be maintained.”

This wasn’t Japan’s apology.

It was Hikaru’s individual apology.

But that was enough.

His will would determine Japan’s future course of action.

“For now.”

Rachel opened her mouth with a serious expression.

“That’s not what’s important right now. The situation is serious.”

“What’s wrong?”

Jenos also looked to be in good condition.

His injuries seemed to have recovered considerably.

“It seems a new Quest has arrived for humanity.”

“Quest?”

“Yes, a humanity extinction Quest.”

Rachel began slowly explaining the scene she had witnessed.
