I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 179
Awakening Test (2)
Swoosh, swish!
Two summoned creatures staring at each other with weapons aimed.
In that heavy tension.
– Ohhh, what’s thiiis?
– They’re fighting, the newcomer’s blood looks delicious.
Several summoned creatures from other places gathered around.
It was Ramba and Dampir.
Then.
– Shh.
Aso brought her index finger to her lips.
– This is a sacred duel. Everyone be quiet, and if you want to watch, watch quietly next to Father.
– Tch, fine.
– Okay.
Dampir sat next to Aso, and Ramba climbed onto Baek Jin-woo’s shoulder.
Even during that brief commotion, Eila and Hunkyo didn’t lose their concentration.
Whooom!
The tip of Eila’s spear began to emit a faint light as divine power started swirling around it.
Sky-colored Spear Strike!
The moment this hits, it explodes and deals additional holy damage.
At that moment.
Eila was the first to move.
Dash!
She charged forward so fast it was as if her body suddenly disappeared.
Clatter clatter clack!
The spear flew toward Hunkyo, drawing light.
Swoosh.
Hunkyo quickly twisted his body to dodge the spear.
– You’re quite fast, but too straightforward.
Swish.
While stepping to the side, Hunkyo lightly swung his sword to slash Eila’s side.
Clang!
A collision sound rang out.
Eila had anticipated that trajectory and defended against it.
– That last one was good.
At the same time.
Bang!
The effect of the Sky-colored Spear Strike burst out, and Hunkyo was pushed back.
– Hmm, not easy.
– You told me to do it properly.
– You’re doing very well.
This time Hunkyo charged first, and Eila blocked the sword with her spear.
Claaaaaang!
The strength of both was almost evenly matched.
“Hmm.”
Baek Jin-woo, who was watching, grabbed his chin.
This is unexpected.
No matter how much she awakened, I thought Hunkyo would overwhelm her.
“Aso.”
– Yes, Father.
“Who do you think will win?”
– Umm…
Aso pondered.
Even after 10 seconds passed, she couldn’t speak well.
The fact that the genius girl was seriously contemplating meant…
It was really difficult.
– Personally, I thought Hunkyo would win, but look there.
Before they knew it, the duel was getting fierce.
Moreover, Eila wasn’t an S-grade summoned creature for nothing.
Boom!
Moonlight Judgment: Raises the spear to bring down sacred moonlight judgment. All enemies are stunned for 5 seconds.
She bound Hunkyo with a single blast of moonlight emanating from her spear.
Then she jumped and threw her spear directly at him.
Whiiiiish!
Heavenly Ascension: Heavenly Ascension: Throws the spear. Causes a massive holy explosion at the landing point.
Boooooom!
A storm began to rage with the spot where the spear was embedded as the epicenter.
– Grrr.
Thud, thud!
If Jakgeo hadn’t gotten up to absorb the impact, the entire training ground would have been blown away.
“Ha.”
Well now.
Sparring in this kind of training ground will be difficult from now on.
Should we go into a nearby dungeon to do it?
– Kugh, you’re definitely strong.
Hunkyo nodded while blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
– You’re amazing for withstanding that too.
– I took more damage.
Champion’s awakening effect.
Deals 200% additional damage to non-awakened targets.
Because of that, Hunkyo’s damaged state was serious.
Only about 10% of his HP remained.
The fact that he had pushed Hunkyo, who used to handle multiple enemies alone with ease, to that point showed just how overpowered Champion was as a summoned creature.
Moreover.
Claaaang!
No matter how much Hunkyo swung his sword, 50% of the damage was absorbed because he was a non-awakened target.
‘This is really ridiculous.’
Hunkyo bit his lip.
But he couldn’t give up.
Anyway, Eila had used up all her major skills too.
Now it was truly time to fight martial arts against martial arts!
– I’ll start getting serious too.
Whoosh!
When he thrust his sword again, the flow of air began to change.
He deflected all of Eila’s spear thrusts while continuously landing small attacks.
– Oh.
Aso nodded.
– As expected, Hunkyo. Experienced.
“Really?”
– Yeah, Eila has better physical specs, but Hunkyo definitely has the upper hand in technique. That’s what makes her scary too. What level would Eila reach if she properly learned spear techniques from Hunkyo?
“….”
That would definitely be overpowered, wouldn’t it?
And if her potential abilities were drawn out on top of that?
Maybe another unofficial EX-grade summoned creature would be born.
‘Originally, turning even low-grade creatures into overpowered ones was Hunkyo’s specialty.’
Kwagagagaga!
Even as 5 minutes passed, then 10 minutes.
The two continued fighting.
However, what had changed?
While Eila’s HP was gradually decreasing, Hunkyo’s HP remained almost the same!
Hunkyo dragged out the time while steadily chipping away at Eila’s HP bit by bit.
– Ha.
Eila let out a frustrated breath.
This won’t work.
She clearly had strength and was sturdy.
But she couldn’t handle those snake-like movements.
Hunkyo’s movements were cold and perfect, as if reading the flow of all combat.
‘Amazing.’
From now on, someone like that would teach spear techniques?
Thinking that way, even being pushed back didn’t feel bad or anything.
Kaang, kaang!
Sword and spear clashed.
It was clear that continuing wouldn’t help, but she gave her best in that moment.
How much time had passed like that?
Swish!
Hunkyo’s sword tip touched Eila’s neck.
– Hoo.
A faint breath flowed tremblingly from her lips.
– I lost.
Eila acknowledged her defeat.
– You worked hard. It was a good experience for me too.
Hunkyo nodded.
At the same time.
– Waaaaaaah! Amazing!
Ramba let out a cheer.
Clap clap clap clap clap!
Aso and Dampir sat side by side, clapping their hands.
That combination of two little ones was quite cute too.
“Does Aso not need to spar?”
– That should be fine.
Hunkyo said as she approached.
Baek Jin-woo patted her shoulder a couple times as if she had worked hard.
“How was it after trying?”
– It’s incredible. If awakening is possible… it absolutely must be done. Honestly, if she had learned the spear techniques she’ll teach in the future to even 3-star level, I wouldn’t have been able to win.
“Hmm.”
Awakening.
Doing it would be good.
But how to do it was the problem.
– Actually… I got a feeling about that. Master.
It was then that Hunkyo carefully spoke up.
“Huh? A feeling?”
– The instructor skill I learned unlocks the potential abilities of summoned creatures, doesn’t it?
Yeah.
That’s right.
Instructor: Unlocks the potential abilities of other summoned creatures and amplifies their growth speed.
This skill.
The overpowered skill that made E-grade Hunkyo into EX-grade, and her everything!
– I never thought this instructor skill would target me. Since I had already learned the instructor skill, which is my greatest potential ability.
Mm.
That’s right.
‘Instructor’ is Hunkyo’s potential skill.
But why is that?
– But now that instructor skill is telling me. That it hasn’t yet drawn out your true ability with this skill.
Huh?
“What do you mean? Explain it a bit more simply.”
– So…
Hunkyo recited with a serious expression.
– It says it will tell me how to awaken.
Huh?
Hunkyo awakening?
“Really?”
That would be pretty amazing?
– Ooooh?
Ramba’s eyes widened too.
– You want to get even stronger?
Aso muttered as if slightly displeased.
However.
Baek Jin-woo smiled more brightly than anyone else.
“What’s the method! Just tell me! I’ll grant anything!”
Awakening is similar to unlocking potential abilities.
If you resolve some kind of deficiency, resentment, trauma, etc.?
That becomes the trigger for awakening.
Look at Eila.
Her regret and resentment from being unable to protect her once-destroyed world remained, and ultimately she awakened to achieve that, didn’t she?
– I’ve only seen the potential ability unlocking of high-level summoned creatures twice so far, Master.
Hoo.
Actually, that’s true.
It’s just that Hunkyo and Pokryong were so strong that we’ve come this far.
The other ones are still just at the level of having graduation runes.
Of course, even that alone makes them incredibly strong.
The ones who have unlocked potential abilities now?
Explosive Dragon Mage – True Predation
Rune Dwarf – Masterpiece Creation
Only these two.
Even then, rather than Hunkyo making them do it, she just guided them, and they accomplished it all themselves.
“So?”
– I think unlocking a total of five potential abilities including those two would work.
“So three more?”
– That’s right.
Ah.
Hunkyo’s dream is to train others well…
Was his inability to properly unlock potential abilities until now some kind of deficiency that remained?
“If that’s the case, you’re still continuing to do it now.”
– I think we need to start in earnest from now on.
“If it’s three, who will you choose?”
– Ramba, Doldoli, and Aso.
– Eeeeeek! Me?
Ramba, who was listening, jumps in surprise.
– I don’t need to do it, you know? Hahahaha, I’m already perfect! Do you know how outstanding my performance is in every dungeon?!
She avoids it, worried about another intense training session.
Hunkyo glances at Ramba as if she’s pathetic.
Hoo!
He lets out a light sigh and says.
– Don’t worry. You won’t need to swing a staff.
– Eh? Then?
– I’ll only answer that much for now.
– Hoeek?
Hmm.
Ramba’s potential ability…
What could it be?
During “Battle of Summoners,” he couldn’t unlock it.
In Ramba’s case, the ‘wind pressure’ skill itself was overpowered… so it was quickly patched.
‘In Doldoli’s case.’
Clone technique.
That was the real reason Doldoli was overpowered, but strangely, the ability still hasn’t been unlocked.
‘If he just learns the clone technique?’
All PVP matches can be finished in 10 seconds.
Dozens of divided reapers wielding scythes simultaneously deal splash damage.
Only then would he truly become the Gale Slayer, living up to his name.
‘Lastly, Aso.’
In Aso’s case, he probably needs to master a specific martial art to perfection.
Like the Pacheon Singong he learned this time, or the Wuji Immortal’s Geoncheongsimgong.
Things like that…
It’s going to be tough going forward.
“So what can I help you with?”
– There’s nothing needed right now. I’ll make a separate request later if something comes up, Master.
“Got it.”
As expected.
Our Hunkyo.
So reliable.
“Huuuu.”
After watching the sparring match once, Baek Jin-woo immediately descended the mountain.
Where to?
To the main training ground!
Now Yubaek City has two training grounds.
Baek Jin-woo’s exclusive eco-friendly training ground and SKY’s exclusive training ground.
From now on, they agreed to call the former the ‘rear training ground’ and the latter the ‘main training ground.’
The main training ground was full of enthusiasm.
With the goal of the 50th Floor of the Tower of Trials, everyone was running toward only that!
‘I need to consult with the new members too.’
But before that.
There’s one thing I need to do.
Clap clap clap clap!
When Baek Jin-woo arrived and clapped his hands.
“Guildmaster!”
“Big brother!”
“Oh, you’re here?”
All the guild members stopped what they were doing and welcomed him warmly.
Especially the new members.
Dash dash dash!
They immediately ran over and stood in a line, looking at him with bright, eager eyes.
What’s this?
“Why are these people so disciplined? You didn’t bully them or anything while I was gone, did you?”
“Come on, as if we would.”
Hong Ari approached with a smile.
“We’re all so close with each other. Of course, we maintain respect according to seniority, but there’s nothing like old-fashioned military stuff. They’re just like that because they respect you.”
“Oh, really?”
That could be possible.
Well, they’re waiting for consulting anyway.
Yeah, that works out well.
Let’s get it all done at once today.
I’ll have individual interviews with each of them too.
“First, today is drawing day. If there’s anything good for combinations while drawing, I’ll give them as gifts, so everyone gather around.”
“Drawing?”
“Gifts?”
“Really, big brother?”
Everyone shows interest.
They have to.
Scatter!
What Baek Jin-woo scattered on the ground was none other than 1,282 supreme summoning scrolls!
These were what he had before plus what he got as a reward from the 60th floor.
Looking at the scattered summoning scrolls.
The guild members’ eyes began to widen as if they might pop out.
