I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 185

Portugal (1)

Lisbon, the capital of Portugal.

Humberto Delgado, its international airport.

Was it because the country was falling apart, or was it always like this?

It was quite old compared to Incheon International Airport.

However.

The place was packed with countless people.

“Korea! Korea! SKY! SKY!”

“Marisa! Marisa!”

“Please save our country!”

Portuguese citizens holding large banners and hand signs.

News of SKY’s visit to Portugal had already spread worldwide.

Because of this, everyone in Portugal from children to adults waited with desperate hearts for the world’s top Players.

The fervor was so tremendous.

“Wow.”

“This is incredible, isn’t it?”

It was visible from far away even before departure screening.

14 SKY Guild Members.

All entering Portugal!

Fortunately, they didn’t have to deal with that massive crowd.

In fact, there was no need for screening at all.

With the president and Prime Minister coming out to greet them with utmost courtesy, what inspection was needed?

“Oh my, you must have had a hard time coming such a long way.”

“Thank you so much, truly thank you for accepting our Marisa Soares’ request!”

The flight time was a whopping 13 hours.

Still, they came comfortably.

Portugal had sent a VIP private jet.

It was a Boeing 787 Dreamliner business jet version, with the aircraft alone costing roughly 400 billion won.

“Hello.”

Baek Jin-woo shook hands with the president in greeting.

“Oh my, to think I’d get to shake such precious hands. Hehe, please take good care of us.”

“Yes, she’s a Guild Member from our affiliated country. We’ll clean up the Dungeons thoroughly before we leave.”

“Th-thank you.”

It was such a reassuring statement.

“Here, this person will guide you.”

The president introduced someone.

It was a military officer in his mid-thirties.

“Sir! I will guide you! I respect you, Jin-woo Baek!”

He was very spirited and disciplined.

“I’m from the National Defense Force! Major Antonio Gomes from the Special Support Division! I’ll guide you to your accommodation first.”

“Yes.”

The accommodation was quite nice.

It was a 5-star hotel in the capital, called Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon.

All 14 rooms were provided as suites.

‘The treatment is definitely good.’

Seeing each Staff member nervous about making any mistakes made him feel awkward for no reason.

But.

They were treating them well because they deserved such treatment, right?

– Wow! Jin-woo! The room is so nice!

He was going to go right away originally, but decided to rest a bit.

No matter how strong Baek Jin-woo was, long-distance flights were somewhat tiring.

He brought 100 cream breads made by Marisa.

They were packed in a large box and vacuum sealed.

Now Ramba’s efficiency would be maximized.

“Everyone rest well today.”

After summoning all his summons, Baek Jin-woo flopped down on the bed.

Ooh.

It was soft and fluffy.

What brand was this?

Harringtons?

It was said to be expensive, and it certainly lived up to its price.

The summons would probably do whatever they wanted for 5 hours before being reverse-summoned.

– Have a good night, Master.

– Jin-woo, good night!

“Yeah, good night.”

Starting tomorrow they’d be running Dungeons like crazy, so he needed to sleep well.

The next day.

After eating hotel breakfast early in the morning, he came to the Meeting Room.

All SKY Guild Members and Major Antonio participated.

“First.”

Baek Jin-woo borrowed a pointer and tapped the map.

“The northern area will be handled by Hong Ari’s team. From here to here.”

“Okay.”

Baek Jin-woo divided the team in two.

No matter how strong they were, they couldn’t all travel together across this vast Portuguese land.

They needed to split up for efficiency.

First.

Team 1?

Hong Ari’s team!

Hong Ari, An Gi-jeong, Kang Geon-ho, Oh Sun-young, Jeong Si-woo, Kang Dae-hyeok

Team 2?

Hwang Ju-won’s team!

Hwang Ju-won, Gi Jae-hyeok, Kang Ji-ho, Song Yeon-hee, Han Yu-na, Seo I-yun

The vice guild master and advisor handled things cleanly and sensibly on their own.

And one person not included here.

Hwang Ji-woo would move together with Baek Jin-woo.

There was no particular reason.

The main focus of this journey was Pokryong, and Pokryong was close to Hwang Ji-woo.

“The south is from here to here. Uncle Ju-won, please take care of it.”

“Confirmed. Just leave it to me.”

And.

“The central area, specifically the City right above Lisbon, Tomar is the worst, right?”

“That’s correct!”

Antonio nodded.

“We suspect an S-grade Dungeon break occurred there.”

“S-grade, huh.”

As explained before, Regular Dungeons also have difficulty levels.

From F-grade to S-grade.

However.

S-grade rarely comes out.

Rachel told me once that there’s almost no chance of it appearing.

Actually, Baek Jin-woo doesn’t really know.

Regular dungeons are a completely different concept from Battle of Summoners.

‘Back then, they were stage dungeons.’

Probably.

Portugal’s level would make it even more backward in summoning than the old South Korea.

There was a high probability they were mistaking a high-difficulty A-grade dungeon.

‘If it’s really an S-grade dungeon?’

The rewards would be substantial.

Usually, the Tower of Trials 10th Floor boss monsters are S-grade.

“This place needs to be dealt with most urgently. Soon, monsters will come rushing toward the capital. Also, transportation to the north has become inconvenient because of this place.”

Tomar.

He roughly explained about that place.

A land where not a single person lives!

An abandoned city!

It had been neglected for quite a long time, so monsters were swarming, and most players wouldn’t even dare attempt it.

‘Too good.’

The more Pokryong has to eat, the better it is for Baek Jin-woo.

Should he just go around all the struggling countries on a first-come-first-served basis this time?

Honestly, Pokryong was the future.

Whether other summons unlock their potential abilities or awaken.

They can’t compare to Pokryong.

True Predation is that overpowered.

‘Of course.’

As you go to the higher floors of the Tower of Trials, there are many situations where you need to split your summons in multiple directions, so you can’t rely on just Pokryong alone.

It’s better to be strong all around.

“Then let’s do it this way. Transportation will all be provided, right?”

“Yes! Would three helicopters be enough?”

“No, make it two.”

Baek Jin-woo grinned.

“I have something better than helicopters.

Sky Wyvern.

Now there probably isn’t a player who can handle this guy better than Baek Jin-woo.

“Then Bugil and the advisor uncle?”

“”Yeah.””

“Exactly one month later, let’s meet again here in Lisbon. Don’t slack off on training just because you’re hunting.”

“”Okay!””

This journey.

Would also be of great help in leveling up their summons.

Hotel rooftop.

– Kiruurururururu!

The wyvern spread its wings wide and roared, then lowered its long neck down.

Hwang Ji-woo naturally climbed on.

By the way, SKY Guild members basically undergo wyvern training.

It’s to quickly clear Friday dungeons, so they don’t have any particular fear of wyverns.

However.

This would be Antonio’s first time.

“Antonio?”

“Yes, yees…!”

He wasn’t showing it, but it was noticeable.

Look at his complexion.

It’s gone pale.

“Do you happen to have acrophobia?”

“N-no, I don’t!”

He really doesn’t.

But?

A civilian riding a wyvern without safety equipment is a different matter entirely.

However.

Portugal’s fate hangs in the balance.

This is the moment ten million citizens have been desperately hoping for with clasped hands.

Can’t provide guidance because of fear of something like this?

He should have his officer badge stripped!

“Where should I get on?”

“Get on behind Hwang Ji-woo there. My Sky Wyvern has a skill called ‘Levitate Falling,’ so it’s safe. No need to worry.”

“Ah, understood.”

Hunkyo had activated it.

A skill that controls gravity so that if a passenger falls, they can land safely on the ground!

Once you get on, there’s absolutely no need to worry.

Now.

Then everything’s ready.

Baek Jin-woo sat comfortably at the very back.

“Let’s go!”

– Kiaaaaaaak!

Whoosh, whoosh!

The wyvern flapped its wings a couple of times, then jumped from the rooftop.

And.

“Uh, uaaaaaaak!”

High in the sky, Antonio’s scream echoed.

Well, they weren’t even going fast.

Such dramatics…

The scenery of Portugal seen from the sky was definitely grim.

Various parts of the city were already devastated.

Collapsed buildings, monsters visible here and there.

“Antonio.”

“Yes, yep!”

After flying for a while, he calmed down.

He seemed to have realized he was safe.

“Please guide us. Which way is Tomar?”

“Ah, over there!”

He pointed far into the distance with his finger.

“You can clearly see monsters swarming everywhere, right?”

“Indeed.”

There were many.

Not as many as Asmodeus’s subordinates, but it looked like about half that number.

“Rather than going straight into the center, it would be better to clear from the outskirts inward.”

“That would be much better for us!”

Portugal doesn’t have dungeon-clearing capabilities anyway.

So it’s not enough to just deal with the center.

He needs to clean it all up thoroughly at once.

Well, they’ll probably come out again later anyway….

That was something to think about when the time came, and first they had to reclaim the territory stolen by the monsters.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Baek Jin-woo chose a spot on the outskirts and landed there gently.

Then he summoned his creatures.

“Don’t be surprised when you see my summons.”

“Ah, I know!”

Antonio answered with an awkward smile.

It was already a well-known fact.

Still, he couldn’t help but be amazed.

To think he’d see the summons of world ranking #1 Baek Jin-woo in person, when he’d only seen them through mass media.

Antonio was even a fan of Pokryong.

‘It’s so cute.’

He liked it even more because of its powerful strength that contrasted with that image.

– Master, did you call for me?

– Hey! Where is this place now?

One by one.

Antonio was moved as he watched the summons emerge, each throwing out a comment.

“I’ll summon mine too.”

Hwang Ji-woo also began bringing out her own creatures one by one.

Seori Myo, Lich, and Ice Ghost appeared.

Kuagagagagaga!

Even the A-grade Ice Bird and Jormungandr revealed their tremendous majesty.

“Oh, ooooh.”

He had been slightly worried.

Could they really reclaim the lost city?

But now it seemed he didn’t need to worry.

They looked so reliable.

“We’re going to walk forward and freeze and burn everything we see. If it gets tough, just let me know. I’ll have you ride a Wyvern.”

“N-no! I may look like this, but I’m a soldier! My stamina is no problem!”

“Hehe, that’s good then.”

They began preparing for the hunt.

“Ramba.”

– Yeah!

“Here, cream bread!”

– Niiice!

Munch munch.

As soon as she ate it.

– Whoa! My body feels strange! I can feel my strength rising!

– Then hurry up and swing it, Ramba.

– Got it!

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!

The targets were Hunkyo, Aso, and Doldoli.

All three evenly!

– Good.

– Nice!

– Gruk….

They seemed to feel that their attack speed was definitely warming up more than before.

They loosened up their bodies as if satisfied.

– I’m ready too, Jin-woo.

Whoooosh!

Streams of fire rippled around her.

Probably anything that got caught in there would melt completely, whatever it was.

It contained such a destructive aura.

“Well then, shall we go now?”

Whatever was in the center.

Let’s sweep it all away.
