I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 186

Portugal (2)

Late at night.

Belém Palace, Lisbon.

The President couldn’t fall asleep.

‘Indeed.’

How would things be progressing!

The southern area had helicopters providing real-time coverage, but the central and northern areas were difficult.

There were too many monsters, making it dangerous for safety reasons.

Just as he was wringing his hands with sweat and stamping his feet anxiously.

“Senhor Presidente!”

The chief of staff came running, calling out the ‘President’ title.

“There’s a call from Lieutenant Antonio!”

“Really? Is that true?”

He had told them in advance.

If conditions allowed, please report the situation every night.

And if it seemed too much, don’t rush it but take it slowly.

‘Even if it’s Baek Jin-woo.’

It wasn’t an amount that just two players could clean up completely.

There were far too many monsters.

“Yes! How is the situation!”

The President asked with a trembling voice as he took the receiver.

– It’s, it’s unbelievable.

That was the Lieutenant’s first words.

“Unbelievable?”

– Yes, haven’t we deployed countless mercenaries so far? All of that feels unnecessary now. Jin-woo Baek is simply a god.

“What do you mean by that? Tell me in detail.”

– There are no dangerous elements at all. And it’s incredibly easy. The Explosion Dragon Mage just shoots flames and all the monsters melt away without even letting out a scream. Whether A-rank or bosses, all without exception. The dungeon clearing speed is tremendous too. Once they enter, I’ve never seen it take more than a minute. It still doesn’t feel real.

“Huh, huuh…”

Antonio’s feelings were conveyed directly through his voice.

But did that make sense?

He thought that, but then again, the man who made the impossible possible was indeed Baek Jin-woo.

“Then what are the chances of clearing the central area?”

– I’m not sure. However, he’s cleaning up methodically from the outskirts. He’s incredibly thorough. It seems like he doesn’t want to miss even a single F-rank dungeon.

Ah.

The President’s heart swelled with the news coming through the receiver.

That region was too expensive to call the world’s five major powers, and completely impossible with ordinary mercenaries, yet it was being cleared so easily and swiftly?

“Lieutenant Antonio, thank you so much. You’re working hard day and night.”

– Not at all, Senhor Presidente. I’m honored to witness such an amazing scene firsthand.

“…”

The President fell silent for a moment.

As he placed his hand on his chest, he felt the tension and burden that had built up until now melting away.

The peace of his homeland.

It was approaching through the fingertips of that girl, Marisa.

“Lieutenant, our citizens are waiting for this news too. Please work a little harder.”

– Yes, sir!

The call ended.

Envy was unavoidable.

If only our country had a larger population…

If only we had a player like Baek Jin-woo because of that.

How comfortable would that have been?

But now it was okay.

He was satisfied enough with the present.

Because Marisa Soares was connected to SKY Guild.

That alone had become a tremendous strength for Portugal.

Whoooosh!

The monsters burned away refreshingly.

Each and every one became experience points for the summoned creatures and stacks for our Pokryong.

– Wow… We’re just moving around. Pokryong is sweeping everything away!

Now Ramba didn’t even swing her staff.

Just putting it up for about 30 minutes was sufficient.

More than that?

Meaningless.

It was like using a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken.

“Truly amazing.”

Antonio never got tired of watching.

Whoosh!

Watching the burning monsters, he felt a heavy thrill rising deep in his chest.

He recalled the blood-stained streets of Portugal, the faces of people wailing after losing family and neighbors.

The sight of those terrible creatures that had plunged the country into despair writhing and disappearing in flames gave him incomparable satisfaction.

– Master, how about we do it this way instead?

It was then that Hunkyo, who had become slightly bored, approached.

“Hm?”

– While Master goes around the perimeter, Aso and I will go to the central area.

“To the central area?”

– Yes, we need to train Aso anyway. I’m thinking of teaching the new martial arts of the Wuji Immortal and Pacheon Singong there.

“Hmm, would that be better?”

It didn’t matter anyway.

Even if they died there, they would just be reverse-summoned, and it didn’t seem likely they would die.

Moreover?

After 5 hours, they would start from here again anyway.

“Go ahead then. Take care.”

– Thank you, Master.

– Father, then I’ll go level up a bit!

“Yes, yes.”

Hunkyo and Aso departed.

Baek Jin-woo knew why Hunkyo was impatient.

It was probably because he wanted to quickly awaken his abilities.

Since he had unlocked Ramba’s potential abilities, now it was Doldoli and Aso’s turn.

Well.

Doldoli aside.

Aso needed to master martial arts intensively, so much more time was required.

Because all the martial arts he was learning were no ordinary techniques.

That was probably why.

“Hwang Ji-woo.”

“Yes, Jin-woo!”

Dash!

She, who had been sweetly absorbing experience points nearby with preliminary touches before Pokryong could get to them, came running.

“You and Antonio go about 200m ahead first. Go and freeze everything.”

Experience points are gained according to monster elimination contribution.

It’s a kind of bus system.

It’s a win-win for both sides.

Pokryong not only builds stacks with last hits, but Hwang Ji-woo’s newly acquired Jormungandr (A-rank) has mob gathering skills.

It clusters mobs together to make them much easier for Pokryong to hunt.

“Pokryong and I will follow along and handle everything as we go.”

“Yes, understood!”

Once again.

The hunt began.

A week passed.

It was a long time if you considered it long, short if you considered it short.

But the reported dungeon clear speed was tremendous.

“Half of the southern region has already been cleared!”

“The northern region is the same! The survivors who lived there are cheering and making a huge fuss!”

And.

“The central region has been completely cleared except for Tomar.”

“That’s right! They’re cleaning everything without leaving a single monster nearby!”

Heh, heheheh!

The Portuguese President didn’t know what to do with himself upon hearing this news.

He wondered if it was okay to receive such grace.

Naturally, this news spread beyond Portugal to the entire world.

As a result, countries that were jealous naturally emerged.

First, Czech Republic.

– We’re struggling too! Being landlocked with many mountainous regions makes it difficult to hunt down all the monsters!

Next, Hungary.

– Mountainous terrain? That’s easy talk! Do you think having many plains makes hunting easier? While mountainous terrain allows you to fight while defending here and there, plains are hopeless!

The Belgian President also stepped forward.

– Hey! We have a small territory but a large population, making us more vulnerable to monsters! Please send support our way too!

In addition to that.

Greece, Netherlands, Sweden, Sri Lanka, Bolivia, Chile, and so on…

Numerous countries began pleading to please save their citizens.

They sent invitations through SKY’s official website.

“President.”

Those official documents were compiled into papers and placed on Yu Ji-a’s desk.

“Hmm.”

Yu Ji-a pressed her temple with her finger.

This is really.

Troublesome.

We’re not volunteers or anything.

Why are they making such bold demands?

Of course, the official documents did state they could provide everything they could offer.

‘For now.’

Setting aside whether to help or not.

Baek Jin-woo is busy.

We’ve already set aside a month just for this Portugal journey, and now they want us to help other countries?

‘That’s a bit much.’

The current guild members also need to return after this trip and train again.

We’ll need to start preparing in earnest for climbing the Tower of Trials soon.

For now.

Let’s handle everything with no response.

If we say we’ll help, they’ll have expectations, and if we firmly say we won’t help, there might be backlash.

Swoosh.

Yu Ji-a neatly organized the incoming official documents to one side.

About two more days passed.

The outer area cleanup was completely finished.

What emerges after we pass through will now be Portugal’s responsibility to manage well.

We’re planning to leave behind a few B-rank summoned creatures from the guild.

‘Since it’s the country of Marisa, who belongs to our guild.’

We can provide that level of care.

Whoosh, whoooosh!

And now we entered the central area, Tomar, in earnest.

The quantity of monsters was definitely on a different level from the outskirts.

However.

Dragon Explosion Technique.

Secret technique.

Transform.

Thud.

The dragon head staff touching the ground.

And when streams of fire extending branch by branch from between them danced gracefully.

– Kiiiiaaaaaak!

– Kieeeeeeeeeek!

A literal hell of fire unfolded for the monsters.

Now the damage output just seems ridiculous.

That Metal Bear (A-rank) visible over there is quite a troublesome tank-type monster.

It just melted the moment Pokryong’s fire stream grazed it.

It wasn’t hit.

It was grazed.

“Incredible.”

If even Baek Jin-woo was clicking his tongue.

What about Antonio?

“Is this really the power of a D-rank summoned creature?”

Ah.

Only guild members know that Baek Jin-woo has the new concept rank of EX-grade.

Even then, we told them because we had unavoidable circumstances requiring us to clear the Tower of Trials through Hunkyo, but we wanted to keep it hidden if possible.

Therefore, externally, Pokryong is D-rank.

However, the general public now knows that it was a summoned creature so overpowered in Battle of Summoners that it was deleted.

There are so many gamers.

It would be strange if rumors didn’t spread.

“It certainly deserved to be patched.”

“Well, that’s right. Tomar will probably be completely cleared in about 3 days.”

Tomar is a small city.

Originally, it was a beautiful city with monasteries of the Temple Knight Order, various churches, city districts, and parks spread along the Nabao River…

But now, well.

It’s ruins.

If we walk slowly and examine everything thoroughly, it would probably take about that much time, right?

“Thank you. Thank you so much!”

Antonio repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

If we can reclaim just this place, Portugal will become livable again.

Transportation will be restored, and the economy will start moving.

How much time had passed like that?

– Master.

Hunkyo approached from far away.

“Hm?”

– There’s a somewhat strange monster near the Temple Knight Order. I think we should go check it out.

“Strange? What exactly do you mean by that?”

Is it strong?

– It doesn’t look weak. But it’s quite peculiar. It doesn’t seem like the type of monster we’ve seen before.

“…Really?”

If Hunkyo says it’s not weak…

It was indeed quite a serious problem for the Portuguese people.

Could it really be that an S-rank dungeon had appeared?

“By any chance.”

It was then that Antonio, who had been listening, stepped forward.

“Is it a monster carrying a scythe?”

– That’s right. It was holding a golden scythe.

“That’s the monster! That damn thing is what turned Tomar into this mess!”

“You knew about it originally?”

“Yes, it’s probably the monster we suspected was from an S-rank dungeon break. Actually, we only heard about it from players who vaguely spotted it from a distance, so we don’t have accurate information.”

Hmm.

Is there really something there?

Baek Jin-woo nodded and looked at Hunkyo.

“Guide us, let’s go check that area first.”

– Yes, Master.
