I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 187

Portugal (3)

“Hmm.”

The further I went along the path Hunkyo was guiding us, the more I felt something unpleasant.

– Do you feel it, Master?

“Yeah.”

What should I call this feeling…?

Should I call it animal instinct?

It felt like I had become one of two predators fighting over territory.

My hair stood on end and my mind rang alarm bells.

Warning me to be careful.

‘This kind of thing.’

Something I only feel when facing Tower of Trials bosses.

Which means?

‘That’s right.’

It seems like it really is an S-Rank Dungeon Break.

I feel bad about this.

I doubted them for nothing.

– Jin-woooo! I’ll stack again…! Hahahaha, I’ve been resting too much until now. Right?

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Ramba, who had been playing around, started swinging her staff again.

Swish!

Hunkyo and Aso drew their swords, and Doldoli raised his scythe.

– Grrrr…

In Doldoli’s case, somehow.

He seemed sharper than before.

After walking a bit more like that, when the air definitely became heavier.

– Master.

Hunkyo, who was walking at the front, raised his hand to stop everyone.

Where his gaze was directed.

A black silhouette slowly revealed itself from the hazy darkness.

‘A reaper with a golden scythe.’

That’s right, that bastard.

[Warning! Warning! Warning!]

[A boss monster appears!]

Even the warning message that would appear in regular dungeons!

It’s certain.

Slash!

The creature happened to slice off the head of a monster next to it in one strike.

The monster couldn’t even scream and collapsed to the ground.

– Kiaaaack!

An eerie scream echoed from the reaper’s mouth.

At the same time, dark blue smoke rose from the fallen monster’s body.

– Soul Reaper…

Hunkyo frowned.

When the creature absorbed that smoke with the tip of its scythe, its body grew slightly larger.

– I wondered why it seemed somewhat strong, it appears to have been growing its power by devouring monster souls. Moreover, judging by its size, it has eaten quite a lot.

– Grrrrr…!

From earlier.

Gale Slayer had been furious.

“What’s wrong?”

– Grrr…!

He points at the opponent with his scythe.

Then.

[Emergency Quest activated!]

[‘Gale Slayer’ (EX-rank) receives an emergency Quest!]

[Would you like to open the Quest?]

[Y/N]

“Oh!”

An emergency Quest!

I’m receiving this here like this again?

‘Yes.’

There’s no need to even think about it.

When it comes to quests, just accept them without asking questions.

[Emergency Quest!]

[Gale Slayer encounters a reaper that goes against his beliefs! He believes that souls circulating is the natural flow. However, Soul Reaper is obsessed with absorbing souls to amplify its own power. It uses that suffering as fuel to trap souls in darkness. Gale Slayer cannot stand by and watch this.]

[Defeat three Soul Reapers (S-rank)! (0/3)]

[Time limit: 100 days]

[Current period – 0 days, 00:00:00]

What the.

I have to deal with three of those things?

And there’s even a time limit?

– Grrrrr…!

Doldol was furious as if he would leap out at any moment.

Come to think of it.

This guy Doldol.

I didn’t know what his deficiency was, but he’s a guy with quite profound beliefs, huh?

‘And he’s kind.’

So.

He doesn’t want to see souls suffer, and wants to liberate them! Isn’t that it?

If that’s his heart, I absolutely have to help.

“Pokryong.”

– Yes, Jin-woo.

“Beat it up.”

– Yes!

Thud.

Pokryong’s staff fell.

Her strongest skill that she had been accumulating all this time began to unfold.

Explosive Dragon Technique.

Secret technique.

Annihilation.

It was the final boss from the start.

Lieutenant Antonio was horrified.

Soul Reaper?

That thing was definitely different.

It was truly what you could call the embodiment of nightmares.

The moment you’re cut by that golden scythe, your soul would be sucked into that eerie creature.

Shiver shiver shiver.

He trembled.

It was an unavoidable human instinct.

Like prey standing before a predator.

His entire body stiffened, unable to even move his feet.

“Huff, huff!”

Even his breathing became labored.

An existence he had only heard rumors about.

For Antonio, this was the first time he had encountered a monster that emitted such massive evil energy.

‘Can they really defeat something like that?’

The moment he thought that.

Whoosh!

Something red began to manifest from the Explosion Dragon Mage’s staff.

– Hyaaaaaaah!

With a cute battle cry.

Kuwaaaaaaaaaaaa!

A red dragon larger than any apartment building covered the sky.

At the same time.

Crack!

It opened its mouth.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The energy of the Pokryong Faction, condensed tens of thousands of times, struck down as a beam of light.

It was just one shot.

[Boss monster eliminated!]

That terrible creature.

Simply vanished without a trace.

It was so fast and anticlimactic that.

– Gruk…?

Even Doldoli, who had been furious, looked bewildered.

“Doldol.”

– Gruk?

“Still, Pokryong has experience. It can take down even Asmodeus in one shot, so why would it fight something like that for long? Right, Pokryong?”

– Hehe. Yes, Jin-woo.

Pleased by the praise, it stuck out its tongue and smiled.

Even when happy, our Pokryong is so well-behaved.

‘Cr-crazy.’

Antonio was now too tired to even be surprised.

The Explosive Dragon Mage.

He had been watching continuously, but it was just an absurd existence.

What kind of summoned creature like that exists in this world!

After burning through so many monsters until now, it still had that much power left?

‘Especially that dragon just now…’

It was on a completely different level from the power of Pokryong he had seen so far.

It seemed like it could send away anything in front of it with just one shot.

Honestly, it seemed a step above even Rachel’s S-rank summoned creature, the Golden Dragon’s Ascension Breath.

“Um…”

Finally, Antonio mustered up courage.

Words he hadn’t been able to say for fear of going overboard.

“Excuse me, Pokryong, could I possibly get your autograph?”

“…”

What.

A summoned creature’s autograph.

Baek Jin-woo looked bewildered, but.

– Yes, do you have paper?

Pokryong immediately responded.

Huh?

…You knew how to do that?

You?

Autographs?

When and where on earth did you learn that?

“I don’t have paper, but I have a pen here!”

Antonio pulled out a conductor’s baton from his pocket.

Since it was a high-quality baton, when he spun it around, a pen came out from below.

“You can do it on my clothes!”

– Okay.

Swish, scribble scribble!

Korean characters spelling [Pokryong] written large on his back.

Wow.

And it even looks quite impressive.

If there’s someone who would teach something like this…

– Hey, Antoniooo! Why are you only getting Pokryong’s autograph? Don’t you need mine?

Sigh.

It was you, Ramba.

“Ramba’s autograph would be great too! So great!”

Antonio had an unexpected windfall that day.

He might not know it now.

But wouldn’t that autograph hold tremendous value later?

Or maybe not.

After taking down the Soul Reaper, clearing monsters became even easier.

– Kiaaaaaaaa!

When the Ice Serpent roared, ice waves spread out radially with the roar.

Then?

The aggro of monsters within a certain range was drawn.

Like moths flying into fire, they approached as if enchanted without knowing it.

And they truly became moths.

Whoosh!

They melted away one by one in the flames Pokryong created.

Exactly 3 days like that.

They finished all their schedule.

“There are no dungeons left in Tomar now. It should be safe for a while.”

“Re-really… I never thought such a day would come. Such a day… Thank you! Thank you!”

Antonio bowed his head deeply.

– Kiruurururu!

Riding the wyvern again.

They returned to the hotel, but the other teams’ schedules weren’t finished yet.

When he opened the guild group chat to check, it seemed about 80-90% complete.

Baek Jin-woo didn’t bother helping them.

Especially since two teams seemed to have gotten into some kind of competition, where the losing team would serve the other for a week?

There was no need to tactlessly interfere when they were having fun.

“Good work everyone. Get some rest. Ramba, you can just eat all the remaining cream bread.”

– Hyaaaaaaah! Niiiiice!

Everyone settled in where they wanted.

Ramba lay on the sofa and started eating cream bread, while Hunkyo took Aso and went up to the rooftop.

Is there more to train?

Jakgeo and Dampir are always a pair.

Those two also sit on the rooftop and look at the night view.

And.

– Jin-woo.

Our MVP Pokryong approached and asked cautiously.

– Ji-woo said she wants to go around the city together. Would it be okay if I go?

“With Hwang Ji-woo?”

– Yes, she said to get ready and come out in an hour.

Hwang Ji-woo was in a different suite room.

Well, she must have had a hard time too, so she’d want to wash up and relieve some fatigue.

Since it would be boring to go alone, she probably called Pokryong, who’s now her best friend.

Pokryong also seemed comfortable with Hwang Ji-woo, who has a flame body.

“Sure, go ahead.”

If they stand out unnecessarily, the Portuguese citizens will come running in droves…

Well, that’s something.

Hwang Ji-woo will handle it well, right?

– Aren’t you going out, Jin-woo?

“No, I have something to look into.”

– I understand.

And.

Since I’m in a foreign land, I should also call my girlfriend so she doesn’t feel left out.

So she won’t be disappointed.

While I’m calling, there are things to find out too.

I talked with Yu Ji-a for about 30 minutes.

I asked how she was doing and heard about recent events.

My goodness.

Apparently, a tremendous number of support requests came in from various random countries.

Saying they’re having a hard time too, so please save them.

‘Sorry, but.’

I can’t save them all.

No matter how strong Baek Jin-woo is, how vast is the Earth that I’d go around alone handling all that?

It took nearly two weeks just to clean up one Portuguese city.

So.

I told the guild’s internal information team to find out.

Whether there are any countries with traces of S-rank dungeons.

Among those S-ranks, whether there are places with monsters carrying golden scythes.

[Defeat three Soul Reapers (S-rank)! (1/3)]

I caught one for now.

If I catch two more, Doldoli will also rise dramatically.

‘Probably.’

It’ll become stronger than during Battle of Summoners.

Just like how Predation became True Predation.

Potential ability unlocking through sudden quests seemed to produce skills with much better performance than during the game.

Let’s wait a bit.

Knock knock.

Hwang Ji-woo came.

– I’ll be back, Jin-woo!

“Alright.”

Pokryong went out excitedly.

Seeing that appearance… how should I put it.

It feels like raising a daughter.

Pokryong, Aso, and Ramba too.

I don’t know why they’ve become so cute lately.

And at that moment.

“Hmm.”

Yu Ji-a, who immediately began investigating, was able to secure countries surprisingly easily.

‘Egypt, and Libya.’

It was unexpected.

Libya, well, it was originally split east and west with frequent civil wars, so the government couldn’t function properly.

But Egypt is a large country with over 100 million people.

There should be quite a few Player Zones, but a dungeon break occurred?

And it’s near the border between the two countries.

It’s a troublesome situation for Egypt, which supports the east.

Swish.

Yu Ji-a organized the documents she had collected previously.

But.

‘Egypt is here?’

It was an official document sent from the Ministry of Interior of the Republic.

‘Jin-woo said he needs that monster.’

But no matter how I think about it.

Portugal is one thing, but helping Egypt for free is a bit much.

Still, I should get what I can get.

Grin.

The merchant’s blood inside Yu Ji-a began to boil.

The genetic power inherited from grandfather!

‘Shall I try expanding the game a bit?’
