I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 196

Windless Trace (4)

The Flannan Isles are located in the remote northwestern waters of Scotland.

A place quite far from the mainland, making it difficult to access.

First, I met Rachel in the cultural city of Glasgow.

– Kiiiiiiiii!

She too had flown over riding a Sky Wyvern.

We briefly landed on a building rooftop and exchanged greetings while catching up.

Rachel’s expression was bright.

It seemed that with some time having passed, the sadness from losing guild members had faded.

– Owww, Rachel!

Ramba greeted her first.

– Long time no see! How have you been lately! Are you doing well?

“Hehe, nice to see you, Ramba.”

– You remember to give us any A-grade selection tickets that come out, right?

“Of course. Olivia hasn’t forgotten. We remember too.”

– Good! Deals should be clean!

Hehe.

Ramba, this guy.

He’s even trying to take care of such detailed things.

“Anyway, thanks, Rachel. For agreeing to help.”

Baek Jin-woo also greeted her.

Rachel smiled.

“Hey, what are you saying. Of course I should help. How about you guys? Are you climbing the Tower of Trials well?”

“We haven’t yet.”

“Huh?”

Rachel was surprised.

“There’s only about 4 months left…? Will you be able to join the assault team?”

“The 50th floor, well. If you have the skills, one month is enough.”

“Wow.”

As expected.

Rachel suddenly thought she envied the SKY Guild members.

During the Battle of Summoners era, wasn’t the disciple position under Jinugod the very spot that even the Five Emperors couldn’t reach despite their earnest requests?

“First, get on and follow me. We need to head toward Sky Island first.”

“Okay.”

Baek Jin-woo and Rachel each boarded their Sky Wyverns.

– Kiruurururu!

– Kiiiiiiiii!

Crying out, they took flight.

A small fishing village on Sky Island.

Even from here, hardly anyone visits except local fishermen.

A quiet and eerie atmosphere.

Going further in?

The Flannan Isles appear.

Uninhabited islands that few visit even normally.

Swooosh!

Slightly dark fog covered the sea, and several lighthouses could be seen dimly.

We continued flying.

Past the lighthouses, we went deep into the Atlantic Ocean.

And after several more hours passed.

Rocky reefs slightly protruding between the rough waters revealed themselves.

On top of them.

– Kiruruk!

The wyverns landed and panted heavily.

“Good work.”

I reverse-summoned the guys.

“This is it.”

Rachel smiled brightly and looked around in all directions.

Not a single piece of land was visible.

360 degrees ahead was nothing but horizon.

“I just need to leave the Great Wizard and Aso here and go back, right?”

“Yeah.”

“By the way, if I use 9th Circle magic, I can’t summon the Great Wizard for a month.”

“…That’s the penalty?”

“Yep.”

It was the same back then.

The Power Word Kill I used on Doldoli in the league.

Although I lost because my neck was cut with a 0.1 second difference, I couldn’t summon the Great Wizard for a month as a penalty.

That’s why climbing the Tower of Trials was delayed too.

“This makes me even more grateful.”

“It’s fine. As I keep saying, you’re humanity’s future, right? I must help with anything that makes you stronger. However.”

“Yeah.”

“If you’re going to learn, you need to learn properly this time.”

“I suppose so.”

Since I won’t be able to summon him for a month.

“Aso.”

– Yes, Father!

“Can you do it well?”

– I can just feel it. Regular wind won’t work. It needs to be a gale strong enough to shake this entire sea.

“But wouldn’t that be a bit dangerous?”

Tempest Oblivion.

The whirlpool will be quite strong.

There will be tsunamis too.

“Don’t worry about that.”

Rachel laughed.

“After all, it’s our country, would I let it get dangerous? I can use it to affect only a specific range. Just use it over the water. It’s 9th Circle magic anyway, right?”

Glance.

When Rachel looked at the Great Wizard.

Nod.

The white-haired old man nodded.

It’s possible.

If a 9th Circle mage says it’s possible, then it is.

“Okay.”

Then we’ll go back.

Aso.

Please make sure to learn it this time.

Windless Trace!

Above the sea.

There are only two on the rocky reef.

The Great Wizard (S-grade).

And Aso (EX-grade).

– You can start.

When Aso spoke, the Great Wizard nodded.

Unfortunately, the Great Wizard cannot speak.

Rachel speculated that only S-grade awakened and above seemed able to speak.

At least Eila can speak.

Anyway.

Swoosh.

The Great Wizard slowly raised his staff.

Blue light bloomed from its tip, gradually enveloping the air.

Wooooooong!

A massive magic circle formed in the sky above.

Shriek, shrieeeek!

The flow of wind gradually intensified, and soon massive air currents began erupting explosively.

Great Wizard.

9 Circles.

Tempest Oblivion.

Now it had begun.

The power of nature erupted explosively, and the wind began to move.

The air became sharp blades.

Thousands, tens of thousands of violent whirlwinds covered the space.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaa!

– Uaaaaaaah.

Aso gritted her teeth.

She closed her eyes in the fierce wind and tried to feel the flow of wind with her entire body.

‘Nature’s fury.’

That tremendous storm was trying to tear her body apart.

But?

She couldn’t be reverse-summoned here.

‘I can’t be torn apart.’

The moment she was torn apart, what meaning would enlightenment have?

Then?

‘I need to become the wind.’

If she herself became the wind, there would be no reason to be torn apart by the gale.

That was the essence of Wind Transformation Without Trace.

‘I become the center.’

She couldn’t waver even in this impossible wind.

Swoosh.

Aso began walking on the sea.

Surprise mixed into the expression of the Great Wizard, who had been pouring brilliant light from his eyes.

She’s not only enduring that but even moving?

This.

She had to be considered as already entering the threshold of enlightenment.

Without becoming the wind itself, one couldn’t endure this magic.

Kwaaaaaaaaa!

The world shook, but Aso’s steps were serene.

30 minutes passed.

The duration of Tempest Oblivion.

Whiiiiing!

The madly raging wind began to gradually subside.

The price of the magic ending.

Swoosh!

The Great Wizard was reverse-summoned just like that.

Now he wouldn’t be able to come out for a month as penalty.

And.

Step, step.

The steps of Aso, who survived that gale, were mystical.

She stepped on empty air, and footprints were carved in the void before disappearing.

They weren’t simple footsteps.

Footprints containing the will that wouldn’t waver in nature’s wind.

This was precisely the realm of Wind Transformation Without Trace 1-star.

– …Haah, I did it.

Aso took a deep breath and smiled.

Her eyes told the story.

How happy she was.

It was a martial art so difficult that even the genius Aso had trouble grasping it.

Treading on Air?

Walking on Void?

Before this Wind Transformation Without Trace, they couldn’t even present their business cards.

Even Walking on Void, which could be called a supreme martial art, was merely walking on emptiness, but this was a technique of becoming the wind itself.

– This is really ridiculous.

She knew because she had learned other martial arts.

How absurd this current realm was.

This was a supernatural domain beyond martial arts.

But the more frightening point?

– This is 1-star?

What about 2-star?

What about mastery?

Then what would happen?

Back on Sky Island, Baek Jin-woo was waiting.

He was clasping his hands together in prayer when.

“Oh.”

Rachel spoke first.

“The Great Wizard… was reverse-summoned.”

“Really?”

Baek Jin-woo shot up from his seat.

Then what about Aso?

What happened?

He quickly opened the Quest window.

[Learn three of Wuji Immortal’s techniques to 1-star! (2/3)]

“What?!”

She learned it!

What was originally 1/3 had changed to 2/3!

That means?

– Why why why, did Aso succeed?

– Master, what happened!

– Gwoooooo…?

– Kruk!

The waiting summons were also in an uproar.

Because they knew how desperately their master had longed for this through their journey.

“Yes, Aso did it.”

What a remarkable kid.

– Huh, really?

Hunkyo was genuinely amazed.

Clap clap clap!

Pokryong and Dampir sat side by side and clapped their hands.

– Really? Kyaaaah! Raise a toast!

Ramba flew around in circles above Jakgeo.

Thump, thump, thump, thump!

Jakgeo threw punches with his rock hands.

Everyone was rejoicing with one heart and mind.

– Jin-woo! What are you doing! Quickly resummon our Aso! Tell her to come over here!

“Right.”

Thud.

As Baek Jin-woo stamped his foot on the ground.

Swoosh!

Aso appeared above in the sky.

– Father!

She flew over with a bright smile.

That way of walking…

This is really insane.

The kid is really kicking off the air and running over?

Does that even make sense?

– I did it!

Swoosh!

The kid who flew through the air and threw herself into Baek Jin-woo’s arms.

“Yes, yes. Well done.”

Baek Jin-woo lifted her up in his arms.

Really, our Aso might be able to reach the realm of the Wuji Immortal.

Now that I’ve confirmed she can learn her first skill, she’ll probably be able to learn others with effort too.

Let me take a look at her status window.

[Summon: Aso]

[Race: Human]

[Grade: EX-Grade (Isolation Judgment)]

– Isolated due to balance-breaking elements discovered in specific situations.

[Level: 59]

[Stats]

Strength: 1,440, Intelligence: 1,440, Stamina: 1,440, Agility: 1,440

HP: 56,800, MP: 35,800

Critical Hit Rate: 100%

Critical Hit Damage: 460%

[Skills]

– Geoncheongsimgong: Wuji Immortal’s Breathing Technique (3-star)

– Myeolse: Pacheon Singong 1st Form (6-star)

– Thousand Sword Dance: Pacheon Singong 2nd Form (6-star)

– Heavenly Light Slash: Pacheon Singong 3rd Form (6-star)

– Heavenly Sword Control: Pacheon Singong 4th Form (2-star)

– Heavenly Sword: Pacheon Singong 5th Form (2-star)

– Wind Traceless: One of the Bigi of Cheongcheon Movement Technique (1-star)

‘Wow.’

As expected.

Befitting someone wearing the Trinity Rune, her stats were evenly raised, and though the skill descriptions were simple, they had mastery levels attached.

And.

‘Wind Traceless 1-star.’

It’s there.

One of those ridiculous martial arts that would still be far off for Baek Jin-woo.

‘Definitely amazing.’

What would it feel like later when all the skills the Wuji Immortal knows reach mastery?

Wouldn’t she really be superior to Pokryong then?

– …Amazing, Master.

“Right.”

– Among all the knowledge I know, this is the strongest movement technique. No matter how well you wield a sword, it’s not easy to cut through wind that’s determined to move.

Shing!

Hunkyo drew his sword and lightly thrust it toward Aso.

However.

Swoosh!

She lightly dodged with wind-like footsteps.

Her evasion was as natural as flowing water.

– Heh! Now Hunkyo can’t touch me!

– …You were already untouchable before.

– But Hunkyo is still a good teacher!

– …Thank you.

The summons chattering playfully.

Rachel looked at them with envious eyes.

She had felt it inside the Tower too, but Baek Jin-woo’s summons had something…

A naturalness to them.

“It went well, right?”

“Yeah, thanks to you.”

But.

Actually, she needs to learn one more thing.

To clear the sudden quest.

‘What else does she need to learn?’

Well.

Won’t Hunkyo judge that himself?

For now.

The month-long journey ends here!

Let’s go back!
