I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 201

5th World League (1)

South Korea’s assault team construction complete!

The news broke and spread rapidly.

[As expected from the nation with Baek Jin-woo! All SKY Guild members clear the 50th Floor of the Tower of Trials!]

[SKY has shown it! The class of the world’s greatest group! The most assault team members produced!]

[Gamblers! 5th World League victory probability over 90%!]

[Current assault team members number 41, is this the end?]

[7 months until world destruction, shouldn’t we challenge the tower quickly? Voices of concern.]

Excitement and worry were mixed together.

The league is good and all.

But quickly conquer the 70th Floor of the Tower of Trials too!

We’re too anxious to live!

I understand well why people are worried.

The Tower of Trials emergency patch notice that Rachel confirmed!

If we can’t conquer the 70th floor during the remaining time, humanity’s destruction is confirmed.

In some ways, a more spine-chilling word than ‘war’ – ‘apocalypse’.

But, it can’t be helped.

We need to squeeze out everything we can until the very end in the World League to increase our success probability.

‘Instead.’

This 5th World League will end somewhat quickly.

The Battle Royal that unfolds before the round of 16.

I’m going to show something really amazing there.

Hmm.

Baek Jin-woo entered the dungeon.

His head had been aching from the start.

– Kehit! Kehihit! Nyaong!

What kind of cat smiles gloomily like a witch…

The magic it uses is also incredibly gloomy.

Swaaaa!

It covered the entire space, then the orcs that had died earlier came back to life.

It’s necromancy that makes corpses rise as they are.

– Chweoeok! Chweoeoeok!

Shambling and staggering, the guys who became allies beat down the living orcs.

Is that all?

The curse of decay that gradually makes targets rot!

The vampiric touch that absorbs the opponent’s life force and turns them into mummies!

– Kiaaaaaaa!

Ghost chains that make even souls suffer!

‘No, anyone watching would think I’m raising a demon spawn.’

Was it like this in the old days too?

It seems like it was…

But back then it was viewed through a phone screen, so it wasn’t this disturbing.

“Mayeo.”

Finally, Baek Jin-woo, who couldn’t stand watching anymore, said something.

“Don’t you have other magic? Like Power Word Kill or Tempest Oblivion.”

Honestly, since it was called magic, I thought of the Great Wizard.

But Mayeo seemed very hurt in her pride by those words.

– Myaoong! Master!

“Huh?”

– Magic, I tell you! Not all magic used by mages is the same!

“…”

– Listing formulas from books, waving staffs, and reciting a few incantations – you call that magic? This witch cannot acknowledge it!

No.

…You’re not a witch.

You’re a cat, I’m telling you?

– True magic isn’t such superficial technique, but the power to penetrate nature’s order and shake the world’s balance in my hands! Hihihit! Hatred, despair, sacrifice, pain, darkness…! These are the true essence of real magic!

This one seems really dangerous.

Still, well.

Should I be thankful it’s not asking me to build a human experimentation lab or something?

For now.

The magic effects were killer though.

Using the infinite MP, it fires randomly…

Even at level 1 without proper runes equipped, A-rank dungeons are easily cleared.

The problem is…

– Transform!

A Blood Orc would turn into a small frog.

– I shall grant you eternal life! Try enjoying immortality until your mind is destroyed!

Some orcs were granted infinite life.

Of course.

With their necks severed.

– Chweik, chweik!

Only their mouths were gaping open.

“Phew.”

I was seriously troubled.

Mayeo.

Am I raising this one properly?

It feels like my mind might go strange.

– Father!

Aso, who was watching from the side, poked my ribs.

– Uncomfortable to watch?

“Uh… Why?”

– I can make her come to her senses.

“You can?”

– Yeah, watch carefully.

Swish.

She picked up her wooden sword.

She looked at Mayeo and smiled brightly.

– Mayeo.

– Hieek, hiccup!

Why is that?

Suddenly hiccupping.

– So Father won’t be uncomfortable, use only normal magic.

– Th-this is normal…!

– Hm?

When Aso’s eyes flashed.

Gulp!

Mayeo swallowed and nodded her head.

Then.

Whiiiing!

A whirlwind tore through the approaching orcs.

Swoooosh!

Small fireballs flew out and exploded the orcs with a bang!

It felt a bit more like magic than before.

Though the power was somewhat reduced.

– Yeah, that’s normal.

– …I cannot accept this, meow.

As Mayeo became dejected.

– Then just use abnormal skills!

Aso put both hands on her hips and scolded.

– Fine, I understand, meow! But… If master falls into danger, then this witch will have no choice, meow. Hehehe!

Mayeo laughed softly and slowly extended her claws.

– Then I’ll have no choice but to turn this world to ash, meow! The sky will simply lose its light and be consumed by darkness, and the earth will disappear shattered to pieces, meow! Blood will become rain and dye the world red, and all life will wither away…

Thwack!

Finally, Aso’s wooden sword struck Mayeo’s head.

Very hard at that.

– Kyaong!

…I don’t know anymore.

Whether this is cute or not.

Time passed.

When exactly one week remained.

[Ding!]

[This is a 1-week warning alarm for the World League!]

[10 Players from each country must enter the Player Zone in Seoul, Korea before the event begins!]

[Failure to enter within the time limit will result in automatic disqualification!]

A message appeared in the view of people worldwide.

After always being held in London, England.

This was the first time in Seoul!

[The Day of Peace has arrived for 1 month from this moment!]

[Players cannot use summoned creatures for combat purposes outside!]

The Day of Peace had also arrived.

Intelligence agents from various countries were also heavily armed in preparation for terrorism on this day.

The United States, England, and South Korea collaborated to monitor the entire world.

But.

There were none now.

No terrorist groups bold enough to mess with Baek Jin-woo.

In Baek Jin-woo’s case especially, wasn’t his physical ability already evaluated as beyond human!

Moreover.

There probably weren’t any items that could remove the protective barrier anyway.

Those are extremely rare.

As a result, league preparations went smoothly too.

Mayeo’s graduation rune was also easily obtained.

Soul Destruction (Unique).

Now Mayeo’s terrible curse effect would be 10 times stronger.

Of course, rune leveling was done, and polish was carefully applied.

Also.

True Apostle’s Stigma

What I received from the Tower of Trials was also imprinted on Mayeo.

Now additional damage against dark attribute summoned creatures or demons would increase by 20%.

‘But well.’

I wouldn’t need to use Mayeo in this World League.

I’d only use Doldoli.

‘Just once.’

I changed the plan.

I decided to try using Aso in the Battle Royal.

Main Training Ground.

“Whew, whew! Training’s over!”

Hong Ari’s closing comment flowed out.

The past 3 weeks could be described as historically intense training.

“Haaaaah!”

“Hah, hah, hah!”

Everyone sprawled out in a big X shape, gasping for breath.

Physical conditioning, control training, strength exercises, control training in endless repetition.

There was no time for mental rest either.

They had to eat quickly, and everyone slept together in dormitory style.

At least for sleep!

I made sure they got a full 8 hours of sleep.

– Sleep is important. From now on, anyone who doesn’t sleep will be made to sleep on top of Geomdan Mountain, so go to bed within 10 minutes.

Of course, since sleep was also training, Hunkyo intervened.

For the past 3 weeks, Hunkyo also left Aso alone and invested all his time for the guild members.

It was because he saw the passion and will of Hong Ari and the guild members.

As a result.

“This should be enough.”

A satisfied voice flowed from Hong Ari’s mouth.

“We can’t lose, and even if we do, we won’t feel wronged.”

All summoned creatures’ potential abilities had been unlocked.

Their control was also on a different dimension than before.

Even if the old Five Emperors came, we could compete with them.

“Everyone worked hard, and now let’s rest until the World League.”

There was nothing left to prepare.

The rankers from England, America, and Japan who would be our main opponents.

I had completely memorized their weaknesses and main summoned creatures in my head.

“Phew.”

“Everyone worked hard!”

“Let’s try to take the championship among ourselves!”

“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s gooooo!”

SKY.

National Team.

Ready to compete!

The world was in an uproar.

Baek Jin-woo, mentioned as the main figure and top candidate for the 5th World League championship!

Everyone’s attention was focused on him.

He showed the steepest growth among players, and now he was even humanity’s savior.

Moreover, he gained even more popularity recently due to the 3-part documentary 【Demon Realm Conquest】.

Now they knew.

Why Rachel was such an enthusiastic fan of his.

Why she was completely devoted to him and yielded everything to him.

And.

Why all the others were Emperors , but only Baek Jin-woo was Heaven .

Netizen interest exploded, and articles with the three characters “Baek Jin-woo” were like cheat codes.

Whenever Baek Jin-woo appeared, the view count shot through the sky.

Especially.

[Baek Jin-woo! Declares Official Participation Criteria for This Battle Royal!]

An article with this content appeared, and the content was spectacular.

With sharp tension building at the scene ahead of the World League, Baek Jin-woo’s declaration has become a hot topic. South Korea’s Baek Jin-woo has named three players as his criteria for moving in the Battle Royal.

England’s Rachel Rose, America’s William Jenos, and Japan’s Yoshida Hikaru.

Baek Jin-woo said he plans to maintain his position as long as these three remain still, but if even one of them moves or if an hour passes, he will actively participate. In particular, he expressed strong confidence and determination that the Battle Royal could end immediately once he participates.

In some ways, an arrogant declaration!

But the public’s opinion was generally refreshing and that it was natural.

└ Wow

└ hahahahahahaha

└ Amazing

└ Only Baek Jin-woo can say something like this

└ The Three Emperors, you shall not move!

└ Is that really what was said in the interview? lol that’s crazy lol but it feels satisfying

└ With this, they really can’t move, can they?

└ Well, if Baek Jin-woo moves, that would be an incident too.

What kind of incident?

An incident where he sweeps everyone away in an instant by himself, preventing America, England, and Japan from making it to the round of 16.

Rather than that happening, it’s better to comply with Baek Jin-woo’s demands.

The reactions came immediately.

[England’s Red Rose, “Grateful for the consideration.”]

[Jenos’ shocking declaration! “I’ll lie spread-eagle as soon as the match starts.”]

[Japan’s Yoshida Hikaru goes one step further, “I won’t even breathe.”]

└ Ugh hahahahaha

└ Thanks for the consideration lol

└ I don’t know about other things, but calling that consideration is really funny

└ But it is considerate though, yeah.

└ Right lol From Baek Jinwoo’s perspective, just bringing out the Flame Dragon would probably burn everything down.

└ lololol Is Hikaru only funny to me? He says he’s not even breathing ㅠㅠ

└ Hey, if you don’t breathe, you’ll die!

└ My heart swells with pride! To think Baek Jin-woo is a citizen of our country!

It’s actually a kind of show.

Baek Jin-woo, Rachel, Jenos, and Hikaru had already coordinated their words in a group chat.

However.

These are statements to add fun to the league for humanity exhausted by the terror of the apocalypse.

The actual conversation content is like this.

[Baek Jin-woo: This time our kids want to fight with their own strength]

[Rachel: Really? Aren’t we doing mutual non-aggression through blood alliance like last time?]

[Baek Jin-woo: No no, this time it seems good to fight without alliances. We’ll make it to the round of 16 anyway, right?]

[Rachel: Okay]

[Jenos: Confirmed]

[Sugoi: Japan confirms too!]

[Rachel: Then what about you, Baek Jin-woo? Will you participate? If you participate, honestly it’s game-breaking.]

[Baek Jin-woo: I was originally planning to only bully you guys…]

[Rachel: Oh, shit?]

[Jenos: Please.]

[Sugoi: Seriously yamete…]

[Baek Jin-woo: Well, on the condition that you don’t move, I can stay still for an hour.]

[Rachel: Okay]

[Jenos: That’s good.]

[Sugoi: Nice!]

These messages were formalized and released like that!

Anyway.

The winds of the 5th World League were blowing again.
