I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 202
5th World League (2)
December 31st.
Dozens of helicopters float above Jamsil.
Roads have been blocked off, and countless crowds have gathered outside the restricted areas.
All citizens dressed in bright red devil outfits.
South Korea!
Citizens shouting!
– Greetings again after so long! Everyone! Right now you are witnessing the scene of the 5th World League unfolding here in Jamsil, the focus of the entire world! Joining us today is our special commentary team, commentator Lee Hun-seok. Hun-seok, today is quite a spectacular sight, isn’t it?
– That’s right, MC! As expected, the passion of our country’s fans is incredible. But it’s also natural! This 5th World League is expected to be an overwhelming victory for our country.
– Exactly. We’ll soon be able to witness with our own eyes the power of our SKY, including Baek Jin-woo. I’m really looking forward to it!
The commentary team was the same as before.
They did well killing time by briefly summarizing what had happened to Baek Jin-woo and the SKY members over the past year.
And then.
[Time is running short!]
[Players from each country, all 10 of you must enter the Player Zone in Seoul, Korea before the event begins!]
[Failure to enter within the time limit will result in automatic elimination!]
The format was the same as before.
Players from each country enter the Player Arena wearing unified outfits.
Naturally, the Korean National Team was already gathered inside the arena in advance.
Time passed, and soon when the match was about to begin.
Grin.
Advisor Hwang Ju-won smiled.
By the way, he was excluded from this competition.
For the sake of the newcomers?
The four excluded members were as follows.
Hwang Ju-won, An Gi-jeong, Kang Geon-ho, Hwang Ji-woo
They weren’t excluded due to lack of skill.
It’s actually the newcomers who are lacking.
However.
Hwang Ji-woo was excluded for being a one-trick ice user, and the other three stepped aside saying let the young blood run wild.
Instead, they entered wearing coach outfits.
“Now, our newcomers.”
Hwang Ju-won flashed his characteristically confident smile.
“I told you not to be nervous, right? Just having trained at SKY already makes you the world’s strongest, beyond South Korea.”
“”Yes, Advisor!””
The newcomers nodded with determined expressions.
“Your skills have already been proven.”
Hong Ari also chimed in.
“Today you can move a bit boldly. The one hour our guild master gave us. We need to make that our time.”
She had already declared war.
That they would see SKY’s true colors in the Battle Royal.
That there would be no cowardly alliances like before, so be careful.
Hong Ari, who had been patting each guild member’s shoulder in encouragement, stood before Baek Jin-woo.
“Guild master.”
“Yeah.”
“Just like I said before, please don’t do anything for exactly one hour.”
“Okay.”
With his refreshing agreement, the Battle Royal began.
[The first match is Battle Royal!]
This strategy is simple.
Everyone scatters recklessly and kills any player they see.
[Battle Royal is a survival game unfolding in a vast forest!]
[All 1,000 participating players will be randomly scattered throughout the forest!]
[The time limit is until 100 survivors remain!]
[Search your surroundings! Items perfect for facing strong players are hidden everywhere!]
Items?
Whether you eat them or use them, it’s your choice.
SKY’s ambition this time is to just finish off every player they see!
‘Hmm.’
Darkened vision.
The match had already begun.
Baek Jin-woo, hands in his pockets, slowly savored the message.
[Now, please register your summoned creatures!]
[Five summoned creatures! You’ll be eliminated the moment any of those summoned creatures are reverse-summoned!]
Five.
Who should I choose.
It’s already decided.
Doldoli.
And Aso.
I’ll just put in those two and nod my head.
[Please register three more summoned creatures!]
Damn.
What.
I can’t just bring two?
‘Then…’
Since I’ll be sitting still for an hour and might get bored, let me bring someone chatty.
‘First, I’ll add Ramba.’
Next.
Lately Mayeo, this one’s been quite talkative.
Though eerie, when you listen, there’s something charming and interesting about it.
Aso likes it too.
Swoosh.
I added Mayeo too.
Then who should be the last one?
Ah!
I almost forgot.
‘Sky Wyvern.’
Let’s go with you.
I embedded a Sprint (Rare) rune in you last time, and the flying experience is absolutely amazing.
All selected!
Done!
[Ah, right! You didn’t forget, did you? The player who records the most kills will receive a hidden reward!]
[The 1st place from the last league was Korea’s Baek Jin-woo!]
Mm.
Right.
‘That was me.’
Baek Jin-woo smacked his lips.
That?
Five Ultimate Summoning Scrolls.
And probably…
There was a high chance that Baek Jin-woo would take it again this time.
No matter how skilled the SKY Guild members were, this map was ridiculously vast.
“Hoo.”
Baek Jin-woo let out a short breath.
Let’s wait a little longer.
[All players have completed summoned creature registration!]
[The game will begin in 10 seconds!]
[We wish all players good luck!]
“Fighting!”
“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go go go go!”
“SKY fighting!”
The members’ voices echoed in his ears.
Pababababat!
With explosive sounds from all directions, his body disappeared into the air.
A Battle Royal again after a year.
Unlike back then, there was no tension at all.
Baek Jin-woo, who had landed in a random location in the center of the forest, sat down right where he was.
At the same time, he summoned his creatures.
– Kiruurururu!
One wyvern.
And.
– Mayeo is here, meow!
Mayeo.
– Be quiet.
And Aso, who was scolding that Mayeo.
– Huhuk, so sad, meow!
Then.
– As expected, our Jin-woo! Thank you for choosing me!
– Kruk…
It was Ramba and Doldoli.
Whingwhingwhingwhing!
As soon as they started, Ramba began frantically stacking buffs on Aso and Doldoli.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t eat cream bread.
Unlike towers or dungeons, food wasn’t allowed in the arena.
“Heup.”
Baek Jin-woo slightly lifted his bottom and moved to a nearby rock.
Then he comfortably leaned his back against it.
“Nice.”
Though it was inside the arena, the sensations felt real.
The fresh forest air entered his nose refreshingly.
“Aso.”
– Yes, Father.
“Keep track of time for me. Exactly one hour.”
– Got it.
Aso smiled and sat down in a cross-legged position.
Isn’t keeping time cruel treatment?
No need to worry.
Aso doesn’t actually count time.
Yet he’s such a perceptive and extraordinary genius that he can tell exactly how many minutes and seconds have passed.
And.
– Master, master!
Mayeo approached as if she had been waiting.
“Yeah?”
– You made an excellent choice, meow! From now on, all the players and summoned creatures participating here! I’m ready to crush them all, meow!
“…Huh?”
– First, I’ll draw a soul binding spell ritual on the ground, then create strange illusions before the summoned creatures’ eyes, meow! It’s a process of forcibly engraving fear by stimulating each one’s trauma, hehehe, the aftereffects will be severe even after the match ends, meow. For those who dare challenge master, I’m preparing a very proper gift…
Pueoeoook!
– Kiyaong!
– Mayeo, I said be quiet.
– So unfair, meow!
“…Aso.”
– Yes, Father.
“Good job. Very good job.”
But suddenly I became curious.
Can she really do that?
If so, she’s a truly terrifying summoned creature…
If Pokryong felt like a mage who settled things with pure damage, Mayeo seemed to have some utility.
“Mayeo.”
– You called, meow!
“Can you perhaps… um, determine the truth of lies, find hidden people, or… curse someone far away… can you do things like that?”
I was just testing the waters.
But.
– Why are you asking about something so obvious, meow!
“Huh?”
– Those are the most basic abilities any witch must be able to do, meow. Instead of such things, how about spreading a plague of pain throughout an entire city, or a curse that reduces half the continent’s population, meow! Or, though it requires many sacrifices, there’s also a curse that slowly suffocates and kills beings who don’t serve our master, meow!
“That’s enough.”
Let’s stop talking.
But it was fascinating.
Wouldn’t this make her a super, super, super upgraded version of the Mind Reading Squad?
Just as I was chatting with Mayeo.
Swish!
The grass parted and someone appeared.
Looking at the player’s outfit, they seemed to be from Thailand.
“Ai hia!(ไอ้เหี้ย!)”
Swish.
They looked back and were startled to see Aso and Doldoli.
“Uh, uaaaah!”
And ran away.
– That impious fool! He just used disrespectful language toward master, meow!
“What did he say?”
– It was profanity, meow! In master’s country’s terms, it would be like saying ‘damn!’, meow! This witch cannot tolerate it, meow!
“Just bear with it…”
That’s not even a real curse.
He just said it because he was startled.
Of course he’d be surprised.
In this vast space, he happened to encounter me – it would be strange if he wasn’t surprised.
“Aso.”
– Yes, Father.
“How much time has passed?”
– 42 minutes 31 seconds!
That’s amazing.
He just smiles comfortably and answers immediately.
There’s no point in learning martial arts together with someone like that and comparing achievements.
‘I wonder how things are going?’
Probably, as promised, the old Five Emperors won’t make a move.
With the whole world watching the broadcast, if they break their promise.
They absolutely can’t handle the consequences.
Baek Jin-woo holds grudges very strongly.
“Anyway, Aso.”
– Yeah!
“Shall we start warming up a bit?”
– Good!
I’ll show them soon.
To the people of this world.
Just how powerful our Aso is.
In the old days, if our country bought broadcasting rights from England?
Now countries all over the world buy broadcasting rights from our country.
Tremendous national wealth creation!
Also, since Korea is the league champion, we can freely set which scenes to broadcast on the main screen.
– Hahaha, Baek Jin-woo is still resting!
– Thailand’s Chuprang Arikun just met Baek Jin-woo?!
– He ran away as soon as he saw him. Amazing reflexes.
– Everyone, even though Arikun might look like just another ranker, he’s actually a big shot ranked 94th in the world.
A big shot running away in surprise after seeing Baek Jin-woo.
“Waaaaaaah!”
“Hahahahahaha!”
Cheers and laughter erupted from the streets.
It’s entertaining.
There’s a thrill from the very situation of our country leading the league.
– By the way, our country’s national team’s skills are incredible.
– It’s literally unstoppable!
– This is insane! Look at Hong Ari! One Jujak and two Phoenix! Everything she passes through burns up and only ashes remain!
– What about Gi Jae-hyeok! Look at that goblin army! That summoned creature called Grimrock that he got this time – other rankers can’t even compete!
– I notice Song Yeon-hee. She’s directly controlling each of those dolls herself, right?
– That’s correct.
– Whew, how much practice would it take to achieve something like that?
– This 2nd generation is no joke either!
– That’s right!
Han Yu-na handles the phantom fox, Mirage (A-rank) and elves.
Elf archer Luna (B-rank) and elf assassin Spark (B-rank).
When she passes by?
Summoned creatures get reverse-summoned without knowing why.
What about Seo I-yun.
– Kraaaaaaang!
When the golden lion Terion (A-rank) she obtained this time roars and charges?
Swish!
The vampire lord, Vargas (A-rank) absorbs all the opponent’s health from behind.
What about Jeong Si-woo?
He skillfully deploys the summoned creatures he originally used according to the data.
And.
– Graaaaaaah!
Kang Dae-hyeok’s magma giant (A-rank) was incredible too.
Kwaaaaang!
When the giant powerfully strikes the ground, lava erupts from the earth along with massive flames.
[South Korea, Kang Dae-hyeok 5 kills!]
[South Korea, Kang Dae-hyeok 6 kills!]
Kill logs pop up like crazy.
Just as everyone was performing their own feats.
– Oh, ohhh!
– Right now! South Korea’s Hong Ari and England’s Olivia’s paths have crossed!
– They’ll meet soon!
50 minutes into the match!
With 10 minutes left before Baek Jin-woo’s declaration, things were finally heading toward the situation Hong Ari had wanted.
