I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 203

5th World League (3)

“Sis!”

“Over there, it’s the Red Rose emblem!”

“Oh my, seeing the lightning sparks, it’s Neujo! It’s Olivia!”

“Sharf and Deng are behind her too!”

Hmm.

Hong Ari’s eyes lit up.

‘Finally.’

We’ve met!

Red Rose!

‘Three of them have already gathered?’

And all three are skilled players.

Olivia is world ranking 7th, Sharf is 11th, and Deng is 12th.

They probably heard that SKY was targeting them and banded together in advance.

Though it’s a randomly dropped Battle Royal, there are countless ways to meet up and join forces in the middle.

‘Three on their side.’

Three on our side too.

‘Me, Jaehyeok, and Ji-ho.’

Just looking at rankings, we’re clearly outmatched.

I’m world ranking 28th, Gi Jae-hyeok is 35th, and Kang Ji-ho is 40th.

‘But.’

Rankings are just numbers.

They’re just last year’s level scored by the system!

With our current strength, we can definitely handle them.

“Everyone, deploy!”

“Yes!”

“Yes, sis!”

Gi Jae-hyeok’s goblins began surrounding the enemy while occupying the forest.

Kang Ji-ho’s Gwangma (A-grade) raised its sword.

And.

“Ari Hong!”

Olivia, keeping her distance, called out to her with a growl.

“I heard you declared war on us this time? Just because you’re from Jinugod’s guild doesn’t mean we’ll go easy on you.”

Hmph.

Hong Ari snorted.

“Go easy? You should fight seriously if you don’t want to regret it.”

“Confidence, that’s good.”

“Let’s stop the talk here.”

Hong Ari looked at the watch on her wrist.

“There are only 10 minutes left now.”

“…”

Olivia clamped her mouth shut.

She acknowledged it.

The time when Baek Jin-woo declared he would start moving in earnest.

If he moved properly, they might be eliminated before even getting to fight.

Pazzzuk!

Olivia deployed her Neujo (S-grade) and three Arbitrators (A-grade).

Confirming that movement, Hong Ari also deployed her Jujak (S-grade) and two Phoenix (A-grade).

A battle of lightning and fire!

‘The grades are the same anyway. The runes are similar too. It should be close.’

Hong Ari took a deep breath.

What matters is control…

Now it’s time to prove it.

‘Why SKY is the world’s best.’

I’ll show this world.

That we’re a group capable of handling players below Rachel’s level, even against Red Rose!

Pazzzzzuk!

Electric current sparked and crackled from the claws of the charging Neujo and the sword tips of the Arbitrators.

‘Indeed.’

Even without fighting, I can clearly tell.

They’re much stronger than what they showed in the previous 4th World League.

Just as we trained, they trained desperately too.

Kwagagagaga!

Joel and Deng’s summoned creatures also joined the attack.

If it were a year ago.

We would have been helplessly beaten.

But…

‘Hmm.’

Hong Ari unconsciously frowned.

They’re definitely strong.

The sight before her eyes was a spine-chilling display of sharp lightning.

Yet she felt no sense of crisis whatsoever.

It can’t be helped.

‘Hunkyo’s swordsmanship that I see every day.’

This was much slower and weaker than that.

– Kiruruurururu!

Jujak pounced on the charging Neujo, and Phoenix’s flames blocked the Arbitrators.

Joel and Deng’s summoned creatures?

“Go, Gwangma!”

They’re easily torn apart by Gwangma and the Goblin Master’s weapons.

“Th-this!”

“What kind of power…!”

The British National Team began to panic.

“Gasp!”

Even Olivia, who was watching, widened her eyes.

Looking at her, Hong Ari quietly murmured.

“…Didn’t you say you wouldn’t go easy?”

“You little…?”

“Show me some skills worthy of world ranking 7th.”

Otherwise.

After this league ends, we might have to take that position.

“Hyaaaaat!”

As Olivia let out a battle cry.

– Kroooooooo!

Neujo also roared.

The space darkened.

Thunder and lightning struck down across a wide area.

‘Thunder Storm.’

Hong Ari grinned.

It’s Neujo’s area skill, but our Jujak can neutralize it sufficiently.

Red Sky’s Wrath !

The dark sky turned red again, and instead of thunder and lightning, a rain of flames began to fall.

Jujak’s area skill!

This was truly a battle befitting S-grade summoned creatures.

“What to do.”

Without Thunder Storm, Neujo can’t even use its ultimate skill ‘Storm Flight’.

Was it a secret technique that grants 10 seconds of invincibility?

On the other hand.

Jujak is different.

Fire Judgment !

Consuming half its MP, a massive fireball launched to completely annihilate a single target came crashing down toward Neujo.

Olivia tried to control it, thinking she could just avoid getting hit.

Whoooosh!

With Jujak’s wing flaps, the growing flames persistently pursued Neujo.

‘Th-this!’

Olivia was shocked.

Something was different.

It wasn’t just strong, but felt like it was reading moves accurately and then launching predictive skills!

It felt like being one step above in combat.

– Wooooooooah!

– Am-amazing!

At that moment.

The entire world was watching that scene on the broadcast screen.

– This is a rare sight! Three SKY members and three Red Rose members are having an intense battle without their Guild Masters!

– Naturally, in terms of individual power alone, SKY should be at a disadvantage. They’re clearly behind in ranking order!

– But the battle situation isn’t like that! Hong Ari! South Korea’s Hong Ari is currently overwhelming Olivia!

– What is happening!

– Even Joel and Deng can’t keep up!

– Indeed, the former leaders of Carpe Diem! The combo of Kang Ji-ho and Gi Jae-hyeok is incredible! The mad demon and goblins seem to be breathing with life!

Honestly, everyone was feeling it little by little.

That a generational change was gradually happening.

But?

No one knew they would feel it so directly and intensely like this.

Jamsil Station.

Citizens wearing red shirts erupted in cheers.

They roared powerfully while watching the screen.

“Waaaaaaah!”

“Hong Ari! Hong Ari! Hong Ari!”

Real-time communities were also in chaos.

[Jujak devouring Neujo gif.jpg]

└ Haha lololololol

└ Where does a grouse think it can challenge a phoenix lol

└ Right, even if they’re the same grade, Neujo literally translates to lightning bird, but Jujak is a divine beast.

└ Ju~jak! Jujak! Ju~jak! Jujak!

└ Counter or whatever, the movements are just different.

└ Feels like Jujak would win even without using skills?

They were showing the nation the blood, sweat, and tears from being trained by Hunkyo every month.

Just Hong Ari?

No.

Gi Jae-hyeok and Kang Ji-ho too.

[Mad demon slicing through Joel Deng’s summoned creatures with a triple strike.jpg]

[Goblin master and the goblin legion following him.jpg]

└ Really cool. Was he showering in blood?

└ For real, who would’ve thought they’d have such good chemistry with goblins.

└ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 35th place crushing the 11th ranked player in the world!

└ Wow

└ Is this SKY’s prestige?

└ Seo Go-yeon’s mysterious victory

└ What Seo Go-yeon! It’s Seo-yeon-go!

└ Take the university fight somewhere else.

It was truly a festival scene.

Everyone was excitedly chatting and downing a bowl of national pride.

On top of that.

[Baek Jin-woo calmly sleeping soundly.jpg]

└ Ugh hahahahaha

└ He’s the final boss.

└ Hahaha for real, looks so comfortable.

└ Our Jin-woo oppa! Even his sleeping face is cool!

└ ??? : Is this really during a competition?

└ By the way, isn’t the time almost up?

└ ㅇㅇㅇ 3 minutes left.

Citizens enjoying the league with refreshing feelings!

Actually, that’s what they’re most curious about.

Baek Jin-woo said it.

He’d wait exactly one hour.

After that, he’d participate himself, and they could look forward to what would happen then.

Since the world’s 1st ranked player said so, it would be stranger not to have expectations.

└ Drumroll drumroll!

└ What will happen indeed?

└ Count, everyone count!

└ But is Baek Jin-woo actually keeping track of time?

└ Probably? Given Baek Jin-woo’s personality, he wouldn’t have entered without a plan.

Time continued to flow.

The world’s attention gradually began focusing on Baek Jin-woo’s screen.

Some countries even put Baek Jin-woo resting comfortably as their main screen.

And.

When about 1 minute remained.

“Alright.”

Baek Jin-woo, who had been sitting quietly with his back against the rock, slowly began to stand up.

“Aso.”

– Yes, Father!

“You’re at 2-star for both Wind Traceless and One Flash Heaven and Earth now, right?”

– Yes!

What an amazing child.

Something so difficult to learn, and how much time has passed that he’s already reached 2-star.

Admirable and also proud.

– I improved a lot while helping Father’s subordinates climb tower floors!

Hehe.

Strictly speaking, they’re not subordinates, but…

Does it look that way to Aso’s eyes too?

“Now then. Show Father the Ilseom Cheonji you learned.”

– I just need to split this forest, right?

“Yes.”

– Got it.

Swoosh.

Aso stands up and raises her wooden sword.

At the same time, she lowers her stance and closes her eyes.

What makes Aso even more incredible!

It’s that she uses a wooden sword instead of a real blade even when using Ilseom Cheonji!

– This sky and earth here are narrower than I thought, so if I do well, I think I can cut cleanly through it.

Whew.

What an amazing girl.

Well.

No matter how wide the field is, it wouldn’t be as wide as Earth.

– Hoo.

With a short exhaled breath.

Kugugugugugu…!

An increasingly intense aura begins rising from the wooden sword.

And soon.

Mugeok Cheongeom Technique.

Secret technique.

Ilseom Cheonji!

Swoosh.

The wooden sword strikes down forward as brilliant light cuts across the sky.

From the moment Baek Jin-woo stood up.

The world’s attention was focused solely on him.

Every screen captures Baek Jin-woo, no… Aso.

– Aso has stood up.

– What is she trying to do?

– It’s been exactly 1 minute now, but nothing is moving.

– Look there. Aso has raised her wooden sword.

Even the MCs with no information could only recite the situation with bewildered voices.

– Let’s watch for now.

Zoom!

The camera zoomed in on Aso.

Everyone held their breath and watched her actions.

Naturally, the community was in chaos too.

└ Hm?

└ What?

└ Suddenly doing exercises with a wooden sword?

└ Wasn’t she supposed to rush out and slice through everything refreshingly?

└ ????

When most were collecting question marks.

Flash!

With intense light cutting through the sky, Aso’s wooden sword struck down toward the earth.

And.

Slice!

A cutting sound was heard.

With audio effects supported in the Arena, people worldwide heard it clearly.

└ ????

└ Slice?

└ Did I hear that right?

Suddenly.

The field felt as quiet as if even breathing had stopped.

At the same time.

Crack!

A single deep fissure began forming across the entire field.

A crack so long it couldn’t fit entirely on screen, as if splitting the world in two.

└ ????

└ ????

└ Huh?

└ What is that?

Shock?

No.

Most people were genuinely confused about what that was, narrowing their eyes.

Even the red demons scattered on the streets stirred in confusion.

And soon.

Kugugugugugugu…!

Heaven and earth rumbled as the ground and sky began to twist.
