I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 206

Assault Team Deployment

The third S-grade summoned creature obtained after Neujo and Champion!

Aurelysis!

I opened up its status window.

[Summoned Creature: Aurelysis]

[Race: Spirit]

[Grade: S-grade]

[Level: 1]

[Stats]

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

HP: 1,000, MP: 0

Critical Hit Rate: 20%

Critical Hit Damage: 20%

[Skills]

– Breath of Nature: Spreads natural energy over a wide area to heal surrounding life forms and inflict poison on enemies.

– Totem Totem: Plants one wooden branch totem according to the situation. When a new one is planted, the existing one disappears.

– Forest’s Cry: The totem’s effect is temporarily amplified by two times.

– Nature’s Wrath: 10 random totems are planted simultaneously. (Duration: 10 minutes)

Wow.

It has fewer skills compared to other S-grades, but judging by the content alone, it’s definitely overpowered.

Isn’t this almost the strongest for buff-type?

First, Totem Totem!

Each of those countless wooden branches is a buff or debuff totem.

There are too many to examine one by one, and even if I could, Song Yeon-hee would have to do it.

– If you look for them, you’ll probably find every possible effect that could exist.

According to Hunkyo, that’s how it is.

Moreover?

‘Nature’s Wrath.’

There’s an ultimate skill that plants the effects of 10 such totems all at once.

It’s already strong now, but with that…

Won’t Song Yeon-hee almost reach Hong Ari’s level?

Just imagine 10 buffs with five dolls dancing simultaneously.

Whew.

That would be amazing.

Baek Jin-woo, who was inwardly impressed, went down to the main training ground.

Everyone was gathered, busily organizing their rewards.

Once again, there was a heated discussion about whether or not to open the Ultimate Summoning Scroll.

“Alright everyone, gather around. We’ll have another S-grade summoned creature presentation ceremony.”

“Ooooh.”

“Who is it this time?”

“Aaaah! Don’t tell me you already drew it beforehand?”

Gi Jae-hyeok made a disappointed expression.

“Ugh, I thought you’d draw it together with us.”

“Don’t get your hopes up since it’s not yours anyway.”

An Gi-jeong ruffled Gi Jae-hyeok’s hair and scolded him.

“Hmph, it’s not Uncle Gi-jeong’s either, right?”

“Honestly, I think it’s Song Yeon-hee’s from the start.”

“Hmm, I’ll admit that.”

The atmosphere was all ‘Of course it’s Song’s.’

The summoned creature is Song Yeon-hee’s anyway.

At least there’s justification for it.

‘Bingo.’

Baek Jin-woo immediately summoned Aurelysis.

– Grwooooooooo!

A giant tree-form forest spirit king!

“Gasp.”

“So, so cool!”

“This might not be Sister Yeon-hee’s, right? Anyone can see it’s a tanker!”

Baek Jin-woo said with a chuckle.

“Unfortunately, you’re right, it’s Song Yeon-hee’s.”

Song Yeon-hee’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Re, really?”

Honestly, there had been many frustrating parts until now.

All the other guild members received and used A-grade ones, but she alone had all B-grades.

No matter how special the summoned creatures were, there was some disappointment in her heart!

But?

“Take it. It’s totem-type so it’ll suit you. Just plant it nearby and control your dolls as usual.”

Now she’d be inhuman to feel disappointed.

All emotions melted away like snow and only respect for Baek Jin-woo grew abundantly.

She already respected him, but now she was simply devoted.

“Th, thank you!”

Bow.

She lowered her head, approached, and carefully proceeded with the trade.

“Wow…”

“She shot up all at once. From B-grade to S-grade.”

“If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have taken the A-grade last time!”

“…No, you just had to be lucky from the start. You should have brought a guaranteed ticket!”

Watching that scene, everyone opened their mouths and drooled.

Looking at it, it’s quite cute.

They’re all world-class players…

Yet they’re so purely envious of a single summoned creature.

‘Well.’

Actually, this is the leisure of those who have, and if Baek Jin-woo didn’t have EX-grade ones, he would have been desperately obsessing over a single S-grade too.

“We decided to climb the Tower of Trials in a week, so everyone make sure to prepare properly. Song Yeon-hee, get that thing’s runes and level settings all done too.”

“Yes!”

“Understood, hyung-nim!”

Baek Jin-woo stopped by his house.

Now he had to climb the tower again, so he forced himself to make time!

“Is there anything inconvenient lately?”

“Hey, how could we have anything like that!”

Father Baek Jin-chul smiled with satisfaction.

“I’m so busy frying chicken these days. The money too… That CEO Yu Ji-a keeps depositing money.”

“…She’s giving you money?”

Yu Ji-a is?

There was no separate mention of that.

“We keep refusing, but she absolutely won’t listen.”

Mother also chimed in from the side.

“She keeps making up things like family compensation and depositing it… Is this right? She says we don’t even have to pay taxes now. She deposits almost 1 billion every month. Says it’s really pocket change.”

Huh.

That’s right.

Originally our country’s gift tax and inheritance tax were hell….

Now all companies under Yubaek have zero taxes on everything.

‘But whatever.’

You can take as much money as you want.

Now….

He had grown tremendously to the point where the amount of money didn’t concern him at all.

To Baek Jin-woo, money was like water at the beach.

Something he could scoop up and use anytime, anywhere….

Frankly speaking, money comes in just from breathing.

“For now, I’m saving it up bit by bit in my bank account.”

“Oh, Mother.”

“Yes?”

“Just spend it freely. Buy luxury goods, buy cars. Mother, you know well enough now. How much money Yubaek makes. 70% of that is mine.”

“…Is, is that so?”

“Or should I raise your allowance a bit? To 10 billion per month.”

“No, that’s fine. We have trouble spending even 100 million per month.”

When Mother refused, Father quickly changed the subject with a laugh.

“Hehehe, anyway, thank you! Thanks to our son, we get to enjoy such luxuries.”

He was afraid that hearing those words might make him lower the allowance from 1 billion to 100 million.

Oh my.

That won’t happen.

That’s when it happened.

Mother’s eyes lit up.

“By the way, dear. Are you perhaps…. dating that President Yu?”

“Pardon?”

“Well, that girl comes by every time calling me ‘Mother, Mother’ and treats me so warmly…. It really feels like I’ve gained a daughter-in-law. Her behavior is so lovely.”

“Hehehe, that’s right. She comes to our chicken shop often too.”

“Oh my, really?”

He hadn’t told his family yet.

Actually, even the guild members don’t know.

They probably have some idea…. but it seemed like it would continue to be a secret relationship.

It can’t be helped.

Beyond privacy, since Yubaek is a company with global influence, there are many complicated issues.

Public attention and all that.

Anyway.

“The food tastes especially good today.”

“Hehehe, and that President Yu. She seems like a good person. I’m afraid some other man might steal her away.”

“Haha, as expected, our mother’s kimchi stew is the best.”

“That’s right, eat plenty.”

One week later.

All 41 assault team members completed their preparations.

[Rachel Rose, “We don’t know what difficulty of dungeon awaits us in the 60th Floor range.”]

Rachel took charge of all external communications to people worldwide.

She appeared on various media outlets for interviews and conveyed our thoughts.

Everyone was anxious.

Now it was almost like venturing into uncharted territory.

We know nothing.

Whether it will become several times more difficult than before.

Or if completely different backgrounds and never-before-seen bosses will appear.

The concept of gathering together like this to enter the Tower of Trials didn’t exist in Battle of Summoners to begin with.

[Assault team! Equip filming equipment! Protect humanity’s right to know!]

[PBC (Korean Broadcasting Station) supports Baek Jin-woo filming equipment to assault team!]

Click, clatter!

It was decided that one person from each country would wear it, and Han Yu-na took charge for us.

Moreover, Han Yu-na says she’s bringing a personal camera too.

She wants to capture this historic moment from her own unique angle?

Baek Jin-woo coolly agreed.

Anyway, the summoned creatures do the fighting.

He just needs to control well while filming.

If you can’t even control properly but carry such things around?

You’ll be smashed on the spot.

“I’ve packed emergency rations too!”

“Hyung-nim! Here’s the special one for Ramba!”

Gi Jae-hyeok came carrying two large ice boxes on both shoulders.

Inside those are 200 Ramba cream pastries.

100 in each box.

“Good work. Thank you.”

That’s more than enough.

Anyway, the allowed time until dungeon clear is roughly 180 days.

‘Just eating one per day should be fine.’

– Hyaaah! Jaehyeok! Thank youuuu!

“Yeah, you’re welcome!”

Jaehyeok winking at Ramba in greeting.

The entry time is noon by South Korean standards.

3 AM in England.

10 PM on the US East Coast.

For Japan, it’s the same time, 12 noon.

The 41 members of Humanity’s Alliance decided to enter together at exactly the right time.

Baek Jin-woo and his members were also waiting with all preparations complete.

“Waaaah!”

“Everyone must return safely without dying!”

“You are the heroes of this world!”

Around the world, people had all come out and were raising their voices in support.

Various banners and hand signs were densely filled with messages of encouragement and gratitude.

“Whew.”

Baek Jin-woo exhaled.

Probably.

There’s a high chance they’ll continue with these 41 members.

They’ll grow tremendously here…. and the tower will become more difficult as they climb higher.

Won’t it become even harder for latecomers to catch up to the gap?

‘This time, there’s one goal.’

He resolved in his heart.

‘Zero deaths.’

To not create a single casualty.

To continue clearing the 80th, 90th, and 100th floors, they must preserve their full strength as much as possible.

Hmm.

But why is it.

Baek Jin-woo kept having such thoughts.

‘Somehow I have this feeling that this tower will be cleared easily….’

I don’t know about other things.

Pokryong, Aso.

These two are way too overpowered right now.

Honestly, I can’t picture a scenario where they lose.

‘Originally, from the 61st to 70th floors, only dragons appear.’

Fire Dragon, Ice Dragon, Thunder Dragon, Poison Dragon, Water Dragon, Wind Dragon, and so on…

And the 70th floor boss?

That’s Chaos Dragon Zarvan (S-rank).

When this guy goes berserk and appears, it becomes the ultimate raid mob Chaos Dragon!

Of course.

That’s how it was in Battle of Summoners, but who knows what will happen here.

Tick, tick!

Time continued to flow.

Buzz!

A text message rang on his phone.

[Rachel: Exactly 180 days and 10 hours remaining. We absolutely must defeat the 70th floor boss within that time.]

[Baek Jin-woo: Confirmed.]

[Jenos: Confirmed.]

[Sugoi: Confirmed.]

The promised time was now 30 seconds away.

[Rachel: Everyone ready?]

[Jenos: Yeah, let’s see once we get inside.]

[Sugoi: Ready to go!]

[Baek Jin-woo: We are too.]

Baek Jin-woo also replied briefly.

And now only 10 seconds remained.

As he nodded, the stationed staff opened the main gate with a creak!

The members each turned their heads to check each other’s expressions, sharing smiles and determined gazes.

‘Shall we go in then?’

Everyone took their first step together.

It was the moment when the first Tower of Trials assault team’s joint strategy began.
