I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 207

Tower of Trials 70th Floor (1)

Whoosh!

The dim view brightened in an instant.

Originally, the Tower was based on solo play.

But now?

“Wow.”

“This actually works.”

“Ji-ho, entering!”

“Boss! Jaehyeok is here too!”

Members appeared one by one inside.

That wasn’t all.

“Jin-woo!”

“You came.”

Rachel, Jenos, and Hikaru had already entered and were forming their formation.

The total number was 41 people.

No Players were missing.

As soon as Baek Jin-woo arrived, he summoned all the summoned creatures he had set as a team.

Only the EX-grade ones.

He had registered other summoned creatures too, but honestly, more than that wasn’t necessary.

“Ramba.”

– Yeah!

“Here.”

Swoosh.

He opened the ice box and threw one cream bun exclusively for Ramba.

– Oh oh, nice!

“Eat it and stack up right away.”

– Of course! Just trust me!

He didn’t know what situations would unfold within the Dungeon.

When conditions and time to become stronger were given, he had to stack up in advance.

“Phew.”

Baek Jin-woo looked around.

“It’s bustling.”

With 41 people gathered together, it was definitely a different scene.

Even if each of them brought out 15 summoned creatures?

Theoretically, that would be 615 creatures.

“Jin-woo, the field is completely different from Battle of Summoners.”

Rachel approached with a serious expression.

“Right.”

Baek Jin-woo also nodded.

Originally, the mid-boss of the 61st Floor was a Flame Dragon.

The background should have been a lava zone, but it wasn’t.

In front of their view was an incredibly wide hall, and the path was divided into three branches.

“Hmm, Jin-woo.”

“Yeah.”

“This is just my feeling, but I think we need to split the team.”

Split the team?

Baek Jin-woo frowned.

‘This would disrupt the plan from the beginning.’

He had made a resolution before entering.

To make the number of deaths zero.

But?

The moment they split the team, he might not be able to take care of the other teams.

‘The situation isn’t very good for now.’

From the 51st to 60th Floor, even though the world itself had become stronger in terms of feeling, he could deal with it based on existing information.

But now?

There was no information at all.

He had to solve problems with only his senses.

That’s when it happened.

[20 minutes remaining until entry deadline.]

[Current entry count: 41/50]

A message appeared in front of all Players.

“Ah.”

Baek Jin-woo nodded.

“Since it’s 50 people from the Tower’s Garden, they’re waiting until it’s filled.”

Since there could be time differences in entering, it seemed like they were being considerate.

But well.

All the Players who were going to enter had already entered.

“So we just wait for now?”

Rachel said, and Baek Jin-woo nodded.

There was no way to know how things would flow from here on.

They could only wait.

After 20 minutes passed like that.

[Entry is now closed.]

[Tower of Trials mission begins.]

[This mission requires three parties.]

[Players are requested to form teams and move to the three-way path.]

“As expected.”

Rachel let out a regretful exclamation.

“Ha.”

“Ugh.”

The Rankers also clenched their fists and sighed.

In a situation where they were anxious even fighting together, they had to split into teams.

[Each Player, please stand on the corresponding rune shape.]

Rumble!

Various patterns appeared in front of the divided paths.

Fire shape, ice shape, and lightning shape.

“This is…”

Baek Jin-woo muttered.

“Flame Dragon, Frost Dragon, Thunder Dragon?”

They were the mid-bosses of the 61st, 62nd, and 63rd Floors respectively.

“I’m thinking the same thing.”

Jenos stepped forward.

“Of course, we shouldn’t predict carelessly, but the probability seems high right now.”

[Please stand carefully.]

[Once decided, teams cannot be changed.]

[30 minutes remaining.]

[If you’re not on a rune before time expires, you’ll be randomly distributed.]

“Rachel.”

“Yeah.”

“This mid-boss will probably be about 10 times stronger than the existing Tower of Trials too.”

“That’s likely.”

“Can you win fighting without me?”

“I can’t guarantee it. But at least I know all the weaknesses.”

With the time limit, the situation became urgent.

“We need to form teams quickly. First.”

Baek Jin-woo set the standard.

“I’ll enter the lightning symbol alone.”

“Will that really be okay?”

“The Thunder Dragon is the toughest. If I had my way, I’d want to catch all three at once.”

“…True.”

Rachel nodded.

Because it was Baek Jin-woo, these weren’t arrogant words.

Hadn’t she witnessed firsthand the power of his Aso and Pokryong?

Even if all the Rankers here gathered together, they wouldn’t be able to handle Baek Jin-woo.

“Okay, everyone follow me.”

Excluding Baek Jin-woo.

Rachel, Jenos, Hikaru, Hong Ari.

Discussions between the national representatives began.

The result.

“Korea and Japan will team up, and England and the United States will team up.”

Rachel reported the results.

“You divided it into East and West?”

“Just looking at this world ranking, Korea is the strongest among nations. But you’re the only experienced leader, Jin-woo.”

He acknowledged it.

Hong Ari?

Her skills were good, but she had no experience clearing the Tower of Trials.

“So we paired with Japan. Hikaru has a slight edge over Jenos.”

“Then Hikaru will be the team leader?”

“That’s right.”

“Okay, that’s reasonable.”

It wasn’t a bad judgment.

Brother Sugoi…

Though they kept clashing with Japan, Sugoi himself had always respected Baek Jin-woo.

Also, his skills weren’t bad either.

It was true that currently he was far superior to Hong Ari.

“Phew.”

Still.

It was fortunate that he had worked hard to develop his members.

Who knew the Tower of Trials would proceed this way.

If only he had grown alone, it would have been a disaster.

Anyway.

Preparations were complete.

Each team stood on their respective symbols, and each team leader began briefing.

The Flame Dragon’s weaknesses, the Frost Dragon’s weaknesses.

Things like that.

What if dragons didn’t appear?

Then they’d have to solve it according to the situation at that time.

They were all world Rankers representing Earth.

He believed they would have that much wit.

On the other hand, Baek Jin-woo had nothing to prepare.

Standing on the rune, he listened to their briefings and supplemented what was lacking.

‘Hmm.’

Come to think of it, this thought occurred to him too.

Perhaps the Tower of Trials itself was trying to prevent him from growing alone?

Maybe it had the will to develop Earth’s overall power…

Well, it was just baseless speculation, so it was fine to let it pass.

[Waiting time is ending.]

[Teams will be decided.]

Rumble…!

The hall vibrated, and portals of different colors appeared in front.

By attribute, they were red, blue, and purple.

[The doors have opened.]

[Enter!]

“Ready.”

As Baek Jin-woo nodded and muttered, his summons each drew their weapons.

“Let’s finish it as soon as we go.”

Then, he leaped straight into the portal.

Indeed, it was as expected.

The place he moved to was exactly the scenery of the 63rd Floor he had seen before.

The Storm-Swept Sky Island.

– Kroaaaaaaaaaaa!

As soon as he landed there, a giant electric dragon let out a tremendous roar.

‘Thunder Dragon.’

It was that guy’s appearance.

It looked exactly the same as what he had seen in Battle of Summoners.

‘It’s incredibly huge.’

Indeed, its majesty was tremendous.

If there were a castle, it was big enough to swallow an entire fortress whole…

Crackle, crackle!

Yellow electric sparks constantly flew from its back.

Along with its eerily glowing eyes, just as the sky was about to darken.

– Split apart!

Slash!

Aso brought down his wooden sword.

One of the secret techniques of the Mugeok Cheongeom Technique, Heaven and Earth Slash!

A 2-star technique was unleashed immediately.

– Kroaaa?

Along with the Thunder Dragon’s confused cry, a line was drawn from the top of its head to its belly.

That wasn’t all.

Explosive Dragon Arts.

Secret technique.

Annihilation.

Kuaaaaaaaa!

Pokryong’s greatest magic followed.

Before the Thunder Dragon could split, flames covered its entire body!

And that was the end.

Crack!

The Thunder Dragon split open and melted at the same time.

Thud thud thud!

The torn flesh fell to the floor and burst into flames.

[‘Thunder Dragon'(S-rank) has been eliminated.]

Ramba’s stacks?

Jakgeo and Dampir’s tanking?

Hunkyo’s strategy?

Eila’s divine power?

None of it was needed.

The current weight class of Aso and Pokryong was simply ridiculous.

This.

I never expected the middle floors of the Tower of Trials to be this easy.

‘Wow.’

I had roughly expected it, but seeing it in person was still surprising.

Whoosh!

Coming outside, we were back in that same place.

However?

The other members were still nowhere to be seen.

They were probably still fighting.

Even saying they’re fighting is funny.

They probably just started fighting now, right?

‘I’d like to help them out a bit.’

Unfortunately, that’s not allowed.

No matter how strong Aso and Pokryong are, they can’t escape the limits imposed by the system.

The colored portal had already closed, and even when I tried standing on the rune just in case, there was no particular reaction.

– Father, how was it? Did I do well?

When Aso came running over with a grinning smile, Pokryong’s mouth was pouting.

Huh?

What’s bothering him?

– Aso, that’s unfair.

– What is?

– Using such a cheat skill right from the start.

– …Huh?

Aso looked at Pokryong with an expression asking what he meant.

Cheat!

You’re plenty of a cheat yourself!

– I know. Honestly, that Thunder Dragon was already split in half before you even used Annihilation.

Pokryong has a very strong desire for recognition.

So he wants to be active in any battle, but he seemed dissatisfied that Aso had become too strong.

Especially in that last battle…

The Thunder Dragon would have been split in one hit even without using Annihilation.

– Jin-woo.

“…Yeah?”

Baek Jin-woo was quite perplexed too.

His summons were now growing insanely beyond bug-level, as if they might become gods…

And in the midst of all that, they’re competing with each other?

Hey guys.

You can take it easy, you know.

Now you’re really lacking humanity.

– I want to become stronger too. Like Aso.

“Heh, hehehe.”

He just laughed.

No, Pokryong.

You alone are already Earth’s strongest, you know?

– Hunkyo.

– …

– Don’t I have any other potential abilities?

– You do.

– I do?

Pokryong’s eyes sparkled.

– You need to awaken.

– How do I do that?

– I don’t know yet.

Pokryong made a surprised expression.

– Hunkyo doesn’t know?

– Awakening has its time. Stack more Predation. When your turn comes, I’ll tell you then.

– Tch.

– And Aso.

– Yeah!

– Well done. Now you should gradually learn other techniques too.

– Right! It’ll probably take quite a while for the others to come anyway.

– You tell me to wait! But you’re going to teach Aso more?

Only Pokryong looked dejected.

Regardless.

Thud, thud thud thud!

Training preparations began.

My goodness.

Coming into the Tower of Trials and training because there’s nothing else to do!

‘That’s good though?’

Baek Jin-woo also sat down in position.

He had no intention whatsoever of becoming complacent just because he was strong now.

Like the current Tower of Trials.

This world is one where things can change at any time.

If he spaced out and caused fatal consequences? Who would he blame for that?

‘Right, if you’re going to get stronger anyway, get even stronger.’

So that you can clear even the 100th floor of the Tower of Trials in one hit like just now.

Your becoming that strong might bring peace to this Earth, don’t you think?

And now I was personally curious too.

How much stronger would these guys get?

What kind of ridiculous overpowered antics would they pull?

I was looking forward to it.
