I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 212

Destruction Dragon (2)

Black Dragon (S-rank).

The system had clearly described that pitch-black dragon as such.

Did that mean there was a possibility that dragon wasn’t the Destruction Dragon?

‘No.’

Baek Jin-woo was certain.

His own instincts told him so, and with both Mayeo and Hunkyo confirming it, he felt even more confident.

“There must be some story behind it.”

In other words, it was a Black Dragon during the ancient Cadia Empire era, then later became the Destruction Dragon.

Oh.

This hypothesis sounds plausible?

Didn’t Eila say the same thing.

That the Cadia Empire was destroyed by test subjects.

So perhaps the name “Destruction Dragon” was given after that.

Whatever the case.

That wasn’t important, and what was certain was that the Black Dragon was emanating very strong hostility toward them.

Whoosh, whoosh!

The creature kicked off the ground and rose up while flapping its wings.

Its body looked incredibly light despite its massive frame.

– Father, what should we do?

“Hm?”

– Can I just slice that Black Dragon apart?

Uh…

That’s the Destruction Dragon though…

If you slice it apart, wouldn’t I not even have the chance to choose it as my summoned creature?

“Can’t you subdue it instead?”

– This isn’t an ordinary opponent. Honestly, I’m not even sure if I can slice it apart.

Aso’s One Flash Heaven and Earth was a technique that could split heaven and earth with a single sword strike.

Heaven and earth.

In other words?

A planet.

That meant if the opponent was harder than a planet, even Daeseong might not be able to cut it!

Moreover, Aso wasn’t even at Daeseong yet.

She was merely at 2-star.

There was a voice that heightened Aso’s sense of caution.

– Aso, give it your all.

It was Hunkyo.

Hunkyo’s strength was instantly gauging a target’s level just by looking.

If he could determine the presence or absence of talent just by observation, gauging someone’s level wouldn’t be difficult either.

– That Black Dragon just awakened. The awakening effect is similar to Eila’s. Our damage won’t land easily.

Huh?

It just awakened now?

At that moment.

– GROOOOOOOOOOOAR!

The Black Dragon let out a roar.

At that thunderous howl, the earth shook, the air grew heavy and pressed down, constricting everyone’s breathing.

They say when a tiger roars, all the plants and trees in the mountains tremble?

When the Black Dragon roared, it felt like the entire planet was trembling in fear.

“N-no…”

“It’s all over now.”

“Ugh.”

The newly arrived researchers and awakened guards fell into despair.

“Ch-change the Chimeras’ target!”

“We need to stop the Black Dragon before the terrorists!”

And at that moment.

– GROOOOOOOOOOOAR!

The Cadia Empire side also brought out a massive Chimera.

Ah.

Baek Jin-woo nodded.

That’s it.

That’s the Chaos Dragon, Jarbaan (S-rank)!

Originally the boss of the 70th floor of the Tower of Trials.

This Empire seemed to possess quite a large quantity of them…

However.

Swoosh!

The moment it appeared, the Black Dragon charged through the air.

Shriiiiek!

In almost the blink of an eye, the Black Dragon approached Jarbaan and immediately bit down on its neck with a loud CRUNCH!

– KIIIIIIIIIIIIIAK!

Along with Jarbaan’s scream.

Rip!

Its neck was torn off.

And that was the end.

“Wow.”

This is insane.

Does this even make sense?

I heard that Jarbaan was created by extracting a young Black Dragon’s DNA and forcibly amplifying it into an adult dragon.

And a mere hatchling Black Dragon killed that Jarbaan in one hit?

– That’s the power of awakening, Master.

Hunkyo muttered beside him.

– I don’t know the reason, but the moment Master released its shackles, that creature’s power was amplified. Whether it’s thanks to Master or due to rage toward the continent, I’m not sure.

Whatever the case.

The Black Dragon had currently become an overwhelming existence that stimulated the fear instinctively imprinted in all living beings.

“So can you subdue it?”

– We’ll have to try.

“Good.”

Baek Jin-woo made his decision.

First, fight the Black Dragon.

Fight it, subdue it to calm its excitement, then ask questions.

What it was angry about, what it wanted.

And whatever it was?

He would fulfill it.

Resolving a summoned creature’s resentment!

That was the most important thing to gain the choice of an awakened summoned creature.

For that purpose, he didn’t care if this entire continent collapsed.

Dash!

Aso leaped high into the sky first.

She held her wooden sword.

And struck down with a chopping motion.

Kuwaaaaaaaaa!

The Black Dragon couldn’t ignore that sword strike either, flinching as it dodged.

Its eyes were filled with wariness.

At the same time, it whipped its waist!

A tail strike headed toward Aso at light speed.

However.

– Where do you think you’re going.

The tail only cut through empty air.

Punghua Muheun.

There was no way to physically strike Aso who had become wind.

Aso’s ability to utilize Punghua Muheun had reached its peak.

Flash here, flash there!

Disappearing and reappearing!

Kwaang!

She pounded the Black Dragon’s body with her sword.

– Kiaaaaaaak!

The Black Dragon showed its irritation.

But?

If you’re going to get irritated over just that, it’s useless!

– Pokryong is here too!

Hwarararak!

A red dragon soared into the sky from Pokryong’s dragon head staff.

It was exactly the same size as the current Black Dragon.

– Should we go with Destruction?

– Just fire it.

– Yes.

At Hunkyo’s nod, the red dragon opened its mouth wide.

Pokryong Technique.

Secret Art.

Destruction.

– Looking at it, the Destruction Dragon’s situation and my situation seem quite similar. This breath is also what I used when destroying the continent.

As mentioned before, Pokryong was now no different from the Dragon Tribe.

Because the mark of Pokryong had formed in her heart.

The Ancient Pokryong was Pokryong herself.

Hwarararak!

Matching the shooting flames, the Black Dragon also opened its mouth wide.

A pitch-black breath shot out simultaneously.

When the two energies clashed in mid-air.

Kuwaaaaaaaaaaaa!

A tremendous roar echoed, and Kwaang! A shockwave exploded outward.

The two clashing energies twisted and writhed as if trying to devour each other, creating a wave that swallowed everything in an instant.

“…This is insane.”

Though Baek Jin-woo was unaffected thanks to the protective barrier, he cursed first upon seeing the devastating scene around him.

Would this be what the center of a nuclear explosion looked like?

The nearby buildings instantly turned to dust.

The entire area looked as if it was returning to primordial times.

The Chimeras too.

The security guards who had been rushing over too.

All annihilated.

What about the two researchers who had guided Baek Jin-woo?

Fortunately, they were alive.

Kuwung!

Because Eila had protected them with a sacred shield.

“Huk, hueeek!”

“P-please save us!”

The researchers were truly panic-stricken.

They broke out in cold sweat while assessing the surrounding situation.

They knew the Black Dragon was strong, but they didn’t expect it to be to this degree, and also… They knew these criminals were strong too, but they didn’t expect them to be this powerful.

– Grwoooooo!

Thump, thump, thump!

Jakgeo charged forward, then leaped up toward the Black Dragon.

Pulling back his fist.

Kwaaaaang!

He struck down.

Naturally, Dampir was on top of him.

The beginning of tanking!

– Kiaaaak!

The Black Dragon thrust out its claws to strike down, but as usual, he wouldn’t die and would recover.

– Jin-wooooo!

“Huh?”

– The cream bread effect wore off!

“Okay.”

He tore open the wrapper of a few cream breads he had set aside in his pocket and threw them to Ramba.

– Waang!

Catching it in her mouth.

– Let’s gooooo!

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!

She frantically waved her staff at Hunkyo, Aso, and Doldoli.

– That dragon!

Mayeo also rolled her eyes and cast spells.

– He’s going to be part of our family from now on, and he shows quite some promise, meow! From now on, such a strong guy will be on the same team as us, meow!

“That’s my wish.”

– It’s this witch’s wish too, meow!

The battle continued.

Everyone participated fully from their respective positions without anyone slacking off.

Baek Jin-woo was the same.

He controlled and commanded while observing the overall situation.

‘This isn’t a fight to win.’

This was a fight to show that Black Dragon.

That your master is this strong.

Originally, to tame a beast, you had to sufficiently appeal that you were stronger than it.

The more ferocious its nature, the more so.

It would never serve someone weaker as its master.

‘Come into my embrace.’

If only you do that?

I’ll personally make happen the continental destruction you so desperately wanted.

At that moment.

Wuuung!

A blue gate was created again in the White Space.

“Haa.”

“We did it.”

“Uhahahaha!”

One by one, the rankers from England and the United States emerged.

“This Frost Dragon wasn’t much, was it?”

“It did take some time, but it’s quite encouraging that we cleared it without a single casualty.”

For reference, there are no injuries in the Tower of Trials.

For a summoner to get injured in the first place?

All summons would have to be reverse-summoned and the protective barrier would have to disappear, and by that point, it’s almost 100% death.

One by one.

They slowly walked out of the gate.

Jenos and Rachel were the last to walk out.

“Is everyone safe?”

While Rachel was checking the headcount and looking after the guild members.

“Huh?”

“Hmm?”

Confused voices could be heard from above.

It seemed to be some of the guild members who had gone ahead.

Rachel frowned.

‘I definitely warned them before going out.’

To go ahead, but not to act recklessly.

“Guildmaster! Come here! There are dragon corpses scattered everywhere.”

“What?”

Dragon corpses?

Rachel and Jenos’s eyes met.

“Let’s go see.”

Jenos was the first to stride up the stairs.

And then.

“Uh…”

When they had come here before, it was definitely an overall empty pure white space.

But now?

It was no longer white.

A space drenched in bright red blood, with countless torn dragon corpses scattered throughout.

“Looking at the hide, the dark green one is a poison dragon, the blue-green one is a wind dragon…”

Moreover.

“Gasp.”

Jenos gasped.

“There’s an earth dragon, light dragon, and illusion dragon too.”

“Are you sure?”

Rachel also examined the corpses with an uncertain expression to verify their authenticity.

And then she was soon convinced.

They were all definitely the 60th floor mid-bosses.

“…Why is it like this?”

“Could it be…”

“…”

There was only one possibility.

Baek Jin-woo had dealt with them first and came out to finish off all the others.

If that were true, it would be truly amazing.

What took them over a day to clear, Baek Jin-woo had just slaughtered his way through.

And so many of them at that.

But?

If it’s that guy Baek Jin-woo, it seems entirely possible, which makes it even more problematic.

“But where is Jin-woo Baek?”

“…I don’t know. If he’s the one who created this scene… shouldn’t he be here?”

While they were examining the corpses.

“Rachel!”

Olivia came running from far away.

“Over there! There’s a strange door!”

“A door?”

Running quickly, there was a closed door with magical patterns.

Could it be…

Did he go in this way?

Just as they couldn’t understand how the situation was unfolding.

Whirrrr!

A red portal appeared again on the stairs below.

And from there, the Japanese and Korean national teams began emerging one by one.

Which meant?

They had also cleared it at exactly this timing.

“First.”

Rachel nodded.

“Let’s talk with Hikaru and Hong Ari.”

“Right.”

As they walked over, everyone from Hong Ari’s side had also come out.

They too had no casualties.

Truly a fortunate thing.

“You came out first.”

Just as Hikaru was greeting Rachel with a disappointed expression as she approached.

Rumble…!

The entire hall began to shake.

Just now.

All nine chimeras had been defeated.

Though they didn’t know it.

According to the energy accumulation device’s settings, the moment the nine chimeras were defeated, the final boss, Jarbaan, would emerge.

At the very top.

A massive black portal began to form on the highest floor.

“What, what is it?”

“Everyone gather in the commons! Gather and assess the situation!”

“I can see a black dragon inside the portal!”

“Deploy summons! Prepare for battle immediately!”

Toward them moving busily about, as if making a declaration.

– Kroaaaaaaaaaaa!

The face of the chaos dragon, Jarbaan, began to reveal itself outside the portal.
