I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 213

Destruction Dragon (3)

Rachel questioned herself.

‘Can we defeat that Jarbaan?’

The answer was…

Ambiguous.

She knew how to defeat it.

She knew its weaknesses and had all the skill rotation patterns memorized in her head.

If they returned to Battle of Summoners with this current strength, they could probably defeat it.

But?

‘That Jarbaan isn’t the same Jarbaan from the game.’

The Tower of Trials cooperative mode drastically increases the difficulty of monsters.

Roughly judging, this one was probably about ten times stronger than the original.

That’s why they gathered so many Players.

“Haha.”

Hikaru laughed.

“This is the worst. We have to face that monster without Jinugod.”

“Where the hell did Jinugod go?”

Jenos kept searching the surroundings, but there was no time.

Nothing was changing either.

Already, half of the chaos dragon Jarbaan’s body was emerging.

[‘Jarbaan’ (S-rank) reveals its tremendous presence.]

“Kugh.”

“Heok!”

The Rankers gasped in shock.

“Is this really the final boss?”

“Don’t tell me Jinugod was already defeated by that thing?”

“That’s impossible.”

Rachel shook her head.

“He slaughtered six dragons. No matter how strong the mid-boss is, with that level of destructive power, he could have easily defeated something like Jarbaan.”

“True.”

Jenos nodded.

“I can’t imagine that monster going somewhere and getting defeated by anyone. The problem is us, right?”

“That’s right.”

They couldn’t just keep waiting for Jinugod.

“Team leaders, deploy!”

With the enemy already appearing before their eyes, there was no time for idle thoughts.

“Just focus on landing a hit on that lizard bastard in front of us!”

“Good!”

“Let’s go!”

“We have one goal!”

Rachel shouted again.

To repeatedly remind them of what Baek Jin-woo considered most important.

“Don’t die! No need to defeat it quickly! Focus on maximum tanking and healing while targeting weak points!”

The 40 Players excluding him began moving as one body.

Each controlling their summoned creatures, they began unleashing attacks.

‘Me too.’

Rachel clenched her fist tightly.

She hadn’t brought out the Great Wizard in the previous stage, preparing for this moment.

But?

Now she had to bring him out.

She had to fight with everything she had.

“Great Wizard.”

Wooooong!

The white-haired old man extended his hand and raised his staff.

“Sorry for calling you out for the first time since the Aso incident… but you’ll have to go back into sealing once more.”

The Great Wizard had to be sealed for a month when using 9th Circle magic.

“Don’t think about penalties and just go all out.”

Rachel racked her brain.

She had already mastered all the few 9th Circle spells through the Great Wizard.

Among them, the most suitable one for the current situation?

“Heavenly Cataclysm!”

Words meaning celestial annihilation.

A magic specialized for aerial combat that brings down six giant spears of light from the sky.

If she could hit the wings with this?

She could bind its mobility for quite a long time.

“Three each. Spread them on the left and right wings.”

Originally, just preventing a dragon from flying drastically lowers the difficulty.

– Krowararararara!

Now it was almost fully emerged.

If she could shoot at just that timing, she could easily hit it.

Then?

Maybe they really could defeat that terrible dragon without Jinugod.

Rachel, who had been watching for the right moment, lit up her eyes.

“Now!”

She shouted simultaneously.

Great Wizard.

9 Circles.

Heavenly Cataclysm.

Kugwagagagagaga!

The sky split open.

Six giant spears of light revealed themselves.

Thwook!

As the Great Wizard struck down with his staff.

Kugugugugugu…!

Each spear of light began moving heavily with subtle vibrations, like weapons containing divine wrath.

– Krowararararara!

Jarbaan, instinctively sensing the threat, twisted its entire body trying to quickly emerge from the portal.

“Sorry, but no matter how much of a dragon you are, you can’t dodge 9th Circle magic.”

Sukwaaaaa!

The spears of light fell downward with intense vibrations.

In exchange, the Grand Mage was reverse-summoned with a flash, but now it was do or die.

“Let’s see you try to die.”

The battle between Baek Jin-woo and the Black Dragon (S-rank)!

The surroundings were already a desolate desert.

Nothing remained.

The Black Dragon itself seemed somewhat calmed by this.

That made sense.

All the main bastards who had imprisoned and tormented it had been completely blown away.

– Hiyat!

Aso swung her wooden sword forcefully.

– It’s really tough!

Screeeech!

The black dragon also swiped its claws, but Aso disappeared into the wind again with a swoosh.

Instead, Hunkyo blocked those claws.

– Kugh!

Skwaaaang!

The claws struck Hunkyo’s sword precisely.

Unable to withstand that force, Hunkyo was sent flying far away, and the black dragon persistently followed, opening its mouth wide.

– Where do you think you’re going.

Kuwaaaaaa!

Pacheon Singong 2nd Form.

Thousand Sword Dance unfolded from Hunkyo’s hands.

Hunkyo was quite skilled, deploying it even while being knocked back.

Kaaaaaaang!

Feeling the impact on its teeth, the black dragon rapidly soared upward again.

Whoosh, whoooosh!

Its flight was so fast and graceful that it narrowly dodged the streams of fire Pokryong was spewing.

Sometimes it got hit, but it only got slightly singed with no particular reaction.

It didn’t even cry out in pain.

‘This is incredible.’

Pokryong’s damage output is massive, yet it’s fine after taking those hits?

It was certain.

The awakened black dragon was incomparably stronger than something like Jarbaan.

‘Of course.’

Looking at it now, even the Jarbaan were all different from each other.

Some had large bodies, while others had small ones.

When he asked the researcher about this.

“That’s correct. Jarbaan refers to the second-generation test subjects.”

“Second-generation?”

“Yes. The Thunder Dragons, Wind Dragons, and Illusion Dragons you saw before were first-generation test subjects. We added attributes to the extracted black dragon genes. The second-generation? We combined those added attributes in proper ratios. That’s how the Chaos Dragons were born.”

Ah.

So combining all the attributes created chaos.

“Among those called Jarbaan, we call the strongest one the Demon Dragon. More precisely, the Chaos Dragon.”

“Ah.”

Ahhh.

Chaos Dragon!

The one and only raid mob of our Battle of Summoners!

So the origin story of that mob was here?

“The Chaos Dragon also has three heads. Three is the maximum it can multiply to. You could truly call it the essence of a chimera.”

Right.

Veteran players used to call the Chaos Dragon the Three-Headed Dragon for short.

Even during raids, they used to fight by taking on one head each.

“Where is that one?”

“The Emperor possesses it.”

“Ah.”

It was an empire, after all.

Then there would be an emperor.

For imperial power, the emperor would likely possess the strongest one.

“Phew.”

Baek Jin-woo let out a sigh.

Anyway.

‘This is tougher than I thought.’

Honestly, he thought Aso and Pokryong’s power would take it down quickly.

But?

If we’re all fighting with everything we’ve got and it’s still an even match, then the Destruction Dragon really must be formidable.

If I could tame something like that as a summon?

I wouldn’t have to worry about power anymore, would I?

‘But who knows about that.’

80th Floor, 90th Floor, 100th Floor.

There were still three Tower of Trials bosses remaining.

‘Especially in the case of the 100th Floor…’

Ugh!

It was then that a sudden headache struck.

‘What’s this?’

He couldn’t remember.

It was an extremely strange sensation.

He definitely knew about it before and had lived without paying much attention to it…

But when he tried to recall it, there was no memory at all.

Even crouching down, breathing heavily, and trying to trace his memories, there was nothing.

Is this what it feels like to have amnesia or Alzheimer’s disease?

It felt like neural circuits and synaptic connections had been severed.

But then again?

Strangely, all his other memories were perfectly clear.

– Jin-wooooo!

“Huh?”

– One more cream bun!

Oh.

Had that much time already passed?

Ramba’s skill, Cream Bun Memory, lasts for 1 hour.

That much time had already passed since they started fighting.

‘Just how long do we have to keep fighting?’

He was starting to get worried.

Not only could Rachel’s team or Hong Ari’s team finish their challenges, but he was wondering if this was even right.

‘That Destruction Dragon is mine. Why should I have to fight against what’s mine?’

“Hunkyo.”

Swoosh!

At his master’s call, she immediately rushed over even while fighting.

What did that mean?

It meant she had some leeway.

‘At least we have a reliable tank.’

– Did you call for me?

“The subjugation isn’t going well?”

– …That’s correct. We might be able to kill it, but subjugation through mere fighting is difficult. The black dragon’s power is too overwhelming to subdue.

“Should we give up and retreat then?”

– That won’t do, Master!

Hunkyo spoke decisively.

“Why?”

– There isn’t much left. From some point on, the black dragon has also been fighting half-heartedly. Just as we’re not emitting killing intent, that black dragon isn’t exposing direct killing intent toward us either.

“Really?”

– Her mental state also seems to be fluctuating back and forth.

Swoosh.

Hunkyo raised her head to observe the fighting Black Dragon.

With narrowed eyes, she continued watching.

– That’s right. Originally, her mind was filled only with rage toward the continent… But now she seems to be gradually regaining her reason.

“Really?”

– If. Really if. If the Destruction Dragon was a summon that was once with Master… There’s a high probability she remembers Master. We did too, after all. For that to happen… We need to keep fighting. We need to buy time until her memories return.

He didn’t know what it was about.

But if Hunkyo judged it that way, he should trust her.

As Baek Jin-woo nodded.

Swoosh.

He slightly lowered his head and dashed back into the battlefield.

– Grrrrr.

The mind of the Black Dragon (S-rank), who was fighting by moving her body instinctively, had already gone elsewhere.

Not a physical ‘place’ but a mental ‘place’.

That’s right.

The Black Dragon was gradually becoming aware.

That this continent no longer existed…

She was realizing that she had already brought it down once.

The Cadia Empire.

The nation that used her as a test subject and enjoyed wealth and glory for 500 years.

The shackles naturally came loose exactly when 500 years had passed.

For some reason.

Once she became an adult dragon, she could easily tear them off.

The dragon arose.

That day, the Cadia Empire was destroyed.

Whether buildings or people, she turned everything into dust without discrimination.

Die.

I don’t know if you being alive helps this world.

But at least there’s nothing beneficial for me.

Since you enjoyed prosperity by feeding off my power… It’s only right that I should be the one to take that away.

Kuwaaaaaaaaa!

The Black Dragon spewed black breath and devastated the continent.

– P-please spare us!

– Have some mercy! The Empire was wrong! It’s not our fault…!

– Ahhh, ahhhhh! Destruction! Destruction has come!

The destruction of one world.

She killed so brutally that people began calling the Black Dragon the Destruction Dragon…

They were so devastated that they couldn’t even think to record it in ancient texts.

The Black Dragon freely expressed her rage.

She vented her resentment by bringing down the continent.

After crushing all the insects in sight, she flew up toward the universe as if there was nothing more to see.

That was the end of the memory.

Flash!

And at that moment.

Another memory surfaced in the Destruction Dragon.

A black-haired character.

It was a memory of a man called Jinugod suddenly appearing and throwing some large chunk of meat with a thud!
