I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 214

Destruction Dragon (4)

The man who threw chunks of meat to herself.

Jinugod.

The clever Destruction Dragon figured out his personality in a short time.

The method was simple.

She could read emotions from the reactions and gazes of the summoned creatures he was taming.

– A kind master.

– Someone who tries to understand what we want and accommodate us.

– Happy.

– Now is better than our past lives.

All were positive reviews.

Was that really true?

The Destruction Dragon thought deeply about it.

The chunks of meat before her eyes.

Looking at that meat which the Destruction Dragon could obtain anytime, she slowly closed her eyes.

The moment she sank into memories, cold gazes circled around her.

– Wow, look at this sticky slime. It’s in good condition, isn’t it?

– Ugh, the smell is awful…

– That awful smell is the treasure that makes our Empire prosper. Don’t spill a single drop.

– Yes, understood!

Researchers extracting her body odor…

– Wow, look at those blood-red eyes. What are you going to do if it glares at you? Hey, humans are the lords of all creation. Not dragons.

– Oh my, it’s growling? Does it still think it’s a dragon? You lizard bastard. You’re just livestock. National treasure number one? No. Research specimen number one suits you perfectly.

Security guards who seemed to have been scolded by their superiors, approaching with reddened faces to mock her…

– Papa! This pet is cute!

– Its teeth are very sharp, what happens if I put my finger in?

– Why is this dragon so docile? The other chimeras don’t seem like this.

High-ranking aristocrat’s children who came on a field trip…

What were humans to the Black Dragon?

They were a species that could do anything for their own benefit.

They seemed to have no ethics.

Not only in how they treated her, but even the Black Dragon had to click her tongue at how they casually killed their own kind.

– Grrrrr.

So she knocked away the meat that Jinugod offered.

Just like how she once destroyed the Cadia Empire, she tried to tear apart Jinugod and the beings he commanded.

But?

It was strange.

Her body wouldn’t move.

Every time she tried to attack that being called Jinugod, her body stiffened and her thoughts froze.

It was as if this world’s laws dictated it so.

‘Master.’

She must not attack her master.

That was why.

She decided to observe this being called Jinugod a bit more.

First.

When Jinugod saw that she wouldn’t eat the meat, he kept bringing various things.

Sometimes he brought seafood, sometimes he brought sparkling gems.

The Destruction Dragon was amazed.

Rather than trying to use her, she felt warmth instead of coldness from his emotions as he tried to care for her.

So there could be humans like this too.

So she took a bite.

It was on a completely different level from the taste when she destroyed the continent, and when the researchers fed her.

It wasn’t simply about filling her stomach, but filling her heart – the Black Dragon learned this that day.

Next.

They went hunting.

He took her to a place called a dungeon, where she easily tore apart creatures that looked quite weak.

Such things were nothing to the Destruction Dragon.

Like post-meal exercise, perhaps?

Rather, it felt good as her body became lighter.

But?

Wow, amazing!

Her master’s reaction was extraordinary.

He showed reactions of praise and amazement, and began bringing her even more various things.

Why was that?

The Destruction Dragon didn’t find that moment unpleasant.

A life clearly different from her past existence of only painful survival.

Could being tamed be something like this?

Though she felt wary, she also had this thought.

Is this what salvation is?

She awakened from her reverie again.

The Black Dragon thought.

Why had she returned to the past again?

Why did the Empire she had satisfyingly destroyed still exist?

And.

Why was the one who appeared in the far future… who seemed to be her master, fighting with her?

To be precise, it wasn’t even fighting.

Movements without killing intent!

The phrase “holding back” fit perfectly.

– …

The clever Black Dragon came to her senses as soon as her memories returned.

She saw through the fact that this world was fake.

Then?

There was no more reason to fight.

No reason to destroy the continent either.

The Black Dragon… no, the Destruction Dragon realized for herself how pathetic it was to remain in the past.

Then.

– Kroaaaaaaaa!

She began to change.

[Warning! Warning! Warning!]

[The Black Dragon (S-rank) has found her true self.]

[The Black Dragon (S-rank) is transforming into the Destruction Dragon (EX-rank).]

Shedding her hatchling form, she began growing into a magnificent adult dragon.

“Cr, crazy!”

“Huh…!”

The researchers who were still alive covered their mouths.

“A, a real disaster has come.”

“So everything up until now was just an appetizer…? C, can we really stop something like that?”

Before the Destruction Dragon’s presence, they had to fully feel their helplessness as humans.

“Huh.”

Baek Jin-woo also closed his mouth in surprise.

That wasn’t just any Destruction Dragon.

It was an awakened Destruction Dragon.

Kugugugu…!

The air trembled.

Whoosh, whoosh!

With each flap of its wings, the earth resonated deeply and cracked.

A tremendous being.

The black gleaming scales were no longer simple armor.

If a black hole existed, would it be like this?

It was the abyss itself that absorbed light.

Its size had also grown tremendously.

Just like its old appearance.

If a hatchling was the size of an elephant, then the adult Destruction Dragon was similar in size to a massive aircraft.

At that imposing sight.

– Hmm.

Hunkyo stepped back and stayed close to his master.

– Myaaang! This is ridiculous-nyang!

Mayeo made a disgusted expression.

– I acknowledge it-ong! That’s the only living creature that made this witch tremble with fear-nyang!

– The Pokryong in my chest acknowledges it too. It’s definitely strong.

– Dad, sorry. I don’t think I can handle it with my current abilities either? I need a bit more training.

– Groooo…

It was an amazing sight.

To see those powerful summoned creatures tucking their tails…

It truly befitted the existence of the ultimate boss among EX-grade creatures.

However.

Baek Jin-woo wasn’t intimidated.

‘I’m that guy’s owner, so why should I be scared?’

– Krooooooooooo!

The Destruction Dragon roared.

Then it quickly grasped how this world was maintained.

An action taken because it already knew this world was fake!

And then.

Swoosh.

It turned its head.

It found it immediately.

Something visible through the door.

If it could just capture that, this world would crumble.

Jinugod.

Its own master.

Though it was a brief memory, if there was a place to return to, it judged that would be better than the future of the cold continent.

Craaack!

The Destruction Dragon opened its mouth without hesitation.

And then.

Skwaaaaaaaa!

Destruction Breath.

The pitch-black breath that destroys everything shot out like a beam of light.

At that moment.

The 40 rankers were engaged in systematic combat against Jarbaan.

Since safety was the top priority, they focused only on defense and healing, attacking only when conditions allowed.

As a result, the battle naturally dragged on.

“Now! Dodge!”

“It’s breath timing! Move to the left leg!”

They had figured out all the dragon’s attack patterns.

Though they didn’t know it, this particular chimera Jarbaan was… one of the top five tremendous chaos dragons among all Jarbaan.

“That thing.”

Jenos pointed upward.

“If we hadn’t sealed its wings, we might have been wiped out already, right?”

Rachel shook her head.

“No way.”

Total annihilation wasn’t likely.

Rachel had memorized all the patterns of wing attacks and tail whips.

However.

She couldn’t guarantee everyone’s survival.

‘Wing attacks are terrible.’

Even striking the ground had tremendous destructive power, and the debris from the shockwaves couldn’t be ignored either.

Especially in the case of that Jarbaan, its stagger resistance was tremendous, so it wouldn’t budge against most attacks.

“Keep targeting the wings!”

Rachel’s voice echoed across the battlefield.

“Focus fire on the right wing first! Once we break it completely, we move to the left!”

The pillar gifted by heaven.

There was no telling how long the Heavenly Cataclysm would hold.

They had to finish off Jarbaan’s wings before then.

“Focus! If we don’t break the wings, we have no chance of winning!”

The surroundings were already in complete chaos.

“Tank! No health left!”

“Just heal!”

“Not enough healing! Got grazed by the breath earlier by mistake!”

“You idiot!”

Summoned creatures with fatal injuries began appearing one after another.

It couldn’t be helped.

Since they had entered combat immediately after coming out of the portal, there hadn’t been sufficient training.

Kwaaaaaa!

Jarbaan’s breath turned Daejeon pitch black.

Of course, the rankers weren’t just standing idle either.

“It’s not over until it’s over!”

Rachel’s Golden Dragon breathed fire, and Baekho, using his divine beast descent, also charged forward and clung to Jarbaan.

Hikaru also made good use of his Taiji Girl and Wind Archer, and Jenos operated his Transmutation Alchemist’s chimera.

Olivia’s Neujo (S-rank) and Hong Ari’s Jujak (S-rank) were also visible.

Kwaaaaa!

All sorts of explosions and skills erupted in succession, but Jarbaan steadfastly endured all attacks.

It was like a massive mountain weathering a storm.

How much time had passed like this?

– Krooooo!

Crack!

The sound of wings tearing was heard.

“Huh?”

“What? Did it break?”

It wasn’t that.

Jarbaan had deliberately torn off his own wing with all his might.

To break free from the seal.

Puhwak!

Blood spurted out like a fountain, but the sight didn’t last long.

Why would a chimera be called a chimera for nothing?

The bleeding quickly stopped and the flesh began to clot together.

“This is insane!”

Rachel was horrified.

“This isn’t the time to defend! Now’s our chance! Don’t stop attacking the wounded area!”

“Yes!”

As soon as the order was given, the number of skills being fired began to increase.

This time, even Jarbaan wavered.

The heavy blood loss looked precarious.

But the beast was still silently carrying out its purpose.

First.

Puhdeuddeuk!

Flapping one wing, it clawed at the pillar of light embedded in it, then.

Kkuuk.

And slowly began to push it out.

Then?

Puhwaaaaak!

The opposite wing’s flesh was also torn away.

But Jarbaan didn’t care.

Rather, this was good.

In exchange for wounds, it could now fly through the sky.

“Damn it all!”

Jenos shouted, and Jarbaan’s full-scale wing attacks and tail strikes began.

A situation where the dragon had gained mobility!

Now casualties started piling up.

“A-all summons have been reverse-summoned! The barriers are gone!”

“Damn! Protect the Players first!”

Rachel reacted immediately.

She had already positioned tank specialist Rankers in the rear.

Prepared for this kind of emergency!

Players who lost their barriers had a high chance of dying from even a glancing blow.

“Rachel.”

Jenos approached.

“What do we do? The situation is serious. The barriers are disappearing one by one.”

That’s how ferocious Jarbaan was.

This wasn’t even an ordinary Jarbaan.

A Jarbaan ten times stronger.

Eudeuk.

Rachel gritted her teeth.

To think humanity would crumble just because one Jinugod was missing…!

Jjaak!

She slapped herself across the face.

Get it together.

If she spaced out here, truly great sacrifices could follow.

The feeling of losing comrades was enough from what she experienced with Gareth Bale and Sandy Mackiver.

“…I’ll move directly.”

“Wait!”

That’s when it happened.

Yoshida Hikaru pointed somewhere.

“That door!”

The magic rune door they had checked earlier.

Jjeok, jjeojeojeok!

Cracks were forming in that door.

“I-it’s splitting!”

The moment he said that.

Pagaak!

The door shattered.

Fragments flew about, and a jet-black energy shot straight through the door.

Amazingly, the direction was toward Jarbaan’s torso!

– Kiaak?

Jarbaan was surprised by the sudden attack, but it was too fast and direct a beam to react to and dodge.

Skwaaaaa…!

The beam pierced straight through Jarbaan’s torso.

Easily penetrating that tough hide.

“…What is that?”

Rachel’s pupils dilated as she watched the scene.
