I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 215

Destruction Dragon (5)

Not a single person knew where that beam had come from.

However.

Skwaaaaaa…!

Seeing a massive hole pierce through the previously sturdy Jarbaan with that refreshing sound, they could tell it was stronger than they had imagined.

– Kiaaaaaaaak!

Jarbaan, with a huge hole through the center of its body, was screaming in agony.

Its expression was also colored with shock.

It had finally broken free from its seal, only to end up like this!

It struggled and tried to escape, but the core that had been maintaining its power was already gone.

Its once-mighty body lost strength and tilted over.

‘Huh.’

Rachel’s hand trembled slightly.

‘Did I sense that correctly?’

A chill ran down her spine.

She had seen countless skills up until now, and among them were some truly absurd ones.

Like Aso’s One Flash Heaven and Earth or Pokryong’s Destruction.

That’s why she had built up resistance to most things and wasn’t easily surprised.

But…?

Now she was truly shocked.

Her senses connected to the Golden Dragon warned her.

Something.

A power of a completely different dimension from what they knew… literally a type of force from another world.

Yes.

This was simply beyond specifications.

“E-everyone fall back!”

Before she could finish shouting, the summoned creatures were already backing away.

The team leaders approached.

“What was that just now?”

“Who was it? Who used that?”

“It wasn’t ours. That beam came from breaking through that door over there.”

Though confusion mounted in their heads, one thing was certain.

The end.

The final boss was dead.

Kwaaaaang!

The 70th Floor boss.

The Chaos Dragon, Jarbaan (S-grade) had fallen to the ground of Daejeon with a heavy sound.

“Wow.”

Rachel couldn’t believe it.

They had prepared extensively and come here with tremendous resolve, only for it to end this easily?

Though she hadn’t timed it, roughly two days had passed.

What had they actually done?

All they did was fight mid-level bosses in the early stages and face off with Jarbaan for a few hours.

‘I thought it would take at least three months.’

How much they had struggled wandering around that vast continent even on the 50th Floor.

[Eliminating 70th Floor boss, ‘Jarbaan’ (S-grade).]

“For real?”

“W-we got it!”

“We got iiiiit!”

“Wooooooooo!”

The Rankers let out cheers.

Though it was a short time, earlier their spines had truly run cold.

Especially the Rankers who had lost their protective barriers looked like they had narrowly escaped death.

It was like riding a roller coaster without a seatbelt, with someone next to you forcibly holding you down.

‘I almost really died.’

‘I almost went to the grave.’

If they had been even a moment later,

They almost wouldn’t have been able to see their families on Earth again.

But.

What exactly was that pitch-black beam just now?

[Congratulations!]

[You have conquered the 70th Floor of the Tower of Trials!]

There was no time to confirm its identity.

Pazzeuk!

With small sparks in their vision, the surrounding space began to disappear instantly as if it had been fake.

“It’s really over. Let’s all meet outside.”

Rachel muttered while looking at the rippling surroundings.

She had already experienced this when defeating the 60th Floor boss.

The phenomenon of being ejected from the Tower!

Of course, she was curious too.

‘What exactly was that beam?’

No matter how much she racked her brain, only one answer came to mind.

The only person in this world who pulls off extraordinary stunts.

Cheat of cheats!

‘Is it Jinugod again?’

Thwoom!

Simultaneously, her vision went dark.

* * *

Baek Jin-woo was also watching the same scene.

He too was flustered for different reasons.

[Eliminating 70th Floor boss, ‘Jarbaan’ (S-grade).]

[Congratulations!]

[You have conquered the 70th Floor of the Tower of Trials!]

Because he had seen this message.

What?

Then…

There was only one answer.

“You shot your breath from here and hit Jarbaan who wasn’t even visible?”

The fact that Jarbaan had appeared also meant the Rankers who entered the portal had cleared it.

Whether everyone was safe still remained to be confirmed.

Anyway.

The world had been destroyed, and only Baek Jin-woo and the Destruction Dragon remained here.

[A special privilege exists.]

As expected.

It was the same as with Eila.

[Summoned creatures that awaken in the Tower of Trials can choose a Player.]

[‘Destruction Dragon’ (EX-grade), please choose a Player.]

– Grrrr.

The Destruction Dragon, having elegantly eliminated Jarbaan through its breath, approached Baek Jin-woo.

Hesitating.

There was awkwardness in its eyes, but he knew what its gestures wanted.

“You want to be together?”

It seemed to be asking.

Is it okay even though we fought until now?

“Of course it’s okay.”

What’s there to say.

I enthusiastically welcome you, you bastard!

Rather, it would be a big problem if you didn’t come.

“Last time was short, but this time let’s continue our relationship for a long while.”

Swoosh.

Baek Jin-woo’s hand touched the top of the dragon’s head.

– Grrrrrr.

This time it wasn’t a roar but a rumbling.

A sign of satisfaction.

[‘Destruction Dragon’ (EX-grade) chooses Player ‘Baek Jin-woo’.]

[Will you accept?]

[Y/N]

Ah.

Finally.

The moment had come when Baek Jin-woo would find all the summoned creatures he had lost in Battle of Summoners.

From the first Ramba to the last Destruction Dragon.

Right.

Whether it’s some unknown god, transcendent being, administrator, whatever.

You took them away just to give them back like this now, right?

Originally he had been very disappointed, but now he felt somewhat relieved.

Battle of Summoners.

The game that had spent his adolescence with him, the game he had devoted almost his entire life to.

To him, this game was like another parent.

It gave him teachings, promoted his growth, formed relationships with people and summoned creatures…

‘Actually, back then I thought they were AI.’

Looking at it now, they weren’t AI.

It was another reality.

It’s still reality now too.

“Yes.”

Baek Jin-woo nodded his head.

Flash!

As light flowed out.

[Player ‘Baek Jin-woo’ has acquired summoned creature ‘Destruction Dragon’ (EX-grade)!]

At this moment.

It was the moment he obtained what could truly be called the strongest summoned creature.

* * *

After sending the 41-member ranker assault team to the Tower of Trials.

People all over the world lost sleep.

Any human being couldn’t help but feel anxious.

The survival of humanity depended on those 41 people.

‘Please come back alive…’

‘About half a year left from now, right?’

Extreme tension.

And fear.

All kinds of religions, prophets, and fortune tellers appeared to predict the success or failure of the assault team.

They came out to the streets, lit candles, and tried not to lose the thread of hope in despair.

Each country declared a state of emergency in preparation for the worst case.

Rachel had said.

If they failed to clear the Tower of Trials, the world would end.

They were preparing because they didn’t know what form that apocalypse would take.

They began inspecting air raid shelters in major cities and stockpiling water and food.

The broadcasts continuously featured the activities of the 41 people.

They had become complete heroes.

Heroes greater than the great figures who would remain in ancient history!

Especially Baek Jin-woo’s documentary rewrote the history of view counts.

It broke records daily with continuously increasing views.

People found comfort in their hearts watching his battle scenes.

Because such a strong Player was fighting to save humanity.

“A day has already passed!”

“Realistically, if they don’t come out within 3 months, we should prepare for the apocalypse, right?”

“Everyone, don’t worry too much! We have Aso! Did you all forget? That incredible power Aso showed during the league!”

“There’s Pokryong too! It’s in the documentary! Taking down the 60th floor boss in one hit! Would this time be any different?”

There were people who thought positively, but there were more negative people.

“Come on, no matter what… It’s called the Tower of Trials because it’s difficult, isn’t it? If it were easy, why would they have gathered an assault team! They would just go and boom! Clear it and come back. And frankly, if Aso or Pokryong really worked properly, would they still not be out yet? They would have come out long ago!”

“I agree. The 60th floor and 70th floor are different. Being optimistic is good, but we need to see reality properly. What if they really don’t come back? Will you take responsibility?”

That’s what humans are like.

Beings who can’t believe no matter how much you show them and constantly doubt.

That’s when it happened.

It was exactly 2 days and 20 more hours later…

[Ding!]

[‘Humanity’ conquers the 70th floor of the Tower of Trials.]

“Huh?”

“What…”

All of humanity was stunned.

70th floor clear.

No!

It’s good that they came out quickly, but…

This is too fast even if it’s faster than expected?

There were no experts on the Tower of Trials, but most predictions were at least a month.

But?

They’re coming out already?

“Heh, hehehehe.”

“See! I told you! Aso! Pokryong!”

“Where did that guy who said to see reality properly go? Come out right now. I’ll beat you up!”

[There are rewards based on contribution.]

[1. Baek Jin-woo (South Korea): 81.13%]

[2. Rachel Rose (United Kingdom): 2.52%]

[3. Yoshida Hikaru (Japan): 1.97%]

[4. William Jenos (United States): 1.88%]

…

Even the contribution ranking appeared in the sight of all humanity.

“Wow!”

“As expected, Baek Jin-woo!”

People came rushing out.

People outside who were holding candles also threw their candles high into the sky.

“Woooooooooooo!”

“Waaaaaaaaaaa!”

Fear completely disappeared.

With Baek Jin-woo being so reliable!

Why had they been scared all this time?

He cleared that dungeon in just two days when they had allocated a whole year for it?

“I knew it would be overwhelming!”

“If the 2nd and 3rd ranked are at that level… the 1st ranked is truly insane.”

“Everyone! We are currently living in the era of Baek Jin-woo!”

Pyung, pyuuung!

Fireworks exploded all across the nation.

They didn’t expect it to end so quickly, so they just used what they had prepared for demonstrations.

[The 70th Floor of the Tower of Trials is permanently sealed.]

Now humanity only had a total of 30 floors left ahead of them.

Though they say 30 floors…

At this rate, just three more entries and it would be over!

“Phew.”

Each of the Rankers also appeared in front of their respective countries’ Tower of Trials.

Korea, England, United States, Japan.

Rewards based on contribution arrived for them.

Baek Jin-woo also received his.

[Rewards are arriving.]

[You have obtained King’s Insignia (Bound).]

[You have obtained 81 Supreme Rune Selection Tickets (Bound).]

[You have obtained 2,430 Universal Grinding Stones.]

[You have obtained 450 Supreme Summoning Scrolls.]

[You have obtained 2 Ultimate Summoning Scrolls.]

[You have obtained 2,430 Light Essences.]

[You have obtained 2,430 Dark Essences.]

The rewards were similar to before.

Honestly, he didn’t really need them anymore.

And one more thing.

[Congratulations.]

[You are 1st place in contribution.]

[You have obtained Golden Key Fragment (1/3).]

Nice.

The same thing he got last time!

[Golden Key Fragment (2/3)]

[Grade: S-rank]

[When you collect 3 keys, something mysterious will happen.]

Now he had collected 2.

If he collected just one more…

What would happen?

After arriving, Baek Jin-woo didn’t just leave.

He entered the Tower of Trials Main Gate again to check if there were any floating notices.

Since it happened last time… he thought there might be one this time too.

And indeed.

Additional Tower of Trials Notice!

1. When challenging the 71st Floor, missions will continue until the 80th Floor.

2. Humanity must conquer the 80th Floor within 1 year from the time of this notice. (Time remaining: 365 days 0 hours)

3. Upon failure, humanity’s extinction is confirmed.

4. Maximum participants: 20 people (Only those who have cleared the 70th Floor of the Tower of Trials may enter.)

A new notice was floating there.

And with the maximum number of people drastically reduced.
