I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 217

Raid-exclusive Shop

All nations declared a state of emergency once again.

Monsters appeared in major cities accompanied by intense earthquakes!

When the appearance of Three-Headed Dragons was reported, relevant departments and major guilds were urgently dispatched to the scene.

– Kroaaaaaaaaaaa!

The massive dragon silhouette looming in the sky instantly trampled buildings and began devastating the city by breathing black beams.

The scene was pure chaos!

Korea was no exception.

News that Chaos Dragons had simultaneously appeared in Seoul and Busan brought tension to its peak.

“…Insane.”

Baek Jin-woo frowned.

He had expected a raid patch, but he never thought they’d introduce it this way.

This is basically telling everyone to die, isn’t it?

“Oh no! I think I need to return home immediately!”

Rachel, who received the call, moved frantically.

“I’m going too.”

“Damn it. In Japan’s case, four appeared. Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Nagoya… Jinugod. Can you help us right after handling your country’s situation? Anyway, I’m going too!”

All three hurriedly exchanged farewells and scattered to their respective countries.

In Korea’s case?

“Destruction Dragon.”

Its eyes flashed bright red.

Its level was still low and no runes were equipped, but… did it understand its master’s intention?

Whoosh!

It immediately flew through the sky.

This was Hanam.

The target would be in Jamsil, roughly 13 kilometers away.

“Will you be okay?”

– Grrrr!

The creature nodded and without hesitation opened its mouth wide with a crack!

Skwaaaaaaaaaa!

It shot out a black beam.

Destruction Breath!

Ah, it was like this before too.

This breath…

Has limitations.

Nothing major, but it can only be used once a day.

No matter how crazy the Battle of Summoners developers are, they wouldn’t have made it possible to use something like this every moment of every day… Actually, no.

Those bastards just don’t think.

Anyway, yeah.

‘But still.’

It fired without any hesitation like that?

Don’t tell me it hit the Three-Headed Dragon from here?

That would be truly amazing…

Swish.

He took out his phone to check the live broadcast situation.

Boom!

The scene of one of the Three-Headed Dragon’s heads exploding from that beam was being broadcast.

‘Wow.’

Baek Jin-woo was genuinely amazed.

It actually hit?

Swoooooosh…!

The Destruction Dragon, having fired the beam once, coolly arranged its wings as if it was nothing.

The only slightly disappointing thing was that it only hit one head.

It would have been nice if it pierced through the body and killed it in one shot, but the distance was quite far from the start so the zeroing adjustment probably didn’t work well.

Even considering that, it’s incredible.

The probability of shooting something and hitting it from 13 kilometers away?

Almost none.

Even Precision Sheriff (A-rank) probably couldn’t do it.

Even the slightest deviation would miss by dozens of meters, so how could that work?

Especially against a moving target.

Ding!

[Hong Ari: Guild Master.]

A text came from Hong Ari.

As soon as news of the Three-Headed Dragon’s appearance broke, she led the guild members and moved to headquarters.

[Hong Ari: Headquarters is providing helicopter support. Haeundae is in chaos first, so we’ll go ahead by ourselves. Guild Master, please finish cleaning up Jamsil.]

Since victims were still appearing at this moment, it was an unavoidable choice.

Let’s quickly clean up Korea first.

The world?

Think about that later!

First, there was one fortunate thing.

The Three-Headed Dragon’s power wasn’t as tremendous as expected!

It was weaker than the Thunder Dragon they faced at the beginning of this Tower of Trials.

‘The ten-fold buff disappeared.’

Whether it was due to difficulty adjustment, or originally strong creatures got nerfed when coming to Earth, he didn’t know…

The current Chaos Dragon was exactly the difficulty level he felt in the old Battle of Summoners.

In other words, it wasn’t impossible to catch if top rankers from each country joined forces.

Of course, this was based on top-tier countries, and mid-tier and below countries were just devastated.

Still, you need to be at least at the level of barely making the world rankings to catch it, otherwise you absolutely can’t catch that thing, so what can you do.

It’s just despair.

First.

Jamsil was quickly cleaned up.

“Whoa!”

“Look over there!”

“It’s a black dragon!”

Sorry, but Sky Wyvern had now fulfilled its utility as a mount.

Baek Jin-woo, who appeared riding the Destruction Dragon, unleashed attacks toward the Chaos Dragon without hesitation.

Crack!

The Destruction Dragon bit off one neck.

Slash!

Aso sliced off the remaining neck.

That was the end!

He really finished it in an instant.

Cheers from the public who were filming the scene could be heard.

“Woooooooooo!”

“It’s Baek Jin-woo!”

“We’re saved, we’re saved!”

[You defeat ‘Chaos Dragon’ (S-rank).]

[Your contribution is 99%.]

[You gain 99 shop points.]

Oh.

Shop points?

It’s a coin concept that can be used in the ‘Raid-exclusive Shop’.

This was a system that existed in Battle of Summoners too… Back then, what was it, when you opened the VIP shop, they gave first-come-first-served limited items? Something like that.

‘I should check this out too.’

There’s no guarantee the items will be the same as back then.

How much time had passed like that?

[Hong Ari: Guild master.]

[Hong Ari: Finished dealing with Busan too. Hey, it was manageable when we worked together, wasn’t it?]

The Busan side was also cleared faster than expected.

Thanks to the helicopter dispatched from headquarters, the rankers were able to reach Busan in just an hour and a half, and they managed to clear it in about 30 minutes after arrival.

In the case of the Chaos Dragon, no special strategy is needed.

Since it’s an incredibly huge creature, teams just need to take one head each and focus on beating it down.

Thanks to that.

South Korea became the country that cleared the raid mobs at the fastest speed.

The problem was…

Tremendous rescue requests were pouring into the South Korean government.

Especially to Yubaek, which Baek Jin-woo belonged to.

Thanks to that, the company’s secretary office was suffering from the constantly ringing phone bells.

“The phone keeps ringing!”

“Do we have to keep answering these? They’re just asking for help without any context!”

“Just unplug the phone line!”

Endlessly ringing phones and arriving wireless official documents.

By the way, no one except guild members knows Baek Jin-woo’s phone number.

All communication is handled exclusively by the management company Yubaek.

Worried that someone might find out his phone number, Yu Ji-a had even posted a notice on the homepage.

Don’t contact him.

If you contact him unnecessarily, even things that could work out won’t.

That’s why the company is suffering.

Knock knock.

Yu Ji-a’s office.

When she was reviewing documents in the sunlight streaming through the glass window, the door was lightly knocked.

“President?”

“Yes, come in.”

The one who opened the door and entered was the newly appointed Secretary Manager.

Her name was Namgung Seo-yun.

A woman one year younger than Yu Ji-a, who was from the same university as her.

They were acquainted.

Since she was from such an elite background, Yu Ji-a had been keeping an eye on her, and when she sent the former secretaries Kim Byeong-jin and Hwang Tae-seop to subsidiary companies as presidents, she immediately scouted her.

Naturally, Namgung Seo-yun was delighted, saying she hit the jackpot.

Being invited to become a member of Yubaek, the world’s top company – how could she refuse?

Of course, she quit her job and came running barefoot.

It’s a company that lacks nothing in terms of salary, honor, retirement security, and more.

Moreover?

By working hard beside Yu Ji-a, she could even receive operating rights and shares in expansion businesses.

It was truly an invitation to join the royal family.

“Um… There’s a visitor outside.”

“A visitor?”

“He says he’s the National Intelligence Service First Deputy Director.”

“Huh? National Intelligence Service?”

Suddenly?

Yu Ji-a slightly frowned.

Actually, intelligence organizations from various countries around the world, the National Intelligence Service, headquarters, and Yubaek maintain close communication.

They also share information when necessary.

Honestly, Yubaek probably handles more information than the National Intelligence Service.

This was once a guild that even formed blood alliances with the former Big 5.

But?

With the National Intelligence Service, they usually only exchanged official documents.

Everything else was done through headquarters or other channels.

“From what I can see, it seems to be related to the North.”

“The North?”

“Since the world became like this, it’s been left unresolved, but we’re actually still legally at war, just in a ceasefire, aren’t we?”

“Ah.”

That’s right, well.

What country would dare to mess with South Korea now…

That’s why it’s been really quiet lately.

In the old days, they used to send balloons filled with filth and such.

Ugh, really.

My blood pressure is rising.

“Actually, well, it’s a war that won’t happen.”

“Probably because there are so many countries making love calls lately and we couldn’t reply to official documents, they came directly. We’ve been too busy, after all.”

“Ah, so they came in person?”

“Yes.”

“Tell them to come in.”

Since they came in person.

What can I say, let’s at least hear what they have to say.

At that moment.

Baek Jin-woo, who had defeated the Three-Headed Dragon, entered the Jamsil Player Zone again.

There was a new building standing there.

Anyone could see that was the ‘Raid-exclusive Shop’!

Click!

He immediately opened the door and went in.

Like the existing Synthesis Facility or Strengthening Room, when you entered there was a counter and individual rooms lined up from the upper floors…

As expected, the quick-acting headquarters.

They had already stationed staff there.

“Oh, Player Baek Jin-woo…!”

“Can I go in and use one?”

“Of, of course! It’s an honor!”

The staff member bows at a right angle.

The inside of the building was quiet.

There was no need to wait in line.

“You can enter any room. When I tried opening one earlier, it said you need at least 10 points to enter.”

“Really?”

That’s content that wasn’t there before?

That’s probably why the inside of the building is so quiet.

Swoosh.

When he grabbed the door handle, it really was like that.

[Current shop point score: 99]

[Conditions are met.]

[Door is opening.]

Click!

The locked door opened.

Oh.

This is getting exciting?

As he entered the empty room, a new message appeared in his vision.

Raid-exclusive Shop is now open.

Please refer to the following list!

1. Universal Polish x 100 – 1 point

2. Universal Polish x 100 – 1 point

3. Light Essence x 100 – 1 point

4. Dark Essence x 100 – 1 point

….

7. Random Scroll x 1 – 1 point

8. Supreme Rune Selection Ticket x 1 – 1 point

9. Supreme Summoning Scroll x 1 – 1 point

10. Ultimate Summoning Scroll x 1 – 10 points

….

On and on and on!

It was incredibly long.

He had to scroll down, and it seemed like he could buy roughly the same rewards available from the Tower of Trials here.

‘But.’

There wasn’t anything particularly appealing.

Everything was overflowing.

What Baek Jin-woo wanted were limited, high-performance items he could buy.

Like limited summoned creatures, or limited unique runes that couldn’t be crafted.

As he scrolled all the way down to the very last item, number 30….

….

30. VIP Shop Access – 1,000 points

….

As expected.

They won’t give it away easily, huh?

The really ‘good stuff’ is probably all hidden in there.

Like that A-rank unique doll he tried to buy before.

There’s only one per server, and originally Baek Jin-woo was going to use it himself, but lately his thinking had changed.

‘Why would I use a summoned creature that I have to control myself?’

When I have our Destruction Dragon.

I’ll just get it and give it to Song Yeon-hee.

Since she handles dolls the best.

“Hmm.”

Baek Jin-woo nodded his head.

‘For now.’

The shop had a different composition and system from the original Battle of Summoners.

It didn’t matter.

Since he was overwhelmingly ahead in skill among Players anyway…. He just needed to check first and claim the good stuff.

In other words, save!

Let’s conserve points.

He’d just travel around the world collecting points.

Baek Jin-woo closed the shop and stepped outside without hesitation.

And at that moment.

Zing!

A text message arrived.

[Yu Ji-a: I think you need to come for a moment?]

Yu Ji-a’s summons.

What is it?

[Yu Ji-a: Someone from the National Intelligence Service is here, and I think Jin-woo needs to make a choice.]

What?

National Intelligence Service?

What’s going on?
