I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 222

VVIP Shop

The situation ended quickly.

And.

If you had eyes and ears, it was obvious who had brought this situation to an end.

It was only a short day, but…

Videos of Aso striking the launch facility began appearing all over the world.

Title: I was a soldier from the North.

Nickname: Hamgyeong Naengmyeon (Lv.1)

Content: I’m not anymore, but… What I captured in my video today was truly indescribable wonder. I found out it was a summoned creature called Aso! Every time he swung that wooden sword, the air would tear and launch pads would explode – my heart was trembling.

Comrade Baek Jin-woo is ranked first in the world, right?

The reason I’m writing this is simply to express my gratitude.

Aso didn’t harm us. Not a single soldier was hurt. He just destroyed the launch pads, nodded once, and disappeared like the wind. That sight was like wind itself.

Aso… I don’t think I’ll ever forget that name. And it made me think about my homeland again. I learned today that those with great power never harm innocent people. And we got internet access too – ha, really. It wasn’t the world but our homeland that was deceiving us…! There was so much I didn’t know.

There weren’t just one or two.

As the people who experienced Aso posted their stories one by one, Baek Jin-woo’s status rose along with them.

[Truly overwhelming firepower! Not a single casualty!]

[Korea’s asymmetric power that neutralizes with just a wooden sword!]

Articles appeared.

CNN, BBC, and AFP all praised Baek Jin-woo.

They said he changed the paradigm of existing warfare and presented new standards for world peace?

Even North Korean soldiers were showing reverence for him, saying it felt like the ideology hardened by long brainwashing was slowly melting like ice.

Also, absorption unification proceeded rapidly.

China, Russia, United States, Japan?

No one could object to Article 3 of South Korea’s Constitution.

Article 3: The territory of the Republic of Korea consists of the Korean Peninsula and its attached islands.

They didn’t even make any position statements or anything.

They just kept their distance on their own.

Especially after seeing Aso strike multiple regions simultaneously in just one minute as if using clone techniques in this pinpoint strike, even nuclear powers had to bow down and tremble.

‘This is amazing.’

Thousand-Mile Meteor could truly be considered the ultimate movement technique.

Just by kicking off the ground, he could reach anywhere he wanted – if that wasn’t overpowered, what was?

Raid speed would increase too.

‘Unification and all that.’

Baek Jin-woo had no time to worry about such things.

With the problem of humanity’s end resting on his shoulders, what unification?

That was now homework for the government and the people of North and South to solve together, not something for him to get involved in.

– Master.

When he returned to the training ground, Hunkyo approached.

“Yeah.”

– With Aso reaching Thousand-Mile Meteor, another path has opened. Now you’ll be able to learn swordsmanship of an even higher dimension.

“Huh.”

My goodness.

“There’s swordsmanship even more advanced than that?”

– Of course, Master. For movement techniques, Dimension Sprint and Instant Light Step remain. For swordsmanship, there’s Flash Annihilation, Transcendent Severance, Galaxy Pursuit Sword, Infinite Flash, Primordial Destruction Path, Heavenly Outer Heaven Sword, and so on… Countless techniques.

“Crazy.”

Wuji Immortal, that person…

No, what kind of being was that immortal?

How could he possess so many skills that sounded overpowered just from their names?

– Since you succeeded with Thousand-Mile Meteor this time, how about I teach you Meteor Sword Dance?

“What’s Meteor Sword Dance?”

– I can’t show you, but to explain simply, the moment you swing your sword, it delivers bombardment as if thousands of meteors are falling. If One Flash Heaven Earth is swordsmanship that cuts single targets, Meteor Sword Dance can display overwhelming power in large-scale battles.

“…Wait.”

Baek Jin-woo made an incredulous expression.

“One Flash Heaven Earth is swordsmanship for cutting single targets?”

That One Flash Heaven Earth?

The technique that cuts earth and sky?

Actually, in this league too, he had finished off all participants with One Flash Heaven Earth.

– I don’t know either. But the Wuji Immortal in my subconscious definitely said so. That One Flash Heaven Earth is martial arts for single targets. Maybe the scale we’re thinking of is different from his.

Ah.

Aah.

Scale.

Right.

One Flash Heaven Earth was originally martial arts for cutting planets.

In other words, it should be viewed cosmically.

In that vast, endless universe, Earth and mere humans are just specks of dust… So it makes sense that they could be devastated by single-target attacks.

‘This is getting a bit scary.’

It was a kind of inductive reasoning.

The fact that such martial arts exist?

Couldn’t that mean there are targets that require such martial arts?

There’s no way they would have created such martial arts without targets to use them on.

‘And.’

The researchers from the Cadia Empire who studied Chimeras had said.

That Destruction Dragons suddenly fell from the sky in ancient times.

That they were different from ordinary dragons and were beings of unknown origin.

“Hunkyo.”

– Yes, Master.

“Is there nothing about Destruction Dragon?”

You said before.

That tremendous subconsciousness was stirring inside Destruction Dragon.

– Hmm.

Hunkyo closed his eyes.

He held his chin and kept searching through his mind, then shook his head.

– The subconsciousness is high, but I don’t know what to teach.

“Really?”

– Yes, strangely there’s no information at all. Originally, summoned creatures should have their own stories or traumas… Or skills that would be good to learn.

“Nothing at all?”

– Just nothingness. I can’t see anything.

“Huh.”

Come to think of it, that’s right.

Each summoned creature had their own background.

From what he could see, those backgrounds seemed to be based on inside the Tower of Trials…

‘I need to dig deeper.’

Baek Jin-woo’s eyes lit up.

Since the Battle of Summoners days, he couldn’t stand seeing hidden information.

When curiosity arose, he had to dig into everything and experience it all to feel satisfied.

– Squeeeeeal!

“Huh?”

What?

Did he just hear what sounded like a pig being slaughtered from somewhere?

“Hunkyo, did you hear that?”

– It sounds like it’s coming from outside.

“Let’s go check.”

He went outside immediately.

While the summoned creatures released in the grasslands were each diligently training or resting.

– Oink! Squeeeal!

Over there, look.

Three pigs could be seen where Mayeo was.

“What’s that?”

As Baek Jin-woo approached.

– Eek!

Mayeo quickly hid the three pigs somewhere.

“What’s going on?”

– N-nothing at all, meow!

“I heard pig sounds. I saw actual pigs too.”

– Ahaha! I’ve been getting into new research lately, meow. You know that thing, meow?

“What thing.”

– Pigs and humans evolutionarily diverged from the same mammalian lineage, meow.

“…?”

– So their basic genetic structure and physiological mechanisms are similar, meow! The heart, lungs, and liver sizes are similar too, making them great for research, meow!

“Ah.”

Baek Jin-woo nodded.

He seemed to have heard that before.

Humans and pigs share nearly 98% genetic similarity.

“So you were using pigs for sorcery research?”

– That’s right, meow!

“Huh, okay.”

Mayeo too, well.

She’d handle things well on her own.

Baek Jin-woo decided not to worry about it further.

There were too many things to worry about to control every little detail.

‘First.’

He should quickly handle the raids before challenging the Tower of Trials again.

Time flowed steadily.

As Aso mastered Thousand-Mile Meteor, Baek Jin-woo’s progress truly gained wings.

Heads of state from around the world who still hadn’t dealt with the Three-Headed Dragons stopped by South Korea.

More precisely, Yubaek in Hanam City, South Korea!

There, they briefed Aso.

They shared the cities’ locations and exact coordinates, and then?

Swoosh!

He would quickly handle them through Thousand-Mile Meteor.

In Baek Jin-woo’s case, there was no need to move around.

He just ate meals and trained as usual, and points accumulated automatically.

10,000 points?

It took exactly one week to accumulate.

That meant Aso had killed over 100 Three-Headed Dragons in one week.

Since points had accumulated, he naturally had to go open the shop.

[Current Shop Point Score: 10,879]

[Conditions are met.]

[The door opens.]

Jamsil, Player Zone.

He entered the Raid-exclusive Shop.

….

50. VVIP Shop Opening – 10,000 points

….

He immediately purchased the 10,000-point item.

This shop would probably….

Only Baek Jin-woo would be able to see it from now on, wouldn’t it?

No matter how skilled the Three Emperors were, they couldn’t match Aso’s speed….

Even if they respawned, it would be the same.

Baek Jin-woo had no intention of yielding points.

He had to catch even one more to buy Eternal Snow Ginseng or Azure Oil to feed his summoned creatures.

VVIP Shop is now open.

Please refer to the following list!

This list consists entirely of limited editions!

Don’t miss this opportunity!

1. Awakening Potion (Limited) – 10,000 points

2. Awakening Potion (Limited) – 10,000 points

3. Awakening Potion (Limited) – 10,000 points

4. Awakening Potion (Limited) – 10,000 points

5. Awakening Potion (Limited) – 10,000 points

The VVIP Shop’s list was simple.

Five Awakening Potions.

All of them limited editions.

Purchasing those five would mean he could never buy Awakening Potions from the shop again.

‘Ah.’

Baek Jin-woo’s body trembled as he looked at the list.

Awakening Potions.

He could tell without purchasing or reading the description.

They would awaken summoned creatures.

It was truly perfect timing.

Awakening was exactly what Baek Jin-woo needed most, and it appeared just like this.

‘I absolutely have to buy them all.’

Currently awakened summoned creatures?

Only three.

Hunkyo, Eila, Destruction Dragon.

Then what about Ramba, Pokryong, and Doldoli?

They didn’t awaken but opened their subconscious.

In Ramba’s case, she gained a skill called ‘Cream Bread Memories’, and Pokryong opened True Predation.

Doldoli also just gained a skill called ‘Phantom Division’.

As mentioned several times, subconscious opening and ‘awakening’ are strictly different.

You couldn’t say which was better, but awakening usually felt much more overpowered.

Another week passed.

Aso collected 10,000 points for him, and Baek Jin-woo immediately purchased Awakening Potion #1.

The number of Three-Headed Dragons wasn’t a problem.

They appeared in numbers equal to Player Zones worldwide, so by simple calculation, there were over 1,000 of them.

[Awakening Potion (Limited)]

[Grade: S-rank]

[When consumed by a summoned creature, they acquire an Awakening Quest.]

“Huh.”

Now this.

The question is who to feed it to.

Ramba, Pokryong, Dampir, Jakgeo, Doldoli, Runde, Aso, Mayeo.

I have to choose one of these eight.

– Master, I wouldn’t recommend Aso.

“Right.”

Feeding that awakening agent doesn’t mean they’ll awaken.

It gives them an awakening Quest.

In other words, it tells them how to awaken…

Actually, Aso would be meaningless.

‘Since I already know.’

Aso needs to master all the Wuji Immortal’s skills.

It’s somewhat absurd and a breathtakingly difficult condition, but that’s reality.

“Honestly, I’d prefer Pokryong.”

Baek Jin-woo knows.

That his summoned creatures have gained worldwide popularity and even have fan clubs.

And that among them, ‘Pokya’ has secured the most fans.

‘Aso has gotten too strong lately, so I should boost Pokryong a bit too.’

– Master.

Hunkyo shook her head.

– Realistically speaking, judging your current combat power, you have sufficient damage output.

“That’s true.”

– I believe awakening Jakgeo first would be the best decision.

“Jakgeo? Why?”

– As I mentioned before, in Jakgeo’s case, countless ages must pass to learn about potential ability unlocking or awakening conditions. The problem is that those ages are an unimaginably long period from our perspective.

“How long?”

– At minimum hundreds of years, at worst thousands of years.

“Huh.”

– Because that’s just a fleeting moment for a rock.

Since it’s hard to know the conditions, use the awakening agent here to extract those conditions?

That’s not bad?

Good.

If Hunkyo is saying that much, I should listen.

Baek Jin-woo nodded.

“Okay, let’s go with Jakgeo.”
