I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 224

Small Giant (2)

Beyond 1 kyeong to 10 kyeong, 100 kyeong…

It was just going up endlessly without any limit.

It was to the point where he wondered if this even made sense.

Baek Jin-woo began to think carefully about what could have happened.

Then there was exactly one summoned creature that came to mind.

“Mayeo?”

– Master! Master! Master!

As soon as he summoned her, she desperately searched for him.

– How is it, meow! Are the kids being recognized well, meow? Did it increase a lot, meow!

“So it was you after all?”

– Don’t ask the obvious, meow!

“Uh… It’s still increasing right now? It’s already 120 kyeong.”

– Kyeong? Kekekek! As expected!

Mayeo laughed as if satisfied.

By the way, ‘kekekek’ seemed to be imitating the witches’ ‘kekekek’ laughter.

– Praise the greatness of this witch, meow! I’ve now reached the level where I can cast spells even on microorganisms! Kekekek!

“…Microorganisms.”

Baek Jin-woo made an absurd expression.

“Microorganisms recognize something? Those things that don’t even have brains?”

– Oh my! Why do you think so narrowly, meow! Microorganisms also have instincts that allow them to feel the world and respond to stimuli, meow!

“Is, is that so?”

To dismiss it as nonsensical logic, it was actually continuing to increase.

At this rate, what’s kyeong.

Could it even reach hae?

– Master, microorganisms have sensory and response systems for survival even without brains or recognition systems, meow. For example, following light, or moving toward nutrients! In other words, it’s a very simple matter of using spells to imprint on their instincts to follow Jakgeo, meow!

“Uh… Is, is that so?”

Baek Jin-woo, being a liberal arts major, didn’t know what that meant.

And honestly!

Even science majors probably wouldn’t know what that means, right?

Well.

She’s a cat that can even help summon Destruction Dragons with spells, so what can’t she do!

– This was really a good idea, meow! From now on, microorganisms will unconsciously spread the instinct to follow Jakgeo, meow! Isn’t it amazing, meow? This is the connection with Mother Nature, meow!

“Wow.”

Clap clap clap.

Baek Jin-woo clapped his hands in admiration.

Yeah, whatever the details are, who cares!

Swoooosh!

As long as the numbers keep going up!

Baek Jin-woo immediately called Yu Ji-a.

He informed her that the Jakgeo project could be stopped as of now.

8 billion people?

That’s an infinitely small number compared to microorganisms.

Microorganisms are divided into viruses, bacteria, protozoa, etc…

Usually, in 1 liter of river water, there are at least 100,000 and at most up to 100 million distributed.

By the way, that’s 1 liter, 1 liter.

That many are contained in water smaller than a large water bottle.

“Well done, well done.”

– Do you acknowledge it now, meow? I’m the most useful to Master, meow!

“When did I ever not acknowledge it? You’re the best, Mayeo.”

– Kekekekek!

She flopped over and laughed.

Is she that happy?

It seemed like he should give her more praise from now on.

She’s been doing really well with work lately.

“Let’s just go around with Aso and cast spells in rivers all over the world. If we’re going to do it, we should do it properly.”

– Just leave it to me, meow!

At this point, he was curious.

If they really got serious about it, how much could they collect in a month?

At this rate, won’t Jakgeo surpass even Destruction Dragon?

– But!

“Hm?”

– There’s a condition, meow!

Mayeo stretched out her index finger and shouted.

“A condition? What is it.”

– That potion you gave to Jakgeo this time! Give it to me too, meow!

“Ah, that? The awakening potion?”

– Surely you’re not such a shameless master who would be stingy with one potion after I made such a great discovery for you, right, meow?

“No way, no way.”

Baek Jin-woo had always been clear about rewards and punishments since the Battle of Summoners days.

Having such motivation makes summoned creatures work harder, after all.

“Are you going to drink it?”

– That’s one thing, but…

Grin.

Mayeo smiled.

– I want to research that potion once, meow!

Ten kyeong, hundred kyeong, thousand kyeong, hae, ten hae, hundred hae, thousand hae, ja, ten ja, hundred ja, thousand ja…

Baek Jin-woo, who had come home, leaned back on the sofa and blankly stared at the numbers rising before his eyes.

“Ja… What comes after ja…?”

The numbers had now far exceeded the units he knew.

Honestly, he only learned about units beyond hae this time.

Mayeo’s spell was truly at an insane level!

The reproduction of microorganisms in river water was uncontrollable.

They spread to rivers, atmosphere, soil, and even the ocean while imprinted with Jakgeo’s energy.

[Number of recognizing entities – 966,463,433,265,673,542,313,618,400,004]

Was this even a realistic number?

Probably with enough time, it would rise to near infinity.

And.

[Number of recognizing entities – 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999]

Tick.

At some point, the numbers stopped.

How much is this.

Ugh.

I don’t even want to count it.

Let’s just skip it.

[Exceeds the system’s allowable range.]

Oh.

Baek Jin-woo was more amazed that the system had set the allowable range up to that point.

Did they think this would be possible?

Mayeo too, the system too, is so~ amazing, amazing!

[The ‘Small Giant’ (EX-grade) Quest is automatically cleared!]

[Conditions are met.]

[The ‘Small Giant’ (EX-grade) awakens within the maximum range it allows!]

– Grwooooooooo!

The Small Giant roared.

Its size remained the same, but that roar was no longer small.

Kurururururu!

The resonance was enough to create vibrations.

Kwung!

Faintly glowing runes were carved into the rough rocky surface of its stepping feet.

Its presence and weight were truly overwhelming.

If it had a gentle feeling before, now it had a different kind of aura?

– Woooah! Is that Jakgeo?

– It’s cool.

The summoned creatures admired its appearance.

Shall I take a look at its status window?

Starting with the awakening.

[Summoned Creature: Small Giant]

[Race: Golem]

[Grade: EX-grade (Isolation Judgment) (Awakened)]

– Isolated due to balance-breaking elements found in specific situations.

– All enemies target the Small Giant for attacks, and it reduces incoming damage by 99.99%.

– Once per day, when HP drops below half, it becomes invincible for 10 seconds and recovers HP back to maximum.

“…”

No.

Wait, what?

Huh?

Is this right?

Baek Jin-woo’s jaw dropped.

Even if EX-grade is overpowered, there should be limits… Isn’t this really ridiculous!

99.99% damage reduction?

It basically won’t die, and on top of that, it recovers HP when it drops.

Hehe.

Hehehehe.

Plus 100% area aggro?

“But wait.”

Would Jakgeo’s skills be useful then?

[Possessed Skills]

– Indomitable: Recovers 20% of incoming damage as HP.

– Magic Absorption: Recovers 20% of incoming damage as MP.

These are Jakgeo’s skills, but even with a 40% effect from the Will rune set, if the incoming damage is low, wouldn’t the recovery amount be small too?

‘Wait.’

This is a difference in calculation mechanisms.

What if incoming damage is calculated first, then the awakening effect and skills are applied respectively?

That would be truly ridiculous overpowered.

Damage comes in reduced by 99.99%, but the recovery amount would be enormous, making it an unkillable damage sponge.

To reverse-summon Jakgeo?

You’d need damage greater than maximum HP to hit in one shot!

On the other hand.

If the incoming damage itself comes in with the awakening effect applied, while Indomitable might be fine, Magic Absorption’s MP recovery could become extremely low.

‘Then Dampir’s healing becomes a problem.’

Dampir’s skill is.

[Possessed Skills]

– Drain: Uses others’ MP as a source to heal both the target and itself.

Since it uses Jakgeo’s MP, if the latter case applies, Dampir itself would become useless.

“For now, let’s experiment.”

Baek Jin-woo hurriedly entered a nearby dungeon.

And then.

“Jakgeo, Pokryong, Dampir.”

He called out the three.

HP: 1,610,000/1,610,000

This is Jakgeo’s current HP.

“Pokryong. Would Annihilation finish Jakgeo in one hit?”

– Probably?

– Grwo!

Thud!

Jakgeo showed fighting spirit as if saying go ahead and try.

No matter how strong the damage, it’s 99.99% damage reduction!

It was a gesture asking how could it be finished in one hit.

“No, right now we’re not checking how sturdy it is, but looking at the calculations first. First, Dampir.”

– Yeah.

“Try using up Jakgeo’s MP completely.”

– Got it.

Wooooong!

Green light began rising around Dampir’s body, and Jakgeo’s MP was drained.

It kept draining until it reached 0.

MP: 0/460,000

Good, now.

“Pokryong.”

– Yes, Jin-woo.

“Give it a gentle scratch.”

– Yes.

Hwarararak!

Pokryong Faction’s ‘Transform’ changed into a finger shape, then lightly scratched Jakgeo with its index fingernail.

HP: 1,600,000/1,610,000

That one hit took away 10,000 HP, then it returned to full HP in just a few seconds.

“Oh.”

At least it recovers?

That means?

The former is likely the case.

‘By the way.’

That was amazing.

That much damage from just a light scratch?

Since it’s 99.99% reduction…

0.01% equals 10,000.

That means the original damage was 100,000,000.

‘…100 million.’

Wow.

Pokryong really is overpowered.

“Huh?”

And then.

MP:460,000/460,000

With that one hit, his MP was completely filled.

“Wow!”

This confirmed it was definitely the former.

If it had been the latter?

With 10,000 damage and 40%, only 4,000 should have been restored.

But being completely filled meant that 40% of 100 million damage, which is 40,000,000, had been restored.

Truly an overwhelming over-recovery!

“…Jakgeo.”

You’ve really become ridiculously overpowered.

The reason one awakening could make him this overpowered was probably… thanks to Mayeo.

To think of making microorganisms recognize Jakgeo.

“Phew.”

Now I can say this with certainty.

Tower of Trials 100th floor?

We can push forward and clear it with this team.

It would be strange if we couldn’t clear it.

I almost want to rush straight through like this.

‘But.’

Can we do it with just Jakgeo alone?

There were still more awakening potions to use.

He had given one to Mayeo for research purposes, and would be able to purchase the remaining 3 in three months.

Right.

Since we’re at it, let’s awaken everyone before we go.

Baek Jin-woo put aside all his schedules and set out to hunt Three-Headed Dragons again.

Going in the opposite direction from Aso’s route and swiftly dealing with them.

In just another month, he achieved the feat of destroying every existing Three-Headed Dragon.

[Baek Jin-woo Rewrites Legend! Humanity’s Savior!]

[All Chaos Dragons Annihilated! The Whole World Rejoices!]

[We Live in the Era of the Hero, Baek Jin-woo!]

It wasn’t particularly for humanity’s sake.

He just wanted to quickly obtain awakening potions.

After catching them all, his points accumulated to 40,000 again and he swept up all the remaining awakening potions.

With the leftover change?

He purchased 5 each of Eternal Snow Ginseng and Azure Stone Oil.

“Now.”

It’s time to use the awakening potions again.

But who this time?

Baek Jin-woo gathered all his summoned creatures together once more.
