I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 225

Awakening Summoned Creatures (1)

“Phew.”

Training Grounds.

Baek Jin-woo, sitting peacefully in a circle with his summoned creatures, let out a shallow sigh.

It felt surreal.

In the past, when he obtained such ridiculous overpowered awakenings, his heart would race like crazy.

‘But.’

Now it was getting slightly scary.

It was the inductive reasoning he had mentioned before.

If the system was giving out such powerful abilities, it might mean equally powerful opponents would appear.

Of course, nothing was certain.

Maybe Baek Jin-woo was just exceptionally lucky and becoming abnormally strong like some kind of mutation.

He’d rather that be the case.

‘For now, if they’re giving it out, I’ll take it.’

It was better to get stronger while he could.

“Alright.”

Baek Jin-woo placed three awakening potions on the ground.

“I gave one to Mayeo for research purposes, so we need to decide how to distribute these three.”

– Me!

Ramba immediately raised her hand.

– Obviously this Ramba should get one, right? Honestly speaking, I’m the most senior! How dare some rookie like Jakgeo get one first when— ow, my stomach…

– Gwor?

Jakgeo scratched his head as if feeling wronged.

It had just been Hunkyo’s recommendation.

– Meow…

Mayeo also turned her gaze elsewhere and hummed.

– Hey, that’s not right! I should get one first!

Pokryong also raised his hand and stepped forward.

– Honestly, if we’re talking about combat contributions, wouldn’t I be first priority? Hwang Ji-woo said that most people consider Aso and me to be Jin-woo’s right and left arms.

– What are you talking about!

Ramba flared up.

– Without me, Jin-woo wouldn’t have made it this far! Do you know how overpowered the attack speed stacking was in the early days!

Sparks flew between the two summoned creatures’ eyes.

‘Oh.’

Surprisingly, these awakening potions were quite popular.

It was probably because they had witnessed Jakgeo’s incredible transformation right before their eyes.

“First.”

Should he narrow down which summoned creatures needed awakening potions?

Hunkyo, Jakgeo, Eila, and Destruction Dragon were already awakened.

Seven remained.

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

Excluding Aso since she was busy training, and Mayeo since she already got one?

Ramba, Pokryong, Dampir, Doldoli, Runde.

Three of these five could receive awakening potions.

Two would have to wait for later.

That’s why sparks were flying in their eyes.

To what extent?

– Me.

Even Dampir, who was usually quiet, raised his hand.

– If Jakgeo got one. I should get one too. Balance. Right.

– Kreuk, kreurreuk!

Doldoli also spun his scythe with burning passion.

– Hehe, Master. Aren’t you curious? What I might be able to create and provide once I, who can make runes, awaken?

Runde also crossed his arms and his eyes gleamed.

“Oh.”

Baek Jin-woo looked at Runde.

“Runde makes a pretty convincing argument?”

– Hehehe, exactly! While the others would just get stronger themselves, look at Hunkyo and me. We’re for the team!

It was true.

What kind of effect would Runde’s awakening bring?

Could he enhance runes even further?

That alone would be tremendous good news.

It could mean another level of power enhancement for the team.

“Okay, Runde is decided!”

Swoosh.

He picked up one awakening potion and placed it in front of Runde.

– Kya, as expected of Master, truly an excellent choice! I’m receiving proper blessings in my old age!

As Runde picked it up with a satisfied expression.

– Jin-wooooo! Meeeee!

– …Jin-woo.

– Kreuk.

– Me.

The remaining four summoned creatures looked at him with burdensome expressions.

Ah…

This was really difficult.

All of them were Baek Jin-woo’s precious EX-grade summoned creatures.

He liked them all equally, but choosing just two would make it seem like he was favoring only some of them.

“At times like this, I should ask Hunkyo…”

– Ahem, ahem.

Hunkyo stepped back with an awkward expression.

Huh.

You too?

– Master. This is a matter of preference. It’s not like I can know their awakening effects in advance.

“That’s true too.”

Have the summoned creatures vote?

What if their feelings got hurt in the process?

This couldn’t be helped.

As their master, it was his duty to decide.

He had already chosen Runde, and the summoned creatures would be most convinced if Baek Jin-woo made the decision rather than anything else.

‘Ramba, Pokryong, Dampir, Doldoli…’

Right.

Let’s keep it simple.

“Dampir, Doldol. Sorry to you two. I’ll somehow get you some later.”

– …?

– Kreuk?

Dampir’s eyes widened, and Doldoli dejectedly lowered his scythe.

Ah, don’t do that.

It breaks my heart.

“Dampir, Jakgeo has gotten too strong so tanking is sufficient, and Doldoli is… well, PVP specialized, but honestly PVP is already over-balanced.”

And honestly.

What Ramba and Pokryong said earlier wasn’t wrong at all.

Considering how much they’d suffered, it was right to take care of Ramba and Pokryong.

– As expected, Jin-woooo!

– Thank you, Jin-woo!

The two summoned creatures were each holding an awakening elixir and rejoicing.

– Master!

Mayeo, who had been fiddling with the awakening elixir, called out to Baek Jin-woo.

– Don’t worry too much, meow.

“Huh?”

– This witch will take responsibility for both Dampir and Doldoli, meow! What kind of witch would I be if I couldn’t replicate one little potion like this, meow! It’ll take some time, but it’s not impossible, meow!

“Oh, ooh?”

You can make that?

You can replicate it?

Even though it’s limited edition?

Well.

Runde does freely replicate limited edition runes after all…

Dampir and Doldol, who had become dejected, raised their heads again.

– Quack quack quack quack! Praise this witch, meow!

– Grrrrrr!

– Witch. Good.

As expected of Mayeo.

I made a good choice summoning her.

Thanks to her, everyone gets a happy ending.

By the way.

The awakening elixirs couldn’t be used together.

After Ramba first drank the potion and the Quest appeared, Pokryong and Runde also drank theirs.

Well, they tried to drink them.

But?

– Jin-woo, it seems we need to complete the preceding Quest first.

– Hmm, how strange. I definitely poured the potion and put it to my lips… but my instincts rejected the potion. It’s telling me to wait a bit.

They couldn’t consume them.

In other words, awakening had to be done sequentially.

First.

Ramba’s awakening Quest appeared.

[Quest Manifested!]

[‘Wind Fairy’ (EX-grade) has received a Quest!]

The content of this Quest was simple yet profound.

[Awakening Quest!]

[Wind Fairy (EX-grade) Awakening – Become the Wind Fairy Queen!]

[The wind that Ramba has wielded has not touched the true essence of wind. True wind does not target a single entity but embraces everyone. By becoming a queen, you can bestow wind pressure upon all allies.]

[Understand the essence of wind and awaken as a true queen.]

– Huh?

Ramba scratched her head.

– Understand the essence of wind? What’s that supposed to mean?

“How would I know? You should know. You’re the Wind Fairy.”

– Jin-woo… That’s just fairies who like wind gathering together among the fairy folk to become Wind Fairies. We’re not wind spirits or anything.

“…”

Is that so?

Well.

Ramba may be EX-grade now, but she was originally E-grade, right?

Originally, she was just one of many ordinary fairies.

Though she’s become unique now.

“But this Quest.”

Baek Jin-woo muttered while stroking his chin.

“I feel like I’ve seen this somewhere before…”

– Master, it’s Wind Transformation Without Trace.

Hunkyo approached and spoke.

– Not just understanding the essence of wind, but actually becoming wind itself. It’s the realm that Aso has stepped into.

“Ah.”

Right.

“We could ask Aso about it?”

– Hiiek, Jin-woo! Aso is a genius! A mediocre person like me can’t follow something like that. How can a fairy become wind?

– Ramba, if you’re going to whine from the start… Why did you drink the awakening elixir first? If you can’t clear this, Pokryong and Runde will never be able to awaken.

– Huuung.

– And Aso is a genius aiming for the mastery of Wind Transformation Without Trace, while you’re just challenging the first stage, and you’re already saying you can’t do it?

– Ah, fine! I’ll do it! I’ll do it!

– Master.

“Yeah.”

– I’ll proceed with Ramba’s education together with Aso for the time being.

Aso would teach Ramba about Wind Transformation Without Trace.

Hunkyo would teach Aso the Meteor Sword Technique.

Perfect.

“Alright, I’m counting on you.”

At least it’s fortunate.

It’s not like Jakgeo’s case where we got an impossible Quest.

Still, if the summoned creatures work hard, won’t time solve this?

Full-scale training began.

Hunkyo mainly took charge of Aso’s Meteor Sword Technique and Ramba’s awakening, while the other summoned creatures proceeded with training methods suited to them, whether researching alone or forming teams for group battles.

Baek Jin-woo took a well-deserved rest.

He had meals with his family and spent a lot of time with Yu Ji-a too.

Who knows when he’d enter the Tower again.

He needed to spend as much time as possible when he had the chance so he wouldn’t regret it later.

Baek Jin-woo also put effort into taking care of his guild members.

Every morning during training time, he made rounds to check their control and provided consultations about summoned creatures.

While Baek Jin-woo didn’t need to build up many decks thanks to his EX-grade summoned creatures, other players were different.

In fact, during the “Battle of Summoners” era, Baek Jin-woo had raised over hundreds of summoned creatures to the end, and even when he went to the final Tower of Trials, he brought different deck pools each time.

‘I should get them into the top 20 if possible.’

Anyway, with Baek Jin-woo and the Three Emperors, that’s 4 people filled, and it’s a 16-person battle…

Baek Jin-woo wanted to put all SKY members in there.

Our people are much more comfortable than those from Europe, the United States, or Japan.

In any case.

Baek Jin-woo had to feel his whole body becoming drowsy from the rest he was taking after so long.

Bamboo Forest.

Swoosh.

Feeling the gentle breeze blowing between the trees, Aso raised her wooden sword.

– Aso.

Behind her stood Hunkyo in red armor with his arms crossed.

– Yes!

– This sword technique is also like a meteor falling from the sky. You must have felt meteors a lot while learning Thousand-Li Meteor this time, right?

– That’s right. Though there’s still a long way to go.

– You need to make that wooden sword infinitely light. Make the flow of the sword like a meteor.

– If that happens, the sword could also fly a thousand li in one step and return, right?

– Good approach. However, it’s similar to yet different from the Departure Sword. Ultimately, the Meteor Sword Technique is a wide-area skill that transcends this world.

– It’s difficult.

– For now, just swing it.

– Ung! I’ll give it a try!

Aso, wearing her pink training uniform, brought her wooden sword down from sky to ground.

Her expression was infinitely serious.

The Wuji Immortal’s martial arts.

Aso was currently completely absorbed in these absurdly overpowered techniques that transcended the worldview she and Hunkyo had lived in.

While Father’s joy when she mastered these played a part, she had fallen for the charm of the martial arts themselves.

Each and every skill stimulated her spirit of challenge.

The Meteor Sword Technique was no different.

A sword technique based on the Departure Sword, Heart Sword, Sword-Heart Unity, and Sword-Energy Fusion.

The Meteor Sword Technique wasn’t about ordinary meteors.

It was about meteor showers.

Not just one meteor, but pouring down meteors like a torrential rain.

– If my sword is like a meteor shower falling from the sky, then my will must become the meteorite clouds covering the heavens.

To someone else, this might sound like chasing clouds, but not to Aso.

She had actually become wind before.

Becoming meteorite clouds?

With effort, she could definitely do it.

The important thing was conviction and will that she could do it!

Swish! Swoosh!

Aso’s wooden sword began building up the framework step by step from the basics.
