I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 227

Awakening Summoned Creatures (3)

The Wind Spirit King, Aeolus (S-rank).

The absolute ruler of wind and leader of all wind spirits, he had already sensed the intruder’s presence from the moment they arrived.

– What an insolent one.

As he muttered in a low, intimidating voice, all the surrounding winds responded to his anger and began to writhe.

But that flow was different from the past.

Some irresistible existence.

Because of that being, all spirits had lost 90% of their power.

If it weren’t for that?

The moment such an intruder appeared, he would have dealt with them on the spot.

How dare they invade the sacred realm and annihilate a highest-rank spirit… He was irritated by the reality that he could only sit still against an opponent who brazenly came straight to the central island.

But he was the Spirit King.

He had pride befitting that authority.

– Intruder, stop there and return to where you came from. I will not permit any further rudeness and arrogance.

“You’re the Spirit King?”

Baek Jin-woo looked at the creature.

An S-rank summoned creature.

This was his first time seeing a Wind Spirit King.

Judging by its power alone, even world rankers would need to be somewhat cautious, but it couldn’t give Baek Jin-woo even a hint of crisis.

– That’s right. I am the Spirit King Aeolus.

“Is that so? Aeolus. I came here because I have something to ask you.”

– How insolent. Do you think you have the right to ask me anything after daring to defile this sacred realm?

“Rights? I don’t know about that.”

Swoosh.

Baek Jin-woo looked around.

“You know that the moment you refuse my request, all spirits here including you will be annihilated.”

– You must think very little of me.

“No comment on that. However, as I told Gaeili here, I just want to resolve this peacefully.”

– Peace? Ridiculous. If you come any closer, I will never show mercy. Leave this Fairy Realm right now.

At those words, Ramba made an extremely angry expression.

– Jin-woo! That guy doesn’t seem to understand the situation right now?

Just looking at Aeolus’s expression, you could tell he was full of stubbornness.

Also, he was preparing something.

– Jin-woo.

Pokryong looked up at Baek Jin-woo.

– Highest-rank spirits are gathering from all directions.

“Gathering? Are they planning a joint attack?”

Kuwaaaaaa!

Suddenly, tremendous wind whirlpools began rising around the island, and the entire island began vibrating from that force.

At the same time.

The power of the originally weak spirits began amplifying momentarily…

What?

Did they just use some kind of trick?

– Kahahaha! Didn’t I warn you to leave!

Kuguuuuuu!

Middle-rank spirit Aeros, high-rank spirit Sircus, highest-rank spirit Zephyros.

Countless spirits gathered together creating whirlpools, which soon began transforming into storms.

– Jin-woo!

Ramba cried out in shock.

– They seem to have gotten at least ten times stronger. Like in the Tower of Trials.

Pokryong also assessed the situation and spoke.

It seemed like quite a serious situation, but Baek Jin-woo’s expression was utterly calm.

So what if they became ten times stronger.

What could they possibly do?

– Open, Domain of Wind!

Aeolus’s voice became increasingly deeper and more intense.

– When the energy of highest-rank spirits converges, my seal is also temporarily released. You wouldn’t have known that fact. Now I’ll clearly show you. What kind of existence stands before you!

“You still don’t seem to get it. I’ll show you too. What kind of existence our Pokryong is.”

Pokryong.

Show them for a moment.

When Baek Jin-woo gave a look.

Thud!

The dragon-head staff touched the ground, ignoring the wind.

Pokryong Arts.

Secret technique.

Flame.

There was no need to go as far as Annihilation.

If he used Pokryong’s final breath, the Spirit King might be annihilated.

Flame was detonating all the Pokryong waves built up through Chain at once.

Whoooooosh!

Flames began rising along the wind whirlpools.

They were flames that devoured everything.

Thanks to the stacks built up through True Devouring, a fire demon that burned and annihilated everything with just a touch!

– Kyaaaaa!

– Kraaaaa!

Every time the flames flowed along the currents, spirits screamed and were annihilated.

There was no domain or anything.

The moment the flames touched, wind stopped and air flow disappeared.

– Wh, what!

Aeolus was shocked.

Countless Sircus and Zephyros were dying.

This level of spirit legion could destroy entire continents in the human world and still have forces left!

They had even released their seals!

Yet such forces were melting away from a single magic spell cast by a mere human.

Was this even possible?

The island began transforming into a sea of flames.

The Fairy Realm began ceasing to be the Fairy Realm.

– St, stop!

Aeolus cried out in panic.

This was no longer a situation where he could maintain his pride.

He had to bow quickly to save at least the remaining children.

– I lost! Stop! Withdraw the flames!

“Is it okay to ask now?”

– Anything, you can ask anything! Please stop!

“But why did you act like that earlier.”

– Kyaaaa! I was wrong. Human! No, great being! Forgive my arrogance in underestimating your power!

Aeolus’s voice no longer contained pride or authority.

Now he seemed ready to have a conversation.

“Pokryong, withdraw it now.”

– Yes, Jin-woo.

Thud!

As he struck down with his staff, that terrible flame disappeared in an instant.

It was a brief moment, but it was a tremendous performance that wiped out nearly 30% of the spirit.

“I’ve been wanting to say this, but I didn’t come here to fight. I just wanted to ask about the essence of wind. You’re the one who stubbornly escalated things first. Do you acknowledge that?”

– I acknowledge it. I will give you the answer you seek. I shall tell you everything I know about the essence of wind.

“You don’t need to explain it to me. Just explain it to that fairy over there.”

– Understood.

I wasn’t sure if Ramba would understand even after hearing about that essence.

But since she said she’d try, okay.

“Is there somewhere to rest?”

– Somewhere to rest?

“If this is the Fairy Realm, it should be a world of its own, so guide me to somewhere decent to stay.”

While Ramba was listening?

I planned to enjoy some travel with Pokryong.

My Pokryong.

She worked so hard, so I should treat her well!

The Fairy Realm had quite a lot to see.

I thought it was just a simple S-rank dungeon, but it wasn’t.

The space itself was like an entire ecosystem.

– Jin-woo, each island has its own characteristics.

“That’s right.”

Some islands had endless lush grasslands and flower fields, while other islands had crystal forests made of pure wind energy.

While the two enjoyed their journey, the spirits didn’t approach them.

They just watched them fearfully from a distance.

– Huh? What’s this place?

Whoooooosh!

It was an area where intense wind poured down like a waterfall, and the wind was so strong that our bodies nearly lifted off.

Besides that.

Wind caves, above the clouds, and so on.

We roamed here and there, enjoying the spectacular natural scenery.

Pokryong seemed quite happy.

– Thank you, Jin-woo. You’re taking time like this just for me.

I always notice this, but despite her cute appearance, the way she speaks feels somewhat mature.

Kids like Mayeo, Dampir, Ramba, and Aso at least have speech patterns that match their appearances.

“You’ve been working hard all this time. I’ll make time like this for you often in the future too.”

– Yes, Jin-woo! Thank you!

“It’s not over yet. Let’s explore more. It’s wider than I thought.”

– Oh, great!

Had about a week passed like that?

Whiiiiing!

A wind blew once, and Spirit King Aeolus appeared.

– Human!

“Yeah?”

– What am I supposed to do when you send such a blockhead asking me to make her understand the essence of wind!

“…Blockhead?”

– She absolutely cannot understand! Ten times, twenty times! No, I’ve explained over a hundred times, but she doesn’t understand the flow and essence of wind at all! I’ve never seen such a stupid fool in my life!

Hmm.

Ramba, this girl.

She’s definitely not a genius, I guess.

But I felt slightly annoyed.

Is this how it feels when you send your kid to tutoring, and the teacher calls your kid stupid?

“So?”

– What?

“You just need to explain it more easily. It’s naturally easy for you since you’re the Wind Spirit King, but she’s just an ordinary fairy.”

– So you’re making such an unreasonable demand…!

Whoooosh!

Pokryong ignited flames.

– Eek!

Aeolus was startled and backed away.

I know from experience.

Those flames are fatal with just a graze.

Baek Jin-woo smiled coldly.

“I’ll give you a deadline.”

– What?

“Make her understand within a month, no matter what. Whether you make her live as a spirit, or you make a contract yourself. Don’t be picky about means and methods.”

– Th-that’s not such a simple matter.

“It’s simple for me. If you can’t teach her within the deadline, you all die.”

– …

Aeolus shook his head and disappeared.

It might seem too harsh, but it’s a very effective method.

No clear deadline and pressure?

They won’t work desperately.

Giving them a bit of crisis is the essence of how the world works – it makes them think harder and do their best.

– Will it be okay?

At Pokryong’s question, Baek Jin-woo smiled and nodded.

“Yeah, let’s explore a bit more. If it works, it works. If not, we’ll think about it then.”

Just as exactly one month had passed.

[‘Wind Fairy'(EX-rank) clears the awakening Quest!]

[‘Wind Fairy'(EX-rank) awakens.]

Finally, a message appeared in my vision.

See?

Whether human or spirit, if you pressure them, it all works out.

– Jin-woo, Jin-woooo!

When Baek Jin-woo called for Ramba, she appeared with a bright smile.

Behind her, a somehow haggard-looking Aeolus also appeared.

– I understand now! I can’t explain it well, but I just feel like I know! This body has definitely felt the essence of wind!

– Do you know how hard it was for me, human?

Aeolus stared at Baek Jin-woo.

– No matter how much I explained with words, she couldn’t understand, so I made her directly experience with her body from the birth of our lowest-grade spirit Breeze to the growth of the highest-grade Zephyros. She finally grasped it with her body.

“Good work. Both you and Ramba.”

Phew.

Finally, the Fairy Realm journey would end.

“But how do we get out of this dungeon?”

– Usually dungeons open when you kill the boss, right? If it’s the boss of this place… it would be Aeolus.

Whoooosh!

As Pokryong muttered menacingly and created flames again.

– What kind of scary talk is that! I’ll open it right away! Hurry up and leave!

Craaaack!

The space twisted, and a gate exit appeared.

Hoh.

The boss has this kind of ability too?

‘If I kill them all, Pokryong’s stacks would build up nicely.’

Aeolus had no personal feelings left.

Rather, he owed a debt of gratitude.

Thanks to him, Ramba had awakened.

But since there was nothing else to do for him, let’s just finish this by sparing his life.

“Thank you. Let’s meet again if we get the chance.”

– Yes, you shameless human. I hope we never meet again.

Chuckle.

Baek Jin-woo smiled and exited the Gate.

He fell onto the West Sea where he had originally entered, summoned the Destruction Dragon and ordered a return, then immediately opened his status window.

It was to check the details of Ramba’s awakening.
