I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 228
Awakening Summoned Creatures (4)
[Summoned Creature: Wind Fairy]
[Race: Fairy Race]
[Grade: EX-rank (Isolation Judgment) (Awakened)]
– Isolated due to balance-breaking elements discovered in specific situations.
– Wind Fairy’s ‘Wind Pressure’ skill applies to up to five summoned creatures.
[Level: 61]
[Stats Possessed]
Strength: 30, Intelligence: 883, Stamina: 20, Agility: 883
HP: 6,500, MP: 5,500
Critical Hit Rate: 20%
Critical Hit Damage: 20%
[Skills Possessed]
– Wind Pressure: Each time the staff is swung, it increases a single target summoned creature’s attack speed by 3%.
– Memories of Cream Bread: When eating the corresponding cream bread, the ‘Wind Pressure’ effect doubles.
“Wow.”
Baek Jin-woo exclaimed in admiration.
Awakened Ramba’s performance had become much better.
– Yeah, this is it!
Performance that even she could be satisfied with!
– Wind Fairy’s ‘Wind Pressure’ skill applies to up to five summoned creatures.
Originally, Ramba had to swing her staff alternately every time they climbed the Tower.
Hunkyo, Aso, Doldoli, and so on.
But now it could apply to up to five with just one swing, so how great was that!
– I don’t have to swing as much now? My arms will hurt less too?
“Definitely less than before.”
– Keu, Ramba is satisfied with just that!
“Let’s try experimenting with it.”
Baek Jin-woo, who had quickly returned to the training ground riding the Destruction Dragon, summoned his creatures.
‘Since it said it can apply to five.’
He selected five that needed attack speed.
First, Hunkyo, Aso, and Doldoli who always received it were fixed.
He needed to add two more…
Pokryong, Dampir Jagger, Runde, and Mayeo didn’t particularly need attack speed.
It would be nice to have, but it wouldn’t produce extreme efficiency.
Rather.
‘Destruction Dragon and Eila.’
These two would benefit well from attack speed.
“Ramba.”
– Yeah!
“From now on, the five members are fixed. Hunkyo, Aso, Doldol, Eila, Myeongmang. Only put stacks on these five.”
– Oh, that’s perfect! Good!
“Let’s try it once.”
– Okay!
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!
As Ramba wildly swung her staff, he could feel all five becoming equally faster.
The summoned creatures gradually increasing their attack speed.
“Keu.”
There was definitely synergy.
It also created a refreshing feeling.
They were already strong, but if there was an opponent who had to face their combined attack… He would offer his condolences in advance.
“I could really clear the 80th Floor by myself with this.”
But?
Was there any need to push himself unnecessarily?
Humanity’s current challenge of the Tower of Trials was an unknown process.
No one knew what would happen upon clearing it.
If peace would come when they cleared the 100th Floor, that would be one thing, but that wasn’t guaranteed, was it?
Now when there was time, it was better to enjoy it leisurely.
So lately, he was trying to spend a lot of time with his family and summoned creatures.
Of course, while slowly awakening them too.
“Next.”
Baek Jin-woo called Pokryong, Runde, and Mayeo.
“Now it’s your turn, which of you three wants to awaken first?”
– I’m fine, meow!
Mayeo raised her hand.
– I’m still in the middle of research, so I’ll eat it when I’m done, meow!
“Alright, Mayeo is out. Then between Runde and Pokryong, who?”
– Hehe, Master. I don’t particularly need to go first either. I’ve been a bit busy lately.
“Busy?”
– I’m running Rune Eclat, aren’t I? Master’s younger sister, that is, CEO Baek A-jin keeps giving me work. Hehe. Thanks to that, I’m living a happy daily life. Of course, awakening is good too… but it’s not that urgent.
Mayeo and Runde’s concession.
Thanks to that, it automatically became Pokryong’s turn.
– Thank you both.
Pokryong bowed her head while hugging her dragon head staff.
– Kyak kyak kyak! If you’re grateful, do well from now on, meow!
– Hehehe, I’m also comfortable with Pokryong, who’s making the greatest contributions for Master, awakening first.
It was fortunate.
This time the summoned creatures’ opinions aligned, so he didn’t have to make a heartbreaking decision!
“Then Pokryong, let’s eat it right away.”
– Yes, Jin-woo.
She took out the awakening elixir she had been treasuring in her arms.
Pop!
Just as she opened the cap and was about to down it in one shot.
– Wait, meow!
Mayeo stretched out her hand.
Pokryong, who was almost about to drink it, hesitantly stopped her hand.
“Why?”
– How about this, meow?
“What?”
– Using magic to divine who should awaken first, meow!
“Why? It’s already been agreed upon.”
– Ahem, Master! Are you ignoring this witch’s advice, meow?
“That’s not it…”
– I have a feeling, meow! Pokryong’s current potential ability is too overpowered, so we don’t know what might appear during this awakening, meow. If some ridiculously difficult mission gets assigned and her awakening gets delayed, wouldn’t this Mayeo’s awakening also be delayed? I don’t want that, meow!
“…”
Hmm.
Come to think of it, how strong would Pokryong become if she got even stronger here?
Even now she was almost at Aso and Hunkyo’s level.
Since listening to Mayeo’s words had never been bad so far, he nodded.
“Pokryong, let’s wait just a little longer.”
– ….
Her lips pouted slightly, but she didn’t voice her complaints out loud.
In fact, if Mayeo hadn’t been there?
The opportunity might not have come to her yet.
She might still be watching Ramba struggle to grasp the Windless Traceless technique.
– I understand.
– Wait just a moment, meow! I’ll go cast some spells and come back, nya!
Whoosh!
Mayeo disappeared into the research lab and didn’t come out until nearly two hours had passed.
– Master!
“Hm?”
Baek Jin-woo, who had been practicing breathing techniques while waiting, stood up.
“Did you find something?”
– Pokryong shouldn’t do it now, meow!
“Eh…?”
– I don’t know the reason, but the divination says so, nya! It would be better to proceed with Runde first, meow!
“…Runde.”
– In Runde’s case, even awakening might be easy, nya! Trust this witch’s words, nya!
When Mayeo insisted so strongly, what choice was there?
– I can’t help it either.
Pokryong also stepped back.
– When Mayeo says it that firmly, I can’t be greedy. Actually, regardless of awakening, I just need to be helpful to Jin-woo.
“…Then let’s do that.”
And so.
Runde was decided as the next awakening target.
Gulp, gulp!
Runde consumed the awakening elixir, and a Quest appeared.
[Quest manifested!]
[‘Rune Dwarf’ (EX-rank) has received a Quest!]
Right.
What kind of quest is it?
[Awakening Quest!]
[Rune Dwarf (EX-rank) Awakening – Rune Master!]
[The Rune Dwarf is not far from mastering all runes. Now the high ground is in sight! When rune crafting reaches its peak, another path will open.]
[Raise the ‘Masterwork Creation’ skill level to 5.]
Huh?
Wait.
Masterwork Creation skill level 5?
But he’s already doing that now, isn’t he?
– Hehe, hehehehe!
Runde, who had checked the mission, also laughed as if bewildered.
– Mayeo was right! This is what I normally do anyway, so it’s good I received it in advance!
Runde’s current Masterwork Creation level is 4.
During the Battle of Summoners era, he could only raise it to 3, so he didn’t know what the max level was, but judging by the choice of the word “peak,” the max level seemed to be 5.
If so, there wasn’t much left, right?
“How’s the current situation?”
– Hehe, Master. I’m almost there.
Runde placed his hammer on his shoulder and showed a relaxed smile.
There was definitely confidence and composure in his eyes.
– Just wait a little longer. I’ll soon reach my true peak.
“Is there anything I can help with?”
– Representative Baek A-jin is doing very well. Even now there are countless things to make. I can confidently say there’s no better environment than this.
Runde spread his large left hand, checking his roughened palm.
– Hehe, I’m doing my best every moment, Master. And it will be the same going forward. Now that I have the chance to see the end of rune crafting, how could I not strive harder? I’ll bring you good news soon. Trust me.
When he spoke like that, he felt no more words were needed.
Right.
Let’s wait.
Come to think of it, quite some time had passed since reaching Lv.4.
With Baek A-jin pouring in Yubaek’s massive financial resources for materials, there was no need to worry further.
“Well then.”
Baek Jin-woo stretched.
“Rest again?”
About another month passed.
During that time, there were many changes in Yubaek City as well, and now that business was on track.
The buildings and apartments had been completed long ago.
Yubaek Premier Mall, managed by Kim Byeong-jin, had already become a world-famous tourist destination.
Inside were Baek A-jin’s 【Rune Eclat】, Marisa’s bakery 【Fada】, Hwang Tae-seop’s casino 【Fortuna Yubaek】, and Hwang Tae-seop’s hotel 【Le Grand Yubaek】.
As before, but now assets truly multiplied just by breathing.
Yu Ji-a even incorporated her father Baek Jin-chul’s chicken restaurant into Yubaek as a subsidiary.
She acquired it with massive funds and even branded it, placing her father as the representative.
The chicken restaurant’s name was Yubaek Chicken.
Naturally, it was a name destined for success.
She even brought in chicken researchers with world-class salaries to study the taste.
They couldn’t sell ordinary chicken under the Yubaek name, could they?
Naturally, her father was overjoyed, his smile reaching the ceiling.
Even though he said she didn’t need to worry about it anymore, Yu Ji-a thoroughly took care of Baek Jin-woo’s family.
It was something promised from the very beginning, wasn’t it?
And later he found out that Yu Ji-a’s grandfather, Daeseong founder Yoo Byeong-cheon, had met separately with his parents for dinner.
They said marriage talk came up…
‘Marriage, what marriage.’
Baek Jin-woo shook his head.
Because he disliked Yu Ji-a?
No.
It was rather the opposite.
Because he liked her so much, he wanted to respect her.
Baek Jin-woo was treated as the world’s greatest, strongest player and this world’s hero, but he was also destined to potentially disappear at any time.
No matter how easy the Tower of Trials might be, who knew how things would turn out?
It was a place humanity hadn’t explored yet, and countless mishaps could occur accordingly.
Marriage in such a situation?
‘Why make someone a widow.’
If he were to do it, it would be when true peace arrived.
When all potential threats disappeared, perhaps then.
A few more months passed, and autumn arrived before he knew it.
During that time, not just Baek Jin-woo, but the growth of SKY members increased daily.
The World League would open again soon, and by then they might be able to completely overwhelm England, the United States, and Japan.
No matter how amazing the Three Emperors were, they couldn’t match Hunkyo’s education.
Of course, Hunkyo’s entire focus was concentrated on Aso.
The Meteor Sword Technique was still far off.
Learning the Thousand-Li Meteor didn’t make it easy.
The Meteor Sword Technique required containing hundreds of things like Thousand-Li Meteors within the sword.
– Still, I think I’m getting the hang of it again to some extent. The day I can show it to Master isn’t far off.
“Good, you’ve worked hard.”
– By the way, is Runde still not back?
“That’s what I’m wondering.”
He thought it would be finished in a few months, but there had been no word from Runde at all.
He had no idea how many runes had been created.
Already, the majority of world Rankers had been equipped with top-grade runes, so many had been made.
Thanks to Runde, had the entire world been leveled up?
Already most SKY members had completed their full summoned creature setups!
“Let’s wait with generous hearts. Anyway, with our current strength, the next Tower of Trials won’t be a problem, right?”
– That does seem to be the case.
Their power was too strong.
To the point where they didn’t know what tension was.
As another day passed like that, and two days had gone by.
– Master!
Runde entered the Training Ground, majestically carrying his hammer on his shoulder.
– Kahahahahaha! I’ve finally done it!
Runde burst into refreshing laughter.
– I’ve become a Rune Master! Now I can create all the runes in the world within my hands!
The guy had finally accomplished it.
