I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 231
6th World League (2)
Ramba and Runde had a private conversation.
– Runde! You’re going to make me a staff?
– Hehe, that’s right. Cute fairy. To make a staff that best suits your soul, I need to read your energy.
– Hehehe, great!
Ramba beamed with joy.
She was excited about being the first to get her weapon made, and she had high expectations.
Anyone could see that this dwarf was a master craftsman, and he was going to make a staff perfectly suited for her – how could she not be happy!
– Go ahead, read me all you want!
– First, it seems like wielding a staff takes a lot of strength?
– Huh, that’s right! As expected! Runde is the only one who understands me!
– Something lighter than your current staff, and a fairy staff related to wind with attack speed buffs would be perfect, right?
– Right, right!
– Hmm.
Runde fell into thought for a moment.
The awakened Runde had learned the crafting methods for most weapons and equipment that existed on the unknown continent.
If a soul needed something, it would naturally come to mind.
In a way, it was similar to Hunkyo’s 【Instructor】 skill.
– Hehe, there’s one staff that comes to mind that’s perfect.
– Ooh, what is it?
– Storm Bringer.
– Storm Bringer? Huh, huh huh? Huh huh huh?!
That’s when Ramba’s pupils widened in shock.
– What’s wrong?
– I, I, I! I know that! That was a staff from our wind fairies’ mythology!
– Is that so? Well then. It is the ultimate weapon among wind-related fairy staffs, so it might be connected to you.
– You can’t just casually say that! Storm Bringer isn’t just any ordinary staff! In mythology, they said wielding it could create natural storms!
– Of course, if this Runde is making it, it should have at least that much ability, shouldn’t it? Kahahaha!
– Whoa.
Ramba was astonished.
Was it even right to call Runde ‘Runde’ anymore?
He didn’t just make runes, he could make everything.
Shouldn’t she just call him ‘De’ now?
Without the ‘Run’, just ‘De’!
– Honestly, I didn’t even know such a weapon actually existed! I thought it only appeared in stories!
– First, I’ll try my best to make it. However, you’ll need to stay with me during the crafting period. I’ll need quite a lot of wind crystals as sub-materials, but the main material is your soul.
– Got it!
Runde and Ramba left the room and went to find Baek Jin-woo.
– Master!
“Yeah.”
– Any weapon will take 100 days to make. Ramba’s staff is the same. You might not be able to use Ramba during the crafting period – is that okay?
“Hmm.”
That won’t work.
He had to climb the Tower of Trials right after the league ended.
Of course, the kids were strong even without Ramba, but…
Baek Jin-woo believed he should always go to the Tower of Trials in top condition.
– If it’s the Tower of Trials, it should be fine. With master’s current skill level, creating an environment where I can craft during battle is no problem at all, right? I’ll make it inside myself.
“That’s true. Tsk. Anyway, there’s no other way. Proceed immediately.”
– Oh, and I need some wind crystals.
Wind crystals were monster drop materials that came out at quite a low probability from the Supreme Saturday Dungeon.
He’d have to ask Baek A-jin about the market price, but it would probably be set between 500,000 to 700,000 won each.
“How many?”
– 100,000.
“…100,000?”
That’s not just ‘some’.
Calculating it, that’s at least 50 billion won at minimum.
Probably considering the market price would rise during the procurement process, it would cost over 100 billion won.
‘That’s not a bad level though.’
The problem would be the time it takes to obtain them.
“I’ll try to get them as quickly as possible.”
Money wasn’t the issue anyway.
It was a race against time.
If he raised the price significantly?
Wouldn’t the demand for Supreme Saturday Dungeons among players worldwide increase a lot too?
That way, he might be able to obtain them faster than expected.
At that moment.
Rachel couldn’t contain her restless body.
‘Hahaha, provocation.’
It was refreshing.
Wasn’t this the first provocation she’d received in nearly 5 years, excluding Baek Jin-woo!
‘I’ll have to show them what’s what.’
She was accustomed to being a ranker.
Both in Battle of Summoners and in this current reality.
Excluding Baek Jin-woo, she had never lost to anyone.
No one in this world became the best without competitive spirit.
No matter how outstanding one’s talent, they need to be stimulated by something to continue making efforts.
Rachel was that kind of woman too.
Normally, all her attention would have been focused on the Tower of Trials, but not now.
The Tower of Trials had the very reliable card called Baek Jin-woo, so she could worry a little less about it.
“Olivia, Lori, Joel.”
“Yes, sister.”
“Yes!”
“Yes, Guildmaster!”
The three current elite members of England’s national team, excluding Rachel!
During the last 5th tournament, they were completely overwhelmed by SKY.
[World Ranking 8th, Olivia Abernathy (England)]
[World Ranking 12th, Lori Sharp (England)]
[World Ranking 14th, Joel Deng (England)]
“Don’t think about resting for a while. We already talked about it among ourselves, right? This expedition team. We’re only taking those ranked within the world’s top 20.”
This was what they discussed in the group chat between Baek Jin-woo and the three powers.
It wasn’t even a long conversation.
It was basically an obvious topic.
“We’re going to do this seriously for the first time in a while, so let’s all be prepared.”
“Understood.”
“We’re fine with that, sister.”
“SKY without Baek Jin-woo? We’re Red Rose with our Guildmaster. The whole world knows who will win.”
England’s national team members began to burn with determination in their eyes.
The United States and Japan would probably be burning with the same intensity.
The United States had Jenos, Coby, Clint, and Emily ranked 4th, 10th, 11th, and 20th respectively!
Japan has Hikaru and Shirato ranked 3rd and 13th respectively!
In last year’s 5th World League, they were clearly behind compared to Korea and England.
There’s probably expectations from their citizens, and they themselves must have gritted their teeth and honed their skills.
During training.
Hong Ari casually approached Baek Jin-woo and asked.
“Guild Master.”
“Yeah?”
“Objectively speaking, who do you think will win? Especially if we face England.”
“I…”
It was a dilemma.
Realistically it would be England, but the SKY kids have also improved their skills in handling S-rank summoned creatures recently.
Hong Ari’s Jujak (S-rank) and Song Yeon-hee’s Aurelysis (S-rank).
We’ll know once the matches start and the formations are revealed, but if you ask me to say right now, I’m not sure.
“Well. I don’t know?”
“Hmm, aren’t you being too uninterested in our team?”
“Who, me?”
“You could at least give us some rough odds. That would give us strength.”
“Hmm…”
Baek Jin-woo had to think about this.
‘Who am I rooting for?’
Rachel, or SKY?
Rachel is a passionate fan who supports him beyond national boundaries, and a reliable supporter.
On the other hand, SKY is the guild he belongs to, players who are like family.
Both are precious to Baek Jin-woo.
But?
Somehow, it felt like he’d be happier if SKY won.
That’s just how people are.
The desire to root for the underdog.
“If I stop everything else and help with your training, I can raise your win rate to 51%.”
“Huh, really?”
“Of course.”
Rachel? Jenos? Sugoi?
No matter how murky the water, it’s clear and fresh in front of Baek Jin-woo.
“There’s exactly one month left, so how about we really go at it properly?”
“We absolutely welcome it!”
“Both teams have similar runes and specs anyway. Rachel is slightly ahead, but since it’s a tournament, if we consider them holding back their strength, the balance is good. The problem is the control battle.”
“Ooh.”
“Gather the guild members. I’ll play Rachel’s role for you.”
The SKY guild members don’t think Baek Jin-woo is strong just because he has EX-rank summoned creatures.
Baek Jin-woo knows well that he can toy with them using even A-rank or B-rank lower-grade summoned creatures as long as he has proper runes.
If they keep practicing with someone like that, they’ll definitely be able to prepare for unconventional plays.
Hong Ari, who seized the opportunity, hurriedly assembled the guild members.
The first sparring session started lightly.
From Hong Ari to Kang Dae-hyeok.
He faced 13 rankers sequentially.
He didn’t even use Aso or Hunkyo.
He simply borrowed summoned creatures from resting players and demonstrated skillful combat.
– Grwaaaaaaah!
Kang Dae-hyeok’s Magma Giant (A-rank) roared and threw a punch.
Crack!
The massive golden lion Terion (A-rank) borrowed from Seo I-yun easily found and destroyed the giant’s core.
‘Wow.’
Kang Dae-hyeok was amazed.
The summoned creature’s movements were completely different.
“You think you can beat Rachel with skills like this?”
Baek Jin-woo smiled slyly.
“Kang Dae-hyeok, you still have a long way to go.”
Kwagagagaga!
With just one Terion (A-rank), he devastatingly destroyed all of Kang Dae-hyeok’s remaining summoned creatures, and the overwhelmed Kang Dae-hyeok collapsed backward with a thud.
But there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
He was the thirteenth person to fall.
“Crazy.”
“Boss is a monster!”
“How can you control summoned creatures you don’t usually use so well?”
Baek Jin-woo returned Terion to Seo I-yun and dusted off his hands.
“You just do it.”
Well.
To be honest, he couldn’t deny that it was because of his experience with Battle of Summoners.
That was during his childhood, and he had delved into summoned creatures almost like a Seoul University valedictorian studying for the college entrance exam.
Analyzing this and that, playing around with them.
Their experience was far too short to face Baek Jin-woo, who had truly played with them like toys.
‘Still, their fundamentals are solid.’
It was better than expected.
In the past, he would have told them all to attack together, but now if they did that, they’d likely lose unless they brought EX-rank creatures.
Well.
That’s probably why they’re trying to compete with Rachel.
“Okay. I’ve roughly assessed your skills, so now I’ll teach you the details.”
There’s a saying that you must know yourself before knowing your enemy.
Baek Jin-woo began slowly explaining the details their summoned creatures possessed and methods to counter the Three Emperors.
A month passed like that.
The day before the league.
“Jin-woo.”
Yu Ji-a, beautifully dressed up after a long time, greeted Baek Jin-woo.
Normally, Baek Jin-woo would also be busy preparing to participate in the league.
But?
He’s sitting out this league.
“Ready?”
“Where should we go first?”
Today was the day he decided to enjoy a date with Yu Ji-a.
Of course, it was a business inspection disguised as a date.
With the league approaching, Yubaek City was bustling with people from around the world, and he wanted to check how well Yubaek Premier Mall was functioning.
“Fortuna Yubaek, naturally.”
Fortuna Yubaek is a large casino installed on basement level 2 of Premier Mall.
Do you remember?
The first day he went to England.
He went to the London Casino and bet on the league.
Businesswoman Yu Ji-a decided that South Korea should also have a representative casino near Jamsil!
She added World League betting to Fortuna Yubaek.
‘This should be interesting.’
Baek Jin-woo was planning to visit there first.
No matter how much money you have, you can’t resist a game where money is on the line.
Especially when a close match like this one is expected!
Swoosh.
Yu Ji-a lightly grabbed Baek Jin-woo’s arm with one hand.
Business aside, she was clearly expressing that this was also part of their date!
At her touch, Baek Jin-woo smiled and extended his arm toward her.
