I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 239

6th World League (10)

“Uwaaah!”

“Holy shit!”

All the despairing British citizens jumped up from their seats.

Their deathly pale expressions brightened as if nothing had happened.

“Yes!”

“This is Rachel!”

Uhahahaha! Overwhelming!”

“Her world ranking 2nd place is solid!”

After only seeing her strategically taking hits, she once again displayed that overwhelming force, reviving the British people’s spirits.

But Korea’s atmosphere wasn’t bad either.

– Did you see that? The way she drew out Rachel’s true power!

– That Rachel! The former leader of the Five Emperors, the league’s champion before Baek Jin-woo appeared – Hong Ari from our SKY showed an incredible match against her!

– Honestly, it exceeded expectations! To think Hong Ari could fight to this extent! This is winning even in defeat! Truly proud of you, Hong Ari!

Usually, no one can last more than a minute against Rachel.

Anyone with even slight interest in Players knows this fact.

But?

Hong Ari lasted longer than that.

She even showed a picture of strategic dominance.

No one felt disappointed, only praise filled the air.

The world’s reaction, excluding Britain and Korea, was similar.

“Wow.”

“That country definitely has potential. After Baek Jin-woo, now Hong Ari. Is this the birth of a proper superstar?”

“At this level, shouldn’t Hong Ari get the Emperor title too?”

“Not Three Emperors but Four Emperors?”

“Honestly, even America’s Jenos or Japan’s Hikaru couldn’t last that long against Rachel, right?”

“That does seem likely. We’ll get answers if we watch this league a bit more.”

Originally, people considered the former Five Emperors, current Three Emperors as being in a league of their own.

Since world rankings are numbers, they might be close together, but people thought there were significant gaps between them.

But this time, Hong Ari refreshingly shattered that preconception.

Of course, there’s still much to prove.

She didn’t beat Rachel, nor has she fought Jenos or Hikaru.

But just this reaction alone shows Hong Ari’s strategy worked perfectly.

– The match continues!

– The British players are busy, so busy! They’re squeezing out every ounce of strength they have!

– Rachel is overwhelming! She doesn’t seem tired even after that fight with Hong Ari. She’s sweeping up kills at incredible speed!

– This is also an amazing scene!

The Red Rose members’ counterattack began.

They started moving like crazy, racking up kills.

Soon they reached 16th place, then 12th, then shot straight up to 10th.

– There’s not much time left now!

– That’s right. There are 145 players remaining! When 45 more die, the Battle Royal ends!

– Can Britain reverse the score gap and make it into the top 8? Currently, 1st place South Korea has 195 kills! Meanwhile, 10th place Britain has 40 kills!

– On the other hand, 8th place India has 48 kills. Britain needs at least 8 more kills just to pass the preliminaries, never mind 1st place!

– It won’t be easy!

“Uaaaah!”

“Huuuh!”

British citizens watched with sweaty palms.

What about other countries excluding Britain?

‘How amusing.’

‘They always win championships or runner-up, but there’s something satisfying about watching them struggle like this.’

‘Interesting, so interesting! This is fun whether they win or lose, right?’

They fully enjoyed the entertainment with the mindset of watching a fire across the river.

– 110 players remaining! Ah, Britain is 9th! 9th place!

– 105 players! Still 9th place! But Britain! They’ve reached 48 kills! Just 1 point behind 8th place India! Just a little more! More! More!

– Ah, aaaaah! I can’t bear to watch!

An incredible cauldron of excitement!

People around the world unknowingly cheered and went wild with enthusiasm.

Kwagagaga!

Rachel didn’t give up until the end, making Baekho run.

Olivia, Lori, and other British national team members also had bloodshot eyes as they hunted players like catching mice.

And finally.

[100 players remain!]

[Battle Royal ends!]

The match was over.

“Haak, haak!”

Rachel sat down on the ground, dripping with sweat.

“Ha, hahaha.”

She couldn’t help but laugh.

What’s so special about the main tournament?

When had she ever run until her feet were sweating like this?

Since Britain always secured group formation priority with 1st place in kills, this felt even more meaningful.

Swoosh, swooosh!

As the match ended, all players were ejected to the Arena.

At the same time.

The kill count results were revealed.

1st place – South Korea (201 kills)

2nd place – United States (180 kills)

3rd place – Japan (168 kills)

4th place – Russia (61 kills)

5th place – Taiwan (58 kills)

6th place – Mexico (53 kills)

7th place – France (51 kills)

8th place – India (50 kills)

9th place – England (49 kills)

…

Ah.

Ahhh.

It was a shocking result.

Britain eliminated by exactly 1 kill difference!

– An unbelievable result has come out! Is this real?

– I can’t believe it either! Britain, Red Rose eliminated in 9th place in preliminaries! Who could have imagined this scene. Hahaha.

– That’s right. This is an unprecedented situation in World League history. To use an analogy, it’s like soccer powerhouse Brazil not even making it to the World Cup preliminaries!

Brazil is a country crazy about soccer.

They even created a league for playing soccer with summoned creatures, which says it all.

Britain is also a summoning superpower, so the analogy was perfectly appropriate.

“…”

Inside the Arena, Britain’s waiting room was shrouded in silence.

Rachel quietly exhaled while looking at the electronic scoreboard.

“Damn it!”

Olivia just kicked the innocent floor in frustration.

“We got completely shut down by the SKY kids, right?”

“…If we had just played according to the original league format, we would have easily advanced to the main tournament. But with the league suddenly changing…”

“Enough.”

Rachel shook her head.

“Those are all just excuses. We lost. That’s all there is to it. There’s no need to get more emotionally invested than that.”

Her eyes still hadn’t lost their fire.

She had given her best, but she treated the results as insignificant.

“It was a stage we weren’t even planning to participate in anyway. We’ll return and just prepare to climb the Tower of Trials as we always have. Got it?”

“Yes.”

“Understood.”

First day of the league.

The multi-player tournament ended with the unprecedented upset of England’s elimination.

The quarterfinals proceeded quickly.

First, the opening match.

South Korea vs India ended anticlimactically in less than 10 minutes after it started.

Oh Sun-young, who started as the lead player, sliced through them with Wolf at a rate of one person per minute.

South Korea advances to the semifinals!

Next, the second match.

The match between the United States and France was also a crushing victory for the United States.

It was such an obvious result.

United States advances to the semifinals!

Japan faced off against Mexico and secured the victory.

Surprisingly entertaining was the match between Russia and Taiwan, both countries that had lost the majority of their national teams to Rachel.

Even so, seeing them struggle their way up to the main tournament, it seemed experience truly couldn’t be ignored.

After a bloody battle between the two countries, Taiwan won by a very narrow margin.

Japan advances to the semifinals!

Taiwan advances to the semifinals!

The semifinals were scheduled for two days later.

During that time, the SKY members absolutely did not rest.

Especially Hong Ari, who worked with Hwang Ju-won to review all of Hikaru and Jenos’s footage while devising strategies.

The team members also put their heads together to think about and discuss how to drain Sam-je’s power.

Oh, and.

Taiwan suddenly left South Korea, saying they were going home.

They forfeited the semifinal match against Korea!

[Taiwan National Team Members: Making it this far is already a miracle! We’ll cheer for the remaining three countries from our screens.]

Everyone praised their clean withdrawal.

They saved everyone time.

“Haaah.”

At that moment, Baek A-jin was filled with ecstasy.

With England’s absurd elimination, the probability of her patriotic betting paying off had increased significantly.

And with Taiwan withdrawing, even a bye to the finals!

This had considerable meaning.

It created conditions where they could conserve mental strength without having to drain physical energy in the semifinals.

“If Korea actually wins the championship… How much would I make?”

Baek A-jin has a lot of money.

As the representative of Rune Eclat and a core member of the Yubak family, she could easily devour most conglomerates.

Such a person had gone around casinos in various countries and made full bets on South Korea’s championship…

Scribble, scribble scribble!

Roughly calculating on paper, she came up with an absurd amount of at least 300 trillion won.

It would probably be the largest gambling profit in the history of world leagues.

“Just try winning the championship! I’ll give each national team member 10 trillion won each!”

And the remaining half?

She’d use it to further expand Rune Eclat, of course.

The two days passed quickly.

The semifinals consisted of one match.

United States vs Japan!

– Now, the semifinals have finally begun!

– It’s a showdown between the United States and Japan!

The United States had strong individual teams, while Japan relied on Hikaru’s one-man show.

– Aaaaah! Japan! They’re coming out aggressively from the start! They’re sticking to a strategy of giving up their own HP while definitely whittling down the opponent’s health!

– The idea is that Hikaru is waiting in the back anyway!

A tournament where both sides pushed against each other!

With randomly selected players dropping out one by one from each side, the match began to heat up gradually.

And on the eighth turn!

Finally, Hikaru appeared from the Japanese side.

The eyes of the American players changed from that point on.

– Their aggressive movements become cautious!

– The American rankers are stalling for time! Clint Jones! He keeps running around acting cowardly! Is this a scheme to gradually gnaw away at Hikaru’s mental strength?

– But Hikaru isn’t Sam-je for nothing! He follows through to the end and leisurely takes the kills!

Hikaru truly went on a solo rampage.

With overwhelming control, he single-handedly took down half of the American players.

But?

Running out of strength was inevitable.

– Hikaru! He’s enduring and enduring, but he’s gradually losing his smile!

– Ah, it’s finally Jenos’s turn!

– This makes it difficult. I’ve watched the league many times in the past, and Hikaru is definitely superior in individual combat. But if they utilize the team like this… It’s very disadvantageous for Hikaru.

Jenos thoroughly and rationally pressured Hikaru.

His summoned creature’s HP was almost at rock bottom, and soon one of Jenos’s skills delivered the decisive blow.

– Ah, if this happens…

– All of Hikaru’s summoned creatures fall.

– This means the United States wins! Japan’s probability of winning approaches zero!

And so the United States advanced to the finals!

The finals would be South Korea vs United States.

It was essentially just awaiting the showdown between Hong Ari and Jenos.
