I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 241

6th World League (12)

The method was the same as what Baek Jin-woo and Rachel had shown before.

A method where everyone except Hong Ari and Jenos threw forfeit votes.

After doing so, it wasn’t long before the two were facing each other with their full strength intact.

“Thank you for accepting.”

“Don’t mention it.”

That conversation was enough.

One had staked the position of Sam-je, and the other had staked SKY’s honor.

Now all that was left was to fight!

“Hoo.”

Hong Ari exhaled briefly, then took a long breath in.

Her heartbeat slowed and the trembling in her muscles subsided.

At the same time.

Whoosh!

From the very beginning, Jujak flew toward Jenos.

His expression hardened slightly.

‘Indeed, S-rank.’

Even the momentum was extraordinary.

The runes, enhancements were all top-tier, and even the control was high-level.

If you removed all the player’s experience and control abilities, Hong Ari definitely had the upper hand in terms of raw power.

‘It feels like facing the old Rachel.’

Whoooosh!

The place Jujak charged toward was where Jenos’s Tyrant (A-rank) stood.

Jujak, one of the Four Deities, turns even a simple charge into a high-level fire attribute attack.

– Haaah!

Tyrant reflexively lowered its stance.

Then, putting strength into its lower body, it threw a straight punch.

An ordinary straight punch!

But the monsters that had been destroyed by that fist numbered in the tens of thousands.

Perhaps even hundreds of thousands?

A fist that had been trained from the early days through countless repetitions becomes a skill in itself.

The power is fully applied, and the accuracy converges to 99.99%.

Tyrant, receiving its master’s will, flashed its eyes.

The power transmitted from the lower body mixed with the energy boiling up from the core, heading toward the fist.

Then release!

KWAAAAANG!

Tyrant’s fist struck Jujak’s head precisely, and tremendous energy swirled and spread out.

Jujak, who had been charging, didn’t stay still either.

Four Deities.

Vermilion Bird.

Flame Whirlwind.

Whoooosh!

A massive fire whirlwind formed from its entire body, sweeping forward as if to burn everything in its path.

Despite being a heavy skill, its movement was light.

While absorbing the punch with flames, it instead embraced Tyrant’s entire body as if to burn it.

Each passive flame wing seemed ready to burn Tyrant’s body at any moment.

At that moment.

Swish!

Tyrant’s body became blurry, then disappeared from that spot as if extinguished.

‘Invisibility buff.’

A technique useful in PVP!

‘Shadow Fox (A-rank).’

I see.

One summon seemed to be missing, but he had apparently hidden a buff-type fox.

The disappeared Tyrant appeared in front of the Phoenix next to Hong Ari after about 1 second had passed.

“Gasp!”

It was fast enough to momentarily startle Hong Ari.

Attacks performed when invisibility is released have a 100% critical hit rate.

Moreover, with Jenos’s control, he could precisely target Phoenix’s core.

‘I have to dodge.’

If one was turned into an egg already here, she couldn’t secure a definite advantage later.

– Kiruuuuuu!

Phoenix flapped its wings and pulled back, but it was impossible to avoid Tyrant’s determined punch.

KWAANG!

Tyrant’s fist struck Phoenix’s chest.

At the same time, spinning its body, it instead charged toward the remaining Phoenix.

‘Two at once?’

Bang! Bang!

Two Phoenix were knocked back like cannonballs.

‘As expected, Sam-je is Sam-je?’

She had focused control on Jujak and couldn’t pay attention to Phoenix.

Both of them had lost more than half their HP.

Of course, Tyrant wasn’t in good condition either.

Having been swept by Jujak, burns were visible all over its body.

In just that one collision!

– This is insane!

– What an incredible sight. How many moves were exchanged between them in this brief moment!

– We don’t know. We’d need to see it in slow motion to understand! Should we go check it out?

People around the world were having their dopamine surge like crazy.

‘My goodness.’

‘So that’s what control is.’

‘There’s a reason skilled players’ dynamic vision is called cat-like.’

In the extremely brief exchange, all ordinary people saw was rising dust and banging sounds.

But in those movements played at 0.1x speed on screen, countless thoughts and moves were contained.

How could it not be wondrous!

“Indeed Jenos!”

“Sam-je isn’t Sam-je for nothing!”

“Deflecting Jujak and instead hitting Phoenix? Two of them at that? What’s most amazing is the instantaneous judgment. Look at Tyrant’s movement! There’s no hesitation!”

Those who had actually tried it knew.

How difficult it was to operate summons like that.

After making the optimal move you can make, boldly push it through!

It was impossible without confidence in yourself.

“Wow.”

Baek A-jin, who was watching, covered her mouth.

“Sam-je is at that level?”

“Of course.”

Baek Jin-woo smiled.

“If he couldn’t do at least that much, I wouldn’t have bothered taking him to the Tower of Trials. I would have just gone with the ones I raised myself.”

“Huh.”

Baek A-jin glanced at her brother’s profile for no particular reason.

A halo seemed to shine around him.

Even dozens of Jenos-level opponents wouldn’t stand a chance against Baek Jin-woo alone, right?

“Well, I’ve been eating and training non-stop, so that much should be natural.”

At his muttered words, Baek A-jin unconsciously shook her head vigorously.

Easy for him to say.

If training could make you that good, everyone would be world rankers, wouldn’t they?

“Keep watching.”

Baek Jin-woo crossed his arms again with an interested expression.

“Hong Ari will show us something too.”

“Huh.”

Hong Ari honestly admired that skilled move that had defeated her in an instant.

‘He really is strong.’

She knew it, but experiencing it firsthand was beyond her expectations.

Fast, precise, and skilled in psychological warfare.

After clashing a few more times, she was even more certain.

Who called Jenos a control noob?

Even if not as much as Baek Jin-woo, he definitely felt superior to the SKY members.

She thought.

Was it right to keep engaging in frontal combat against him?

‘No.’

She could get beaten if she kept pushing just because she had superior weight class.

She too needed to move cunningly.

She had already made enough concessions by accepting the one-on-one duel.

The battle from here on?

She had to win by any means necessary.

Why was it?

Hunkyo’s voice echoed in her mind.

– There’s no such thing as fair and square in fighting. The truly strong are those who survive. Rather, if your opponent comes at you with orthodox methods, thank them inwardly. Then win cunningly. That’s what being strong means.

‘Nagging.’

But it was true.

– The opponent acted cowardly first? Then just return the favor with the same method. The opponent’s actions reveal their own weaknesses.

‘Right.’

The opponent had penetrated inside and attacked Phoenix?

Then she just needed to do the same.

Whoooosh!

Jujak didn’t turn to come this way.

Instead, it began charging toward Jenos.

Four Deities.

Vermilion Bird.

Flame Summoning.

Kuwaaaaaa!

Countless spirits and fire birds burst out around Jujak, beginning to cover the entire area.

It struck first at the Transmutation Alchemist (A-rank) and Vocalist (B-rank) that Jenos had brought.

Crash!

However.

Thud thud thud thud!

The moment they approached, the flames froze and fell to the ground.

‘I expected this much.’

He had inserted a set of top-grade rare runes, ‘Freeze’, into the Vocalist.

A theme rune that blocked all fire-attribute energy flow within a 10-meter radius, but sealed all stats and skills in exchange!

Hong Ari knew about it because Baek Jin-woo had told her.

The fact that such rare runes existed.

That’s why she didn’t force her way in, but probed with flame summoning.

‘If I expected it?’

Naturally, she brought something to counter with.

Kuwaaaaaa!

The giant golden lion Terion (A-rank) suddenly burst from the ground and began breaking through that area.

‘Wh-what?’

Jenos’s expression hardened rapidly.

Hong Ari had Terion?

– Terion! Hong Ari has brought out Terion!

– Terion is Seo I-yun’s main summon! There must have been a swap between players before summon registration!

Summon swap!

A technique that could be used strategically as much as needed.

‘I’ll end this in one go.’

Controlling teammates’ summons was SKY’s main training method.

Therefore, her skill in handling Terion was almost as natural as Seo I-yun’s.

“Damn.”

Jenos pulled back the Tyrant that had been facing Phoenix.

– Ah, no! Never mind Phoenix, there’s Jujak on that trajectory!

– The Tyrant could face Jujak, but it’ll be difficult!

– As expected, Hong Ari! She’s not giving any openings! While controlling Terion, she’s turning Jujak’s back to defend against the Tyrant!

Multitasking!

Hong Ari’s brain began spinning rapidly.

More! Even more! More!

Battles between masters were originally close to instantaneous.

Therefore, she had to concentrate as much as possible when she could, without thinking about stamina.

– Kiiiiiiiii!

The Transmutation Alchemist’s (A-rank) main skill, Chimera Summoning!

The grotesquely shaped Chimera Number Nine appeared.

A giant worm of enormous size.

A monster worm with hundreds of white teeth embedded in overlapping layers around its round mouth, a creature Jenos had often shown before.

However.

Terion was similar in size to that creature.

It wrapped its claws around the creature’s body, then bit its neck.

– Kreeeeeeeek!

Hong Ari felt it.

That this was the decisive moment.

Four Deities.

Vermilion Bird.

Crimson Flame’s Fury.

Therefore, she unleashed her secret technique.

Jujak’s ultimate secret technique, Crimson Flame’s Fury, which consumed all MP but granted tremendous attack power buff for 5 minutes!

Kuwaaaaaaaaa!

Sparks flew throughout the entire space, dust began to thicken, and explosive sounds burst in succession.

-…!

The commentators and the public watched the battle with bated breath, covering their mouths.

Who!

Who would really win!

Kwagagagagagaga!

Even amidst all this, the sounds continued to spread out.

Though their vision was obscured and they couldn’t see properly, anyone could tell that the battle inside was incredibly fierce.

And soon.

Kugeugeugeug…!

The sounds gradually began to subside, then came to a complete stop in silence.

– What, what is it!

– What happened?!

And when the dust finally settled.

“Ha.”

Thud.

Jenos could be seen collapsed on the ground.

Surprisingly, both Phoenix had reverted to egg form, and Jujak was also grounded, limping on its legs.

However?

Not a single one of Jenos’s summoned creatures remained.

The outcome was clear.

– Wo, wooooooooh!

– Hong Ari! Hong Ari has defeated Sam-je! A miracle! A miracle has happened!

Hong Ari’s victory!

“How on earth did she…”

“What just happened?”

“Even watching it in slow motion probably wouldn’t show much.”

While people were murmuring among themselves, only Baek Jin-woo was watching.

“Not bad, Hong Ari.”

Both were impressive.

But?

He thought that desperation was stronger on Hong Ari’s side.

‘And the Tower of Trials.’

Usually tends to favor those who are more desperate.

Hong Ari seemed like she could become an even better companion than Sam-je in the future.
