I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 244

New Continent (1)

Mayeo was not a witch from the beginning.

She was just a kitten born in the city where witches lived.

Because of the witches who had the habit of capturing and experimenting on any living creature they saw, Mayeo had to suffer from the moment she was born.

Her body was torn apart, sewn back together, injected with magic power, then drained again, limbs removed and reattached…

‘Damn it.’

Hundreds, thousands of creatures died in that process.

That’s why Mayeo both admired and hated witches.

The worst witches.

Mayeo barely survived those witches’ experiments and was raised as a pet cat.

– This witch lived with those terrible creatures and learned all their sorcery and habits, meow. And then? Hehehe!

Mayeo’s eyes flashed bright red.

The aura emanating from that small body was truly overwhelming.

– I did the same to them, meow. Ground them all up, nya. I don’t know why those witches are alive here again now, but… they can’t escape this witch’s senses, nya!

Swoosh!

Red energy streamed out from Mayeo’s hands.

“Kyaa!”

“We’ve been discovered!”

Witches began emerging one by one from the direction of the rushing energy.

Swish.

When Baek Jin-woo gestured.

Thud thud thud thud!

Hunkyo and Aso leaped out and pressed the witches’ pressure points to subdue them.

“Kyaak!”

“Kyuuuuk!”

Their bodies stiffened in their flying positions, then thud! The witches fell.

There were no exceptions.

Whatever sorcery they used, whatever method of concealment they employed, they all got caught.

It was then that one of the witches stepped forward.

“Y-Your Excellency, Allied Forces officer! Why are you attacking us!”

The legendary witch.

Morgana Lucrisia.

She stared at Baek Jin-woo and cried out with a bleeding heart.

– Hooooo.

Mayeo’s eyes gleamed.

– Morgana, why are you here, nya?

“Do you know this witch?”

When Baek Jin-woo asked.

Grind grind grind!

Mayeo gnashed her teeth and her eyes flashed.

– I couldn’t not know her, nya. The Empress of Darkness. She’s like the leader who commands the witches, nya! One of her subordinates created me, meow. And… that Morgana was also torn to shreds by my hands, mya.

“…”

The setting of this place…

It was the era when Mayeo lived.

– But the Morgana I knew didn’t look so seductive, mya. She was a hunched old hag, so it seems we’ve come to a time much further in the past than when I lived, nya.

A point further in the past.

Then, Morgana might not be the leader of this place yet.

“…I have no idea what you’re talking about. Your Excellency.”

Morgana was just bowing her head.

Baek Jin-woo shifted his gaze from Mayeo to her.

“Why do you call me an officer?”

“Of course. Taking advantage of the chaos in the current situation, didn’t we who were ostracized and despised on the continent form the Shadow Union to take revenge on those filthy humans and Allied Tribes! You are an officer of that union!”

Oho.

Baek Jin-woo’s eyes sparkled.

It seemed he wouldn’t need to do physical terrain reconnaissance.

He could just ask her everything, right?

“But why were you witches arrogantly hiding here?”

“Th-that’s…”

“Speak properly. Before I kill you all.”

Baek Jin-woo felt Mayeo’s resentment.

Since he would die soon anyway and was on his summon’s side, he didn’t care if he destroyed the Allied Forces or whatever.

Our Shadow Union?

The Destruction Dragon alone would be enough.

“I’ll speak honestly. Though our Shadow Union came together for the same reason, we had doubts about the abilities of the selected officers and king. However, since you detected our witch group’s concealment and even easily subdued us, how could we doubt you! Please lead us to drain the blood and grind the bones of those wicked bastards!”

Hmm.

So this was the setting.

“What races are in the Shadow Union?”

“You really are an officer who knows nothing.”

“If you act more insolent, I’ll kill you and ask someone else.”

“Witches, necromancers, death gods, naga tribe, shadow tribe, dark elves, and countless others.”

“Really? I’ll learn more about that gradually. What does this continent look like?”

Morgana answered all his questions without any annoyance.

Baek Jin-woo organized it step by step.

How much time had passed like that?

“But.”

“Yes, please speak.”

“Isn’t it uncomfortable to keep moving your fingers like that while explaining?”

“Yes, what do you…”

“Did I look like an easy mark to you?”

Swish.

When he gestured to his summons.

Shing!

Hunkyo drew his sword and placed it at Morgana’s neck.

– Keh keh keh!

Mayeo laughed.

– All witches have the same sinister and wicked nature, meow. Did you think our master wouldn’t notice you casting a charm spell, meow?

“H-how did you…”

Morgana’s expression looked quite wronged.

And rightfully so.

Having lived for hundreds of years, she had secretly tried to cast the ‘charm’ spell that only she knew to control the Allied Forces officer, but she had never once been caught attempting the spell itself.

“Charm? What were you trying to do by seducing me?”

“…!”

Morgana was even more flustered.

Not only was her attempt discovered, but he even read what sorcery she was going to use?

But being read didn’t make sense either.

How could he know her original sorcery that hadn’t yet appeared in this world?

– Sorry, but all the sorcery you know is in this witch’s head, nya, keh keh keh! You trashy bitch! You’re still the same. To try casting such a cruel spell that destroys the opponent’s reason and turns them into a puppet without any hesitation!

Slash!

Hunkyo’s sword sliced right through Morgana’s neck.

After hearing Mayeo’s explanation, he could no longer hold back.

– Those who dared to harm Master must not be left alive, not a single one.

Hunkyo’s killing intent covered all directions.

The witches whose pressure points were suppressed trembled violently.

– Please give the order. I will sweep them all away, Master.

Huh.

Mayeo and Hunkyo.

Both wanted the witches destroyed.

One of the witches had even tried to harm him.

Especially sorcery was even more deadly to Baek Jin-woo.

While physical attacks could be blocked by barriers, he couldn’t guarantee that barriers could block such sorcery.

The more he thought about it, the more furious he became.

Then?

What was there to hesitate about.

“Kill them all.”

– Yes, Master.

Hunkyo and Mayeo began to move.

“Phew.”

Baek Jin-woo calmed his confused mind.

Should he organize what he had heard?

First, this place was the Shadow Peninsula.

The edge of the continent.

A forbidden land covered in fog that no race would seek out.

Evil beings driven here by humans and other races had all gathered together, grinding their teeth in fury, when an invasion war broke out.

The cause was humans.

As the empire expanded, countless resources became necessary, and so they began encroaching on the forests.

Naturally, the other races living in the forests – dwarves, elves, fairies, and so on – had no choice but to resist.

Thus began humans vs. the alliance of other races.

Taking advantage of that war, the evil beings also formed an alliance for revenge.

Perhaps the dragon tribe was also forming an alliance for some reason.

One hour later.

The five gathered to share what each had seen.

Baek Jin-woo explained about the witches, and the others said they had each met with different races.

“How about we start with internal control first?”

Hong Ari offered her opinion.

“Everyone I saw looked rough and full of complaints. There were even some who openly asked why I should be king.”

“What did you do?”

“I burned them with Jujak.”

“So what did they say?”

“They said they would serve me as king.”

There was one somewhat convenient aspect.

This place followed the logic of might makes right.

While survival of the fittest existed everywhere, this place was probably much more blatant and direct than other factions.

Since it was a place where only beings without the concept of morality were gathered.

“How about you, Gi-jeong hyung and Geon-ho? Is the difficulty manageable?”

“It’s not exactly easy, but I think we can control them.”

“I can manage too.”

“Then please handle the organization of this place thoroughly. Just in case, I’ll assign Doldoli as your guard for the time being.”

“Oh.”

An Gi-jeong brightened up.

“With Doldoli, I can be bold enough.”

“Good.”

“And Hong Ari.”

“Yeah.”

“You help those two from behind while completely establishing yourself as the king of this place. I’m leaving this place in the meantime.”

“Huh? Already?”

“I only heard about it through words. First, I need to understand the situation on this continent. I also need to meet the separated members.”

Baek Jin-woo had already abandoned the idea of following the system’s words.

Then?

He had to find a way to oppose the system.

A bug, or a flaw.

Or he planned to use Mayeo to find and strike at the main body of this system.

Humanity’s survival?

That could only be preserved when their assault team’s lives were guaranteed.

He had no desire to save humanity while they killed each other.

How long would humanity last if they survived that way.

It would be better to find and fight that existence that treated humanity like toys.

“Are you leaving right away?”

“Yeah.”

There was no time.

He didn’t know what the humans or other races were planning to do.

It was unlikely, but what if Rachel and Jenos fought as if to kill each other.

Baek Jin-woo prepared himself, then left Doldoli, Ramba, and Runde behind.

“Runde.”

– I understand, I’ll finish Ramba’s staff here.

– Hiiing, I want to go too. Jin-woooo.

Ramba grabbed Baek Jin-woo’s collar regretfully, but Runde spoke firmly.

– It can’t be helped. Ramba, without you I can’t make the staff either. Wouldn’t quickly making Storm Bringer be a great help to Master?

– Huuuuu, fine. I get it.

He walked away, leaving the dejected Ramba behind.

Anyway, crossing the continent would be quick.

– Krolararararara!

He planned to ride the Destruction Dragon.

Baek Jin-woo immediately moved.

Old memories came back.

The first joint Tower of Trials!

That continent where he had traveled with Rachel was strangely similar to this continent.

No, perhaps they were exactly the same?

‘That’s right.’

The Holy Kingdom where Eila belonged, and the Cadia Empire he saw on the next floor were ultimately the same continent, just different eras, right?

There was a high probability it was the same this time.

Just in case, he asked Eila.

– The Blackest War… I’ve never heard of it.

She just shook her head.

It was one of two things.

Either it was such a great war that it wasn’t recorded, or it was ancient history so old that records had faded.

‘First, I think I need to find someone who knows the details of various parts of the continent.’

As he had felt before, this damn continent was vast.

If this continent was a planet, wouldn’t it be larger than Earth?

Just leaving the forbidden land called the edge of the continent took half a day riding the Destruction Dragon.

What does that mean?

It means the Shadow Continent is at least larger than East Asia.

Truly an enormous size.

Anyway, once the fog lifted a bit, I felt like I could breathe.

I could see the vast sky and lush green forests.

And.

Neigh neigh neigh!

Just then, I spotted a merchant group moving with exactly five carriages lined up side by side.

They appear to be traders conducting commerce between cities…

There’s no better source for knowledge about continental geography than a merchant group.

“Let’s go down, Myeongmang-a.”

– Kroaaaaaaaaaaa!

The dragon roared as it descended toward the merchant group.
