I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 246
New Continent (3)
Time passed.
Whoosh!
When the wind blew once?
Aso’s field of vision changed in a whirl.
Aso traversed the continent at tremendous speed!
With just one step, she ran a thousand li.
It was an absurd speed of roughly 400 kilometers covered in a single stride.
Seeing her footwork, even the first Heavenly Demon of the Demonic Cult would weep in defeat.
Aso thought.
Father wants to find his scattered companions, but what should I do?
No matter how fast she ran, finding the kings of species without any clues in this vast place was like finding a needle in a desert, like finding a pearl on a sandy beach.
She needed to come up with a clever plan.
One of those clever plans was the One Flash Heaven and Earth technique.
With one flash, she would split heaven and earth.
Swoosh!
When she swung her wooden sword, mountains split. The sea surged up, calling forth tsunamis.
Suddenly, great disasters began striking the continent.
‘If it were Daeseong, he would have split the entire continent.’
Unfortunately, that was still beyond her reach.
Rather, it was fortunate.
If the continent collapsed, Father’s companions might die too.
Rumble!
Flash in the east, flash in the west.
Wherever Aso appeared, great earthquakes always occurred.
‘Let’s keep causing a ruckus.’
If she did?
She would become famous, and then wouldn’t the kings of each species come looking?
It was a very simple thought.
And that thought brought tremendous results.
Western part of the continent.
Deep within the Magma Mountain Range.
In a lava zone that seemed absolutely unreachable by human hands, there was the Dragon’s Lair.
The massive dragon nests were intertwined with each other like a complex maze. The sky was dyed red with the light of magma, and the interior of the lair was filled with treasures and ancient artifacts that the dragon race had accumulated over thousands of years.
And in the largest commons.
In the center of the enormously scaled dungeon was the Lord’s throne.
Sitting on that throne was none other than the Dragon Lord, Yoshida Hikaru.
“Ha, haha.”
Hikaru laughed awkwardly while scratching his head.
Good heavens.
Dragons.
Before his eyes were truly dozens of ancient dragons in human form.
From what he could roughly see, those ancient dragons seemed to perceive him as the eldest Gold Dragon.
‘Fortunately.’
The members were all here in this dungeon too.
Kang Ji-ho, Lori Sharf, Shirato Sakura, and Hwang Ji-woo.
Looking at their changed hair colors, Kang Ji-ho was a Red Dragon, Lori Sharf was a Green Dragon, Shirato Sakura was a Blue Dragon, and Hwang Ji-woo was a White Dragon…
‘Damn it.’
‘What, what am I supposed to do?’
‘Do I have to keep pretending to be a dragon?’
Everyone had noticeably tense expressions.
For now.
The auras he felt were all tremendous dragons without exception.
‘Definitely S-grade summons.’
Since they were ancient dragons, they were end-game level beings grown to their limits, and with the Tower of Trials buff, they seemed 10 times stronger than basic summons.
They were different from the Chaos Dragon.
If the Chaos Dragon was a chimera made as an alien dragon, these were real dragons of the continent.
If he made a mistake here, it felt like he’d die at the hands of dragons before dying in battle.
Hikaru thought.
‘That thing I said about having the best position. I take that back.’
For now, his flesh trembled.
Every time the experienced ancient dragons conversed, they tilted their heads with a feeling that something was strange, and each time his heart sank.
It felt like continuously walking on thin ice.
“My Lord.”
One Red Dragon growled lowly.
Despite being in human form, the voice itself was majestic enough to shake mountain ranges.
“The human Empire army and the different species alliance are clashing. Both military forces are fierce enough to split the continent. As they disturb the order of the continent, both species need punishment.”
“That’s right. Especially the arrogance of humans who claim to be masters of the continent pierces the heavens.”
“For tens of thousands of years, we have protected the balance of this continent as noble beings that no one could dare challenge. We must immediately execute the humans who ignore our warnings and sicken the continent with endless greed!”
“The different species are also diseased. For war, dwarves dig up the earth. Elves burn forests for fuel.”
“We’ve also seen movements of evil beings. Great chaos has struck the continent!”
Dozens of ancient dragons spoke alternately one by one, and Hikaru felt dizzy.
Originally, he could have said “Yeah! Let’s go! Let’s go beat them all up!”
But?
Humans, different species, and evil beings were all allies.
Hikaru was currently in a position where he couldn’t fight.
‘If I unleash all of these…?’
He was scared.
The pressure he felt from them was real, so he was also afraid that Baek Jin-woo might get hurt.
“My Lord, why have you been giving no answers since earlier!”
“We wish to ask the reason for your hesitation!”
Just as the dragons were glaring and about to interrogate Hikaru.
A being that appeared to be a young dragon flew over urgently and bowed its head.
“My Lord!”
Everyone’s gaze focused on that being.
“Artificial great disasters are occurring throughout the continent. Mountain ranges are splitting, seas are surging up causing tsunamis to roll in, and large-scale earthquakes are occurring one after another.”
Displeasure flashed in the ancient dragons’ eyes.
“Where do you think this is, coming here directly to report such things!”
“Can’t you see we’re in an important meeting right now? Withdraw!”
“Right now, mere disasters aren’t what’s important.”
The ancient dragons pressed.
‘Tsk.’
Hikaru felt regretful.
He wanted to turn the topic to that young dragon…
That seemed better than starting a war immediately…
That’s when it happened.
“Artificial great disasters… If I may speak my personal opinion, I’m also curious about that.”
Kang Ji-ho raised his hand brightly and spoke.
Then he quickly whispered to Hwang Ji-woo with lip movements.
‘Politics, politics.’
Hwang Ji-woo, who understood the meaning, also raised her hand.
“I feel the same way. How urgent must it have been for this young dragon to interrupt our event just to make this report.”
“Right, whose doing is this!”
“Lord seems to be deep in thought, so let’s hear what this young dragon has to say.”
Shirato Sakura and Lori Sharp also tactfully joined in.
It was truly a fantastic coordination.
‘Ooh.’
Hikaru looked at Kang Ji-ho with a surprised expression.
Not bad.
He was too frantic earlier to think about it, but now that he thought about it, that was right.
Suddenly mountain ranges split and seas surge up?
Even earthquakes occur?
And this happens across the entire continent?
Could the dragons here really do such a thing?
‘No.’
There’s only one person capable of that.
‘Jinugod.’
It was certain.
It was Jinugod’s signal.
Kang Ji-ho had caught onto that immediately.
“Uh…”
The young dragon hesitated, then squeezed his eyes shut and answered.
“I still can’t believe it, but it was a young girl. Her race was… I think she was human. She was too fast for any dragon to see properly.”
A young girl?
The Rankers’ eyes lit up.
‘Aso!’
‘It’s Aso!’
‘She used One Flash Heaven and Earth and Thousand Mile Meteor!’
Kurrrrung!
Kang Ji-ho stomped his feet and expressed his anger.
“Human? How dare a human commit such an act! I must find and punish that person immediately!”
Wow.
Hikaru inwardly admired and clapped his hands.
What’s this.
Why is he so good at acting?
“Lord!”
Kang Ji-ho stared directly at Hikaru.
“We must find that insolent human right now!”
Good, Kang Ji-ho.
Keep pushing!
Make those suspicious ancient dragons focus their attention here! More! Do more!
“Rather than finding and killing her, we should all go together and capture that person!”
“Capture?”
One of the ancient dragons raised a question.
“Why bother capturing? Wouldn’t it be fine to just kill her?”
“Foolish words!”
Kang Ji-ho sharply rebuked.
“How could a human split mountain ranges, make seas surge, and cause earthquakes? If it’s a human with that level of power, she must be a continental mutant. How can someone who claims to maintain the continent’s balance speak of killing without even identifying her true nature!”
“That’s right.”
Hwang Ji-woo also nodded and encouraged.
“Such power might be a new threat we need to understand. Simply eliminating her might not be the answer. We need to capture her.”
Everyone joined forces to shape public opinion.
Most of the ancient dragons were convinced by the suggestion to capture her for experimentation and analysis.
‘Nice!’
Hikaru cheered inwardly.
Then he commanded in a solemn voice.
“Dragon Tribe, immediately identify the source of this great disaster and bring that person here!”
The Lord’s command was given.
“”We shall obey the Lord’s command.””
All the dragons nodded, and soon began scattering across the continent.
At that moment.
Rachel, the king of the Allied Tribes, also received the same report.
The heterogeneous tribes are sensitive to the environment.
Elves, fairies, druids, dwarves, sirens, orcs, and so on.
Since they were all beings who communed with nature, they detected the great disaster caused by Aso faster than anyone.
‘Aso.’
Indeed.
Rachel also immediately realized it was Aso.
She too had been pacing around wondering how to contact her, so it was easy to figure out.
“Grand Druid.”
“Speak, Your Majesty.”
And the Grand Druid, who was the supreme commander of the Allied Forces, was receiving information from the trees about where that being was located even at this very moment.
“Can you send a signal to that being?”
“What kind of signal do you mean?”
“Tell her that I wish to see her.”
“It’s dangerous.”
“No, it’s not dangerous.”
“…Then?”
“I know her well. Just use trees or earth, whatever works, and let her know my location.”
“How can Your Majesty know someone who destroys the great nature?”
“Right. That power is certainly dangerous and not a good power.”
“But why…!”
“Rather, I want to ask you, Grand Druid. Can you say that power is worse than humans?”
“…!”
The druid’s expression hardened.
Humans?
They were the race most hated by the current heterogeneous tribes.
“Who are the real destroyers of great nature on this continent? Those who tear down mountain ranges, burn forests, and pollute rivers and seas.”
“Humans.”
“But our Allied Tribes are still insufficient to face humans. We must acknowledge what needs to be acknowledged. Humans are as strong as they are greedy.”
“What does that have to do with someone who destroys great nature?”
“We must use her.”
“…!”
“Fight evil with evil. She’s probably a young girl. Isn’t that right?”
“How do you know that!”
The Grand Druid was shocked.
He hadn’t described the being’s appearance or race to the king.
Then did she really know this being?
“If we persuade her to join our side, we could win the war. Don’t worry. Nature’s recovery won’t be too late even after we eliminate the virus that has sickened the continent.”
“…Your Majesty.”
The Grand Druid, who had been contemplating for a moment, nodded his head.
“I will follow your will. I shall send the signal.”
The moment when Aso’s rampage would finally reach everyone!
Everything was flowing according to Baek Jin-woo’s intentions.
