I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 248

New Continent (5)

Aso realized something while defeating the Red Dragon.

What the Dragon Tribe had done to track her down.

– I see.

Aso sighed and relaxed her arms.

Not a speck of dust was on her martial arts uniform.

– No wonder they kept following me no matter how much I ran.

The method seemed simple yet complex.

They used magic called mana resonance, sharing Aso’s unique mana signature among all the Dragon Tribe.

And then?

Each Great Dragon spread across the continent and deployed their domains, coming to find her whenever they sensed that unique mana.

So no matter how much she kept running, Great Dragons would inevitably appear!

It was truly a method only races sensitive to mana could employ.

– So this Dragon Lord told you to capture me?

“That’s right.”

Kras Peil, who had transformed into a red-haired human male, answered.

– Why?

“Didn’t I tell you earlier? We dragons maintain and protect the balance of the continent. Since you disrupted the continent, we have no choice but to make you pay the price. By the way, what exactly are you? You don’t seem like an ordinary human.”

Kras Peil saw extraordinary power in Aso.

Power that could never be seen on this continent.

“Are you a being from the Demon Realm or Heaven? Or are you some god we don’t know about?”

– You don’t need to know.

“Why not! Didn’t I tell you everything!”

– That’s obviously because I won. If you don’t like it, try winning yourself.

“….”

The dragon had nothing to say.

At least it was fortunate that despite being able to kill him, she chose not to.

– Anyway, if the Dragon Tribe’s goal is to take me away… Guide me.

“Really?”

– I happened to have business with the Dragon Tribe too.

Kras Peil was surprised.

Then why did we fight?

His face was filled with confusion.

“I have no idea what you’re thinking. If that was the case, you should have said you had business instead of running away from the start. A total of 24 Great Dragons were mobilized to capture you. Including adult dragons and young dragons, it’s over 100 individuals.”

– You guys could have solved it through dialogue too instead of attacking and trying to capture me out of nowhere, right?

“…Even if we had done that, didn’t you have enough power to avoid it anyway.”

– I’m curious about something.

“Huh?”

– Why are you talking back so much since earlier? Do you want to get beaten more? Or did you get hit in the head too much and get brain damage?

“….”

– Losers should keep quiet. Just move as you’re told. If you keep running that mouth, I’ll kill you and go to another dragon nearby.

“Understood.”

Aso had become a thug.

Naturally.

Since her father was Baek Jin-woo, she was just copying what she had seen and learned.

For Kras Peil, it wasn’t bad either.

Lord had ordered him to capture her anyway, and now she was coming directly to that den where Great Dragons were gathered?

It was practically something to welcome with open arms.

‘No matter how amazing you are, you won’t be able to handle numerous Great Dragons.’

Of course, he didn’t voice his inner thoughts.

Kras Peil was afraid of that wooden sword.

– Is this the dragons’ sacred ground?

“That’s right. This Magma Mountain Range is the center of our Dragon Tribe and the sacred ground directly ruled by Lord. If you act recklessly here, I can’t guarantee your life.”

– You were silent earlier, but now your mouth has come back to life?

“Of course. Great Dragons who have already confirmed your existence are gathering.”

Snicker.

Aso laughed.

She could have hit him, but she held back since he had the merit of bringing her here.

They went a little deeper inside.

– Oh.

Aso’s expression brightened.

It was because she spotted Hikaru sitting on Lord’s throne in the massive cave.

“Lord.”

Kras Peil bowed his head.

Behind him.

Swoosh, swoosh!

Even now, Great Dragons were gathering from all over the continent.

Word had spread that Aso had been captured.

“I have brought the source of calamity!”

“Good work. But did you really capture her?”

“Of course.”

“Then why does that girl you captured look fine, while your condition looks quite bad?”

“A, ahem.”

“Well, good job anyway. I’ll talk to that girl directly myself, so everyone step back for a moment.”

“Lord!”

Kras Peil quickly raised his bowed head.

“Alone is dangerous! That girl’s power is extraordinary.”

“Are you saying a girl you captured alone is dangerous for me to face alone? Does that make sense?”

“Well, that’s…”

Red Dragons have strong pride.

But he had to say what needed to be said.

“Actually, I lost in combat. That being came to me saying she wanted to meet Lord and guided me here.”

At that statement, the Great Dragons stirred.

“Really?”

“Kras Peil lost?”

“Wasn’t he among the top tier of Red Dragons?”

“That’s right.”

“More than that, how can a human defeat a dragon?”

Everyone seemed unable to believe it.

Rather, it was fortunate.

“Everyone step back. It’s Lord’s command.”

Hikaru spoke strongly once more.

Kang Ji-ho, who had been watching, showed his wit once again.

“Lord. Since they said alone would be dangerous, I’ll remain to assist you. If I’m not enough, Hwang Ji-woo, Shirato Sakura, and Lori Sharf, who were vocal about catching that kid earlier, will stay as well. Surely you don’t think that child could win against five Great Dragons including Lord.”

Ooh.

Hikaru’s eyes lit up.

‘Kang Ji-ho. That guy.’

His sense has been incredible since earlier.

Are all SKY members like this?

Hikaru envied Korea, which was rich in talent.

“Then do as you wish.”

When the four Great Dragons said they would remain, only then did the other Great Dragons retreat without complaint.

Finally, they had succeeded in meeting with Aso without interference!

“Aso.”

Hikaru stood up.

“What happened?”

“Well…”

The five members listened to Aso’s explanation.

“Everyone is supposed to gather at the center of the Human Empire, Jeno Polis?”

– Yeah, Father told me to tell you.

“Huh.”

“Haah.”

“Hmm.”

The members who heard the story let out deep sighs.

Aso tilted her head.

– Why? Is something wrong?

“Actually…”

Hikaru had also been learning about the culture of the dragons here.

As a result, he learned one shocking fact…

“The Dragon Lord cannot leave this place, the Magma Mountain Range.”

– Huh? Why?

“This is really an absurd restriction… Inside the mountain range, specifically this place called the Flame’s Heart, is the central point that maintains the mana balance of the entire continent.”

– What?

“If the Dragon Lord leaves here, the flow of mana across the entire continent could become twisted and cause disasters.”

– …

Aso had a face that didn’t understand.

– But does the Lord have to do that? Can’t another dragon do it?

“Exactly.”

Kang Ji-ho, who was beside them, grumbled.

“The Lord position is a complete hell job.”

– Hell job?

The opposite of a cushy job.

“Even though the Great Dragons seem to follow the Lord, when you really look at it, they’re all keeping him in check. There’s the fact that they watch him closely because of the heavy responsibility he carries, and anyway, he’s someone those proud Great Dragons have to respect.”

– Hmm, then what should we do?

“Hmm.”

Hikaru grabbed his chin.

“How about I stay here for now, and only take the other members?”

– No, that won’t work…

Aso became dejected.

Father absolutely wanted to gather all the members together.

If one of them was missing?

Mission failure.

Aso didn’t want to see Father disappointed.

“There’s no other way besides that. Unless we beat up all those swarming Great Dragons, it’s impossible.”

– Oh, we just need to beat them up?

Swish.

Aso drew the wooden sword from her waist and raised it.

“Can you beat them?”

Hikaru’s face lit up.

Actually, it was an uncertain situation.

He knew Aso was amazing, but the group of Great Dragons here was also formidable.

To get even a sense of who would win, you’d need to be at that level, but unfortunately Hikaru wasn’t at that level.

– I’ll try. I think it might be possible.

Whirl!

Aso spun the wooden sword and gripped it properly.

– Everyone leave for the Central Area now. If any Great Dragon says anything, I’ll kill them all.

The remaining members made eye contact with each other.

Then they nodded.

Aso was not only strong, but her evasion ability was ridiculously overpowered.

Even if she couldn’t win, she wouldn’t die.

And even if she died, well.

Being reverse-summoned would be the end of it, wouldn’t it?

After exchanging brief farewells, Hikaru and the four members flew up into the sky.

The Magma Mountain Range fell into chaos.

The Lord had left his position.

The Great Dragons realized this fact before long, and it soon led to an explosion of anger.

“The Lord leaving this place! Is he in his right mind!”

“As the Lord, there are laws he should naturally uphold! This is problematic!”

“What on earth did that human girl do to make the Lord move directly?”

As the Great Dragons who heard the news gathered, the atmosphere of the mountain range began to grow heavy.

“Catch him immediately.”

“Let’s capture the Lord and hold him accountable!”

“I never liked him from the beginning!”

Several Great Dragons transformed into dragons and tried to leave, but there was already one being who had seized air superiority…

– Where do you think you’re going?

It was Aso.

She was stepping on empty air with a wooden sword hanging at her side, surveying the entire mountain range.

“Insolent human.”

“Is this your doing? Making the Lord leave?”

“We were going to kill you anyway, but now you need to die faster.”

Due to the commotion in the sky, other Great Dragons also came outside.

– Inhale, exhale.

Tremendous pressure bore down on Aso, but she simply breathed out lightly.

Before she knew it, Geoncheong-simgong had reached 4-star level.

When the hot heat of the Magma Mountain Range entered her lungs, it became the cool air of the sky.

The more she breathed, the more the pressure surrounding Aso disappeared.

Rather, her presence cut through the air and became clearly revealed.

“She doesn’t seem to be an ordinary human.”

“She’s withstanding our pressure?”

“Eliminating her quickly would benefit the continent!”

The Great Dragons approached while emanating their aura, but Aso didn’t even look at those dragons.

– Thousand-Li Meteor…

This journey had yielded considerable results.

After countless leaps through the air and cutting through the atmosphere, she had somehow advanced from the existing 2-star to 3-star level.

Aso continued thinking even while running.

She strived to understand the flow of meteors within speed, and even while moving, she kept recalling the essence of swordsmanship.

And.

– I can feel it.

Grip.

Strength flowed into the hand gripping the wooden sword.

It felt like he was just about to grasp it.

– Meteor Sword Technique.

The supreme swordsmanship of the Wuji Immortal, a secret technique of the Mugeok Cheongeom Technique and a martial art one level higher than the One Flash Heaven and Earth!

The wooden sword trembled slightly in the air, and in an instant, an illusion of thousands of starlight flickering appeared behind the wooden sword.

Freeze!

The bodies of the dragons who caught a glimpse of that vision stiffened.

“…What was that just now?”

“What did you do.”

“I’m not sure if I can believe it, but I think I just saw fragments of meteors from that wooden sword.”

“If it were just meteors, that would be fortunate… I saw thousands of meteors.”

9th Circle magic, Meteor Strike.

A magic that drops meteorites to devastate continents, the ultimate fire attribute magic that could be called the final boss of its kind.

Even the Great Dragons would have to draw out all the mana from their hearts to use such magic.

But?

They saw such magic from that wooden sword.

Not just one, but thousands of them.

Does that even make sense?

– Ha.

Whether he knew their feelings or not, Aso continued tilting his head and concentrating.

– It feels like it should work, but it doesn’t.

He could see the flow of stars.

He needed to bring those stars with his wooden sword and draw them out.

Meteor Sword Technique?

It wasn’t simply a sword technique that looked like meteors.

With one swing, he had to summon ‘real’ meteors!

Aso’s wooden sword continued to sparkle like starlight.

Meteor Sword Technique.

That absurdly overpowered martial art was on the verge of manifesting in Aso’s hands.
