I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 252
Warning (4)
– There are two methods, nya!
Mayeo opened her mouth.
– There’s a simple method and a complex method. Which one do you want to hear first, nya?
“Let’s go with the simple method first.”
– Just destroy the gate itself, nya. For that, you need overwhelming power, nya. Something like the combined force of Destruction Breath, One Flash Heaven and Earth, and Meteor Sword Technique?
“…That’s not so simple though?”
With that much power, couldn’t he really blow up a small planet if he did well?
A really small planet…
“Besides, I already used Destruction Breath. It’ll take almost 20 more hours to cool down. Just tell me the complex method.”
There was no time.
If a day passed like this?
The entire continent would probably be packed with their forces.
Were they running some kind of angel and demon replication factory…
Forces were still surging from that sky and ground.
At first, Pokryong was happy saying it was all stacks, but now it was too much of a good thing.
He was about to die from eating too many stacks.
– Got it, nya. Ahem!
After clearing her throat once, Mayeo continued her explanation.
– That gate must consume enormous energy because it needs to enable large-scale dimensional travel, nya! Even now, astronomical amounts of energy are being consumed to maintain that gate, nya!
“So?”
– Go inside that gate and find the source supplying that energy and destroy it, nya!
“…You want me to enter that gate?”
– Exactly, nya!
Normally, he might have thought it was no big deal!
But now it was definitely a big deal.
Because there was no protective barrier.
Even if Eila protected him, if he threw his body into that energy storm, he’d turn to dust without a trace.
– I didn’t call it complex for nothing, nya. The moment you go in there and the gate closes? There’s a high probability that whoever crossed over won’t be able to come back to this side, nya. Since it’s a completely different dimension, who knows what might happen, nya.
Sigh.
His head was already aching.
Hearing that explanation, the first option really did become the simple method.
“But, Baek Jin-woo.”
Rachel interjected.
“What if we all just cross over together and don’t come back?”
“Huh?”
“Think about it. This continent and the Celestial Realm over there are both part of the Tower of Trials.”
“Ah?”
Baek Jin-woo’s eyes widened.
Why bother with closing the gate or not!
What if they just crossed over and sealed the gate tight?
The continental forces, demons, and remaining Celestial Realm forces would be left here unable to find their way.
That’s not bad?
And if they were going, they absolutely had to go to the Celestial Realm.
During the Battle of Summoners era.
The Demon Realm was floors 81-85, and the Celestial Realm was floors 86-90.
What did that mean?
‘The Celestial Realm is closer to the 100th floor.’
The respected Admiral Yi Sun-sin had said.
Death before dishonor.
If they were going, they might as well climb even higher.
If he climbed with the mindset of dying, wouldn’t another path to survival emerge?
“Then what’s the method to cross over?”
Rachel smiled as if asking why he was only asking now.
“I’ve been saving my Great Wizard skill for just this moment.”
“Oh?”
“9th Circle, Absolute Sky Dome.”
“What’s that?”
“It creates an Absolute Shield in dome form within a certain radius. It completely blocks space and perfectly suppresses all forms of external interference.”
Providing a completely safe zone.
That wasn’t all.
She could also lift the targets inside the dome high into the sky.
It would provide certain safety when crossing through that gate.
“Really…”
Baek Jin-woo gave a thumbs up.
Honestly, Great Wizard?
You deserve EX-grade too.
If Baek Jin-woo had used it in the past game, wouldn’t it have been isolated and received an EX-grade rating?
“Then let’s cross over right away! There’s no time! Everyone gather!”
“Gather!”
“Please gather!”
Crossing over looked easy in words, but it was an extremely difficult task.
First, since the Players couldn’t just cross over alone, all summoned creatures had to gather.
The number was no joke.
Even with just 10 each, that was a whopping 200 creatures.
Moreover?
They had to continue fighting while clustered in one place until the Sky Dome was deployed.
It was such a small number vs. large number situation.
Being clustered together would be disadvantageous.
The Dragon Tribe would use breath attacks, and the angels would unleash area skills.
‘But there’s no choice.’
He had to try as much as possible.
Thanks to the Great Wizard’s presence, he had caught the best chance to turn the tide.
“Everyone pour out everything for the last time! It’s fine to consume all your MP, so give it your all!”
Baek Jin-woo shouted.
– Everyone take cover.
At the same time.
Pokryong lifted the Flame Dragon high into the sky.
The final breath that gathered all the accumulated Pokryong energy and released it at once.
Pokryong Technique.
Secret Art.
Destruction.
There was no more power control now.
Using all his strength to push back the forces and gather the scattered summoned creatures.
Kwaaaaaaaaa!
The stream of fire that the Fire Dragon spewed erased everything visible before them.
– Haa, haa.
Pokryong gripped the dragon head staff with both hands and panted.
Though his damage was stronger than anyone’s, even Pokryong couldn’t help but get exhausted when casting this much magic.
“Is Pokryong okay?”
– I can still hold on!
Cough!
Dark red blood poured from Pokryong’s mouth.
Using the Pokryong Faction techniques too rapidly in a short time, combined with the prolonged battle, had caused internal damage!
‘Damn.’
Baek Jin-woo’s heart sank accordingly.
One of his strongest forces.
If Pokryong was neutralized, it would truly be the end.
“What are you all doing!”
Rachel shouted at the top of her lungs.
“Hurry over here! Don’t fight them head-on, just retreat!”
One by one.
They began gathering in the area.
The Great Wizard’s magic manifestation preparations were already complete.
All that remained was for Aso and the Destruction Dragon to enter.
Skwagagagaga!
Aso horizontally sliced across the ground with her One Flash Heaven and Earth technique.
All living beings standing on the ground within the radius were cut in half, their upper and lower bodies separated.
– Krwalarararara!
As for the Destruction Dragon, it was covered in blood all over its body.
This war was no joke if even that powerful dragon was exhausted.
When they entered the area while unleashing powerful skills until the very end.
Great Wizard.
9 Circles.
Absolute Skydome.
Wooooong!
Absolute Skydome was activated.
This was Rachel’s final move.
If reverse-summoned from the Tower of Trials, she would need to exit the tower and reconfigure settings to be summoned again.
In other words?
It was a trump card used with the resolve to sacrifice an S-rank summon.
“Hong Ari.”
Rachel smiled slightly.
“Yeah.”
“This is the skill I traded for being eliminated from the preliminaries.”
“…I acknowledge it, it’s the best.”
Hong Ari gave a thumbs up.
She had changed a lot too.
Having faced this situation in the Tower of Trials, what importance could league victory possibly have?
‘If I get out of here.’
Training, no matter what.
Coming here made her realize once again how powerless she was.
Kugugugugugu…!
Our bodies began floating in the air.
Absolute Skydome formed a perfect circle, and accordingly, we floated in the air with even the floor cut out.
“Wow.”
“We’re really flying!”
The members marveled at the mystique of magic.
However, everyone kept their guard up.
Outside the skydome was truly a hellish scene.
Countless angels and demons were still firing endless skills.
So many were being unleashed that visibility was severely impaired.
But the dome didn’t shake at all.
All attacks, the moment they touched the barrier, spread like gentle ripples and vanished futilely.
“This is pretty overpowered. An area-wide invincibility skill.”
Kang Ji-ho muttered.
The dome began moving toward the Gate of the Heavens while floating.
“The duration is 5 minutes.”
Rachel said with a stern expression.
“We have to cross that gate within that time. No matter what.”
“Please.”
“I’ll pray.”
“Let’s survive, let’s survive, let’s survive.”
There was nothing the members could do now.
Just wait and trust the Great Wizard’s piloting!
After one minute passed, we had risen so high into the sky that the continental forces looked like ants.
Now only flying angels and demons surrounded us.
Persistent, so persistent.
Wouldn’t they give up at this point?
And then.
[Warning! Warning! Warning!]
[Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning!]
[Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning!]
…
[Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning!]
The system was continuously sending warning messages as if it had malfunctioned.
“Geez, really. Tone it down a bit. Such desperate struggling.”
Gi Jae-hyeok grumbled.
“Must be pretty urgent.”
Kang Ji-ho chuckled too.
All the members mocked the system.
So wouldn’t it have been better if you hadn’t given us such ridiculous missions?
Then we would have lived well as your puppets like we are now.
[If you do not cease immediately, a fatal penalty will be activated!]
“Fatal penalty?”
“Hahahaha!”
“After giving us every penalty possible so far, you’re threatening us with penalties again?”
“Go ahead and try! You bastards!”
The members got excited.
They couldn’t help but be angry.
[Rachel Rose, withdraw that magic immediately!]
Now it was even specifying names to make them stop their actions.
‘That’s certain.’
The system could only adjust situations, not directly intervene in our actions.
The same went for abilities.
It seemed unable to take away abilities that had already been developed.
This was good news for us.
Whatever situation it presented, we could survive as long as we overcame it.
The dome continued moving.
Leaving a golden trajectory, they had finally approached the Gate of the Heavens that had opened wide.
Kwagagagagaga!
The closer they got to the gate, the fiercer the attacks became.
Since the forces emerging from that gate immediately attached themselves to their side, their entire field of vision was now blocked.
Everywhere they looked in all directions was filled with angels.
We were the lamp.
Those angels were just like moths to a flame.
4 minutes had already passed.
Now there was exactly 1 minute left until maintenance ended.
“Now, we break through!”
It didn’t matter if their vision was blocked.
The Great Wizard had already calculated all the trajectory coordinates, and the dome moved at a constant speed regardless of the angels clinging to it.
“30 seconds now.”
Just as Rachel muttered in a tense voice.
[A new personal mission is being assigned to Rachel Rose.]
“Wait, what?”
Rachel’s eyes widened.
“Why.”
“Why?!”
The members tilted their heads in confusion, as this message seemed to appear only for Rachel.
[Manifest the Great Wizard’s (S-rank) 9th Circle magic, ‘Absolute Sky Dome’!]
[The moment you manifest it, you will achieve the clear condition for the 80th Floor of the Tower of Trials!]
“…!”
Rachel’s pupils dilated.
“Wait a minute.”
What did that mean?
Her heart sank.
For now, just in case, she quickly relayed the message that appeared to Baek Jin-woo as well.
“Tower, these damn bastards…. Don’t tell me it’s me?”
[Congratulations!]
[Tower of Trials 80th Floor individual clear!]
[‘Only’ Rachel Rose will be moved outside the tower!]
“Damn it, fuck!”
In the end, she let out a curse.
The members who received the situation report were shocked.
“Th-then the dome!”
Everyone realized at that moment.
The dome’s maintenance condition was Rachel, and if she disappeared, the dome would collapse too.
Even if the System couldn’t directly harm us, it could still set missions.
“N-no!”
Rachel screamed and grabbed onto her own body.
But her body was already slowly turning into light.
Kugugugugugu…!
The dome was also gradually developing cracks.
“No! I’m not going! I said I’m not going! Baek Jin-wooooo!”
“Crazy.”
Baek Jin-woo’s jaw also dropped.
“This is….”
It seemed like they were totally screwed.
The situation was heading toward the worst possible outcome.
