I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 265
Earth Normalization (1)
Kwaagagagagaga!
With an explosive sound, dark red flames split the sky.
The city center dyed crimson.
A massive demon beast rose up and roared.
– Grwoooooooooooo!
Its height easily exceeded 30 meters, and like a living volcano, it spewed lava from its entire body.
A scene as if the gates of hell had opened.
Humanity was engulfed in terror.
However.
Shwaaaaaack!
With a thunderous roar that tore through the air, a beam flew from the sky and pierced right through the demon beast’s forehead!
Strange Bird’s (S-rank) claws!
“We’ll handle them one by one.”
It was the summoned creature of Hikaru, one of the returned expedition members.
That wasn’t all.
Kuagagagagak!
When the Archer God (S-rank) that appeared behind shot an arrow, an enormous tornado formed.
In an instant, hundreds of monsters were sucked up into the sky and torn apart.
Though they were inferior runes, thanks to accumulating massive experience in a short time, they displayed tremendous power.
“Wow.”
“As expected of Hikaru!”
“The expedition team really is different!”
The survivors who had been in despair burst into joyful cheers.
Not just Hikaru, but the other expedition members also displayed tremendous power one by one.
Controlling the 15 S-rank summoned creatures they each obtained from the factory, they cleared dozens and hundreds at once.
The time it took to completely clear the monsters that had gathered in Seoul was only 30 minutes.
And finally.
“Rachel!”
The 13 expedition members and Rachel met.
“What happened?”
They had many things they were curious about.
The expedition members wondered why the Tower of Trials had disappeared, where the Player Zone had gone, and why monsters were pouring out like this.
Rachel was curious about Baek Jin-woo’s survival, the expedition members who hadn’t arrived yet, and what had happened after crossing over to the Celestial Realm.
But there was no time.
There were still too many civilians dying.
The expedition team and Rachel, who spent about 10 minutes conveying their experiences to each other in the most condensed way possible, had to open their mouths in surprise.
With so much information coming in at once, there was a brief mental freeze…
For now, they decided to resolve the current situation first.
“We have a method.”
Hong Ari stepped forward.
“A method?”
Rachel asked back.
“We gather the monsters in one place.”
“The ones all over the world? How?”
“Sun-yeong unnie.”
“Yeah.”
“Let’s use Tempest Howl.”
Tempest Howl (S-rank).
One of the wolf-type S-rank summoned creatures obtained this time, it not only had wide-area aggro skills but was also a summoned creature capable of mob herding through typhoons.
“Okay.”
“And Hwang Ji-woo.”
“Yes!”
“Use Glacier Leviathan.”
“Yes, I understand immediately.”
Glacier Leviathan (S-rank) is an ice dragon that rules the deep sea.
A utility summoned creature similar to Mayeo, it has the ability to spread skills through ocean currents as long as seas are connected.
The expedition members had practiced many methods of linking each S-rank summoned creature while training with Hunkyo.
This was one of them.
Through Tempest Howl’s wide-area provocation and Glacier Leviathan’s transmission ability, they gather all the mobs on Earth to this location.
“…Will we be able to handle it?”
Rachel, who heard the explanation, worried.
She knew from traveling around and hunting in various places.
The ones occupying a single city were manageable enough… but if they gathered everything in one place?
No joke, it would be as vast an army as the combination of angels and demons that poured from the dimensional rift back then.
“Well.”
Rachel soon nodded her head.
Even if it was a bit dangerous, rescuing the survivors was the urgent priority.
Even if we somehow have the ability to endure, the majority are those without any power.
‘And.’
She had heard from the expedition members.
That Baek Jin-woo was alive.
That he had entered the core area to settle things with the System.
“Let’s call them. Let’s call them and endure. Until he comes.”
“Okay, executing immediately!”
At that moment, Tempest Howl howled.
– Aooooooooooooo!
Leviathan spread that howl that draws monsters far and wide through the water.
And.
The monsters began to react all at once.
The monsters that were massacring civilians, the monsters that were destroying buildings.
Swish, swoosh, swish!
They all turned their heads.
As if enchanted, they changed direction toward where the wolf’s howl was coming from.
“Ah, ahhh.”
“The, the monsters are moving!”
We’re saved. We’re saved, sob sob.”
Those who survived by a hair’s breadth shed tears.
The effect of the wide-area provocation was amazing.
So amazing that it was a problem.
Beyond the horizon of the West Sea, waves covered in black rolled in.
That wasn’t the sea.
“This is… too many…?”
Hong Ari was horrified.
The scene viewed from the sky looked as if the sea itself had transformed into monsters.
Thousands, tens of thousands of monsters covering the water surface were undulating like waves.
The West Sea was covered with monsters, transformed into a giant black carpet.
Kieeeek!
Grwoooo!
The monsters that arrived first began kicking off from the sea and climbing onto land.
Massive crustacean monsters raised their claws to the sky and trampled the coastline.
A tentacle monster over 30 meters long crawled out from the West Sea, swinging its tentacles as if exploring the ground.
Not only the sea, but the sky was also occupied.
Winged monsters flew in with momentum that seemed to devour the ocean.
Even more.
“Contact came from the Korean government!”
Rachel shouted.
“The east is the same!”
“…Even the east?”
The Pacific Ocean was there.
Were they crossing thousands of kilometers?
“They’re riding on sea monsters over hundreds of meters and crossing over!”
“Look at the footage!”
Humanity’s masterpiece, satellites, were beyond the monsters’ sphere of influence.
That’s why they could film things like this.
“…Insane.”
The footage was a spectacle.
Dozens of island-sized turtles were crawling with monsters.
Between them were monsters that could swim.
A great migration of monsters!
Guam and Hawaii had already been swept away.
Countless other islands had also been conquered by them and met their death.
If this wasn’t the apocalypse, what was?
Leaders of various countries, taking refuge in bunkers and communicating through satellite networks, fell into contemplation.
Was it right to inform civilians about this?
Hope had already disappeared.
The apocalypse was coming anyway…
Wouldn’t it just bring greater fear?
But it was already too late.
Major broadcasting stations worldwide had caught this and began transmitting.
– We are now facing the greatest crisis in human history.
– Monsters from all over the world are gathering in Korea! The scale of the massive migrating monster hordes is beyond imagination and they’re turning every place they pass through into ruins!
– Everyone evacuate! Reports say the deeper underground you hide, the higher your survival rate! We wish you all good fortune!
Yubaek City also reacted immediately.
Having already received all refugees, if there were any entrances sticking out?
They could become targets for monsters.
Moreover, this place, Geomdan, would soon be directly exposed to the monster wave.
“Let’s hide the entrance.”
Yu Ji-a decided.
“Good.”
Baek A-jin nodded.
“…”
The red button.
Just pressing it would lower the bunker entrance underground and completely cut off connection to the outside.
Not only that, but all electronic systems would also be severed.
She heard the expedition members had returned.
She also heard a brief explanation from Rachel.
Jin-woo was alive.
‘Then.’
He would definitely find a way.
For now, protecting the family he cherished most was the top priority.
Click!
When she pressed the button.
Kwarrrrrung!
The bunker entrance descended.
Now.
Humanity had only the final battle remaining.
Slash!
A monster’s head shot up into the air.
Black blood poured like a waterfall from the severed cross-section.
“Haak, haak!”
“Please send support here!”
“Wait!”
Hong Ari shouted.
With familiar control, she sent two phoenixes toward where the sound came from.
Whoooosh!
The two phoenixes that soared into the sky scattered flames as they dove down to the ground.
At the same time, the surrounding monsters were instantly engulfed in flames.
However.
“We’re being pushed back here too!”
“There’s no end!”
Hyaaaah! It’s dangerous!”
Desperate cries were heard again.
Even from the place she had helped just a minute ago.
‘Damn it.’
Hong Ari felt suffocated.
Her whole body began trembling.
She didn’t even know how many hours had passed now.
A fight with no end, no matter how many they killed!
‘I never knew it would be this hard without Gilma.’
She missed Aso and Pokryong’s refreshing strikes so much.
Especially the Meteor Sword Technique!
One strike of that would have swept away more than half of those filling the West Sea…
“Kyaaaah!”
Someone’s scream was heard.
She turned her gaze.
One of the Players was meeting death, pierced by a monster.
By the way, there were no protective barriers now either.
Even when attacking, she had to leave at least one means of defending herself.
“…”
How long had it been since she last slept?
By the way, the monster army crossing the Pacific hadn’t even arrived yet.
Accumulated fatigue.
Eyes that closed on their own if she lost focus for even a moment.
She felt like she was going crazy. She wanted to sleep, even just a little.
But she couldn’t stop.
Because of the hellscape unfolding before her eyes.
If she didn’t move, more Players would die.
The same was true for the other expedition members.
“Everyone snap out of it!”
“Let’s hold on just a little longer!”
“Haaaaaaah!”
“Support! We need support on the west side! One person isn’t enough! We need at least three more!”
Desperate cries rang out.
“Ha, hahaha.”
Rachel let out a self-deprecating laugh beside him.
– Kraaaaaaang!
A scream burst from Baekho’s mouth.
One of the monster’s claws had left a deep wound on his belly.
Red blood flowed down between his white fur.
‘There’s no time to even heal.’
No matter how much healing came in.
Since monsters were accumulating faster than they could kill them, it was becoming increasingly difficult to hold on.
It was hopeless.
Was this the end?
Really?
Should they give up everything!
It was at that moment.
Kiiiii?
Kiii?
The monsters that had been charging ferociously all stopped their assault at once.
Their eyes that had been flowing with murderous intent now held confusion.
As if they were entranced by something.
‘What’s this?’
‘Why are they suddenly acting like this?’
‘It’s easier for us, but…’
That’s when it happened.
Swish, swish!
The monsters began disappearing one by one.
The expedition members’ pupils dilated.
“Th-the monsters are disappearing!”
“What’s happening?”
Hearts began racing.
“Could it be…”
“Hyung-nim?”
“Is it really hyung-nim?”
“Guildmaster…?”
Despair vanished and an unknown hope began rising.
And at that moment.
[Now beginning Earth normalization process.]
A new message appeared in the vision of the assault team, Players, and all of humanity.
At that moment.
The world began to change.
Massive light poured down from all across the sky.
That light covered the entire world.
The monsters that had been disappearing began to completely evaporate.
The black waves that had covered the sea.
The monster legions that had devastated the cities.
All of them.
Their very existence vanished.
And.
[Everyone has worked hard.]
All the expedition members thought of one man’s name.
Baek Jin-woo.
He had finally done it!
He had returned!
“Wow.”
“Wow…”
“Waaaaaaaaaah!”
Thud.
The Players who had collapsed burst into cheers.
