I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 270

Destruction Dragon (3)

Unregistered entity?

Transcendent Management System?

This was a situation that even Earth hadn’t anticipated.

And then.

[The Akashic Records analyze your life and abilities.]

“…What?”

Baek Jin-woo flinched.

He felt a strange sensation as if some being’s gaze was sweeping through his mind once.

Countless fragments of light.

It felt like film from a movie was rewinding rapidly.

Battle of Summoners, his first battle on Earth, climbing the Tower of Trials, days spent with his summons, the fight with Earth, the Arbitrator’s threats, and so on.

‘What is this?’

[Judgment result.]

[Unsuitable for immediate approval as a Transcendent.]

[Confirmed that you did not leave the planet by your own power, but with the help of planetary force.]

[An Observer Council is convened for decision.]

– Kwaaaaaa!

Even in the midst of this, the Destruction Dragon continued moving forward.

The Solar System was getting smaller and smaller.

Now the sun was just one small star.

Earth and the surrounding planets weren’t even visible.

“….”

Darkness surrounded them on all sides.

But it wasn’t complete darkness.

Far away, the galactic belt spread faintly, and countless stars twinkled, showing off their existence.

With the Destruction Dragon’s wing beats, tiny nebula remnants barely affected by gravity scattered and changed shape.

Massive meteors floated here and there.

Having left the Solar System, the laws here were more primitive and harsh.

[Summoning five Observers.]

[‘Orin’ enters.]

[‘Ret’ enters.]

[‘Mir’ enters.]

[‘Legion’ enters.]

[‘Annihilator’ enters.]

Messages continued to appear even during this.

“….”

Baek Jin-woo just watched.

He didn’t know what they were doing, but it wasn’t something he could do anything about anyway.

[Observers, please review the analysis records and judge whether to register as a Transcendent.]

‘Transcendent, huh.’

Baek Jin-woo speculated inwardly.

Earlier, when leaving the planet, they said he received help from planetary force.

Then….

Do they call beings who can come out into space on their own ‘Transcendents’?

Those like the Wuji Immortal that Earth mentioned.

It might be that beings who see the extreme of martial arts in one world and ascend become ‘Transcendents’.

[‘Orin’ says it’s interesting.]

[Says it’s worth registering if you undergo a test.]

[‘Orin’ casts a vote in favor.]

Orin, huh.

Some unknown being was interested in him.

Baek Jin-woo expressed gratitude inwardly.

Anyway, approval was good, right?

[‘Ret’ also says it’s fascinating.]

[Says it’s rare to be a Transcendent who raises summons rather than cultivating oneself.]

[‘Ret’ casts a vote in favor.]

Right.

Thanks to Ret too.

[‘Mir’ casts a vote against.]

What!

Against?

I’ll remember you.

This guy called Mir had no reason either.

He just cast his vote and stayed quiet.

[‘Legion’ casts a vote in favor.]

[Says this insignificant being would have difficulty bringing great change to the universe anyway.]

Legion was in favor.

And lastly.

[‘Annihilator’ casts a vote against.]

[Says it’s a vote to give a test.]

A test?

Orin said it earlier too.

That it would be worth registering if he underwent a test.

What could that be.

[Voting is complete.]

[3 in favor, 2 against]

[The conclusion is ‘conditional approval’.]

Kuguuuuu!

Suddenly the surrounding space began to distort.

– Krrrr?

The Destruction Dragon panicked and stopped flapping its wings.

[You will be registered as an official Transcendent upon completing the designated mission.]

[The mother planet of Shimheochwi detects your location.]

[Face the Shimheochwi.]

Shimheochwi?

The space before his eyes warped, and suddenly a massive dark planet appeared.

Its surface looked like bumpy keratin, and it seemed to convey the unpleasant texture of living organic skin.

– Kieek!

– Kiaaak!

The planet’s surface writhed, and countless insect-like life forms began crawling out.

[Shimheochwi are giant insectoid life forms that wander the universe, parasites that drain the life force of planets.]

[A proper Transcendent should be able to handle Shimheochwi at least.]

They flashed their red eyes and watched Baek Jin-woo and the Destruction Dragon.

“…Crazy.”

They wanted him to face those things?

Honestly, he felt like he might faint.

The suddenly appearing Transcendent Management System or whatever was already confusing, and now sudden combat.

‘But.’

It was good that I came out after all.

If I hadn’t come out and just stayed stuck on Earth, I might have had to face the Arbitrator without knowing anything.

By gaining combat experience against things like that and gradually learning about the system here… maybe I could unravel clues that seemed impossible before?

“Everyone, come out.”

When Baek Jin-woo gestured, all eight summoned creatures appeared behind the Destruction Dragon.

– Kiyak!

Ramba was horrified.

– What is that! It’s disgusting!

“Stop complaining and swing quickly.”

– U, understood!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Eila had appropriately distributed more than half of Earth’s planetary power to the EX-grade summoned creatures.

Therefore, their destructive power was on a completely different level than before.

To what extent…

Even hundreds of Baek Jin-woo from the old days couldn’t handle the current Baek Jin-woo.

Of course, all of that was by Earth’s standards.

Therefore…

It was hard to expect that critical hits would apply to those bugs as well.

Power is always relative, after all.

Swoosh.

Aso raised his sword.

– Father.

“Yeah.”

– I’ll show you. This is the Second Form of Meteor Swordsmanship.

“Oh.”

He’s been training hard all this time, and there’s been another development!

If the First Form of Meteor Swordsmanship uses one meteor fragment, the Second Form uses two.

Kugugugugugu!

Two giant meteors appeared in the sky.

Crack crack crack!

They began to crack and shatter.

Kwagagagagagaga!

Each piece became Aso’s sword strike and began to assault the ranks of the Shim Heo-chung.

Heavy explosive sounds rang out consecutively, and dozens of them burst into flames on the spot.

– Uwaaaaat! As expected, Aso!

Ramba cheered.

‘Good!’

Baek Jin-woo also clenched his fist.

The fact that Aso’s attack was effective was good news in itself.

– Krolararara!

The Destruction Dragon didn’t stay idle either.

Having finally found real stability, it roared powerfully and flew toward the planet.

And.

As they gradually got closer, the planet’s gravity began to be felt.

“Oh no.”

We’re falling.

More precisely, we’re being pulled toward the planet.

– Kiaaaaak!

Even though Aso had burned them, there were countless individual Shim Heo-chung.

Thousands, tens of thousands poured out and filled the space.

‘A transcendent is supposed to be able to handle things like this?’

They’re strong.

Even when Hunkyo swung his sword.

Clang!

The sword bounced off their heavy exoskeletons.

Scrape scrape scrape!

Even Doldoli’s scythe had to be swung dozens of times to maybe take down one.

Moreover, if we fell to the center of that planet… the situation would obviously become more unfavorable.

After all, that was the Shim Heo-chung’s main base.

‘Let me think.’

Baek Jin-woo gritted his teeth.

In this situation, just fighting recklessly would be endless.

Even if the Shim Heo-chung fell one by one, as long as that planet existed, they would continue to pour out.

It would just be a war of attrition.

‘It would be nice if Pokryong was here, but…’

I promised.

This time I would solve it without Pokryong.

‘Shim Heo-chung.’

They called them the parasites of the universe, right?

Then their basic ecological structure would be like devouring planets.

They would suck up planetary energy, and when they’ve sucked it all up, they’d leave to find another planet.

– Kiaaaaak!

Now the bugs had approached nearby.

Crack!

It was when the Destruction Dragon was flying through the sky, clawing at the approaching ones.

– Master!

Mayeo shouted.

– These guys. They’re one giant organic structure, nya!

“Huh?”

– Do you see over there, nya?

Mayeo pointed somewhere with her finger.

An enormously large mass came into view.

It was a giant tissue that writhed regularly like a heart.

The dark red surface was vibrating minutely, and bright red liquid was flowing stickily through the gaps.

– That’s the core, nya!

Mayeo’s eyes flashed.

– That core is connected to all the Shim Heo-chung, nya! If we destroy that, all the Shim Heo-chung will stop, nya!

A low growling vibration spread from the core that pulsed like a heart.

That sound wasn’t just a simple pulsation, but gave off an intimidating feeling as if a living being was warning them.

Baek Jin-woo could also instinctively tell.

That was the key.

If we just eliminate that, it would be over.

“Myeongmang-a.”

– Krolararararara!

The Destruction Dragon changed direction.

At that moment.

The core also seemed to recognize us and showed a powerful reaction.

Kuuuuuuung!

The giant tissue writhed and gave commands to the surrounding Shim Heo-chung.

When the tentacles momentarily glowed red and transmitted signals, countless Shim Heo-chung began moving frantically.

Thousands, tens of thousands of creatures flapped their wings in unison, approaching as if to protect the core.

– Master, it seems the defense mechanism has been activated.

“Looks like it’ll be tough to break through.”

– But we have to do it.

Swoosh.

Baek Jin-woo pulled out a red orb from his pocket.

If all his summons were reverse-summoned, he would break this immediately.

“Let’s go.”

They would break through no matter what.

Now it was a fight of whether they could break through and pierce the core or not.

– Grwoooooooo!

– Let’s go together.

Jakgeo and Dampir leaped to the front and began drawing aggro.

Countless Symbiotic Parasites could be seen swarming toward them.

‘Ugh.’

The price was harsh.

Jakgeo’s sturdy body began to crack.

“Now!”

Of course, thanks to that, a gap opened up.

The Destruction Dragon flew quickly in that direction.

– Master, see you later.

Dampir’s body was torn apart and reverse-summoned.

Jakgeo also began to shatter into pieces.

The teeth of the Symbiotic Parasites were that powerful.

‘If this happens.’

He wouldn’t be able to summon Jakgeo and Dampir anymore.

To summon them again?

He would have to go to Earth and replenish his planetary power.

Because Baek Jin-woo’s current summons were planetary power itself.

‘The moment I was worried about has come.’

What Rachel and Eila were most worried about was returning to Earth without any gains.

He hated that more than anything.

Shwaaaaaaack!

As the Destruction Dragon flew, the Symbiotic Parasites began surrounding it again.

“Myeongmang-a!”

Craaaack!

The Destruction Dragon opened its mouth without hesitation.

Even without being told, it knew exactly what to do.

And then.

Skwaaaaaaaaaa!

A destruction breath was fired.

It was a breath powerful enough to annihilate all the bugs surrounding the front.

A large hole was pierced through.

Kwaddddd!

The core reacted as well.

That massive flesh moved instantaneously and created an absorption barrier.

And it withstood the breath.

‘Crazy.’

It blocked that?

That wasn’t all.

Shuak, shuaak!

Tentacles that suddenly emerged stretched out in an instant and struck the Destruction Dragon.

– Kroarara!

The Destruction Dragon roared and thrashed its body, but dozens of tentacles had already wrapped around it, squeezing like they were wringing out blood.

Its wings were bound, and the bugs rushed in.

Red blood began flowing between the Destruction Dragon’s scales.

By the way, Myeongmang couldn’t die.

Because it was a real extraterrestrial being, not planetary power.

‘Quickly.’

He had to quickly destroy that core!

He had to stop these bugs!

“Asooooo!”

– I know!

Aso leaped in.

Then he swung his wooden sword down precisely toward the clustered core.

Mugeok Cheongeom Technique.

Meteor Sword Technique.

Second Form.

Kwagagagagaga!

The bugs burned well, but indeed the core’s defense was no joke.

It spewed out tentacles and blocked the meteor fragments well.

However, Aso had been concentrating continuously from earlier.

With the sharp gaze of a martial artist, he kept trying to find his opponent’s openings.

As a result.

– An opening.

He saw a very slight gap that opened whenever tentacles emerged.

Toward that spot.

– I’ll cut it.

Mugeok Cheongeom Technique.

One Flash Heaven and Earth.

Fourth Form.

The sword strike of One Flash Heaven and Earth pierced precisely into the opened spot and cut through.

At that moment.

– Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

The core’s red tentacles convulsed and began writhing madly.

Was this its final struggle?

Aso’s eyes gleamed.

Swoosh!

He stepped on Thousand-Li Meteor and thrust his body right through the cut gap.

He had entered completely inside the mass.

And then.

Pacheon Singong Second Form.

Thousand Sword Wild Dance.

Mastery.

He began unleashing tremendous consecutive strikes that could slash a thousand times in a single moment.
