I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 272

Melseryong (5)

‘I had my suspicions, but…’

Baek Jin-woo smiled bitterly.

‘To think that Melseryong was the Destruction Dragon’s mother.’

At the same time, he pulled out a red orb from his chest.

If she tried to attack once more, he was prepared to shatter the orb immediately.

– Child! Why, why are you protecting that insect? You are a proud member of the Dragon Tribe.

– Kiaaaak!

However, the Destruction Dragon showed strong hostility.

It felt as if it was telling her not to speak to our master in such a manner.

Melseryong’s eyes wavered for a moment, then she growled again.

– It’s you! You corrupted my child! What exactly did you do!

“Hmm.”

Baek Jin-woo slowly took a deep breath.

Then he approached the Destruction Dragon and stroked its head.

The hostility decreased slightly.

‘First of all.’

If that really was the Destruction Dragon’s mother, Baek Jin-woo couldn’t treat her carelessly either.

Baek Jin-woo’s motto was always to care for his summoned creatures.

They were beings who devoted their loyalty to him, so how could he treat their blood relatives roughly?

“I think there’s a misunderstanding. I’ve never corrupted your child.”

– You speak nonsense. If it wasn’t corrupted, would it fail to recognize its mother and bare its fangs?

“Think rationally. Myeongmang clearly recognizes you. When we came out into this universe, it was the one flapping its wings most excitedly.”

– Then why?

Melseryong emanated an aura of incomprehension.

“You’ll have to ask your child directly about that. And.”

Baek Jin-woo pressed forward strongly.

“Usually, when someone takes care of a lost child, shouldn’t ‘thank you’ come first?”

– You speak madness. The Dragon Tribe never shows gratitude to other races.

“What a pathetic race.”

– What?

Kwagagagaga!

Melseryong explosively spread her wings wide.

A powerful pressure that distorted the space of the universe pressed down on Baek Jin-woo.

‘This is, what.’

There’s no answer to this.

But Baek Jin-woo had no intention of hiding his emotions.

Originally, negotiation was about momentum.

If he cowered here and groveled?

Even negotiations that could succeed wouldn’t work.

If he got scared?

He’d just break the orb.

– How dare you insult our Dragon Tribe? If my child wasn’t blocking the way, you would have already disappeared like dust!

Even under pressure, Baek Jin-woo didn’t back down.

There were no other options anyway.

If he could appease that Melseryong and gain something from it, he had to try.

“Don’t get excited. If I die, your child dies too.”

– Are you threatening me?

“It’s not like that. I’m a summoner. If I’m attacked, my summoned creatures get attacked too. Didn’t you just see that?”

– Kheuh, to think a mere novice transcendent dares to not back down…!

Baek Jin-woo tried to maintain his composure to the end.

His expression was calm, and he even wore a small smile.

“I have no intention of fighting you. Lower your guard and ask your child directly. Whether I really corrupted it.”

– …

Krrrrrr.

Just as Melseryong’s roar was gradually subsiding.

Kurrung!

Suddenly, the space of the universe trembled slightly.

– Oh no.

Melseryong was flustered.

Baek Jin-woo tilted his head.

“What’s the situation?”

– Those who target me are approaching. If they can find this place…

Melseryong’s red eyes gleamed sharply.

– The Baeksayeon Clan.

At that moment, formless shadows moved in the darkness.

Space tore open and massive silhouettes appeared.

‘Those are.’

Deep and sharp black pupils.

Cold and eerie beings like reptiles.

[You encounter Jeokran.]

[You encounter Baekryeon.]

Jeokran?

Baekryeon?

Ah.

When transcendents face each other, this kind of thing appears.

He suddenly became curious.

When they look at him, do they also see “encountering Baek Jin-woo”?

– Ha, this is bad.

Melseryong made a troubled expression, and soon two giant snakes flicked their tongues.

– Oh my, this is quite an interesting sight?

– A dragon that left the Black Dragon Association’s territory… And there’s even a young one? Lucky day today?

– We’ll get some good nourishment from dragons. Kekekek.

Gulp.

Baek Jin-woo swallowed his saliva.

He could feel tremendous malice in the space itself.

‘One thing is certain.’

They’re not only targeting Melseryong, but also our Myeongmang.

And before long.

[You encounter Cheonggak.]

One more appeared.

‘This is a bit.’

The situation has become quite serious, hasn’t it?

– Hey.

Melseryong looked at Baek Jin-woo with piercing red eyes.

“Yeah?”

– Run away right now. Protect my child. If you do just that, I’ll forgive your rudeness so far.

“You’re going to face them alone?”

– This isn’t a situation for a novice who just started crawling to get involved. Quickly break that orb containing planetary power.

Startled.

Baek Jin-woo was surprised.

‘Did she know?’

Well, she wouldn’t just be an ordinary transcendent.

Actually, normally he would have broken the orb without looking back.

Those three snakes.

They looked quite powerful.

‘But.’

– Grrrrrr…!

Myeongmang was showing hostility.

She knew her mother was in danger.

“You’re Myeongmang’s mother, so I can’t run away.”

– Don’t talk so arrogantly. With your current level, you’ll only be a hindrance.

“Then let me ask just one thing.”

– Speak.

“Can you handle those three by yourself?”

– …

No answer.

That meant it would be difficult.

Baek Jin-woo knew it too.

What those snakes had said when they appeared.

‘Did they say something about nourishing themselves with dragon?’

Seeing how the levels were clearly divided even among transcendents, it seemed difficult to turn the tide of victory.

That’s why she told him to run away.

If she could handle them alone, would she have bothered telling him to flee?

Swoosh.

Baek Jin-woo raised his hand.

Then his summons began to appear one by one.

The ones who became summonable again after he became a transcendent.

However, to face those snakes

– What are you doing right now! They are all initial 9-star, those who have gone through the stage of deep understanding. Even hundreds like you couldn’t handle them, so run away!

“Oh, I’ll run away well on my own, so don’t worry.”

– But?

“I have to try fighting first.”

– That can’t even be called a fight.

Perhaps their conversation was interesting.

The snakes sneered and interrupted.

– Hoho, there’s even a cute little initial one? A newly registered one?

– The newly registered ones are delicious too. Today is really our lucky day!

Jeokran laughed with a leisurely voice.

– Well, he’s too small for that though. Not even a bite-sized morsel.

Jeokran, Baekryeon, and Cheonggak.

Along with the mockery of the three giant snakes, the space of the universe began to shake.

Tremendous pressure gradually seeped in.

Fine cold sweat formed on Baek Jin-woo’s forehead.

A weight that felt like space would collapse just from their existence alone.

– Grrrrrr!

Melseryong also reacted roughly.

Her red eyes blazed with light, and tremendous heat spread out.

In an instant, energy like a supernova explosion spread, and Jeokran and Baekryeon flinched and pulled their bodies back.

– Hohoho, indeed, I heard Melseryong has stepped into Gyemun, quite impressive?

– But it can’t be helped. Alone, no matter how much you struggle, you can’t beat us. Numbers always win in the end.

The snakes laughed as they tightened their encirclement.

Invisible unprecedented forces began to clash.

Like shrimp getting hurt in a whale fight.

‘Crazy.’

Baek Jin-woo couldn’t even breathe at all.

“Still, that’s amazing. To hold out like this against those three.”

– Of course.

Melseryong answered his muttering without a moment’s hesitation.

– I am a transcendent who has reached the level of Gyemun. An realm that initial weaklings like them can’t dare to fathom. Come at me. Today I’ll feast generously on snake soup!

Kwaaaaaaaaa!

The real battle began.

What Baek Jin-woo could do was minimal.

He only managed to scratch them slightly using Aso with a few meteors.

– Kahahaha!

– Is that all? Dragon? You’re too weak compared to the pride you have!

The battle’s flow went favorably for the snakes.

Giant fangs sliced through the air.

Melseryong barely dodged and twisted her body, but Cheonggak, not missing a moment’s gap, flew in quickly.

Crack!

Melseryong’s skin was pierced by the fangs.

– Kraaaaaaak!

Seeing her mother being hurt, Myeongmang roared sorrowfully.

Sadness.

Despair.

And helplessness.

‘Damn it.’

Baek Jin-woo gritted his teeth.

How long had it been since he felt this emotion?

He who had always been at the top on Earth, now that he came outside the universe, felt truly worse than an insect.

Initial 9-star? Deep understanding? Gyemun?

What the hell are all those things!

‘Do I really have to run away?’

Grind.

He gritted his teeth.

At this rate, there was no way.

He needed some kind of variable.

That’s when it happened.

– Master

Hunkyo approached.

– My instructor skill is telling me.

“Huh?”

– Pokryong has awakened. And in a state where he’s grown one more stage.

“Really?”

– You must call him right now, Master.

As soon as Hunkyo finished speaking, Baek Jin-woo reflexively reached out his hand.

“Pokryong.”

Swoosh!

A transcendent’s summoning ability transcends space.

Pokryong, who had been on distant Earth, teleported across an enormous distance in one go.

– Jin-woo!

“Did you obtain the Black Flame Fire?”

– Yes, that’s right!

Pokryong was startled by the scene that greeted him as soon as he appeared.

A giant dragon and snake were engaged in a life-or-death battle in outer space – it would have been strange not to be surprised.

– Wh-what’s going on here?

“That’s supposedly Myeongmang’s mother.”

– …Really?

Pokryong’s jaw dropped.

Myeongmang.

His origins really are insane!

To think he was the offspring of such a monstrous being!

“Anyway, Pokryong.”

– Yes.

“Can you use that power you obtained?”

– I can, but it’ll put some strain on you too, Jin-woo. Even if I use it, I can only use about 1% like last time.

“That’s fine.”

Hunkyo had said this before.

Sacred Flame Fire and Black Flame Fire were truly god-like beings of this universe.

They clearly seemed to be above transcendents, so even 1% of their power should help!

– Hoo.

Just as Pokryong was taking a deep breath.

– You still haven’t fled! I can’t hold on much longer! Escape now! If you don’t save my child, I’ll crush you to death right here and now!

“Got it, but first.”

And then.

Whoooosh!

Flames blazed from Pokryong’s staff.

Dragon Explosion Technique.

Secret Art.

Annihilation.

The small dragon’s breath began burning the snake’s skin.

– Kahahahahaha! How warm!

– What are you doing? Are you giving us a hot compress right now? How cute, so cute!

Just as the snakes were mocking him.

Pokryong began mixing 1% Sacred Flame Fire and 1% Black Flame Fire into those flames.

The two opposing primordial fires of the universe were appropriately mixed into the fire.

Whoooosh!

It was not a simple flame.

An absolute fire that could twist even the laws of this world.

– Huh?

– What?

– …What!

Jeokran, Baekryeon, and Cheonggak instinctively trembled.

Something incomprehensible was contained within that flame.

Though its presence was faint, it was not a flame that a mere beginner could produce.

Whoosh!

The scales it touched instantly melted away.

– W-wait a minute?

Jeokran’s eyes widened greatly.

At the same time, he felt it.

Pain.

It wasn’t just a simple burn.

The sensation of his very existence burning away.

– Kyaaaaaaah!

The snakes began screaming, and even Melseryong showed a confused expression.

But now wasn’t the time to be curious.

– I don’t know what’s happening, but.

Kwaaaaaaaaa!

As the snakes writhed in pain, the pressure lessened, creating an opportunity to move more easily.

– A clear chance for victory has come.

The prelude to a reversal.

Skwaaaaaaaaaah!

Melseryong’s breath pierced straight through Jeokran’s head in one strike.
