I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 273

Legacy of the Transcendent (1)

Jeokran’s law is resurrection.

In contrast, the Destruction Dragon’s law is annihilation.

It is the end of all existence, a power that burns and destroys everything without leaving a trace.

Kuguuuuuu!

Jeokran, whose head had disappeared, could no longer move.

The Destruction Dragon’s law was stronger as well.

– …That flame.

The Destruction Dragon’s red eyes blazed.

– We’ll talk about that part again later.

For now, we had to deal with the remaining two snakes.

Tsssssss…!

Baekryeon’s law is corrosion and erosion.

A power that slowly seeps into everything it touches and causes decay!

Green poisonous mist began flowing from its mouth.

It wasn’t simply poison, but something that corrupted existence itself and devoured the laws of transcendents.

However.

Whoooosh!

The smoke could no longer spread further.

Baekryeon was flustered.

– Cheonggak! What are you doing! Block it quickly!

– …It’s meaningless! That flame is…. definitely strange! Though the amount is small, it’s a power that our laws don’t work on at all! My ‘absolute defense’ won’t work against it.

Kurrrr!

Cheonggak turned its body.

– Are you seriously going to flee and leave me behind?

– There’s no reason to continue this fight! We must quickly return to the White Snake Sect!

– You idiot!

Baekryeon could no longer escape.

Crack!

The Destruction Dragon’s teeth bit into Baekryeon’s neck.

– Kiaaaaaaak!

Baekryeon’s sharp scream pierced through the vacuum of space.

Blue poisonous mist spread out as if struggling, but it was already too late.

Whoooosh!

Pokryong’s flames began burning Baekryeon’s body directly.

The snake’s body withered and dried up, its scales scattering like powder.

– Im, impossible! How could a mere beginner!

Those snakes seemed unaware of what the Original Fire was.

Of course, Baek Jin-woo didn’t know either.

How high a level this was.

What rank it held among transcendents.

Anyway, what was certain was…. it was tremendous enough that just 1% of its power was sufficient.

“Destruction Dragon.”

Baek Jin-woo said.

“You’re not planning to let that Cheonggak guy escape, are you?”

– Of course not.

“He’s the one who tried to touch Myeongmang. Never let him flee.”

– I really like that attitude.

The Destruction Dragon’s eyes now clearly held goodwill.

There was also curiosity and wonder mixed in.

– Jin-woo!

Huff, huff!

It was then that Pokryong hastily withdrew its flames.

– This is my limit. If I push any further…. not only will my existence be erased, but Jin-woo won’t be safe either!

“Yeah, good work.”

The tide of battle had already turned.

From what I could see, the Destruction Dragon seemed to be a transcendent at a much higher level than them….

Now only Cheonggak remained alone.

Crack, crunch!

Before long, the Destruction Dragon’s teeth bit into Cheonggak’s neck.

– Damn…!

– Don’t think about running away. You cunning snakes who wanted to become dragons.

The Destruction Dragon’s red eyes flashed coldly.

At the same time.

Crack!

Cheonggak’s neck snapped.

That was the end!

All three transcendent snakes were finished.

– Arrogant fools.

The Destruction Dragon slowly opened its mouth.

Then it began devouring their cores.

It wasn’t simply the act of eating.

It felt like absorbing the power of transcendents.

– It would be too much to digest all at once. I’ll have to slowly dissolve them. But anyway.

Kugrrrr…!

The Destruction Dragon’s neck turned back toward Baek Jin-woo.

– I should say thank you first.

“Didn’t you say earlier that your kind doesn’t do such things?”

– It’s the same principle as not thanking insects. Since I learned you’re not an insect, I simply changed my attitude. I acknowledge it. If it weren’t for you, I would have almost fallen to those scoundrels from the White Snake Sect.

“Good that you acknowledge it quickly.”

– Also, thank you. You truly raised my child well, didn’t you?

“You know about that?”

– I briefly read its memories. Thinking of my child suffering among those garbage-like insects makes me want to destroy everything, but you weren’t like that.

Ah.

Was he talking about that incident when it was bound and subjected to chimera experiments in the Cadia Empire?

When it somehow ended up on the continent that Earth had replicated….

– As a parent, I also express my gratitude. For now, it seems fine for you to continue caring for my child. Later it will need to inherit my power, but it’s not ready yet. Besides, even if I told it to follow me, it probably wouldn’t come.

– Krrrr.

The Destruction Dragon nodded.

But even so, it clearly recognized the Destruction Dragon.

– Also, since I’ve received a favor, I can’t help but repay it.

The Destruction Dragon slowly raised its head to look at the darkness of space.

It seemed to be in the direction of Earth.

Its red pupils emitted light as if lost in deep thought.

– Your home planet is now facing judgment from the Arbitrator. No matter how miraculous that flame is, at your current level, you can’t even dream of it.

“Then what should I do?”

– To face the Arbitrator, you must reach the fifth stage of Gyemun, which is Migyeong.

“Migyeong?”

– Hmm, it’ll be difficult since it’s your first time. Choip literally means the first step of a transcendent. Only after stepping through that Choip stage more than ten times can Gyemun finally open. You need to climb to the fifth stage of that Gyemun.

“What level are you at?”

– I am at the realm of Gyemun 2-star Seongi. The foundation of laws has opened, and I’m in the stage of gradually accepting that foundation.

“That’s complicated.”

– For now, it would be best to move together with me. I’ll help you.

Baek Jin-woo nodded without hesitation.

Melseryong was definitely a transcendent stronger than himself.

If he could learn the path, he might be able to grow much faster than now.

“Good.”

– First, this place is dangerous. This universe is vast, so it wouldn’t be strange if some transcendent suddenly appeared and killed us. Let’s go to the Black Dragon Association, which is our group’s territory.

“I only have about a year left.”

– Don’t worry. When the time comes, I can easily send you back.

On the way.

Baek Jin-woo had many questions.

“Do you happen to know the Wuji Immortal?”

– The Wuji Immortal? Of course I know him.

“Oh, you do?”

– Of course. He’s known as the most powerful among the transcendents who have reached Seongban. The fact that I know about him shows what an incredible being he is. There are more transcendents in this universe than grains of sand on a beach, so just being known by name means wielding tremendous power. He’s currently one of the highest leaders running the Immortal Association. He’s very famous in this region.

“The Immortal Association…”

– It’s nothing special. Just an interest group formed by transcendents banding together. The Black Dragon Association, White Snake Sect, Immortal Association… they’re all similar things.

It was just like the wilderness of nature.

Since this was a place fundamentally based on survival of the fittest, the weak were thoroughly ignored.

That’s why they formed groups.

It was the same principle as how even a single lion wouldn’t rashly attack a pack of hyenas.

Groups united to survive!

“You keep mentioning Gyemun and Seongban… I don’t understand any of it.”

– Since we have plenty of time to travel anyway, I’ll explain slowly.

Melseryong became friendly quickly after receiving help once.

It was completely different from his initially unpleasant attitude.

He seemed to have a surprisingly pure side.

– First is Choip, like a newborn who just became a transcendent. They’ve just realized what their law is, but don’t know how to use it at all.

…Law.

Baek Jin-woo’s law was Transcendent Lord.

He had only grasped a sense of what it was, but didn’t know how to use it at all – was that the same principle?

– Transcendents who are recognized and registered as Choip begin to accept this universe as time passes. This is the process of 2-star Mideung.

Mideung.

It meant climbing very slightly.

– They feel this vast universe and begin to become humble. We call this crawling, which is the process of 3-star Seogi.

Seogi.

It meant slowly rising.

4-star was Dancho.

This was the stage where one truly began to use their law.

In Baek Jin-woo’s case?

Wouldn’t he need at least one summoned creature to become a transcendent to step into Dancho?

– The more stages you climb, the stronger the energy becomes to maintain that law. Strong laws suppress weak laws. Even though Cheonggak had the law of absolute defense, it was suppressed by my destruction.

Melseryong continued his explanation.

Baek Jin-woo carefully absorbed his words and began organizing the concept of realms in his mind.

5-star was Choseong.

As the name suggested, it was the stage where the law first took shape.

The stage where transcendent body and energy were just beginning to form fundamentally.

Transcendents who reached this stage began to truly imprint their law onto their body.

In Baek Jin-woo’s case, all his summoned creatures would need to become transcendents.

6-star was Giun.

It was the stage where one could somewhat intentionally operate their still unstable law.

7-star was Chomi.

While up to now it was a process of refining and operating one’s own law, from here interaction with other transcendents became possible.

And then?

One could intuitively understand conflicts with other laws.

That was exactly 8-star Misik.

One could realize the essence of other laws and harmonize with or defend against them.

The ability to respond was born.

– Once you reach Misik, you can look at an opponent before fighting and decide whether to fight or not. In human terms, you’ve become a child who can finally think and judge. You’ve learned language.

“…”

Hearing it that way, it was breathtaking, wasn’t it?

– Next is 9-star Simdeuk. All transcendents easily reach this point. It’s the stage where the most transcendents are distributed.

It meant deeply realizing the essence of laws!

One could apply their law as they pleased to those weaker than themselves.

– In that sense, your law is fraudulent.

“Why?”

– Just reaching Simdeuk, couldn’t you mass-produce transcendents?

“…Mass-produce transcendents?”

– Truly befitting Choip. You can’t even recognize how amazing your ability is.

“Aren’t you fraudulent too? You can destroy all beings weaker than you.”

– Rather than that… you’ll learn later how important it is to form factions in this universe. Anyway, the final stage of Choip is Giju.

“Giju…”

– The pillar of law. That law has become your complete self.

When he became a perfect Transcendent Lord, he would achieve great completion!

– From then on, the stage of Gyemun opens.

“Ah.”

The stage where Melseryong was.

– The stages after that, it’s not too late to learn once you reach Gyemun. I’ll tell you later how great the Seongban stage that the Wuji Immortal reached is.

Baek Jin-woo suddenly felt that Earth was truly a well.

He was a frog in a well.

This place was truly a stellar realm.

Kwaaaaaa!

It was while they were continuing to fly like that.

– Sniff sniff!

Mayeo, who had been lying comfortably on the Destruction Dragon’s back, flared her nostrils.

– Wait, Master!

“Huh?”

– I think there’s an incredibly sweet smell coming from somewhere, meow!

Huh?

…A smell?
