I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 297

Myeongye (7)

“King Jingwang. Surely there isn’t a regulation in Myeongye’s rules that forbids gambling with Simhaekkgu, is there?”

At Baek Jin-woo’s bold question, Jin Gwang burst into hearty laughter.

– There isn’t. By the way, are you confident? Those are Myeonggoon’s elite forces. They’re Underworld Generals who could be called worth a hundred men even among the Jeongnip Realm.

“Actually, I don’t know since I haven’t fought them, but if they’re confident, they’ll bet a lot of Simhaekkgu accordingly.”

– If they bet a lot, do you have enough Simhaekkgu to match it?

“I collected plenty while staying at Myo Shin-gung, so it’s sufficient.”

– Oh, really?

This time Jin Gwang looked at the Underworld Generals.

– How about it. Are you fine with this?

Jin Gwang gave permission.

Then a fair judge of Gyeol Realm or higher would be created.

There would be no chance of having Simhaekkgu stolen.

Moreover.

Once Jin Gwang stepped forward, they couldn’t refuse this match even for the sake of face.

Not betting Simhaekkgu would be admitting they were afraid of their opponent and lacked confidence.

– Ahem.

One of the Underworld Generals cleared his throat and looked back.

– What shall we do?

– Since he’s offering to donate Simhaekkgu, there’s no particular reason to stop him.

– Then how should we bet? Can we bet as much as we want each time we enter a duel?

Baek Jin-woo smiled coldly.

For transcendent beings, Simhaekkgu was equivalent to life itself.

They would never willingly give it up and desperately protected what they had.

After all, the more they absorbed it, the higher their survival probability in this universe became.

‘I have nothing to feel sorry about toward you guys.’

Since the Yeon-ok Heukryeon incident, Myeongye was already Baek Jin-woo’s enemy.

He intended to fleece them of everything he could.

“Just bet everything at once. If I lose to even one of you ten, I’ll divide all the Simhaekkgu I bet among you.”

So he raised the stakes even higher.

– Hmm?

– With those conditions, wouldn’t we have an absolute advantage? I’ll bet everything.

– Me too.

– I wonder if you can even handle all my Simhaekkgu.

Thunk, thud, thunk!

Each began taking out chunks of Simhaekkgu from somewhere.

Perhaps because they were Jeongnip Realm transcendent beings?

It was quite a large amount.

– After counting, it’s 46,200 pieces. Do you have enough Simhaekkgu to match this amount?

It was truly an enormous quantity.

The monthly output from that vast Myeongye’s core was 100,000 pieces after all.

“Hunkyo.”

Swoosh.

At his gesture, Hunkyo appeared from the void.

“How many Simhaekkgu do we have left?”

– We still have over 100,000 pieces.

Hunkyo whispered quietly.

“Match it and put it out.”

– I shall obey your command.

Hunkyo quickly calculated and laid out the corresponding amount of Simhaekkgu.

Now it was their turn to be surprised.

– Huh.

– An individual possesses that many Simhaekkgu?

Jin Gwang’s eyes also gleamed.

Usually, one had to be at least Star Plate Realm to produce that amount of Simhaekkgu.

Swish, swoosh!

He lightly swept his hand over them.

– Both are genuine. Then since both parties have agreed, I’ll collect these Simhaekkgu, deduct a fee of 2,400 pieces, and return 90,000 pieces to the winning side.

– …!

“…!”

Truly a Gyeol Realm transcendent being.

He used this opportunity to collect a fee.

– Do you agree?

Since both factions thought they would win anyway, there were no major complaints.

“Good.”

– Good.

Baek Jin-woo and the ten generals bowed their heads in response, and Jin Gwang nodded.

– Then after a brief preparation time, we’ll start immediately. It’s been a while since we’ve had such entertaining spectacle.

There was nothing bad about this for Jin Gwang.

He also wanted to directly confirm the combat power of Baek Jin-woo, who might become his Myeonggwan in the future.

Law, Seon-do (Way of Immortals).

This was a law that most immortals of the Immortal Association possessed.

Since it was a law that gained power through cultivation and enlightenment from it, it required much more talent compared to other laws that depended on Simhaekkgu.

Swoosh.

Aso picked up a wooden sword.

‘I can see everything.’

Just from a brief glance, he could see their fighting patterns.

As if he had become a prophet, he knew how they would take their first step and how they would swing their weapons.

The explanation for why would be complex.

Martial arts was originally like that, and only those who had studied it their entire lives could awaken the law of Seon-do after attaining enlightenment and ascending to immortality…

Among such people, Aso was counted among the most talented.

– Father.

“Yeah.”

– Even if all ten attack at once, it seems like it would be easy. They’ve just accumulated power mindlessly, but they don’t even know how to gather that power into one through meridians.

“It does seem that way.”

Because he possessed the Transcendent Lord law, he could feel it.

What kind of psychological state his summoned creature had.

In Aso’s case, it was infinite confidence.

That’s why Baek Jin-woo could also be bold.

A summoner believes in their summoned creature – who else would they trust!

“Go and show your abilities spectacularly.”

Whether human or transcendent being, they’re basically the same.

If you look capable, you’re viewed favorably and treated well.

Just look at those guys right now.

Isn’t there contempt clearly visible in their eyes?

‘While I do want to fleece them.’

Basically, it was also to confirm Aso’s strength and receive even more favor from Jin Gwang.

Step.

Aso walked forward.

– Anyone can come at me. You can all come at once if you want.

– Hehe.

One of the Underworld Generals walked out from the other side.

He too was holding a sword.

The most popular weapon among humanoid transcendent beings!

– Your confidence is admirable. But you should know that confidence must be backed by skill. You seem to be acting cocky relying on that Seon law, but unfortunately, I’ve learned martial arts from the martial way of the Immortal Association.

– ….

Aso didn’t say much.

Not only did she not like fighting with words, but this was also her first real fight after properly absorbing Simhaekkgu here.

She wanted to approach it seriously.

– Hmm?

The eyes of the Underworld General who stepped forward narrowed.

That young brat’s gaze and aura had completely changed in an instant.

Swoosh.

Despite taking a light stance, there wasn’t a single opening.

Her fighting style was invisible.

The Underworld General couldn’t believe it.

‘That kid is more perfect than the immortals of the Immortal Association?’

That couldn’t be.

Even if it were true, it would only be her posture.

– Don’t get cocky!

Thwack!

The Underworld General lunged forward with a fierce battle cry.

Aso’s eyes instantly grew calm.

Cheongcheon Movement Technique.

Secret technique.

Punghwa Muheun.

The 6-star Punghwa Muheun was like the wind itself.

The Underworld General’s swift sword clearly pierced through Aso, but she was no longer there.

– What?

When he felt no impact despite stabbing, the Underworld General’s eyes widened.

And at that moment.

Crack!

It wasn’t any martial technique.

A simple downward strike slammed into the back of the Underworld General’s neck.

‘Guhk!’

That was the end.

Whether it was martial arts or some power used by transcendent beings, the principle of power accumulating and bursting through certain channels was the same.

Then?

Just properly block those channels and it’s over.

You could twist the power, paralyze the entire body, or in the worst case, even annihilate it.

The Underworld General, whose body had stiffened, slowly fell forward unconscious.

Thud!

It ended with just one strike.

Crack.

Aso tilted her head.

It was a gesture showing she was slightly dissatisfied with that move.

– Next.

At her words, the Underworld Generals felt something was going wrong.

At first, it must have been petty pride.

– How cowardly to subdue someone in one strike by taking advantage of their carelessness!

The second Underworld General stepped forward.

Aso gestured, and he cautiously approached and swung his sword.

One.

It was blocked.

And blocked far too easily.

There were no openings to a bewildering degree.

Was this how it felt to face a Seongban-level transcendent being?

– Guh, guhk!

The second Underworld General fell, and the third Underworld General fell.

There were no special martial techniques involved.

Aso simply moved like the wind and struck predictive shots with her sword to where she anticipated her opponent’s movements.

– Th-this is impossible.

One of the Underworld Generals confronted Jin Gwang.

– This is fraud! How can someone with that level of skill be a Jeongnip Realm transcendent being! She must definitely be a higher-level transcendent being than us!

– Are you saying I’m deceiving you?

When Jin Gwang glared, the Underworld Generals backed down.

– It is curious indeed. To show such a vast difference in skill despite being the same Jeongnip Realm transcendent being.

“Didn’t I tell you? Our Aso is different.”

Baek Jin-woo smiled inwardly.

The 43,800 Simhaekkgu he would receive after fees would become food for his other summoned creatures.

For now, he had urgently raised only Aso, Hunkyo, and Mayeo…

Thinking about when the other guys would grow and be active made his chest swell with pride.

– Oh no.

– What should we do?

– The Underworld General who just lost has similar skills to mine. We’re friends who could fight hundreds of rounds without a clear winner. If I go out alone now, I’ll definitely suffer the same fate.

– Then?

One of the Underworld Generals gritted his teeth.

His pride had crumbled, but now wasn’t the time to worry about such things.

46,200 Simhaekkgu was equivalent to almost 40 years’ salary for an Underworld General.

He couldn’t let it all be taken away before his eyes.

– There’s no choice now. We have to attack together. Didn’t that extraordinary little kid say it herself? That we could all come at once.

– Good. Just because we’re fighting together doesn’t mean we should underestimate our opponent. We must approach the battle carefully without letting our guard down!

Clang! Clatter!

Seven Underworld Generals drew various weapons.

Jin Gwang looked at Baek Jin-woo.

– Will this really be okay?

No, sir.

What am I supposed to do if you ask me that?

You should ask our Aso.

“Aso, are you okay?”

Nod.

She nodded and picked up her wooden sword again.

– Yeah, easy.

“She says it’s easy.”

– More than that, Father.

“Yeah?”

– Can I really go all out?

“You haven’t been going all out until now?”

– Yeah, since I haven’t even used the Mugeok Cheongeom Technique.

Ah.

Okay.

“Try using it once.”

The battle continued.

– Everyone charge with the resolve to die together!

– When I create an opening, enter in order from the top!

The Underworld Generals rushed forward with murderous intent.

Swoosh.

Aso, with eyes closed, slowly raised his sword.

Though it appeared slow to the eye, Aso’s sword was somehow already raised high in the sky!

Rumble…!

As Aso pressed the ground with his toes, tremendous pressure crushed the space.

– Ho, this technique.

Jin Gwang showed an interested expression.

– Isn’t this the Doseon technique of the Immortal Association, belonging to Wuji Immortal!

Though only at the Sacred Plate level, he was a transcendent being famous for combat, widely known even in Myeongye.

Aso slashed at the charging Underworld Generals one by one, as if playing with toys.

One Flash Heaven and Earth was originally a single strike, but upon reaching 6-star, it could be used as consecutive strikes.

Slash slash slash slash slash!

The charging Underworld Generals were terrified by the massive energy approaching them and had no choice but to defend themselves.

And.

Crash!

That was the end.

Those who had charged from all directions were sent flying in all directions.

Everyone’s eyes were filled with shock and terror.

An overwhelming difference in skill!

– Huh.

Jin Gwang also widened his eyes.

He knew his subordinate was elite, but one of that subordinate’s summoned creatures had this much power?

– I think I understand why those Myo Clan members wanted to take you.

The match was decided.

There was nothing more to see.

Thud thud thud!

The Underworld Generals who had fallen to the ground were writhing, but not a single one got up.

All combat disabled!

– I acknowledge it.

Jin Gwang nodded with a satisfied expression.

– Along with that Simhaekkgu, I’ll give you entry to hell. Go ahead and rampage to your heart’s content in this Myeongye.

His eyes were filled with even deeper trust than before.
