I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 301

Savior of the Storm (4)

The soul liberation work was truly fraudulent.

It was as if Myeongye existed for Doldoli’s sake.

Now the angle was becoming clear.

‘If I work hard for about a day, I should be able to liberate roughly a thousand souls.’

Of course, that’s by current standards.

Once I accumulate a bit more know-how and Mayeo’s work speed increases, the number of souls liberated will grow even more.

‘One Simhaekkgu per ten souls.’

What does that mean?

It means Doldoli can obtain energy equivalent to 100 Simhaekkgu per day.

That was nearly a Lion General’s monthly salary.

‘Seven hundred in a week, 2,800 in a month, 33,600 in a year…’

Incredible.

What’s amazing is that even cutting down that many souls doesn’t make even a dent in the grand flow of the Samdo River.

For now, I’ll only grow Doldoli with this method.

Hunkyo, Aso, and Mayeo will continue absorbing the Simhaekkgu I possess.

The rest of my summoned creatures…

Sorry, but wait just a little longer.

Once I establish myself somewhat and reach at least the Transcendent level, I’ll raise all of you evenly.

Aso continued training in the Law of Immortal Path.

Whoosh!

He swung his wooden sword, mastering the Mugeok Cheongeom Technique and pursuing new enlightenment.

Mayeo continued melting Simhaekkgu while following Doldoli around.

And Hunkyo?

He properly fulfilled his role as an inspector overseeing the sites of Jiok and the Samdo River.

At the same time, he properly followed Baek Jin-woo’s command to seek out special or rare laws.

The Samdo River.

Among the beautiful waves of souls created by the footsteps of countless deceased.

– Hmm.

Hunkyo slowly looked around his surroundings.

His law was absorption, but perhaps due to his past abilities, he could instantly recognize souls with high potential.

However.

It was too vast.

So rather than mediocre souls, he was searching for talent that he absolutely had to recruit.

When he encountered Myeongbyeong soldiers while passing by.

– We greet the Reincarnation Inspector!

– No abnormalities during duty!

They immediately greeted him respectfully.

– Yes, you’re working hard.

Hunkyo coolly accepted their greetings.

It was certainly more comfortable than when he was under Jin Gwang.

At that moment.

‘Oh?’

He saw a being that shone exceptionally among the souls.

It was an intense aura like a star shining alone in the night sky.

‘That soul is no ordinary one?’

The Myeongbyeong soldiers passing by seemed unaware of that being’s specialness.

Hunkyo waited briefly, then quietly approached that soul as soon as the soldiers passed.

A quiet yet infinitely upright atmosphere.

An unwavering strong will surrounded the soul like an iron fortress gate.

– You there. Come over here for a moment.

“…Are you speaking to me?”

– Yes.

Hunkyo could clearly see this person’s law.

Indomitable.

It was a life that never bent in any desperate situation and ultimately seized victory.

‘If I raise this person to transcendence and recruit them into our forces later, they’ll surely become an excellent battle commander.’

His master had specifically instructed him.

To definitely mark such souls.

However, if they chose reincarnation over becoming a transcendent after hearing all explanations, he was told to quietly liberate them.

“What is the matter?”

– When you entered the Samdo River, what did you say your name was?

“I said it was Yehae.”

– Yehae? Good. Let me explain the situation. You have obtained a golden opportunity to enter under my master’s command.

“…What do you mean by entering under command?”

– It means you can be reborn as a being that transcends souls, like the Myeongbyeong here or the reapers, without falling into Jiok.

“…!”

Yehae’s eyes shook greatly.

His expression seemed surprised by the unexpected proposal.

– Of course, that path will never be easy. Now it depends on your choice. Will you seize the opportunity, or will you choose reincarnation and return to your original planet to be reborn?

Hunkyo naturally thought he would choose the former.

However.

Yehae didn’t hesitate for even a second.

“Then I will return.”

– What?

Hunkyo frowned.

He had to send back such talent?

Really?

– What is your reason?

“I made a promise to my soldiers. Even if my body dies and becomes a soul, I will return and drive out the foreign invaders and definitely protect the country. I cannot break that promise.”

Hunkyo read firm will and uncompromising anger in those eyes.

– Returning doesn’t mean you’ll have your past body. You’ll lose your memories and be reincarnated in a different body after much time passes. Are you still fine with that?

“It doesn’t matter. Even if I lose my memories, the promise carved into my soul will never be erased.”

– …

There was no choice in this case.

It was his master’s command.

– Understood. Do as you wish.

Hunkyo contacted Mayeo and Doldoli through telepathic magic.

He told Mayeo to erase the records regarding Yehae, and instructed Doldoli to perform soul liberation.

This was exactly Hunkyo’s role.

Perhaps quite a few souls would gather after doing this for several years?

Swoosh!

Doldoli found Yehae and liberated his soul with the scythe.

– Kiiiii!

Perhaps due to the soul’s greatness, he received more energy than usual and let out a pleased shriek.

Sigh.

Hunkyo crossed his arms and secretly watched that scene with regret.

It was a fraudulent law rarely seen these days.

After patrolling a section of the Samdo River like that, Hunkyo reported everything that happened to Baek Jin-woo.

And.

“What, Yehae? Why that guy?”

He opened his eyes wide in surprise.

– Why do you react so, Master. Do you know this person?

“…I know him.”

How could he not know?

Yehae was Admiral Yi’s given name.

The sacred hero who saved Joseon from the brink of destruction in the past, a flawless general among generals!

The Sea God Yi Sun-sin!

‘What kind of connection is this.’

To think he would meet the soul of his ancestor in this vast Samdo River.

“He said he wants to return to Earth?”

– That is correct.

“Then he should do so.”

Admiral Yi Sun-sin.

Don’t do dirty transcendent things like this, and in your next life, do everything you want and live enjoying yourself.

Thus, three years passed.

During that period, Doldoli’s soul liberation skills truly reached enlightenment, achieving the remarkable feat of liberating over 2,000 souls per day.

Also, as the Death God law strengthened, the energy gathered while liberating souls increased even more.

As a result.

[You ascend to the realm of Sacred Plate 1-star Minor Binding.]

Ah.

Doldoli finally rose to the Sacred Plate grade.

It was truly tremendous growth speed.

Hunkyo and Aso were Established 7-star, Strong Rule.

Mayeo was Established 6-star, Right Rule.

Also, Pokryong rose to the Established grade and said he could draw up nearly 5% of Sacred Flame Fire and Black Flame Fire.

All the accumulated Simhaekkgu had been depleted.

[Possessed Simhaekkgu: 0]

Because the summoned creatures had absorbed them all.

‘If I could, I’d like to purify even Yeonok Heukryeon with Soul Purification Technique.’

The bad thing about coming to the Reincarnation Inspection Office!

The connection with Myo Shin-gung was completely cut off.

Unlike Jin Gwang who was quite open in that regard, Yun-hoe Sa completely prohibited entry by outside forces.

It became a situation where he couldn’t meet Myo Un-hu even if he wanted to.

“Sigh.”

It’s definitely good results.

Rising to Sacred Plate grade means special treatment in Myeongye as well.

A very high position where one could become a Myeonggwan!

Because it’s the executive level of conventional forces.

However.

‘It’s frustrating.’

During those three years, the more he learned, the more he felt it would be harder to destroy Myeongye.

‘When will I destroy it, when will I return to Earth…’

At this rate, won’t I grow old and disappear?

“Doldol.”

– Kiii!

“A little more, now that you’re Sacred Plate grade, let’s sprint a little more. Let’s run all the way to Breakthrough grade.”

– Kii, Kiiii!

The creature swung its scythe as if understanding.

Is it the influence of the Transcendent Lord law?

He thought it would at least be able to speak when reaching this realm, but it still goes “Kii!”

At that time.

Earth had also seen many years pass since sending Baek Jin-woo away.

Yubaek City.

Sizzle! Frizzle!

Baek Jin-chul, Baek Jin-woo’s father, was still diligently frying chicken.

Though he now enjoyed considerable wealth, chicken was his daily routine.

‘Has it already been over 5 years…’

Quite a lot of time had passed since he started his business with his son’s help.

So much that Park Jung-hun, his close friend and co-founder, had aged considerably.

Clack, clack clack!

As business hours ended and he was closing up the shop.

“Honey?”

Mrs. Hwang Myeong-hee entered with a bright smile, opening the door.

Baek Jin-chul smiled warmly.

“You’re here? Why didn’t you wait at home.”

“I was grocery shopping and thought of you, so I stopped by. It’s nice to go in together. Are you all done?”

“Yeah, I was just finishing up.”

At the same time.

Click!

Park Jung-hun came out of the kitchen carrying his bag.

“Sister-in-law, you’re here? I’ll head home first then!”

“Oh, yes. Jung-hun. Get home safely.”

Bow.

Hwang Myeong-hee greeted him, and Baek Jin-chul raised his hand.

“Right, see you tomorrow.”

Watching Park Jung-hun leave, Hwang Myeong-hee lowered her voice.

“Honey.”

“Yeah?”

“Is Jung-hun having a hard time lately? He looks about 5 years older than us somehow?”

Baek Jin-chul quietly smiled and said.

“Maybe it’s not that Jung-hun aged a lot, but that we’re not aging.”

“…!”

Hwang Myeong-hee paused at that moment.

“Huh? Is that so? Now that you mention it, that’s true? I meet friends sometimes too, and strangely I feel like only I’m not aging. I don’t get sick at all either. I stopped using snail cream long ago…”

Hwang Myeong-hee looked at the mirror with a suspicious expression.

“What is it…? What could be the reason?”

It was a bit strange.

For the past few years, she hadn’t caught even a cold, and whether she drank or overate, she didn’t gain weight.

Her skin was supple, and far from losing hair, she had more hair than before.

“That’s true.”

The couple looked at each other and tilted their heads simultaneously.

They had no way of knowing that Eila, now Earth’s god, had slowed the aging of all beings connected to Baek Jin-woo.

“Eila.”

Click, click.

Yu Ji-a, wearing heels, approached Eila who was at the training ground.

– Yes, Yu Ji-a.

“How’s the situation?”

Three years ago.

After Baek Jin-woo left, Yubaek collaborated with Eila to proceed with the transcendent creation project.

Naturally, all existing SKY members and expedition members participated, and they selected and attempted with talents carefully chosen with cooperation from each country.

They train within the inner world that Eila opened.

All types of training one desires are possible according to imagination.

There are masters and practice partners.

Of course, Yu Ji-a was also learning a lot through Eila about management techniques, operational skills, lordship studies, and imperial studies.

– There are no significant results yet.

“That’s inevitable.”

Huh.

Yu Ji-a let out a sigh.

Even Aso, who was called a genius, couldn’t transcend, so no matter how abundant the support…

– However, one person seems to have quite a bit of possibility.

“Oh, really? Who is it?”

Yu Ji-a’s eyes lit up.

– Song Yeon-hee.

“…!”

Right.

Excluding Aso and Baek Jin-woo, there was another genius next in line, wasn’t there?

Click, creeeak!

Did she know they were talking about her?

The device Eila had set up opened and a woman slowly walked out.

Song Yeon-hee.

At her fingertips, five eerily precise dolls were connected by strings.

Thanks to the virtual master Eila had provided, she was in the process of transforming into a puppeteer of an incredible level.
