I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 304

Bisaeng (2)

Time passed.

It had already been two weeks since we started searching for the coordinates that Mayeo had tracked.

We even reduced our usual activities to focus on this effort, but the result was continuous failure!

– Huaaa, Aso!

Ramba cried out as if fed up.

– Don’t you need to raise your Thousand-Li Meteor technique to a higher level?

This was the method we used most often.

When Mayeo tracked the coordinates?

Aso would run toward that location at full speed.

Simple, but we thought it had the greatest possibility.

– Hmm.

Aso pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

– Even if I master this to Daeseong level, it won’t work.

– Hueeee, really? If Aso can’t do it, then there’s no answer, right?

Through our repeated attempts, we had gathered some data.

It was a tracking log where we recorded the failure times, distances, movement cycles, and other details one by one.

First, when we approached within about 3,000 km of those coordinates, the coordinates would jump.

And those coordinates were always generated inside the Underworld.

We hadn’t figured out the pattern yet.

– That’s right-meow. It seems like this method isn’t the answer-nyan.

“So it’s not simply a matter of speed?”

Baek Jin-woo crossed his arms and carefully examined the tracking log again.

Though only failure records had piled up, there was surely a pattern hidden within them.

‘There’s no problem in the world that can’t be solved.’

It was the same in Battle of Summoners.

Even things that others said were absolutely impossible always had solutions when he looked at them.

‘For now.’

Bisaeng was moving as if it were a living creature.

“Maybe it’s not like a dungeon hiding treasure.”

– Then?

Ramba asked.

“The planet itself might be one giant living organism, or it could be a fortress controlled by an intelligent being.”

– Hueeee, something like that is hiding in the Underworld? Why?

“…That’s true, isn’t it?”

Baek Jin-woo mumbled his lips and said.

“Then how about we try going slowly this time instead of running?”

– Huh? Slowly, you mean-meow?

“Transcendents emit massive energy when they move. Especially in Aso’s case with Thousand-Li Meteor. If that Bisaeng reacts by detecting distortion levels in the surrounding space… Let’s try approaching stealthily.”

– Good-nyan! Let’s try anything-nyan!

If we set up a hypothesis, we need to test it.

That’s how we can know if it’s correct, and even if we fail, we get data.

“Aso.”

– Yeah.

“This time it’s stealth movement. It’ll take a while, but try moving while hiding your presence as much as possible.”

– Got it, Father.

Aso nodded without complaint.

It might be a bit frustrating, but there was anticipation that this could be a new breakthrough.

– Wait a moment-nyan!

Mayeo hurriedly called out to Aso who was about to depart.

– Why?

– Take this with you-meow.

Mayeo pulled out a small crystal orb from her bosom.

– It’s a tracking marker made by this witch-meow. You need to attach this so I can know your exact location-nyan.

– Got it.

– And this too!

This time she held out a red talisman engraved with complex patterns.

– This is a spatial movement talisman-nyan! If you enter Bisaeng, tear it-nyan. Then master will move to your location-meow!

– Got it.

Aso carefully received the talisman.

“…”

Baek Jin-woo was amazed by Mayeo’s display.

‘Is this the power of the Universal Law?’

To think she could just casually create talismans that transcendents here pay expensive prices for.

Imagining Mayeo reaching Transcendent grade already made him feel good.

– Then I’ll be back, Father.

Aso departed and we watched Bisaeng’s position.

Energy emission was naturally from outside 3,000 km.

After that, it was a method of gliding as if entrusting the body to inertia.

Aso decided not to use any power including movement techniques.

‘I wonder what will happen.’

We kept our eyes on the hologram with heightened nerves.

Time passed slowly.

Since he wasn’t using his power properly, the universe was too vast.

After some time passed like that.

– Master, it’s soon-nyan.

Mayeo pointed at the hologram.

The distance between Aso and Bisaeng was finally approaching the fateful 3,000 km point.

– 3,200 km! No reaction-nyan!

– 3,100 km! Still the same-meow!

My heart beat quietly.

Tension filled the air.

And the moment Aso’s figure passed through that point!

– Master!

Mayeo shouted.

– Passed 3,000 km! Bisaeng didn’t move-nyan!

– Niiice!

Ramba let out a cheer then hurriedly covered her mouth.

Pure kid.

If Bisaeng was going to run away from shouting here, it should have run away from the start.

“Huh.”

Baek Jin-woo let out a sigh of relief.

“So this was it after all.”

The probability of Mayeo’s hypothesis being correct had increased.

“But we still don’t know. It’s not successful until he gets inside, so let’s keep watching.”

There was still the possibility that another security system might activate.

Time passed.

Aso, who had broken through Bisaeng’s boundary, had approached within 1,000 km.

Even so, Bisaeng remained firmly in place.

– 900km approach. No anomalies!

– 800km… Really? Is this really going to work?!

The closer we got, the more excited we became.

We also recalled Doldoli, who had been harvesting souls nearby, and Hunkyo, who had been helping him.

– 500km approach! Still no reaction! At this rate, isn’t this almost a success?

Gulp.

Baek Jin-woo swallowed his dry saliva.

Could this be the moment when weeks of digging would finally bear fruit?

– 100km! Almost right in front of us!

Right.

At this point, it was completely done.

Swoosh.

Soon the dot representing Aso and the dot representing Bisaeng touched.

At that moment.

Flash!

Bisaeng disappeared.

At the same time.

Swoosh!

A mysterious light began to envelop Baek Jin-woo.

– Aso tore the talisman!

Okay.

Baek Jin-woo positioned himself with appropriate tension, and soon whoosh! his vision flipped.

It was finally the moment of entering Bisaeng.

Bisaeng was a single planet.

The gravitational sensation was similar to Earth’s.

Sky and ground existed as well.

‘This place…’

Baek Jin-woo, summoned in mid-air and finding his position, slowly surveyed the surrounding landscape.

Purple and black clouds swirling in the sky.

Between those clouds, the stars of Myeongye shone faintly from an immeasurably distant place.

The ground?

It was entirely covered with metal and unknown synthetic materials.

No matter how he looked at it, this wasn’t a space where life could exist.

‘Why would something like this exist in the middle of Myeongye?’

– Hehehe, so we just need to search here and find treasure, right?

“First.”

Baek Jin-woo calmed Mayeo down.

“This won’t be an ordinary place. It’s wandering around the middle of Myeongye without even the Great Kings knowing about it.”

– That makes it even better! If it’s an opportunity hidden in a place like this, it might be beyond imagination! Kyahyangyang!

“…”

At Mayeo’s words, the gamer’s blood began to boil again.

Right.

There might be dangerous elements, but wouldn’t there also be tremendous rewards?

“First, figure out where we should go, Mayeo.”

– Got it!

Just as Mayeo was about to cast a spell.

– Grooooooooooar!

From somewhere, a roar that seemed to shake the earth erupted.

Whoosh!

Aso immediately drew his wooden sword, and the other summoned creatures also drew their respective weapons.

– Kiiiii!

Especially Doldoli, who had now reached the Star Plate Realm, had tremendous momentum.

– What is it! What’s that bull roaring sound!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Heavy footstep sounds gradually approached.

And in the distance.

An enormously large being was charging while holding an axe.

‘What is that thing?’

Baek Jin-woo knew just by looking.

‘It’s Jeongnip Realm.’

Was this the leisure of the Star Plate Realm?

Just by directly observing, he could vaguely see the opponent’s realm, if not precisely.

‘Still, it seems like the highest level among Jeongnip Realm…’

Why would such a being be on this Bisaeng?

Could it be a guardian protecting treasure?

For now.

Since the opponent’s momentum was fierce, he had to respond accordingly.

“Doldol.”

– Kii!

Doldoli’s body, which had nodded, disappeared.

At the same time.

Swaaaaaaash!

A long wound appeared on the giant bull’s body.

Puhwak!

Blood burst out.

– Wh-what?

Thud!

The bull stopped abruptly.

It must have realized the gap between itself and its opponent with that one blow.

The momentum that had been charging as if to destroy the world just moments ago was nowhere to be found.

Along with bewildered eyes, pain and fear were slowly spreading.

Swoosh.

Doldoli lightly brought his scythe to the bull’s neck.

Both he and Doldoli knew.

With one gesture, that giant bull’s life would disappear.

‘Let’s spare it for now.’

If the opponent was a transcendent being, communication would be possible, and he could learn about this Bisaeng’s existence or the location of treasures.

Whooom!

When Baek Jin-woo flew over, the bull knelt down.

Thud!

Just that alone felt like the entire planet was shaking.

– Sp-spare me. I didn’t know you were a Star Plate Realm transcendent and committed a discourtesy!

“Hmm.”

Baek Jin-woo, with arms crossed, looked down at the creature.

It was being more obedient than expected?

That must be the gap between transcendent beings.

Jeongnip and Star Plate were one level apart, but it was a gap too great to resist.

“Your life is in my hands. If you want to live, you must answer my questions without lies.”

– If I speak without lies, will you really spare me?

The bull’s eyes lit up.

There was a clear will to survive in those eyes.

“That’s right. If you don’t lie, I promise that.”

– Then ask me anything! I’ll answer everything I know with complete sincerity!

“Mayeo.”

– Meow!

“Determine whether what he says is true or false.”

– It’s true, meow. I can feel an intense will to live, meong.

“Good.”

Baek Jin-woo nodded.

At least there seemed to be room for negotiation.

“First, before asking about this Bisaeng, who are you?”

– Are you asking for my name?

“Of course not. I’m asking about everything including that—your affiliation, your purpose for being here, everything. Answer smartly, cleanly, and with some sense.”

– Ah, I understand. I am called Asterion. I’m a transcendent being affiliated with the Changong Council, and I received orders to secretly infiltrate Myeongye and gather information.

Huh?

Wait a minute…

What did he say?

Baek Jin-woo made an expression of bewilderment.

‘If it’s the Changong Council.’

One of the three major powers of this Local Galaxy Group.

Clearly a group strong enough to compete with Myeongye.

But he’s saying this so boldly?

Normally in this kind of situation, one would try to hide their identity and purpose somehow.

If caught, annihilation would be lucky, and it’s obvious they’d suffer all kinds of torture.

Should I understand this as a cultural difference?

‘Ah, or maybe.’

Since getting caught by a Star Plate Realm transcendent being would easily expose the truth anyway, he might have given up.

“Mayeo, is it real?”

– Surprisingly, it’s real, meong.

“Huh.”

Baek Jin-woo sighed and glared at the bull.

Good heavens.

How should I deal with this ridiculous guy?
