I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 050

Omnipotent Rune (3)

What?

Pokryong Arts Flame ?

Now what, is this some omnipotent flame theory?

As long as it’s flame , anything works?

The Tower of Trials was like that too, and now even curing diseases…

– My lord. It’s not just about healing. Perhaps we might obtain an even better opportunity.

“What? A good opportunity?”

– I don’t know why, but countless information about S-grade summoned creatures regarding this disease is coming to mind.

“Really?”

– Yes, from Hwata to Cheonma, Dalma… and even Jang Sam-bong. It came to mind when I was teaching Aso before, but now it’s surfacing more deeply and clearly.

“…Oh.”

Cheonma, Dalma, Jang Sam-bong.

All are figures who hold the position of founding patriarchs of famous martial arts sects.

Though I’ve never directly summoned them, I naturally learned about them while raising Aso in the past.

‘Aso is… a heaven-sent martial genius.’

A genius among geniuses who can master all of their martial arts.

– First of all, this disease called Nine Yin Severed Meridians is an extremely rare condition that might appear once in a thousand years. Inside that small girl’s body contains yin energy powerful enough to freeze an entire nation.

“Keueu… Heueuuk.”

The pale cold energy flowing from the girl’s lips makes the space frigid.

Is that what you call a human air conditioner?

Ahem.

Let me stop these strange thoughts.

“So how exactly will Pokryong obtain an opportunity with flame ?”

– Ahem.

Hunkyo cleared his throat once and began explaining.

First.

We need to accumulate Pokryong Arts for five hours to the maximum, creating yang energy equal to that yin energy.

After that, we need to combine and neutralize the two energies…

But here’s where one problem occurs.

When the two energies combine, tremendous energy is generated!

If we can’t control that, a disaster greater than a nuclear explosion could engulf this city.

– To prevent that, we actually need incredible divine arts that can handle both yin and yang energy simultaneously. Things like Cheonma’s Cheonma Divine Arts , Great Master Dalma’s Supreme Great Ability , or True Master Jang Sam-bong’s Pure Yang Infinite Arts .

However.

Hunkyo is not Aso.

He can’t even learn them, and even if he did, it would be meaningless unless he reached the ultimate level.

Therefore, Hunkyo searched for another method.

At that moment, he recalled one demonic art.

‘Life Offering Demonic Arts .’

It was a peculiar mental cultivation method that allowed smooth control of any energy in exchange for offering one’s life.

A forbidden demonic art preserved by the Cheonma Sect that Cheonma once ruled.

Even the learning difficulty was easy.

“Wait, don’t tell me.”

Baek Jin-woo, who had been listening, snapped his fingers.

Hunkyo smiled and nodded.

– That’s right, my lord. I’m a summoned creature. Even if I die, I’ll just be reverse-summoned. It’s a demonic art perfect for me.

“Then… you’re saying you’ll absorb that energy?”

– Would that be acceptable?

How novel.

It’s also a realm I’ve never attempted in Battle of Summoners.

“What’s the success rate?”

– I’m not sure about the success rate, but I can definitely cure that girl.

Ho, is that so.

“Okay.”

Let’s proceed with it!

“Are you really serious?”

After finishing the diagnosis, Jasim tightly grasped Baek Jin-woo’s hand as he came out.

His trembling hands showed just how excited he was.

“Can you really cure my daughter? Really…?!”

“Yes. It won’t be an easy process, and it will take quite some time… but it’s not impossible.”

“Hueoeo!”

He couldn’t believe it.

How much time and money had he spent until now.

He had brought in renowned doctors from around the world and famous rankers too.

But each time, they all shook their heads and withdrew.

Even with mana-filled healing.

Even with divine power-filled blessings.

No method could remove that cruel curse.

But.

The disease name is Nine Yin Severed Meridians?

Cold energy powerful enough to freeze an entire city was blocking his daughter’s meridians everywhere?

Jasim instinctively felt it.

That the words of the player before him were true.

“Please, please cure my daughter! I’ll provide more than enough compensation!”

“No, the five omnipotent runes we agreed on previously are sufficient compensation for me.”

Baek Jin-woo said decisively.

The heart of a father who loves his daughter was touching.

More importantly, if Hunkyo’s words were true, what he’d gain from this treatment would be beyond imagination.

‘This might be an opportunity to go with an Aso-Hunkyo dual carry setup.’

Though Hunkyo is EX-grade now, he was originally just E-grade.

Meaning his stats are extremely low.

So no matter how good the runes I equip him with, it’s hard to see their effects to the fullest.

But if he absorbs that massive energy and brings about some change?

Then things could be different.

“First, please provide a room to stay in for a while. It would be even better if there’s a vacant lot that can be used as a training ground.”

“Of course! I’ll prepare it right away!”

Jasim, who had finally grasped a thread of hope, moved swiftly.

“Pokryong.”

– Yes, Jin-woo.

“I hate to burden you, but your role is really important.”

– It’s a bit tight, but I’m doing my best!

Whoooosh!

Fire blazed around her body as she sat in place, circulating mana.

Regarding flame , there’s nothing for Hunkyo to teach.

Just reminiscing about past memories and turning them into skills!

Going to a nearby regular dungeon would be good too, but we decided to just train in the vacant lot.

Hunkyo wasn’t idle either.

Even if Life Offering Demonic Arts has low learning difficulty, demonic arts are still demonic arts!

Sitting cross-legged, he struggled to sense and feel the energy.

‘Hunkyo’s teaching ability is excellent, but my learning ability isn’t particularly outstanding.’

I’ll probably have to work several times harder than other summoned creatures.

Baek Jin-woo decided to stay in Dubai until the matter was resolved.

The national team assembly was postponed, and the weekly dungeon runs were done at Dubai’s Player Zone with Jasim’s cooperation.

Yu Ji-a stayed with him for about two days before returning.

After all, she was the representative of “Yubaek,” so she couldn’t leave the company unattended.

When about two weeks had passed like this.

– Jin-woo siiiir!

Pokryong rushed over to Baek Jin-woo, who had just returned from running dungeons, and hugged him tightly!

“Huh?”

– I learned it! Flame !

“Really?”

But Pokryong.

Was she always this lively?

She wasn’t the type to hug so freely before.

“First, calm down.”

– Ah, sorry. Jin-woo sir!

“It’s fine, so let me check your information first?”

He gently pushed Pokryong away and examined her information.

[Summoned Creature: Explosive Dragon Mage]

[Race: Human]

[Grade: EX-grade (Isolation Judgment)]

– Isolated due to balance-breaking elements discovered in specific situations.

[Level: 45]

[Stats]

Strength: 20, Intelligence: 88, Stamina: 20, Agility: 20

HP: 22,000, MP: 500

Critical Hit Rate: 55%

Critical Hit Damage: 185%

[Skills]

– Pokryong Faction: Shoots dragon-shaped flames forward.

– Pokryong Technique ‘Link’ : Allows accumulation of Pokryong Faction.

– Pokryong Technique ‘Transform’ : Allows transformation of Pokryong Faction.

– Pokryong Technique ‘Flame’ : Allows detonation of Pokryong Faction all at once.

“Wow, it’s real!”

She had learned all three Pokryong Technique secrets except for Destruction .

This meant she had now become the Pokryong from the past “Battle of Summoners” era.

‘Though she hasn’t unlocked potential ability devouring yet.’

“Hunkyo.”

– Yes, my lord.

Hunkyo already seemed to know, nodding with a determined expression as he walked over.

– I’m ready as well. We can start right away.

Finally!

After two weeks, would we break through the Nine-Sound Blocked Meridians?

Let’s go, let’s go!

“A-are you finally starting?”

Jasim was beside himself with excitement.

He was trembling.

“Yes, could you give us some space again?”

“Of course!”

“It might take a while, and there might be loud noises. Perhaps… some of the room’s furnishings might get damaged.”

Even though Hunkyo had learned the Life-Offering Demonic Art, it was his first time using it.

All of this was Hunkyo’s theory.

No one knew how it would turn out.

“If I can just save my daughter, I don’t care if the entire house collapses.”

“Good, that’s the right mindset.”

“Then… I’m counting on you.”

Jasim left, and the stage was set.

“Hunkyo. Pokryong.”

– Yes, my lord.

– Yes, Jin-woo sir!

“Let’s begin.”

– First, please remove my rune and equip it on Pokryong.

“Okay.”

This was to maximize Pokryong’s yang energy.

A rare top-grade universal rune would be much stronger than mid-to-high grade miscellaneous runes.

Baek Jin-woo quickly switched the runes.

He also re-summoned Pokryong to secure five hours.

– Now… just accumulate Pokryong Faction as much as possible.

– I’ll try.

Whoooosh!

Pokryong energy began surging from Pokryong’s staff.

Thanks to the universal rune, Pokryong Faction’s cooldown was reduced and MP recovery became tremendous.

While Pokryong was gathering Pokryong Faction.

Swoosh.

Hunkyo grasped the girl’s wrist again.

It was to check her pulse and locate the blocked meridians once more.

‘The passage is narrow.’

The narrower it was, the more dangerous.

Both removing yin energy and inserting yang energy.

But it was fine.

Hunkyo planned to bear all those dangerous processes himself.

According to the setting, if this were the original martial arts world, even a divine martial physician would find it impossible.

However.

What if he utilized the characteristic of summoned creatures who get reverse-summoned instead of truly dying?

‘It’s worth trying.’

Of course, he couldn’t die immediately.

He had to endure and endure before dying.

Because dying in a general area would require another five hours to revive.

Time passed.

The room that had been filled with cold energy was now filled with scorching heat.

Inside Pokryong’s body, layered dragons writhed.

– I’m getting short of breath. How much more do I need to gather?

Pokryong seemed to be reaching her limit as she panted.

The yang energy was so powerful that if her concentration broke even for a moment, the gathered dragons would scatter and fly away.

– Not yet. You haven’t even gathered half. You need to do this for two more hours.

– Hiiik!

– Can you endure it?

– I’ll try for now!

Pokryong gritted her teeth as well.

Baek Jin-woo also watched that scene while stamping his feet anxiously.

There was only one thing he could do.

Cheer on his summoned creatures!

– My lord, I’ve finished analyzing the passage.

“Really?”

– Now, the moment yang energy equal to that yin energy gathers, I will become a passage.

A passage?

“A passage connecting Pokryong and that girl?”

– That’s correct. When that happens, tremendous internal energy will explode within my body. I will try to absorb it as my own energy through the Resonance Magic Art. Since the energy will be merging within my body… there shouldn’t be any danger to the girl. The only important thing will be me.

“Will you be okay?”

What a mysterious magic art indeed.

To risk one’s life to control energy.

‘I can’t understand the intention behind creating it.’

– I will do my best, my lord.

Another 2 hours passed.

– I, I can’t endure it much longer.

Pokryong cried out while dripping with cold sweat.

– That’s enough. You can stop accumulating now.

– Huff, quickly… I want to release it quickly!

– My lord.

“Yes.”

– Could you possibly resummon me?

“Okay, just a moment.”

Hunkyo hadn’t died.

As long as he didn’t die, he could be summoned again without cooldown even after being dismissed.

It seemed he wanted to reset the reverse summoning time.

Swoosh!

Hunkyo, who appeared once again, firmly grasped the girl’s arm with his right hand.

“Kkeueuk.”

A pained groan flowed from the girl’s mouth.

– Pokryong! Put your staff here!

– Ah, understood!

With his left hand, he gripped the end of Pokryong’s staff.

– Preparations are complete. Now convert all the power you’ve gathered into transformation and pour it toward me!

– Here I go!

Simultaneously with Pokryong’s urgent cry.

Whoooosh!

Pokryong Arts.

Secret technique.

Flame.

All the accumulated Pokryong energy began pouring toward Hunkyo’s blood vessels.

Gush gush gush gush!

– Keu, keuaaaaaaak!

Along with tremendous pain as his left arm burned, Hunkyo activated the Resonance Magic Art.

Simultaneously.

Craaaack!

Tremendous yin energy from the girl’s side also began flowing through his right arm.
