I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 053
War Against Crime (2)
Hanam City, Private Cafe.
Rumble rumble rumble…!
Baek A-jin and her friends were startled by the sudden trembling.
“Wh-what?”
“Is it an earthquake?”
Splash!
The coffee on the table spilled over.
Since the shaking was quite severe, several friends shouted.
“Everyone, let’s get under the desks first!”
“Kyaaah!”
You shouldn’t run around when it’s shaking.
First, you protect your body under solid objects, then evacuate outside when the shaking briefly stops.
Just as they were about to move quickly under the guidance of friends who knew earthquake safety procedures.
“L-look there!”
One friend pointed outside the window.
“…A golem?”
A huge golem was filling up the entire window.
“Crazy.”
“Why is there a golem?”
“Wasn’t it an earthquake?”
In South Korea, you need permission to summon creatures above a certain size in general areas.
Especially summoning golem-types like that in the city could cause massive damage to citizens’ property, making it even more restricted.
But for such a golem to appear at a cafe in Hanam City meant.
‘…Terrorism?’
The moment Baek A-jin frowned.
Crash!
Three figures roughly opened the cafe door and entered.
All of them were armed with summoned creatures.
‘Those people are…’
Baek A-jin immediately recognized them.
Her friends did too.
“Oh Ji-myeong!”
“Park Ho-seop is there too!”
They couldn’t not know them.
They were famous players ranked 9th and 10th domestically, and just a few days ago they got beaten like dogs by her brother.
“Why are they here…”
“The atmosphere feels kind of strange too?”
As her friends gulped nervously.
Step.
Oh Ji-myeong walked one step forward.
“Who here is Baek A-jin?”
Of course, he wasn’t asking because he didn’t know.
He had already obtained all her appearance information from the gang.
“It’s you.”
Oh Ji-myeong, who had been leisurely looking around once, pointed at Baek A-jin with his finger.
– Grrrrr.
A Shadow Wolf growled from within the shadows.
“What business do you have with me?”
“I won’t make this long.”
When Oh Ji-myeong gestured.
Crash!
The cafe’s glass window shattered, and through it came the hand of his signature summoned creature, the Rampaging Stone Golem (B-rank).
“All of you. Disarm yourselves and get on top of this. Then I promise to treat you like gentlemen.”
Unless you were an idiot, you couldn’t miss it.
‘Kidnapping.’
Baek A-jin was dumbfounded.
“Wh-why are you doing this to us?”
Could it be.
Because they got beaten by her brother in the multi-player tournament, they’re getting revenge in such a childish way?
“A-jin…”
“What’s happening?”
“I’m scared.”
Her frightened friends gathered behind Baek A-jin’s back.
Not one of them climbed onto the golem’s hand.
As this strange standoff continued.
“Rankers. You probably don’t know since you haven’t been with the gang long, but you can’t treat kids like these nicely.”
It was then that the most thuggish-looking player among the three stepped forward.
His eyes gleamed with sticky murderous intent.
“I’m giving you exactly 10 seconds.”
At the same time, he spread his fingers.
“Any bitches who don’t get on the golem within 10 seconds will all be killed. And.”
Swoosh!
An unidentified summoned creature appeared near the Shadow Elf who had been drawing her bowstring behind Baek A-jin.
And.
Thunk!
A dagger was thrust into the Shadow Elf’s neck.
A single strike!
With that one blow, Baek A-jin’s summoned creature crumbled.
“Where do you get off being armed so arrogantly? You want to die.”
“Cr-crazy.”
Baek A-jin and her friends were horrified.
‘Gang!’
‘Oh Ji-myeong and Park Ho-seop went over to a gang?’
‘Crazy, fucking trash!’
Citizens always live trembling in fear of gang threats.
They had vaguely thought many times that someday they too might face a gang…
But to encounter that gang right before their eyes today!
“Everyone.”
Baek A-jin’s voice trembled.
“Don’t move at all. Absolutely not. Trust me.”
Had he predicted a day like this would come?
Her brother had given her a skill as a gift.
‘Desperate Call.’
Baek A-jin urgently activated that skill she had registered with Shadow Wolf.
At the same time, she prayed desperately.
‘Brother.’
Please come quickly!
The delicious meal he had been enjoying thanks to Jasim’s hospitality was suddenly interrupted.
[‘Shadow Wolf’ (B-rank) is desperately calling Player Baek Jin-woo.]
[Will you respond?]
[Y/N]
“…!”
Baek Jin-woo’s eyes widened.
Shadow Wolf belonged to his sister A-jin.
He had told her.
To activate it only in a truly critical moment.
“Jasim.”
Baek Jin-woo spoke to Jasim who was eating across from him.
“Something urgent has come up, so I need to leave first. I’ll contact you later.”
There was no time to wait for a response.
He pressed Yes immediately.
“What did you say?”
Yu Ji-a shot up from her seat.
A call had come from the security company they had hired.
– What appears to be gang members have infiltrated the headquarters! The Player response team is engaging, but there are already casualties! Th-there are too many Players!
“Damn it.”
Why would a gang target us?
The situation was urgent.
Even though they had hired a fairly expensive and reliable security company, the fact that there were already casualties meant the gang was moving with considerable desperation!
“Kyaaaah!”
“Eeeek!”
Screams could be heard from outside the building.
At the same time, she understood.
Why would they go to such lengths to attack us?
There was only one answer.
‘Jin-woo.’
To threaten or coerce him.
They were trying to kidnap what could be considered his weaknesses.
‘Those bastards.’
Yu Ji-a bit her lip and blamed herself.
She had been too complacent.
She should have made an agreement with a major guild.
At least when Baek Jin-woo wasn’t around, she should have stationed excellent rankers at headquarters.
She had called Player Headquarters with the emergency alarm and requested support from Daeseong, but there was no time.
‘Should I call Jin-woo?’
She considered activating the desperate call.
No, she actually tried to call him.
But then.
– Gang members have also gone after Director Baek A-jin! It’s at a nearby cafe, and it looks like Oh Ji-myeong and Park Ho-seop, who were recruited by the gang, are with them too! Oh Ji-myeong’s golem is there!
She hesitated because of those words from the security company.
She was afraid that calling from both sides might only add to Baek Jin-woo’s confusion.
Still, at least here there was a security company, but there was no one on Baek A-jin’s side!
‘Damn, what should I do?’
Just as Yu Ji-a was stamping her feet anxiously.
– Huh? Reinforcements have arrived!
Huh?
Reinforcements?
Already?
It didn’t make sense.
Only about 30 seconds had passed since she pressed the emergency call.
– My goodness! It’s the leaders of Carpe Diem and Arilang Guild! They say they were briefly stopping by near Yubaek when they noticed something was wrong and joined the fight! With this, we can handle it!
Gi Jae-hyeok, Kang Ji-ho, Hong Ari, Oh Sun-young.
All four had arrived.
The strongest players in the country that even gangs couldn’t ignore.
‘Why were they in this area?’
This was still a development area with nothing but mountains…
She had questions, but for now it was fortunate.
“5, 4, 3…”
The terrorist who was counting twisted his mouth.
“Look at these guys. They’re not moving, are they? 2.”
Even though he had given them 10 seconds, not one of them was moving.
In that case, there was no choice.
Blood would have to be spilled.
Baek A-jin had great value as a hostage so he couldn’t kill her, but if he killed a few of those friends, control would become easier.
“1.”
In the end, was there no choice?
Swish!
The assassin summoner who had reverse-summoned the Shadow Elf raised his dagger again.
Right.
He should have just started by cutting off one of the girls’ heads from the beginning.
“0.”
Whoosh!
Just as the blade was about to move.
Slash!
Something that emerged from thin air swept across the assassin summoner’s body.
And at tremendous speed too.
– Kieek?
The assassin tilted his head in confusion, and a line was drawn across his body.
And then.
Splurt!
He was split in half and reverse-summoned simultaneously.
“Wh-what!”
Through the startled terrorist’s cry, the figure that revealed itself was the most famous summoned creature in current South Korea.
The Training Instructor.
And.
“A-jin.”
Behind him appeared Baek Jin-woo with narrowed eyes, assessing the situation.
“O-oppa!”
“Baek Jin-woo?”
“It’s Player Baek Jin-woo!”
Color returned to the pale faces of her friends.
Understanding the situation wasn’t difficult.
Armed gangsters and Oh Ji-myeong, Park Ho-seop in front of trembling girls.
What else could that mean?
“…These bastards.”
Baek Jin-woo was furious.
This was the first time in his life he had felt such pure rage.
‘How dare they touch my family?’
“Oppa! Those guys tried to kidnap us! They even brought golems and said they’d kill us if we didn’t follow them within 10 seconds!”
“That’s right! We saw it!”
“Sob, it was scary!”
Kuguuuuu…!
Did the summoned creatures sense Baek Jin-woo’s emotions?
An enormous aura erupted from Hunkyo’s body.
The powerful killing intent, strong enough to heavily press down on the shoulders of every being in the space, seemed to ask Baek Jin-woo.
Master.
How should I handle this?
“First, subdue them all.”
Baek Jin-woo’s voice quietly echoed through the cafe.
Fwaaah!
Hunkyo’s sword moved.
“Cr, crazy.”
Oh Ji-myeong was stunned.
Not only was Baek Jin-woo’s sudden appearance surprising, but Hunkyo’s power was on a completely different level than before.
‘How is that possible.’
10 seconds.
Exactly 10 seconds.
That’s how long it took for all the summoned creatures of Oh Ji-myeong, Park Ho-seop, and the gang members to be reverse-summoned.
A total of 45 creatures.
Swish!
The sight of Hunkyo gracefully sheathing his sword after cutting down everything was beautiful to the point of being eerie.
‘How is that thing an E-rank summoned creature!’
Step.
Hunkyo didn’t stop at just cutting down the summoned creatures.
With an indifferent expression, he walked toward them.
“W, wait a minute.”
“Let’s talk this out, talk!”
Into Oh Ji-myeong’s abdomen as he panicked and stretched out both hands.
Thwack!
He drove in a front kick, and Hunkyo’s kick, being no ordinary person, delivered a shock of a completely different magnitude.
“Guh, guhhhhhhh…!”
Oh Ji-myeong collapsed forward, unable to breathe at all.
Naturally, Park Ho-seop was terrified seeing that sight.
Ranker or whatever.
Without summoned creatures, they’re all just the same humans.
“P, please spare me!”
He immediately knelt down and prostrated himself, but Hunkyo delivered a soccer kick anyway.
Thwaaack!
He flew and crashed into the cafe wall with a bang! and even the sound of bones cracking could be heard.
Though he controlled his strength to avoid killing, that one blow could leave him disabled for life.
The remaining gangster met the same fate.
After taking several punches.
Thud, thwack!
He lightly struck pressure points to subdue him.
Situation over.
Hunkyo looked at Baek Jin-woo.
Just as Baek Jin-woo was about to nod.
Bzzzzt!
His phone rang.
It was a message.
[Yu Ji-a: Jin-woo, you’re in Korea, right? Yubaek is in chaos right now! A-jin is in danger too, you know about the situation, right?]
The sharp-minded Baek Jin-woo immediately grasped the situation.
‘If it’s Yubaek.’
These bastards.
They were definitely targeting not only A-jin, but our parents as well.
“Hunkyo.”
Hunkyo silently nodded.
“Keep a good watch over these three here. And A-jin.”
“Yeah?”
“Are those your friends over there?”
“Yeah!”
“Tell them to go home quickly since it’s dangerous, and stay right next to Hunkyo here.”
Perhaps sensing the urgency in Baek Jin-woo’s expression, Baek A-jin hurriedly nodded.
“O, okay.”
At the same time.
Fwaaah!
Baek Jin-woo flew out through the broken window riding the Sky Wyvern.
