I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 058
Tower of Tribulation 20th Floor
20th Floor Boss.
Dracula (S-rank) is a True Ancestor.
Not a being who became a vampire by having their blood sucked by another vampire, but an existence whose very birth was as a vampire.
Therefore, he was much stronger and nobler than ordinary spawn.
– How dare.
Swoosh.
Dracula, rising from his seat, knew.
The fact that some insolent being was trying to kill him.
– Who dares to challenge my authority!
That’s why he had sent the Ambush Squad, and even sent his secretary ‘Renfil’ (A-rank).
However.
They were approaching at such a fast speed that sending them seemed pointless.
Kugugugugugu…!
Tremendous killing intent flowed from Dracula’s body.
‘It’s been a while.’
About a thousand years?
It had been truly long since he had personally risen his body.
It wasn’t that there had been no challengers during that time.
It’s just that most of those who challenged were dealt with by the Ambush Squad or Renfil.
– Kukukuku.
Vicious fangs were revealed within Dracula’s lips.
– This will be interesting. Very much so.
Coming this far meant they had defeated Renfil, but it didn’t matter.
Even hundreds of beings like Renfil couldn’t match him, Dracula.
– I shall bite you. I’ll bite and drain your blood to quench my thirst, then make you into a second Renfil. Coming this far means you have such qualifications…!
Just as he was about to unleash his energy with an evil smile.
– Bullshit.
Something charged at tremendous speed right before his eyes.
Kwaaaaang!
What caught on Dracula’s claws, raised at high speed, was Hunkyo’s sword.
– Hooh, indeed.
Dracula was impressed.
The weight he felt indicated this was no ordinary being.
– For a human, you’re quite strong…!
Kwaaaaang!
When Dracula tried to raise his other claw, Hunkyo’s sword was already striking his neck hard.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Not just the neck.
Without even a chance to properly react, the sword was already sweeping across various parts of Dracula’s body.
How could he possibly handle Hunkyo, who had gained the Omnipotent Rune and even fortune, plus received buffs from the light-speed Ramba!
– You damn…!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
– W-wait a moment.
Dracula, sensing something was wrong, opened his mouth.
Pugagagagak!
Doldoli’s scythe stabbed into it and spun around.
No, damn it!
Let me speak a bit, you bastards!
With 99% physical resistance, the damage wasn’t properly landing.
However, they were too fast for him to react properly.
It was like the movement of flies buzzing around was too mysterious, no matter how much you clapped your hands, you couldn’t catch them.
Kwaaang!
Even when he swung his claws, the sword struck elsewhere.
Kwaaang!
Every time he tried to speak, they struck his teeth and tongue with the scythe.
Dracula was going mad with frustration.
No, this is insane!
Even if you’re fast, there should be limits!
Kwagagagagagagagagang!
Even while being hit, it felt like the attack speed was gradually increasing.
‘These insolent bastards!’
Finally, Dracula decided to get serious.
He would use Blood Space, a technique that drew upon all his power to dominate the entire space!
– Kiaaaaaaaaaaa!
[‘Dracula’ (S-rank) reveals tremendous presence.]
[‘Dracula’ (S-rank) uses Blood Space.]
Kugwagagagagagaga!
The blood and life force he had absorbed in his lifetime transformed into energy and pressed down on the space.
– Gasp…!
– Kruk…?!
Hunkyo and Doldoli, who had been attacking vigorously.
– Kyaaaaah!
Ramba, who had been swinging her staff.
All had to lower their weapons and kneel under that tremendous pressure.
Gooooo…!
Dracula’s figure, looking down at them with a crazed expression, was indeed chillingly terrifying.
“Huh.”
Baek Jin-woo, watching from a distance, exhaled.
Right.
In fact, that was exactly Ramba’s counter.
No matter how much you stack up, there’s no way to avoid such spatial pressure techniques when they’re strong.
What good is fast attack speed?
When you can’t even move.
That’s why long-range was needed, specifically Pokryong’s flames.
‘Blood Space’s weakness is its narrow range.’
Information about that skill was already lined up in Baek Jin-woo’s mind.
From how many seconds it binds to its range.
That’s why he had left Pokryong outside the door separately.
“Pokryong.”
– Yes, Jin-woo. I’m ready.
“Fire right now.”
– Yes!
Pokryong unleashed all the accumulated Pokryong Faction energy at once.
Pokryong Arts.
Secret technique.
Flame.
Hwarararararak!
A fireball that rose from outside the range took the form of an explosive dragon and charged straight toward Dracula.
– No, what the hell is this now!
Dracula was horrified.
Of all things, he was weak to fire attributes, and that skill looked obviously different from anything he’d seen.
Moreover, since he had just unleashed all his power, he couldn’t find the timing to dodge the skill.
In the end.
Kwaaaaaaaang!
Dracula took a direct hit from Pokryong Arts: Flame!
– Kyaaaaaaak!
Dracula’s body began to burn.
He screamed continuously from pain on a completely different level than Hunkyo’s sword.
His body curved like a bow and convulsed violently.
‘This is impossible.’
This wasn’t ordinary fire.
It felt like fire compressed and compressed again.
– Wh-what… what are you people!
In all the countless years Dracula had lived, he had never once encountered enemies of this type.
Dracula’s HP began dropping at an incredible speed.
– Kyaaaaaaak!
He screamed like mad, but there was nothing Dracula could do.
Hunkyo and Doldoli moved again, interfering with Dracula’s fire extinguishing process.
Seeing the situation was almost over, Baek Jin-woo slowly walked over.
“Who are we, you ask?”
Then he smirked.
“What’s the point of knowing? You’ll be dead soon anyway.”
He’d die and then come back to life again.
He’d revive and appear on someone else’s 20th floor without knowing anything.
After all, he was just part of the Battle of Summoners setting.
Hwaleuleuleuk!
The Pokryong faction energy that shot out from Pokryong’s staff transformed into flames and burrowed into Dracula’s mouth.
The flames that penetrated everywhere completely burned his insides.
– …!
Dracula, who could no longer speak or scream, began turning pitch black.
The process of turning to ash.
It was exactly the same as with the One-eyed (S-rank).
He used to be a tremendous boss in the past, but now he was nothing to Baek Jin-woo.
[Eliminating 20th floor boss, ‘Dracula’ (S-rank).]
[Congratulations!]
[You have conquered the 20th floor of the Tower of Trials!]
The 20th floor was also.
Easy.
News of conquering the 20th floor of the Tower of Trials was delivered to only two places.
Yubak, and the Head of Player Association.
“…Hehehehehe.”
The Head of Player Association who received the news shook his head back and forth.
“Is this real? Did he really clear floors 11 through 20 in just 4 hours?”
“That’s correct.”
The tower management staff also wore an expression of disbelief.
How could someone clear the Tower of Trials faster than clearing a regular dungeon!
His mouth was itching.
He wanted to grab someone and ramble on about Baek Jin-woo’s greatness.
But?
If he did that without Baek Jin-woo’s permission, he would receive the system’s curse.
Contracts were sacred, after all.
“The 30th floor? Is he going to challenge that too?”
The Head of Player Association was now excited.
The 30th floor had a boss that even the famous Rachel hadn’t challenged yet.
Why was it?
It seemed like Baek Jin-woo would easily clear that too.
“I don’t know about that. When he first entered the 11th floor, he said he would climb to the 20th floor, and he did exactly that and left.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
Well, so what.
What did it matter either way!
The Head of Player Association had to feel pure joy for the first time in a while.
Setting aside his own interests, just the pure awe felt when seeing an incredible person.
And the national pride from knowing such a person belonged to South Korea!
‘It’s changing gradually, no, rapidly.’
Like seeing the forest, watching from afar, he could feel it.
That current South Korea was undergoing tremendous change because of one person.
Baek Jin-woo canceled all his schedules.
He didn’t go to the training ground and went straight up to the penthouse.
Why?
After comfortably running through the tower, he had to organize his rewards right away!
– Kiruurururu!
Baek Jin-woo reverse-summoned the wyvern that had carefully landed on the rooftop.
This was the good thing about the penthouse.
He could enter the house directly without going through the first floor!
Cheok!
Hunkyo went to a corner to polish his sword upon arrival, and Doldoli settled on the rooftop to begin keeping watch.
– Refrigerator! Refrigerator! Refrigerator!
Ramba ran off to look for cream bread.
Deureureuk!
Pokryong was grinding coffee beans in the coffee grinder.
It wasn’t for himself to drink, but for Jin-woo who had worked hard.
“Hah.”
Baek Jin-woo sat on the soft sofa and organized the rewards he had obtained in a clear manner.
[11th Floor – Universal Polish x 15]
[12th Floor – Advanced Summoning Scroll x 20]
[13th Floor – Supreme Summoning Scroll x 5]
[14th Floor – Mind Reading Orb (A-rank) x 1]
[15th Floor – Essence of Darkness x 15]
[16th Floor – Universal Polish x 15]
[17th Floor – Supreme Summoning Scroll x 5]
[18th Floor – Supreme Rune Selection Ticket (Bound)]
[19th Floor – Universal Polish x 15]
[20th Floor – King’s Insignia (Bound) x 1, Supreme Rune Selection Ticket (Bound) x 2]
Good.
Very good.
He needed a lot of polish and 45 pieces was plenty, and the rest wasn’t bad either.
Especially.
‘Mind Reading Orb?’
This was a summoned creature that even Baek Jin-woo was seeing for the first time, and it was quite fascinating when he read about it.
[Summoned Creature: Mind Reader Bird]
[Species: Eagle]
[Grade: A-rank (Rare)]
– Limited summoned creature with only 50 entities worldwide.
[Level: 1]
[Stats]
Strength: 1, Intelligence: 1, Stamina: 1, Agility: 1
HP: 1,000, MP: 100
Critical Hit Rate: 20%
Critical Hit Damage: 20%
[Skills]
– Mind Reading: Once per day, reads minds to discern whether the target is telling the truth or lying.
It seemed to be a summoned creature with special characteristics, like the rainbow snail his mother had or the translator bird that Jasim had given him…
Wow.
A lie detector bird.
It seemed like a summoned creature that would be very useful if given to the police or the National Intelligence Service.
Actually, something like this was much better than high-grade or top-grade summoning scrolls.
Since it had rarity, it had that much value.
But.
‘I don’t really need something like this.’
Even if I could use it occasionally, I probably wouldn’t use it often.
‘Rather.’
Wouldn’t it suit Yu Ji-a, who does business regularly, better?
At such a young age, she has to deal with all sorts of cunning people, so having that bird would probably reduce her burden somewhat.
She’d be less likely to get backstabbed too.
‘She’d probably use it more effectively than I would.’
Come to think of it.
It seemed like I’d only been receiving things from Yu Ji-a and had never properly given her anything.
Even if she takes a share, I still can’t forget the summoned creatures she gave me when she didn’t even know me.
Especially since the gifts she gave to my family were from her own pocket, not company money.
Right!
Let’s give this to Yu Ji-a as a gift!
Baek Jin-woo didn’t bother to summon the Mind Reader Bird.
Now that everything was settled, the first thing he needed to do.
‘Rune Dwarf.’
Thud.
Baek Jin-woo stood up from his seat.
– Jin-woo, what about this coffee…?
Pokryong had thoughtfully brought steaming hot coffee.
“Thanks, but you drink it first. I need to go somewhere for a bit.”
Now.
It was time to work on meeting another EX-rank summoned creature.
Making a guaranteed B-rank summoning scroll!
Wait for me, Rune Dwarf!
I’ll summon you and put you to good use!
