I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 085

New National Team (2)

‘Wow.’

Yu Ji-a, who had come to meet Park Ho and the Baekho officer, was at a loss for words.

A summoned creature blocking the front of the car.

A threatening yet blatant expression.

She could understand what that meant without having to ask.

No matter how wronged they felt, were they really going to use force with summoned creatures now?

“What are you doing right now?”

Thud!

Yu Ji-a frowned as she closed the sports car door that had been half-open.

Then she quietly prepared a skill.

– Desperate Call: Once a day, forcibly summons a designated target player.

An intermediate skill that could call Baek Jin-woo.

This was the biggest reason Yu Ji-a could act freely in South Korea, which had lost its public safety functions.

Therefore, Yu Ji-a wasn’t flustered.

Rather, she had to try to suppress her rising anger.

For reference, Yu Ji-a had registered this intermediate skill to a rare summoned creature, the Snow Owl (B-grade).

The Snow Owl was a kind of CCTV.

It recorded and filmed all scenes within a 10-meter radius three-dimensionally.

And automatically at that.

While filming without the other party’s consent was illegal, this much was basic in a criminal nation.

“You’re not even a gang, but as the master of a major guild, you’re blocking an ordinary person with no combat ability using summoned creatures? And coming in a group at that?”

“You should have known when to stop.”

Crack.

Park Ho clenched his fist.

“Don’t you know that even a mouse bites a cat when cornered? Well, waging a public opinion war with discord rumors was fine. I’ll admit it. I had my own greed too. But selecting a new national team? You? By what right?”

Park Ho had a face that could no longer contain his anger.

She had destroyed Baekho, which he had built over three years, with just a few words and political maneuvering.

He had also realized during the investigation process.

‘She was actually faster than me.’

Clearly, Yu Ji-a had recruited people and prepared public opinion manipulation before Park Ho began his political schemes in earnest.

What did that mean?

It meant she had planned to bring down Baekho from the beginning.

Grind!

Park Ho, grinding his teeth, extended his right hand horizontally.

Then Bok Jeong-hee and Seo Sang-won subtly moved to block the escape route.

“Sigh.”

Yu Ji-a let out a sigh.

“So what exactly are you planning to do with this?”

“What do you think.”

Park Ho’s eyes turned cold.

Even though this was within South Korea, a summoning backward country, he was someone who had played the role of ruler there for three whole years.

He had operated his guild with persistence and viciousness, and had definitively dealt with those who opposed the group’s interests or insulted the group.

Even if the target was someone from Daeseong?

It didn’t matter.

“We’ll make you pay the price for insulting us and then defect. Anyway, public opinion has all turned toward Baek Jin-woo, hasn’t it? We have no intention of fighting for those who criticize us either.”

“Making me pay the price… Can you take responsibility for those words?”

Park Ho.

This bastard has really gone too far.

Yu Ji-a was dumbfounded.

How could he think of committing murder in downtown Seoul?

Had the public been revering such a guild as the nation’s best all this time?

Baekho’s revealed true face was disgustingly ugly.

“Why, are you scared? You should have been more careful about who you messed with. And speak properly. The responsibility should be borne by you, who insulted us.”

Yu Ji-a chuckled.

Far from being scared, she rather leisurely crossed her arms.

Anyway, as long as she had Baek Jin-woo’s protection, there was nothing to fear.

“First, all four of you are thinking the same thing, right?”

“…”

“I’ll ask one last time. Following one stupid leader to the point of giving up nationality and committing crimes – that’s really your own thoughts, right?”

Those were pointed words.

Saying she couldn’t understand why they would watch and follow such stupid behavior.

“That’s right.”

“We’re the ones who are wronged.”

“You excluded us from training and planned to bring us down from the beginning… What makes you so great that you talk about crimes? Aren’t you no different from us?”

Bok Jeong-hee and Seo Sang-won also backed up Park Ho’s words.

Yu Ji-a knew why they were acting like this.

They originally had rotten intentions, and they had also acted on those rotten intentions…

‘They’re saying I made the first move.’

That’s why they were talking like that.

Saying she was the same kind of person as them.

But they didn’t know.

That Yu Ji-a had a mind-reading group.

That she had simply detected their rotten intentions early and responded accordingly.

But what meaning would that have at this point?

The two groups were already pointing guns at each other, and it couldn’t be undone.

“No need for more conversation. Attack. Kill only Yu Ji-a and leave Korea immediately.”

“”Yes!””

Seo Sang-won’s summoned creature, an ogre, raised its massive arm.

‘Can’t be helped.’

Just as Yu Ji-a was about to quickly use ‘Desperate Call’.

“Wait.”

Kang Geon-ho blocked her path, and at the same time.

– Roooooooar!

The ogre’s arm that had shot up toward the sky with its club.

Slash!

Kang Geon-ho’s summoned creature, a Paladin (A-grade), easily cut it off.

Whoosh!

A fountain of blood decorating the sky and the ogre screaming in agony.

“Kang Geon-ho! What are you doing!”

Park Ho shouted.

“Is this betrayal?”

“It’s more conviction than betrayal.”

“Conviction?”

“Hyung Ho. Let’s stop being ugly now. Even though we’ve killed people a few times, it was against gangs. Not ordinary civilians, right? This has gone too far.”

“Gangs or them. They all tried to kill us the same way.”

“No, they never tried to kill us.”

“Do you only die when your throat is cut and your heart is pierced? Social burial is the same as killing.”

“Stop making sophistry. If hyung wants to kill Yu Ji-a, you’ll have to kill me first.”

“No matter how strong you are, it would be difficult to face the three of us, wouldn’t it?”

It was about to become a 1 vs 3 situation.

Swoosh!

A man appeared in front of Yu Ji-a.

It was Baek Jin-woo, who had responded to her desperate call.

“What’s this?”

As he looked around wondering what the situation was.

“Jin-woo!”

Yu Ji-a hurried over to him and began telling him everything.

Not only that?

She even showed him the footage that the snow owl had recorded while explaining earnestly.

“Huh.”

Kang Geon-ho, who had been watching this scene, let out a short sigh and turned his gaze toward Park Ho.

“It looks like Ho hyung is going to be the one in trouble here?”

“….”

“Or should I say fucked instead of in trouble?”

That was exactly right.

Park Ho, Bok Jeong-hee, and Seo Sang-won.

All three were looking at Baek Jin-woo with completely stiffened expressions.

Having already learned Baek Jin-woo’s position through frequent consulting, they knew better than anyone.

They already knew that even if the three of them attacked together, their chances of winning converged to 0%.

‘Shit, we’re fucked!’

Baek Jin-woo’s expression hardened.

‘Look at these bastards?’

This was malicious.

‘Since they knew they’d obviously lose if they came to me directly, they planned to just take out Ji-a who has no combat power and run?’

This had severely crossed the line.

“These fucking bastards.”

Swish.

As Baek Jin-woo raised his arm.

Swoosh!

Hunkyo was summoned right there.

Perhaps reading his master’s anger and will, Hunkyo drew his sword while radiating killing intent.

“W-wait.”

“We’ll just leave.”

Feeling the tremendous aura that was suffocating, the three rankers began backing away.

The situation assessment was already complete.

He just needed to eliminate everyone except Kang Geon-ho, and there would be no compromise.

“Last words.”

Baek Jin-woo muttered quietly.

“No last words?”

The action he hated most was touching the people around him.

He thought this had been sufficiently learned through the gang extermination incident.

“L-last words? Didn’t you hear us say we’ll just leave?”

“We were just threatening with words. You don’t think we’d actually kill people, do you? We were just planning to rough her up a bit and leave.”

They were making excuses, but none of it was getting through to his ears.

Because it wasn’t worth listening to anyway.

Those bastards had tried to kill someone.

From the moment that failed, they were bastards who deserved to die.

‘Moreover.’

The target was Yu Ji-a.

“Sweep them all away.”

– Yes, Master.

Tremendous energy began pouring out from Hunkyo’s body.

It was the yin-yang energy controlled by the Resonance Magic Art.

‘C-crazy.’

‘What kind of summoned creature has that kind of aura….’

‘Was Hunkyo originally that kind of summoned creature?’

Baekho’s rankers knew Hunkyo well.

Because they had seen him often during consulting.

But even they were seeing Hunkyo going all out for the first time.

“Block him first!”

Park Ho shouted.

Thinking coldly, escape was difficult anyway.

Rather than just taking it, they had to struggle as much as possible.

‘Besides.’

While he could understand the confidence, Baek Jin-woo currently only had one summoned creature out.

Now was the opportunity.

When his Ramba, Pokryong, and others came pouring out, then it would really be hopeless.

“Don’t block, just all attack together!”

As expected of national team members, they quickly united and switched to offense, but.

Swish swish swish…!

There was no way they could handle Hunkyo who was enhanced with Trinity Runes.

Hunkyo simply slowly drew his sword downward.

– Krek?

– Krrrrrk!

One sword strike.

With that single downward cut, all the summoned creatures that had been charging stopped moving.

“What are you doing! Move!”

“What’s wrong with these guys! Is this a bug?”

All the summoned creatures were already overwhelmed by Hunkyo.

No, they had already been cut.

Slash slash slash slash slash!

It was just that he had cut at the speed of light, so the sound couldn’t keep up.

‘Insane!’

This was ridiculous.

A single summoned creature’s one sword strike had collapsed the full power that three national team members had deployed?

And this futilely?

Losing was one thing, but this was too much!

“Summon another team!”

As you know, players can possess numerous summoned creatures.

They can also organize their possessed summoned creatures into ‘teams’ and register up to three teams in advance.

When their elite team was reverse-summoned all at once, the rankers immediately brought out their backup second team.

No, to be precise, they were about to bring them out.

Swoosh!

Energy shot from Hunkyo’s finger and split into three streams.

It pierced through the gaps in their disappeared shields and struck them precisely.

– Dare to pay the price for making Master uncomfortable.

The Bone-Splitting Muscle-Tearing technique was unleashed!

“Keu, keuaaaaaaak!”

“Aaaahhhhh!”

“Graaahhhhh!”

To summon, one must either shout with their mouth or adjust their vision—one of the two.

But with such tremendous pain they had never experienced pouring through their entire bodies, they were too busy screaming.

All the Rankers who weren’t his disciples were in this state.

Bodies of ordinary people who didn’t exercise or practice mental cultivation like breathing techniques.

How could such bodies endure having their bones crack and muscles tear into tiny pieces?

‘It doesn’t matter even if they somehow manage to summon.’

In the end, they would just be cut down by Hunkyo anyway.

“How many minutes did you set Hunkyo for?”

– 1 minute, Master.

Summoned creatures aside, 1 minute was the limit for ordinary Players’ mental strength.

Beyond that, the probability of mental problems occurring became considerably high.

However.

“Too weak.”

Baek Jin-woo’s voice was cold.

He muttered without even glancing at the Rankers who had collapsed and were screaming.

“Set it to 10 minutes.”

– I shall obey your command.

Mercy toward enemies was a luxury.
