I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 094

Tower of Trials 26th Floor (3)

From the 26th floor onward, a total of 3 cities must be raided.

Originally, I would have moved to each one directly and cleared them, but now I can’t do that.

I need to take down the City Ghost (B-rank) in each city within 5 hours.

“Hunkyo.”

– Yes, Master.

“You’ll move north alone. Are you confident?”

– Of course.

“And the rest of you move west.”

At Baek Jin-woo’s command, Ramba raised her cute little hand.

– Then what about Jin-woo? Which way are you going?

“I’ll move east with the Sky Wyvern.”

– Huh?

Ramba was shocked.

– Jin-woo is going alone? That’s too dangerous!

“There’s no choice. Otherwise, I’ll have to reset Pokryong.”

How inconvenient.

But there’s no choice.

100 days of suffering!

If it’s to obtain such an absurdly overpowered ultra skill, I have to endure it.

And strictly speaking, I’m not alone.

I have the wyvern and the puppets.

“I can definitely take down a City Ghost with the puppets, so don’t worry too much.”

From now on, it’s all about control.

What other players could never do even if they died trying, Baek Jin-woo can do.

“Ramba.”

– U-uh?

“Quickly stack up. Your firepower is the most lacking there, so without your stacks, we might not be able to push through.”

– Right… Pokryong isn’t here either.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Ramba began swinging her staff.

Now the only thing Ramba can rely on is Doldoli.

She needs to stack Doldoli to maximum and slash around with the scythe.

“Alright, there’s no time. Let’s depart quickly.”

At worst, the Pokryong Quest would just reset.

That part would just require about a month more of training, so it’s not a problem.

It would be a bit disappointing though.

Also, there would be the matter of having to persuade Hwang Ji-woo more, but well.

She’s a guild member now, so she’ll comply if I tell her to.

Whoosh!

Baek Jin-woo soared up with the wyvern’s wingbeats.

“The last person to finish loses, right?”

– I’ll run right away, Master!

– Got it! I can’t lose! Let’s gooooo!

The summoned creatures began scattering to their designated locations.

Screech!

Feeling the cool wind, Baek Jin-woo fell into contemplation.

Current floor: 26th floor.

Listing the rewards obtained so far:

[21st Floor – Universal Grinding Stone x 20]

[22nd Floor – Supreme Rune Selection Ticket (Bound) x 2]

[23rd Floor – Advanced Summoning Scroll x 25]

[24th Floor – Supreme Summoning Scroll x 7]

[25th Floor – Universal Grinding Stone x 20]

To conclude, it was ordinary.

The usual items that come out well from the Tower of Trials!

I was hoping for rare monsters like the Mind Reading Squad (A-rank) or high-grade random boxes, but unfortunately they didn’t drop well.

‘I can see it now.’

Has it been about an hour since flying through the air?

Ghosts gradually began to appear.

“Wyvern.”

– Kiruruuru!

“Fly a bit lower.”

Squaaaaa!

The wyvern cut through the sky and descended.

Enjoying the thrilling sensation in my stomach, I concentrated.

‘I need to catch every single one.’

That way, the difficulty of the 30th floor final boss, ‘Phantom’ (S-rank), will decrease.

Swoosh!

Baek Jin-woo moved his fingers to simultaneously control five puppets.

Fire Golem, Water Golem, Mokrui, Geumrui, Earth Golem!

They glided in zigzags beside the wyvern, unleashing elemental attacks.

Afterimages left behind each time!

Kuuuuuuuu!

– Kiaaaaa!

– Kieeeeek!

The ghosts split apart, screaming.

‘Why is this so easy?’

It was strange.

Is there really such a thing as natural aptitude?

Things that didn’t work well during Battle of Summoners now flow smoothly.

‘I’m definitely more suited for reality than monitors.’

Click!

Baek Jin-woo turned on the recording function of the equipment he was wearing.

Until now, I just destroyed everything without strategy guides, so I didn’t need to turn it on, but this time it seemed necessary.

‘I should show this to Song Yeon-hee.’

It would probably be a great help.

Screech!

The further forward I went, the higher the frequency of appearing ghosts became.

I seemed to be getting closer to the city.

Naturally, I moved while destroying all the ghosts, and my level rose tremendously as a result.

…

[‘Fire Golem’ (B-rank)’s level rises to 30.]

[‘Fire Golem’ (B-rank)’s Power increases by 3.]

[‘Water Golem’ (B-rank)’s level rises to 30.]

[‘Water Golem’ (B-rank)’s Power increases by 3.]

…

Wow.

Already level 30.

I mentioned this before when we were doing synthesis, but the max level is 100.

But usually, the maximum you can raise through low-grade summoned creature synthesis is considered to be around 35.

After that, you absolutely cannot raise it through synthesis.

You have to do it almost entirely through hunting, and even then it barely goes up.

‘Max level takes about 5 years, right?’

And that’s only achievable if you hunt every single day without missing a day like a shut-in.

Even Jinugod from “Battle of Summoners” only started seeing one or two max level creatures around his 8th year.

‘The average level of world rankers is probably in the 50s?’

Even that is actually incredibly high.

Later on, going from 51 to 52 requires more experience than the entire experience pool from 1 to 51!

‘Song Yeon-hee should be grateful.’

I’m letting her devour all this incredible ghost experience.

‘As for mine…’

It’s fine.

Actually, there was a separate doll that Baek Jin-woo would use later.

It’s an A-grade unique doll that can be bought from the shop as a reward for the upcoming Chaos Dragon.

The problem is that since it’s unique, there’s only one per server and you have to get it first-come-first-served, but let’s talk about that later.

‘Let me focus now.’

The outline of the city is gradually becoming visible.

Every single one of those is a ghost!

‘About 3 and a half hours remaining.’

I need to destroy them all within that time to clear, so I need to move my fingers diligently.

[You defeat 3 Ghost Cities.]

[Congratulations!]

[You conquer the 26th Floor of the Tower of Trials!]

To put it simply…

Baek Jin-woo came in last place.

‘That’s natural.’

No matter how well I control the doll, how could I beat EX-grade summoned creatures?

When about 3 hours passed, Hunkyo defeated one city, and when about 4 hours passed, the Ramba Family defeated a city.

When Baek Jin-woo, who had completely cleared the city outskirts, was about halfway through clearing the interior, there were about 20 minutes left.

Baek Jin-woo, pressed for time, immediately went to the center and defeated the city ghost.

Well, leaving this much was fine.

It wouldn’t be fun if it was too easy, right?

Hunkyo just needs to be a bit more active on the 30th floor.

And the reward arrives!

[A reward arrives.]

[‘Guaranteed Summoning Scroll’ (C-grade) acquired!]

Huh?

Baek Jin-woo’s eyes widened.

Wait.

What did it say?

Guaranteed Summoning Scroll?

Fuck…

Fuck, this is itttttt!

Baek Jin-woo shouted hurray along with a cheer.

It was already getting dark.

Creak!

As I opened the tower entrance and came out, the cool autumn evening air entered my lungs.

“Jin-woo!”

Hwang Ji-woo came running over as if she had been waiting.

‘Nice.’

A campfire was set up in front of the tower, and it seemed like Pokryong’s handiwork.

“Huh? You look really happy?”

“Is it that obvious?”

Hahaha.

I was happy.

How could I not be happy!

I had told Baek A-jin too.

To definitely let me know if a C-grade guaranteed summoning scroll or blueprint came out.

To search every corner of the world.

But it happened to!

Come out on just the 26th floor!

‘To think it would come out for me specifically.’

“Where’s Song Yeon-hee?”

“She finished training and went home. She said she’ll come out at 5 AM tomorrow.”

Ah, right.

While Hwang Ji-woo is camping here because of the contract, Song Yeon-hee has no particular reason to stay together.

“Isn’t it hard?”

Come to think of it, I’m really grateful to Hwang Ji-woo.

No matter how much it’s a contractual relationship, to be tied to this place with her freedom taken away because of Pokryong.

“It would be a lie to say it’s not hard, but I’m as happy as I am tired.”

“Happy?”

“Yes, because I’m lucky enough to be standing in a position that any player would want to be in.”

Oh my, how.

Even the way she speaks is so pretty.

With that kind of mindset, good fortune will fall from the sky even while sleeping.

“Pokryong was doing well too, right?”

As I approached the campfire and sat next to it, Pokryong responded with a smile.

– Yes, Jin-woo. I’ve been communicating with Ji-woo the whole time. Should I go to the next floor?

“Yeah, you have to go… but wait a moment.”

Swoosh!

First, I took out the guaranteed summoning scroll.

“Let me do some summoning first.”

Right.

It must be lonely camping here alone, so at least watch something good.

[Guaranteed Summoning Scroll]

[Grade: C-grade]

[You can definitely summon a desired C-grade summoned creature.]

Ahhh.

No matter how many times I look at it, it’s moving.

The list of remaining EX-grade summoned creatures is as follows.

– Small Giant (C-grade)

– Dhampir (C-grade)

– Aso (A-grade)

– Demon Cat (A-grade)

– Destruction Dragon (S-grade)

Those are the original grades, but since they’ve been patched, they’ll be EX-grade in reality.

‘Small Giant or Dhampir…’

Small Giant is a tank, and Dhampir is a healer.

The problem is that having just one of them makes you almost treated like trash, and you have to use both together to be overpowered.

‘It’s a bit disappointing that I have to use one first though.’

If Baek Jin-woo had to choose first, it would definitely be the Small Giant.

‘Let’s go.’

Riiip!

Baek Jin-woo boldly tore the summoning scroll.

[Using ‘Guaranteed Summoning Scroll’ (C-rank)!]

[Player ‘Baek Jin-woo’ is selecting a summoned creature!]

Whoooosh!

It was exactly the same as before.

An enormous number of cards covered Baek Jin-woo’s vision.

[Please think of the summoned creature you desire!]

Baek Jin-woo immediately pictured the Small Giant’s appearance.

Jakgeo for short.

What a contradictory name.

Giant means a big person, but then it’s also small…

And you know what’s even funnier?

The guy isn’t even human.

It’s a golem.

An ordinary stone golem with weeds growing all over its body.

Shuffle, shuffle!

The cards mixed together, then left only one card remaining.

[‘Small Giant’ (EX-rank)]

Nice!

As expected, EX-rank!

Baek Jin-woo grabbed the card without hesitation.

[Player ‘Baek Jin-woo’ has obtained summoned creature ‘Small Giant’ (EX-rank)!]

The legendary masochist tanker whose HP and MP both fill up the more it gets hit!

The one that once built an impregnable tank line like Mount Tai in combination with the Dhampir appears.

– Guh, gwoooh?

Thoom!

A small-sized golem about 3 meters tall emerged through the air.

It was holding a massive shield.

[Summoned Creature: Small Giant]

[Race: Golem]

[Rank: EX-rank (Isolation Judgment)]

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

[Level: 1]

[Stats]

Strength: 1, Intelligence: 1, Stamina: 1, Agility: 1

HP: 1,000, MP: 0

Critical Hit Rate: 20%

Critical Hit Damage: 20%

[Skills]

– Indomitable: Recovers 20% of damage taken as HP.

– Magic Absorption: Recovers 20% of damage taken as MP.

– Gwoh! Gwoooh!

Like Doldoli, communication isn’t possible with this guy.

“Wh-what is this?”

“This guy?”

Baek Jin-woo smiled at Hwang Ji-woo’s question.

“Say hello. This is Jakgeo, who you’ll be seeing often from now on.”

– Gwoooooh!

It was the first meeting with Jakgeo, who would reliably guard Baek Jin-woo’s front from now on.
