I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 096

Tower of Tribulation 30th Floor

Watching Song Yeon-hee jumping around excitedly and the guild members roaring with clenched fists, Baek Jin-woo was dazed.

He was completely out of it.

Seriously?

For real?

That actually came out?

This easily?

Wow, really!

I should have tried this sooner!

“Uhaha!”

Laughter finally burst from Baek Jin-woo’s mouth as well.

This was truly a feast of pure dopamine he hadn’t felt in a long time.

Was it okay to be this happy?

“Wow, the guild master is laughing!”

Uhahahaha! Well done, Song Yeon-hee! Well done!”

“Wow, how does it come out so dramatically at the very last moment like this?”

“Niiiiice!”

That’s right, Song Yeon-hee.

Constitution aside.

Now she truly had sufficient qualifications to become a disciple.

To bring a Dampir.

That alone brought tremendous contribution.

It was quite amazing.

‘Has my life ever gone this well?’

The so-called luck-dependent hell game was exactly “Battle of Summoners,” and Baek Jin-woo wasn’t particularly lucky.

Of course, his luck was pretty good now… Ah, whatever.

It just felt good.

“Song Yeon-hee.”

“Yes, guild master!”

“…First, let go of this.”

Being happy was good, but how long was she planning to stay attached like this?

“Oh my, I’m sorry!”

Song Yeon-hee, startled, moved far away.

Baek Jin-woo chuckled.

“Let’s exchange right now. I’ll transfer the 100 billion immediately too.”

It probably wouldn’t happen, but he hastily requested the trade in case Song Yeon-hee had second thoughts.

And one more thing.

Seeing the guild members celebrating so much over something that didn’t really concern them made him smile naturally.

‘We’re really becoming a family now.’

It felt like bonds were gradually forming.

Under the group called SKY, it felt like they were connected by collective emotions rather than individual ones.

A feeling of pride and strange fulfillment surged up for no reason.

So he declared.

“Today I’ll give an additional 10 billion to all national team members!”

“Waaaah!”

“Guild master is the best!”

Today was SKY’s first bonus day.

And it was quite enough money to express the joy of obtaining Jakgeo and Dampir.

The process of drawing Dampir was exactly the same as with Jakgeo.

Float float.

Cards flew around in all directions, and he picked one of them.

[Dampir (EX-grade)]

Dampir is a type of vampire.

A half-human hybrid, or in English, a half-vampire.

It would naturally be a lower species than Jinjo, Dracula (S-grade), the boss of the Tower of Tribulation 20th Floor…

‘But the absolute performance isn’t like that.’

Honestly speaking, in terms of performance alone, it was trash.

It was natural since no one had used it for 8 years.

But?

‘When used together with Jakgeo, the story becomes completely different.’

First.

Baek Jin-woo welcomed Dampir.

– Uh, umm… You.

In some ways, did she look similar to Pokryong?

A white female vampire of about that size looked at Baek Jin-woo with emotionless eyes.

The kid was, how to put it.

Slightly expressionless and you couldn’t tell what she was thinking.

– Are you Jinugod?

“Not Jinugod, but Jin-woo.”

Baek Jin-woo immediately corrected her.

At least that was fortunate.

Unlike Doldoli or Jakgeo, she seemed to know how to speak.

Even as a hybrid, she had human blood mixed in according to the setting, so that made sense.

– How did this happen…? More than that, my throat, my throat is so dry.

Ah, right.

Dampir had one very strange setting, which was that she sucked the player’s blood.

‘Damn.’

When it was just a game, having the character’s blood sucked didn’t matter… but now that it’s reality, this feels quite odd.

– Blood, blood… I need Jinugod’s blood.

“Hmm.”

What to do about this.

She wouldn’t suck too much, right?

Still, she’d probably drink more than a mosquito…

Would it be itchy then?

Baek Jin-woo didn’t bother to stop Dampir as she staggered closer.

Right, she wouldn’t kill me, would she?

‘She’s a summoned creature, and I’m a player?’

And then.

– Waah!

Just as she was about to bite his wrist with her mouth.

Thwack!

Hunkyo’s scabbard struck Dampir’s torso, sending her flying through the air.

– What do you think you’re doing, you impudent thing.

That wasn’t all.

Whoooosh!

Flames blazed from Pokryong’s dragon head staff, and Ramba’s eyes had also become menacing.

– Jin-woo! She just tried to eat Jin-woo, right!

– If you approach Jin-woo without permission again, I might burn you with fire.

Even the gentle Pokryong said something chilling.

Dampir just tilted her head with an expressionless face.

– I, blood… I’ll collapse without blood.

And then.

Thud!

She collapsed to the floor.

“…”

Sigh.

Well, this is something.

She might be more troublesome to handle than I thought?

First, let me check her information.

[Summoned Creature: Dampir]

[Race: Half Vampire]

[Grade: EX-grade (Isolation Classification)]

– 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]

– Drain: Uses others’ MP as a source to heal both the target and herself.

‘Drain.’

Looking at it now, it seems like a pretty shabby skill, but when combined with Jakgeo’s skills, it’s no joke.

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

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

These are Jakgeo’s skills – do you get the feeling?

The Small Giant’s MP fills up the more it gets hit, and Dampir can use that MP to heal both herself and Jakgeo.

In other words, infinite recovery is possible if the conditions are met!

‘Of course.’

Without graduation runes, it’s pretty useless.

Only by pushing those two skills to their limits with graduation runes can an invincible tank line be formed.

“First, kids. Don’t be too hard on Dampir.”

She really gets dizzy without blood.

Baek Jin-woo calmed down the summoned creatures and approached the collapsed Dampir.

Then.

“Here.”

He extended his arm and started the blood transfusion.

Like a child seeking mother’s milk, Dampir immediately bit down on his arm with a chomp!

‘This feels exactly like donating blood.’

He didn’t feel much.

It wasn’t itchy either, just a slightly stinging sensation.

This should be fine, right?

Probably giving her a blood transfusion once a day would be enough.

About 30 seconds passed?

Dampir slowly pulled her lips away.

– Thank you, Jinugod… no, Jin-woo. Thanks to you, I feel like my mind has cleared up somewhat.

“Don’t mention it.”

You need to stand in our royal line and fight hard too.

‘Rather, I should be the one thanking you.’

Anyway, Baek Jin-woo felt like he could fly today.

Ramba, Hunkyo, Pokryong, Doldol, Runde, Jakgeo, and now Dampir.

He now possessed a total of seven EX-grade summoned creatures!

‘Honestly speaking.’

Even if the past Jinugod came, he wouldn’t be afraid.

Of course, if he came right now, he’d get beaten up, but in just a little while, wouldn’t a truly legendary summoned creature composition be born?

“Hong Ari.”

“Huh? Yeah!”

Hong Ari, who had been blankly watching Dampir’s birth, answered in surprise.

“Starting tomorrow, it’s another week of autonomous training. Since I’m in a good mood today, rest well.”

“Okay!”

He’d thought about it a lot, and Hong Ari seemed most suitable for the vice guild master position.

She had the ability, and she also had experience running a major guild called Arirang, so she was perfect.

“And Song Yeon-hee and Hwang Ji-woo.”

“Yes!”

“Yes, Guild Master!”

“You two still need to climb the tower, right?”

Being happy is one thing, but he needed to wrap things up.

All national team members to the 20th floor of the tower!

And Baek Jin-woo decided to finish exactly up to the 30th floor before the World League.

‘Let’s take our time going to the 50th floor after the league.’

His original plan got twisted and messed up because of Jakgeo.

No matter how easy the World League might seem, he still needed to prepare properly.

He didn’t know about the others, but Rachel was a bit scary.

“Then that’s it for today, dismissed!”

Hwang Ji-woo looked enviously at the guild members scattering with cheers.

Naturally, Hwang Ji-woo was an exception.

And the one comforting her was.

– Don’t feel too left out. I’m here with you.

Whoosh!

Only Pokryong.

Song Yeon-hee and Hwang Ji-woo’s 20th floor work was also completely finished.

The pitiful one was Hunkyo.

Just how many days had he been worked to death as the Tower of Trials bus driver?

“Aren’t you tired?”

– Master, please don’t worry. I don’t really understand the concept of being tired.

“Now… we need to go to the 27th floor too.”

Now that he’d helped all the kids?

It was Baek Jin-woo’s turn.

– No problem at all, Master! Shall we go right away?

Hunkyo was truly an iron man.

A summoned creature that would never break no matter how tough things got!

Baek Jin-woo also immediately started running.

He’d easily cleared the 26th floor, so what was the 30th floor?

The moment he was advancing while smashing city ghosts, the empire ghost ruling a huge empire became enraged.

He’d reached the 30th floor.

The boss, Phantom (S-grade), was literally the empire itself.

Rummmmmmmble!

The whole world began to shake as the buildings of the Ghost Empire shot up into the air.

“Wow.”

Baek Jin-woo clicked his tongue at the sight.

He had seen it in the game, but seeing it in reality, the intimidation was no joke.

[All ghosts existing in the empire are fusing.]

[‘Phantom’ (S-rank) reveals its tremendous presence.]

Gooooooo…!

Up in that sky.

Something enormously massive was floating.

“Crazy.”

The oppressive feeling that being emitted made his breath catch in his throat.

– Master, are you alright?

“Yeah, I’m fine.”

This time he had to finish it within an hour.

Because.

– Jin-woo! I’ll get ready!

He had brought Pokryong too.

How could overwhelming firepower be missing Pokryong’s Flame technique!

It would be even better if he had Destruction or Devour, but for now he had to dish out damage as quickly as possible.

“Ramba, Doldol!”

– Yes!

– Kruk…!

And.

“Jakgeo, Dampir!”

He had brought those guys too.

To help?

Not at all.

He just brought them to stand here and leech some Phantom (S-rank) experience points.

Rather, he had left behind the doll that Song Yeon-hee used.

The Tower of Trials experience points were quite tremendous.

Thanks to that, Hunkyo’s current level had also risen tremendously.

Already 55.

It was because he had taken on the role of Tower of Trials bus driver and absorbed experience points.

“Hunkyo, you can handle it alone, right?”

– It’s sufficient. Anyway, it’s a guy with barely any strength left since we’ve been smashing everything up until now.

Baek Jin-woo was breathless, but Hunkyo was calm.

He even looked a bit excited by the tremendous destructive power surging from within.

– Ramba, put all stacks on me.

– I know!

– Then I’ll go right away.

Whoosh!

Hunkyo exhaled and flew up into the sky.

Kuagagagaga!

Tremendous pressure sucked Hunkyo in, but his posture didn’t waver.

He simply placed his right hand on the handle.

Shing!

The moment he swung his sword in one breath.

Kwaaaaaaaang!

With a tremendous roar, building debris scattered everywhere, and black energy flew in all directions.

Even in that chaotic moment, Baek Jin-woo didn’t close his eyes.

Whoosh!

Pokryong too.

Kwaddeuddeuk!

Doldol too.

As a result of diligently dealing damage from their positions.

[You defeat the 30th Floor boss, ‘Phantom’ (S-rank).]

[Congratulations!]

[You conquer the Tower of Trials 30th Floor!]

They were able to finish the guy off in exactly 5 minutes.

Honestly?

It was still manageable so far.
