Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 104



Episode 104

“Do you even know how to open this warehouse?”

In response to Suho’s question Ber quickly nodded.

[At most you can just tear the magic formation with force.]

At the same time Ver flew to the magic camp and slashed the blue flames of the magic camp with his fingernails.

Pussyuk.

At that moment the flames of the magic circle died down and the hidden space beyond opened its mouth.

“It’s open.”

Suho immediately prepared himself for battle holding two Volkan horns in both hands.

I didn’t know what would suddenly pop out of here.

But unfortunately what was waiting inside was not an enemy.

Quite the opposite.

[‘Item: Demon’s Essence’ has been acquired.]

“Essence of the devil?”

Suho picked up a fist-sized bead with a puzzled expression.

[Item: Essence of Devil]

Difficulty of acquisition: ??

Type: Jewelry

It is a sealing sphere where numerous demonic souls are sealed.

If you break it the demons can be released.

While checking the item information Volkan’s horn which I was holding in my other hand vibrated loudly.

As if he was sad that he was full.

Suho also ate his food as if it was a waste.

“It’s such a shame. “If I had discovered this sooner I would have been able to strengthen Volkan’s horn more easily.”

With Volkan’s quest over the devil’s soul was no longer of any value to Suho.

“I’ll take it to Eshil and ask him.”

Suho put the devil’s essence in his inventory.

The items contained in Italim’s warehouse were not limited to the essence of the devil.

[Milord I have discovered something important.]

Just then Ber who was rummaging around inside the warehouse found something and brought it back.

[‘Item: Italim’s Slate’ has been acquired.]

[Item: Italim’s Slate]

Difficulty of acquisition: ??

Type: Slab

This is a stone tablet engraved with the Italim language.

A special spell is cast.

Ver was next to me and pretended to know me.

[I know what this spell is. I clearly saw the Italim army using this to communicate with each other during the war.]

“You communicate through stone tablets?”

[yes. The problem is that there are two pairs but I see that there is only one here…]

“Someone else is holding the other one. “He’s the one who sent the mad blood tyrant here.”

[That is very likely.]

Suho stared at Italim’s stone tablet and thought about how to use it but there was no great result.

“Once you have this there will be a day when you can use it. “They will contact me first.”

Suho put Italim’s Slate in his inventory.

“I guess I have nothing more to gain.”

I thought that the Gwangblood Tyrant might have used this meteorite as a secret base to store the demon souls he had collected or to communicate with other apostles.

“Now let’s go back.”

* * *

“Where did you get this?!”

Esil was astonished as soon as she saw the ‘Essence of the Devil’ given to her by Suho.

“I picked it up when I came. “Is it something you need?”

“I can feel the souls of countless demons inside! “Could it be that this is an item belonging to a mad blood tyrant?”

Suho nodded at Esil’s quick-witted words.

“It seemed like that. “They say that if you break this the demon souls will be released. Do you know what will happen if you do?”

“You are literally being released. Demons do not die even if only their spiritual bodies remain. “If it floats nearby it will be possessed by an irrational creature or demonic beast and will be reborn as a new devil.”

“If I kill it then will I level up?”

“Are you saying your brain is salty from leveling up?…”

Eshil shook his head and sighed as if he couldn’t stop Suho’s words.

“Those newly born demons are so weak that they won’t even help you level up. “Rather than that it would be much more helpful to recruit them as my residents and use them to rebuild this land.”

“okay? “Then I guess I’ll have to break it right away.”

Damn.

Suho immediately broke the devil’s essence.

Then the spiritual bodies of countless demons began to come out like firecrackers.

Shwaaaaagh!

Kihihihihi-

Kyaaaaa!

Along with that there was the sound of eerie laughter coming from all directions.

Numerous ghosts trapped in the devil’s essence swirled around Suho and Esil emitting evil energy.

And drooling with sinister eyes in search of the delicious body in front of him to possess it…

[Keeee…?]

But they were quite perceptive.

As it happened the owner of the nearest body was the demon nobleman Esil so they slowly retreated and aimed at an opponent who seemed more formidable.

That’s Suho.

Because he was just a human being.

[….]

But the moment they saw Suho they realized.

Since I was in a spirit form I had no choice but to know.

Being human was just a shell.

In the shadow of the Guardian a deep and huge abyss stretched out far away like an abyss.

[Heeeeeeeek!]

The ghosts were even more frightened than when they found Esil and began to run away.

If you get dragged in there you will die!

The fear of not only dying but even having their souls eaten came over them!

“Why are they like that?”

“don’t mind. “Now I’m going to find small creatures that are worth taking care of and possess them.”

“Hmm. Are demons born that way?”

“that’s right. Even if we die as long as our soul remains we can be reborn in another body at any time. “That is the essence of spiritual embodiment.”

If we look at Esil’s possession of the Sword of Guardians it was part of that ability.

“The devil never dies. Just being reborn. However as soon as you get a new body most of your previous memories disappear so you can think of it as just dying.”

Esil muttered as he looked at the scattered devil souls.

“They are probably demons who fought against the Gwangblood Tyrant. If they had been sealed separately they would have been desirable souls even for a mad blood tyrant. “If they get a body and are reborn as demons they will be of great help to us.”

It was a welcome sound to hear.

* * *

From then on Eshil worked to unite all the demons of this land around the Colosseum.

Slaves who mined ore for the war gained freedom overnight.

However just because the ruler changed their daily lives did not change much.

“They say gods from outer space are attacking?”

“They say the Gwanghyeoltyrant was also a pawn of foreign media.”

“Somehow I thought it wasn’t an ordinary devil.”

“So what happens to us now?”

“Is there anything special? “If the enemies attack all you have to do is fight them.”

“Then you’ll need a weapon.”

Then without even thinking about who was first the demons started lifting their pickaxes again.

And even though he was not whipped by the demonic guards he started mining ore of his own free will.

The action was not due to Esil’s orders.

In the first place demons were not a race afraid of battle.

Rather they were people who enjoyed fighting against strong opponents and did not regret it even if they ended up being eaten due to their own weakness.

The reason was the belief that even if one dies one becomes a ghost and is reborn.

However even to them the existence of a bloodthirsty tyrant was very scary.

The Gwangblood Tyrant was a terrible bastard who burned up the souls of demons with blue flames and even took away their bodies.

“I can’t suffer from a tyrant king again!”

“Hehehe. It’s war! war!”

“Let’s prepare for war!”

“For Radir!”

“For Esil Ladir!”

blood.

Esil a demon noble only appeared and the demons began to unite around him.

That’s how much pureblood existence was of great value to demons.

Suho who was watching these scenes was curious and asked Ver.

“What is a pureblood that these people actively obey? “Is this really what I think?”

Ver nodded.

[you’re right. Only purebloods are eligible to become demon lords. Ultimately they hope that Eshil will become the new monarch someday. Only if there is a monarch can the demon world which is now torn into pieces be united again into one world.]

When Suho first met Esil Esil was clearly being chased by demons.

But in the end those demons just wanted to eat her and become demon nobles themselves.

Furthermore it may have been his will to gain the qualifications to become a demon lord and rebuild the demon world.

“This is all thanks to you Suho.”

Esil expressed his gratitude to Suho.

“I still haven’t regained my original strength. If those demons attack all at once right now it’s clear that we’ll be helplessly eaten. But it’s thanks to you that no one dares to think like that now.”

All the demons in the Colosseum watched from beginning to end as Suho defeated the Gwanghyeol Tyrant with overwhelming power.

As long as the very guardian being protected Esil Ladir no demon would dare to challenge the Ladir family.

But peace never came.

The reason why the demons themselves are preparing for war now is because of the fear that a new blood-blooded tyrant may appear with a meteorite at any time.

In order to do that…

“First I have to regain my original strength.”

“With bloodstone?”

“huh. Now that I am the owner of this land I will extract bloodstone little by little from the lower-level demons. “It’s a so-called ‘tribute.’”

There were many uses for bloodstone but the biggest one was for demon nobles to continuously absorb the blood of lower-level demons to maintain their power.

“But if you suck too much blood at once all your subordinates will die and their numbers will gradually decrease. So the point is to continuously suck at metallurgy. Now like this.”

Esil spread his hands wide towards the demons who had followed him.

Then.

Shoooooooo!

“…!”

A little blood was drawn from the demons’ bodies and clumped together into small beads.

Shwaaaaagh!

The sight of dozens and hundreds of black beads flying towards Esil and being absorbed was truly spectacular.

“ha….”

Suho who was watching Esil accept the power with an ecstatic expression was able to notice that Esil’s energy had become slightly stronger.

“Did you see it? It’s like this. Now it’s only a matter of time before I regain my original strength. But it’s not like I can extract bloodstones like this every day so I don’t have anything else to do right now right?”

Even though he was supposed to rule over the demons he was leaving the minor tasks to the demon servants anyway.

Even the old devil who had been Volkan’s servant became less work after Esil took him on as his servant.

Suho realizing what Esil was trying to say chuckled and held out his hand.

“Good. “Then for the time being I will work hard as a member of my guild.”

“Yes guild leader. Will you take good care of my salary? “Even though I’m like this I’m an aristocrat in my hometown so the price is a bit high.”

Esil smiled brightly and held Suho’s hand.

“Now let’s go back. To Earth.”
