Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 113



Episode 113

The next day.

Suho headed to Euljiro as soon as the sun came up.

Thanks to Lio Xing we knew the enemies we would have to face so now it was time to prepare accordingly.

‘Hundreds of archers…’

Of course I did not think that this information was absolutely certain.

It was also possible that there were more ice elves that were not revealed and that their numbers were much greater than that.

Moreover at the same time he had money to keep Suho from dying.

“Our guild leader has a lot of money. “I will buy you a protection item.”

That’s Rio Sing.

He who went on a business trip to scout Suho had a corporate business card issued by the Asura Guild.

Anyway he was willing to swipe as many cards as he could to cover his debt to Thomas Andre and gain Suho’s favor.

However Ber grabbed Lio Xing by the collar and growled fiercely.

[Don’t show off about the punishment that should be paid. At best the guilt of putting the Solord in danger will disappear…]

“Kekkek. It’s difficult to say. “Easy easy.”

[…I will use it well.]

Ber quickly snatched his corporate card and gave it to Suho.

Kwak-kkk-

Kiiiiing-!

When they arrived at Euljiro noises coming from all directions were waiting for them.

At one time this phrase was heard as a running joke here in Euljiro.

‘In Euljiro everything is sold except people.’

A general store where you can find almost anything you need.

A special area lined with special manufacturing plants equipped with numerous specialized equipment.

That place was Euljiro.

It was only after the cataclysm that Euljiro began to become more famous.

Finally the moment they left the narrow alley.

Woe!

…!

An incredible scene unfolded before them drawn into their wide-open vision.

[Euljiro Blacksmith]

(Blacksmith)

This is how Euljiro adapted to this turbulent era.

[Hunter-only survival kit wholesaler]

[Shield special processing]

[I will change the sword and ax blade.]

[Plate Armor Factory]

[Production/processing of blunt weapon casting]

A beautiful scenery lined with signs of all kinds.

Hunter supplies are sparklingly displayed in front of it.

There will be no hunter who wouldn’t roll their eyes after seeing this.

‘iced coffee! Is this Korea’s Hunter Mall?’

It was the same with Lio Xing.

Of course it’s not like there aren’t places like this in India but new weapons are waiting for you at new weapons stores.

Moreover it was quite unusual for him to see weapons dealers concentrated in one area like Korea.

“Suho! Jota here too! Item Shop! Blacksmith!”

In fact regardless of nationality or level hunters have no choice but to become equipment enthusiasts.

This is because ordinary hunters cannot level up like Suho so there is no way to become stronger.

Since the amount of horsepower was fixed the only effort they could make was to increase their physical strength.

In other words physical training through rigorous training such as gym or sports.

Or all they had to do was develop proficiency in using their skills in a variety of ways based on numerous practical experiences.

However there was one sure way to grow that could easily ignore all that hardship.

That’s right.

A stronger weapon!

More durable armor!

If you change the equipment you use to something slightly better wouldn’t you be able to become just as strong?

So it was only natural for hunters to be crazy about their equipment.

* * *

“Tsk. “Are you here now?”

In front of Euljiro Blacksmith there was someone who arrived first and was waiting for Suho.

The middle-aged man who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed looked at Suho and made a disapproving expression.

“…You might be the first person to call me to recommend some useful items.”

Suho was dumbfounded.

“No uncle. When did I call you out? “I just asked for a recommendation for a weapon shop I know and the person said he would come out…”

“After all you have to touch and feel the weapon before choosing it. What if I tell you about the tick through text message and you get caught somewhere? “Are you going to go and spread a rumor that the guild leader you bought back then has a poor sense of humor?”

“Oh no way I would do that.”

“…!”

Lio Xing who was listening to the conversation between the two next to him realized the identity of this man and trembled as if he had been struck by lightning.

‘oh my god! I was wondering where I saw you and it turned out to be S-class hunter Lim Tae-gyu?! Was this person acquainted with Hunter Seong Su-ho?’

Lio Xing had already familiarized himself with information about Korean hunters during his business trip.

Of course I knew someone like Lim Tae-gyu.

‘Now I see that Scavenger wasn’t the only competitor. Of course I didn’t realize that large guilds in Korea were also coveting Seong Su-ho.’

He looked at Suho’s intentions with a nervous expression.

“Suho. “Do you want to join the Shinigami Guild?”

“no.”

“No!”

Lio Xing’s face brightened again.

But it was still too early to relax.

“Who is this guy again? “New friend?”

“yes. “I’m an Asura Guild Hunter.”

“Ah was it an Indian hunter?”

At that moment Lim Tae-gyu’s indifferent gaze and Lio Xing’s eyes collided in the air and Lio Xing suddenly noticed.

The fact that Lim Tae-gyu’s expression towards Su-ho is full of regret(?).

‘That won’t work. I need to contact the guild leader and ask him to increase the limit on my corporate card.’

If we were pushed here Seong Su-ho could have been taken away right before our eyes.

Moreover a conversation was going on right before his eyes that gave further grounds to Lio Xing’s anxiety.

“…Anyway thank you so much for coming in person. “You must be busy but please make time for me.”

“The guy who has been chewing on the busy man’s contacts speaks well.”

“Oh I’m really sorry about that. “There have been so many guild membership messages these days that I haven’t looked at them all.”

“What happened? “I heard you’re building your career to start a separate guild these days anyway?”

“How did you know?”

“…I found out by chance. “This floor is originally narrow.”

It was Lim Tae-gyu who slowly changed his mind with a nervous expression.

The guild that I bought because of the Vice President Lee Min-seong incident was in a difficult situation these days.

Not only was it a problem that their image plummeted in one fell swoop but they were also experiencing financial difficulties.

Even Lim Tae-gyu’s personal expenses were used up to pay death compensation to the bereaved families of the hunters who died during the incident so they ran out of money.

He did everything he could but there was no way his image could easily be restored once it had fallen into ruin.

‘…So I tried to recruit this guy somehow.’

In a situation where we have lost many hunters and are in urgent need of manpower replenishment it is natural that we are missing a useful talent like Suho.

But there was no way to bring in someone who wanted to start a guild himself.

‘furthermore….’

Lim Tae-gyu who stared at Su-ho’s face with complicated gaze for a moment opened his mouth.

“Anyway so what are you going to buy today?”

“A bow. “You are the most expert in archery in our country.”

“That’s natural.”

“…bow?!”

Lio Xing was greatly embarrassed by the conversation between the two.

‘This is crazy! ‘I can’t believe I’m going to use the same bow as a countermeasure against hundreds of ice elves!’

The strategy is completely wrong!

Lio Xing who naturally thought that Su-ho had come to buy armor and shield hurriedly stopped him.

“Suho! There are so many ice elves! Full plate mail! “I recommend Tower Shield!”

“…There are a lot of ice elves?”

Lim Tae-gyu’s eyebrows twitched for a moment after hearing Lio Xing’s words.

Then his expression quickly became serious and he glared at Suho.

“for a moment. Are you really planning to enter the glacier dungeon right now?”

“uh? Do you know about the Glacier Dungeon?”

“Who on earth do you think I am? “I’m afraid Lim Tae-gyu doesn’t even know that much information.”

Lim Tae-gyu sighed deeply and gritted his teeth at Su-ho’s reaction.

No matter how bad the situation was Sashin Guild was still considered the best guild in Korea.

Of course he knew that much information.

“No wait. Then the reason Thomas Andre came yesterday…?”

It was only a small piece of information but Lim Tae-gyu noticed a lot with just that.

Recently rumors were circulating in the industry that Scavengers were targeting the Glacier Dungeon.

He looked at Suho with a strange expression.

“Did you know Thomas Andre?”

“no. “I first found out about it yesterday.”

“What the heck… no I don’t know what else to do but Scavengers should never go in there. “They are ignorant.”

“I’m not going in. “It just so happened that we ended up going into the dungeon together just this once.”

“Then I’m glad. But why do you want to buy a bow to go to the glacier dungeon? “If you’re dealing with hundreds of archers you definitely need big sturdy armor right?”

“that’s right! armor! shield! Buy a tower shield!”

Even Lio Xing joined in to try to change Suho’s mind.

But Suho’s mind was already made up.

The defense was already sufficient.

Even if you didn’t have a shield there were plenty of ways to block arrows.

And above all….

‘Of course it’s attack rather than defense.’

It suited his temperament to attack first rather than stand still and block attacks.

However Lim Tae-gyu and Rio Xing who did not know Su-ho’s true feelings walked behind Su-ho as he entered the bow store and nagged him.

“okay. Aside from the shield why the bow? You are originally a swordsman. “It’s not like there are no archers in the Scavenger Guild.”

“that’s right. Suho originally uses dual swords. “It’s asura.”

“Yes Suho. I think you are completely mistaken but a bow is not an easy weapon to use. know?”

Lim Tae-gyu who is recognized by everyone as the best archer in Korea could not allow a beginner like Su-ho to think that bowing is easy.

“Anyway people are mistaking the image of archers because of the games that have come out these days but the truth is that there is no occupation that requires as much strength as archers. The higher the attack power the bigger and heavier the bowstring is so it’s difficult to pull the bowstring… Huh?”

Stand tall.

The reason why Lim Tae-gyu’s nagging which seemed to go on forever suddenly stopped.

That was because Suho happened to pick up the largest and heaviest bow in the store.

[Strength: 115]

Jjoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh

Suho was very lightly pulling the bowstring made of the beast’s tendons.

“…?”

“…?”

“Mister can you please see if this is a good bow? Why are you looking at me like that?”

When Tae-gyu Lim made eye contact with Su-ho he cleared his throat with an embarrassed expression.

“Wow the power is good. But your horsepower level was C-level right? “Are you sure it’s C-level?”

Lim Tae-gyu who recalled Su-ho’s battle that he had personally seen looked at Su-ho with a slightly suspicious expression.

“Have you had a re-measurement since then? No even if you roughly call it class B. “Do you have archer skills in the first place?”

“I don’t have any.”

“what? No? “If you don’t have archer skills you’ll run out of magic quickly after just firing a few shots right?”

Tae-gyu Lim once again realized how much of a rookie and rookie hunter Su-ho was and tapped his forehead.

If I forcibly condensed magical energy to create an arrow without any archer skills the mana efficiency for a single arrow was very poor.

Compared to ordinary archer hunters magic power is consumed at least 3 to 10 times more.

Suho shrugged his shoulders at his question.

“Well there is a way….”

It was then.

As he spoke Suho’s expression hardened frighteningly.

─!!!!

A huge wave of magic spread out along the area.

“…!”

“…!”

At that moment all the hunters in the store almost simultaneously opened their eyes and looked in the same direction.

An enormous energy was felt far beyond that direction.

“It’s dungeon break!”

“It’s around here!”

Without anyone else speaking first urgent voices burst out from the mouths of the hunters in Euljiro.

But there was nothing to worry about.

This is Euljiro.

Perhaps because it was the place where the largest number of hunters gathered in Korea.

“Whoever catches something like this first is the owner!”

The hunters all put down the items they were trying to buy and immediately started running to the place where they felt the dungeon break.

In the midst of that clutter.

Lim Tae-gyu was looking at Su-ho who was standing next to him with a strange expression.

‘Is it my imagination?’

When everyone looks at the place where they can feel a wave of energy at the same time.

There was someone who turned his head first before anyone else.

‘…I think this guy was the fastest.’

Maybe even more than myself.
