Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 116



Episode 116

Gulp. Gulp.

Sticky liquid continued to flow down Suho’s throat.

The taste was unpleasant and fishy ​​but it was still edible.

‘After all I haven’t tried this kind of poison once or twice.’

While Suho was wiping away every drop of Kasaka’s poison.

In the guardian’s body Queresha’s ‘Blessing of Plague’ and Candiaru’s blessing ‘Healthy Longevity’ were being steadily activated.

Tiring.

[Harmful ingredients have been detected.]

[Treatment begins with the effect of ‘Buff: Detox.’]

[3 2 1… Decryption is complete.]

[‘Side effect: Damaged muscles’ disappears.]

First the fatal side effects of ‘Kasaka’s poison’ were completely eliminated.

Tiring.

[Effect ‘Kasaka’s Iron Scale’: Physical damage is reduced by 20%.]

Now only the positive buff effect without the side effects is left intact increasing Suho’s defense.

In addition Suho’s tenacity skill has recently been increasing defense by +100% so when combined the defense is up to a whopping +120%.

At this level Suho has now become a tank that will never be defeated.

But more than that what Suho was most excited about was that Kasaka’s poison itself could be used in attacks.

[Debuff: Kasaka’s Poison]

A poison that damages the muscles of the poisoned target weakening their strength by -35.

Damaging muscles literally means weakening the opponent’s overall strength and speed.

It was as if he had obtained a debuff of a much more powerful level than the ‘paralysis poison’ that had only slowed movement.

‘I’m sure this will help right?’

Suho immediately summoned Quay.

“Quay.”

[Yes Master.]

“From now on fight with Kasaka’s poison in all your attacks.”

[All right.]

Wow.

At that command ‘Debuff: Kasaka’s Poison’ seeped into the tip of Quay’s spear.

‘It would be effective to shoot Quay with an arrow first like today and give the opponent a debuff with Kasaka’s poison before starting the battle.’

Of course quite a few of them will be sorted out in Quasun like today.

‘I unexpectedly gained a great ability.’

It was Suho who nodded with a satisfied expression.

While Suho was confirming the compensation the post-processing of the Euljiro incident was also being smoothly organized.

As the demonic beasts were annihilated the swamp area gradually decreased in size and then disappeared.

From the moment safety was secured reporters crowded in and began reporting on the urgent situation to the media.

Of course it was always the responsibility of the association hunters to resolve this hectic situation.

“This is reporter Oh Seok-hoon of Hunter Daily! “What kind of hunter’s skill was that black arrow that suddenly flew out of the sky?”

“Those two arrows actually hunt down the boss mob and end the whole situation…!”

“No wait a minute. Please ask questions one by one…”

Team leader Han Jae-hyuk was crying surrounded by numerous reporters’ microphones.

‘Now is not the time for me to be like this.’

They were surrounded by reporters as they had to chase after Thomas Andre who suddenly disappeared.

But that didn’t mean I couldn’t just ignore what was going on and leave.

In any case they were the association’s hunters closest to Euljiro and it was the association’s job to handle this post-mortem.

Fortunately the situation was quickly suppressed and there were not many casualties so the most urgent task now was to distribute the corpses of the demonic beasts fairly.

“I caught this demon beast!”

“What nonsense! “The wound from my skill is clearly visible here!”

‘…Actually now is the most troublesome moment.’

Team leader Han Jae-hyuk felt dizzy as he saw the hunters bickering over the corpses of the demon beasts claiming they were theirs.

But strangely none of them touched the demon beasts that were killed by the two black arrows that flew in the middle.

‘The first arrow flew like a thunderbolt and killed the boss mob and the second arrow turned the entire swamp area like a siege cannon. Even if the second step is the same the problem is the first step.’

Since Team Leader Han Jae-hyuk had seen many archer hunters while working for the association he understood the meaning of the ‘first arrow’ better than anyone else.

Other hunters obviously know the meaning and do not dare to claim ownership of those killed by those arrows.

‘I changed direction in the sky accurately found the boss mob and shot it. As if the arrow had eyes.’

It made more sense if it was a guided missile.

Rather it was a method of confirming the reality in front of your eyes and then pursuing it until the end and hitting the target.

But does it fly in a parabolic curve from the sky far away then change direction like a thunderstorm to hunt down the strongest demonic beast?

‘Who was the archer hunter with this skill? It’s a skill I’ve never seen before.’

But all these questions were resolved faster than expected.

Suddenly Korea’s best archer Lim Tae-gyu appeared nearby.

“omg! “It’s Lim Tae-gyu!”

“Reaper Guild Leader!”

“ah! “For some reason I wondered who shot the arrow!”

“As expected the only archer with this level of skill is Lim Tae-gyu!”

Rumble!

“What! for a moment! “Why are you doing this?!”

Lim Tae-gyu couldn’t help but be scared as reporters suddenly flocked towards him.

“As expected you are the guild leader Lim Tae-gyu!”

“The one who shot the arrow a little while ago was Hunter Lim Tae-gyu right?!”

“Mr. Lim Tae-gyu! Please say something! “I heard that generous damages were paid to the bereaved families of this immigration risk…!”

“for a moment! for a moment! “Please ask questions one at a time!”

Even the world’s S-class hunter could not help but be embarrassed by this situation.

Lim Tae-gyu was in tears and turned his head to find Su-ho.

Then I made eye contact with Suho who was standing in a corner far away where no one could see leisurely watching him get into trouble.

‘Oh that bastard is real!’

Suho just smiled warmly and nodded towards Lim Tae-gyu.

With an obnoxious expression on his face he asked me to make up an excuse.

‘Really. Are you saying you don’t want to be revealed? What kind of mysticism is this! Kids these days are real!’

Of course on one hand I understood it.

In any case even if an incident like this received media attention the ransom price would not have increased.

Rather it only causes a lot of troublesome things.

In the end Hunter’s ransom was raised by himself even if no one knew about it.

Unless it was for the purpose of getting a job at a large guild it was a simple structure of making money by hunting demon beasts yourself.

Or you can raise your brand image and start your own guild…

‘No wait.’

Stop.

At that moment Lim Tae-gyu realized something in Su-ho’s expression looking at him.

‘Could this be for me…?’

Looking at the current situation it is the moment when you say that this is what you did.

It was clear that this was an opportunity to restore the image of the Reaper Guild which had fallen into the abyss.

This was an opportunity to let the media know that even though the Reaper Guild was criticized its leader Lim Tae-gyu was still strong.

But why?

‘Why would you do this for me…’

It was then.

Lim Tae-gyu who was just making a puzzled expression heard a voice in his ears.

[…With this I paid off my debt.]

“…!”

At that eerily familiar voice Lim Tae-gyu trembled as if he had been struck by lightning.

I quickly turned my head and looked around but the owner of the voice was nowhere to be seen.

But I was sure.

‘no way?!’

No how could you not recognize it!

It was the voice of Lee Min-seong his ugly friend who turned the Reaper’s Guild into what it is now!

“Where are you?”

Reporters around him reacted strangely as Lim Tae-gyu suddenly shouted.

But I guess that was good.

“Where are you? “Where are you?”

[….]

But he didn’t know.

His bad friend Lee Min-seong was no longer in this world.

There is only Quay who has been reborn as a shadow soldier.

And then.

Quay who was quietly looking up at the face of his old friend mixed in the shadows of countless reporters opened his mouth again.

However the content was not like an apology saying that he was sorry now.

In the first place Quay had no intention of asking for forgiveness from him.

So this is just…

Just doing what needs to be done.

[…There is a separate hidden secret ledger in the Shinigami Guild. It’s a slush fund accumulated by the dead Lee Min-seong.]

“…!”

[Anyway the money is the property of the guild that bought it so no one other than the guild leader can take it out. If you only know the account location and password…]

Lim Tae-gyu’s eyes were filled with astonishment as he suddenly discovered the hidden truth.

Quay silently gave Lim Tae-gyu the password for the secret account he had accumulated.

Repeat several times until he can memorize it.

* * *

[…Thank you Master.]

“Are you finished?”

[yes. Now there are no more regrets.]

Ver growled as he watched Quay return to Suho and bow his head politely.

[You are truly ungrateful. Instead of giving so much money to Lord So you gave it to a friend.]

[I tried to do that at first but what can I do when it’s legally impossible? That account is an account that only the guild leader or vice-guild leader of the guild that bought it can access it.]

Quay making an excuse looked at Suho with a slightly embarrassed expression.

If this was not done anyway it was blind money that would disappear into thin air without anyone knowing at the same time as Lee Min-seong’s death.

Now the guild that was purchased with that money is now able to put out urgent fires even if it is not the same as before.

therefore….

[I think I’ve done enough.]

Now I feel like I can really comfortably abandon the name Lee Min-seong.

“good job.”

Suho also nodded at Quay’s relieved expression.

at that time.

Slurp.

Quay and Ver returned to Suho’s shadow.

At that moment Thomas Andre was trudging towards Suho from a distance.

Thomas like Lim Tae-gyu seemed to have finally been freed from dealing with annoying reporters.

“So are you ready now?”

When Thomas Andre first asked Suho nodded solemnly.

“yes.”

One corner of Thomas Andre’s mouth turned up as if he really liked that cool answer.

“Departure is tomorrow morning.”

Thomas Andre leaves those words and immediately turns around and heads back to where Laura is.

A determined light appeared in Suho’s eyes as he looked at that huge back.

‘tomorrow.’

It’s finally tomorrow.

To find my missing mother.

‘To the glacier dungeon.’

It was then.

“Suho.”

Lim Tae-gyu shook off the reporters and approached Su-ho to talk to him.

“Let me ask you just one question.”

“yes?”

“In that glacier dungeon… are you the only one going in? Or are your colleagues going with you?”

“A colleague?”

“okay. “Those who want to form a guild with you.”

Suho looked puzzled by the unexpected question and then lost himself in thought for a moment.

Of course Esil would follow but Lim Do-gyun was a bit uncertain whether to say he was going in with him.

Do-gyun Lim has been living in his own shadow these days as he is busy receiving training from Ammut.

So when Su-ho entered the glacier dungeon Lim Do-gyun who was in the shadow also went with him.

“hmm. “For now let’s go in together.”

“Okay. Is that so? …Well Thomas André is going with me so it’ll be okay.”

“…?”

Lim Tae-gyu who was muttering to himself with a distraught expression scratched his head and nodded.

“Well have a nice trip. “If my colleagues are in danger I will protect them.”

“That’s the obvious thing to say….”

hmm?

Suho’s eyes widened as he felt a strange sense of déjà vu.

Someone’s face appeared overlapping with Lim Tae-gyu’s embarrassed face.

‘for a moment. no way?’

“Uncle could it be…”

The moment when Suho was about to ask something.

Lim Tae-gyu was the first to speak interrupting his sentence.

“Oh and I just received an unexpected amount of free money.”

“…?”

“I have a ‘bow’ that I was originally thinking of selling to raise some money? “I’ll lend it to you so use it in the glacier dungeon and return it to me.”

“…A bow?”
