Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 126



Episode 126

Same time.

Huwaaaaaaaaaaa!

[Oh my!]

Ber’s antennae next to Suho twitched and urgently looked back at Suho and shouted.

[Solord! Suddenly the forest is shaking!]

At the same time a huge magical storm blew in from deep in the forest.

Guardian’s shadow soldiers were thrown back by a shock wave that was on a different level from the previous snowstorm.

Suho quickly evacuated the remaining shadow soldiers except for the shadow minotaur into his shadow and shouted.

“Mino! Tau!”

[Mmmuuu-!]

At Suho’s command Mino and Tau each hugged Suho and Sirka with one arm and slammed their opposite fists into the floor.

Boom!

Mino and Tau’s strong forearms were buried deep beneath the snow-covered ground like the roots of an old tree.

Thanks to that Suho and Sirka barely survived being swept away by the magic storm and Suho glared beyond the blizzard with narrowed eyes.

“What’s happening all of a sudden?”

[It seems like a clash of great power occurred in the distance!]

Ber answered clinging to Suho’s head and glaring at the same spot.

“Even the spirits are panicking!”

As Sirka said it seemed to have nothing to do with the spirits of the Echo Forest.

But the problem was that this storm was not a one-time event but an ongoing one.

I was already in a hectic mood due to the blizzard but with this added to the situation moving forward itself became difficult.

However Suho had no intention of stopping the advance.

“Maybe there is a mother beyond this storm.”

[I think so too.]

“It goes through like this.”

[Mmmuuu!]

[Moooooo!]

At Suho’s resolute will Mino and Tau roared and raised their whole body’s strength.

Then holding Suho and Sirka in his arms he laid down flat on the floor and began to crawl forward at great strides.

Although the speed was slow thanks to this magical storm the attacks of the spirits stopped for a while so the movement itself felt easier.

I continued to go through the magic storm like that.

Suddenly Sirka sniffed.

“Suho is there something strange smelling nearby?”

“What smell?”

“I don’t know. This is my first time coming here too. But… it’s a smell that somehow gives me a sense of warmth.”

“Warm smell? “What kind of expression is that?”

A warm smell?

Suho was skeptical at first but soon realized that it might not be nonsense.

Ice elves are completely different from humans.

It might be that he was feeling something that humans cannot feel.

As his thoughts reached that point something suddenly occurred to Suho’s mind.

A quest that arrived as soon as we arrived at the village of ice elves.

[Quest: Spring of Echo Forest]

A mysterious spring is hidden somewhere in the Echo Forest.

Find the spring and claim your reward.

‘…I was ignoring it because I wanted to find my mother first.’

Suho hadn’t been paying much attention since receiving the quest.

The purpose of coming to the Glacier Dungeon was to find clues about my mother.

There was no time to waste on a quest that I didn’t even know how long it would take.

‘In this cold everything including the spring water must have frozen. How are you supposed to find it if it’s covered in snow?’

however.

‘What if the spring water didn’t freeze even in this cold?’

Warm smell.

The things that can provide warmth in this cold are quite limited.

‘Ten thousand.’

Or hot springs.

If it was a thermal spring formed from hot groundwater it was clear that it would not freeze even in this cold and would exist as spring water.

“What direction is that warm smell coming from?”

“Where? Umm just a moment. “I’m not sure because it’s a smell mixed in with this magical storm but…”

At Suho’s question Sirka frowned and continued to sniff.

“I can’t tell the distance but I’m sure it’s in the direction we’re going.”

“okay? “If we keep going in the same direction we will meet.”

Suho who was willing to boldly ignore the quest even if the direction was slightly different nodded.

And after a while.

A hot spring appeared before Suho’s eyes.

The sight of the hot springs steaming up in this bitter cold was a mysterious and extremely beautiful sight in itself.

Moreover strangely enough as I got closer to the hot spring the magical storm that was fluttering like crazy seemed to have weakened a little.

“There was a real hot spring.”

However Suho’s reaction upon discovering the hot spring was calm.

I was on my way to find my mother on a quest or something so it wasn’t a situation where I could leisurely visit hot springs or something like this.

‘Plus the quest difficulty is so easy that I have no expectations about the reward itself.’

Wasn’t that the case just looking at this Kasaka quest?

If the quest difficulty was too easy the rewards didn’t seem to help much.

However unlike Suho’s reaction Sirka’s expression when she discovered the hot springs in the Echo Forest was filled with astonishment.

“oh my god! This place…!”

Sirka could not help but be surprised when she realized the identity of the energy felt in the hot spring.

“I can feel Silad’s energy here! Could this be Mr. Silad’s…?!”

“Shillard? “Who is that?”

At Suho’s question Sirka swallowed dry saliva and looked at Suho’s face with a serious expression.

“…Silad the King of the Yetis and the Lord of the Cold.”

“…!”

[Kiek?]

“It seems like this is the place where our now-dead king stayed.”

Suho and Ber looked at each other with wide eyes at Sirka’s answer.

Now that I think about it this Echo Forest is the sanctuary of the ice elves.

It would not be strange for a place to be associated with the Lord of the Cold the king of the Yetis.

* * *

Tiring!

[‘Item: Spring Water of Echo Forest’ has been acquired.]

[You have completed the quest.]

The quest was completed the moment Suho purchased an empty potion bottle from a store window and filled it with hot spring water.

For some reason it occurred to me that the quest was too easy these days but when I thought about it again this quest was definitely not easy.

Wandering around this terrible place aimlessly looking for a spring of water whose location I don’t even know where it is.

Isn’t that why Suho didn’t even care about this quest from the beginning?

[Quest completion reward has arrived.]

[Do you want to check your reward?] (Y/N)

Before checking the reward Suho first checked the information on ‘Item: Spring Water of Echo Forest’.

[Item: Spring Water of Echo Forest]

Difficulty of acquisition: ??

Type: Consumables

This is the mysterious spring water of the Echo Forest.

Drinking it or applying it to the body has the effect of neutralizing toxicity.

“Aha it’s some kind of detox potion.”

It was said to be mystical spring water and seemed to have the effect of neutralizing toxins.

It was strange but a guardian with the protection of plague had this decoding ability but it was mana.

However that thought changed 180 degrees the moment I checked the quest reward.

[The following rewards are available.]

Reward: ‘Runestone: Crafting the Divine Beast of Life’

“hmm? “It’s a skill that creates the Divine Beast of Life?”

Even from the name something unusual emerged from the skill.

And Ver who knew exactly what the name meant looked very surprised and said

[Solord! The divine beast of life is…!]

Sometimes it is much easier to see item information directly rather than a description.

While listening to Ber’s explanation Suho broke the rune stone and acquired the skill.

Tiring.

[‘Item: Divine Beast of Life’ production skill has been acquired.]

Then a [Production Skill] box appeared at the very end of Suho’s skill window.

[Production Skill]

Consumables: Divine Beast of Life (1/3)

As Suho’s eyes looked at the ‘Divine Beast of Life’ an explanation for it came to mind.

[Item: Divine Beast of Life]

Difficulty of acquisition: S

Type: Consumables

It is a mysterious potion that cures all diseases with strong magical power.

The full effect is only apparent when the entire bottle is used.

“It cures all diseases?!”

[That’s right. The Divine Beast of Life is a legendary elixir that is completely different from simple healing potions.]

Ber who watched Suho’s eyes widen nodded in agreement next to him.

Suho’s expression who had not had high expectations for this quest became quite serious.

Of course it had to be that way.

When healers first emerged after the cataclysm the world’s attention was focused on those healers.

How amazing is this skill to be able to restore others?

People went crazy over its amazing ability which far surpassed the level of modern medicine.

But unfortunately the healers’ healing skills were not omnipotent.

Excellent healers could even treat wounds that could be considered fatal but there were very few healers who were capable of such treatment.

Also no matter how good a healer he was even if he was an S-class healer there were limitations.

“But this cures all diseases so it’s literally an elixir of eternal life right? Ah isn’t it ‘eternal fire’?”

[Something like elixir is a truly useless ability. Rather when you die you can become a shadow soldier….]

“Anyway I need to pack as much of this as possible. But what are the other ingredients?”

Suho immediately checked the ingredients of the Divine Beast of Life.

[Divine Beast of Life]

-ingredient

Purified Blood of the Demon King (0/1)

Fragment of the World Tree (0/1)

Echo Forest Spring (1/1)

“Purified blood of the Demon King? A fragment of the World Tree?”

Suho who checked the ridiculous names of ingredients made a bewildered expression.

Now I see that Echo Forest’s spring water was the easiest ingredient to obtain.

I don’t even know where the World Tree grows.

Besides doesn’t the term “Demon King” mean the lord of demons?

“I heard the Demon King died a long time ago? “Where do you get this blood?”

[I have a good idea.]

For a moment Ber had a sinister expression and his eyes flashed.

[After making Eshil a demon king draw his blood.]

“Oh that will work.”

Suho nodded understanding the evil plan.

Esil was the only demon noble in existence and the only candidate for king of demons.

It was still unknown whether Esil could become the monarch’s vessel but it was certain that it was the most likely.

So now there is only one ingredient left.

“If we just find the World Tree we might be able to create the Divine Tree of Life.”

Meanwhile the shadow soldiers were already diligently pumping ‘Echo Forest spring water’ into empty potion bottles according to Guardian’s orders.

I couldn’t stay here forever and waste time so I had to hurry.

But while Suho was like this.

Next to him Sirka was looking around in amazement at the energy of the Lord of the Cold that could be felt in the hot spring.

Then at some point.

“….”

Sirka’s eyes became hazy and lost focus.

Their expressions were similar to those of ice elves possessed by the spirits of the Echo Forest and as if truly possessed Sirka slowly began to approach the hot springs.

Suho who discovered the scene a little too late called Sirka.

“What are you doing? “If you get wet it will only get colder later…”

with a splash.

It’s already too late.

The moment Sirka soaked her feet in the steamy hot spring.

Huwaaaaaaaaaaa!

Suddenly a tremendous amount of light began to emanate from Sirka’s body.
