Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 127



Episode 127

It was truly a wondrous sight.

Suddenly the hot spring water of the Echo Forest began to swirl around Sirka’s toes and soon surged around Sirka’s entire body.

Kuwaa-

At that moment the hot steam of the hot spring and the bitter cold intertwined and resonated with each other.

Damn it!

The cloudy steam rising above the hot springs centered on Sirka instantly turned into pure white frost and froze.

It was an amazing moment as if the entire world had frozen.

…It was actually like that.

Tiring.

[‘Yeti’s Sanctuary’ is activated.]

At that moment a message appeared in front of Suho.

[Passive skill ‘(Unknown)’ is activated.]

Time froze.

* * *

A world of complete blankness.

Suho stood alone at the end of the empty horizon.

‘…Here we are again.’

Suho calmly looked around.

And he found the being who had called him here.

‘I found it.’

The end of the empty horizon.

Beyond it an old and shabby ice elf was sitting quietly.

Suho took a step and slowly approached him.

‘Did you call me?’

[….]

When Suho spoke first the old ice elf’s head slowly lifted.

What was then revealed was his old and worn-out expression and exhausted empty eyes.

[The Lord of the Cold the King of the Yetis is watching you.]

At the system message that appeared just in time Suho was convinced of his identity and nodded.

‘As expected you are Silad the king of the Yetis and the Lord of the Cold.’

[….]

However even when Suho spoke there was no response from Silad.

He just stared at Suho with a tired look.

‘what?’

Suho felt puzzled by the atmosphere which was so different from the other monarchs he had met so far.

Suddenly I remembered the moments when I faced other monarchs.

Even though the Fang Lord the king of beasts was dead he still radiated the power of a king from his whole body.

The Lord of Plague the king of insects also burned with revenge until his death attacking himself with numerous poisonous insects.

But what can I say about the Monarch of the Cold Sitting in front of me…

He was just a shabby old man who was old and tired.

[…okay. Are you his son?]

Silad the Lord of the Cold who had been looking at Suho’s face like that for a while finally opened his mouth.

[What an amazing talent. You rescued my soul from wandering the sea of ​​the afterlife. Should we really say that he is the son of the Shadow Lord?]

‘The sea after death?’

[Don’t you know? It is a place where the dead go when they die. So what is the importance of this expression?…]

Silad looked up at the empty sky with a regretful expression.

Of course there was nothing visible above it.

nothing.

[…It is a truly rare experience to open your eyes in a world of nothingness. Click.]

A self-mocking smile appeared on Szilard’s lips.

[okay. Death is such a futile thing. Why did I struggle so much when I knew it would end like this anyway?]

‘….’

Suho silently watched him complaining like a crazy person without making eye contact with him.

[Do you know what? It may be different for other monarchs but I actually fought because I didn’t want to die. The darkness inside me constantly whispered to me to destroy everything but I knew that the only end would be destruction.]

Whoa-

[Yes I knew I would be like this someday.]

He sat down and let out a quiet sigh.

Then the pure white steam that flowed from its mouth turned into frost and created a mirage in the air.

Then countless illusions of ice elves appeared before Suho and Silad.

[Do you know? We have been forced into war from the moment we were born. From the beginning until now and perhaps forever. That’s why God created us.]

Wow!

In the mirage illusion the ice elves were fighting.

No I was running towards certain death.

And among them…

There was also ‘Shillard’.

[Do you know what? At the end of the war we ‘almost’ won. I also killed your father with my own hands.]

‘…!’

At that moment Suho’s eyes opened wide.

The appearance of a young man reflected in a mirage.

The identity of the man who looked so much like him was clearly his father Seong Jin-woo.

and….

Phew!

[I drove the knife straight into your father’s heart with my own hands.]

In the fantasy Silad was stabbing a frozen blade into Seong Jin-woo’s heart.

‘father…?!’

When Suho saw that his eyes widened.

[The King of the Yetis Lord of the Cold uses ‘Skill: Echo.’]

At that moment the conversations taking place in the fantasy passed by Suho’s ears like an echo on the frosty wind.

-I’ll give you back your weapon. Now can you recover like before?

Silad in the fantasy was whispering into ‘Seong Jin-woo’s’ ear.

In an extremely vicious voice.

-Are we done here human? Then you won’t be able to see it. The moment our troops arrive on this land. At that time your corpses will form mountains and your blood will form rivers.

Silad was pouring out a terrible curse on Seong Jin-woo who was dying after being stabbed in the heart.

-But this country where you were born and raised will be different. I will personally freeze all humans on this earth and make them suffer forever. They will live for an infinite number of years neither alive nor dead.

[…hate me endlessly in death.]

At some point Szilard’s voice in the echo and Szilard’s voice here were heard overlapping.

-That will also be my pleasure.

[That will also be my pleasure.]

Passyuk.

And at that moment Seong Jin-woo’s crumbling body shattered and scattered into ice powder.

Silad who was sitting looking at the ice powder in vain looked at Su-ho with an incomprehensible expression.

[Did you see it? I murdered your father with the greatest cruelty and planned to curse all lives related to your father. The reason is also the same. Only so that I don’t die.]

Silad did not bother to show Suho what happened next.

Afterwards Seong Jin-Woo was resurrected and it was revealed that it was Szilard himself who lost his life in the war.

What does it matter in the first place?

The fact that you are here right now proves all the results.

‘…Why are you showing me this?’

Suho’s eyes were boiling like hot flames as he watched his father fall apart.

His fists were tense as if he was going to rush at the shield in front of him at any moment but he didn’t act rashly.

I don’t know if that vision was real or a lie but either way my father was still alive at this point.

Rather it was Szilard who was here now dead.

So it was even more confusing.

Why is Szilard showing himself this illusion?

Why are you provoking yourself like this?

[…So the moment when my mind suddenly woke up in the sea of ​​​​the afterlife and I realized that it was the Shadow Lord’s son who had woken me up.]

At that moment an extremely cold murderous look passed through Silad’s eyes which had been empty until now.

[I was planning to kill you right away.]

That handful of life gave me goosebumps as if the bitter cold had been extremely compressed.

[I don’t know how far my power will extend to you but I was planning to somehow drag your soul into the sea of ​​the afterlife where I was. but.]

…I couldn’t do that.

Because Suho wasn’t the only one who woke him up.

Ice Elf Sirka.

Sirka the guardian of the Baruka tribe.

Szilard was curious.

Who is the heir who discovered the monarch’s sanctuary hidden in the Echo Forest?

To determine whether or not he is truly a vessel to pass on his power.

He took control of Shiraka’s body and read the memories contained within it.

And I sincerely regretted it.

[…I shouldn’t have seen it.]

Szilard watched.

What happened in this land after the war that Sirka personally experienced.

Haaa-

At that moment Silad’s sigh created the illusion of frost again.

In that fantasy…

Surprisingly there was Cha Hae-in Su-ho’s mother.

‘mother….’

Suho also saw the vision.

In that fantasy Cha Hae-in….

He was with the ice elves who survived the war.

He was protecting the young and weak children and bringing smiles to their faces that were as frozen as the bitter cold.

Just like a mother.

[…She was like a mother.]

Only then did Suho realize the identity of the expression on Szilard’s face.

Even at the moment when Silad plunged the knife into Seong Jin-woo’s heart he cursed.

-I will personally freeze all humans on this earth and make them suffer forever. They will live for an infinite number of years neither alive nor dead.

– Hate me endlessly in death. That too will be my pleasure.

Szilard who had said so confidently was actually sitting here dead.

And the tribes that survived after losing the war…

Who would have thought that he was being cared for by the wife of Seong Jin-woo the winner of the war.

Moreover the expressions of the ice elves being cared for by Cha Hae-in were filled with bright smiles without a single wrinkle.

Pfft.

At that moment Silad frowned with an extremely humiliated expression.

Ironically their bright expressions were warm smiles that he their king and monarch had never seen before.

That was natural.

To him they were just words on a battlefield that would last forever.

From the beginning they were beings created just for that purpose.

however.

[You mean you could make an expression like that?]

He sighed and looked back at Suho.

[Yes you guys won. I admit that I was ultimately defeated even in death.]

Before I knew it tears were leaking from Szilard’s eyes who had a humiliated expression on his face.

[Now rather than hating you in death I have come to feel endless gratitude to you. But even this humiliation… I’m just grateful.]

okay.

I was extremely grateful.

To the point of tears.

Szilard who had been sitting the entire time slowly stood up.

[Son of the Shadow Lord.]

Whoa!

Then the monarch’s energy slowly rippling from his aging body filled the empty world.

[The Lord of the Cold the King of the Yetis is watching you.]

That extremely arrogant gaze landed on Suho.

[Let me ask you one favor. This is the cowardly and servile will of a monarch who was defeated in war and it will be my last regret left on this earth.]

‘….’

[Please… thank your mother on my behalf.]

okay.

That’s all.

[And just as your mother took care of my children from now on I will also protect you.]

Shaaaa-

At that moment the frost energy that filled this empty world blessed Suho.

Tiring.

[‘Blessing: Protection of the Cold’ is applied.]

At that moment Suho’s frozen time began to move again.

The last voice of Silad the Lord of the Cold who was fading away reached Suho.

[Your mother is in danger nearby. I will send you there right away.]
