Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 130



Episode 130

‘…is this a dream again?’

Thomas Andre was dreaming in a blue fog.

That dream was a terrible nightmare that had tormented him for his entire life.

-I am Thomas Andre! Do you really think I will break down at that level?

There he was screaming and being beaten one-sidedly.

It wasn’t a fight anymore.

‘One-sided violence’

bang! bang! bang! bang!

There was nothing he could do in the face of that terribly strong power.

No matter how hard you try to resist all that comes back is one-sided violence that cannot be resisted.

No matter how hard he tried he could never defeat this man from his nightmare.

-So I told you so.

Boom!

In my dreams he always spoke lifting his chin.

-It doesn’t matter who it is.

That cool voice.

Emotionless eyes looking down at oneself from too high a place.

I couldn’t remember that face but those eyes were so clearly engraved in my mind that I would tremble even if I woke up from a nightmare.

Because in front of those eyes he was just a ‘weak’.

Thomas Andre always didn’t understand the dream.

Who are you?

UFC unlimited weight champion.

The devil in the ring who holds the title of humanity’s strongest.

He is an absolute powerhouse who has never experienced a single defeat until his retirement.

He was a tyrant who always looked down on his opponents with them kneeling at his feet.

‘That’s me Thomas Andre.’

but.

‘Why on earth….’

Thomas Andre continues to have recurring dreams of himself being defeated and has never been able to truly think of himself as strong.

No rather…

-I am weak.

This is the true heart of Thomas Andre.

If the world knew that he was living with these thoughts they would surely scoff.

It would be dismissed as humility or deception.

But surprisingly this was his real sincerity.

-I am weak.

Thomas Andre truly thought he was weak.

No matter how much you train your body and hone your skills…

Even though he kept getting stronger and stronger he soon reached the top and put everyone at his feet.

-I am weak. still.

No matter how much he trained and became stronger he was always thirsty.

I was anxious and nervous.

Even though it is clear that there is no one in the world who can beat him.

The fact that he was still weak was engraved in his mind like an obsession.

Even after awakening to an S-class hunter this obsession did not change.

A monster with power beyond recognition called Hunter.

Even now that I have become the strongest monster among those monsters called S-class.

‘Why on earth!’

He was still just nervous.

‘Why am I so weak!’

Thomas himself could not understand his obsession.

‘Who on earth is that man?!’

The man in your nightmares that you dream about whenever you forget it.

Even though it was only a dream the presence of the man that he could not overcome continued to torment him.

How absurd is this.

A human who is said to have awakened to become an S-class hunter the pinnacle of humanity is swayed by a mere dream.

‘She might know something.’

Finally unable to bear it he went to his old friend Mrs. Norma Sellner and complained.

He believed that she a renowned sorcerer and prophetess would be able to provide some answers to his dreams.

However Norma Sellner’s answer confused him even more.

She said looking at herself with a slightly pitiful look.

-Thomas What you feel comes from emptiness.

-What do you mean?

-You feel empty because what was filling your bowl is gone.

-So what on earth does that mean?

Prophets have always been like this.

No matter how frustrated I was and tried to inquire all I got was a series of Zen questions that were impossible to interpret.

But thanks to her I realized one thing for sure.

That your bowl is clearly empty.

The fact that he has pursued strength his whole life to fill the emptiness that resulted from it.

and.

While entering the glacier dungeon and fighting against demonic beasts that suddenly attacked.

Like clothes getting wet in a light rain.

Without even realizing it.

-The empty space has been filled.

‘okay! ‘This is it!’

Thomas Andre realized at that moment.

That something you have been longing for your whole life is filling you up!

‘Is this true power!’

Finally the puzzle that was missing was solved.

‘I am! Thomas André!’

[…now! Perfect!]

Wow!

Thomas Andre who had been struggling in a dream opened his eyes.

And he instinctively realized the true nature of his power.

[Italim! Give me strength!]

That ‘instinct’ guided his body and his mind naturally.

And I will directly remind those weak humans who fearlessly attack their own great power and realize what true fear is!

――――――!

He fully opened up the power that was packed inside him.

And started destroying everything in sight.

In front of that absolute power the soldiers made up of black shadows who rushed to stop him melted helplessly.

however.

The small human with a weak but eerie energy rushed towards him without stopping crossing the soldiers made up of black shadows.

[Kaaaaaa!]

Thomas Andre roared and radiated strength.

However even in the face of that overwhelming power the small human did not back down glaring at himself with burning eyes and muttering.

“Esil.”

The voice reached Esil who was with the scavenger hunters.

“Come in.”

Shwaaaaagh!

[Volkan’s horn feasts on the devil’s soul.]

At that moment Esil’s spiritual body transformed Volkan’s two horns and made two horns grow on the guardian’s head.

[Equip ‘Item: Volkan’s Horn’.]

[‘Buff: Desire for Destruction’ is applied increasing physical damage by 300%.]

“Go with full power.”

[Use ‘Skill: Grassland Wind’.]

[Movement speed temporarily increases by 30%.]

[Attack speed temporarily increases by 30%.]

[Use ‘Skill: Giant’s Armor’.]

Shuwaaaa!

Suho’s silver hair flutters in the cool breeze blowing through the snowstorm.

Thomas Andre Ani Suho’s body running towards the ice dragon began to grow bigger with each step.

and.

[Use ‘Skill: Rigid Body Technique.’]

A black air current wrapped around both arms.

Suho gathered all his strength and slammed into the Ice Dragon’s huge body.

Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

[How dare you!]

Thomas André was furious.

Why would you try to fight yourself with force!

[Are you trying to compete with this ‘me’?]

It was absurd.

Who would have thought that this Thomas Andre would look funny to this kid.

[Do you think you can fight me!]

Ku-kwa-kwang!

In response to his will the ice dragon struck Suho’s body with tremendous force.

And just as he was about to crush him by pressing down on him.

Suho’s eyes as he received the power from below shone.

‘The power of the ruler!’

Shwaaak!

At that moment the black air current in Suho’s arm stretched forward.

and.

Thump-!

[…!]

invisible hand.

Suho has had it since level 1.

According to Ver the ‘power of the ruler’ which he had been able to use skillfully since he was a toddler struck one of the ice dragon’s legs from the side.

Then.

Kwasik!

Damn it!

The ice dragon’s leg bent to the side and broke.

At that moment the ice dragon leaned to one side unable to bear its own heavy weight.

And piggybacking.

Wow!

Suho used his massive weight to throw the ice dragon with all his might.

And shouted.

“mother!”

now…!

At that moment Cha Hae-in raised his eyes.

“okay.”

And he fired the ‘Sword of Light’ with all his might at one point.

The goal is Thomas Andre!

Flash!

[It’s laughable!]

Blue ghosts exploded from the eyes of Thomas Andre who roared as he looked straight at that dazzling flash of light.

Quaoooo!

The ice dragon covered its body with its two wings and blocked the flying sword of light with all its might.

Kwajijijijik!

Although the light flew through the thick ice.

At the center of that power Cha Hae-in gritted his teeth.

‘It was shallow again!’

It was difficult to deal with just one Thomas Andre but his presence was protected by huge ice.

But this will be enough.

In his son Suho’s plan!

“arrive.”

While the ice dragon was thrown over and thrown back even holding up the sword of light he was pushed back.

Before we knew it the ‘Spring of Echo Forest’ had arrived behind it.

with a splash!

The moment the ice dragon’s hind legs step on the steaming hot spring water.

―――――――!

The numerous ice spirits that made up the ice dragon became disgusted and began to scatter in all directions.

[Pfft! What is this…!]

When the ice dragon’s body suddenly began to melt and disappear at a rapid rate the figure of Thomas Andre inside it was finally revealed.

A look of confusion was evident on his face but that was all.

[You guys are so clever!]

The block of ice surrounding him disappeared but Thomas Andre’s power within it remained the same.

No he was far stronger than ever!

[Khaha! Okay what should I do now? Do you dare to fight against me with S-class hunters and small children who have lost all their strength!]

Thomas Andre smiled arrogantly and got down in front of the hot springs.

And immediately released his power.

[enforce!]

Strengthening skills.

This power was one of the basic skills used by many tanks but the moment this skill was unleashed on Thomas Andre.

Truly true horror is about to descend upon this land.

but.

The moment he arrived here all of Suho’s plans were almost complete.

From the beginning Suho asked the Lord of the Cold the king of the Yetis one thing.

‘Does the effect of Echo Forest spring water also work on monarchs?’

There are three ingredients for the Divine Water of Life.

The purified blood of the Demon King.

A fragment of the World Tree.

And the spring water of the Echo Forest.

I didn’t know what the fragment of the World Tree was but I knew exactly about the performance of the spring water in the Echo Forest.

If the spring water of the Echo Forest is enough to purify the ‘blood of the demon lord’ what effect will it have on the ‘Apostle of Itarim’ who is currently suppressing the spirit of Thomas Andre?

Suho recalled something he once heard from Ber.

The ‘god’ of our dimension was also ‘Italim’ and the beings that that god created by splitting light and darkness were the rulers and monarchs.

then.

What about the ‘Apostles’ created by other Itarim?

‘What if the apostles of Itarim are also similar to rulers or monarchs?’

“What would happen if I used the spring water from the Echo Forest on that Apostle of Italim?”

To Suho’s question Silad the Lord of the Cold gave an accurate answer.

[The King of the Yetis Lord of the Cold nods with an evil smile.]

[The King of the Yetis Lord of Cold activates ‘Sanctuary: Spring of Echo Forest.’]

Damn it!

[…!]

At that moment the steam floating above the hot springs froze all at once and grabbed Thomas Andre.

[Keep doing your tricks!]

Quad deuk!

Thomas Andre shook off the frost surrounding his entire body as if it were nothing else.

But even that frost was ‘the spring water of the 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.

[…?!]

Thomas Andre who had suddenly soaked his body with spring water from the Echo Forest opened his eyes wide.

Then suddenly his body trembled and he arched his back in pain.

[Keuak?! What have you done to me…!]

“purification.”

The answer came out of the mouth of Sirka who followed behind just in time.

Sirka muttered as she watched the forest spirits scattering away from the hot springs.

“This spiritual spring will awaken the mind that has been possessed by evil spirits. That’s why this hot spring exists deep in the sanctuary.”

[Wow! How dare you! Are you comparing me to a mere spirit…!]

Of course the apostles of Itarim would be far superior to mere spirits.

However the spring water of this Echo Forest is the sanctuary of the ‘Lord of Cold’ a being on par with the apostles of Italim.

Because it was spiritual water that could purify even the blood of a demon lord…

Sigh!

In the end the blue ghost couldn’t hold on and flew out from Thomas Andre’s body.

That moment.

Gulp.

Cha Hae-in’s strength returned after drinking the mana potion from Su-ho.

“Is that guy the real person?”

Cha Hae-in raised his entire body’s magical power and glared at the ‘Apostle of Italim’ floating in the air.

And now…

Thomas Andre who had come back to his senses also raised his head and was glaring at the Apostle of Itarim.

“How dare that crazy bastard cross me?”

Quad deuk.

Grinding your teeth with an angry expression on your face.
