Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 132



Episode 132

Gurgling! Qarring!

A storm of white flames is coming.

‘thunderbolt….’

As Suho looked up at the sky forked howling dark clouds were reflected in his eyes.

“Take care of your son.”

Cha Hae-in walked towards the center step by step with a smile on his face.

“This mother in her old days….”

No should I say past life?

I don’t know what this feels like.

It’s been a while since I met my son and I want to show him my best side.

Pajik! Puzzle!

Blue thunderbolts flowed along the blade of the grinning Cha Hae-in.

And Cha Hae-in moved.

Skill ‘Sword Dance’

-White Flame Storm

Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The flash of light fired from the tip of her sword split into hundreds of pieces and covered the entire area.

And it soon poured down like rain and hit the Apostle of Italim.

Suho looked at the scene as if fascinated.

Seeing my mother after a long time… was truly awe-inspiring.

‘Strong.’

Those were the only words I could think of to describe the scene before my eyes.

Countless thunderbolts striking the Apostle of Italim.

Yep!

Gurgling!

Every time a thunderbolt each with great power struck its gigantic body the forest shook with a massive roar.

[Wow! How dare you a lowly creature!]

The Apostle of Italim writhed in excruciating pain and waved his blue wings.

Wow!

It was not a simple flapping of wings.

A sudden strong wind tore through the air and the spirits screamed.

The strong wind carrying a bitter chill soon hit Cha Hae-in like a tidal wave with huge ice thorns reminiscent of stakes.

Disaster.

It was a disaster of a type that humans could not dare to face.

but.

Rumble!

[…!]

The Apostle of Italim widened his eyes.

The Demon King’s long sword held high by Cha Hae-in.

The thunderbolt which had been split into hundreds of pieces along the tip of the sword suddenly became a single flash of light and soared up into the sky.

and.

‘Cut.’

Skill ‘Sword of Light’

-White Flame Storm

A huge bolt of lightning turned into a sword and struck in a straight line.

One sword two extremes.

A dazzling flash split the sky engulfing the heavens and earth and immediately split the huge ice tsunami in half in half.

And the power doesn’t stop there.

Sigh!

Even the blue-winged giant was cut into pieces.

* * *

“….”

“….”

A heavy silence fell in the frozen forest.

A blue-winged giant who was completely cut in two by Cha Hae-in’s sword and died.

The gigantic corpse was gradually scattering and disappearing along with the cold snowstorm.

Extinction not death.

Because he was an apostle in a spirit state upon death he returned to nothingness without even a corpse remaining.

Suddenly Suho saw a system message floating in front of him.

[The Apostle of Italim has been defeated.]

[Your level has increased.]

[Your level has increased.]

‘Even though I didn’t do anything this time…’

Suho’s role in this battle itself was not large.

Since the contribution is small it is natural that the experience gained is low.

Despite this I leveled up twice.

This proved how strong the apostle of Italim who had just died was.

But to kill a guy like that so harshly.

Even though I saw it with my own eyes I couldn’t believe it.

Unlike himself who inherited some of his father’s power and became stronger through the protection of other monarchs.

The mother reached this level through her own abilities.

‘Is this the power of an S-class hunter?’

The thrill he felt at that moment was still flowing through Suho’s body as he watched his mother’s battle without missing a single moment.

Kuuk.

‘Someday I too….’

A determined light appeared in Suho’s eyes as he clenched his trembling fists.

However Suho was not the only one who felt such a strange feeling.

Thomas Andre narrowed his eyebrows and made an unusual expression.

[Kiek?]

Ber who noticed the change in Thomas Andre’s body narrowed his eyes.

As the Apostle of Italim disappeared part of the energy floating in the air was contained in the body of Thomas Andre.

And Suho also noticed that.

“Could it be that you leveled up like me?”

[This is not a level up. Rather it should be said that he has regained some of his lost strength.]

“Lost strength?”

[In the now-vanished timeline Thomas Andre was a ‘national power-level’ hunter who surpassed the S-class.]

Kamish Raid the first S-class gate and the worst raid on earth.

The United States succeeded in the raid that almost led to its destruction and granted the five survivors equal status as other countries as a ‘living nation’.

That became the origin of the title ‘national power level’.

However there was a secret to the strength of the first levels of national power.

It was the fact that they were vessels chosen by the rulers and given power.

Simply put the reason one of them Thomas Andre was able to be exceptionally stronger than other S-class hunters was because of the power of the ruler.

[But not now.]

The current Thomas Andre was just an ordinary S-class hunter not a national power class.

To regain everything I had to lose in the fight.

Sung Jin-Woo turns back time through ‘The Cup of Reincarnation’

This was because he endured all the pain alone and erased all traces of monarchs and rulers from this world.

As a result neither demons nor hunters existed in the new timeline.

The granting of the power of rulers to Thomas Andre and other first national power-level hunters also disappeared.

But it’s just that the container that was filled has become empty.

The vessel itself that Thomas Andre was carrying did not disappear.

This was the identity of the ‘emptiness’ that Thomas Andre felt and lived throughout his life.

[But it seems like the energy of Itarim’s apostle has flowed into that empty space. Since it is a vessel that can contain the power of the ruler it can also contain the power of the Apostles of Itarim.]

Suho who understood the situation nodded.

“It means that Thomas Andre can accept the power that other people throw away because they do not have the courage to accept it. “So your mother was also a national power level hunter?”

[Kiek?]

Ber who belatedly turned his gaze towards Cha Hae-in after hearing Su-ho’s words widened his eyes.

Like Thomas Cha Hae-in’s body was also imbued with the energy of the Apostle of Italim which was fluttering in the air.

“…What is this energy?”

[Cha Hae-in! Are you okay?]

“huh. “It’s so normal that it’s a disaster.”

Ver made a fuss and checked Cha Hae-in’s physical condition but Cha Hae-in looked fine.

The first national power-level hunters who were chosen because they originally possessed a vessel capable of containing the power of the ruler.

Unlike them if an ordinary human were to accept the power of a higher being into his body his body would not be able to withstand it and would have no choice but to disappear.

However surprisingly Cha Hae-in accepted the energy of Italim’s apostle into his body without any harm.

I couldn’t figure out how on earth this was possible.

It was then.

[The King of the Yetis the Lord of the Cold clucks his tongue saying ‘Isn’t that natural?’]

“Do you know anything Szilard?”

To Suho’s question an answer was heard from the Lord of the Cold.

[They say this is because just as the Lord of the Cold the king of the Yetis imbued other humans with the power of rulers someone similar to him had already entered her body and then came out.]

Suho was surprised by those words and asked back.

“what? Someone similar to the rulers was inside my mother? “Who is that?”

[ah.]

“ah.”

“…?”

Hearing Suho’s words Ber and Cha Haein turned their heads at the same time and looked at Suho.

Then they looked at each other again and nodded with an expression of understanding.

“huh?”

Suho looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression for a moment.

Then he suddenly realized something and pointed at himself.

“Could it be me?”

Ver nodded with confidence.

[The Little Lord is the son of the great Shadow Lord. It seems only natural that Cha Hae-in who had such an enormous being in his stomach would grow bigger.]

Cha Hae-in also nodded at those words.

She is probably the one who knows better than anyone else that her son is an unusual being.

“Well Suho was special. “It was so kicking in my stomach that I thought I was going to give birth to some kind of dinosaur.”

Cha Hae-in looked at Su-ho with warm eyes while smiling mischievously.

“After all he is my son.”

* * *

After some time.

As the gigantic body of the Apostle of Italim completely disappeared the glacier dungeon which seemed ready to collapse at any moment became as quiet as a lie.

Although the entire dimension was already almost in tatters the wounds were also healing noticeably quickly.

But there was still something uneasy.

Although Sirka was recognized as the next monarch he still lacked the courage to do so.

[The King of the Yetis Lord of the Cold clicks his tongue saying that it is not enough for Sirka to accept the darkness of the beginning.]

The darkness of the beginning was the fundamental force through which the now-dead god created the monarchs.

In order to inherit that power a vessel of that size was needed.

“Is it a bowl again? “Wherever you go you have to have a big bowl.”

“Do you need a big bowl? “I’ll go to the crockery store and buy you a crockery Suho!”

“….”

Lio Xing came up next to me and proudly took out his corporate card.

…Seeing that situation made me understand why I hadn’t been promoted in the guild until now.

Unlike Lio Sing who seemed idle the scavenger hunters were busy working under Thomas Andre’s orders.

I came to conquer the dungeon but I couldn’t go back empty-handed.

However since the atmosphere was not conducive to hunting down the ice elves living in Sirka’s village all they could do was pump out the ‘spring water of the Echo Forest’.

“Don’t spill a drop! “It’s a very effective detox potion!”

“Yes boss!”

Anyway the spring water in Echo Forest was underground so no matter how much it was poured it did not decrease.

Since this would go directly to the Scavenger Guild’s profits they were quite excited saying that their hard work was worth it.

Moreover thanks to Sirka finding the gate in the Echo Forest through which the ice spirits passed to Earth an exit to return to Earth was secured.

It was a perfect ending with no injuries thanks to Suho giving potions to the injured hunters.

‘As expected it’s just like the old lady’s prediction.’

Thomas Andre nodded recalling Norma Sellner’s prophecy that he had to unconditionally take Seongsuho to the Glacier Dungeon.

Thomas Andre who was serving his subordinates with a satisfied expression approached Suho and said.

“I plan to take this spring water and go to those who were at the level of state power and feed it to them.”

“Oh that’s a good method.”

Suho also nodded saying it was a good idea.

This time people like Thomas Andre who accepted the power of the rulers were equally likely to be targeted by Itarim’s apostles.

Moreover they will naturally become S-class hunters this time and if they side with Italim they will pose a significant threat.

If Thomas Andre had visited them and forcibly(?) fed them spring water such danger could have been prevented in advance.

There was just one worry.

“Oh by the way there might be people who are already possessed by them so be prepared… huh?”

Suho who was talking to Thomas Andre suddenly realized something and looked at his face with wide eyes.

“Why do you have those rabbit eyes?”

“Thomas you can’t believe it….”

Thomas grinned and showed his teeth at Suho’s expression.

“Yes I remembered. “Everything.”
