Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 133



Episode 133

Thomas Andre whose memories of his past life returned after accepting the godhead of the outer universe was confused in his mind.

Another self.

Memories that shouldn’t exist were mixed with current memories making me feel dizzy as if my mind was in disarray.

I didn’t know why he had come to live a new life but since he had already experienced situations where it wouldn’t be strange no matter what happened I didn’t really question it.

Rather…

‘shit! shit!’

While everything is in chaos.

This was the final feeling Thomas was left with.

chagrin.

‘It’s so unfair I’m going crazy!’

He realized the reality of the nightmare that had tormented him terribly for the past years.

The reality of that nightmare was ultimately the memory of his fight with ‘Seong Jin-woo’ which he held to dust.

‘Why do I only remember that damn memory…!’

This was the most unfair.

But in a way this was natural.

This is Thomas Andre who was called the strongest hunter in the United States or even in humanity.

Of course it was my first time in my life to be beaten so one-sidedly by someone else.

The mental shock he must have felt at that time was indescribable.

The more you don’t want to think about something the clearer it remains in your memory.

Wasn’t Min Byeong-gu like that too?

‘No after that we reconciled and got along well right? We even joined forces to fight!’

But whatever the reason it was unfair.

What I’m saying is that if I had retained just a little more memory after that I wouldn’t have suffered from nightmares.

But now to whom can I vent this injustice?

This was entirely Thomas Andre’s responsibility and it was fortunate that he would no longer have nightmares.

Moreover since he realized why he had felt weak all this time the homework that had been bothering him all his life disappeared overnight.

‘That’s why my grandmother sent me here. After all if you listen to Norma Sellner carefully you will be able to eat rice cakes even in your sleep.’

Wasn’t the reason why I studied Korean so hard that I even became fluent in Korean proverbs thanks to Norma Sellner’s advice?

‘I understand why that old lady told me to study Korean. ‘Seong Su-ho was Seong Jin-woo’s son.’

After learning the inside story and seeing Sung Su-ho his face was exactly like Sung Jin-woo.

Their age range was exactly the same as when Sung Jin-Woo grabbed them.

…I remembered the nightmare and started to feel bad again.

“It’s bigger than that.”

Thomas Andre’s expression hardened after hearing the entire situation that had befallen Earth through the mouths of Suho and Ber.

“The enemy has become stronger than before but Seong Jin-woo is actually not on Earth? “Isn’t this really going to destroy the Earth this time?”

As someone who had already been caught up in a war between rulers and monarchs he could say for sure.

“Their war is not one that a mere human can intervene in.”

[You understand the topic very well.]

Ver stood on Suho’s shoulder and arrogantly nodded to Thomas Andre’s words.

[By human standards you would have to be at least at the level of national power to be able to compete with the Apostle of Italim.]

“That’s what I experienced this time. Or at least…”

Thomas Andre who was agreeing with Ber’s words suddenly turned to Cha Hae-in next to the ice elves.

“…Or at least an S-class hunter with powerful items.”

After witnessing Cha Hae-in’s fighting power with the Demon King’s long sword before my eyes.

As soon as he returned to the guild a mountain of things to do began to pile up in Thomas Andre’s head.

“…I guess we should start developing weapons as soon as we get back to work.”

It’s only been two years since the cataclysm.

More than 10 years have passed since the Hunter Era began and the situation is very different now.

Human science and knowledge were more advanced than then but hunter technology was far behind compared to the past.

There may be many reasons but the biggest reason among them was the lack of research on ‘materials.’

Two years after the cataclysm the same goes for other research but in particular research on minerals mined in dungeons and the corpses of demonic beasts was still at an early stage.

It would take at least 5 more years to reach a level similar to the time period in which it disappeared.

‘But I have knowledge of the future not knowledge of the past. If you use those memories you can develop several times faster.’

That wasn’t all.

It would be possible to achieve the development of hunters in many ways such as not only the development of technology but also various raid strategies and efficient training methods.

Thomas Andre whose memories of the disappeared time period came to mind felt as if he had lived his second life.

“If you just tell me how to increase mana cohesion the development speed will be much faster… hmm?”

As Thomas Andre was thinking about this the sight of Rio Sing who was passing by suddenly came into view.

To be precise the quality of the ‘sword’ in Lio Xing’s hand was unusual.

Thomas called Lio Xing over.

“What is that knife you have? “Did you also receive an item from Seong Jin-woo or Su-ho?”

“…yes? “This knife?”

Lio Xing raised his sword with a puzzled expression and answered in fluent English.

“Is this something I just bought at Hunter Mall with money?”

“what? “You just bought it with money?”

In response to the unexpected response Thomas Andre quickly snatched Lio Xing’s knife and looked at it closely.

But still.

“What is it? Why is the quality so good? “At this level it’s almost like the old days…”

Creepy.

Something is strange.

Thomas Andre felt something unusual and asked Lio Xing.

“Where on earth did you get this sword? “Even the United States can’t handle dungeon ores this elaborately yet?”

“India is also excellent compared to other countries but not to this level yet.”

“So where on earth…”

“korea.”

“…!”

Thomas Andre’s eyes widened at those words.

On the other hand Rio Sing felt good because he felt that his keen eye was recognized by Thomas Andre.

And as soon as he saw this sword he bought it right away and answered confidently praising his quick action skills.

“I bought it when I visited Blacksmith in Korea under Suho’s guidance.”

As soon as he received recognition from S-class hunter Thomas Andre the next plan was formed in Lio Xing’s head.

‘At this level we’ll have to purchase a large amount of weapons in Korea and send them to our guild. If I bring in quality weapons the guild leader will look favorably on me again…’

However Lio Xing’s promotion plans had nothing to do with it.

Thomas Andre spoke to Suho with a serious expression.

“Something is strange. It makes no sense for technology to be developed to this level already in just the second year. “It seems like there is someone in Korea other than me who has memories of his past life!”

“In Korea?”

Suho’s expression hardened at those words.

The fact that memories of his past life came back to him even without the Shadow Key meant that he was related to the Apostle of Italim.

“okay. “It’s not just recently you must have had the memory from long ago.”

The matter was serious.

No matter how much knowledge one had it would take at least two years to commercialize this level of technology.

And that meant that at the same time as the cataclysm the Apostle of Italim was working in secret in Korea.

But then.

“Suho?”

Cha Hae-in who was next to the ice elves heard their conversation and came over to talk to them.

“Maybe he… knows who your mother is?”

“yes? “You say it’s someone your mother knows?”

“You know?! how?”

Suho and Thomas Andre who were surprised by Cha Hae-in’s words turned their attention to her.

It was ridiculous.

Cha Hae-in has been living trapped in this glacial dungeon since before the cataclysm so how could he know anything about Korea?

However Cha Hae-in responded to Su-ho with a strange smile as if he was amused by their reactions to the same facial expressions.

“hmm. Suho: I’m sure you saw it a few times when you were young.”

“Me? “Who?”

“Do you remember your boss at work who is close to your father?”

“…your father’s boss?”

Suho reacts in confusion to those words.

His father’s occupation as he remembers was ‘police’.

And if it’s your father’s boss that person is also a police officer…

“Oh I saw it when I was so young that I don’t remember it?”

Cha Hae-in nodded as if he could agree with Su-ho’s reaction.

Like most sons not many sons lived to remember their father’s boss at work.

However to her husband Seong Jin-woo ‘he’ was a boss at work who had a little special meaning.

“How is he doing now?”

It was Cha Hae-in who suddenly remembered ‘his’ face and fell into deep thought.

* * *

North Korea.

After the cataclysm Korea was practically unified.

However the process was the problem.

Dungeon breaks began to appear in droves in North Korea at the same time as the cataclysm.

Demonic beasts pouring out from there.

As a result the North Korean government was unable to properly prevent the enormous disaster that occurred and ended up self-destructing.

Weren’t there any hunters?

That wasn’t it.

Among North Koreans there were many people who realized this ability.

Perhaps if North Korea were a normal country it would have blocked the dungeon break and eliminated the demonic beasts with its awakened people as the main force like other countries.

However the moment when North Korea’s awakened people gained transcendent power.

sparked a rebellion

Centered around those who suddenly developed superpowers suppressed ideological dissatisfaction began to burst out in various places.

In the end all of North Korea’s awakened people became villains and eliminated all elements of the government.

At the same time as the cataclysm all of North Korea’s systems collapsed and in fact North Korea collapsed at that point.

Even the awakened people who had rebelled fought among themselves and were scattered.

In the end most of them died as they were individually defeated by demonic beasts that appeared from various places.

It was a natural ending since the awakened people were scattered in a situation where their combined efforts were not enough.

Anyway when that situation came to pass the dungeon break that occurred in North Korea spread uncontrollably in all directions.

The aftermath was felt by China above and Korea below.

And that was the reason why the Korean Hunter Association was providing support to North Korea.

This was because as North Korea’s field-type dungeons continued to expand their country would eventually suffer damage.

“…after. “It really is endless.”

The head of the Korean Hunter Association was in the midst of leading the association’s hunters to eliminate North Korea’s evil beasts.

This endless battle has been going on for several months now.

“President of the Association.”

Just then a middle-aged hunter approached the association president.

Choi Jong-in.

He was a magic hunter who mainly used fire and was the first S-class hunter to be brought into the association as soon as the association was established by the president.

“Everyone is exhausted. “How about taking a little rest here and then setting off again?”

“…Let’s do that.”

At Choi Jong-in’s words the president of the association smiled bitterly and took off the sunglasses he had been wearing throughout the battle.

Then beaky eyes resembling a bird of prey were revealed.

The president of the association glared fiercely at the North Korean land that had been turned into a monster field and wiped his sunglasses which were splattered with the beast’s blood with a handkerchief.

Then suddenly someone’s face came to mind and a soft sigh came out of his mouth.

“ha. “Where on earth did you go at a time like this?”

‘Woo Jin-cheol’ the president of the Korean Hunter Association who founded it muttered while thinking of Seong Jin-woo.

“Wherever you are… please just come back safely.”

I will complete all preparations by then.

Hunter Seong Jin-woo.
