Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 137



Episode 137

-At one time our Facade Republic almost turned the entire island into a giant gate.

The speech of the President of the Republic of Façade was spread through the news to the people of Paçad who had taken refuge all over the world.

-But Façade people! You can rest assured now. The Ice Age is over!

According to that speech starting from the moment the Apostle of Italim disappeared numerous gates on the façade which had holes in them like rags were closing at a rapid pace.

Because of this the bitter cold that had flowed through the holes disappeared.

The area of ​​the field-type dungeon that had been eroded by magical power also rapidly decreased.

-The Ice Age is over!

As the president said in his speech the façade is now safe.

Of course that didn’t mean all gates were closed.

Just one.

Even after the dimension was stabilized there was still a single gate leading to the glacier dungeon.

In order to close the gate the demonic beasts of the glacier dungeon had to be defeated.

However this time Suho bought the exclusive rights to the dungeon so no one would be able to set foot in the Glacier Dungeon without his permission from now on.

In short the Glacier Dungeon will continue to be an independent autonomous region for the Ice Elves from now on.

However in this situation the people of Facade were still bound to be anxious.

Because I have to live with a time bomb not knowing when the dungeon break will explode again.

So what was needed was the existence of a scavenger guild.

The Scavenger Guild the largest guild in the United States announced that it would guard the front of the glacier dungeon and conduct mining operations in the future.

Now all the people of Facade who had fled abroad would be able to return safely.

-On behalf of the entire nation I would like to express my gratitude to the Scavenger Guild for saving the Facade Republic.

[Keeeeek! They seem like ignorant people!]

Ber gritted his teeth the whole way to the airport as if he was displeased with President Façade’s speech.

[This is truly shameful!]

[That’s right Master. They don’t even know who really saved them and they only express gratitude to those idiots!]

“That’s because it was that kind of contract in the first place. Besides it’s advantageous for us to do it this way.”

Suho just chuckled at the sight of Ver and Quay who were furious despite knowing the details of the contract getting along well with each other.

The Scavenger Guild immediately announced officially that they had conquered the Glacier Dungeon and starting from this they would be able to reap such sweet intangible benefits in the future.

According to Laura’s plan the Scavenger Guild succeeded in increasing the brand value of the Scavengers in exchange for taking on all the chores for the Glacier Dungeon.

On the other hand the existence of Cha Hae-in who made a decisive contribution to solving the Glacier Dungeon and Su-ho who actually owned the exclusive rights to the Glacier Dungeon were completely hidden on the surface.

This was entirely at the request of the two people.

This is because they are two people who do not like receiving attention from others and they also need to divert attention right now.

“Don’t complain too much. “If there is another Italim apostle lurking somewhere it is to draw attention to the Scavenger Guild.”

Thomas Andre who came out to see Suho off to the airport smiled and comforted Ber and Quay.

He then said pointing with his thumb at Suho next to him.

“Leave it to me. Until this little boy becomes as strong as his father I will definitely be his shield. “This time I was an embarrassing inconvenience but even after all this I was the strongest tanker in the human race.”

In fact Thomas Andre was a tank who even took the breath of the red dragon Kamish who was said to be the strongest demon beast with his bare body so he could easily be called the strongest tanker in mankind.

[What is the strongest of mankind?]

[And don’t go somewhere else and get carried away for no reason.]

“Huh these guys? Do you keep doing this to my shame? Don’t shadow soldiers these days even know how to respect the elderly?”

Thomas André just chuckled at Ver and Quay’s words which he accepted immediately without losing.

and.

“Suho.”

Thomas Andre’s large rough hand was seen shaking Suho’s hand.

“Thank you.”

Suho who felt the emotions implied in that single word raised his head and looked up at his face.

A carefree expression appeared on the face of a muscular old man with white hair.

It was the look in the eyes of a man who had solved a long homework and decided on the direction to take in the future.

Suho chuckled and held the giant hands together.

“yes. me too.”

Suho was a little surprised because the hand was as hard as a stone.

The texture of his hands full of calluses was a badge of honor that showed how rigorous training this man had been through.

At the same time these calluses were also extremely developed weapons to prevent the opponent from catching the opponent or losing the weapon in battle.

But that wasn’t why Suho was surprised.

‘My father’s hands were like this too.’

No if it had been worse than this it would have been worse not less.

Compared to him it was Suho who looked down for a moment at his hand which was still broken.

Laura raised her glasses and said to him.

“Hunter Seong Su-ho please create a guild as soon as possible after returning to Korea.”

“Oh yeah.”

“Please please. As you know our contract is between guilds. “For our contract to take effect Hunter Seong Su-ho must create a guild.”

In principle it was impossible for individuals to purchase exclusive rights to dungeons.

For now Scavenger has taken care of it temporarily but if Suho doesn’t officially create a guild it will be difficult in one way or another.

“I heard that to create a guild in Korea you need to have at least 20 dungeon experience. “If there is anything we can help you with in this area…”

“Oh you don’t have to worry about that part. “I found another good method.”

“…?”

Laura looked puzzled for a moment at Suho’s words and then a piece of information came to mind.

Although it is a method that is rarely used the conditions for creating a guild in Korea include ways to supplement it with experience other than dungeon raiding.

“Are you really planning on meeting the career requirements by hunting villains instead?”

“Yes that’s right.”

Laura looked even more puzzled by Suho’s answer.

“Wouldn’t that take longer? “It’s not like there are high-bounty villains walking around on the streets who are recognized for their experience…”

“Oh there it is. “These days.”

“…?”

* * *

Returned to Korea.

From the moment Suho got off Jinho Yoo’s private plane he could feel the changed atmosphere of Korea.

-The next news is about Jisan Prison.

Screens showing newscasters reporting urgent news with serious expressions were being broadcast throughout the airport.

-Jisan Prison is a specialized villain detention center established by the Hunter Association two years ago. It was established under the strong villain countermeasures of Woo Jin-cheol the association president at the time….

“Ugh. “Even so the country is in a lot of trouble these days because of that.”

Yoo Jin-ho who was walking next to Su-ho clicked his tongue while watching the news.

Korea was originally famous throughout the world as a country with good public safety.

It was all thanks to the villain countermeasures that Association President Woo Jin-cheol intensively implemented as soon as he created the association the representative example of which was ‘Jisan Prison’.

“Suho I don’t know because you weren’t really interested in this kind of thing but Jisan Prison wasn’t originally a prison specializing in villains.”

As the CEO of a large company Yoo Jin-ho was in a position where he could not help but be sensitive to what was going on in the world.

So I was very familiar with the early days of Jisan Prison which was created by Association President Woo Jin-cheol.

“Prisons in our country are classified from S1 to S5 according to security level. Among them Jisan Prison was a prison for S5 prisoners with the highest sentence.”

“So it wasn’t a prison that only confined villains.”

“okay. But strangely enough the prisoners that Chairman Woo Jin-cheol had put there began to awaken inside there one by one right?”

At first everyone dismissed it as a coincidence.

There’s no law that says prisoners shouldn’t wake up.

However the prisoners’ awakening continued to occur again and again and before we knew it most of the prisoners at Jisan Prison had turned into awakened people.

“There was a lot of talk back then. What is the site of that prison like? There is actually a secret hidden within it that can turn ordinary people into awakened people…”

To top it all off the criminals who wanted to become awakened at that time even came forward and complained that they wanted to be imprisoned in Jisan Prison.

However in the early days of the cataclysm after most of the criminals who were directly arrested by the Association President Woo Jin-cheol awakened those imprisoned did not awaken no matter how long they waited.

They promised to be imprisoned in Jisan Prison for no reason but ended up living in prison trembling among vicious villains.

As the laughable story spread rumors began to circulate that Jisan Prison was not in good condition and that its president Woo Jin-cheol had the skill to recognize people who would become awakened…

“It’s not like I can recognize it I just thought it was something I knew.”

Jinho Yu grinned and muttered.

It was not difficult to confirm with a little cross-verification that those who had awakened as hunters in the lost time zone were also awakening as hunters in the current time zone.

Even those who were S-class hunters were equally S-class hunters and those who were E-class hunters were equally awakened to E-class hunters so it was not difficult to be sure.

So Chairman Woo Jin-cheol of the association classified those who could become hunters among criminals and herded them all into Jisan Prison.

Even if they awaken in the future we can collect them in one place and manage them clearly.

“I guess the problem is that we couldn’t understand the capabilities of the criminals Chairman Woo Jin-cheol in detail.”

That was the result.

-The awakened prisoners who rioted and escaped from Jisan Prison two days ago are still missing.

-The association officially defines them as villains and requests urgent cooperation from all hunters across the country….

“…I never thought that all the villains imprisoned in Jisan Prison would escape.”

“Maybe information was leaked that the president of the association had sent aid to North Korea. “They said that not only the president of the association but also the association’s S-class hunters were sent there so they must have thought this was an opportunity.”

Of course since it was a place that housed dangerous villains information was strictly controlled but since it is impossible to know what abilities the villains would have awakened there may have been some kind of method.

And what if through that method they received information that the association’s president Woo Jin-cheol and the association’s S-class hunter were absent?

It was highly likely that the villains decided that now was the right time to commit a prison escape.

“We judge that too Hunter Seong Su-ho.”

Suddenly a familiar voice was heard from behind.

When Suho and Jinho Yoo turned their heads the association’s team leader Han Jaehyuk was there to welcome Suho.

“I’m so glad you came back safely.”

Team leader Han Jae-hyuk breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he saw Suho.

These days there has been an increasing trend of large overseas guilds continuously stealing useful talent from Korea.

However since I saw Su-ho being kidnapped(?) by Thomas Andre right in front of my eyes I wondered if he was going to join the American Scavenger Guild.

For Team Leader Han Jae-hyeok this was quite heartbreaking.

He even witnessed Suho fighting on equal terms with Thomas Andre so he couldn’t help but feel it was a waste to lose such a hunter to the United States.

‘The Scavenger Guild must have offered great conditions but you turned them down and came back.’

Team leader Han Jae-hyuk made that mistake and expressed his gratitude for Suho’s patriotism.

“Luckily you came on time.”

“Of course you should come. “In this situation Hunter Seong Su-ho is helping us as a bounty hunter.”

Team leader Han Jae-hyuk looked like he was having a hard time.

At that time there was continued news about Jisan Prison in the news.

-Meanwhile the person who led this great escape was revealed to be C-level villain ‘Hwang Dong-seok’ and he is currently…

“Okay then.”

Suho’s eyes turning away from the news and looking at Team Leader Han Jae-hyuk had already changed into those of a hunter targeting his prey.

“How many people do I have to catch to become the guild leader?”
