Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 153
by Jessie@AFNCC
Episode 153
The village was quiet.
It was too quiet.
So it even looked peaceful.
Baek Mi-ho also thought that way until she found out the truth.
“Vice President! “This house is empty too!”
“There’s no one in this mall either!”
As she continued to hear reports she frowned and looked around.
‘I just don’t know. ‘What on earth happened in this town?’
That shouldn’t be the case but if at least a human body had been found here there would have been some clue as to what was going on.
However I checked all over the village but no one was seen anywhere.
‘How is this possible?’
It was a situation that made absolutely no sense.
If all the villagers had left the village at least there should have been traces of their movements.
But not even the slightest trace remained.
Doesn’t it seem like… all the citizens of this town disappeared in an instant?
“Vice President none of the villains at Jisan Prison have the skills to cause this phenomenon.”
“…yes. “I know.”
In the end there was only one thing to doubt in this unrealistic situation.
“Is there any possibility that a gate has opened somewhere in this town?”
“It’s realistic but there’s no blue fog.”
“….”
That’s right.
To say that a dungeon had occurred the blue fog flowing from inside the gate was nowhere to be seen.
Baek Mi-ho picked up her cell phone with a serious expression as she continued to hear reports from the guild members who were searching the village.
“I need to contact the association first….”

It was then.
Damn it!
Above their heads.
A crack appeared in the clear sky.
“…!”
“Over there!”
“Look at the sky!”
All the hunters’ heads rose upward at the sound of someone’s shout.
Damn it! Damn it!
And that moment.
The cracks in the sky began to crack and splinter even more shattering like glass and collapsing.
Gurgling!
“What!”
“Everyone assemble!”
“yep!”
As soon as the white tiger’s abstract command was issued the white tiger guild members spread throughout the village gathered around her at a tremendous speed.
“Ready for battle!”
Chachachachacha!
The eyes of the White Tiger guild members who had already completed all battle stances even before the command was over were burning with fighting spirit.
But something even more surprising happened next.
Finally the transparent barrier that surrounded the entire village of Yamiri like a dome shattered.
Let’s go!
“…!”
At that moment the hunters of the White Tiger Guild covered their noses in surprise.
“Whoop!”
“This smell…?!”
Suddenly the terrible smell of blood began to emanate from all directions.
I thought the sky would collapse and the ground would collapse or the buildings would collapse but that expectation was completely different.
The scenery of the village had not changed at all.
The only thing that has changed is that people who had disappeared have reappeared.
But it was anything but peaceful.
Numerous corpses with white bones exposed were strewn about on the blood-covered floor.
The village was spread across the village in such a terrible way that it seemed as if the life had been sucked out of it.
“Could it be that all these citizens have disappeared….”
But then.
“…!”
“It’s a person!”

Hunters saw.
On top of the terrible tragedy revealed like this.
A man standing tall in the middle of it all.
Baek Mi-ho immediately recognized who he was and opened her eyes wide.
“Hunter Seong Su-ho?!”
“…ah.”
Suho then raised his head and turned his attention to the hunters of the White Tiger Guild who were looking at him.
And when he made eye contact with Baek Mi-ho he smiled faintly.
“It just worked out well. “I didn’t want to bother counting them all. Could you please count them for me to see if there are 500 people?”
“…yes?”
At Suho’s words the hunters were startled and turned their heads to look at the white skeletons around them.
“Then all these corpses?!”
And my eyes grew wide.
“omg! “He’s a villain!”
“All these corpses are villains!”
“what?!”
Surprisingly the ankle bones of the dead corpses were filled with electronic anklets!
“It’s real!”
“Then how can these many villains…?”
“You killed that person by yourself?”
After confirming the truth everyone’s attention once again focused on Suho.
Even amidst all those gazes filled with extreme astonishment Suho simply sighed wiping his hair soaked in blood and sweat.
“after. “I feel uncomfortable.”
Even if you level up the only thing restored is your physical strength.
My clothes were still soaked with blood and sweat so I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.
‘I guess I should go back and take a shower.’
Trudging.
“….”
I flinch.
Baek Mi-ho barely restrained herself from almost taking a step back when Su-ho slowly walked towards her.
Something was strange.
‘I definitely didn’t feel this way when we met yesterday.’
What on earth happened to him?
No what on earth is that guy?
It was so strange.
The Suho I met today felt like a completely different person from the Suho I met yesterday.
Baek Mi-ho’s senses which had raised his beast skills to the limit were screaming for him to run away from Su-ho right now.
“Baek Mi-ho.”
“…yes?!”
Seeing Baek Mi-ho startled Su-ho chuckled and passed by her.
And just keep things simple.
“Please do some post-processing here. As you can see I’m alone… Oh and the bounty is all mine?”
“Now wait a minute!”
“…?”
Baek Mi-ho finally mustered up the courage to urgently call Su-ho over and ask him the most important thing.
“If these corpses are all villains where are all the citizens who lived in this town? “No way they’re all dead…”
At those words Suho lowered his head for a moment and stared at his feet.
“…?”
Baek Mi-ho followed his gaze down to his feet but there was nothing there.
Other than his shadow.
“There’s no way all the citizens are buried underground….”
“ah!”
“Kya?!”
When Suho suddenly raised his head Baek Miho was startled and screamed.
Then seeing Suho cover his mouth with both hands in shock he said with a grin.
“Fortunately there seem to be quite a few people still alive. “Go towards the village hall.”
“…!”
As Suho said I went to the village hall and found quite a few people passed out there.
Everyone had a bad complexion as if their blood had been sucked by some kind of vampire but their lives were still alive.
“What the hell is this….”
“what….”
All Baekho guild members including Baekmiho looked at Suho again with questioning eyes.
But Suho just shrugged his shoulders and said nothing.
“Couldn’t there have been a villain who absorbed the vitality of others? It’s better to save it to use whenever you need it and you can manage hostages effectively.
“…?”
That can’t be possible.
The Baekho Guild had all the information about the villains at Jisan Prison.
There was no such similar skill anywhere.
So what is it?
Has someone really been hiding such a skill like Suho said until now?
“Vice President.”
Just then the guild members who were searching near the village hall returned to Baek Mi-ho and reported.
“The bodies of many dead citizens were found in this area.”
“When we checked the citizens’ causes of death they were all caused by the skills of the villains listed in the information.”
“I don’t see any other bounty hunters around.”
“Anyone… except Hunter.”
“…okay.”
Baek Mi-ho nodded.
Her mind was still confused.
What on earth happened in this town?
Citizens who were killed by villains outside the community center and citizens who were trapped inside the community center and had their life sucked out of them.
but.
‘One thing is certain.’
Hunter Seong Su-ho.
This man really killed all 500 villains.
And as a result the lives of all citizens who were still alive were saved.
He was… a hero.
“Hunter Seong Su-ho.”
Baek Mi-ho who understood the situation walked in front of Su-ho who was about to return home.
Then he bowed politely and said hello.
“Thank you.”
“….”
“Thanks to you the citizens of this town were able to survive.”
As soon as Baekmiho finished speaking the hunters of the Baekho Guild who were standing behind her all bowed towards Suho.
“thank you.”
“thank you.”
“thank you.”
Seeing their solemn expressions Suho’s expression couldn’t help but become serious as well.
‘White Tiger Guild.’
Suho was able to see why they were the most respected guild in Korea.
Numerous hunters attack dungeons chasing only money.
There was no one who criticized their actions as they pursued practical interests and engaged in battle.
Because it was only natural for a person with ability to chase money.
but.
At least it wasn’t the hunters in front of here.
These were hunters who truly hunted demonic beasts to protect the citizens.
Sensing their sincerity Suho also bowed his head politely and responded to their greetings.
* * *
“….”
Suho was sitting leisurely on a mountainside far from Yamiri Village watching the White Tiger Guild rescue survivors.
[…Little Lord.]
Suddenly Ber’s voice came from behind him.
[I guess this guy still has some strength left.]
“Take one step.”
[…yep.]
At Suho’s words Harmakan who was lying down with his head buried behind him hurriedly lifted one of his legs.
His trembling legs looked even more pitiful.
[Harmacan Lv.1]
Elite Knight Grade
Thanks to killing Harmakan and raising the level the number of shadow soldiers that can be stored has also increased.
Thanks to that Suho extracted Harmakan’s shadow and this was the result.
‘It’s an elite knight level.’
Harmakan seemed like a very difficult person to deal with but he became the highest-ranking soldier so far.
However just because the grade was high it did not mean that the person had good physical strength.
Harmakan’s true power lies in powerful curses and magic so he was suffering greatly from this simple pretense.
There are evil deeds that have been committed so far so there will be more in the future…
[Master.]
At that time a shadow soldier suddenly appeared in the empty air.
Then he knelt in front of Suho and earnestly bowed his head and made a request.
[Please give me a name too….]
‘Oh then I saw this guy.’
Suddenly Suho’s eyes looked at him.
Kang Tae-sik was a bounty hunter.
His talent as a shadow assassin was clearly confirmed in actual combat.
However the name above his head was different from the first time.
[?? [Lv.5]
knight rank
‘I guess it’s because the number of shadow soldiers that can be stored has increased. But your level has already risen as much as mine?’
It was level 1 at first so how much did this guy do in just one day?
Su-ho thought for a moment as he looked at Kang Tae-sik’s soul which was solemnly awaiting his disposition.
The name is the name….
Suho thought about the name for a moment then smiled and opened his mouth.
“Kira.”
It was because I suddenly remembered the name of a character in a cartoon I watched a long time ago who had no hesitation in committing murder.
“From now on your name will be Kira.”
[Thank you master.]
When Su-ho chose the name the soul of shadow assassin Kang Tae-sik turned his bowed head even lower.
At that moment information was updated above his head.
[Kira Lv.5]
knight rank
