Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 168



Episode 168

That moment.

Coo coo coo coo coo!

[Don’t be funny! Do you think that a puppet born through my genjutsu would dare to disobey me!]

Xavier shouted in a fit of rage and created a sandstorm to attack Seong Jin-woo’s illusion.

[I will have you!]

Wow!

The sandstorm turned into a huge hand and attacked him as if it were going to grab him.

I felt a tenacity in that touch as if my favorite doll had been taken away right before my eyes.

[I mean be quiet and be my doll!]

However Seong Jin-woo’s illusion floated into the air and so easily avoided Xavier’s touch.

He spoke to Xavier in a relaxed manner.

-Are you okay? You won’t have time to worry about me from now on right?

[What?]

-My son just started a quest.

His gaze turned to Suho who was checking the contents of the quest.

Suho’s eyes were reading the contents of the quest.

[Urgent Quest: Prove your qualifications!]

A vision of Shadow Lord ‘Seong Jin-woo’ asks his son to prove his qualifications.

Defeat the demonic illusionist ‘Xavier’ and awaken new shadow powers.

moment.

Suho shouted his eyes flashing intensely.

“acceptance!”

And without hesitation he ran towards the sandstorm that was attacking him from all directions to grab his father.

[Use ‘Skill: Storm Slash’.]

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

His twin swords whipped around brilliantly tearing Xavier’s grip apart.

Qarring!

At that moment an amazing sight unfolded.

The sand that exploded and scattered began to take the shape of numerous skeletons.

“Then are all the skeletons so far?”

Seong Jin-woo nodded as if responding to Su-ho’s realization.

-Yes that’s right. Those skeletons are all illusions created by that guy’s magic.

It was like that.

Skeletons suddenly started appearing in Haeundae.

It was all an illusion created by Xavier.

Kikekekekekeke!

The skeletons whose presence was so distinct that it was hard to believe they were illusions rushed towards Su-ho all at once.

[No matter how strong you are do you think you can win against infinitely created illusions?]

Illusions with substance and physical power.

It was truly an amazing ability that could be considered an illusionist of the demon race.

however.

Suho didn’t show any change in his expression as he looked at the skeletons that were charging at him with vicious force.

“Gangshin.”

[The spiritual body of ‘Pet: Gray’ is strong in the priest’s body.]

Shwaaaagh!

Suho’s silver hair flutters with the divine wind.

Seeing this Lee Chae suddenly appeared in Seong Jin-woo’s eyes.

-hmm? That can’t be….

It’s amazing.

The blessings of the canine lord he personally killed resided in his son’s body.

At the same time Suho’s movements suddenly became faster.

[Use ‘Skill: Grassland Wind’.]

[Movement speed temporarily increases by 30%.]

[Attack speed temporarily increases by 30%.]

‘The power of the ruler!’

When Suho let go of the swords he was holding in both hands the swords rushed in like beams of light and cut into the skeletons.

At the same time Suho also fiercely pumped his fists.

쌄쌣죣죣죣죣죣죣ꌄ!

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!

The skeletons were mercilessly destroyed and shattered by the fierce attack.

Dozens and hundreds of skeletons disappeared without a trace in an instant.

There are so many of these guys.

Even if he kept rushing he couldn’t even buy time against Suho.

However Seong Jin-woo’s eyebrows were slightly furrowed as he watched the scene.

-Hmm.

As I watched closely I noticed that I could not only feel the energy of the canine monarch in Suho’s body.

Can’t you feel the energy of the Lord of Plague?

-How did my son become a priest of dead monarchs?

This makes me a little curious about what happened.

Suddenly Seong Jin-woo’s eyes turned to Ber.

As if it was only natural Ber had been by his side reliably looking very loyal.

A fierce force radiates from narrowed eyes.

If this had been its original size it would have looked really sturdy but the current version was so small that it just felt cute.

Seong Jin-woo chuckled and placed his hand on Ber’s head again.

-Ber I need to look into your memories for a moment.

[I will follow you as much as you want.]

Ber willingly closed his eyes and felt Seong Jin-woo’s hand on his head.

That time was never long.

-…I see.

Seong Jin-woo who glimpsed Ver’s memories tilted his head with a somewhat disapproving expression.

Then he suddenly spread his hands in the air and began manipulating Xavier’s magic circle at will.

Faaah! Pot pot pot!

Following the touch complex magic circles made of ominous light emerged and began to spin.

At the same time the sandstorm that was sweeping the area began to gradually change showing strange movements.

[What is this?]

Xavier was greatly embarrassed by the sudden situation and struggled.

His magic which had been unfolded perfectly was being corrupted without permission.

[There is no way something like this is possible…!]

No matter how hard he tried once the magic circle left Xavier’s hands it began to deteriorate into a mess.

Seong Jin-woo gave words of comfort to Xavier.

-No need to worry. I don’t mean to damage your magic. Even though it looks like this I am just an illusion and have almost no magic power.

[Oh no…!]

-Rather than that I’m trying to improve your magic.

‘That doesn’t make sense!’

Xavier couldn’t help but be shocked.

How could he who is nothing but an illusion do something like this!

‘What kind of monster have I summoned?’

Xavier was feeling an unknown fear that he had never imagined.

And in fact as he said Xavier’s magic team was developing into more and more perfect form.

Whoa!

[Huhhh?!]

Xavier was extremely embarrassed by the sudden feeling of his power increasing.

But no matter what the process was if you look at the result it was clearly a good thing for you.

[I don’t know what your intentions are but…]

Xavier grabbed this power that ‘he’ had given him.

And he looked down at Suho and all the hunters including him and revealed his evil spirit without hesitation.

[I will use this power gratefully!]

Flash!

[The level of ‘Skill: Mirage’ has increased.]

Coo coo coo coo coo!

The sand storm became more intense.

At the same time the strength of the skeletons born from the mirage became much stronger.

-Come on my son.

The illusion of Seong Jin-woo who was looking down at the scene from above slowly raised the corners of his mouth and crossed his arms.

-Your father laid the board like this so use all the strength you have. Dad will take care of the rest so don’t worry.

“…!”

moment.

Suho’s eyes widened in surprise.

And even though he was in battle his eyes instinctively looked for his father.

Later.

I realized what those words meant.

Italim.

Apostle of Itarim!

All this time he had been suppressing his power knowingly or unknowingly.

To not be a burden to my father.

To prevent his father’s enemies from finding out that he was a descendant of the Shadow Lord.

He was using the most powerful power he had the Shadow Power to a minimum.

The reason was obvious.

It had to be that way.

For my father.

‘Because I am my father’s only weakness.’

however.

Now the father.

-Tsk. Just because this guy got older his hair got thicker.

He was clicking his tongue at himself.

-No just how old are you and are you already worried about your parents?

…He was reprimanding himself in a tone that seemed to see through all the worries he had had until now.

-Suho. my son

Unable to hide the cute and unique smile from his mouth.

-That’s basically the worry. This is what parents do to their children.

He was smiling.

– Basically it means that higher-ranking people worry about lower-ranking people.

And as that smile gets deeper.

Gooooooooo!

Before I knew it Seong Jin-Woo’s momentum was taking over the entire area as if it were going to engulf it.

-Know this now.

And he sincerely scolded his son who had been worrying about him all this time.

– This dad is a horse. Until now I have never lived a single moment in vain. I am not so weak that I should be worried by a brat like you.

“….”

-therefore.

My father’s voice resonates in a low voice.

-Stop worrying about your dad so needlessly.

The moment I heard those words.

Suddenly something heavy inside Suho disappeared.

I realized it at the same time.

The real reason why his father appeared in Xavier’s vision.

‘Xavier’s skill mirage’

An illusion that reveals terrible memories deeply engraved within the target.

The scariest thing about this skill was that it made the most anxious and vulnerable memories of the person the weakest part of the person into reality.

And as the current results prove.

The traumatic feelings that Suho had been suppressing all this time were about his father.

‘Because of me my father…’

‘If my father gets caught because of me….’

‘If I become a hostage to them it will be a big problem…’

‘I am my father’s only weakness…’

The expression of those countless thoughts was the fantasy of the ‘father’.

But now the father has given permission.

That moment.

Suho’s eyes changed.

The corners of his mouth rose.

A smile that somehow resembles his father.

An extremely relaxed expression appeared on his face.

He stopped walking and looked ahead.

With bright eyes that resemble his father.

And then he opened his mouth.

“Get up.”

…!

That moment.

Shwaaaaaaaaa!

At Suho’s feet his shadow soldiers rose up all at once.

Shadow soldiers billowing black vapor from their entire bodies.

Wow!

They stood with Su-ho at the center and spewed out ferocious murderous energy in all directions.

Among them were Quay and Harmakan Kira who were traveling around the country to hunt down villains.

“Create a Harmakan instance dungeon.”

[Yes master.]

Flash!

When the command was given Harmakan spread his arms and performed a spell.

[Instance dungeon has been created.]

Flash!

At that moment a transparent force field spread out in all directions centered on Harma Khan.

That huge sphere dragged the entire sandstorm created by Xavier into the other world.

All of the hunters gathered here including Xavier.

-That’s novel. You’re using instance dungeons to trap enemies.

Seong Jin-woo nodded saying he was finally finding it a bit more interesting.

Xavier on the other hand couldn’t help but be embarrassed.

[This could not be Candiaru’s…!]

Xavier was shocked to realize that he was trapped in a magic circle of a much higher level than himself.

But that wasn’t the problem.

A shadow lord-like energy was suddenly radiating from Suho.

[Oh how could you… No wait! Could it be you…?!]

“okay.”

Suho willingly answered the question.

Like letting out the breath you’ve been holding.

“I am Seongsuho the son of the Shadow Lord.”

That moment.

[Learned ‘Skill: Monarch’s Realm Lv.1’.]

Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The shadow of the guardian dyed the entire land black.
