Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 17



Episode 17

[‘Title: Wolf Slayer’ buff effect is activated.]

Boom!

Suho’s feet hit the ground.

Wedge-

Suho’s new model stretched out in a straight line.

In front of him Brockie’s expression was filled with astonishment.

[What…!]

Something unbelievable happened.

The power and speed of protection.

A force bursting from the whole body.

All of that changed in an instant.

All stats gained by leveling up +1.

Additional stats +5 obtained as a quest reward.

In addition it is a title that boosts all abilities by a whopping +40% against beast-type monsters.

All that synergy was focused on the Guardian Sword.

Dual swords. Storm slash.

[Use ‘Skill: Storm Slash’.]

Wow!

Suho literally became a storm.

The two swords crossed and a strong wind blew.

[You have learned ‘Skill: Dual Swordsmanship Lv.1’.]

It was truly merciless violence.

It was a one-sided hacking by a cruel butcher.

쌄쌣죣죣죣죣죣죣ꌄ!

[Kaaaaaaaa! Innoom-!]

Brockie tried to fight back but it was nothing more than a desperate struggle.

Ku-kwa-kwa-kwaang!

Due to Brocky’s struggles the guard posts built by the Hyena Guild collapsed and were destroyed.

[How dare you…!]

And before Brockie even finished speaking.

Red light shot out in a straight line from its fiercely opened mouth.

Rakan’s fang brought up by the ruler’s power.

Suho’s hand snatched the sword.

And just like that.

Flash!

I hit it down.

[You have defeated the harsh commander Brockie.]

Kugoogung!

Finally the huge demonic beast collapsed.

[Your level has risen!]

[Your level has risen!]

“after.”

Suho gets down on the floor.

[Keeeeeeek! You have done it! I killed you! This incredible guy is our Solord-!]

And it was Ber who flew quickly as if he had been waiting for this moment.

-…oh my god. Does this work? A human is Brockie?

Ber chuckled and responded to Rakan’s Fang’s words.

[Didn’t you know? The world is ultimately about the law of the jungle. The strong are preyed upon by the stronger. And our Solord will become stronger in the future. Oh and Solord? Is it okay if I have some of this?]

Ber licked his lips and pointed to Brockie’s body.

At those words Suho looked at Brockie’s body.

[This is a target for which shadow extraction is possible.]

Black smoke was billowing above it.

Lee Chae appeared in Suho’s eyes.

‘This guy can also be extracted?’

Then I can’t give it to you because it’s a waste.

“Just one bite. “Eat the rest later after extracting the shadow.”

[Yes!]

Wow!

As soon as permission was given Ber flew away excitedly.

The dead Brockie was a good source of magic power.

[Hehe. Just one bite.]

Ber’s mouth opened evilly.

If you only eat one bite which part of it should you eat so that people can say you ate well?

As expected it was only here.

brain.

[The diet of the fittest. That’s something I really like too.]

Ver muttered like that and delved into Brockie’s head.

* * *

Suho freed all the people who were tied up.

“I reported it to the Hunter Association so a rescue team will arrive soon. “There are still demonic beasts roaming around the mountain so don’t go anywhere else and just gather here for a moment.”

“Hehehe! thank you! thank you!”

They were shocked by how long they had been held so they were covered in tears and snot and wept loudly.

[Little Lord these are all debtors who owe money to the Hyena Guild. Because I couldn’t pay my debt I signed a waiver and was arrested.]

“Ber how do you know that?”

[My skill is predation. I ate Brockie’s brain and stole some of his memories.]

“You do everything.”

[Khem. I am a useful servant in many ways.]

Ber was proud with both hands on his waist.

[Oh by the way. Looking at Brockie’s abilities I found that there was no such thing as the power to create a werewolf by feeding him blood.]

“what? Then how do these guys…”

Suho’s eyes turned to the werewolves lying dead on the floor.

-I thought that was the strangest thing from the beginning.

Rakan’s fangs opened their mouths.

-The Hyena Clan is just one of the numerous tribes that followed the Fang Clan. Only the canine clan can create minions by feeding them blood.

“then….”

-It seems like there is a real canine clan in there besides Brocky.

At those words Suho and Ber’s eyes simultaneously looked at the gate where Brockie came out.

“There is a real boss mob.”

Suho adjusted his sword with determined eyes.

Then Ber shrugged his shoulders and said next to him.

[It won’t be a boss mob.]

“No?”

Suho gives him a puzzled look.

[yes. If Brocky’s memory is correct there will probably be no more combat situations.]

Ber looked a little bitter.

[You will find out once you enter.]

* * *

Suho entered the gate.

And I was able to find a small and delicate creature inside.

“This is…”

Suho’s expression hardened.

There a blood-stained wolf cub was lying helpless.

Scruffy gray fur.

Bandages wrapped roughly around each other.

It was a very small wolf only about a span in size.

And in front of it…

The syringes that drew blood were rolling around randomly.

-Brockie How dare you this crazy bastard!

Rakan’s fangs trembled with rage upon seeing this.

-Are you sure they tied up the descendants of their clan and forcibly drew their blood?

I flinch.

Did you hear his anger?

The wolf cub tied to a dog collar lifted its head helplessly.

The unfocused eyes stared blankly at the empty space where Suho was standing.

Then he sniffed with his small nose.

Strange human.

The smell of blood on those clothes.

“Kwiung….”

One weak cry.

With that the wolf cub lowered his head again.

There was not even a trace of hope or will to live left in the small body that had lost its energy.

-Brocky you crazy mongrel-!

Rakan’s fangs became extremely angry and cursed Brocki who was already dead.

Ver muttered calmly as he read Brockie’s memories.

[Immediately after being defeated in the war against the Shadow Army Brockie left the battlefield before anyone else. In fact he was closer to a deserter than a defeated soldier.]

Brockie’s next move was truly base.

[He hid in the sanctuary of the Fang clan which was considered the safest place and found the clan’s young wolf there.]

A wolf cub who was left alone after all the adults had gone to war.

The guy in the memory waggled his tail in joy when Brockie entered the sanctuary.

but.

[When Brocky saw that an idea occurred to him.]

‘Okay this is it! Using the blood of this canine clan we can create as many guardians as we want!’

‘Let the guardians protect me!’

‘My own army! I am creating a new tribe here that serves only me!’

‘Are you okay too? Hehehe.’

Brockie smiled vulgarly as he watched the wolf cub wagging its tail at him.

[…After that the Sanctuary was torn into several pieces and wandered through the gaps in the dimension. One day a hole connected to the Earth appeared in front of Brockie.]

And then I found a group of humans.

[At that moment Brockie without hesitation drew the blood of this young wolf and fed it to them.]

Next was something Suho was familiar with.

The guardians that were created like that became Brockie’s army under the name of the Hyena Guild.

They hunted down the same humans and offered food to Brockie.

For as long as a year.

However there was one problem here.

That was the reason why Rakan’s fangs were angry.

-The power of the guardians is not eternal. Ten days at most. After that period the blood power engraved on the guardians’ bodies disappears and they return to their original state. That means…!

“This means that blood was drawn from this guy once every ten days and fed to the guild members. “For as long as a year.”

-Kaaaaaa! Brockie! Brockie!

Suho picked up the limp wolf cub with one hand.

Hilarious.

I was a little surprised that it was much lighter than I expected.

[Kkiek? Are you sure you can take me with you?]

Ber’s eyes widened.

This young wolf was not a direct descendant of the Fang Lord but was a descendant of his blood.

[If left alive he may grow into the second Fang Lord and threaten the Earth again.]

“Well I heard we won before anyway?”

[That’s… right? hmm.]

Hearing Suho’s words Ber looked intently at the wolf cub in Suho’s hands.

Ver nodded at the sight of him writhing around unable to even make a sound due to the amount of blood that had been drawn.

[That’s right. There is no need for us to be at odds with each other when aliens from outer space are attacking us.]

Even though the war was lost the surviving children were innocent.

Rather isn’t it something to be proud of because it has survived so far with this small and light body?

However Suho did not necessarily want to take this wolf for that romantic reason alone.

‘Somehow I feel like it will be helpful in some way later. furthermore….’

“If I die here now my last memories will be very unhappy right? “I was captured by a man I trusted and had my blood sucked for a whole year.”

Suho said that and held the boy in his arms.

“So let’s give him some food first and then think about it.”

* * *

Suho returned home immediately with the wolf cub.

Since I reported the Hyena Guild and Gwanaksan Field to the association I decided to pay no attention to them for now.

After all civilian survivors will give much more specific testimony than Suho.

Rather than that it seemed like this guy was going to die any moment today.

“You say you’re a Werner healer but you can’t treat something like this?”

[The healer’s recovery magic can only heal wounds. There is nothing we can do if you are lacking blood or are hungry.]

“Recovery skills are not omnipotent. Then first…”

Suho turned on the electric heater and placed it in front of the wolf cub.

“Kkiing.”

“why? “Do you like it because it’s warm?”

The wolf cub looked quite embarrassed.

Even though his tail was trembling he was staring intently into the red light of the electric heater as if he were fascinated.

“Well you might be seeing fire for the first time in your life.”

Suho left him like that and immediately started making seaweed soup.

Then I cooled it so it wasn’t too hot and served it on a small plate.

“You really think you’re having a good day today. “This is the recipe my mom used to make every time I had a birthday.”

Suho looked condescending and held out seaweed soup in front of the guy’s short snout.

“Try it. “They say seaweed soup is good when you have blood shortage.”

…Sniff.

When it smelled the seaweed soup the wolf cub’s tail twitched.

“are you okay. “I told you to eat it.”

When Suho forcibly put seaweed soup on the animal’s snout its tongue instinctively fluttered.

licking?

…!

“Oh I didn’t know. “Wolves have a surprised expression just like humans.”

Tsk tsk tsk.

The wolf cub sticks its nose into the plate and begins to lick the seaweed soup.

The unsightly furry tail swayed helplessly.

Rakan’s fang who was silently watching the scene in Ver’s hand muttered solemnly.

-…thanks. In many ways.

He had complicated feelings in many ways.

The reason they ended up like this in the first place was because they lost the war against them.

However even though the war was lost the surviving children were innocent.

I had to stand up and live in the future by stepping on the surviving present.

And maybe… this young wolf might be the only survivor of the canine clan.

As Ver warned he was a small lord who would one day grow up and continue the lineage of the canine lords.

To think that the Shadow Lord’s successor would lend a helping hand to such a child.

What kind of irony is this?

“Is it worth eating?”

Suho squats in front of a small wolf cub licking warm soup and grins.

Rakan’s canine who was watching this had no choice but to accept the fact that the war was finally over.

-…okay. You won. We will entrust all our new soldiers to you.

The moment when he sighs softly.

The will of Fang Lord Rakan the great king of beasts resides in Guardian.

Tiring.
