Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 193



Episode 193

‘Who am I…?’

Black abyss.

Hwang Dong-su’s soul which was falling endlessly toward the sea of ​​​​the afterlife was looking at a flash of light.

‘Who am I….’

Wow.

The panorama of his life so far was flowing rapidly before his eyes.

Well if you look at it this way it wasn’t such a great life.

I was born into a slightly less fortunate family than others.

I was abandoned by my only older brother because I was incompetent.

I was lucky enough to become an S-class villain but I was immediately chased by those damn Choi Jong-in and Woo Jin-cheol!

Then I met ‘those guys’.

‘Foreign Religion’

At first I thought it was just a multi-level company in the form of a common pseudo-religion.

However it turned out that they were engaged in more diverse businesses than I expected and their scale was quite large.

Above all they had a fierceness that showed no regard for the harm caused to others as long as it was for their own purposes.

But that actually made me believe it.

It was much easier to deal with people who didn’t hide their desires than people who were hypocritical while hiding their true feelings.

Moreover Hwang Dong-su who was working to avoid the association was in need of various information.

In that respect the foreign religions were valuable because they had very useful information.

In response Hwang Dong-su willingly joined hands with foreign religions.

Hwang Dong-soo lends them his strength and they provide Hwang Dong-soo with information.

An equal trading relationship in which both give what is given and receive what is received from each other.

Yeah that’s how it started at first.

‘Ah then I came to Yangpyeong….’

For Hwang Dong-su this request was not particularly difficult.

The request is to conquer the field-type dungeon that occurred in Yangpyeong without anyone knowing.

To be exact it was an extremely simple request to help the Foreign Gods Church open a black market in front of them by eliminating all the demonic beasts there.

but.

‘…It was played nicely.’

Loud!

Hwang Dong-su’s soul gritted his teeth fiercely.

It was only after he died that he came to his senses.

I remembered what the foreign religion had done to me.

Yangpyeong’s field-type dungeon.

There was a suspicious witchcraft camp there from the beginning.

At the time I thought it was a characteristic of the dungeon but in fact the spell was a trap prepared by the Foreign Religion for Hwang Dong-su.

And Hwang Dong-su was clearly under the spell from the moment he set foot there.

Like a praying mantis caught in a spider’s web.

-Italim!

…That’s how Hwang Dong-su became the high priest of the foreign religion.

After that he sincerely worshiped the Italim and followed their commands without any consequences.

Whenever I was praying fervently in the chapel the foreign god Lee Tarim would always give me a great revelation from somewhere in that great world.

[Spread the stardust widely.]

[Then a huge door will open in this land.]

[Open the door and Italim will come.]

[Italim will come….]

Ah Itarim!

‘…I can’t believe I’m being played by that kind of bullshit!’

Kaaaaaa-!

Hwang Dong-su’s soul could not hide his resentment.

Far below I could see the sea of ​​the afterlife opening its mouth towards me.

I didn’t want to go there.

Why?

Are you resentful of being played by foreigners?

Because you want revenge on them?

no.

The more fundamental reason is that he realized that he had an extremely important mission.

Wow!

Hwang Dong-su’s soul opened its mouth and roared.

He was struggling with his arms to escape this terrible sea that was swallowing him up.

And he desperately stretched out his hand toward the distant sky from which he had fallen.

‘I can’t die like this!’

‘I will go back!’

‘I am…!’

‘I am!’

At the end of Hwang Dong-su’s desperate gaze above the distant sky an extremely fierce battle was taking place even at this very moment.

Grumble!

Crumbling!

The statue of Italim’s god.

A huge stone statue created by Oesingyo in the shape of Italim!

A tiny human fighting against a giant monster!

‘…!’

Hwang Dong-su looked at his face.

I saw those eyes.

I witnessed the darkness unfolding in his hands.

Then I realized it instinctively.

who he is

And the moment you realize that important truth.

Towards that great darkness that resembles the truly great ‘Him’ and not just another person!

Wow!

[Please me…! My dying soul!]

‘Grid’ roared.

[…Call my name!]

Qarring!

That moment.

‘Suho’ who was fighting with Italim’s god turned his head and looked at him.

His eyes discovered the soul of Hwang Dong-su who was slowly disappearing into the sea of ​​​​the afterlife.

I found his eager hand.

Suho stretched out his hand and grabbed him without hesitation.

“Get up.”

…!

“grid.”

Tiring!

[Shadow extraction was successful.]

[Kaaaaaa!]

Grid held his hand and rose from the sea of ​​the afterlife.

Then with the momentum of an active volcano he jumped straight up and slammed his fist into the face of the goddamn statue of Italim in front of him.

Toukwa-ang!

Half of the statue’s face exploded and shattered.

[Wow! How dare you betray me!]

The giant hand of the god statue flew out with great force and crushed Grid’s body.

bang!

but.

[How dare you….]

A grid that blocked the giant palm of the god statue with force slowly appeared underneath it.

[Grid Lv.1]

general rank

…!

[Are you trying to trick me who was a member of the Shadow Corps?]

[Keeeeek! Grid is back!]

[grid!]

Ver and Iron cheered and welcomed their return to the grid.

Grid also recognized them and his eyes lit up.

However it was not a situation to leisurely share the joy of reunion.

[every….]

Like Iron Greed who returned after a long time as a shadow soldier was able to instinctively know Suho’s identity.

And the role he will play as the strongest soldier here.

[Help the small lord! I will take the lead!]

Shwaaaaagh!

At that moment all the shadow soldiers rushed towards the statue of Italim along the grid.

And all of those attacks were fired at once towards the necklace of the statue that Suho was attacking.

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

Pieces of stone bounced in all directions and eventually the statue’s necklace broke apart.

But Grid the high priest of Itarim knew.

The real weakness of the statue is not the necklace but hidden inside!

[Little Lord this is the time! That place…!]

Before Grid finished speaking Suho was already swinging his sword with all his might.

Gang body art.

The black energy stretched out huge black blades from Volkan’s two horns.

Shugak-!

The core of the statue that was exposed was cut out.

Tiring!

[The statue of the foreign religion has been defeated.]

[Your level has risen!]

[Your level has risen!]

[Your level has risen!]

[Your level has risen!]

….

Crumbling!

Before Suho could rejoice after achieving a huge level up the huge statue of God began to collapse on the spot.

And the aftermath went straight to the people who remained nearby.

“Ugh!”

The still surviving foreign believers demons and ordinary hunters scattered in confusion as stone fragments rained down on their heads.

“Protect Grandpa!”

It was Grid who jumped out faster than anyone else at Suho’s shout.

[Seong Il-hwan! I’m here to save you!]

“…I changed my stance.”

Seong Il-hwan who was sitting on the floor exhausted after putting all his effort into it burst into laughter.

And then I was obediently grabbed by Grid’s arm and got out of there.

[Are you okay?]

“You’re asking this knowingly. Cough.”

Blood flowed from Seong Il-hwan’s mouth as he smiled and answered.

Seeing that Greed hurriedly brought Seong Il-hwan to Suho.

[Solord! Hurry up and take the potion…!]

“…!”

Suho was surprised to see Seong Il-hwan’s condition and took out a healing potion and fed it to him.

However even after receiving and drinking the potion Seong Il-hwan’s complexion did not improve at all.

It was natural.

Even though the statue was destroyed dozens of star fragments were still implanted throughout his body.

[Keeeeeeek! Seong Il-hwan!]

“grandfather! Have another bottle! This and this…!”

Suho and Ber quickly took out all the mana potion and detox potion and poured them into his mouth.

But in reality Seong Il-hwan was just amazed at the sight of his grandson worrying so much about him.

“Heh heh. No fuss. “This old man isn’t dead yet so stop.”

Seong Il-hwan stretched out in a relaxed manner.

However an ominous blue energy was still oozing out from all over his body.

“grid.”

Suho asked glaring at Greed who was the high priest of Italim.

“Tell me everything you know. “What condition is your grandfather in now?”

It was obvious that Grid knew something because he wore dozens of star fragments on his body just like Seong Il-hwan.

Moreover since all the memories of his previous life had been returned Grid knew the most out of all of them.

[Seong Il-hwan’s current condition is….]

Greed opened his mouth with a sombre expression and looked at the star fragments embedded in Seong Il-hwan’s body.

Damn. Damn.

His body was slightly cracked around the star fragments embedded in his body.

[A star fragment is an item that causes a dimensional rift and summons the magic power of the outer universe. So to speak it is similar to a micro-gate.]

“Gate?”

Suho raised his eyes at those words.

“Does that mean there are dozens of gates open in my grandfather’s body right now?”

…He was called ‘our’ grandfather.

“Hehehe.”

It was Seong Il-hwan who was twitching the corner of his mouth with an embarrassed expression standing next to him in response to Su-ho’s words.

As it turns out my relationship with Su-ho has become a lot worse over the past few years but that was entirely the result of the information gap.

From Seong Il-hwan’s perspective he clearly knew that Seong Jin-woo was the Shadow Lord so he wasn’t too worried even if he suddenly disappeared.

From the perspective of Seong Jin-woo’s son Su-ho wouldn’t such a grandfather have no choice but to criticize him?

However seeing that Ber was next to me it seemed like all the misunderstandings had now been resolved without any need for reconciliation.

However seeing my grandson fidgeting and checking his well-being for the first time in a while I felt an itch somewhere which wasn’t that bad.

“Hmm. Don’t worry too much. “Because I know my body well.”

Seong Il-hwan suppressed the smug expression on his face as much as possible and patted Su-ho on the back with as solemn an ​​expression as possible.

He then turned his eyes to look at the gate he came through and said.

“Suho let’s go inside first.”

“yes? “Inside the dungeon?”

“okay.”

Only then did Suho’s eyes turn to the gate pointed out by Seong Il-hwan.
