Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 216



Episode 216

Passeuk-

Astra who has become a tattered body with many holes in it turns into ashes and scatters across the sky where the heat of battle has cooled.

The scenery was like watching a gray snowstorm falling from the tomb of the dragons.

“….”

The Yongje’s eyes silently looking at the scenery were fluttering with complex feelings.

It reminded me of the war against the Shadow Legion that was defeated a long time ago.

Antares the king of wild dragons and the lord of destruction.

The flame that spewed out from the ‘Heart of the Dragon Emperor’ that he gave to Su-ho this time was truly the power of destruction itself.

The power was so powerful and destructive that it caused permanent burns to even the great Shadow Lord Seong Jin-woo.

Seong Jin-Woo has now gone far beyond human physical limitations and has become a being who can change his age and even his body shape at will. However he still has an indelible scar from the burn on his left hand when he was attacked by the Dragon Emperor.

Since it was such a powerful force of destruction it was only natural that Astra the ax created by condensing the mana of the Outer God would lose its breath and burn up.

Damn it! Damn it!

Pussy-

Soon something strange happened in Siddharth Bachchan’s completely charred body.

The star fragments embedded in various parts of his body all cracked and shattered.

The star pieces in the bodies of the dragon soldiers who followed him all broke and shattered and the mana of the outer universe that had been condensed within them began to leak out of their bodies like blue vapor.

Antares the Dragon Lord laughed at the sight of such phenomena occurring simultaneously here and there as if he knew that would happen.

[The delicately maintained balance has been broken. After all the only vessel that can withstand dragon blood is the dragon race.]

Any strong power requires a vessel suitable for it.

The dragon blood which had been forcibly suppressed with the mana of the Outer God ran wild in the vessel and burned them.

Passsss-

They screamed silently and were reduced to ashes and scattered.

But ironically the expressions of utmost relief appeared on their dying faces.

Just like the dragon people who previously became Guardian’s shadow soldiers they too can now finally find rest.

Their minds and bodies were possessed by the power of external forces but their souls continued to suffer.

[That’s good. If you give their dragon blood as food to Ragna his mana will increase even a little.]

Dragon Emperor Antares muttered this spread his short arms wide and took a deep breath.

Grumble!

Shwaaaaagh-

The red mana that emanated from the corpses of the dying dragon race burned brightly and was absorbed into Ragna’s small body.

“bloodstone?”

Esil saw the scene from afar and tilted his head.

The dragon emperor who noticed Esil’s gaze clicked his tongue as if he was disapproving.

[Do not compare it to the bloodstone of demonic nobles. Dragon blood is superior to the blood of any other race. The quantity and quality of mana are also much more powerful and noble.]

“But all the dragons are dead now right?”

[….]

Antares silently glared at Esil who was acting arrogantly while talking back.

But what if it’s true?

Just as there was only one demon noble left the reality was that there was only one dragon left.

However Antares’ angry eyes were so cruel that Esil lowered his eyes and quickly ran away to Suho.

“Suho! are you okay?”

“…are you okay.”

“Is this really okay?”

Contrary to Esil’s concerns Suho was truly fine.

As soon as I leveled up I was freed from all status abnormalities and the Dragon Emperor’s heart was no longer emitting heat.

There was a minor problem that all the clothes I was wearing were burned but even that was solved by buying suitable clothes from a store window.

fluttering.

As Suho put on his clothes the shadow energy that had been swirling around his body until now properly covering important parts coalesced into one and turned into Ver.

Ber shed tears and massaged Suho’s shoulders.

[Keeeeek! You are truly magnificent Solord! Please forgive this ugly servant who had no choice but to watch even though he clearly knew the pain of the Solord!]

“What’s new? “What can I do if it’s because of experience points?”

[That is of course correct. How dare I hinder the growth of the Solord?]

“….”

I really can’t even speak.

It was Suho who was staring at Ber.

But it wasn’t wrong.

Ber is a shadow soldier who belongs to Seong Jin-woo not Su-ho.

If Verga participated in the battle the experience received by Suho would naturally decrease.

In the first place it was unclear how helpful Ver would be if he were to join the battle.

‘Even though I’ve been feeding him magic gemstones for a long time he still looks smaller.’

Of course this did not mean that Ber had not recovered his mana at all until now.

I knew why Ver still maintained the appearance of Mini Ver even though he had recovered some mana.

This means that even a handful of the magic power that normally leaks out will be saved even a little more.

So Suho couldn’t help but be even more curious.

‘How strong was Ber?’

I thought I was pretty strong now but I couldn’t even guess the power of Ver who hadn’t fully recovered his mana yet.

This ultimately means that either Ver has an excellent ability to hide his power or Suho’s sense stats are still far below Ver’s power…

[Kiek? Why do you look at me like that?]

“….”

There’s still a long way to go.

Suho shook his head and turned his gaze to Esil.

“Have you looked for any traces of demons?”

“huh. As you said it seems certain that there is a factory somewhere around here.”

Apart from the large-scale battle that had taken place so far Esil had been paying close attention to the energy of the demons.

“I knew so.”

As expected it was strange that there were no demons in a town with this many star fragments.

One of the main ingredients for the star fragments embedded in the bodies of the dragon people was devil’s blood and the beings who could make it were also devils.

And Esil the only demon noble in existence had a mission to unite all demons and rebuild the demon world.

If they are already firmly in the grip of foreign media it is of course their duty to personally punish them.

‘I’m still too weak. If I want to be of any help to Suho I have to at least recover my original strength. And then…’

Gulp.

Esil swallows dry saliva.

Through the battle of Guardians just now Esil came to a clear realization.

The fact that Su-ho’s growth rate was overwhelmingly faster than the rate at which he who was S-rank by human standards regained his original strength.

Even Seong Jin-woo’s son Su-ho was like this and even at this very moment he was waging an all-out war with Italim in outer space. It was even scary to imagine how great the power of Seong Jin-woo was.

Moreover what about the beings called Italim who are engaged in such a tense power struggle that Seong Jin-woo cannot even return to Earth?

While watching Siddharth Bachchan’s ‘Astra’ Esil shivered at the feeling of getting a glimpse of the power of beings called Italim.

And then I resolve again to force myself to shake off the fear.

‘In order to ease the burden on Seong Jin-woo I must recover my strength as quickly as possible and proudly inherit the power of the monarch.’

Baran the Lord of the White Flame the king of demons.

In order to inherit his power it was urgent to first gather the demons scattered across the gaps in the dimension into one place.

Esil pointed somewhere with his finger to Suho following the traces of the demons he had found.

“I was confused because so many troops were gathered in one place but I think it was in that direction. “Seeing as the demons’ energy was cut off from the middle it is highly likely that the factory was hidden in the dungeon.”

“Then there is a high probability that that dungeon is a piece of the demon world.”

“that’s right.”

Suho nodded and turned in the direction pointed by Esil.

Seeing that Esil panicked and asked.

“Are you really planning to go right away?”

“It’s easy.”

“I don’t know what’s beyond the gate but I’m so unprepared…”

“We will start preparing now.”

With the answer Suho’s gaze turned to the side.

Siddharth Bachchan’s body which had turned into a pile of pitch-black ashes lay there.

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

Sigh.

A line was drawn around Suho’s mouth.

“thank god. “I was worried that the soul might be contaminated and could not be extracted.”

Siddharth Bachchan.

When he becomes a shadow soldier he will be a little weaker than when he was alive but I was already looking forward to how useful a guy this size would be if he became a shadow soldier.

Aaaaaaa-

Before Suho’s eyes Siddharth Bachchan’s shadow was shaking like boiling lava and screaming like a yaksha from hell.

I didn’t know what that scream meant.

I wonder if the end of that overwhelming anger is resentment toward Su-ho who killed him.

Or maybe it’s resentment toward Lee Tarim who played with his soul.

But at least one thing was certain.

“Do you want to live again?”

Wow-

At Su-ho’s question the dead man’s screams became more intense.

Suho raised the corners of his mouth and willingly extended his hand toward his shadow.

“I have a lot to ask you. “Get up.”

[Attempt to extract shadows.]

[Attempting extraction….]

Ting!

[Shadow extraction failed.]

“Hey this….”

For a moment Suho’s solemn expression changed.

I really never thought I would fail.

It felt good.

The dragon emperor Antares who saw the scene from the side couldn’t help but chuckle.

“What a remarkable guy. Still it would be dishonorable for a guy who has consumed a lot of dragon blood to follow me in the name so he just jumps in and asks me to join the Shadow Corps.”

[There are two more chances left.]

Suho opened his mouth again listening to Yongje’s words.

“Get up.”

Ting!

[Shadow extraction failed.]

[There is one more chance left.]

“….”

Suho’s eyes gazed intently at Siddharth Bachchan’s shadow which was constantly flickering.

Seeing Guardian failing again Dragon Emperor Antares raised his eyebrows again.

“With this I know one thing for sure. “You were just born as the son of the Shadow Lord and you are far inferior to the Shadow Lord.”

[Keeeeek! Who dares to judge whom? Solord please don’t be deceived by such an obvious provocation! How dare you mock someone with such an obvious statement that it is not worth worrying about! If the gap in ability level with the original extraction target is too large extraction may fail.]

“….”

Why?

Ver who is stopping him from the side looks more disgusting than Yongje who is making fun of him in front of him.

‘It’s a gap in ability…’

Suho himself knew very well what those words meant.

I had no intention of making a fuss.

‘The reason I was able to kill this guy was purely because of the heart that the Dragon Emperor gave me.’

In a way it would be natural for Siddharth Bachchan who was reduced to a black charcoal by the Dragon Emperor’s heart to not want to acknowledge Suho.

but.

What can I do if I don’t admit it?

There is only one truth.

‘I have earned the qualifications of a dragon emperor.’

It is a reward earned after overcoming the trials of the Dragon Emperor fairly.

therefore.

Exciting! Exciting!

Suho’s hand was placed on his chest.

Feeling the strong beating of the ‘Heart of the Dragon Emperor’ conveyed within him Suho gave a final command to Siddharth Bachchan.

Extremely proud and arrogant.

“Get up.”

Grumble!

At that moment Siddharth Bachchan’s soul cried out along with the warm energy rising from the dragon emperor’s heart.

Kaaaaaa-!

I son of the great Shadow Lord and worthy of the Dragon Lord command.

Get up and bow down.

A half-dragon who wanted to become a dragon himself.

“Your name will be ‘Sita’ from now on.”

Tiring!

[Shadow extraction was successful.]

Shwaaaaaaaaaaaa!

A pitch-black shadow sweeps fiercely over the charred ashes.

The shadows tangled together and a pair of black wings resembling dragons spread wide.

Wyvern and Naga a giant shadow dragon race with black vapor wafting from their whole body half mixed with real dragon race and half human form.

The energy emanating from his entire body had a power that was on a different level from that of any other shadow dragon race so far.

[Sita Lv.1]

general rank

[I answer the call. Noble one.]

Sita bows in front of Suho with the utmost dignity with her magnificent wings hanging down on the floor.

Hot flames were burning along his entire body.
