Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 219



Episode 219

wee.

It felt like time had stopped.

Patter.

Blue blood and pieces of internal organs were pouring down like rain from the sky.

The unrealistic scene was being broadcast around the world in real time but it was so shocking that no one dared to speak up first.

What was a ‘giant demon beast’ just moments ago had burst like a balloon due to overwhelming power.

-?

After a while the frozen chat window started moving again.

-??

-??

-???

From that point on countless question marks started popping up like crazy in chat windows around the world.

The chat window was filled with only question marks because the sight was so shocking that my mind couldn’t move properly.

In the meantime someone managed to type out the correct sentence.

-Who is that person?

The Chinese government which was in charge of the live broadcast was also unable to escape the chaos.

“Who on earth is that hunter?”

“We’re figuring it out right now!”

“Of course it’s our people right? I guess so? “It will definitely have to be that way….”

The adjutant responded while sweating at the sight of his superior biting his thumbnail and muttering obsessively.

“Of course not right? “The hair color and the way you move with Liu Zhikang…”

“But why don’t we know! “If there was a stronger hunter than Liu Zhikang why didn’t we know about it?”

“We will find out as soon as possible!”

The emotions on the faces of the employees as they hurriedly typed on their keyboards and searched for the association’s data were all the same.

Nervous.

It was ominous. I was really very nervous.

‘Must be Chinese.’

‘Please you have to be a Chinese hunter.’

The reason they boldly dispatched a drone unit even violating international law was because they were confident that they would extract more value from this incident.

International law?

I was able to get over that later by making a suitable excuse.

If it didn’t work out all they had to do was offer a sincere apology and an appropriate compensation to the Indian government through a diplomat.

Instead the political advantage and great glory that the Chinese government will gain from this incident are so enormous that they cannot be expressed in monetary terms.

None other than Liu Zhikang! It was worth it to let the world know about the great performance of the strongest hunter representing China in saving India!

‘Everything was calculated to our advantage both politically and in terms of brand value!’

But something big happened.

A fatal error occurred in that perfect calculation.

“We’re in big trouble!”

Suddenly one of the employees became thoughtful and screamed.

Unfortunately what he pointed to with his trembling fingertip was not the Chinese Association’s hunter list.

Right in the chat window.

In the chat window uploaded from all over the world none other than ‘Korean’ was being translated in real time.

-Isn’t that a Korean hunter?

-Oh I see. It’s a face I’ve seen on the news.

-what? Korean?? Who is it?

-This is you right?

-(Link to related article attached)

-What is this? Immigration risk?

“…!”

Someone showed me unnecessary kindness and even posted a related link.

When I clicked on the link there was a video capture of a Class A villain incident that occurred in Korea.

Three hunters and a huge beehive.

The video capture showed three hunters soaring up with their black wings spread towards a huge beehive that had formed at the top of a high-rise building.

Two of them were Lim Tae-gyu and Baek Mi-ho whose faces were quite well-known and the other one… anyone could tell was the same person as that man who is currently in India.

“Holy shit!”

Quang!

The violent punch shattered the desk but no one here was surprised by the extent of it. Because I was already shocked enough.

It’s ruined.

Just one sentence that penetrates their heads.

‘I can’t believe he wasn’t Chinese….’

Are you saying that they will give you a dog for making porridge like this?

They tried to promote China’s powerful combat power to the world even by breaking international law but ended up promoting only the Korean hunter who showed more outstanding performance than Liu Zhikang.

He even made Liu Zikang stand out as a bridesmaid to make him stand out even more.

‘…really ruined.’

It’s dizzying.

In the future it seemed like they would have to handle a lot of work both internationally and domestically.

‘The quickest solution might be to pack your bags and flee abroad right now.’

The most perfect option came into someone’s head but they didn’t have the courage to put it into action.

* * *

“Tsk. “You are doing something useless.”

It was Liu Zhikang clicking his tongue with a disapproving expression as he looked at the drones flying overhead.

Looking at the direction the drones flew it seemed like they were sent from China.

bang!

He lightly swung his sword as if catching a fly smashing the drone that bothered him the most then approached Suho and said

“I’m sorry about this. “For no reason your face is being sold because of me.”

“It’s okay.”

Suho lightly shook off the blood from the demon beast on his fist and shrugged his shoulders as if nothing had happened.

“I recently received permission from my father.”

“Then that’s a relief.”

Strictly speaking it wasn’t my father but my father’s fantasy that allowed it but it wasn’t a big mistake.

Moreover now that he has surpassed level 100 and has become strong enough to deal with the Apostles of Italim alone from now on it is beneficial in many ways to actively search for the remnants of Italim rather than hiding his identity.

“Are you better than that?”

Suho turned his head back and checked the well-being of the hunters he rescued.

Hunters from the Indian Association bowed their heads to Suho and expressed their gratitude in English.

“Thank you.”

“Thank you for saving me.”

While saying hello the Indian hunters were a little worried about the expressions on their faces.

I’m sure they’re grateful for saving them but…

‘Honestly it’s scary.’

‘Can we see this person as someone like us?’

I know.

This was a very disrespectful feeling to the person who saved my life.

In fact no matter what the level hunters of the same rank knew each other’s hardships without even having to talk about it.

This is the ‘gaze’ you receive from everyone around you the moment you awaken your magic power.

The general public does not view hunters as the same people.

In the media hunters are always praised as the shield of humanity and all but in reality to ordinary humans hunters are no different from ‘talking demon beasts’.

In fact it was natural to feel reluctant.

Superhumans who can throw cars and knock down buildings whenever they want are living alongside citizens without a care in the world as if they were the same people.

It was unfair to the hunters who risked their lives to fight to save humanity.

Even though it was unfair there were quite a few hunters who hunted the demon beasts more diligently with the intention of making more money.

But now I completely understand.

Just like the general public who were grateful to the hunters but also looked at them with fear…

Because they were also looking at Suho that way now.

‘He was at least a class A demon.’

Even if they tried not to their eyes kept unconsciously glancing at the remains of the demonic beast that Suho had blown up with one blow.

‘Maybe it was an S-class demon….’

I couldn’t measure it properly but considering the momentary feeling of intimidation there was a possibility that it was an S-class magical beast.

However there was a superhuman standing in front of them who had blown up that enormous boss mob with one punch.

“Are you… an S-class hunter?”

Someone finally mustered up the courage to open their mouth to break the awkwardness but everyone realized that these were all useless questions.

What are you asking for?

Everyone knows that Liu Zhikang seen right across from me is a 6-star Chinese hunter.

But didn’t this man in front of me show a much more powerful performance than Liu Zhikang?

In fact S-class hunters meant those who exceeded the limits of man-made magic power meters and were judged as ‘unmeasurable’.

So even among the same S-class hunters their strength was vastly different.

However they could not be asked to fight among themselves to determine that superiority.

Then if anyone died it was a loss for the country and humanity and it was the accepted opinion in the academic world that at least one city could be blown up in the aftermath of the battle.

However when I saw an S-class hunter popping a boss mob like a balloon with one punch right in front of my eyes I immediately understood what he was saying.

‘As expected S-class hunters are amazing….’

However when Suho was asked that question the expression on his face was somewhat awkward.

Scratching.

Suho shyly scratched his cheek with his finger and opened his mouth.

Because my English skills are poor I don’t have the ability to explain every detail just the gist of it.

“I am C-level.”

“…yes?”

Confusion increased.

* * *

Suho led all the Indian hunters and brought them to Imphal.

And he entrusted them with protecting citizens not hunting demonic beasts.

The conversation became easier when Rio Singh a fellow Indian took over as interpreter.

“While our guild leader hunts the demonic beasts please stop those who enter the city.”

“We can fight too!”

“We may not have enough power but we will help!”

The hunters of the Indian Association who were suddenly treated as weak felt helpless but did not forget their duty.

But Lio Xing was adamant.

“Ah it’s okay. “Our guild leader will take care of it.”

“…?”

They just couldn’t understand.

You can clearly see the strength of Seongsuho with your own eyes but this field is too large and the number of demonic beasts is too large.

“No matter how much China’s Liu Zikang helps it will take a lot of manpower to hunt down so many of them one by one!”

“Liu Zhikang is also resting over there?”

“…yes?”

Everyone’s eyes turned to the side at Lio Xing’s words.

Liu Zhikang who was receiving attention was literally resting.

I even received a shoulder massage from Esil.

“Hmm. “I heard it’s okay.”

“It’s because I’m bored too.”

As a result everyone who interfered with Suho’s leveling up including Esil was excluded.

“…What are you really saying that you’re going to solve this on your own?”

Suho left behind the mesmerized hunters in India and walked alone towards the demonic beasts that were attacking them outside the city.

Then I suddenly looked up and glanced at the drone cameras flying in the sky.

“It’s broadcast all over the world… so it’s a little burdensome.”

[It is rather good.]

Ver’s eyes flashed as he put his face next to Suho.

The higher the original level the more experience points are needed to level up.

However Suho’s level had now become so high that he was unable to level up even though he had just killed the boss mob.

[Now if the small lord wants to level up it seems like it won’t be possible with just a few random mobs. From now on I think it would be faster to let the stronger ones come to us first.]

Suho nodded when Ber said that he should use this opportunity to show it to the Italim hiding around the world.

“okay. “Let me show you.”

That moment.

Grumble!

The magic power he received from the Dragon Emperor was seething in his body.

Whoa!

A black shadow spread out in all directions centered at the feet covering the ground.

“Everyone come out.”

Wow!

At the guardian’s command thousands of shadow legions rose up all at once.

Swirling pitch-black vapor.

…And the moment that scene was broadcast around the world.

The Chinese server exploded due to overload of the chat window.
