Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 230



Episode 230

[The Lord of Destruction the king of the bright dragons nods.]

It was correct.

I don’t know how Yongje knew but the identity of the tree that Seo Ji-woo desperately held on to while struggling in his dream was none other than the ‘World Tree.’

At that moment a realization flashed through Suho’s mind.

‘I understand how you reawakened. It’s the same way as Volkan.’

Suho recalled the legend about Volkan that had been told by the demons led by Esil.

‘Volkan the devil of greed’

Demons are broadly classified into two categories.

A demon with intelligence and a demon without intelligence.

Demons with intelligence do not regard non-intelligence demons as compatriots and treat them as insignificant creatures.

Among them Volkan was clearly the latter.

The lowest class who crawled servilely at the very bottom of the demon world and made a living by licking the scraps left behind by other demons.

‘A worm that wriggles with just instinct’

That was Volkan’s true identity.

But Volkan was very lucky.

Although he was born weak and lowly he continued to hide to avoid becoming prey to the strong.

The ‘end of the world tree’ was discovered quite by accident.

and.

Wow!

Volkan instinctively broke the branches of the world tree in front of him and gorged on the leaves hanging from the branches.

Then at that moment.

Wow!

Ahhh!

‘…Evolved into a demon noble.’

Suho was sure.

Volkan who ate the leaves of the World Tree and quickly evolved from the lowest-class creature to a demon noble.

And Hunter Seo Ji-woo of the Blue Dragon Guild who met the World Tree in a dream and reawakened as an S-class hunter.

In addition to achieving growth beyond limits there was one more thing in common between the two.

‘The World Tree must have had an effect.’

Suho felt like he had approached the truth of reawakening which appears with a very rare probability even throughout the world.

* * *

After a while.

When Yoo Jin-ho and the other S-class hunters left to discuss the closed beta test only Seo Ji-woo and Su-ho remained in the association gym to talk about ptosis.

After seeing that all the people around him had disappeared Suho summoned Yongje.

“Ragna.”

“Beep?”

At Suho’s call a small and cute lizard appeared from his shadow.

“No Antares. “I have something to ask.”

At that moment Ragna’s eyes which had a solemn and foolish expression shone solemnly.

[The spiritual body of ‘Antares’ appears in the priest’s body.]

Dragon Emperor Antares raised the corners of his mouth arrogantly as if he had been waiting.

“okay. Ask. “Now you have the right to ask.”

“Qualifications… I see.”

Those words reminded Suho of the advice his father’s illusion had given him last time in the world of the Dragon Emperor.

-Suho I can tell you the location of the World Tree. But the road to get there won’t be easy.

It was not only Antares who wandered through the gaps in the dimension during the war but Seong Jin-woo as well.

-But standing in front of the World Tree at your level now will only make it more dangerous. So for now build your strength first.

-Antares will tell you the rest.

With those words Seong Jin-woo’s illusion manipulated the system to create a job change quest for Su-ho’s growth and then disappeared again.

That’s how the Dragon Emperor’s trials began.

Su-ho who overcame two trials and obtained the ‘Title: Qualifications of Dragon Emperor’ now finally has the minimum qualifications to ask about the World Tree.

“Where is the World Tree?”

Suho didn’t care if Seo Ji-woo was listening to this conversation right now.

Even if I listened to it anyway there was no way I could properly understand its meaning and I thought that if I could understand something it would be helpful in some way.

However contrary to Su-ho’s thoughts only strange thoughts appeared in Seo Ji-woo’s head when he saw Su-ho picking up Ragnar to talk to the dragon emperor.

“Why are all the summoned animals so cute… hmm.”

Seo Ji-woo unconsciously tried to extend her hand forward but quickly withdrew her hand.

That’s how cute all of the summons that Suho has shown so far including Ber are.

He was so cute that it was easy to misunderstand that he was a low-level summoner before he reawakened to the combat world.

‘…But despite its appearance its momentum is unusual.’

Is this also an effect of reawakening?

Suho’s summoned beasts despite their cute appearance had an unusual spirit that emanated from them implicitly.

And unlike other summoners there was also something special about him.

It was that he could speak human language and had a certain level of intelligence.

‘Summons like this are absolutely rare. It is also strategically useful….’

While receiving Seo Ji-woo’s gaze Su-ho continued his conversation with the dragon emperor Antares.

“Where is the World Tree?”

Antares raised the corners of his mouth and answered Suho’s question.

“The World Tree is everywhere and nowhere.”

“I don’t want to hear that kind of pun.”

“It’s not a pun. “Literally.”

As Suho looked at Antares’ mischievous smile something suddenly occurred to him.

“Is it really empty? “Are you talking about a dimensional gap?”

“okay. It makes my head spin quite a bit. What do you think connects the gaps between dimensions that are so far apart in the first place? “This is exactly what the World Tree does.”

“what?”

As Suho reacted to the unexpected story Yongje continued speaking in a meaningful voice.

“The World Tree takes root in the sea of ​​​​the afterlife and its trunk spreads widely throughout the universe. And what is born from the fruits on those branches are the soldiers of heaven led by rulers.”

Suho pondered those words.

The roots are in the sea of ​​the afterlife.

The stem is all over the universe.

In the fruit the soldiers of the rulers.

‘If the rulers’ soldiers can be born from the fruit of the World Tree the evolution of Volkan who encountered the World Tree or the reawakening of Seo Ji-woo Hunter would be quite possible.’

Suho nodded in understanding.

“so? To be more precise. “What I want to hear is not the role of the World Tree but how to find the World Tree.”

“The dimensional gap is highly volatile. Even if we revisit the place where the trunk of the World Tree was previously discovered the probability of finding the same World Tree there is extremely low.”

“I guess so. If that were the case demon nobles like Volkan would have continued to be born. “Then there is only one way to find it.”

Suho eventually realized what Antares was trying to say.

“Are you saying we should look for the roots rather than the stems?”

“Yes that’s right. “Unlike the branches that extend through the gaps in the dimension it is a much more certain and convenient way to find roots in the unchanging sea of ​​the afterlife.”

Antares smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

At those words Suho’s eyes suddenly turned to Seo Jiwoo next to him and he muttered.

“Then what if I get hygrosomnia…”

“okay. If you suffer from what you humans call ptosis your soul will wander the sea of ​​the afterlife forever even if your body does not die. “Just like us.”

Antares’ expression became a little bitter as he said those words.

The expression ‘we’ he refers to.

In other words the ‘Sea of ​​Death’ was a world where dead monarchs wandered around in eternal rest.

“The sea of ​​”u200b”u200bthe afterlife is the abyss itself where the souls of the entire universe wander into nothingness. It is a spiritual universe that is deeper and darker than the shadow world ruled by the Shadow Lord. With his power the Shadow Lord can arbitrarily retrieve dead souls from the deep sea and turn them into his legions but there are some targets that his power does not work on.”

“Souls with polluted mana or the souls of monarchs.”

“okay.”

Suddenly Suho remembered the world of dead monarchs that he occasionally visited using the skill [Unknown].

A world of pure white blankness.

Dead monarchs sitting lonely in the middle of it waiting for protection.

But in the end that world was just a temporary home.

Every time Suho left there that pure white world would once again turn into deep darkness from afar.

Looking back the phenomenon was ultimately a phenomenon in which the souls of the monarchs who had opened their eyes for a moment thanks to the power of guardianship fell deep into the sea of ​​​​the afterlife where they originally came from.

“Those of us who do not have a body to return to fall into the sea of ​​the afterlife again but if like that woman our bodies remain intact there are cases where we are lucky and return alive from the sea of ​​the afterlife.”

[Solord. By using the divine water of life even people suffering from ptosis can be awakened.]

Hearing Ber’s advice just in time Su-ho realized why the World Tree was among the ingredients of the Divine Tree of Life.

In the end it was said that if we could create the divine water of life we could also cure the increasing number of patients suffering from ptosis all over the world.

But so what is the conclusion?

“okay. I understood that to find the World Tree I had to go to the Sea of ​​the Afterlife. So how do I get there?”

“method? That way when you die you can go right away. “Are you the son of the Shadow Lord and yet you’re not good at that?”

Antares chuckled.

Suho nodded indifferently and tugged at the beautiful locks of his hair.

“You useless evil spirit. “Please give back to poor Ragna and return to the sea of ​​​​the afterlife.”

“Now wait…!”

Then Antares suddenly panicked.

Beside him Ber crossed his hands in the shape of a cross with an expression of utmost reverence and sanctity his eyes shining.

[I will help you too. These days I learned how to exorcise evil spirits from movies.]

“Stop it! It was a joke! “That’s what I was just about to say!”

“Still I feel a little sorry for Ragnar.”

[I think so too. Rather gather the soldiers together and decide by voting. Whether to give Ragnar freedom or not.]

“No please listen! That’s right! It’s somnolence! “I know why that woman got somnolence!”

“What what?!”

When Antares urgently shouted and pointed to Seo Ji-woo who was next to him Seo Ji-woo’s eyes who had been quietly listening to Su-ho’s conversation next to him widened.

“Is that true? “I know why we have ptosis?!”

“It’s true! “I know for sure!”

“Give me 3 seconds.”

At Suho’s words Antares cried out desperately.

“Bud of nightmares! “I was struck by the power of the weeds that bloomed in the sea of ​​the afterlife!”

“Nightmare Bud?”
