Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 235



Episode 235

[Even if the wound heals the scar remains. It was a place where a dimensional gap had once opened so I followed its traces and made a path.]

The instance dungeons Harmakan had created so far did not require keys but this was an exception.

While the instance dungeon so far was a hidden space centered around Harmakan the current case was a spell that re-opened the scar by following the scar left on the wall of the dimension.

Tsupot!

Suho held out the golden key handed over to him by Harmacan towards Exit 3 of Hapjeong Station.

Paaaaaa!

At that moment the air trembled around the key the energy of mana swirled and the wall of the dimension was forcibly split.

“Crab gate?!”

At that sight Seo Ji-woo’s eyes widened as if they were torn apart.

oh my god! It was a real gate!

‘what? What is it really?! ‘Is this possible?’

I’ve already been surprised so many times today that my heart aches.

A gate suddenly appeared in a space where there was nothing!

Seo Ji-woo who had witnessed an unbelievable sight before her eyes looked at Su-ho and Harma Khan alternately covering her wide-open mouth with both hands.

“Hunter Seongsu-ho Seo…. You really….”

“Now then shall we go in?”

“Hyung.”

Seo Ji-woo decided to give up thinking when she saw Su-ho looking at her with a carefree face after committing an unthinkable act.

Stride.

Suho took the first step towards the gate and when his figure half disappeared in thin air.

Only then did Seo Ji-woo suddenly come to his senses and urgently screamed.

“Now wait a minute! “I didn’t know this would happen and I didn’t even bring a weapon…!”

[Just go in. You won’t be going out anyway.]

Tuk.

“…!”

At that time Harmakan pushed Seo Ji-woo’s back from behind and Seo Ji-woo ended up following Su-ho into the gate without realizing it.

Whoa!

“…!”

With just one step a different world opened up in front of Seo Ji-woo.

[You have entered the instance dungeon.]

At that moment a message appeared in front of Su-ho but Seo Ji-woo could not see it.

Instead all Seo Ji-woo could see was the gloomy scenery of Hapjeong Station which had turned into a jungle.

Whioooooo-

“….”

Vines were sprawling across the walls and there was a musty smell from rotting corpses.

A chilling wind like the howling of a ghost was blowing from afar.

Seo Ji-woo suddenly looked back.

Boom boom!

“Did a wall… appear?”

An invisible wall is pounding.

It was creepy to see that beyond the wall was a peaceful world outside still bathed in warm sunlight.

It seemed like this place and the other side were different spaces.

I tried to force myself to get out but it was impossible.

Harmacan spoke to Seo Ji-woo in a dull machine-like tone.

[Give up. To exit this dungeon you must defeat the boss mob or use a hearthstone.]

Then he pointed at himself with his thumb and grinned meaningfully.

[For reference the boss mob is me.]

“….”

While everything was confusing I felt like I knew at least one thing for sure.

Aside from its appearance this summoned beast seemed to have a very bad personality.

No correct me.

[Keeeeek! What a slow person you are! Are you going to make the small lord wait!]

“….”

This ant pet is cute in appearance but its personality is extremely bad.

[Keeeeeeek! Why can’t I move quickly?]

“Okay I got it.”

In the end Seo Ji-woo couldn’t resist Ber’s urging and walked carefully behind Su-ho who was already going down the stairs in front of her.

However even an S-class hunter was not without fear of the unknown.

Gulp.

The sight of the Hapjeong Station dungeon which began in earnest from the moment I came down the stairs made me swallow my dry saliva.

As I passed the restroom and went inside I saw an underground shopping mall.

The stores were old and broken reminiscent of ruins.

Looking at the abandoned stores and deserted passageways under the dim fluorescent lighting gave me a gloomy feeling.

Tiding tiding.

A few fluorescent lights flickered as if they had reached the end of their lifespan.

Seo Ji-woo followed Su-ho stepping on the weeds that had grown thickly on the broken tiles and was busy looking around with a gloomy expression.

‘…This is my first time in a dungeon like this.’

Unlike regular dungeons that lead to another dimension it seemed like the entire Hapjeong Station had become a dungeon.

‘I can’t believe something like this is possible….’

Seo Ji-woo has met a variety of S-class hunters but this was her first time meeting someone like Seong Su-ho.

The more I know the more I can’t see the bottom of Seongsu Lake.

Seo Ji-woo followed closely by Su-ho’s side and asked with an anxious expression.

“Hunter Seong Su-ho what are you doing here now?”

Regardless of the age difference now respectful words have started to come out of our mouths naturally.

Suho answered searching his surroundings with calm eyes.

“I created a dungeon so I’m trying to find a double dungeon in it. “You said you didn’t conquer the double dungeon at the time so there’s a chance it’s still here somewhere.”

“…okay.”

It’s easier said than done.

In order to find the double dungeon I created the dungeon first.

However there was a logic that was difficult to follow with Seo Ji-woo’s common sense.

“But this is a completely different dungeon than the dungeon that my colleagues and I conquered. Still does the double dungeon I discovered exist here?”

“So I’m going to check that now.”

Harmacan answered Suho’s words confidently.

[There is ample possibility. Even though this place is different it is a place created along the scars of the dimension so if there are traces of a gap in the dimension it would be a double dungeon.]

And there was one more reason why Harmakan was confident.

In this dungeon that Harmakan created himself he senses a presence unknown to him.

Creepy!

“…!”

While there was silence everywhere I suddenly felt gazes from somewhere.

Damn it!

At that moment Seo Ji-woo’s appearance which had been flustered and embarrassed until now disappeared and only the sharp eyes of an S-class hunter took its place.

“Over there!”

The moment I immediately caught the sign.

Seo Ji-woo’s new form stretched straight forward with an afterimage that seemed to lengthen like a taffy stick.

Boom!

Even without a weapon in hand the body of an S-class hunter is already a weapon of war in itself.

Qarring!

Seo Ji-woo’s fist collapsed the wall and in order to confirm the identity of the ‘guy’ hiding behind it he grabbed his neck rather than killing him.

The guy struggled to escape from that hand but it was too much for him to handle Seo Ji-woo’s mighty strength.

“Kkekekekeke…!”

“What is this?”

However there is something strange about its appearance.

After catching it Seo Ji-woo’s eyes widened as she belatedly saw the beast’s appearance.

It was then.

Wow!

The window of the clothing store behind Suho broke and other guys jumped out of it.

“Kikkekeke!”

“Gerrrrrrrr!”

Hiss!

Blue poison glistens from the tip of the sharp thorn that attacks Suho’s back at incredible speed.

[The Lord of Plague the king of bugs is appetizing.]

Quresha opened her eyes.

However it only reacted to the poison not that the one that attacked was actually a bug.

“What are these guys?”

Instead of countering the attack Suho lightly raised his hand and grabbed the air.

‘The power of the ruler’

Stand tall!

“What?!”

The unidentified monsters that were attacking Su-ho were struggling in the air as if caught in a snare.

Suho checked the appearance of the guys who were caught by an invisible hand and couldn’t move and called Harmakan with an expression of interest.

“Harmacan what are these?”

[Interesting. This is not a demon I created.]

Harmakan responded his eyes flashing.

Ber chewed them all up and spat them out.

[The taste is terrible. It doesn’t seem like it’s a proper witch to begin with.]

“It looks like it.”

“Kkeekkeekkeok!”

The appearance of the magical beasts that suddenly appeared was bizarre.

Suho frowned.

What should we really call this?

“plant?”

A doll with purple vines tangled like tentacles.

Or should I say it’s a finished doll?

Some had multiple legs like an octopus while others had forked tentacles like grass roots.

In a word a mess.

The only thing they had in common was that what appeared to be their heads were covered with skulls that looked like human skulls like helmets.

[??]

Even the system that always told Suho the names of the demon beasts seemed to be unable to understand them as name tags full of question marks appeared above their heads.

“Is this a plant that imitates a skeleton? Or are they the ones that sprouted from the skull?”

What should we really call this?

In times like this it’s definitely a chance.

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

Ragna appeared above the guardian’s shadow with his arms crossed solemnly.

“Ask anything.”

“Are these Antares the buds of nightmares?”

“No these are just nameless weeds. “Not every weed has a name.”

“Then is it true that they are the ones who came from the sea of ​​the afterlife?”

“It will be right. “There are no such people among the residents of Honse who were born like this in the first place.”

‘Residents living alone’

This was a term referring to ordinary demonic beasts that had appeared on Earth that is residents of another dimension ruled by monarchs.

However it was the first time that Yongje who had directly ruled the realm for a long time had demonic beasts that looked like this.

“These guys don’t have any special names and their appearances are arbitrary. “We just call these people ‘inhabitants of the niche.’”

“Residents of the gap?”

Suho tilted his head at the expression he was hearing for the first time.

Antares explained with a shrug.

“Actually as they say they are residents but you can just think of them as dimensional trash wandering through the gaps in the dimension.”

“Dimensional trash?”

“No. It would be more accurate to say “remnants” rather than “garbage.” “Literally these guys are not creations made by the Absolute but are just leftovers that the Absolute made and discarded.”

Keekkeekkeek!

Did you understand what Antares said?

At those words the weeds that were being held by Suho trembled and screamed.

“I think I’m angry at what you said.”

“Angry? That’s a funny thing to say. “It’s impossible for these things to feel emotions in the first place.”

Antares snorted at Suho’s words as if they were absurd.

He then looked at the weeds wriggling around with a look of insignificance and continued speaking.

“These things have no reason and no soul. “Because they became creatures the hungry ghosts that wander through the gaps with only the instinct to covet life force are the inhabitants of the gaps.”

Wow! Kekekeke!

The hollow cries of soulless weeds were echoing throughout the instance dungeon created by Harmakan.

Antares looked around and raised the corners of his mouth.

“Anyway there must be a hole somewhere in this dimension through which these weeds flowed. “A place humans call a double dungeon.”

But it didn’t seem like it would be that easy to find that place.

If these weeds had souls it would be enough to turn them into shadow soldiers and have them guide them but it was impossible to extract shadows from the scum without souls.

But there was always a way.

“…Why are you looking at me like that?”

Seo Ji-woo suddenly felt strong.

Before he knew it everyone’s eyes were openly looking at him.

Not only the Guardian and Dragon Lord Harmacan and Ver…

Even the weeds that were caught.

The black eye sockets of the skulls worn by the weeds were turning their heads and staring intently at Seo Ji-woo.

Seo Ji-woo was able to instinctively sense what her role was.

“Am I… bait?”

Nod.

Dragon Emperor Antares who happened to make eye contact with Seo Ji-woo nodded with a solemn face.

“Nightmare Bud is the greediest of all weeds. “If it’s the prey they missed it’s a mouth-watering bait for the residents in the gap.”

And Harmacan who was standing reliably behind the dragon emperor was also smiling wickedly at Seo Ji-woo.

[So I told you from the beginning. You’re not going to come forward anyway.]

“Hey…!”

It was then.

Thanks to my talent…!

Before we knew it the Hapjeong Station dungeon began to be covered with numerous weeds that appeared from all directions targeting Seo Ji-woo.

At the same time hot flames wrapped around Suho’s fist.

Grumble!

Kwakwauk!

The black flame that started from the Dragon Emperor’s heart flew like a whip and instantly burned the weeds in the gap.

Suho’s eyes shined brightly in the flames.

“Everyone protect Hunter Seo Ji-woo! “From now on we will track where these guys are coming from!”

[I will carry out your command! Kieeeeek-!]

Vert burst into laughter at the corners of his mouth and soared up behind Suho who was running ahead.

And suddenly.

“Kwaaaah?!”

Harmacan said carrying Seo Ji-woo around.

[Don’t worry. I will protect you until the end.]

“I-that’s why I said I would bring a weapon…!”

[Hehe what a hassle.]

Harmakan the warchief of the demon race and the master of the instance dungeon.

He spoke firmly befitting the boss mob of this dungeon.

[Variables are not tolerated. Just think of it as being kidnapped.]

“…!”

He was a perfectionist.
