Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 247



Episode 247

It was truly a majestic sight.

Gurgling!

Under the thunder and lightning falling from the sky.

The sight of the Holy Guardian appearing with numerous black legions and handing the horn of the former Demon King to Esil Ladir…

It was like a solemn and grand painting reminiscent of a knight investiture ceremony.

Whiwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

And the moment when Esil accepted the ‘Horn of Paran’ with both hands.

An old demon muttered as if possessed looking at the figure suddenly engulfed in black energy.

“…A new king has been born in this land that lost its owner.”

Starting with those words all the demons fell down on the spot and began to worship regardless of who was first.

“A new king has been born!”

“King of demons!”

“Ah Esil Ladir!”

Aaaaaaa!

To the new king Esil Ladir.

Everyone was chanting Esil’s name as if they were struggling with one heart and one mind.

but.

“…Keueuuuu.”

What the devils saw and reality was completely different.

‘I’m so picky but on the contrary I get eaten…!’

The person involved Esil Radir was in a state of death.

Kuoooooooo…!

From the moment he accepted the horn of Baran that Suho handed to him without any hesitation Esil’s expression was stiff.

Baran’s horn was suddenly trying to suck him in with its enormous suction power!

Like the inhabitants of a crevice.

With the will to suck up all the nutrients contained within Esil.

‘This is the inheritance…!’

Esil instinctively realized this.

At this moment Paran’s horn was asking itself.

Do you really have what it takes to be king?

If you are not the vessel to be king.

‘On the other hand are you planning to eat me and take over my soul…!’

I see

This is the Demon King’s succession ceremony.

It was Baran’s last struggle as even his spiritual body was destroyed and scattered into the cracks.

And then.

-You are weak.

…?!

A voice filled with laughter whispered softly to Esil.

At that moment Eshil also realized his fate.

-You are not qualified.

In the end Esil’s spirit which had been gritting its teeth and resisting the suction power was helplessly sucked into a distant abyss.

Shwaaaaaaaaaaaa!

‘Aaaah…!’

* * *

How much time has passed?

‘…Aaaah!’

A bottomless pit without a bottom.

In a distant abyss where one could not even feel the passage of time Esil was falling endlessly.

I was falling like that for a while.

At the edge of my vision where I couldn’t see anything I began to see something.

At first it looked like a pale pillar.

After a while Esil finally fell to a place where I could clearly see what it was.

and.

‘…oh my god.’

All I could do in front of him was astonishment.

‘No way is this….’

Esil ended up facing it.

In the deepest and widest darkness.

A huge tree that took root and grew at the end of the sea after death.

‘World tree?’

I knew it without anyone telling me.

It was not my instinct as a devil but my memories of being a resident of the gap before that that were whispering the truth.

That is the World Tree.

That huge tree that shines on its own even in this bottomless pit is the World Tree!

‘But why?’

Eshil was puzzled.

How did his soul who failed to succeed and was eventually eaten by Baran’s horn end up in front of the World Tree like this?

No I didn’t do anything to even call it arrival.

Because even now I was still falling.

Because the size of the World Tree was so far away I couldn’t even feel it.

But I guess that was good.

The moment Esil saw the World Tree there was only one thought that came to his mind.

‘Suho!’

I had to tell Suho about this.

‘Suho! It’s here! ‘Here is the World Tree you were looking for!’

But no matter how much he shouted Esil’s voice would not come out.

Even if he made a sound there was no way his words would be heard by Suho in this dark bottomless pit.

So I decided to change my method.

‘I’ll take care of this myself!’

Esil thought.

In the first place what Suho wanted was not the location of the World Tree but the branches of the World Tree.

‘So I can cut the branches of the World Tree myself and take them!’

When that thought occurred to him the thought that suddenly came to his mind was none other than ‘Volkan.’

What was the reason that Volkan who was just a mere creature in the first place was able to evolve into a demon noble?

The world tree!

Wasn’t it because they broke off the branches of the World Tree and ate its leaves?

Maybe that’s the principle?

‘If I grab a branch of the world tree wouldn’t I be able to seize a new opportunity again? Like Volkan?’

It was a moment when the survival instinct the most basic instinct that sustains the demon race stirred within Esil.

Sigh!

Esil who was falling endlessly desperately stretched out his hand.

Toward the World Tree.

‘just a little! Just a little more!’

If you wish and wish you will move.

Esil’s soul reaching out anxiously as if it could not be reached began to move towards the World Tree little by little.

And finally.

Tuk.

The moment Esil’s fingertips touched the branches of the World Tree.

‘Gotcha…!’

Kyaaaaaaa-!

…?!

Suddenly with a roar that shook the heavens and earth a huge snake appeared wrapping around the World Tree blocking Esil’s path.

Esil hastily withdrew his outstretched hand as if it had been burned.

And when I saw the monster that appeared before my eyes I was so shocked that my soul trembled.

‘oh my god. ‘What is this again?’

Kyaaaaa!

An absurdly large snake… was wrapping around the World Tree!

A snake with as many as seven heads!

‘Could it be that they are protecting the World Tree?’

Or am I just living it?

A snake living in the sea of ​​the afterlife?

I am full of questions.

But right now Eshil had no time to resolve that question.

One of the giant snake’s heads spotted Esil and suddenly turned its head in this direction.

and.

Kyaaaaa!

It opened its mouth to eat Esil.

‘Oh no!’

The snake’s mouth wide open like a crocodile covered Esil’s entire field of vision.

Esil’s soul which was still falling could not escape and was destined to be eaten into the maw.

It was then.

Tiring!

[Passive skill ‘(Unknown)’ is activated.]

‘…!’

Esil’s eyes widened.

Suddenly he saw a broad back blocking his path.

The sharp jaw line was visible above him and he muttered.

‘…hmm. This is the first time something like this has happened.’

‘Suho Suho?!’

Suho suddenly appeared in front of him!

Esil was so surprised and moved that his mouth fell silent.

‘Did you come all this way to save me?’

‘No I was caught too.’

‘what?!’

‘First of all I am a priest.’

It was Suho who smiled and answered.

In the first place at almost the moment Esil fell into the abyss Guardian’s time also stopped.

The only difference is that Suho did not fall directly like Esil but was summoned directly in front of Esil.

‘…Really what on earth does this skill do?’

Suho looked ahead with an embarrassed expression.

Then they glared at the giant snake that was approaching with its mouth wide open to eat them.

Kyaaaaa-!

[Nidhogg]

A name tag is visible above the snake’s head.

‘It’s a snake that lives in the World Tree… I think I’ve seen a similar myth like this somewhere.’

A snake with seven heads.

[The Lord of Destruction the king of the bright dragons raises his eyebrows saying that this is the true succession ceremony.]

It was Antares who immediately responded to Suho’s words.

But Antares was not the only monarch who spoke.

[The Fang Lord the king of beasts says that this snake harbors the ‘primordial darkness’ that lost its owner.]

[The Lord of Plague the king of bugs….]

In short it’s like this.

‘This guy ate up all the primordial darkness that the monarchs spit out when they died?’

No the expression “ate it up” is incorrect.

Because it was this one who united the primordial darkness which had been split into eight pieces back into one.

The evidence is the seven heads on this snake called ‘Nidhogg’.

One primordial darkness per head.

‘Why are there 7 of them? ‘Where did Hana go?’

[The Lord of the Cold the King of the Yetis urges that now is not the time!]

right.

For now the most important thing is to survive here.

But it was already too late.

There was no place to escape in the first place.

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

In the end Nidhogg’s maw swallowed Guardian and Esil in one gulp.

But at that moment.

…Whoop?!

The snake’s tightly closed mouth bulged.

‘oh my god.’

Eshil witnessed it.

Suho… standing in front of himself with both arms raised supporting the roof of the snake’s mouth!

Crrrrr!

Nidhogg’s cries trying to crush the guardian with his strength blew through my throat like the wind.

But Suho instead curled up the corner of his mouth.

‘I’m confident if it’s a power struggle.’

It was fortunate.

It’s a shame that only the mind was sucked into this place. If the body had also been brought here wouldn’t HP have dropped in real time due to ‘debuff: death’?

But nothing could be resolved by just holding on like this.

‘Esil!’

‘Oh yeah!’

Suho shouted at Esil while supporting the roof of his mouth.

Esil was frozen in fear behind him.

This did not simply mean that he was scared but was a manifestation of the ‘debuff: fear’ effect.

But doesn’t it depend on how you use it?

‘Esil! I can’t summon shadow soldiers here! ‘We have to catch this guy together!’

‘You’re going to catch him? ‘This guy?’

‘of course.’

Smirk.

Suddenly Suho developed a strange habit.

The worse the situation the more the corners of one’s mouth rise.

This was because I learned it through experience.

The greater the risk facing you the overwhelmingly greater the reward you will receive.

therefore.

‘Wouldn’t you be able to become king if you cut off at least one head?’

Suho decided to face the ordeal with a smile.

‘It’s going to be a little… hot.’

[Use ‘Skill: Monarch’s Realm’.]

Huwaaaaagh-

A black shadow spreads out in all directions centered on Suho.

Grumble!

A dark red flame began to glow above the shadow that filled Nidhogg’s mouth.

Crrrrrrr-!

Even in the midst of this Nidhogg’s will to chew and swallow this piece was incredible.

Perhaps this level of pain may not be able to cause much damage.

Because the opponent was a guy who contained 7 primordial darkness.

But what if it were like this?

[Use ‘Debuff: Light Blood Poison.’]

Light blood poison slowly flowed from Suho.

[The Lord of Plague the king of bugs raises his eyes.]

[The Lord of Plague the king of bugs explains that light blood poison is of no use to Nidhogg.]

‘I know. ‘Who would use this for him?’

Suho grinned and chuckled at Queresha’s words.

[Poison: Light blood poison]

It is a poison that when ingested causes the blood to boil and temporarily increases strength.

However each time you use magical power you experience extreme pain and have the fatal side effect of losing blood and gradually shortening your lifespan.

‘This poison… was originally created for demons.’

No sooner had those words ended.

Behind Suho’s back.

‘Kwaaaah…!’

Esil was struggling to get up.

[‘Buff: Light Blood Poison’ is activated on Esil Ladir.]

…!

[The Lord of Plague the king of bugs opens his mouth in surprise.]

Amplification of power accompanied by pain!

Since the demon race was a race accustomed to spiritualization the effects of the light blood poison were still applied even if they were in a spiritualized state.

No in fact because it was a world like this there were things that were more possible.

Eshil’s spiritual body.

The nutrients that created the being called Esil.

As his ‘blood’ boiled his power as a demon noble was temporarily strengthened.

[Esil Ladir’s ‘Skill: Bloodstone’ evolves to ‘Skill: Bloodstone’.]

‘This power…’

Eshil himself seemed embarrassed.

But Suho instead smiled and muttered in satisfaction.

‘Have you finally woken up?’

blood pressure.

A power used by the soul of Demon King Baran.

Esil who realized this power on his own was finally qualified to become king.

‘Oh I’m a drug addict so I guess I shouldn’t have done it myself.’

Well anyway.

‘Esil.’

Suho shouted towards Esil whose soul itself was tightly compressed and refined.

‘You take charge from now on.’

‘…!’

Kwasik!

At Suho’s words Esil immediately raised both arms and took over the roof of the mouth of the snake that Suho was holding.

Then I couldn’t help but widen my eyes due to the immense pressure I felt.

I can’t believe Suho has been withstanding this absurd strength all this time!

‘I can’t last much longer!’

‘That’s enough.’

Because it only takes a moment.

Thanks to this Suho’s hands were finally free.

Wow!

Two bags of Kamish’s anger appeared in those two hands.

‘I do the cutting.’

Suho’s eyes sparkled.

[Use ‘Skill: Breath of Destruction’.]

Good luck!

That moment.

A snake wrapped around the World Tree.

One of Nidhogg’s seven heads was pierced by a beam of destruction.
