Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 249

Episode 249
Suho was thrilled.
“crazy.”
Experience is tripled?
I was dizzy with the unimaginable reward.
“Esil.”
Suho put his hand on Esil’s shoulder and looked into Esil’s eyes with hot eyes.
“I really congratulate you on becoming king. “We are together forever.”
“Master…!”
Sincerity communicates.
At Suho’s words Esil also shed tears with an expression of extreme emotion and joy.
Isn’t that so?
He was a failure who had already failed the succession ceremony once due to lack of qualifications.
An unqualified person was a criminal who dared to become king.
As punishment for his sins instead of becoming a king he was destined to be sucked into the primordial darkness and eaten by Nidhogg.
However it was Su-ho who suddenly appeared and turned the whole fate upside down.
It was Su-ho who forcibly lifted his soul a failure and a sinner by the collar and made him a king!
Jump up!
Esil stood up with clenched fists shedding hot tears.
“My lord! “I will do really well in the future!”
[Keeeeeeek-! What a shameless thing! I can’t believe I’m saying such an obvious thing now! How bad have you been so far!]
Ber the most senior member suddenly appeared next to me and gave an excited expression.
However Esil was a new recruit who was already well-trained.
“no! “I will do better!”
[Your voice is small!]
“More more! I will do well!”

[lack!]
It was Ber and Esil who were passionate about their loyalty and bonded with each other.
As Eshil evolved into the Demon King he became much more flashy and majestic than usual.
However his attitude was more humble and extreme than ever.
The guardian in front of him was the savior of his soul and the master he had to serve with all his life!
[Bigger!]
“I will serve you with all my heart! If you wish my body mind and soul! “I will give it my all…!”
“Okay then let’s draw blood.”
“…Muh?”
“blood.”
Suho who willingly accepted Esil’s heart was smiling brightly.
“Please donate blood.”
I was waiting for just this moment.
‘Purified Blood of the Demon King’
One of the three ingredients of the Divine Water of Life.
Now that Esil has finally become the Demon King he can draw and use the Demon King’s blood indefinitely(?).
Of course Suho knew well how important ‘blood’ was to the demon race.
However if Esil also has a conscience it is time to pay for the meal.
In fact they didn’t say it in detail until now but a lot of the money Suho earned from working as a hunter went into Esil’s food or rather meat money.
Maybe that’s actually why Eshil was given the nickname ‘Lord of Gluttony’.
Are there a lot of leaves from the World Tree that Esil ate?
Or is it just the amount of meat that he frantically ate in hopes of somehow regaining his lost strength?
By far the latter wins by a landslide.
How could it be that the owner of Suho’s local butcher shop became the owner of the building?
Even though the boss wasn’t even aware of being a hunter he made as much money as a hunter in one sitting.
He said he was a regular and even sold it to Suho at a very cheap wholesale price but that was all he said.
‘In fact it may not be gluttony but the lord of gluttony.’
Suho truly thought so.
But in any case if the results are good everything is good.
It was all an investment for this moment.
The price of meat?
It was nothing compared to the divine beast of life.
“I’ll give it to you! “If you want my blood!”
Esil responded to Suho’s first command with determined eyes.
“Purify it and give it to me.”
“yes!”
Shwaaaaak-!

[The King of Demons Lord of Gluttony uses ‘Skill: Blood Spirit.’]
Fortunately there was no need to go through the hassle of drawing blood with a syringe.
Shoo!
A fist-sized drop of blood appeared on Esil’s palm.
By nature the blood of demons is black.
However Esil had purified his blood to such a high degree that the blood essence he created was pulsing red.
The smell was even more fragrant than fishy.
Oooooh!
All the demons trembled with emotion at that wondrous sight.
“It’s blood love!”
“Blood passion!”
“After all he is the Demon King!”
“King-!”
If the nobles’ exclusive possession is ‘bloodstone’ then ‘bloodstone’ is its superior counterpart.
It was the Demon King’s unique power to highly purify the blood of demons.
There are many uses for blood tablets but for now we have focused purely on drawing blood.
Mulberry.
As if Suho had been waiting he bought a transparent glass bottle from a store window and pulled out the stopper and Esil’s blood essence flew straight through the air and was sucked into the glass bottle.
Tiring.
[‘Item: Purified Blood of the Demon King’ has been acquired.]
[Material Item: Purified Blood of the Demon King]
Difficulty of acquisition: ??
Type: Material
It is a liquid made by purifying the blood of the demon lord ‘Esil Ladir’.
It has strong magical power but its toxicity remains even after purification so to use it as medicine you need ‘World Tree Fragment’ and ‘Echo Forest Spring Water’ to neutralize the toxicity.
“This is the blood of the Demon King….”
Suho raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.
Red liquid contained in a transparent glass bottle flutters depending on the angle at which it is tilted.
If you look at it like this it looks like some kind of luxurious perfume but its value was so enormous that it could not be compared.
[Divine Beast of Life]
-ingredient
Purified Blood of the Demon King (1/1)
Fragment of the World Tree (0/1)
Echo Forest Spring (1/1)
[Keeeeek! Now there is only one ingredient left! All you need is the ‘Fragment of the World Tree’ to create the Divine Tree of Life!]
“Write. It’s a shame. “I should have brought those twigs with me somehow.”
[Kiek?]
Ber tilted his head.
In a situation where he should be happy Suho suddenly frowns and loses his appetite.
When I thought of the twigs of the World Tree falling down while Nidhogg was struggling earlier it felt like such a waste to even think about it again.
But I couldn’t afford it at the time.
As many as six gigantic heads of Nidhogg opened their mouths here and there to devour Guardian and just trying to dodge their bites and collect the leaves was very difficult.
But I needed to think positively and think again.
In fact even if you worked hard to obtain those twigs it may have been impossible to bring them into reality.
In the first place due to the ‘unknown’ skill only the mind passed into the sea of the afterlife.
Even when I think back to when I returned from the fight with Queresha not a single piece of the wings of those swarming poisonous insects came attached to Suho’s clothes.
The best thing for Suho was to win mentally.
But it’s still too early to give up.
“My lord! “Is there anything else you would like me to do?”
[This is indeed a good attitude!]
Finally Ber gave a passing grade.
Even after handing over the blood tablets to Suho Esil’s eyes were burning with a sense of duty.
When Suho saw those eyes a good idea occurred to him.
“Esil.”
Suho’s eyes sparkled.
“Is it possible to go back there again?”
“The World Tree… are you talking about?”
Eshil frowned at those words and looked back at his memories.
A tree that glowed on its own in the dark.
The impact of the World Tree was so strong that I couldn’t remember exactly what the surroundings were like.
but.
“Maybe… it might be possible.”
“Oh really?”
“yes. “My mouth is still filled with the smell of the World Tree.”
Even if I don’t remember the eyes I remember the mouth.
This was the majesty of the Lord of Gluttony who devoured enormous quantities of leaves from the World Tree.
Esil took a sip and proudly pointed to his heart with his thumb.
“And that scent still flows through my blood.”
“For some reason the smell of blood essence is fragrant. “Then what if you let other demons smell your blood too?”
“Of course….”
Sigh.
Before the words were finished Suho and Esil looked at each other and smiled meaningfully.
They noticed each other’s thoughts.
“All the demons under my command can wander the sea of the afterlife and trace the scent of the World Tree.”
Demons are sensitive to the smell of blood.
Even more so a devil who cannot remember the scent of the devil king’s blood deserves to die.
If the scent of Eshil’s blood contains the scent of the World Tree demons would be able to search for the World Tree much more effectively than the shadow soldiers who are still aimlessly wandering the sea of the afterlife.
“They are demons wandering the sea of the afterlife… There is no such thing as hell.”
It was a combination that suited strangely well.
“But is it really okay?”
The weeds that bloom in the sea of the afterlife and the inhabitants of the crevices will constantly attack to steal the bodies of the demons.
In fact the demons gathered here had just been invaded by the residents of the gap just moments ago.
The sea of the afterlife could truly be said to be the most dangerous place for demons.
but.
All of the demons gathered here were warriors who had overcome ordeals and survived.
“Devils who have overcome trials… are strong.”
On their behalf Esil dismissed Suho’s concerns with a confident expression.
“And I aspire to become even stronger than I am now.”
Gooooooo-
At Esil’s words the spirit of the surviving demons was burning quietly like a flame.
“If there is a way to become stronger than now the fundamental principle that governs the demon world is to use whatever means possible.”
But Esil has now found out.
‘Leaves of the World Tree’
“I personally confirmed that the legend that ‘Volkan the demon of greed’ evolved after eating the leaves of the World Tree is true so our demons will definitely find it wherever it is.”
To become stronger!
That one purpose will be enough.
For demons strength meant survival.
Moreover aren’t most of the demons under Esil’s commands low-level demons?
“For the survival of the demon race not just me but all demons must become stronger than they are now. So please leave it to us demons to find the World Tree from now on.”
“Then we should divide the roles.”
Since he couldn’t sacrifice the devils to the weeds Suho came up with a strategy.
“Demons track your scent shadow soldiers guard you.”
“no. We will also fight directly. “You cannot entrust your survival to others.”
“It’s the sea there. “Do you have wings?”
“…ah.”
It was Esil who forgot an important part.
When I looked back there weren’t many winged demons.
As Su-ho said even at this moment the only shadow soldiers wandering the sea of the afterlife are those with wings.
“Then fight even if you have to swim….”
“There is a better way.”
Having already visited the Sea of Death twice Suho brought up an idea he had been thinking about.
“Building a boat.”
…!
“A battleship that weeds can’t touch.”
Esil’s eyes widened at the unexpected words.
