Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 259
by Jessie@AFNCC
Episode 259
It was all Ver’s evil plan.
From the moment Suho received Kamish’s wrath as a reward.
From the moment the dagger that was Seong Jin-woo’s main weapon was finally placed in Su-ho’s hands.
[Keeeeeeek!]
Ber began to scold Yu Jin-ho as if he had been waiting.
[dagger! It’s a dagger! Do whatever you can to find the skills related to the dagger and master them!]
However Yoo Jin-ho who was caught by Ver by the collar was no longer the kid who was embarrassed in front of Ver like before.
-Leave it to me. I’ll do something.
Now with the eyes of an ever more trustworthy adult he confidently made eye contact with Ber and asked “What?”
-So what were your skills?
Of course things like Ruler’s Power and Shadow Power were impossible but other skills could be learned as long as you obtained ‘Rune Stones’.
To begin with Sung Jin-woo and Sung Su-ho are just irregulars.
It was the daily routine of all hunters on Earth to always wander around looking for rune stones.
There was no other way to become stronger than with rune stones.
As this was the reality it was natural for the price of rune stones to skyrocket.
The price was literally determined by the value and rarity of the skill.
‘Skill: Difficulty’
This skill is a top-tier skill that only a few assassin hunters around the world have and its value is a much higher level treasure than ‘Skill: Stealth’.
And these items are not even released on the market in the first place.
This was because it was much more profitable for the hunter or guild representative who obtained the runestone to learn it directly rather than sell it.
However learning any skill at once was an astronomical loss.
It is common knowledge that assassin-type skills must be learned by assassin-type hunters to be more efficient.
Therefore when a rune stone was discovered it was usually kept in the guild’s safe until a suitable person for that skill was found.
And Yoo Jin-ho ended up raiding their safe and finding what he wanted.
No correct me.

I squeezed until I found it.
– Did I tell you? If you squeeze hard it will come out eventually.
Jinho Yoo’s voice which has become even more dependable and vicious is still vivid in my ears.
[…You grew up well.]
Ber muttered words with various meanings and smiled sinisterly.
And I looked ahead.
[Use ‘Skill: Difficulty’.]
썣썄죣죣죣죣죣!
The two guardian daggers were mercilessly chopping down the enemies.
The speed grew faster and faster until it became difficult for the eyes to catch up.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!
Black traces filled the field of vision.
The bodies of the high elves were being cut off mercilessly along the trajectory.
[Do you see it my king?]
In front of that scene Ber’s voice rang faintly.
“Aaaahhh…!”
It was just beautiful.
The screams of the high elves coming from all over the place echoed like an opera.
Quack!
It’s a joke!
The thunder and thunder that struck their heads was like the sound of an angel’s trumpet.
Good luck! Sure! Grumble!
The once beautiful Elvenwood suddenly became a sea of fire with the flames of destruction.
[?? has been defeated.]
[?? has been defeated.]
[?? has been defeated.]
[?? has been defeated.]
….
[‘Blessing of Gluttony’ amplifies experience.]
[Your level has risen!]
[Your level has risen!]
…The scene of a fierce battlefield where all these things came together was like a majestic requiem and Ver burst out laughing.
[Can you hear me king!]
And then they filed a complaint.
I hope that my voice will reach Seong Jin-woo in outer space.
[Look! Your son is following the path you walked!]
To Ber all of these things were prayers and sacrifices to the king he served.

‘Skill: Nando’ was Ver’s intention to upload for Sung Jin-woo not Sung Su-ho.
at that time.
I flinch.
For a moment Ber’s antennae twitched and his eyes glared somewhere.
[…found it.]
It is only natural that battles occur during war.
However it would be difficult if you were so focused on the battle that you forgot your initial purpose.
[The energy of foreign media!]
A battle is a battle and Ber had not forgotten the purpose of Suho entering this suspicious city in the first place.
The fundamental cause of turning the area into a field-type dungeon.
As Elvenwood burned the location of the energy hidden in the forest and trees was finally captured by Ber’s senses.
[Solord! I have found the gate! A total of three gates can be felt under the ground!]
There was someone who responded to Ber’s shout before Suho.
“How dare you!”
Forres gritted his teeth.
Then he stretched out his arm which had been cut in half by the guardian’s sword and wrapped around the neck of another high elf who was burning and screaming next to him.
Quad Deuk!
…?!
Like when you take an apple off a tree branch.
Forres lightly broke the neck of his compatriot and pulled out his head.
Then something surprising happened.
Shwaaagh!
The spirits contained within burst out like a fountain through the throat of the high elf whose head was pulled out.
Just like when you shake a bottle of Coke and take the cap off.
Numerous spirits erupted outward as if exploding and began to swirl around Forres’ entire body climbing his arms.
Kwasik! Kwasik!
Then the other high elves who were fighting with Suho also began to follow Fores.
He directly tore apart the corpses of his compatriots whose shells had been damaged by the guardian’s attack and sucked in the spirits contained within them.
Gooooooooo!
Then the bodies of the high elves here and there grew bigger and swelled at an incredible speed.
It looked like a huge old tree that resembled an elf.
“Three worlds…!”
It was a sight that might seem beautiful at first glance but at least not in the eyes of the elf Sirka.
It was so horrible that it made me nauseous.
“I can’t believe it wasn’t one! “How many spirits can fit into one body!”
“Heh heh. It’s a young elf. What are you so afraid of? “Didn’t you know that we had this kind of relationship with you elves anyway?”
Forres’s grinning smile was strangely twisted as he looked down at Sirca’s shocked appearance.
As a fellow elf I was horrified.
‘That’s not an elf.’
He no ‘they’ was something imitating an elf.
Now I finally understand.
There would have been no need for them to have eyes in the first place.
Countless eyes were already packed inside their bodies peeking out into the world.
It’s so full that even if a small hole is made it will pop out!
‘That’s a high elf?’
If such a terrible thing were a high elf then I was absolutely out of luck.
When Sirka remembered her desire to become a high elf even for a moment she became fed up.
“Suho! These guys are a colony of spirits! “It’s much worse than the ice golems we saw in the Echo Forest…!”
“How dare you compare us to something like an ice golem!”
Wow!
“…!”
Are you offended by Sirka’s words?
Enraged Fores’ huge palm tore through the wind and fell vertically from the sky.
bang-!
A hideous palm filled with the eyes of countless spirits struck Sirka as if catching an insect.
But fortunately there were two black shadow soldiers who stood up in front of Sirka at the right time.
[…hmm. Is it like this?]
[It’s easy.]
Grid and iron.
Armed with large shields and full body armor they stood side by side and blocked Forres’ palms.
Sirka’s eyes widened as she looked at that reassuring figure behind her.
For reference Grid and Iron are the high priests and priests of the Foreign God Church until recently.
In their eyes the sight of the high elves being eaten by spirits felt a little different.
[Still the idea of putting foreign news stones in the eyes is a bit novel. If you do this do you see something a little different?]
[Instead of losing your eyesight maybe you can see the foreign media directly?]
Wow!
Meanwhile as Forres grew larger an enormous amount of pressure was pressing down on the grid and iron.
“Sirca! Freeze it!”
Sirka suddenly came to her senses at the sound of Guardian’s shout that came at the right time and exercised ‘Bevere Protection of the Cold’.
Hwioo- blah blah!
Then a harsh snowstorm came and froze Forres’ hands and arms.
At that moment Suho flew over to the frost-covered forearm and slashed his sword.
Kkjjik! Damn it!
When the blazing sword collided with the rapidly frozen tree Fores’ arm was instantly broken.
[It’s no use!]
Whiwaaagh!
At that moment numerous spirits came out from the broken arm shouted in one voice and attacked Suho’s body at once.
Elvenwood where the forest is burning and lightning strikes.
But despite that they still had a reason to smile.
[we are!]
[I won’t die!]
Shwaaagh!
“Suho!”
Cha Hae-in who was fighting with the trees urgently ran towards him shouting at the sight of Su-ho being devoured by numerous spirits.
[Solord-!]
Ber was also the flagship and flew towards Suho.
At the center the spirits whispered in unison in Suho’s ears.
[Hehe. If you put a foreign news stone in your eye you might be able to see foreign news?]
They were laughing at what Grid and Iron had said.
[Can’t you think of the opposite?]
‘The opposite? no way?’
At those words Suho realized an important fact.
“It’s impossible for foreign media to see this through your eyes…”
Shwaaagh!
At that moment the spirits scattered in all directions and attacked Suho.
Good luck!
The dark red shadow that enveloped Suho’s entire body repelled them.
Then the spirits immediately changed direction and chose the next best option.
It’s Sirka.
A blood relative of Silad the king of the Ice Elves.
[It’s a young elf.]
[I’ll give you a chance.]
[Let’s become one with us.]
“…?!”
Shwaaagh!
Sirka’s pupils dilated.
Sirka’s body froze in front of all the strange things coming towards her.
But then.
It wasn’t Sirka’s name that came out of Suho’s mouth as he urgently reached out for Sirka.
“Silard!”
That moment.
[‘Skill: Unknown’ is activated.]
Flash!
Suho’s spirit who barely managed to hold onto Sirka’s hand fell down.
* * *
Distant darkness.
Or somewhere in a halo of light.
In the midst of it all Suho’s spirit was trapped in the whirling storm.
However despite being tossed around in the storm Suho just closed his eyes peacefully.
[…The ice elf warriors who were deployed in the Lord’s War a long time ago were always followed by the ice spirit’s protection.]
A voice was heard towards Suho.
[If they hold a bow or any other weapon in their hands every attack is imbued with the ‘Curse of Severe Cold’.]
‘…Shillard?’
Eventually Suho realized the identity of the voice.
Ah it was successful.
This was the world of the Lord of the Cold the king of the Yetis.
[If you are hit by an arrow we shoot the area is frozen and if you are cut by a blade being swung no blood splatters and a bitter and cruel cold penetrates through the blood vessels in your body through the cut surface.]
But Suho still had his eyes closed.
Szilard was nowhere to be seen.
Only his calm voice was telling Suho a story from the past.
[As the attacks continued to accumulate the opponent eventually gradually froze to death. Everyone was afraid of us. …But this is after all a story about elf warriors who use elemental magic. On the contrary the words of the elves who were eaten by the spirits were terrible.]
Suho suddenly remembered something.
Elves possessed by spirits have already fought in the Ice Elf Sanctuary on Facade Island.
At that time Eshil said he clicked his tongue as soon as he saw them.
-That’s a shame. The Yetis were eaten by an ice spirit? How weak were they when they were alive?
The elves who specialize in elemental magic rather than using the spirits they actually get their souls eaten.
Isn’t this a truly absurd situation?
But things are very different now than then.
Szilard’s voice continued to be heard.
[At least the high elves here in Elvenwood were not eaten by the spirits because they were weak. Rather he must have accepted the spirits by his own choice in order to become even stronger.]
‘….’
Suho trapped in the storm finally opened his eyes.
Beyond that I could see Szilard’s figure.
[Perhaps their original purpose was to accept the ‘primordial darkness’ rather than the spirits into their bodies. Because only then can one become a monarch. But in order to do that we would first have to find out where the darkness of the beginning was.]
Silad’s expression as he looked at the storm that engulfed Suho… seemed a little bitter.
No matter how you look at it this was not normal elemental magic.
[Foreign news seats? You put such a suspicious object in your eye. Even those idiots would never have done something like this. It must have been someone who bewitched them and forced them to do it.]
Wow-
When Silad stretched out his hand a pure white wind swirled and permeated the storm that engulfed Suho.
And when Silad grabbed his hand again the will of someone who had been swept away in the storm bloomed into a small ice flower.
Looking at that shabby ice flower Silad clicked his tongue.
[It’s been a while Forres. My tough villain.]
[….]
When there was no answer anger slowly grew on Szilard’s face.
[Say. Who are the people who put you in this fishbowl and raised you?]
