Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 282



Episode 282

An emergency order was issued in the city.

Aaaaaaa!

“What?!”

“Are those debtors crazy?”

“Why are they acting like that all of a sudden?”

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!

Just one day.

The paradise city which had been peaceful until last night was suddenly filled with chaos in just one day.

The mayors were making a lot of noise this morning.

This time the debtors suddenly engulfed in madness joined forces and began charging into the bank at once.

Flash-

Wow!

The spirit of the debtors each wielding a weapon and spewing out magical power was brutal.

Around their necks were credit chokers that were still restricting them.

And even at this moment the flashing LED numbers on the choker were counting and interest was being added little by little.

“Aren’t those things worth your life?”

“Know when the bomb will explode in your neck!”

The citizens of the city who saw the scene could not help but be embarrassed.

But they also knew.

Credit chokers do not explode at any time.

It only explodes when debt cannot be repaid.

It was a device that no bank no matter how powerful could blow up at will as long as interest was paid on time.

Those debt collectors are probably well aware of this fact so they feel free to attack the bank like that.

But even if I knew that clearly why couldn’t I do that until now?

Of course it is because they are scary.

To be more precise.

“Aren’t the fruits of bankers scary?”

In this land where healers are lacking the group called Bank which holds a lot of the fruits of Alfheim is truly invincible.

In the first place how do you fight against people who quickly recover from exhaustion and are completely cured from injury by eating only the fruits piled up in the warehouse?

In particular it was the bank employees who became literally immortal when they made such a decision and fought a defensive battle while protecting the bank.

Of course if you keep fighting you might win somehow.

All we have to do is push through with greater power and quantity.

But what would be left?

If you got injured in battle that was a problem.

But there was a more fundamental problem.

“If the bank disappears where will I repay my debt?”

That’s right.

Just because banks disappear doesn’t mean debt disappears.

Rather there will be no place to repay the debt so the interest will increase over time.

And boom!

…In the end everyone’s head will explode and they will die.

but.

“…That sounds fun?”

Someone muttered.

The citizens next to them also raised their eyebrows one by one and began to watch from afar the battle between the creditors and bankers who had turned into rioters.

That’s right.

To begin with this is a city of villains.

If these people were good people who cared about the lives of their debtors they would never have been chased by the association and fled to North Korea in the first place.

“hey! “Cheer up!”

“You’re pushed there!”

“Hold on like a fool!”

Before they knew it there were even citizens cheering for their reckless driving.

But I didn’t really want them to win.

Quack!

“Fuha! “One guy is dead!”

“How stupid! “You should have blocked the choker first not the leg!”

Laughter breaks out here and there at someone’s death.

From the beginning debt collectors had a fatal weakness.

It’s a choker.

The choker explodes immediately if you try to take it off forcibly or if it receives external shock beyond a certain level.

Bankers who knew this fact were attacking the debtors’ chokers whenever they found an opening.

It was a very wise decision to overcome overwhelming numerical inferiority.

Then suddenly while the citizens were watching they began to realize something strange.

“huh?”

“Why are bankers hurt…?”

As time passed injuries were accumulating on the bankers’ bodies.

Despite this no one left behind to eat the fruit.

“Wait a minute is that really possible?”

“Was the rumor true?”

Citizens’ eyes changed.

Debt collectors who had already been left with debt and poison for a long time turned into rioters as soon as they heard the ‘rumor’ but for citizens without debt the speed at which the rumor spread was relatively slow.

Doubtful.

There was no reason for citizens to suddenly become bank robbers just because they heard a rumor that the bank’s warehouse was depleted of fruit.

But what if the rumor was true?

“…If a child says something like this the words are a little different.”

licking.

“I know. “Hehe.”

Citizens who had been watching with their arms folded began to swallow their saliva one by one.

“If the rumor is true should I take a peek?”

“I think they are slowly getting tired of each other….”

There is no one in this city who hates money.

Even if you are not in debt the more money you have the better.

And what if the bank fails?

This is actually a good thing for ordinary citizens who are not in debt.

“Even if this city collapses the bailiffs will build another city.”

“It is much more profitable if you just take the money and move to another city.”

Gooooooo!

To make matters worse.

In the end even citizens who had no debt ended up becoming rioters.

This was very unfortunate news for bankers who were increasingly tired of dealing with debt collectors.

“Did these people collectively take drugs?”

“Why are they being like this today?”

The bankers gritted their teeth and pulled up all their strength.

Fortunately they also had a last resort against the mob.

The ability to raise the energy of the fruit they have eaten so far!

This is the moment I witnessed the bank president killing the vice president.

It was like an instinct that I realized on my own even though no one taught me anything.

Kwasik!

The bankers’ hands penetrated the chests of dead debtors and grabbed their hearts.

Jwaaaaaaak!

Then through his fingers he absorbed the power of the fruit that the debtors who had accumulated in his heart had consumed during his lifetime.

Just like the roots of a tree absorb nutrients from the surroundings.

Wow!

“Keuok. it’s good. “Is this really happening?”

“Write it. “This bastard has only eaten five berries so far right?”

He was even able to guess the exact number of fruits the debtor ate.

And the wounds accumulated on the bankers’ bodies were healed in proportion to the number.

Then the remaining energy even amplified their power more than usual.

The bankers laughed as they looked at their fingers which had become hard and writhing like tree roots.

Even if it looks like this it doesn’t kill the effect.

“What is that?”

The eyes of those who were attacking the bank widened as they saw the strangely transformed appearance of the bank employees.

But the embarrassment only lasts for a moment.

To begin with is there anyone who lives in this city and hasn’t eaten even a single fruit?

Now not only bankers but also other citizens have instinctively realized the capabilities they possess.

“Oh that one. “I think I can do that too right?”

“me too.”

Flash.

Lee Chae appeared in the eyes of the debtors who were attacking the bankers.

And without any hesitation they scattered around tearing open the chests of the dead bodies nearby and grabbing their hearts.

Jwaaaaaaak!

“Kya! “It really works right?”

“Is this killing me? “It’s more efficient than fruit!”

Those who joined the war late shivered from the immense sense of elation that filled them as soon as they sucked the power of the fruit perhaps because they had no accumulated wounds on their bodies.

The power of the highly concentrated fruit was fully felt within the body.

And I realized a truth I should never know.

“Haha! what’s this? “I was an asshole because I paid money to buy fruit and eat it…”

Phew!

“I know.”

“…?!”

The man’s eyes who had been laughing out of excitement widened and his body stiffened.

Before he knew it the woman’s hand had secretly reached behind his back pierced his back and grabbed his heart.

Jwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The woman sucked the power of the fruit from the man’s heart and whispered devilishly into his ear.

“You’ve been going through all this trouble just to make money when you can just kill anyone like this right?”

“You you…!”

The man died on the spot unable to continue speaking with his heart held in the woman’s hand.

The bank employees who saw the whole scene sighed.

It was truly a catastrophe.

“…When the bank president comes back we will all be dead.”

“If this continues the bailiff might come within today.”

“Would you rather run away now?”

Those who said these words out loud were rather lacking in execution skills.

Wow!

The bank employees who were already alert quickly entered the bank and swept up the money before running away.

Even if another city was created by the bailiffs this coin would have the same value in the new city.

And there was someone quietly watching all this from afar.

Harvester Haseul.

Haseul liked the city no matter what happened.

Because there is something very important left to do now.

Strawberry cake.

This means that there is finally only one piece of cake left that I bought at the market this morning.

It was important from now on.

Should I eat the strawberry on top of the whipped cream first?

Or should I save the strawberries until last and eat them in one bite at the last moment?

…Gulp.

Haseul who had been staring at the last remaining strawberry cake with such serious eyes for a while and swallowing her saliva finally made up her mind.

It’s a waste so let’s eat tomorrow.

And in an effort to divert attention he decided to carry out his own mission first.

Whilick.

Haseul was holding a strawberry cake in one hand and a huge scythe in the other slung over her shoulder.

Jumped onto the building.

No one could spot Haseul’s presence due to her agile movements.

So Haseul went into a dark alley where no one was around and took out the walkie-talkie she had hidden.

Chijijik-

After a while the radio was turned on and he put it to his lips and calmly relayed the situation in the city.

“Report. This is the shadow of paradise. An unexpected event occurred. Riots broke out in the city. This is due to a villain named ‘Ber’ who first arrived in the city yesterday…”

-Phew!

“…?”

Haseul tilted her head for a moment at the noise coming from the other side of the radio.

But soon the voice of the association’s president Woo Jin-cheol was heard.

– Are you saying that ‘Ber’ has appeared there now?

For a moment Haseul’s ears perked up.

Is it because of my mood?

There was a slight hint of laughter in the voice of the association president Woo Jin-cheol.

Haseul thought about what she reported for a moment and answered faithfully.

“yes. Of course it’s probably just a pseudonym made up randomly so it doesn’t mean much…”

-no. It makes sense. This is information that means a lot to me. Thank you so much for sharing.

“…?”

Haseul became even more puzzled by the answer she received.

It’s not a city riot it’s just an alias for a villain.

Is this worth it?

I can’t even guess why…

It was then.

[Was it you?]

Creepy!

Suddenly a voice came from behind Haseul.

I got goosebumps.

An opponent who can deceive one’s senses and come close to you!

Wow!

Although she was shocked on the inside Haseul’s body was already wielding the weapon according to the survival instinct that was ingrained in her.

Ku-kwa-kwang!

A huge scythe cut the air in a large semicircle.

An attack powerful enough to cut straight across the wall beyond.

But surprisingly no one was there.

Like a ghost.

“Who are you?”

[Shadows are everywhere.]

“…!”

Surprisingly the answer to Haseul’s question came from beneath her feet.

When I hurriedly looked down there was a pitch-black shadow creepily emerging from under Haseul’s feet laughing with its mouth torn apart.

Looking at Haseul.

“Tsk!”

Without hesitation Haseul swung the sickle and cut down the shadow.

Flash!

Harvest Scythe.

A scythe made of foreign stone cut through the space and attacked the shadow.

but.

[It’s insignificant.]

Tuk.

“…!”

Haseul was shocked.

Your attack was blocked!

So vain!

Shuuuuk-

Surprisingly the shadow that was smiling at Haseul suddenly stretched out one of its pitch-black arms and grabbed Haseul’s scythe with two fingers.

Then starting with that arm the shadow slowly began to raise its body from the floor.

In front of that Haseul lost his will to fight.

‘What is this magical beast….’

It’s far away.

It was the first time for Haseul to feel an abyss so far away that she could not see the end.

Still the creepiest thing.

‘No sign… no sign.’

I can’t believe it.

Even though I was seeing it clearly with my eyes it was so difficult to read its presence that it was difficult to determine its location.

What a ridiculous difference in class.

[I will ask.]

black ants.

A winged humanoid ant demon with black vapor billowing from its entire body was staring intently into Haseul’s eyes with its pure white eyes narrowed.

Lightly lifting the harvest scythe held with two fingers from Haseul’s hand.

[Where did you get this weapon?]

The harvest scythe which was so large that it felt burdensome to Haseul himself… seemed like an insignificant toy to the oversized ant beast.

at that time.

“…Ber went here?”

[Kiek?]

hook.

Suddenly at the sound of someone’s voice coming from far away the presence of the guy who was completely controlling the area disappeared like a lie.

“…under?”

My blocked breathing became clear.

And when Haseul looked ahead again…

[Keeeeek! Solord!]

An ant whose size had shrunk to the size of a fist in an instant was flying out of the alley.

[Have you been unable to bear it for so long and now miss Soin?!]

…A head of an abominably cute size.

Compared to that he was dragging the harvest scythe which was relatively huge in size across the floor.
