Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 284



Episode 284

It was now fall.

Sararak-

The red maple leaves falling sloppily increased one by one eventually filling the entire sky.

[The Lord of the Cold the King of the Yetis warns that fall has arrived.]

Autumn always comes suddenly and leaves in an instant.

[The Lord of the Cold the King of the Yetis says that humans themselves brought autumn forward.]

It’s just as Szilard said.

Autumn here was particularly early.

As if time had sped up ten times the leaves that had been green only last night had suddenly turned red and were falling.

To some people this sight may seem very strange and unique.

However to those who knew even a little bit about Elvenwood it was a very horrifying sight.

Fallen leaves that had soaked up someone’s blood and turned red… couldn’t bear the weight of that blood and ended up falling because they were too heavy.

To elves fall is a sign of destruction.

This is the season when you need to evacuate quickly to avoid being eaten.

Just like all the Elvenwoods experienced by Silad the Lord of the Cold.

Alfheim which grew up in this city ended up facing the same seasons as other Elvenwoods only with a different name.

Sararak Sararak-

Red maple leaves covered the entire field of vision and gently fell on the land that was called paradise.

The ‘sign of destruction’ began over the city where the whole world was dyed red like blood.

Wow-

Shwaaagh!

“Huh?!”

“What is this?!”

Suddenly the roots of Alfheim rose up from the red-stained ground and began to attack the villains who were grabbing each other.

and.

Gulp! Gulp!

“Wow! What is this…?!”

Pointy tentacles hidden underground began poking into their bodies and sucking up nutrients to their heart’s content.

“Now wait! Stop attacking me! Alfheim is crazy now… Wow!”

Gulp! Gulp!

All the villains who were fighting frantically were scared and temporarily stopped fighting.

And Alfheim hastily tore out and cut off the tree roots that had been stuck in their bodies.

But it was already too late.

Schwak!

Sigh!

Because the entire ground was covered with red fallen leaves it was impossible to predict when and where tree roots would burst through the ground.

Even for villains with high senses this was too much.

Because these fallen leaves were not ordinary fallen leaves in the first place.

[Solord! These fallen leaves have a cognitive-impairing effect!]

Ber confirmed the reality of the fallen leaves at a glance and warned Suho.

Suho realized.

“My senses have become dull. Have these fallen leaves turned the entire city into a cognitive barrier?”

Suddenly everyone in this city was trapped in a huge cognitive barrier.

Even Suho’s senses were dulled not to mention the other villains.

They just died helplessly trapped by the tree roots that suddenly popped out from the ground.

In this way Alfheim even began to take away the power of the fruits that had been feeding them.

The problem is that Alfheim here is the biggest and tallest tree than any Elvenwood that Suho has ever seen.

The speed at which its roots absorb the villains’ power was also incredibly fast.

“Run away…! “Bwak!”

“Turn it off…!”

The villains did their best to escape from those roots but in the meantime victims were appearing one after another everywhere quickly drying up and dying like mummies.

While they were dying one by one and desperately running away.

The villains eventually faced a shocking truth.

Just like all elves did at some point.

“Until now…?”

That’s right.

Alfheim was no longer on their side.

No it wasn’t like that from the beginning.

Just food.

They finally realized that to Alfheim they were just high-quality livestock that had been raised and fattened.

Wow…!

Screams are rampant throughout the city.

Above their heads the red leaves were still falling blocking their entire view.

The scenery… was truly beautiful.

But not everyone died in vain.

Hwaaaah!

Banwol’s sword energy cuts through the air.

As the red autumn leaves swirled the image of Haseul a harvester wielding a huge scythe was revealed.

“Ha it’s Haseul!”

“The harvesters…!”

Hope appeared in the eyes of the villains who were running away helplessly.

The harvesters who had been picking fruit at the bank’s request including Haseul have begun a counterattack!

The harvesters who had to climb the tall tree trunks every day to pick the fruit skillfully dealt with Alfheim’s roots.

And the same was true for the bankers who exploited the harvesters.

Bank employees have received all their salaries as fruits.

They earned coins by reselling them but they basically ate more fruit than other citizens.

Perhaps thanks to the power of the fruit latent in their bodies they were somewhat immune to the cognitive-impairing effects produced by fallen leaves.

“Holy shit! “Run away!”

“Now wait! Before that some of those fruits…!”

Even in this urgent situation some bank employees’ eyes glowed with greed as they noticed fallen fruits mixed in among the fallen leaves that filled the floor.

Now that I have personally experienced the efficacy of the fruit the act of picking up the unclaimed fruit was like an instinct.

“Wow!”

Some bank workers died but most of them were picking up the fruits that had fallen on the floor at their discretion.

[The King of the Yetis the Lord of the Cold clicks his tongue.]

Looking at all these series of scenes Szilard felt deep regret.

In the end the fall that the elves have been experiencing has also arrived for humans.

No matter how different the race was it was never a pleasant feeling to see this little creature again.

It was then.

“…Holy shit has it started already?”

The bank manager who had crossed to another country through the gate returned to this city.

The bank president who was a bit late in seeing the city’s situation gritted his teeth.

We tried to hurry as much as possible but the Russians continued to be greedy so time was delayed.

But even so this speed was unreasonably fast.

Nothing happened until just mid-morning.

‘It’s all because of that bastard Berg!’

If only that damn newbie hadn’t entered the city yesterday this wouldn’t have happened.

But what can you do?

Once we got this far there was no way to turn back.

Just do what comes naturally.

“Haa… How did I manage to grow a new one here?”

The bank president washed his face dry with both hands and sighed as if he was truly annoyed.

Then he started stuffing all the fruits he had bought in Russia into his mouth.

There were quite a few berries but instead of chewing them I just chugged them down my throat.

As time went on the bank president’s body gradually changed.

The entire skin was covered with hard bark like a dry old tree and all the muscles and muscle fibers that made up the human body were split like tree trunks.

“Bank president…!”

The bank employees belatedly noticed the return of the bank president and flocked to welcome him.

The bank manager who had already completely lost his human form ordered them with inorganic eyes.

“This place is open. “Let’s leave quickly.”

“Before that let’s get some fruits… Ugh!”

Deeply-

The bank president stabbed the heart of an employee who dared to vomit at his words and continued with a frowning expression.

“Shut up and leave right away. If the executioners show up like this it’ll all be over… Oh fuck.”

At that moment an ominous feeling came over me.

The bank president quickly raised his head and looked above his head.

And then there… all the fallen leaves had fallen and five fruits were bulging on the bare branches of Alfheim.

“What is that?”

“fruit?”

The eyes of the bank employees who followed the bank president up looked wide.

The size and shape are completely different from the Alfheim fruits they were familiar with until now.

It was more like an ‘egg’ than a fruit.

“Fuck it!”

At that moment the bank president’s body bounced on the spot like a spring.

From now on let’s all live on our own.

There was no time to take care of the employees.

Seeing the bank president running away without even looking back the bank employees also sensed something and ran after him in panic.

But it was late.

Puff! pop!

The fruits which had been bulging abnormally began to simultaneously burst like balloons.

Then ‘executive officers’ jumped out from inside.

They are called executioners by humans but their reality is not humans or anything else.

Whioooooooo!

What burst out within it was ‘winter’ itself.

As Szilard put it it was bitter cold.

Shwaaaaaaaaaaaa!

With the sound of a balloon popping a huge snowstorm started inside and engulfed the entire city.

The red season suddenly covered the entire field of vision with white.

“Ugh! Bank president!”

“What is this again?!”

“Well they are executioners! If we don’t get out of here right away we’ll all freeze to death! From now on survive on your own!”

With those words the bank president disappeared into the snowstorm.

but.

“…Ahh!”

Soon the bank president’s screams came from beyond and the bank employees who followed him turned without hesitation and dispersed.

I caught a glimpse of something reflected beyond the pure white snowstorm!

There was a huge monster there clutching the head of the bank president with one hand.

[Spirit of Severe Cold]

[Spirit of Severe Cold]

[Spirit of Severe Cold]

….

Finally their identity was revealed before Suho’s eyes.

“Was the executioner a spirit?”

Suho’s eyes shone sharply.

Sensory stats sound an alarm.

How much nutrients have they been sucking up by sticking to Alfheim?

To simply name it a spirit it was completely different from the spirits that had been easily defeated along the way.

[Keeek! Could that be…?!]

Ber urgently called Suho with a serious expression.

Meanwhile while fighting a war in outer space following Seong Jin-woo.

There were always a lot of soldiers and angels of the rulers by Ber’s side.

That’s why Ber realized how this whole situation was going as soon as he saw the sight of those so-called executioners being born.

[Solord! It’s similar to how angels are born from the fruit of their world tree!]

“what?”

Suho’s expression hardened at those words.

The World Tree which takes root in the sea of ​​​​the afterlife nourishes dead souls and bears fruit.

Among those fruits angels were born from special fruits that contained the most energy.

But the same thing happened here in Alfheim and Elvenwood?

The only difference is that what is used as nourishment is not the soul but the body.

It grows living things sucks them in as nutrients and within the most special fruits among the numerous fruits the ‘Spirit of Severe Cold’ is born.

‘Is Elvenwood imitating the World Tree? Or are they all the same seed from the beginning?’

There was a growing curiosity but the urgent priority was to solve the problem at hand.

Ver shouted pointing to the cold spirits that had revealed their true nature.

[Looking at it this way in a broad sense angels are no different from spirits! That means in the end those cold spirits…!]

It was said that they were on a similar level to the soldiers and angels of the rulers.

Only five fruits.

Even though only five were born the cold spell that covered the entire area was not enough and was threatening to freeze the whole world!

At that moment warning messages began to appear one after another before Suho’s eyes.

Tiring! Tiring! Tiring! Tiring!

[‘The harsh winter’ has begun.]

[‘Debuff: Severe Cold’ is activated.]

[Movement speed slows down in real time.]

[Attack speed slows down in real time.]

[As time passes the effect of ‘Debuff: Severe Cold’ continues to accumulate.]

Truly a natural disaster.

Strong and bloody warning sounds were ringing as if entering the sea of ​​the afterlife.

but.

…Scream!

It was different then.

Because the fire that boiled up in the Dragon Emperor’s heart was burning all over Suho’s body.

[‘Heart of the Dragon Lord’ cancels out the effect of ‘Debuff: Severe Cold’.]

Rather even in this world Suho’s body temperature was seething with dark red heat.

However that fact must have been quite disturbing to the spirits of the cold.

Whoa!

[…Who is it?]

[The one who wants to rebel against us.]

As soon as they were born the five cold spirits who instinctively took away the heat from all living creatures around them turned to look at Suho.

As they swelled with the surrounding snowstorm they filled the entire sky.

[Execute winter.]

Gooooooo-

bailiff.

They surrounded the guard to enforce the winter that was the bane of the elves.

but.

“So what do you think?”

Suho was smiling.

Rather it seemed like everything went well.

“Does it look useful?”

In response to Suho’s question Sirka who was next to him said something strange instead of answering.

Joowoouk-

“Ha it’s cool-.”

Stretching out with an extremely refreshed expression.

Whioooooooooo-

In a frigid snowstorm where you can’t see an inch ahead.

The cursed and cruel harsh winter that has been a scourge on the elves ever since the beginning.

But what does that mean?

In the first place Sirka is a winter child who took her first breath and walked in this world from the time she was born.

If Suho had overcome the cold with the heart of the Dragon Emperor.

Sirka is the opposite.

“Does it feel like you’re coming home?”

Instead he was smiling brightly taking in the cool air.

[The Lord of the Cold the king of the Yetis reveals this in a meaningful way.]

That’s right.

Silad the first ice elf.

His descendant grinned and ran without hesitation towards the harsh cold.

Stepping on the light snowstorm.
