Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 288

Episode 288
Shoooo-
As the Apostle of Paradise fled the gap in the dimension he tore began to heal on its own.
Ber’s eyes flashed as he saw the presence of the Apostle of Paradise who had completely disappeared.
[It’s definitely alive somewhere. The fact that you are still alive even though you know me means that you are a servant who values his life so much.]
The apostles of Italim that Verga faced in outer space were all different in appearance and abilities.
This was because Itarim was also not one but many.
Since the foreign gods served by the apostles were different the abilities of the creatures created by each foreign god were also diverse.
Therefore every time new foreign media arrived late and entered the battlefield the aspects of the war changed every time.
For Seong Jin-woo who had to stop them all he was essentially dealing with a huge allied force whose troops were constantly being added.
However it was said that they were allied forces but in reality if you look deeper there was an invisible conflict even between the Itarim.
They only briefly joined forces because their goals were the same but they were not on the same side to begin with.
They were temporarily grouped together as a team to face a powerful enemy named Seong Jin-woo but the purpose of their incursion into this universe in the first place was to ‘monopolize.’
Even if they succeeded in defeating the mighty Seong Jin-woo’s army and taking over this universe their war would not end.
From then on the victorious foreign powers begin to compete with each other to monopolize the enormous unclaimed magic power remaining in this universe.
In the process this universe and the dimension surrounding the Earth would eventually be torn into hundreds and thousands of pieces wandering forever in the gap between dimensions.
[…So even during battle they are good at manipulating each other behind each other’s backs. It is basic to send other foreign troops to the front line first and preserve their own troops by leaving them behind. [We hit each other in the back in strange ways.]
Ber’s explanation is in short a three-way battle.
No I don’t know if this expression is correct but it meant that it was a war of at least a few dozen factions.
It was thanks to these factors that Seong Jin-woo was able to establish a confrontation without retreating even against the endless Allied Forces.
“Thank you for the explanation but can you tell me again later?”
The situation in front of Suho was not comfortable for him to calmly listen to Ber’s lengthy explanation.
That’s it!
Qiaaaaa-!
Even though the Apostle of Paradise fled the battle was not yet over.
The burned melted body of the apostle was scattered throughout the city and became fertilizer which accelerated Alfheim’s runaway.

This also had a huge impact on the cold weather spirits who were overwhelmed by Sirka’s spirit.
Gooooooooo!
The runaway cold spirits grew so large that they threatened to freeze the entire world and they were the first to bounce off Sirka’s hammer.
That wasn’t all.
[Use ‘Skill: Breath of Destruction’.]
Fu kwa bang!
The breath of destruction exhaled by Suho passed through a large hole in the body of the gigantic cold spirit.
Rather than burning it just melted.
Like cotton candy in contact with water.
It’s truly the ultimate compatibility.
But surprisingly the large hole was quickly restored to its original state.
Sigh-!
The surrounding snowstorm flew in in an instant and filled the cold spirit’s wounds.
The cold spirits are not demonic beasts but the season itself.
In the end in order to completely defeat them the entire winter that hit this city and this instance dungeon had to be burned down.
“Everyone come out!”
Huwaaaaagh-
[Use ‘Skill: Monarch’s Realm’.]
A black shadow filled the city centered around Suho’s feet.
Above them a legion of shadows waving dark red flames rose up all at once.
“Everyone attack!”
Aaaah!
At the guardian’s command thousands of shadow soldiers roared and rushed forward.
The entire city of brilliant villains began to burn down.
But what they were aiming for was not the spirit of cold weather.
“Because those are the ones that Sirka will eat.”
Guardians and the Shadow Corps aimed elsewhere.
Alfheim.
“We eat that tree.”
The dark side has been discovered and the city’s secrets have been uncovered so there is no need to endure it any longer.
Shwaaaagh!
Sssssssssssssssssssss!
From the bottom of the earth to the top of the sky.
Thousands of ugly tree branches and roots rushing sharply from all over the world.
Alfheim where winter has been coming since time immemorial was itself a nightmare for the elves.
But at this moment.
The nightmare has been turned upside down.

[Follow me!]
[That tree belongs to us!]
[Pull out the roots and cut out the branches!]
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The dark red flames rippling from the shadow soldiers’ bodies covered the entire city.
Shadow soldiers rushed toward Alfheim amidst the blazing flames.
Purr purr-
The ground trembled at their footsteps and the entire city melted in the flames they spewed.
Kugoogung-!
The roots of Alfheim were uprooted and cut off one by one by the shadow soldiers’ attack.
A sea of fire spread out over the cold winter.
It was then.
[Solord! Look over there! Alfheim’s roots surround the entire city!]
Ber pointed to the walls surrounding the city.
[I guess they used all the corpses of the dead villains as food!]
As Ber said Alfheim’s roots had suddenly wrapped the entire city like a spider web and those roots were absorbing all the nutrients from the city.
Kwasizik- Kwazisik-!
Every time the shadow soldiers cut off a root the corpses of the devoured villains poured out.
It looked like a dried bellflower.
“It was a real flower pot.”
Suho frowned.
It was no exaggeration to say that this city itself was a huge flower pot for growing Alfheim.
Looking at it again it certainly seemed like the Apostle of Paradise was better at this type of behind-the-scenes work than fighting.
Hwii-ing-
On the other side Sirka was engaged in a bloody battle with the cold spirits.
Thump-!
Sirka’s huge ice hammer cut through the blizzard and crushed them.
[How dare you… us…!]
“Shut up and give in!”
Pow-!
With each blow the spirits’ bodies were shattered into pieces and then brought back together again and again.
[The King of the Yetis Lord of the Cold clenches his fist.]
It seemed as though Szilard’s cheers could be heard up to here.
The fertilizer scattered by the Apostle of Paradise caused the cold spirits to run wild but the situation was already in jeopardy.
Before we knew it Sirka had completely dominated the four spirits and now only the last one remained.
“That side will be over soon.”
Suho muttered.
Most of Alfheim’s roots were cut off and the spirits of the cold were eaten by Sirka.
Now all that’s left is…
“Hwaap!”
Tdu-duk-!
The moment when the last root held by Suho’s strong grip is torn away.
Kugoogung-!
Alfheim’s wooden pillar fell splitting the city in half.
A shock wave that shook the heavens and earth hit the city.
But even at that moment Alfheim made his last attempt.
Seeing this Haseul came to Suho’s side and shouted with a nervous expression.
“This is a big deal! Alfheim attempts the ‘last harvest’!”
“The last harvest?”
Haseul who was a harvester knew Alfheim’s temper better than anyone else.
In the first place one of the most important missions of infiltrating this city under the orders of Association President Woo Jin-cheol was to find out about Alfheim’s characteristics.
Shwaaagh!
New rootlets sprouted from the tree trunks of Alfheim which had lost all their tentacles and were burned and began to take root on the ground.
Then it started sucking up all the nutrients around it at an incredible speed.
The corpses of the elves that the villains had hunted were buried in this land.
Let’s concentrate all the accumulated nutrients into one point…
“ah.”
The result was also discovered in Suho’s eyes.
The ‘last fruit’ was sprouting from Alfheim.
“Could it be that you are trying to give birth to another spirit?”
“that’s right! The final executioner! If that thing is born all of us…!”
Kwasik-!
Before Haseul could finish speaking Sirka’s hands moved faster.
Sirka grabbed the last fruit and burst it without hesitation.
“Don’t waste time be born right away. “Now there’s only one left you.”
…!
When I looked back the snowstorm had calmed down.
What exists instead are five giant ice golems standing behind Sirka.
Finally he succeeded in controlling all the cold spirits.
And the moment when Alfheim explodes the final fruit that he created with all his might.
―――――――――!
“…!”
What came out of it was not a cold spirit but a scream.
A horrifying scream that could not be perceived by human hearing erupted in all directions.
That moment.
Tiring!
[The emergency quest has arrived.]
“under?”
Suho burst into laughter at the sudden quest window.
[Emergency Quest: Defeat the enemy!]
Beings with murderous intentions toward the ‘player’ have surrounded the surroundings. Kill everyone and get to safety.
Number of enemies to kill: 2918
Number of enemies killed: 0
What kind of number is this all of a sudden?
He was saying that nearly 3000 enemies were surrounding him.
There was no sign of it.
“…Oh maybe it was the fallen leaves.”
When the snowstorm cleared winter ended and the land returned to fall.
As the snow-covered fields melted in the flames of destruction the colorful fallen leaves beneath them also burned.
However even though they were reduced to ash the fallen leaves turned into smoke and covered the sky giving the effect of ‘cognitive inhibition’ to the land.
Of course it is only a temporary effect and even this will disappear sooner or later.
The problem was that in the meantime there were beings who heard Alfheim’s screams and flocked here.
Eat.
Suho looked around and laughed in bewilderment.
On top of the burning walls.
Before we knew it there were 3000 ‘high elves’ standing on top of it looking down and aiming their bows.
They are high elves whose skin has been strengthened by hard tree bark.
“Were Silad High Elves originally this common?”
[The King of the Yetis the Lord of the Cold clicks his tongue.]
[The Lord of Cold the king of the Yetis explains that they are half-high elves forcibly evolved by the corrupted Elvenwood.]
They were ultimately saying that this was the work of an apostle of paradise.
How many flower pots have been made on this land?
“….”
Meanwhile Haseul clutched the harvest scythe with determined eyes surrounded by the overwhelming killing power of the high elves simultaneously.
And with his other hand he grabbed the whole round strawberry cake that Suho had handed him earlier and took a rough bite of it.
Even if this is where you die today wouldn’t it be okay to have a bite of strawberry cake before you die?
However Suho called Arsha as if everything went well.
“Arsha.”
[yes. Did you call me?]
Wayeng-
As soon as he answered a large swarm of bees flew out from under Suho’s shadow.
The bees gathered together in the air revealing Arsha’s face with a polite expression.
Haseul was shocked at that sight but soon took another bite of the cake.
Now no matter what happened I was ready to chew the cake and swallow it as if my cheeks would explode.
Suho ordered Arsha.
“It all went well right? Spray bees to trace back their traces. and….”
[We will determine the locations of all Elvenwoods at the end.]
If you pretend pretend.
With that answer Arsha scattered into numerous bees and flew into the sky all at once.
“And those guys.”
The instance dungeon has already been broken due to the Apostle of Paradise.
But if you just catch those high elves wouldn’t they all gain experience?
Suho smiled showing his teeth.
“It was a hassle to find everything but it turned out well. “Don’t miss a single one.”
[yes!]
The guardian shadow army all at once gained momentum and rushed out towards the 3000 high elves.
And in Sirka’s body in front of so many high elves…
Something strange was happening.
Whoa!
A chill began to swirl throughout Sirka’s body.
