Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 32



Episode 32

-Prove your qualifications to become king.

“…!”

Crunch.

At that moment Suho’s sense stats detected an abnormality occurring in the forest.

The forest was in turmoil.

Suho stopped walking looked at Rakan’s fangs and asked.

“Is that what you just said?”

-It’s not me.

“Your voice is the same?”

-It has to be that way. Because these words were spoken by someone just like me in this sanctuary.

Suho tilted his head.

“A being just like you?”

-That’s right. Another canine. You probably didn’t think that Fang Lord Rakan the king of beasts would have only one fang did you?

“but. “Usually there will be four.”

-There are two.

“….”

– Hmm. This means that there are two fangs made as holy objects.

When Suho stared at him Rakan’s fangs hastily made an excuse.

-I don’t know if I said it but to be exact I am Rakan’s ‘baby tooth.’

Primary teeth are teeth that fall out during the growth period also called baby teeth.

-I was the one who received the teeth that Rakan lost as he grew up and turned them into sacred items. Since there were two fangs I received at that time there were also two holy relics.

At that time a voice penetrated Suho’s mind again.

-Prove your worth to become king!

Suho asked again.

“Then what does this mean? “Are you qualified to be king?”

-At that time the lower-ranking tribes created me in the hope that a future monarch would be born among them. But now that Rakan is dead it is finally time to elect a new king. The so-called ‘King’s Test’ has begun.

“oh.”

Suho was intrigued by those words and asked.

“So if I pass that test I too can become a Fang Lord?”

-Of course it is possible. If you want to be a beast.

“beast?”

-Then since we are electing the king of beasts shouldn’t we be prepared to become a beast?

“I kind of don’t like that.”

Rakan’s fangs chuckled at Suho’s disgusted expression and continued.

-So that means you are unqualified in the first place. And that voice isn’t talking to you either. It’s just a notice scattered throughout this sanctuary.

[Solord.]

Just then Ver who was flying around and scouting around returned to Suho.

[There are other hunters wandering around this field besides us. However each appearance is different….]

Pot! Pot! Pot!

While listening to Ber’s words Suho stepped on a tree branch and jumped high.

And I looked down in the direction where the commotion was coming from high above.

Then an interesting scene unfolded there.

Lee Chae appeared in Suho’s eyes.

‘They say they will elect the king of beasts.’

[…Everyone was using the Beast Shoes skill.]

I guess that’s what he meant.

Kyaoooo-!

Whoa!

Ku-kwa-kwang! bang! Quack!

Throughout the forest martial arts hunters were fighting with part or all of their bodies transformed into beasts.

A person with wings like an eagle on his back.

A person who becomes furry and large like a bear.

There were so many different types.

-Prove your worth to become king!

And they were fighting an entire forest of madness to prove their worth.

-It seems that the holy relic here brought all the beasts worthy of becoming kings here.

It was then.

Squirt-!

Crunch.

At that moment Suho suddenly felt a presence beneath his feet and immediately turned around and jumped off the tree branch.

Wow!

Surprisingly what attacked Suho was the tree itself.

‘Tree trunk?’

Even as he jumped to the ground numerous tree trunks attacked Suho like whips.

‘The power of the ruler!’

The power of the current ruler’s authority was not enough to lift the guardian’s weight. However it was possible to double jump by momentarily stepping into the air and leaping again.

Papapatpat!

Suho did somersaults like a circus avoiding whip vines here and there and landed safely on the ground.

Then the battle began in earnest.

Squirt! Cham choak choak!

Plant-type demonic beasts began to attack Suho from all directions.

Suho immediately grabbed Rakan’s fangs and Volkan’s horns with both hands and hacked them to pieces.

-Prove your worth to become king!

Meanwhile the voice keeps coming.

Suho felt unfair.

“Why are you taking the test when I don’t have any qualifications?”

-It’s a matter of timing. Because he came into the sanctuary at this time and was caught up in the king’s ordeal. Or maybe the ordeal has just begun because I the holy relic came here.

“So the problem is with the sacred object in the first place.”

Suho decided to think simply.

“If it’s a test or something we’ll start by looking for a test tube.”

[Let’s find it and destroy it. Who do you dare test?]

Ber’s eyes shined sinisterly.

-The direction is this way.

The direction Rakan’s fangs had been pointing from a while ago was exactly where the test tube was.

Suho continued to cut down the plant-type demon beasts and ran to the place where the holy relic was located.

* * *

The deeper the jungle got the thicker the blue fog became.

The sight gave off a dreamlike feeling at first glance but it was soon the beginning of a nightmare.

Heeeeeee-

“A ghost is coming.”

The hunters who were being tested for their qualifications as kings hurriedly guarded their surroundings.

The spine-chilling sound of the wind was blowing from all directions.

In fact plant-type magical beasts are not very strong if you look at them individually.

However if you look at the forest as a whole the risk level changes.

Whether they are E-class or S-class hunters are ultimately humans made of flesh and blood.

If a sharp tree trunk suddenly flies and pierces your throat or heart your life could be wasted in vain.

But this forest was full of such creepy assassins everywhere.

Now ghosts have been added to it.

“This is why this field is not popular.”

“I mean. “It’s just dangerous and there’s nothing to be gained.”

Until last year there was a big city here.

Not only did it have a large number of people living there but it also boasted a huge floating population as it also had a sizable business district.

But one day a gate suddenly opened here and a catastrophe occurred.

Many people died and those who were lucky enough to survive lost their homes.

And the ghosts of those who died at that time were still wandering this land.

Haaaaa-!

“Holy shit! Let’s ban!”

“Everyone cover your ears!”

Banshee a ghostly beast.

The banshee’s wail is disorienting.

The compatibility was the worst for the hunters who were already wandering through the jungle.

Moreover all of the hunters here now had developed hearing skills by using the Beast Form skill.

“Uweek.”

In the end people started vomiting one after another.

-Prove your worth to become king!

A voice that whips them even at this moment.

When the voice stuck in their heads while temporarily losing their sight and hearing the hunters realized the true nature of this test.

‘I get it.’

smell.

There was a smell calling to them from somewhere.

This was the smell of magical power that could only be felt when wildness was maximized.

“okay! “It was a smell!”

The hunters focused all their attention on their sense of smell.

But a tree trunk is creeping through that gap!

Wedge-!

“Big!”

Their eyes were wild and burning as they tore away the vines stuck in their thighs.

‘I will definitely find it.’

‘Find it and become king!’

Without even knowing what the true identity of the king was they were mindlessly taking the test as if they were possessed by something.

“…Something is strange.”

Stand tall.

Baek Mi-ho who was fighting the ghosts by tracking the scent before anyone else suddenly stopped.

The White Tiger Guild Hunters who followed behind looked at White Tiger with a puzzled expression.

“Vice President why do you suddenly stop?”

Baek Mi-ho had a disapproving expression.

Even in this chaotic situation the ‘eyes of the beast’ were looking much further away.

White Tailed Tiger already knew that there were quite a few hunters wandering around this forest besides themselves.

And like him they were also moving competitively to the same place using their beast skills.

The same goes for the wild nature of the white tiger.

From the moment I stopped walking I was starting to feel impatient thinking that this was not the time.

And that very part touched Baek Mi-ho’s pride.

“Doing this makes me feel like I’m being played by someone. “I don’t like it.”

“yes? “What do you mean by that?”

“As of now our White Tiger Guild is withdrawing from this mysterious test.”

“…!”

Baekho guild members were greatly embarrassed by Baekmiho’s sudden declaration of giving up.

When I entered this forest yesterday I couldn’t understand why the vice president came here.

However once the king’s test began my worries disappeared.

Although they do not know what awaits them at the end of the test the power of the word ‘king’ fuels their desire.

However Baek Mi-ho suddenly stepped on the brakes and stopped due to all that psychological inertia.

“I feel bad because I feel like I have become a real beast being seduced by such an unknown desire. “It’s not like a dog in heat swayed by some kind of pheromone.”

Baekmiho clicked his tongue and even opened the beast’s eyes.

“So are you going back now?”

“no.”

It was undesirable to engage in grappling with others without knowing the purpose.

However I wanted to see with my own eyes who would be the final winner here.

“I move to find high terrain with good visibility.”

“all right.”

Baek Mi-ho’s subordinates followed Baek Mi-ho’s decision without a word.

But then.

“Crrrrrrr?”

At that moment a group of werewolves appeared in front of the White Tiger Guild through the bushes.

“hmm?”

The moment Baek Mi-ho recognized their identities his eyes changed.

The White Tiger Guild was the most famous guild in Korea for its beast transformation skills.

As a result I also had a separate list of hunters from other guilds with the beast transformation skill. The purpose of course was to suggest recruitment at some point.

So I was well aware of the identities of the werewolves I had just encountered.

“They are the remnants of the Hyena Guild.”

They said there were people who had not been caught by the police yet and it seemed like they too had been lured into this forest by the king’s proof.

But the problem was that their nature was evil and as they had served Brockie for a long time they understood the king’s test better than anyone else.

‘There is only one king!’

Crumble!

The moment they accidentally encountered the White Tiger Guild the werewolves showed their teeth without hesitation and unleashed their murderous spirit.

And then they launched a reckless attack.

“Kill!”

“Krarak!”

The White Tiger Guild was the strongest candidate for the title of king.

If he didn’t kill him now the throne could be taken away.

However their blatant murderous intent awakened the wild nature that Baekmiho had been barely suppressing.

“…Tsk.”

For a moment Baek Mi-ho clicks her tongue with a startled expression.

‘One-day puppies who don’t even know the subject.’

Tuk.

At that moment the hair tie at the back broke.

Grumble!

The white tiger’s hair which stood out like a lion’s mane was bleached white.

‘Beastization!’

Half human and half beast.

The claws of the White Tailed Fox revealing its true power tore out the heart of the leading werewolf.

Then at that moment.

-Prove your worth to become king!

“…under?”

A voice was heard that seemed to rejoice at the slaughter of White Tailed Fox.

-Kill and kill again!

-Whoever survives until the end is truly strong!

“Was it something like this?”

Baek Mi-ho realized what that voice truly wanted.

“Battle royale.”

I really don’t like it.

By forcibly tricking people into killing each other.

In addition thanks to the five senses maximized by the Beast Transformation skill screams of people killing and killing each other could be heard from all over the forest.

Battle royale was already taking place elsewhere.

“I really don’t like it.”

Baek Mi-ho gritted his teeth with a fearful expression while fighting with the Hyena Guild members.

Then suddenly with the eyes of a beast I spotted a person walking in the distance.

The carefree appearance of him walking briskly holding two swords in both hands was so foreign.

‘But why is that person alone?’

Could it be that he killed all his colleagues and survived alone?

If so he was truly the worst person.

He was so blinded by the king’s power that he even killed his comrades!

…however.

Sniff.

‘I don’t smell blood.’

Didn’t you kill anyone? Then why are you alone?

Baek Mi-ho kept glancing at him even while fighting the Hyena Guild.

Keep going until he’s out of sight.
