Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 33



Episode 33

“There were more people with the beast shoes skill than I thought.”

Suho was traversing the jungle without hesitation far away from other hunters.

Of course numerous ghosts appeared in front of him and attacked Su-ho.

All around tree trunks tainted by magical power were persistently targeting my life.

Haaaaa-

[Banshee uses ‘Skill: Wailing’.]

[You will be disoriented for 10 minutes.]

Moreover a ghostly banshee howled above his head disturbing Suho’s mind.

‘The power of the ruler!’

Sigh!

Suho’s invisible hand reached out and grabbed the banshee’s neck and broke it.

…!

[The banshee has been killed.]

[‘Skill: Wailing’ has been cancelled.]

“You can’t cry. “Because Santa doesn’t give presents.”

Suho grinned and killed as many banshees as they appeared.

And the ghosts that are swarming everywhere are wrapped around and all at once!

Suho’s twin swords spun like windmills.

[Use ‘Skill: Storm Slash’.]

Wow!

[The ghost has been defeated.]

[The ghost has been defeated.]

[The ghost has been defeated.]

….

Storm Slash was very useful in battles with multiple enemies.

However even though I caught so many ghosts there was no sign of my level rising.

‘Then just catch more!’

If I wanted to move forward anyway I had no choice but to catch them all.

[Use ‘Skill: Storm Slash’.]

[Use ‘Skill: Storm Slash’.]

Wow!

[The ghost has been defeated.]

[The ghost has been defeated.]

….

The days of running out of mana with a single storm slash are now a thing of the past.

With the current mana tank I could use it as many as 8 times.

But something was strange.

‘Even though I caught this much I’m not leveling up?’

At this level it felt like I wasn’t getting any experience points at all.

‘No way these…’

Is there a separate body?

At that moment Suho’s eyes glowed coolly and he searched his surroundings.

Thanks to his increased sensory stats Suho also had the same senses as the beast hunters.

‘I found it.’

Suho immediately found the place where the most dangerous energy was felt in this complex jungle.

Suho immediately turned and started running towards that place.

Navigation Rakan’s fangs asked.

-Where are we going?

“Let’s stop by for a moment.”

It was a little different from the direction of the relic but not completely opposite so it was worth stopping by for a moment on the way.

And after a while.

“What is this again?”

Suho found a strange-looking tree.

[Ghost Tree]

“Wraith Tree?”

-It is a spiritual tree that protects the sanctuary.

Rakan’s fangs recognized its identity.

“It’s spiritual? this?”

Suho raised his head and looked up at the ghost tree.

It was a monster that looked more like a demon-possessed seonangdang than a divine one.

And that was actually the case.

Haaaaa-!

Kihihihi…!

Even at this very moment new ghosts were growing like fruit from the twisted branches of the ghost tree.

Ber explained with his eyes shining.

[It seems like a ghost tree that grew by sucking the corpses of people who died on this earth.]

“As expected there was a separate body.”

For some reason no matter how many ghosts I catch they don’t level up.

Anyway it seemed like I found the right place.

Suho grinned and lifted Rakan’s fang into the air with the power of the ruler.

Then he raised Volkan’s horn with both hands and struck the side of the revenant tree mercilessly as if he were using an axe.

Kwaaang-!

A tremendous roar erupted.

But the wraith tree still stood upright in its place.

‘Does this mean the defense is high?’

Let’s see who wins.

Suho gritted his teeth and started hitting the ghost tree in earnest.

Boom boom boom…!

It was then.

“Kwaoooo!”

Creepy!

Evil red shadows attacked Suho as he attacked the ghost tree.

Suho quickly retreated and struck away their claws with his sword.

[Dungeon Jackal]

[Dungeon Jackal]

“Krrr….”

The dungeon jackals on the ground surrounded Suho from front and back with a fierce force to prevent him from escaping.

The look in his eyes was that he was already looking at Suho as prey.

As expected of the guys guarding the tree that protects the sanctuary their momentum was indeed different from that of regular dungeon jackals.

But that made me even more happy.

“okay. “You guys could be of some use.”

At that moment Suho licked his lips and radiated explosive energy from his whole body.

Whoa!

[‘Title: Wolf Slayer’ buff effect is activated.]

[All stats increase by 40% when dealing with beast-type monsters.]

“Kruk?!”

The dungeon jackals instinctively lowered their posture and exposed their teeth.

The intimidating feeling of a predator suddenly emanated from the prey which seemed clearly weaker than them just a moment ago!

“…Crunch!”

Suho swung his sword at the Dungeon Jackals who were attacking him at the same time.

* * *

[Shadow Jackal Lv.1]

normal grade

[Shadow Jackal Lv.1]

[Crying!]

Shadow demonic soldiers pulsing with black energy.

Ber who was riding on top of their heads was nodding with an arrogant expression.

[Hehe. Yes from now on serve as a loyal dog that protects the Solord.]

-This is why we lost the war…

Rakan’s Fang’s sighing voice was heard.

Suho ignored the voice and was busy chopping(?) the side of the wraith tree with an ax.

Boom boom boom boom!

Kihii profit-!

Many ghosts attacked to interfere with Su-ho but now the shadow jackals reliably guarded Su-ho.

At that moment a shouting voice was heard.

-No why don’t you protect the revenant tree that you are supposed to protect and why would an intruder…!

[Keeeeek! Whose side are you on?]

-That’s not what I said now.

[hmm?]

It seemed like another canine was watching Suho from afar.

And finally.

Damn it!

“Oh that’s it.”

Rumbling!

With a loud noise the huge ghost tree fell backwards.

[The revenant tree was destroyed.]

[The surrounding ghosts disappear.]

Shaaa.

At that moment the ghosts hovering around Suho dispersed and disappeared.

[Your level has risen!]

“Level up right away?”

Suho’s eyes widened.

You can level up immediately by cutting down a tree!

Suho’s eyes quickly searched the surroundings.

Then he climbed a nearby tree and jumped to check the situation elsewhere from a high altitude.

In the distance ghosts were still roaming around and attacking hunters.

‘There is not just one revenant tree!’

Suho’s eyes sparkled.

And the location would be known best to insiders.

“Lead the way!”

[Wow!]

At the guardian’s command the shadow jackals took the lead and ran to the place where the second ghost tree was located.

* * *

Rumbling!

I heard the sound of something collapsing somewhere.

“…what?”

Whitetail Tiger who had already taken care of all the Hyena Guild members and was observing the surroundings turned his head in the direction where he heard the roar.

‘Is that where the man went earlier?’

Maybe it was because of my mood but it suddenly felt like the number of ghosts around me had decreased slightly.

‘No it’s not my mood.’

It has definitely decreased.

About one-third.

Thanks to you I have some free time.

Baek Mi-ho looked back at the hyena guild member she had suppressed to obtain information.

Most of them were dead but only one was trapped covered in blood.

White Tails asked looking into his frightened eyes with vertically split beast eyes.

“Do you want to live?”

“I want to buy it!”

The werewolf answered desperately.

“Then let’s prove it. “Why should I save you?”

“Yes yes?”

“It means saying everything you know.”

“Hyung.”

Crumble.

When White Tails revealed its teeth the werewolf felt like prey facing a predator.

And after a while.

“…monarch?”

Baek Mi-ho made a strange expression.

Actually I didn’t have high expectations but surprisingly the value of the information the werewolf gave me was great.

“Are you saying there is a king who rules over demonic beasts?”

“Yes yes! But the king passed away a long time ago and is now said to be vacant!”

“So this is why there is such a fuss about choosing a new king?”

“yes. “We suddenly had auditory hallucinations so we rushed here.”

The werewolf who did not want to die like his other colleagues freely shared the information he knew.

In fact the Hyena Guild members thought that only they could hear the auditory hallucinations.

They decided that because they were awakened people who drank the blood of the Fang Clan they were qualified to become kings.

But when I actually got here it wasn’t the case.

Any hunter with the power of a beast was qualified to become king and all of them were now flocking here and fighting.

“hmm.”

He’s a king….

Baek Mi-ho was lost in thought for a moment.

Of course it would be a lie if I said I wasn’t greedy.

Even at this very moment the auditory hallucination telling me to prove my qualifications was stimulating my desire with a headache.

-Prove your worth to become king!

‘…But it’s still suspicious.’

No matter how much I thought about it I could never imagine that demonic beasts would approach humans with good intentions.

How much more would they choose their king from among humans?

‘That’s ridiculous.’

Baek Mi-ho snorted and crossed her arms.

As expected it was right not to come forward.

But I was curious about what results this test would ultimately produce.

No honestly I was afraid.

What on earth are the demonic beasts here plotting under the pretext of a test for the king?

‘Unfortunately my father was away at a time like this.’

Baek Mi-ho sighed as she remembered her father Baek Yun-ho.

In fact if you were to choose the king of beasts among real humans there would be no one more qualified than S-class hunter Baek Yun-ho.

But Baek Mi-ho could guarantee it.

‘If my father were here he would definitely have made the same decision as me.’

-Prove your worth to become king!

“Tsk. “It’s really noisy.”

Even at this moment Baek Mi-ho’s head was pounding because of the voice that stimulated her desire.

-Kill and kill again!

But that was then.

Crumbling!

Also like before I heard the sound of something collapsing somewhere.

Something strange happened.

-Whoever survives until the end… Wow! Please stop!

“Hmm?”

What is this again?

The voice that was being heard repeatedly all of a sudden suddenly became irritable.

At that moment all the hunters in the forest including Whitetail Tiger raised their heads with puzzled expressions.

Even the werewolf who was begging for his life from White Tailed Fox pricked his ears with a puzzled look on his face.

The auditory hallucinations that had been repeating all of a sudden suddenly stopped.

Before we knew it the number of ghosts had decreased by half.

‘what? Could it be that the king’s test is over…’

Of course not.

After a while the auditory hallucinations started again as if nothing had happened.

-Prove your qualifications to become king… Ah! No! Just that please! There is only one tree left!

“…hmm?”

What on earth is going on?
