Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 34



Episode 34

The ‘Holy Relic’ was truly embarrassed.

An uninvited guest came to the noble king’s examination room and was behaving recklessly.

revenant tree.

A monster that grew by absorbing the vengeful spirits that died in this land.

There were a total of three ghost trees guarding the sanctuary.

But now there is only one left.

And the one remaining tree was being destroyed horribly by uninvited guests.

Boom boom boom!

-Stop it! Please stop! Ah the power of Sanctuary…! The king’s trials…!

Suho was furiously beating the third revenant tree ignoring the holy creature’s struggles.

[Crying!]

And the shadow jackals which had already grown to six were guarding his side with an arrogant and upright posture like guard dogs.

Boom boom boom boom!

‘If you just destroy this you can level up again!’

Unfortunately I did not level up when I destroyed the second wraith tree. This was because as the level increased more experience points were needed.

But from experience this time it was clear.

Boom boom boom boom!

Suho’s ax cutting became faster.

However unlike Suho who was excited ‘another Rakan’s Fang’ kept begging hard in his head.

-No. That is the last revenant tree! How hard I worked to grow that tree!

“I can’t hear. “I can’t hear.”

-Listen! Listening…!

Boom boom boom!

-Do not interfere with the king’s exam on a topic you are not qualified for!

Stand tall.

At those words Suho’s sword suddenly stopped.

“…It’s a qualification.”

Suho raised his head and smiled faintly.

And then he frowned at the holy relic he was looking at from somewhere.

“Why are you doing this when you weren’t supposed to elect a real king anyway?”

-….

Then all that came back was silence.

Suho had already been convinced for a long time.

This was a confidence that could be made since he already possessed one of Rakan’s fangs.

“Anyway you’re planning on taking the body of a human who survived to the end right?”

Rakan’s fangs steal the body of a low-ranking human if they possess it.

But this time the standard was ‘kingly status.’

No matter how much the humans on Earth fly and crawl there is no way they can satisfy the qualifications to become a canine monarch.

Rumbling!

Just then the guardian’s sword destroyed the last revenant tree.

[The revenant tree was destroyed.]

[All the ghosts disappear.]

[Your level has risen!]

With him all the ghosts in Magog Field disappeared.

As the ghosts who had been screaming ceaselessly disappeared a heavy silence fell over the forest.

And at the end of that breathtaking silence the holy relic finally opened its mouth.

-…He was someone who knew me well. What is it?

Question to Suho.

However the heavy intimidation in that voice made all the hunters in Magog Field nervous.

Kurrrrrrr!

The forest was howling.

The ground shook as if it would collapse.

“What is this!”

“What is happening now!”

As an unusual earthquake began to occur beneath their feet the complexions of the hunters in the forest rapidly turned pale.

On the other hand Suho grinned and asked Rakan’s fang in his hand.

“I guess the holy relic here is a little stronger than you?”

-That can’t be possible. They must have found a good host.

Rakan’s Fang’s sarcastic voice was heard.

-But I found better. Because I have found someone who has the qualifications to be a true king.

Gray currently in the Shadow Dungeon was the only descendant of the Fang Clan.

Even though he became Suho’s pet it wasn’t a big problem.

Rather it was because he was confident that Gray would grow into a stronger monarch by being by Suho’s side.

-Do you know the reason for the existence of holy objects?

“What is that?”

-Proving your qualifications as king by competing with each other’s chosen successor.

Sigh.

Rakan’s fangs moved the tip of his sword and pointed again in the direction of the holy relic.

-Go. Go to him and prove that this side is more qualified.

Instead of answering Suho turned his attention to the shadow jackals.

“Jackal!”

[Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!]

“Burn me!”

At that command the shadow jackal quickly approached and placed Suho on its back.

And then he started running through the thick forest at blinding speed.

* * *

Kurrrrrrrr-

The closer we got to the source of the earthquake the more dense the forest became.

There were a variety of plant-type monsters everywhere.

No hunter has ever reached this point.

Aside from not making any money it was extremely risky.

[The plants here are full of life. These are people who have already tasted human blood.]

What Ber said was true.

Magog disaster.

The fundamental reason why this land has turned into such a terrible jungle.

This was because the location where the gate occurred was quite bad.

Here in Magok there was the largest and most spacious botanical garden in Seoul.

And the moment when the gate to the other world opened in the middle of the botanical garden.

The moment when the blue mist that flowed from within penetrated the various plants in the botanical garden and achieved a bizarre evolution.

…This place has turned into hell.

If this was an ordinary mountain like Mt. Gwanak it would have been a little different.

The types of vegetation growing in the mountains would not have been as diverse as in the botanical garden.

If this wasn’t a downtown area it would have been a little different.

The monster plants contaminated with magic wouldn’t have eaten so many humans in the city and evolved into something even more bizarre.

The result of all that bad luck was right here.

[Magog Botanical Garden]

At the site where the botanical garden was originally located there grew a strange giant tree that wriggled as if it were alive.

Suho narrowed his eyes and looked closely at the giant tree and soon recognized its identity.

“This… isn’t a tree is it?”

It wasn’t a tree.

Thousands of plants growing in the botanical garden were intertwined and clumped together forming a giant tree that surrounded the garden.

-It is a nest for the king.

Rakan’s fangs sounded somewhat excited.

-Another me has grown the sanctuary to this extent. I have no choice but to acknowledge this one thing.

It was then.

Shwaaagh!

Suddenly the door to the botanical garden which had been closed tightly with numerous vines opened wide in front of Suho.

“They asked me to come in?”

[It may be a trap Little Lord.]

The corner of Suho’s mouth slightly turned up at Ber’s concern.

“If it’s a trap we have to break through.”

Okay.

He stepped into the entrance with two swords dangling in both hands.

[Enter the dungeon.]

The botanical garden eroded into the dungeon swallowed up Suho.

Afterwards the door was sealed again with vines wrapped around it.

* * *

The inside of the botanical garden was quiet and dark.

Pitch black without a single speck of light.

Suho maximized his senses and adapted to the darkness.

And to further secure visibility I put ‘Item: Crow Mask’ on my face from my inventory.

Then there were things I could see.

cobweb.

“her. “Look at this?”

Suho chuckled and looked around.

The whole place was wrapped in pure white spider webs.

“Was it a trap like this?”

Sasasak Sasasak.

Spider monsters large and small crawling on the spider web were glaring at the intruder.

[Grave Spider]

[Grave Spider]

….

‘It’s a tomb.’

Isn’t this a really fitting name?

There were already guests here before Suho.

While Su-ho was dealing with the ghost tree the beast hunters first smelled the scent and entered the place.

“Ugh! “Eup!”

They were all hanging from the ceiling wrapped in spider webs.

When Su-ho came inside those who could not cover their mouths screamed desperately.

“Please save me…!”

“Please let us…!”

-They are sacrifices. It’s an offering for the king.

While listening to Rakan’s Fang Suho glared into the deep darkness far away.

There was a huge spider crouching there.

A body the size of a house.

Dozens of eyes.

Ugly mouth.

A pair of giant claws.

[Grave Spider Arachne]

It was a spider that felt as enormous and intimidating as a mountain.

-I can feel the energy of the holy object inside that guy’s body.

Suho’s eyes narrowed at Rakan’s fang’s words.

“Then I guess I’ll have to cut open its stomach and take it out.”

Pop!

Without waiting any longer Suho rushed towards the guy with tremendous force.

Keek! Kkkkkkk!

Just then tomb spiders rained down from the walls and ceiling towards Su-ho.

“Take care of the little ones!”

[Karrrrrr!]

At Suho’s command the shadow jackals jumped up and struck the tomb spiders.

Tear them apart with your strong claws.

It killed them by biting them with its strong teeth.

[The grave spider has been defeated.]

[The grave spider has been defeated.]

[The grave spider has been defeated.]

….

Numerous messages appear simultaneously.

Suho ignored them all and ran only looking ahead.

There is only one goal!

“Chwiaak!”

Arachne spewed out a pure white spider web towards Suho.

‘Tear it!’

Two swords whizzed around.

[Use ‘Skill: Storm Slash’.]

Wow!

The spider web was torn mercilessly by the swirling sword strike.

Then the giant spider beyond appeared.

“Keeeeeeek!”

Its huge claws struck from above its head.

bang-!

If I hadn’t instinctively turned my body my body would have been crushed by the claws.

The claw that smashed the stone floor rose again.

Suho’s eyes became sharper.

‘Here we come again!’

Wedge – Boom!

I turned my body again to avoid it.

bang!

I avoided it again.

“Keeeeeeek!”

Arachne became enraged and started striking with her claws at random.

bang! bang! bang! bang! bang! bang!

The attack poured in without any discernible pattern with the force of hitting the entire floor and destroying it.

It felt like fighting a construction excavator.

but.

‘I can see it.’

No I feel it.

Suho’s crisis detection ability shined as he raised his sense stats while using items.

Suho dodged Arachne’s barrage of attacks one by one and gradually narrowed the distance.

And attack.

Boom!

Rakan’s fangs struck the guy’s pole-like legs.

“Kkurrrrrrrrrrrr!”

I turned to the other side of the guy who was reeling from the impact and whipped Volkan’s horn again.

bang-!

From then on Suho’s twin swords began attacking like crazy.

bang! bang! bang! bang! bang!

[The level of ‘Skill: Dual Swordsmanship’ has increased!]

It howled from the heavy non-stop attacks.

“Keeeeek!”

-That’s not even close! No matter how hard you struggle you will eventually become my prey!

At the same time a voice comes from inside the guy’s body.

This is not possible at all?

embrace.

‘The epidermis is quite hard.’

But it doesn’t matter.

If your defense is strong just beat it again and again until that defense is shattered.

‘I’m your food?’

That sounds funny.

Suho smiled whitely showing his teeth.

‘You are my prey.’

I was already excited.

I’m thinking of killing this guy and using him as a shadow soldier.

[Use ‘Skill: Storm Slash’.]

“Keeeeeeek!”
