Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 45



Episode 45

“Now wait!”

Esil urgently called Suho.

“You’re not going to go in right now are you?”

“Are you going to go in right away?”

“Sounds like a big problem!”

Esil had a serious expression on his face as he pointed to the red sand pouring down like a landslide from the Red Gate.

“Can’t you feel that heat now? “If you go in with your bare body not only will you get burned but you could even die from suffocation from the heat!”

In fact just by getting close to that red sand you could feel the heat.

In short it was dangerous to go in without any precautions.

But then.

“store.”

Suho opened the store window and selected an item.

Squeak.

[I purchased ‘Item: Fire Demon Necklace’.]

[Item: Fire Demon Necklace]

Difficulty of acquisition: Grade D

Type: Accessories

This is a necklace with the divine protection of a fire demon.

When you wear it around your neck it blocks out heat.

Suho quickly hung the suspicious-looking necklace that appeared in his hand around his neck.

[You are wearing ‘Item: Fire Demon Necklace’.]

Slurp.

Immediately the necklace became more and more transparent around Suho’s neck and disappeared and at the same time his body suddenly felt refreshed.

External heat is blocked.

“Oh.”

Seeing this Esil who had been nagging Suho looked blank.

‘Performance is good?’

Suho looked satisfied and as he was leaving he bought another necklace and handed it to Esil.

“ruler.”

“Ah. uh?”

Esil took the necklace without any hesitation.

And he looked puzzled by the mysterious energy felt from the necklace.

“Blessings of the Boo Fire Demon? “Where did you get this treasure?”

“treasure?”

“Yes treasure! Items with this kind of divine protection are rarely passed on to the outside world. I think it’s an item from a tribe that was destroyed during the Monarch War… Hmm.”

Esil looked around at the Fire Demon’s Necklace finding it fascinating and quickly hung it around his neck.

Then I immediately felt refreshed and opened my eyes.

“wow. Wouldn’t it be nice to wear this on a daily basis? If you do this at least you won’t get burned… ugh.”

Esil was embarrassed for no reason after trying so hard to emphasize the dangers.

“But it’s still dangerous! good. Since I received a good gift after a long time I will teach you something good too.”

“Are you saying it’s a good thing?”

Esil raised his hand to Suho who looked puzzled.

“It’s like a trick to using magical power in times like this.”

Wow.

Then a transparent energy began to waver in Esil’s hands.

“Now like this.”

Esil took that energy to his face and covered it like a mask.

“You put a thin protective layer on your face. This way no grains of sand will get into your eyes or mouth. By the way you can use it underwater too.”

“oh?”

Suho’s eyes sparkled at the unexpected tip.

I was already looking for something like a helmet in a store window but there was no longer a need for that.

“Of course it will be a little difficult at first. The point is to keep the shield as thin as possible so detailed magic control capabilities are required. “I’ll show you a few more times…”

“uh? “It’s done.”

“to.”

Wow.

Esil looked dejected as she saw Suho imitating her perfectly after just one look.

“That’s right. That’s how you do it. It’s thin and nice….”

It was very perfect horsepower control.

‘It took me years to get it that thin.’

I felt something unfair.

Then suddenly from the side.

[Khem.]

Ber put his face in his face and showed off his arrogance.

[It’s laughable. I can’t believe I’m that surprised. Our Solord was a prodigy from the beginning. When he was a newborn he walked in the sky instead of walking.]

“I didn’t ask.”

[Do you think that’s all? Learn Hangul at age 5 and addition and subtraction at age 6…]

“No I didn’t ask. “You eight-year-old.”

And that was an acceptable speed.

* * *

When all preparations were completed Suho and Esil climbed onto Arachne’s back.

Fortunately Arachne’s shell was as hard as armor so the ride was quite comfortable.

“Let’s go!”

[Scream!]

At the guardian’s command Arachne began to climb back digging through the pouring sand waterfall with her huge claws.

쌄쌣죣죣죣죣죣ꌄ!

But the method was a bit strange.

First it pushes the sand left and right with its huge claws.

At the same time it spews out black spider webs from its body and hardens the sand grains it pushes out into a sticky mess.

Then the grains solidified in their excavated form creating a tunnel through which Arachne could move.

Of course the tunnel quickly collapsed due to the sand constantly falling from above but it at least gave Arachne enough time to move her body.

Suho was impressed by that method.

“oh. “This makes me really look like a bug right?”

[Of course it’s a bug.]

It was Ver who answered instead of Arachne who could not speak.

[Kkurrrrrrgh!]

썣썄죣죣죣죣!

So Arachne began to leisurely climb up the sand waterfall with Suho and Esil on board.

Ver stood proudly with his arms crossed over Arachne’s snout and indicated the direction.

[Go forth spider ship!]

These days Ber was absorbed in the historical drama of Yi Sun-sin.

* * *

How long had I been digging through the sand like that?

It was as if I was swimming vaguely in the darkness without a single speck of light.

But Suho also had an idea.

“Just go up!”

[Crumple!]

Arachne followed Suho’s orders and dug straight up into the sand.

But that was then.

Creepy!

‘what?’

At that moment Suho’s sensory stats sent a huge warning.

When Suho felt a sense of crisis strong enough to give him goosebumps he shouted without even having time to think.

“Dodge to the side!”

[Scream!]

At Suho’s command Arachne immediately changed direction.

bang!

Then the wall of the tunnel that had been there just a moment ago suddenly exploded and something huge came out of it.

It’s like a train running on some kind of subway track.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk!

Something big thick and long passed by them with tremendous force.

“…!”

“What is that!”

Esil is startled.

It was so dark that I couldn’t tell what it was.

But it was visible in Suho’s eyes.

The red name tag attached to the guy.

[Poison Toothed Sand Centipede]

“It’s a centipede!”

“A centipede?!”

Eshil’s complexion quickly turns pale when he hears his name.

It wasn’t because I was afraid of bugs.

After all it was never a good thing to encounter a huge demonic beast in the ground like this.

Even more so if the size is so enormous that it cannot be handled.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk!

There was no time to think further.

“damage!”

[Rumble rumble!]

Even before Suho finished speaking Arachne began to break away from the guy by frantically digging into the sand.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk!

A chill down my spine.

Right behind me I could hear the sound of digging into the sand coming closer and closer every moment.

“Dodge to the side!”

[Tightly packed!]

Suho desperately pointed Arachne’s direction relying on his sense stats.

Then just in the nick of time a huge train(?) passed by them.

Fortunately the sand centipede was so long that it seemed unable to turn immediately once it decided on a direction.

[I will try to stop it!]

Ber urgently runs towards the sand centipede and kicks it!

Teeyong!

Rather it was Ber who was thrown out.

[Still I changed direction just slightly!]

“Anything is fine so always go up! To the ground!”

[Crackling!]

썄썄죣죣죣!

And that judgment was right.

Puhwaak!

[Scream!]

In the end Arachne succeeded in crawling up to the ground through the red sand.

Whoa!

“Ugh.”

In an instant dazzling sunlight hit Suho and Esil’s eyes.

After a moment their vision adjusted they were able to see.

The red desert stretches endlessly before your eyes.

“It was a real desert.”

“If it weren’t for the fire ghost necklace I would have died from the heat.”

There was no time to let down our guard.

Sigh!

A huge pillar of sand rose up right behind them.

[What?!]

Arachne fell backwards from the strong pressure.

Suho and Esil who were riding on top of him also tumbled to the floor.

After rolling a few times on the floor and barely maintaining balance on the sand their eyes widened when they saw the scene unfolding in front of them.

Shoot!

“Keeeeeeee!”

A sand centipede breaking through the sand.

[Poison Toothed Sand Centipede]

That grotesque and disgusting figure appeared before them.

And Suho saw it for a moment.

Two teeth the size of a child attached to the bottom of the sand centipede’s head.

Just by looking at its name you could guess what would happen if you got stabbed there.

Watching those big teeth and jaws constantly opening and closing makes me feel…

“Do you feel like you’re getting a taste for this?”

What Esil said was correct.

The sand centipede immediately opened its mouth and attacked them wading through the sand.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk-!

Kieeeeeee!

“Aaaah!”

“Run!”

Esil and Suho shouted at the same time turned their backs and started running across the desert.

Fuwaaaaak!

A giant centipede chases after him creating waves of sand.

Esil who was running hurriedly bit his lip and made an angry expression.

‘If only my strength had been intact…!’

My pride was hurt.

An aristocrat who is a devil in name and whose life is threatened by such a large and stupid demon beast.

But the past is just the past.

Now was not the time for petty pride.

‘He’s someone we can never deal with with our current strength! ‘Now I have to go back to the shadow world!’

Esil urgently looked back at Suho and shouted.

“Suho! First of all retreat…?”

Boom!

When I turned around I saw Suho who had suddenly become huge for some reason uppercutting the sand centipede’s chin.

[Use ‘Skill: Giant’s Armor’.]

Suho suddenly broke the rune stone and learned a new skill.

With that skill it doubled its size and was engaged in hand-to-hand combat with a giant centipede.

Boom! Puff puff!

He alternately thrusts his two bulky fists into the centipede’s face and wraps his arms around its thick neck to strangle it.

Kieeeeek!

As if the centipede was in pain it flapped its long body like a train and wrapped around Suho’s body.

It is truly a clash of power and power.

‘oh my god.’

Esil was greatly shocked when he witnessed the battle between Suho who had become a giant and the giant monster right in front of his eyes.

‘When did you become so strong?’

I can assure you that until yesterday Suho did not have that kind of power.

[Khem. This is our Solord….]

This was the moment when Ber tried to show off.

Shoot!

Suddenly another pillar of sand rose up before my eyes.

“Oh my.”

Esil’s expression hardened.

This time it wasn’t just one or two.

Shoot!

Shoot!

Before I knew it seven sand centipedes had risen from the sand and were surrounding the area.

But even though he was surrounded by them Suho still stood firm.

His expressionless gaze glanced around at each of them.

‘Suho….’

Esil swallowed his dry saliva at the mountain-like force.

‘How much have you grown….’

Nod.

At that time Suho nodded and turned around refreshed.

“Will it just jump out?”

“….”
