Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 46



Episode 46

[Skill: Giant’s Armor Lv.1]

active skill

Requires 10 mana.

It surrounds its entire body with magic armor and becomes gigantic.

Mana decreases by 1 per second while casting.

The skill ‘Giant’s Armor’ acquired after defeating Kwak Doo-young was a skill that drained mana in real time even if it was maintained.

For reference Suho’s current maximum magical power is 635.

In other words the time to maintain the skill is 635 seconds.

They said that the limit was only about 10 minutes.

That’s assuming you don’t use any other skills.

Of course his strength size and defense improved but the biggest problem was different.

Even his hands grew larger making it impossible for him to hold a weapon.

In the end Suho had no choice but to give up his main weapon the dual swords and fight with his bare hands.

“bang.”

Shwaaak!

When Suho raised his fist the power of the ruler overlapped and black energy enveloped him.

He slammed his fist down at the sand centipede that was wrapping around his body.

Wow!

“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

A sand centipede that shakes its long body and retreats due to a huge impact.

However as if it was not a fatal blow it survived unharmed and burrowed into the sand and escaped.

The problem was that with this one blow Guardian’s magic power was cut in half and the time it took to maintain the giant’s armor was also cut in half.

‘If we fight like this we won’t even get the money for the potion.’

Suho made a decision quickly.

Let’s bounce.

“Release the giant’s armor.”

Shuuuk.

The Auror’s armor covering his entire body disappeared and Suho’s body became smaller than usual.

Suho immediately jumped on Arachne’s back and stretched out his hand to Esil.

“What are you doing? Doesn’t it jump out?”

“….”

Esil looked like he had a lot to say but he quickly grabbed his hand.

* * *

[Close up!]

Arachne carrying the two people began to run across the desert swinging her eight legs furiously.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk!

Seven sand centipedes following closely behind them.

The speed was a close race.

A breathless chase ensued as if they could or could not be caught.

“I’m going to get caught like this!”

Above the running Arachne Esil turned and glared at the centipedes that were following closely behind.

And without hesitation he threw his spear at the centipede that came closest.

I love you so much-

The sand centipede shook its body to avoid the attack.

Thanks to that momentary hesitation he was able to increase the distance but instead Esil’s spear flew far away.

“What about weapons?”

“You can do this! around!”

In response to Suho’s question Esil stretched out his hand and shouted.

Then Esil’s spear flew through the air like a boomerang and returned to Esil’s hand.

Esil swung the window around and looked confidently at Suho.

“This spear is my horn. “No matter where you are it comes back to me.”

“horn?”

“The devil’s horns. Some demons even use their horns as weapons. “The same goes for our Radir family.”

“Good.”

“what?”

Esil trembled.

Suho’s eyes were sparkling as he looked at himself.

“This time I’ll create a gap so try to guess well.”

Suho grinned and pulled out his dual swords from above Arachne.

[Use ‘Skill: Storm Slash’.]

Wow!

The twin swords swirled around creating a sandstorm.

The goal is to block their view.

The intention was successful and the sand centipedes’ faces were covered with thick sand dust.

“now!”

“okay!”

At the guardian’s cry Esil threw a spear imbued with magical energy at the guys.

Squirt- Bang!

Esil’s spear flew through the sandstorm and caused an explosion in the centipede’s body.

“Keeeeek!”

The centipede that was hit by the attack was startled shook its long body and hid again in the sand.

“If you’re at a disadvantage you keep hiding!”

The spear returned to Eshil’s hands clenching his fists as if he were indignant.

It was then.

[Solord.]

Ver who had been invisible for a while appeared in front of Suho.

[Run over there.]

Suho turned his gaze in the direction Ver was pointing.

Then there…

“pyramid?”

Suho’s eyes widened.

I didn’t realize it because I was so busy being chased by sand centipedes but in the distance there was a truly huge pyramid just like in the picture.

Suho muttered in disbelief.

“Could this be… Earth?”

[To be exact it seems to be a field that exists on Earth.]

I never thought the gate was connected to Earth.

This was a truly unexpected situation.

Now I can see a faint blue mist mixed in with the sandstorm.

‘No isn’t there anything strange about it?’

Just as entering a gate from Earth leads to a dungeon it would not be strange to say that since we traveled through a gate from the Shadow Dungeon that it led to Earth.

Without hesitation Suho turned Arachne towards the pyramid.

And the moment I managed to get to the pyramid while fighting with the sand centipedes.

Sssssssssh….

“uh?”

Surprisingly the centipedes’ pursuit stopped.

“Stop chasing them anymore! “I lived!”

Eshil cheers with joy.

[Khem.]

Ber stood tall above Esil’s head with a proud expression.

On the other hand Suho tilted his head as he watched the movements of the centipedes closely.

They couldn’t get close to the pyramid and were just loitering nearby.

“Are you afraid of pyramids? “Why?”

I turned my gaze back to the pyramid and to my surprise there was a small village formed around the pyramid.

‘It looks like it’s the real Earth.’

Lee Chae appeared in Suho’s eyes.

At first glance the village appeared to be quite modern.

Modern signs were attached to the old ruins buildings centered around the pyramid.

“Who are you?”

At that moment the guards guarding the village border were embarrassed and greeted Su-ho and his group approaching the village.

“How come here?”

“Could it be that you crossed that red desert?”

“…What do you mean?”

Suho looked puzzled.

Language barrier.

Various Arabic words poured out from the mouths of the Egyptian guards.

“How did you get here avoiding the sand centipedes?”

“hmm?”

Surprisingly Esil understood Arabic and translated.

[Demons can understand and communicate with thoughts other than human language.]

Now that I think about it it was surprising that Esil who was a devil spoke Korean in the first place.

‘Anyway I feel comfortable.’

Suho came down from Arachne with Eshil and talked to the guards.

Rather than a conversation it was mainly a question and answer format to get through the gate.

“Are you hunters?”

yes.

“What is the purpose of your visit here?”

doesn’t exist.

I came here by chance while being chased by centipedes.

“Then how long will it be before you go back? “There is a shortage of food here.”

I’ll take a short break and then go back soon.

‘hmm.’

Suho who was answering each of the guards’ words through Esil’s interpretation glanced at their mood.

‘You seem to be interested in Arachne.’

The Arachne that Suho rode on was a giant spider that looked very threatening.

But surprisingly their view of Arachne was quite favorable.

“Which of you is the summoner of this spider?”

“Is this spider a transport summon?”

“It’s amazing to think of riding a spider across the red desert.”

“Is it possible for other people to ride on your spider?”

“Other hunters usually come here by helicopter.”

A helicopter?

At the last word Suho looked around with a puzzled expression.

What is the psychology of people who dare to take helicopters to this dangerous land surrounded by giant centipedes?

For what reason?

Suho suddenly turned his gaze to his surroundings.

No matter where I looked all I could see was sand and the only thing I could see was a pyramid.

“Is it because of the pyramid?”

In response to Suho’s question the guards looked at Suho and Esil with curious expressions.

“You guys really came here without knowing anything.”

“…?”

I felt like a fool.

* * *

Desert city Kamura.

This small town was originally a tourist town that made a living from tourists coming to see the pyramids.

But a month ago.

Kamura’s hell began when the entire desert in this area became a field dungeon.

Numerous tourists and residents in the city turned into Mist Burns and began attacking people and at the same time those who awakened as hunters fought against them.

There were many deaths in the process.

Those who barely survived began escaping the field via helicopter.

Because there were giant centipedes wandering around the village the only possible means of transportation was a helicopter.

But something strange happened.

Hunters from outside began to flock to this village one by one riding that helicopter.

Their purpose was one.

pyramid.

For some reason as soon as the hunters arrived in this city they began to thoroughly explore the Dajjagojja Pyramid.

There was a reason they did that.

“That’s because a fortune teller made a strange prediction a month ago.”

“A prophecy?”

Suho tilted his head as he listened to Esil who interpreted the guards’ words.

Esil told me the contents of the prophecy with a somewhat awkward expression.

“Soon the life born from death will awaken from the seal.”

[Hoo?]

Ber’s eyes sparkled as if he was interested in the prophecy.

“…and that power will raise the dead.”

At that moment Suho and Ber looked at each other at the same time.

Of course that prophecy was extremely absurd and abstract.

But it sounded so intuitive to them.

[Little Lord I guess that prophecy….]

“Are you talking about me?”

Life born from death?

Doesn’t this seem like a blatant reference to Suho the son of Shadow Lord Seong Jin-woo?

Even recently wasn’t the guardian seal awakened or the ability to raise the dead literally a shadow extraction skill?

However the prophecy seemed to be interpreted in a completely different way by other people.

Esil continued.

“And just as the prophecy came out a dungeon break happened inside the pyramid here.”

Timing indeed.

In fact words like ‘life born from death’ were expressions that could be found in any mythology in any country.

Of course here in Egypt as well.

Pyramids and Pharaohs.

The hobby of many rulers throughout history has always been immortality.

However the Egyptian pharaohs went one step further than immortality and even desired the world after death so they built those huge pyramids using numerous slaves.

“The timing was so strange that hunters flocked from all over thinking that the prophecy pointed to this place.”

Suho finally understood the situation and nodded.

Indeed the existence of the pyramid has been a building that has been a mystery for a long time.

However when people who do not know the Shadow Lord’s power listen to the fortune teller’s prophecy they could interpret it as if a skill that gives eternal life such as ‘Life Resurrection’ would appear here.

Sometimes a variety of skills emerge from rune stones found in dungeons.

“But surprisingly I guess something important was discovered inside.”

“what?”

“Uhm. for a moment.”

Esil stared blankly at the security guard who continued to talk to him.

Then the security guard blushed for no reason and shrugged his shoulders.

“It’s not difficult to teach but there are conditions?”

“condition?”

It was at that time that Suho was about to ask me to ask what the conditions were.

Esil had already grabbed the guard by the collar and lifted him up.

“How dare you make a deal with me?”

After a long time Esil returned to being a noble demon nobleman and glared haughtily at the security guard.

The security guard’s complexion turned pale at the arrogant look in his eyes and he stuttered to answer.

“The hunters finally found an inscription written in hieroglyphs deep within the pyramid!”

“Writing? “What kind of writing is that?”

“…May there be brightness in the future of the challenger.”

It was a phrase that had never existed in Egyptian history.
