Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 6



Episode 6

Seong Su-ho 1 year old.

The day that cute baby finally took his first steps.

Like all parents Suho’s house was in chaos.

In a slightly different sense than others.

-Honey! Guardian! Our guardian!

-Why Suho?

Su-ho’s mother Cha Hae-in screamed in disbelief.

-It’s flying now!

-…what?

-Suho is flying around the house right now!

Suho took his first steps in the air not on the floor.

In fact its identity was the ‘Power of the Ruler’ one of the special powers that Su-ho inherited from his father Seong Jin-woo.

[…big. I miss you.]

One-year-old Suho learned how to fly before he could even walk.

Ber wiped his nose saying that the scene was like the story of the extraordinary birth of a mythical hero.

But at that time Earth was a very peaceful world.

The power that Suho inherited was created to destroy everything and was of no use in a peaceful world.

No not only was it useless but it had the potential to make normal life itself impossible.

Seong Jin-woo decided to seal Su-ho’s power until he could control it.

[Now that foreign apostles are invading Earth! Now is the time to unleash the sealed power of the Little Lord!]

[Skill: Ruler’s Power Lv.1]

Active skill.

No mana required.

You can physically affect objects without touching them directly.

With Ver’s fuss flowing past his ears Suho sent the arrow he had caught with his invisible hand flying in the opposite direction.

“I’ll give it back to you.”

Wedge – Pow!

[Crook!]

[The goblin archer has been defeated.]

The goblin archer collapsed with the arrow he shot stuck in his neck.

Then the other goblin behind him turned his back in surprise and started running away.

Slap!

[Keruk!]

‘Do you think I’ll let you run away!’

Suho immediately chased after the guy and kicked out of his seat.

But flash!

“uh?”

[What?!]

Suho overtakes the fleeing goblin with just one leap.

A goblin who was quickly overtaken by Suho.

The two bewildered gazes met in the air.

[Kihehe! As your strength stat increases of course your jumping ability also increases! You will get used to it quickly!]

Why is Ver’s voice laughing and explaining from above my head so funny?

Suho immediately struck the top of the goblin’s head with the axe.

puck!

[Squeak!]

[The goblin scout has been killed.]

Suho hunts down two goblins in an instant.

He wiped the goblin blood splattered on his face with the back of his hand and looked around with a vague gaze.

I didn’t have much time to spare because I was busy fighting but now I realized that this black and white world was not at all friendly to me.

Eyes filled with malice can be felt throughout the ruined city.

The deadly force they gave off was stimulating his sensory stats.

“That’s a lot.”

[There are a lot. There are so many. This is the land of death. A world that has been left without an owner for a long time. Meanwhile wild demonic beasts have built a nest in this land.]

Ber’s smile as he explained it with a grin was truly evil.

If it weren’t for that cute mini size it would be hard to believe that the real owner of this place is Ver.

[But now!]

Wow!

Ber spread his short arms and declared in a solemn tone.

[The true owner of this land has finally returned! I hope you get it! Take back the land lost to those foolish invaders with your own power!]

Tiring!

At that moment a new quest window opened in front of Suho.

Join our discord and ping me to update more chapters. Discord: https://discord.gg/93rmBjgP6B

[Quest: Survival]

The residents of the Shadow Dungeon will never recognize you as the master of this land because you are weak.

Prove yourself by surviving the required time.

Required time: 4 hours

Time remaining: 4 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds

‘living?’

Suho’s eyebrows twitched after reading the quest.

It was then.

Pow!

Puuuuu-!

[The goblin foreman calls his subordinates using ‘Item: Horn.’]

[The Goblin Centurion uses ‘Item: Horn’ to call his subordinates.]

Kihihi!

Scream!

Busily!

With loud noises goblins hiding throughout the city began to appear one by one.

However even if the number was large it was too many.

Suho looked bored.

“You’re kidding right? “You want me to last four hours like this?”

[Of course there is no need to kill them all. Right now Little Lord is only level 3. First try to survive somehow. If you struggle hard you will naturally level up and become stronger.]

Vert narrows his eyes and gives a thumbs up.

The father’s face was filled with a smile as he looked proudly at his grown son.

‘…But why are you so obnoxious?’

But now was not the time to think about anything else.

Scream!

They were coming.

Sigh!

Suho hurriedly picked up the second ax from the hand of the goblin he had just killed.

[Item: Goblin’s stone axe]

Difficulty of acquisition: E

Type: Ax

Attack power +5

Hatchet used by goblins

Item information appears above the axe.

‘From now on one in each hand.’

Suho’s eyes holding two stone axes in each hand sparkled like a yaksha.

But this alone made me uneasy.

Because the same weapons were held in the hands of the goblins swarming around.

Suho quickly opened the status window and invested all 5 remaining stat points into strength.

[Strength: 15 → 20]

Phew!

Suho’s hand holding the ax felt powerful.

The strength stat increases strength and speed.

Considering that his strength stat at level 1 was 10 his strength had doubled.

‘With this power…’

You can jump faster!

Swish!

Using that power Suho suddenly turned around and started running away.

Find terrain that is advantageous for fighting multiple enemies.

[Kihehe! You are great! After all the weak have their own way of fighting!]

“….”

[It’s like seeing an ant larva that has made its first move!]

Wow this is disgusting.

As Suho ran he remembered Ver for the first time in a long time and erased all his happy feelings.

I also completely put an end to my past as an ant enthusiast for a long time.

‘When I return I will burn all the pictures of ants first.’

Suho was determined to draw at least an anteater from now on.

* * *

I could clearly feel the effect of my strength stats.

Suho holding a double axe literally ran wild in all directions.

Huh-huh!

Strike off the goblin’s ax with the right axe.

Kwasik!

Hit the neck with the left axe.

Boom boom!

Just turn around and cut off the ankle of the goblin that was attacking you from behind.

Kwasik!

Cut your throat.

[The goblin assault trooper has been defeated.]

[The goblin spearman has been killed.]

“Kit!”

Although he killed two animals in one go the price was horrendous.

Axes and spears were flying at Suho from all directions.

I dodged half of them but I couldn’t dodge half of them.

Poop! Puff puff!

“Tsk!”

[HP: 160/190]

sick.

As the physical strength decreased the number of wounds on the body increased.

But Suho gritted his teeth and rushed at them again.

Boom – Kwasik!

bang!

This time I killed three.

Meanwhile Suho also allowed four more attacks.

[HP: 118/190]

Spot!

Another guy’s head was cut off.

This time 3 attacks were allowed.

[HP: 84/190]

Before I knew it my physical strength had been cut in half.

Suho’s body also became covered in blood.

But that was then.

Tiring!

[Learned ‘Skill: Tenacity Lv.1’.]

‘I got a skill?!’

Suho’s eyes widened.

Usually hunters live their entire lives using only the skills they are given upon awakening.

In addition in order to acquire new skills the expensive ‘Rune Stone’ which is found with a rare probability was needed.

You can get that precious skill for free during battle!

[Skill: Tenacity Lv.1]

Passive skill.

No mana required.

You have an indomitable spirit.

Physical defense increases by 20%.

I was able to experience the effect firsthand even before checking the skill description.

The pain from the wounds on my body was alleviated.

[Kiheeek!]

Suddenly the goblins realized that Su-ho was not easy so they screamed and scattered in all directions.

At the same time horns calling for more comrades sounded from all directions.

In the meantime Suho hid behind a pillar and caught his breath.

“and. sick.”

At those words Ber burst out laughing and stamped his feet.

[Keek! Is our Solord very ill? Still I am young because it hurts. The more it hurts the stronger you become. I’m so proud of you for working so hard to gain the tenacity skill!]

“….”

Suho who was stopping the bleeding by pressing down on the bleeding wound with his hand glared at Ber.

[Keh?]

There was a baby ant the size of a fist smiling brightly and unaware of its speed.

“Don’t just watch can you help too?”

Ber was a strong man who could tear apart even the giant wolf with his strength.

I don’t know how reassuring it was back then.

But after he got smaller he didn’t seem to have any intention of helping.

But Ber also had his own circumstances.

[Of course I really want to do that. However I must save as much strength as possible to return to outer space where my lord is waiting.]

Ber was in the process of recovering his depleted strength on his own in preparation for his return.

It was because Seong Jin-woo who would recharge his magical power was too far away.

[Furthermore if I participate in the battle the experience points I need to give to the Solord will be greatly reduced. At a time like this how about aiming to level up by killing at least one more guy?]

There was nothing wrong with what Ber said.

The problem is that it’s so obnoxious.

I’ve been talking loudly over my head since a while ago but I’m so upset.

However there seemed to be no particular intention to intentionally provoke this side.

What can I say it was pure evil devoid of humanity.

Maybe it’s because they’re not human in the first place.

[Keek! Solord! They’re coming again! Get up and fight! There’s not much left until you level up!]

Suho gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand.

‘The power of the ruler.’

An invisible hand flew forward and lifted a stone ax from the goblins’ corpses.

Although I realized this during the battle the weight that could be lifted with the ruler’s power seemed to be around 10 kg.

It has the strength to easily lift a baby who has just started walking. Of course a stone ax was also sufficient.

Maybe I could have used this ability to fly in the sky when I was young.

Suho twirled the stone ax in the air around his body.

In this way the minimum defense will be solved.

Ber’s eyes sparkled at that sight.

[Kkiyoot! How can you apply the power of a ruler in this way? I guess it works if you’re in a pinch!]

…It had to be that ant devil.

* * *

[Your level has risen!]

[Your level has risen!]

Time flies so quickly.

Still after struggling for a while covered in blood my level was steadily rising.

And when I leveled up the wounds that were bleeding from the goblins’ axes healed completely.

My stamina which seemed like I would faint at any moment regained strength in an instant.

And above all as his level increased Suho became stronger.

Then finally….

[Remaining time: 0 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds]

[You have completed the quest.]

[Your level has risen!]

[Level: 7]

Slap!

[Scream!]

[Scream!]

When the timer ran out the goblins who had been pursuing Suho so fiercely dispersed and hid in the darkness.

“…is it over?”

Suho looked around without letting his guard down.

Before he knew it there were goblin corpses by his side.

A heavy silence fell over me just like when I first came here.

[Big! Thank you for your hard work! I am truly proud of you!]

Clap clap clap!

It was Ver who broke the silence and clapped excitedly.

[Those wicked bastards have finally acknowledged the Little Lord! Now they must have realized to their core that Lord Solord is not as easy as he seems!]

Than it looks?

“What does it look like?”

[Well you’re still at the level of an ant larva that will die if you touch it! You are only level 7 now!]

“That damn caterpillar….”

Are you still there?

I asked for no reason.

It was then.

Tiring!

[Quest completion reward has arrived.]

[Do you want to check your reward?] (Y/N)

“…check.”

As soon as Suho finished answering the message unfolded.

[The following rewards are available.]

Reward: ‘Rune Stone: Shadow Extraction’
