Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 61



Episode 61

Until now there were two main ways for Suho to summon shadow soldiers.

One is to immediately extract the demon beast that was just killed and use it as a soldier.

The other is to store pre-killed corpses in the shadow dungeon and extract them when needed.

But now one more thing has been added.

These are the ‘corrupt mummies’ that infest the Pyramid of Ammut.

These guys were basically moving corpses so to Suho they were like triangular kimbap from a convenience store that he could take out and eat right away without having to fight them one by one.

[Shadow Mummy Lv.1]

normal grade

That’s how these 20 shadow mummies were created.

The abilities of these guys were so strong that the Scavenger Guild and Asura Guild had a hard time.

Strength and agility zombie-like tenacity.

Above all the putrid poison leaking through the gaps in the bandages constantly harassed nearby enemies.

And this rotting poison was the reason why Suho tried to stay away from other hunters.

[Kihiiii!]

Tduduk! Kwasik! Sigh!

The shadow mummies began tearing and breaking the Woodvine’s thorns.

Thorn paralyzing poison?

There’s no way something like that would work on Mira.

In fact it was the opposite. The thorn vines were contaminated by the shadow mummy’s putrid poison and began to rot.

“Keuiyi!”

The Woodvines counterattack with ferocious force.

Even the shadow mummies were not safe.

The bandage was torn apart by thorns and the limbs were entangled in vines and torn off.

but.

Shwaaagh!

Immediately a new black bandage is wrapped around me.

The angels of death with all their injuries restored rose again.

The force was literally like a demon from hell.

[Kihyaa!]

Hunters were in great shock.

“…oh my god.”

“What am I looking at?”

“Could it be that they are all summons…?”

It was a moment when the common sense they knew about summoning magicians completely collapsed.

In particular Gu Dong-jae who personally argued with Su-ho earlier had a contemplative expression on his face.

“You’re crazy… I wonder what happened.”

You didn’t just use summons that gave strength buffs?

No at this point I wasn’t even sure if it was a strength buff.

In fact Ber who had been summoned from the beginning was just watching the battle while yawning in the air.

‘Huh! Come to think of it?’

At that moment Dong-jae Dong-jae suddenly realizes something.

His eyes turned to the bandage still wrapped around his wrist.

“This bandage can’t be….”

The person who responded to those words was the healer from the White Tiger Guild who treated his wrist earlier.

“ah!”

A bandage item that moves on its own and wraps around the wrist.

And the bandaged mummies fighting like demons in front of me!

“It wasn’t that bandage item it was a summoning spell!”

Only then did some of the doubts become clear.

At that time Dong-jae Dong-jae who must have suddenly thought of something began to hastily undo the bandages on his wrists with a thoughtful look on his face.

“Ugh! “Ugh!”

‘For some reason they gave me a bottle and medicine! I heard something was strong from the beginning! Isn’t there already some kind of curse? ‘Aaaah!’

He was afraid that these bandages might turn him into one of those black mummies.

Suho who saw the scene from afar tilted his head.

“…Why is it like that?”

[That’s right. A guy who looks like a bug skin is so timid. Tsk tsk.]

Ber clicked his tongue and pouted at Suho.

And then he looked around with a serious expression.

[More than that Little Lord. The atmosphere is somewhat strange.]

“I felt it too.”

Suho left all the fighting to Mira and had been watching for signs around him ever since.

Then I ended up finding something strange.

Wayeng-

The very small sound of flying insects that can be heard if you listen carefully.

Suho and Ber’s gaze turned upward at the same time.

‘punishment.’

Far away in the air an extremely ordinary… tiny bee was flying.

Of course it was just one bee.

But does that make sense?

“An ordinary bee comes to live in a magic cave like this? “There are no flowers?”

[There is no way honey can come from those thorn vines.]

“Is that so too?”

Suho and Ver looked at each other with confident eyes and nodded.

A-level villain Lee Min-seong.

And the ‘bee’ wings attached to his back.

‘Could it be that he’s hiding here somewhere?’

If so it was truly unfortunate.

But after thinking that way and looking at the surrounding scenery again with new eyes…

‘Is it a huge beehive?’

A courtyard structure with an open center.

Is it because of my mood that the entire Times Square building looks like a beehive?

In that sense they had already entered the hive on their own.

Wow!

Before I knew it the number of flying bees was increasing one by one.

Of course no matter how much the punishment increased it was no threat at all to hunters with superhuman strength.

“It might be a bit dangerous if it was a wasp but….”

Sigh!

“…!”

At that time Suho’s sense stats suddenly sounded a warning.

I turned my head to look there and opened my mouth.

“Wow that makes sense.”

It’s a wasp.

Wow!

Hundreds if not thousands of hornets were swarming here from all over Times Square.

“That might be a bit dangerous.”

[This is not an ordinary wasp! Each and every one of them contains magical power!]

[Contaminated Wasp]

[Contaminated Wasp]

How on earth did it become contaminated?

I don’t know what it was but it was a very ominous name.

Suho urgently looked back at the hunters and shouted.

“Everyone be careful! “This is no ordinary swarm of bees!”

“…!”

The eyes of the hunters who belatedly raised their heads widened at those words.

The White Tiger Guild members who had more developed senses than ordinary hunters seemed to have noticed it sooner and immediately took countermeasures.

“Don’t panic! “There are a lot of them but in the end they are just flying insects!”

“Block access with defense skills!”

“Intercept the summoners with flame insects!”

“Yes yes!”

Hunters grit their teeth and fight back.

Grumble! Grumble!

The flame insects flew up in a hurry.

“Wow! “This is the first time something like this has happened!”

I was busy dealing with the swarming thorny vines but suddenly there was a wasp!

However this was not particularly embarrassing to Suho who had experienced all sorts of things in just two days.

Slurp.

Suho calmly takes out the dual swords from his inventory.

Because of the panic no one thought it strange that the sword suddenly appeared in Suho’s hand.

Even if there were people who saw it it was not unusual for a summoner to summon something.

Suho calmly observed the situation and then shouted to the summoners.

“Please explode all the flame insects in front of them!”

“yes? And if they try to avoid it…!”

As we saw earlier it takes time to re-summon Flamebugs. I had to use it as much as possible.

“I will do something about that!”

“all right!”

Hearing Suho’s confident words the summoners moved the flame insects without a word.

Since I had already seen Suho’s abilities as a fellow summoner I could never take his words lightly.

“now!”

As soon as Suho said those words numerous flame insects exploded in the air.

Kwakwakwak!

The wasps were just about to disperse to avoid the explosion.

[Use ‘Skill: Storm Slash’.]

Wow!

The sword strike struck at just the right time engulfed the red-hot explosion caused by the flame bug and the wasps all at once.

[The contaminated wasp has been killed.]

[The contaminated wasp has been killed.]

[The contaminated wasp has been killed.]

….

Many of the black wasps that had been flocking turned into ashes and flew away.

“That’s it!”

Hunters who bring joy.

However the more knowledgeable Baekho Guild members’ eyes widened in a different sense.

‘How can a summoner have skills like that?!’

The swordsmanship that Suho just displayed was comparable to that of a combat hunter.

No even if you have skills.

Are you saying that you have enough mana to use such a powerful skill while summoning twenty mummies?

In particular Dongjae Dongjae’s expression was difficult to describe in words.

‘What what what what! ‘What the hell is that guy!’

My wrist which had undergone all treatment suddenly felt sore.

Why~!

But not all wasps disappeared.

After that the wasps that came from all directions continued to harass the hunters.

Eventually the wasps hid in the crevices of Woodbine’s thorn vines.

Then the situation got even trickier.

Every time you fight Woodbine it comes out from within and starts attacking without a sound.

Stinging.

“Ugh!”

In the end Dongjae Dongjae who was fighting at the forefront was stung by a bee sting on the back of his hand.

At that moment his arms became stiff and the true face of the ‘contaminated wasp’ was revealed.

“Kwaaaak!”

The blood vessels that turned green along the back of my hand stood out as if they were about to burst and continued to the back of my arm.

A suspicious phenomenon at first glance.

Gu Dong-jae was sick and tired of seeing his arm bulging as if it was about to explode at any moment.

“Healer! Healer!”

Unfortunately since we were fighting at the front it was too far to get back to where the healer was.

Eventually those rust-colored blood vessels encroached on his arms and then on to his shoulders…

at that time.

Suddenly!

“…!”

Dongjae Dongjae’s entire arm was cut off.

Suho suddenly appeared and mercilessly cut off his arm.

“first aid.”

“…Ugh!”

Push shoo!

You damn bastard! What kind of emergency treatment is this?

Blood spurted out like a fountain from Gu Dong-jae’s shoulder as he fell down on the spot in contemplation.

Squeak.

[I purchased ‘Item: Mummy’s Bandages’.]

[Use ‘Item: Mummy’s Bandage’.]

Whirling!

A white bandage flew from Suho’s hand and wrapped around Dongjae Dongjae’s shoulder.

Wow!

When I tightened my grip miraculously the bleeding stopped immediately.

‘It kills the item effect.’

Now the healer will take care of the rest.

I could have used a potion but there was no time for that. Moreover a B-level healer from the White Tiger Guild would be able to regenerate even a severed arm.

‘More than that.’

Suho’s eyes quickly looked at Dongjae Dongjae’s cut off arm.

Forearms stained with an ominous dark green color.

“Full explanation. “Explain.”

[Yes.]

From earlier Ber had been looking at Dongjae Dongjae’s forearm with an expression as if he knew something.

[The Lord of Plague the king of bugs had a similar ability. Maybe… it might have something to do with the Lord of Bugs.]

Suho looked at Ber and asked.

“You said that the king of bugs also died in the war right?”

[yes. All the monarchs are dead.]

“What’s your name?”

[Quaresha the king of bugs and the lord of plague.]

Ber’s eyes flashed and he answered immediately.

[Very strong… she was crazy.]

“hmm. So what kind of ability is it?”

[This is the ability to inject poison into the body and turn it into a host for poisonous insects.]

“host?”

[To put it nicely it’s a host but it’s just a zombie full of maggots. However when the maggots grow poisonous insects like that are born again.]

“This is the worst.”

Suho raised his head and glared at the swarms of bees that continued to fly.

And then I looked around again.

The really worst thing was that this area was gradually becoming a maze.

Woodbine was only a small part of the brambles that covered Times Square.

The remaining numerous vines twitched and tangled together turning into a tall and complex thorn wall that began to separate the hunters.

“It’s dangerous if we scatter!”

“Quickly come over here!”

The hunters move in a hurry confused by the wall of thorns that suddenly rises from the floor.

‘The situation in the dungeon is getting more and more dire.’

labyrinth.

A living labyrinth was being born.

If this happens the hunters will eventually lose their way and disperse among themselves.

I didn’t know when the thorn wall would suddenly turn into Woodbine and attack me.

And the only free being in this complicated maze is…

‘Those are bees.’

In the end my first thought was right.

They ended up entering the kingdom of giant bees.

Suho suddenly thought about the ecology of bees.

Most bees were workers who moved according to orders.

So that means in the end….

“I think there’s a culprit somewhere that’s driving those guys.”

[I think I know that.]

It was Ver who quickly responded to Suho’s muttering.

“uh? “How can you?”

[Do you understand me?]

“…!”

For some reason Ber’s antennae had been twitching non-stop since a while ago.
