Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 63



Episode 63

“…What now?”

Lim Tae-gyu the leader of the Reaper Guild could not believe his ears.

“Our kids are missing?”

“yes. To be precise they are still disappearing even now.”

“Are you sure he really went missing and wasn’t just drinking and stretching out?”

“yes. “I think I was kidnapped.”

“Does it make sense for Hunter to be kidnapped?”

It was absurd.

It’s possible that all the guild members who suddenly lost contact over the past few days have been kidnapped.

But Secretary Oh’s expression was serious.

“I was skeptical at first but I obtained a CCTV video from the planning office a little while ago. Take a look at this…”

“….”

Lim Tae-gyu’s expression was already becoming more and more serious as he took the USB given by Secretary Oh and plugged it into the computer.

The fact that something like a video file could have been given via email or messenger was sent via USB was a sign of concern for security.

And recently there was only one situation in the guild where that was possible.

Vice President Lee Min-seong who became a villain and went into hiding.

‘no way….’

Now because of that guy alone the image of the guild in Korea has completely fallen to the ground.

No matter how much they tried to excuse themselves by saying they didn’t know anything there was no way people would easily believe them.

The Hunter Association also continued to put pressure on Lee Min-seong saying there might be Lee Min-seong’s conspirators within the guild.

“shit.”

In the end Lim Tae-gyu’s expression became horribly distorted when he checked the video that Secretary Oh gave him.

In the video a Shinigami guild member was standing blankly on the street.

Then suddenly someone quickly snatched his body.

When Secretary Oh pressed the space bar to freeze the screen the face of the being that had snatched the guild member was vaguely visible.

Although the quality of the picture was a bit poor there was no way Lim Tae-gyu who has known Lee Min-seong for a long time would not recognize the face.

At that moment a lump of complicated emotions welled up in my heart.

“Lee Min-seong… this bastard is real!”

Quang!

He slammed his fist and the desk split in two.

Secretary Oh startled hurriedly took a step back.

Secretary Oh had been assisting Lim Tae-gyu for quite some time but this was the first time I had seen him like this.

That’s how much Lim Tae-gyu was truly angry.

“Ha Minseong….”

Lim Tae-gyu rested his back helplessly on the president’s chair and let out a deep sigh.

The fluorescent lights on the ceiling were blinking uneasily.

“Why did you really become like this?…”

Regardless of whether he was the president vice president guild or Hunter High School Lee Min-seong was his old friend.

No he was a proud friend.

He has always shined since he was young.

At one time I was proud of the fact that I was his friend.

Before the cataclysm.

Even when he asked me to be his driver.

The reason why I readily accepted the offer.

Wasn’t it because it was fun to play with that guy in the first place?

-Taegyu you drive my car.

-what? suddenly?

-Anyway we meet every day and hang out but if you take the wheel we can keep playing together even when you’re working right?

-I see. So do you also give me a salary?

-I’ll pay you more than the manager. I always buy alcohol anyway so you could just save up the money and buy a house.

The reason why Lee Min-seong originally appointed him as a driver rather than a manager was because the manager had a lot of work to do and would not have time to play.

From then on it was really fun.

Didn’t he follow movie star Lee Min-seong visit filming sets and eventually marry an actress he met through his introduction?

At that time Lee Min-seong and himself were truly indispensable friends.

But since when did things get so twisted?

Really how…

no.

‘I knew the truth.’

I just pretended not to know.

Lim Tae-gyu clearly remembered that moment.

After the world suddenly changed due to a cataclysm.

After suddenly awakening to an S-class hunter.

‘The day I bought my first drink.’

The first large amount of money I earned after becoming a hunter.

The moment the enormous amount of money was deposited into his bank account the first thing Lim Tae-gyu did was to drink alcohol to his grateful friend who always bought him drinks and meals.

-Hey I did the calculations today?

-…what?

-I was sorry that I had always been the victim of this. From now on I too will live.

-….

An awkward expression appeared on Lee Min-seong’s face at that time.

I still don’t know what that feeling was.

But it started that day.

Immigration characteristics began to gradually change.

Then the moment Lee Min-seong awakened to become an A-level hunter one level lower than himself.

He really turned into a different person.

He suddenly began to express a huge sense of inferiority towards himself as if all the friendships he had built up over the years had never happened.

‘Why does this guy still have so much…’

They say that what you really can’t understand is the human mind.

Lim Tae-gyu has never once accepted the fact that he became an S-class hunter as luck.

Good luck and bad luck are two sides of the same coin.

That day was full of luck.

He was lucky enough to have a talent for magic and became an S-class awakened person but his wife who was by his side was enveloped in a blue fog and turned into a mist burn.

And… he attacked his only son.

The day of awakening.

That extremely lucky day.

In the end Lim Tae-gyu had to use that power to kill not only his beloved wife but also something that was his wife.

The very day when I lost everything.

The only friend who remained by my side at that time…

It was Lee Min-seong.

“Ha really how did this happen….”

Lim Tae-gyu pressed his thumb against his throbbing head and gritted his teeth.

And I stared intently at Lee Min-seong’s face beyond the monitor next to the shattered desk.

His demon-like expression clearly visible even in a blurry state had no trace of its former luster.

“so.”

Secretary Oh trembled at the extremely cold voice that came out of Lim Tae-gyu’s mouth.

“Why do you think Lee Min-seong kidnapped our guild members?”

“I don’t know. Couldn’t it be revenge? “After the incident occurred we first cut off Vice President Lee Min-seong…”

“no. “If revenge was your goal you could have just killed them. There would have been no need to kidnap them.”

In fact Lee Min-seong was attacking hunters who were not part of the Reaper Guild these days and they were all killed on the spot.

Come to think of it Lee Min-seong’s back captured on CCTV had what looked like insect wings attached to it.

According to experts’ analysis its wings are most similar to those of bees among insects….

“Punishment….”

Tae-gyu Lim thought about punishment with a cold head.

Bees were insects that lived in groups.

“…Could it be that the purpose of the kidnapping was to increase the number of companions? By making him suffer the same punishment as himself?”

“yes? “I’ve never even heard of such a skill.”

Secretary Oh’s eyes widen and he shakes his head saying this is nonsense.

“I don’t know. That greedy guy might have paid a lot of money to buy a rune stone with amazing skills.”

“….”

Jump up.

After gathering his thoughts for a moment Lim Tae-gyu suddenly stood up.

“Tell this to the planning team. From now on find a dungeon where bees can live.”

“The dungeon?”

“okay. “In this small place in Korea the only place a villain can hide is a dungeon.”

“Yes I will deliver it right away… Huh? Where are you going all of a sudden?”

“Weapons room.”

Secretary Oh couldn’t help but be taken aback by Lim Tae-gyu’s actions of giving an order and immediately walking out of the president’s office.

As Lim Tae-gyu headed toward the weapons room an enormous amount of speculation was surging from his body.

The S-class hunter overcome with anger began to move.

* * *

That time.

Suho was holding the neck of the last remaining lancer.

“Kakek! “Kek!”

The face of the Lance Knight who was struggling with his legs hanging on one of Suho’s hands was filled with fear.

“Let me ask you just one question.”

Suho looked straight into the guy’s eyes and asked.

“Where is your master?”

“Kirik…!”

The Lance Knight who was struggling in Suho’s hands let out a gasp and fiercely bared his teeth.

“If you meet that person… you won’t be safe either…”

“I will decide on that. “Where are you?”

“Kiririk! “I think I’ll tell you…!”

“If you don’t like it don’t.”

Kwasik!

“…!”

Suho mercilessly breaks his neck.

[The Contaminated Lancer has been defeated.]

[Your level has risen!]

dump.

Suho opened his mouth to the body of the Lancer lying on the floor.

“You just have to ask your shadow.”

Suho looked at the black smoke creeping up from the corpses of the Lancers lying nearby.

[This is an extractable target.]

[This is an extractable target.]

[This is an extractable target.]

….

After Suho extracts and releases five shadow mummies.

I stretched out my hand towards the lancer’s shadows.

“Get up.”

Kiiiiaaaa!

At that moment the lancers’ cries of pain echoed everywhere.

Soon the shadows began to bubble up.

Kwasik! Kwasik!

Insect legs began to crawl out of the shadows.

And then he pulled his own body up from under hell.

Tiring!

[Shadow extraction was successful.]

[Shadow extraction was successful.]

[Shadow extraction was successful.]

….

“good. “It’s a new family member.”

Suho looked at the new shadow soldiers standing in front of him with a satisfied expression.

[Shadow Lancer Lv.1]

[Shadow Lancer Lv.1]

“I will ask.”

Everything!

At Suho’s words the five Shadow Lancers knelt in a solemn posture.

“Where is your old master?”

Everything!

At that question the lancers all pointed their spears toward the floor.

“under?”

[Kiririk!]

“Were you hiding underground?”

A smile slowly appeared on Suho’s lips.

It was then.

Squirt-!

At that moment new lance knights were swarming over Suho’s head.

The number is as many as dozens.

[Contaminated Spear Knight] [Contaminated Spear Knight]

[Contaminated Spear Knight] [Contaminated Spear Knight]

….

[Keeeeek! Little Lord I guess these five guys were just the advance guard!]

Ber is making a fuss for no reason.

But for some reason the corners of Ber’s mouth were turning upward.

“The more the better.”

Suho also smiled faintly and raised his head to look at them.

“Kiririk?!”

On the other hand the newly arrived Lancers could not help but be embarrassed.

Below shadow knights who looked just like them but with black vapor wafting all over their bodies stood guarding Suho.

And the little ant Berga stands tall on top of their heads…

[Welcome my new subordinates.]

He was chuckling the most evil laugh.
