Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 69



Episode 69

In order for Suho to sprint he had to use various buff skills that reduced mana in real time.

The mana I used could be recovered with potions but I didn’t know if I would have the time to do so when I arrived in front of the immigration castle.

‘You need to store as much stamina as possible. So that we can go straight into battle as soon as we arrive.’

So Suho decided to use Baekmiho who happened to be nearby.

“…Do you want me to carry you?”

“yes.”

“Am I Hunter Seong Su-ho?”

“yes. “I’m on my way there anyway so please give me a ride.”

“No wait a minute! Why is this person trying to be treated so casually…?!”

When Su-ho immediately tried to jump on his back Baek Mi-ho was very embarrassed and asked back.

“Are you serious right now?”

“So now is the time to leisurely joke?”

“and.”

Baek Mi-ho was momentarily dumbfounded by Su-ho’s shamelessness.

Looking at those serious eyes it seemed like it was definitely not a joke.

Not only were they not meant to be joking in the first place but what kind of crazy person would dare say such nonsense to the Vice President of the White Tiger Guild?

I already wanted you to carry me on my way!

Who do you know by taxi?

“I need to save up as much stamina as possible before I meet Lee Min-seong.”

“No then what about my physical strength!”

“If you’re an A-level hunter your stamina and magic power won’t drop if you carry me on your back right?”

“Yes that’s true but….”

“thank god. I’m in C grade so my stamina is weak. But you can’t take a break and fight as soon as you get there right?”

That makes sense?!

‘no! It doesn’t make sense it definitely doesn’t work….’

Baek Mi-ho was strangely persuaded by Su-ho’s words.

Of course because the situation was such an emergency I didn’t have time to refute everything he said.

But even if that wasn’t the case Suho was feeling a strange sense of ‘intimidation’ that couldn’t be expressed in words.

Yeah this feeling is like…

‘Why does it feel like I’m facing my father…’

[The Fang Lord the king of beasts chuckles and looks at the white-tailed fox.]

Baek Mi-ho didn’t even realize it.

That the greatest king of beasts was looking down on him from a faraway place.

The mighty force of the predator was implicitly flowing through the priest Su-ho and was putting pressure on the White Tailed Tiger.

Baek Mi-ho eventually closed her eyes and shouted.

“Oh okay! “It’s a waste of time to argue like this now…!”

Shwaaaaagh!

“oh.”

[Kihak?]

Suho and Ver’s eyes lit up at the same time as the beast energy exploded from Baekmiho’s whole body.

She realized why Rakan had been watching her from the realm of rest just now.

‘If it weren’t for me Rakan’s priest might have been this person?’

Beast shoes.

A mysterious ability that strengthens the human body like a beast.

I heard there was a rumor that Baek Yun-ho the leader of the White Tiger Guild would turn into a white tiger if he raised his power to the extreme.

But Baek Mi-ho…

“fox?”

Hwioooo.

Baek Mi-ho engulfed in the energy of an animal transformed into a nimble fox-like appearance and looked haughtily down at Su-ho.

Pure white hair flowing abundantly.

The pure white aura flowing over it created fox-like ears and a tail.

“That’s good. “Then are you going to piggyback me?”

Baek Mi-ho’s eyes were momentarily shaken by Su-ho’s sudden action of jumping on Baek Mi-ho’s back.

‘You’re not being pressured by my energy? A C-rank hunter?’

There is an instinctively determined hierarchy among hunters who use the same beast skills.

Of course it is possible to suppress or ignore that instinct with human will and tenacity but it was usually normal to react like the White Tiger Guild members behind them.

“Ugh! Vice President…!”

The White Tiger guild members who were following the momentum radiating from White Tailed Tiger were trembling as their complexions turned white.

Like animals facing a stronger predator.

But Suho was different.

Crack!

“Let’s go! Quickly!”

“….”

Like a cicada clinging to an old tree it was crying peacefully on its back.

There’s even a smaller noisier cicada on top of that cicada…

[You won’t be able to get off the ground you fox!]

“…Hold on tight.”

Baek Mi-ho clenched her teeth and her eyes flashed.

“Because I’m going to run with all my might.”

Taaat!

“…!”

At that moment White Miho’s new form carrying Suho became a ray of light and shot forward.

* * *

It is not as easy as one might think for a hunter to run at full speed in the city.

The problem is the pedestrians wandering irregularly on the streets. The moment an awakened person passes by the body of one of them while running ordinary people are literally thrown away like a bowling pin.

A traffic accident is more dangerous than being hit by a dump truck and if you are unlucky it is a major accident that can result in instant death or disability.

For a time immediately after the cataclysm such accidents occurred frequently.

This was a case where beginners who had just awakened were running around intoxicated with their own power and unintentionally caused a major accident.

However with the launch of the Hunter Association and the introduction of the Hunter Act there have been very few instances of hunters sprinting on the streets.

No matter how confident I was in my physical ability I tended to use transportation to get around most of the time.

However in an emergency situation like now things were different.

‘Move up the building as much as possible!’

Papa papa pap!

Baek Mi-ho carrying Su-ho on his back was jumping and moving over the buildings.

The speed was such that ordinary people could not dare follow it with their eyes.

“uh? Right now…”

“huh? what? “There’s nothing?”

“…Did I see it wrong?”

It was so fast that even if someone recognized it from afar and tried to take a picture it would already be gone by then.

Papa papa pap!

Suho was truly impressed by Baek Mi-ho’s movements.

‘It’s definitely fast. Is this the level of Class A?’

Su-ho was watching Baek Mi-ho’s movements to gauge the level of Lee Min-seong’s future fight.

[Hoo. It’s a pretty agile fox. Please continue to ride often.]

“Ber it’s rude to say that.”

“….”

Baek Mi-ho got a little angry at the peaceful conversation coming from behind her and pouted her lips.

Both the summoner and the summoned beast were extremely shameless.

“But really at this speed we’ll arrive in 20 minutes?”

[That’s right.]

As the conversation continued Baek Mi-ho finally opened her mouth.

“No really who knows who to use as a taxi…!”

It was then.

“but.”

Suho looked at Ber and said.

“The sooner the better.”

At those words Ber’s eyes narrowed and he smiled evilly.

[I will do as you command.]

Tiring!

[Berga uses ‘Skill: Harsh Command’.]

…!

The harsh commander Brockie ate the evil hyena and the buff skill Ber acquired was activated.

Since this buff was a skill that only applied to beasts it could also be used on the ‘animal’ that Suho was riding at this moment.

[‘Skill: Harsh Command’ increases White Tail Tiger’s abilities by 50%.]

[As a side effect of ‘Skill: Harsh Command’ White Tailed Tiger is cursed with madness.]

“…!”

At that moment Baek Mi-ho’s eyes suddenly changed.

A fierce anger bubbled up from deep in my heart and rose to the top of my head.

I don’t know if this anger is due to Suho and Ver’s chatter or if it’s because of this unknown buff skill.

“…crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

The moment you surrender yourself to this feeling.

My body became so fast that it felt like it was flying.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

“Good!”

[Kihehe!]

I feel angry.

Really.

* * *

In the end Suho succeeded in arriving at the scene in 10 minutes.

[‘Skill: Harsh Command’ is canceled.]

“are you okay?”

“…it’s okay.”

Baek Mi-ho who came back to her senses looked a little tired perhaps because she had worked harder than usual.

However this was a level that could be recovered quickly if one took a short breath and what was more important than that was the situation here.

“What the hell is this…”

Baek Mi-ho looked at the scene unfolding before her with a serious expression.

Strange-looking mutants were attacking citizens.

The hunters were busy trying to stop it but the problem was that the citizens who were attacked by the mutants were gradually rotting away and turning into new mutants.

It seemed like the situation would get out of hand if it wasn’t resolved quickly.

“oh my god. “A zombie outbreak in the middle of the city…”

“no. “It’s not a zombie.”

Suho immediately corrected Baek Mi-ho’s words.

“It’s a ghoul.”

In Suho’s eyes the name tags above the mutants’ heads were clearly visible.

[Contaminated Ghoul]

[Contaminated Ghoul]

[Contaminated Ghoul]

….

Zombies and ghouls are completely different.

While zombies are walking corpses ghouls are more similar to vampires.

To be exact a food-consuming ghost.

In other words while vampires are corpse-eating monsters that lust for human blood they are the ones that lust for human flesh.

Above all what differentiates ghouls from zombies is that ghouls are not dead corpses so they are not stupid.

But for some reason the ghouls here were more interested in killing people than eating them.

And the victims who were attacked by them gradually rotted away and emerged as new ghouls. Just like a zombie.

‘The goal of these guys is not simple massacre.’

Royal jelly used by queen bee Arsha to increase her soldiers.

The powerful poisonous energy was felt in the contaminated ghouls.

‘As Arsha said Lee Min-seong is now gathering his own army by increasing the number of ghouls.’

Suho quickly grasped the situation and looked at Ber.

“Ber.”

[yes.]

“Can you find Lee Min-seong?”

[I already found it.]

Ber’s antennae which had been twitching non-stop from earlier suddenly stopped.

Su-ho and Baek Mi-ho simultaneously raised their heads and looked up following the direction indicated.

And at the same time his expression hardened.

They say it’s dark under the lamp.

A 40-story residential-commercial complex built right in front of them.

A huge beehive had been created on the upper floor of the high-rise building that could only be seen if you looked up for a long time.

“…There’s an Immigration Castle at the top.”

Baek Mi-ho who heard the conversation between the two flashed his eyes and clenched his fists.

A tremendous force surged from his entire body.

“Hunter Seong Su-ho! Let’s move separately from now on. “I’m going to attack that hive so you stay here…”

“It looks like the electricity has been cut off. Are we going to take the stairs to the top?”

“I will take care of that. “Okay then?!”

“Oh wait a minute.”

Suho grabbed the back of Baek Miho who was about to run straight into the apartment.

“What is it!”

When Baek Mi-ho turned to Su-ho with a red-faced face in embarrassment Su-ho smiled and said.

“I brought you a ride when I came so I’ll give you a ride this time.”

Hilarious.

“Kya?!”

Baek Mi-ho looked back in shock when someone suddenly lifted her body up.

“…!”

[Shadow Lancer Lv.1]

normal grade

[Shadow Lancer Lv.1]

Just in time the Black Lancers rose from the guardian’s shadow.

The human-sized soldier bee with its black steam wafting was holding Su-ho and Baek Mi-ho from behind with its arms.

“We don’t have time so let’s fly.”
