Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 75



Episode 75

Lee Min-seong managed to escape from Queen Arsha but even after that he had to run away while being chased by the corrupted lancers.

The Lancers were clearly weaker than Lee Min-seong but it was impossible to kill them.

Every time Lee Min-seong tried to kill them a powerful message would ring out in Lee Min-seong’s head and he would suffer from a huge headache.

-Obey your queen!

-Obey your queen!

[Whoa! shut up! Shut up!]

Lee Min-seong really looked like he was going to turn around.

If I let go of my mind even a little the desire to immediately go back to the queen bee on my own kneel down and swear allegiance arose.

-Obey your queen!

[stop! stop! Please get it out of my head!]

Lee Min-seong tried everything to escape the voice but it was no use.

Even though I covered my ears and slammed my head on the floor the voice did not stop.

It was natural.

It wasn’t a voice in the first place.

The instinct of a worker bee born again for the queen bee.

And it was a very humiliating feeling for Lee Min-seong who had always reigned supreme over others.

-Obey the queen…!

[I refuse! I am not a worker bee!]

He gritted his teeth and forcibly suppressed his instincts.

And ironically the place where he managed to hide while avoiding the pursuit of the Lancers was the Vice President’s office of the Reaper Guild.

[Whoa. Yes this is where I belong. It’s not like a beehive.]

He was breathing heavily and was about to take wine out of the cellar and drink it as was his usual habit but his expression suddenly crumpled.

[…It was because of this!]

This wine in his hand was the culprit of this situation.

The premium wine Royal Jelly that ‘Madame’ always gave me as a gift every time I visited Queen Bee.

This was the queen bee’s poison!

[I drank this stuff every day so I ended up like this…!]

sudden!

Lee Min-seong raised the wine bottle high to throw it but paused for a moment.

[…for a moment.]

When I saw this queen bee’s venom I suddenly had a good idea.

A way to suppress the instincts of worker bees came to mind.

If you use this…

[Maybe I can create my own army.]

Lee Min-seong poured his magic into the queen bee’s royal jelly.

In this way he dyed the properties of royal jelly with his own colors.

[good. Now if you are poisoned by this poison you will not be a queen bee but will turn into a soldier loyal to me.]

Lee Min-seong absorbed the newly prepared royal jelly into his own stinger.

Then he went straight outside and attacked low-level hunters and injected them with royal jelly.

But for some reason they died on the spot.

[Tsk. Weak guys. I can’t stand this much poison.]

Lee Min-seong clicked his tongue and went looking for stronger mid-level hunters.

However the results are the same for intermediate hunters.

They all vomited blood and died from poisoning.

[Why do I keep dying?]

The Ministry of Immigration was confused.

Is there something wrong with your royal jelly?

He continued to attack the hunters again and again until he figured out the reason.

Then finally a success story emerged.

However the target was… a hunter from the Shinigami guild he belonged to.

[…is it a coincidence?]

At first I thought it was just a coincidence.

But it wasn’t.

No matter how many times I tried the experiment the only ones who survived the royal jelly without dying were the Hunters of the Reaper Guild.

[How did this happen?]

Eventually Lee Min-seong realized the reason.

[Could it be because they have been following me from the beginning?]

In the first place royal jelly was a poison that created worker bees.

The object of that loyalty was of course the queen bee.

[But I am not the queen.]

Even if they were forced to be loyal to Lee Min-seong who was at most just a worker bee there were no worker bees who would be loyal.

However the only exception was the Shinigami guild members who had been his subordinates from the beginning.

Basically loyalty to ‘Vice President Lee Min-seong’ was engraved in their minds.

The reason for that loyalty was at best a shallow master-servant relationship tied to salary and rank but ironically it was the most tightly bonded master-servant relationship among humans.

When Lee Min-seong realized the principle he burst into laughter.

[So does this mean that the royal jelly containing my magical power only works on Shinigami guild members? Hehehe. That’s fun. It’s really fun.]

Somehow I felt that the appearance of the slaves created with my own royal jelly was very different from the ‘lance knights’ that resembled soldiers.

The slaves of Lee Min-seong were reborn as ‘contaminated ghouls’ which resembled humans more than bees.

[Hehe. This may also be fate.]

It was better.

If I used this ability I might be able to take everything away from that unlucky bastard Lim Tae-gyu.

No the position of guild leader was not suitable for a guy like that from the beginning.

[As expected Lim Tae-gyu suited me better when he was my driver? While I’m at it I’m going to poison him too and make him my slave.]

I wasn’t sure if my royal jelly would work on S-classes but if it worked it would be a huge success.

That child was once a driver who obeyed his commands so the possibility was high.

Lee Min-seong felt good when he thought about making Lim Tae-gyu his slave.

In fact being reborn as a worker bee wasn’t all bad.

Aside from the instinct to be loyal to the queen bee there were many more good things about it.

The queen bee melted and compressed all of her human immigration and recreated herself as a highly evolved fighting race.

It’s a bit unfortunate that all the skills I had when I was human disappeared because of that but aren’t skills ultimately for combat?

By condensing all that power I was able to obtain a transcendent body specialized for combat which was actually a great benefit.

I thought that maybe at my current level I could beat Tae-gyu Lim as well.

[Hehe. In fact he is S-class but Lim Tae-gyu is just an archer who shoots his bow from behind. If you poison them first and then make them unable to use their weapons you have a good chance of winning…]

…That’s how Lee Min-seong came this far.

All of his plans have been successful so far and as a result Lim Tae-gyu is now standing in front of him looking exhausted.

‘We can win now!’

Lee Min-seong was confident.

He will beat Lim Tae-gyu who did not want to see him with his own hands trample on his face and spit on him.

And just like before the cataclysm he planned to make her his slave and use him for the rest of his life…

‘What on earth is that person next to me?’

Lee Min-seong felt an ominous feeling as he looked at Su-ho next to Lim Tae-gyu.

It’s like having a queen bee in front of you…

No if she were the queen bee she would have felt more pressure to be loyal but Suho felt a completely different feeling.

horror.

Pure fear rose up as if I was facing a natural enemy.

‘Why? ‘You don’t look very strong?’

Since becoming a worker bee Lee Min-seong’s sense of assessing the level of others has developed extremely.

Judging from the magical power currently felt in Suho it was clear that he was a C-class hunter.

No matter how well you play it will only be at B-grade level.

In fact the person who was more threatening than him was Baek Mi-ho the A-class hunter next to him.

But why?

Why do I want to run away from here right now?

Why has my body become stiff like a frog in front of a snake?

‘The natural enemy of insects’

This uncomfortable feeling touched Lee Min-seong’s pride.

[…He’s a bad guy.]

Lee Min-seong worked hard to shake off the anxiety he felt and showed off his full potential.

Quaoooo!

A tremendous energy swirled around Lee Min-seong.

On the other hand Suho was feeling the exact opposite of Lee Minseong.

‘He’s definitely stronger than me but I don’t think he can lose.’

Suho immediately opened the store window.

Squeak.

[I purchased ‘Item: Quiver (100)’.]

[I purchased ‘Item: Quiver (100)’.]

At that moment two heavy arrow quivers were held in Suho’s hands.

“Now if you can’t use magic arrows use these instead.”

“…!”

Lim Tae-gyu who was suddenly handed a quiver of arrows looked at Su-ho with wide eyes.

“Where did something like this suddenly come from…?!”

“I’m a summoner.”

It was Suho who shrugged his shoulders brushing aside the excuses.

“Of course it’s not free? You will be billed for it all later so don’t be frugal and spend it generously. “I’ll give it to you again when I use it up.”

“That’s right! “Thank you!”

Lim Tae-gyu nods his head with a bright expression.

Now it didn’t matter whether Suho was a healer or a summoner.

You can worry about that later.

Soon Tae-gyu Lim turned his head towards the enemies and his expression suddenly turned vicious.

The ‘Reaper’s Bow’ was an S-class weapon that could kill demonic beasts with ordinary arrows.

The moment it was held in the hands of the strongest S-class bowman in Korea along with the arrow.

He truly became a hunter.

Shoo shoo shoo shoo!

Lim Tae-gyu’s arrow pierced the heads and hearts of the ghouls attacking from all directions.

“Leave all checks to me and you only catch Lee Min-seong!”

I wanted to personally defeat Lee Min-seong but I had already confirmed that it was impossible as I had no magic power.

Now I could no longer delay time with my own greed.

The full-scale battle began with Lim Tae-gyu’s shout.

“Let’s go!”

“Yes yes!”

Su-ho and Baek Mi-ho ran out towards Lee Min-seong.

[Kiririk!]

At that moment the wings of a shadow lancer appeared behind Suho and Baek Mi-ho.

Wedge-!

They flew toward Immigration Castle at incredible speed and launched an onslaught.

Schwak! bang! Boom!

[It’s slow.]

However Lee Min-seong laughed at them and easily avoided the attacks.

‘How is this speed?!’

Baek Mi-ho urgently warned Su-ho about Lee Min-seong’s movements.

“Suho be careful! “Just looking at the speed it’s far beyond Class A!”

Was that nice to hear?

Lee Min-seong raised the corners of his mouth with an extremely ecstatic expression.

[Hehehe! That’s right! I have already surpassed humanity. Your slow attacks can’t even touch my body!]

“Oh really?”

I flinch.

Lee Min-seong’s mood instantly became uncomfortable due to Su-ho’s trivial response.

No matter how hard you try to ignore it Suho’s existence itself continues to be noticed.

[…That won’t work. I’ll kill you first!]

Lee Min-seong explodes with ferocious energy and flies straight toward Su-ho.

And just as the sharp spear in his hand was about to pierce Suho’s heart.

Smirk.

Suho laughed.

‘I’ve been waiting for this moment.’

Suho shouted his eyes flashing.

“Come out!”

…!

Shwaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Suddenly numerous black rays of light erupted from Su-ho’s body and simultaneously rushed towards Lee Min-seong.

[This is…?!]

At that moment Lee Min-seong’s eyes widened and a feeling of embarrassment appeared.

It was visible from the perspective of a worker bee that transcended humans.

The identity of those rays of light.

Lancer.

The Queen Bee’s Lancers who had been pursuing him so persistently had appeared!

[This is ridiculous…]

Lee Min-seong was scared and turned sharply right before he attacked Su-ho.

Anyway my speed was much faster than those guys.

Even though it’s too close you can run away…!

chin.

“…!”

Suddenly Su-ho held the tip of Lee Min-seong’s spear which was trying to stab his heart with his hand.

“I got you.”

[Let go!]

Lee Min-seong is startled and tries to shake off Su-ho with all his might.

But it was already too late.

“Kill me.”

[Kiririk!]

[Kihiyit-!]

The spears of the shadow lancers flew from all directions and began to mercilessly hack Lee Min-seong’s body.
