Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 87
by Jessie@AFNCC
Episode 87
The third dungeon in Pyeongtaek had already turned into a jungle with a bizarre landscape.
A field-type dungeon where erosion has been completely completed becomes a world completely separate from the Earth’s ecosystem.
However this place was not designated as D-class for nothing.
The level of the wandering demons was weak and their numbers were small.
But what was more difficult was the jungle itself.
[There are traps everywhere Master.]
“Hi!”
When Quay appeared from Suho’s shadow Lim Do-gyun was scared and took a step back.
The speed was quite fast but I was afraid that if I fell too far away I would be caught in a trap so I quickly returned and hid behind Suho’s back.
“Esil is coming too.”
When Suho opened the door to the shadow dungeon Esil who had been waiting underneath also appeared.
“Are you here this time?”
Seeing Esil looking around with his senses aroused Lim Do-gyun looked at Su-ho’s shadow with a curious expression.
“Suho. No guild leader. “Can I go in here too?”
“You can go in. but.”
[This shadow is the world of death. If a person with life carelessly steps in their life may be taken away and they may become dead and wander the nine heavens.]
“omg. “Really?”
[Of course it’s a joke.]
“….”
Ber chuckled as he looked at Lim Do-gyun’s cold expression.
[But it is not completely wrong. It wouldn’t be very healthy for the average human being. In many ways.]
“ah.”
At that moment Lim Do-gyun realized something and his body trembled.
‘Esil may look like a human but he is ultimately a summoned beast…’
Lim Do-gyun only knew Eshil as a demon summoned by Su-ho.

Then in the end…
Aren’t you the only ordinary person here?
Of course Suho was also human but bringing these strange guys out of the shadows was no longer normal.
“Hmm. “Then I’ll just run away like I always do…”
Lim Do-gyun’s position is a miner and collector.
However when such work was actually needed Su-ho summoned the shadow mummies and made them do the work so what Lim Do-gyun actually did was act as a guide providing Su-ho with information he knew from his previous dungeon experience.
“Guild leader! As long as you don’t get lost in a dungeon like this it won’t be too difficult. Usually in places like this the path is marked by dropping stones on the ground at intervals…”
“I told you that last time bro.”
“….”
The foundation was slowly running out.
‘Once the guild is established I’ll have to ask them to return to office work.’
As the hunt for the demonic beast began in earnest there was even less work for Lim Do-gyun to do.
All you have to do is avoid the vicious shadow soldiers in battle so as not to interfere with them.
But that was then.
Lim Do-gyun’s expression became serious after discovering something.
“Suho look here.”
“What is it bro?”
“…It’s a human corpse.”
It was common for human corpses to be found on the floor of a dungeon.
But the problem was its shape.
“It’s a dead body that has turned into mist burn.”
Charred corpses.
Mist burn was a phenomenon that occurred when civilians with low magical adaptability were exposed to magical energy for a long time.
And if you run away and run around and run out of fuel you will collapse and die like this.
“But this….”
“It’s definitely strange.”
Suho also had a serious expression.
Bodies that had been reduced to ashes were piled up in one place.
As if someone brought these bodies here and dumped them all at once.
At that moment only one thought came to Suho’s mind.
“No way is this….”
“I know. “I think that’s right.”
It was none other than Esil who responded to Suho’s words.
“I guess demons have built a nest here.”
Factory.
These abandoned corpses were leftovers from demons making stardust.
When he realized that fact Esil’s eyes burned quietly.

Esil the eldest daughter of the Radir family which was completely ruined by demons.
Lim Do-gyun quickly ran back due to the dense life oozing from her entire body.

Manager Lee Young-ho gritted his teeth.
“How dare you ignore Hyeonmu?”
It was absurd.
“Could it be that he is so tactless?”
I never imagined that even though I threatened him so blatantly he would just go inside.
‘Isn’t life a waste?’
Manager Lee Young-ho ran a calculator in his head for a moment.
In any case Seong Su-ho was a relative of CEO Yoo Jin-ho.
Here if Seong Su-ho went missing CEO Jin-ho Yoo would immediately realize that it was their fault.
‘Will there be any harm to us if that happens?’
No.
The business with Hyeonmu Guild and Ajin Soft has already completely ended with the last incident.
Moreover no matter how famous Ajin Soft is isn’t it just a place that makes games?
As long as it is not a hunter game-related business the hunter guild would not suffer any loss if it lost the company in the first place.
‘Rather you’re the one who has to be careful on the road at night.’
In any case the Hunters were an armed group with tremendous power.
Especially in today’s times if you fight with hunters your life is in danger.
There were many cases where the assets of rich conglomerates were destroyed in an instant without knowing when and where the gate would open and the demonic beasts would attack.
So these days more and more large companies are making efforts to establish hunter guilds.
‘This time CEO Yoo Jin-ho also tried to establish a guild with Seong Su-ho at the forefront.’
The calculation is complete.
Manager Lee Young-ho’s eyes were filled with life.
‘Seong Su-ho. Today is your memorial day.’
His gaze turned to the official in charge of the Pyeongtaek dungeon.
“No matter how much I think about it I can’t do it.”
“Yes yes? “What are you saying?”
Manager Lee Young-ho looked at the embarrassed civil servant with a look of genuine concern.
“I’m really worried about the juniors who entered first. Isn’t that right? “Does it make sense for two young people to go into a dungeon for no reason?”
“That’s true but….”
At the words of Manager Lee Young-ho civil servants began to worry about the hunters who entered first.
In the first place since this was a field-type dungeon at least two hunters could enter but if it were a regular gate only at least 10 people could enter.
And one more thing.
“Anyway isn’t it possible for multiple raids to attack field dungeons at the same time? We are worried about those juniors so we will follow them right away. “Is this possible according to the regulations?”
Suho’s attack team which bid for this dungeon first entered first so it wasn’t a big problem for later teams to enter.
“Well it’s the rule that you go in right away….”
“Uh-huh! Have you seen this inflexible person! It’s just the two of us going in aren’t you worried? In the meantime if those friends have already become the devil’s prey are you going to take responsibility?! Do you even know who the young man who was talking to me just now is?”
“yes? “Who is this?”
“He is a very close relative of Ajin Soft CEO Yoo Jin-ho! “If we don’t go in to save him right away that sharp-faced master might already be dead!”
“omg.”
The civil servant’s eyes widened as he heard Manager Lee Young-ho’s words.
Whatever it was he was only a low-level civil servant.
If a problem arises the first person to take responsibility is…!
“I’ll write you an entry permit right now!”
Manager Lee Young-ho smiled at the civil servant’s actions as he hurriedly turned over the files.
“Let’s go kids.”
You have to pay the price yourself for ruining our business.
His smile was even crueler.

“This way.”
Essil is walking ahead searching for signs of the devil.
Suho was hunting the demon beasts and following them.
To begin with this was a D-class dungeon so the level of magical beasts was low.
As a result the area was pushed out of the priority list for hunters due to lack of money and access to civilians was also restricted.
‘It’s the perfect area to secretly build a factory.’
In fact all the dungeons that Suho went through to build his career were like this.
However this was the first time traces of demons were discovered.
Suho held the ‘Horn of Volkan’ in his hand.
[Item: Volkan’s Horn]
Difficulty of acquisition: ??
Type: Sword
Attack Power +40
A sword made from the horn of the greedy demon Volkan.
Empowered by Volkan it deals more damage.
-Effect ‘Desire for Destruction’: Increases physical damage by [40%].
-Effect ‘Demon Predator’: As he feasts on the souls of demons Volkan’s power becomes stronger.
[Devoured Demon Souls: 10]
As Volkan’s horn absorbs devil souls its attack power gradually increases.
‘I hope there are more demons in this factory.’
Suho slowly licked his lips and explored his surroundings.
But that was then.
Squirt-!
Suddenly an arrow flew from behind at great speed and targeted Suho’s back.
Suho who sensed a presence was about to turn around.
[Who dares…!]
Kwasik!
Quay appeared first caught the arrow and broke it.
And then his eyes widened in the direction from which the arrow came.
[Are you aiming for the master?]
“What is it a summoned beast?”
Those who appeared from behind a tree in the distance were none other than the Hyeonmu Guild.
“They said he was a summoner but he was someone who could summon some pretty decent people right? “If he had come our way he would have been quite happy.”
Manager Lee Young-ho is leisurely evaluating Su-ho with his arms crossed behind them.
Suho’s mouth rose and a chuckle escaped him.
“You’re crossing the line.”
“line? The little bastard said that. “You crossed the line first.”
From the moment he entered the dungeon Manager Youngho Lee had removed all social pretense.
He glared at Suho with an extremely cruel smile.
“Kid you know that? In this place the stronger one is the law. “Do you know that it’s a diet of the fittest?”
“It’s a diet of the fittest….”
That sounds familiar.
[The Lord of the Beasts the Fang Lord shows his teeth and says he knows something.]
It was then.
Tiring.
[An emergency quest has occurred.]
Evidence that Manager Lee Young-ho’s actions were sincere arrived in front of Su-ho.
[Urgent Quest: Defeat the enemies!]
There are people around with murderous intentions towards the ‘player’. Kill them all to ensure safety.
Number of enemies to kill: 10
Number of enemies killed: 0
“I have confirmed your sincerity.”
The moment Suho nodded his eyes suddenly changed.
Creepy.
Looking at those eyes Manager Lee Young-ho suddenly realized that he was nervous and his pride was hurt.
‘What am I doing against only a C-level prospect…’
He was trying to shake off the ominous feeling saying that it was because he had neglected dungeon hunting and was just running sales these days.
“Look at his eyes. Anyway these days…”
It was the moment when he was about to order his guild members to attack Suho in earnest.
Whoa!
“…!”
Suddenly a tremendous amount of deadly force poured out from all directions and numerous screams erupted.
“What is this?!”
Hunters of the Hyeonmu Guild are embarrassed and wary of their surroundings.
And at that moment my eyes widened at the sight of demons pouring out of the jungle.
Suho’s eyes widened in a different way.
‘I found it! ‘They’re demons!’
After all there was a factory nearby!
However Manager Lee Young-ho fought against the demons that suddenly attacked and gritted his teeth at Su-ho.
“You bastard! “Did you summon these guys too?”
