Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 89



Episode 89

[Shadow extraction is possible.]

[Shadow extraction is possible.]

[Shadow extraction is possible.]

….

Black steam billowed violently over the corpses of the Hyeonmu Guild refusing to die.

And the moment Suho’s order was given.

Ahhh-!

Creepy sounds echoing in the air.

At the same time the black shadows of the corpses swirled furiously and began to form new bodies.

Shwaaaagh!

[Shadow Infantry Lv.1]

normal grade

[Shadow Spearman Lv.1]

normal grade

[Shadow Shield Soldier Lv.1]

normal grade

Even though they were the 2nd corps of the Hyeonmu Guild they were hunters who formed the perfect combination as an attack force.

Of course being extracted as a shadow soldier has the disadvantage of slightly weakening the power compared to when it was alive but it had a powerful advantage that was worth considering.

immortality!

The moment they become shadow soldiers who never die they turn into a demon-like army that rushes only to slaughter the enemy without any sacrifice.

[Kaaaa!]

[Woah!]

A thunderous roar erupted from their mouths as they had lost even the ability to speak.

[This can’t be right…!]

The transcendent mid-level demon who saw the guardian shadow soldiers could not help but be astonished.

This is ridiculous.

Something truly unbelievable happened.

Not only the mid-level demons here but all the demons still alive even after the War of the Lords ended were in fact the remnants of the defeated soldiers who hid from the war.

Therefore none of the demons here could properly see the Shadow Lord the winner of the war.

However the middle-level devil who is superior to ordinary low-level devils instinctively realized the identity of the death energy that was now spreading around Su-ho.

[Shadow army…!]

No the Shadow Lord would not be on Earth right now!

If the Shadow Lords were still on Earth they would never have dared to invade this place.

[Ugh! Yeah that can’t be possible! If you were a true Shadow Lord you would have annihilated us as soon as you saw us!]

The mid-level demon exploded with ferocious force and exploded his magical energy towards Suho.

Along with that all the lesser demons attacked Suho’s soldiers.

[Kill it! Kill them all! These guys will be used as valuable materials for our great plan!]

Qarring!

Lightning strikes from the sky again.

‘It’s a skill after all.’

Suho mercilessly cut down the demons and continued to watch the sky.

The lightning strike tore the shadow soldiers to pieces.

But it didn’t matter.

Shwaaaagh!

[Kihahaha!]

The torn bodies of the shadow soldiers returned to their original form along with black vapor.

Then like a demon he cut off the necks of the enemies in front of him and pierced their hearts.

[Khahaha!]

Among them the one who burst into laughter at the forefront was Manager Lee Young-ho who was reborn as an armored knight.

The moment he became a soldier of death he was pouring out his cruelty to demons as a faithful servant of Suho.

“Was he such a tough guy?”

Suho burst into laughter at his vicious fighting method of cutting off the heads of demons and using them as weapons.

‘Then I guess I can leave the small children to you.’

Mana was being sucked out as the shadow soldiers regenerated over and over again.

[I purchased ‘Item: Intermediate Mana Potion’.]

Suho drank the mana potion and called Esil.

“Esil!”

“okay!”

Now I notice right away even if I don’t say anything.

The attack power of Volkan’s horn raised by Suho was greatly amplified thanks to the souls of the demons killed so far.

But this alone was not enough.

In order to slay that huge demon a stronger demon soul was needed.

At the guardian’s call Esil immediately turned into a spirit and flowed into Volkan’s horn.

[Volkan’s horn feasts on the devil’s soul.]

Shwaaaagh!

At that moment an extremely powerful and ominous energy swirled around the blade of Volkan’s horn.

And one more thing.

“Rakan!”

When Suho shouted raising the ‘Fang of Rakan’ in his other hand an answer was heard from far away.

[The Fang Lord the king of beasts nods his consent.]

Shwaaagh!

At that moment a divine energy engulfed Rakan’s fangs.

A smile appeared on Suho’s lips as he raised the two swords.

“Plus the giant’s armor.”

[Use ‘Skill: Giant’s Armor’.]

Whoa!

At that moment the Auror’s armor wrapped around Suho’s body!

As Suho’s body grew bigger the twin swords he held in both hands also grew in size accordingly.

Suho immediately lunged at the mid-level demon.

쌄쌣죣죣죣죣죣ꌄ!

[Big!]

The mid-level demon stretched out his hand and showered Suho with lightning.

However Suho did not stop attacking even though he was struck by the lightning with his bare body.

[Use ‘Skill: Storm Slash’.]

Wow!

The lightning and the storm began to tear the sky apart biting each other.

Guardian and mid-level demon are in a fierce battle at the center.

[Ugh!]

The mid-level demon who was put on the defensive by Suho’s sudden onslaught took out an object from his arms.

Kwasik!

And the moment he grabbed something purple powder enveloped the mid-level demon’s entire body like smoke.

At that moment Esil’s voice came into Suho’s mind.

[oh my god! That’s bloodstone right?!]

“bloodstone? “What is that?”

[It’s highly refined devil’s blood! You can think of it as a magic power amplifier that is much more powerful than stardust!]

“Stardust? So does that make you stronger?”

[of course! We have to kill it before all the bloodstone is absorbed! Anyway since that is not a perfect bloodstone digestion will be slow!]

Even as the conversation continued Suho continued to attack the guy.

[Khaha! Even though it’s still an early version it’s like this! But it’s not a waste! If we catch the demon noble right here we will be able to make better bloodstone!]

The mid-level demon looked ecstatic and was intoxicated by his rapidly rising power.

Then he blocked Suho’s attack with one hand and mercilessly kicked his body away.

Kwaang-!

“Wow!”

Blood burst from Suho’s mouth.

[Solord-!]

Ver rushed over and was worried but Suho got up right away and put the potion in his mouth.

“are you okay. “It’s still worth doing.”

If that side used bloodstone to gain strength this side had potions.

Thanks to the increased stamina the speed at which HP is refilled was a little slower but it was possible to take that much time.

And it was rewarding to deliberately push myself to my limits.

Tiring.

[The level of ‘Skill: Tenacity’ has increased.]

[Physical defense +80% → +100%]

Smirking.

Suho watched his first soldier’s performance enjoying the feeling of increased defense.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

In the sky whenever the mid-level demon found an opportunity Quay turned into a spear and attacked it.

The rays of light were disturbing his vision like a spider’s web.

[Do you dare let the Master see blood?]

[Wow!]

As Quay became a shadow soldier he was no longer able to use royal jelly.

This was because it was a poison that brainwashed his own legion and now that he had become a mere shadow soldier he was not qualified to lead the legion.

But that didn’t mean his extreme aggression disappeared.

Lee Min-seong who had spent his entire life manipulating his subordinates behind the scenes and plotting plots had suddenly established himself as an assault leader who was at the forefront of killing the enemy.

And Quay was quite satisfied with seeing himself like that.

[It’s fun.]

Quay was never afraid even when facing a huge demon.

[Happy.]

The immortal power he so desperately wanted.

And he is powerful enough to strike down his enemy with his pure power without having to use any petty tricks behind his back.

[It’s really fun. This is….]

Quay’s spear ended up being stuck in the mid-level demon’s shoulder.

[Is this strength?]

Sigh!

[Kaaaaaaah!]

[asleep. asleep. asleep. Die! Die and vomit blood ten million times more than what my Master shed! Hahaha!]

Fuwaaaaak!

Eventually the energy of the bloodstone began to leak out again through the wound pierced by Quay.

There was a huge clash but it only lasted less than 5 seconds at most.

And in that short period of time Suho had recovered to the point where he could move his body.

He also has the magical power to use powerful body techniques to his heart’s content.

[Use ‘Skill: Rigid Body Technique.’]

Quaaaaaaaaa!

Suho’s arms were covered with black energy.

Because the skill level has increased too much the mana consumption required to maintain the steel body technique has also increased.

However the attack power increased even more than that.

Sigh!

[…!]

“Gotcha.”

In the end Suho’s black hand penetrated the bloodstone energy and grabbed the mid-level demon’s neck.

At that moment the intermediate devil’s eyes met Suho’s and trembled.

[Now wait…! This energy is incredible!]

I was completely mistaken.

How dare you mistake this guy for a Shadow Lord!

[You were a descendant of the Lord of the Strong Body…!]

Kwasik!

The guy broke his neck before he could even finish his sentence.

[You have defeated a transcendent mid-level demon!]

[‘Item: Volkan’s Horn’ feasts on the devil’s soul.]

[Your level has risen!]

[Your level has risen!]

At that moment numerous messages appeared in front of Suho.

But the message that followed was surprising.

Tiring!

[‘Title: Demon Slayer’ has been acquired.]

“oh.”

Suho’s eyes sparkled.

After catching so many demons I ended up getting a perfect title.

[Title: Demon Slayer]

This is a title given to hunters who are skilled at catching demons. All stats increase by 40% when dealing with demon-type monsters.

“It would have been much easier if he had come out sooner.”

Shwaaagh!

Suho’s body became smaller again and Esil came out from inside Volkan’s horn.

And I trembled at the energy of ‘Title: Demon Slayer’ that I felt from Suho.

His instinct as a devil came to recognize Su-ho as a predator.

“Why are you so far away?”

“Oh it’s nothing.”

When Eshil came to his senses he found himself hiding behind Lim Do-gyun.

During that time Suho checked the message that he had not been able to check because he was busy earlier.

[‘Emergency Quest: Defeat the Enemies!’ has been completed.]

[Do you want to check your reward?] (Y/N)

“check.”

[The following rewards are available.]

Reward 1. Recovery from abnormal status

Reward 2. ‘Buff: Roar of Battle’

“buff?”

Lee Chae appeared in Suho’s eyes.

‘I’ll have to use this at an important moment.’

Suho who put off receiving the reward turned his attention to his surroundings.

Before I knew it Esil was standing over the corpse of a mid-level demon.

Shuuuu….

Red energy was flowing out from the corpse and being sucked into Esil’s hands.

“…Suho.”

Esil called out to Suho with a stern expression.

“This was a bloodstone made from my blood.”

“Your blood?”

“okay. “I think there are people hunting me from the demon world somewhere here.”

[Solord.]

Ber looked at Suho with a serious expression after hearing Esil’s words.

[If this is true it will likely not be an easy fight.]

Ber clearly remembered the Radir family he had seen during the War of the Lords.

Those who brought down that family and amplified their power with its blood would not have been friendly to the Shadow Legion.

Suho also nodded with a serious expression at those words.

“First of all I’m sure there’s a factory here somewhere.”

“that’s right. “The guys who went beyond stardust and made bloodstone are somewhere here….”

The problem was that there was no way to find out the location of the factory.

“Maybe I should have saved at least one animal.”

Suho looked regretful.

Because the demons had polluted mana they couldn’t even extract shadows.

“First search through this place….”

It was then.

I heard the voice of Lim Do-gyun who had been running around here and there until now.

“Suho! “Is there something here?”
