Solo Leveling- Ragnarok

Chapter 232

Before leading Suho to where the double dungeon was, Seo Ji-woo first briefly returned to his guild. 6

The reason was to instruct the public relations department staff to do preliminary work to help Suho travel to North Korea.

Meanwhile, Suho began to take care of the things that needed to be done one by one.

First things first.

“From now on, I need to actively use the Shadow Exchange skill.”

[You thought well.]

Thanks to this Indian incident, the effectiveness of the shadow exchange skill was properly proven.

“Also, since you never know when and where traces of foreign religions will be discovered, I think it would be convenient to

spread out the shadow soldiers as much as possible.”

[You are truly brilliant! Anyway, there are enough shadow soldiers now, so it will be easier to move around if you spread the

m here and there. Of course, it was possible for the king to spread the monarchy’s territory widely throughout the Earth, so there was no need to do so, but the minor monarch had no choice but to do whatever he needed to do.]

“… … .”

Beru sincerely cheered for Suho by alternately praising and whipping him, but the whip hurt a bit.

Anyway, while Suho was talking, he took advantage of the gathering of S-class hunters in the association and succeeded in naturally creating shadow soldiers in their shadows.

‘That’s fascinating. Even S-class hunters don’t notice the presence of soldiers in the shadows at all.’

Of course, you would notice them right away if they came out, but if they were just quietly following you around in the shadows, it would be difficult to notice them unless you had very good senses.

But Suho had no intention of being satisfied here.

“Let’s send it to other countries in advance.”

[Hoo. What do you mean?]

“You just have to send them under the shadow of the flight attendants.”

[Keeeeek! You are truly brilliant! Footwork… … !]

“Be honest. “Are you just kidding me?”

Ber had already disappeared into the shadows.

* * *

In this way, Suho sent numerous shadow soldiers on a radio tour to countries around the world.

And when the plane landed in that country, the soldiers naturally followed the passengers’ shadows out of the plane and began wandering aimlessly around the country.

They did not send one person at a time, but several people were sent together, causing them to disperse even within the country.

‘There are a lot of soldiers anyway, so let’s spread out as widely as possible and look for traces of them.’

However, I had no intention of just letting them run around and play.

‘Um. Travel mainly to places that are dangerous or where villains are likely to be present. Then, if you find villains trying to harm people, you can deal with them.’

And Su-ho didn’t care that the soldiers’ appearances were revealed to people in the process.

Anyway, because of the live broadcast in China, the apostles of Italim who know the shadow power would have already figured out that the subject of that power is Korean.

In this situation, it would have been better for the soldiers to be revealed from all over the world, making it difficult to pinpoint their exact location.

“And assuming that it is discovered that the main base is Korea, let’s spread it even further in Korea. “I have to protect my family too.”

[You really want to become a full-fledged vigilante. It reminds me of the old days. Hehehehe. You grew up really well.]

Beru was moved and cried.

Even though no one taught him, Sung Soo-ho seemed extremely proud to see him copying exactly what Sung Jin-woo had been doing.

* * *

The next place Suho headed to was Pyeongtaek Dungeon.

[Pyeongtaek 3rd Dungeon]

※ Entry other than Woojin’s guild is prohibited.

This dungeon was the place where there was friction with the Hyeonmu Guild last time, and it was a place where there was

an open gate leading to the demon world that serves Esil.

The demons living there were all subordinate demons that followed Esil, so instead of attacking this area, the guardian purchased the entire land in this area and managed it.

“Everyone come on out.”

As soon as Suho entered the demon world, he quickly took out the demons he had brought from India in his shadow.

“Thank you so much, Suho.”

Esil was deeply moved and expressed his sincere gratitude. 1

This meant more than just an increase in subordinates.

As the number of demons that follow a demon noble increases, their power becomes stronger.

Hueup-

Countless bloodstones flew toward Esil from the demons.

When Esil, who had inhaled the air of the demon world with him, opened his eyes again. 1

Gooooo-

Before I knew it, the energy flowing from Esil’s whole body had changed significantly.

Esil smiled brightly at Suho.

“Can you feel it? I have now regained all my original strength. “It’s all thanks to Suho.”

“hmm. “By human standards, it’s about S-level.”

“No, in times like this, can’t I be a little impressed…?” … .”

Esil became sullen at Suho’s bland response.

However, from Suho’s perspective, he couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

Of course, it was nice to see Esil’s confident appearance, which had changed 180 degrees compared to when I first met him, when he looked skinny and almost dead. 2

However, based on previous experience, the reality was that ‘ordinary S-class’ power was not a great addition to the fighting power when dealing with Italim’s apostles.

“Is it possible for me to become stronger than this?” 1

“… … “Not everyone gets stronger the more they fight like you do.”

“They say demons are a race that grows stronger by eating each other.”

“That’s true, but there are definitely inherent limitations. To overcome that limit, I have to catch and eat a demon much stronger than me, and at the moment, there is no demon stronger than me in this universe.”

“In the end, like Volkan, you have to eat the world tree to become stronger.”

“In the first place, cases like Volkan are special. Instead, there is a much more convenient and orthodox method. “To become the king of demons.”

Suho showed interest in Esil’s confident words.

In any case, in order to create the Divine Beast of Life, the ‘purified blood of the Demon King’ was needed. 1

And that was an ingredient that could only be obtained if Eshil became the king of demons.

“When can you become king?”

“Well. He’s a king… … .”

In response to Suho’s question, Esil narrowed his eyes and gazed beyond the sky of the demon world.

The sky of the devil world is cracked and torn apart by a dimensional gap.

Beyond that, an ominous energy was surging, as if foreign enemies would flow in at any time.

“A king rules and protects. That’s why we demon nobles have lived by growing and protecting their fiefdoms for a long time. “For us, that was growth and survival.” 1

Suho tilted his head.

“Protect it? “Who do you mean you survive by protecting yourself from others?”

“This whole world.”

“What?”

When Suho asked, Esil looked back at the demon world surrounding him with slightly bitter eyes and said,

“The Dragon Emperor said this time that something called ‘Nightmare Bud’ is dragging human souls to the sea of the afterlife, right? But as you know, the souls of demons do not go to the sea after death even when they die.

“Perhaps Nightmare Bud has no interest in us demons?”

“Okay. “It is said that when demons die, their souls wander around the demon world and are reborn as new demons somewhere.”

“Okay. What does that mean? The demon world is both a home and a prison for us demons. No matter how hard we try to escape, we will eventually be dragged back to the demon world by force.”

Suho’s eyes widened at the unexpected words.

“The devil world is a prison?” 1

“Okay. Is it for no reason that the place where demons live is called hell? The demon world is kind of a giant fishbowl. Lock our souls in this fishbowl and make us fight endlessly. Just like the Absolute of old times. So, since I have gathered this much power, sooner or later… … A crisis will come. Prove that we are worthy of survival on our own.”

Grumble!

At that moment, an ominous thunderstorm struck the sky.

“If I protect this territory at that moment, I will be qualified. Qualified to be king.”

* * *

Meanwhile, at that time.

S-class hunters were joining forces for protection.

No, to be precise, he was being squeezed by Yoo Jin-ho.

“Now that we have received the approval of five S-class hunters, which is the first step in targeting North Korea, all that remains is public opinion.”

There was a briefing by Director Lee Se-hwan.

‘referendum’

This was a special procedure created by Woo Jin-cheol, the president of the association, and had several features that were significantly different from other general voting.

one. Any citizen of the Republic of Korea is given the right to vote, regardless of age or gender.

two. You can only vote ‘against’, not ‘for’ or ‘against’.

three. If more than half of the population of South Korea opposes, one cannot go to North Korea. (Invalid votes or abandoned votes are considered as affirmative votes)

The most unusual thing here is probably the first clause.

‘Regardless of age and gender’

In other words, this meant that even newborn babies born today had the right to vote, and the voting rights of minors naturally meant that their legal guardians or guardians could vote on their behalf.

The reason for this provision was, of course, because they were responsible for the safety of their children as guardians.

In the end, what he meant was that even if public opinion felt even the slightest bit uneasy, many parents could double or triple their children’s share of opposing Suho’s trip to North Korea.

This is why public opinion was so important.

“… … So, in the first place, this referendum was a procedure created for opposition. “This is a clause that contains the president’s firm will not to go to North Korea under any circumstances.”

After finishing his explanation, Director Lee Se-hwan took a deep breath and glanced at all the attention focused on him.

CEO Eugene Cheol. 1

And S-class hunters.

Celebrities representing the Republic of Korea are gathered in one place like this for just one person, Seong Su-ho.

gulp.

Director Lee Se-hwan swallowed his saliva for no reason and continued speaking.

“Actually, in most cases, it is normal to be against it.”

And Internet opinions were displayed on the screen.

“This is the other side. In fact, it is an obvious statement, but at the same time, it is a reasonable position.”

[Reason for opposition]

-If the number of S-class hunters decreases, there are concerns about the safety of the country’s citizens.

-I am concerned that strong hunters will be taken away from other countries.

-In the first place, what good would it be to unify with North Korea in these times?

-Rather, it only expands the land that needs to be protected and does not help Korea in any way.

… … .

“And I am on the pro side.”

He brought up another screen.

[Reason for Agree]

-Don’t you all remember the time of Corona?

-The cataclysm occurred suddenly, and who can guarantee when this situation will suddenly end?

-The Korean Peninsula must be annexed before that time comes.

-If there are any survivors still alive in North Korea, they must be rescued as soon as possible.

… … .

“Even if we skip the other political reasons, the last reason is something we are worried about.”

Ma Dong-wook stroked his beard and clicked his tongue.

Next to him, Baek Yunho also nodded with a serious expression.

“If there are survivors there, we must rescue them before it is too late.”

“However, it would be more efficient to attack the dungeons that have appeared in South Korea during such times. When it’s time to mess around with North Korea, taking care of the South Korean people in front of us comes first. Hmm. That doesn’t mean I will oppose it.”

Hyun Moo-gang habitually refuted Baek Yun-ho’s words, but suddenly noticed CEO Yoo Jinho’s thoughts and quietly changed his stance.

Since he had already decided to agree with Suho’s move to North Korea, his personal opinion was probably good.

“Hmm. Anyway, if we get the support of our large guilds, public opinion will easily sway us. In the end, if we just calm public opinion’s anxiety, they won’t actively oppose it.”

“you’re right. Just trust us.”

“The moment voting begins, I will take responsibility and control public opinion.”

As virtual reality training was at stake, the S-class hunters were more actively appealing their position to CEO Jin-ho Yoo than ever before.

However, in the midst of all the attention, CEO Yoo Jin-ho, who acted as Suho’s representative, still maintained a blank expression.

“So.”

He flinched.

Everyone was nervous at his cold words.

“Are you saying that you will participate in our company’s beta testing just for that? “With bare mouth?”

“Hehehe!”

The S-class hunters who hit the nail on the head blushed and responded to Yoo Jinho’s words.

“No, not bare mouth… … !”

“How much support does our guild have… … !”

“Ah, let’s stop talking annoyingly between busy people. In the end, doesn’t that mean you just want to keep your mouth shut and play for free? “Your guild’s promotion, brand value, and training derived from it will be passed on to you.”

Yoo Jinho’s words eventually led to a sigh coming out of the mouths of the S-class hunters.

“… … “Then what do you want from us?”

“As you know, our Hyeonmu Guild is in a bad situation these days and is short on funds. “I was recently hit with a tax bomb.”

“Our Reaper Guild has already failed.”

“I guess we can finally have a conversation.”

When they finally declared surrender, only then did one corner of Yu Jin-ho’s mouth turn up in a pout.

“I don’t need money. There’s only one thing I’m worried about. It’s all about Suho’s safety. So what can you give to protect it?”

“Are you saying you want hunter gear, not money?”

“What kind of weapon do you need? From what I saw earlier, Hunter Seong Su-ho seems to be a tank, but maybe he has armor… … .”

“Do you also accept magic stones or magic stones?” 1

“There are skill rune stones in the warehouse… … .”

As their words continued, the satisfied smile on Yoo Jinho’s face grew bigger and bigger.

“Good. Let’s take it all out first. “I guess I can let Suho choose.”

“… … .”

Seeing that, only the same thought came to mind in the minds of Korea’s guardian S-class hunters.

‘… … ‘Daylight robbery.’

There was no such thing as a gangster.

I can’t believe it’s this hard to play a game.

All I could do was sigh.
