Solo Leveling- Ragnarok

Chapter 31:

The enemies of outer space were not aware of Suho's existence until now.

However, if one day they eventually found out that the Shadow Monarch had a son, Suho would literally be the only weakness that would change the game of war.

Just taking him as a hostage can make Sung Jinwoo's forces slow down.

... So, Suho had to be strong.

"After all, it's just a matter leveling up."

Suho looked back at the shadow dungeon.

The daily quest was over, but he thought it would be better to hunt more goblins.

Besides, the contents of the hidden quest hunting was 'more' than the prescribed amount.

'Maybe this was the direction the system wanted him to go in the first place.'

"Gray."

"... Hnggg?"

Gray shook his head at Suho's words.

"Esil."

"Yeah?"

Suho smiled at Gray and Esil.

"If you ate everything, shouldn't you pay for the meal now?"

"Hnnggg."

Gray, who couldn't even eat a whole pig, made an unfair expression.

But, for him, it was more helpful for him to grow by hunting and eating the prey himself.

* * *

[You have killed a Goblin Shaman.]

[You have killed a Goblin Archer.]

...

[Your level increased!]

For a while, Suho went around the Shadow Dungeon with Esil and Gray and defeated the goblins.

Sniff.

Gray was weak, but he had an excellent sense of smell, befitting a hunter's clan. He could find the smell of goblins hiding everywhere.

Swish!

Esil, on the other hand, was a master of spearmanship.

No matter how weakened the demon noble was, the goblins were nothing compared to her.

She inserted her hand into the goblin's body and sucked out its mana like a snack.

"Yuck. It doesn't taste good."

... She ate with her bare hands so she thought it would taste better.

She then brushed her nails instead of her teeth.

'Anyway, it's very interesting. A demon.'

"...?"

Esil frowned and tilted her head.

For some reason, Suho was looking at her like a strange animal.

After some time...

"There are no more goblins in this area. I guess we killed them all."

"I can't see any either."

Suho also stopped walking and put the sword down.

Swoosh.

Rakan's Sword rose in the air with the Ruler's Power.

On top of the handle, Beru flew like a sparrow and landed on it.

[Young Master, I went around and it seems like you have really killed them all.]

"Great job."

[What are you going to do now?]

"We have to wait here until they 'regen' again."

Suho took a seat in an empty lot open on all sides established as a base.

It was a so-called base camp.

"We don't know when or where they might come in again, so let's continue scouting the surroundings, centering on this. Not just me, but you two as well."

"Us?"

Gray and Esil were taken aback.

"They will help too."

[Krrrk Krrrk!]

[Krrrk!]

The shadow goblins wandered around and started scouting.

They looked like bandits plundering a village, but they were on Suho's side.

His goal was to witness the sight of new goblins reappearing in the Shadow Dungeon.

Considering the existence of daily quests, it was certain that they would come in again before the day ended.

"Okay. I got help, so I have to pay for the meal."

Esil unconsciously licked her lips as she answered.

Thanks to Suho, she was able to eat for the first time in a while, but the hunger she had been struggling with for a long time could not be resolved overnight.

'Because goblins don't taste good, although the quantity is large.'

She suddenly looked to the side and saw Gray also making the same expression.

"What?"

"..."

Esil felt conflicted because she felt like she was on the same level as the little one.

* * *

[Are you sure you want to exit the Shadow Dungeon?]

Suho left the Shadow Dungeon with Esil and Gray.

'Even though I caught so many goblins, I only leveled up once.'

In order to become stronger, he had to enter a stronger dungeon.

Suho now had many options.

One is to blackmail Rakan's Sword and look for the location of the new sanctuary.

But, Rakan's Sword didn't know everything.

He said he would let Suho know when he sensed signs of a new sanctuary.

The second is to find a stardust factory somewhere and hunt demons.

Suho has no clue on that at all.

'And the third...'

Just Magok.

'I'd better go there first.'

Magok Village, Gangseo District.

Originally, the area was called Magok because it produced a lot of hemp.

But a year ago ever since the worst dungeon break ever occurred, people have been calling the area Magok or Demon Land.

Since then, Magok has been designated as one of the most dangerous field dungeons in Korea, and civilians have stopped visiting.

'Gwanaksan Field and Seoul Station Field were both created a year ago. Magok Field was also created just a year ago.'

It was suspicious.

Looking back at what had happened, Suho was sure that Magok was involved in some way.

"Let's go."

* * *

Slide.

The bus door opened and Suho walked out.

He arrived near Magok using public transportation.

Even though the world has become like this, the trains and buses were still running well.

So it became a more bizarre world.

Only a few steps from an extremely ordinary civilized city, a hell road infested with demonic beasts suddenly unfolds.

Even at that moment, the hunters were diligently attacking and purifying those areas, but at the same time, a new gate was opening somewhere.

[This place...]

As they got closer to Magok, Beru's eyes became serious.

The fields of Magok that stretched out beyond were a jungle with blue mist and dense forest.

[It's a place where you can feel the dangerous energy just by looking at it. Of course, it's not dangerous at all to me. Khm.]

Beru seriously boasted about himself and tilted his head.

[Young Master, why is there no barbed wire here?]

Like Gwanaksan Field or Seoul Station Field, most of the field dungeons were surrounded by long barbed wire to prevent the monsters from coming out.

However, when they arrived in Magok, they could not see such barbed wire anywhere.

"This place is too wide to be surrounded by barbed wire, and barbed wire is meaningless in the first place."

[Why?]

"Most of the monsters here are plant-type monsters, so they can't come out anyway."

Plant-type monsters couldn't root in a land without blue mist.

It was truly fortunate for the people of Earth.

If it wasn't for that, the plants in the dungeon would have covered the Earth a long time ago.

[It's a really fun place.]

Beru looked at the scenery of Magok with an interesting expression.

Suho said they were plant-type monsters, but Beru sensed signs of other beings.

[Young Master, isn't this field occupied by another guild?]

"Not to my knowledge. I searched on the Internet, but I found nothing."

As it turned out, Magok Field was a hunting ground open to all hunters.

It was because it was very troublesome to manage for guilds if the place was plant-type monsters infested.

Also, they could make money by selling the corpses of the monsters, but the plant-type monsters don't cost much.

Since they say they are still researching, no one knows what will happen later. It was an area that hasn't received the attention of hunters yet.

"Besides, there are ghosts here."

[Are you talking about ghosts?]

Beru became more excited.

By ghost he didn't mean a ghost from a horror movie.

Ghost monster.

In this forest, there were not only plant-type monsters, but also ghost-type monsters that couldn't be obtained no matter how hard anyone tries.

So it was only natural that the hunters hated this place.

There's no money there.

'But I am different. Because experience is more important than demon corpses.'

Thud.

The moment Suho had set foot on Magok Field...

-It's a sanctuary!

"...!"

The Rakan's Sword suddenly told Suho.

Suho immediately pulled out Rakan's Sword and held it.

"What? A sanctuary?"

-Yeah. This area is full of the energy of the sanctuary! It seems that this dense forest and blue mist were preventing the energy of the sanctuary from flowing out.

Beru looked at Suho.

[There could be an artifact similar to Rakan's Sword somewhere around here.]

"Or there could be a boss mob like Broki."

[Whichever of the two comes out, it would be beneficial.]

"Right. Whether it's an artifact, it's an item, a boss mob, or a shadow soldier with experience."

Suho looked at the dense jungle with a glimmer in his eyes.

The combination of the jungle and ghosts was too much of a bother for hunters.

Suho had a sanctuary-limited navigation.

He raised Rakan's Sword forward.

"Do you know where it is?"

-This way.

Rakan's Sword moved the tip of his sword, pointing to the center of the sanctuary.

Suho ventured into the jungle with Rakan's Sword at the forefront.

* * *

Suho wasn't the only one exploring Magok Field.

"Vice President, it's already the second day."

"How long are we going to be here?"

"Rather than it being difficult, we need to know exactly the schedule and purpose..."

The hunters of the Baekho Guild had been wandering the jungle aimlessly for two days already.

The reason was Baek Miho, Vice President of the Baekho Guild, who is now leading them.

However, no one dared to express their dissatisfaction with her.

Baek Yunho, the president of the Baekho Guild, was out of the country. Baek Miho, the Vice President and daughter of Baek Yunho, was pretty similar to her father.

"Someone keeps calling me."

Baek Miho has been hearing strange hallucinations for some time now.

-Prove your qualifications.

The voice spoke out of nowhere.

-Prove your qualifications.

At first, she thought it was just hallucinations.

However, the voice grew louder and louder as time passed, and eventually led Baek Miho to this place in Magok.

'What the hell is going on here? What kind of qualifications do I have to prove?'

Baek Miho was equally frustrated.

It was clear that there was something.

The moment she stepped into the jungle, she stopped hearing things.

Right then.

Stand!

The hunters who saw Baek Miho's face trembled.

'The Vice President's eyes...'

Vertically slit pupils.

Suddenly, Baek Miho's eyes were shining yellow like those of an animal.

'The eyes of the beast.'

The beast transformation skill made her like that.

Even though only a fraction of power was revealed, the pressure was enormous.

-Prove your qualifications.

"... Has it started again?"

The voice returned to Baek Miho's brain.

However, the contents were slightly different from before.

-Prove your qualifications to become the King.

Baek Miho took off the hair tie she was wearing on her wrist and tied her hair.

With the beast's eyes, she glared fiercely in the direction the voice came from.

"Everyone, be ready for battle."
