Solo Leveling- Ragnarok

Chapter 116:

The taste was disgusting and fishy, but it was still edible.

\'It\'s not like I\'ve eaten this kind of poison once or twice anyway.\'

While Suho ate away every single drop of Kasaka\'s poison.

In Suho\'s body, Querresha\'s \'Blessing of Plague\' and Kandiaru\'s blessing \'Healthy Longevity\' were steadily being activated.

belt ring.

[A harmful ingredient has been detected.]

[Treatment begins with the effect of \'Buff: Detoxification\'.]

[3 2 1... Detoxification is complete.]

[\'Side effect: Damaged muscle\' disappears.]

First \' The fatal side effects of \'Kasaka\'s Poison\' were completely purified.

belt ring.

[Effect \'Kasaka\'s ironclad scales\': Physical damage is reduced by 20%.]

Now, only the positive buff effect with no side effects remains intact, increasing the defense of the guardian.

In addition, Suho\'s toughness skill was recently raising his defense by +100%, so when combined, he had a whopping +120% defense.

At this level, Suho had become a tanker who would never be outdone anywhere.

But more than that, what Suho welcomed the most was that he was able to use Kasaka\'s poison itself for attacks.

[Debuff: Kasaka\'s Poison]

A poison that damages the muscles of the poisoned target, reducing their strength by -35.

Damaged muscles literally means that the opponent\'s strength and speed are weakened as a whole.

In the meantime, it was like getting a much stronger level of debuff than \'Paralysis Poison\', which simply slowed down movement.

\'I\'m sure this will help?\'

Suho immediately summoned Quay.

"Quay."

[Yes Master.]

"From now on, you will fight by coating all your attacks with Kasaka poison."

[Okay.]

Suaaaa.

At that command, \'Debuff: Kasaka\'s Poison\' seeped into the tip of Quay\'s spear.

\'Like today, it would be more effective if I first shoot Quay with an arrow and debuff the opponent with Kasaka\'s poison before starting the battle.\'

Of course, quite a few guys will all be sorted out on the quay line like today.

\'Unexpectedly, I got a very good ability.\'

It was Suho who nodded with a satisfied expression.

While Suho was checking the compensation, the post-processing of the Euljiro incident was also going smoothly.

After annihilating the monsters, the area of the swamp area gradually decreased and disappeared.

From the moment safety was secured, reporters rushed in and began to report this urgent situation to the media.

Of course, it was always up to the Association Hunters to deal with this hectic situation.

"I am Reporter Oh Seok-hoon of the Hunter Daily! What kind of hunter\'s skill was that black arrow that suddenly flew from the sky!"

"Those two arrows are actually hunting the boss mobs and everything...!"

"No, wait a minute. Please ask me one question at a time..."

Han Jae-hyeok, team leader, was crying while surrounded by the microphones of numerous reporters.

\'This isn\'t the time for me to be like this.\'

He was besieged by reporters in a situation where he had to chase after Thomas Andre, who had suddenly disappeared.

But that doesn\'t mean you can\'t pretend you don\'t know what\'s going on and leave.

Anyway, the association hunters closest to Euljiro were themselves, and it was the association\'s job to do this post-processing.

Fortunately, the situation was quickly suppressed and there were few casualties, so the most urgent task now was to fairly distribute the bodies of the demons.

"I caught this beast!"

"What nonsense! The wounds from my skill are clearly visible here!"

\'...Actually, from now on is the most troublesome moment.\'

Team leader Han Jae-hyeok felt his head pounding at the sight of the hunters arguing over the bodies of the beasts and claiming that they were theirs.

But curiously, none of them touched the demons killed by the two black arrows that flew in the middle.

\'The first shot flew like lightning and killed the boss mobs, and the second arrow overturned the entire swamp like a siege cannon. The second step aside, the problem is the first step.\'

He understood the meaning of the \'first arrow\' better than anyone else because he was team leader Han Jae-hyeok, who had seen numerous archer hunters while working for the association.

Other hunters must have known the meaning, so they would not have dared to claim ownership of the arrow.

\'I turned the direction in the sky to find the boss mob and sniped it. As if the arrow had eyes.\'

I would have understood if it was a guided missile.

It was rather a method of confirming the reality in front of your eyes and then chasing it until the end to hit the target.

But flying in a parabolic arc from the far sky and then turning around like thunder and lightning to hunt the strongest beast?

\'Who was an archer hunter with this skill? It\'s a skill I\'ve never seen before.\'

However, all these questions were resolved sooner than expected.

Suddenly, the best archer in Korea, Lim Tae-gyu, appeared nearby.

"omg! Im Tae-gyu!"

"Reaper guild leader!"

"ah! Somehow I thought someone shot the arrow!"

"As expected, the only archer with this skill is Lim Tae-gyu!"

Rush!

"What! for a moment! Why are you here?!"

Lim Tae-gyu couldn\'t help but be frightened when he saw the reporters suddenly rushing towards him.

"As expected, Im Tae-gyu is the guild leader!"

"Isn\'t it Hunter Lim Tae-gyu who shot the arrow a moment ago?!"

"Im Tae-gyu! Please say something! I heard that the victims of this immigration risk were generously compensated for the damage...!"

"for a moment! for a moment! One question please!"

Even the world\'s best S-class hunter could not help but be embarrassed by this situation.

Lim Tae-gyu turned his head to look for Suho with a tearful face.

Then, suddenly, his eyes met with Suho, who was standing in a corner far away where no one could see and leisurely watching him suffer.

\'Ah, that b*stard is real!\'

Suho just smiled warmly and nodded towards Lim Tae-gyu.

With a nasty expression, asking the uncle to make an excuse on his own.

\'what the. You don\'t want to be exposed, is this? What mysticism is this again! Kids these days are real!\'

Of course, on the other hand, I did understand.

Anyway, just getting media attention for this incident didn\'t mean the ransom would go up.

Rather, there are only a lot of annoying things.

In the end, Hunter\'s ransom was raised by himself even without anyone knowing.

If it wasn\'t for the purpose of getting a job in a large guild, it was a simple structure to make money as much as you hunted monsters yourself.

Or raising your own brand image and setting up your own guild...

\'No, wait.\'

stop.

It was Lim Tae-gyu who realized something from Suho\'s expression looking at him at that moment.

\'Could this be for me...?\'

Looking at the current situation, the moment he says that this is what he did.

It was clear that this was an opportunity to restore the image of the death god guild that had fallen into the abyss.

It was an opportunity to widely publicize to the media that even though the death guild was criticized, the guild leader Lim Tae-gyu was still strong.

But why?

\'The reason why you do this for me is...\'

It was then.

What kind of voice came to Lim Tae-gyu\'s ears, who was just making a questionable expression?

[...With this, the debt was paid off.]

"...!"

Hearing that horrifyingly familiar voice, Lim Tae-gyu trembled as if he had been struck by lightning.

He hurriedly turned his head and looked around, but the owner of the voice was nowhere to be seen.

But I was sure.

\'no way?!\'

No, how could I not know!

It was the voice of his nerdy friend Lee Min-seong, who made the Reaper Guild look like this!

"Where are you!"

Suddenly, the reporters around him reacted curiously to the sight of Lim Tae-gyu shouting out loud.

But that kind of thing was good.

"Where are you! Wherever you are!"

[...]

But he didn\'t know.

His bad friend Lee Min-seong was no longer in this world.

There is only \'Quay\' who has been reborn as a shadow soldier.

And then.

Quay, who was still looking up at his old friend\'s face while mingling in the shadows of countless reporters, spoke again.

However, the contents were not like an apology saying that he was sorry now.

In the first place, Quay had no intention of asking him for forgiveness.

So this is just...

doing what needs to be done.

[...There is a secret ledger hidden in the Death Guild. It\'s the slush fund accumulated by the dead Immigration Department.]

"...!"

[Anyway, since the money is the property of the death guild, no one but the guild leader will be able to take it out. If only he knew the location and password of the account...]

Lim Tae-gyu\'s eyes suddenly turned into astonishment when he learned that the information was hidden.

To him, Quay silently called Lim Tae-gyu the password of the secret account he had accumulated.

Repeat it several times until he can memorize it.

* * *

[...Thanks Master.]

"Are you done?"

[yes. There is no longer any lingering attachments.]

Ber growled as he watched Quay, who returned to Suho, politely bow his head.

[You are truly ungrateful. Giving away that much money to a friend without thinking of giving it to a minor lord.]

[I tried to do that at first, but what if it\'s legally impossible? That account is an account that only the guild leader or assistant guild leader of the deceased guild can access.] After

making such an excuse, Quay looked at Suho with a slightly embarrassed expression.

It was blind money that would disappear into the air without anyone noticing at the same time as the death of \'Lee Min-seong\'.

Now, the guild he bought with that money was able to put out an urgent fire, even if it didn\'t look like it used to.

So...

[I think I\'ve done enough of this.]

I felt like I could throw away the name Lee Min-seong with real peace of mind now.

"good job."

Seeing Quay\'s relieved expression, Suho also nodded.

at that time.

Squeak.

Quay and Berg returned to the shadow of Suho.

Just then, Thomas Andre was trudging towards Suho from afar.

Thomas, like Lim Tae-gyu, seemed to have finally been released after dealing with annoying reporters.

"So are you ready now?"

At Thomas Andre\'s sudden question, Suho shrugged and nodded.

"yes."

The corner of Thomas Andre\'s mouth went up as if he really liked that cool answer.

"Departure is tomorrow morning."

Thomas Andre left that word and immediately turned around and went back to where Laura was.

A determined light appeared in Suho\'s eyes as he gazed at the huge back.

\'tomorrow.\'

It\'s finally tomorrow.

to find the missing mother.

\'To the glacier dungeon.\'

It was then.

"Suho."

Shaking off the reporters, Lim Tae-gyu approached Suho and started talking to him.

"Let\'s ask one thing."

"yes?"

"In that glacier dungeon... Are you the only one who enters? Or will your colleagues go with you?"

"A colleague?"

"okay. Those who want to make a guild with you."

Suho put on a puzzled expression at the sudden question, then fell into deep thought for a while.

Of course, Eshil would follow, but Lim Do-kyun was a bit vague about whether to say that he would go in with this.

Lim Do-gyun has been living in his shadow as he has been training under Ammit lately.

So, when Suho entered the Glacier Dungeon, Lim Do-gyun, who was in the shadow, was also taken with him.

"hmm. Let\'s go in together."

"Okay. I see ... Well, Thomas Andre is going with me, so it\'ll be all right."

"...?"

Lim Tae-gyu, who was muttering to himself with a disturbed expression, scratched his head and nodded.

"Have a good trip. If your colleagues are in danger, protect them well."

"That\'s obvious..."

Hmm?

Feeling a strange sense of déjà vu, Suho\'s eyes widened wide.

Someone else\'s face was overlapping on Im Tae-gyu\'s embarrassed face.

\'for a moment. no way?\'

"Mister, maybe..."

The moment Suho was about to ask something.

After cutting off the words in the middle, Lim Tae-gyu opened his mouth first.

"Oh, and the empty money came in that I hadn\'t even thought of."

"...?"

"There is a \'bow\' that I was originally going to sell to raise money? I\'ll lend it to you, so use it in the Glacier Dungeon and give it back."

"...a bow?"
