Solo Leveling- Ragnarok

Chapter 129:

The cost was devastating.

Wow!

\'Oh no...!\'

Feeling Caesel\'s power rapidly weakening, Cha Haein screamed inwardly.

Caesel\'s black shadow was becoming a rag.

\'Caesel...!\'

Caesel had risked extinction to protect himself!

But then.

In the center of the blinding light, Thomas Andre furrowed his brow and looked away.

Whoa-wooh-

His eyes were covered in blue ears, and he spotted a trail in a straight line in the distance.

It\'s a highly compressed freezing wind.

The blizzard of the Echo Forest was howling.

Puh

Finally, at the end of the trajectory through the blizzard, a frozen trident appeared.

Wow!

The "Spear of the Ice Tree" hit the Ice Dragon\'s body as it was.

[...!]

A massive impact slammed into the Ice Dragon\'s body.

Around that point, ice crystals shattered and scattered.

Shoowaa

To fill the void, new spirits nearby flew towards the ice dragon in an instant.

But.

Gooooooo

At that moment, a tremendous sense of daunting pressure overwhelmed the Echo Forest.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

[The King of the Yetis, the Lord of the Frost, forcibly crushes the momentum of the ice elementals.]

[The King of the Yetis, the Lord of the Frost, forces the ice elementals to subjugate.]

[The King of the Yetis, the Lord of the Frost, has the Ice Elementals...]

...!

The spirits, who had been mad by the sudden appearance of the monarch, screamed in confusion.

Even the blizzard that swept through the Echo Forest was shaken by its helplessness.

In the heart of it.

Ugh!

"I found it."

Suho managed to hold on to his mother.

"Mom."

...!

[Kieeeeee

At the same time, Verga clung to the head of the Chahaein and howled.

"Are you alright, Cha Hae-in? Don\'t worry now! This lowly servant Berg has come to save you!"

[Colloquial!]

The ragged Kaisel recognized Suho and Ver and burst into tears, and Cha Hae-in looked at Suho with a dazed expression.

"Oh, son? How did you get here...!"

"Cha-cha! I\'ve got you! I am the son of cha-cha!"

On top of that, there is even Sirkka, who shouts cheerfully when he sees that Cha Hae-in is safe.

But it wasn\'t a situation where they could have a leisurely conversation.

Boom!

"...!"

"...!"

The ice dragon, which had been smashed by a direct hit by the spear of the ice tree, had recovered and was standing up behind them.

Suho\'s eyes widened when he spotted Thomas Andrew\'s face peeking out from the cracks in the thick ice cubes.

"Thomas Andre?!"

"Could it be that human is possessed by a spirit? Isn\'t it something else?"

Sirka felt uneasy as she looked at the blue ear on Thomas Andre\'s body.

What the hell is that energy?

It\'s similar to a spirit, but it\'s too foreign to call it a spirit....

Chuck.

[Lord Less, get ready.]

Just in time, Verga stepped forward and exuded flesh from his entire body.

[The Apostle of Itarim has appeared.]

Chop chuh!

Immediately with that, Suho took out the Great Palace from his inventory.

Then, from the shadows, he pulled out a long quay and fastened it to a bowstring.

"Rise up, Quay!"

And he sent a shadow bolt straight at the heart of the Ice Dragon, Thomas Andre.

"Kill!"

[By Master\'s Command!]

Wedge love juice-

There was no hesitation in Suho\'s action of firing a quay at Thomas Andrew.

Thomas Andre\'s condition was not normal by any means.

But now there was no time to worry about his safety.

His opponent was not an ordinary demon beast, but an "Apostle of Itarim".

He was too dangerous an enemy to deal with, and the slightest hesitation could have endangered not only himself, but his mother.

Then there was no hesitation.

Even if it comes at the expense of others.

However, such worries are overshadowed.

Squeak!

Before Quay could reach Thomas Andre, his body had been completely buried in the depths of the Ice Dragon.

Unfortunately, Quay\'s arrowhead failed to penetrate its thick defense.

[Itarim!]

And a bizarre voice that came out of the mouth of Thomas Andre deep inside.

With him, the ice dragon opened its massive maw.

An enormous energy began to stir within him.

Cha Hae-in, who had experienced the horror of the attack, shouted urgently at Suho.

"It\'s dangerous! Dragon Breath is coming!"

But Suho had no intention of backing down.

"Ver!"

[Yes!]

Suho shouted, glaring straight at the ice dragon.

"The Shadow Dragon here has already been exposed to the enemy! If this is the case, we won\'t care, right?!"

Suho\'s question pointed to Kaisel, who had turned into rags and was still wrapping around Cha Haein.

Verdo replied with a fierce tooth.

[Of course it is!]

"Everybody come out!"

At that moment.

His shadow stretched wide around Suho.

Shwaaaaaaa

Dozens of shadow soldiers stood up in it at the same time.

"...!"

Cha Haein\'s eyes widened when he witnessed this amazing scene from behind.

\'Oh my God.\'

It was an all-too-familiar sight.

Surrounded by a crowd of shadow soldiers, the back of the scene.

Cha Hae-in saw the back of her husband\'s wide back for the first time in a few years.

"When is our guardian like this...!"

It was a strange feeling.

I never thought I\'d feel this way in such a desperate situation.

I felt a tickle somewhere in my chest.

[Listen All!]

And the little ant Ber standing proudly at the front of the soldiers.

The former legionnaire roared fiercely and gave them the order.

[Scatter the whole army! launch an all-out attack!]

Aa

At that moment, the shadow soldiers scattered in all directions and attacked the ice dragon from multiple angles simultaneously.

Shush!

The shadow elves\' barrage of arrows bent at various angles and slammed into the ice dragon\'s body.

From there, a spider web cracked across its ice.

Boom!!!

At the same time, the Shadow Minotaur and the Shadow Troll rushed like a tank and rammed into it.

Tu Bang!

Boom!

The ice dragon is about to collapse as it cracks again due to the relentless bombardment.

But.

It was insufficient.

This was ridiculously insufficient.

The opponent is the Ice Dragon.

It was a monster that was superior in attack and defense.

Oooh!

In the meantime, the immense magical Dragon Breath finally erupted.

It shook its head once, and everything in the forest was destroyed in a straight line along its mouth.

[...!]

The blow melted away all the shadow soldiers who were attacking it.

Some soldiers managed to survive, but most of the shadow elves were completely wiped out by the blow.

But.

\'Time Gained!\'

Gulp!

Suho took advantage of this opportunity to feed his exhausted mother with healing potions and mana potions.

And the void left by the defunct Shadow Soldiers was immediately filled by extracting new soldiers.

There were plenty of things to extract nearby, anyway.

Ironically, it wasn\'t just the Shadow Soldiers who had just been caught in Breath and killed, but also the Echo Forest\'s ice elves who were possessed by the spirits.

"Wake up!"

[Shadow extraction successful.]

[Shadow extraction successful.]

[Shadow extraction successful.]

....

New soldiers continued to recruit to attack the Ice Dragons, and once again Ice Breath annihilated them.

In the meantime, Cha Hae-in was remarkably recovering.

Even the wounds that had accumulated over the past few years of living in this strange land were being healed.

But Suho wasn\'t satisfied.

Suho generously used all of his healing items on Cha Hae-in.

There was not only "Item: Mummy\'s Bandage", but also "Item: Echo Forest Spring Water" that I had just obtained.

The Echo Forest\'s Spring Water is a valuable detox potion that can only be found in the Sanctuary of the Lord of Frost.

\'It will help in some way!\'

At the same time, I tried to keep up with everything that was going on around me.

Once I heard it in the elves\' village, I saw with my own eyes that my mother had awakened as an S-class hunter.

I didn\'t expect my mother, who I thought was an ordinary housewife, to turn into a strong person with such tremendous energy.

I couldn\'t believe it even though I was watching it right in front of me.

At the same time, he also noticed that the Scavenger Hunters who had come in with him were scattered around.

\'There\'s Esil, too!\'

Suho put all of these situations together in his head and quickly devised a strategy.

"I can\'t beat that dragon on my own. I have to fight with my mother.\'

Just in time, Cha Hae-in, who had recovered enough to regain some control, stepped out of Caesel\'s arms.

"Caesel, leave it to me and rest now."

[Purring....]

Caesel closed his eyes as he felt Cha Haein\'s hand gently caressing his cheek.

It was impossible for him to hold out any longer anyway, and Caesel turned into a smoky black smoke that seeped into Cha Haein\'s necklace.

\'I\'m glad I did. Caesel is safe.\'

Cha Hae-in squeezes the necklace with both hands and breathes a sigh of relief.

And when I raised my head forward again.

"Son."

"Your mother."

"Mom, I\'m really angry, right?"

"...."

Oh, it was a little sloppy.

Suho, who was stunned by the words, scrutinized his mother\'s face with a cold expression.

Cha Haein\'s clear eyes were burning hotter than ever.

"Can you buy me some time? I\'m going to put all my mana into one shot."

Gooooooo

At the same time, a huge amount of magical power began to agglomerate in Cha Haein\'s entire body.

Skill Sword of Light.

The mana consumed is so great that it can only be used as a secret move.

"If this one shot doesn\'t work, take your time and feed her the mana supplement you just gave her."

Did.

What Cha Hae-in proposes to Suho is a kind of wheeled battle.

This strategy was the most perfect one that Cha Hae-in, the vice president of the Hunter Guild, the strongest in Korea, could have made in a now-defunct timeline.

"Can you do it?"

Cha Hae-in looked at Suho\'s figure with trusting eyes.

Suho\'s growth into an adult in a few years was both strange and familiar at the same time.

She looked a lot like her husband when he was younger.

"But we\'re still a long way off."

Cha Hae-in was calmly grasping Suho.

The level she felt in Suho now was too fragile compared to her current self, let alone her husband.

But enough is enough.

"I\'ll buy you time."

Yes, that was enough.

That was Suho\'s plan.

"Okay. Instead, I\'ll decide which direction to attack."

"What?"

Suho\'s eyes light up and he smiles in repentance.

In front of such a guardian, he remembered the information window of the "detox potion" that he had given to his mother.

[Item: Echo Forest\'s Spring Water]

Difficulty to obtain: ??

Type: Consumables

It is a mysterious spring in the Echo Forest.

When drunk or applied to the body, it has a neutralizing effect on toxins.

In the first place, the spring water of the Echo Forest was the material for making the "Divine Water of Life".

And, of course, its purpose would be to neutralize the toxicity of the Purified Blood of the Demon King.

"Let\'s ask one Szilard."

Suho asked Szilard with conviction.

"Does the effect of the Echo Forest Spring work for the Lord?"

Suho\'s gaze was on the direction of the hot springs behind the ice dragon.
