Solo Leveling- Ragnarok

Chapter 153:

It was too quiet.

So it even looked peaceful.

Baek Mi-ho also thought that way until she found out the truth.

"Vice President! "This house is empty too!"

"There\'s no one in this mall either!"

As she continued to hear reports, she frowned and looked around her.

\'I just don\'t know. \'What on earth happened in this town?\'

That shouldn\'t be the case, but if at least a human body had been found here, there would have been some clue as to what was going on.

However, she checked all over the village, but there was no one anywhere.

\'How is this possible?\'

It was a situation that made absolutely no sense.

If all the villagers had left the village, at least there should have been traces of their movements.

But not even the slightest trace remained.

It\'s like... ...Doesn\'t it seem like all the citizens of this town have disappeared in an instant?

"Vice President, none of the villains at Jisan Prison have the skills to cause this phenomenon."

"...yes. I know."

In the end, there was only one thing to doubt in this unrealistic situation.

"Is it possible that a gate has opened somewhere in this town?"

"It\'s realistic, but there\'s no blue fog."

"...."

Yes.

To say that a dungeon had occurred, the blue fog flowing from inside the gate was nowhere to be seen.

Baek Mi-ho picked up her cell phone with a serious expression as she continued to hear reports from the guild members who were searching the village.

"I need to contact the association first...."

It was then.

Damn it!

Above their heads.

A crack appeared in the clear sky.

"...!"

"Hey, over there!"

"Look at the sky!"

All the hunters\' heads rose upward at the sound of someone\'s shout.

Damn it! Damn it!

And that moment.

The cracks in the sky cracked and splintered even more, and began to shatter and collapse like glass.

Gurgling!

"W-what!"

"Everyone gather together!"

"yep!"

As soon as White Tiger\'s abstract command was issued, the White Tiger guild members spread out in her village and gathered around her at a tremendous speed.

"Ready for battle!"

Chachachachacha!

Even before her command was over, the eyes of the White Tiger guild members, who had already completed all battle stances, were burning with fighting spirit.

But something even more surprising happened next.

Finally, the transparent barrier that surrounded the entire village of Yamiri like a dome shattered.

Let\'s go!

"...!"

At that moment, the hunters of the White Tiger Guild covered their noses in surprise.

"Woof!"

"This, this smell...?!"

Suddenly, the terrible smell of blood began to emanate from all directions.

I thought the sky would collapse and the ground would collapse or the buildings would collapse, but that expectation was completely different.

The scenery of the village had not changed at all.

The only thing that has changed is that people who had disappeared have reappeared.

But it was anything but peaceful.

Numerous corpses with white bones exposed were strewn about on the blood-covered floor.

The village was spread across the village in such a terrible way that it seemed as if life had been sucked out of it.

"Could it be that all these citizens have disappeared...."

But then.

"...!"

"Yes, it\'s a person!"

Hunters saw.

On top of the tragedy revealed like this.

A man standing tall in the middle of it all.

Baek Mi-ho immediately recognized who he was and opened her eyes wide.

"Hunter Seong Su-ho?!"

"...ah."

Only then did Suho raise his head and turn his gaze to the hunters of the White Tiger Guild who were looking at him.

And when he made eye contact with Baek Mi-ho, he smiled faintly.

"It just so happened. "I didn\'t want to bother counting them all, but could you count them for me to see if there are 500 people?"

"...yes?"

At Suho\'s words, the hunters were startled and turned their heads to look at the white skeletons around them.

"Then all these corpses?!"

And my eyes grew wide.

"omg! "He\'s a villain!"

"All these corpses are villains!"

"What?!"

Surprisingly, the ankle bones of corpses that had turned white were filled with electronic anklets!

"It\'s true!"

"Then how can these many villains... ...?"

"You killed that person by yourself?"

After confirming the truth, everyone\'s attention once again focused on Suho.

Even amid so many gazes filled with extreme astonishment, Suho just sighed, wiping away his blood-and-sweat-soaked hair.

"after. "I feel uncomfortable."

Even if you level up, the only thing restored is your physical strength.

My clothes were still soaked with blood and sweat, so I couldn\'t help but feel uncomfortable.

\'I guess I should go back and take a shower.\'

Trudging.

"...."

I flinch.

When Baek Mi-ho saw Su-ho slowly walking towards him, he barely managed to avoid taking a step backward without realizing it.

There was something strange about him.

\'I didn\'t feel this way when we met yesterday.\'

What on earth happened to him?

No, what on earth is that guy?

It was so strange.

The Suho I met today felt like a completely different person from the Suho I met yesterday.

Baek Mi-ho\'s senses, which had raised his beast transformation skill to the limit, were screaming for him to run away from Su-ho right now.

"Baek Mi-ho."

"...yes?!"

Seeing Baek Mi-ho startled, Su-ho chuckled and passed by her.

And just keep things simple.

"Please do some post-processing here. As you can see, I am alone... .... Oh, and the bounty is all mine?"

"Now, wait a minute!"

"...?"

Baek Mi-ho finally mustered up the courage to urgently call Su-ho over and ask him the most important thing.

"If these corpses are all villains, where are all the citizens who lived in this town? No way, everyone is dead... ...."

At those words, Suho lowered his head for a moment and stared at his feet.

"...?"

Baek Mi-ho\'s gaze followed him and went down to his feet, but there was nothing there.

Other than his shadow.

"Could it be that all the citizens are buried underground...?" ...."

"ah!"

"Kya?!"

When Suho suddenly raised his head, Baek Miho was startled and screamed.

Then, seeing Suho cover his mouth with both hands in surprise, Suho said with a grin.

"Fortunately, there seem to be quite a few people still alive. "Go towards the village hall."

"...!"

As Suho said, I went to the village hall and found quite a few people passed out there.

Everyone\'s complexion looked bad, as if their blood had been sucked by some kind of vampire, but their lives were still alive.

"What the hell is this..." ...."

"what...."

All Baekho guild members, including Baekmiho, looked at Suho again with questioning eyes.

But Suho just shrugged his shoulders and said nothing.

"Couldn\'t there have been a villain who absorbed the vitality of others? It\'s a good idea to save them up to use them whenever you need them, and you\'ll be able to manage hostages effectively.

"...?"

No way.

The Baekho Guild had all the information about the villains at Jisan Prison.

There was no such similar skill anywhere.

So what is it?

Has someone been hiding such a skill like Suho said until now?

"Vice President."

Just then, the guild members who were searching near the village hall returned to Baek Mi-ho and reported.

"The bodies of many dead citizens were found in this area."

"When we checked the citizens\' causes of death, they were all caused by the skills of the villains listed in the information."

"I don\'t see any other bounty hunters around."

"I..."Except for Hunter."

"...okay."

Baek Mi-ho nodded his head.

Her mind was still confused.

What on earth happened in this town?

Citizens who were killed by villains outside the community center and citizens who were trapped inside the community center and had their life sucked out of them.

but.

\'One thing is certain.\'

Hunter Seong Su-ho.

This man killed all 500 villains.

As a result, he saved the lives of all the citizens who were still alive.

he is...He was a hero.

"Hunter Seong Su-ho."

Baek Mi-ho, who understood the situation, walked in front of Su-ho, who was about to return home.

Then she bowed politely and said hello.

"Thank you."

"...."

"Thanks to you, the citizens of this town were able to survive."

As soon as Baekmiho finished speaking, the hunters of the Baekho Guild who were standing behind her all bowed towards Suho.

"thank you."

"thank you."

"thank you."

Suho\'s expression couldn\'t help but become serious as well, looking at their solemn expressions.

\'White Tiger Guild.\'

Suho was able to see why they were the most respected guild in Korea.

Numerous hunters attack dungeons chasing only money.

No one criticized their actions as they pursued practical interests and engaged in battle.

Because it was only natural for a person with the ability to chase money.

but.

At least it wasn\'t the hunters in front of her.

These were hunters who were truly hunting down demonic beasts to protect the citizens.

Sensing their sincerity, Suho also bowed his head politely and responded to their greetings.

* * *

"...."

Suho was sitting leisurely on a mountainside far from Yamiri Village, watching the White Tiger Guild rescue survivors.

[...] ...Solord.]

Suddenly, Ber\'s voice came from behind him.

[This guy still has some strength left.]

"Take one step."

[...] ...yep.]

Harmakan, who was lying down with his head buried behind Suho\'s words, hurriedly lifted one of his legs.

His trembling legs looked even more pitiful.

[Harmacan Lv.1]

Elite Knight Grade

Thanks to defeating Harmakan and raising the level, the number of shadow soldiers that can be stored has also increased.

Thanks to that, Suho was able to extract Harmacan\'s shadow, and this was the result.

\'It\'s an elite knight level.\'

Harmakan seemed like a very difficult person to deal with, but he became the highest-ranking soldier so far.

However, just because he had a high grade did not mean he had good physical strength.

Since Harmakan\'s true power lies in powerful curses and magic, he was suffering greatly from this simple pretense.

He has committed evil deeds so far, so he will continue to do so from time to time... ....

[master.]

At that time, a shadow soldier suddenly appeared in the empty air.

Then he knelt in front of Suho and earnestly bowed his head and asked.

[Please give me a name too....]

\'Oh, now that I think about it, there was this guy.\'

Suddenly, Suho\'s eyes looked at him.

Kang Tae-sik was a bounty hunter.

His talent as a shadow assassin was confirmed in actual combat.

However, the name above his head was different from the first time.

[?? [Lv.5]

knight rank

\'I guess it\'s because the number of shadow soldiers that can be stored has increased. But your level has already risen as much as mine?\'

It was level 1 at first, but how much did this guy do in just one day?

Suho thought for a moment as he looked at Kang Tae-sik\'s soul, which was solemnly awaiting his disposition.

Name, name... ....

Suho thought about the name for a moment, then smiled and opened his mouth.

"Kira."

It was because I suddenly remembered the name of a character in a cartoon I watched a long time ago who had no hesitation in committing murder.

"From now on, your name will be Kira."

[Thank you, master.]

As Suho chose the name, the soul of shadow assassin Kang Tae-sik turned his bowed head even lower.

At that moment, information was updated above his head.

[Kira Lv.5]

knight rank
