Solo Leveling: Ragnarok - Chapter 118

Chapter 118

“I-Is it a human summoning skill?!“
“There was that kind of skill?“
“I‘ve seen people who summon puppets when they become B-Class summoning hunters, but…“
“There’s no way she’s a puppet! This woman looks like a real person. Even the mana you can feel is at least B-Class!“
“Does this make sense? A C-Class summoning hunter? How can a C-Class summon B-Class?“
“… Suho, should I translate for you?“
“Just by looking at their expressions, I think I can understand what they mean.“
Suho and Esil looked at the hulking figures surrounding them.
The main interest of hunters was the same regardless of nationality.
‘What items does that person use? Where did he buy it?‘
‘What is that skill again? It’s strange.‘
It has only been two years since the cataclysm occurred.
It was a time when information sharing had not yet been actively carried out, so even a high-ranking hunter in a large guild had to be equipped with loads of significant information.
All the curiosity always came down to who was stronger in the end, but the summoning (?) skill that Suho showed stimulated the curiosity of the Scavenger Guild members to the point of overwhelming them.
In particular, the expression of Derek Johnson, the A-Class hunter who was the first to estimate Suho‘s mana power, was difficult to express in words.
“No way. No matter how well you look at it, he’s just around B-Class, there‘s no way a skill like this could be possible with just that much mana power…“
He was quite confident in estimating the mana power of others.
It is common sense that no matter how good a skill is, if the amount of mana power is low, one will not be able to demonstrate the ability.
However, the amazing ability that Suho showed was never at a level that was possible for a ‘C-Class summoning hunter‘.
That means…
‘Is he hiding his mana power? What an amazing mana control!‘
The higher the rank of a hunter, the more they hid their mana.
Rather than hiding, it was the result of having perfect control over his mana power.
Why?
Hunters are also human, so just by living and breathing, they unknowingly consume their mana little by little.
However, the more completely he controlled his own mana power, the more he could save unnecessary consumption of mana power.
“Then, is this really how much of his mana is hidden? What is his original rate? A-Class? S-Class?“
“Hmmm. That’s just how he’s known. Sung Suho, a C-Class summoning hunter.“
“…!“
Derek Johnson put on an expression of disbelief Laura’s words.
“No way! Laura, you must have missed something! I assure you, this kid is definitely A-Class or higher! I could bet my entire fortune!“
How could a C-Class summon a B-Class in the first place?!
“Okay, enough. Since we‘re all gathered, let‘s start right away.“
Thomas Andre‘s words changed the expressions of the Scavenger Guild members at that moment.
The chatters just disappeared in an instant, and only hot fighting spirit radiated there.
When preparations began, Laura immediately boarded a plane and returned to her home country.
She left a message saying she would come back when the attack is over.
“Guild leader, I will brief you on what happened for the past three days.“
“The rough information has already been delivered by Laura. Mostly it was about the weather. There is some new information I just got from Korea.“
That information was about the ice elves he had heard from Suho.
In return for that information, Thomas Andre promised to pay Suho a fair price after the raid was over.
Since he had to pay the price for participating in this raid anyway, he decided to pay it all at once.
After conveying the information to the guild members, Thomas Andre, who thoroughly prepared for the archers, gave an order to the members.
“Let‘s end this biting talk. You know our style. Work more, talk less.“
“Yes, boss!“
The guild’s screams echoed through the cold wind.

The moment Suho set foot inside the field of Facade Island, he realized that the cold so far was nothing.
Suddenly, a huge blizzard mixed with blue mist obscured the view, and an ice age began.

[‘Debuff: Curse of the Cold‘ is activated.]
[Attack speed decreases by -30%.]
[Movement speed decreases by -30%.]
But Suho, of course, wasn’t affected by that.

[Kandiaru‘s blessing is applied.]
[‘Debuff: Curse of the Cold‘ disappears.]
‘Is this a glacier dungeon?‘
As the name suggests, all the landscapes that come into view were literally as if ice age had come.
In the streets, the wreckage of buildings and countless cars that collapsed under the weight of the thick snow were covered in snowdrifts and buried.
High-rise buildings such as large shopping malls and officetels were covered with snow and ice, making them look like ice castles.
That miserable landscape felt like it had frozen and preserved the horrors of ‘the day‘ when the dungeon break occurred.
“It is terrible.“
For some reason, it seemed that the place perished because of the cold rather than the beasts.
While walking through a snowstorm with the Scavenger Guild step by step through the frozen city, Beru was busy exploring his surroundings with only his face sticking out from Suho‘s shadow.
[It seems that there is no sign of Itharim yet. By the way, Young Master. Aren‘t you cold? How about wearing something?]
Meanwhile, he did not forget to carefully look after Suho‘s safety.
Suho nodded and opened the shop window.

In fact, the higher the mana power, the more coldness/ hotness was endurable.
But the coldness there was beyond imagination.

Ring.

[You purchased ‘Item: Ice Bear‘s Robe‘.]
[You purchased ‘Item: Ice Bear‘s Robe‘.]
[You purchased ‘Item: Ice Bear‘s Robe‘.]
Suho bought three fur clothes decorated with pure white fur and gave them to Esil and Rio.
“Put it on.“
Esil was accustomed to accepting things, but Rio was shocked.
“Suho! This awesome artifact gift! I am impressed!“
“… I‘m lending it.“
‘Because I have to earn gold by selling it later.‘
Despite Suho‘s emphasis on ‘lending’, Rio Xing was still thrilled and surprised.

[Item: Ice Bear‘s Robe]
Difficulty to obtain: B-Class
Type: Robe
Defense +50
A robe made from Ice Bear fur.
The leather is tough and strong, so it has high defense power, and the effect of blocking the cold is excellent.
(However, if your strength is less than 80, your movement will slow down.)
– Effect ‘Cold Resistance‘: It blocks cold and has resistance to freezing magic.
– Effect ‘Cold Tolerance‘.
The effect of this simple option was amazing.
The moment one put on Ice Bear‘s robe, the ice age level of cold was cut off in an instant.
[What a good choice. Ice Bear‘s skin should be able to defend against the Ice Elves‘ freezing magic. Of course, if the arrow is loaded with freezing magic, your clothes may be damaged, so be careful…]
While Beru was eagerly explaining to Suho, the Scavenger Guild members‘ eyes widened once again when they saw the fur that suddenly appeared in Suho‘s hand.
“W-What?! You also summon clothes?“
“Well, he summons people too, so what about a fur coat?“
“That look very warm?“
“Wait! I think that‘s made of Ice Bear‘s fur.”
“What? Please give me one, too!“
“Me, too!“
“Shut up, you bastards!“
Seeing the guild members flocking to Suho again, Thomas Andre intervened by threatening them.
Then he shyly held out his hand to Suho.
“…?“
“Do you have any left?“
“…“
At that time, Rio proudly stood up to Thomas Andre and represented Suho‘s position.
“Show me the money.“
“…“
Suho had no intention of opening the store window anymore even if Thomas gave him money.
After all, Thomas Andre‘s mana would be able to withstand that much cold.
The other guild members stayed here for a day or two anyway, so their clothes were thick.
Swish-
However, as the blizzard intensified, the Scavenger Guild members continued to glare at Suho and his party with envious expressions.
“They’re here.“
Suddenly Thomas Andre raised his head with a ferocious expression.
Swook-!
Carried away by a frantic blizzard, arrows began to fly from somewhere.
“Watch out!“
Scavenger Guild members spread all over the place.
Swook!
When the arrows were blocked by the transparent mana barrier, white thin ice formed on the wall.
More arrows kept flying.
The problem started there.
Swook!
“Guild leader! The shield is about to break!“
“The freezing magic is weakening the defense of the shield…!“
“These ice elves really!“
Hearing the urgent voices of the guild members, Thomas Andre raised his eyes towards the ice elves, who could not be seen due to the blizzard.
Skill.
Reinforcement.
At that moment, a tremendous amount of mana condensed in his arm.
“Ha!“
As he swung his fist into the air, a wave of mighty energy surged through the blizzard and exploded.
Boom-!
The arrows flying in that explosion were extinguished all at once.
“The battle begins.“
Finally, the battle of the Scavengers Guild members began.
However, Suho’s eyes were on the other side, not that side.
[Ice Golem]
[Ice Golem]
A huge presence was felt over the blizzard.
Although there was nothing visible, Suho’s senses stats were giving a warning.
‘They‘re the real ones.‘
Suho immediately took out his bow.
Thomas Andre was already moving there.
“The real ones were over there! Everyone, scatter!“
The S-Class hunter‘s senses were already in control of the whole situation.
The ice golems had no intention of attacking that side, rather, below that.
Swoosh-!
‘Wait, no way!‘
Realizing that, Suho‘s complexion changed terribly.
“Arise, Quay!“
While black arrows are created from his shadow.
The ice golems were already striking the frozen ground with their hands together.
From there, the ground cracked and the path began to collapse.
“Oh, no! Earthquake!“
He heard Thomas Andre‘s scream.
At that moment, the floor they were standing on collapsed, and they began to fall at the same time.
Esil suddenly realized something and urgently looked at Suho.
“Suho! It‘s a gate! A dimensional rift is being created down here!“
Swoosh-!
At that moment, Suho was already aware of it.
Where did the terrible blizzard start?
A sudden ice age on the tiny island in the sun-drenched Pacific Ocean?
The blizzard did not come from the sky, but from the beginning, it was from the underground of the island.
Swook!
Huge cold blizzard sucked all the hunters, including Suho, into the gate.
‘Are they inviting us?‘
Suho‘s eyes lit up as he watched the gate that engulfed him.
‘Then, I can‘t go empty-handed.‘
Suho, who was falling down, recklessly pulled the bowstring and shot Quay at the moment he passed through the gate.
