Solo Leveling: Ragnarok - Chapter 119

Chapter 119

Swook-!
Quay, who had turned into a black arrow, flew forward through the frigid blizzard that emerged like a typhoon.
If ordinary archers saw that, they would have cursed at Suho, saying that he was wasting only a lot of mana.
Because it was a miss arrow.
However, Suho‘s arrow has an ‘eye‘.
“Quay! Hit whoever you see first!“
[Yes, Master…!]
Quay‘s voice was buried in the blizzard and disappeared.
Meanwhile, Suho just let Quay do his own thing.
There were other more important things.
All the hunters of Scavenger Guild, including Suho, passed through the gate as they fell.
“Everyone, prepare for extreme shock with your mana powers…!“
The voices of the Scavenger Guild members who responded to Thomas Andre‘s strong command faded away.
Suho’s visions were blurry because of the blizzard that raged relentlessly.
He couldn‘t even see Esil or Rio right next to him, but he believed that he could deal with it on his own.
Just like Thomas said, Suho maximized his senses by protecting his entire body with mana.
Then, through the pure white blizzard, he finally began to see a certain scenery down there little by little.
“…!“
His eyes widened as he witnessed the scene through the headwind.
Forest.
He could see the white frozen forest below.
Ice-covered river and snow-covered trees.
Ice crystals glistened in the stream that ran through the dense mountain range.
The spring water that flowed along the small valley formed a mini lake and blended naturally with the frozen forest.
[Young Master! You must bring Quay back! If you fall like this…!]
It would be dangerous to crash as is according to Beru.
If it wasn‘t for Quay‘s fluttering wings, Suho would never have been able to pass through such a violent blizzard.
The blizzard was not just a storm-like natural phenomenon.
It was loaded with mana power that could penetrate even the rifts of different dimensions.
While listening to Beru‘s urgent cry, Suho couldn‘t help but lose his gaze at the wonderful scenery that came into his field of vision through the terrible snow storm.
The scenery that unfolded before his eyes was so spectacular that it could not be compared to any dungeons he had experienced so far.
He only regretted one thing.
It was that he was falling from a high altitude over that beautiful sight.
‘Do ice elves live in that forest?‘
Now that he figured out the situation, it was time to deal with it.
“Gray, blessing!“
Shwooong-

[Blessing ‘Pet: Gray‘ is now activated.]
Even in the harsh snowstorm, a divine wind blew and wrapped around Suho‘s body.

[Use ‘Skill: Grassland Wind‘.]
[The wind of the meadow frees the body of the pontifex.]
[Movement speed temporarily increases by 30%.]
[Attack speed temporarily increases by 30%.]
Suho’s hair was bleached silver. He quickly opened his inventory and replaced the item.
A faint smile appeared on Suho‘s lips as he held the two horns of Vulcan in both hands.
If the opponent was a storm…
‘I’ll just cut through it.‘

[Use ‘Skill: Blade Storm’.]
The rough blizzard wrapped around Suho‘s twin swords.
Twisting the wind in reverse forcibly slowed the momentum.
Suho‘s body began to slowly fall into the middle of the forest as if gliding down.
He slashed Vulcan‘s Horn straight down at a large tree that just happened to be nearby.
Slaaaash-!
The huge tree split in two, and the speed at which Suho was falling further decreased.
… Chuck.
“Well, I survived for now.“
Suho looked around with a calm gaze as he safely landed on the thick snow at the noble sacrifice of the tree.
All he saw was pure white snow and trees.
The hunters who had fallen together could not verify where each one of them landed.
“That was so stressful.“

[I now know the reason why there are so few hunters who have returned here alive.]
“Right. If this had been the case, they must have completely died… Wait…“
Suho suddenly had a question in his head.
He raised his head and looked up at the sky where the dimensional rift was wide open.
“Then how did those who returned alive got back? Did they fly over there?“
[Ehh?]
Beru looked up at the gate in the sky.
It would have been possible for hunters with flying skills, but there was a catch.
[Hmm. Come to think of it… I don‘t think those ice golems have smashed the ground like that every time.]
On top of that, if all the hunters who came to attack the glacier dungeon had passed through the gate in the same way as Suho did, Facade Island would have already been devastated.
There was no way that the ground would return to how it originally was after.
[Maybe there’s not just one gate.]
“You think there’s more?“
[Yes. Look at that sky right now. Humans often refer to it simply as a gate, but in fact, the cracks in the dimension open more and more as time goes by.]
Like Beru said, the gate that Suho passed through was not just an ordinary hole, but the space was torn to shreds.
Since Facade Island was already an area contaminated with mana, it was not strange that there were holes leading to the dungeons here and there.
“So until now, other hunters must have entered through other holes…“
Suho stopped talking and immediately twisted his waist, then swung his sword.
“Krrk…!“

[You have killed the Ice Kobold.]
With that single swing, the head of the ice kobold was cut off. It had sneaked up on Suho while hiding in the blizzard.
Suho immediately looked around and smiled faintly.
“Looks like I fell too loudly.“
[You’re already surrounded.]
lively gazes surrounded Suho.
[Ice Kobold]
[Ice Kobold]
…
His sight and hearing was disturbed due to the blizzard mixed with mana, but it seemed that it was no problem for those monsters whose main habitat was there.
“… Interesting.“
Suho just smirked.
It was a situation where he had to rely solely on his senses stats.
Those kobolds were now at that kind of level, so how much stronger enemies could have lurked beyond that.
Besides, he is now separated from his colleagues who he came in together with.
[It‘s rather good.]
Beru smiled too.
It would be a perfect situation for Suho to level up comfortably since he’s alone.
[The time to level up has arrived.]
“Mino. Come out.“
Two gigantic shadow monsters arise from Suho’s shadows at that command.

[Shadow Minotaur Lv.1]
Knight Class
[Shadow Minotaur Lv.1]
Knight Class
The madmen that Suho had personally killed and saved in the demon realm had now become Suho‘s trustworthy soldiers.
[Moooo-!]
The shadow Minotaur, with black steam swaying all over their bodies, spread their muscular arms and roared ferociously.
The bodies of the ice kobolds, who seemed ready to rush at Suho at any moment, trembled instinctively.
Pointing at them, Suho ordered.
“Trample each and everyone of them.“
[Moooo-!]
[Moooo-!]

[You have killed Ice Kobold!]
[You have killed Ice Kobold!]
[You have killed Ice Kobold!]
…
The battle that followed was overwhelming.
The number of kobolds constantly appearing in the forest exceeded hundreds, but they were trampled to death by the brutal violence of the shadow Minotaur.
Only then did the real one, who had been holding its breath behind, finally begin to reveal itself.

[Ice Troll]

“Kyaaaaaah!“
The beast, similar in size to the ice golems, swung a log in one hand and struck the shadow minotaur in the head.
Mino‘s neck was snapped by the destructive force so bad that the log was shattered.
But…
“…!“
[Mmm?]
It was useless.
Enveloped in black steam, Mino‘s savage gaze returned to normal, even with a broken neck.
In front of him, the Ice Troll felt goosebumps.
Mino was laughing with an eerie expression.
It was nothing to him.
Right away, Mino’s arm muscles swelled as he raised his fist at the ice troll.
[Mooooo!]
An overwhelming power was about to be poured out on the ice troll.
“…!“
A black spear suddenly pierced the Ice Troll‘s back and stabbed its chest.
Swook!
When the spear was pulled out, the ice troll lost its life and collapsed on the spot.

[You have killed Ice Troll.]
The owner of the spear was none other than Quay.
Quay shot an arrow and immediately returned to Suho‘s place, smiling meaningfully at Mino as he trampled on the ice troll‘s corpse.
[I was faster.]
[Mooo!]
[Whatever, you can‘t even speak.]
Ignoring Mino who was purring in anger, Quay immediately approached Suho and knelt down.
[Lancer Quay has returned.]
However, Quay did not return empty-handed.
A strangeness appeared in Suho‘s eyes.
Quay was holding ‘something‘ that had passed out.
“What did you catch?“
[This is the ice elf I hit.]
Surprisingly, it was a young ice elf who looked about ten years old.
Suho knew as soon as I saw the appearance that it was an ice elf.
More than that, Suho paid attention to the name tag floating above the elf‘s head.

[Sirka, Guardian of the Baruka Tribe]
‘Guardian of the Baruka tribe?‘
It was a mage beast with some meaningful identifier attached to it.
There was now evidence that the Ice Elves were living as a tribal unit just as Rio informed Suho.
What’s even more mysterious than that was the fact that the ice elf was still breathing.
“Still alive?“
[Yes. Unfortunately, I couldn‘t bear to kill him.]
“what?“
Suho was genuinely surprised.
The truly amazing words came out of Quay‘s mouth.
There was no way Quay would have realized the preciousness of life, but what came out of his mouth was surprising.
[This ice elf recognized me. He asked me if I knew the Shadow Monarch. So I wondered if it might be a clue…]
“What?“
Suho‘s eyes widened.
Quay had a big catch.
