Solo Leveling: Ragnarok - Chapter 130

Chapter 130

‘……It’s this dream again.’
Thomas Andre was dreaming within a blue fog.
A dream that has been bothering him his entire life. A bitter nightmare.
-I am Thomas Andre! Do you think that I’ll fall from this?!
It was a dream of himself screaming while getting beaten up.
It was not a fight.
‘A one sided violence’
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
In front of that overwhelming strength, there was nothing he could do.
No matter how much he struggled and fought, what returned was unavoidable violence.
No matter how hard he tried to fight the man of the nightmares, he couldn’t win against him.
-I told you.
Wham!
In the dreams he always talked by grabbing him by his chin.
-it doesn’t matter who it is.
That emotionless voice.
Those unfeeling eyes, looking down on him from a high up place.
His face could not be remembered, but those eyes of his could never be forgotten even after waking up. As if it was engraved in his soul.
After all, he was merely an ‘weakling’ before him.
Thomas Andre could never understand that dream.
He was the UFC heavyweight champion.
The demon of the ring, titled as the strongest of humanity.
The strongest fighter that retired with no defeat.
And a person who’s always looked down on the losers on their knees.
‘I am Thomas Andre.’
But
‘Just why…….’
Thomas Andre continued his dream of defeat, thus could never think of himself as ‘truly’ being strong.
But rather…….
-I am weak.
This was Thomas Andre’s actual feelings.
If the world ever found out that Thomas Andre was thinking this, they would laugh at him.
They’d think that he was being humble.
But this was his true feelings.
-I am weak.
Thomas Andre was convinced that he was weak.
No matter how much he trained or learned different techniques…….
Growing stronger and even stronger to have everyone beneath his feet at the top of the pyramid.
-I am weak, as I’ve always been.
Despite it all, he was always thirsty.
He was nervous and anxious.
Even though there was no one else in this world that he’d lose oto.
The fact that he was weak kept being engraved in his mind.
And this mindset did not change despite becoming a S ranked hunter.
Even after becoming a hunter, the monsters that had powers beyond humans.
‘Just why?!’
He was still anxious.
‘Why am I still so weak?’
Thomas himself did not understand his mindset.
‘Just who is that man?’
The man of his nightmares that always appear.
The man of his dreams continued to plague his mind despite being an illusion.
Just how absurd was this situation?
The man who reached the top of humanity by becoming an S ranked hunter was being affected by dreams.
‘Maybe she’ll know something about this.’
Being unable to handle it, he went to seek out his long time friend, Norma Selner.
If it’s her, she could most likely find an answer for his dreams.
But her response drove him into further confusion.
She looked at him with pitying eyes to speak.
-Thomas, your feelings come from feeling empty.
-What do you mean?
-You’re feeling empty because what used to fill up your vessel is now gone.
-so what do you mean by that?
Prophets were always like this.
No matter how many times he asked, she only gave out vague answers.
But he understood one thing at least.
That his vessel was empty.
And the emptiness was what caused him to pursue power in an attempt to fill it up.
And
The moment that he fought against the monsters in the glacier dungeon.
Like the way the ends of your coat get soaked by drizzle.
Without his knowledge.
-The empty vessel got filled.
‘Yes! This was exactly it!’
Thomas Andre realized.
That he was fully filled with the very thing that he was looking for!
‘So this is what real power is!’
The final puzzle piece was put into its place.
‘I, Thomas Andre!’
[……Finally! Am complete!]
Crash!
Thomas Andre opened his eyes after wandering through his dreams.
And understood the source of his power.
[O Great Itharim! Bestow upon me thy great power!]
His ‘instincts’ lead his body and his mind according to the rightful way of things.
And he would show those weak humans that were blind to his greatness what true fear was!
――――――!
He completely opened up the powers filled within him.
And started to destroy everything within his sight.
Before that overwhelming power, all the soldiers created by shadows melted away without a trace.
However
A small human filled with an unpleasant energy passed through the shadow soldiers to attack him.
[Groaaaaar!]
Thomas Andre yelled out and released more power.
But the small human did not retreat before such an overwhelming display of power, but instead glared at him while muttering.
“Esil.”
His voice reached the Scavenger hunters and Esil next to him.
“Come in.”
Swoosh!
[Vulcan’s Horn devours the demon‘s soul.]
At that moment, Esil’s soul changed the two two horns of Vulcan to have two horns appear on Suho’s head.

[Equipping ‘ITEM : Vulcan’s Horn’]
[‘BUFF : Destruction Desire’ is applied to increase physical damage by 300%.]
“We’re going all out.”

[Using ‘Skill: Grassland Wind‘.]
[Movement speed temporarily increases by 30%.]
[Attack speed temporarily increases by 30%.
[Using ‘Skill : Armor of Titans’.]
Swooooosh!
The cool breeze of grassland flowed through the blizzard to flutter Suho’s silver hair.
Suho’s body that ran towards Thomas Andre, rather, the ice dragon enlarged with each step.
And
[Using ‘Skill : SBM’.]
The black energy surrounded both his arms.
SUho gathered all of that energy to body slam into the enormous body of the ice dragon.
Wham!

Infamous Scans

[You dare-?!]
Thomas Andre was wrathful.
He dared to compete with him using strength!
[You dare tried to fight against ‘me’ using strength?]
It was ridiculous.
He never thought that he’d get challenged by such a brat.
[Do you think that you’ll be a match for me?]
Crash!
The ice dragon responded to his will to swing at Suho with a great force.
And as he attempted to crush him to death.
Suho’s eyes glinted as he was receiving the end of that blunt force.
‘Ruler’s Power!’
Swoosh!
And that black energy in Suho’s arm shot out.
And
Bam-!
[……!]
An invisible hand.
The power that Suho had from lvl. 1.
The power that, according to Beru, was a power that Suho could use before he could walk. Suho used the ‘Ruler’s Power’ to attack the leg of the ice dragon from the side.
And then.
Crack!
Shatter!
The dragon’s eyes broke sideways to break.
And the overwhelming weight of the ice dragon made it fall towards its side.
Then, shoulder throw.
Wham-!
Suho used the motion of that weight to throw it onto the ground.
And he yelled out.
“Mother!”
Now……!
Cha Haein opened her eyes.
“Right.”
And aimed the ‘Sword of Light’ filled with all of her powers.
Towards Thomas Andre!
Flash!
[How laughable!]
Thomas Andre looked directly towards that blinding light with a blue energy in his eyes.
Crash!
The ice dragon used both of its wings to protect itself from the sword of light.
Shatter!
That light went through the thick ice.
But Cha Hain gritted her teeth.
‘It was too shallow again!’
It was difficult facing Thomas alone, but he was being protected by a huge ice on top of it.
But this should be plenty.
For her son, Suho’s plans!
“Arrived.”
After the ice dragon was thrown to the ground, and pushed backwards by the sword of light.
The ‘springwater of the echo forest’ was right behind it.
Splash!
The moment that the hindlegs of the ice dragon stepped into the steaming hot waters.
―――――――!
The countless ice spirits forming the body of the ice dragon started to scatter.
[Kuh! What is happening……?]
The body of the ice dragon started to rapidly melt and reveal Thomas Andre outwards.
He was surprised at that, but it did nothing more than that.
[Just a measly trick!]
Thomas Andre still had his powers, the only thing he lost was the chunks of ice surrounding him.
Actually, he was the strongest he’s been!
[Hahaha! Yes, so what now? What can a weakened S ranked hunter and worms do against me?]
Thomas Andre laughed arrogantly to stand in front of the hot springs.
And immediately released all of his powers.
[Enhancement!]
Skill, Enhancement.
This was one of the basic skills of the tankers, but the moment this skill was used by Thomas Andre.
Became the moment that true fear descended into the ground.
However,
His arrival there completed all of Suho’s plans.
Suho asked the king of the snowmen, the blizzard monarch.
‘Do the spring water of Echo Forest work on monarchs as well?’
There are a total of three ingredients to craft the holy water of life.
Blood of Purified Demon King
Shard of the World Tree
And finally, Spring Water of the Echo Forest.
He wasn’t sure what the shard of the world tree was, but he knew exactly what the spring water could do.
If the spring water could purify the Blood of Purified Demon King, how much will the ‘Apostle of Itharim’ inside Thomas be affected?
Suho recalled what Beru had said before.
That the ‘god’ of our dimension was ‘Itharim’, and that god shattered light and darkness to create rulers and monarchs.
Then.
What about the ‘Apostles’ created by other Itharims?
‘What if the apostles of Itharim were a similar entity like rulers and monarchs?’
“What would happen to the apostles of itharim when the springwater of Echo Forest is used on them?”
Sillad answered Suho’s question.
[King of the Snowmen, the Blizzard Monarch smiled viciously and nodded.]
[King of the Snowmen, the Blizzard Monarch activates ‘Holy Area: Springwater of Echo Forest’.]
Crack!
[……!]
At that moment, the steams above the hot springs froze to get ahold of Thomas.
[These measly tricks!]
Shatter!
Thomas Andre shook off the frost surrounding him.
But even those frost were a part of the ‘Springwater of Echo Forest’.
[ITEM : Springwater of Echo Forest]
Difficulty to Obtain : ??
Rank : Consumable
A mysterious spring water from the Echo Forest.
It can nullify poison through consuming it or applying it on the body.
[……?!]
Thomas Andre widened his eyes after being soaked by the springwater.
Then he started to shiver and double over in pain.
[Krrrrg?! Wha, what did you do to……!]
“Purify.”
His question was answered by Sirka, who arrived after Suho.
Sirka stared at the scattering spirits of the forest and muttered.
“The holy springwater will awaken the lured mind. That’s why this springwater exists so deep within the forest.”
[Kwaaaaaah! You dare! You dare compare me to those lowly spirits……?]
Of course, the apostles of itharim would be superior than the spirits.
But the springwater of this forest is the holy area of the Blizzard Monarch, an entity of equal level with the apostle.
It was the divine water that could purify the blood of the demon monarch…….
Fwoosh!
Thus the blue energy got chased out of Thomas Andre.
At that moment.
Gulp.
Cha Haein’s power returned after drinking all the mana potions.
“So that’s the actual body.”
She gathered up all the mana within her body to glare the ‘Apostle of Itharim’ on air.
And now…….
Thomas Andre was also glaring at the apostle after regaining this body.
“That crazy bastard dared to take control of me?”
Grind.
Gritting his teeth with an expression full of fury.
