Solo Leveling: Ragnarok - Chapter 150
Chapter 150
The true calamity began.
Rumble!
The grounds and buildings of Yamiri village twisted and turned akin to fierce waves.
[Harmakan’s spells are not just illusions! It can deal physical damage, please be careful!!]
Per Arsha’s warning, who was still being held by Beru, the spell created using countless deaths was demonstrating the extremes of illusions.
[Heir of Spiritual Body Manifestation! Why don’t you go ahead and dance for me?!]
Along with an eerie laughter echoing throughout the crimson sky.
Crush!
Harmakan’s giant hand ripped apart the building to strike towards Suho.
Suho split the building in half by swinging his sword while charging forward.
And above him, a large bus flew towards him to explode once reaching right in front of him.
Wham!
Boom Boom Boom!
The pieces of asphalt scattered along with the explosion.
And through the dust, Harmakan’s death knights began their siege.
Groaaar!
“Gasp!”
“W-What on earth are these things?!”
The villains that surrendered to Suho began fervently blocking the attacks in panic.
But no matter how hard they looked, they had no chance of attaining victory.
The grounds below them were sloshing around while above them were the falling remains of buildings. Truly an unrealistic disaster it was.
On top of it all, hundreds of death knights charged towards them despite the unstable ground.
Their numbers were at most fifty.
Environmentally, and in numbers. They were at an absolute disadvantage.
“T, this must be a dream!”
“A nightmare!”
Furthermore, the villains had no experience in fighting against monsters. They couldn’t even fathom how to face the death knights.
“The armors are completely empty!”
“I’ve heard about this before! It’s a monster called living armor!”
“Forget the name! How do we defeat it?!”
“The armor! You have to destroy the armor!”
“Of course you do, so how do you destroy the armor?!”
“W, while the tanker blocks the attacks, the dealer has to….!”
“I’m telling you that the armor is too hard to get through!”
Miserable wails of villains filled the battlefield.
At that moment.
One of the villains with dungeon experience yelled out.
“No! The gaps! You have to aim for the gaps against the living armor!”
“The gaps of the armor!”
At the appearance of seemingly useful information, the villains changed the looks in their eyes.
“R, right! We have to aim for the gaps……!”
여기저기서 빌런들의 처절한 악다구니와 함께 정신없는 난전이 펼쳐졌다.
At that moment.
“Move!”
Suho’s voice rang out above their heads.
The villains were filled with shocks once they spotted the source of the shout.
“……!”
“R-Run……!”
Suho, who catched the large bus that Harmakan threw towards him.
Boom!
Directly threw the bus below him towards where the death knights were gathered.
Crash!
The death knights scattered like the bowling pins.
And the one at the center of it all was crushed by the impact.
Suho let out a smile before the scattered villains after landing in front of them.
“These are all my preys.”
Fwoosh!
The two Vulcan’s Horns reemerged on Suho’s hands after they were recovered from the inventory.
Bam!
The villains mouths were left hanging open at the sight of Suho charging towards the enemies once more.
“H-He’s insane…….”
“We tried to fight against that……?”
“It’s hell outside of the prison…….”
They were regretting their jailbreak.
Unlike Suho’s active contribution, the reality was not so favorable.
Clang!Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
‘The damage is not good.’
The armors of the death knights were being crushed by Suho’s impacts, but the damage was not being dealt.
‘Their defense is stronger than I thought.’
Their armors were thick, and with the surface so slick, all the hits were sliding around instead of getting hit properly.
Groaaaah!
[Did you think that my death knights would die just from that?!]
With Harmakan’s unnatural laughter, the death knights that bounced away got back up looking unscathed and charged towards Suho.
Vooom!
At that moment, a death knight’s sword swung horizontally.
Suho ducked down to avoid that attack.
While at the same time, he dropped Vulan’s Horns from his hands as he bounced forward.
Then grabbed its head to rip it apart using his hands with a Thump.
Crash!
The empty helmet got ripped away from the body.
To reveal the empty interior of the armor.
Suho smiled with his teeth while glaring at the ominous energy, rather, the soul within the armor.
“Right. If the exterior is sturdy.”
Swoosh!
Vulcan’s Horn flew back into Suho’s hands.
“Then the interior must be soft.”
Crack!
Suho gripped his sword to stab inside the empty space.
……!
A silent scream within the armor.
And once Suho retrieved his sword, a system message emerged.
[You have killed a Death Knight.]
Suho smirked.
“Right. So this is how it feels.”
[You’ve only killed one. There’s still hundreds to get through.]
Suho nodded at Beru’s comment.
“I know. But more importantly, it looks like these guys can’t be recycled.”
[Yes, unfortunately it is most likely because they were souls used for an evil spell.]
As Beru’s lamenting words, a message floated above the recently killed Death Knight.
[Shadow release can not be applied on corrupted mana.]
It was the same time as the soul of the demons.
However.
“Oh well, I can always repurpose it.”
Suho let out a mischievous smile looking at the empty space of the armor.
“Qwei.”
[Yes.]
“Get in.”
[Yes sir.]
Swoosh!
In that instance, Qwei emerged from Suho’s shadow to seep into the death knight’s armor.
And suho reinstalled the previously ripped out helmet on Qwei’s head to smile.
“Now this is what I’d call a recycled Qwei knight.”
[That name is a bit…… Cough.]
Qwei looked like there were things to be said, but chose to remain silent.
Regardless of the name, Qwei, wearing the armor of a death knight looked rather decent.
Bam. Bam.
The black vapor seeping between the gaps of the armor looked similar to Harmakan’s Death Knights, but also different in a way.
Especially.
Swooosh!
A long black spear formed on Qwei Knight, or rather, Qwei’s hand.
[Enemy of my master is my enemy.]
Fwsh-
Qwei stabbed the helmet of an approaching death knight.
Crack!
[Master! I, Qwei, will protect your back! Please rest assured and lead us to victory!]
I sure look reliable, is what Qwei thought as starting the battle proudly.
Beru clapped in astonishment.
[As expected of young master! At this rate, we can keep increasing our forces as well!]
But before Beru’s sentence finished, Shadow Assassin Gang Taesik disappeared and suddenly the helmet of a nearby Death knight got ripped out of its place.
Then Gang Taesik threw himself inside of the armor to fight against the invisible soul.
Crack! Stab! Thud! Wham!
Sounds of continuous clashing were followed by a message.
[Death Knight has been killed.]
“Oh, not bad!”
Suho was proud of Gang Taesik’s unexpected victory.
Gang Taesik re-emerged outside of the armor to attack another death knight.
While Suho had Mino enter the empty husk.
Although the armor would’ve never fit under normal circumstances, but the armor was created by the great chief of demonic spectres. It fit Mino’s size as if it was tailor made.
[Mooooooo-!]
Crash! Wham! Thud!
The moment Mino armed itself with the armor, the enemies were charged by a fierce shoulder attack.
Suho continued to get Tau an armor as well.
One by one, Suho’s forces grew to Harmakan’s surprise.
[W-What have you done?! How could my death knights……?]
“You should’ve acted right from the get go.”
[Graaaaah!]
Harmakan’s wrathful hand started to throw the surrounding buildings towards Suho once more.
Crash! Rumble!
It was an indiscriminate attack, but fierce.
They still had the upper hand in numbers.
However,
‘I’m getting used to the pattern now.’
Suho dodged the buildings flying towards him with ease with Gray.
And while those larger scaled attacks were being focused on him, his shadow soldiers continued to reduce the number of Death Knights.
“My word…….”
The scattering villains were at a loss of words.
Arsha, who was still being held by Beru, was in a greater shock than them.
[How could…….]
Unlike before, Suho became an entirely different person.
His power and speed.
It was not a matter of just simple things.
[He’s on an entirely different level. Could humans do something like that……?]
She was bewildered.
[Just what happened until now……?]
And also realized something.
She believed that the lowest and the weakest race was humans.
But there were some amongst them that should never be touched.
That she could never face Sung Suho no matter how much time passes.
[Death Knight has been killed.]
[Death Knight has been killed.]
[Death Knight has been killed.]
…….
[Your level increased!]
[Your level increased!]
“Nice!”
With the sheer number of the Death Knights, Suho’s level was continuing to rise.
[what good things they are. How about catching them and hiring them as shadow soldiers? Why don’t we let the remaining villains become a death knight to kill?]
Beru whispered words of manipulating Harmarkan to Suho.
And it was a sound plan. Beru had no love for humans for Beru was not one of them, and Harmakan could only create monsters out of evil souls.
The only thing was that the Death Knights could not be made into shadow soldiers. So the question remained for Harmakan as well.
[We’ll have to kill them first to find out.]
Beru’s eyes glinted suddenly as its antennas were twitching about.
[I found him.]
