Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 117
[façade island]
‘'Façade' is a small island located in the Pacific Ocean and was the smallest republic in the world..
It was a very small independent country with the smallest population among the full member countries of the United Nations, and its area was only about a quarter of Jeju Island..
However, Façade was also a fairly wealthy country for its size..
Since the island itself was made of phosphate rock made by accumulating ‘guano (animal feces)’, it was possible to enjoy enormous wealth just by mining the enormous amount of phosphate rock buried on the island..
This was especially true because the population was small compared to the amount of money earned..
But when the cataclysm occurred, problems began to arise from the insufficient population..
If the population was low, the absolute number of hunters who would naturally awaken was also bound to be low..
When a gate occurred, there was a severe shortage of hunters, who were the only force capable of blocking it..
And in the end…….
‘That day has come.
‘dungeon break’
Ireland, which lacked the number of hunters, was quickly eroded by the blue fog with no time to resist..
‘It became a ‘field-type dungeon’..
Later, President Facade tried to spend a huge amount of money to hire foreign hunters as mercenaries, but by then the situation had already reached a point where it could not be handled..
Suddenly, ordinary citizens without magical aptitude turned into mist buns here and there and started running wild..
In fact, the façade was destroyed that day..
“……At that time, information about Mist Burn and magic aptitude had not yet spread throughout the world..”
“…….”
While Suho was flying to the facade on Thomas Andre's private plane, he was receiving a situation briefing from Laura..
“Just like that, the entire façade of the country disappeared. Although there are still a few survivors alive there, they are essentially refugees from a ruined country..”
“But fortunately or unfortunately, the president of that country is still alive..”
When Thomas, who was leisurely looking at the clouds in the sky with his arms crossed next to him, said something, Suho looked at him and asked back..
“Has the president awakened to become a hunter??”
“that's right. You were lucky. However, the first thing he did as soon as he woke up was to kill his family members who had turned into mist burns... … . You could say it was bad luck.”
“…….”
Suho had no choice but to keep his mouth shut at those words..
It couldn't have been a truly terrible situation..
Laura raised her glasses and continued the briefing again..
“So these days, experts say: When the dungeon break occurs, the most dangerous thing is not the demon, but the blue fog flowing from the gate itself..”
Suho also nodded, agreeing with what he said..
What I learned through experience so far was that the demonic beasts were ultimately nothing more than refugees wandering between the gaps in the dimension..
Of course, its habits are so vicious that it instinctively attacks and tries to eat humans, but the more fundamental problem was the blue fog..
Suddenly, a conversation he had with Ver and Rakan's Fang came into Suho's mind..
[This blue mist is the magic power of outer space. Its purpose is to forcibly break through the dimensional wall and cause a crack in the world..]
-right. Because of this fog, the sanctuary I was in also wandered through a dimensional gap and became connected to Earth..
[In the end, what the outer space guys want is to spread this fog throughout the Earth and cause a Great Rift. They're trying to open a hole big enough for their army to cross dimensions..]
‘……And like the swamp we saw yesterday, as the demonic beasts soaked in blue fog spread everywhere, the contaminated area gets bigger and bigger?.’
Suho had a serious expression on his face as he recalled the swamp area that was getting wider in real time yesterday..
It was a shame because there were a lot of hunters around at that time, and the result of not being able to resolve the situation quickly was the field-type dungeons that he had experienced countless times..
At least, they have a barbed wire fence around them, and the outside is guarded to prevent monsters from escaping, so they don't get any bigger than that..
By preventing the demonic beasts spreading the blue fog from crossing over.
Even these days, there is a trend of developing various ways to prevent demonic beasts from accessing the barbed wire by utilizing the magical power of magic stones, making it even safer..
However, Facade Island, which I am currently heading to, was surrounded by the sea..
The problem was that the erosion had already ended before specialized equipment such as barbed wire was developed..
“Im here.”
After a while, the private plane carrying them finally landed on the coast of Façade Island..
When the plane door opened, the bitter cold outside was waiting for Suho..
“……omg! Also, arrive?”
Lio Xing, who had been sleeping in the seat next to him, felt the cold and took off his blindfold..
Laura pointed to Lio Xing and asked Suho..
“But why on earth did you bring this Indian hunter? Are you cooperating with Asura Guild??”
“I help Suho. came as an interpreter.”
Lio Xing confidently introduced himself..
Although he was not good at Korean because he had only recently learned it, he was basically a scholar who could speak four languages..
‘We can't lose Seongsu-ho to the Scavengers..’
English was essential to move with the scavenger guild, which was mostly made up of Americans, but Suho did not know how to speak English..
Lio Xing had been requesting to be included in the attack force for this reason..
‘In any case, safety is guaranteed if you move with Thomas Andre, so I only help with the interpretation and make Seong Su-ho continue to rely on me..’
It was Lio Xing, his eyes shining, saying it was a very perfect plan..
But the problem was somewhere else.
Outside the plane, members of the Scavenger Guild, who had already arrived and were waiting for Thomas Andre, were stationed in barracks..
“Guild leader!”
“The guild leader has arrived!”
Rumble!
Large figures, all with a scary look, came towards Thomas Andre, fearing that he might be a scavenger..
“Thomas! Why are you so late... … Ugh!”
“Be loud, you bastards..”
Thomas Andre kicked the first guy who ran towards him with his foot, then looked at the faces of each guild member with his grim eyes and grinned..
“Is it very cold??”
“No, are you saying that?!”
“Why leave elites like us here unattended?!”
“How much money would you make if you went through one more dungeon during this time?!”
“It's really cold! It's cold!”
A loud commotion arose as if waiting for a word from Thomas Andre..
Everyone, without exception, had a dissatisfied expression on their faces..
However, perhaps because of his colleague who was beaten before he cleared his throat, his momentum had subsided a little compared to the first time..
“But boss. What are those little guys??”
One of them asked, pointing to Suho and Rio Sing, who happened to be standing near Thomas Andre..
Since they were already surrounded by large scavengers, they had no choice but to look very small in comparison..
“what? Could it be that you made us wait just to bring these guys??”
“It looks weak?”
“no. Still, I think the mana I can feel is about B grade.?”
“No, what do you do if you're B-level? I will use my strength here with such a weak body.?”
The Scavenger Guild members, who had already arrived here a few days ago, frowned as they glanced at Suho and his group with blatant gazes..
However, despite receiving such attention, Suho had no thoughts..
‘What are you saying??’
Because I didn't know English.
However, just by looking at their expressions, they could feel that the atmosphere was not welcoming to them..
“Boss, did you really make us wait in this cold place to bring them back??”
“Oh, what is it really... … Bent!”
Another guy was yelling and was kicked by Thomas..
But their reaction was completely natural..
The tanker who had just been beaten got up again and protested to Thomas Andre with a truly angry expression..
“boss. No, I'm not kidding. This is your first time here, right? In this cold, hunters with such weak stamina cannot use their strength properly. We've lost our stamina just by being here for three days..”
“you're right. But the problem is that it is still like this even though it is outside the dungeon..”
It was like that..
The place where Thomas Andre's private plane landed is the outermost area of the field-type dungeon that has not yet been eroded..
So, in Korea, it was right in front of the barbed wire..
However, now this area has turned into an extremely cold area, as if it were Antarctica..
Literally a glacier.
“If you go into the glacier dungeon with these guys, your burden will only increase. I've never seen those guys come back alive until now.?”
“So what is this guy doing? Of course not a tank, but a dealer?”
The guild member glanced at the sword in Lio Xing's hand and laughed..
But the problem was the moment his eyes passed those two and turned to Suho..
“Why doesn't he have a weapon? Is it a magic world??”
“note…….”
Tomas Andre looked a little embarrassed at that question..
It was actually a good thing that the guild members were left alone in this cold place for a few days..
Even though he was acting so harshly, he knew that his guild members were not weak at all..
In the meantime, they must have been playing their roles by themselves, hunting down the nearby demon beasts..
However, the problem is that the reason these guys were made to wait was because of Suho, but the words to introduce Suho were very vague..
Fortunately, Laura stepped in at the right time..
“Hunter Seong Su-ho here... … I am a Korean hunter and C-level summoner..”
“her?”
“Summoning?”
“I heard wrong now?”
I told the truth, but the reactions were even more absurd..
In the end, a large scavenger guild member could not stand it any longer and approached Suho with great strides..
A big man with a head taller than Suho looked down at Suho with longing eyes and gritted his teeth..
“A summoner? Yes, kid. What can you summon? Since it's cold, I would be really grateful if you could at least summon a fire moth.?”
However, the problem was Suho’s poor English skills..
There was no way he could understand his angry pronunciation in English, and Lio Xing, who heard him next to him, quickly translated for Suho..
“Guardian. Summoning is possible?”
“Summons? Ah, that's right.”
Suho said he forgot and took out the key to the shadow dungeon..
And he stuck it in his shadow and said.
“Come on, Essil.”
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
“I called you?”
“……!”
“……!”
At that moment, Esil suddenly appeared from Suho's shadow..
The eyes of everyone who was looking at Suho with an expression of disapproval at that shocking appearance were colored with astonishment..
“four people?!”
“Summoning someone?!”
“What, what is this again?!”
Thomas Andre, who brought Suho in, was equally surprised..
Essil was staying in Guardian's Shadow Dungeon while traveling by plane, and of course the reason was because of his overseas visa..
I managed to register as a hunter with the help of Jinho Yoo to apply for the guild, but Eshil was basically a devil..
Even issuing a visa was a hassle..
“Su, Suho? Are you summoning people too? summon?”
Even Lio Xing couldn't help but be shocked when Eshil, whom he had seen in Egypt, suddenly jumped out from Suho's shadow..
Esil also recognized Rio Sing..
“hmm? What is this guy, the guy I saw at the pyramid last time??”
“Do, colleague? Summons? person?”
But actually, Lio Xing's mind was becoming more and more disorganized..
‘I'm in big trouble.’
A sense of crisis came over me..
There were two interpreters..
