Only I Level Up: Ragnarok - Episode 123
Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 123
While Cha Hae-in was hanging out with the ice elves and staying in their village, he put in a lot of effort to return to Earth..
Whenever they had the chance, they flew around on Kaissel and looked for cracks in the dimension they had crossed through..
At first, I thought I would be able to go back soon..
All I had to do was go back the way I came..
But Cha Hae-in soon had no choice but to hit the wall..
First of all, flying through a vicious snowstorm that obscured vision was a problem..
Above all, the biggest problem was that when I went up to the sky, there was not a single dimensional crack there..
A world that lost its monarch.
This frozen forest was drifting through a gap in the dimension and was being torn to shreds in real time, turning into rags..
In the sky of the frozen forest, cracks of countless dimensions were forming..
Among them, finding a dimensional crack connected to the Earth was not an easy task..
But Cha Hae-in and Kaisel did not give up and wandered through the snowstorm every day..
Meanwhile.
Something really big happened.
-purr…….
-kaisel?!
At some point, the power of Kaisel, the flying dragon that protected Cha Hae-in, began to weaken little by little day by day..
The reason was simple.
The only reason the Shadow Soldiers were immortal was because they received magic power from the Shadow Lord..
However, Kaisel was no longer able to receive his magical power because the distance from Seong Jin-woo had grown too far..
-I can't do it. If this continues, Kaissel will disappear before the gate back to Earth is found..
This wasn't Earth.
It was impossible to predict when and where and what kind of enemy would appear..
If we were to encounter an unexpectedly strong enemy, Kaisel's full power was absolutely necessary..
From then on, Cha Hae-in stopped trying to find the gate through the snowstorm..
it was never giving up.
-Let's trust our husband. He will definitely find me wherever I am..
a confident voice.
Cha Hae-in trusted Sung Jin-woo..
I believed that he would definitely find me wherever he was..
Because he was the one who came to find me even in ‘this’ world, where we were destined not to meet..
Deciding to quietly wait for Seong Jin-woo here, Cha Hae-in began teaching swordsmanship to the young ice elves..
Even if I leave this place someday.
We hope that these children will develop the strength to protect themselves from the ice spirits that invade the village whenever they get the chance..
And it was around that time..
Cha Hae-in, who frequently dealt with spirits near the Echo Forest, discovered 'gray eyes'..
* * *
To find his mother, Suho decided to go straight to the Echo Forest..
“I'm really going?”
The expressions on the faces of the ice elves watching this were full of anxiety..
“Will it be okay? Echo Forest is a really dangerous place.…….”
“that's right. Chacha also said it. To get in there, you have to be at least level A by human standards..”
“Suho is grade A?”
“Even though Suho is Chacha's son, why does he look so weak? I feel like the energy I feel is less than half of Cha Cha..”
“Hey, that's the same for everyone. Among the humans who have invaded here so far, none were stronger than Chacha..”
Ironically, right after Cha Hae-in left for the Echo Forest, heavily armed humans began to come through, as if a new gate connected to Earth had opened..
How absurd would it be if Cha Hae-in came back and found out about this later?.
Anyway, humans began to move here, but the ice elves never developed friendly relations with those humans..
The purpose of the existence of demonic beasts in the first place was to ‘destroy’ everything according to the orders of the monarchs they serve..
They were beings that destroyed everything but themselves..
It was impossible to have friendly relations with mere humans..
In that respect, Cha Hae-in could be said to be a very unusual being..
Because she was their savior.
No, even if that were the case, the current relationship might not have been created if they had not been able to communicate with each other..
The reason Cha Hae-in was able to talk to the ice elves in the first place was because of the ‘necklace’ that Seong Jin-woo gave him as a gift..
That is the special necklace that Seong Jin-woo prepared as a gift for his 16th wedding anniversary..
Seong Jin-Woo had put many amazing functions in the necklace for Cha Hae-In, and one of them was an interpretation function..
In fact, the purpose of Seong Jin-woo putting that function into the necklace was for an extremely personal reason..
Cha Hae-in is able to communicate with shadow soldiers who cannot speak Korean by making them do errands..
And thanks to that private function, Cha Hae-in was the only one who was able to communicate with the ice elves and avoid antagonism..
However, to the ice elves, other humans with whom such conversation was impossible were merely prey that had to be hunted on sight..
So when I met humans, I only asked one question..
‘Do you know ‘Sung Jin-woo’?.
It was because they might have been sent by Cha Hae-in's husband to find her..
Even though he couldn't speak the language, he could at least pronounce the name, so he planned to save his life if someone who understood the name 'Seong Jin-woo' appeared..
of course…….
It's really unfortunate that no one knew Seong Jin-woo..
The ice elves were dumbfounded by that fact and clicked their tongues..
‘‘Shadow Lord Seong Jin-woo’ actually had no knowledge of races from other dimensions like themselves..
He was the only victor in the long and bitter war of monarchs, and as a result he became the true ruler of all these planes..
However, none of the people on Earth who were saved by him, really not a single one, remembered him..
It was a truly vile thing..
“I will guide you on the way to the Echo Forest..”
Sirka jumped across the snow and came in front of Suho..
The movements were much lighter and more agile than before..
It was thanks to Suho confirming that Sirka was not the enemy and deciphering ‘Kasaka’s poison’..
As her muscles recovered from the snake venom, Sirka puffed out her chest more proudly than ever..
“Ahem. Even so, I am the guardian of the Baruka tribe..”
Guardians are those who guard the borders of the Echo Forest..
Of course, I knew the way to get there well..
“Then please.”
Suho disappeared through the snowstorm with Sirka, and the ice elves of the village left behind stood like that for a long time and looked worriedly after they disappeared..
* * *
The moment we arrived at Echo Forest through a blizzard.
Suho was able to see with his own eyes the reality of the spirits that the ice elves fear..
In the middle of a blizzard, ice blocks suddenly coalesced and turned into demonic beasts..
[ice golem]
[ice golem]
[ice golem]
…….
Gwaaaaa-!
Sirka's complexion turned pale at the sight of numerous ice golems stomping towards her in the forest..
“be careful! They are the spirits of the Echo Forest! But why did it come out already??”
At those words, Suho and Ver's eyes lit up at the same time..
Spirits that had no substance dwelled in the ice and created substance on their own..
That was the identity of the ice golem..
[Solord! I guess all the golems that destroyed the ground outside the dungeon were spirits.!]
Even before Ber’s shout ended, Suho was already running towards the ice golems with his dual swords out..
“wake up!”
Shwaaaaagh!
At that moment, the shadow soldiers, with black vapor swirling around Suho, rose up all at once..
[I am the master's spear!]
nettle liquid-!
Shadow Lancer Quay jumped forward faster than anyone else, as if he had been waiting for this moment..
[Mmmuuu!]
Ku Kwa Bang!
Shadow Minotaur, Mino and Tau pushed back with their strength the ice golems attacking from the left and right of Suho..
[Number of shadows that can be stored : 3/3]
This is just a full-time job.
These were shadow soldiers that Suho could save, but Suho happened to have a lot of daily workers that he had just extracted today..
“It all comes out!”
[Shadow Kobold Lv.1]
[Shadow Kobold Lv.1]
[Shadow Kobold Lv.1]
…….
[Shadow Troll Lv.1]
knight rank
All the monsters I hunted as soon as I landed here..
Suho had extracted all the tribes that were hunting those guys and was hiding them in the shadows..
That number is…….
[Number of shadows that can be extracted : 36/36]
“Wipe it all away!”
Crying!
Gwaaaaa!
At the guardian's command, a total of 36 shadow soldiers began to attack the ice golems..
“Well, what is this number??!”
Sirka, who was taken aback by the untimely appearance of the ice golems, saw the soldiers summoned by Suho and her eyes widened to the point of popping out..
“After all, he is Chacha’s son.!”
Of course, compared to Cha Hae-in's shadow dragon Kaisel, his power was far less than that, but instead, Su-ho's soldiers were numerous..
Moreover, unlike Kaisel, who grew weaker the more he used his power, this was a truly immortal army that would never die as long as it had enough mana for protection.!
However, Sirka fell back and assisted Su-ho by shooting an arrow himself, and told Su-ho something he didn't already know..
“Suho, be careful! The same goes for the spirits of the Echo Forest! No matter how many times you kill them, they keep appearing!
[Mmmuuuu!]
Ku Kwa Bang!
At that moment, the ice golem's body made of ice was shattered by Mino and Tau's awesome strength..
[Defeated the Ice Golem.]
[Defeated the Ice Golem.]
At the same time, an amazing sight unfolded..
Shwaaaaagh-
New spirits seeped into the remains of the ice golems that collapsed after their bodies were shattered, riding the cold wind..
Then, the surrounding ice came together again and the ice golem was resurrected in perfect condition..
At that sight, Lee Chae appeared in Suho’s eyes..
‘Playing it?’
They were amazing guys.
Although the principles were completely opposite to those of the Shadow Soldiers, they were ultimately similar in that they regenerated infinitely no matter how many times you killed them..
“Good?”
Suho’s eyes sparkled..
It was definitely difficult to deal with enemies that kept regenerating no matter how many times you killed them..
But it counts?
“This was the perfect place to level up.?”
Jiggle.
[‘Item: Purchased ‘Intermediate Mana Potion’.]
Suho immediately gulped down the mana potion in one go and fiercely bared his teeth..
“Well, come as often as you like..”
And become my experience.
