Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 127
It was truly a wondrous sight..
Suddenly, the hot spring water of the Echo Forest began to swirl around Sirka's toes, and soon surged around Sirka's entire body..
Kuwaa-
At that moment, the hot steam of the hot spring and the bitter cold intertwined and resonated..
Blah blah blah!
Centered around Sirka, the cloudy steam rising above the hot springs instantly turned into pure white frost and froze..
It was a wonderful moment, as if the entire world had frozen..
……It was like that in reality..
ring.
[‘‘Sanctuary of the Yetis’ activates.]
Just then, a message appeared in front of Suho..
[Passive skill ‘(Unknown)’ is activated.]
time is frozen.
* * *
A world of complete blankness.
Suho stood alone at the end of the empty horizon..
‘……Here it is again.’
Suho calmly looked around..
And he found the being who called him here..
‘found.’
the end of the empty horizon.
Beyond it, an old and shabby ice elf was sitting quietly..
Suho took a step and slowly approached him..
‘did you call me?’
[…….]
When Suho spoke first, the old ice elf's head slowly lifted..
What was then revealed was his old and worn-out expression and his tired, empty eyes..
[The King of the Yetis, the Lord of the Cold War has his eyes on you.]
At the system message that appeared just in time, Suho was convinced of his identity and nodded..
‘As expected, you are the king of the Yetis, Lord of the Cold, Silad..’
[…….]
But even when Suho spoke, there was no response from Silad..
He just stared at Suho with a tired look on his face..
‘what?’
Suho felt puzzled by the atmosphere, which was so different from the other monarchs he had met so far..
Suddenly, I remembered the moments when I faced other monarchs..
Even though the King of Beasts, the Fang Lord, was dead, he still radiated the power of a king from his whole body..
The King of Bugs, the Lord of Plague, also burned with revenge until his death and attacked himself with countless poisonous insects..
But what can I say about the monarch of the cold sitting in front of me?…….
He was just a shabby old man who was old and tired..
[……okay. are you his son.]
Silad, the Lord of the Cold, who had been looking at Suho's face like that for a while, finally opened his mouth..
[What an amazing talent. You rescued my soul from wandering the sea of the afterlife. Should we really say that he is the son of the Shadow Lord?.]
‘sea of afterlife?’
[Don't you know? It is a place where the dead go when they die. So what is the importance of this expression?…….]
Silad looked up at the empty sky with a regretful expression..
Of course there was nothing to see on it..
nothing.
[……Opening your eyes in a world of nothingness is a truly rare experience. Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.]
A self-mocking smile appeared on Szilard's lips..
[okay. Death is such a futile thing. Why did I struggle so much when I knew it would end like this anyway?.]
‘…….’
Suho silently watched him complaining like a crazy person without making eye contact with him..
[You know what? Other monarchs may be different, but I actually fought because I didn't want to die. The darkness inside me constantly whispered to me to destroy everything, but I knew that the only end would be destruction..]
Whoa whoa-
[Yeah, I knew I would be like this someday..]
He sat down and let out a soft sigh..
Then, the pure white steam that flowed from its mouth turned into frost, creating a mirage in the air..
Then, countless illusions of ice elves appeared before Suho and Silad..
[Do you know? We have been forced into war from the moment we were born. From the beginning until now, perhaps forever. That's why God created us.]
Wow!-!
The ice elves were fighting in the mirage illusion..
No, I was running towards certain death..
And among them…….
‘There was also ‘Shillard’..
[You know what? At the end of the war, we 'almost' won. I also killed your father with my own hands..]
‘……!’
At that moment, Suho’s eyes opened wide..
A young man reflected in a mirage.
The identity of the man who looked so much like him was clearly his father, Seong Jin-woo..
and…….
Puuk!
[I drove the knife straight into your father's heart with my own hands..]
In the fantasy, Silad was stabbing a frozen blade into Seong Jin-woo’s heart..
‘father……?!’
When Suho saw that, his eyes widened..
[The King of the Yetis and the Lord of the Cold uses ‘Skill: Echo’.]
At that moment, the conversations taking place in the fantasy passed by Suho's ears like an echo on the frosty wind..
-I'll give you back your weapons. Now, can you recover like before??
Silad in the fantasy was whispering into ‘Seong Jin-woo’s’ ear..
In an extremely vicious voice.
-Is this the end, human? Then you won't be able to see it. The moment our troops arrive on this land. At that time, your human corpses will form mountains and your blood will form rivers..
Silad was pouring out a terrible curse on Seong Jin-woo, who was dying after being stabbed in the heart..
-But this country where you were born and raised will be different. I will personally freeze all humans on this earth and make them suffer forever. They will live for an infinite number of years, neither alive nor dead..
[……Hate me endlessly in death.]
At some point, Szilard's voice in the echo and Szilard's voice here were heard overlapping..
-That too will be my pleasure.
[That too will be my pleasure.]
Passchuk.
And at that moment, Seong Jin-woo's crumbling body was scattered into pieces and scattered with ice powder..
Silad, who was sitting looking at the ice powder in vain, looked at Suho with an expression that did not make sense..
[Did you see it? I murdered your father with the utmost cruelty and planned to curse all lives related to your father. The reason is also the same. Just so I don't die.]
Silad didn't even bother to show Suho what happened next..
Afterwards, Seong Jin-Woo was resurrected again, and ultimately it was revealed that it was Szilard himself who lost his life in the war..
What does it matter in the first place??
The fact that you are here right now proves all the results..
‘……Why are you showing me this??’
Suho's eyes were boiling like hot flames as he watched his father fall apart..
Both fists were full of strength as if they were going to rush at the shield in front of them at any moment, but they did not act rashly..
I don't know if that vision was real or a lie, but either way, my father was still alive at this point..
Rather, it was Szilard who is now dead and here..
So I was even more confused..
Why is Szilard showing himself this illusion?.
Why are you provoking yourself like this?.
[……So, the moment I suddenly came to my senses from the sea of the afterlife and realized that it was the Shadow Lord's son who had awakened me..]
At that moment, an extremely cold, murderous look passed through Silad's eyes, which had been empty until now..
[I was planning on killing you right away..]
That handful of life gave me goosebumps, as if the bitter cold had been extremely compressed..
[I don't know how far my power will extend to you, but I was planning to somehow drag your soul into the sea of the afterlife where I was. but.]
……couldn't do that.
Because Suho wasn't the only one who woke him up.
Ice Elf Sirka.
Sirka, Guardian of the Baruka Tribe.
Szilard was curious..
Who is the heir who discovered the monarch's sanctuary hidden in the Echo Forest?.
To determine whether or not he is truly a vessel to pass on his power..
He took control of Shiraka's body and read the memories contained within it..
And I sincerely regretted it..
[……I shouldn't have seen it.]
Szilard saw it..
Sirka personally experienced what happened in this land after the war ended..
Haaa-
At that moment, Szilard's sigh created the illusion of frost again..
In that fantasy…….
Surprisingly, there was Cha Hae-in, Su-ho's mother..
‘mother…….’
Suho also saw the vision..
In that fantasy, Cha Hae-in…….
He was with the ice elves who survived the war..
He was protecting the young and weak children, bringing smiles to their faces that were as frozen as the bitter cold..
like a mother.
[……She was like a mother..]
It was only then that Suho realized the identity of the expression on Szilard's face..
Even at the moment when he plunged the knife into Seong Jin-woo's heart, Silad cursed him..
-I will personally freeze all humans on this earth and make them suffer forever. They will live for an infinite number of years, neither alive nor dead..
-Hate me endlessly like that in death. That too will be my pleasure.
Szilard, who had said so confidently, was actually sitting here, dead..
And the tribes that survived after losing the war…….
Who would have thought that he was being cared for by the wife of Seong Jin-woo, the winner of the war?.
Moreover, the expressions of the ice elves being cared for by Cha Hae-in were filled with bright smiles without a single wrinkle..
Pfft.
At that moment, Szilard frowned with an extremely humiliated expression..
Ironically, their bright expressions were warm smiles that I, their king and monarch, had never seen before..
It was natural..
To him, they were just words on a battlefield that would last forever..
From the beginning, they were created just for that purpose..
however.
[How could you make an expression like that?.]
He sighed and looked back at Suho..
[Yeah, you guys won. I admit that I was ultimately defeated even in death..]
Tears were leaking from Szilard's eyes, who had a humiliated expression on his face..
[Now, instead of hating you in death, I have come to feel endless gratitude for you. But even this humiliation... … Just thank you.]
okay.
I was extremely grateful..
Until tears come to my eyes.
Szilard, who had been sitting the whole time, slowly stood up..
[Son of the Shadow Lord.]
Whoa whoa!-!
Then, the monarch's energy slowly rippling from his aging body filled the empty world..
[The King of the Yetis, the Lord of the Cold War has his eyes on you.]
That supremely arrogant gaze landed on Suho..
[I have one favor to ask of you. This is the cowardly and servile will of a monarch who was defeated in war, and it will be my last regret left on this earth..]
‘…….’
[please… … Please thank your mother on my behalf..]
okay.
That's all..
[And just as your mother cared for my children, from now on I will also protect you..]
Shaaaaa-
At that moment, the energy of frost that filled this empty world blessed Suho..
ring.
[‘Protection: ‘Blessing of extreme cold’ is applied..]
At that moment, Suho’s frozen time began to move again..
The last voice of Silad, the monarch of the cold, who is fading away, reached Suho..
[Your mother is in danger nearby. I'll send it right there.]
