Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 154
“Okay then now…….”
After giving me the name Kira,.
Suho’s gaze turned to the side..
Even though the Jisan Prison incident was solved, there was a reason why Su-ho still stayed around..
Weeeeenn-
This guy.
It was because of Arsha, the queen bee, who accidentally discovered Suho’s identity..
[Suho, my body has already left this place. therefore… … Even if you search for me like this, it's all in vain... … Squeak.]
When Ver tightened his grip on Arsha, Arsha's doll-sized body was crushed..
But it was all just an act.
The alter ego is an empty shell made by combining several bees, with only the spirit connected to the main body..
Even if that empty shell got a little crushed, she wouldn't feel any pain..
[Little Lord, we must find him and kill him anyway. If this queen bee colludes with the apostle of Italim in the future, it will be a really big problem..]
Ber had a serious expression..
When Guardian revealed his shadow power while fighting Harmacan with all his might..
Arsha, who was nearby, also noticed Suho's true identity..
So, the moment Suho defeats Harmakan and the instance dungeon is terminated,.
He immediately released all shadow soldiers in all directions to search for Arsha's body..
However, even with the use of both Esil and Gray, who have excellent senses, finding Arsha's body was not easy..
The reason was that this area was entirely made up of dense forests and mountains..
Since there were so many flying insects living in the forest, Pocheon City was the optimal environment for bees to hide..
Tsk.
Suho eventually clicked his tongue and gave up his desire to find Arsha's body..
That didn't mean I gave up.
Catching and killing would be the best and easiest way, but there was also a second method..
‘maybe this might be better.’
“Arsha.”
Suho looked straight into Arsha’s small eyes and asked straight,.
“You're doing this because you're curious as to why you can feel Quresha's energy from me right now.?”
flinch.
“Actually, if I had wanted to, I could have run away a long time ago..”
Arsha's small body trembled as those words hit the nail on the head..
And then I looked up at Suho’s face with an awkward expression..
[know… … You were there.]
As Suho said, Arsha's alter ego could have escaped right now by dividing her body into numerous punishments..
But why is Arsha still clinging here, obediently held in Ber’s hands?.
“It doesn't matter if you die because it's an alter ego anyway, but there's no reason to reduce the number of your subordinates..”
And Suho guessed the reason from the beginning..
“You might be wondering exactly what my relationship is with Quresha.?”
[……Phew. As expected, it's Suho..]
At those words, Arsha finally sighed softly and confessed her feelings..
[yes. Actually, it is like that..]
Arsha's voice was trembling with tension..
Arsha has lived for a very long time to become a descendant of Quresha, the king of bugs and the lord of plague..
But for some reason, I was feeling a slight but strong Quresha energy from Suho, so I was very embarrassed..
Of course, the energy was so weak that it was like a kind of pheromone that would not have been noticed by other insects..
‘……It definitely wasn't like this when we first met.’
Arsha recalled the moment she first met Suho..
Until then, only the scent of an animal was emanating from Suho's body..
‘So of course I thought they were descendants of the Fang Lords.…….’
But the problem came after that..
When Suho fought his lancer Lee Min-seong, not only did he feel the scent of an animal, but he also felt a different energy..
There was a poisonous energy flowing from his entire body..
However, at that time, Arsha did not even think that the identity of the poisonous energy was that of Queresha..
‘I thought it was just poison from Lee Min-seong..’
but.
The moment I saw Suho up close when I met him again today..
Arsha was convinced..
[Suho, have you ever…….]
“for a moment.”
Suho interrupted Arsha’s sentence and spoke firmly..
“It's not difficult to satisfy your curiosity. Because it’s not really a big secret..”
At those words, Arsha's eyes instantly sparkled with anticipation..
However, Suho, who saw the reaction, smiled mischievously and continued speaking..
“by the way. Even if I answered gently, would you believe it??”
[…….]
At those words, Arsha closed her mouth with a serious expression..
Based on his own experience, humans are a species that can lie without any hesitation..
The lies were even so clever that they went far beyond the level of mimicry used by insects to deceive their enemies..
“therefore.”
Suho smiled meaningfully and added one condition..
“How about taking a 'Pledge of Faithfulness' with me?.”
[……?!]
Arsha's eyes widened at those words..
[How come you, a human being, know the ‘Oath of Faithfulness’??]
oath of faithfulness.
It was a covenant that even rulers and monarchs could never deviate from, and that they could never tell lies to each other until the contract was broken..
[That's because this body taught me.]
Ber was very proud and raised the corners of his mouth..
These days, Ber has developed a hobby of telling Suho old stories by his bedside whenever he lies down to sleep..
This is kind of like an ant's instinct.
Just like ants catch food one by one and spoon-feed the larvae until they become adults..
Ber still regarded Su-ho as a caterpillar that needed to be looked after, so he was anxious to teach him something whenever he got the chance..
[Phew. All right. For each other's trust…….]
Arsha eventually accepted Suho's offer..
but there was a problem.
[But how do you intend to take the oath of faithfulness? The Oath of Faithfulness cannot be used unless one has a power equivalent to that of a ruler or monarch.…….]
“That's no problem.”
Suho grinned and raised his eyes..
“That's right, Quresha?”
Then, as if I had been waiting, an answer came back from a faraway place..
ring!
[The King of Bugs, the Lord of Plague, casts ‘Oath of Faithfulness (Deal)’.]
[‘Upon accepting the 'Oath of Faithfulness' (bargain), the acceptors cannot tell lies to each other..]
[‘Would you like to accept the ‘Oath of Faithfulness (Deal)’?] (Y/N)
[……!]
At that moment, Arsha was so startled that her body trembled..
Suddenly, the energy of the dead Quresha spread out through the guardian and gave him a compulsion.!
[Ugh, how did this happen... … ! This is Quresha’s… … ? You too!]
Suho looked at her in confusion and forced her to answer with meaningful eyes..
“Now, swear.”
[Hawk, I swear.]
Then, Suho also chose to accept..
That moment.
ring!
[‘The ‘Own of Faithfulness (Deal)’ was made..]
[Acceptors cannot tell lies to each other until the contract is broken by mutual consent..]
[The King of Bugs and the Lord of Plague watches this situation with a very satisfied expression..]
Even as Queresha, who usually doesn't like Suho, he couldn't help but welcome this situation..
Because it meant that Suho decided not to kill Arsha, who had a high possibility of becoming his descendant..
‘Let’s see if we can only tell the real truth.?’
Suho opened his mouth to confirm the validity of this oath..
“I'm in town…….”
It worked well.
The moment I tried to tell a lie, my mouth was forcibly shut..
Suho was finally satisfied and asked Arsha.
“So, let's get started. Arsha, what do you want to know about me??”
[Suho, did you become Quresha’s priest??]
It was Arsa who asked a question as if she had been waiting..
Suho nodded obediently..
“right. I became a priest of the king of bugs, the lord of pestilence, and received the protection of Quresha..”
[also,!]
At that moment, Arsha asked Suho with earnest eyes..
[Then please take me as his……!]
“Now it's my turn.”
Arsha couldn't help but feel nervous from the look on Suho's face as he decisively cut off Arsha's words..
“I have so many questions about you.”
[……Ask anything. I'll answer everything.]
Arsha obediently bowed her head..
The role of the priest is to choose the next king..
Only by showing off well to Suho could he inherit Queresha's power..
“Then I will ask. Arsha, are you an apostle of Itarim or in collusion with Itarim??”
[no. Absolutely not.]
“So, do you intend to stand on Itarim’s side later??”
[no. That will never happen again..]
Arsha's tone was firm..
[All I want is to follow in Quresha’s footsteps and become the king of bugs. I can assure you that no one who claims to be a descendant of a monarch like me will stand on the side of foreign media..]
“The reason is that? Is there any possibility of an exception??”
[of course… … I can't speak for all races, but the goal of the foreign gods is to consume all the remaining magical energy in our world. The moment their goal is achieved, we all become just a handful of mana and become their prey..]
And that was something no one wanted to happen.
Suho rubbed his chin and nodded..
“Hmm. That means there's no need for us to be at odds with each other..”
[you're right. So please to me…….]
“by the way. The word ‘us’ does not include humans.?”
[…….]
In response to Suho's question, Arsha's mouth was forced shut for a moment..
Then he sighed and opened his mouth again..
[That's right. I plan to kill and use humans whenever necessary in the future..]
“Then I guess I'll have to kill you too.”
creepy.
Knowing that Suho's words were sincere, Arsha couldn't help but feel fear..
The current guardian was a descendant of the Shadow Lord and even possessed the divine protection of Queresha..
If he tried to kill her in earnest, her fate was that she would eventually be caught by him and die..
[Now, wait a minute! From now on, I promise to only kill people who are defined as villains.!]
“Then you could first frame him as a villain and then kill him? Human laws are imperfect.”
[……So what should I do then? If you tell me, I will obey you..]
In the end, Arsha completely turned her back on Suho..
Then, he looked at Suho with extremely pitiful eyes and made a earnest request..
[I can be your slave. Even if I inherit Quresha's power, I will serve you forever until I die..]
“……That's a really funny thing to say.”
Stand tall in those words.
Suddenly, a tremendous amount of murder erupted from Suho..
[‘Skill: Use ‘Live’.]
Whoaaaahhh!
[Wow……!]
Arsha became meditative and screamed at his overwhelming lethality, which even contained Queresha's blessing..
Suho's black eyes, filled with a distant abyss, looked down at Arsha with an arrogant gaze..
“Until you die? Aren't you basically a colony of countless bees? If even one bee dies, that oath will be broken immediately..”
[Sorry! sorry! I never meant to do something like that.!]
“okay? Then appear before me in your true form right now..”
[Well, that's…….]
“why? no?”
Suho asked with a smile on his face..
“Are you really scared? I'm afraid I'll kill you right away?”
[me… … Will you promise not to kill me??]
“No, I plan to kill you at any moment..”
[…….]
“But I promise I won't kill you if you don't go against my wishes..”
[Such an unreasonable promise…….]
“If you don't like it, you will live forever as a mere insect, not a descendant of Quresha..”
[…….]
Arsha felt deep despair at those words..
in fact… … I knew it from the beginning.
Realize that this conversation is absolutely going to be against you..
Now, Suho was the absolute best..
Arsha desperately wanted something from Suho, but Suho wanted nothing from Arsha at all..
Rather, if there's anything you want, is Arsha's death?.
So I had no choice but to suffer this one-sided abuse of power..
Of course, if you obediently follow the abuse, the reward will be certain..
‘Because I will be able to become the king of bugs that I have longed for..’
So, Arsha’s answer was decided from the beginning..
In the end, Arsha nodded, looking even more humiliated and desperate..
[Oh, I understand.…….]
“hmm?”
[kiek?]
But that was then.
“……!”
[……!]
sudden!
Suho and Arsha, plus Ber and Harmakan who were receiving attention..
They all opened their eyes wide at the same time and turned their heads to look in the same direction..
[Little Lord!]
[someone is coming!]
I love you so much-!
Someone with tremendous magical power was running towards me at high speed along the ridge.!
But that power is……!
[S class!]
“Could it be Hwang Dong-su??!”
The second reason why Suho still remained around here.
It was because of the possibility that Hwang Dong-seok's younger brother, Hwang Dong-su, might appear here after hearing the news..
“First go in everything!”
The moment when all the shadow soldiers disappeared at Suho's command..
Kwaang-!
Finally, ‘he’ arrived in front of Suho..
But he was not Hwang Dong-su.
“Such a terrible smell of blood!”
As soon as he found Suho, he radiated ferocious energy from his whole body and struck Suho with his sharp, white furry fist..
Kwaaang-!
“……!”
He bared his teeth and roared at Suho, who quickly dodged the attack..
Crumble!
“Avoid this? You're a villain after all.!”
“Uh, no.?”
It's Suho..
