Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 167
……Looking back, Suho's school days were always a series of boredom..
square desk.
square blackboard.
square classroom.
People wearing the same clothes gather together.
A standardized world where everyone learns the same things.
That was all Suho remembered from his school days..
‘……boring.’
Looking back, there were many moments when I yawned inexplicably and felt bored in those days..
……Something.
A vague feeling that my heart beats a little more and that I knew many amazing things..
Every time he got that feeling, Suho couldn't bear the boredom..
That was right then..
tick.
time has stopped.
And an unbelievable sight unfolded before Suho’s eyes..
Students leaving the school gate.
students doing exercise.
car passing through the roadway.
People passing by on the sidewalk next to it.
And even the ball in the air.
Everything that was moving stopped at once..
‘'it' appeared.
gate.
A round black hole suddenly appeared at the back of the classroom..
A door of deep darkness that makes you feel like you'll be sucked in if you get close to it..
It would have been something that would have frightened any normal child, but instead of crying or screaming, Suho put his hand on his chest..
pounding, pounding, pounding.
My excited heart was beating wildly..
perhaps.
Maybe he had been looking forward to something like this for a long time..
‘Mom always said I looked like my dad.’
If it were my father…….
How did you move in times like this??
The answer was there.
Suho jumped into the gate without hesitation..
That's how it started.
In short, it was the most intense and fierce moment of his life..
Really... … A terrible dream.
Wow!
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
[Your level has risen!]
[Your level has risen!]
[Your level has risen!]
…….
In that dream, Suho was injured and died countless times..
He kept running forward, forward, defeating the enormous number of demonic beasts that were attacking him..
and finally.
At the end of the dream, Suho was able to encounter ‘him’.
A man wearing a hood so his face is unrecognizable.
An unidentified man who was radiating pressure from his entire body to the point of suffocation..
But now I know.
‘Who was ‘he’?.
‘……father?’
Su-ho couldn't help but be embarrassed by the sight of his father, Seong Jin-woo, appearing in front of him..
Of course I know.
That was definitely an illusion.
There's no way my father in space would suddenly appear here, right?.
So that's fake.
but.
It was inevitable that I would be worried..
‘Can I win against my father now??’
gulp.
Suho swallows dry saliva.
Looking back, even though I was level 99 in my dream, I was knocked out in one hit..
But my current level is lower than then.
‘no. My father won't be as strong as he was then. That's a fake, created through genjutsu..’
Suho was sure.
There was no way that a mere demonic illusionist could replicate the power of his father, the Shadow Lord..
So enough…….
‘No, even if it were, there was too much pressure.?’
The merciless pressure that is weighing down the area..
The magic of the Great Joint Demon Race was so amazing that from the moment his father's illusion appeared, Guardian's sensory stats were fluctuating like crazy..
Even though he clearly knew it was an illusion, Suho couldn't help but break into a cold sweat due to the pressure pressing down on his entire body..
[……Hahahaha! I never thought there would be someone with memories like this! A shadow lord!]
Xavier, who came to his senses belatedly, burst into laughter..
I finally figured out what was going on..
Xavier pointed at Suho and shouted in a confident tone..
[You! I guess I encountered the Shadow Lord somewhere! cancer! The Shadow Lord is a nightmare in itself.!]
Xavier, an illusionist from the demon race, had seen the Shadow Lord briefly from a distance..
Of course, I was able to survive until now because I ran away without looking back as soon as I saw it..
But just seeing it from afar made the memory of that day truly terrifying and cursed..
At the same time it was a huge shock.
The energy of death emanating from the Shadow Lord!
If only I could bring out the horror of that day from my memories.!
‘I can now have even the Shadow Lord as a subordinate.!’
Re-presentation of memory)!
That was the genjutsu that Xavier devoted his entire life to compiling..
Of course, it cannot be completely identical, but even if you succeed in recreating the Shadow Lord, the king of death, your soul will achieve a tremendous level of transcendence.!
But unfortunately, his research ultimately failed..
No, to be exact, it was only half a success..
The illusion of mirage was completed, but the sight of the Shadow Lord that Xavier himself saw was all too fleeting..
It was impossible to create the Shadow Lord as an illusion using such flimsy memories..
[But I never thought I would find it this way!]
I knew well that the Shadow Lord had been living in the human world for a long time..
But I never thought there would be a soul among humans who remembered the Shadow Lord so clearly.!
Xavier looked at Suho with greedy eyes and whetted his appetite..
[Clackclack. You are mine now! I will bind your soul and use it forever as a source of fantasy for the Shadow Lord.!]
And he gave a cruel voice command to the Shadow Lord, who was spewing out terrible energy..
[Listen! Shadow Lord! I am your master Xavier! Kill the human in front of you right now and bring his soul to me.!]
At those words, Suho raised his entire body's magic power with a nervous expression..
‘Do your best from the beginning.’
In fact, the most effective way to deal with an illusionist was to ignore the illusionist and aim directly at the illusionist..
But of course, the illusionist never revealed himself openly..
Xavier was also hiding somewhere and only his voice could be heard..
Suho expanded his senses to catch his energy, but strangely, his energy was felt in all directions at the same time..
-honey…….
“I'm sorry... … . I take you with my hands…….”
Even in Lim Tae-gyu's fantasy of his wife facing him with a painful expression,.
Even in the fantasy that many other hunters are facing,.
And even from the shadow lord Seong Jin-woo standing over there..
[Cluck cluck. You're quick-witted.]
……Xavier's energy was there..
[Yes. All the illusions here are mine. And now even the shadow lord you yourself summoned is……!]
Xavier's evil laughter echoed everywhere..
however.
Stop.
[……uh?]
Suddenly a panicked voice was heard from Xavier..
At the same time, Suho also noticed something strange..
his father.
No, it's a fake Seong Jin-woo..
He seemed like he was going to attack with all his might..
Soon he looked at Suho's face and smiled..
As if it's cute.
-You're still weak.
“……?”
Moment.
It was Suho who felt something strange..
Indeed, the magic of the demon race was amazing..
Doesn’t that voice and vibe really sound like my father?.
The problem is that the father was a fantasy that attacked him in his dreams..
however.
[What, what! Why doesn't it move according to my will?……!]
What is this again??
For some reason, Xavier's voice seemed very confused from earlier..
-hmm.
‘Seong Jin-woo withdrew his gaze from Su-ho and looked around in a relaxed manner..
Quaoooooooooo-!
A fiercely swirling sand storm.
Hunters trapped inside and facing illusions with painful expressions.
Seong Jin-woo, who was watching the scene, nodded and opened his mouth again..
-Um, I see. Am I an illusion now?.
“uh?”
[……What, what?!]
Xavier was extremely shocked..
Something truly unbelievable happened..
An illusion created through genjutsu has an ego and is aware that it is an illusion.!
[This is impossible……!]
-There is nothing impossible.
[……!]
-At least to me.
Xavier trembled at those words..
I got goosebumps.
Suddenly, Seong Jin-woo's vision was talking to him, looking straight into his eyes while he was hiding in the sandstorm..
‘He laughed and asked Xavier a question..
-Do you know how many demons have become shadow soldiers so far??
[Now, wait a minute.]
At that moment, an ominous feeling came over Xavier..
It wasn't a question I wanted to hear an answer to..
Xavier immediately realized the intention behind the question..
How many of their own people died at the hands of the Shadow Lord in the fierce war and were incorporated into the Shadow Legion?.
Even after they became shadow soldiers, if they were still studying magic ‘as a demon race’,?
And now, the king who rules over those who have become the Shadow Demon Race, the Shadow Lord.…….
-okay. Thanks to this, I have become quite familiar with the witchcraft of the demon race..
‘Jinwoo Seong expressed his sincere gratitude to Xavier..
-So let me praise you. Your genjutsu is quite useful. Especially in the current situation.
And suddenly ‘he’ raised his head and looked up at the sky..
Although there was nothing to be seen due to the sandstorm..
He paid no attention to his eyes and quietly watched the sky beyond..
The vast universe that spreads beyond, and my own body that exists there..
eat.
Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on Seong Jin-woo’s lips..
Then he looked away again, looked at his son Suho, and called someone's name..
-ber.
[……Kieeeeek!]
Ber, who disappeared at that command, suddenly appeared through the sandstorm..
And he recognized his master, Seong Jin-woo, and burst into tears..
[Wow, king!]
illusion of mirage.
However, Ber's eyes, which were psychically connected to Seong Jin-woo, were able to discover Seong Jin-woo's will through the illusion..
-……Ber, you've lost strength..
Seong Jin-woo, who recognized Ber's condition at a glance, clicked his tongue..
-Well, it doesn't matter.
He lifted his hand and placed it on Ber's head..
-Just know. Shadow soldiers share all of the senses with their monarch. That's level 2 of the shadow storage skill..
Then he muttered as if he wanted Suho, who was watching him, to listen..
-If you mix it appropriately with the witchcraft, something like this is possible..
Paaaaat!
‘Black energy swirled from his hand and seeped into Ver..
Feeling his touch for the first time in a long time, Ber closed his eyes happily..
That moment.
ring!
[Quest has arrived.]
“This, this?”
Suho's eyes widened as a system message suddenly appeared in front of him..
And before checking the contents of the quest, I turned my gaze to see my father's fantasy, and saw him grinning at me..
-okay. It's a bit primitive, but that's how quests were originally created..
Level up system.
It is an advanced magic created by Candiaru, a great magician of the Demon Race, for one purpose..
The purpose is…….
-The reward is the next Shadow Power..
‘Seong Jin-woo said to his son with a slightly mischievous smile..
-So, go ahead and prove yourself..
[Would you like to accept the quest?] (Y/N)
