Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 175
lang syne.
So, in the world before Shadow Lord Seong Jin-woo turned back time on Earth,…….
There were hunters who received the title of ‘strongest’, which was given to only five people in the entire world..
‘National power level hunter’
The title was literally a symbol of absolute power, meaning that one person's power was equivalent to that of a country..
It was an honorable title given only to hunters with tremendous power that could not even be described as 'S-class'..
However, the reason why those five people were given such an honorable title was not at all glorious..
mankind's worst disaster.
The first S-class gate.
A boss-level demon that popped out from there..
‘dragon kamish’
The worst red dragon in history was a monster with such tremendous power that it wiped out the entire western United States at the same time as Dungeon Break..
At that time, the United States invited the world's best hunters with a huge reward and barely succeeded in hunting Kamish..
But as a result, only five survived until the end..
Just one demon beast killed all the world's top hunters..
It was clear that if it had not been for their sacrifices, the nation of the United States would have been wiped from the world map..
Therefore, the United States promised to treat the five who saved its country's fate as 'one nation' rather than as one person..
It is said that this was the origin of the term ‘national power level’..
But there was an interesting fact here..
National power level hunters had something in common..
To be more precise, all four people except the hunter who was the healer in the Kamish raid had one skill in common..
Telekinesis.
It was a skill to apply force to an object without touching it..
There were many strong people before and after Kamish Raid, but there were only four people in history who had the same abilities as him..
So, the Hunter Management Bureau at the time, which was the only one who knew what they had in common, even considered 'telekinesis' as a condition for being a national power-level hunter..
But now many years have passed since then.
Suho knew exactly the true identity of the ‘telekinesis’ they had..
[Skill: Ruler's Power]
That power was none other than the result of the 'Rulers' inhabiting the bodies of ordinary S-class hunters..
In other words, four hunters who became strong at the level of national power by borrowing the power of the ruler at the time..
Those who had the capacity to accept the rulers were the ones most likely to be taken over by Italim's apostles..
Like Thomas Andre in Glacier Dungeon.
* * *
“Thomas Andre, you are under arrest for the murder of Christopher Reed..”
While Thomas Andre is talking on the phone with Suho.
Before he knew it, numerous fully armed hunters were approaching and surrounding him..
United States Hunter Bureau.
The agency with the most powerful authority in the United States was dispatched to stop Thomas Andre's rampage..
But despite this numerical superiority, it was not the beleaguered Thomas Andre who was nervous..
“Ah, wait a moment. As you can see, I'm on an important call right now..”
Thomas Andre sent a light gesture to the hunters surrounding him and then.
I continued the call with Suho calmly..
“…….”
gulp.
On the other hand, the hunters of the Hunter Management Bureau who were completely surrounding him looked determined..
The person they were trying to arrest was none other than Thomas Andre..
But the problem was that the person killed by him was also Christopher Reed, one of America's leading S-class hunters..
‘Why on earth did someone like Thomas Andre suddenly do something like this??’
‘There would be nothing to gain by killing an S-class hunter..’
‘You can make astronomical amounts of money by going into dungeons with all the effort you put into it, so why on earth??’
The Hunter Management Bureau, which had no information about Itarim, could not help but be taken aback by Thomas Andre's unexpected actions..
It's not that there have been no fights between S-class hunters until now, but it was an unprecedented event that someone fought until someone died like this..
This was because a system called Hunter Point Ranking was created, and there was no longer a need for hunters to compete pointlessly with each other..
How many more dangerous demon beasts have you hunted?.
How many dungeons have you conquered?.
The Hunter Ranking, which is created by converting these various experiences into scores, is the only indicator recognized around the world..
Hunters began to focus more on conquering dungeons rather than focusing on fights that were worthless..
‘But why on earth?’
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't figure out why Thomas Andre suddenly murdered Christopher Reed..
It was then.
“thomas andre.”
Suddenly, the hunters split left and right, and there was a man walking through them..
An old gentleman with his hair neatly brushed.
Surprisingly, unlike other hunters, he was not armed in any way..
“Director……!”
“It's dangerous!”
“Ah, it's okay.”
He stopped his subordinates who were criticizing his reckless behavior with a light wave and then.
Step by step.
I walked towards Thomas Andre..
Even Thomas Andre had no choice but to pause the call at his appearance..
“Adam White.”
The corner of Thomas's mouth curled up as if he was interested when he recognized his identity..
“What is the director of the Hunter Management Bureau doing here??”
“……Thomas Andre. Please kindly respond to the survey..”
The corners of Thomas Andre's mouth rose even more at those words..
“What should I do if I don’t like it??”
Thomas Andre grinning and showing his teeth.
Despite his provocative remarks, the Director of the Hunter Management Bureau, Adam White, only sighed softly rather than raising his voice..
Suddenly his eyes scanned the completely devastated land around him..
Originally, this was the location of the luxurious mansion where Christopher Reed lived..
But now…….
‘It's like a nuclear bomb exploded. Is this what happens when two S-class hunters fight?.’
Saying that an S-class hunter is a walking weapon of war was definitely not an exaggeration..
Adam White smiled bitterly and politely asked Thomas Andre again..
“……If you say you don't like it, is there any right? We will have to ask even more earnestly. Everyone is someone's precious child and parent, and I also have a wife and children that I need to take care of..”
“her.”
Thomas Andre opened his mouth with an expression that seemed to have been drained of steam by Adam White's words..
“He's still a boring guy..”
“Despite this, I usually get evaluated as a fun boss..”
“That must be social life. Even my subordinates explode when I say something..”
Even as the nonsense conversation was going on between the two, the hunters surrounding Thomas Andre could not even make a sound..
you know.
Even if Thomas Andre makes a little whim here today, they will never see the sun again tomorrow..
“…….”
“…….”
There was a moment of silence, and Thomas Andre and Adam White's eyes crossed in the air..
For some it was a moment, but for others it was like eons later..
“Well, sure.”
Thomas Andre eventually smiled and obediently raised his hands as if he was surrendering..
At the same time, the body of Christopher Reed he was holding fell to the floor..
crispy.
Surprisingly, the moment the body hit the floor, it crumbled and broke into pieces like a piece of burnt charcoal..
The eyes of everyone who witnessed this grew wide..
But at the same time, they all breathed a sigh of relief when they realized that they wouldn't have to fight Thomas Andre..
Thomas Andre spoke to Suho again on his cell phone..
“Did you hear? Well, the atmosphere was roughly like this. So, I think it will be difficult for people from other countries for a while too..”
‘Other countries?’
Adam White's expression stiffened when he heard those words from next to him..
Seeing his surprised expression, Thomas Andre laughed heartily and added one more word to Suho..
“It's okay for Chris since he's an American, but people from other countries have political problems..”
-Oh, I'm sure it is..
Suho also agreed to those words and nodded over the phone..
People who were national power level hunters in their past life were still S level hunters..
For someone like Thomas André to say that he would go to another country to deal with them, it was literally the same as the United States declaring war on that country..
“Well, that's it for now. I will send you detailed information about Christopher Reed separately..”
-All right. Thank you for your hard work.
pop.
The call was disconnected.
“Can I ask who you were talking to?.”
In response to Adam White's subsequent question, Thomas Andre smiled instead of answering and draped his muscular arm over his shoulder..
“Adam, it's been a while since we've seen each other, so could you buy me a hamburger on the way over? I used some strength and got hungry.”
“……I'll buy it as a combo.”
“nice. As expected, you are a director, so you have a lot of courage. While you're buying it, buy the subordinates behind you too. Everyone has a really bad complexion..”
“All right.”
Adam White smiled bitterly and listened to all of Thomas Andre's requests..
* * *
After Thomas Andre was obediently arrested by the Hunter Management Bureau,.
As he said, his secretary Laura visited Korea with gifts to deliver to Suho..
“Laura, how is Thomas??”
“You don't have to worry about our boss. I’m the type of person who eats well and lives well wherever I go..”
Laura responded to Suho's concerns as if it was no big deal..
In any case, from the U.S. perspective, it was too risky to tie up Thomas Andre for a long time..
As the income earned by S-class hunters from dungeons decreased, the corresponding taxes also decreased..
Considering its own safety, the U.S. government had no choice but to pressure the Hunter Administration to release Thomas Andre..
The fact that he not only massacred civilians but also killed hunters of the same level also played a role..
No, rather, as the number of S-class hunters decreased by one, Thomas Andre had to fill the void..
“……Moreover, our boss had no intention of killing Christopher Reed from the beginning. Rather, we visited in person to give a gift of detox potion, which is our main product these days..”
Spring of Echo Forest.
The detox potion obtained from the Ice Elves' sacred place was so effective that it restored the spirit of Thomas Andre, who had been possessed by the Apostle of Italim..
Prevent similar accidents by feeding the spring water to other hunters who were at the level of national power in their past lives..
That's exactly what Suho and Thomas Andre had planned from the beginning..
“However, it is said that there was a slight accident while our boss was delivering the detox potion to Christopher Reed..”
“A little accident?”
It was Suho who made a bewildered expression at those words..
I couldn't imagine how little it took to kill an S-class hunter..
“Oh, I also brought information related to it, so it would be quicker for you to see it for yourself. From here on, it’s confidential..”
Laura placed a USB in Suho’s hand..
And along with that, I had the employees bring other items that were originally intended to be delivered to Suho..
After a while, two specially made sturdy bags appeared in front of Suho..
“Is this it??”
“yes. This is the advanced magic stone you asked for last time. And this one… … This is an item that Cha Hae-in found in the tomb of the Gwangryongs..”
“…….”
Suho was silent for a moment as he looked at the large bags Laura handed him..
[Solord, I feel an unusual energy..]
Ber, who suddenly appeared next to me, also looked quite cautious..
click.
Suho opened the bag that came from his mother first..
Of course, I had already been contacted by Cha Hae-in in advance, so I already knew the identity of the contents..
‘It's a dragon's egg…….’
Soon the bag was opened and.
Inside it, as informed in advance, was an egg the size of an ostrich egg..
But the problem was that the system message appeared the moment the egg touched Suho's hand..
ring.
[‘Item: Obtained ‘Kamish’s Egg’.]
