Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 27
ring!
Just then the quest was completed..
[‘You have completed ‘Quest: Rescue the Survivors’..]
[Number of survivors rescued: 7]
‘Looks like you got out of the dungeon safely..’
Suho nodded, remembering the hunters who carried the survivors first..
Since he had promised to get to the surface as quickly as possible so as not to be caught by the demons, all that was left to do was for Suho to escape on his own..
‘Previously.’
[Quest completion reward has arrived.]
[Would you like to check your reward?] (Y/N)
“Check your rewards.”
ring!
[The following rewards are available:.]
Reward 1: Ability Points +3
Reward 2: 1 random box
“random box?”
Lee Chae appeared in Suho’s eyes..
‘It's an ordinary random box without the 'cursed' modifier.?
I had no idea what was inside..
Suho accepted all compensation..
All ability points were invested in the strength stat, and after a while, a small random box slowly appeared in Suho's hand..
‘What's in it?.’
When I opened the packaging, unexpectedly, there were several shiny golden coins inside..
Jiggle.
[‘700Obtained 'Gold'.]
“goldfinch?”
Could it be that they gave 700 gold for saving 7 survivors??
It was very clever that you would receive gold that could be used in the store as soon as the store function was activated..
‘Coincidence... … Of course not.’
Suho was also vaguely realizing it now..
I felt the ‘goodwill’ towards me in the level-up system that I inherited from my father..
‘……I appreciate your allowance, father..’
All gold coins received went into inventory..
Then, a mark of 700 gold appeared at the bottom of the inventory..
“store open.”
A new store window opened in front of Suho..
[shop]
Buy / Sell
The store window was extremely simple..
The moment Suho tries to check the purchase list to see what items he can purchase..
[Little Lord.]
Ber suddenly appeared and asked.
[What will you do with that devil?.]
At those words, Suho's gaze returned to the female demon lying on the floor and dying..
‘Come to think of it, there was that guy..’
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
A little while ago, the demon was fighting fiercely with lower-level demons, so I left it unkilled for now, but now it was time to make a choice..
There was something to check before that..
“By the way, I saw you talking to Verner a while ago. We both know each other?”
[That's right. The Radir family was the only family that did not attack the lord when he was subduing the demon world..]
The Radir family were demons who acknowledged their own weakness and volunteered to become Seong Jin-woo's slaves..
However, if it had not been for Seong Jin-woo's whim, their surrender would never have been accepted..
In fact, most of the demons that Seong Jin-woo encountered in the war of monarchs were dead..
Or, like the low-level devils we encountered today, only the cowards who ran away from the battlefield early and hid out of Seong Jin-woo's sight were still alive..
[And you, my lord, forcibly captured that demon named Esil and used him as a guide..]
“excuse me…….”
At that time, Esil, who was lying on the floor, bleeding profusely, called out to Suho in a dying voice..
“I'm sorry during the conversation, but can you please save me first? I really feel like I'm going to die.”
It was then.
Rumbling-!
A rumbling sound echoed from Esil's stomach..
“huh?”
As Suho and Ber's attention focused on Esil, he caressed his flat stomach with an embarrassed expression..
“I starved for several years because I was being chased around.…….”
ah.
When I said I was going to die, I guess I meant I would probably die of hunger..
* * *
To conclude, Suho saved Esil in the end..
There were several reasons, one of which was to test the effects of a 'potion' bought at the store..
[Item: Lesser Healing Potion]
Difficulty of acquisition: E
Type: Consumables
This is a potion that can restore stamina..
Drinking it slowly restores 500 HP..
You can keep it in your inventory, but it cannot be transferred to another person..
‘Can't it be transferred to someone else? Then is it possible to feed it directly??’
Suho approached Esil and poured the potion into her mouth..
“ah……!”
After receiving and drinking the potion, Esil's wounds gradually began to heal..
“What, were you a healer? But what is your relationship with Jinwoo?…….”
However, Suho opened his eyes wide and ignored Esil's gaze, which was staring intently at his face, and focused only on the potion's performance..
‘hmm. The healing speed is a bit slow. It would be difficult to use it hastily during battle. After all, leveling up is the best..’
After a while, Esil's condition improved to the point where he was able to move around..
But the growling sound I heard inside my stomach was still loud..
“I'm so hungry I have no strength at all…….”
‘We fought well before, but.’
And the second reason why Suho saved Esil’s life.
It was because the energy felt from Essil was not that great..
In other words, just because.
Even after taking the potion and recovering, Esil's energy was still at a C level at most..
According to Ver's explanation, it was normal for a demon noble to have S-class level power..
However, for various complex reasons, Esil's strength was cut in half..
‘But no matter how weak it is, you can't just take the devil out of the dungeon..’
For that reason, the method Suho ultimately chose was.
[Would you like to enter the Shadow Dungeon??]
“Entrance.”
Wow!!
Suho took Esil to the shadow dungeon..
The shadow dungeon is a space that cannot be freely entered by anyone except shadow soldiers..
It was the perfect prison to imprison the devil..
However, when I actually entered the shadow dungeon, Esil's reaction was quite embarrassing..
“Ah, I am returning to the world of rest again.!”
Essil, who saw the black and white world, began to express exclamations with an ecstatic expression..
Then I turned to Suho and asked.
“How can you hold the world of rest within the shadows when you are not the Shadow Lord? What kind of relationship do you have with Jinwoo??”
“He's my son.”
“son? Ah! You were definitely Suho?!”
Esil was startled and let out a series of exclamations..
“oh my god! That tiny baby has already grown this much? Humans grow up really fast.”
“know me?”
Suho just tilted his head at Esil’s words..
Even though his sealed memories came back, he still didn't remember every single face he saw when he was young..
In the first place, there were so many soldiers living in Seong Jin-woo's shadow world..
Suho looked away from Esil, who was happy to see him, and asked Ver..
“But what is the world of rest??”
[It's another name for Shadow Dungeon..]
Ber explained.
There were many different expressions referring to the world ruled by the Shadow Lord..
world of shadows.
world beyond death.
And the realm of rest.
Other monarchs who are now dead also had worlds they ruled like this..
However, the Shadow Lord was the only one who carried the entire world in his shadow..
“This shadow dungeon is the world I rule?”
[To be exact, it is a world ruled by the lord. But somehow, when Solord was born, the world split into two. It would be more accurate to say that it has proliferated..]
“Anyway, one of them became my shadow..”
Suho nodded..
Enough small talk, it was time to get to the point..
Suho looked at Esil and asked straight,.
“Did you say Essil? Anyway, since I saved your life, now tell me everything you know. What are the devils plotting on Earth now? What happened in the demon world?.”
“that is…….”
Essil opened his mouth bitterly..
“After the war ended, everything was good at first. Because Seong Jin-woo killed all the other nobles, our Radir family became the first in the ranking of demons. Moreover, you allowed our family, who had nowhere to go, to stay in the shadow world..”
At that time, the demon world had already lost its demon lord and was torn to pieces, wandering through the gaps in the dimension..
In such a situation, Seong Jin-woo allowed the demons of the Radir family who helped him to reside in his world..
But that only lasts a moment.
“We couldn't be inhabitants of the shadow world after all.”
“Because it's a polluted soul?”
“I know it well.”
As Suho also experienced, demons were basically souls with polluted mana, so they could not be extracted as shadow soldiers..
“As a result, we eventually had no choice but to return to the demon world. No, to be exact, the demon world called us..”
“The devil world?”
“huh. The red gate leading to the demon world suddenly opened in front of us who were living in the shadow world. And suddenly it started sucking us in.”
At that time, the demon world that lost its monarch lost its central point and was torn into pieces, wandering through the gaps in the dimension..
A world that has lost its monarch is bound to call for a monarch..
It was natural for the demon world to call the Radir family, the only demon noble in existence..
However, the demon world was a world maintained by the law of the law of the fittest and the strong..
If not for Seong Jin-woo's help, the Radir family, which was only ranked 20th, lacked the power to dominate the demon world..
Then, the demons who had been hiding from the Shadow Lord throughout the war came out again after the war ended and began to challenge the seemingly formidable authority of Radir..
‘If only the Radir family disappears!’
‘We too can become nobles!’
‘Let's eat nobles and suck out purebloods.!’
‘If you consume pure blood, your demonic energy will be amplified.!’
……So all the demons became one and started attacking the Radir family..
The Radir family was initially the weakest among the nobles, so they lacked the power to stop their rebellion..
“Demons with weak strength do not deserve to live. We were eaten by them and had our blood sucked. Now I'm the only demon noble left alive..”
[Is that why I became so weak??]
“……huh. I almost died several times and lost a lot of blood. That's why my strength has weakened.”
Ber, who was listening next to him, added a comment to Suho..
[In the first place, the order of power of the devil race is determined from birth. It is not for nothing that they are called pureblood or hybrid. Since the basis of strength lies in innate blood, people become desperate to drink blood..]
‘It's similar to Gray.’
Suho nodded..
After hearing this, I thought it was a similar situation to Gray from the Fang Clan..
Esil nodded enthusiastically at Ber's words and added..
“that's right. For that reason, demons are extremely afraid of their power weakening. This is a world where if you are weak, whether you are a noble or a mongrel, you will be eaten. That's why the guys who summoned me earlier are really strange..”
“It's strange?”
“huh. Because they came to Earth by possessing the bodies of humans who were weaker than themselves. Making yourself weak is such an un-devilish thing to do..”
It's not devil-like behavior..
Suho realized what Esil was trying to say now..
“Could it be that you want to say that there's someone else behind the demons??”
“huh. Actually, the way they summoned me earlier was also strange. In the first place, we demons are good at destroying and killing, but we don't know how to do magic that forcibly opens dimensional walls..”
“then? Did someone teach it to the devils? who?”
Ber, who was listening to the conversation between the two, sighed for a long time..
[……Is it truly a world?.]
“Hwangye?”
[Gate magic was originally a method often used by Yogmund, the Lord of the Rings..]
“Welcome.”
Suho pondered Ber’s words and drew a picture in his head..
“So does this mean that the remnants of the Demon World and the Phantom Realm joined hands behind the scenes?.”
And one more thing.
‘stardust.’
Mist Bun, one of the ingredients for stardust.
No, ‘blue mist’, the main ingredient of Mist Burn, was the magical power of outer space that melted the boundaries of dimensions..
“……I think the aliens from outer space are planning something using the remnants of the defeated soldiers here..”
[yes. I think so too..]
Ber also nodded with a sombre expression at Suho’s conclusion..
[perhaps… … Those extraterrestrials may have already hid on Earth..]
It seemed like the invasion had already begun..
