Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 63
“……What now?”
Lim Tae-gyu, leader of the Reaper Guild, couldn't believe his ears..
“Our kids are missing?”
“yes. To be exact, it continues to disappear even now..”
“I'm pretty sure he's not just drinking and stretching out, he's really gone missing.?”
“yes. I think I was kidnapped.”
“No, it makes sense that Hunter gets kidnapped.?”
It was absurd..
It's possible that all the guild members who suddenly lost contact over the past few days have been kidnapped..
But Secretary Oh’s expression was serious..
“I was skeptical at first, but I obtained a CCTV video from the planning office a little while ago. Take a look at this…….”
“…….”
Lim Tae-gyu's expression was already becoming more and more serious as he took the USB given by Secretary Oh and plugged it into the computer..
Video files, etc. can just be given by email or messenger, but the fact that they are delivered via USB shows that they are concerned about security..
And recently, there was only one situation in the guild where that was possible..
Vice President Lee Min-seong, who became a villain and disappeared into hiding..
‘no way…….’
Now, because of that guy alone, the image of the guild in Korea has completely fallen to the ground..
No matter how much they tried to excuse themselves by saying they didn't know anything, there was no way people would easily believe them..
The Hunter Association also continued to put pressure on the guild, saying there would be Lee Min-seong's conspirators..
“shit.”
In the end, Lim Tae-gyu's expression became horribly distorted when he checked the video that Secretary Oh gave him..
In the video, a Shinigami guild member was standing blankly on the street..
Then, suddenly, someone quickly snatched his body..
click.
When Secretary Oh pressed the space bar to freeze the screen, the face of the being who snatched the guild member was vaguely visible..
Although the picture quality was a bit poor, there was no way Lim Tae-gyu, who has known Lee Min-seong for a long time, would not recognize the face..
At that moment, a lump of complicated emotions welled up in my heart..
“Lee Min-seong… … This guy is real!”
Kwaang!
He slammed his fist and the desk split in two..
Secretary Oh, startled, hurriedly took a step back..
Secretary Oh had been assisting Lim Tae-gyu for quite some time, but this was the first time I had seen him like this..
That's how much Lim Tae-gyu was truly angry..
“Ha, Minseong-ah…….”
Lim Tae-gyu helplessly rested his back on the president's chair and let out a deep sigh..
The fluorescent lights on the ceiling were blinking uneasily..
“Why did you become like this?…….”
Regardless of whether he was the president, vice president, guild or hunter high school, Lee Min-seong was his old friend anyway..
No, I was a proud friend..
He has always shined since he was young..
At one time, I was proud to be his friend..
Before the Cataclysm.
Even when he asked me to be his driver.
The reason why I readily accepted the offer.
Wasn't it because it was fun to play with that guy in the first place?.
-Taegyu, you drive my car..
-what? suddenly?
-We hang out every day anyway, but if you take the wheel, we can keep playing together even when you're working.?
-Actually, that's right. Then do you give me a salary??
-I'll give you more than the manager. I always buy alcohol anyway, so you could just save up the money and buy a house..
The reason why Lee Min-seong originally appointed him as a driver rather than as a manager was because the manager had a lot of work to do and would not have time to play..
It was really fun after that..
Didn't he follow movie star Lee Min-seong, see filming sets, and eventually marry an actress he met through his introduction?.
At that time, Lee Min-seong and himself were truly inseparable friends..
But since when did it get so twisted?.
Really what happened…….
no.
‘I actually knew.’
I just pretended not to know.
Lim Tae-gyu clearly remembered that moment..
After the world suddenly changed due to a cataclysm.
After suddenly awakening to an S-class hunter,.
‘The day I bought my first drink.’
The first large amount of money I earned after becoming a hunter..
The moment the enormous amount of money was deposited into his bank account, the first thing Lim Tae-gyu did was to drink alcohol to his grateful friend who always bought him drinks and meals..
-Hey, I did the math today.?
-……what?
-I felt sorry that I had always been the one getting the benefit of it all this time. From now on, I too will live.
-…….
An awkward expression appeared on Lee Min-seong’s face at that time..
I still don't know what that feeling was..
But it was from that day.
Immigration is starting to change.
Then, the moment Lee Min-seong awakened to become an A-level hunter one level lower than himself..
He really turned into a different person..
He suddenly began to express a huge sense of inferiority towards himself, as if all the friendships he had built up had never happened..
‘Why does he still have so much…….’
They say that what you really can't understand is the human mind..
Lim Tae-gyu has never once accepted the fact that he became an S-class hunter as luck..
Good luck and bad luck are two sides of the same coin.
That day was full of luck.
He was lucky enough to have a talent for magic and became an S-class awakened person, but his wife, who was by his side, was enveloped in a blue fog and turned into a mist burn..
and… … attacked his only son.
The day of awakening.
That extremely lucky day.
In the end, Lim Tae-gyu had to use that power to kill his beloved wife, or rather, something that was his wife..
The very day I lost everything.
The only friend who remained by my side at that time was…….
It was Lee Min-seong..
“Haha, how did this really happen?…….”
Lim Tae-gyu pressed his thumb against his throbbing head and gritted his teeth..
And I stared at Lee Min-seong's face beyond the monitor next to the shattered desk..
His demon-like expression, clearly visible even in a blurry state, had no trace of its former luster..
“so.”
Secretary Oh trembled at the extremely cold voice that flowed from Lim Tae-gyu's mouth..
“Why do you think Lee Min-seong kidnapped our guild members?.”
“Well, I don't know. Couldn’t it be revenge? After the incident occurred, we first cut off Vice President Lee Min-seong.…….”
“no. If revenge was his goal, he could have just killed him. He wouldn't have kidnapped him..”
In fact, Lee Min-seong was attacking hunters who were not part of the Reaper Guild these days, and they were all killed on the spot..
Come to think of it, Lee Min-seong's back, which was captured on CCTV, had what looked like insect wings attached to it..
According to experts' analysis, its wings are most similar to those of bees among insects.…….
“Punishment…….”
Lim Tae-gyu thought about punishment with a cold head..
Bees were insects that lived together in groups..
“……Could it be that the purpose of the kidnapping was to increase the number of companions? Make it the same punishment as yourself?”
“yes? I've never even heard of such a skill..”
Secretary Oh opens his eyes wide and shakes his head saying this is nonsense..
“I don't know. That greedy guy might have paid a lot of money to buy a rune stone with amazing skills..”
“…….”
Jump up.
After gathering his thoughts for a moment, Lim Tae-gyu suddenly stood up..
“Tell this to the planning team. From now on, find a dungeon where bees can live..”
“More, dungeon.?”
“okay. After all, the only place for a villain to hide in this narrow Korea is the dungeon..”
“Yes, deliver it right away... … uh? Where are you going all of a sudden??”
“weapons room.”
Secretary Oh couldn't help but be taken aback by Lim Tae-gyu's actions of giving an order and immediately walking out of the president's office..
A tremendous amount of speculation was surging from Lim Tae-gyu's whole body as he headed toward the weapons room..
The S-class hunter, overcome with anger, began to move..
* * *
that time.
Suho was holding the neck of the last remaining lancer..
“Keke! Keck!”
The face of the lance knight struggling with his legs hanging on one of Suho's hands was full of fear..
“Let me ask you just one question.”
Suho looked the guy straight in the eyes and asked.
“where is your master?”
“kirick……!”
The lancer, who was struggling in Suho's hand, let out a gasp and fiercely bared his teeth..
“When you meet him... … You won't be safe either.…….”
“That's for me to decide. Where are you?.”
“Kiririk! I think I would say……!”
“If you don't like it, don't.”
Kwasik!
“……!”
Suho mercilessly breaks his neck.
[Defeated the Corrupted Lancer.]
[Your level has risen!]
dump.
Suho opened his mouth to the corpse of the Lancer lying on the floor..
“Just ask your shadow.”
Suho looked at the black smoke creeping up from the corpses of the Lancers lying nearby..
[Extractable target.]
[Extractable target.]
[Extractable target.]
…….
After Suho extracts and releases five shadow mummies,.
I stretched out my hand towards the shadows of the lancer..
“wake up.”
Kiiiiaaaa-!
At that moment, the lancers' cries of pain echoed everywhere..
Eventually, the shadows began to bubble up..
Kwasik! Kwasik!
Insect legs began to crawl out of the shadows..
And lifted his own body from under hell..
ring!
[Shadow extraction was successful.]
[Shadow extraction was successful.]
[Shadow extraction was successful.]
…….
“good. It's a new family member.”
Suho looked at the new shadow soldiers standing in front of him with a satisfied expression..
[Shadow Lancer Lv.1]

[Shadow Lancer Lv.1]

“I will ask.”
Cheocheocheochuk!
At Suho's words, the five Shadow Lancers knelt in a solemn posture..
“where is your old master?”
Cheocheocheochuk!
At that question, the lancers all pointed their spears toward the floor..
“under?”
[Kiririk!]
“Was he hiding underground?.”
A smile slowly appeared on Suho’s lips..
It was then.
nettle liquid-!
At that moment, new lance knights were swarming over Suho's head..
That number is dozens.
[Contaminated Lancer] [Contaminated Lancer]
[Contaminated Lancer] [Contaminated Lancer]
…….
[Kieeek! Little Lord, I guess these five guys were just the advance guard.!]
Ber is making a fuss for no reason.
But for some reason, the corners of Ber's mouth were gradually rising..
“The more the better.”
Suho also smiled faintly and raised his head to look at them..
“Kiririk?!”
On the other hand, the newly arrived Lancers could not help but be embarrassed..
Below, shadow lance knights who looked just like them, but with black vapor wafting all over their bodies, were standing guard, guarding Suho..
And the little ant Berga towers over the top of their heads.…….
[Welcome, my new minions!.]
He was chuckling the most evil laugh..
