Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 71
Su-ho, Baek Mi-ho, and Lim Tae-gyu managed to enter the beehive through a barrage of arrows..
And the moment I hit the floor.
Taat!
Without even knowing who was first, Suho and Baek Miho's new model jumped forward at incredible speed..
And they cut off the heads of the archers who were shooting arrows at them..
Okay, okay.!
“Queek!”
[Defeated a Tainted Ghoul.]
[Defeated a Tainted Ghoul.]
They were the same as the mutants on the ground..
“shit. They're all our kids?”
Lim Tae-gyu recognized their faces and gritted his teeth. Even though he was mutated, some of his original appearance remained..
“These guys are all guild members who bought it.?”
Baek Mi-ho muttered with a serious expression..
“For some reason, they killed all the other hunters and kidnapped only the Shinigami guild members... … . Did Lee Min-seong really want to become a guild leader in this way??”
“Anyway, now that we're in the hive, let's find the owner. Ber, give me directions..”
[Yes, Little Lord. please follow me.]
At Suho’s words, the navigator, or rather, the bergation, twitched his antennae and took the lead..
It was then.
One of Suho's dual swords, 'Rakan's Fang', spoke to Suho..
-be careful. This beehive is now a sanctuary.
“This is the sanctuary?”
At those words, Suho looked at Rakan's fangs and asked back..
[The King of the Beasts, the Fang Lord, shrugs that it is not him..]
“Then it must be Quresha's sanctuary..”
-It seem to be like that.
“Originally, sanctuaries just appeared in random places like this.?”
-No way. Sanctuary ultimately refers to the territory of monarchs. Now that all the monarchs have died, it has become a place to hold memorial services to them..
sanctuary.
Those words reminded Suho of the sanctuaries of Rakan he had visited..
“That means there could be an artifact in here..”
-That's unknown. Will there be relics, will there be successors, will there be priests?.
“Well, you'll find out when you meet Lee Min-seong..”
Anyway, from the outside it looked like a beehive, but when I went inside, there was a new space completely separated from the outside..
ominous sky.
Thick clouds were swirling as if a big storm was about to arrive..
The air was frozen with fear, and there was a damp smell like a rotting corpse..
“I feel like I entered the gate. Is there a new dungeon?.”
Lim Tae-gyu looked around and muttered..
Suho responded to those words..
“It seems different from the dungeon.”
To be exact, it was a sanctuary..
However, Lim Tae-gyu looked uncomfortable at Su-ho’s words..
“It's different from a dungeon? What do you know to say that??”
Lim Tae-gyu, who was suppressing the growing toxicity of royal jelly with his magic, was nervous..
Even as the guild leader of the Reaper Guild, it was Lim Tae-gyu who was responsible for this whole situation..
Public opinion has already abandoned the Reaper Guild..
Even if I solved this problem this time, I was at a loss as to how to resolve this situation..
I don't know what Lee Min-seong did, but the fact that the person who was the Vice President of the Reaper Guild even opened a dungeon in the middle of the city was sure to deal a huge blow to the Reaper Guild..
The accidental compensation for the people who died today would be enormous..
However, when Su-ho, whose magical power seemed to be only C-level just by looking at him, suddenly said something strange, Lim Tae-gyu found it absurd..
What does a C-class hunter know that makes him throw up at the words of an S-class hunter?.
“So is this a dungeon or what??”
At that time, Baek Mi-ho hurriedly intervened between the two..
“There is no time for us to be like this among ourselves. Rather, Guild Leader Lim Tae-gyu, are you unable to use your magic power right now??”
“…….”
It was Lim Tae-gyu who flinched and kept his mouth shut when he was hit on the spot..
“……That's right. The poison is spreading inside my body, so I am trying to suppress it with my magic..”
“You didn't receive a heal.?”
“Healing didn't work. I think it will be resolved later by getting a higher level healer, but right now there is no suitable healer nearby.…….”
“Then why did you follow me here??”
“……Even if you can't use magical power, your electric power will be enough..”
Even though he clearly couldn't use magical power, the S-class hunter's outstanding physical ability was able to exert tremendous power on its own..
“Oh, I guess it can be used as a shield. That's a good thing.”
“…….”
[stop. I'm going to cry.]
In the end, Ver, who was worse off, stepped forward..
Arani?
Lim Tae-gyu was instantly moved by those words..
A small ant floating next to Suho was looking at him with genuine pity..
But why??
Lim Tae-gyu, who made eye contact with Ver, felt an instinctive feeling of rejection..
Rejection? no, this is more than that…….
creepy.
‘I feel afraid? Why?’
Ber looked at Lim Tae-gyu's face with a strange expression..
[hmm. You've aged quite a bit too..]
“……?”
It was Lim Tae-gyu, who felt puzzled by the way he spoke as if he knew him..
But that feeling didn't last long.
“Everyone ready for battle.”
At that moment, Suho, who was observing his surroundings with his senses widened, looked up at the sky and opened his mouth..
Grumble!
A swarm of pitch-black bees were swarming in the ominous swirling clouds..
No, now I see that wasn't a cloud..
“crazy.”
Lim Tae-gyu made an absurd expression..
“Could it be that all those clouds were swarms of bees??”
Everything I thought was a cloud turned out to be a bee.
[I think it's true that this is a beehive. You've collected a lot..]
Ber twitched his antennae..
[The greatest energy is felt beyond the clouds.]
“In the end, I have to fly again..”
I came in through a rain of arrows, and this time I was told that I had to fly through a huge swarm of bees..
It was then.
ring!
[‘‘Insect Sanctuary’ activates.]
“……!”
Suho suddenly felt a chill..
This feeling was like 'back then'.
It was like entering the sanctuary of beasts.…….
ring!
[Passive skill ‘(Unknown)’ is activated.]
Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
In an instant, Suho's shadow spread out in all directions and colored the whole world..
and.
time has stopped.
No, everything stopped..
* * *
‘……Is it here again??’
Suho stood alone at the edge of the empty horizon..
A world of complete blankness.
‘It is a realm of eternal rest..’
However, the sensation I felt here was completely different from when I met Rakan, the lord of beasts..
‘Is it a bug?.’
Suho looked at the ground he was standing on..
This entire land, no, this entire white world was made up of pure white insects..
Suho’s gaze lifted his head and turned forward..
Then, at the end of the empty horizon, a woman was sitting with her legs crossed, looking down at herself haughtily..
Suho immediately realized its identity..
‘Are you Quresha??’
The corner of the woman's mouth curled up evilly at that question..
[Yes, that's right. My name is Quresha. I am the ghost of eternity who was killed by your father..]
At that moment, the system urgently displayed a message in front of Suho..
[Quresha, King of Bugs and Lord of Plague, has his eyes on you..]
……!
At that moment, the woman's presence began to grow enormously..
It wasn't just that the momentum increased..
Kirik! Kiririk!
Kyaaaak!
The pure white insects that made up this land were gradually coming together as one, and the size of the woman was becoming increasingly gigantic..
[……At one time.]
And he looked down at Suho's relatively small figure and whetted his appetite..
[I wanted to try it to see what the same monarch would taste like..]
The giant bug queen giggled and smiled self-mockingly..
[But in the end, I was the one who worked..]
That moment.
The ground where Suho was standing turned into a huge hand and grabbed Suho's body..
Gooooo.
The hand gradually rose and raised the guard in front of Queresha's face..
Queresha slowly looked down at Suho's appearance and reminisced about that time..
[I know that? Your father had a poisonous venom worse than any insect I've ever met..]
As if trying to find the shadow of Seong Jin-woo, who killed him, on Su-ho's face..
[Looks similar. a lot with him.]
‘okay? There are many people who say she looks more like her mother..’
There was a moment of playfulness in Queresha’s eyes at Suho’s response..
[What would it taste like if I ate you now? Are you similar to your father??]
This is what an innocent child would look like when he kills small bugs by squeezing them with his hands..
But now the situation was the opposite..
Because Suho was much smaller in front of the enormous queen of bugs..
But Suho was resolute..
‘The topic of a ghost who died a long time ago is too pretentious..’
[……Your cheeky speaking habits are just like your father..]
Queresha glared at Suho with eerie eyes and lowered Suho’s body to the ground..
[Yes, you are right. I'm already dead. but…….]
ring!
At that moment, an ominous system message suddenly rang in front of Suho..
[Quest has arrived.]
Before Suho could even check the message, Queresha's smile took on an even crueler light..
[I am originally one and a colony.]
Queresha was born as a small bug and was the king of bugs who grew up by devouring countless bugs..
All the bugs he swallowed formed the body of Queresha..
And all the bugs that filled this world were the corpses and souls of Queresha..
[From the moment you step into my world, you have already been swallowed by me..]
At that moment, the dark poison that was felt outside filled the pure white world..
No, this entire world has started to turn against Suho..
A quest window opened spontaneously in front of Suho..
[Urgent Quest: Queresha's Solitude)]
Quresha, the king of bugs and the lord of plague, has dragged you into ‘solitude.’.
All the bugs that made up Quresha are against you..
Prove yourself by surviving the required time.
Required time: 4 hours
Time remaining: 4 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds
An arrogant smile appeared on Queresha's lips as he looked down at Suho from high above..
[Try struggling hard. Like a bug. Just like I did before your father!]
At the same time, all the bugs that made up this world began to attack Suho..
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Kiyaaaaa!
‘…….’
however.
Quresha felt something strange..
Even after seeing the endless crowd of insects, Suho's expression was completely unmoved, let alone embarrassed..
Even though this was a world of rest, it was a place where not even the guardian shadow soldiers could be summoned..
[Now, wait a minute.]
Rather, it was Queresha who was embarrassed..
[What on earth is that power? no way……]
Suho's arm was enveloped by an increasingly ominous black energy..
Moreover, the energy was not just one thing..
Wow!!
A spiritual wind was blowing from somewhere, and Suho's hair was turning silver..
Queresha, who was well aware of the identity of those energies, could not help but be embarrassed..
[You… … How many monarchs have you inherited the power from?……!]
