Only I Level Up: Ragnarok - Episode 78
Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 78
Suho has been extracting and using a variety of shadow soldiers..
There were many useful soldiers among them, but unfortunately, they were only mercenaries for a day..
Just this time it's like that.
When a swarm of black bees swarmed from the sky, if the 'grave spider Arachne' had been present, she would have immediately spread her web and tied up the bees in an instant..
However, Arachne had already returned to nothingness a long time ago, and this time, Suho had to deal with all those random mobs one by one..
There was something that Ver once said to Suho..
[Only a monarch can lead a legion..]
Although Su-ho inherited the shadow power thanks to having a good father, that does not mean that Su-ho himself is a shadow lord..
As with all monarchs, in order to become a monarch, the current monarch must die first to create a vacancy..
However, in reality, Shadow Lord Seong Jin-woo was already an immortal being, so in the end, Suho could not be the Shadow Lord forever..
But then Ber clearly said.
-The Little Lord does not yet have the authority to maintain an army..
‘'Not yet'.
And that very moment finally came to Suho..
[Skill: Shadow Save Lv.1]
shadow power.
No mana cost.
Shadow soldiers are absorbed and stored in the caster's shadow..
Stored soldiers can be summoned or reabsorbed at any time the caster wants..
Number of saved shadows : 0 / 1
“……oh my god.”
Suho’s eyes widened as he checked the skill window..
Above his head, Ber flew round and round, shedding tears of joy..
[Kieeeeek! I couldn't be more thrilled! My lord has finally allowed you to have a private army.!]
“It's a private soldier…….”
Suho nodded and muttered..
“In the end, there was a level limit..”
Level is ultimately an indicator that allows the system to easily recognize the level of protection..
If this power were given to someone of low rank, he would have been consumed by the energy of death and reduced to a shadow soldier..
Storing the soldier of death in one's shadow is the same as saying that death is always following one's feet..
Anyway, now that I finally have the authority to have my own private army..
What was important to Suho was ultimately numbers..
[Number of saved shadows : 0 / 1]
“Just one…….”
Suho burst out laughing..
This is also probably due to the low level..
“Since we're at a small level right now, you're saying we should increase the number one by one..”
Anyway, this number will be affected by the intelligence stat just like the shadow extraction skill..
Suho suddenly remembered the times when he was young, sitting next to his father and playing games..
At that time, my father would often nag me, asking, ‘Can you fall asleep at that level?’.
‘For some reason, even when playing the same game, he levels up very quickly. Leveling up was your main job..’
[But who are you planning on saving as your first soldier??]
Suho, who came out of his thoughts at Ver's question, smiled and answered..
“What are you asking? Even though I already knew.”
Of course he's the one who's been having the most trouble lately..
Suho placed one of Lee Min-seong’s arms, which he brought with him, on the floor..
[This is a target for which shadow extraction is possible..]
Shadow extraction is possible even with only part of a corpse..
Because the corpse is just a medium anyway..
A black energy was already creeping from Lee Min-seong’s arm..
AA AA AA-!
An ominous sound was echoing in the shadows..
Lee Min-seong was crying, asking to be taken out of this hell..
The force was so vicious that it was scary..
‘okay. If you want it that much, I'll take it out for you..’
Suho himself stretched out his hand towards him..
“wake up.”
As soon as the guardian gave the command, the black shadow began to stir..
[Try to extract shadows.]
[Attempting to extract…….]
Wow!
Lee Min-seong's face stretched out from the shadows and opened his mouth fiercely..
however.
ting!
A notification appeared with the sound of metal snapping..
[Shadow extraction failed.]
[2There are one more chance left.]
‘Is it a failure?.’
Suho’s eyes narrowed..
I expected failure to some extent, so I wasn't too embarrassed..
When shadow extraction occurs, the probability of extraction failure increases in proportion to the target's abilities..
In reality, Lee Min-seong was an A-class hunter with much more magical power than Su-ho, and he didn't even win the fight alone in the first place..
‘So that means he's the one I want more..’
Suho remembered.
Lee Min-seong, the strongest lancer evolved by queen bee Arsha with great effort..
Still, just the thought of being able to have that arrogant brat, who had escaped from the queen bee for his own desires, as his soldier made my heart swell..
‘There are two chances left…….’
Suho took a deep breath and calmly attempted a second extraction..
“wake up.”
ting!
[Shadow extraction failed.]
[1There are one more chance left.]
“…….”
It's dizzying.
I expected it, but I couldn't help but feel nervous as I only had one chance left..
Wow!!
In fact, Lee Min-seong was struggling to escape from the black smoke at this very moment..
‘Do you want to come out too?.’
I felt his heart..
Suho’s eyes became serious..
‘You were definitely jealous of my shadow lancers.’
He expressed base jealousy when he saw the lancers who did not die even if they died when fighting him..
-Why didn't the queen bee give me this regenerative ability? Could it be that you were afraid that I would become too strong?!
But he was sorely mistaken..
In the first place, that power was not something the queen bee could give..
‘come to me I will make you the strongest lancer.’
Suho's eyes sparkled with strong will..
“wake up!”
That moment.
Wow-!
Lee Min-seong roared and came out of the black smoke..
Then, the black smoke that followed began to weave together, creating an unfinished body..
[Shadow extraction was successful.]
“done!”
Suho burst into cheers..
However, it did not seem to be a complete resurrection..
[A strong desire brought out the deceased's will to fight..]
[However, the dead person's abilities are too high compared to the caster's, so the shadow soldier's power is weakened..]
[Shadow level starts at 2.]
‘Weakened to level 2?’
Suho made a puzzled expression..
What level was it originally?.
[?? Lv.2]
knight rank
chuck.
Soon, a lancer made of black vapor knelt in front of Guardian and bowed his head majestically..
[Greetings to my master.]
“uh? You're talking too?”
[kiek?]
Suho and Ber's eyes widened at the same time..
The other Shadow Lancers could not speak, but this one alone had the ability to speak..
“Is it because he is of knight rank??”
[Oh no. To be able to speak, you have to be at least a general... … . No, it's not really like that.?]
Ber also looked embarrassed..
[Umm. Maybe this is because Little Lord has been playing with shadow soldiers since he was a baby.…….]
In the end, I could only speculate about the influence of talent and early education..
ring.
[Names can be given to soldiers of knight rank or higher..]
[The name you give will remain in effect until the shadow disappears..]
[Please name the soldier.]
Suho thought for a moment about the question about the system message..
‘It's a name…….’
I didn't want to use the name Lee Min-seong because it was so infamous..
‘okay. Because Lee Min-seong wanted to follow in Quresha’s footsteps.…….’
“Quay.”
[‘Do you want to use 'Quay'??]
“okay.”
As soon as Suho finished speaking, a new name was engraved in place of the question mark above the guy's head..
[Quay Lv.2]
knight rank
[thank you for the good name.]
Lee Min-seong, newly born under the name Quay, smiled faintly and stood up..
When he was alive, he had long, spear-like stings on both of his hands instead of hands, but now that he was reborn, only one side had the stingers and the other side had a normal hand..
‘Is it because I only had one arm cut off?.’
As I was looking at Quay, Ver came up and mocked Lee Min-seong..
[Kehehe. It's pitiful. A guy who was so strong was only a level 2 knight..]
But Quay just snorted at Ber’s provocation..
[under. This is ridiculous. How dare you think you have the right to laugh at me??]
[Ugh.]
It was Ver who flinched after being hit in the head..
[Ber Lv.1]
soldier rank
For reference, the current rating of Mini Ver was far below..
[This is not my real self.!]
[That's the same for me too. The important thing is the present?]
[what! A distant successor dares to talk back?!]
[What about the successor? On the topic of soldiers.]
[……!]
Ber is genuinely crying and Quay is looking at him with his arms crossed indifferently..
In the midst of a bloody war of nerves between the two, Suho said something..
“Quay.”
[Yes, master. Did you call me?.]
“Fuck your head.”
[ancient?!]
Quay's eyes widen in surprise at those words..
But the body had already obeyed the command, lying down and burying its head..
[Lord, my lord! why me……!]
“Ber is like an uncle who raised me on his back. If you mess around, you'll get scolded.?”
[cow. army. main. Niimm-! Hehehe!]
It was Ver who flew down and clung to Suho's head, shedding tears of emotion..
At the same time, he glanced at Quay from the corner of his eye and started giggling..
[Now I see that you were level 2 because you were the 2nd person.!]
[Ugh.]
As if those words had offended him, Quay's face crumpled as he hit his head on the floor..
[……We'll see, you bastard..]
It seemed like the war of nerves between the two would continue in the future..
* * *
[Hmm. He seems like a pretty useful soldier. Where did they catch this guy??]
Ammut, who was watching what Suho was doing, was looking at Quay with an interested expression..
Suho told him everything that happened today, and Ammut burst into laughter after hearing the story..
[There's still a long way to go. Are you saying we had a hard time because of just a few bugs??]
“There were only a few of them? Even my teacher would have had a hard time?”
[That sounds funny. Even if hundreds of millions of those bugs come all at once, they can't do any harm to me..]
It wasn't an exaggeration.
Ammut's thick skin is like a full body of armor made of steel..
With that strong defense, he would have ignored all attacks, walked towards the captain, and trampled him..
“I have something more curious than that..”
[what?]
Suho remembered himself during the last battle that took place today..
“It would be quicker to show it in person. Look at this.”
Ugh!
[‘Skill: Uses ‘rigid body technique’.]
Suho raised his sword and performed Gangchejutsu..
Then, the black energy flowed out through the arms and wrists and pulled out the sword energy from the blade..
Ammut's eyes lit up when he saw that..
[Hoo? It's pretty good. Expanding strong body techniques to weapons?!]
“Ah, this was originally possible.?”
[Of course I can. But Tarnak couldn't do it..]
“It's something that even the monarch of a strong body couldn't do.?”
Suho opened his eyes wide and asked back at the unexpected answer..
Ammut smiled meaningfully and looked at Suho intently..
[Yes. Since he was a goblin from birth, all he could do was strengthen his body. In fact, he was strong enough on his own. but you are different.]
Suho was not a goblin or anything, but the son of a shadow lord..
[If the starting point is different, the result is bound to be different. I'm curious too. What kind of monster will you turn into when you master the art of magic?!]
Gooooooo!
At that moment, Ammut's body became increasingly larger and began to form as a spirit..
[So, now that we're done with our errands, let's start training.!]
“Now, wait! I'm not ready yet……!”
A heavy gravitational field pressed down on Suho..
The health, or rather, daily quest that is harder than fighting Queresha has begun..
