Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 7
Ber expected.
Watch Suho's reaction to receiving 'Shadow Extraction', the Shadow Lord's true ability..
-Oh my, it's awesome!
-This incredible ability is given as a reward.?
-In the last quest, they gave stat points as a reward, but this time they gave me a rune stone to learn skills.?!
-wow! Is it okay to just spread it out like this?!
Then Ber was thinking of saying this:.
‘Kehem. So didn’t I tell you? This shadow dungeon contains everything for the Little Lord.!’
Ber twitched the corners of his mouth and spoke with an arrogant expression..
[Huh! In the first place, this level-up system is an auxiliary device for the stable growth of the Little Lord. It is an improvement on the system used by the lord in the past, to fully accept the power of the great lord within the weak human body.…….]
Suho stopped talking and opened his mouth..
“Hey, what is it? It's a summoning skill.?”
[……!]
The expression on Suho's face was one of obvious disappointment..
Ber was surprised..
What kind of ridiculous reaction is this?!
[W-what are you talking about! I can't believe you reacted like that even after receiving such tremendous power.!]
“No, but the summoning skill is…….”
Suho explained.
How is summoning skill treated among hunters these days?.
The dungeon beyond the gate was a truly bloody place..
At the slightest inclination, the claws of the demonic beasts would rip off the hunters' necks..
Underfoot and on the ceiling were full of dangerous traps..
In a place like that, no one could take responsibility for one's life..
It doesn't matter because combat hunters have strong bodies, but magic hunters' physical abilities are not much different from ordinary people..
In particular, magic hunters with summoning skills were even more vulnerable..
As all battles were entrusted to the summoned beasts, they were nothing but helpless burdens following them around..
“That's not all. It consumes a lot of magic power, it's hard to find useful summons, and even if you do, they're not as strong as you think..”
[No this-!]
Ber stamped his feet with a very angry and sad expression..
The way he had ridiculed Suho's weakened fighting ability has disappeared, and now he is even more excited..
Seeing that, Suho felt a little sorry..
“hmm. I'm sorry, but what can I do if that's reality? Well, but having the skill itself is definitely a good thing..”
[No-! Don't pretend to be so considerate and comfort me! Because this is really good?]
“uh? You seem to have changed your tone a bit.?”
[Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk.]
It was the moment when Ber's concept, which had been a historical drama throughout, collapsed..
“okay okay. Anyway, accept the reward.”
A rune stone appeared in Suho’s hand..
[Rune Stone: Shadow Extraction]
When you break a rune stone, the skill is absorbed..
Suho broke the rune stone without hesitation..
[‘Skill: Learned ‘Shadow Extraction’.]
Wow!!
At that moment, a shadow rose up from under Suho's feet, enveloped Suho's whole body, and then disappeared..
Paat!
A skill window opened before my eyes..
[Skill: Shadow Extraction Lv.1]
shadow power.
No mana required.
Extracts mana from lifeless bodies and turns them into shadow soldiers..
The probability of extraction failure increases in proportion to the target's abilities and the elapsed time of the target's death..
Number of shadows that can be extracted : 0 / 3
“……create a shadow soldier?”
After confirming the contents, Suho's eyes naturally turned to Ber..
A shadow demon whose entire body is blazing with black vapor..
[you're right.]
Ber's mouth was torn apart..
[This is the skill that makes soldiers like me. Shadow extraction is the essence of power that allowed the current Shadow Lord Seong Jin-woo to exist..]
At that moment, Suho realized.
Numerous goblin corpses surrounding him..
Black smoke was billowing from the bodies that had been killed by his own hands over the past four hours..
[This is a target for which shadow extraction is possible..]
[This is a target for which shadow extraction is possible..]
[This is a target for which shadow extraction is possible..]
Every time I looked at the black smoke, the same messages came to mind repeatedly..
‘A shadow soldier... … Is he some kind of necromancer??’
The concept of creating soldiers from corpses was similar to the necromancer commonly seen in games..
‘I don't think it's that good either.’
I saw it on the internet before.
There are many types of summoning skills..
Summoning spirits from nature and taming them.
Taming and controlling living animals.
The worst job among them was the necromancer..
‘Because there are many restrictions.’
The biggest problem was that there had to be a body..
‘Because I have to hunt down that body first like now. I can only control those who are absolutely weaker than me..’
First of all, I felt like I had to try it myself to know for sure..
“shadow extraction.”
The following message came to mind at Suho’s words:.
[Specify the command for the shadow extraction skill.]
“Do I need to specify a separate command for the skill? hmm…….”
Suho thought for a moment..
But isn't Ber next to me twisting his body around with his eyes flashing?.
[Huh. Hahaha.]
“why? I have something to say?”
When Suho looked at Ver, he looked the other way..
[Ah, hmm. no. Cough! Cool country! Cooler country, cool, cool, cool.!]
“……?”
Why are you coughing like that all of a sudden??
Suho opened his eyes softly..
I don't know what I was talking about, but I said one word without hesitation..
When it comes to commands, it would be better if they were intuitive..
“wake up.”
[Hehehehe!]
Then, Vert clenched his fists as if he had been waiting and said strangely, 'This is it!'.
and.
Something strange happened.
Kihihihi-!
Suddenly, the goblins' laughter echoed in the air..
At the same time, shadows began to wriggle from the corpses of goblins on the ground..
as if alive!
‘oh my god.’
Suho's eyes widened and he looked around..
Kihi! Cry, cluck, cluck-!
There was a constant sound of laughter like mean-spirited rascals coming from all directions, and pitch-black hands were reaching out from the shadows..
The hands touched the ground and began to crawl out of the shadows. Like devils coming back from hell alive.
[Shadow extraction was successful.]
Sigh! Wow!
[Cheruk!]
[Crying!]
3 like that.
Black goblins whose entire bodies were made of boiling black steam appeared in front of Suho..
[Shadow Goblin Lv.1]
normal grade
3The sight of Marie's shadow goblins lined up waiting for the guardian's orders.…….
“It doesn't look very strong either.?”
[…….]
By this time, Ber was also starting to notice..
Even though it was the same shadow power, the difference in level was too extreme compared to when Shadow Lord Seong Jin-woo used it..
That's because Seong Jin-woo was level 50 when he first gained the shadow power, and now Su-ho is only level 7..
Even if the skill was the same, if the player's level was low, the performance would inevitably be weak..
[Well, originally… … The soldiers who have just extracted the shadow are a little weaker than when they were alive..]
“The size is also a little smaller?”
[Yeah, that's right…….]
“Of course, the strength also weakens.?”
[very slightly?]
“Speed too…….”
[…….]
Ver muttered in a crawling voice..
[Shadow power is affected by intelligence stat and level. This is a really good skill later on... … It's an incredibly good skill... … . Ha, there's no way to explain this.…….]
“Yeah, yeah.”
Suho looked around at the shadow goblins waiting for his orders..
And I was ready to go back right away..
[No! Wasn’t the current mood one for commanding??!]
Ber is startled.
At that moment, a tremendous sound came from Suho's stomach..
Rumbling-!
“……I starved for two days.”
Suho said seriously.
Ber was completely overwhelmed by that solemn force..
[Yeah, that's right.]
Whether it was a Hunter or a Shadow Lord, it was all about making a living..
[Anyway, you can come here at any time by using the key to the Shadow Dungeon. First, take a break..]
Hearing Ber's words, Suho took out the key to the shadow dungeon and inserted it into his shadow, just like when he came in..
[Do you want to leave the shadow dungeon?] (Y/N)
“I'm leaving.”
click.
The moment I turned the key, the shadow swallowed Suho..
Wow!!
[I left the shadow dungeon.]
* * *
As soon as Suho returned to the hospital in reality, he collapsed on the bed..
Fluffy.
‘ha. It was really hard.’
Suho lies down in bed for the first time in a long time and sighs deeply..
In reality, it was only 4 hours, but it felt like 4 full days had passed..
As soon as I leveled up, all my physical strength came back, but mentally I was completely exhausted..
At that time, the hospital room door opened and people in suits came in..
“excuse me. Is this the hospital room where Seong Su-ho was hospitalized??”
‘hmm?’
Suho immediately realized who they were. Because there was only one person who would come to see him in this situation..
“It came from the Hunter Association..”
also.
People in suits came in front of Suho and bowed their heads..
“Seong Su-ho, I would like to first say thank you..”
“yes? What have I done to be thankful?……?”
Suho made a puzzled expression..
“Thanks to Suho, many people's lives were saved. On behalf of them, I thank you..”
“Well, it wasn't that big of a deal..”
“It's a great thing.”
suddenly!
‘Wow, what a surprise..’
The man who seemed to have the highest rank put a burdened face on Suho..
Then he put a warm smile on his face..
“Seong Su-ho, I am truly proud of you. A young man risking his life to save people in today's harsh world! Hehehehehe!”
“Uh, ah, no… … hey?”
I was so moved that it was very burdensome to see the big man take out a handkerchief and wipe away his tears..
“Hehehe.”
The employee next to him patted his back as if he was used to it and said..
“Team leader, stop crying and go to work now..”
“Oh, right. haha. These days, as I get older, I end up crying more. Seong Su-ho, I am Han Jae-hyuk, team leader of the Hunter Association. The purpose of our coming…….”
chuck.
Team leader Han Jae-hyuk grinned as he held out the thick horsepower meter he had brought with him..
“I'm here to measure Suho's magic power..”
There was no doubt that Suho had awakened. He was found unconscious in the Korea University Art Museum, which had turned into a field dungeon..
There were even pieces of corpses lying around that were confirmed to be demonic beasts..
“Reporters keep asking for information so they can write articles..”
Han Jae-hyuk narrowed his eyes and added,.
“Ah, yes.”
Suho obediently raises his hand over the mana meter..
Then, the magic stone embedded in the center gave off a soft light..
After waiting for a while, the measurement results came out..
“Hmm. Hoo, this…….”
Team leader Han Jae-hyuk checked the results and rubbed his chin as if it was unexpected..
However, Suho's expression did not change, as if he was not at all curious about the result..
It was natural. Because the status window in front of her was already telling her about her magical power..
“Magic power level 46. You have become an E-class awakened person..”
The employees next to me were disappointed with this result, although they did not show it..
I naturally expected that a hunter who performed like this immediately after awakening would be of a fairly high rank..
But it's only E grade.?
But Team Leader Han Jae-hyuk was different..
‘A hunter's value is not based on rank. On the contrary, if he risked his life to save people even though he was E-class, that would be even greater..’
Team leader Han Jae-hyuk smiled warmly and patted Suho’s shoulder with his thick hand..
“Seong Su-ho, I look forward to your good performance in the future..”
“Ah, yes.”
Grumbling.
After completing their errands, the association staff briefly said goodbye and left the hospital room..
Then, as if he had been waiting, Ber peeked out from Suho’s shadow..
[ruler! Now, let me explain. About the future…….]
Grumbling!
“Suho!”
Then the hospital room door opened again..
Vert sullenly went back into the shadows..
