Only I Level Up: Ragnarok - Episode 91
Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 91
Among the lower-level demons who served the demon nobles since ancient times, there were subordinates who sincerely swore loyalty to the nobles, rather than submitting to force..
They called them ‘devil servants’..
“A servant? That word?”
“huh. It's the devil I've always ridden. He's a shape-shifting demon who has the ability to transform into a horse like that if he wants..”
Esil's eyes shone sharply..
“no way… … Do you keep pretending to be a horse for fear of becoming a slave like other demons??”
“Well, I guess I'm still in the same shackled situation anyway..”
“At least they won't die while being used as expendable items like that..”
Just then, in the distance, a slave demon was whipped by the overseer and eventually died..
On the other hand, the number of horsemen pulling the cart seemed to be less than that of the devils..
Certainly, if it had been transformed into a horse, it didn't seem like it would be easy to kill it like Esil said..
Suho, who was looking around while listening to Esil's explanation, nodded and said..
“Then, let’s get closer to that horse. He can talk?”
“huh. of course. I have to ask what the situation is here..”
Suho and Esil secretly approached where Esil’s horse was..
Fortunately, the number of supervisors was not large, so it was not very difficult..
“Nukira.”
“……?!”
Esil approached the horse and whispered in a low voice, and the horse recognized Esil and opened its eyes..
Then he hurriedly looked around and opened his mouth towards Esil..
“Esil! You're alive! I heard that he passed away a long time ago.……!”
Suddenly, tears welled up in Nukira's eyes, and she looked like she was about to burst into tears at any moment..
However, I was afraid that if I stopped pulling the cart, I would attract the attention of the supervisor, so I continued to pull the cart at the same speed as before and talked to Esil..
Because of the situation, the words had to be urgent..
“Esil! It's dangerous to stay here! Why did you come back here?!”
“Nukira, what the hell is going on here??”
“that is…….”
Nukira looked around once again and answered in a quick tone..
“After all the nobles died, it wasn't long before another demon took over this place..”
“Another demon? Not a noble, but a devil?”
“yes. According to rumors, it is a demon that grew in strength by devouring demons that died in the Monarch War..”
“They ate demons who died in war... … . Are you a defeated soldier who ran away during the war??”
“Most likely it is.”
rattle!
Just then, the cart pulled by Nukira stopped..
“Esil, please hide somewhere for now. The supervisor will be here soon..”
At those words, Suho and Esil quickly hid in a dark place..
Then, a huge demonic overseer approached and glanced at the ores Nukira had brought, then nodded..
“Empty the cart and go back..”
“Ki hee hee.”
The sound of a horse flowing from Nukira's mouth..
Then he tilted the cart with his back foot, spilling the ore on the floor, and started going back the way he came..
As the supervisor walked away again, Nukira's eyes turned to Esil, who was hiding in the distance..
“……Eshil, you need to run away from here quickly. If the tyrant's ears find out that there are surviving demon nobles, something really dangerous will happen..”
“Right. Where is that tyrant??”
At Suho’s question, Nukira’s eyes turned to Suho..
As if he didn't care at all about what he said so far, this person was ready to go find the tyrant at any moment..
“who are you…….”
Esil asked Nukira, who hesitated, one more time..
“The inspector is coming again. Answer quickly first.”
“Yes, Esil. yes. He doesn't appear in this workyard. Since other demons may betray him at any time, he usually stays in his own place and only occasionally appears in the Colosseum..”
Since ancient times, the Colosseum has been a playground for demons who enjoy blood and battles..
But now it has simply become a place to publicly execute demons who disobey the tyrant's orders..
“The tyrant continues to grow stronger by eating the dead in the Colosseum. They only show up when the appetizing guys show up in the Colosseum..”
It's the Colosseum.
Suho’s eyes sparkled..
It was then.
The supervisor was coming this way again..
“Nukira, I'm working for now. Let's talk again later.”
“Mr. Essil…….”
Nukira's eyes were filled with anxiety as she looked out of the corner of her eye at Esil's back disappearing into the darkness..
* * *
Esil looked at the situation and said to Suho..
“It's not just the supervisor who needs to worry. If even the slave demons find out, there will be a big uproar..”
It was okay because Eshil was a devil..
The problem was Suho.
“If humans are discovered hiding in the demon world, all the demons we see could attack us at once. Suho, you have to pretend to be the devil as much as possible first... … huh?”
When I turned to the side, Suho was already taking off his top like the other slaves..
Then, the solid muscles are revealed..
In particular, due to Ammut's harsh training these days, Suho's body was developed to the limit, with his muscles being torn and destroyed repeatedly..
Suho stored the clothes he took off in his inventory and then put on some rags that were lying nearby..
Anyway, among the demons, there were quite a few races that resembled humans, like Esil, so the external conditions were somewhat similar..
But an important question remained.
“Weak demons won't notice at this level, but the problem is Magi. Those with good sense will quickly notice that there is no evil spirit in you..”
“How about like this?”
Suho raised ‘Volkan’s horn’ at Esil’s words..
Thanks to hunting a lot of demons a while ago, Volkan's horn has currently absorbed more than 40 demon souls..
Volkan's horn itself was a devil's horn, but it was also filled with devilish energy..
Esil, who realized what Suho wanted now, had no choice but to hesitate..
“Please don't tell me to go in again?”
“It's not like you shouldn't stand out anyway.?”
“that… … yes.”
If Esil transformed into a spirit and inhabited Volkan's horn, he could change the size of the sword as much as he wanted..
The fact that you can make it big also means that you can make it small..
“If you make it small and hide it on your body, you won't think that the devil's energy is coming from you.?”
“……Yeah, whatever. That would be the cleanest way..”
In the end, Esil could only sigh and nod..
In fact, the act of Eshil, a demon noble, entering the horns of a demon lower than himself was quite an act of pride..
But not once or twice, now we've come too far to talk about pride.
When Esil finally nodded, Suho suddenly asked one more question..
“Oh, then maybe. You can change not only the size but also the shape?”
“form? which……?”
“for example…….”
Suho smiled meaningfully..
Ber previously said that the demon named Volkan was enormous..
No wonder the horns are so huge.
However, the bodies of demons capable of spiritual embodiment can freely change their size and shape, and while they were being refined into weapons, Vulcan's horns were compressed to their current size..
That means.
‘Maybe something like this is possible?’
[Volkan's horn feasts on demon souls.]
Wow…….
As Esil seeped into Volkan's horn like a ghost, Volkan's horn began to gradually change in size and shape..
OK…….
“I thought it would work too.”
Before he knew it, Volkan's horns had turned into 'like real devil's horns' and were sticking to Suho's head..
[You've been wandering around here and there these days, and now you're thinking about putting devil horns on your head..]
Esil's sighing voice came into Suho's head as if he really couldn't stop him..
“If you're going to imitate the devil anyway, let's do it right..”
Suho grins and touches his own horn..
Seeing the figure who had now turned into a devil in name and reality, Ver made a pouty face and gave a thumbs up..
[It's really amazing! As expected, our small lord……!]
[Now that you know, just use the pickaxe like everyone else. Don't get whipped by the supervisor for fooling around for no reason..]
* * *
pounding!
‘I suddenly became a mine slave..’
Suho purchased a pickaxe from a store window and was naturally mixing in among the slaves to work with the pickaxe..
Anyway, my strength stat was high and I had experience as a miner, so using a pickaxe wasn't difficult at all..
‘Daily quests are much harder.’
pound pound pound pound!
But an unexpected problem arose..
Because Suho was so good at using the pickaxe, other slave demons began to glance at him more and more..
“Who is that one-horned devil so powerful??”
“He uses a pickaxe once to make it brutal..”
Even though Suho was trembling, in the eyes of other slaves, even that was an incredible speed..
While the demons were whispering, Ver sneakily appeared and spoke to Suho..
[Little Lord, it's nice that you've disguised yourself well, but shouldn't we find the Colosseum first??]
“wait. I'm thinking about it now.”
[It seems like you're working too hard with the pickaxe for something you're worried about.…….]
In fact, Su-ho was so good at using the pickaxe that the slaves ended up completing their daily quota much faster than usual..
“Wow……!”
“Okay, it's over.!”
“Now I can finally rest!”
“It's all thanks to you!”
Thanks to Suho's great performance(?), the slave demons who were freed from endless labor burst into cheers around him..
In response to the loud commotion, the supervisor who was far away approached us with long strides and made a threat..
“These again! Not working and being lazy... … Hmm? what is this?”
“Director, we've met our quota.!”
“Can I take a break now??”
The slave demons proudly showed the ore that Suho had mined to the supervisor..
However, perhaps because he did not like that arrogant behavior, the supervisor's expression became grim..
“How dare these insolent bastards! Are you taking a break from work already? I could have done this normally, but I've been lazy all this time! From now on, dig up this much more.!”
“That, like that……!”
“Is that so unreasonable?……!”
“Did you just force it?!”
bang!
“Wow!”
A slave who was protesting unfairly was kicked by the overseer and sent flying into the wall..
Then the slave demons became distraught and scattered again, carrying pickaxes and shovels..
Suho also quietly moved among them and tried to escape the supervisor's sight..
But then.
“There's a single horn. You guys stop.”
Suddenly the supervisor called Suho and stopped him..
When I looked back, I saw the supervisor glaring at Suho, the main culprit of this situation, with a disapproving gaze..
‘Could it be that I was discovered to be human??’
[no. Rather than that, he just looks offended that the slaves dared to ask him to rest first because of you. Basically, these half-baked guys are more authoritative. furthermore…….]
Before Esil finished speaking, the supervisor looked Suho up and down and showed his teeth with a vicious expression..
“As I watched, I saw that he used quite a bit of force. I will send you specially to the Colosseum.”
Hehehe!
It was not Su-ho who was shocked by the overseer's words, but the slaves nearby..
“No, no matter how you give a reward, it will not be enough, so such a harsh……!”
But from the beginning, the supervisor was the law here..
“Follow me.”
The supervisor who pointed to Suho immediately turned around and walked away somewhere..
Suho started following behind without saying a word..
At that time, Ver made a fuss in a voice that only Suho could hear..
[oh my god! Did you really have this big picture in mind from the beginning? Indeed, he had an outstanding talent for drawing since he was young.!]
“…….”
