Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 94
That night.
“……I killed three guys in a row.?”
Through the silence of everyone sleeping, an old voice reached Suho's ears..
Suho, who was sitting in prison, turned his head that way..
An old man, no, a shabby old devil.
He was still lying with his back turned in the darkness far away..
As Suho stared at him in silence, a moment later a voice came out from him, clicking his tongue..
“Cluck cluck. Sometimes, there are demons like you that are suited to light blood poison. But you will end up regretting that you ignored my warning and ate the food..”
Just as the old devil said, Su-ho killed three light-blooded demons sent out by the devil guards in a row..
The audience was literally filled with excitement at the amazing sight..
For the oppressed slaves, the sight of a seemingly weak demon executing demons much stronger than themselves was extremely cathartic..
But the situation was by no means the picture the demonic guards had hoped for..
The picture the guards wanted from the beginning was one where the strong brutally kill the weak, play with them, and then eat them..
By doing so, the absolute truth of ‘obeying the strong’ was clearly imprinted in the minds of the slaves..
However, what Suho showed was completely the opposite..
“……Still, it's a good thing I didn't eat the glowing demons..”
The old devil's words to Suho continued..
As he said, at the execution ceremony, Su-ho killed the guys but did not eat their bodies..
After hunting the same demons as before, demons become stronger by consuming the magical energy dissolved in their blood..
But Suho wasn't a devil, so he had no reason to suck their blood..
Apart from the fact that Volkan's horn devoured their souls..
The devil guards, who could not understand this reason, ended up stopping Su-ho's execution ceremony when things did not go as they had hoped..
If we continued as is, only the precious light-blooded demons would die in vain..
“It's only natural for devils to eat devils. But you should never drink the blood of demons poisoned with light blood poison..”
“……What is the reason??”
Suho’s mouth finally opened..
“This is because the more you eat Gwanghyeolma, the more Gwanghyeolpoison accumulates in your body. The strength will become stronger, but the pain will also increase..”
“I didn't ask that..”
What Suho was curious about was something else..
“Why are you saying these things to me??”
“……I told everything to the other guys too. They just didn't hear me..”
It was natural..
In any case, light blood poison amplifies your strength even though it is painful..
Telling me not to take the blood poison before the execution ceremony was just telling me to die obediently..
And that was why the other demons here mocked and criticized this old demon..
“If you become a Glorious Demon, the only end you will end up with is a miserable and painful death..”
“Are you talking like you are now??”
Cough.
Instead of answering, the old devil vomited black blood..
[The King of Bugs, the Lord of Plague, eyes the blood of a demon completely poisoned by light blood poison..]
“……At first, I ate whatever I was given. He went to the execution ceremony, won countless battles, and drank the blood of countless corpses to become stronger. Then I ended up watching it. The words of the madblooded demons who survived like me and whose madblood poison reached their bone marrow..”
The old devil coughed for a while longer and then laughed..
“The tyrant king waits for the moment when we are at our most delicious and then eats us. That's the most efficient.”
After realizing that fact, the old devil began fasting..
Even if he won the execution ceremony, he never ate the corpse of the loser..
The moment the concentration of light blood poison increases in your body, you will be eaten by the tyrant king..
“This Colosseum is a fish farm and food warehouse for a tyrant king. Hehehe.”
[Now I understand why that old man is so dry..]
Eshil muttered..
[Suho, I think the food you ate today was your last meal here. From now on, if you are hungry, you will have to kill and eat the other person in an execution ceremony..]
“It's truly devilish. I hate things like this.”
Suho shook his head and asked the old devil something he was curious about during the conversation..
“Rather than that, Mr. Where does the tyrant king usually hide??”
“behind? Clack. That's such an accurate expression that I'm scared someone will hear it. Surely young people these days are full of blood..”
At those words, the old devil turned for the first time and turned his head to Suho..
And he looked directly into Suho's eyes with wide eyes and whispered in a low tone..
“No one knows where the tyrant king lives. He's a fucking coward..”
“coward?”
“Hehehe. okay. The Tyrant King is the absolute ruler of this place, but he is also the most delicious prey. Even a country like this can instantly become stronger the moment it eats its corpse..”
As he spoke those words, the old devil's eyes sparkled with intense greed..
licking.
No matter how unlikely the future may be, the sight of him licking his lips with his snake-like tongue was truly devilish, as if it was fun just to imagine it..
[I'm telling you in advance.]
Suddenly Eshil spoke to Suho..
[This kind of sire-mongering, where people eat and eat each other, only happens to weak demons. Don't make the mistake of thinking that even noble demon nobles like me would do that.?]
‘I didn't ask?’
[No, is it real? You have often seen me eating. We don't eat the corpse ourselves in a superficial way. Absorbing bloodstone is much cleaner and more efficient..]
‘bloodstone?’
Those words suddenly reminded Suho of a mid-level demon he had hunted before entering the demon world..
‘Now that I think about it, you said that that guy amplified his strength by eating bloodstone, right? What exactly is bloodstone??’
[It is a highly concentrated crystal of the magic power contained in the devil's blood. Sometimes nobles with shallow tastes eat demons themselves, but noble nobles like our family of Radir eat bloodstone..]
‘Isn't that what it is??’
[No, completely different! Is it possible to collect just a little bloodstone without having to kill the opponent? If you became a noble and ate all the demons under your command, who would want to serve us??]
‘Oh, that's right.’
Esil was afraid that Suho would look at him in a negative light, so he tried hard to defend himself..
[So, here we are right now, a guy who is not even a noble is raising and preying on his fellow countrymen in order to imitate a noble. Not only is this inefficient, but it only reduces the number of demons..]
While listening to Esil talking intently, Suho briefly summarized what he had to do in his head..
“So in the end, if I'm going to catch the tyrant king, I have to look as delicious as possible..”
“What now? Did you say you were going to catch the tyrant king now? Puhahaha! Is there such a crazy person?!”
Suho's words were so absurd that the old devil burst into laughter..
At the sound of loud laughter, the other demons who were sleeping also woke up one by one and began to lose their temper..
“Ah-oh! What's so loud??”
“Why did this old man become so senile at night?!”
The quiet prison suddenly became filled with profanity..
But the old devil's laughter would not stop..
In any case, the demons here were locked in solitary confinement for fear of harming each other, so there was no way to silence him..
In that noisy atmosphere, Suho looked straight into the eyes of the old devil who was laughing at him from a distance and opened his mouth..
“Sir, can I ask you one more thing??”
“Hehehe! Oh, yes! What are you so curious about?!”
“What should I do to make it look delicious to the tyrant king??”
“Puhahahahaha!”
At those words, not only the old man but also the other demons burst into laughter this time..
“What is that crazy guy saying now??!”
“what? I want to look delicious to the tyrant king.?”
“This time, a truly crazy person has come in! Hahaha!”
What Suho did at today's execution ceremony has already spread widely among the demons of the Colosseum..
However, since most of them were locked up in prison, no one actually witnessed the scene..
It is said that Su-ho killed three light-blooded demons in one day, but the demons imprisoned here are all prisoners who survived by eating countless light-blooded demons..
In their eyes, Suho was still just a mayfly..
“I guess you were lucky enough to survive today.!”
“The shenanigans have reached a peak!”
“You want to attract the attention of a tyrant king? Do you want to catch his eye and become his subordinate?!”
“That's so simple!”
“Eat and eat again! During the execution ceremony, they will eat us endlessly, and even your brain will be thoroughly poisoned with blood poison.!”
“Then the Tyrant King himself will appear before you.!”
“aha.”
Suho regretted it for a moment..
If I had known they would be this kind, I would have asked them sooner..
“……Hey, if it was something like this, I wouldn’t have eaten it today for no reason..”
There was someone somewhere freaked out by the words Suho muttered..
[The king of bugs, the lord of plague, is astonished at your ferocity..]
[The king of beasts, the canine lord, chuckles, saying that the world is all about the might of the jungle..]
“Then where…….”
Crackling.
He slowly rotated his wrists and smiled meaningfully..
“Let’s take a proper mukbang shot.?”
* * *
Suho’s mukbang started the next day..
“Yesterday was the first day, so I only sent the weak ones..”
“But today will be different.”
The evil guards smiled evilly as they sent Su-ho off to the execution ceremony..
“You will regret not coming down and eating those corpses yesterday..”
“that's right. I regretted it so much all night.”
“……what?”
“So, starting today, I’m going to eat it..”
The guards looked puzzled at Suho’s unexpected response..
“On the topic of one horn…….”
“Showing useless bluff.”
“That also ends today.”
The guards, who firmly believed that Su-ho had already been poisoned by the blood poison, believed that Su-ho would have become weaker today as he had exerted strength yesterday..
It was obvious.
The more magical power is used, the more the blood poison burns the devil's blood..
In the first place, wasn't the reason why Esil's strength has become so much weaker these days compared to when he was a demon nobleman because he had his blood sucked by countless demons?.
“……In that sense.”
Suho grinned as he looked up at the executioner who looked even worse than yesterday..
And then he shot forward like a cannonball and rammed his hand into the body of the opposing demon..
Took bang!
The devil's body was thrown to the ground by the tremendous force..
“Eat without hesitation this time and gain strength, Esil..”
[It's nice to hear it.]
At those words, the demon noble residing in Volkan's horn's eyes lit up..
Jwaaaaaak!
At that moment, black energy began to be sucked out through Suho's hand, which was trapped in the devil's body..
Then, the energy gathered into a small dot and floated in the air like a bead..
“Now, wait a minute!”
“What is that??”
The audience was shocked when they witnessed the strange sight..
“Nonsense! That can't be right……!”
“bloodstone?!”
Even the demon guards were wide-eyed and shocked..
much more than yesterday.
It was natural for them to be surprised..
Extracting bloodstone from an opponent's body before killing him/her.
The only being capable of such a thing is……!
“ears, nobility?!”
“He is a devil noble.!”
“Holy crazy! Could it be that there were nobles still alive??!”
Shwaaaaagh!
At that moment, the bloodstones floating in the air flowed into Volkan's horn..
To be exact, into the mouth of the real evil nobleman hiding inside..
“The one-horned man was a demon nobleman.?!”
