Solo Leveling- Ragnarok

Chapter 147:

Gurgling!

A thunderous roar resounded in the sky, and the huge old man's hand shattered like shards of glass and collapsed.

Along with that, the distorted and distorted landscape of the village also stopped in that state.

The villains who witnessed the wondrous sight opened their mouths with eyes filled with astonishment.

"W-what is that guy..." ...!"

"How could that old man's skills be so easily...!"

But that was the time when everyone was confused and didn't know what to do.

"Everyone come to your senses!"

"...!"

Suddenly, a fierce roar came from behind them.

"With that level of skill, my mana would have been completely depleted with just one hit! "We can all just attack together now instead of jumping around!"

"...!"

The villains came to their senses at Hwang Dong-seok's words.

It really made sense.

It was an immutable principle that the more powerful a skill was, the more magical power it required.

Even if it was a B-class or even an A-class, if it had that level of skill, it would have squeezed out all the magical power it had.

The evil light returned to the villains' eyes again.

"Yes, yes! let's go!"

"There is only one guy anyway!"

"Aaaah!"

As the villains each raised all their magic power at once, the momentum soared through the sky because there were so many of them.

"Yeah, guys! "Don't forget that we've already eaten high-grade stardust!"

Hwang Dong-seok's exciting shout further ignited their morale.

chuck!

Just then, Gray, carrying Suho, landed on the twisted space.

The villains' all-out attack rained down on that place.

"Kill me!"

"Crunch!"

Gray bit off the arm of the leading villain with his strong teeth and struck him.

Boom!

"Ahh!"

Its body flew backwards faster than the speed at which it was running.

'Stardust?'

Su-ho's eyes twitched after hearing Hwang Dong-seok's words encouraging his subordinates.

At that time, Verga shouted, glaring at the sky where the old man's hand disappeared.

[Little Lord, his presence has disappeared!]

"okay. "I think he ran away."

Suho nodded, recalling the sensation of the moment his fist touched.

And above all, if you had just killed him with a single blow, a system message would have appeared.

It was clear that he was still alive.

"You couldn't have run that far."

[I think so too.]

Ver said, looking around the village with narrowed eyes and seeing the strangely distorted space.

[If you ran far away, there is no way this genjutsu would still be in effect like this. He is definitely hiding nearby, waiting for an opportunity.]

Ber also explained the temperament of the guys he had experienced during the Monarch War.

[In essence, the people of Hwan-gye are cowardly and conniving people. To put it bluntly, during the War of the Lords, even Yogmund, the king of demons and the lord of the world of illusions, did nothing but hide behind other monarchs and use illusions or open gates.]

Anyway, just like during the war, dealing with the Demon Spirits was extremely annoying and inconvenient.

Suho asked Ber, who clicked his tongue as he recalled that time.

"So, how did you break their genjutsu, father?"

[Of course...It's power.]

Ber grinned at that question and looked at the black energy covered in Suho's fist.

[No matter what tricks they used to get in your way, you tore them all down with absolute power and faith.]

bang!

Suho clashed his fists together and smiled, showing his teeth.

"I like it because it's simple."

And his eyes turned to the numerous villains coming towards him.

This was my first time fighting against the same people, and against so many people.

Not all of them were made of scraps.

It was an incredible force with B-class and A-class mixed in as well.

Thanks to Kang Tae-sik, who uses stealth skills, as a shadow soldier, he did well in the early fights, but his daggers were difficult to penetrate the defense of B-class or higher tanks in the first place.

On the surface, it is an absolutely unfavorable situation.

But why?

'I don't think we'll ever lose.'

Outnumbered?

As long as he had the ability to use the dead as soldiers, being outnumbered was no problem for him.

But I'll skip that for now because the Demon Spirits are still watching this from somewhere.

'Because they may be in collusion with Itarim.'

then?

Suho looked down at his own shadow and opened his mouth.

"Esil, come out for a moment."

Shwaaaaagh!

From the shadow of the guardian, the demon noble Esil appeared.

"...Where are we again? "You want me to fight like hell?"

Esil looked at the group of vicious humans coming at him from all directions and made a bewildered expression.

But even for a moment.

She slowly raised the corners of her mouth and stretched out her hand to the side with a belligerent look in her eyes.

"I like this."

Sigh-

A long spear appeared in Esil's hand.

Demons are a fighting people who have been in constant struggle since the moment they were born.

To the demon noble who stands at the top, battle is more valuable than conversation.

"Can I kill them all?"

I didn't hear an answer.

Before that, the tip of Esil's spear pierced their hearts.

"Crunch!"

As if Gray wasn't going to lose, he jumped forward, exposed his vicious fangs, and started biting the guys' limbs.

Suho also pulled out Volkan's horns with both hands and showed his teeth brightly.

"Okay, let's make some trouble."

Despite this, the overwhelming numerical inferiority still remained.

But really... ....

'I don't think we'll lose.'

[Use 'Skill: Storm Slash'.]

Wow!

A storm of blades from Suho's twin swords struck the villains.

'My skills are more useful when enemies are gathered together.'

When Suho breaks down the enemy's formation with a wide range of skills.

Gray boldly entered the enemy lines and used his large size to knock out the enemies' souls by headbutting his body or slapping his front feet.

In this way, Esil played the role of a spearman who pierced the hearts of the confused enemies one by one on the battlefield that Gray had ravaged.

Their appearance reminded me of a balanced attack force.

Then, suddenly, Eshil tilted his head.

"what? "Why do they cut their own throats?"

Push shot.

Okay.

Wow. Grumble.

There was also an invisible shadow soldier who had been killing the enemies' lives while hiding himself without stopping even for a moment.

"..."You got an interesting guy, right?"

Esil brandished his spear with a truly happy expression and shouted at Suho.

"Suho! These guys, they have a lot of numbers, but they are all ragtag! "They're brats who don't even know how to use their power properly!"

At that moment, Suho had just realized that fact.

After experiencing the movements of the villains in Jisan Prison who are currently fighting, I found that they had very little combat experience, regardless of their magic level or skills.

And it seemed like the villains fighting Suho and his group were feeling this very reality.

"Ha, surrender!"

"Please save me!"

At that moment, those who had run out of magical energy raised their hands and began to surrender.

There were people who fell flat on the spot, crying and begging for help.

'...'Look at this?'

Suho, who read the atmosphere, realized a strange fact.

chin.

Suddenly, Suho's steps stopped on the spot.

And he shouted fiercely at the villains everywhere.

"Everyone kneel!"

[Use 'Skill: Living'.]

...!

Of course, there were people who could overcome this fate.

But what about this?

Suho shouted again, exuding tremendous lethality.

"Look to the side! "Your captain escaped!"

"...!"

"..."Wow, that furry b*stard ended up?!"

The villains were embarrassed.

* * *

Meanwhile.

"Huff!"

After Hwang Dong-seok pushed all of his men forward, he himself turned his back and ran away in the opposite direction without hesitation.

'You idiots! 'Is that going to work!'

Inside, he laughs at the foolishness of his subordinates who were easily fooled by his instigation.

'Anyway, this is why people without actual combat experience have no clue.'

Jisan Prison is known in the world as a notorious prison that houses the most vicious criminals, but when Hwang Dong-seok, who lived there as a king, thought, all that was nonsense.

what? Villain?

The worst superhuman criminals of all time?

'F*ck. 'It's all ridiculous.'

Actually, they are villains, but how many of them have actually fought someone properly with their abilities?

'There are a lot of people who were caught by that b*stard Woo Jin-cheol before they could even use their strength properly.'

In any case, Woo Jin-cheol was a born b*stard.

I don't know how they knew, but whenever the villains tried to commit a crime in earnest, they would appear on the scene like ghosts and catch them in an instant.

With S-class Choi Jong-in at the forefront.

Fortunately, his younger brother Hwang Dong-su was able to escape because he was in the S class. Jisan Prison was where most of the helpless prisoners who were caught without any real resistance were gathered.

Because of this, the villains at Jisan Prison were severely lacking in actual combat experience as people with special abilities.

Not only did he not know how to utilize his own abilities properly, but he also failed to develop the ability to estimate the abilities of his opponents.

So, unless you're an S-class hunter like Choi Jong-in, wouldn't you all have been deceived by your own nonsense that you can win by simply pushing the envelope?

'Stupid b*stards! Well, thanks to that, I've been able to use it well so far.'

But that too is over now.

'More than 50 people have already died.'

They brought as many as 500 people, but one-tenth of their strength was reduced overnight.

If we thought positively, there were still 9/10ths left, but in reality, that wasn't the case.

Last night, 6/10 of the 500 people, that is, about 300 people, rebelled against him and left.

In the end, there were only about 200 people who followed him, and another 50 of them were lost. Even at this moment, I am still dying.

'Now there are only 150 people left, and if this continues, they will all die today.'

It was very painful.

Actually, it was something that would happen someday.

In the end, it was thanks to his younger brother, Hwang Dong-su, that he was able to rise to prominence in Jisan Prison.

And the reason why he was able to escape by uniting the hearts of 500 prisoners was also the same.

In order to escape from Jisan Prison, he lied to all the villains there.

-If we break out of prison, my brother will come for us sooner or later!

-Oh oh! So, are we going to become subordinates of an S-class villain?

-Of course, b*stards!

S-class villain Hwang Dong-su will become their ally.

Hwang Dong-seok's lies moved the hearts of all the villains in Jisan Prison, and everyone participated in the prison escape.

but.

'There's no way that b*stard would come to save me.'

Even though it had been two days since the tumultuous prison escape, Hwang Dong-su never came to Pocheon.

Then, one by one, anxiety began to sprout among the villains.

I trusted Hwang Dong-soo and made things grow like this, but there is no sign of him coming... ...Gradually, trust in Hwang Dong-seok began to disappear.

The fact that Hwang Dong-seok's criminal record before becoming a villain was that he was a fraudster also played a role.

And then finally last night.

In the future, a group of people decided to take individual action instead of following Hwang Dong-seok, and Hwang Dong-seok had no reason to stop them.

No, there was no power.

Hwang Dong-seok, who was not worthy of his younger brother's name, was at best a C-level villain.

'But it doesn't matter.'

Hwang Dong-seok smiled meaningfully and opened the door to the hiding place where the 'old man' was.

"Inspiration! I'm in big trouble... ...omg!"

At that moment, my body froze.

Wow!

It wasn't just the old man in there.

Countless bees were gathering and taking the shape of a woman.
