Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 157
Day after day, the Internet was in an uproar again.
-Breaking News) Case closed!
“The Great Escape from Jisan Prison.”
-Breaking News) 500 Villains Completely Sweeped Away! Republic of Korea Becomes Safe!
-In-depth coverage) Asking the Baekho Guild.
“Who is the hunter who wiped out the villains?”
-Interview) Vice President Baek Mi-ho, “He is a hero.” Controversy over remarks.
The reactions of people who saw the news that started to spread on the Internet were hotter than ever.
-Wow;;;;; This is seriously awesome; It wasn’t the Baekho Guild that caught the villains??
-What does this mean? If not the White Tiger Guild, then who else caught all those villains?
– Is it difficult to read? Someone else solved the case, and the Baekho Guild only handled the aftermath.
-No, so who is that??
-Anyway, it’s just one person.
-ㅋㅋㅋ This is really awesome. Anyway, you’re saying that one hunter killed 500 villains?
-ㄷㄷ At this point, isn’t that hunter also a villain?
-You’re really a murderer.
Here, people’s reactions were largely divided into two.
It was obviously a good thing that the villains of Jisan Prison were eliminated, and the person who solved it was a hero who deserved to be praised.
But the problem was that the number of villains he killed was too many.
– A person who massacred 500 perfectly healthy people in one day doesn’t seem normal.
-At least a murderer.
-Isn’t it okay since I killed villains, not people?
-Ah~ The villain isn’t even human?
-??: Villains have human rights too! Ugh.
-Fact 1) All the human rights groups that said such things are dead now.
-Fact 2) They were also killed by the villains they had secretly hidden.
-Related link) “I killed him because he was the same.”
-Related link) “Who dares to protect whom? These incompetent people.”
… … There was once a time when there were many groups that raised their voices in defense of the human rights of villains.
However, due to the various incidents and accidents caused by the villains after that, the atmosphere now mostly accepts the Hunter Association’s claim that ‘villains are defined as humanoid demons.’
still…….
There was a law called degree.
– Statement of opinion) Still, killing all 500 people is a bit harsh. If the hunter was that strong, there could have been a way to send him back to prison alive.
– Haha, you kidnapped the saint in the corner of the room. What if he escapes again? Are you going to catch him again?
-No!! So who the hell are you?? Why won’t you reveal your identity? He’s a hero!
-Tsk tsk In this kind of atmosphere, would you reveal it if it were you? It’s not enough to honor him as a national hero, but the national character is driving him into being a murderer ㅋㅋㅋ
-Besides, Hwang Dong-seok died this time too. He must be desperately hiding his identity because he’s afraid Hwang Dong-su will come looking for revenge.
-ㅋㅋHwang Dong-soo is scary.
Towering.
“… … .”
Late at night.
S-class villain Hwang Dong-soo was reading internet news one by one in his hideout when he suddenly stopped.
Beyond that was a list of villains who had died this time.
-C-class villain Hwang Dong-seok (deceased)
“……her.”
The corners of his mouth, which had been tightly shut the whole time, forcibly twitched, revealing his pure white teeth.
The news was so absurd that I burst out laughing.
“My brother is really dead?”
Hwang Dong-seok was my older brother who broke up with me two years ago.
He was also a mean older brother who suddenly woke up on his own, called himself a useless person who had not awakened, and mercilessly abandoned him and left.
So, even when he later awakened as an S-class, he didn’t even think about going there first and trying to get back to how things were before.
But that doesn’t mean I wanted to hear the news of my brother’s death in this way.
“… … I thought he was just sitting there quietly in prison, but he suddenly escaped and was caught and killed after three days? And by one person?”
When I heard that my brother had escaped from prison, I didn’t really feel like helping him.
I figured he was so clever that he would figure out how to hide himself, so I ignored him.
But if my brother had died, it would be different.
Shouldn’t you at least get revenge as a younger brother?
‘… … But I have no idea who did it.’
I searched all the related articles, but the Baekho Guild was keeping ‘his’ identity completely hidden.
As someone said in the comments earlier, it was clear that Hwang Dong-soo was concerned about revenge.
but.
“There are no eternal secrets in this day and age.”
Hwang Dong-su bared his teeth and raised his huge body from the bed.
The thick gold necklace hanging around her neck clinked.
Hwaak-
As he opened the bedroom door and walked out, the lobby of a magnificent mansion unfolded before him.
At one time, this was the secret villa of a corrupt politician and the third hideout of Hwang Dong-soo, who took control after killing him.

Hwang Dong-soo passed through the empty lobby and went out of the building, making a phone call to someone.
It was connected right away.
-Yes, Mr. Hwang Dong-su. Why are you contacting me?
A business-like tone of voice came from the other end of the phone.
Hwang Dong-su asked directly.
“I want information.”
-Do you want any information about Hwang Dong-seok’s death?
Hwang Dong-su smiled faintly at the reply that came as if he had been waiting for it.
“You’re good at business. Yes, I want to know who killed my brother. I’ll give you as much money as you want.”
-Money is fine. But if it’s okay with you, could you help us with something this time?
“work?”
-Yes. I have a slightly troublesome request.
At those words, Hwang Dong-su frowned.
“You know very well that I am being pursued by the association, right?”
-Yes. Of course, I understand Mr. Hwang Dong-soo’s position. That’s why we chose a rural area where we would never be noticed, rather than an urban area for the work we wanted to do.
“… … Tsk.”
Hwang Dong-soo clicked his tongue with a displeased expression at the businesslike tone of the other person who immediately poured out a prepared comment as if he had been waiting for him to contact him.
‘Anyway, I’m telling you, they’re clever guys.’
Of course, thanks to that, he is still living comfortably without being caught by the association.
-Of course, this is something that Hwang Dong-soo can solve in an instant. If you take care of the work, I will pass on the information you want right away.
“Okay, then tell me where it is.”
-It’s Yangpyeong. It’s not too far from where you are now.

[Enter the Shadow Dungeon.]
The next day, Suho returned home, had breakfast, and went straight into the Shadow Dungeon.
The internet was in an uproar over the Jisan Prison incident, but the daily life of Suho, the person involved, had not changed at all.
This was all thanks to the Baekho Guild hiding information about Suho as much as possible.
Of course, there were more than a few hunters from the White Tiger Guild who witnessed Suho directly, so it was impossible to hide that information forever.
No matter what public opinion may be, Suho’s true identity will eventually become widely known to the public.
But at least it was possible to delay the timing a little and release it whenever Suho wanted.
[Your Majesty, Grid is strong. If you want to take Grid as a shadow soldier, you must become strong as well.]
“I told you, I got it. That’s why I came here to train so hard.”
Hwang Dong-soo, who was once his father’s shadow soldier, ‘Grid’.
Either we meet him and fight him directly someday, or the White Tiger Guild finds him first and kills him.
In order to successfully extract him as a shadow soldier again, the guardian’s own abilities were the most important.
[Skill: Shadow Extraction Lv.2]
Shadow power.
No need for mana.
Extracts mana from dead bodies and turns them into shadow soldiers.
The chance of extraction failure increases in proportion to the target’s ability and the time elapsed since the target’s death.
-Level 2 effect ‘Shape Transformation’: You can change the shape of a shadow soldier at will.
[Number of extractable shadows: 50/50]
‘There is a chance of failure with the Shadow Extraction skill.’
Suho recalled his thrilling experience in Egypt when he had failed twice while trying to extract the ‘poisonous sand centipede’.
At that time, the fox was not at a level that Suho could kill alone, so the extraction almost failed.
‘There are a total of 3 extraction opportunities. In order to successfully extract an S-class Awakened Person during those 3 opportunities, you must become much stronger than you are now.’
So, Suho entered the pyramid of Ammit today to become stronger.
As always, the daily quest is to practice the art of bodybuilding.
But when I actually arrived there, I found a desperate mummy(?) who had been forgotten by everyone and was continuing her lonely training alone.
“Geuu …
[Hahaha! That’s it! Keep running! Even if your leg bones are dusted! Even if your spine is shattered! You can still run!]
“… … .”
A mummy running through the labyrinth inside the pyramid under the terrifying laughter of Ammit.
No, Im Do-gyun.
Currently, his entire body is wrapped in ‘Item: Mummy’s Bandage’ and he is being trained by Ammit.
No, it was called training, but in reality it was torture.
Of course, Suho also repeated a set routine every day under the name of daily quests.
But even though the number of times was the same, the intensity was different each time.
As the guardian’s ability level increased, Ammit increased the intensity of the training by adjusting the gravity field accordingly.
So, Suho also received training while enduring severe pain every time.
But even so, Suho was the son of the Shadow Lord, Seong Jinwoo.
There’s even a level-up system, so its potential is indescribable.
But what about Im Do-gyun?
He was just an ordinary E-class hunter.
It was said that he was the weakest of the Hunters, with physical abilities and recovery abilities only slightly better than those of an average person.
But he had one special talent.
It was the ‘running skill’.
[You don’t need push-ups! Just run and run until you’re almost dead! No, if you stop walking, you’ll really die by my hands!]
“Eek… … .”
As he felt Ammit’s sincere murderous intent right behind him, Im Do-gyun’s face quickly turned pale.
The limits of human existence have long since been surpassed.
Even though he was half-corpse, his limbs tattered, Im Do-gyun kept running and running.
But still, he managed to not die.
The mummy bandages wrapped around his entire body were an evil, or rather useful, item that forcibly fixed his broken body in place even when his bones were broken and his muscles and ligaments were torn.
“I don’t think it was originally meant to be written like that… … .”
[What are you talking about! This bandage is a masterpiece of Candiaru that was originally made to be used like this!]
Ammit laughed heartily at Suho’s muttering.
[You know what? I like it when small creatures like that struggle to become stronger. Usually, they die doing that. But!]
And he looked with great satisfaction at the sight of Im Do-gyun, who continued to run around inside the pyramid even though he was in a near-death state.
[If you somehow survive that pain, that is strength.]
“… … .”
Suho couldn’t help but nod at the resonance he felt in those words.
No matter what anyone says, Im Do-gyun was continuing the grueling training of his own free will.
As a result, his leg muscles were swollen to the point of bursting.
Without the leveling system or the help of a status screen.
He was just running.
With one thought in mind: to become stronger.
[So, let’s start the daily quest.]
Nod.
Soon, Suho’s training began.
and.
[Hmm.]
Behind them, the newly recruited shadow soldier Harmakan was looking around the pyramid with shining eyes.
[Could this be the Great Sorcerer Candiaru’s… …?]
