Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 248
Jiiiiiing-
Breath of destruction.
The hellish karma boiling from the dragon’s heart poured out in a straight line along Kamish’s wrath.
Wow!
The overwhelming heat surging out takes my breath away.
If it had been a sword made of ordinary materials, it would not have been able to withstand this firepower and even the handle would have melted.
However, the dagger made from the dragon’s teeth, Kamish’s Wrath, had a very good synergy with Breath of Destruction.
If the dragon’s teeth couldn’t withstand the breath of destruction in the first place, then their teeth wouldn’t have remained intact every time they breathed.
Maybe the same goes for Nidhogg.
But while Nidhogg’s bones and teeth might have withstood the breath of destruction, his fragile palate was not immune.
Kookwakwakwakwakwakwakwa!
The breath of destruction melted the roof of Nidhogg’s mouth, swallowing up Suho and Eshil, and tore a hole straight through his skull.
Krrrrrrrr!
But maybe it’s because it has seven heads.
Nidhogg did not die just because a small hole was pierced through his skull.
Rather, he put more strength into his jaw to chew on Suho and Eshil.
Kkwaduk!
‘Ugh!’
As a result, Essil’s leg, which was supporting the roof of the palace instead of the guardian, could not bear the weight and eventually broke.
But Eshil didn’t even scream.
Rather, the moment my leg broke, I gritted my teeth, bent my remaining leg that wasn’t broken, and supported the roof of my mouth with my back.
‘It’s still… …okay, so keep going!’
Eshil used both arms and back to support the roof of his mouth and shouted at Suho’s back.
Kookwakwakwakwakwakwa!
At the sound of Eshil’s scream from behind, veins stood out on the back of Suho’s hand, which held Kamish’s anger.
‘Just a little more! Just a little more!’
Sweat runs down Suho’s forehead as he continues to emit rays of destruction and cuts off the snake’s head little by little.
This uncontrollable, enormously powerful beam of destruction consumes a tremendous amount of mana just to maintain.
The power was so great that the recoil was also great.
Even turning sideways like this is not an easy task.
but.
It is rewarding.
As the Guardian’s destruction beam moved sideways, the hole in the bastard’s head also grew wider.
‘Just like this, cut it off… …!’
Kiyaaaaaaa!
‘……ah!’
Done!
Eventually, Nidhogg, who had half of his neck cut off, opened his mouth wide and screamed in pain.
At the same time, Essil was also freed from the pressure that made her feel like her whole body was falling apart.
Only then was I able to raise my head and look ahead.
… … !
It’s broken!
Beyond the abyss melted by the karma of hell, there was a large hole!
It’s so big that you can see the entire shape of the World Tree!
But beyond that hole came a bigger crisis.
Wow! Wow!
Kyaaaaaaaah!
Nidhogg’s other six heads, feeling the pain, began to show interest in this direction one by one!
At that moment, an enormous amount of murderous intent was focused on Suho and Eshil.
And through the hole blasted by the breath of destruction, the eyes of the beasts and the guardian met in the air.
[The serpent that gnaws at the World Tree, Nidhogg, watches you.]
Creepy.
As six pairs of eyes turned towards him at the same time, Suho felt his body stiffen for a moment.
Even though we only made eye contact, I felt an enormous amount of pressure and my whole body was tingling.
[‘Effect: Fear’ is activated.]
[All player abilities are reduced by 50% for 1 minute.]
‘……under.’
Suho, who met those gazes right in front of his eyes, burst out laughing out of embarrassment.
The Breath of Destruction was cut off due to the temporary effect of lowering ability levels.
My mana supply was already cut in half, and now it’s cut in half again.
Even if I used the Breath of Destruction again here, I wouldn’t have enough magical power to deal with all six remaining heads.
[Potions and shops cannot be used in the current location, and status will not be restored even if the level increases.]
Even the use of potions is restricted because I was dragged in with the ‘Unknown’ skill.
Wow! Wow!
Then again, Nidhogg’s six heads roared at the guardian in unison.
At that moment, those who were more worried about Suho than anyone else appeared.
The dead monarchs.

Whioooo!
[The King of the Yetis, the Lord of the Cold, causes a blizzard to obscure Nidhogg’s vision.]
Damn it!
A bitterly cold blizzard swept in, and Nidhogg’s mouth, which had been melting from the intense heat, was now frozen by the cold.
[The King of Bugs, the Lord of Plagues, attempts to poison Nidhogg but fails.]
[The King of Bugs, the Lord of Plagues, attempts to poison Nidhogg but fails.]
… … .
[The King of Beasts, the Fang Lord, urges you to run away quickly during this gap!]
But at that time.
‘Guardian… … .’
Eshil, who had come close to Suho, spoke to him with difficulty.
Even with each of his limbs broken, he crawled on the ground with great difficulty to get here.
‘Do, run away… … .’
You have to get out of here right now.
He wanted to say that, but Eshil’s teeth were chattering so much that he couldn’t even finish his words.
Even Suho was like this, but the fear that Eshil was feeling right now was indescribable.
But the survival instinct engraved in Essil’s soul was making the most rational, yet most inefficient choice at this moment.
‘This, this… … .’
Eshil’s trembling hand held something out towards Suho.
Rustle.
‘… … What is this?’
Suho opened his eyes wide after confirming the identity.
‘The leaves of the world tree’
The branch of the World Tree that Essil had barely managed to reach with his fingertips as he fell earlier, and a small leaf hanging from the end of it was now in Essil’s palm!
Tiring.
[You have acquired ‘Item: World Tree Leaf’.]
Eshil, with trembling hands, held the leaf tightly in Suho’s hand.
Eshil’s two eyes, trembling with fear, looked straight into Suho’s eyes and opened her mouth.
‘Hey, eat this.’
‘… … !’
Even at this very moment.
Essil’s instinct was not to protect, but to whisper that she should eat this leaf.
It was tempting to say that if you eat this leaf, you can evolve into a stronger demon like Volcan.
but.
Essil knew herself well.
‘I am weak.’
Just this one leaf.
How much stronger can you become by just eating this one thing?
It’s not like the Volcano eats all the leaves hanging from the branches.
No, let alone getting stronger, would it be possible to even escape from here in the first place?
but.
It would be different if it was Suho.
‘You, eat.’
Essil had no doubts.
It would be different if Suho ate it instead of himself.
‘You too, run away.’
I don’t know how much this will help, but I hope it will at least help Suho escape from here on his own.
Hug.
With that in mind, Eshil placed a small leaf from the World Tree into Suho’s hand.
Okay then.
Tiring!
A miracle happened.
The moment he touched the leaf of the World Tree, an information window appeared before Suho’s eyes.
[Item: World Tree Leaf]
Difficulty to acquire: ??
Type: Material
A leaf plucked from a branch of the World Tree.
The leaves of the World Tree have strong vitality and are used as ingredients for the highest quality magic potions.
It is the main ingredient of potions.
‘Potion ingredients?!’
Suho’s eyes widened.
Is it a coincidence that I found the ingredients used to make potions in this place where neither the shop window nor the potions can be used?
no.
Looking at Essil’s current appearance, no one would dare say that he was lucky.
Crunch!
Suho put a leaf of the World Tree into his mouth without hesitation and chewed it.
Then something amazing happened.
Whioooooo-
A blue energy enveloped Suho’s entire body.
The sensation of fresh air entering and leaving the lungs.
It was a familiar feeling for Suho, something he experienced every day.
Tiring!
[All status abnormalities are recovered.]
Ah, you said it was a potion ingredient.
Beyond the fact that my depleted stamina and mana were completely refilled, I began to think that perhaps the rewards for the daily quests created by Candiaru were themselves systems based on the leaves of this world tree.
This is the proof.
[The effect of ‘Candial’s Blessing: Longevity’ is temporarily strengthened.]
[Resists ‘Debuff: Fear’.]
Nidhogg’s body, heavy with murderous intent, became lighter.
At that moment, Suho realized what he had to do.
‘The power of the ruler!’
Pot! Pot! Pot! Pot! Pot!
Suho boldly stepped into the air and flew up.
Kwaaaaah!
Then, Nidhogg’s six heads opened their mouths towards the guardian, emitting a more ferocious murderous aura than ever before.
It was the moment when those who had been blankly staring at Suho until now began to become full-fledged enemies of him.
[Nidhogg, the serpent that gnaws at the World Tree, is wary of the ruler’s power.]
[Nidhogg, the serpent that devours the World Tree, is your enemy.]
Crunch! Crunch! Kwaaah!
Suho turned around in the air, narrowly avoiding the bites of those trying to bite him.
In the aftermath, the branches of the World Tree that the bastards were hanging on to broke off and fell down, unable to withstand their struggles.
That’s exactly what Suho wanted.
‘Come!’
Suho blasted Kamish’s wrath at the World Tree’s branches that were falling down with a thud.
Wheeeeeeeeeek-
In fact, it was expressed as a ‘branch’, but it is only from the perspective of the world tree.
To Suho, each and every one of them was huge.
So, what Suho was aiming for wasn’t the eggplant.
The numerous ‘leaves’ sprouting on that branch.
Chomp chomp chomp chomp chomp!
Kamish’s rage tore through the air.
Then, all the leaves cut off from the World Tree flew towards Suho.
Because of the ruler’s power.
Crunch!
Suho quickly chewed on another leaf.
[All status abnormalities are recovered.]
This time too, the same thing.
My stamina and mana were recharged, almost as if I had leveled up.
However, there was a major problem.
[The King of the Dragons, the Lord of Doom, urges Nidhogg to look at his wounds.]
As Antares said, eating the leaves of the World Tree was not only permitted to the guardians.
Wagjak!
Whack! Whack!
Before he knew it, one of Nidhogg’s heads had chewed and swallowed a nearby World Tree branch whole.
Then, on the other side of the head, the wound on the other head where Suho had cut off half of the neck earlier, began to heal quickly.
‘They say it’s a snake that eats the world tree, is that what it means?’
Before the wound could completely heal, Suho shouted at the Essil still remaining inside it.
‘Eshil! Open your mouth!’
… … ?!
Shararararak-
Then, like a spring breeze, the leaves of the World Tree swept towards Eshil.
Essil, who was prepared to die, opened her mouth in surprise at the sight of countless leaves flying towards her.
Suho chuckled at that stupid expression and said.
‘I paid off my debt.’
The kindness you receive will be repaid a thousandfold.
Before the bastard’s wounds could fully heal, all the leaves managed to reach Essil.
Shwaak-
The wound healed perfectly, and Eshil disappeared from sight.
But Suho wasn’t worried.
‘Come back stronger, Eshil.’
… … Bulging!
It didn’t take long.
Suddenly, Nidhogg’s head, which was holding Essil in its mouth, swelled.
and.
Damn it!
The thing just exploded with a huge noise.
But there was no blood or flesh in that explosion.
It was just… … dark.
[The ‘Darkness of the Beginning’ is inherited by a new monarch.]
Whioooooooo-
Darkness is creeping in.
Beyond the darkness, Eshil’s two eyes were briefly visible, shining brightly.
[Nidhogg, the serpent that devours the World Tree, retreats.]
Nidhogg’s six heads retreated hurriedly.
Like a lizard cutting off its tail and running away, without hesitation, it gave up one of its heads to return to the darkness.
The darkness originally came from Baran, the king of demons and the Lord of the White Flame, but now a new master had appeared.
Swish!
The center of swirling darkness.
Esil Ladir, who had absorbed the darkness of the beginning, was floating in the air with her head fluttering.
Looking at Suho with more mature and serious eyes than usual.
However, the new master’s name that the darkness of the beginning recognized was a little different from that of the Demon King Baran.
[The King of Demons, the Lord of Gluttony, is born.]
‘The Lord of Gluttony?’
I guess it means to eat roughly.
Before he could even finish that thought, Suho and Eshil’s spirits were thrown out of the afterlife sea.
Shwaak-
… … Waaaaaah!
Suddenly the sound of demons’ shouts is heard.
Before they knew it, Suho and Eshil had returned to reality.
Just like the scene where Eshil receives the ‘Item: Baran’s Horn’ from Suho with both hands.
But Eshil was not flustered and just knelt down on one knee.
“… … Thank you, my lord.”
Eshil humbled himself and bowed his head in the most profound manner to the priest who had made him king.
[The King of Demons, the Lord of Gluttony, swears allegiance to you.]
[The King of Demons, the Lord of Gluttony, bestows upon you the ‘Protection of Gluttony.’]
[Protection: Protection of Gluttony]
The protection of the King of Demons, the Lord of Gluttony.
Esil Ladir, the Lord of Gluttony, swears allegiance to you.
You will be able to absorb and digest the nutrients of the world more efficiently in the future.
-Effect ‘Gluttony’: Experience gained in the future increases by 300%.
