Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 36
[Protection: Rakan’s Protection]
The protection of the King of Beasts, the Fang Lord.
The Fang Lord Rakan has chosen you as his Shaman.
A priest can inhabit his own body with the spirit of a wild beast.
-Effect ‘Strength’: Infuses your body with ‘Pet: Gray’.
‘Priest? Spirit?’
Rakan smiled contentedly and spoke to Suho, who was looking at the information window that appeared in front of him with a puzzled look.
[Kuuuuu. Yes. You have now become the priest of our clan. Since I am already dead, you have become the priest who serves Gray, the only royal family.]
‘You want me to serve Gray?’
Suho made a dumbfounded expression.
Gray was his pet.
A priest who serves his pet as a king? What a strange situation this is.
‘Is it something like a cat butler? When I think about it that way, it starts to make sense… … .’
Suho nodded, somewhat convinced.
In any case, gaining new abilities was a welcome development.
And ultimately, Rakan’s goal was to dream of Suho more often.
To do that, Suho needed to stay with Gray a little longer, but the problem was that Gray was too weak and young to be of any use right now.
But what if you use the priest’s ability, ‘Spirit’?
[Using that ability will allow you to borrow the power of a beast for a short time. As Gray grows, the power he can borrow will also become stronger.]
‘Are you saying this in a roundabout way, asking me to raise Gray well in the future?’
[Well, that’s it.]
Suho and Rakan looked at each other and snickered at the same time.
That guy, Suho, was so amazing.
‘I heard he died from his father, but he’s cooler than I thought.’
[What are you talking about now? It’s only natural for a weak beast to be eaten by a stronger one.]
Rakan chuckled as he recalled that time.
[Your father was terribly strong, and I was so scared that I struggled and eventually got eaten. That’s all that happened.]
Survival of the fittest.
The king of beasts who reigned at the top of the ecosystem even accepted his own death.
[Oh no. My time is already up.]
Suddenly, Rakan looked up at the sky and licked his lips in regret.
Before I knew it, this world, once filled with pure white, was gradually becoming covered in black shadows.
A terrible sense of futility was creeping in.
As the space to move became smaller and smaller, Rakan’s body also became smaller and smaller.
Then, in the end, Rakan, who had returned to the large man he had shown at the beginning, approached Suho and handed him something.
[Now, take this and get out of here. This is my death and rest, so go back and live your life.]
The ‘Fang of Lakan’ was held in Suho’s hand.
‘But why only one?’
[I combined the two. Those fangs were pulled out when he was very young, so they were too shabby to be considered a king’s relic. Now that I’ve combined them, they should be somewhat more useful.]
Swaaaah.
At that time, a black shadow completely engulfed the world.
The corners of Rakan’s lips, revealed through the gap in the shadows, smiled and said their final goodbye.
[See you later, Priest.]
Time, which had stopped, began to move again.
* * *
“……ah.”
The scenery changed again in an instant.
Suho was still standing, stepping on Arachne’s corpse.
What happened just now felt like a dream.
However, evidence that proved that the meeting with the Fang Lord was not a dream remained in Suho’s hands.
Clearly, the two fangs of Rakan that he was holding in both hands had become one, transformed into a slightly stronger and sharper form.
And above all, the ability values have changed beyond comparison to before.
[Item: Rakan’s Fang]
Difficulty to acquire: ??
Type: Sword
Attack power +60
A sword made from the fangs of Rakan, the king of beasts.
Since it contains the spirit of Lakan, if someone of lower rank holds it, their body may be taken away.
-Effect ‘Contempt for the Weak’: Causes the designated opponent to be in a state of fear for 1 minute. (All abilities -50%)
-Effect ‘Critical Wound’: Deals 3x or more critical damage with a 20% chance.
‘They said they combined the two into one, but the abilities were also inflated.’
The attack power, which was +30, was changed to +60, and the critical hit effect was increased from 15% to 20%, and from 2x to 3x.
[Your Majesty?]
Berga, who had just approached, tilted his head as he looked around at Suho.
[Your mood suddenly changed a little.]
-You, have you met the spirit of the king? I sense the power of a priest from you.
The fang of Lakan that was in my hand spoke to me.

“that’s right.”
[Keeeeeek! You met the Fang Lord? Uh, how?]
Ber is startled by Suho’s answer.
It was absolutely impossible to meet the spirit of the monarch who had fallen into eternal rest.
That was something that even the Shadow Lord Seong Jin-woo, who had transcended death, could not do.
Suho said, looking at Rakan’s fangs.
“You are the fang I originally had.”
-That’s right. I ate the holy relics that were here.
Is it because I became a priest?
I could tell who he was just by hearing his voice.
‘Should I go back soon?’
Suho suddenly looked around.
For now, most of the hunters who had been tied up in spider webs and controlled appeared to be unharmed.
But they were all sitting on the floor with blank expressions, looking this way.
‘He is the king.’
‘That hunter has obtained the power of the king.’
They all witnessed the sight of Suho slaying Arachne.
Even the sight of the holy relic being pulled out directly from within the body.
But no one dared approach Suho.
It was because of the pressure of the situation.
And the guardian who achieved his goal didn’t pay any attention to them at all.
When I turned my head again, there the shadow jackals were sitting upright on the ground, having killed all the small spiders.
However, as if Ber had ordered it, there was a pile of magic stones extracted from the bodies of dead spiders in front of the guys’ neatly gathered feet.
Praise, praise, praise, praise.
Praise, praise, praise, praise.
The hunting dogs that had brought their prey were looking at something with sparkling eyes.
“Yeah, yeah. Thanks for your hard work.”
[Heh heh heh heh!]
The shadow jackals stuck out their tongues and smiled brightly like sunflowers at Suho’s reluctant praise.
They were truly treacherous men.
When did you first try to bite my neck with those teeth?
“Then let’s go back.”
[Deposit.]
Suho left the botanical garden without hesitation.
The hunters who had been blankly watching his back let out a sigh of relief the moment Suho’s figure completely disappeared from their sight.
“Whoa… … .”
“Yes, I survived.”
There was a reason why the hunters were tense and couldn’t even breathe properly the whole time.
Even if they were tied up in spider webs and controlled, they were all the people who attacked Suho. And it was at the moment when Suho was most in danger.
If they had wanted to take revenge on him, they were too exhausted to do anything about it.
However, Suho only defeated the giant spider Arachne and leisurely disappeared.
Someone spoke first.
“So that guy just got the power of the king?”
“I guess so.”
“Wow, I’m really jealous. What kind of amazing skills must he have acquired?”
“Is that the problem now? Let’s just be thankful that you saved our lives.”
The hunters, who finally realized that they were alive, breathed a sigh of relief once again.
Then suddenly something occurred to me.
“But who was that hunter in the end?”
“Yeah. I couldn’t see your face because you were wearing a weird mask.”
“It was really dark. It looked like he was leading a few animals. Are they summoners or something?”
“Nonsense. What kind of summoner in the world fights so roughly? Didn’t you see him kill a spider with his bare fists earlier? He must have just trained a few hunting dogs.”
All the hunters gathered here had beast transformation skills.
Among them, there were quite a few who were friendly with animals, so I didn’t pay much attention to the shadow jackals.
In addition, because it was so dark here, the shadow jackals’ appearances were only visible as silhouettes.
“Then why did you hide your identity?”
“Yeah. Are you a criminal or something?”
Of course, Suho, the person involved, had no intention of hiding his identity. It was an item he had worn in the first place because it was dark inside the botanical garden, and he took it off as soon as he left.
But because of this, the hunters became even more suspicious of Suho’s true identity.
Then suddenly.
“……uh?”
Someone looking around tilted their head.
“Where have all the spiders gone?!”
The corpse of the giant spider that had been lying horribly dead in the darkness had disappeared without a trace.
Even the corpses of small spiders.
“Were they the kind of people whose bodies completely melt when they die?”
The hunters who were thinking of taking the demon’s corpse with them sighed deeply.
Today I worked really hard and was completely wasted.
[Hehe.]
Somewhere, Bertha was laughing.
* * *
At that time, outside the botanical garden.
“What, what is it!”
“The smell suddenly disappeared?”
The hunters who were wandering through the jungle to become the king simultaneously sniffed their noses with puzzled expressions.
The smell that stimulated their instincts and guided the king’s path completely disappeared.
“ah.”
At the same time they realized.
‘The king has been chosen!’
The player was stolen by someone else.
When they realized that fact, extreme despair and jealousy simultaneously welled up in their hearts.
“Phew… … .”
Hunters are greatly discouraged.
The hunters of the Baekho Guild asked Baek Miho, who was watching the scene from high above.
“Vice President, what will you do now? Will you go back?”
“Before I go back, I want to see with my own eyes who will be king.”
“But in this vast place, there is no way to know who that person is… … .”
“I can tell that much by smell. The smell of a strong animal is instinctive… … .”
Hmm.
At that moment, something was captured by Baek Mi-ho’s superhuman sense of smell.
I turned my head to check, and the man I had seen earlier was coming back the way he had come.
But unlike before, his body smelled strongly of blood.
Sniff sniff?
‘… … It doesn’t smell like human blood. The color is like that too.’
Baek Mi-ho’s sense of smell could distinguish between the smell of demonic and human blood.
The smell coming from that man’s body was the devil’s blood.
‘huh?’
Then, Baek Mi-ho suddenly noticed something strange and tilted her head.
‘But was there a demon in this forest?’
You fought a bleeding demon in a forest full of plants and ghosts?
‘If we go deeper, how many are there? Or, could it be that the author is the king’s… . . . ‘
At that moment, Suho felt someone’s gaze and turned his head to look this way.
And then his eyes met with Baek Mi-ho’s, who was looking at him from afar.
For a moment, their gazes met in midair.
‘… … No. It’s different.’
Baek Mi-ho, who was staring intently into Su-ho’s eyes with her superhuman eyesight, stopped her speculations.
This place was, after all, a place to elect the ‘King of Beasts’.
But there was no beastly smell from that man.
Baek Mi-ho eventually took her eyes off Su-ho.
“Let’s wait a little longer… ….”
“Yes, Vice President.”
After that, the Baekho Guild stood guard there for quite a long time.
It continued until Suho got on the bus, arrived home, took a shower, and even ordered chicken to eat.
‘… … But why did that woman end up looking at me?’
While eating the chicken leg, Suho suddenly remembered the face of Baek Miho, whose eyes had met his earlier.
‘I’ve seen you somewhere. Was he a famous hunter?’
I turned on the Internet to see if it would come up if I searched.
And then his eyes opened wide.
“What, what is this?!”
The internet was abuzz with articles about Magok Field.
The problem, however, is that the main character of all these issues is Suho himself.
-(Hot News) Beast King Crow!
-Crow, the unidentified hunter who gained the power of the king!
-Why does Crow wear a crow mask?
-(Advertisement) This year’s hot item, the crow mask
-(Related search terms) Heumseujjin
“Hey, Beast King Crow? Are you out of breath?”
He had all sorts of embarrassing nicknames attached to him.
“No, it’s not like I’m having second-year puberty… … .”
Suho covers his face in shame.
As if waiting for that sight, a single message line appeared.
[The King of Beasts, the Fang Monarch, chuckles, saying that it is a perfect nickname for a priest.]
