Solo Leveling- Ragnarok

Chapter 178:

[phew. I feel reassured at this level.]

"...."

Suho was dumbfounded when he saw Arsha looking refreshed after completing the nest.

"Is this a nest or a safe?"

[If you think that a dragon is born from this egg, this is actually not enough.]

Arsha still felt uneasy about Kamish's eggs.

[The dragon race is already an apex predator from the moment it is born from an egg. In particular, red dragon hatchlings breathe fire from their mouths from the moment they are born. Suho is human, so you may not know, but the dragon race...]

[what are you talking about! Our Solord has been flying in the sky since he was a baby!]

[....]

Arsha had no choice but to keep her mouth shut at Ber's angry words.

When she thought about it, Suho here wasn't normal either.

No, in some ways, she could be said to be the most sinister being among these.

'under. 'How did I end up living in such an ugly place?'

Arsha chewed her lip and let out a sigh of relief at this harsh environment she had been thrown into.

Suho asked Arsha.

"But do you know anything about the dragon race?"

[Collecting information is my specialty.]

Clearly, her ability to create numerous clones was specialized for information gathering.

In fact, aren't her worker bees traveling around the country looking for villains at this very moment?

"Then do you know how to hatch dragon eggs?"

[I heard that the dragons periodically shower their eggs with magic to hatch them.]

"Baptism of magic? "What is that?"

[To put it simply, it means continuously infusing magical power. Umm. Now that I think about it... this egg is too small to be called a dragon egg. Perhaps because her parents died young and she was unable to receive the baptism of magic, she was unable to grow up normally.]

Arsha's guess was very accurate.

Kamish's egg was the smallest among the eggs found by Cha Hae-in in the tomb of the dragons.

Suho's expression hardened slightly at those words.

"Does that mean this egg might not hatch?"

[I'm not sure what's exact.]

"hmm. "It's a baptism of magical power..."

After hearing Arsha's explanation, Suho was lost in thought for a moment.

"Then shouldn't anyone other than the parents be able to imbue the egg with magic?"

[Nothing is certain, but wouldn't it definitely be helpful?]

"Then I guess I can too."

[yes?]

Suho grinned and placed his palm on the surface of Kamish's egg in the nest.

Then, he slowly began to raise the magic power within his body and push it into the egg little by little.

Seaaaaaa.

[oh my god. How can humans be like this....]

Arsha was once again impressed by her delicate magic control ability.

Considering that Suho was human, this was truly an incredible ability.

For demon beasts, using magic power is as natural as breathing, but humans have only been using magic power for two years.

However, Suho became even more awakened...

[Khem. Our Solord was already a prodigy since he was a newborn. He took his first steps with the power of a ruler....]

[....]

It was Ver who had been patting his shoulder next to me earlier.

Since she was very familiar with Ber's outstretched arms, Arsha tried not to look at Ber and expressed her concern to Suho.

[Suho, I think you can do it that way. However, no matter how much you do, the effect will be minimal.]

"Why is that?"

Suho asked as he continued to pour his magic into Kamish's egg.

[The Balaur are a race of people with innate magical power. This is because the egg continues to receive the parent dragon's enormous magical power as nourishment until it hatches.]

Therefore, the baptism of magical power was also called 'mana shower'.

Even if the egg cannot accept all of that enormous magical energy, it continues to inject an overflow of magical energy into it.

[I know that Guardian is a great person, but no matter how much magic he pours into the egg until he is exhausted, compared to the magic power of the dragons, it is nothing more than fresh blood... hmm?]

Startle.

While saying that, Arsha felt something strange.

For some reason, the protective magic that went into Kamish's egg... showed no signs of being depleted.

And before I knew it, Suho had something in his mouth and was continuing to drink.

gulp. gulp. gulp.

[Use 'Item: Intermediate Magic Potion'.]

[Use 'Item: Intermediate Magic Potion'.]

[Use 'Item: Intermediate Magic Potion'.]

....

"There is enough horsepower."

A confident smile appeared on Suho's lips as he drank the magic potion without stopping.

It is confidence that has a clear basis.

His eyes were constantly focused on his status window, which was rising and falling in real time.

[MP: 358/6,410]

[MP: 1,410/6,410]

[MP: 431/6,410]

[MP: 2,160/6,410]

....

"Even though I'm not a dragon, I can use magic all day long as long as I have gold."

[This can't be happening....]

Arsha, who saw this, was astonished and opened her mouth wide.

Truly a mana shower!

The guardian's magic was infinitely showering Kamish's egg with magic!

[Khehe. Huh. For our Solord....]

[....]

Ber is flattered that it's this time again.

Su-ho, the person in question, was keeping quiet, but why was Ber taking care of the condescension? Arsha thought it would be good if someone could tell her.

Seaaaaaa-

Anyway, Suho nodded as he looked at Kamish's egg, which was endlessly absorbing his magic power.

"good. "From now on, I will have to earn gold as well."

In order to use magical power to the level of the dragon race, the cost of the potion was going to be quite high.

***

Lim Do-gyun, a 'former' university administrative assistant, had been doing similar work since he somehow became a seonhunter.

There is only one thing that has changed.

The only thing that happened was that the professor, who always gave only difficult and difficult tasks, had now changed into a boss named 'Sung Su-ho.'

"Now, let's see...."

For the first time in a long time, Lim Do-gyun took out the tablet PC he used when working in the school's teaching assistant's office and began writing down his work diary.

"The conditions of the dungeons that Suho wants...."

Ssuk suk.

1) A dungeon where the Demon Factory is likely to be hidden.

(A place where demon-type monsters haunt?)

(Rumors about stardust, or where the missing person is?)

2) A dungeon where you can earn a lot of gold.

(What is this again? A place where a lot of expensive materials are found?)

Brainstorming occurred in Lim Do-gyun's head as he wrote down numerous thoughts.

And his eyes and ears continued to do whatever it took to find dungeons that met all the conditions.

First of all, connections.

"hello? Dad, can you call me? "If you're not busy, I have something to ask you."

I even called my father, whom I still have an awkward relationship with.

"Oh, hello? This is CEO Jinho Yoo's secretary's office, right? CEO Jinho Yoo told me that if I need anything, I can ask for it here. yes. What we need is information..."

I tried my best to call the secretariat of that great, great company.

"ah! Vice President Baek Mi-ho? I am Lim Do-gyun, Vice President of Woojin Guild! "Can you please share some information about the dungeon?"

It was like that.

Lim Do-gyun is usually very scared.

However, he was a former teaching assistant who could do anything for public affairs.

And he achieved the feat of finding dungeons that met all of Suho's requirements in less than an hour.

"Suho! No, boss! The dungeons I found are listed here! "I have prioritized them according to my own standards, so I think you can attack them in this order!"

[Kiek? what? Has this coward ever been this capable?]

"Hehe."

Lim Do-gyun felt extreme catharsis at the sight of even Berg being surprised.

And riding on that momentum, he confidently conveyed his demands to Suho.

"So I don't have to go into the dungeon this time?"

"What can I say, of course I have to go in."

"...."

Lim Do-gyun suddenly became sullen.

***

So, Su-ho's guild began touring the dungeons found by Lim Do-gyun and attacking the demon factories one by one.

There was enough money.

Coincidentally, a huge amount of money from selling all the dungeon resources mined in Busan was deposited into the guild account.

With that money, Su-ho bought the dungeons found by Lim Do-gyun without hesitation and started attacking them right away.

Having already worked together in Busan, the shadow soldiers led by Suho completely destroyed the dungeons at a truly dazzling speed.

[Your level has risen!]

[Your level has risen!]

....

At this level, the leveling up speed was not bad.

'As expected, you did a good job creating the guild. 'It's much easier to get a dungeon than when you're a freelancer.'

You don't just increase your level by going through dungeons.

Expensive materials obtained from defeated demons were sold in store windows to earn gold.

The cost of a potion is the same as that of a potion, but to speed up the battle, I also bought defensive items from the store and wore them.

[Item: Senior Knight's Breastplate]

Difficulty of acquisition: B

Type: Armor

Physical damage reduction + 7%

(If your strength is less than 80, your movements will be slow.)

[Item: Senior Knight's Helmet]

Difficulty of acquisition: B

Type: Armor

Physical damage reduction +6%

(If your strength is less than 80, your movements will be slow.)

Because of my lack of strength stats, I bought the items I was coveting from the store.

As you increase your defense, you can save on potion costs and the speed of battle becomes faster.

'It seems like he is gradually becoming a full-fledged tank.'

Suho was a little surprised by his own fighting style.

When you look at him leading shadow soldiers, he is clearly a necromancer, but in reality, he stands out in front of his summons and calls himself a tank.

Then, the shadow soldiers who followed him took out the remaining demonic beasts that he had left behind.

"...Should I call it a 'necro tanker'?"

Suho smiled and continued to conquer the dungeons.

Then I actually discovered the Devil Factory.

However, since they were ordinary(?) devil factories, they could not obtain any information about the Foreign Religion.

Instead, I was able to obtain the magic stones that were stored there as an ingredient for stardust, which went into Ver's mouth intact.

And once again, Guardian himself drank the potion and repeated to infuse Kamish's egg with his magic power....

It was then.

[Suho.]

Queen Bee Arsha spoke to Suho with a serious expression.

[I think my worker bees found something.]
