Solo Leveling- Ragnarok

Chapter 253

Wheeing-!

Whaat!???

Vibrations erupted simultaneously throughout Korea.

“What happened?”

“What’s going on?”

‘Emergency disaster text messages’ came pouring into people’s cellphones.

Shwaaaaak-

A black shadow appeared over the heads of the people walking along the street.

Without saying a word, the pedestrians raised their heads and looked at the sky, astonished.

“That’s crazy.”

“What is that?!”

Wheaaa …

Is it an airplane?

A jet?

No.

Kiaaaaaaah-!

“A- a dragon?!”

“It’s a flying dragon!”

Aaaah!

People’s eyes widened.

People’s screams could be heard everywhere.

A giant monster with large wings!

It was flying over the city at an incredible speed, creating a black trail in its path!

-Breaking News) A dragon appears in the skies above Seoul?

-Urgent) Where is the dragon’s destination?

-Important) The Hunter Association failed to respond. What about the safety of the citizens?

In no time, pictures of the black dragon were plastered all over the internet.

The dragon was so famous that someone was always following it’s trajectory, constantly taking pictures.

And fortunately, there were no casualties.

The dragon just passed over people’s heads.

But it couldn’t be overlooked.

* * *

Even before the dragon arrived on the Korean peninsula, emergency orders were being given to all the Hunter Guilds and Hunter Associations in Korea.

“It’s a dragon attack!”

“It’s a dragon! It’s believed to be a dragon specialized in flight!”

“They are heading straight for the Korean Peninsula!”

It’s like looking at the weather forecast on the eve of a typhoon.

However, typhoon was moving fast, too fast.

“Find a way to stop it before it gets here!”

“It’s too high!”

“It’s too risky to let hunters fight on the sea!”

“What if we shoot it down with a surface-to-air missile!”

“Even if you hit a missile without magic power, it won’t damage it!”

“Who cares?! Slow it down!”

“At this rate, it will reach the Korean Peninsula before the government even gives their approval!”

There was absolutely no way.

If South Korea were to explode missiles over city centers in the hopes of shooting the dragon down, it would clearly put the citizens at risk.

“For now, it seems like we’ll have to get him down to the ground first then deal with him!”

“There’s no chance of it just passing by, right?”

“Its already arrived!”

“What the hell! Chase it now!”

The moment the black dragon struck the Korean Peninsula.

All the hunters and associations in the area rushed out with their weapons in hand, without anyone saying anything.

“What direction?!”

“To the North!”

“Follow me!”

Follow the black trail, towards the North!

It wasn’t a problem normal hunters could fix.

“Only A Rank or higher follow me!”

“I want healers from only B rank and above!”

The opponent was a dragon.

Because it was a dragon, hunters prepared accordingly.

“At least A-class! At this ridiculous speed, it’s possible that it’s an S-class dragon!”

“If it is a dragon that specializes in flying, there is a chance that its combat power is A-class!”

It was a moment when the South Koreans hunters had to join forces unconditionally, regardless of if they were in different guilds.

“Contact the Association! Tell all nearby Hunters to be on high alert! It’s a Dragon Raid!”

Dragon Raid!

The weight of that name was truly terrifying.

All people could hope for was that the raid would end safely, and there would be no casualties.

“I will go myself!”

The fastest responder was, of course, the White Tiger Guild, which prioritized the citizen’s safety first.

Baek Yoon-ho gritted his teeth and released magical power across his entire body.

‘Transformation’

Phew!

Baek Yoon-ho’s whole body covered up in white fur.

A pure white trail followed him as he ran down the road with all his might.

If Baek Yoon-ho was noticed, there might be news that a white beast appeared in the middle of the city.

But he didn’t care about that.

Wheaaa …

He gritted his teeth.

The reason he was in a hurry was not only for the safety of the citizens, but also for another reason.

‘Miho went that way!’

The direction where the black trail went, coincidentally, was the place Baek Miho had gone to in the morning for an important schedule.

Sung Suho’s trip to North Korea!

The person who was in charge of transporting the Association’s supply trucks was none other than Baek Miho, who was close to the association.

Because there was a large amount of supplies and valuable equipment, the association provided further support in preparation for any unforeseen circumstances.

But why is an unidentified dragon flying towards them?

‘Could this be a coincidence? It can’t be!’

Baek Yoon-ho trusted his intuition.

When he was a firefighter.

How many did he save using this one keen sense?

‘Miho! Please be safe! Your dad will be there soon!’

Crrrrrrr!

Baek Yoon-ho’s speed was dazzling.

People, roads, cars, buildings, rivers, trees, mountains, mountains, and mountains.

The scenery passing by him changed continuously and in an instant.

That is an S-class hunter’s full speed.

Kuwang-!

Finally, he arrived.

Before anyone else.

‘Demilitarized Zone’

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A bubbling river.

Thunder and lightning came crashing down from above.

“Miho!”

Baek Yoon-ho roared in front of him.

At the same time, a sharp light flashed in his eyes as he quickly scanned his surroundings.

He tried to look for his daughter.

‘Found it!’

It’s the black dragon!

At that moment, a vicious beast with white cold air and lightning descended in front of the iron fence.

To help one guy, the unawakened soldiers risked their lives and surrounded him and stood there helplessly.

‘Huh?’

Kiaaam-!

Startle!

Suddenly, the black dragon opened its mouth wide and yawned.

Baek Yoon-ho instinctively jumped to the side, fearing that fire might burst out from its mouth.

Then he found Baek Miho, who was standing in front of a nearby truck, and blocked her path.

“Miho! Daddy’s here!”

At that moment, other hunters who arrived a step later than Baek Yun-ho also gathered.

“It’s here!”

“We found the dragon!”

Proud hunters who protect Korea.

Even though they usually fight among themselves out of competitiveness, when the safety of citizens is at stake, they all unite as one.

“Everyone, prepare for battle!”

“Hunter Baek Yoon-ho is here too!”

“It’s Hunter Baek!”

Without even a moment to catch their breath, everyone naturally formed a formation centered around the S-class hunter.

The hunters who witnessed the true nature of the black dragon all surrounded it with determined expressions.

However…

Kkiuung…

Something was strange.

Even though it was surrounded by hunters and soldiers in an instant, the black dragon was at peace.

The creature stretched out its huge wings as if stretching, then folded them back gently and crouched down.

Then, it politely brought its two hideous front paws forward and lay flat on the ground.

‘What the heck…’

Gulp.

Everyone was swallowing dry saliva.

Then at that moment, two people appeared, gently landing on the ground from the dragon’s back.

Everyone’s eyes filled with astonishment and a puzzled expression.

Those two people were…

Cha Hae-in and Sirka, whose appearances were not properly captured on camera because the dragon was so fast.

“Uh… I guess I should have told you to fly a little higher.”

Sirka muttered awkwardly and examined Cha Hae-in’s expression.

Then, Cha Hae-in looked at the people surrounding them and made a very apologetic expression.

Bow!

“Sorry, sorry! I thought no one would be able to see us if we were that high!”

Cha Hae-in, with her ears reddened, hurridly bowed to everyone and apologized.

But no matter what she said, the hunters gathered there couldn’t hear anything.

“My goodness.”

A shield that was in someone’s hand fell to the floor with a thud.

“The dragon…”

“The dragon…”

“Did it bring someone with it?”

Woof! Kwakwakwang!

Everyone was frozen by the shocking sight that defied common sense.

But at that time.

Baek Yoon-ho, the only S-class hunter there and the oldest…

Startle.

“Now, wait a minute. You couldn’t possibly be…”

While everyone was panicking, he was the only one who recognized ‘Cha Hae-in’s’ face.

There’s no way he wouldn’t know.

The last time he saw Cha Hae-in was about 20 years ago.

When he went to the wedding of the son of his respected senior, Sung Il-Hwan.

It was the ‘bride’ who was the main character that day.

But that wasn’t the problem.

Even before going to the wedding, Baek Yoon-ho knew Cha Hae-in’s face very well.

No, the whole nation knew.

Because she was a person that every Korean could not help but know.

“Cha Hae-in?!”

The name eventually came out of Baek Yoon-ho’s mouth.

Idol of the track and field world.

Olympic gold medalist.

As an Asian, she officially set a world record by running in the 9-second range.

A global sports star born in Korea.

‘Cha Hae-in’

“What?! That Cha Hae-in?”

Click.

While everyone was shocked.

The cameras shuttered amd the reporters who had gathered to cover Sung Suho’s trip to North Korea went off towards Cha Hae-in, who appeared like a comet riding a black dragon.

* * *

The sudden attack by a dragon across the Korean Peninsula ended as a short incident.

But there was an even more shocking incident that flooded the internet that got people’s dopamine pumping.

-Breaking News) The shocking identity of the Awakened One who appeared riding a dragon!

-Urgent) Cha Hae-in! What is her rank?

The comments section was also in chaos.

-So who the hell is Cha Hae-in??

-Tsk tsk, kids these days.

-Time flies.

-How could you not know Cha Hae-in?

-Well, they are teenagers, they probably weren’t even born yet. I can really feel the generation gap.

-Is there nothing we can do? It’s already been 20 years since Cha Hae-in retired.

-Wow, but even though she’s 20 years older, she’s still as beautiful as ever.

-If you run fast, you won’t age?

-She’s actually become more elegant.

-Ah! So who is Cha Hae-in?

-If you ask who she is, she is simply light. In terms of her career, she has achieved everything she could as a track and field athlete.

Information about Cha Hae-in soon began to fill the news column.

Even though it’s been 20 years, ‘Cha Hae-in’ is still a true sports star from Korea.

But as time passed, there was only one reason why she was forgotten by the people.

After retirement, Cha Hae-in chose to live an ordinary life rather than being a celebrity or entertainer.

Her daily life thereafter was kept completely confidential.

Many paparazzi have tried to cover Cha Hae-in’s life after retirement, but none were successful.

It was obvious she had a great body guard, even the pictures people took were all covered in black shadows and not a single one came out well.

Moreover, Cha Hae-in doesn’t even use the common SNS, and the sense of mystery was further heightened.

When people think of Cha Hae-in’s last moments, there is only one.

The last interview from the day she announced her retirement.

“As a senior who is retiring, can you leave behind some special training methods of your own for your juniors?

“Hmm. Well, I don’t think my method will work for everyone. I just… ran hard to try to beat my boyfriend at least once, and before I knew it, I was breaking a world record.”

“Oh, you said your boyfriend was an ordinary civil servant, right? I’ve heard many interviews where you said he was always there to motivate you.”

“Haha…”

The announcer smiled and continued talking, finding it cute that Cha Hae-in was still awkward around the camera even though she had become so famous.

“Now that you’ve set a world record, I guess you’ve won.”

“Yes, I won. Just once. It was a stroke of luck.” 1

“You are so humble.”

Even while looking at the camera, Cha Hae-in’s cute and proud smile makes the announcer’s smile become even warmer.

It is precisely this simple aspect that made Cha Hae-in so charming.

A living legend who achieved great things and never lost her original intention and remained humble.

“Anyway, it’s such a shame that you’re retiring already. But since you’ve even set a world record… What are your plans after retirement?”

“I should get married. Because I won.”

“…!”

A shocking interview where she announced her retirement and sudden marriage.

At that moment, men across the country lit up their eyes, determined to find out who that man was. 1

However, the identity of this ordinary civil servant man was kept secret until the end.

According to a source close to the couple, the couple was solely focused on raising their children.

All they wanted was for their child to live a simple life.

“This river water looks hot and dangerous. I will give you a ride.”

“Oh, thank you, Mother.”

Kiaaaaaaah-!

… … It’s really not ordinary at all.
