Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 157
[Level Up with God Episode 157]
* * *
Kwaaaaang-!
Above the temple sky.
Clouds flew in circles in all directions, making the sky look like there was a big hole in it.
Ji-Ik-.
Athena, who was pushed back by the shock, fortunately did not suffer much damage from Yeo Eui-bong’s impact.
Aegis’ shield.
As one of the items symbolizing Olympus, it was an item with the reputation of being the strongest shield.
“Is this an item of Hephaestus?”
Son Goku made a similar expression.
I don’t know how much adamantium was mixed into the Aigis, but it had a defense that could not be broken even by the Yeouibong.
Of course, what was even greater was Athena holding the shield and blocking Yeouibong.
Gigigigigigi-.
Athena’s hands trembled from the shock transmitted over the Aegis.
The sun chariot they were riding in had already been torn to pieces.
‘The moment it breaks through, the battle line collapses.’
Athena radiated magical power through her hand on the shield.
Right now at this moment.
The center of the battlefield was yourself, and if you were breached, the fight would become meaningless before it even started.
Giiiing-.
[Gorgon’s protection is activated.]
[The protection of war resides in the shield.]
Magical power transmitted to the Aegis.
The effect of the item activated and Athena raised the shield blocking the Yeouibong upward with all her might.
Two hit!
The trajectory of Yeouibong is changing.
Skaaaat-.
Athena, with her sword drawn, quickly approached Son Goku while riding the female pole.
Shhh-.
Whoa!
“…!”
A thin, long baton that blocks swords.
Athena’s eyes widened.
‘Yeouibong?’
When did it decrease like this?
As I glanced to the side, I saw the empty seat of Yeouibong, who had disappeared before I knew it.
Hissing!
Athena hurriedly swung her baton around and blocked Son Goku’s sword with her shield.
As the distance narrowed, Son Goku shortened the blade and swung it like a sword.
Tsk-!
Heavy weight.
Not only was Goku’s strength strong, but the weight of the weapon itself was also considerable.
‘It’s not just about increasing or decreasing the size, it’s also fast.’
A rod that can be extended and shortened at will.
Goku’s skill in handling it felt like a ghost.
It can increase its size at once and hit the opponent from a distance, and adjust the length of the baton according to the distance to the opponent to continue the fight to its advantage.
Although Athena had experienced countless wars, this was her first time dealing with such weaponry.
It was then.
“Grow up-.”
The tip of Yeouibong Peak is visible right in front of you.
‘Oops.’
Athena urgently lifted up the Aegis.
“Yeoui.”
Toukwaang-!
In an instant, Athena’s body flew upward along with Yeouibong, which rose into the sky.
Yeouibong Peak soars high into the sky.
Son Goku licked his lips with regret.
“Did you stop it?”
The decision to instantly raise the shield and protect the body was quite effective. Even Zeus would have been unable to avoid Yeouibong from this distance.
However, contrary to the regretful voice, the corners of Son Goku’s mouth gradually turned upward.
“It’s more fun than I thought.”
Hwareuk-.
Son Wukong’s Hwaan Geumjeong blocked the Yeouibong with Aegis and headed towards Athena, who was floating above.
Indeed, he was a high ranker who symbolized the war of Olympus.
Unlike the first time, when he thought it would be easy, Goku started to enjoy this fight.
Suuuu-.
The clouds floating in the sky came down and gathered at Goku’s feet.
“Let the others take care of themselves.”
Fluffy-.
Goku’s body floated upward.
“Because I have to fight that guy more.”
Woe!
Son Goku, riding Geunduun, rushed towards Athena.
Kwaang-!
Yeouibong and Aegis clashed again, creating a dense wave of mana in the sky.
Yuwon, who was watching the fight, shook his head.
Even though it was an alter ego, its personality seemed to be not that different from the main body.
“In times like this, it would be really convenient if that guy was the main body.”
Yuwon looked around at the fifty rankers.
“The number of people is as high as that guy’s.”
Jecheon Daeseong used to create hundreds and thousands of self-immolations to fight.
Thinking of him, Yuwon sighed and shook his head.
Anyway, as long as Son Goku was caught by Athena, it was up to them.
Hwareuk-.
[‘Fair eye’ is shaken.]
[‘Sense zone’ is activated.]
Unstable flower eye.
Fortunately, the sensory zone worked without any problems. It didn’t seem like there would be much time left to fight.
“Arthur.”
-yes.
“Escape from here is a top priority rather than killing the enemy.”
Anyway, they were rankers.
Unless they have great loyalty, they will probably join another guild when Olympus falls.
There was no need to settle the matter here by relentlessly killing them.
of course.
-Are you saying to fight without killing?
“no.”
That didn’t mean there wasn’t a fight.
“If necessary, I will kill you.”
The important thing is to conserve power by avoiding unnecessary fights, not to not fight at all.
“War is starting.”
* * *
Fifty rankers.
No, if the existing number of people was added, the number was close to sixty.
Fortunately, thanks to his alter ego, he was able to overcome the situation that seemed to be going down due to Jecheon Daeseong’s intrusion.
‘I can avenge Ares.’
Apeses glared at Yuwon and took a long step forward.
Even before becoming a player, he admired Olympus and grew up under Ares, the son of Zeus.
Ares was his master and companion.
Then Ares died.
It was time for revenge.
That moment.
Seaaaa-.
Ice attribute mana spread throughout the temple.
Apeses’ body instantly stiffened as the chill penetrated his bones.
Right after that.
Seok-.
Arthur’s sword cut off Apheses’ head.
Pot-.
Apheses turned his body back and drew his sword.
A sword imbued with mana.
Kwagwagwaggwa-!
At the same time, when the sword is swung wide, dozens of sword strikes come out.
however.
Damn it-.
‘Is it frozen?’
The mana that was gushing out with the sword attack froze.
Mana is frozen.
Even he, who lived a long time to become a ranker, had never seen or heard of such a case.
“be careful!”
Ssut-jju-euung-!
A colleague who broke in blocked Arthur’s sword. The colleague, pushed back by the force, flew backwards and at the same time grabbed Apeses by the scruff of the neck and pulled him in.
dump-.
Thanks to this, Apeses collapsed on the floor with a blank expression on his face.
‘This is undead?’
Deep down, he was looking down on Arthur.
No matter how much he was the King of Britain and the King of Knights, he had no choice but to become weak once he became undead.
In that case, I thought that he would probably be an average ranker or lower…
‘It’s no different from the rumors, right?’
A rumor about the King of Knights that has been around for a long time.
Because the round table was so famous, its abilities were well known. And the skills Arthur was showing now were not much different from the skills I had heard about through rumors.
‘They weren’t undead?’
So so so so so-.
Damn it!
Arthur spread ice mana everywhere and dealt with the rankers.
In that moment, one ranker froze and fell to the ground.
And then.
“It’s over there!”
Apeses’ head turned at the shout of a ranker.
Suddenly-.
Yuwon, who had cut off the head of one ranker, was heading towards the temple’s exit.
“Are you trying to leave the place?”
I don’t know why he came into the temple and started fighting, but it seemed like he had fulfilled his purpose just by killing Ares.
“I can’t let you run away.”
Papdeuk-.
Apeses gritted his teeth and stood up.
I couldn’t continue to sit like this. Ares had to be avenged.
[Lightning]
Spot-.
The new form of Apeses, who activated the skill, appeared behind Yuwon.
Lightning was the highest rank skill among Apheses’ skills that instantly increased the speed several times, even if only briefly.
It was a skill mainly used by assassins, so it was not used often because it was different from the spirit pursued by the Ares tribe, but…
‘If only I could avenge Ares!’
Shuaaak-.
A sword stabbing the heart from behind.
Apeses had no doubt that his sword would pierce Yuwon’s body.
That moment.
“I’m sorry, but I’m a little tired right now.”
As if time had stopped, Yuwon’s voice was heard even before the sword touched his body.
no.
‘Has it stopped? ‘A sword?’
His sword stopped before even touching the armor.
An incomprehensible situation.
I was clearly applying force, but the sword could no longer go in, as if something was blocking it.
[The ‘Blessing of the Sea’ dwells in my body.]
“I will do my best to run away and rest quickly.”
Squeak-.
A burning sensation passed down my neck.
The world spun and time passed slowly. Apeses hurriedly tried to grab his neck with both hands.
But in the end, his hands couldn’t reach his neck.
Sigh-!
blown neck.
Yuwon turned his head as he was greeted by a fountain of blood gushing out.
“So, I hope you don’t disturb me…”
Tuwak-.
Hua Aak-Fuhuo-!
A spear was thrown and a chain of explosions exploded surrounding the surrounding area.
The smoke from the explosion cleared and Yuwon muttered as he looked at the spear stuck in the ground.
“After all, conversation doesn’t work.”
As if they had realized Yuwon’s intention, more than ten rankers were already standing in the direction of the exit.
Arthur was fighting hard on one side, and on the other side, upwards, the fight between Athena and Goku was in full swing.
There is only one way.
Then there was only one answer.
‘I have no choice but to break through.’
Tsutsutsu-.
The color of the mana flowing from Yuwon’s body changed.
Dull dark red mana.
The expressions of the rankers who were facing the color and the felt energy changed.
“Magi?”
“No, really?”
“But this…”
They had gone through countless tests to become rankers, and had encountered demons a few times during that time.
The energy felt from Yuwon was similar to the magic energy felt from them.
“Have you heard of dual core?”
A power that replaces the magic power consumed from excessively using Quinae and finishing the fight with Ares.
Grumbling-.
A fire burned through the dark red mana flowing from Yuwon’s body.
Magi was just a new fuel to create fire, not mana.
[‘Hwaan’ rules over ‘Seonghwa’.]
The flames rising from behind Yuwon take shape.
A huge purple flame soared high into the sky.
The fire, which was spewing out hot heat in all directions, cut off unnecessary parts and made arms, legs, and heads.
“What kind of skill is that again?”
“Is that a giant?”
“Could it be that that guy was a demon?”
The rankers who were in confusion used their own skills one by one to raise their magic power, as if responding to Yuwon’s skills.
Some people fired another skill as if they were trying to interfere with Yuwon’s skill, but it did not reach Yuwon and burned away.
Hwareuk-.
A long sword held in the hand of a giant.
Suuuu-.
The giant, who took on the form of a complete giant, moved along the Yuwon.
“If you don’t want to die, get out of there.”
Wow-.
The giant followed Yuwon, who grabbed the sword with both hands, and took the stance of one sword, two swords.
[The ‘Heavenly Demon Spirit’ rules over the ‘Seonghwa’.]
“Not if you don’t like it.”
