Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 158
[Level Up with God Episode 158]
* * *
The rankers of the Ares and Athena tribes had something in common.
Don’t be afraid of death and don’t look back.
It was a belief that one must have when going to war. For them, fear was a mountain they should never have and even if they had it, they had to overcome it.
It definitely should have been that way.
one.
Hahahaha!
A huge fire burning before my eyes.
A monster in the shape of a giant raises its sword.
‘What the hell is that?’
In their eyes, the giant’s shape looked different.
A dragon that emits breath.
A huge demon with two horns and black flames all over its body.
In addition, there are even imaginary monsters that cannot be recognized.
Creepy-.
“A warrior must never feel fear.”
Athena’s teachings to avoid fear.
She kept it better than anyone else and taught it to her subordinates.
But that teaching was of no use now.
I can’t help but feel fear when I see that thing in front of me.
Hwareuk-.
The sword with flames rises.
Jeopuk-.
I automatically took a step back.
“Goes.”
It was a friendly notice.
It’s like telling me to swing the sword before I even swing it.
But no one here thought it was funny.
A huge sword starting to fall.
At that time, someone opened his mouth.
“Blood…”
The moment the sword falls.
“damage-!”
That cry was the catalyst.
The rankers guarding the exit split to the left and right and ran away.
Quaaaa-!
Hahahaha!
Those who could not escape.
And those who overcome their fear or are so afraid that they are frozen in place.
They were engulfed in the giant’s fire.
‘I’ve never been so overcome with fear…’
Yuwon’s eyes looked into the flames.
‘I’m just prey to Seonghwa.’
A fire that feeds on emotions of fear and fear.
Their fear made the torch burn louder. The rankers, whose entire bodies were charred, quickly fell to the floor and turned to ashes.
‘Fraud is fraud.’
I felt it again.
Seonghwa was a skill that could be said to be the strongest in a fight against the overwhelming majority of relatively weak ones.
The problem was Athena.
She, who has gone through countless wars and is one of the best high-rankers in Olympus, will not be very afraid of Seonghwa.
However, as long as Athena was blocked by Son Goku, there was no one who could stop Yuwon.
“Arthur.”
-yes!
“let’s go.”
Jeopuk-.
Yuwon walked towards the open exit.
Arthur followed Yuwon and guarded his back. There was no one following us through the exit where there was an unquenchable fire.
‘It’s a pity that I couldn’t catch Athena here…’
Yuwon thought of the necklace he had put in his inventory.
‘Anyway, there are results.’
Until now, Yuwon has continued to be attacked by Olympus.
But at this moment, for the first time, Yuwon stretched out his fist towards Olympus.
That too by killing Ares, the enemy of Zeus and Hera and a high ranker of Olympus.
It was the moment when fireworks exploded, signaling a full-scale fight.
* * *
Jiiiing-!
The blade that hit Aegis pushed Athena’s body away.
Athena strengthened her hand holding the shield and turned around, raising her sword toward the sky.
Clap la la la-!
A thousand swords falling from the sky.
It moved along the tip of Athena’s sword.
“Ohh-.”
Son Goku’s eyes sparkled and he retrieved the Yeouibong again.
Immediately after that, he used the Hwa-an Geumjeong to examine the thousand swords flying around him from all directions, one by one.
Easy profit-!
Swords flying at the same time.
Whirly lick-.
Tsk tsk tsk ttt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt t tt t tt t tt t tt t tt t tt t tt t tt t tt t tt t tt t tt t tt t tt t tt t tt t tt t tt t tt t tt t t t t t t t .
Son Goku twirled the sword with one hand and used it to strike down all the swords one by one.
Float Float-.
Patter-patter-.
The swords that fell helplessly to the floor turned into dust and scattered. As it was created with Athena’s magic, it disappeared when she no longer used her power.
A thousand lost swords.
widely-.
Son Goku wrapped the Yeouibong, which he had been spinning with one hand, in his hand again.
That’s when he tried to swing the female baton again.
“for a moment.”
Athena lowered her sword and shield.
Son Goku, who was concentrating on the fight, made a puzzled expression.
“…I guess there’s no need to keep fighting.”
“why?”
“Kim Yu-won has left his seat.”
Hearing Athena’s words, Son Goku looked around and nodded.
Burning Temple.
The rankers are lost in it.
Seeing Son Goku calmly looking down at the chaotic battlefield, Athena realized that this situation was not created on the spot.
“Was it promised in advance?”
“He doesn’t like to deviate from the plan.”
“You mean Kim Yu-won?”
“okay.”
It was a short conversation, but Athena was able to infer a lot from it.
‘Did you know I was coming?’
The relationship between Ares and Athena was famous even among rankers outside of Olympus.
Siblings with the same father.
Also, colleagues who fight the war together and share the same ideology.
Yuwon already had Athena’s support in mind when he attacked the temple of Ares, and prepared a way to use Son Goku to stop her.
‘For what?’
Before she knew it, Athena had withdrawn her sword and glared at Son Goku, who was bare on his back.
I wanted to catch him and tell him everything I knew.
But he is just an alter ego.
Even if he was self-conscious, I didn’t think he would spit out information out of fear of death.
Above all, he is Jecheon Daeseong.
If it were the main body, it would be a towering being that one would not even dare to look at.
Susss-.
The Geunduun that Son Goku was riding gradually grew in size.
At that moment, Athena realized.
Let alone getting information from him, it is impossible to catch Son Goku who has Geunduun.
“Well, it was fun anyway. “I’ll see you again soon.”
Tuhwaaagh-!
Son Goku disappears high into the sky, drawing a pure white line.
Athena looked at Son Goku’s back and muttered.
“soon…?”
* * *
After leaving the temple, Yuwon went straight down the two floors.
38th floor.
A world where 90% of the land is covered with mountains and forests, and the remaining 100% is desert.
It was also a world that did not have a very large population because it was infested with thousands of volcanoes.
of course.
“I’m bored and don’t know how to live in a place like this.”
Tweet Tweet-.
The resounding sound of birds.
Above, sunlight seeps through the leaves.
A pleasant, grassy scent that is comfortable and does not irritate the tip of the nose.
It was a really pleasant and peaceful place.
At least that’s how it seemed on the outside.
‘Who knows.’
Slap-.
Yuwon shook his head as he walked on the ground where rainwater remained.
‘There’s a nuclear bomb hidden here.’
Yuwon walked forward, cutting away the branches and bushes that were blocking his path with the sheath of his knife.
It was a truly disgustingly large forest.
There were almost no villages, and most of the areas were undeveloped, with players considering it a level they were just passing through.
This is also one of those areas.
It made no sense to find one’s way in a place like that.
but.
“Is it like this?”
Yuwon looked back on old memories and found his way.
Forests that all look similar.
However, because the forest was untouched by human hands, it was not difficult to find traces of the person we were looking for.
Sigh-.
Yuwon bent down and looked at the floor.
Eyes that turned red.
Through those eyes, I could see the faint marks on the floor.
“You were here.”
footprint.
Yuwon followed the gray-looking thing.
How much longer did I walk?
As I walked along the single footprint, a large open space bathed in sunlight appeared.
That moment.
thud-.
The ground shook and the sound of chopping wood was heard.
Ujikkeun-!
A thick tree towering high in the distance leans to the side.
Trees that are several meters thick.
It went over and shook the ground once again.
thud-.
Yuwon walked in the direction where the sound was coming from.
Trees fell regularly. As the street got closer, the sound of chopping wood and a human voice could be heard.
“Are you lost?”
A heavy, low-pitched voice.
It was the same voice I remembered, not any different.
Ujikkeun-!
Another tree falls.
The way the man dug up the tree was unique.
Instead of chopping down a tree with an ax like a lumberjack, he broke it by hitting it with his fist.
The fallen trees were neatly laid out on one side.
He was definitely not an ordinary woodcutter.
If you can break a tree this thick with your fist, you should be considered to have at least the strength of a ranker.
Yuwon approached the man’s widely spread back and asked.
“What are you doing here?”
An unnatural tone of speech that seems to have been memorized and prepared for a long time.
also.
This kind of acting was awkward.
‘This kind of thing is a complete failure.’
The man turned to Yuwon’s question.
Tall, about 2 meters tall.
The muscles are so vivid that they seem to come alive at any moment.
The man who was working on the tree wearing a tank top and short shorts opened his mouth when he saw Yuwon.
“They were logging.”
“Are you a woodcutter by profession?”
“That’s the way it is now.”
“Then the house must be around here.”
“…however?”
“I’m a little tired. “I was wondering if I could take a break for a few days.”
“….”
The man stared at Yuwon.
I can’t believe I’m indebted to someone I meet for the first time. It was an absurd and shameless request.
“If you’re lost, I’ll draw you a map. “It’s dangerous around here, so it’s best to get out quickly.”
“What danger is there in such a peaceful forest?”
“What you see on the outside is not everything.”
“okay?”
It was an expected answer.
Still, I was glad.
Unlike Son Goku, who was unpredictable and self-indulgent, he had a simple personality.
“Still, I’ll take care of you just a little bit. “I’ll pay at least the cost of lodging.”
“But…”
“It’s because I’m really tired. “I feel like I’m going to collapse at any moment.”
It was a bit of an exaggeration, but it wasn’t a lie.
After fighting Ares, I immediately fought the rankers. Yuwon was quite tired due to excessive use of Quinae and Seonghwa.
A face that actually looks tired.
The man who was examining Yuwon’s face thought for a moment before answering.
“…Follow me.”
The man approached the pile of wood piled on one side.
A pile of trees that appears to be dozens of trees.
He lifted a pile of wood that weighed dozens of tons and walked towards somewhere with great strides.
Yuwon sighed as he looked at the man’s back.
‘That stupid personality is still the same.’
The law for dealing with men was simple.
You just have to insist.
Contrary to his appearance, he is a kind man who has lived a life without knowing how to refuse requests from others.
“It probably won’t be difficult to approach me.”
Hercules tried to tell them how to approach him at the meeting, but it was a topic that didn’t even need to be discussed in the first place.
“It doesn’t matter if I say that. “I will listen to you anyway if you ask.”
“…That’s right. I understand.”
Hercules.
A high ranker who is the key to destroying Olympus.
He was killing time by digging up wood in this secluded forest.
‘I can’t imagine.’
Jeopuk-.
As Yuwon followed Hercules, the man who was digging up wood, another name for him came to mind.
‘How did a guy like that get the title of giant slayer?’
