Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 161

[Level Up with God Episode 161]

* * *

I knew where Gigantes was, but there was a problem.

Boiling lava.

The question was how to get into this sea of lava, which was difficult to even get close to.

‘Hercules would be able to enter without difficulty, but…’

How long can he really endure in there?

Yuwon was not the only one who knew that fact.

“Stay out of the way.”

Hercules walked toward the lava.

It was a Yuwon who had been fighting with him for quite some time.

Now just looking at the situation, I could see what he was trying to do.

A fist rising upward.

Buuung-.

Hercules slammed his fist into the boiling lava.

OK.

Fuuuuuu-!

Lava rose upward from the fist that fell down. Thanks to the power transmitted deep below, the river filled with lava split, revealing the submerged land below.

Patter Hudu Dudu Du-.

Ssssssssssssssssss-.

Lava rises upward and falls down again.

Sigh-.

Hercules covered Yuwon’s head with the lion skin he was wearing.

[You receive the ‘Blessing of the Lion King.’]

[All attribute resistance increases.]

[Absorbs a certain amount of damage.]

Cheeeeeeeee-.

Leather that protects the body from lava falling on the head.

It was pretty good armor.

Not only does it have its own defense power, but it also has a special skill called ‘Lion’s Protection’.

of course.

‘Even if it weren’t for this, this much could have been protected with a triangle.’

Hercules, who had no way of knowing this fact, readily gave Yuwon the lion skin to protect him.

“Follow me. “Because the road is roughly open.”

“Ah….”

Kwagwagwagwa-.

A hole created by a large impact.

I wondered if that could really be called a road.

“okay. road.”

Anyway, one force was truly ignorant.

To blow a hole in a sea of lava with a single punch.

Hercules, the giant slayer.

He alone had the power to destroy an entire layer.

“But didn’t you say it was lower?”

“that’s right.”

“How far should I go down?”

“Same thing as before.”

Yuwon pointed with his hand to the bottom where the lava had disappeared.

“Just try three more times.”

“okay.”

Boom-.

Hercules swung his fist like before.

“How can I be fooled…”

Quaaaang-!

Deeply dug ground.

“Trust me.”

* * *

Boom!

A deep hole was dug in the ground.

Dark and deep underground…

nothing like that existed down there.

“What is it here?”

Hercules lifted his head and looked up as if he was dumbfounded.

I thought that if I broke the ground and went down, there would be a humid and dark space underground.

But why?

The basement the two came down to was too bright and familiar to be underground.

Hercules looked up and saw a bright blue ceiling.

The light shining down. blue sky.

It looked like the sky.

“Is this really underground?”

Deep underground, several kilometers down.

If it weren’t for the marks he made, he might have thought this place was just like the normal world.

Jeopuk-.

Yuwon arrived at his destination and started walking towards the tall mountain in the distance.

He doesn’t look very surprised.

Hercules asked Yuwon’s reaction.

“How did you know about this place?”

“There was an informant.”

“Informant?”

“No matter what I say, you are a stranger. “Even if I want to meet you, I can’t.”

Next, Yuwon continued speaking in a slightly bitter voice.

“Me too.”

How to know.

I heard directly from Hercules that this place exists.

Of course, I couldn’t say that right here.

Even if he said it, he wouldn’t believe it unless Hercules had a skill like Son Wukong’s Hwaan Geumjeong.

Instead, you’ll be treated like a crazy person.

“So don’t talk nonsense and just follow me.”

Yuwon’s expression and tone of voice when dealing with Hercules have changed.

“If you want to know the truth.”

Jeopuk-.

Yuwon walking towards a high mountain.

Hercules muttered as he looked at Yuwon’s back.

“truth…?”

What kind of truth are you talking about?

Could it be that he is being deceived?

Suspicion about Yuwon deepened.

I knew from the beginning that he knew who I was and approached me, but I thought it didn’t matter.

A comfortable and friendly person I haven’t seen in a long time.

I thought it wouldn’t be a bad thing to have a friend like this, no matter what the identity was.

But now, after coming here, he had been thinking that Yuwon might be the liaison of the giants.

And if that’s the case…

‘Maybe it’s a trap.’

Yuwon no longer tried to hide anything.

If you follow along, you’ll probably find something.

Whether it’s a secret or a trap.

‘If it’s a trap.’

Stride-.

Hercules clenched his fists and followed Yuwon.

‘I’ll destroy everything.’

* * *

The direction Yuwon was heading was toward a mountain.

It’s a pretty big mountain, probably a few kilometers high.

But Yuwon did not climb the mountain in the end.

“Why do you stop?”

Hercules no longer walked by Yuwon’s side.

Yuwon asked, looking back at Hercules who had been following behind him.

“Why are you walking so far apart?”

“Because it’s suspicious.”

“I can’t lie after all.”

“What do you mean, ‘as expected’, that you know about me?”

“That’s right.”

One-way traffic is this difficult.

Knowing only one side was a more uncomfortable relationship than not knowing each other.

Yuwon has felt that fact several times recently.

“Anyway, I asked why you stopped?”

Yuwon said, pointing forward with his chin.

“Just extend your fist in that direction and you’ll know.”

“there…?”

There was nothing where Yuwon pointed.

A high mountain covered in trees.

There was no path for people to walk on and there was no sign of popularity.

But then I stretched out my fist.

‘First of all, I have to do as I’m told.’

The moment Hercules was about to extend his fist.

Gugugugugu-.

The earth and the mountains shook.

And very badly.

“This vibration…”

Hercules’ voice trembled.

“This energy.”

My eyes turned red and bloodshot, the cap on my head opened, and my mind turned white.

I finally found it.

The leader of the giants.

The leader of the giants who have been at war with Olympus for a long time.

“Gigantes!”

Blah blah blah-.

Flesh color is revealed through cracks in the floor.

How long had I been asleep?

The entire mountain, which was several kilometers long, moved. Yuwon asked as he saw Hercules’ face turning into madness.

“Is it that good?”

“….”

Hercules did not answer.

It was because it wasn’t worth answering.

“Do you want to do that for revenge?”

“…what?”

It was then.

The first time Hercules looked at Yuwon with a crazy face.

plural.

Yuwon seemed to know why he went around killing giants.

“What are you?”

Hercules approached the amusement park.

“What is he really doing?!”

“Don’t get too excited.”

Yuwon looked at the king of giants who was slowly waking up from his sleep.

“I’m just saying let’s clear up some misunderstandings.”

“misunderstanding…?”

『Someone said-. 』

A voice that resonates in the sky.

Even though it was a simple voice without a single ounce of mana, just hearing it gave me the illusion that my body was being weighed down.

『The giant slayer came all the way here. 』

San got up, stretched out his arms and legs, and raised his head.

Long, thick legs.

The two people were so tall that they seemed to reach the sky from which they fell, showing off an intimidating and intimidating look.

『Is his name Hercules? 』

Hercules showed great performance in the first Gigantomachia.

A high ranker who killed the most giants.

Giant Slayer.

There was no way Gigantes, the king of the giants, did not know about him.

“Yes, that’s right. Hercules.”

Wow-.

Strength went into my clenched fist.

As life rises, mana begins to gush out from Hercules’ body for the first time.

“Of course, the giant slayer.”

『Then the business is pretty obvious. 』

Sleep for a long time.

When I wake up, the giants’ old enemy is in front of me.

There was no way Gigantes would just ignore this situation.

Gooooo-.

The mana that began to gush out from the two people’s bodies connected heaven and earth.

The moment when the two are about to collide.

Hwareuk-!

A huge flame rose from the middle of the two people.

A flocking gaze.

“Why don’t you stop?”

In the middle of them, Yuwon was standing, spouting flames.

“what?”

『Who is this person? 』

Gigantes made a puzzled expression upon seeing his face for the first time.

There was also a subtle hostility in that expression and voice.

They probably thought that Yuwon, who is not a giant, would be on the same side as Hercules.

‘If we fight here, the outcome will be obvious.’

The three Gigantes are on equal footing with the three gods of Olympus.

Therefore, they had pride in their own skills.

He said that no one other than Samshin would be able to defeat him.

But the opponent was Hercules.

‘You can’t think that things will be the same now as they were a thousand years ago.’

Normally, Gigantes would die here.

At the hands of Hercules, it was also very cruel.

I couldn’t just watch it.

If that happens, a second Gigantomachia will occur and the war will grow out of control.

As long as Hercules continues to search for the Gigantes, this will happen someday.

To prevent that, Yuwon guided Hercules to this location.

“Trusting only in strength and fighting ignorantly is the same even if the species is different.”

“what?”

『Are you saying this because you can take responsibility? 』

When the two voices were heard at the same time, Yuwon furrowed his eyebrows and looked back at Gigantes.

“Speak as carefully as possible. “Because my ears hurt.”

『What kind of arrogance…』

“Do you guys know why you’re fighting?”

It was a fundamental question.

Why?

Gigantes was the first to answer that question.

『The author is a giant slayer. They are the ones who have killed the most of our species and will continue to do so in the future. Do we need any more reasons? 』

Gigantes had a clear reason. As Hercules killed their own race and earned the title of giant slayer, there was ample reason to fight.

But he probably doesn’t know ‘why’ Hercules hates the giants.

“Then Hercules.”

Yuwon’s gaze turned to Hercules, who was standing facing Gigantes.

“What you want is revenge for your mother who was killed by the giants, right?”

Hercules’ eyes wavered.

How many times have I been surprised after meeting Yuwon?

“How could you…”

“This.”

Swish-.

Well done-.

“…?”

Hercules suddenly caught something Yuwon threw with his large hand.

“Check what it is.”

“What is this…”

An earthquake occurred on Hercules’ face as he checked the object in his hand.

A long, red, thin necklace.

It was an unforgettable item.

“This…”

coo coo coo coo-.

Hercules’ eyes widened, and the enormous mana that had been hidden in his body began to turn the ground.

“Why do you have this?”

His anger turned from Gigantes to Yuwon.
