Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 164

[Level Up with God Episode 164]

* * *

A blank face.

Contrary to expectations, no tears came out. Hercules, perhaps unable to sense reality, stood there without an expression and raised his fist.

Wow!

Hercules hit his face with his fist.

Use as much force as you can to turn a rock into powder.

Cheok-!

I hit my face again and again.

No matter how strong my body was, there was no way I could survive hitting my face with my hand.

My lips were chapped and my eyes were swollen. Even though it was quite painful, Hercules did not stop punching.

“Stop it now.”

A voice came from close by.

Yuwon was standing right in front of me. Hercules stopped punching and looked straight ahead for a moment before his eyes came into focus.

“It just worked out well.”

“what?”

“Did you say you took this from Ares?”

When Yuwon nodded, Hercules’ eyes changed.

“Where is that guy now?”

Having stayed on the 38th floor for a long time and fighting giants, he did not know where the Temple of Ares was.

Looking at his eyes shining with life, I could immediately tell what he wanted.

“He’s dead.”

“die? “Did you kill him?”

“yes.”

“It’s not a good idea to get revenge on that guy.”

Hercules raised his head and looked at Gigantes.

“I’m sorry.”

Sigh-.

Hercules knelt down.

Gigantes’ eyes looked down at Hercules.

“I was deluded all this time and killed your family… I’m truly sorry.”

Misinformation that giants killed Alcmene.

Hercules was fooled by this and has killed countless giants. Because of this, he earned the title of Giant Slayer and regarded it as a medal.

But now.

The title ‘Giant Slayer’ is something that cannot be washed away from him.

『Are you serious? 』

“If you ask for my life, I will give it to you.”

The same madness appeared in Hercules’ eyes as when he first encountered Gigantes.

“But not now.”

『Are you trying to find Zeus? 』

“Yes.”

The object of revenge that Hercules was looking at changed.

Zeus, not a giant.

And further to Olympus.

‘First of all, is it a success?’

Hercules was Zeus’ most powerful weapon.

Just looking at his immediate ranking, he was higher than Poseidon and Hades, so there was no doubt about his skills.

Also, Hercules, whom Yuwon knows, later reached a higher ranking than Zeus.

“I will kill my father and then come to pay for my sin.”

” Right. 』

Gigantes’ eyes closed.

The mana that had surrounded him ever since he faced Hercules suddenly calmed down.

He no longer recognized Hercules as his enemy.

『I cannot forgive you with my mouth. How many of our compatriots died? 』

“….”

『But you and your mother were victims like us. 』

Olympus and the blood shed by Zeus.

Among them were Hercules’ mother, Alcmene, and Hercules, who had lived a life he did not want as her son.

『At least I won’t give you that punishment. Still, if you want to pay for something like this, make sure you do it. 』

“What….”

『 Olympus. 』

Boom-.

Gigantes turned around, sat down again, and returned to the image of the mountain.

『Definitely destroy it. 』

After speaking, Gigantes fell into a long sleep again as if he had no more business to do.

At those words, Hercules paused for a moment, kneeling.

Gigantes crouched down again and became like a tall mountain.

“…All right.”

Hercules responded to that and stood up.

Soon he put Alcmene’s necklace around his neck.

Well-.

A red necklace tied around the neck.

Hercules looked back at the amusement park.

“Thank you. “I owe you.”

debt.

He was indebted to Hercules, the highest ranker in the tower. His change of direction is good for Yuwon, but this feeling will give Yuwon even greater strength in the future.

“I’ll make sure to repay this debt later. “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to stop.”

The fight against Gigantes.

Hercules knew what the fight would lead to.

The death of Gigantes, who was in the same position as the three gods of Olympus, had a high probability of leading to the second Gigantomachia.

Nevertheless, he came to Alcmene to seek revenge.

“If you think so, you can lend me a hand later.”

“Thank you for saying that. “It’s much better than saying there’s no need to be thankful.”

“Are you going to fight Olympus?”

“I think so.”

The direction has clearly changed.

He seems conflicted about fighting his father’s Olympus, but he was raised under Alcmene to begin with.

The bond with Zeus and the affection between father and son were initially castrated by Zeus himself.

Zeus was trying to make Hercules’ fist move through the death of Alcmene, and in the end, the karma will return to him.

“Then, to cheer you up, I’ll give you a nice gift.”

“gift…?”

“here.”

Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Magical power gushed out through Yuwon’s shadow.

Magical power that surrounds all directions.

Hercules frowned at the ominous magic.

“What are we going to do?”

“Just stay still.”

Suuuu-.

A haze appears before Hercules’ eyes.

“Because this is a gift.”

“…?”

There wasn’t much of a warning.

Anyway, with Yuwon’s skills, he wouldn’t be able to harm himself.

Above all, he already recognized Yuwon as an ally.

Creeping creeping-.

A shadow starting to wriggle.

After some time it took on the appearance of a human being.

“Who is this?”

A body without color.

The man wearing black armor and unfocused eyes looked somewhat familiar.

‘He takes after his father.’

Zeus.

The greatest being Hercules has ever known.

The black human created by Yu-won who appeared before his eyes looked exactly like him.

“It’s Ares.”

“what?”

Hercules was startled.

Ares.

It had unfocused eyes and didn’t even have a soul.

However, the face resembling Zeus clearly added to the persuasive belief that he was Ares.

“You can’t get revenge even if you’re dead?”

“Is that possible?”

“possible.”

Cheok-.

Quine’s eyes open.

“I am.”

Widely open eyes.

Although he could not enter hell directly like before, the title of Yuwon and the power of Quinae made it possible to summon a part of it.

[‘The King of the Dead’ faces his world.]

[Summons ‘Hell’.]

A huge sea where the dead exist.

A very small part of it wraps around. The moment Hercules was about to raise his magical power in a strangely frightening way, he noticed Ares’ eyes coming into focus.

Ares turned his head and found Yuwon.

-You guy…!

He found Yuwon and immediately placed his hand on her waist.

The sword was not lifted.

Without panicking, Ares rushed towards Yuwon. Since I didn’t have a sword, I was planning on fighting with my fists.

but.

[The dead worship you.]

Flutter-.

Ares fell to his knees without realizing it.

-…uh?

Ares kneels in front of Yuwon.

Unlike Arthur, he did not obey, but his soul had already become Yuwon’s.

Moreover, the dead could not defy Yuwon, who bore the title ‘King of the Dead’.

“Pain….”

Skak-.

Yuwon’s sword was drawn.

“Because I decide.”

Fuuk-.

“…!”

Ares’ eyes widened.

Perhaps thanks to the mental strength that had been trained over a long period of time, I did not scream, but I had to open my mouth to hold back the screams.

Obviously there is no body.

But in the first place, pain was not felt only through the body.

“The soul is weaker than the body. But depending on the person, the soul becomes stronger and stronger.”

King of the Dead.

After earning that title, I learned about the dead, the living, and spirits.

“We usually refer to that as ‘mental strength.’”

mentality.

It was a measure of the solidity of the soul.

Although the spirit of an ordinary person would be easily broken, it was a different story for a high ranker like Ares.

How much more pain will it take for his spirit to break down?

The soul is not easily broken.

And that’s why Yuwon was able to help Hercules take revenge.

“Beat as much as you want.”

Ares’ head turned back at Yuwon’s words.

Soon his eyes widened.

-He Hercules….

Hercules.

He was looking down at himself with scary eyes.

As he was the one who killed Hercules’ mother Alcmene by Zeus’ order, Ares has so far avoided meeting Hercules.

“Because it’s possible here.”

“thanks.”

Ttduk-.

Hercules relaxed his hands, as if preparing his mind.

And soon.

-Now, let’s sleep…

blah blah blah!

Wow!

Ares’ body exploded and a terrible scream rang out.

“you’re welcome.”

* * *

Ares’ soul was crushed by a few punches and was repeatedly restored by mental power.

Repeat several times.

Hercules said as he brought his fist in front of Ares’ eyes.

“I hope you made a mistake.”

-…refuse.

It was truly amazing spirit.

You don’t apologize even though you repeatedly feel the pain of your body being crushed and exploding.

Yuwon, who was watching from the side, was so disgusted that he would vomit, but Hercules, who was the one involved, wondered how terrible it would be.

“okay?”

Buuung-.

Cheok-!

Ares’ soul was crushed again.

“That’s a good thing.”

Apologizing wasn’t going to stop me anyway.

However, thanks to this, Hercules was able to attack Ares with greater peace of mind.

How long has it been like that?

Cheok-!

Kwajik peoeook-!

-Ugh…

Ares, who had been holding on with his teeth clenched, finally began to scream.

‘Stubborn.’

There was no place for Ares to run to anyway.

As he was already dead, he couldn’t commit suicide and couldn’t run away without Yuwon’s permission.

In the end, my mental strength collapsed and I had no choice but to disappear or succumb.

‘A warrior is not afraid of death.’

Cheok-!

Yuwon looked at the beating scene with his arms crossed.

‘Then what will extinction be like….’

– That’s enough!

Ares’ scream did not stop Hercules’ fist.

Cheok-.

Wow!

Once again his soul burst out. Unlike the first time, Ares’ soul was not able to recover quickly and slowly returned to its original form.

Ares’s head fell to the floor, his entire body flowing like mud.

-Mimi….

The pride of the last remaining warrior.

-I’m sorry…

That was the moment it broke.

[Brings the obedience of the ‘Warrior of War and Struggle’.]

[The mastery of the ‘King of the Dead’ increases.] A

similar message as when gaining Arthur’s loyalty.

‘This is surprising again.’

I can’t believe you can elicit obedience with such a simple method.

What started out as a way to relieve a friend’s misfortune created a pleasant variable.

“Are you sorry?”

Hercules asked without lowering his fist.

The first time was difficult, the second time was easy.

Ares quickly nodded.

-That’s right. sorry. I was wrong.

“Really? In that case…”

Hercules was worried.

Ares’ expression showed a moment of relief.

however.

Boom-.

Cheok-!

Ares’ head was blown off again with a single punch.

“Then now, just take more hits as much as you have been hit so far.”
