Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 169

[Level Up with the Gods Episode 169]

* * *

Kung Kugu Gugung -.

bang-!

The ship lost its balance and fell to the ground. The corpses of several players who had not been able to control themselves were laid out in the wreckage of the ship that had been flooded with rainwater.

“Wow, that’s a grand welcome.”

A boy wearing an old hat on his head and flying lightly through the sky.

Hermes, a high ranker from Olympus, stuck out his tongue as he looked at the wreckage of the ship that crashed to the ground.

And next to Hermes.

“Why didn’t you avoid it?”

Athena narrowed her eyes and glared at him.

Liberty and the throne of thieves.

Hermes could have made the entire ship move to avoid the sword strike.

of course.

“It’s not that I didn’t stop it, it’s that I couldn’t stop it, sister.”

From Hermes’ point of view, Athena’s words seemed unfair.

Sigh-.

A gaze moving to the side of Mt. Cheonsan.

A huge giant holding a sword made of red mana.

“I’ve never seen anything like that, not even in Gigantomachia.”

Mana as huge as a mountain.

The magical power of the Heavenly Demon was comparable to that of the Balaur in terms of amount alone.

‘Cheonma’ was a much bigger monster than I had heard about.

“…You have to be prepared.”

Athena also felt the presence of the giant in front of her.

“It’s like we’re fighting the martial arts themselves.”

“Anyway, my father only calls me for troublesome things like this.”

“I will take charge of the Heavenly Demon.”

Athena lifted up the Aegis.

Hermes looked back at Athena with narrowed eyes and a puzzled expression.

“What’s going on? “He didn’t want to come.”

“Once the fight has begun, it is natural that we must do our best.”

“but.”

“Don’t act like it’s bothering you either. Fight properly.”

“OMG-.”

Hermes screamed, scratching his head as if in annoyance, and pulled his hat down more deeply.

“I just hate fighting…”

jangle-.

A staff was placed in Hermes’ hand.

A staff with a snake’s head and decorated with several beads.

Hermes waved his staff and floated his body.

“So let’s finish it quickly and go back. “You should smell blood as briefly as possible.”

ugh ugh geuggeuk-.

The trees planted on Mt. Cheon were shaken and soon they were uprooted.

Device Device-.

Trees with split ends turned into giant spears.

“Uh huh?”

“Oh it’s coming!”

The believers gathered at Cheonsan screamed when they saw it.

Thousands of trees flying.

The moment when all the church members were on guard for that.

Dig support -.

Shukaak-.

The four Heavenly Lords ran forward.

Blah blah blah blah!

Two hit!

Thousands of trees burst into pieces, cut into tens of thousands of pieces, and fall helplessly down.

Hermes asked, looking at the four rankers who appeared as small as dots in the distance.

“Are they those people? “The four rankers that the Heavenly Demon Church is proud of.”

“These are people who use the arrogant name ‘Heavenly Lord.’”

“It’s a grand name compared to your skills, but it’s still pretty good.”

The four Heavenly Lords blocked his attack. He immediately recognized his opponent.

“I just need to take care of those guys.”

“rest of it?”

“Take care of it, sister.”

Hermes, who had already made up his mind, began walking towards Heavenly Mountain alone.

Individual actions are absolutely prohibited in war, but this time was an exception.

Hermes, a high ranker from Olympus who symbolizes freedom.

He was a person whose skills only came out when given freedom.

“A self-indulgent bastard…”

Of course, that kind of personality did not suit Athena.

“everyone-.”

chuck-.

Athena lifted the Aegis and spread a voice filled with mana.

“Ready for battle.”

“Ready for battle!”

Chuck Chuck-.

The Olympus side’s rankers and players who survived the fall are armed.

Athena, looking around them as they prepared for war, gave an order.

“From now on, we begin to annihilate the Heavenly Demon Church.”

“Let’s begin!”

Doo doo doo doo doo-.

An army numbering in the thousands began charging towards the Heavenly Demon Church. For some reason, the Cheon Demon Spirit, standing firmly next to Cheon San, did not move.

‘I guess they think the same thing.’

Cheon Mu-jin was not looking at the others.

He immediately recognized the leader of this battlefield and chose Athena as his enemy.

[You are Athena.]

Cheon Moo-jin’s voice.

Although she was clearly standing at the top of that high mountain, Athena felt as if Cheon Mu-jin was standing right in front of her.

I could tell without having to cross swords.

He is strong.

Maybe even more than myself.

‘They say it’s because they have become obsolete after not being active for a long time…’

As time passed, the rumors about the Heavenly Demon diminished, and Athena also implicitly thought so.

But why?

‘In fact, it has become much stronger.’

Cheon Mu-jin was not simply confined to the mountain for a long time, serving as a middle-aged man.

Rather, it was the opposite.

Every day was his last day at Mt. Cheonsan, and during that time he did not neglect his training even for a single day.

The Heavenly Demon has become stronger than heard in rumors.

And much more.

‘Today may be the day when the ranking of the Heavenly Demon changes…’

The moment when Athena was about to approach the Heavenly Demon.

“What should I do?”

A chilling voice was heard.

Inside the wreckage of a ship.

The two eyes that are looking at you with a sharp look are floating like a will-o’-the-wisp.

‘Your eyes give me the creeps whenever I look at them.’

What on earth are you thinking and what are your feelings?

It was a beautiful voice, as if jade beads were flowing, but all I could feel was a cold chill.

Athena looked back at her and gave a cold answer.

“Stay there. Because that helps.”

“Just stay here? why?”

“Because you are a disaster. “You shouldn’t come out.”

Pandora.

The first time I learned about her was through my uncle, Poseidon.

“The strongest woman in Olympus? “You still have a long way to go.”

“Hera? no. She’s scary too, but maybe in a hundred years you’ll catch up. “There is someone else who deserves the name ‘strongest woman.’”

Athena questioned Poseidon about her.

After repeating the question several times, Poseidon eventually answered Athena’s curiosity.

“Once upon a time, there was a ranker named Pandora. Although it has been forgotten for a long time.”

“Pandora?”

“Is this your first time hearing this name?”

“yes.”

“Please keep hoping you don’t hear it.”

“What kind of job is it?”

“Only Zeus knows about her. “Because he suddenly appeared one day and used scary abilities.”

The strongest female warrior in Olympus.

Athena, who had lived with that goal, went into prison to meet Pandora in person.

What crime was she in prison for and what powers did she have?

Without knowing all that, Athena headed to prison.

And the moment I meet Pandora there.

Athena vowed never to open the prison door again.

But…

‘I never thought my father would personally release the interest.’

In the end, disaster came out.

Zeus may have judged that he could handle it, but it felt like a burden to Athena.

Pandora.

That box was hiding a force that should never be opened.

“So, stay still until I give you instructions.”

“…Then you’re really taking me out now, right?”

“okay.”

Athena nodded her head weakly.

“Anyway, it’s what my father promised.”

“Father….”

Pandora remains silent, trailing off.

For a moment, Athena felt as if all the sounds in the world had disappeared.

“Zeus.”

The sound that had disappeared returned and Pandora’s voice resonated in my heart.

“Zeus Zeus Zeus…!”

Anger towards Zeus.

She screamed Zeus’s name in a fit of convulsions for a while. With that, an uncomfortable energy swirls around her and rises into the sky.

Athena hurriedly brought Aegis forward.

Even as a high ranker herself, her energy was burdensome.

‘It was a good thing we moved our troops early.’

It was because of Pandora that he moved quickly before the allies who fell from the ship could reorganize their lines.

If Pandora attacks our allies first, something big could happen.

‘An internal ally who cannot control his emotions is more dangerous than an enemy.’

Pandora’s energy was blocked by the Aegis’ protection and did not enter, but Athena stood there for a while and could not move.

So quickly.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

Like a bipolar person, Pandora lowered her head and hid her eyes.

The voice of Pandora, who repeatedly offered apples, came out.

“It’s my fault. So please take me out. Please…”

“…I understand.”

Athena bit her lip in frustration and glared at Pandora for a moment before turning around.

“Stay there until I call you.”

Swish-.

Only then did Athena finally approach Cheon Mujin.

The enemy you must face on this battlefield.

I couldn’t give up an opponent like that to Pandora.

Because while she was the strongest friend they brought with her, she was also the worst.

‘I cannot give in.’

This war is yours.

That’s how it should be, and that’s how it should be written.

Skak-.

sword and shield.

Athena crossed the two and rushed towards the Heavenly Demon Spirit.

* * *

The sun chariot passed several floors quickly.

Moving the fastest route, the sun chariot arrived at the center of the martial world.

It was Hapbi (合肥) where the Namgung family was located.

“It’s a long and dirty road. “It makes me seasick.”

Hargan, who had spent the night in a shaking carriage, began to complain.

It wasn’t because he was truly uncomfortable, but rather as a sort of pun to ease his nerves for the upcoming fight.

“Not much time left now.”

“okay. Yes, it seems. “Isn’t that Hapbi over there?”

“This is my first fight with Olympus.”

“It’s a fight that will start sometime anyway. “Let’s say we do it in advance.”

Fortunately, he didn’t seem too nervous.

In the rickety carriage, Hargan gathered his magic power and gradually found stability.

There was nothing else to bring other than two fists and gauntlets. Now was the time to find the right amount of tension and prepare for the fight.

Seeing Hargan closing his mouth again after a brief conversation, Yuwon turned his head and looked outside the carriage.

Direction from Hefei to Tianshan.

‘Soon, Cheonsan Mountain.’

Cheonsan is probably a battlefield by now.

The rankers of Olympus, led by Athena. Maybe there really is a Pandora.

‘Cheon Moo-jin will be able to get to Athena somehow. The problem is that there is Pandora….’

There was nothing that could be done right away.

For now, all I can do is picture the situation on Cheonsan Mountain in my head.

That was when Yuwon was looking in the direction of Cheonsan through the window outside the carriage.

[‘?’s egg’ shows its teeth.]

[‘?’s egg’ swallows his mouth.] [

‘?’s egg’ urges him to hurry.]

Yuwon was surprised by the unexpected message and was holding it against the window frame. I dropped my hand.

“…uh?”

Why is the egg suddenly reacting here?

Seeing as he was told to hurry, Al seemed to know the amusement park’s destination.

‘I have already obtained the Holy Fire that was in Heaven’s Mountain. There is no way the egg will respond to the Holy Fire now…’

There was only one thing to point out.

‘Is it Pandora?’
