Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 170
[Level Up with God Episode 170]
A heavenly mountain without a sacred fire.
The only thing that could be guessed was that there existed nothing other than Pandora.
How Pandora disappeared was a blank page of information about her, and nothing was known about the background of her birth.
‘It’s just a guess now, but…’
[‘???’s egg’ urges you.]
‘It doesn’t really matter.’
This message was different from mere guesswork.
The fact that Al reacted means that the traces of the outer are now where he is heading.
As long as I checked the message anyway, it didn’t matter whether the target was Pandora or Panda.
‘Now there’s really little left.’
I felt confident.
It’s a bit faster than expected, but I’m confident that the egg will hatch this time.
Maybe it could be the end of the first half of one’s life, returning to the past.
“Are you hungry?”
[‘???’s Al’ nods.]
“So, are you coming?”
Yuwon lifted the corners of his mouth and smiled.
It’s coming soon.
“I’ll fill you up in a little while.”
You will soon be able to meet the guy inside.
Thinking like that, Yuwon looked outside the sun carriage.
And then.
“Who are you talking to?”
“….”
Hargan’s voice stuck in the back of Yuwon’s head.
In his eyes, it looked like Yuwon was talking to himself into the air.
* * *
Jiiiiiiing-.
Two hit!
One of the peaks of Heavenly Mountain was cut off due to the impact of the encounter between the Heavenly Demon Spirit’s sword and the Aegis.
It wasn’t even a sword swing, it was just a sword strike that bounced off the shield.
Ji-Ik-.
Athena, who was thrown and flew to the ground, placed her hands on the floor to cushion the impact.
When I hurriedly raised my head, the sword of the Heavenly Demon Spirit was falling down.
Skak-.
Jjoaaaaaaaaaa!
A land split open by a sword.
Athena’s sword twisted the trajectory of the sword swung by the Heavenly Demon Spirit. Athena quickly jumped to her feet and widened the distance between herself and the Heavenly Demon Spirit.
‘fast.’
Because it was so big, I thought it would naturally be slow.
It is difficult to imagine developing skills on that scale at such a fast pace.
But Cheonmaryeong was different.
‘A giant figure made from a mass of mana that moves according to the user’s movements. Of course, its speed is no different from that of the Heavenly Demon.’
As Cheon Mu-jin’s eyes quickly followed Athena, Cheon Demon Spirit’s sword moved quickly again. Athena raised the Aegis to block it and let it go, narrowing the distance again.
Within that narrowed distance.
“You’re not the only one attacking.”
Buuung-.
The Aegis of Athena stretched forward and struck the Heavenly Demon Spirit in the abdomen.
Yep-!
Guuuuung-.
A shock strong enough to shake the heavens.
As the Cheonmaryeong’s body shook, Cheonmujin’s mana, which maintained the Cheonmaryeong, also shook.
And without missing that brief moment, Athena threw away the spear she was holding in her other hand.
Two hit!
A spear fired at Cheon Mu-jin.
It blew away one of the peaks of Tian Shan.
But unfortunately, like Athena, Cheon Mu-jin had raised his sword and sent the spear’s path away.
“Not one.”
Giiing-.
Thousands of spear knives appeared in the sky.
In a narrow street.
Athena went on the offensive for the first time since the fight began.
Clap la la rock-.
Puff puff puff puck!
A hole began to form in the huge Heavenly Mountain.
Cheon Moo-jin, who had been dodging the attack by stepping on a step, glanced at his crumbling foundation and muttered.
“…It doesn’t look very nice.”
The land is becoming a wasteland.
Cheonmujin’s Cheonma-ryeong, who saw this in his eyes, took his stance again.
Gugugugugu-.
The sword of the Heavenly Demon Spirit rising into the sky.
Snap-!
The sword moves again and begins to unite with Athena.
Tsk tsk tsk-!
Gigikigeek paang-!
Spears and swords colliding and breaking.
Athena charges towards Cheon Mu-jin, catching the Cheon Demon Spirit’s sword with the unbreakable Aegis.
Hermes and the warriors of Olympus, the Heavenly Demon God, who fly here and there in the sky, fighting against the four Heavenly Lords.
Pandora sat quietly as Athena commanded and took in the sight.
at that time.
Shhh-.
Tuk Touk-.
Someone’s corpse flew in from afar.
The body, which appears to be that of an Olympus player, did not appear to have been dead for very long.
That was the beginning.
Pandora’s perspective on the battlefield has changed.
Aaaah-!
I’m dying!
This way! this way!
Stop for a moment…!
Plop plop-.
Grumbling, puff, puff, boom!
The sound of stabbing, cutting, burning and dying.
All kinds of emotions, such as the fear of death and the anger of murder, appeared scattered like fireflies in Pandora’s eyes.
Sigh-.
Pandora stood up.
Without realizing it, my body started moving on its own.
“Ah…”
She stretched out her hand towards the fireflies scattered in front of her.
It was a corpse, but it looked more beautiful than anything else in her eyes.
“This was it…”
A long time ago.
A box given by Zeus came to mind.
-This is my gift to you, Pandora.
-But you must not open this box. Never, no matter what.
When you give a box as a gift, you’re not supposed to open it.
At first she thought Zeus was making fun of her. However, she accepted Zeus’ gift and completely forgot about the box.
It was after quite some time.
He came up with that box to survive from a ranker who killed his family.
‘Inside…’
In the end, Pandora opened the box.
And after that.
‘They came out.’
I was able to see that sparkling light.
Jeopuk-.
Pandora walked towards the battlefield.
Just one step in this wide battlefield.
However, there were three people who turned their heads at that one step.
“Pandora?”
“Oh my….”
Athena and Hermes.
and-.
“…Who is it?”
Cheon Moo-jin.
With just one step, the three people noticed Pandora’s presence.
As the fight between Athena and Cheon Mujin entered a lull, there was an illusion that the battlefield had stopped for a moment.
“What did you bring?”
Cheon Mu-jin, who lifted the Cheon Demon Spirit, glared at Athena floating in the sky.
A presence felt far below Mt. Cheonsan.
Cheon Mujin felt that single presence was more dangerous than anything else on this battlefield.
and.
‘Pandora has moved.’
Sigh-.
Athena looked at Pandora’s appearance through the inner surface of the Aegis.
Pandora began to walk slowly.
Although it wasn’t that fast, it didn’t seem like it took that long for her to arrive at this battlefield.
Moreover, at first glance, it seemed like the steps were getting faster little by little.
‘When she arrives on the battlefield… our troops are annihilated.’
Of course, that would be the same for the Church of the Heavenly Demon.
The only ones who survive are probably myself and Hermes Cheon Mu-jin.
And that is a result that is neither victory nor defeat. That was not the result Athena wanted.
‘What should I do now…’
When Athena was conflicted about the existence of Pandora.
Another familiar face was reflected on the inner surface of the Aigis.
“…You’re here.”
* * *
Jeopuk-.
Pandora’s steps became faster.
Moving from the half-wrecked ship, she soon reached the beginning of the battlefield.
Then several players spotted her and approached her.
“Are you a player from Olympus?”
The uniforms of the martial arts players and Olympus players were different.
They thought Pandora was a player from Olympus, reprimanded her for joining so late, and inspected her outfit.
“You’re not fully armed yet.”
“Punishment will come later. “We are in a battle right now.”
“Hey you! Come quickly and get your equipment. Or maybe it’s the auxiliary world?”
“Either way….”
“You guys-.”
Pandora’s eyes scanned the players gathered around her.
“It’s very scary.”
Even though they heard the same words, the expressions on the five players’ faces were surprisingly different.
Some people averted their eyes as if they were stabbed, while others blushed as if they were angry.
Also, someone lowered their head as if they were embarrassed.
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about being scary….”
Creepy-.
A strange feeling running down my spine.
Only then did the five players’ expressions become the same. Their faces turned blue, their eyes widened as if torn apart, and their bodies began to tremble.
“Look at that.”
Wow-.
Someone started strangling him.
“It’s scary.”
“Kkeok kkeok kkeok….”
Players strangling themselves.
One of them stabbed himself in the heart with a knife he was holding. The player, whose heart was pierced in an instant, fell to the floor.
Five suicides that happened in an instant.
Pandora looked at that figure and started walking again.
No, I tried to move it.
“How far are you going to go at that slow pace?”
A voice came from behind.
Pandora’s head turned. She could see both their faces.
“Stay here. “If I go there, there’s nothing fun.”
Yuwon and Hargan.
Two people came down from the sun chariot and landed behind Pandora.
‘It was real.’
Yuwon looked at Pandora’s face.
It was a beautiful face.
Pandora’s appearance shined so brightly that I wondered how many times I would see it in my lifetime.
But that wasn’t the only reason.
There was another reason why Yuwon was immediately convinced that she was Pandora the moment he saw her.
‘The ability to maximize all negative emotions around you. It’s just as I heard.’
These unpleasant feelings writhing in my chest.
All the unpleasant emotions he could think of writhed as if they would explode at any moment.
It was similar to Pandora’s ability that Yuwon knew. She was maximizing all the negative emotions around her.
And it was merely an ability that Pandora exuded naturally, like breathing.
“It’s really annoying. “What is this guy doing?”
Hargan also suffers within the scope of his abilities.
Fortunately, unlike the players who had just committed suicide, Hargan did not commit suicide right away.
Although the floor level was not that high yet, Hargan also had as high a mental power as most rankers.
Hargan looks at Pandora with a bad look on his face.
“Zeus…”
Pandora also found Hargan behind the amusement park.
“Zeus?”
A face that resembles Zeus more than anyone else.
Upon discovering Hargan, Pandora’s body became as hard as wood or stone.
Whether intentional or not, Pandora stopped moving. Yuwon glanced back at Hargan.
“Hargan.”
“huh?”
“Go to Heavenly Mountain and help the religious leader. “Don’t be too close here.”
Originally, I would have insisted on fighting together.
But I couldn’t do that this time.
“okay. “I think it has to be that way.”
Hargan’s gaze turned to the corpses of the players who had taken their own lives.
“It’s a bit dangerous for me too.”
Pandora’s influence was growing stronger even at this moment. It was safer to get away from her as quickly as possible.
Staggering, Hargan went around Pandora and passed him down the street. Pandora’s eyes followed him, but she soon turned her head again and looked at Yuwon.
“But the instincts still remain.”
Before I knew it, Yoo Won was holding out his sword.
If Pandora’s head hadn’t turned back just now, she might have tried to cut off her head with a single sword.
“The table was roughly laid….”
At Yuwon’s feet.
Cheok-.
[‘???’s egg’ opens its mouth.]
The egg, which is close to hatching, has begun to reveal its first teeth.
“The meal is starting.”
