Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 171
[Level Up with the Gods Episode 171]
* * *
Jeok-.
Al showed his teeth.
It was a first time.
I can’t believe this lazy guy who doesn’t know how to do anything other than eat shows up first.
‘Is it that urgent?’
Anyway, from Yuwon’s perspective, there was nothing bad.
The fight will be much easier with Al’s help.
Moreover, I wonder what will happen if he joins the fight…
“Huh?”
Slur-.
Teeth disappearing again.
The mouth closed and Al became so quiet that he could not even hear his breathing again.
Well then.
He didn’t think that a thing that hadn’t even hatched yet would take the initiative to help him.
It was impossible to have unreasonable expectations.
‘Let’s see what comes out.’
When Yuwon was feeling both disappointment and determination.
“You…”
Pandora opened her mouth as she looked at Yuwon for the first time.
“Are you feeling anxious?”
I’m crying-.
I felt bad for no reason.
I felt like this was the first time in my life that I felt like shit like this.
I felt like my own voice was echoing in my head.
-You know you can’t win anyway, right?
-It’s all in vain. Everyone is going to die anyway.
-Why don’t you give up? Why do I have to go through all this trouble?
Negative thoughts that were hidden in your mind.
It was only a small amount of dust compared to the rest of the amusement park, but emotions inherently have no fixed size.
The only way to suppress the emotions that grew in size in an instant was to have a strong mind.
“Why are you blocking it?”
Pandora’s question.
Yuwon responded by injecting magical energy into the quine in his hand.
“Because your existence is harmful to us.”
“you?”
I don’t know anything at all.
From that reaction, Yuwon realized that Pandora was different from a simple outerwear.
‘Is this guy also one of the seeds?’
Stupid chaos.
An outerwear that has existed in the tower for an unknown time.
Pandora was like Lancelot.
The only other thing is that the Pandora in front of you has a hidden piece of it that is much larger than the power of the Outerwear implanted in Lancelot’s body.
‘First of all, I started a fight…’
Yuwon looked at Pandora’s gradually distorted expression.
I have experienced many fights with Outers.
Therefore, Yuwon clearly knew how dangerous the energy he felt from her was.
‘For now, take it lightly-.’
Pajijijik-.
A black electric shock appears in the hand.
[‘Thunderbolt Piece’ reacts with ‘Quinee’.]
A thunderbolt shot out from Yuwon’s hand.
Kwarung-!
I support you!
Electricity rose upward to where Pandora was. A single thunderbolt swallowed up the energy surrounding Pandora and turned the surrounding area into a wasteland.
“Is it okay to greet you like this?”
Slurrr-.
A sudden surge of electricity suddenly disappears. Yuwon sighed as he looked at Pandora, who appeared from the blackened lightning.
“There is no way.”
Pandora’s abilities grow stronger by eating emotions.
And only negative emotions become her strength.
And this is a battlefield.
A place where negative emotions are bound to be heightened more than any other place.
Everyone has a fear of death, and it all becomes Pandora’s power.
Skak-.
It’s so scary!
Magical power emanates from Quinae.
He swung the drawn sword at Pandora’s neck.
Giiing-.
The sword was thrown back by an invisible force. I tried to use force to cut it, but I felt my grip weaken for a moment due to the unpleasant feeling that was throbbing inside me.
Hiss-.
Pandora’s hand stretched forward.
Sigh-.
The force of the grip on the nape of my neck was constricting my breathing. The body overcame gravity, floated upward, and was thrown down.
Kwaang-!
Card slam –
I was thrown deep into the ground and felt a shock to my back.
I felt dazed for a moment.
“Wow…”
It was only for a moment, but there was only one thing I felt during the fight with Pandora.
“Sene.”
Considering Pandora’s performance in the 2nd Gigantomachia, this may be a natural skill.
Although I had prepared for that, I couldn’t help but sigh when I realized the difference in power.
A body buried in the ground.
Outside, he felt Pandora walking towards him.
This situation was not unfamiliar.
‘This is what happened in the fight with Chryses.’
This was before I got my hands on the Black God Stone.
But even then, the fight ultimately ended in a draw.
I had to think of it.
How to win the fight against Pandora.
‘Help me too, you too.’
[‘Al of ???’ shakes his head.]
‘Damn you.’
Yuwon cursed internally at the firm answer.
He was a very unhelpful guy.
There was no need for persuasion. He’s a self-indulgent guy anyway, so there’s no way he’ll listen to me.
I had to choose another way.
Jeopuk-.
The sound of Pandora’s footsteps got closer.
At the same time, the unpleasant emotions that were boiling in my heart began to rage even more.
‘I think I know why he committed suicide.’
I felt like I wanted to hit them all and stab my uvula with a knife.
This feeling could not be regarded as mere irritation. The term ‘condition’ didn’t exist for nothing.
‘Pandora’s ranking during her active years was higher than Athena. ‘Now is no different from then, so there is no answer to a head-to-head fight.’
Yuwon stood up.
There was little time to think. The distance from Pandora has become closer.
[‘Magic Energy’ is activated.]
[‘Thunderbolt Piece’ reacts with ‘Quinee’.]
[‘Fire Eye’ is activated.]
[‘Sense Zone’ is activated.]
This fight takes place after the regression. The odds of winning were lower than any other fight, but it was a fight that had to be won more than any other fight.
Unintentional fight.
Therefore, it was a fight that would have been a more worthwhile victory.
‘Should we take him out? If possible, I’d like to keep it hidden until the fight with the Three Ghosts…’
A battlefield with many eyes watching.
Yuwon, who had to look farther away, couldn’t use all the cards he had.
Of course, if it was difficult, we couldn’t just hide it, but we had to try to win with as few losses as possible.
‘We need to find another breakthrough.’
When I tried to think and act at the same time.
“Why are you trying to kill me?”
Pandora’s voice was heard trembling on the ground.
“why? What did I do wrong? why? why?”
A voice full of resentment, as if it had been wronged.
It was amazing how so many emotions were contained in one person’s voice.
Anger, resentment, loneliness, fear….
Pandora was a huge mass made up of all negative emotions.
‘for a moment.’
It was then.
One thing I had forgotten flashed in my mind.
[Activates ‘Sky Step’.]
[Movement speed increases by 100% for 5 seconds.]
[You can step on the sky for 5 seconds.]
After stepping on the air a few times, Yuwon instantly rose to the sky.
Pandora’s gaze looked up and their eyes met.
Eyes where all kinds of thoughts are mixed together in a complicated way.
‘there was.’
The moment Yuwon saw those eyes, he was convinced.
‘A breakthrough.’
The duration of Skywalk, a skill attached to Hermes’ Step, is about 3 seconds.
That amount of time was enough to check.
Pot-.
Lightly stepping into the air.
Pandora turned her head to see Yuwon. It was then that a purple flame came into Pandora’s vision as she rolled her eyes in search of Yuwon, who had disappeared in an instant.
Grumbling-.
“uh…?”
Eyes getting bigger.
What she saw was not just a simple fire.
“Kyaaa ah-!”
Whoops-!
The tip of the sword cuts off Pandora’s head. Yuwon felt a tingling sensation in his fingertips along with a sound as if he was hitting metal.
Fit-.
The cut area was small and the depth of the wound was shallow.
hard.
Not only did she have the ability to control her emotions, but her physical ability was already as good as that of most high rankers.
‘What is the physical stamina stat?’
Physical strength is the basis of physical ability.
Considering that she did not use any special skills, this hardness must have come solely from her stats.
At this point, Pandora had a body so strong that Yuwon could not easily pierce it with a sword.
‘But obviously…’
There was almost no impact from the sword. However, the burns occurring on Pandora’s skin were clearly caused by sexual fire.
‘There is damage.’
There is no damage from the sword, but there is damage from fire.
It was a natural result.
‘This is the essence of sanctification.’
Seonghwa is a monster that grows by eating the other person’s emotions.
And in that respect, Seonghwa had the worst compatibility with Pandora.
[Seonghwa’s proficiency increases by 0.21%.]
[Seonghwa’s proficiency increases by 0.38%.]
[Seonghwa’s proficiency….]
The proficiency increases rapidly.
As Seonghwa’s skill rank was high, his skill level also barely increased. Even if it went up a little, it was only about 0.01%, but it was so small that it didn’t matter.
The skill level raised that way is about 5%.
But at this moment, Seonghwa’s skill level has risen at a rapid rate that can be said to be a leap forward.
And accordingly.
Hwareuk, Hwareuk, Hwareuk-.
It is only natural that the flame of the torch gets stronger.
Just as a small cigarette fire spreads throughout the forest using dry twigs as firewood, the flame emitted by Yu-won fiercely wrapped around the two people.
“Ah, ah….”
Pandora’s eyes shook violently.
A battlefield overflowing with all kinds of negative emotions.
A huge flame engulfing countless fireflies that were visible to her eyes.
“Disappear, disappear!”
It’s a disaster.
Pandora waved her hand blindly toward the flames, which were gradually narrowing their range.
But it was nothing more than a struggle due to fear.
Cheeeee-.
Hwareuk hwaaaaaaaaaaa!
Once the fire started in the body, it was not easy to put out.
No, in the first place, Seonghwa was a fire that would never go out until Yuwon’s power ran out.
The heat was hot enough to burn Pandora’s body.
“Aaaahhh!”
Pandora screamed in pain from the fire on her body.
Negative emotions were the source of Pandora’s power.
The stronger that feeling becomes, the stronger she becomes and the stronger the influence she can exert on those around her.
But that was the problem.
Seonghwa is a spark that feeds on those emotions and grows.
She had turned herself into a huge firewood without even realizing it.
‘I never thought a skill that didn’t work well with Ares could be used in this way.’
Skills that were useful in fighting against the relatively weak majority were used against the strongest and most difficult individuals.
no.
Now that his skill level has increased, he will probably be able to exert much greater power than before, even without Pandora.
“Is it over soon?”
Pandora burning brightly in flames.
It was the moment her knees buckled.
[‘???’s egg’ is drooling.]
A message from a guy who was waiting for his prey to weaken.
“You have to go so far as to spoon-feed them.”
I feel like raising a lazy child.
“This time, I really prepared everything.”
Cheok-.
A mouth much larger than before opened beneath the ground where Pandora was standing.
A hundred mouths and hundreds of teeth.
Yuwon nodded at the bigger guy.
“Eat it up.”
Kwasik-!
