Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 189
[Level Up with the Gods Episode 189]
* * *
Yuwon sat down on the half-broken chair that was rolling on the floor.
The same was true for Amaterasu.
The two people sat facing each other on uncomfortable chairs without a table.
There were dead bodies lying on the floor.
‘Amaterasu. Ranked 52nd. The owner of the Palcheok Gyeonggok Jade.’
Amaterasu was the center of the Three Noble Phantasms. As they were not a definite guild, they did not have the title of guild leader, but everyone who knew the Three Ghosts thought of Amaterasu as their leader.
Rumors about Amaterasu were abundant.
Things like being a young man or a very old man.
Among the countless rumors that were spread, there was no truth.
Because he didn’t show his real face.
“I don’t think I need to tell you why I looked for you.”
“Is it because of the three gods?”
“okay.”
Amaterasu asked without saying anything.
“Where is Yata’s mirror?”
It seemed quite urgent.
One of the three sacred weapons, the eight-pointed bead, was held by him, and the other, the sword of Kusanagi, was held by Susanoo.
So now there is only one remaining Samsinki.
Amaterasu was trying to suppress her overwhelming magic power and start a conversation.
but.
“I do not know either.”
As Yuwon continued to answer, Amaterasu’s magic eventually began to leak out.
Gugugugugu-.
Seaaaa-.
The bar building shakes to its roots and the air becomes hot.
Amaterasu was one of the highest rankers in this tower in terms of fire attribute magical power.
Naturally, Yuwon felt frustrated when his magic power was unleashed.
‘It’s breathtaking.’
Until now, Amaterasu had not particularly threatened Yuwon.
Now this was just a change in his mood.
I felt like I was looking down at hot lava.
It takes my breath away because I know its depth and danger.
“I don’t know?”
“I don’t know, so I’m looking for it. If I knew, would I be like this?”
Amaterasu thought for a moment and nodded.
“That’s right.”
“Is that all you have to do?”
“no. there’s more. How did you know there were three gods here? “What is the basis?”
“This is a test reward from the 43rd floor. Source: Administrator. “The information is clear.”
“manager?”
Black eyebrows twitch. I tried to determine the authenticity or accuracy of the information, but it was difficult to find out the authenticity.
What a manager.
If that was true, there was no need to worry about the accuracy of the information.
“I wonder. “I didn’t think I would say it so gently.”
“Because you know the best about the Three Gods.”
“Do you know who I am?”
“know. Amaterasu. “He is a high ranker of the Three Demons who possesses the Three Divine Powers.”
“You have a good eye for attention.”
“You said you wouldn’t show your face? “That face is not yours.”
Amaterasu was a ranker shrouded in mystery. But if you think about it another way, the veil was just like Amaterasu’s face.
“I heard that you won the fight against Ares, so it seems to be true.”
The fight between Yuwon and Ares was information that was kept secret even in Olympus. In Olympus, there was no need to notify players that the high ranker in the guild was broken, so they tried to hide it as much as possible.
However, as there were more than one person who was there, the guild, which had some level of information, already knew this.
“Well, it’s actually better. “The better you are, the easier it will be to find the Three Gods.”
“Are you going to take it away if I find it?”
“You stole it. “It was ours from the beginning.”
“You’ve never even held it in your hand, but you’re already pretending to be the owner?”
“If you have any complaints, speak up with your power. “Isn’t that the rule of this world?”
The method of the three ghosts was always the same.
freedom.
For them, freedom was the logic of power, and greater strength was needed to overcome it.
“But it’s strange.”
Amaterasu’s head tilted.
“Do you believe in the Heavenly Demon Church? Or do you just believe in my meager ability to defeat the likes of Ares?”
Grumbling-.
The air inside the bar turns hot. Miraculously, the tavern did not burn down. I could feel eyes on the flames everywhere.
“You have a bit of a cocky attitude.”
Are they trying to sort out the ranking?
Amaterasu stood up and, unlike the first time, approached Yuwon as if threatening him.
My throat, which felt like it was already blocked, became tighter and tighter.
The fire in the tavern caused the air to oxidize and the flames tightened around the amusement park as if they were alive.
‘It was a fight from the beginning…’
Yuwon did not get up from his seat.
This fight was not one involving swords and fists.
[‘Seonghwa’ resists ‘Sun Marks’.]
[‘Flower Eyes’ resists ‘Sun Marks’.] [‘
Clothes of the Four Great Spirits’ resists ‘Sun Marks’.]
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Yuwon’s skills and Amaterasu’s skills collided.
Yuwon was a chicken instead of a pheasant, and instead of a triangle, he was wearing the ‘Four Spirits Clothes’ that increased resistance to various attributes.
Of all the attributes, fire resistance was the area in which Yuwon was most confident.
Instead of avoiding or bowing, Yoo-won fights back.
‘Look at this guy.’
Amaterasu’s eyebrows twitched.
I knew he was quite capable, but I never thought he would resist this much.
‘Are you planning on resisting until the end?’
Amaterasu’s eyes sparkled.
He too had already grown too proud to step down.
Subdue.
The moment she made that decision, Amaterasu’s magical power became stronger.
Cheeeee-.
As the heat in the bar grew stronger, burn marks began to appear on Yuwon’s body.
[Failed to resist ‘Sunshine’.]
[Status condition: Burning begins.]
Pain from being burned by fire.
Amaterasu’s fire was as hot as I heard. Even though he hadn’t even taken out the Samshinki yet, it was enough to pierce Yuwon’s skills.
Wiggle-.
The maple tree in Yuwon’s arms wriggled to come out.
And that was then.
[The ‘predator’ shows his teeth.]
Cheok-.
A predator starting to open its mouth.
It seemed that Yuwon had decided that he was in danger and was gradually revealing himself.
‘no.’
closely-.
Yuwon caught the predator trying to get out on its own with the leaves.
‘Not now.’
Even if there was a fight, there was no need to reveal all of one’s strengths.
This wasn’t a fight worth it.
‘This fight must be lost.’
That was the reason for fighting a battle that could not be won in the first place.
Cheeeee-.
[Status abnormality: Burns rise to level 2.]
The burns become worse and the skin begins to feel like it is melting.
“As long as there is a clue to the Three Gods, Amaterasu will not be able to go to the end.”
The guild that had been fighting with the Three Demons the longest was Asgard.
Odin had fought with Amaterasu for a long time, so he also knew how obsessed she was with the Three Gods.
In fact, Amaterasu, who once gathered all three divine powers, reached a high ranking of the top 10.
‘Even if you kill me, it will be after you find Yata’s mirror.’
Yuwon was the only one who got a clue about the Three Gods through the manager.
To Amaterasu, who had been looking for Yata’s mirror for a long time, Yuwon was a being that could never be killed.
“Hand over the clues you know. “Then you will live.”
Pajijik padit-.
A penalty began to flow through Amaterasu’s body.
But he didn’t care about that. In the first place, since the Yuwon was raised to the 44th floor, the gap between floors was not large, so the penalty was quite weak.
For Amaterasu, a high ranker in the top 50, this level of penalty was not a big burden.
“You can’t help but get over all of this if it’s cooperation. “I am the only one who suffers too much.”
“It’s mine anyway. “If you get the mirror, I will take it from you, even if it means wiping out the entire Heavenly Demon Church.”
“Is the Heavenly Demon Church the only one behind me?”
“You are not in any guild. To that extent…”
Amaterasu’s eyes narrowed.
It was because of the badge Yuwon took out.
Hwaak-.
The heat that filled the bar disappeared in an instant.
The magic power that seemed like it was about to explode just a moment ago has calmed down.
“Did you believe in Asgard?”
A golden castle token.
It was a precious item that even Asgardian players could not have.
A gift given to special guests recognized by Odin.
A kind of invitation.
As long as it was in Yuwon’s hands, Amaterasu couldn’t help but think about Yuwon’s relationship with Asgard.
‘It gets annoying when Asgard is behind you. I can’t kill this guy now, and it’s difficult to forcefully obtain information like this…’
There was only one way.
“Yata’s mirror cannot be compromised.”
Negotiation.
Amaterasu no longer viewed the Yuwon in front of her as an opponent who would forcibly take something from her.
It took a little cooperation to get what we truly wanted.
“Tell me what you want.”
“Can you give me something comparable to the Three Gods?”
“I will kill a hundred people you want. In the meantime, I will be your sword.”
It was a pretty attractive offer.
No amount of valuable items or points could buy a top-tier high-ranker like Amaterasu.
This is a condition that anyone who knows the value of a high ranker cannot help but be tempted by.
Yuwon pondered for a moment and asked.
“Is it possible to save someone’s life instead of killing them?”
“Instead, count the number of people saved as ten. “I hate that kind of thing.”
“Does not matter. Then accept it.”
“Well thought out.”
Amaterasu extended her hand to Yuwon.
The two held hands with different intentions.
* * *
Amaterasu joined hands with Yuwon.
Yuwon conveyed the minimum amount of information to Amaterasu. Anything more than that was kept hidden.
Amaterasu left the scene soon after.
When Yoo-won returned to the dorm, the spirit that had been squirming a while ago spoke to him.
-Do you believe that?
Susanoo.
It had been a long time since he opened his mouth. Perhaps thanks to earning the title ‘King of the Dead’, Yuwon was able to hear the sounds of spirits even when he was not in Quine.
“no. “I don’t believe it.”
-And yet you held my hand?
“Is there any reason not to catch it? “He and I both wear masks.”
They are held together by necessity with different purposes.
That’s why Yuwon had no hesitation in holding his hand.
Susanoo realized what he had been doing until now through this meeting between Yuwon and Amaterasu.
-You called that guy on purpose. With the virtual bait called Samshingi.
The three gods were tasty bait to draw out the three ghosts.
Even with the excuse of being an administrator, he went looking for Samsingi for 10 days.
It was all for this meeting.
-What do you want? Are you thinking about something bigger this time, like when you destroyed Olympus?
Samshingi is like the long-cherished wish of the Three Ghosts. The fact that they were looking for the Three Gods was a fact known to all players who had some knowledge of the world.
Therefore, Susanoo thought that Yuwon had spread the Three Gods as bait to draw them out.
What kind of picture is Yuwon drawing?
As he planned to destroy Olympus, Yuwon must be drawing a big picture again.
however.
“There is one thing wrong.”
Although Susanoo had been watching everything right next to him, he did not know everything.
-Wrong?
“Fishing without bait is bound to fail.”
Susanoo’s soul was shaken violently by Yuwon’s answer
. Then, it couldn’t be…
It’s not fishing without bait.
That meant only one thing.
-Is Yata’s mirror really there?
