Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 258
[Level Up with God Episode 258]
* * *
“I did it in the end.”
“I knew this guy would be like this.”
“I guess I quite liked it. “Let’s fight first.”
The demon kings who followed Diablo and Yuwon whispered as they watched the ground slowly turning red.
The fact that the ground turned red meant that Diablo’s magic power had begun to move.
And that also meant that Diablo was taking this fight quite seriously.
“But why is Diablo so interested in that guy?”
“Isn’t it because of King Taktap Cheonwang?”
Taktap Heavenly King.
Is it because he is a fairly old high ranker and has a track record of being active in the Heavenly Demon War a long time ago?
or not.
“Does he really believe that rumor?”
Astaroth, who was defeated by Taktap Heavenly King in that fight, accepted those words most sensitively.
I can’t believe that Taktap Heavenly King, who is no one else, was defeated by a kid like that.
I thought it didn’t make sense.
“I heard there was some kind of connection during the exam.”
“On the test?”
“Aha, then did they give you that horn too?”
The reason why Diablo is interested in Yuwon.
It was a long time ago, but the reason needed to be confirmed from now on.
The attention of the demon kings was drawn.
The fight between Diablo and Yuwon began to unfold in the distance.
The mouths of the Demon Lords, who were watching the fight with their arms crossed, slowly opened.
“…What are you doing, you bastard?”
* * *
[The power of the giant resides in the entire body.]
[The complete power of the giant resides in the arms.]
Hwaaaah-.
Yuwon’s hand stretched forward.
The hand that was reaching towards Diablo’s head was blocked in the middle.
Kwaaaaak-.
My hand got stuck in the middle.
Tendons sprouted on Diablo’s arm as he grabbed Yuwon’s hand.
“Look at this guy?”
Twisting eyebrows.
I tried to throw my body away, but it wouldn’t move easily.
How strong are your arms?
It seemed like it was because of the unusual flow of mana flowing through my arms.
“Is it a giant?”
Giantification.
Hercules’ unique skill, which is said to have the highest strength level in this tower.
Perhaps thanks to that skill, Yuwon’s arm was no less powerful than Diablo’s.
And while Yuwon was wasting time like that.
Shukat-.
I felt a sharp anticipation on the back of my neck.
A bright red line is drawn in the air.
At the same time, Diablo’s remaining hand stretched out toward the line.
Tsk-!
Arms and swords clashed.
Susanoo’s Kusanagi created a small mark on Diablo’s arm.
Susanoo’s eyes sparkled.
-You have an incredibly strong body.
Sssssut-.
It was the same no matter how much I swung Kusanagi’s sword.
Not very fast speed.
no.
The movement was so slow that it seemed dull considering the name Diablo.
Nevertheless, Susanoo’s sword was unable to leave a proper wound on Diablo’s body.
“It’s a shame to be called a ghost.”
Kuuuk-.
Diablo’s hands grew stronger.
“Just being fast is not a good thing.”
Susanoo, feeling threatened, quickly launched himself upward.
And that moment.
-…!
Diablo’s fist reached towards Susanoo’s head.
Whoa!
Pow-!
Susanoo’s upper body was destroyed with a single punch.
Diablo grinned as he watched Susanoo disappear into a shadow.
“It’s more important to be accurate and strong than to be fast.”
Cluck cluck cluck-.
Diablo looked back at Yuwon, who was still holding hands.
“Isn’t that so?”
“Think whatever you want.”
Thump-!
Their fists hit each other’s faces.
A blue light emanated from the heart of Uranus, which was wrapping Yuwon’s hand.
[‘The protection of the sea’ dwells in the body.]
[‘The protection of the sea’ protects the body.]
Magical power that covers the body.
But that too was nothing more than a thin piece of cloth in front of Diablo’s fist.
“Skills aren’t the same.”
Wow-.
Strength goes into my hands.
Kwaang-!
Giiiiiiing-.
‘The protection of the sea’ is broken. When the armor protecting my body disappeared, I felt like I was standing naked on a battlefield.
But I didn’t think I could last long with something like this anyway.
I support you!
Electricity began to erupt from the joined hands.
A jet of black electricity erupted, and at the same time, Yuwon’s fist hit Diablo’s face.
Kwaang-!
My head turned to the side.
Diablo, who looked slightly surprised, grinned.
“He’s tougher than he looks.”
Boom boom boom!
The distance is such that even swinging a sword is impossible.
Bruises and open wounds appeared one after another on Yuwon’s face. A jet of black electricity exploded, and the fist hit Diablo’s face, and then Diablo’s fist came back again and again.
“He’s really tough.”
“You have a lot of tenacity.”
“Like it.”
“cancer. “That’s how fighting should be.”
Demon kings with satisfied faces.
Pluton, who had voted against it, also gradually began to show interest in Yuwon.
“…He was a hot guy.”
Kwarung-!
Yuwon’s fist hit Diablo’s forehead again.
Beetle-.
My body started shaking.
As they exchanged fists from the front, Yuwon’s stamina was slowly showing its depletion.
At that moment, Diablo, who was about to extend his fist again, stopped moving.
“Why don’t you give up soon?”
Sigh-.
Diablo withdrew his fist and touched his face with his finger.
“I think this is enough.”
Torn and open wounds.
Yuwon was not the only one who suffered damage. Diablo’s lips and skin, which had not been injured by Susanoo’s sword, were burst and bleeding.
“Is that so…?”
Yuwon’s grip, which had been staggering, loosened.
Covering his face with one hand, Yuwon tried not to lose his mind.
How much did your head shake?
Knock-.
Cracks appear as if the ground the two people were standing on will collapse at any moment.
Diablo asked as if he was dumbfounded, looking down at Yuwon, who was sitting there resting.
“Why did you do that?”
“what.”
“It doesn’t seem like he likes fighting like this.”
In the first place, Yuwon’s fighting style was completely different from Diablo.
Unlike Diablo, who ignorantly relied on his hard and strong body to engage in close combat, Yuwon preferred mid- and long-distance combat.
Even if you are a low-level player, you can see how important distance is in a fight.
However, Yuwon came into Diablo’s streets and exchanged fists.
“It’s not a fight where the goal is to win anyway…”
Tuk-tuk-.
Yuwon hit his face with his fist.
“If you want to be sure, this is the faster way.”
Sigh-.
Diablo stroked his face with the back of his hand.
Blood comes out. That meant that Yuwon had met the conditions he had set out in the first place.
But it seemed like that wasn’t the only reason.
Diablo turned his head and looked at the other Demon Lords far away.
Different looks from the first time.
Now I think I understand why Yuwon had such an ignorant fight.
“It was just a show.”
Yuwon can’t win against himself anyway.
No matter what method was used, the result was already decided.
Therefore, what was important to Yuwon was the ‘process’, not the result.
“Everyone was so smitten.”
Diablo was convinced when he saw the satisfaction on Yuwon’s face.
Even in this fight, Yuwon got what he wanted.
In reality, Yuwon’s intention was to gain the favor of other demon kings.
‘If you bring in Diablo, you’ve brought in half of the devil. To put it the other way around…’
Yuwon’s eyes turned to the demon kings gathered together.
‘It means we’re only halfway through it.’
In the end, the core of Yuwon’s job is to preserve the tower’s power.
And the Demon King, a tribal guild, had the greatest power among the large guilds.
Demon.
After going through Ragnarok and winning the Battle of Heavenly Demon, their strength drops by half.
Although they were much better than the completely extinct angel race, it was clear that their power was falling to the ground.
‘Through this process of fighting, we make the Demon King our ally. In addition, I got the opportunity to ask Diablo for a favor…’
The results weren’t too bad compared to the time invested.
Just one thing.
‘It’s a shame.’
Glancing-.
Yuwon’s eyes turned to Diablo’s hand stretched out towards him.
‘I was curious how far I could reach if I did it right.’
Diablo had physical durability comparable to that of Hercules.
Even though he did not incarnate in his original body, fighting against Diablo in close combat was a fight at a disadvantage to Yuwon.
However, if the fight had been fought at medium or long distances like Yuwon’s original fighting style.
Wow-.
Yuwon stood up holding hands and looked at Diablo’s face.
‘If I had done that, I would have been able to see the body.’
Yuwon recalled Diablo’s main body, which had two huge horns and was spouting huge flames.
Still couldn’t reach it.
The high rankers in the top 20 were difficult for the current Yuwon to even look at.
‘It’s still greed.’
For now, I have to be satisfied with just inflicting damage on his body.
Now, before Ragnarok.
Because there were still opportunities for further growth.
‘Anyway, this roughly completes the preparation.’
yes-.
At that moment, the player kit rang.
Yuwon nodded after checking the message that had arrived.
‘Ragnarok has begun.’
[Hercules: Escape was successful.]
* * *
Boggle-.
The lava is boiling.
A foolish chaos came towards Surtur, who became even redder.
“Did you hear?”
“okay.”
Surtur nodded and his eyelids opened.
Even so, the body of the subordinate who brought the news was torn to shreds.
“Jecheon Daeseong has escaped.”
“The giant slayer was also there.”
“You mean Hercules?”
Hercules, the giant slayer.
He had recently taken the lead in destroying Olympus, driven out Zeus, and had risen several levels in the rankings.
The ranking soared to 18th place.
However, the giants were more afraid of Hercules than his visible ranking.
“I heard a lot of rumors. How dare you call us giants’ natural enemies.”
The giants who participated in Gigantomachia were a different type of giant than the giants of Muspelheim.
Unlike the ordinary giants, the giants of Muspelheim were a race that inherited the blood of demons.
In other words, they could be said to be demons within the giant race.
“It’s strange. Why are those two, who have nothing to do with what you said, now showing interest in Ragnarok?…”
Boggle-.
The end of Surtur’s words wavered, and the seething lava slowly gathered around the foolish chaos.
At the same time, Surtur’s pitch-black eyes reflected foolish confusion.
“The reason I trusted you was because of that one little thing. But that trust is slowly breaking down.”
“Don’t worry too much. A few giants dying won’t be that big of a factor.”
“That will have to do.”
“Then I will tell you what you should do from now on.”
Foolish Chaos was redrawn based on the flow that would change due to the joining of Son Goku and Hercules.
but.
‘This makes it clear.’
Despite this, I couldn’t shake off the uncomfortable feeling.
Pieces starting to fall apart.
This was the case with the appearance of Jecheon Daeseong and Hercules.
‘Someone over there is one step ahead of me.’
