Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 268
[Level Up with God Episode 268]
* * *
Surtur climbed up the rocky mountain and sat with his chin resting.
A tall mountain that feels like a small chair. When he climbed up and sat down, the rocky mountain instantly turned into a blazing volcano.
When I raised my head slightly, I saw a red dragon at the end of my gaze.
“Vritra…”
Surtur’s brow furrowed.
Why is that guy here?
There was no reason for the dragon clan to help him. It wasn’t like there wasn’t a whole lot to guess.
-I’ll stop Odin’s movements for a while. But now the only thing left to do is the fall of Muspelheim.
Stupid chaos.
It was that guy’s doing.
“Is this what it means to gain time?”
Vritra was the highest-ranking individual among the dragon race.
Even if he was Odin, he wouldn’t be able to kill him that easily.
Moreover, hundreds of Leviathan were not enough to stop Odin’s army.
thud-.
Footsteps felt from behind.
Surtur stood on the mountain and turned his head.
I said I felt something unusual, and I knew it the moment I saw it.
“It’s you.”
It’s so big that you might think it’s a young giant.
A man trudging along with a lion skin on his head.
“A guy with the arrogant name of Giant Slayer.”
Hercules came and stood in front of Surtur.
“I’ve never called myself that.”
Hercules’ eyes flashed beneath the lion’s skin.
“You called it.”
In fact, the title ‘Giant Slayer’ was a name created by the giants and not by anyone else.
And Hercules killed a large number of giants.
Even if it is a title created due to a misunderstanding.
For now, I had to accept that name.
“That guy did that.”
Hercules’ faith in amusement parks was quite deep.
“If you live, many times as many people as Gigantomachia will die.”
Wow-.
The club in Hercules’ hand gained strength.
An unusual magical power begins to flow through the earth. The ground he stood on caved in, and Hercules’ body became heavy.
“So I have to catch you.”
Cluck, cluck, cluck-.
[Giantification]
Hercules’ body swells.
Along with the image of a giant, an unusual magical power resided in his body.
And that moment.
Creepy creep-.
Surtur felt a creeping fear that he did not know about.
But despite this, Surt laughed.
“The system also had this function.”
This wasn’t the fear he felt.
A fear engraved deep in the genes embedded in the system.
The name Giant Slayer had the effect of making even Surtur tremble.
of course.
“It’s so ridiculous…”
That level of fear was nothing more than a good warning to Surtur.
“Yes, this guy has just entered the top 20.”
thud-.
Jeok-jeok-jeok-jeok-.
When Surtur stood up, the rocky mountain collapsed and the ground shook.
“How dare you challenge me?”
Surtur believed that he had no rival other than Odin.
Hercules was known to be the natural enemy of giants, and when I actually met him, the rumors became true.
But that’s just a story that only works if you’re at a similar level to the other person.
Compatibility was practically meaningless in the face of a gap on a different level.
“You’re too absorbed in playing hero.”
“It’s not play.”
“…!”
Surtur turned his head to the voice he heard from behind.
At what point did he come back?
Whoops-!
Hercules’ club struck Surtur on the head.
Ji-ing-.
A shock that resonates strongly in my head.
Kwaang-!
Surtur’s head fell to the ground. Hercules, who had acquired a new weapon, put the club he was wielding on his shoulder and continued speaking.
“It is justice.”
* * *
Kwaang-!
Surtur’s fist and Hercules’ club clashed.
Ji-ing-.
I felt the hardness of the club and the power of Hercules in my fist.
fault-.
Hercules stepped over Surtur’s fist and moved. The moment Surtur’s eyes turned to Hercules, Hercules’ club swung.
Tsk-!
Tuhwaak-!
Surtur’s body staggered after being hit in the chest with a club.
He moved a body bigger than a mountain and stronger than a mountain. That was the power of Hercules.
From Surtur’s point of view, how could such a small body radiate such power?
It was truly an amazing and wonderful power.
“Hmm…”
Surtur groaned at the pain he felt in his chest.
How long has it been since I felt this pain?
Even in the fight against Jecheon Daeseong Diablo, I have never felt this much pain.
Buuuuung-.
Hercules’ club flew toward Surtur’s head again.
That’s dangerous.
The shock of the first blow still lingered in my mind.
The good news was that Hercules’ fighting style was overly simple and ignorant.
Surtur’s fist extended towards the club that was flying towards his head.
Kwaang-!
Giiiing-.
The sound disappears due to the collision of the two forces. Hercules and Surtur were simultaneously pushed back and stumbled to keep their balance.
Surtur looked at the club in Hercules’ hand.
‘It’s not an ordinary weapon.’
This time, he swung his fist to break the club, which was an offensive weapon in the first place.
The club, which looked like an ordinary tree, did not break. No matter how much magical power was infused into it to strengthen it, there was no way it wouldn’t break if it was an ordinary wooden club.
“Was it a branch of Yggdrasil?”
Surtur, who had been skeptical, soon became convinced.
I wondered how on earth they could make something like that into an item, but there were two people who came to mind.
Odin with the branch of Yggdrasil.
and Hephaestus, brother of Hercules.
It wasn’t impossible for two people to create such an item.
“This was a reason for confidence.”
Hercules’ strength was amazing.
In terms of strength alone, Hercules was not inferior to Surtur.
It was not for nothing that he was known to have the strongest body in the tower.
He had no special skills or items other than turning into a giant, but the branch of Yggdrasil came into his hands.
It’s literally like a tiger with wings.
Moreover, Hercules, who had the upper hand in the competition through the title of ‘Giant Slayer’, was also a threat to Surtur.
‘At this moment, Hercules came here with the branch of Yggdrasil in his hand.’
I guess it was strange.
‘It can’t be a coincidence.’
There was a famous saying that was one of the sayings of the martial arts world and was now spread throughout the tower.
There are no coincidences in this tower.
Everything is an inevitability disguised as coincidence and is just the result of someone’s flapping of wings.
Even more so was the foolish chaos.
-Someone has more moves than me. I also never thought anyone other than you could take the fire.
I was so excited that I didn’t really realize what was said.
But as time passed, I began to understand little by little what that meant.
Glancing-.
Surtur’s gaze turned to Vritra and Leviathan fighting Odin in the distance.
In their own way, foolish chaos seemed to have prepared to buy time, but they were only trying to buy time.
Moreover, Hercules who appeared here was also a formidable opponent.
“I have no choice but to admit it.”
Grumbling-.
Flames rose from Surtur’s body.
“I don’t know who it was, but they planned the game amazingly.”
The rising flames gathered into Surtur’s hand.
The flames soaring into the sky created the shape of a huge sword. It was a representative skill symbolizing Surtur, the sword of flame that split the dark clouds in the sky.
“I will kill you before Odin comes. “If you join him, that’s exactly what the guy who set up the plan wants.”
From now on, Surt will come sincerely.
He must have realized that this place was the final destination of Ragnarok.
Grumbling-.
The flaming sword distorted the air.
Hercules did not know how to avoid.
I’ve never had a fight like that in the first place.
The flaming sword and the club of Hercules clashed.
Fuuuh-!
Hwaaaaaaaaaaa!
Hercules’ body is engulfed in flames.
Hercules, who jumped towards Surtur at once, was charred and fell to the ground.
Kwaang-!
The ground was deeply dug and Surtur flew towards the spot. Surtur stomped on Hercules with his feet, cutting off his life.
“At most I can say something like you….”
Boom boom quaang-!
Each time Surtur continued to kick, the ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
Surtur shouted in anger as he trampled on Hercules, whose body was limp.
“What do you think will be different?”
chin-.
Surtr’s feet stopped.
Surtur, who was strengthening his feet, realized that something was supporting his feet.
Wow-.
Hercules’ muscles beneath his feet twitched.
He was holding a club in one hand and lifting Surtur’s feet with the other.
‘What kind of power does this guy have…’
I knew he was strong, but he was so ignorant.
Hercules, whose body was charred by Surtur’s flames, opened his mouth in a low voice as if muttering.
“I’m not that smart to understand everything he’s thinking.”
It wasn’t just about strength.
The moment he picked up the club made from the branch of Yggdrasil, Hercules’ body became something completely different from before.
That was the power of Yggdrasil in the item.
“But one thing is certain.”
Hercules’ eyes flashed as he raised his head from beneath Surtur’s feet.
“In the end, you will be defeated.”
“This… how arrogant….”
Grumble!
Surtur, who dropped his foot, once again held the flaming sword in his hand.
The hotly burning flame burns more and more red. As if it had swallowed up all the fire in the world, the temperature had changed to a temperature that made it difficult to even get close to it.
“I’ll kill you first, and then I’ll kill that ridiculous bastard as well.”
You cannot kill Hercules with physical attacks.
The moment Surtur realized this and was about to wield the flame again.
[‘Heart of Fire’ controls the flame.]
[‘Hwaan Geumjeong’ controls the flame.]
[‘Seonghwa’ threatens the flame.]
A message appears in Surtur’s head.
Hwareuk-.
The flame held in his hand shook precariously.
“What…”
Even if the swinging sword of flame was swung, it did not pose much of a threat to Hercules.
Moreover, even Surtur, who wielded it, was agitated and could not exert proper force, so the attack ended in vain.
Surtur turned his head to find the person who shook his flame.
The same was true for Hercules.
“I guess you came.”
The corners of the mouth rise one by one.
And that moment.
“It was close.”
Jeopuk-.
Above the collapsed rocky mountain.
Yuwon walked over and greeted Hercules.
“Are you okay?”
“He’s still fine.”
Hercules stood up, shaking off the dust and black ash from his body.
However, Surtur, who was standing in front of him, had not made any movement since he discovered Yuwon.
Crack, crack, crack-.
A purple flame attached to Yuwon’s body.
A familiar feeling of magic flowing within his body.
“Yes…”
At that moment, Surt realized.
“Innoom-!”
The culprit who stole his fire was none other than Yoo Won.
