Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 277

[Level Up with God Episode 277]

Climbing up multiple floors at once.

It was a type of test I had never heard of before. But having such a test would have saved quite a bit of time.

It was tempting.

“Of course the level of difficulty will be high. “It’s a test that will require you to climb multiple floors at once, and I plan to allow other players on the floors of the test to participate as well.”

The intention is to quickly send Yuwon up if he can’t stop him from participating in the test.

And it was a system that attempted to achieve some degree of balance by enlarging the board and increasing rewards.

Also managers.

My head worked well in this direction.

“Would you like to take on the challenge?”

Right now, it was urgent for Yuwon to move up as quickly as possible.

“I’ll do it.”

It was an offer that there was no reason to refuse.

“It will take about ten days until the exam starts. “We need to prepare, and the others need time to get to know everything.”

“All right.”

Ten days.

Since the base was also held in Valhalla, it was the perfect time to test out the newly acquired power.

* * *

Tiring-.

A letter appeared on the player’s kit.

“H-what is it?”

Even the kit of a player who was sleeping soundly.

“Who is it?”

Even in the kit of a player who has just started eating.

“I don’t know….”

From the 65th to the 79th floor.

The same message arrived in the kits of players who were climbing the tower and waiting for the test.

It was a text message from the manager.

[A special test awaits in ten days. The reward is….]

“Special test?”

“What kind of event is this all of a sudden?”

“What is the reward…”

It was an eye-popping event.

Moreover, it was not just an event like the Moorim War.

“As far as boarding privileges-.”

“Isn’t this just a test?”

“It’s amazing.”

“But the content of the test…”

Rankers were also interested in the test that took place in a section close to the top floor of the tower.

A huge scale like the martial arts war. But the level of players participating in the test was much better than that.

The exam soon became a festival and word spread quickly.

Ten days passed quickly.

* * *

Pooooooooo!

Behind the golden castle.

The Valkyries’ training ground was heating up.

Hwareuk-.

The purple flames cleared and the figure of Hercules was revealed. With a smear of black soot, Hercules lowered his arms that were covering his face.

“That’s hot.”

It was a depressing evaluation, even though he exerted quite a bit of energy.

But that alone was enough to make Yuwon quite satisfied.

“It’s important that we get it together.”

“I don’t think it’s an ordinary fire.”

This was not the first time the torch was tested on Hercules.

But for the first time, he felt something foreign through Seonghwa.

“It’s an unpleasant feeling. If you can’t overcome that discomfort, it feels even hotter. “This wouldn’t be possible with a normal fire.”

“okay?”

Yuwon’s eyes sparkled.

What Hercules felt was not just a feeling of heat. The ‘discomfort’ he was talking about was a completely different concept.

Seonghwa was a fire that grew by eating the other person’s emotions.

And the essence of that ability begins with instilling fear in the opponent. A torch that fails to instill fear is just a fire with flashy colors and a little hotter.

However, the icon made Hercules uncomfortable.

‘The power of the sacred fire varies depending on my skill level and the user’s ability. The fact that the Holy Fire reached Hercules….’

The place where Hercules stands.

The distance that felt so long narrowed, and soon I felt like I had stepped into where he was standing.

‘So I’m starting to step into his territory?’

It was good news.

Surtur got the ‘fire’ he cherished and the torch grew so much.

If it is a fire that can be used on Hercules, it can be seen that it can be used on most top high rankers as well.

“Was the test tomorrow?”

Sigh-.

Yuwon answered Hercules’ question while changing his clothes.

“okay.”

“I guess I should at least go see the sights.”

This test was much bigger than the Moorim Daejeon.

Many prominent players will participate, and they will all gather together and dance with swords.

“I’m looking forward to it.”

As the contents of this test were revealed, TOP’s attention was once focused.

“I wonder what will happen if that many players gather together.”

Hercules also became interested in tests.

Nearly 10,000 players make up a team. On the other hand, Yuwon had to deal with them alone.

A one-on-one fight.

It was a test with an absurd structure. In the first place, tests are usually done in teams or individually.

A test that is bound to be controversial.

But it had to be that way.

“Because the ranking has risen that much.”

[Kim Yu-won: 88th]

88th.

It was a ranking that quickly entered the top 100.

Yuwon Kim threw Gungnir.

The ranking went up just because of that one piece of news.

Because the broadcasting station and the ranking management office were organizations under the manager, they had a fairly close relationship.

“Still, the settings are too excessive. “This isn’t even the lower floor.”

Players who climbed up to the 79th floor. These were top-tier players who were about to become ranked players.

Of course, some of them would have skills close to that of a ranker. The number of 10,000 players made up of such players was bound to be a burden even for a high ranker within the top 100.

“Because the goal is not to fight and win anyway. “I think it’s worth doing.”

A sour tone of voice.

In the first place, Yuwon had nothing to do with the content of this test. All I could think about was that I had already passed the exam and was in a hurry to move up.

“And what are those clothes?”

Hercules asked as he looked at Yuwon’s changed clothes.

Not the clothes of the Four Great Spirits, but thin but strong iron armor.

It was a different type of item than what Yuwon usually used.

“this?”

An item made at the request of Hephaestus.

“I’m planning on doing a sword dance a little later.”

* * *

The training ground where Hercules left.

Yuwon had asked Odin to rent the training ground for one more hour.

An empty training ground.

“Come out.”

Sussut-.

The shadow stirred and another human figure taller than Yuwon arose.

“Susanoo.”

Shootaaa-.

Another person appeared in the empty training ground. He was an undead with pale complexion and a cold expression.

-You called me.

“You didn’t forget the promise you made before, right?”

-Are you saying that if you defeat me, you will make me your master?

“okay.”

Cheolgruguk-.

The armor shaking from Yuwon’s body.

It was an item that seemed quite heavy and sturdy. The moment Susanoo saw it, he knew it was the work of Hephaestus.

-It looks like you made your own preparations.

The clothes of the Four Great Spirits were items with strong resistance to magic of various attributes.

However, although the resistance to magical power is high due to the material of the clothes, the defense and durability itself are not that high.

On the other hand, the armor Yuwon was wearing was focused solely on defense against the ‘sword’.

“You have to prepare for this.”

Yuwon looked into Susanoo’s eyes, which were already full of life.

“It will be difficult to defeat you with just one sword.”

When it comes to swords, Susanoo was a skilled man who found no rivals in this tower.

His sword was dangerous.

More than anything else.

“I’m sure we’ll have a really fun fight this time.”

Hwareuk-.

The sacred fire dwelled in Susanoo’s body.

An enormous amount of magical energy was filled within his body. It was a significantly different amount from the magic power I had used to control him so far.

And Susanoo also noticed that fact.

“There is no cheating. “It’s exactly half of the magical power I have.”

Yuwon and Susanoo were connected by soul. Even though it was a subordinate relationship, there was no way Susanoo didn’t know how much magic power Yuwon had left.

After obtaining the fire of Surtur, the amount of magical power was twice as much as before.

At this level, he was able to demonstrate Susanoo’s skills during his prime.

Susanoo, who was called a ghost, returns here in perfect form.

“Do you like the sword dance?”

-I like it.

yes-.

Susanoo’s trembling and excitement could be felt in his soul.

Due to his lack of magical power, he had only shown much less skill than when he was alive.

But now.

I felt light and full of strength, as if I could fly away at any moment.

There is only one thing left now.

Yuwon’s order was given, and the undead found his freedom.

And for that, Yuwon opened his mouth.

“Kill me Susanoo.”

That moment.

Shoot ah-.

The corners of Susanoo’s mouth rise, and a harsh and murderous expression flows out of him.

-Observe your orders faithfully…

Shhh-.

The wind blows through the cheeks.

-I will kill you.

Yuwon nodded as he looked at Susanoo’s sword that was right in front of him.

“Anyway.”

* * *

I had only seen Susanoo’s sword properly once.

The fight with the Three Demons, Amaterasu.

At that time, Susanoo put aside his pride for the first time since becoming undead and helped Yuwon.

Undead’s original power varies depending on the degree of obedience to the soul. Therefore, Yuwon tried to accept Susanoo’s obedience.

To cut him off with a sword.

That’s exactly what Yuwon wanted.

Chaang Chang-!

Sword and sword clashed.

Every time a line with sharp anticipation passed before my eyes, a chill ran down my spine.

In between.

Yuwon found Susanoo’s smiling face.

-It doesn’t feel like I’m stepping on a sword like when I was alive… but

the fight between life and death was meaningless for someone who was already dead.

There are only fights that you either lose or win.

-Still, it’s not bad.

Yuwon’s eyes sparkled.

The tip of a sword with extraordinary power was visible between the swords, which were only fast.

Shukaaaaaaa!

Kwakagagak-!

A large sword strike that penetrated half of the training ground.

If I had passively avoided it like before, my body would have been cut in half.

Could it be because one attempt at conversion failed?

Susanoo frowned unlike before.

-Those eyes are definitely annoying.

Hwareuk-.

Hwaan Geumjeong.

A skill to understand the nature of an opponent’s weakness or attack.

In addition, Yuwon was using sensory zones throughout the training ground.

-Is this a lot of preparation?

We exchanged knives for about ten minutes.

Susanoo, who was excitedly swinging his sword, felt his interest slowly waning at some point.

A knife that gets stuck frequently. I didn’t feel like I was cutting anything or having a fun fight.

It was the first time in my life that I felt this way.

Rather than a huge mountain that couldn’t be climbed, it felt like swinging a sword in the empty air.

“Like you said, I prepared a lot.”

Ghost Susanoo.

Clearly, he was a more skilled swordsman than himself.

This fight wasn’t just about taking him down.

A fight that requires submission.

You literally have to press it overwhelmingly.

So I thought and thought again.

“You know that, right?”

How can I completely win this fight?

How can I get him to acknowledge me?

And now.

“I’m not stupid enough to move without certainty.”

Yuwon was confident and challenged him to a fight.
