Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 278
[Level Up with God Episode 278]
Susanoo’s eyebrows twitched.
It was a word scarier than any other scary word.
I’m not stupid enough to move without confidence.
I knew Susanoo very well as he had been with Yuwon for quite some time.
He was even the one who watched along with Yuwon’s soul as a slave to how he planned and moved the game.
I couldn’t tell that it wasn’t just a bluff.
but.
-What does that mean?
Susanoo didn’t care about that.
Yep-!
Without hesitation, Susanoo swung his sword and released magical power.
-There is no fight with a fixed outcome. The results are what I create.
Buuuuung-.
The power in the sword became stronger, and Susanoo’s magical power was quickly drained.
-assurance?
Skaga River-.
Hundreds of blades surround the surrounding area. The momentum had not changed at all compared to the first time.
-There is no battle that you must win. That’s the same even if it’s you.
Jeez, blah blah blah!
A sword that is fierce.
Countless sword marks appeared on the floor of the training ground. While fighting, Yuwon thought that he would hear something from Odin later.
‘You don’t measure your back.’
The amount of magical power Yuwon distributed was limited.
But now, Susanoo was pouring out his power generously and not thinking about the future.
“I could just drag on like this until I collapse from exhaustion…”
Shhh.
Tsk-!
Yuwon’s sword pushed Susanoo’s sword away. Susanoo’s pupils widened at the power contained in the sword.
Wow-.
“That’s not very reassuring.”
Swollen arms.
An unusual flow of magical power.
Susanoo’s eyes narrowed at the familiar skill.
-Is it a giant?
In terms of strength, there was no way to beat Yuwon, who was a giantess. Because there was no skill that increased one’s strength as dramatically as turning into a giant.
It is impossible to fight head on.
Susanoo’s movements have changed.
-There is no law on destruction.
Shhh-.
Susanoo’s sword moved to avoid Yuwon’s sword.
Swords do not collide with each other.
Yuwon dodged Susanoo’s sword that was disturbing his eyes. It was clear what he was thinking.
‘Avoid power struggles and push at speed. Are you planning to engage in a speed battle by actively utilizing your strengths instead of your shortcomings?’
Clever and wise.
Acknowledging one’s shortcomings was the starting point and was the most efficient way to maximize one’s strengths.
but.
Susseu-.
Yuwon’s eyes moved.
“You don’t have to be that fast.”
[‘Hwaan Geumjeong’ reads the path.]
[‘Sense zone’ is activated.]
I could see how Susanoo’s sword would move. The body reacted before the head and struck with unavoidable black force.
“As you said, there is no such thing as a fight you can always win. “That is correct.”
Yuwon also agreed with those words. No, rather, I knew it better than anyone else.
Because I knew an opponent I couldn’t seem to beat no matter what I did.
Yuwon raised the corners of his mouth as he took Susanoo’s sword.
“But at least that’s not you.”

The day of the exam dawned.
The wind blew in the upper floors of the tower.
Although it was hot and desolate Muspelheim, this test was special.
Numerous rankers and players gathered.
“Muspelheim’s special lava sphere is for sale! “It’s great to use as a substitute for a brazier!”
“The pride of Muspelheim, the treasure of the giants! “Let’s go and see!”
“We sell special dwarven beer! Take a break from the sweltering heat!”
Everywhere, merchants raise their voices and sell the goods they have brought. Although the price was ridiculously high, the goods sold out without stopping.
That meant there were a lot of customers. The city of Muspelheim was already crowded with so many people that there was no room to move.
“It’s incredible.”
“This exam was a great success.”
Officials administering the test.
The manager’s messengers also shed tears of joy when they saw the tourists.
“There is no other event like this other than the Moorim War. “For rankers who live for hundreds or thousands of years, events like this are a sight that cannot be missed.”
The little errand boy with a mischievous appearance crossed his arms with a triumphant look on his face.
“This test was a huge success. Even if that weren’t the case, there was a lot of interest in the war between Asgard and Muspelheim, so it was a test I couldn’t fail.”
“Hey, team leader.”
“why?”
“Did the team leader plan this test?”
“…Shut up, man.”
The errand boys hurriedly prepared for the exam.
This test had to be completed successfully.
It was a task that must be solved by the manager who managed the 65th floor and the errand boys under him.
The barren and hot Muspelheim was a world with almost no floating population.
Such an opportunity arose in Muspelheim.
This test was a success beyond imagination, and if we make the most of this opportunity, we may be able to change the image of the 65th floor.
And meanwhile.
“I wonder if this test makes sense….”
“Except for one person, everyone else is on the same team.”
Players participating in the test expressed their bewilderment.
The content of the test was as follows.
[Take over the castle of Muspelheim.]
[Players other than Kim Yu-won form a team. The one who took the castle first was Kim Yu-won.]
[The one who took the castle a day later wins the test.]
[Rewards are paid according to the level of contribution.]
The content of the test itself was simple.
A test that takes place in one day. As it was a fairly long exam, there was enough to see.
The problem was the balance of the exam.
“But the opponent is a high ranker, right? “And within the top 100.”
Kim Yu-won was a high ranker in the 80th place. Originally ranked around 400th place, he was recognized for his contribution in the war between Asgard and Muspelheim and his ranking quickly rose.
There is a wall between rankers and players that is difficult to overcome.
Moreover, it is a test taken by high rankers and players within the top 100.
But the opponents were not ordinary players.
“That doesn’t make any sense. “How can this guy not even get past the 65th floor yet?”
Those who are at least on the 65th floor and are called preliminary rankers.
In particular, among the players who reached the 79th floor, some were close to rankers.
“I heard that guy threw Gungnir this time.”
“Is there anyone who doesn’t know that Kim Yu-won is an Asgardian player? It’s all a show. “To promote Asgard’s rankers.”
“But the ranking bureau falls for something like that?”
“If you’re Odin, there’s no way you can’t influence the ranking bureau.”
“but.”
“Still, it’s clear that his skills are great. Looking at the content of this test, it seems like the administrator recognized his skills.”
The evaluation of Kim Yu-won, the protagonist of this test, was largely divided into two.
Those who say there is too much bubbles in the rumors, or those who say that it is time to acknowledge his skills.
In particular, players targeting higher floors than Kim Yu-won still tended to ignore him.
but.
“Well, anyway, you’ll find out when the exam starts.”
There was clearly a common opinion that everyone thought the same.
“Is Kim Yu-won’s ranking real or not?”
The exam is now just around the corner.
* * *
The subject of the test was occupation warfare.
Who can occupy the castle longer?
Who is registered as the owner of the castle at the end?
The test was broadcast live from the center of the city on the 65th floor.
“There are many prominent rankers.”
“Isn’t he the type of guy that usually attracts attention? “There aren’t many opportunities to see them fighting.”
A handsome man with golden hair and a middle-aged man with short black hair walked side by side.
As the two walked, the tightly packed crowd split to the left and right.
“Don’t you think it’s a nuisance to us?”
“It’s because you stand out too much.”
“I think it’s more about my uncle than me.”
Hades and Apollo.
It was a visit by two high rankers from Olympus. In particular, Hades was known to rarely engage in external activities, and as he was called the king of hell, many people feared him.
“Well, anyway, thanks to you, I was able to get a good seat…”
Apollo looked up at the huge screen located in the center of the city.
It felt as if a huge castle was standing right in front of me. If you didn’t look carefully, you would be confused as to whether this was a screen or real.
“It looks like the errand boys put a lot of effort into it.”
“is it. “That’s great.”
The numerous players shown on the screen came into Hades’ eyes.
The numbers are as dense as a swarm of ants. They said there were 10,000 people, but it was really a lot.
‘They said even that was supported on a first-come, first-served basis.’
There were so many players in this tower.
And only a very small percentage of them can become rankers, and those are the players who have the qualities to become rankers.
Most players fail before even getting past the 10th floor.
In other words, Yuwon was dealing with 10,000 selected elites.
When I was looking at the screen for a while.
“Uncle, hey…”
Apollo touched Hades’ shoulder in an uncharacteristically trembling voice.
“What?”
“That guy is here too.”
“That guy?”
Hades’ head turned.
The spot pointed out by Apollo.
I saw people moving away from one person, creating an empty circle.
They seem reluctant to get closer.
I wondered what the fuss was about, but Hades, who found him, was able to understand.
“Asura…?”
Bronze skin and muscular muscles. A man wearing ten weapons.
He was watching the screen.
“Why did Asura come here?”
Asura was a dangerous ranker.
Although he was skilled, he loved fighting and had no qualms about killing.
The number of high rankers who died at his hands was well over double digits.
Asura got into fights and killed his opponents regardless of cause and effect, so much so that he even received a warning from his manager.
“It appears that Kim Yu-won has become interested.”
“Wouldn’t it be dangerous?”
“It would be dangerous. “Asuramyeon.”
It wasn’t usually dangerous.
The fact that he, who had been quiet for a while after receiving a warning from the manager, has moved on probably means that he wants to put an end to it.
It has probably been looking for its next prey for quite some time.
“I will tell Hercules.”
“okay. “Please.”
With the appearance of Asura, Hades realized that more rankers were showing interest in this test than expected.
Even if he rolled his eyes right away, there were many familiar faces he recognized.
‘Asura Tsukuyomi Thor Brunnhilde Merlin Belial…’
It’s literally like the stars gathered together to form the Milky Way.
‘It wouldn’t be enough to start a war right here.’
There is only one reason they came here.
This is probably to check Yuwon’s skills.
Kim Yu-won’s skills are shrouded in mystery.
Since this is a test open to rankers, I thought I could use this opportunity to check it out.
‘Then indeed…’
Hades’ eyes turned to the screen again.
Towards the top of the castle that appeared on the screen.
“It’s Kim Yu-won!”
“Is this the beginning?”
“I’ve waited a long time!”
“Here!Here, please give me three beers!”
Yuwon appeared and cheers erupted from everywhere.
The one-on-one test has begun.
