Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 279
[Level Up with God Episode 279]
* * *
“This is nothing.”
“I know. “Thanks to you, what a windfall this is.”
The players looking at the castle predicted a natural victory.
This was a fight I couldn’t lose in the first place.
“If I pass, is it now the 80th floor?”
“What will be the reward?”
“It looks like contributions are divided depending on the castle strategy.”
“There is only one enemy. How is contribution calculated?”
“I don’t know. “Why don’t you just carry me on your back?”
At this time, the exam is about to start.
The players who participated in the test were relaxed.
Of course, not everything was like that.
‘Something is strange.’
‘Can it be this easy?’
‘That can’t be possible.’
‘Managers aren’t that sloppy.’
However, this was a test with no special variables.
Before occupation.
Among the countless types of tests, none was as honest as this one. All you have to do is bring down the opponent who is guarding the castle and take the castle.
“It’s out!”
“It’s Kim Yu-won!”
“Is this just the beginning?”
Kim Yu-won appeared on the castle wall.
There were already 10,000 people here.
strategy? tactics?
There was no need for that.
It was meaningless to plan strategies with such numbers.
“let’s go.”
“The level you can move up to varies depending on your contribution?”
“The vanguard is mine.”
“Do it yourself. “I can comfortably go up one floor.”
“I heard that if you make a good impression here, your ransom will go up significantly?”
Players flocking in.
Kim Yu-won walked down the castle in front of the pitch-black players.
however.
“Something seems… strange?”
“what?”
Some sharp-eyed players paused.
The strange feeling of anxiety spread quickly. The players who were flocking in stopped their actions for a moment.
“I don’t think it’s Kim Yu-won.”
“What are you talking about?”
“There is only one opponent.”
“There is no way there is someone other than Kim Yu-won….”
The players, who felt strange, looked at the man standing blocking the castle gate.
It was strange.
No matter how careless you are, it is natural to find out at least some information about the player you are targeting.
Among the players who participated in the test, there was no one who did not know Kim Yu-won’s face.
however.
“uh?”
“Is it true?”
The opponent was really not Kim Yu-won.
A face I see for the first time.
While everyone was puzzled, several people’s faces turned white.
“Sus ssu….”
“Susano Oda!”
These were players who knew the history of the Three Ghosts.
Susanoo.
Because he was such an old high ranker, his face was forgotten, but his name still remained vivid and deep in the history of the tower.
“Susanoo? “That ghost?”
“Why is Susanoo here?”
“Who is talking nonsense!”
“Isn’t that just someone who looks like him?”
Jeopuk-.
Susanoo walked forward.
The distance narrowed and the face became clearer.
A purple energy seeps from his body.
Kiiiiii-.
The noise spread outside the castle.
“They’re not all similar….”
“It’s the same as the record….”
“I’ve seen it before! Susanoo! Susanoo!”
Among the 10,000 players, there was also a player who lived at the same time as Susanoo.
Although they cannot live forever like rankers, they are veterans who have existed for a long time as upper-tier players.
They remembered Susanoo’s face and that memory was never forgotten.
“I’m giving up!”
“shit. There was no mention of Susanoo! “When did he die?”
“for a moment! It’s a trick! There is no way Susanoo could be here…”
Shuak-.
Kwagwagwagwak-!
A long line was drawn in the middle of where the players were gathered. There was a deep hole in the ground and bright red blood splashed into the sky.
“Aaaah!”
“Fall! “My arm!”
“What skill is it?”
“It’s a sword!”
“knife?”
“This is a sword?”
Players who are confused.
Susanoo’s sword instantly split the wide battlefield in half. According to their common sense, it was impossible to do this by simply swinging a sword without any special skills.
Cheolgruguk-.
Susanoo continued to walk while holding two swords in his hands.
-My master commanded.
A voice that sounds angry and in a bad mood.
-No one is allowed inside here.
Kihiyi-.
sssss-.
A sharp anticipation emanates from Susanoo.
At the same time, several players noticed Susanoo’s complexion and the energy he gave off.
“Undead…?”
“Then Kim Yu-won is Susanoo?”
“shit.”
For some reason, I thought the test was too easy.
The players who thought so in their hearts became motivated again.
“There’s nothing to be so scared of if you’re undead!”
“That guy is not the real Susanoo! “There is a limit to the undead controlled by a necromancer!”
“Overcoming that guy is the real goal of this test! “Everyone be nervous!”
About 10,000 players begin to burn their fighting spirit.
The lukewarm battlefield heated up literally in an instant. Susanoo finally smiled as he faced the crowd from the front.
-okay. This is it.
It wasn’t in a form I really liked, but it finally came back anyway.
On a battlefield that smells of blood.
At the scene of slaughter.
* * *
Inside a huge castle.
The bed, the ceiling lights, the doors.
Yuwon, who was lying down on the sofa in an abnormally large bedroom, muttered when he felt a presence outside.
“It’s so crazy.”
Goooooong-.
Although small, the castle shook.
It was proof that the fight was that fierce outside. Even if each individual was not that great, the magical power emitted by as many as 10,000 people at the same time was not something to be ignored.
Susanoo’s joy was felt through his soul.
Being able to deal with such a large army would probably be an extremely happy thing for Susanoo.
Of course, his fighting here wasn’t Susanoo’s choice.
‘I need to restrain myself a little.’
-Send him back alive if possible.
Susanoo hesitated at Yuwon’s command.
The smiling face hardened. His cries of defiance seemed to be heard.
But Yuwon’s thoughts did not change.
-It is an order.
-…i get it.
Susanoo, who had been swinging his sword excitedly as he walked away from the castle gate, turned around.
Soon, he stood firmly in front of the huge castle gate and began swinging his sword only at the players running in.
Most of the time, it is a move to suppress rather than kill the opponent.
Among the two swords, Susanoo was deliberately using one with all its blades missing.
-Not fun.
Susanoo’s complaints came through my soul.
Susanoo was a person who liked to walk a tightrope, covered in blood, and on the edge of death. But he was fighting a fight in which he had to avoid killing his opponent.
However, Susanoo had already sworn to be loyal to Yuwon.
Susanoo, who had been defeated in a fight with Yuwon the day before, made a soul pledge and became an undead completely under Yuwon’s control.
There was no way to refuse. If you continue to refuse Yuwon’s orders, from then on you will become an empty shell doll with no sense of self.
‘No matter how good the opportunity is, it’s not good to have too many casualties here.’
This test was one in which Yuwon had to face 10,000 people alone.
We have to protect the castle of giants from them.
But that didn’t mean the test’s passing condition meant killing them all.
‘Players above the 65th floor. If given enough time, more than 10% can become a ranker.’
If so, just by simple calculation, the number of people who would become rankers was close to a thousand. Even if it was just one person, a thousand rankers was a huge force.
‘There’s no way I can kill them all here…’
That’s why he gave Susanoo such a cumbersome order.
‘I’ll take him alive if possible.’
As time passed, they were rankers who would later participate in the war against Outer.
Even if it was annoying, I had to take it with me. That was the promise Yuwon made to his colleagues when he returned to the past.
Unless absolutely necessary, climb the tower with as many players as possible.
Even in this test, Yuwon had no intention of breaking his promise.
of course.
‘It’s too boring to think of it as a test that will end with just holding on for time.’
This test was designed to promote the world of the 65th floor by evaluating Yuwon’s abilities and demonstrating his power to the public.
As such, it must be structured to satisfy the public’s eyes.
Yuwon didn’t think the administrator would have planned the test in such a simple way.
‘It’s not that difficult for a high ranker to defend against the incoming minnows using the Inhae tactic.’
If you’re a player who doubts Yuwon’s skills or a frog in the well who can’t estimate the power of a high ranker, this test feels like it’s somehow lacking for the administrator to have planned.
“If it’s a show, I’ll take it.”
That’s why Yuwon was waiting.
Until the missing part is filled.
“Instead, you have to pay the price of being on stage properly.”
* * *
-You have to pay the right price for being on stage.
Yuwon’s words as he raised his head.
Several managers gathered together and looked at the amusement park reflected in the lake.
“It’s just as I heard.”
“Do you know we’re watching?”
“If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t be talking to myself like that in a place where no one is around.”
The managers’ eyes sparkled.
Yuwon’s words were not just talking to himself. He was confident that the managers were watching him, so he spoke to them.
I don’t know if he noticed the managers’ gaze or if it was just a guess.
Anyway, one thing was certain.
“Like you said, it doesn’t seem like a normal bet.”
“That’s right. “Hehehe.”
The tutorial administrator stroked his beard and smiled.
He was also interested in this test and came out to see it.
In addition, several managers above the 65th floor were paying attention to this test.
“Anyway, it looks like they are already expecting it. The difficulty level of the test seems to be too low…”
The administrator on the 65th floor turned his head to look at the other administrators.
“How about speeding it up a bit more than planned?”
“I agree.”
“At this rate, there’s nothing to see because we only have one subordinate undead.”
“I’m not bad as is right now. “Let me agree.”
“me too.”
Everyone agreed.
The managers wanted to take this opportunity to see Yuwon’s skills.
However, contrary to expectations, a variable called Susanoo appeared and stood guard in the castle, causing Yuwon to not move at all.
In order to get through the boring beginning, I had no choice but to hurry a little.
“Then I guess everyone agrees.”
The tutorial administrator looked at Yuwon’s face reflected in the lake with interest.
The guy who already dealt with Surtra, Surtra’s son, in the tutorial.
I couldn’t stay still, wondering how much stronger he had become in just a few short years.
“Let’s move on quickly.”
Dozens of managers.
The grand exam they prepared for.
“I wonder how far that guy can pass.”
