Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 282
[Level Up with God Episode 282]
* * *
Thump thump thump thump-.
It felt like I could hear the sound of drums in the middle of my chest.
It felt like it was about to explode. My heart boiled and it became difficult to control my body.
“It looks like they’re preparing something.”
The manager looked at the magical power that had begun to increase rapidly.
Something is coming.
Something quite threatening this time.
Grumbling!
Purple flames covered the area around Yuwon.
[‘Master of Mana’ controls the flame.]
[‘Hwaan Geumjeong’ controls the flame.]
There were many means to control fire.
However, the size of the fire spewing out from the heart was not small enough to be controlled even if there were a few means available.
[Status abnormality: Burning begins.]
[Status abnormality: Burning increases to level 2.]
[Status abnormality: Burning….]
[Status abnormality: Overload begins.]
Overload.
It was the most serious condition that could be suffered.
This was not just a sign of injury, but evidence that the body itself was beginning to break down.
‘That’s it.’
If overload began, there was a possibility that the body could break down and the stats themselves would decrease.
I’ve already been greedy enough.
That was it.
Hwaaaaaaaaaaa!
The flames spewing out are condensed into the sword.
The manager raised the corners of his mouth in surprise as he saw the flaming sword slowly being created in Yuwon’s hand.
“It exceeded my expectations.”
A huge sword of flame held in Surtur’s hand.
That sword was made in Yuwon’s hands right now.
“I’ll hit you.”
Grumbling!
Flames engulfed the manager.
I had no intention of avoiding it. That didn’t suit the manager’s temperament.
Giiiing-.
Magical power emanates from the manager’s fingertips.
Fuuuuuu-!
A huge flame engulfed the manager’s body.
* * *
The players fighting Susanoo stopped moving.
Thick smoke fills the sky and huge fireworks rise above the castle.
“fire…?”
“What’s going on?”
“Was there a fight inside?”
“with who?”
Gugugugugu-.
The castle, weakened by the fire, slowly tilted to the side. It seemed like they would collapse at any moment and fall on top of their bodies.
“It would be best to avoid it for now.”
“shit. I completely failed the test.
“Hey hey! Hurry!”
Once the castle began to tilt, it collapsed in an instant.
The top of the castle, which had soared high into the sky, fell to the ground.
Since they were also upper level players, it wasn’t that difficult to avoid the falling rock debris.
Kwang kwaang-!
Kurrrrrr-.
The giant’s castle collapsed. Players who found a safe spot while the debris fell slowly began to admire the pillar of flame rising into the sky.
‘The heat spreads all the way here.’
‘What on earth is this test?’
‘This isn’t a test.’
Through this test, the minds of players who were trying to climb the tower and receive rewards turned completely white.
Even when Susanoo appeared, they thought they would somehow be able to push them out with numbers.
But the problem wasn’t the Susanoo in front of me.
Look at that pillar of fire.
If you get caught up in a test that involves something like that, even ten lives will be missing.
“I’m giving up!”
“me too!”
“I’ve never heard of anything like this!”
Fear and conflict spread quickly.
As they began to give up on the test one by one, other players also shouted that they were giving up.
In the first place, it was closer to an event like the Moorim War than a life-threatening test.
The messengers who were waiting began to diligently move the players who had given up to another location.
And the audience outside watching the scene.
“Is that the fire of Surtur?”
Hades, who was disappointed that he could not see Yuwon fight properly, looked at the new pillar of flame that appeared on the screen.
I knew that Yuwon obtained the fire of Surtur through Hercules.
The problem was that I was wondering how to deal with it, but it seems they are handling it better than I thought.
‘A fire of that size…’
If it were a giant’s castle, it would be the same size as most small cities.
This meant that it was powerful enough to burn down a small city in an instant, even if compared to a castle of that size.
“Apollon you….”
Less less-.
Hades turned his head and found Apollo trembling.
Among the rankers who wielded fire attribute magic, Apollo was considered the best in Olympus.
But he was shaking.
“Why are you doing that?”
Apollo opened his mouth in a low voice, as if muttering, at the size of the flame visible beyond the screen.
“My father was the one who could use the largest and widest range of skills in Olympus.”
father.
Zeus, one of the three gods of Olympus and king.
As Apollo said, Zeus was able to unleash enough power to destroy a large city in an instant.
“My father is great, but the magic of the lightning attribute is good for expanding the scope in the first place. On the other hand, fire…”
Apollo, who was unable to finish his sentence, spoke out the thoughts that were in his head rather than giving a complicated explanation.
“I have never seen such a large fire anywhere except Surtur.”
“Hmm…”
Hades stroked his rough beard as Apollo explained.
Surt.
He was clearly known to be the strongest in fire attribute magic.
However, the power of the guy who entered the tower just a few years ago made Surtur talk about it.
‘I didn’t think there was anything out of the ordinary in the fight with Zeus, but it’s been like this over the past few years…’
A curiosity suddenly arose.
“if.”
At the powerful voice, Apollo took his eyes off the screen and looked back at Hades.
“What do you think will happen if I fight that guy?”
“With my uncle…”
Apollo was conflicted for a moment.
The opponent was Hades.
Hades the Reaper. He was the new king leading Olympus after Zeus had stepped down, and his ranking had now risen to 43rd place.
But I don’t know.
Unless it was a sweet flattery that was pleasant to hear, the answer Apollo could give was limited.
“I do not know.”
I’m not sure.
Clearly, Hades was one of the greatest and strongest beings in this tower that Apollo knew.
But just a little while ago. For Apollo, who had lived for thousands of years, it felt like just a short time, but Yuwon had reached the realm of Hades.
It’s hard to believe even when you see it with your own eyes.
“I don’t know…”
And Hades had the same sentiment.
Sigh-.
Beyond the screen.
Hades muttered while looking inside the castle where Yuwon was.
“I must keep that guy as an ally no matter what happens.”
* * *
Boom-.
A heavy shock passed through my body.
It felt like another rock had been placed on top of my body.
I wonder how many piles of rocks they were buried under.
[The ‘God’s protection of the sea’ dwells in my body.]
Still, I was fortunate.
Perhaps because the skill’s recovery time had passed, the divine protection of the sea protected my body again.
If it weren’t for that, he would probably have lost at least one of his limbs or fallen unconscious from shock by now.
“It hurts.”
“Me too.”
Deed deed-.
As I blurted out the words, a voice came from the bedside.
Right at the head of the amusement park, the manager lifted the many rocks with his body and stood up.
“Wouldn’t you kill yourself alone?”
“Would you like me to clean up yours too?”
“It’s done. “It’s not bad to stay like this.”
I was too tired to wake up now. Even though there were rocks on top of my body, it was more comfortable than I thought.
Right now, I feel most comfortable lying down like this.
“But the same goes for me…”
Yuwon lifted his head from his lying down and looked up at the manager above him.
The clothes I was wearing burned away and a black burn mark appeared on my chest. It was a mark from a collision I had made just moments ago.
“I won.”
“Looking at the way it is now, I’d say no, but…”
The manager couldn’t deny those words.
“I guess so.”
It was a test that I didn’t need to win in the first place. No, in fact, he had no idea that he would get hurt.
Yuwon’s flames overwhelmed the magic power emitted from his fist. I tried to destroy my strength and block the flames with both arms, but in the end it ended up like this.
Although it was only a one-shot attack, Yuwon’s flame was no better than Surtur’s.
Deed deed-.
The pile of rocks above Yuwon’s body moved.
I watched Yuwon, wondering what he was doing, and saw Yuwon using his giant boots on his arms to remove a pile of rocks.
bang-!
Kurrrrr-.
Yuwon threw aside the pile of rocks on his body and collapsed on the floor.
Looking at that, the manager said as if he was shocked.
“He’s a guy who really doesn’t like receiving help from others.”
“Doesn’t all this little help affect the compensation?”
“As expected, you know us well.”
It was an undeniable statement.
There was nothing free about the actions of errand boys and administrators who intervened in the test. Even their smallest favor was bound to affect the reward of the test.
Because Yoo-won knew that fact, he did not want to receive any help from the managers.
“What is the reward?”
“Choose one of the two.”
Ji-seon Lee.
In some cases, this occurred when records were set higher than the existing requirements.
Yuwon nodded and listened to the manager.
I had to think carefully before choosing.
“The first thing is to get permission to go up to the 79th floor as promised. But this is not enough.”
“Item or skill.”
“okay. Any shortcomings in compensation will be given as items.”
item.
It’s probably not an ordinary item. It has been difficult to find a test of this level of difficulty among administrator tests.
It was worth looking forward to. Yuwon waited for the next option.
“And the second is the right to climb the tower all the way up.”
“to the end…?”
It was an exciting condition.
Yuwon needed time. And taking the exam and climbing up the tower were the things that took up the most time out of Yuwon’s current plans.
If so, it would save a lot of time.
‘I know what I need and I say it. Are you asking me to choose between time and items?’
I don’t know what kind of item will come out. If you find an item you don’t need, it may become a valuable treasure.
On the other hand, time does not betray. But on the other hand, climbing the tower was something you could do at any time as long as you took the time.
The worries were not short-lived.
The manager waited for Yuwon without urging. After much thought, Yuwon opened his mouth.
“I’ll do it first.”
“Is the 79th floor enough?”
“I will go up slowly and not in a hurry. “It’s still fast enough.”
The hastily built tower was bound to collapse. It’s fast enough now, but if you get more greedy, everything you’ve built so far may be in vain.
Yuwon decided to build a stronger foundation below.
“Then it’s decided.”
After the test, the reward was decided.
Yuwon, who was a little relaxed, sat down and rested, and when his body recovered somewhat, he stood up.
Administrator of tutorials.
Something has been on my mind since I first saw him.
“More than that, there was something I wanted to ask you when I see you again.”
“What do you want to ask?”
Yuwon nodded.
Due to the nature of the tower, players who finished the tutorial could not return to the tutorial.
Because it was a completely different world from this tower.
But fortunately, I got to meet him again like this.
“The egg you gave me as a reward after the tutorial.”
Autumn leaves came out of that egg.
And maybe.
“What on earth was that?”
The manager in front of you probably knows about this guy.
