Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 295
[Level Up with God Episode 295]
* * *
Puseok-.
The first hair was dry and twisted.
I knew that at some point I lost my voice and lifelessness.
But the second and third heads did not show it.
We had already planned each other’s funerals a long time ago.
It was the same for him to sacrifice himself for something that would surely happen someday. I promised not to be sad or grieve now because it was something I was promised and I was already sad enough.
“bye.”
It was a calm thing to say goodbye to the twins who had lived in the same body for their entire lives.
But the calm aftereffects remained for a long time.
Jeopuk-.
It felt like it was popular nearby.
I had felt it before, but it was too late to turn my head.
Asura discovered Yuwon.
And then.
“sorry.”
Yuwon bowed his head.
“what?”
“If only I had prepared better…”
I couldn’t finish my sentence.
I also felt deep regret in the words that could not be concluded.
I was wondering what he was going to say.
“It’s nothing for you to be sorry about.”
If that regret is due to the sacrifice of the first head.
“This has been promised for a long time. “A very, very long time ago.”
I don’t even remember how long ago it was.
Rather, Asura scratched his head and opened his mouth to the Yuwon in front of him.
“So it has nothing to do with you. Rather…”
He also trailed off for a while.
“thanks.”
A third head finished it off.
No matter what the purpose was, the fact that Yuwon helped them get revenge remains the same.
of course.
“Sometimes I think of my first child.”
Yuwon did not just apologize to Asura here.
When Clockwork was first brought up and it was discussed who would run it.
Asura rarely claimed that he would return.
“If I go back, I’ll be able to see it.”
And with Asura’s words, everyone made a promise.
No matter who returns.
Let us not allow Asura to be sacrificed in the fight against Indra.
‘It’s my first failure.’
I thought I couldn’t achieve everything.
I was prepared that there would be times when I would fail somewhere or be stagnant for a long time.
Because we planned and acted a lot, it was something that could happen at least once.
That happened only now. And that was why Yuwon felt sorry for Asura.
‘Once this thing comes to an end…’
Yuwon looked at the remaining head of Asura.
They also all lost their lives in the fight against the Outers. And Yuwon could not stop it from starting.
but.
‘I hope you won’t die again then.’
At least from here on out.
I hope the results will be different.
Yuwon raised his head, which had been lowered for a moment.
* * *
The fight with Indra is over.
Everyone was torn. Vritra and Fafnir fell asleep to recover.
And Zeus.
“Did your father leave right away?”
“It’s probably too close to say he left.”
He disappeared to take power through Indra’s heart.
Perhaps indirectly, I was stimulated by encountering foolish chaos.
Yuwon and Hargan shared a drink for the first time in a long time. It was a bar that sold the food of the martial arts world that Yuwon always liked.
“Where are you?”
“It’s probably buried in the ground somewhere. Or up in the sky.”
“What do you mean?”
“Anyway, I’m going to be in a place where there are no people.”
Grrrr-.
Yuwon poured a drink for Hargan.
It’s also quite full.
Then, looking at Yuwon pouring the same amount of alcohol into his own glass, Hargan asked in surprise.
“What’s going on? “You pour me all the drinks first.”
“That happens.”
It was a strong drink that was difficult to swallow. I couldn’t help it since I have a body that doesn’t get drunk easily unless it’s this much alcohol.
Jang-.
The glasses clinked together and Yuwon downed the drink in one go.
At the time I couldn’t remember how many drinks I had.
As I drank quickly, I started to feel a little drunk.
“I guess you don’t feel very refreshed or happy?”
“Do you see it?”
“It is Indra. Ranked 6th.”
Indra’s name has been heard many times by Hargan.
The strongest high ranker among rankers who use lightning.
Like Zeus, he has been like an idol of Hargan for a long time.
I just didn’t like it because it caused the relationship between humans and dragons to become enemies.
“You have done something historic.”
“If you look at it positively, it’s fortunate.”
Yuwon held out his empty glass as if asking for one more drink.
A guy who usually prefers coffee to alcohol drinks like this. Hargan poured himself a drink, half worried and half happy.
“I think this is my first time drinking like this with you.”
“is it.”
“I believe that drinking makes friends.”
Jang-.
The glasses clinked together again.
“I like drinking because it makes me feel like we have become closer when we drink together.”
“I don’t really like it. “If the water is equally bitter, coffee is better than alcohol.”
“But why do you drink like that?”
“just.”
gulp-.
Yuwon took another sip of strong drink and looked at his reflection in the empty glass.
“I suddenly remembered it.”
“…?”
What on earth happened?
Since we couldn’t fight together, we had no way of knowing. At least according to the story we shared earlier, no one was dead except for one of Asura’s heads.
That level of sacrifice is not uncommon in fights between rankers.
Moreover, Yuwon did not have a proper relationship with Asura.
He must have already experienced many deaths while climbing the tower, so he drank all his alcohol for something like this.
In the eyes of Hargan, who did not know the circumstances, it was just strange.
but.
“There’s something that wasn’t there on that battlefield…”
My throat, which had been quenched with alcohol, is already dry.
An image of myself watching the fight safely from a long distance came to mind.
“It was so pathetic that we couldn’t fight together there.”
“It’s natural. “Because you’re not even a ranker yet.”
“You and I are tutorial classmates.”
Other people might not have noticed, but what you said meant that it was not comforting.
Yuwon also understood.
But I didn’t intend to console her by explaining it at length.
Hargan grew quickly.
It’s so strange that even Yuwon sees it.
If you think about it, it was Hargan who grew at a more unreasonable rate than himself.
Among them, the one who influenced me the most was probably myself.
‘It must have been a stimulant.’
motivation.
That one word was a great stimulus to Hargan.
Yuwon, who passed the tutorial together, fought alongside Zeus, who was his goal and idol.
That too with high ranker Indra, ranked 6th.
It’s strange that it’s not stimulating.
“So, what do you mean?”
Enough with Cheongseung.
Yuwon blew away the redness from his face.
When Hargan’s eyes changed from before, he waved his hand in disgust.
“Oh, what is it again? What are you going to talk about when the atmosphere is already over? If Dionysus finds out that you really do that, will you be in big trouble? Where are you letting your precious intoxication go so quickly?”
Hargan quickly lifted the bottle of alcohol next to him and held out the text written on the bottle.
“Can’t you see this?”
[Cleanly, clearly and confidently. A clear and strong drink for you who have become a ranker. p.s. [Dionysus]
An advertising phrase that seems like something I’ve seen before. Attached to the bottle was a picture of Dionysus, with his silver hair flowing, drinking from the bottle.
“And then I get scolded by my brother.”
“I thought you weren’t the younger brother calling the older brother.”
“Oh really. “I was wondering if you had a good drink, but…”
Hargan groaned and soon lost his drunkenness as well.
I wanted to have a strong drink for as long as possible this time, but it seems that time for that was over.
There is nothing more boring than being drunk alone.
“So what is it?”
“Your father asked me something.”
“ask? what?”
“you.”
“me?”
Hargan, who had a puzzled expression on his face as if wondering what that meant, soon understood what he was saying and leaned back.
Lament came first.
For some reason, I felt like he suddenly disappeared without saying a word to me.
“You mean my training?”
“okay.”
“Hargan. “Of all my sons, he is the one who resembles me the most.”
Zeus’ love for Hargan.
No, maybe it’s greed. Because he was hoping for a second Zeus to appear again.
After leaving Asgard’s prison and meeting Hargan.
While he was looking for Indra, he was also helping Hargan’s training.
anyway.
“Do you know why I never gave Hercules any affection?”
Zeus knew Hargan best as it was his bloodline.
“Because there is Hargan. “Because he is the best jewel I have ever crafted.”
After hearing that.
Yuwon’s thoughts about Hargan completely changed.
It is a jewel more excellent than Hercules. I wanted to find out why Zeus was saying that.
I simply thought he was a very talented player…
‘Hargan was already receiving attention that he would become a ranker in the shortest amount of time.’
Although they had different goals, Hargan entered the tower with Yuwon and climbed the tower faster than him.
Yuwon, who had not yet climbed all the way to the top, was registered in the rankings, and Yuwon took the title of the player who became the ranker in the shortest period of time, but Yuwon had a different opinion.
He ended up here only through expedient means.
The person who used Clockwork was a high ranker who had already reached the top of the tower a long time ago.
The starting line is different from Hargan.
Therefore, Yuwon’s evaluation of Hargan was bound to be much higher than the world’s evaluation.
“It seems like you have a lot of faith in you. “He’s not the kind of person who leaves his work to others.”
It was something that might hurt my pride.
The two were classmates and friends.
At least Hargan thought so.
That said, he did not regard Yuwon as a rival or adversary. Because the relationship between the two was already too far for them to be proud.
“so? “Did you say you would?”
“Why not do it? “Why does it take so long?”
Anyway, there are only a few days until Zeus returns. That was enough to take a short break and move around.
However, Hargan’s perspective on Yuwon was different.
“okay? “It’s unexpected.”
All of Yuwon’s actions he had ever seen had a reason and purpose.
This guy, who valued his time more than anyone else and was busy, would help him with his training.
I thought it was strange.
“Because it’s not that difficult.”
If Hargan was truly a player with potential greater than Hercules, his training was quite important to Yuwon.
The greater the number of top high rankers, the better. In the end, in order to prepare for the future fight with Outer, the tower had no choice but to become stronger.
If there were even one more high ranker like Zeus, it would be quite meaningful.
furthermore.
“And I have no intention of just watching.”
Yuwon also had no intention of wasting time on this, even if it was only for a few days.
“Your team is on the 80th floor right now, right?”
Druk-.
Yuwon stood up, as if declaring that this was the end of the drinking party.
“The training will be done by climbing the tower.”
