Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 297
[Level Up with the Gods Episode 297]
Lee Seong-yoon became completely speechless at Yu-won’s question.
He rewinded in his mind the years he had spent climbing the tower.
Difficult tutorial.
On the other hand, after entering the tower, it didn’t seem to have been particularly difficult.
“You are a shark trapped in a world as small as a fish tank. “You don’t know how wide the ocean is, and you don’t know how far you can swim.”
Yuwon’s gaze glanced at Hargan.
“Moreover, there is another shark living in that fish tank, so it wouldn’t be unreasonable to mistake it for the sea.”
Seongyoon Lee’s team had Hargan.
His talent was such that Zeus recognized him as superior to Hercules. In terms of talent alone, it could be said that he deserves to be ranked among the top three.
With Hargan next to him, his talent may not have seemed so great.
There wouldn’t have been anything dangerous.
What Lee Seong-yoon needed was simple.
“You need a wall.”
A life-threatening crisis.
And the high, solid wall in front of his eyes.
That was a necessary condition for Lee Seong-yoon to grow.
And the best environment for that was there.
“Leave this team.”
Yuwon threw a bomb.
* * *
The test on the 80th floor consists of a total of ten teams.
Among them, only three selected teams could pass the test and advance to the next floor, and passing the test as an individual was virtually impossible.
Therefore, players who climbed the tower without finding a team feel a wall and form a team.
I think there is a wall that cannot be overcome with talent alone.
But now.
Nevertheless, there were two teams that applied individually for the test.
[Lee Seong-yoon: Is this really okay?]
A message arrived from Lee Seong-yoon.
Yuwon looked at the grassland that stretched all the way to the distant horizon. Just looking at this all-green meadow made my eyes feel clearer.
A scenery that makes you want to keep looking at it blankly.
But I had to reply to the message.
[Do your best.]
I felt like I could hear Lee Seong-yoon swearing in the non-returning reply.
Hargan vehemently opposed it, but Yuwon thought that this was a test that Seongyoon Lee had to pass alone.
Otherwise, he would just continue to stagnate.
‘Castle defense battle.’
Defense and attack. Each team sieges a total of five castles.
How many times has the castle been taken?
How long did it take to take the castle?
The process was evaluated numerically, and the three teams that ultimately earned the most points advanced to the next floor.
[The test begins.]
I saw the opposing team gathering outside the castle.
I wasn’t particularly interested in the results of this test anyway.
Around twenty players.
Yuwon has already gone through a similar test. And the number of opponents reached 10,000.
I wasn’t even impressed.
The problem is over there.
‘There will be no problem on Hargan’s side…’
Hargan’s team failed the last test on the 80th floor.
It wasn’t because I didn’t have any skills.
Due to the sudden invasion of Zeus, I had no choice but to give up the exam.
Zeus would also have been stopped by the administrator if he had raised an issue, but Hargan did not.
This exam was their first retest.
Of course, you will grit your teeth and take the test and you will not fail.
But Lee Seong-yoon is different.
‘If you can come up, I’ll admit it.’
He was taking the test alone instead of teaming up with Yuwon.
It means that you have to do the work of ten or twenty people by yourself.
And that would be impossible for Lee Seong-yoon as of now.
“Before that….”
Paji-.
Yuwon emitted electricity through Uranus’ heart.
A golden spear created in the hand.
“I guess I’ll have to pass my test first.”
And that moment.
“surrender!”
The exam is over.
* * *
“Huh huh huh-.”
Lee Seong-yoon climbed onto the castle and took a deep breath.
There were players scattered around, targeting and attacking them.
They all had formidable skills as they had reached the 80th floor.
It was against a team made up of such people.
And that too alone.
It was my first experience like this since I started climbing the tower.
Fuuk-.
The flag was planted in a designated place.
OK.
[The first castle has been conquered.]
[1000 contribution points have been obtained.]
[27 minutes and 14 seconds.]
[Additional contribution points are paid according to the attack time.]
[510 contribution points have been obtained.]
The siege of the second castle has ended. A message came to mind.
It was a welcome message, but now was not the time to welcome it.
Now I had to think about the next thing.
Wagjag-.
I put the fruit I took out of my inventory into my mouth and chewed it. It was to help restore magical energy and replenish moisture, albeit slightly.
The retaking of the castle was successful.
Now the next thing was defense.
“Is there just one left?”
There have already been two successful sieges and one successful fortification.
Thanks to this, I was pretty low on stamina, but anyway, if I succeeded just one more time, I would pass the test.
This was my first time taking a test this difficult.
Originally, it was a test that should have included teammates who would reliably block his path and Hargan, the strongest spear and shield.
But now he was alone. There was no one to block the front or protect the back.
‘I was lucky that I didn’t meet the team leader.’
Closing his eyes and resting, Seongyoon Lee thought about the exams so far.
‘Daejinun is not bad. Now all I have to do is pass the next test well.’
If we were to face a team with Hargan, we had no chance of winning. Even if only one Hargan appeared on the team, I wasn’t confident that I could stop it.
I hope another team catches it.
Seongyoon Lee prayed like that and waited for the next test.
however.
“…Oh really.”
Jeopuk-.
Seeing the opponent who appeared in front of him, Lee Seong-yoon lost his motivation.
“Is there something like this?”
[The test begins.]
Yuwon walks toward the castle.
Clearly, he was taking the same test as himself on an equal footing.
However, during yesterday’s training, Seongyoon Lee realized that he was a player living on a completely different level from himself.
but.
That’s probably a fact that everyone in this tower already knows.
“Consider yourself unlucky.”
Lee Seong-yoon turned his head when he heard Yu-won’s voice coming up from the castle.
fluttering-.
He was already standing in front of the flag.
When did it come?
Once Yuwon held the flag in his hand, the test was over. Still, since we won three times including Siege and Mercury, there will be another opportunity.
however.
“What are you doing? “I won’t stop you.”
Yoo Won urged Lee Seong-yoon.
Lee Seong-yoon, who was about to give up and hand over the flag, was embarrassed and asked back.
“yes?”
“This is a test. Besides, I’m not really on your team.”
Tsutsutsutsu-.
Manapo appeared around Yuwon.
I could tell without even counting them.
A total of 101.
It was a number that Lee Seong-yoon could not block.
“Are you not going to stop it?”
“Just because I don’t stop it doesn’t mean it will stop, right?”
Tsutsutsutsu-.
Seongyoon Lee also created Manapo.
Mana cannons that have condensed enormous magical power. Compared to when I first met Yuwon, the number had clearly increased, and the quality of magical power in each one had also increased.
“I’m coming again.”
Seongyoon Lee’s eyes lit up.
And that moment.
Hwaaaaaaaaaaa!
Magical power emanates from his hundreds of mana cannons.
Fuuuuuu-!
The wall the two men were climbing shook greatly.
* * *
Qua-gwa-gwa-gwa-.
Colorless magic poured out like a waterfall.
The castle wall looked as if it might collapse at any moment, and cracks appeared.
Seongyoon Lee sweated as he looked at the waves crashing in front of him.
But that didn’t mean it seemed as difficult as before.
‘Have I adapted?’
It looks like he has adapted to handling up to 100 mana cannons.
It was difficult to say that this was an achievement achieved in just one day. It is a mystery that cannot be explained with just the word talent.
That means.
‘I guess it means that he had the ability to use this level of control from the beginning.’
The real thing started now.
A limit that you cannot deal with. In it, Seongyoon Lee shone more and more dazzlingly.
Lee Seong-yoon thought of a way to break through Yu-won’s magic.
If I create one more mana cannon here, will the results be different?
no.
Nothing changed. Yuwon had massive magical power, enough to create as many mana cannons as he could, and the control to use them.
If so, you need to find another way.
‘It’s concentration.’
The best you can do.
Seongyoon Lee closed his eyes. What Yuwon said came to his mind.
“With the feeling of drawing a circle with your left hand and a triangle with your right hand. “It is the sense that each object is handled by a completely different person.”
There was a big difference between knowing the principles and not knowing them.
Until then, I had been doing it by intuition, but now I was able to find a way to develop it.
Tsutsu tsutsutsu-.
More than a hundred mana cannons merge into one. If that many numbers were added together, it would have grown in size, but Lee Seong-yoon’s did not do that.
But that made it even more threatening.
‘If this is it.’
Confidence fills my heart.
I felt like I could get at least one hit.
imagination.
Seongyoon Lee thought of the most powerful and simple weapon he could think of.
If that’s the case…
‘It’s a gun.’
Extend your hands forward.
A small and weak-looking mana cannon.
Seongyoon Lee stretched out his hand toward it.
That moment.
‘This is a trigger.’
Hwaaaaaaaaaaa!
The mana cannon emitted a huge light.
Just one shot.
Although it is only one shot, unusual power is fired from the mana cannon. Lee Seong-yoon had no doubt that it would be different this time.
but.
“Not bad.”
Ahh-!
Despite his efforts, Lee Seong-yoon’s move broke off too easily.
“…!”
The sharpness of the sword approaching.
For a split second, Lee Seong-yoon felt as if his body was cut in half and his breath was cut off.
Without realizing it, Lee Seong-yoon wrapped one hand around his neck.
But fortunately, the only thing that was cut down was the mana cannon floating next to him.
“I just crossed one step over the threshold.”
Yuwon put the sword in his hand back.
A sword drawn reflexively. Even if he was hit, the sea’s protection would have been activated, so there wouldn’t have been much damage, but Lee Seong-yoon made him pull out his sword anyway.
And that alone meant that Lee Seong-yoon’s move just now was better than most rankers’ skills.
“If this is enough… “Is it a passing grade?”
He had the potential and skill to demonstrate this level of ability.
It made no sense to achieve this much growth in a short period of time, and all Yuwon did was to bring out the skills that had not been displayed.
‘Now the problem is me.’
Paget-.
Yuwon slightly loosened his grip on the sword and looked down at the black gloves.
Heart of Uranus.
An item that allows you to handle the magical power of all three attributes: Lightning, Darkness, and Water.
“Is that the item made from lightning that was taken from me?”
When they met again, Zeus saw Yuwon handling Uranus’ heart and said,
“You were rotting the treasure.”
It was Zeus who had been handling thunderbolts for thousands of years.
Maybe he knows.
How to deal with Uranus.
