Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 298
[Level Up with God Episode 298]
* * *
Three teams passed the test on the 80th floor.
no.
To be exact, there was one team and two people.
“I really didn’t think I would pass.”
“I know. “Is it pretty?”
“Don’t make fun of me, I really thought I was going to die….”
A small bar in the city.
Surrounded by his original team members, Seongyoon Lee slumped down in his seat, groaning.
I have just finished my exam and have now moved up to the next floor.
Seongyoon Lee could not control his shaking legs.
And that fatigue and relieved tension quickly turned into resentment.
“If you’ve done that much, isn’t it okay to give up at least one flag?”
The target of resentment was Yuwon, who had naturally blended into the team at some point.
When he faced him in the siege, Yuwon clearly said, ‘I passed.’
It meant that, to some extent, he had crossed the line of his expectations.
Of course, the result fell far short of Lee Seong-yoon’s expectations. Although it was an incredible blow in his opinion, in the end, it did not cause even the slightest injury to Yuwon.
But anyway, I passed.
Lee Seong-yoon secretly hoped that Yoo-won would make a concession.
but.
“Where is there anything for the test? “You can climb up on your own.”
“It was strange that I participated in the team test alone in the first place.”
“Thanks to you, don’t you know more now?”
Yuwon lifted his glass, quenched his thirst a little, and continued speaking.
“What makes you different from others?”
“….”
In the past, Lee Seong-yoon would have shaken his head and said he didn’t know, but this time, he became mute.
He also realized it.
What kind of talent do you have? How much is your worth and how far can you go?
“From the moment you set your own ceiling, your bowl becomes correspondingly smaller. “If you just keep that in mind, you will be much faster than you are now.”
“…I’ll keep that in mind.”
The guy who was complaining about how difficult it was just a moment ago quickly nods his head and chews something in his mouth.
Lee Seong-yoon was definitely quick to realize this.
‘It’s a guy with big buds.’
Originally, it was a short companionship that started to raise Hargan.
However, in Yuwon’s opinion, the Hargan had already grown enough sprouts and even the base fertilizer was in perfect condition.
As the prince of Olympus since I was young, I have seen and learned many things. Of course, his ideals were high and his aspirations were broad.
On the other hand, Seongyoon Lee was next to Hargan and did not fully realize his own value.
‘What these two need is time.’
The other team members also had the necessary qualities to become great rankers, but those two were on a different level from them.
If given time, it is clear that he will become a top high ranker.
What Yuwon did was simply bring the time forward a little more.
“But what’s going on?”
Hargan looked at Yuwon strangely.
A gathering to commemorate passing the exam.
It wasn’t that he wasn’t welcome, but it didn’t seem natural for Yuwon to be here right now.
“You spend all your time doing this.”
In Hargan’s mind, Yuwon was a friend who was too busy to even have a drink.
Of course, it was difficult to even dream of climbing the tower together, let alone having an after-party like this.
But why is Yuwon here with us?
“There are people waiting.”
“who?”
“You’ll probably be surprised when you hear it.”
Yuwon is the kind of person who would say something like this.
The ears of the team members gathered at the table perked up. Everyone waited with bated breath for the next words to come out, wondering how great the name would be.
But no matter how much time passes.
“So who is it?”
There was no reply from Yuwon.
Yoo Won pretended not to hear anything and raised his empty glass.
“Here, just one more drink-.”
“hey!”
* * *
Stop phages!
A golden lightning filled my eyes. For a moment, his vision darkened and Yuwon reflexively stretched out his hand.
Kwaang-!
A heavy fist came into my hand. The blackout vision returned and Hargan’s embarrassed face appeared.
Buuuuung-.
Whoops!
Hargan’s head turned.
At that moment, Hargan’s body, which was flying forward, bounced in the opposite direction and flew away.
Bang bang kwajik-!
Several trees fell, creating a small road. Yuwon walked towards Hargan buried among the fallen trees.
“The method is simple enough to be obvious even without using any skills. “If you do that, you may be able to win against an opponent who is weaker than you, but you will never be able to win against an opponent whose skills are similar or better than you.”
“Gun…”
Kkeeeee thump-.
Hargan pushed the pile of wood away with one hand and stood up with a groan.
My chin was sore from being hit, but it wasn’t a big enough shock to cause me to pass out. This meant that Yuwon had enough leeway to control his strength.
“You don’t have the nerve to fight. “I guess it’s because I’m so used to fighting against the weak.”
“Are you saying I should get used to fighting strong opponents?”
“It is natural to win against an opponent who is weaker than you, and you can only become truly stronger when you win a fight against an opponent who is stronger than you.”
Hargan’s magical power was special.
Born with the blood of Zeus and the power of thunderbolts, he has been crushing his opponents with overwhelming power.
Right now, he was skilled enough to quickly defeat several player teams and take on several ranked players.
And that was actually poison to Hargan.
A simple and ignorant fighting method.
At some point, that type of fighting became entrenched and became a habit.
Yuwon was not confident that he could teach Hargan better than Zeus.
In the first place, it was impossible to become a better teacher than Zeus in terms of lightning attributes.
So Yuwon decided to teach Hargan how to fight.
“Start again… ugh!”
Hargan, who was standing up, frowned.
My legs were numb. No matter how mildly you were hit, if you were beaten non-stop all day, the shock was bound to accumulate.
My legs didn’t move.
Yuwon also realized that Hargan’s condition was slowly reaching its limit.
Yuwon, who had gained magical power, approached Hargan.
“Take a break.”
“Just rest a little and you’ll be fine.”
“You need to get enough rest. “It’s also important to rest.”
“That’s because I’m the worst at it.”
Tuk Tuk-.
While grumbling, Hargan hit his leg with his fist and began applying medicine to the wound with his other hand.
It seemed like he wanted to recover as soon as possible and get back together again.
“It’s nice that we’ve been together for a long time.”
three days.
It was the time when Yoo Won watched Hargan and Lee Seong-yoon’s training.
“Really, how great of a person is this that you’re waiting this long?”
Hargan was someone who couldn’t stand being curious.
He has already asked the same question more than ten times. However, Yuwon did not even flinch at the question and often pretended not to notice, averting his gaze and saying something else.
If they were weaker than him, they would have forced him to open his mouth, but he wasn’t a worthy opponent.
“Isn’t it time to tell me something?”
Words spoken out of frustration.
“Of course.”
“okay. That’s right…what?”
Hargan was taken aback by the sudden change in reaction.
This guy who seemed like he would never talk just an hour or two ago opened his mouth so easily.
‘Has what I’ve been asking for so far paid off?’
I don’t think that’s the kind of guy that would work, but it was good anyway.
I wanted to quickly answer any questions I had before I changed my mind.
“so? who?”
“It’s Zeus.”
“Zeus? “My father?”
Hargan jumped up from his seat.
If I woke up too quickly, my legs would shake. Yuwon looked up at Hargan, who was rushing by, and asked.
“Are your legs okay?”
“Is your leg a problem now?”
It was quite a hasty reaction.
but.
This is why I didn’t answer.
“He’ll probably try to run away as soon as he finds out I’m coming back.”
“Why? “I don’t think Hargan would hate you that much.”
“The training was a bit difficult.”
From Zeus’ answer, Yuwon thought that Hargan was less persistent than he thought.
However, when I personally took charge of Hargan’s training as requested, that was not the case.
‘What on earth did I do to get this reaction?’
In the meantime, Hargan tried to escape as much as possible with his loose legs. His reaction was as if Zeus would appear here at any moment and eat him.
“Stay still. “You can’t go anywhere anyway.”
“I’m saying this because you don’t know. “What a toxic person my father is.”
My voice is shaking.
It was my first time.
Seeing Hargan tremble like this.
“A few more days and I would have died. “I couldn’t do anything and turned into a chicken… my father… the devil…”
“You’re being mean to your father.”
Hargan was startled.
Hargan stiffened like a hamster and slowly turned his head. I hoped it wasn’t the case, but as expected, I hadn’t heard wrong.
“Oh father?”
Zeus.
He was a hand taller than Hargan and was looking down at him from behind.
“I’m sorry.”
At Yuwon’s apology, Hargan realized that it was no coincidence that Zeus was here.
As long as their eyes met, there was no way for them to escape from Zeus.
Now it was time to go back to being taught by Zeus like before.
“As you said, he is a surprising person.”
Hargan now sits down on the floor again with a resigned voice.
Yuwon looked into the eyes of Zeus, who appeared behind Hargan.
‘Has something changed?’
It was hard to guess what kind of change was happening just by looking at the outside.
He got Indra’s heart.
Ranking 6th, it was a heart that consumed the blood of countless dragons and possessed enormous magical power and brain power.
Zeus, who had lost his thunderbolt, wanted to obtain it and regain his former power.
no.
If Yuwon’s prediction is correct, he should have become stronger than when he had the thunderbolt.
‘What and how much has changed…’
Golden sparkling eyes.
Yuwon saw it and asked.
“Are you satisfied?”
“so so.”
It wasn’t a bad answer.
He, who didn’t seem to be satisfied, gave a positive answer, saying it was okay.
Perhaps now once again.
It seemed like there would be a big change in the top rankings.
Zeus’ head moved.
The surroundings were in chaos due to training with Hargan.
He rolled his golden eyes and opened his mouth.
“I’m the last one.”
“It’s very late.”
“…?”
Hargan looked puzzled at the conversation between the two.
It’s too late.
Hargan looked around, wondering if it was possible.
OK.
“I never thought a day like this would come again.”
Sssssssssssssssssssss-.
A cloud of smoke.
At the same time, the bright weather suddenly turned into night. In his blurred vision, Hargan suddenly noticed that a person who had not been there before had appeared.
That wasn’t all.
“It’s not a very happy reunion.”
The salty scent of the sea pierced my nose.
This voice and this smell.
It belonged to someone I couldn’t forget.
Hargan rubbed his eyes in doubt.
And the next moment.
“Wow…”
An unbelievable scene came into his eyes.
Two people standing in front of Zeus.
Hades Poseidon.
The three main gods of Olympus gathered in one place.
