Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 318

[Level Up with God Episode 318]

* * *

“Why are you wandering around here?”

There was clear hostility in Behemoth’s voice toward Yuwon.

but.

From the beginning, he didn’t like Yuwon that much.

In the vote on whether to participate in Ragnarok or not, he voted against.

It was the same this time too.

The sight of a large figure approaching, screaming something loudly, filled my field of vision.

Thump thump-.

“Didn’t you hear me?”

It might be unpleasant to see such unreasonable hostility, but I didn’t feel that way.

Just because the races are different.

That was just hostility stemming from that simple reason.

Above all, it was actually good news for Yuwon that Behemoth was hostile towards him in this way.

“There is no place for humans in this battle of the Heavenly Demon. “If you’re just talking about whether there’s anything to lose, even if it’s just beans…”

“Is the Battle of Heavenly Demon that noble?”

“what?”

“Why are you putting so much effort into something like that?”

Ppajik-.

Tendons sprouted from Behemoth’s forehead.

His eyes are bright red and bloodshot, and in an instant, a destructive force powerfully radiates from his body.

‘Ranking 81st. Behemoth, Lord of the Giants.’

He was the biggest problem on the Demon King’s side.

“It was because of Behemoth.”

Odin also contacted the Demon King several times and requested that the Heavenly Demon War be stopped.

At that time, he was also somewhat wary of not only foolish chaos but also forces outside the tower.

But the answer that came back was not Diablo’s.

Behemoth.

He has answered Asgard on behalf of the Demon King.

“He thought that the Heavenly Demon War was the biggest event in the demon world. “I thought that fighting and war were the meaning of the existence of demons and were absolutely necessary.”

Hardliners.

Even in the demon world, it was the force that was at the forefront of insisting that angels be wiped out.

Behemoth is the most influential Demon Lord even among the hardliners. That was probably why he opposed Ragnarok at first.

‘Because we cannot lose the power of the Demon World in Ragnarok.’

They opposed it because they were concerned that there would be a disruption in the Cheonma Daejeon.

Of course, as a result, Ragnarok brought benefits to the demon world.

The angels who participated in the Heavenly Demon War together wasted a lot of their strength, and Michael, who could be said to be their core strength, was also injured.

“What did you say now? What is Cheonma Daejeon? Something like that?”

To that extent, Behemoth risked his life in the Heavenly Demon War.

Among the Demon Lords, he was ranked second only to Diablo and Baal and considered the Heavenly Demon War to be the best opportunity to increase his ranking.

Obsession with the Battle of Heavenly Demon.

And that obsession has now become Behemoth’s anger toward Yuwon.

“How dare you say that your mouth is open….”

“I’m requesting a ranking battle.”

“War of rankings?”

Behemoth looked down at Yuwon in bewilderment.

Ranking match.

Regardless of ranking, the main method was to fight when demons wanted to determine their superiority and inferiority to each other.

Ranking matches were a fairly old tradition in the demon world.

It has been going on since before the demon world entered the tower in the olden days when rankings did not exist.

Nowadays, as time has passed, it is also a half-forgotten culture.

“How do you know about rankings?”

It was a culture that had been forgotten enough that even Behemoth, one of the Demon Lords, recalled that such a thing existed.

However, Yuwon challenged Behemoth to a ranking match as if it was only natural.

It was as if he was waiting to place him at his feet.

“Is it that important?”

“That’s not true…”

Behemoth’s eyebrows furrowed.

The ranking battle was strictly conducted as a one-on-one fight. And it was different from the picture Behemoth drew earlier.

‘It’s becoming a nuisance.’

Yuwon, a human, was in a lonely position in the demon world.

The demons would follow the instructions of the demon king himself, and of course, if a conflict broke out, all of the demons would become allies.

However, when it comes to rankings, the story is different.

Although it is a forgotten culture, ranking battles have long been considered sacred in the demon world.

You cannot hope for support from your allies.

‘This guy’s ranking is probably…’

Behemoth’s gaze turned to the player kit in his arms.

Yuwon’s recent ranking came to mind.

‘If it breaks here, there is no greater shame than that.’

Just in case.

If something like that were to happen, there would be no greater embarrassment. Moreover, with the Battle of the Heavenly Demon now approaching, it was even worse to do something major at a time like this.

While I was thinking about it like that, it suddenly occurred to me.

I thought of a good excuse.

“What kind of ranking war are you, a human being?”

Ranking matches are exclusive to the demon race.

However, it was impossible for Yuwon, a human, to participate in such a ranking battle between demons.

“You are not qualified. But how dare you….”

“If you have the qualifications, you have it.”

“what?”

“Me too.”

Tsutsutsutsu-.

A reddish energy began to radiate from Yuwon’s body.

Behemoth’s eyes widened.

“He’s half a demon.”

It wasn’t that great, but what I felt from Yuwon was definitely ‘magic energy’.

An energy that only demons possess. Yuwon had that energy.

“how…?”

“I don’t know how.”

Yuwon also knew that ranking battles were a tradition unique to the demon tribe.

Nevertheless, the reason why Yuwon was able to think of the ranking battle was because he judged that there was some room for him to be recognized as a member of the devil tribe.

“Are you going to do it or not?”

When asked if he was going to back out even in this situation, Behemoth showed a perplexed expression.

He could feel the gaze of the demons around him, looking at Yuwon and himself.

There it is.

“Are you even scared?”

As if he had just come out of the barracks, Diablo was standing in the middle of the group of demons, laughing at Behemoth.

“I’m embarrassed, Behemoth.”

“Diablo…”

Behemoth gritted his teeth.

I tried to pretend that nothing had happened on the outside, but Behemoth wasn’t that patient.

‘Are you saying you’re going to push that guy?’

What on earth was being discussed in that barracks?

Behemoth thought that Yuwon and Diablo might have conspired to drive him out.

Otherwise, the two would not have been able to get along so well.

‘The cause has passed over there.’

Yuwon showed off his magical energy in front of numerous demons.

Although it is only half, it means that Yuwon possesses the power of a demon race.

A situation where judgment is ambiguous.

However, in that situation, Diablo, the king of the demon world, spoke words that seemed to approve of the ranking battle.

With this, it was as if Yuwon had the authority to compete for rank.

“shit.”

I didn’t like it.

Even if I won this fight, it was worth it.

Moreover, considering the opponent’s ranking, there was no guarantee that he would win.

‘Diablo you…’

Behemoth’s eyes suddenly turned to Diablo.

Diablo, who made eye contact, was puzzled as to why he was looking at me like that, but Behemoth didn’t even like that expression.

‘OK. I know what you’re thinking. But you were wrong.’

Behemoth looked back at the amusement park and shouted.

“Everyone, move back 2 kilometers in all directions!”

“2 kilos?”

“Perhaps…”

“Perhaps, what is it? Hey, hurry up and run!”

“why? “What’s going on?”

“Behemoth…”

The demons became busy.

Among the demons who were watching the fight with interest from up close, there were some who started a fight and ran away.

And those people have one thing in common.

The point was that they were old demons who had seen Behemoth’s true form.

“I accept the challenge of ranking.”

Behemoth, who raised his fierce spirit toward Yuwon, glanced closely at Diablo, who was making an interesting expression.

‘I will thoroughly trample on the chess piece you set up.’

And so, let Behemoth accept the ranking war.

[The ranking battle begins.]

[Win against Beemot, ranked 3rd in the rankings.]

[If you win the ranking battle, you will be recognized by the demons.]

[When you win, your ranking will be reflected according to the results.]

There is a separate system for the demons . There seemed to be a ranking.

As time passed, ranking management bureaus were created and rankings became a measure of power and strength, their meaning faded, but rankings were rankings anyway.

In particular, the demon race was a race that valued rank.

Although they no longer recognize Yuwon as one of their own, the story will change once they defeat Behemoth.

If Yuwon wins this fight, he will have the right to be recognized as a member of the demon tribe.

‘It also puts the brakes on Behemoth.’

Cluck, cluck, cluck-.

Yuwon looked at Behemoth, which began to swell in real time before his eyes.

Behemoth quickly grew in size as if his body were a balloon.

A body that grows huge in an instant.

Yuwon raised his head. The sight of Behemoth, as huge as Gigantes, caught my eye.

It didn’t end there.

Gugugugugu-.

Behemoth continued to grow bigger without knowing the end.

More than twice that of Gigantes.

The distance of 2 kilometers was only the minimum distance.

Even at this moment, the demons were doing their best to move away so as not to be caught up in Behemoth’s movements.

‘Behemoth. ‘The largest living thing as big as a small island.’

Not the strongest, but the greatest.

It was a nickname given to it because of its ridiculously large size.

thud-.

Behemoth’s legs shook the ground.

Hot snort came out from Behemoth’s nose, which had returned to its original form.

Two bright red eyes. Long horns that grew from one to two.

It looked like a huge bull.

An incredibly large amount of magical power emanated from the body, which was large enough to cover the entire surrounding area.

They said it was a creature that could destroy a city with just one gesture, and that was indeed true.

“You’re really ignorant.”

Yuwon was slightly surprised by the size, which was bigger than expected.

Behemoth.

I had only heard about him, but it was Yuwon’s first time seeing him in person.

-If you regret it now, it’s already too late.

Grrrr-.

An animal-like howl came out from between the gaping teeth.

It was several times larger than Surtur or Gigantes, and gave off a sense of intimidation that was difficult to even just face.

In reality, most people were frightened by Behemoth’s true appearance and gave up fighting.

“regret?”

However, Yuwon instead laughed at Behemoth’s fearful appearance.

“It’s just size, right?”

The rankings immediately proved that fact.

For someone of that size, he ranks lower than Baal, let alone Diablo.

Yuwon was reassured by the fact that it was bigger than he expected.

“Being that size and that size means that you really have nothing to show off other than how big you are.”

-Sounds cheeky…

Paget-.

Behemoth raised his head at the feeling of magical power above his head.

That high sky above your own height.

Before I knew it, a thick, dark cloud was hanging over it.

‘Why are the clouds here?’

It was natural to feel strange.

This is a world ruled by heaven.

Originally, clouds could not exist in a world that exists above clouds.

Unless someone created it.

“If there was only one big thing to believe in…”

Paget Paget-.

An enormous amount of magical energy filled the clouds.

Until Behemoth turned into the huge size it is now.

Yuwon didn’t have good manners enough to wait quietly for that long time.

“In the end, it will collapse in the face of a greater power.”

Sigh-.

Yuwon raised his hand up.

A small ring just the right size for Yuwon’s ring finger sparkled.

And that moment.

Stop it!

The ring on my finger became a lightning rod.
