Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 334
[Level Up with God Episode 334]
A long, sharp horn.
The surface is so sharp and smooth that it looks like it was crafted.
A golden flash of light.
And the strange, even magical energy felt within it.
“What do you see?”
Hercules nodded with confidence in response to Yuwon’s question.
“I guess that’s right.”
It looks just like what I heard.
It is said that Kerineia’s horn has a mysterious power, and if you boil it and boil it, it becomes the elixir of heaven.
There was no way Yuwon could have created something like that, and he wasn’t the type to scam someone like this.
then.
Whirick-.
Yuwon threw Kerineia’s horn and lightly caught it back in his hand.
“Were you planning ahead of time?”
Hercules’ eyes were fixed on Ceryneia’s horn.
I don’t know how he caught it, but it was Yuwon who caught Kerineia.
Ownership was with Yuwon, and with this, his work was virtually in vain.
“If you take this with you, there won’t be any major problems with the task.”
“Do you want to negotiate?”
“okay.”
“How much do you want?”
It wasn’t the usual look in Hercules’ eyes.
What kind of bet was made with Hera was so intense.
It felt a little dangerous.
There was only one case where Hercules had eyes like that.
When you have faith.
This is the eye you have when you believe that you are doing the right thing and that it is justice.
In most cases like this, he’s not wrong, but…
‘Stubbornness has always been that guy’s biggest weakness.’
Kuuk-.
Yuwon strongly grasped Kerineia’s horn in his hand.
Hercules in this state was dangerous.
If negotiations don’t go well, they may try to take the horn by force.
Is it because he read the boundaries of the amusement park?
Hercules stood up.
“You know I didn’t do this hoping for points.”
Hercules asked Yuwon’s words.
“then?”
“Let’s walk together from now on.”
“Accompanying?”
“I heard you are doing twelve tasks.”
“Do you want to accompany me here?”
Hercules’ brow twitched.
His displeased mood was revealed on his face. Hercules was someone who rarely showed signs of being upset about anything.
“This is meaningless if you don’t do it alone.”
“You probably don’t want to be a hero…”
Yuwon stroked his chin as if he was suspicious and looked straight into Hercules’ eyes.
“What bet did you make?”
Hwareuk-.
One eye is red and the other is golden.
There was nothing like this to know the inside. Hercules also realized that Yuwon was trying to find out about him.
“Hwaan Geumjeong….”
Eyes that can detect lies.
I could have made some excuse to avoid those eyes. Hercules sighed and let out what was inside.
“Hera believes that her father’s authority should belong to her.”
“You mean the king’s seat?”
“okay. “That position should be yours, not Uncle Hades or Uncle Poseidon.”
It wasn’t entirely wrong.
The reason Hades took over Zeus’ place was because Hades was the main player in destroying Olympus.
The new king who overthrew the tyrant Zeus.
The ranking was also the highest in Olympus, excluding Zeus, so there was no shortage.
But from Hera’s perspective, it wouldn’t have been that way.
“In fact, Hera’s influence within Olympus is greater than that of her uncles. “It was because she naturally absorbed the forces that followed her father.”
“So this problem arose.”
“okay. “The scales have been balanced.”
Although Hades was highly ranked, he was the lord of hell.
Hades, whose power was not that great, was bound to not be in a very solid position.
On the other hand, even though her ranking was relatively low, Hera had countless rankers and powers.
A situation worthy of a fight.
Moreover, she had sufficient justification for the position of king.
“You can’t decide which side is right and which is wrong. “It is natural that she will take back her father’s place.”
“What about Hades?”
“You are of the position that history cannot be repeated. “If Hera takes power again, we might end up fighting against the giants again.”
Hades was trying to stop the fight with the giants that had been going on for a long time and make peace.
On the other hand, Hera was of the position that Hades was ruining what Zeus had achieved so far.
The important thing was Hercules.
Hades and Hera. The outcome of this fight will vary depending on which side of the two he stands on.
“Which side are you?”
“I want to avoid fighting with the giants whenever possible.”
“Then it has been decided which side you will be on.”
“Just…”
Just.
The moment those words came out, Yuwon seemed to know what was going to be said.
“I want to avoid shedding any more blood.”
He was extremely idealistic and pacifist.
I want to end the conflict without fighting.
That greed brought Hercules to this position.
“So I went to see her. “Stop fighting.”
“Then you proposed this bet.”
“okay.”
Hercules nodded.
“If I succeed in all twelve tasks, I will give up everything and step down. “That’s what you said.”
I thought so.
Although he had only seen her once, Yuwon remembered his impression of Hera.
My impression of Hera was so vivid that I could remember it just by seeing it once.
‘It’s still the same.’
Ambition and desire. And miasma.
These were words that could describe Hera.
She did whatever it took to achieve her goals. In order to overcome the great wall called Hercules, she chose the twelve tasks.
Through this bet, Hercules decided to shoulder the conflict within Olympus alone.
In order to prevent a fight in which blood would inevitably flow like a river, he would never back down easily.
“Do you think Hera will keep her promise?”
“I will protect it. “Otherwise I will break her neck.”
A voice full of confidence.
but.
No matter how much Hera was, she wouldn’t have the guts to break her promise to Hercules.
If you do that, you will somehow turn the neutral giant into an enemy.
“Now that you know, give it to me. “There is no room for you, an outsider, to intervene in this bet.”
“I knew, but…”
In Yuwon’s eyes, it seemed like Hercules had already been caught in a trap.
But Hercules’ stubbornness is already too deeply entrenched to explain that.
“Because I still can’t trust her.”
“It doesn’t make sense.”
“Is there a need to be so stubborn? “It’s not like I’m trying to interfere with the task.”
“You must pass the task on your own. “That’s the point of this bet.”
As expected, words like this cannot solve the problem.
Yuwon glanced at the wound on Hercules’ shoulder.
Wounds inflicted by Hydra.
Yuwon looked at the wound for a moment and opened his mouth.
“The third task is probably the most difficult hurdle for you. “It would be better to fight, because you were the type of person who had built a wall around hunting like this.”
“But it’s not like I can’t catch even a deer.”
“It’s not just a deer, it’s a kerineia. Even Artemis had a hard time catching it.”
As time went on, Hercules’ face became more distorted.
“so?”
“It’s one of two things.”
Sooooo-.
Seeing that Yuwon was about to reach for it at any moment, he put the horn in his inventory.
“You can either come with me or stop here.”
Hercules’ eyebrows twitched again at those words.
“If it’s an offer like that, I refuse.”
No one could stop Hercules’ stubbornness. When it came to stubbornness, he was on par with Son Goku.
But Yuwon knew the only way to break that stubbornness.
“Then why don’t you come out and make a bet?”
“bet?”
“It’s a fight between you and me.”
Hercules gave a puzzled look.
“That’s too much of a bet for me.”
No matter how high the amusement park’s ranking was, the gap between Hercules and the amusement park was not small.
And of course, Yuwon was not unaware of that.
“okay. “I guess so.”
“You knowingly suggest such a bet?”
“Thirty minutes.”
“Thirty minutes?”
“If I fall within thirty minutes, you win. If the fight does not end there, my victory.”
Yuwon, who said that, shrugged his shoulders and continued shamelessly.
“Because it’s impossible for me to defeat you in the first place.”
It might be possible to throw Nir, but there was no way that was possible with Hercules in front of him.
This was not a fight that had to be won.
Thirty minutes.
It is a fight where you have to withstand the fist of Hercules for that period of time.
“Thirty minutes…”
Hercules was lost in thought for a moment.
Thirty minutes was not a short time.
Normally, it would pass so quickly that you wouldn’t even know when it had passed, but in a fight for life, time would flow in different ways.
Moreover, there is a significant gap in skills.
“that word.”
Wow-.
Hercules clenched his fists.
“Don’t regret it.”
It was the moment when the bet was settled.
* * *
Jeopuk Jeopuk-.
Two people walked in different directions.
Hercules moved until the distance was wide enough and opened his mouth.
“You always help me.”
chuck-.
The two turned around at the same time, regardless of who went first.
“It’s amazing that you can solve the task I thought was the most troublesome so easily.”
“It’s still too early to say it’s resolved.”
“well-.”
thud-.
Another step.
Hercules’ steps toward the amusement park echoed on the ground.
How much force is transmitted into the ground through the soles of the feet?
It almost felt like the bodies I was facing were being crushed.
“I don’t think so.”
Coo coo coo coo coo-.
Sweat flowed from Yuwon’s forehead, weighed down by the atmosphere of Hercules.
A breath-taking force radiated from the huge man, well over 2 meters tall.
gulp-.
Dry saliva passed down my throat with difficulty.
‘Maybe this will be the hardest fight.’
It was a pretty spontaneous bet.
It was absurd.
You have to endure for 30 minutes against Hercules, who holds the club of Yggdrasil in his hand.
But I couldn’t help it.
From Hercules’ point of view, if it wasn’t a bet that was 100% guaranteed to win, he wouldn’t have accepted the bet in the first place.
In reality, although he was confident of his victory, he appeared to be worried for a moment.
okay.
Although it was difficult, this was the only way in the end.
To break that stubbornness.
Yuwon took out his player kit and checked the time.
“It’s 11:28 now.”
Tick-.
“31 seconds.”
“It starts in 30 minutes.”
“Okay, let’s do that.”
1 minute 30 seconds.
There was too little time to catch my breath and draw a picture of the fight.
Yuwon closed his eyes.
How should we resolve this fight?
I drew a black and white picture with a clock hand in my head.
So time passes.
Skak-.
Yuwon opened his eyes again and pulled out his sword.
It’s time.
[‘Hwaan Geumjeong’ reads the path.]
[‘Sense zone’ is activated.]
Hwareuk-.
Seaaaa-.
Yuwon’s eyes glowed with different colors, and all the signs around him became clearer.
It was not a fight that could be fought by conserving magical power.
This fight might be-
“Let’s begin.”
-Even if you give your all, it won’t be enough.
