Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 336
[Level Up with the Gods Episode 336]
* * *
Sharp blue eyes penetrated Hercules’ body.
At the same time, black magic power crept up from Susanoo’s body.
King of the Dead.
Susanoo was revived by the power of that title.
Hercules smoothed the back of his neck with his hand.
‘Not usually.’
It’s been a long time since a sword felt like this.
There were many swordsmen in Olympus, but I can assure you that there was no one with that level of skill.
I was confident that after I trained my body to a certain extent, I would never be cut by a blade such as a sword.
The Susanoo in front of me was an exception.
‘It’s been a long time since I felt like I was going to get cut.’
A red sword held in his hand.
It wasn’t an ordinary feeling.
I could feel the anticipation of getting cut just by getting closer. A smell like blood spread into the air, and blades of grass nearby were cut sharply and scattered in the wind.
There was only one sword in this tower with that level of prowess.
‘Is it Kusanagi’s sword?’
An item I only heard about through rumors.
Yuwon possessed it, but Susanoo was the one who could utilize the item best.
Swords, spears, and even long-distance combat.
Unlike Yuwon, who showed versatile abilities, Susanoo was so skilled with the sword that he was nicknamed the Sword Demon.
Hercules’ gaze this time turned to the mirror shield held in Susanoo’s other hand.
If the red sword was Kusanagi, it was obvious what the other shield would be.
‘Yata’s Mirror.’
I don’t know what abilities that item may have latent.
If there are two of the three gods, there must be another one.
Hercules clicked his tongue when he saw the bead connected to Kusanagi.
“This… isn’t easy.”
Susanoo Orani armed with the Three Gods.
His strength had already been proven in previous tests. Susanoo’s power to block 10,000 players was already assessed to be no different from its prime.
Of course, Susanoo was only half-hearted as he did not have the power to command tens of thousands of undead troops.
However, if he had the Three Gods in his hands, the story was different.
chuck-.
Hercules aimed his club forward.
“come.”
Susanoo doesn’t shy away from fighting.
Despite the brief provocation, Susanoo burst into laughter.
-Good, good!
Seaaat-.
Smoothly, as if gliding across the ice, Susanoo ran towards Hercules.
The distance narrows in an instant. The moment he judged that he was within range of the club, Hercules swung the club.
Boom-.
Susanoo did not move his sword.
What are you trying to do?
The thought was fleeting.
That moment.
Pot-.
Susanoo’s figure disappeared from his seat.
“…!”
Giiiing-.
Susanoo, who had disappeared, appeared behind Hercules.
The same appearance as if reflected in a mirror.
Susanoo’s Kusanagi emitted red light.
Cheok-!
Fit-.
Kusanagi cut Hercules’ back, and with a dull sound, a wound appeared on Hercules’ back.
A brief stumble. When Hercules turned around again, he could not see Susanoo again.
Pot Pot-.
It wasn’t just moving quickly.
There was no ranker anywhere in this tower who could move this fast.
‘Is it Yata’s mirror?’
Poop puk puk!
Fit peeeit-.
He crossed both arms to protect his head and swung the club sharply once.
However, the club just passed through the air and could not reach Susanoo.
instead.
Flash!
Kwarung-!
A sharp spear of lightning flew over Hercules’ body and struck him.
It was a much more elaborate and perfectly crafted thunderbolt than before.
Stumble-.
A body that cannot rest for a while.
And Susanoo’s sword penetrated between them.
Giiing-.
[‘Eight-Cheok Magatama’ shines.]
[‘Giantization’ resists ‘Eight-Cheok Magatama’.]
[All abilities decrease by 5.2%.]
[Pain resistance decreases by 22.5%.]
[Physical Resistance This drops by 15.9%.]
[‘Attribute: Confusion’ is granted.]
[‘Attribute: Confusion’ was successfully resisted.]
My body felt a little sluggish, but it felt sluggish. I felt uncomfortable, as if I was wearing clothes that didn’t fit.
While my body was shackled for a while.
Wow!
Susanoo’s sword cut into Hercules’ chest.
Ji-Ik-.
Hercules’ massive body flew backwards due to the barrage of sword strikes.
Hercules lowered his head and looked at the front of his chest.
cut down
Blood flowed.
Toad-duk-.
Susanoo, as was his habit, shook the blood off his sword onto the ground.
Drops of blood falling in a straight line.
-I wish your body was in better shape.
Susanoo recognized that Hercules’ body was not normal.
The state of being poisoned.
Naturally, my body became sluggish and it was difficult to exert strength.
[‘Status Abnormality: Addiction’ rises to level 3.]
The addiction, which had stopped at level 2, has risen to level 3.
It wasn’t a life-threatening situation yet.
Even at this level, Hercules’ resilience was enough to allow natural recovery.
But not in the current situation.
-I want to wait, but…
Spot-.
Susanoo’s figure disappeared from his seat again.
-Because my master doesn’t want that.
When we say owner, we naturally mean the amusement park.
We both wanted to win this bet somehow.
‘I feel like I’m caught in a trap.’
Susanoo, wearing all three sacred weapons, was strong.
Enough to hold his own in close combat.
The same was true of Yuwon’s thunderbolt flying from afar.
Hephaestus’ masterpiece created based on Zeus’ thunderbolt. If you continue to be struck by lightning using the power of that item, your body will definitely take a hit little by little.
Plus.
After all, at a time like this, the hydra’s poison still remained in my body.
‘Did you picture this situation?’
Cheok-!
Kwagwagwagwa-!
The club he swung and Kusanagi collided with. The power of the eight-pointed bead surrounded Kusanagi, and Susanoo used Yata’s mirror to escape without much shock.
And sure enough.
Flash!
Lightning flying from the same direction.
Kwarung-!
I stretched out one hand and grabbed the lightning bolt. The thunderbolt, which had been shaking for a while, shattered into pieces in the palm of Hercules.
Wow-.
Hercules clenched his numb palms tightly.
‘The fight became a long one.’
If it was like this, the fight couldn’t end so quickly.
Susanoo runs in again.
‘Thirty minutes.’
Boom-.
When I swung the club in my hand as hard as I could,
‘I somehow finished it within that.’
Kwaang-!
The ground on which Hercules was standing was turned upside down.
* * *
I felt the mana that was filling my body burning away quickly.
It was the magic power that went into maintaining Susanoo.
“It’s really gross.”
It’s so scary!
[‘Heart of Uranus’ creates ‘Thunderbolt’.]
How many times have I seen this message already?
I thought this was probably the first time that so much lightning had come down. No matter how many thunderbolts were thrown, Hercules held on without flinching.
Even so, Susanoo was dangerous because he did not want to throw the lightning bolt.
‘Even a brief gap is dangerous.’
Susanoo indeed showed his skills as expected.
Thanks to pouring in a lot of magical energy, he displayed the abilities of his prime and was able to handle the Three Gods, including Kusanagi, to a near-perfect level.
In particular, his skills in handling Kusanagi are truly outstanding.
However, it was still not enough to deal with Hercules, who wielded Yggdrasil’s club.
Boom-.
The club is swung with all its might.
Quauuuu-!
Susanoo’s body was blown away by the wind pressure. Even though he wasn’t hit from the front with a club, it was that powerful.
‘I can’t believe I’m addicted.’
What would have happened if I hadn’t been poisoned by the hydra?
It would have been difficult to last even 10 minutes, let alone 30 minutes.
As time went by, the poison spread more and more, but Hercules did not weaken.
Or rather, he seemed to be getting stronger.
It was mental strength.
‘This was Hercules.’
A person with an indomitable will that nothing can stop.
A steel-like hero who can break down even high, insurmountable walls.
Because he was such a Hercules, Yuwon had no choice but to fight like he did now.
Dealing with him as usual was still too much for me right now.
‘sorry.’
To the future person he knew.
And to Hercules who is now in front of us.
Yuwon apologized for being unable to fight in this situation and threw the spear again.
‘I have to win this time.’
* * *
Throwback-!
Susanoo’s body was pushed back and flew away.
Wind pressure emitted from the club.
That force pushed Susanoo away.
-How….
Susanoo couldn’t finish his words about how he didn’t get tired with his body.
It was because of the grasp of Hercules, who was right in front of us.
[‘Palcheok Jade’ restricts the target’s movement.]
[Target resists ‘Palcheok Jade’.]
[Resistance is mostly successful.]
Spot-.
Hercules’ hand grazed the side of Susanoo’s head.
It was truly a narrow difference. It would not have been possible to avoid it if it had not slowed down its movements slightly with the Palcheok Jade.
Pot paat-.
Susanoo hurriedly widened the distance and sighed.
It felt like I was standing in front of a huge wild boar running towards me. While I was momentarily relieved at the thought that if I couldn’t avoid it, it would have been over.
“Now I know a little bit of the trick.”
Hercules’ confident voice was heard.
“I won’t miss it next time.”
It was not a simple provocation.
Nevertheless, Susanoo couldn’t stop.
no.
-Well, indeed…
it didn’t stop.
-What will happen?
Two hit!
Faster than ever.
Without stopping, he rushed straight at Hercules.
Susanoo was always like this.
Even in situations where he could die, he never avoided fighting and always won.
This time was no different.
He believed so.
but.
“Didn’t I tell you?”
This was because Susanoo had never met Hercules before.
“I won’t miss it this time.”
Before you know it, the club is right in front of you.
I couldn’t even understand what was happening.
Whoops!
Hercules’ club instantly blew off Susanoo’s head and shattered his body. With strong wind pressure, the clouds in the direction where the club was swung were broken and scattered like wool blown by the wind.
Whoa-.
For a moment, a strong wind blew like a typhoon.
Pussss-.
Susanoo’s body turned into black smoke and disappeared.
After dealing with Susanoo, Hercules let out a long breath. Although it was only for a moment, he felt as if the tension was relieved and all the strength was leaving his body.
in between.
Tsutsu tsutsutsu-.
A magical power of an unusual magnitude, different from before, was felt in the direction where Yuwon was standing.
‘After the mountain, there’s another mountain.’
Hercules, who had lost stamina and became as heavy as a thousand pounds, looked back at Yuwon.
Then, in Yuwon’s hand, a black spear was seen emitting enormous magical power.
In Hercules’ eyes, the image of Odin holding Gungnir appeared overlapping Yuwon.
