Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 337

[Level Up with the Gods Episode 337]

* * *

The moment when the club was swung towards Susanoo.

Hercules was thinking that Yuwon’s spear would fly.

That was the pattern so far. There was no reason not to do so.

Just standing Susanoo in front gave him enough time, so it was natural to throw a spear during that time.

But when I wondered why it was so quiet, there was a reason.

‘It becomes noticeably amplified over time.’

Although I was in a javelin stance so that I could throw the spear at any time, I knew it instinctively.

It is dangerous to give time.

It was like that until now.

That spear is the only blow that Yuwon can inflict that fatal wound on his body.

bang-!

Hercules kicked off his seat with all his might and flew in.

At that moment, the two people felt as if all the time in the world had been cut in half and was passing slowly.

Yuwon no longer hesitated.

Although it was only half-started, I had to be satisfied with this level.

Chijiji-.

The magical power that had been amplifying for a while was amplified in an instant.

Two hit!

In the end, the spear was shot out of Yuwon’s hand.

Kagagagak-.

Hercules hurriedly stepped on the ground, stopped his flying body, and grabbed the club with both hands.

The tip of the spear shooting towards me was reflected in my eyes. Take a stance to swing the club towards it with all your might.

[The power of a giant resides in your arms.]

The power of a giant resides in your arms. My muscles shook as if they were about to explode.

It was different from before.

That window could be dangerous if it wasn’t blocked.

Buuuuung-.

The club made from the branches of Yggdrasil was swung with all its might.

And soon.

Whoa!

The flying spears and clubs collided, creating a turbulent wave.

Less rattling-.

The spear did not fly away right away.

Chang held on strongly, as if he could not be defeated in strength either.

but.

Floating-!

After wrestling for a while, Hercules finally managed to throw Nir in the opposite direction.

Woe!

Soon, the large figure of Hercules appeared before Yuwon’s eyes.

however.

“finished.”

Buuung-.

Hercules’ club could not reach Yuwon.

“Thirty minutes.”

Kwaaang-!

A club passed by.

The club felt closer to being dropped rather than being swung.

Yuwon did not dodge or block the club.

Instead, he held a player kit in his hand.

[12:00:17]

17 seconds have passed since the 30 minutes bet.

I thought it was almost time.

Just when I thought I had it all figured out, time ran out.

“I-.”

Yuwon spoke while rubbing his chest.

“I won.”

* * *

Ji-Ik-.

Hercules tore the bandage he had in his inventory and wrapped it around his body.

Medicine was applied to the bandage to stop the bleeding. The wound suffered by Kusanagi delayed recovery and left the scar clearly for quite some time.

On the other hand, although there were no visible wounds, Yuwon had used up almost all of his magical power.

Thanks to this, both of them were recovering while sitting facing each other.

‘There are no fatal wounds.’

Yuwon examined Hercules’ wounds.

‘The reason I was sweating was probably because of the poison…’

Even Susanoo, who uses Kusanagi, only received such shallow wounds.

It was a truly incredibly solid body.

The damage from the lightning wasn’t that big.

The skin was only slightly tanned, but it wasn’t anything serious.

“Did you even set the time?”

Hercules, still wearing bandages, opened his mouth.

Yuwon shook his head.

“no.”

“then?”

“It was faster than expected. “Quite a lot, too.”

Even thinking about it again gave me a chill, so Yuwon shook his head.

“I thought I could last ten minutes longer.”

Forty minutes.

I thought I could fight that much if I squeezed my magic to the limit.

If you use Heavenly Demon Spirit and Giant Form and split positions with Susanoo and fight together.

I thought I would be able to take enough time to deal with Hercules, who was poisoned by Hydra’s poison.

But it was unexpected.

No matter how much I got the club of Yggdrasil, I never thought Hercules would be this strong.

‘If I hadn’t been poisoned, I could have lasted ten minutes.’

It occurred to me that perhaps the person who contributed the most to this fight was not myself or Susanoo, but Hydra.

A monster comparable to Yamata no Orochi.

It was a possible victory because I had just finished a fight with that guy.

The bleeding from the wound stopped quickly.

Hercules calmly held out his hand.

“What about the horns?”

“It’s in the inventory.”

“Give it.”

Yuwon obeyed the request and took out the horn and handed it to Hercules.

It was a different reaction than before.

Hercules, holding the golden horn in his hand, put it back into his inventory.

“I was caught without a move.”

“Is Mount Erymanthus next?”

“I think you know the 12 tasks pretty well. “Seeing as how I memorized the order.”

“I did some studying.”

“You are allowed to accompany me, but please do not touch the task.”

Yuwon’s request will be followed indefinitely.

But Hercules had absolutely no intention of accepting help with the task.

“That is the condition.”

“I get it.”

Yuwon also had no intention of being more stubborn here.

Since he lost the bet, he did not think that Hercules would not keep his promise.

But there was good in him too.

If the terms of the bet had been ‘performing the task together’ rather than ‘companionship’, Hercules would not have accepted the bet in the first place.

Because he would never make a promise that he wouldn’t keep.

but.

“Still, I’m asking just in case.”

There was something I needed to point out.

“You don’t think Hera will just stay like this, do you?”

“no way. Even my brain is not surrounded by muscles.”

That was correct.

The fact that even the brain was made of muscle was closer to Son Goku than to Hercules.

Contrary to its appearance, Hercules was quite fast and had a quick head turn. The only problem was that my honest sense of justice sometimes narrowed my perspective.

“He’s probably still trying something.”

“But why?”

“Nevertheless, it is also clear that you will not break your promise to me.”

Hercules spoke with sparkling blue eyes.

“Otherwise I’ll twist her neck first.”

The words were unusually violent and creepy, unlike his usual words.

This also meant that Hercules had made a lot of preparations for this bet.

And of course Hera would know this fact.

It was a bet with Hercules and no one else. If she did not keep it, she would be turning Hercules into an enemy.

Something that should never happen.

But Yuwon felt uneasy about this task for some reason.

“Do you think the task will go smoothly?”

“what are you talking about?”

“Why do you think they’ll only use tactics over there?”

It was Hercules and no one else.

He wasn’t someone anyone should worry about.

In other ways, he was no different from Son Goku, who possessed the power of immortality.

An absolute body that no sword or skill can penetrate.

While poisoned by Hydra’s poison, he received the sword of Susanoo, the top swordsman, with his bare body.

I have no choice but to believe it.

Nevertheless, Yuwon chose to be with Hercules rather than with Hera.

There were two reasons.

The first was because of a request from Hargan.

Please find Hercules and ensure his safety.

However, Yuwon did not come to Hercules just because of that request.

‘If I had to choose between Olympus and Hercules…’

There was no need to think long.

‘Of course it’s the latter.’

I feel sorry for Olympus, but it was an unavoidable choice.

No matter how large a guild Olympus was, Yuwon, who knew the value of Hercules better than anyone else, had no choice but to make this choice.

Because the value of Hercules alone was much higher than that of all the rankers of Olympus combined except for Zeus.

From now on, your role is to handle variables if they arise in your task.

‘Are you praying that nothing bad happens over there?’

All I could do was hope for the safety of Olympus.

Yuwon thought to himself for a moment.

please.

I hope that this current incident is a minor incident caused by Hera’s greed.

* * *

Many players were gathered in the royal castle of Olympus.

Thousands of players. Up to 100 rankers.

Many people gathered together and discussed one topic.

It was a story about Hera, a high ranker who was the core of Olympus.

“If Hera does not withdraw in the end, we will have no choice but to respond strongly.”

“you’re right. “No matter what anyone says, the enemy of Olympus is Hades.”

“Raise the army of hell.”

“You don’t even have to go there. At our Dionysus altar….”

Just words embellished with all kinds of flattery and sweet words.

This was the second time that the king of Olympus changed in thousands of years of history.

When the king changes, the structure of power completely changes. This was especially inevitable if a ranker like Hades, who was not interested in politics, became king.

Because you can only stand at the center of power if you are in his eyes even a little more.

And everyone here saw the conflict with Hera as that opportunity.

‘It’s meaningless time.’

Even though many are better than one, Hades believed in the power of collective intelligence.

I think that if this many people come together and put their heads together, they might come up with at least one amazing idea.

But why?

The people gathered like that were all busy flattering, and not a single one of them came up with a proper idea.

“Disband.”

“So, at our Demeter altar… yes?”

“Okay, I told everyone to disperse.”

A congratulatory message was spoken in a calm voice.

The rankers and players in Daejeon, who had been hesitant, left their seats in a rush.

Hades sat alone in his seat, buried his butt deep into the throne, and raised his head toward the ceiling.

I felt exhausted.

‘After all, this position isn’t right for me.’

Poseidon and Zeus headed to the 100th floor.

To break through the ceiling and head higher.

But Hades couldn’t do that.

By then Hera had begun to move, and Hades was unable to vacate the otherwise uneasy Olympus.

But as expected, he was not suited to this position.

no.

To be precise, it wasn’t right to be involved with so many people.

I hated this complicated and difficult situation, so I locked myself in a place where it was difficult to even find a human being. He found the monsters of hell, became their friends, and eventually became their king.

But somehow, two of the three gods disappeared and Hades became the king of Olympus.

A place that doesn’t suit you.

“I’d rather just pass it on.”

To Hera.

It was a time when I was mumbling like that.

“That’s right.”

Jeopuk-.

Hades straightened his head and looked straight ahead.

A long carpet stretched from the door to where the throne was.

A robin was slowly walking towards the center.

‘Since when…’

I confirmed that all the rankers in Daejeon were leaving. Besides, just a moment ago, I didn’t feel like I was popular at all.

I had an unusual feeling.

Hades opened his mouth towards the robin who came closer.

“What are you?”

“This is my first introduction.”

In response to Hades’ question, the robin bowed politely.

“I came at the behest of Hera. It is said to be foolish chaos.”
