Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 342

[Level Up with God Episode 342]

* * *

Radon.

It was a dragon with a hundred heads, a monster equivalent to the leader of the dragon clan.

Although he was cursed by Uranus and was reduced to guarding the golden apple for his entire life, he possessed a power that even Hercules could not overcome.

however.

Radon, who should have been the final boss of these twelve tasks, was dead.

“Is that radon?”

Hercules opened his mouth after a long time, as if he had gathered his thoughts.

He too had heard about the dragon guarding the golden apple tree.

no.

The story about radon was a legend so famous that there was no one in Olympus who didn’t know about it.

Naturally, Hercules was also preparing to fight Radon.

“It seem to be like that.”

“It looks like someone has already been there.”

Hidden dungeons are called ‘hidden’ because they are literally hidden.

Moreover, it was not an ordinary forest, but a dungeon where the Hesperides guarded the golden apple tree along with Radon.

But the golden apple disappeared.

“Is this the end?…”

“It won’t be the end.”

No sooner had Yuwon finished speaking.

thud-.

The ground in the garden rumbled, and I could feel the sound of people passing through the invisible bushes.

“It can’t just end up getting in the way of the task.”

“There’s something more.”

“The guy who made this place like this.”

He was the guy who stole the golden apple and killed Radon.

He’s probably not an ordinary guy.

Although it was not immediately visible, Hercules had a vague sense of its identity.

And it was the same for Yuwon.

[The ‘Giant Flower’ discovers the enemy.]

[The giant, whose name I have forgotten, exposes his teeth to the Giant Flower.]

There was no need to use the Fire Eyes Geumjeong to see it.

With just this message, Yuwon was able to find out the identity of the guy who drew the Garden of the Hesperides and made Radon like this.

‘Is it him?’

I knew he was around here, though.

I never thought I would encounter it like this.

‘If possible, I wanted to bring him into my team.’

thud-.

The sound of heavy footsteps.

Yuwon turned his head at the gesture filled with magical power.

The owner of this earth shaking was Hercules.

“There’s no need to even go looking for it.”

Hwaaaa-.

Magical power emanated from Hercules’ body.

Showing off his power as a giant, Hercules provoked the giant hiding in the bushes.

“Because it’s obvious who his target is.”

“…Oh, this is a bit weird.”

Stop it!

Yuwon immediately prepared his spear.

Black electricity erupted from the ring and wrapped around my hand. The lightning consumed a huge amount of magical energy and changed into the form of a spear.

Thump thump thump-.

The footsteps got closer and closer.

So before long.

Ujikkeun-!

A giant that quickly appeared, tearing down dense trees.

Yuwon threw the spear at the giant without hesitation.

Flash!

Tuhwaak-!

The thunderbolt, which consumed a huge amount of magical energy, hit the giant’s body. It was so powerful that if it were an ordinary giant, it would have penetrated the body and disappeared without a trace.

but.

Ji-Ik-.

The giant that appeared after destroying the bushes was only pushed back a little.

Hercules stroked his chin as he saw the giant crossing his arms to block the spear.

As for the power of that thunderbolt, Hercules knew for sure as he had been struck several times.

“Hmm-.”

indeed.

He was an unusual guy from the moment he appeared. Yuwon and Hercules looked at the giant who uncrossed his arms and revealed his face.

For a giant of about 4 meters, he is not that big.

Dark brown hair and empty, unfocused eyes.

And the golden juice on the corners of my mouth.

‘The giant who held up the sky.’

I will know for sure when I see it with my own eyes.

‘Atlas.’

His punishment began long before Gigantomaki began.

Before the fight between the giants and Olympus began.

When Atlas, who was half human and half giant blood, ended up siding with the giants, Zeus imprisoned him around the garden and made him suffer one punishment for the rest of his life.

He was carrying a huge mountain weighing hundreds of millions of tons, and the moment he let go, his compatriots were crushed by the mountain and all died.

Of course, even Atlas himself, who is carrying that mountain.

Crrrrr-.

Atlas bared his teeth and cried.

It looks like one’s reason is half gone.

He seemed quite angry about being struck by lightning.

thud-.

As the guy took a step forward, Hercules also started walking towards him.

Yuwon stopped Hercules’ movement for the first time since the task began.

“know? “This is not a normal task.”

Hercules stopped for a moment.

“You’re still not saying you’re going to do it alone, are you?”

Radon is dead.

For some reason, a giant who shouldn’t be here was waiting for them, and the whereabouts of the golden apples were difficult to find right now.

The task that had come down to Olympus as a legend had already been twisted.

This was a trap to catch Hercules.

“That guy is the same as me.”

Thump thump thump thump-.

Atlas walks with great strides.

“So that guy is my opponent.”

Hercules was the greatest strength in this tower.

However, the Atlas walking towards us was also quite formidable.

bang-!

Hercules and Atlas.

The two jumped out of their seats at the same time and jumped towards each other.

Guuuung-!

The earth shook as the two giants collided.

A clash of pure power, not magic.

The force generated by the collision flipped the ground and created a gust of wind.

Goong gooung-!

Whoops!

Hercules’ club struck Atlas in the abdomen, and Atlas’ foot kicked Hercules.

The two swung their fists and clubs at each other as if they knew no defense.

It was literally a dog fight.

‘Physical ability equivalent to Hercules holding the club of Yggdrasil. Moreover, it is overcoming the natural enemy of giant fire.’

In terms of mere physical ability, there were few people who could compete with Hercules in this tower.

Probably a few in the top 5 of the rankings.

There will be no one below that, let alone someone you can find as an opponent.

Even the great Odin admitted that his physical strength alone was insufficient for Hercules.

‘How on earth is that guy here…’

“I heard it from Prometheus before starting the task. “They said go to the end of the world.”

Prometheus.

The moment that name came to mind, Yuwon remembered the relationship between him and Atlas.

‘A mixed race of humans and giants. sibling.’

Atlas’ brother Prometheus told Hercules the location of the garden where the golden apple tree was located.

Maybe that’s where things started to go wrong.

The question is ‘how’ he is here.

‘Unless other giants help…’

After thinking about that, a picture appeared in Yuwon’s mind.

2nd Gigantomachia.

A compatriot who will save Atlas from punishment by Zeus.

‘Isn’t it over?’

I thought it was too shabby.

It was Zeus who caused Gigantomachia.

But it was Hercules who took the lead in that war.

I thought that if I brought down Zeus, Olympus would stop fighting, and everything would end.

It was a complacent thought.

‘Even if it stopped on this side, it didn’t stop on that side.’

If one side stopped, the collision would only be delayed, but it would eventually occur.

Zeus was dragged down, but the giants’ anger did not stop.

Even within the giant race, like Hera and Hades, there might have been conflicting positions: those who wanted to stop the war and those who should see it to an end.

“I’m going to be amazed.”

Yuwon realized in which direction this fight would end due to the existence of Atlas.

Giants.

And the recurrence of Gigantomachia, which had stopped for a while.

That was the picture that foolish chaos ultimately hoped for through Hera’s movements.

When your thoughts go crazy.

bang-!

Chi-ik-.

Hercules, who had been hit by Atlas, flew in front of Yuwon and quickly placed his hands on the floor to balance himself.

It looks like it’s being pushed somewhere.

Hercules took his stance and tried to rush straight to Atlas.

“Hercules.”

Hercules turned his head at Yuwon’s call.

Because we were in the middle of a fight, I couldn’t talk for long.

“We must fight together.”

“Not yet….”

“It’s Gigantomachia.”

Hercules’ eyes widened.

Gigantomachia.

It was a word that remained anathema to Hercules.

“This is not a problem that will end in a civil war in Olympus. If you do it wrong….”

Kwajik-!

Hercules was trampled under the feet of Atlas.

“The Gigantomachia that stopped will begin again.”

Cluck cluck cluck-.

Hercules’ arms swelled.

Hercules continued the conversation while supporting Atlas’ huge feet with both hands.

“Is that true?”

“okay.”

“…shit.”

Puzzle-.

My teeth ground and my eyes suddenly changed.

“Hey, this bastard….”

Cough cluck-.

The arm supporting my foot gained strength.

The magic power spreading throughout Hercules’ body erupted with explosive force.

Sigh-.

I grabbed Atlas’ legs with both hands and lifted him up.

Atlas lost his balance.

Hercules threw Atlas with all his might, grabbing the leather on the soles of Atlas’ feet.

Buuuuung-.

Quadduk quaddddd-.

bang-!

The huge body of Atlas flew over and turned the garden of the Hesperides upside down.

And seeing Hercules like that, Yuwon stuck out his tongue for a moment.

‘I might not have lasted thirty minutes.’

What would it have been like if Hercules had entered the fight against himself with this kind of momentum from the beginning?

Thirty minutes?

I don’t know if I can survive it. Suddenly, I lost confidence.

Giantification.

The power to become the natural enemy of all giants.

Hercules no longer had time to be ashamed of his power.

And that’s right.

Sigh-.

It meant that I would no longer be reckless about this or that.

Yuwon picked up a spear from his inventory.

Nir.

Yuwon’s strongest shot.

As of now, this was the only attack that could effectively hit Atlas.

“How to stop it? “It must be there, right?”

“Now that I know.”

“So it exists.”

“for now.”

It wasn’t a very reliable answer.

But Hercules was relieved.

That said, there was a way anyway.

And so far, there is nothing Yuwon hasn’t been able to accomplish.

“So now first….”

Wasak-.

“Starting with that guy…”

Yuwon and Hercules’ eyes turned to Atlas.

The sound of chewing fruit.

It was such a small sound that you couldn’t hear it unless you listened closely, but it came so clearly.

Whisper, rustle -.

thud-.

Atlas’ eyes shined in the billowing smoke as he chewed the fruit that was sweeter than anything else.

Even though he was thrown by Hercules, instead of getting hurt, he radiated more energy than before.

‘As expected, that’s what that guy ate.’

It was a somewhat familiar feeling.

Yuwon raised his head and looked up at the sky.

The sky turned purple.

There was only one time this sky appeared.

Only when the Outer uses its power.

That means now.

‘Golden apples of the Hesperides. As they call them in heaven-.’

This meant that the fruit Atlas was eating came from outside of this tower.

‘The tree of knowledge of good and evil in Eden.’
