Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 359
[Level Up with God Episode 359]
* * *
Yuwon returned to Olympus.
Since I had been wandering around for a long time doing tasks with Hercules, I needed a little rest right now.
There was also an earnest invitation from Olympus.
A banquet hall where beautiful melodies resonate. People were dancing and playing musical instruments, and delicious-looking food was spread out everywhere.
And in between.
“Today’s protagonist! “The rising star of Olympus!”
A man with a red face who was heavily intoxicated.
Dionysus, a high ranker from Olympus, pointed his hand at Yuwon and shouted.
“seaweed! you! one!”
“Waaah-!”
“Kim Yu-won Kim Yu-won!”
“Benefactor of Olympus!”
“Kim Yu…”
Cheers erupted.
Shouts poured out to Yuwon, who was sitting in the middle of the seat.
Yuwon didn’t even flinch. Naturally, the cheers might have subsided, but the atmosphere in the banquet hall showed no signs of cooling down.
“Now cheers!”
Dionysus raised his cup regardless.
It was a drink made by Dionysus for rankers.
“Cheers!”
Jang-.
Drinking glasses were clinking everywhere. Yuwon lowered his head, taking a small sip of the much weaker alcohol.
I couldn’t raise my face because I was embarrassed.
‘Did I come here for no reason?’
Dionysus came to see him and begged him to brighten his place somehow, so he followed him to cool off.
I never thought it would be like this.
It wasn’t coming after all.
“Brother Dionysus is a bit like that. Understand.”
chin-.
A large hand rested on Yuwon’s shoulder.
I could tell who it was without even looking at their face.
“I don’t think you would like Dell like this very much.”
“I like to drink quietly alone.”
Hercules sat down next to Yuwon and stretched out his hand. Hercules picked up a whole barrel of wine that was lying next to the table and began to drink it.
It was a drink that even most rankers would get drunk after drinking a bottle.
Even Dionysus, who made the drink, was extremely drunk, but Hercules was.
bang-.
He looked fine even after emptying almost an entire can of alcohol.
“It tastes good.”
Rather, it tastes like it’s not enough. Yuwon shook his head at the sight of Hercules.
‘After drinking with this guy, I was sick for a few days.’
Hercules was a famous master.
He just wasn’t a good drinker. You might think he drank a lot because he was so big, but he drank more alcohol than most giants.
Even if the magic power in his body did not wash away alcohol, he was probably a born alcoholic.
“Why did you come here? “You wouldn’t have come to play.”
“You have been invited.”
“invite?”
Hercules nodded and pointed to Dionysus, who was playing an instrument.
“To that brother.”
Dionysus was a high ranker known to have sat on the ‘Seat of Wine’ in Olympus.
He led the current Olympus banquet and was known to have the ability to strengthen the players’ strength by blessing alcohol.
A person who loves alcohol more than anyone else and is happy because of alcohol.
Yuwon looked at the rankers and players laughing and chatting in the banquet hall.
‘Sometimes things like this aren’t that bad.’
It wasn’t a very special banquet.
A banquet held every day hosted by Dionysus.
It wasn’t a very enjoyable atmosphere as it was noisy, but I thought it wasn’t such a bad thing.
Then.
Jeopuk-.
As soon as a single step entered the banquet hall, the bustling hall became quiet.
The sound of heavy footsteps surrounded by armor.
Yuwon, who was sipping his drink, turned his gaze to the owner of the footsteps.
‘Has there been a crackdown?’
This was a fun situation.
Yuwon, who was lying half-reclining in a chair, leaned forward.
Dionysus’ expression hardened, and the rankers who had been dancing and singing with him also began to take a step back.
“Who are you…?”
“Are you doing this again?”
Athena.
The seat of war and wisdom and the shield of Olympus.
She approached Dionysus with a cruel look on his face.
“How long are you going to keep playing around like this? Even after going through this…”
The nagging continued for a while.
The rankers who were watching her began to quietly leave their seats.
No matter how much I tried to kill him, I couldn’t leave without Athena knowing. However, she continued to reprimand Dionysus as if she did not care about the others.
“Depending on your actions, the mentality of the rankers below will also change. “Alcohol is the body and mind.”
“The dew of Dionysus. “It is the best-selling steady seller in this tower.”
A voice caught in the middle of nagging.
Athena turned her head and looked in the direction the voice came from.
It was an amusement park sitting next to Hercules.
“I’m telling you not to criticize too much. “Because your younger brother is doing well enough.”
The reason Dionysus was able to become a high-ranker representing Olympus despite always drinking like this was thanks to his business acumen.
The businessman who earns the most points in Olympus.
In fact, it was said that half of Dionysus’s ranking was due to his wealth.
“…I get it.”
Athena turned her head to look at Dionysus for a moment and nodded obediently.
It was an unexpected reaction.
Instead, Athena spoke to Yuwon.
“I came because I heard you were here.”
“I?”
“okay.”
chuck-.
After finishing arming herself, Athena took out the Aegis she was carrying on her back and said.
“I will challenge you.”
* * *
Jeopuk-.
Yuwon walked behind Athena.
Hercules and Dionysus followed behind him. The two showed interest in the big match that was created unexpectedly.
Steps toward the training ground.
Jeopuk-.
“I know he’s doing well.”
When we almost reached our destination, Athena opened her mouth.
“I just did it because I knew I could do better.”
Before Hercules and Hargan appeared, Dionysus was a ranker who climbed to the top at a speed that was one of the fastest in the history of Olympus.
Until then, his followers lined up to say that he would one day ascend to the ranks of the Three Gods.
But one day.
Dionysus, who was interested in alcohol, suddenly began making and selling alcohol.
“Money is absolutely necessary to run a guild. In that respect, Dionysus has done something that is beneficial to the guild.”
“that’s right. “It’s my greed.”
Athena was a warrior who ascended to the throne of war.
Her value lay solely in strength and fighting. And Dionysus was like that too until he became a god ranker.
Because I know those times and because I know the potential of Dionysus.
Athena could not give up Dionysus.
The place the three arrived, following Athena, was a training ground far behind the royal castle.
The gate is probably 4 meters high.
Athena stretched out a hand toward the heavy door.
Kiyi-.
The heavy door opened and the interior of the training hall came into view.
Tsk tsk tsk-!
Thump thump thump-.
Spear and sword clash, shield and shield clash. Numerous warriors fought there, holding weapons and sweating.
He was so focused that he didn’t even notice the door was open.
Athena shouted as she walked between them.
“Stop for a moment!”
A training ground where warriors under Athena train.
They were so elite that it was said that if there were Valkyries in Asgard, there were Athena’s soldiers in Olympus.
And then they stopped their actions and turned towards Athena.
“insect!”
Even though they must have been quite tired, they looked undisturbed.
The military discipline was in full force. It was a look that showed how well trained he was.
Jump and jump -.
Athena and Yuwon headed to the center of the training ground.
Naturally, the soldiers wearing military uniforms split up. Yuwon, who was able to use a fairly large space thanks to this, nodded with satisfaction.
“That’s enough.”
“Thank you for your time. “It must have been an unreasonable request all of a sudden.”
“I see it was sudden.”
Yuwon saw the spirit of victory in Athena’s eyes.
When I think about it, it seemed like the same thing happened when I first met her.
Curiosity and desire to win remained unresolved throughout.
And now, he even has a desire to challenge Yuwon, who has already surpassed him.
She probably thought that she couldn’t miss this opportunity now that Yuwon was staying in Olympus for a while.
“Well, anyway, I have to use my body a little bit.”
Skak-.
Yuwon drew his sword in advance and took a stance.
It’s been two days since I started resting in Olympus.
It wasn’t that long, but I thought it was enough for a break.
‘If you rest more, your body will stiffen.’
To always maintain optimal condition, it is good to take adequate rest, but it is also important to maintain your senses.
When you start to cool down your body that has slowly cooled down.
And again.
‘It’s also work to adapt every time the stats change.’
Newly acquired stats.
Even if there were only a few, considering Yuwon’s magical power level, the number was enormous.
It’s time to not only maintain persimmons but also learn new persimmons.
And for that reason, Athena in front of him was quite a suitable opponent.
“Aegisra….”
The throne of war and wisdom.
It was Yuwon’s first time fighting with her.
‘It is said that its defense power is comparable to or higher than that of the Three Gods.’
Pajik-.
Magical power began to emanate through the tip of the sword.
Golden lightning. Athena’s eyes seemed to widen slightly at the sight of a power similar to that of Zeus.
‘I can attack as much as I want.’
Tsutsu tsutsutsu-.
Blitz is getting bigger and bigger.
I didn’t use Uranus.
Overflowing magical power.
If this were the case, it certainly seemed like it would be possible without Uranus’ help right now.
[Creates a ‘Thunderbolt Sword’.]
Phage Phage-.
A straight sword made according to the shape of a sword.
Athena took out the Aegis without even having time to think about anything else due to the magic emanating from the sword.
thud-.
Aegis was firmly planted on the floor of the training hall. As that wasn’t enough, she prepared defense by infusing magical power into Aigis.
[‘Shield of Aegis’ is activated.]
[‘Guardian of Aegis’ is activated.]
[‘Eye of Medusa’ is activated.]
Giiiiing-.
Several layers of shields made of magical power were piled up above the Aegis. Also, the face of Medusa with snake hair appeared above the shield.
medusa.
A monster that led a city to destruction a long time ago and killed hundreds of rankers by turning them to stone.
Medusa’s power was sealed in the Aegis and left as a skill.
chuck-.
Good defense is attack.
Athena, as the well-known saying goes, began charging toward Yuwon while holding the Aegis.
Kwaang-!
And Yuwon’s sword falls on Athena’s shield.
Kwarung-!
The moment when two forces collided with a sound like lightning.
Knock-.
A crack appeared in the center of the Aegis, known to have the greatest strength.
