Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 360
[Level Up with God Episode 360]
“…!”
Athena hesitated at the gold that appeared in the Aegis.
A moment of hesitation.
But soon, she began to put more force on the hand holding the Aegis, as if she was satisfied.
Kwazizi Kwajik-!
She did not back down in the face of the lightning sword striking Aigis.
So so so so-.
Aegis’s gold gradually increased.
It seemed like the shield would break at any moment and electricity would leak inside.
but.
Chiik-.
Regardless, she took out the sword from her waist.
A short sword suitable for use with a shield.
Athena aimed the tip of her sword as she looked at the slowly cracking cracks of the Aegis.
‘The strongest weapon I have is not this item.’
Aigis is only an item that represents oneself.
Athena gritted her teeth and strengthened her hand on the sword.
Knock-.
Tu-duk to-duk-doo-.
The cracked fragments of the Aegis fall down.
‘now.’
It was the moment when Athena was about to insert her sword through the gap.
“I thought the same thing.”
“…!”
The tip of the sword enters the gap in the Aigis one step ahead.
Shuak-.
[‘The Shield of the Aegis’ is broken.]
[‘The Guardian God of the Aegis’ is destroyed.]
[‘The Eyes of Medusa’ are destroyed.]
The skills expressed through the Aegis are broken and lose their power. Athena’s fingertips trembled as the tip of the sword stopped before her eyes.
“The counterattack was too hasty. “If you think about attack, your defense will inevitably collapse.”
Sigh-.
Yuwon put away his sword and turned around.
Athena’s thoughts deepened at those words.
‘If only we had strengthened our defenses a little more.’
Athena is the shield of Olympus.
When she only went on defense rather than attack, she was confident that she could last an hour even against Hades or Poseidon.
No matter how strong Yuwon is, this is not a fight that will end so easily.
‘As expected, I had the same thought….’
Athena said just now.
I remembered what Yuwon said.
‘So you were planning on breaking through the Aegis from the beginning?’
Athena checked the area of the broken Aegis.
The broken marks were so clean that it seemed clean. The cracks and shattered fragments are only a small part in the very center.
From the beginning, Yuwon was thinking of breaking the Aegis and sticking his sword into it.
Knowing what choice you will make from the beginning.
“What are you so mesmerized about?”
Stop it!
Athena, who was replaying the previous situation for a moment in her mind, found Yuwon taking his stance again beyond the Aegis.
“I still have a long way to go before I feel better.”
Nice words to hear.
Athena’s eyes shined again.
* * *
Kwarung-!
Yuwon’s fist stretched forward.
Athena’s body swayed as she held the Aegis tightly in her hand. Fragments of the broken Aegis fell to the ground and eventually broke his leg.
Pajikpaji-.
Yuwon, who extended his fist over Aegis, paused for a moment.
Shaky posture.
“I think that’s it for now.”
At Yuwon’s words, Athena gritted her teeth and raised her sword upward.
“All forces ready for attack.”
Chuck Chuck-.
At Athena’s words, the rankers spread out around the edge of the training ground took a stance.
It was Yuwon’s request.
“If the shield is down, send those guys in.”
At first Athena refused those words.
It was because he didn’t want more people to get involved in his fight.
but.
As the fight with Yuwon ended again in a short period of time, she had no choice but to change her mind.
“It’s nothing bad, right?”
Yuwon, who had brought Athena to her knees again, looked back at the rankers who were showing their winning spirit toward him.
“Because it might be an opportunity to teach you how to fight against a top high ranker.”
Athena had no choice but to admit it.
That he couldn’t be Yuwon’s opponent with his own capabilities alone.
also.
Yuwon’s skills are much better than he expected.
“attack!”
Stop it!
Electricity erupted from Yuwon’s hand again.
Yuwon freely wielded lightning without the help of Uranus. Numerous rankers are swept away by waves of lightning, and Athena’s sword stabs through them.
The fight continued into the second round.
When the floor of the training hall began to shake precariously, another customer entered.
Kiyi-.
“Wow, this is really crazy. “It’s a mess.”
Paget-.
Hargan was startled by the lightning that hit the entrance to the training ground and took a step back.
The inside of the training hall was in complete chaos.
Tung-!
Hwiik, popping.
A ranker wearing armor rolled around at Hargan’s feet. Hargan shook his head as he stepped over the fallen ranker with his eyes turning white.
“What a mess this has been all day…”
“Are you here?”
“Oh brother!”
Hargan, who found Hercules in the midst of the commotion, hurriedly bowed and greeted him.
“Are you there?”
“The greeting is excessive. There’s no need to go anywhere and bow down like that. “It’s the same for me.”
“All right!”
Hargan was particularly overly polite to Hercules compared to other people.
Hercules has long been the idol of Hargan. Hargan’s long-time goal is to become like Hercules.
It was natural to be nervous as I faced such an idol right in front of me.
“But what is it?”
“I have something to tell that guy.”
“To that guy?”
He was a Yuwon who was in the midst of fighting with Athena and other rankers.
It seemed like he had been fighting for hours, regaining stamina, and fighting again.
“I was wondering what you were doing earlier to stop me from contacting you, and that’s what you were doing.”
“Is it urgent?”
“I don’t know, but I think so.”
“What are you saying?”
“We have a guest from Asgard.”
“Asgard?”
Hercules turned his head.
Yuwon was making a lightning bolt in his hand. The rankers split to the left and right, moving to avoid the force, and Athena stepped forward holding the Aegis.
Just as the lightning was about to fly.
“stop-!”
Hercules’ shout rang across the training ground.
Chi-ji-chi-.
The thunderbolt created in my hand shook dangerously. Athena’s hand, which was tightly holding the shield, lost strength, and all eyes in the hall focused on Hercules.
Yuwon looked at Hercules as if asking what he was doing. It was at that time that I discovered Hargan had arrived.
Hercules responded to that gaze.
“A guest has arrived.”
“customer?”
“Let’s go first. “It seems important.”
thud-.
Hercules turns and heads out the door that Hargan had left wide open.
Yuwon, who was tilting his head as if wondering what was going on, began to follow behind Hargan and Hercules.
“Thank you for your effort!”
“Thank you for your effort!”
The rankers who were fighting Yuwon in the training hall bowed and fell to their seats one by one.
None of them had any stamina left.
And the same goes for Athena, who is the only one standing.
Knock-.
The cracks in the Aegis gradually spread. It was the moment when Athena laid down the shield that seemed to never be broken on the ground.
Jang-!
Patter patter patter-.
The Aegis, created by the hand of Hephaestus and various materials including adamantium and mithril Medusa’s head, shattered and fell to the floor.
Even though her beloved item was broken, Athena did not look sad or disintegrated.
Rather, she had the most relieved expression in a while.
“But he didn’t die to anyone.”
Athena muttered as she looked at the broken handle of the Aegis.
“Ares.”
* * *
“Thor?”
Yuwon asked back as if he was puzzled by Hargan’s explanation.
They said a guest came from Asgard and it was none other than Thor.
He inherited Odin’s power the most and was the undisputed second-in-command of Asgard.
“Why that guy?”
I’ve seen that face a few times.
It was when they moved to capture Poseidon in the destruction of Olympus and when Ragnarok occurred.
However, Yuwon had no close relationship with Thor.
“well. “I don’t know that.”
Hargan shrugged his shoulders and hurried his steps toward the castle.
Regardless of his double-digit ranking, Thor was the prince of Asgard who would one day lead Asgard.
The relationship with him was also very important to Olympus. In any case, the rankers of Olympus, including Hargan, had no choice but to serve Thor with utmost respect.
of course.
It was a story that didn’t really apply to Yuwon.
Jeopuk-.
Yuwon followed behind Hargan at a slow pace, adjusting his clothes that had become loose from the fight with Athena.
The reason why Thor came looking for him.
It was to think about it in advance.
‘Do you have something else to ask me? Like Olympus? ‘Are you saying it’s such a big problem that Odin can’t solve it?’
I couldn’t think of anything in particular that would do that.
Ragnarok is over. Asgard, whose battle with Muspelheim has ended, probably has no opponent that can be considered a worthy opponent.
Also, there was Odin in Asgard.
The best martial artist in this tower.
He was superior to anyone else in both fighting and magic.
Asgard, where Odin resides, is reaching out to someone? It was something I didn’t quite understand.
Above all, Odin’s personality was not the type to easily open up his hands and ask for favors from someone.
‘More than anything, how do you know I’m here?’
It wasn’t a big secret, but there weren’t many people who knew that Yuwon was in Olympus.
It was especially unexpected for Asgard to find out that Yuwon was here at this time.
It was a strange visit to say the least.
“It’s here.”
The place we arrived at following Hargan was a small outbuilding on one side of the royal castle’s garden.
A separate building located in the middle of a garden decorated with beautiful flowers.
Hargan and Hercules stopped nearby.
“I said I wanted to meet you alone.”
“Then I guess I’ll end up here too.”
Kuuk-.
Hercules grabbed the club on his belt with his hand.
Yuwon, who glanced at Hercules’ actions for a moment, began to walk.
Ki-.
The door, which had not been maintained for quite some time and had been neglected, had an old sound.
A small outbuilding about 10 pyeong (approximately 10 pyeong). It seemed to be a place used by servants who managed the royal castle a long time ago.
A room with only a small bed and a nightstand.
Inside, Thor was standing with his back turned, waiting for Yuwon.
“Are you trying to avoid people’s eyes? “You picked a strange place.”
Rustling-.
As I stepped into the room, the old floor gave way slightly.
Thor didn’t turn around right away.
thud-.
The amusement park closed immediately.
At the same time, I felt a thin layer of magic spreading around the outbuilding. It seemed like they were trying to prevent sound from leaking outside.
Yuwon didn’t get any closer, but looked at his back and opened his mouth.
“You’re not Thor.”
Yuwon knew Thor well.
Except when he was fighting with Mjolnir, he was such a clean guy that I thought he might have myelitis.
It looks different from a dirty beard.
Jeopuk-.
With words full of confidence, Yuwon began to walk towards Thor.
And then.
The customer who was waiting for Yuwon turned around.
“Are you Mimir?”
