Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 398
[Level Up with God Episode 398]

Boggle Boggle-.
The treatment medicine that Yuwon had added became more and more intense.
Lee Mae-tal frowned at the terrible smell that seemed to be a combination of all the odors in the world. Then, I suddenly looked at the Demon King and the Goblin King who were continuously injecting the treatment medicine into Yuwon’s body.
‘It’s been about a day.’
One day after the procedure started.
It certainly wasn’t that long.
However, while the procedure was in progress, Lee Mae-tal felt his mental strength and magical power slowly disappearing.
“If you’re tired, take a break.”
These were the words of King Uma, who noticed Imaetal’s condition.
Imatal, who was about to say it was okay, nodded. Here, he realized that if he was too stubborn, he would only end up getting in the way.
dump-.
Lee Maetal collapsed on the spot and began to calmly catch his breath.
After saying a few words to rest, King Uma began to focus on the procedure again. The goblin king yawned as if he was bored.
‘That’s amazing.’
It was definitely not an ordinary task.
All of the things dissolved in the boiling soup were ingredients obtained from monsters or divine beasts that even high rankers found difficult to catch.
Forcibly melting the power of such materials was a huge point, but it also required outside help.
There was no way to know what side effects might occur if the medication was mixed incorrectly or if another procedure was started while the procedure was in progress.
‘Of course….’
Bogle-.
Lee Mae-tal’s gaze turned to Yu-won, who was in the boiling medicine.
‘The same goes for that guy who is enduring this procedure.’
Lee Maetal had already undergone a similar procedure a long time ago.
The shaman who helped Lee Maetal at the time was the Goblin King. However, at that time, body strengthening procedures were not as large as they are now.
It was only Yuwon’s ability to obtain this amount of material, and as a result, the burden of the procedure was several times greater than what Lee Maetal had to endure.
‘I hope I can bear it.’
If the person undergoing the procedure lost consciousness, the procedure was no longer meaningful.
No matter how much power the outside shamans used, if the practitioner could not accept it, it was the end.
‘Hang in there.’

[Absorbs the characteristics of the ‘Ancient Knight King’.]
[Strength increases by 1.]
[Stamina increases by 1.]
Just when I was starting to feel mentally exhausted, I heard a message.
Still, I was glad there was a reward. If it weren’t for something like this, I might have given up a long time ago.
‘I’m really dying.’
Boggle-.
There was no problem with breathing.
The reason I was having trouble breathing right now was because of the effects of the treatment medication flowing into my body.
The properties of all the ingredients mixed in the medicine were thrust into the body. Even though I gained a lot of stats, my mental strength and physical strength were slowly showing signs of decline.
If I hadn’t gained stamina as a stat once in a while like now, my body would have been unable to withstand it and I would have lost my mind.
‘Is this the 20th time?’
So how many more will there be left?
I didn’t count the numbers so I had no idea. Yuwon started counting the ingredients he had gathered in his head.
But at that moment.
[‘Heart of Surtur’ seeps into the body.]
[Penalty applies. ‘Body Enhancement Treatment’ will be discontinued.]
[You can proceed with ‘Body Enhancement Treatment’ using points.]
[Would you like to use points?]
[51248900 points are required.]
Hwaaaak-.
I felt pain as if my flesh and muscles were burning. Yuwon’s eyes widened.
‘Is it coming?’
It was the most important material when planning body strengthening procedures.
The Heart of Surtur.
I had to focus unconditionally. If I failed to do this, it would be like wasting half of the procedure.
[51248900 points are consumed.]
[‘Body Enhancement Treatment’ begins again.]
50 million points disappeared in an instant.
However, Surtur’s heart was an item worth the price.
Even just in the tutorial, Yuwon gained a lot of stats through Surtra’s heart.
‘This is an enlarged version of that.’
Surtra is one of Surtur’s many children. He was just one of the ‘Sons of Muspell’.
But Surt was different.
If Surtra is one of the many branches of a huge tree, then Surtra is both the trunk and the roots.
This guy’s heart had a power that was on a different level from the giant’s heart that Yuwon took in the tutorial.
Cheeeee-.
“…!”
Pain as if the whole body was on fire.
Hwareuk-.
Yuwon’s eyes turned red.
[‘Hwaan Geumjeong’ resists ‘the peak of giants and the devil’s flame’.] [ ‘Seonghwa’ resists ‘the peak of giants and the devil’s flame’.]
[‘Hwaan Geumjeong’ resists ‘the peak of giants and the devil’s flame.’
I failed to resist the ‘flame of the giant and the devil’ that had reached its peak.]
[‘Seonghwa’…]
I tried to resist the pain of my body burning, but it was impossible to resist completely.
The medicine containing Surt’s heart seeped into Yuwon’s body under the guidance of magic.
It was Yuwon’s job to endure and accept that flame.
The pain I had barely gotten used to got worse again. Yuwon twisted his body in pain as if his body was burning.
We will definitely overcome this.
Anyway.

The purple sky.
Robyn walked, stepping on the black leaves that had fallen to the ground.
Rustling-.
Trees and land. Everything is a black forest.
Robyn muttered while looking at the forest he had visited for the first time in a long time.
“I feel bad whenever I come here.”
A foolish chaos walked towards the forest, stepping on dead leaves.
The closer I got to the black forest, the more I felt as if it was pulling me. The moment half-hearted beings set foot in this forest, they were likely to be eaten by the forest.
Meeeeeee-.
Right to them.
Dreaming-.
A small mountain goat blinking in the black bushes.
It looked like it was still a cub, but it was drooling at itself.
It was just laughable.
“Come here.”
Foolish chaos beckoned towards the mountain goat.
Rustling-.
A mountain goat came through the bushes towards the foolish chaos.
A small goat with a height of about waist height. It came closer to foolish Chaos and suddenly opened its huge mouth.
Cheok-.
And that moment.
“It’s fleeting.”
Saaaa-.
The baby goat’s body turned into black ash and scattered.
There was no sound. The wind blowing away the scattered ashes was the last sight of the mountain goat.
“Go to a good place.”
Meeeeeee-.
Me-.
The surrounding mountain goats howled.
At the appearance of the ‘enemy’ who killed their babies, dozens and hundreds of red eyes appeared everywhere.
And looking around at those mountain goats.
“There are a lot of guys who are going to good places.”
Foolish Chaos began to walk without hesitation.
To kill all the mountain goats in sight.
But then.
-Ma-ah-.
A different type of crying was heard in the distance.
Creepy creep-.
A fear that makes your body tremble. The goats’ heads turned in the direction from which the cries were heard.
The foolish chaos also stopped acting.
I thought that enough was enough.
“You should have done this a long time ago.”
Jeopuk-.
The foolish Chaos turned around and walked towards the direction from which the crying was heard.
The cry sounded once and then disappeared. The mountain goats that had been blocking the foolish chaos hid themselves in the bushes again, their eyes shining.
After going through the black forest like that.
Flash-.
One purple eye was met with foolish confusion.
-Are you here?
A goat with a thousand babies that lives in the Black Forest.
As befits his nickname, he was lying in the deepest part of the black forest with mountain goats around him.
A look of foolish confusion was reflected in the purple eyes.
Sigh-.
Foolish Chaos bowed in greeting.
The Shub Nigguras in front of him was one of the few beings of a higher rank than him.
“Long time no see.”
-Did you know that I would come out if I did this?
“I thought that would be the case since you are a person who cares deeply for your children.”
-You’re good at speaking out loud. Even though I know it’s not true.
“I’m a bit polite.”
Shub Niguras did not respond to nonsense.
Instead, he slowly stood up and began to look down at the foolish chaos.
And near the nape of Shub Nigguras’ neck.
“I heard the story.”
It looked like it had been bitten by something.
“It looks like the wound isn’t healing well.”
-It takes quite a while. Strangely enough.
A wound that should have healed within a day if Shub Nigguras had the regenerative power. However, even now, a considerable amount of time had passed since the injury, Shub Nigurath’s wounds were still not completely healed.
-You knew, right?
Shub Niguras’ eyes radiated light.
The face of the goat raised its head with a frightening force and came towards foolish chaos.
-Is this your plan too?
“I needed confirmation.”
-They used me as the sacrifice.
“So I came to say I’m sorry.”
Foolish Chaos folded his hands and lowered his head.
He had no hesitation in offering forgiveness. It was shameful that he made a mistake on purpose, but Shub Niguras did not want to fight with foolish chaos in this situation.
-but. If it is true that ‘he’ is alive, then the one who is most tired will be you.
“Thank you for your understanding.”
The head of foolish chaos bowed deeper.
He was prepared to have at least one of his arms ripped off when he came here. I was very fortunate that it got to this point.
-Just go out there. If it’s any longer, I might end up throwing your arms and legs as food for the chicks here.
“All right.”
How many times do you say hello?
Foolish Chaos left the Black Forest after leaving a final farewell to Shub Niguras. On the way out, baby goats followed Stupid Chaos, but he didn’t care.
If you bothered with them for no reason, you would only inflame Shub Nigurath’s anger, which had already calmed down.
After leaving the sword forest like that.
“Shub Nigguras has been hit…”
My mind was filled with foolish confusion.
“It was true.”
In my mind of foolish confusion, the image of a small child appeared.
A small child the size of a palm, smiling with an innocent face.
On the surface, there wasn’t much to worry about.
But above him, the foolish chaos seemed to be a presence that he knew.
This is someone who should never appear in front of you.
So I wanted to check.
His own abilities were not enough. Because his alter ego could not have penetrated Zeus or Kim Yu-won at the time and reached him.
So foolishly Chaos decided to use Shub Niguras.
‘Thanks to you, I lost a lot…
but…
I raised my head and looked at the purple sky.
‘I confirmed what I needed to confirm.’
Shub Nigurath’s neck was bitten off. There was no way in the tower that could cause such damage to Shub Nigguras.
That means one thing.
“Our father, foolish and blind. Confused and foolish.”
Outer God.
Among them, the original owner used the name ‘Foolish Chaos’.
“It looks like we are in a bad relationship.”
Stupid chaos closed its eyes.
Now I had to prepare to go in front of him again.
