Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 399
[Level Up with God Episode 399]
* * *
Thousands of years ago.
The goblin king met a small goblin.
“You are a loner.”
A goblin that was withered and collapsed.
The goblin king found him in the most remote corner of the goblin country.
“I heard the story. “You’re the alley leader here, right?”
At the same time, fire spewed out from the eyes of the young goblin called Doggak.
As the name suggests, the eyes were full of venom. It was amazing how such a venom could come out of that withered body.
“You’re good at fighting, but your body isn’t great.”
The Goblin King was interested in Dokgak.
It felt the same as when I first discovered King Uma a long time ago.
The Goblin King saw some potential in Dokgak. And this feeling has never been wrong.
“Take this.”
Tuk-.
A small mask that falls in front of Dokgak.
“Come to me later with it. “At that time, I will make it again in the right size.”
“…who are you?”
Dokgak asked as he picked up the mask.
One might feel intimidated by the large goblin king, but Dokgak did not feel that way at all.
The Goblin King liked that look and curled up the corners of his mouth.
“He is an impious man who does not even know the king’s face.”
“A king? you?”
“you? Oh my gosh, this guy. “The more I look at it, the more I like it.”
The Goblin King stroked his chin.
As he was looking at the private house, a way to change his scrawny body came to his mind.
“Do you want to become stronger?”
“…okay.”
“No, no, yes. “Follow me.”
“yes.”
“Oh yeah. “I want to become stronger.”
Self-recognition at a young age.
The Goblin King opened his mouth as he looked at the mask he was holding in his hand.
“Your name from now on is Imae.”
A few years later.
Dokgak, who had been fighting through the alleys, suddenly disappeared. The other young goblins who fought with him looked for Dokgak to seek revenge, but he was never found.
It was several hundred years later.
A goblin wearing a familiar mask appeared in front of the goblin king.
“This mae greets you.”
“OK.”
At the time, Imae Tal had barely reached the level of a ranker.
Literally pull-ups. The reason he was able to become a ranker was because of the few spells he learned from the Goblin King and his innate miasma.
But that’s actually why the Goblin King looked highly at him.
“Now I just need to fix my body.”
That very day.
Lee Mae-tal underwent body strengthening procedures.
Imaetal, who made up for his weaknesses, was reborn as the strongest goblin except the king.
That was the moment when the first mask of the goblins was born.
* * *
Boggle Boggle-.
Lee Mae-tal looked into the boiling medicine.
At some point, Yuwon stopped moving. I thought I had lost my mind, but that wasn’t the case.
The proof was that the procedure continued without stopping. It was already the third day.
‘Is he in a trance?’
It was clear that he was half out of his mind.
I can’t believe you’re holding on without giving up on the procedure even in such a state. This was literally a terrible mental strength.
‘Are you really planning on doing all of this?’
At first, I thought my greed was excessive.
I’d be lucky if I could get even half of it. All I can say is that if you can get power from Surtur’s heart, it will be great.
But why?
It’s already been three days. Yuwon wasn’t even moving.
“It’s slowly coming to an end.”
It seems that the Goblin King is also slowly losing strength.
His fingertips were trembling slightly as sweat poured down his forehead. Unlike Imaetal, who rested once in a while, the Goblin King has not rested even for a single moment.
“I don’t think there’s anything left.”
King Uma’s situation was the same.
The two people had the same opinion.
There’s nothing left.
Boggle-.
Lee Mae-tal looked at the stew that was still boiling. The color was still as black as ink.
What on earth is ending?
‘…smell?’
The nerves of this metal were gathered to the tip of the nose.
At some point, the bad smell from the treatment medicine disappeared.
I thought it was simply because I got used to the smell, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Lee Maetal’s gaze turned to the treatment medicine.
And that moment.
Cheeeee-.
Steam began to rise rapidly from the boiling medicine.
The boiling of the treatment medicine until now was merely a phenomenon caused by witchcraft. It wasn’t like the heat was applied and it boiled, but the medication didn’t evaporate.
But things were a little different now.
Burning heat was transmitted through the steam.
The medicine was evaporating.
‘For what?’
Imae Tal had no choice but to stop the spell due to the boiling heat.
The same goes for the Goblin King and the Demon King.
“Fall.”
Jeopuk-.
The Uma King said, taking a step back from the boiling medicine.
“It’s probably going to be very hot.”
“…?”
Imae Tal and the Goblin King also began to back away at the words of King Uma.
As the distance grew a little further, the heat became stronger.
Chichi chiiiii-.
Boiling water vapor rose into the sky and formed thick clouds.
The moonlight was obscured, but ironically, the surroundings became brighter.
Grumble-!
Red and purple flames mixed together and rose upward. The flame evaporated the medicine containing Yuwon in an instant.
There was no foul odor.
When the water vapor met the ground, I could only smell a slight earthy smell.
Jeopuk-.
Someone walked out of the hazy steam.
It was obvious who it was.
‘Is it Kim Yoo-won?’
There was no one in there except Yuwon.
Nevertheless, Lee Maetal questioned that obvious answer for a moment.
‘Really… is it Kim Yoo-won?’
So far, it’s just a blurry shape visible through water vapor.
Nevertheless, Lee Mae-tal did not think that the person beyond the vapor was Yoo Won.
It seemed as if countless beings were visible through him.
In Taetal Lee’s eyes, Yuwon was nothing more than a small monster with one and many powers.
Eventually, Yuwon slowly walked out of the steam.
Suuuu-.
Lee Maetal found Yuwon’s eyes unfocused.
‘Does he have a mind?’
but.
He must have been in excruciating pain for three days. If you were sane, that would be even stranger.
What’s even more surprising is that it’s moving like this now.
“It’s okay…”
“Don’t approach.”
King Uma blocked Imaetal’s path as he took a step toward Yuwon.
There was something unusual about the atmosphere. Yuwon could have just walked out, but he radiated heat and evaporated all the medicine.
It meant that he couldn’t control his power.
“You might end up bleeding for no reason.”
Jeopuk-.
Immediately after Uma King stopped Imae Tal, the Goblin King began to move.
It was out of curiosity.
I wonder how much stronger Yoo Won has become after completing a procedure of this magnitude.
And is the person in front of them now the Yuwon they knew until a few days ago?
“Success seems to be success, but-.”
The Goblin King stroked his chin.
“well. “I’m not sure yet.”
The distance between them is about ten steps.
Even that was ten steps for Yuwon, but only three steps for the Goblin King.
“I almost lost my mind…”
Buung-.
Body rising upward.
“…?”
A doubt appeared on the Goblin King’s face. What on earth happened in this short period of time?
The body of the Goblin King, which had been turned upside down, fell to the ground.
Quaaaaang-!
Ujikkeun-! Kugugugugu-.
The Goblin King fell to the ground and the ground cracked.
A wide pit. The goblin king who fell into the center suddenly found his arm being held by Yuwon.
Wow-.
Yuwon’s hand held the goblin king tightly.
He was a goblin king who was confident that he would not be defeated by anyone except the Demon King. No matter how weak I was from using magic for a few days, I wondered how long it had been since I had been possessed by someone like this.
‘What kind of power does this guy have…’
Apparently, the procedure was quite successful.
Of course that’s it.
Ppajik-.
Tendons sprouted from the Goblin King’s forehead.
After not being able to eat or sleep for a few days, I helped him and all I got in return was a dump.
I couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
“You Ino…”
That moment.
Slurp-.
The grip strength suddenly loosens.
Slurp-.
Yuwon lost consciousness and fell to the ground. The Goblin King, who was lying on the floor after being knocked down by the sudden situation, looked confused.
“What is this?”
A sudden attack followed by fainting.
The goblin king, who was confused, looked around.
The ground collapsed and cracked. The tiled house collapsed due to the impact.
The Goblin King muttered at the chaos that suddenly broke out.
“…I guess I’ll have to pay a high price for it.”
* * *
It had been quite a while since my mind began to fade.
It probably started when he started fighting Surtur’s heart.
I was half in a trance. Still, one good thing was that compared to Surtur’s heart, which said it was better to get hit first, the other characteristics that appeared later were not that painful.
‘When did you faint?’
That was the first thought I had when I came to my senses.
Today, my eyelids felt several times heavier than usual. The strength I felt in my body felt like I could lift a female baton, but my eyelids were too heavy.
But what can I do? I’ve slept enough, so I have to get up.
So, Yuwon slowly opens his eyes.
“Are you awake?”
Sure enough, King Uma was waiting for Yuwon.
Instead of answering, Yuwon rolled his eyes and looked around the room he was lying in along with the ceiling.
It was an old house. Where on earth did the magnificent Goblin King’s tile-roofed house go?
Apparently, he had received permission from the Goblin King and was staying at his residence.
King Uma, who read the question in Yuwon’s eyes, spoke.
“I couldn’t help it. “Because you destroyed the house.”
“…Do you mean me?”
I couldn’t remember.
He can’t believe he destroyed the goblin king’s house. When exactly?
I had a terrible headache. It seemed like my body wasn’t completely healed.
“My body is completely healed. The problem is the mind. “I must have had a lot of headaches because I was trying to hold on to my spirit that was about to break.”
widely-.
A car with steam rising from it.
Yuwon accepted the teacup handed to him by King Uma.
“Drink. “If you smell the scent, you’ll feel better.”
“Thank you.”
I’m not sure of the name, but the smell of the tea definitely seemed to calm me down a bit.
I drank my tea and tried to think, but as expected, I couldn’t remember anything.
I couldn’t help it.
If you don’t remember, the only thing you can do is ask.
“What happened?”
“Your strength has grown a lot.”
“yes?”
“I guess I really don’t remember anything.”
Looking at King Uma’s reaction, it seemed like it wasn’t a joke. Well, he wasn’t Son Goku and I didn’t think he would mess around with something like this.
Yuwon waited for him to tell her what happened first. Judging from the fact that the house was destroyed, it seemed like work had been done.
I’ll tell you soon. With that in mind, Yuwon was quietly drinking tea again.
“How do you feel?”
Sigh-.
King Uma stretched out his hand toward Yuwon.
“Would you like to arm wrestle with me?”
