Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 417
[Level Up with the Gods Episode 417]
* * *
At first, I thought I saw something wrong.
It was the same for everyone, not just Hargan.
He doesn’t deserve to be here, so why is he here?
“why? who?”
Of course, not everyone knew the players in the arena.
Ranking aside, it hasn’t been long since I became a ranker in the first place.
There were some people whose faces they could not recognize, so they asked their companions about the man.
OK.
“Don’t you know?”
They looked at the group who asked the question as if they were pitiful.
For spectators who enjoy the arena, the top rankings were must-know information.
You had to know their rankings and other information to decide where to place your points.
“It’s Kim Yu-won….”
“Is it true?”
“Wow, this is my first time seeing your face.”
“Isn’t that what most people do?”
Spectators stand up from their seats to see Yuwon appear in the stadium.
Despite his reputation, Yuwon’s face was not that well known. This was because, unlike other rankers, the period of activity was short.
Of course it has to be that way.
It was only a few years ago that Yuwon entered the tower.
And Yuwon and Hargan.
“Why are you here?”
He was also a fellow student who entered the tower together.
At one time, the two were considered rivals on the first floor.
But currently, Hargan was not confident that he could win against Yuwon.
“And you?”
Hargan had nothing to say in response to Yuwon’s question, which came back the same way.
There is only one reason to be on the 64th floor at this time.
“…is it harmony?”
“That’s it.”
“No, but why are you suddenly in the arena…”
Hargan scratched his head as he spoke.
but.
The same goes for jumping into the arena yourself. He realized that wasn’t what I was talking about.
“Let’s talk separately later.”
“okay. “Let’s finish the match first.”
chuck-.
Upon Yuwon’s agreement, Hargan clenched his fists and took a stance.
From the beginning, this match was thought of as a kind of debut stage for Hargan before he became a ranker himself.
I thought that if I could survive to the end with overwhelming skills in a match where ranked players participate, there would be no better debut than that.
But as things turned out, the plan had no choice but to change.
‘I’m holding on somehow.’
The opponent was Kim Yu-won.
His friend has already become a high-ranker, reaching a ranking comparable to that of his father Zeus.
A being who has gone too far to show off his pride.
The more he endured against Yuwon, the higher his reputation would become.
“The match begins!”
Boom-!
Qarring-!
At the shout of judgment, Hargan stretched out his fist.
A powerful blow that was prepared before the start. That golden lightning engulfed Yuwon’s body along with the fist.
“A sure win for the athlete!”
The opponent is the 11th highest ranked player.
In order to inflict even a scratch on Yu-won, there was no need to hesitate.
bang-.
Hargan kicks out of his seat.
He gathered two fists full of golden electricity and tightened his grip.
“liver…!”
That moment when Hargan rushes toward Yuwon with all his might.
“It’s pretty good.”
The golden wave slowly began to recede.
In it, Yuwon and Hargan’s eyes met.
And when their eyes met, Hargan had an intuition.
The moment when Yuwon could not be shaken by the first blow.
It’s as if this fight is already over.
Flash!
Light of the same color as the one he had just emitted erupted before Hargan’s eyes.
Kwarung-!
A golden current filled the arena.
Hargan thought as he was swept away by the current.
‘Oh shit…’
Then that’s right.
And that was Hargan’s last thought.
* * *
Consciousness that had become distant gradually returned.
Before my eyes open.
A sighing voice was heard as if someone was approaching.
“Oh my head.”
Those were the first words Hargan heard when he woke up.
Vision returned blurry. In Hargan’s eyes, he saw Yolze looking down at him.
“…all.”
“huh?”
“…I heard everything.”
Although the words were meant to sting, Yolche was confident.
“Good job. “I told you to listen.”
Among the team members, Yolche was the least afraid of Hargan. She said that she had to say what she had to say and harshly criticized Hargan for sometimes being reckless.
At first, there were times when Yolche’s words and actions were off-putting, but as time went by, Hargan got used to Yolche’s way of speaking and became more grateful.
Because she was the only colleague on the team who could control him.
It was the same this time too.
Yolche sat down next to the bed and narrowed his eyes, glaring at Hargan.
“Can you listen to me?”
The criticism is that if I had stopped a long time ago when I was told to stop, I wouldn’t have suffered this embarrassment.
That was true, but Hargan also had something to say.
“Did I know that guy would participate in the competition?”
Even if it was an excuse to avoid nagging, Yolche had nothing else to say at this point.
As the time was right, I thought that one or two high rankers might participate in the match, but I never thought Kim Yu-won would show up.
“What about that guy? “Where have you gone?”
“we are here.”
Rattling-.
Just then Yuwon came in the door.
Holding a fruit basket in his hand.
“I heard you were hospitalized, so I came to check it out.”
“You talk as if I had an accident on the road somewhere.”
“You’re hospitalized because of me, so you should come and see.”
Swish-.
Hargan took the apple thrown by Yuwon and took a bite of it with a dissatisfied face.
“Couldn’t you just take a look?”
“I know what you’re thinking, but do your debut match later. “There will be other opportunities.”
Yuwon saw through the reason why Hargan participated in the match. Then Hargan’s eyes lit up and he asked in a voice full of anticipation.
“Do you think there’s a good spot?”
“There will be. maybe.”
“Seeing as you say ‘probably,’ it seems pretty credible.”
Yuwon never said empty words. He was a more realistic and straightforward person than anyone Hargan knew.
There will be a better stage. If that is not an empty statement, there will certainly be a stage prepared that cannot be compared to the arena of Valhalla.
“good night. “Let’s just move on this time.”
“I see you talking so freshly.”
“I’m sure they didn’t spray you with electricity to kill you, right? I ended up losing my mind. “I wasn’t seriously hurt.”
“I didn’t ask you to die, but I didn’t expect you to be this fine.”
“Why didn’t you just leave me half dead?”
Hargan, who was laughing because he thought Yuwon was joking, looked at Yuwon’s expression without a hint of laughter and asked.
“Are you serious?”
“okay.”
“…Should I criticize this as a friend or should I like it?”
If you think about it, Yuwon wasn’t the type of person to be considered a friend or anything like that.
Of course, he wasn’t the type to kill unnecessarily, but he wasn’t the type to show mercy in his hands to avoid getting hurt as much as possible.
If so, it really means that Yuwon is stronger than he thought.
“If I had known it would be this fine, I wouldn’t have come.”
Yuwon was quite surprised when he visited Hargan, who was hospitalized in a nearby hospital.
Because Hargan looked much healthier than I thought.
Hargan had simply lost consciousness, but it seemed like there would be no problem with him being discharged from the hospital right away.
Yuwon, who thought he had come for no reason, soon sat down as Yolche made way for him.
There wasn’t much to be busy about until reconciliation began anyway.
There was no need to lie in the hospital bed anymore, so Hargan got up from the bed.
Hargan asked, relaxing his slightly stiff body.
“Apart from the harmony site. “Why did you participate in the arena?”
Yuwon was rich. Although the prize money in the arena was quite large, it was not enough for high rankers to covet it.
However, it may not be his purpose to make a name for himself as a ranker and increase his ranking. Even though Valhalla’s arena is quite famous, Yuwon’s ranking is high enough to not change even if it wins hundreds or thousands of times in the arena.
“You’re not the type of person to go out just because you’re bored.”
“Because I had to let you know that I was here.”
“To whom?”
“there is. A guy like that.”
“Be it before or now. “He’s a guy with a lot of secrets.”
Hargan stood up and immediately went through the discharge procedures.
Hargan, who left the hospital with Yuwon, saw a man as big as a giant waiting at the entrance of the hospital.
“They said they were going to leave for a while, but it took a long time.”
A green-eyed man was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
It was Hargan’s older brother, Hercules.
“I suddenly met a friend.”
“friend?”
Hercules turned his head and looked at Hargan.
The moment their eyes met, Hargan hurriedly bowed his head and said hello.
“See you again, brother.”
“It’s Hargan.”
“yes. “This is Hargan.”
“Why are you so nervous? Relax. comfortable.”
“thank you.”
It wasn’t their first time meeting, but Hargan couldn’t stand comfortably in front of Hercules.
Hercules, slayer of giants and hero of Gigantomachia.
He has been like an idol to Hargan for a long time.
No matter how comfortable you try to be, it’s natural to feel nervous.
Hercules looked down at Hargan, who bowed to him, and opened his mouth.
“You came here…”
“Yes! you’re right.”
“is it?”
Hercules nodded that he understood and looked back at Yuwon.
“If you’re done with your business, let’s go.”
“okay.”
“I had a great time meeting you. “I’ll see you again soon anyway.”
“Take a look, brother.”
While bowing their heads in greeting, Yuwon and Hercules slowly walked away.
Just like that, Hargan slowly raised his head.
‘This reconciliation is no joke.’
I looked at the backs of Yuwon and Hercules moving away.
Yuwon’s ranking is 11th.
And the ranking of Hercules, who was right next to him, had risen to 16th after Satan’s death.
The two people who were in his sights right now had a power equivalent to that of a large guild.
Two such people participate in this reconciliation.
It already occurred to me that the scale would be enormous.
“Yolche.”
“huh?”
“The list of reconciliation participants hasn’t been released yet, right?”
“Maybe it will come out today? Still, I thought that most of the major rankers had already made the announcement through articles…”
Yolche also had the same thoughts as Hargan.
“Looking at those two, it doesn’t seem like that is necessarily the case.”
Only the high rankers belonging to the guild had the guild’s position, so they had no choice but to state their position on whether or not to attend Harmony.
However, it was a different story in cases like Yuwon or Hercules that did not care about the guild’s position or did not belong to any group and moved independently.
It seemed that this reconciliation would take place on a much larger scale than expected.
‘But…’
Hargan thought, looking at Yuwon’s back as he walked in step with Hercules.
‘I wonder who you were trying to tell that you came here.’
