Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 434
[Level Up with God Episode 434]
* * *
Meeeeee-.
Me-.
The rankers lost their minds due to the bleating of a thousand mountain goats.
Odin fell at the hands of Shub Niguras. At the same time, his morale, which had risen, fell even lower than it had been at first.
And among those rankers.
“Tsk-.”
Diablo clicked his tongue and shook his head as if he was pathetic.
I stopped swinging my fist for a moment and stood.
I listened to the screams of the battlefield.
“Aaaah!”
“Your shoulder-!”
“Fall, fall….”
“Aaaah-!”
The fight between the morale-depleted rankers and the goats was one-sided.
no.
No one calls something like this a ‘fight’.
This was ‘hunting’.
“This isn’t fun.”
I didn’t like it.
The fight I was so looking forward to ended up being so one-sided.
Ppajik-.
Tendons sprouted from Diablo’s forehead.
Daeva rankers were seen running away in fear from the mountain goats.
The Valkyries were fighting to the death, but even before they collided, they seemed to be scared and shaking their shoulders.
It was pathetic.
What I can’t stand more than anything else.
Wow!
The same was true for demons.
“Oops!”
A demon ranker fell to his seat after being hit by Diablo’s arm. A little while ago, I was running away from the mountain goats to survive.
“Are you that afraid of dying?”
“Di di dia… Mr. Blo….”
“Are you afraid?”
“Oh no!”
In response to Diablo’s question, the demon shook his head and closed his eyes tightly.
Even if I thought about it, I knew it didn’t make sense. What does it mean to say you are not afraid of death and run away without fighting?
It was like running into a tiger while avoiding a fox.
‘My name ends here….’
“Yes. “It’s natural to be afraid.”
The demon carefully opened its tightly closed eyes.
“yes?”
Diablo did not reach out for himself.
Instead, his gaze was directed to Shub Niggurath, who was riding on the goat’s back.
“Because if I die, I won’t be able to fight anymore.”
I’m scared because I can’t fight anymore.
Even though the demon knew what he was saying, he couldn’t understand it all.
No matter how crazy their species was about fighting, it wasn’t enough to overcome the fear of death.
But now Diablo is like.
“That’s why I’m scared too.”
It seemed like he had overcome that fear.
Although he thought his head would be crushed at any moment, Diablo turned and took long strides toward the herd of mountain goats.
And above Diablo’s head.
Ji-I-Ik-.
I could see the horns sticking out of the head getting longer.
‘No way…’
The demon’s eyes opened wide.
But for a moment I thought it might not be possible.
I also thought that maybe it was only natural.
There’s no way Diablo wouldn’t reveal his true identity in a situation like this.
Meeeeeee-!
A mountain goat bared its teeth at Diablo, who was approaching its mother.
Cheok-.
The mouth opens to an unusual size. The mountain goat opened its mouth wide as if trying to swallow Diablo in one go, and rushed at him.
And that moment.
Buuung-.
Cheok-!
The red tail that flew from behind Diablo struck the mountain goat’s body and sent it flying.
Whoa!
The mountain goat that flew away collided with another mountain goat and fell to the ground. Leaving behind the mountain goat that was reeling from shock, Diablo raised his scaly forearm.
Before I knew it, my body was twice as big as when I first started.
“Don’t hide among the kids, come on over here.”
Ttduk-.
Diablo waved his long red tail and his eyes turned red.
“You damn goat.”
bang-!
Diablo’s tail hit the ground.
The broken ground rose high, expressing Diablo’s anger. He ignored the mountain goats and walked toward Shub Niguras.
And in line with Diablo’s actions, Shub Nigguras also bitten the mountain goats surrounding him.
“The reactions of those who are terrified are mostly similar. “You either choke yourself out of fear or you run away.”
Jeopuk-.
Shub Niguras made an interesting expression as he approached Diablo.
“But your reaction is neither of those things. “Even though you know you’re going to die now…”
Diablo smiles.
“I’m enjoying it.”
Before we knew it, Diablo had completely transformed into the form of a devil. A devil with his entire body covered in red scales and eight roots sprouting from his head appeared before my eyes.
Diablo.
The strongest devil and lord of the demon world.
He revealed his true self.
Gugugugugu-.
-right.
Diablo, revealing his true body, raised his head.
Red mixed with the purple of the sky. The magical energy emitted from Diablo’s body covered the world.
Blah blah blah-.
The ground I was standing on cracked, and heat like lava came out of it.
Mouth opening slowly.
-fun. I’m having so much fun that I think I’m going crazy.
Diablo was not eaten by fear.
Rather, I was enjoying this moment, not knowing when I might die.
Thousands of years ago.
Baal, who came to visit Diablo, who had become the king of demons, asked.
“That won’t be fun.”
It was a statement that cut both the front and the back.
However, Diablo, who was yawning boredly while sitting on his throne, responded as if he knew everything.
“that’s right. Not funny.”
“You must have seen a lot of blood on the way up there. “Is it still not enough?”
Diablo shed a lot of blood until he became the king of demons.
More than half of the demon kings had to cut off their heads and rip out their hearts to get to this point. Diablo single-handedly overpowered the group and stopped the bloody purge.
“The word ‘lack’ is not correct.”
“what are you talking about?”
“My thirst is endless. “No matter how much I pour into it, it won’t be filled, so I just don’t think about filling it anymore.”
Those were scary words.
It’s a thirst that can’t be quenched in the first place, so you don’t try to quench it any more.
“Are you planning on holding on?”
“It can’t be helped. “Because I can’t kill all my own people with my own hands.”
“It must be difficult.”
“Still, I have something to look forward to.”
“What are you looking forward to?”
Diablo nodded.
At the next words, Diablo looked more happy than ever.
“Someday, someone stronger than me will appear. “Maybe that fight is unavoidable.”
Just thinking about it made my hands sweaty.
His voice grew louder with excitement, and the seat he was leaning against shook.
“The only way to satisfy this thirst is if I die. “It took me too long to realize this.”
Diablo said that and closed his eyes.
If things continued like this, I thought I would kill Baal in front of me again like I did now.
“So, I plan to endure it just for the sake of the fun at the time.”
Diablo has endured this for thousands of years.
And now.
He faced someone who would satisfy the thirst he had been holding back for so long.
Grumbling!
Flames enveloped Shub Niguras’ body.
Red flames obscuring vision. The mountain goats howled in the heat hotter than lava.
Shub Niguras faced the bright flame. Because the flames covered everything, nothing else could be seen.
Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The image of Diablo emerged from among the flames.
-I have been waiting for this day.
Sigh-.
A hand came out from the flames and grabbed Shub Nigurath’s neck.
-The day I die.
Sssssssssssssssssssss-.
Diablo’s figure approached Shub Nigguras.
Shub Niguras opened his mouth as his face approached.
“There are a lot of interesting people in this world.”
Sigh-.
While holding on to Diablo’s arm, which was grabbing the nape of his neck.
“It’s a reward for the long wait.”
Ji-I-Ik-.
Shub Nigguras also began to reveal his true appearance little by little by pulling out the horns on his head.
“I will make you my sheep so I can fight forever.”
* * *
Grumble!
Flames soared.
The ground where Diablo was had already melted away. The surroundings turned into a sea of fire and the sky was covered in red.
It was Diablo’s power revealed.
“Stay away from the flame! Hurry!”
Hwaaaaa!
A strong wind blew away the flames that were spreading in all directions. Diablo’s flame did not block enemies, and Michael blocked it so that it did not spread to his allies.
Demons and angels moved busily under Michael’s command.
And beyond that chaos.
“What is this….”
“Suddenly the battlefield became Muspelheim.”
“If it’s this much of a flame…”
Hope bloomed again in the hearts of the rankers, wondering if Diablo’s flame would spark it.
Look at this flame.
It was no less a spark for Surtur, the king of Muspelheim and Odin’s rival. I wondered how many living things would survive even if they were caught in such flames.
It didn’t matter even if it wasn’t killing him.
There were still many rankers and high rankers left here.
No matter how monstrous the enemy may be, if you can leave a fatal wound, you can win the fight.
Diablo’s true form, which had never been revealed even in the Battle of the Heavenly Demons, seemed to have no problem opposing Shub Nigguras.
but.
-…That stupid guy.
Susanoo, who was fighting on the front lines with him, felt that Diablo’s actions were foolish.
-Don’t you know that if you die like this, it’s a dog’s death?
Diablo’s existence was a refreshing shock to Susanoo.
He too was someone who went to the battlefield on his own and was obsessed with fighting to kill and kill.
However, Diablo longed for a higher value than Susanoo.
Susanoo felt Diablo’s desire for the fight he had been enduring all this while in his original form.
A fight for your life. Susanoo had already been through that fight, and as a result he faced death as he did now.
However, the fight with Yamata no Orochi and the being in front of me now were on a different level from the beginning.
More than anything else.
If Diablo was defeated in vain with this one move, the morale of the allies would sink to the ground and they might never be able to win.
‘I can’t help it.’
The worries didn’t last long.
I had to move before that flame went out.
I don’t know if Diablo is alone, but if he joins.
Chiik-.
That was the moment when Susanoo took a step forward.
Kwaung-!
A golden thunderbolt rising from the ground to the sky.
Susanoo turned his head to the wall of electricity blocking his nose.
I almost got caught in a lightning strike and got roasted whole. There was only one ranker in this tower who could handle golden lightning of this level of power.
“Don’t do anything useless.”
I felt like I knew who the owner of the voice was without having to look at it.
Susanoo turned his head.
Before he could identify the owner of the lightning, the surroundings were in turmoil.
“It’s my Zeus!”
“Zeus has arrived!”
A high ranker with an appearance that shines particularly brightly even among these numerous rankers.
He is mentioned as the king who commands this tower along with Odin.
“…The battlefield is a mess.”
The heavenly god Zeus.
He arrived at the battlefield with Hercules.
