Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 468
[Level Up with God Episode 468]
* * *
It was as if I closed my eyes for a moment and then opened them.
There was no need to worry.
When I came to my senses, I noticed that my world had changed.
Pusss-.
The flames around are going out.
The fire in Tulcha disappeared. It meant that the owner of the name had changed.
‘Has it been moved to me?’
Grumbling-.
Seonghwa, who had vehemently rejected him just moments ago, followed him like it was the first time.
no.
In fact, it is much more gentle than before. In the past, it existed in the form of a skill, but now it felt like a part of my body, like a limb.
I couldn’t remember anything, but I knew what was happening.
“Again?”
This wasn’t the first time something like this had happened.
It was like this even during the time of Shub Niguras.
After that, I searched for this for the past year.
Thanks to this, I was able to get some clues about what happened at the time.
Strong-.
just as expected.
This time too, the pain in my head got worse.
It was a reaction that occurred every time I tried to remember, so it didn’t hurt that much anymore.
“Fortunately, the name is all over the world.”
Words that were uttered from one’s own mouth in the same voice.
But it wasn’t him who said those words.
“…Is it a gain or a loss?”
If you look at the pros and cons that unfolded before your eyes, there were more pros than losses. However, as with all beings outside the tower, there was always danger in doing things that were inexplicable.
That’s what’s happening to me and the maple tree right now.
Strong-.
“You were my dancer and my toy.”
“And yet you had the audacity to covet my name.”
The area above my eyes was crumpled from the pain in my head. Fortunately, each time, the memories came back little by little.
I can’t believe I can understand Son Goku’s mind this way.
Now I feel like I know a little bit about what it must have been like to live with a long orphaned child.
‘If this continues, I really might not be able to come back.’
It was a worry I had several times while delving into my memories of the autumn leaves after the fight with Shub Niguras.
I feel like I just blinked for a moment, but guess what?
Will I be able to come back if something like this happens again?
The worry didn’t last long.
Yuwon spread his palm and raised a torch on it.
Grumbling-.
‘Since when did you think about this?’
I was prepared for this from the beginning.
From the first time I reached out to the maple that hatched from an egg during the fight with Shub Niguras.
“Okay.”
That’s how Yuwon responded to the guy who said it was dangerous.
It wasn’t just a lie told to reassure the little guy that he could borrow his strength for a moment.
Those words were sincere at that time.
It was still the same now.
And okay didn’t mean safe.
It meant that even if it was dangerous, it was okay.
‘I can’t even remember properly. ‘I don’t even know how to use my strength properly yet.’
This should not be included in the calculation.
A variable is called a variable because we do not know what will happen in certain cases. If you take this into account, you are likely to end up in trouble.
but.
Grumble-!
[The ‘Dancer Dancing with Flame’ rules over the ‘Flame of Death and Decay.’]
There was no reason not to utilize the name she had already earned.
Qarring-!
Flash!
As the flames cleared, the sound of lightning was heard.
The sky sparkled golden several times. I thought this guy who didn’t even show his face was really loud.
“…I said the name was all over the place.”
Even though it wasn’t his own words, it was still something he said out of the same mouth.
This is something that cannot be taken lightly.
Kwarung-!
Lightning strikes again.
If things continue like this, all those names will be lost.
Even though most of them are nothing more than rags who have torn one name into pieces and divided it up.
‘I can’t sit still like this and have it taken away.’
Just like that.
It was a time when Yuwon came out and tried to participate in the battlefield.
…one-!
From somewhere, I heard a faint voice calling me.
A deep, rough, familiar voice.
As I listened closely, I could clearly hear a muttering asking, “Where is this son of a bitch?”
‘mister?’
Why did he, who was clearly making a knife inside, come all the way here?
“Hey! Kim Yoo-won, you bastard!”
Hephaestus opened his voice wide and shouted.
Several tentacles approached him, aiming for the knife in his hand, but to no avail. This was thanks to the thunderbolt falling from the sky as if it were sniping at the outer targeting Hephaestus.
Kwareung boom!
In a battlefield where lightning falls like that.
“What are you doing here now?”
Jeopuk-.
Yuwon appeared in front of Hephaestus.
Hephaestus looks happy.
Still, as if he still felt anxious, he let out a sigh that he had been holding inside and asked.
“Where did you go?”
“I didn’t go anywhere.”
“I called for tens of minutes, but there was no answer.”
“How many ten minutes?”
It’s been that long?
‘It seems like you’ve been unconscious for quite some time.’
Perhaps because I had no memory of losing consciousness, I had forgotten the passage of time. Naturally, Yuwon never thought that it would take this long for Hephaestus to find him.
‘Then how could he be here….’
Kwareung-!
The sound of thunder rings my ears once again.
As Zeus showed off his presence, Yuwon was able to realize the reason why Hephaestus was safe.
‘Is it thanks to that guy?’
Still, a bloodline is a bloodline?
It was Zeus who saved Hephaestus in front of him.
It seemed like they felt bad about letting him die right in front of them.
“I know what you’re thinking, but it’s a useless thought. “What my father is trying to save is not me, but you.”
“what do you mean?”
“I have already served my purpose in Olympus. To my father, I am now just a child abandoned long ago. In his eyes, I am just one of many star-like rankers.”
“Then why…”
“What my father protected was not me, but this.”
Sigh-.
Hephaestus held out the sword he was holding in his hand.
A rough knife without any of the usual decorations, as if it hadn’t been finished yet.
This is what Zeus was trying to protect.
“Why this?”
“It seems like you decided it would be useful. “It’s probably because they’re targeting this.”
At the word ‘those’, Yuwon’s eyes turned to the huge eyes that came down from the sky.
Starting with Tulcha, now even that guy has appeared.
The game got bigger than I thought.
“Blacksmiths are used until a war breaks out, and warriors are used when a war begins. “Now is the time when you need me more than you need me.”
Sigh-.
Yuwon accepted the sword handed to him by Hephaestus.
The feeling of holding it in my hand was familiar. The size, shape, weight, and balance did not change at all from before.
It must have been made by mixing two items.
‘How is this possible?’
When I held the new sword in my hands, I felt a special emotion. The temporarily used Kusanagi was also a useful item, but he was also familiar with Hephaestus’ weapon.
“It’s okay.”
“Maybe you’ll like it more when you use it.”
Confident response.
His expression looked more confident than when he made the black night sword.
Hephaestus, with an expression like that, has never disappointed me.
“I will write this gratefully. And….”
Sseuuu-.
Susanoo rose from the shadow of the amusement park.
chuck-.
Yuwon continued speaking while handing the Kusanagi to Susanoo.
“Stay with this guy until it’s safe.”
-Are you saying that I am protecting people rather than killing them?
Susanoo naturally expressed his dissatisfaction. He had only killed someone, but he had never watched anyone.
“For a moment, think of him as Tsukuyomi.”
-Tsukuyomi…?
Just for a little while.
Tsukuyomi’s face appeared in Susanoo’s mind as he looked at Hephaestus’ rough face.
And right after that, the two people appear overlapping each other.
Susanoo looked at the face of Hephaestus, who had long, flowing silver hair, with an expression that made him feel like he was going to vomit at any moment.
-You mean this ugly guy?
“I don’t think it’s too harsh to say that to your face.”
Hephaestus was not handsome, no matter how well he was portrayed. No, he was closer to being an ugly man, which was rare among Zeus’ bloodlines.
It makes you wonder if he really shares the same blood as Apollo, who is famous for being handsome. To Hephaestus, Susanoo’s words were no different from piercing a painful area.
-Shut up. Because I want to cut it down at any moment.
Where did I get so angry?
Susanoo, struggling for his life, glared at Hephaestus. Apparently, Yuwon’s words ‘Tsukuyomi’ served as a catalyst.
Either that or not.
Yuwon comforted Hephaestus, ignoring Susanoo’s reaction.
“No matter what I say, I will keep my word.”
“If you tell me to, I have to follow it.”
Not a very happy reaction.
but.
No matter how capable a person is, probably no one wants an escort who exudes life towards them.
The same goes for Hephaestus.
Nevertheless, this had no choice but to happen because Yuwon had to jump to his feet and move immediately.
“I’m sorry, but you understand now. “Then I will go now.”
“I know it’s urgent, but let me ask one more question.”
Yuwon, who was about to take his feet and move, looked back at Hephaestus.
If you stop even though you know it’s urgent, it probably isn’t something you normally do.
When Yuwon turned his head, Hephaestus hesitated for a moment and asked.
“That knife you brought… did I make it by any chance?”
No matter how much you think about it, it’s a ridiculous question.
Maybe that’s why Hephaestus’ voice trembled a little. However, there was a hint of confidence in his eyes as he asked that question.
Yuwon was conflicted for a moment.
How should I answer?
It could have been quite a long story. Because it was not a question that could be answered simply yes or no.
Gugugugugu-.
It was a time when I was so worried.
The color of the sky, which had been sparkling golden, gradually changed to red, and the pupils floating above it slowly began to open.
It seemed like it was slowly starting.
“I guess I’ll have to give you the answer later.”
“Later un-.”
Hephaestus’ next words were not heard.
It was because Yuwon had flown too far to hear those words.
Pot- Pot-.
Yuwon jumped upward, stepping on the tentacles wriggling in the sky, and looked at the huge eye floating above.
It was the size of a castle and had a red pupil in the center of it. The eyes that slowly opened were half-open and looked down at the world.
Was it a mistake?
Yuwon felt as if those eyes were looking down at him.
And that moment.
[The ‘King of the Dead’ is on alert for the emergence of a new king.]
The title inside Yuwon trembled and sounded an alarm at the ‘eye’ that appeared in front of him.
But contrary to that warning.
“It seems like a pretty useful name.”
On the contrary, Yoo Won tightly grasped the new knife in his hand as if he was happy.
One name passes through my mind.
In order to win this fight, I had to first blind him.
