Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 513
[Level Up with God Episode 513]
* * *
In a dark room.
In the royal castle of Asgard, where the sky had turned purple, a man with a face full of wrinkles was sleeping.
A wise man who spent most of his life sleeping, but instead gained greater wisdom than anyone else.
Mimir.
Having lost both eyes that contained his abilities, he was not only deprived of his qualifications as a high ranker, but was also demoted to the bottom of the rankers.
There are two reasons.
First, Mimir’s power, having lost two eyes, is much weaker than before.
Second, it is impossible to know whether the sleep due to the curse of knowledge will last a thousand years or ten thousand years.
but.
Dalssak-.
It was different from my expectation that I could sleep forever.
Mimir’s lips moved slowly.
“…It’s that day.”
My eyes didn’t open.
No, there was no need to float.
If you open your eyelids anyway, you won’t see anything.
Vision as dark as pitch black.
Mimir stood up, accepting that there was no more light in his world.
Kugugu-.
I felt the castle of Asgard shaking.
I couldn’t see it with my eyes, but that didn’t mean all five senses were numb.
Mimir slowly headed to the window and stumbled to listen to the sound.
“help me!”
“Kulan! “Damn it!”
“Support here too…”
“Busy here too… Argh!”
Screaming and blood splattering. And the sound of something bursting or being torn apart.
The scent of the battlefield wafted all the way to this far away place. And there was also a familiar cry mixed in there.
“Asgard!”
“For Asgard!”
“…Odin.”
The shouts of Odin, who leads Asgard, linger in my ears.
From where the voice came from, I could even feel Gungnir starting up. It meant that the situation was not so easy as to care about Gungnir.
This was the first time I woke up without him.
Odin was always by his bed when he woke up.
Reading a book.
Or, he dozed off while sitting and lightly greeted him, asking if he had woken up.
It was unfortunate, but also fortunate at the same time.
“I can’t see you anymore.”
It happened after a year.
It was a record.
Did I ever think I would come to my senses this quickly?
It had to be that way.
Because only he knew in this world that this would be the last time.
‘Not in this world.’
A smile appeared on Mimir’s lips.
There were no regrets.
I’ve lived too much in the moment to have something like that.
Probably from the moment I first met Yuwon.
This is the only way to win.
‘We’ cannot win alone.
I had no choice but to accept that fact, and then this was the only way.
Passu-.
Mimir’s body slowly began to disintegrate.
Mimir muttered as he felt his fingertips disappearing into dust.
“It doesn’t hurt as much as I thought.”
Is it because I have been drawing this moment for a long time?
It was terribly painful to be turned into dust, but the determination I had made over a long period of time helped me overcome even that pain.
lost both eyes
Now all that’s left is the body.
If even this is thrown away, what awaits us afterwards will probably be complete extinction.
nevertheless.
“Anyway, I’m glad. Because it was successful.”
Mimir spoke with relief rather than regret or fear.
It was unclear whether this would actually end this fight with victory.
But at least this makes the odds of winning a little higher.
That alone felt enough for Mimir to sacrifice himself.
“Odin… this is my friend….”
Towards a distant, invisible battlefield.
“Don’t be too angry.”
Mimir spat out his last words.
Susss-.
* * *
The battlefield commander was usually in the rear.
The death of a commander directly leads to the defeat of the war. Therefore, commanders take maximum safety and lead the battlefield to victory.
But this fight could not be won that way.
That’s why Odin stepped forward.
As a warrior of Asgard.
And as a king commanding the battlefield.
“Asgard-!”
“For Asgard-!”
Asgard’s rankers, including Valkyrie, responded to Odin’s cry.
But that’s it. Morale gradually declined.
I couldn’t help it.
Each and every one of the outerwear in front of me was difficult to handle unless I was a high ranker.
‘There are some things that cannot be helped by skills or the power of myth alone.’
Odin’s myth of ‘King of Asgard’ raises the strength and morale of his allies.
At the same time, it compensates for some of their damage. Although there was a small penalty, it was truly a deceptive force in such a large battlefield.
But that alone wasn’t enough.
Now, a visible change in the battlefield was needed.
then.
Kugugugugu-.
Gungnir, held in Odin’s hand, started up.
How many times was this?
‘Is this the fourth time?’
Gungnir requires an enormous amount of magical power to start up once. Therefore, even Odin tended to refrain from starting Gungnir more than twice if possible.
But four times.
This was a new record.
Flash!
Gungnir left Odin’s hand and divided the battlefield.
Wow!
A sound that harshly pierces the air.
Pieces of the outerwear, torn apart and lifeless by the white light, fell to the ground.
In an instant, attention was focused, and the rankers’ eyes widened once again.
“Gunggnir….”
“How many shots is this?”
“Is it your foot?”
Four shots have already been fired.
Every time Gungnir was activated, the battlefield changed. The strike, which pierced everything in its path over an enormous area, showed off its overwhelming power.
Kugugu-.
Traces of Gungnir piercing through and flying away were left intact on the battlefield.
A round circle was created between the outerwear that was flocking in with the purple wave, and a pure white line was drawn where the window passed.
For a moment, the atmosphere of the battlefield changed.
Each shot of Gungnir had enough power.
but.
Jureuk-.
“Great…”
Odin hurriedly wiped away the blood flowing from his nose and regained control of his dizzy, shaking body.
[The ‘King of Asgard’ commands the battlefield.]
[Replaces some of the damage suffered by allies.]
Jiying-.
A shock passed through my mind. Both mental and physical damage were inflicted.
No matter how many layers of magic I tried to protect my body, it was not enough.
‘Not now.’
I barely managed to straighten my rag-like body.
You will definitely fall one day.
But it shouldn’t be now. If possible, it had to be even a second late.
King Odin.
Because he was nothing short of the spiritual pillar of this tower.
“Odin… this friend….”
That was then.
Odin was barely able to stop the bleeding from his nose and gather himself when he heard a familiar voice.
“…Mimir?”
Odin turned his head with a voice saying, “No way.”
Asgardian castle.
His old friend sleeping alone there.
The guy has already woken up.
It certainly seems like it would be insufficient to welcome it with open arms.
“What are you trying to do?”
Odin could not shake off the strong anxiety that sprouted in this moment.
Mimir’s curse was not ordinary.
Curse of Wisdom. It was an irresistible power obtained by drinking water from the spring of Yggdrasil, which can be said to be the foundation of Asgard.
Moreover, Mimir has now lost his two eyes, which were the source of his power.
Nevertheless, to suddenly wake up like this…
“Don’t be too angry.”
-It meant that another variable had arisen.
Susss-.
Odin, whose five senses were tense, could see Mimir disappearing in the distance.
My whole body stiffened and I couldn’t run.
When we found Mimir, most of his existence had already disappeared.
“Hehe…”
Odin laughed helplessly.
Mimir has disappeared.
It was no laughing matter.
Nevertheless, the reason I smiled on purpose was because of Mimir’s last words.
“This friend….”
I was resentful and asked why he did that.
And to bid you farewell.
I couldn’t even ask him why he didn’t tell me.
It was because I had no one to question and I knew why it was like that.
Mimir was a smart friend.
Perhaps, if the price of his plan was complete annihilation beyond the eyes, Odin would never have cooperated.
no.
Maybe he was trying to interfere.
Mimir might have even foreseen that far.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Yuwon Kim.
After finding out that that guy came back from the future and learning about the future situation through him.
Odin asked, feeling disappointed that Mimir had known this fact before him.
“Is there a reason you can’t tell me?”
“What is the reason? “It’s because we have nothing else to do.”
“Is that why you stay still? “You bastard, deceive the person you want to deceive.”
There’s nothing to do. Of course I didn’t believe it.
I thought he was hiding something. But I trusted him, so I didn’t ask for details.
But the result is this.
“He’s an absurd guy, both when we first met and now.”
“It’s Odin.”
The first time I met Mimir was in a tutorial.
“It’s Mimir.”
“This one was still pretty good. “Do you want to go with me?”
And Odin thought that the moment he reached out to Mimir was the beginning of Asgard.
The two men who teamed up together fought for the first time.
Odin was interested in Mimir’s brilliant skills such as fire and ice.
“What was that earlier?”
“It’s called magic.”
“Magic?”
“You seem to be using a spear.”
“Yes, but… that also piques my interest.”
As a child, Odin was interested in everything. Mimir’s magic was truly attractive to him, who was training to use a spear as a weapon.
“Would you like to learn?”
“You mean that magic thing?”
“okay.”
It was from that day.
Odin was never separated from Mimir. Even when he drank from the spring of Yggdrasil, knowing that he would be trapped by the curse of knowledge, Odin supported his choice.
It was the same this time too.
“I don’t know what on earth they have prepared, but…”
There’s no way that could fail.
Odin nodded and managed to compose himself.
Mimir.
My one and only friend, older than Asgard.
If this is his choice, I respect it.
Did I tell you not to get angry?
Odin nodded.
I had no intention of swearing or getting angry like I had worried.
This time, he was wrong.
“Don’t be so lonely.”
Odin was not angry. Instead of being angry, I thought maybe I was happy.
Jeopuk-.
Odin went deeper into the center of the Outer.
Suddenly.
Tsutsu-.
Gungnir, who had been thrown away with all his might, came back into his hands. He grabbed Gungnir and looked at the huge battlefield unfolding before his eyes.
Mimir is dead.
no.
Not only that, countless rankers were already dying.
Chijijiji-.
Odin takes another shot. I thought as I started Gungnir.
There was no war that everyone could live with. Someone was bound to die or everyone would die.
So who will die and who will survive in this fight?
Among them, first of all.
‘Mimir and me.’
These two were confirmed.
Jureuk-.
Odin muttered, his blue eyes shining, no longer stopping the nosebleed.
“I’ll follow you right away, my friend.”
