Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 518
[Level Up with God Episode 518]
* * *
Flutter-.
Brunnhilde came to Odin’s side and knelt down.
The fact that he had walked this far was so beautiful that it was considered a miracle. Every part of his armor was crushed, and his pale complexion looked as if he had collapsed at any time.
“You were overexerting yourself.”
Who is speaking to whom?
Odin shook his head.
“It’s still okay.”
“Let me take a look at your wounds.”
“It’s even going to hurt….”
Ugh.
Brunnhilde’s hand rested on Odin’s back. Magical energy seeped through my palms, trying to calm my agitated stomach.
however.
“…!”
Brunnhilde’s eyes widened as if torn.
As the leader of the Valkyries, she was skilled not only in swordsmanship but also in her abilities as a commander and in healing.
Although it was not as bad as the archangels in heaven, it was not a task to take care of the seriously wounded.
The problem was Odin’s condition.
“…How are you alive?”
Jureuk-.
As if those words were a trigger, blood flowed from Odin’s nose.
That wasn’t all.
When Odin opened his mouth to answer a question, his mouth was filled with blood that had flowed back from his torn and burst intestines.
“Shouldn’t you hold on until you can?”
The ‘King of Asgard’ had the ability to replace shocks within the scope of his influence.
Most of them come back greatly offset, but no matter how much Odin was, he couldn’t take the continuous shock indefinitely.
‘No way….’
Click-.
Ji-Ik-.
Brunnhilde, who realized this fact too late, quickly took off the golden armor Odin was wearing and tore the cloth inside it.
Something unexpected was revealed on my bare back.
Hum, hum, hum -.
Giiing-.
Odin’s entire body was covered in magic circles. And the magic formula was all about cushioning the shock and restoring the body.
Ever since this fight began, Odin has been wearing these things.
“There’s no need to try too hard.”
Magic circles shaking precariously.
It was no different from Odin’s vitality.
“Is there anything special about me? Even at this very moment, there are more than one person dying.”
There is no set weight to a person’s life. From that perspective, it wasn’t wrong.
But Brunnhilde could not agree to that statement.
Odin.
Who is he?
He was the greatest king in this tower and ruled a huge country spanning five floors.
Moreover, he was now the leader leading this battlefield.
Kuuk-.
Brunnhilde could not tell Odin to stop.
The ‘King of Asgard’, the myth that he is influencing this battlefield with, was not just a replacement for the damage suffered by our allies.
Odin.
It was proof that the great king was with him on this battlefield and was holding firm.
However, if Odin’s death becomes known…
“Raphael! Uriel!”
The battlefield will collapse in an instant.
Brunnhilde hurriedly called the archangels of heaven.
It didn’t occur to me that I could save him right now.
But even if it’s one-hundredth or one-tenth of a million.
His death had to be delayed as much as possible.
[The ‘King of Asgard’ commands the battlefield.]
Odin’s name must not be erased from this battlefield.
Raphael and Uriel hurried over for that purpose.
“Please recover!”
At Brunnhilde’s request, two archangels came to Odin’s side.
Odin slowly took a breath while receiving their treatment.
Now this treatment only slightly delayed death. Nevertheless, the reason he did not refuse treatment was because he knew how much his presence was needed on the battlefield.
‘How long can you endure?’
Exhaling harshly, Odin listened to the sound of thunder in the distance.
‘Hercules.’
Kwarung-!
* * *
Kwaang-!
Hercules’ outstretched fist struck the giant’s jaw.
The huge body suddenly rose upward. The giant who had struggled to get up from his seat stumbled once again.
Thick-.
The sensation I felt in my fist was unusual.
I was hitting so hard that my fist was starting to hurt.
Sigh-!
As he was pounding the giant’s body, something grabbed Hercules’ leg.
Quite a strong grip. Hercules’ wild movements stopped and his body was blown away by the force of his hold.
Buuuuung-!
Kwagwagwagwagwak-!
The body of Hercules flew and turned over on the ground. While Hercules was flying, he quickly regained his balance by slamming one fist into the ground.
“What is that guy doing again…”
Hercules raised his head and his vision turned black.
Before he could say a word, it was already flying towards Hercules.
Buuuung-!
Kwaang-!
An impact strong enough to create a huge crater.
It’s a bit expensive-.
Fortunately, Hercules was able to quickly transform his body into lightning and escape from the scene.
Soon Hercules confirmed the existence of the Outer that attacked him.
It had a body so huge that it seemed like it might have been a giant, but it wasn’t a giant.
[‘Giant Slayer’ feels great confusion from the opponent.]
[‘Giant Slayer’ does not react.]
It was like an undead monster, Dullahan, without a head. His body was so fat that it was hard to believe how he moved so quickly.
On both hands was a bizarre mouth with a flicking tongue. For some reason, it felt like blood was flowing from my calf. It looked like it had been bitten by the teeth on that hand.
[Distortion of an intelligent being]
Now, if you look at the name, it was Hercules with his bones.
After checking the guy’s name, Hercules muttered with an expression of boredom.
“He looks exactly like his name.”
It has no head and has a mouth on its hand.
Everything looks distorted.
This was not a guy to be taken lightly.
“…I’m tired.”
Slowly, my body becomes stiff.
His magical power was beginning to run out, and he was reaching his physical limit.
Nevertheless, I have no choice but to do it.
Hit it-.
A shock of electricity wrapped around my hand.
Several thunderbolts shot out from Hercules’ hands.
Kwa-reung-kwa-ung-!
The distortion of intelligent beings escaped the thunderbolts fired by Hercules.
“That kind of mobility with that fat body…”
This is a foul.
Before he could finish speaking, Hercules unleashed the power of the thunderbolt through the club in his hand.
Kwarung-!
The clubs of Hercules collided with the distortions of intelligent beings.
Compared to his size, he was very fast. Hercules, who was physically exhausted due to his great strength, was pushed back several times.
Boom boom boom!
That’s it -.
That was when Hercules was pushed back little by little.
Gugugugugu-.
A shadow loomed over the two of them.
Giant’s feet.
It trampled Hercules.
Kwaang-!
Ujikkeun-!
Hercules was stuck in the ground. For a moment, it seemed like all the bones in his body were turning into powder and being crushed, but Hercules used his strength to get up.
[The power of a giant resides in your legs.]
Kwajik-Kujijik-.
Two swollen legs.
“Ugh…”
Hercules muttered, gritting his teeth and getting up.
“It’s these guys who are fighting again…”
I burst out laughing out of shock.
Why does he always fight these big guys?
“Are you Hercules?”
lang syne.
I remembered the time when I encountered Gigantes when Gigantomachia was at its peak.
At that time, Hercules’ stock price was rising. At the time, he was blinded by something and frantically swept across the battlefield, slaughtering giants.
“Do I recognize it?”
“…Gigantes.”
When I think about it, it seems like it started from that time.
I started to shake.
thud-.
One of the four Gigantes.
He came to Hercules and knelt down.
“I heard that you have a naturally gentle personality. “He is the exact opposite of Zeus.”
“What does that mean?”
“I understand you have a personal grudge against our giants.”
He didn’t seem to have any intention of fighting.
Gigantes is a being at the level of the three gods of Olympus.
It was an unbelievable sight to see such a Gigantes kneeling down on his own.
“Hit him as much as you want until his anger goes away. If you want to kill it, that’s fine. Instead, please do not persecute us any more.”
“It’s useless. Better get up and fight.”
“no. “This is our best.”
I hesitated for a moment.
Is it really right to kill the person right in front of you?
Hercules, who stood there blankly for a few minutes, took Gigantes’ life on the spot.
The Gigantes, who had been four that day, were reduced to three.
[‘Title: Giant Slayer’ was acquired.]
It was around that time that he earned the title of Giant Slayer and began to be called that title.
But Hercules’ slaughter slowed down little by little from then on.
Every time I swung my fist at the giants, unpleasant emotions piled up, and my heart burned hotter due to the clash of anger and guilt.
And when he learned that his mother Alcmene’s death was caused by Zeus and Ares.
Hercules made a promise in front of another Gigantes.
If you ask me for this worthless life, I will give it to you.
If that’s not enough, I will somehow correct the mistake.
He said he would use the rest of his time for that.
“…So what you’re saying is that it was he who caused Gigantomachia?”
The truth learned one day by Yuwon.
Yuwon told Hercules, who was suffering from the memories of Gigantomachia, that Gigantomachia was one of the foolish and chaotic plans to annihilate the giants.
“It was your father who did it.”
Yuwon did not deny Hercules’ words.
Zeus was the one who put Gigantomachia into action, but it was foolish chaos that first established the plan.
The guy moved for this day.
Gigantomachia, Ragnarok, and the Great War of the Heavenly Demon…
Millions or hundreds of millions of lives died for this day.
“It’s something to live for a long time.”
If you think about it, it was only a few years ago.
If it were a giant, its eyes would light up and it would rush to kill it.
The person who was like that is now fighting with that responsibility on his back.
‘I should have died there that day anyway.’
The day I found out all the facts and stood in front of Gigantes with Yuwon.
The memory of the day he decided to die still weighed heavily on Hercules’ shoulders.
[The ‘Giant Slayer’ confronts the ‘tallest giant.’]
[The ‘Giant Slayer’ recognizes the ‘distortion of intelligent beings’ as ‘giants.’]
And this title continued to remind him of his determination. .
‘After all, it is a body and a myth made with their blood.’
[‘Hero of Gigantomachia’ continues the myth.] Neither
the giant slayer nor the hero of Gigantomachia.
And even the skill ‘Giantization’ that represents Hercules.
It was a strength built up through the blood of giants.
‘therefore-.’
As long as that power is flowing through the body.
‘I don’t care if it ends here.’
Hercules had no intention of fighting for his life.
