Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 532

[Level Up with God Side Story Episode 8]

* * *

“There are no marbles here.”

At Yuwon’s words, Cyric’s expression hardened for a moment.

The change in facial expression was fleeting.

So much so that it is difficult for not only ordinary players but even most rankers to notice the change.

Scammer Cyric.

It didn’t get that name for nothing.

“What do you want to say?”

“You need beads to make it even. “You can’t choose a bead that isn’t there.”

chin-.

Yuwon picked up the nearest cup.

“look.”

Empty cup.

Yuwon next moved his hand towards another cup next to him.

“Here too.”

Second and then third.

“Here too…”

The moment Yuwon picks up the fourth and fifth cups.

“What are you doing now!”

Sigh…

Cyric grabbed Yuwon’s hand.

I wanted to just snap his wrist.

But if I did that, I didn’t know what kind of commotion would break out right here.

What’s more,

‘Did this bastard come out of the management bureau?’

The other person saw through his trick.

He was right. Just as Yu-won said, there were no marbles in this cup.

“There aren’t any, right?”

When Yoo-won’s irritated question made me burst into tears and anger:

“Oh, this was left here!”

Cyric’s group, who were touting customers nearby, held up a scarlet bead in their hand and shouted,

“Haha, you’re making all these mistakes. It’s not like you, Cyric.”

He deliberately raised his voice so that everyone could hear.

The audience, spotting the scarlet bead in his hand, stirred.

“What, was it really true that there was no bead?”

“When did it fall?”

“Even rankers make mistakes.”

“I’m a little suspicious…”

Cyric’s eyes narrowed slightly.

A very small change in facial expression that only Yuwon nearby can notice.

But despite his upset feelings, Cyric had to apologize.

“I guess I made a mistake. How do I make up for this…”

“Let’s move on to the next game. Anyway, it’s true that we found that the marble is not here.”

Yuwon’s gaze glanced at the man who was calming the crowd.

‘Is this a team of cheaters? That guy seems to be quite skilled… It’s a waste of rankings and skills.’

At best, it was on the first floor.

Although it was a trivial game, the 100 points required to play this game may not be a huge amount of money, but it was definitely money that could not be ignored on the first floor. If I worked like

this for one more month, I could easily earn about 1 million points. Of course,

that was only if no one got the ‘prize’ they were offering.

‘Cheater Cyric. I’ve only heard of the name, but is this my first time seeing it in person?’

He wasn’t a very famous ranker.

As a ranker who used hallucination-type skills, he originally specialized in combat assistance.

But at some point, he became obsessed with money and started scamming various guilds.

Of course,

that’s not a very beautiful thing to say . But I couldn’t do it.

‘How did I fall to this bottom?’

Cyric’s purpose was obvious. He

was probably planning to rip off the money from the players and residents on the first floor and then move up again.

“Is that so? You’re challenging the next game.”

Next game.

Cyric recognized Yuwon’s challenge as a provocation.

He took out another cup and marble from his inventory and held them in front of him.

“This time, the cups and marbles will increase one by one. Of course, the difficulty will more than double. .”

Cyric began to mix the cups, curling the corners of his mouth upwards.

The cups were moving several times faster than before. Cyric was determined to fool Yuwon’s eyes.

‘

It’s not an ordinary bet.’

Cyric looked at Yuwon with his face covered in a mask and his eyes shining red.

The man in front of him recognized his trick.

Of course, it was just a simple sleight of hand, but it was difficult for even a decent ranker to recognize

. It must have some special skill that strengthens it.’

What is certain is that your opponent is not a player on the first floor.

If that is the case, you should move accordingly.

Tap.

Then your hand stops.

“Now, take your pick.”

Cyric dropped his hand from the cup with a kind face.

“If you guess the position of the bead this time, you can take home the elixir of immortality made by Daeva as a prize.”

“The elixir of eternal life?”

“Was that that?”

“It is said that if you eat, you will be able to live forever even if you are not a ranker…”

People were buzzing.

The second of Cyric’s products, ‘Elixir of Eternal Life’, was not an elixir that could actually provide elixir of life.

To be precise, the only effect of the elixir is ‘immortality.’

However, the value of the elixir for its effect alone was enormous.

‘Your eyes will roll back. Even if you succeed just twice, your life will turn around. But I’ll never get it right anyway….’

“Number 1 and number 4.”

“…!”

Cyric’s eyes opened wide.

This time, anyone could notice the change in expression.

Yuwon, paying no heed to Cyric’s reaction, reached out and took out the first cup.

“You got one right.”

Soon he reaches for cup number 4.

“The other one is….”

At that time.

[‘Trickster’s Trick’ is activated.]

[You can manipulate the memory of the designated opponent.]

[You can move the designated object.]

Trickster’s Trick.

Current Seer A B-grade skill that made Rick what it is.

The grade itself is not that high, but the skill proficiency is close to 100%.

Using the skill is as easy as moving your hands and feet.

So Cyric planned to turn the situation around with this skill. .

‘I didn’t know I’d be using it here, but…’

I ended up using the skill only on the first floor.

‘There’s nothing I can do about it.’

The elixir of immortality is an item with a market value of over 100,000 points.

There was no way I could pass it up so easily.

[An unknown force intervenes.]

[‘The trick of the trickster’ is cancelled.]

A question mark appeared in my mind.

Just as the embarrassed Cyric paused for a moment, Yuwon opened the second cup.

“You got it right.”

Two scarlet beads.

Cyric finally rolled his eyes.

“This is a scam…”

The mouth that was about to shout out that it was a scam was tightly closed.

That was his specialty.

If we were to judge right here and now about fraud and other things, the management bureau would definitely step in.

Above all, it is now impossible to use force.

If you use force against players or residents on the first floor, you will be immediately sanctioned by the tower.

“Let’s move on.”

Cyric, who looked blank for a moment at Yuwon’s words, quickly put on his mask.

Cyric opened his mouth with a friendly smile.

“Are you sure you want to try? If you fail, the prize for the second attempt will also be lost.”

“doesn’t care.”

“…All right. “Then this time.”

Sigh-.

Cyric took out one more cup and marble from his inventory and started shuffling them again.

but.

“5 times 7 times 10 times.”

[An unknown force intervenes.]

[‘Trickster’s Trick’ is cancelled.]

Next.

“No. 1, No. 3, No. 4, No. 6.”

[An unknown force intervenes.]

[‘The Trickster’s Trick’ is cancelled.]

And again and again.

The skill continued to fail.

Wow-.

‘This is not possible.’

It was already the 4th time.

Now there’s only one thing left.

Once I got through to the end, there was no future anymore.

‘I don’t know what the ability is, but that bastard has the ability to nullify my skills. The eyes are also following my hand…’

Cyric glared at Yuwon, squeezing his hand behind his back.

‘I have no choice but to run away.’

[Creates an ‘Illusion of a Trickster’.]

[Replicates the environment within the specified space.]

Ugh-.

Translucent magic spread around Cyric.

A trickster’s illusion.

A skill that deceives the surroundings by creating a semi-realistic shape.

Cyric, who activated the skill, immediately tried to run away with the goods.

however.

“I said let’s just wait and see.”

Sigh-.

Before he knew it, an outstretched hand grabbed Cyric’s wrist and blocked the skill from activating.

“Are you crossing the line?”

[‘Spirit of Spray’ intervenes in ‘Illusion of the Trickster’.]

[‘Illusion of the Trickster’ disappears.]

Hwaaaa-.

The translucent magic disappeared, and the surrounding scenery became distorted for a moment.

In the eyes of the audience, the image of Cyric calmly taking out the next cup disappeared and his true appearance was revealed, with his hand being held by a handsome man.

“what?”

“Did you just see it?”

“Who is that person? Suddenly, he appeared from nowhere….”

“Va Varuna!”

A spectator shouted after recognizing the man.

It was strange not to know the handsome appearance that seemed to shine on his face.

“I heard he came down to the first floor…”

“Why did he appear here?”

“Is Varuna also interested in that product?”

“It is a product that even high rankers would covet, but… this situation is a bit…”

Varuna glared at Cyric with burning eyes.

Cyric, who of course could not have known his face, looked embarrassed

. There wasn’t much change, but inside I was screaming,

‘Why is a Daeva high ranker here?’

I didn’t immediately understand why a high ranker of that level had come down to the first floor.

But at the same time, I started to understand this situation.

‘Varuna was behind me.’

Even if he was Cyric, there was a limit to who he could fool with hallucinations.

Although Varuna was better known than other high rankers due to his good looks, he was definitely a ranker with enough skills to be appointed as a Daeva executive.

In that case, it wouldn’t be that difficult to destroy his skills.

‘It’s okay. It’s still okay.’

His skills leave no evidence.

Even though Varuna is behind him, the game is not over yet.

“There seems to be some misunderstanding.”

“Misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding?”

“Would you like to talk about this first? Varuna. “It hurts a little.”

Cyric trembled his arms and broke into a cold sweat, as if he was truly in pain.

To spectators who don’t know anything, it will only be seen as a Daeva high ranker suddenly interfering and disrupting a well-run game.

“…The acting is amazing.”

Varuna had no choice but to grit his teeth and let go of Cyric’s wrist.

The initial goal was to help out in a difficult situation and gain Yuwon’s favor even a little more.

‘This is nothing but pointless behavior…’

Varuna glanced at Yuwon standing next to him and made a puzzled expression.

Yu-won was looking in a completely different direction than the one who had invaded.

“Hey, this is a fun game.”

And then.

“But the guy who was mixing it earlier was really bad at it. Can’t someone else mix it up?”

“Who else this time-.”

The moment I turned my head, wondering if it was some kind of uninvited guest.

Tuk-.

A tall man with long pure white hair put his head towards Cyric.

“I do not know?”

A voice mixed with giggling laughter.

Hwareuk-.

Goku’s eyes burned brightly and reflected Cyric’s terrified expression like a mirror.

“really?”
