Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 544

[Level Up with God Side Story Episode 20]

* * *

Arrows rained down.

It felt like it was raining.

Sharp rainwater tinged with blue magic poured down and pierced hard armor and flesh.

–help me-!

–run away-.

–give up! I will abstain-.

–Aaaahhh-!

In the rain of arrows pouring down like a storm.

Things like screams spread throughout the stadium where the sound had disappeared.

An arrow fired by Lee Ye.

The disaster it created quickly reduced the number of survivors in the 1st seed.

And in the midst of it all.

‘Those who survived…’

After shooting the arrow, Lee Ye scanned the number of remaining survivors and their faces.

‘That guy stayed too.’

Seongyoon Lee.

He was protecting himself from the rain of arrows using a veil created using mana.

It seemed like he got hit in the shoulder by one shot, but it was still admirable that he blocked it.

Although it was a wide-range attack to begin with, it was something that could not be easily blocked unless you were a high ranker.

Plus.

‘also.’

From the beginning, Lee Ye was interested in only one person.

‘Are you okay?’

The only player who had a clue to the elixir was Yuwon.

‘I thought he was an unusual guy, but he doesn’t have any scars.’

I didn’t think I was going to die.

If he felt like he was going to die, he would have stepped forward to save him.

Anyway, there was a chance that he had a clue to the elixir.

But this was unexpected.

“There are five left.”

Yuwon looked around and checked the number of remaining participants.

In this match, where a total of eight players were supposed to appear, there were actually fewer passers than that.

This is a situation where progress may be hindered.

However, the interest of Lee Ye, who actually created the situation, was somewhere completely different.

Yuwon made eye contact with Lee Ye, who was glaring at him.

‘Whether it will be fate or bad luck….’

Bleep!

A message announcing the end of the test.

At the same time, the participants on the stadium began to disappear one by one.

‘I won’t find out until this competition is over.’

* * *

The competitions of other seeds were not much different.

Each seed had one or two high rankers.

Thanks to the fact that they eliminated the contestants due to the overwhelming difference in skill, the remaining eight were survivors.

Wasak-.

Calmly biting into an apple, Lee Ye laid down on the sofa assigned to the waiting room.

He took out the player kit, which he rarely took out, and was looking at the screen.

‘Where on earth did he disappear to?’

I got frustrated.

Did you say Kim Yu-hoon?

Due to the interference of the guy whose name I had never heard of, Pluto failed the test and lost the way to obtain the diluted elixir.

And the guy named Kim Yu-hoon, who was supposed to be able to get the real elixir, had not been seen since the preliminaries ended.

‘It is not visible in the rankings.’

Among the names of high rankers, the name Kim Yu-hoon was not found.

It wasn’t just high rankers.

No matter how much I searched through the rankings, I couldn’t find a similar name, let alone Kim Yu-hoon.

When I lowered the rankings, only three letters of the name Seongyoon Lee that were similar appeared.

‘There is no way you can fool the management bureau.’

Lee Ye’s eyebrows furrowed.

‘Am I wrong?’

Ranking Bureau.

They have been ranking players and rankers for a long time.

There was some noise, but no one was very dissatisfied with the ranking.

That’s how accurate the rankings established by the ranking management bureau were, and there was a secret hidden in some way for the unknown reasons.

However, the ranking agency did not list the name Kim Yu-hoon.

“…Should I think I was deceived?”

What are the chances of getting a clue to the elixir from a ranker whose name is difficult to find in the rankings?

No, now I was doubtful whether he was even a ranker.

My mind became complicated.

When I was sitting in the waiting room and looking at the kit.

“Would you mind not taking up space and moving out of the way?”

A shadow fell over Lee Ye’s head.

Inside the waiting room shared by dozens of participants.

Without fear, she spoke to Lee Ye, who had a serious expression on her face.

however.

“…and.”

“Aphrodite?”

“You idiot. Your hair color is different.”

Beautiful silver hair that seemed to be made of fine thread. Skin that was whiter and smoother than the hair.

It was as if Aphrodite, said to be the pinnacle of beauty, had come down from the sky.

While most of the participants were mesmerized, Iye, who was nearby, was the exception. No.

‘Is it Tsukuyomi?’

Silver hair was not common.

Furthermore, there were no more than a hundred rankers in this tower who could stand proudly without being discouraged in front of Iye. The

only survivor of the now fallen Three Demons.

Tsukuyomi.

She participated in the Battle of Heaven.

“I think there are many other seats available?”

“Because the other seats are unpleasant.”

“Are you uncomfortable?”

“I hate weak people.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

It was an unusual answer, but Lee Ye took it as a compliment.

Her answer meant that she was the only one among the participants in the waiting room to acknowledge Lee Ye.

Lee Ye slowly got up and gave up her seat on the sofa.

Lee Ye had it all to herself. The sofa he was on was quite wide, so when he corrected his posture while lying down, a few more people could sit comfortably.

“But that’s surprising.”

“what?”

“I didn’t know someone like you would be interested in the position of general.”

Her ranking, one of the top three beauties, was 95th.

She was originally a high ranker in the 80s, but after the fall of the Three Ghosts, her ranking dropped somewhat. However,

both in rankings and in skill, she was definitely inferior to Lee Ye. “ It’s

fine to have that, but it’s okay to not have it.”

“then? “Is the prize money the goal?”

“That too.”

Lee Ye made a puzzled expression.

The winning prize for this competition is a general position and points. There were two things.

There were differentiated rewards as you passed the preliminaries and got closer to the finals, but I don’t think Tsukuyomi participated hoping for just that.

“There’s something else I’m chasing.”

‘Is he being chased?’

Unusual answer.

Lee Ye, who had a questioning expression for a moment, suddenly remembered a scene.

‘no way.’

The man holding Kusanagi.

Kim Yu-hoon.

An item that was once a symbol of the Three Demons and led to Susanoo’s death.

“Samsingi.”

She was aiming for the same goal as herself.

* * *

The 5th seed was a solo performance by one person.

Kurung Kurung-.

Black storm clouds covered the stadium.

And within it, a flash of golden light emerges.

Looking at the overwhelming wave of golden light, the other participants did not even dare to attack.

Jeopuk-.

A man with dazzling golden hair that resembles lightning.

The youngest high ranker who will lead the next generation to inherit the throne of Olympus.

Hargan.

“Only pure minnows.”

He looked around the audience and clicked his tongue.

“…just like back then.”

I remembered the feeling I had when I first took the tutorial.

There was just a lot of numbers, but none of them were real.

You could tell who the ranker was just by looking at them being scared by his appearance.

It would have been a little more fun if I had been assigned to the same seed as that guy named Lee Ye.

Hit it-.

A nearby ranker asked as he looked at the lightning flashing dangerously as if it might explode at any moment.

“You’re not interested in the prizes of this contest anyway, are you?”

The prize for winning the Heavenly World War is the position of general and points.

However, it made no sense for Hargan, the direct son of Zeus, the king of Olympus, to reside in heaven.

Naturally, other participants were bound to be dissatisfied.

but.

“Does not matter.”

Hargan was not at all interested in the circumstances of the other participants or the prizes that came with winning.

“I just walk higher. Fight against the strong, sharpen your skills, and increase your ranking. “This competition is a pretty good stage for that.”

Whether just starting to climb the tower or now, Hargan has only one purpose.

It was to become a complete ranker with the qualities to become the king of Olympus.

“But you guys aren’t enough.”

Chiji chijiji-.

Kurrrrr-!

The sky shook.

Hargan’s eyes flashed golden, and electricity from above the clouds began pouring down.

Quauuuung-!

A thunderstorm covers the stadium.

The rankers who were barely able to block or avoid the rain of lightning muttered helplessly as they saw Hargan dealing with an entire seed by himself.

“I’m not even Zeus…”

Hargan.

He is the direct son of Zeus, the youngest and the fastest to reach high rank.

He specialized in fighting against the majority, just like his father Zeus.

Kwaaung-!

Har. The stadium being swept away by the liver.

Lee Seong-yoon, who was watching it from the stands, shook his head as if he knew that would happen.

“With that guy’s short temper.”

“I know.”

Sigh…

Someone came and sat down in the empty seat next to Lee Seong-yoon.

There were two people.

One of them looked familiar.

“Kim Yu-hoon?”

“I don’t know when that temper will go away. It’s only gotten worse.”

He spoke as if he knew Hargan well.

It was strange.

Hargan was a colleague who had been with him since the tutorial. There

was no way he wouldn’t know someone he knew.

Besides,

‘Who is it?’

Lee Seong-yoon glanced at the orange-haired woman who came next to Yu-won.

She was beautiful enough to attract attention even though half of her face was covered with a mask. I

watched with the thought that if I knew the people with her, I might be able to find out Yu-won’s identity. Because more than half of his face was covered, I couldn’t think of anyone.

“Even if I wasn’t, I was looking for you.”

“I’m very popular. Three people are already looking for me.”

“Three people?”

Who on earth are you talking about?

Lee Seong-yoon looked puzzled for a moment, but then thought it was none of his business and asked what was going on.

“Are you a player from Earth too?”

“It was like that.”

“Where did you live…”

“Anyang. “The place where I got caught up in the tutorial was Hongdae in Mapo.”

“Hongdae-myeon-.”

Seongyoon Lee smiled brightly.

Happy to see him, he leaned closer to Yuwon and greeted him.

“I also took a tutorial nearby. In Sinchon next to Hongdae. “We are in sync.”

“Did you?”

“yes. Our team leader also took the tutorial together at that time. But it’s strange. “I don’t remember seeing it in the tutorial.”

“I guess we never had to run into each other.”

“Everyone gathers together when you defeat the boss, right? “At that time, the team leader and I formed our first team.”

Seongyoon Lee was quite talkative.

When he found out that Yuwon was his classmate in the tutorial, he started talking about what happened in the first tutorial.

It seems like he was happy to have met a fellow Korean.

It was around the time when stories about my hometown started coming out.

“Hey! Seongyoon Lee!”

Seongyoon Lee turned his head to the voice calling him.

Far above the stadium.

Hargan was gesturing towards Lee Seong-yoon, who was in the audience.

“It’s annoying again.”

Seongyoon Lee checked the message from Hargan as he watched Hargan take out the kit and lift it high.

This time, I was wondering if they wanted me to run some errand again.

“uh?”

Lee Seong-yoon’s eyes widened after checking the message.

He was secretly observing Yuwon next to him and opened his mouth.

“Would you like to see our team leader?”
