Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 564

[Level Up with the Gods Side Story Episode 40]

* * *

Yuwon held a sword in his hand.

He just stood there holding his sword.

‘Is it not moving?’

Athena frowned slightly as she looked at the motionless opponent.

It was as if he was provoking me and telling me to cut him down once.

Are you confident in your skills?

‘If you have confidence, it’s good as you are.’

The goal of this fight was not to win anyway.

Confirmation of the other party.

That was the real purpose of this fight.

‘Then where…’

Paaa-.

There was no need to see that I was confident.

‘Let me check.’

Quaaaat-!

Athena’s sword cut Yuwon’s body in half.

It was as visible as it was visible. But I had no feeling in my fingertips.

Tsu-.

Disappearing like a mirage.

The image of Yuwon being cut by a sword was reflected in Aegis.

Athena’s eyes lit up at the speed of Yuwon, who had suddenly returned behind her.

‘fast.’

I was caught behind, but I wasn’t embarrassed.

There was nothing surprising since there was no limit to the opponent’s skills in the first place.

‘But…’

In the first place, Athena’s true power was not a sword or anything like that.

‘It’s not a problem to be fast.’

That’s why she’s really strong.

Giiiing-.

[‘Shield of Aegis’ starts.]

[Starts ‘slowing’ of the target.]

[Starts ‘petrification’ of the target.]

Slowing and petrification.

It was an ability built into the Aegis.

Aegis.

One of the masterpieces created by Hephaestus, the best blacksmith in the tower.

After it was once broken, Athena asked Hephaestus to strengthen the Aegis further.

Aegis was a starter item created by Hephaestus using the head of a monster called ‘Medusa’.

That power was strong enough to turn the body of a fairly high ranker into stone.

More than anything.

‘This will be unavoidable.’

The range of Aegis’s power was everything within the range reflected by the Aegis.

Jiiiing-!

Aegis’s influence swept across the entire battlefield.

Blah blah blah-!

Grass and trees hardened into stone.

Even Athena’s limbs, who were far away, were caught up in the power and their bodies froze.

‘Athena the Aegis?’

‘With this much power, it’s a perfect start.’

‘Did you judge the other person to be that dangerous?’

They were the limbs who had supported Athena since she first became a ranker.

Aigis is a shield that does not block enemies.

Athena did not try to borrow the power of items for anything.

It was based on the theory that it was not his power.

Nevertheless, now Athena has started the Aegis for the first time since the last war.

That’s right.

Cadd-.

This meant that Athena was putting the name of Olympus on the line in this fight.

“You won.”

“If I had been hit by Aigis’ petrification from that distance…”

I might have been hardened for several years.”

Yuwon’s appearance hardened to a gray color.

The warriors of Olympus, confident of victory, immediately relaxed.

There has never been a case where a person who had been turned to stone by the Aigis returned to his original state on his own.

But…

wow…

he must have turned into stone. Cracks began to form in Yuwon’s body.

‘No way?’

At the moment when she was about to miss, Athena’s body moved first.

She hurriedly stabbed the knife into Yuwon’s chest, which had turned to stone. Her

instinctive judgment was that if the petrification was about to break free, she should strike the final blow before it breaks free.

But.

Quaddeuk-!

Jeong-!

“…!”

In an instant, Yuwon’s sword, which broke the petrification, bounced away Athena’s sword.

Jerk, Jerk,

I was defeated in the battle of power between sword and sword.

I was careless.

My body is still stiff . It was his own mistake of not applying enough force to the hand holding the sword because he thought he was losing.

No,

even if you put all that aside and think about it,

‘his stats are higher than mine.’

Athena grabbed the thrown sword again and rushed towards Yuwon again.

Defense through the Aegis and attack with the sword.

The balance of offense and defense was Athena’s greatest strength.

Quaat quaggwat.

Buuuung.

Swinging with all her might .

The sword split the air every time.

Athena, who was cutting down a tree, lifted Aigis, who had strengthened her defenses, thinking it would not work this way.

“Hmph!”

The veins on her forearms sprouted, and magical power filled Aegis.

An unusual amount of magical power.

Hercules, who was watching the fight, widened his eyes wide with the thought of wondering.

“Sister? No way…”

Hercules said , “No way?” Just a moment.

She slammed the shield, which had become so heavy that she could no longer handle it, on the ground with all her might.

Guuuuung-!

What the heck!

The ground caved in.

The shock caused by the Aegis turned the ground upside down and even engulfed the house of Hercules, which was located not far away.

Hercules, who had suddenly landed on the ground, jumped high and screamed.

Athena checked Yuwon’s appearance reflected in the Aegis and recited the last verse.

“Answer my call-.”

Saaaa-.

The snake’s cry spreads throughout the battlefield.

Drenched in sweat, Athena unsealed the monster in the Aegis.

“medusa.”

[‘Shield of Aegis’ starts up.]

[‘Medusa’ answers your call.]

Ahhh!

A snake head pattern that appears on the Aegis.

Hundreds of snakes poured out through the pattern.

“It’s Medusa-!”

“Everyone close your eyes!”

When the monster’s hair appeared, all of Athena’s warriors closed their eyes and turned around.

If I made eye contact with one of those snakes or was bitten by its teeth, I might never be able to wake up from the petrification.

however.

“If this is the case, you won’t have anything to regret.”

Yuwon put the sword in his inventory and stood face to face with Medusa’s snakes.

Medusa’s head was like the body of the Aegis.

The ability of petrification cannot even be compared to that of a simple boot.

If you made eye contact or even got bitten by their teeth, it would be difficult for you to be safe no matter how strong you were.

“You’re overconfident.”

Athena, who tried to stop Medusa because she thought it was dangerous, soon made up her mind.

This means that if he was a guy who would lose his life just because of his pride, it wasn’t even worth Zeus showing any interest in the first place.

Stopping Medusa was not an appropriate test for him.

however.

Chi-ji-chi-.

It was from that moment that golden electricity began to flow through the ring on Yuwon’s hand.

A familiar flow of magic power.

As far as Athena knew, there were only three people in this vast tower with that power.

‘How could the author-.’

thunderbolt.

A power that only Zeus and Hercules Hargan, who inherited his bloodline, should possess.

Quauuuung-!

The moment when that power emanates from Yuwon’s hands.

Kyaaaaa-!

Easy profit.

The bodies and heads of hundreds of snakes were torn to pieces or exploded.

A wave of golden electricity filled the surroundings of Athena.

The magical power of the lightning attribute, boasting a vast range, swept the battlefield through the ring filled with Yuwon.

“How could you-!”

“No, it’s a little different from that guy.”

Chiji chijijiji-.

Yuwon walked towards Athena, cutting through the lightning of golden waves.

“Because this is truly original.”

What remained of Zeus was not the thunderbolt, but only the remnants of the thunderbolt that remained from having had the thunderbolt for a long time.

So, the true power of lightning that Olympus knows about now.

It was closer to the power unfolding in Yuwon’s hands.

Cluck cluck cluck-.

“Of course, this isn’t fake either.”

Yuwon’s fist stretched forward.

A fist slowly stretched out.

It seemed as if they were deliberately giving him time to avoid it.

however.

‘Turn into a giant?’

At this moment, Athena was so shocked that she froze in place and was unable to escape.

The power in Yuwon’s arms.

It was a skill symbolizing Hercules, a high ranker who represents Olympus along with Zeus.

Kwaaaang-!

Athena’s body, which hastily lifted the Aegis, floated upward.

A heavy impact transmitted over the shield.

Pap-duk-pad-duk-.

It felt like the hand holding the shield would break.

pushed out of power

It simply wasn’t at that level.

“Bill the repair costs to Zeus.”

Yuwon’s voice came through the shield.

Ujikkeun-!

The Aigis that Yuwon’s fist stuck in crumples.

Kwaang-!

Athena’s body, along with her shield, fell to the floor.

I don’t remember anything from then on.

* * *

It didn’t take much time for Athena to come to her senses again.

Thirty minutes.

It took Athena, who had fallen down with the crumpled Aegis, to come to her senses.

“Are you awake?”

under the shade of a tree.

Athena slowly opened her eyes and found the worried faces of her subordinates looking down at her.

Athena wakes up with a slightly dazed expression.

As she looked around to understand the situation, the subordinate holding the crumpled Aegis opened his mouth.

“I was worried. “You suddenly lost consciousness.”

“Did I lose?”

“yes. Unfortunately…”

Athena shook her head at the subordinate’s added regret.

“Is there anything to regret? There is such a difference in skill.”

The last moment.

The power of the giant transformation and thunderbolt in Yuwon’s hand was at a level that Athena could not handle. Just

looking at the Aegis crumpled right in front of her eyes.

In terms of defense, one of the items in the tower was crushed at once.

If Yuwon If he hadn’t lost his strength at the end, he wouldn’t have ended up simply fainting

.

Until now, Athena has fought many powerful people.

Among them, there was Poseidon, who came to her to test the Aegis, and Gigantes, a giant.

They had one thing in common:

petrification itself did not work in the first place.

Nevertheless, Yuwon did not bother with petrification. I didn’t resist.

It was because I was confident that I could break free even if I was petrified. That’s right

…

Yuwon slowly approached Athena. He

bent one knee and locked eyes with Athena, who was resting on the floor. He looked back at the crumpled Aegis. I asked,

“Can you move right away?”

“…Thank you.”

Athena bowed her head,

“Thank you for your consideration.”

“Oh, Athena?”

“How-.”

The surrounding warriors were startled by Athena’s changed reaction.

Athena bowing her head politely with an honorific title.

There were only two people in Olympus who showed her like this.

Hades.

And Zeus.

Athena is now telling Yuwon about them. “She is acting like a human being.

Despite the fuss from her subordinates, Athena stood up from her seat and greeted Yuwon politely.

Now that the confirmation was over, she had no choice but to treat Yuwon differently from the beginning.

” “I’m going anyway, but my attitude needs to change.”

Yuwon said from the beginning that he had business to attend to Olympus.

However, he took issue with Athena’s attitude toward him. He

did not seem like a person who particularly cared about formality or ostentation.

Nevertheless, Yuwon mentioned ‘attitude’ to Athena. He showed off his skills.

In the first place, he was not someone who would be treated so rudely.

“The king invited you to Olympus.”

Unlike the first time, he looked polite.

“Would you like to accept the invitation?”

Athena handed Yuwon an invitation to Olympus.
