Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 580
[Level Up with the Gods Side Story Episode 56]
* * *
3000 years ago.
Bayou, who had just become a player, walked the streets wounded and half-naked.
There were always wildcats targeting new players entering the tower.
“Damn bastards…”
He slumped.
Finally, Bayu sat down.
The wound on his stomach was getting wider
and wider. He had to quickly stop the bleeding, apply medicine, and treat the wound for a long time.
But.
“It’s over there!”
“He ran away that way!”
“Don’t miss it!”
The existing players, who had taken everything from Bayou as if they were determined not to leave any regrets, pursued him tenaciously.
“Shit, shit, shit!”
It was impossible to escape with a body like this. I
was so overcome by evil that I could only move my legs using my mental strength. It
was unfair.
How did I survive ?
How did I get through that hellish tutorial?
‘Why is the building… shaking? …’
Vision blurred.
Bayou’s eyes lost focus as she sank down in her seat.
The footsteps of her pursuers were getting closer and closer.
There was no hope anymore.
And then.
“Isn’t it too early to give up yet?”
Suddenly…
someone appeared in my blurred vision, and when I touched his hand, I felt something warm.
Just like that, the man appeared in front of Vayu.
Vishnu smiled kindly and covered Vayu’s eyes.
“After a good night’s sleep, everything will be better.”
That day.
That’s how Vayu was saved by Vishnu.
* * *
Shoot aaaaa-.
A bloody murderous atmosphere covered the hall.
Countless eyes were turned towards Vayu.
Each and every one of them was hardly stronger than Vayu, but there were too many of them.
” “Everyone, please calm down. It’s suffocating.”
“Bayu-!”
“What kind of face do you think you are!”
His colleagues were screaming.
As if he knew that would happen, Bayou took out a fan from inside his arms and swung it around.
Puhwaaa!
A fierce wind blew.
But it didn’t contain any air of life, and it wasn’t even a wind that was threatening to the rankers gathered here. No.
The meaning of the wind was clear.
It meant to be quiet.
“If you have brains, try thinking, you idiots.”
Bayu clicked his tongue.
His words were like pouring fuel on a fire that had been hastily quelled.
“What…?”
“fool?”
“Have you said everything now? Bayou!”
The Daeva rankers were furious again.
But like the first time, no one made a hasty move.
They were all seasoned rankers.
The fact that Vayu, the current public enemy of the Daevas, appeared here obviously meant that he had something to say.
“Yes. “You guys are idiots.”
Vayu spoke assertively.
At that moment, his gaze was directed to where Yama and Varuna were.
“Think about it. What you have to do now to survive.”
“Are you saying I have to betray Daeva and join the administrators?”
Hanuman cried out in anger.
He walked towards Vayu.
The tree Hanuman was standing on began to dry out and his anger was expressed.
Vayu seemed to have anticipated this situation and remained calm.
“It is not betrayal.”
“What nonsense?”
“After all, weren’t we all just united around Lord Vishnu? What does it mean that we are united under the name of Deva now that Lord Vishnu has passed away?”
Hanuman, as if he could no longer listen, waved his arms wildly and shouted,
“That is betrayal, Vayu!”
Shoot.
Sand rose from the withered tree. A pile of
sand wrapped around Vayu. Hanuman, who had raised his magical power, had a blood clot in his neck.
“Lord Vishnu died at the hands of administrators! But how could such administrators Attached to-!”
At that moment.
Damn it.
The sand that was covering the bayu froze.
The sand was tightly bound together. And the magic of a familiar nature opposed to Hanuman.
“Shut up, Hanuman. Listen to me.”
Hanuman looked at the woman who blocked him,
“Soma…?”
“Bayu is talking, right?”
She stood in front of Bayu.
It wasn’t just her alone. Her
colleagues who hesitated.
No, people she thought were colleagues.
“It wasn’t just Bayu and Sur.”
Goo goo goo…
The tree shook with Hanuman’s anger.
He was a high ranker of the Devas. Although his ranking was lower than Vayu, he had the power of dozens of most rankers. However,
he did not move hastily.
No, he could not.
Because it was impossible to judge from what point the Daeva had rotted to what extent, he said,
“Okay, I’ll listen. Just tell me what to say.”
“Thank you Hanuman.”
I wanted to put my fist right in that smiling face. But
I couldn’t.
Because I knew that I wasn’t in a position to do anything on my own.
There was only one person who could turn this situation around.
A glance –
Hanuman . The gaze turned to Yama, who was quietly observing the situation.
‘Why aren’t you moving, Yama?’
Now that Vishnu was gone, he had unrivaled skills among the Deva rankers. He was
a high ranker with a double-digit ranking.
With his strength, he was able to deal with not only Vayu and Soma, but also about ten high rankers at the same time.
Above all, he was more sincere towards Vishnu than anyone else Hanuman knew.
Yama, who had lived as Vishnu’s shadow all his life,
thought that he would definitely explode with anger with the appearance of Vayu.
‘By any chance, Yama, you too?’
I thought it might not be possible, but I couldn’t judge it.
Who would have thought that a deva would end up in this situation in the first place? I felt
like my head was pounding.
Everyone I thought of as a friend might actually be an enemy.
While Hanuman was silent, B. Yu continued,
“Lord Vishnu is not coming back. We have to make a choice: whether to live or not.”
“Don’t you think you might be able to win a fight with the manager?”
“Do you think it’s possible?”
In response to someone’s question, Vayu sneered and said,
“It might have been like that ten years ago. But King Odin is dead, and so is Lord Vishnu. Many other rankers have lost their lives.”
“No chance of winning?”
“Yes. And even more so now. Several rankers, including me, have been assigned to the administrators.”
“You dare say cowardly things, Bayu.”
At Hanuman’s growling words, Vayu turned to him and said,
“I can’t help it, Hanuman. I’m sorry to Vishnu, but I have to live a little longer.”
“How can I receive the grace I received from Lord Vishnu?”
“Vishnu Vishnu Vishnu-!”
Hwaaaa!
At Bayu’s shout, a sharp wind swirled around him.
A wind full of murder.
Bayu’s eyes rolled back, he waved his hands and shouted,
“How long do I have to be tied down to something like that? You saved my life once or twice. “Where does life belong to Vishnu?”
Vayu turned his eyes away from Hanuman and looked at Varuna.
Varuna was surprised to see a murderous face that was completely different from the Vayu he used to know. He took a step back.
“Think about it carefully.”
Gooooo-.
And at that moment.
“I thought about who is here right now.”
Up in the sky.
Above the sky where the clouds had cleared.
Karrrrrrrr-.
Karrrrr-.
A familiar sound of laughter was heard from above.
Numerous clowns, numbering in the thousands.
“Errand boy…?”
Floating in the sky, messengers were looking down at the Daeva rankers.
There were numbers that big above their heads, so why had they not noticed them until now?
‘No way…’
“Shall I guess what you’re thinking?”
Seeing Hanuman’s anxious expression, Vayu said clearly, as if taking a quiz,
“Is the manager here too?”
Gooooo…
As if answering those words, the magic power weighs down the bodies of the Deva rankers.
“That’s the correct answer, Hanuman.”
It was a creepy feeling. No, it was more than that.
Fear and awe engraved in his instincts.
Hanuman broke into a cold sweat as he held on to his weak spirit that was about to kneel.
‘Is this… Manager…?’
Hanuman, who had taken the lead in directly contradicting Vayu’s words, was discouraged.
Seeing not only the thousands of messengers but also the sight of a woman appearing among them, Hanuman could do nothing. Fight. An opponent he could not even imagine
doing
. It has now appeared before my eyes.
‘Damn.’
Ouch!
Hanuman hit his trembling leg with his fist.
He barely came to his senses due to the dizzying pain.
Even though the manager had appeared, he was not angry at seeing Vishnu’s enemy in front of him, but instead trembled with fear. This
should not have happened. “ Everyone,
think carefully.”
He, who had now become the administrator’s spokesperson instead of the Deva’s Vayu, looked around:
“Should I entrust my life to Vishnu, who was already dead? Or should I survive?”
“….”
“….”
There was silence in the room.
Complex thoughts appeared on their faces.
Everyone looked at each other.
Some of them had confident expressions as if they had made some decisions. .
Confused, Hanuman looked around.
‘What are you all doing?’
No matter how much of a threat it is to risk one’s life,
“Are you guys really going to fall for that bullshit?”
It was strange.
No matter how precious their lives were, many people were swayed too easily. They
had overcome the hurdle of life and death to become rankers, and among them, the top rankers of devas.
“I’m sorry, Hanuman.”
That’s it.
At that time, the person who made the first decision appeared.
“Understand. This is our decision.”
Soma.
She approached Vayu’s side and told him whose side she was on.
And that was the beginning.
Chuck, chuck, chuck…
The rankers of Devas gathered around Vayu.
Hanuman looked at them moving as if they had made a promise. I thought about what Soma said.
“‘Us’…?”
At her words, which seemed as if she had anticipated this situation, Hanuman realized the true nature of the strange sense of discomfort he had been feeling before.
”
These scum-like things…”
Those who had been overlooked before coming here.
Daeva has been rotting and rotting for a long time.
And others too.
“I don’t think there’s any way to do this.”
“Now that even the administrator has stepped forward….”
“Either die or keep your beliefs. Either one.”
Now it was time to make a choice.
Whether to die or not.
“Yama! “Say something!”
Hanuman looked back at Yama.
He was more loyal to Vishnu than anyone else.
I was wondering if he would be at least a little angry about this situation.
but.
“…llama?”
Yama still had no reaction.
He stood still with his eyes closed and his arms crossed.
Holding your breath as if you were thinking about something.
‘Is it true that even you?’
Now I can no longer trust anyone who I thought were my colleagues.
There was nothing strange about Yama betraying a deva.
Perhaps even Varuna, who created this place.
“Whoa-.”
Yama raised his head.
Above the sky where errand boys laugh and chat.
Yama gritted his teeth as he faced the manager’s gaze looking down at them.
And then.
Jeopuk-.
Another person starting to move.
“…It was difficult to endure.”
When he moved, Yama finally relaxed his arms and opened his eyes.
“Can we move now?”
“okay.”
Hwareuk-.
With his eyes burning red, Yuwon approached Bayou.
“I don’t have to endure it anymore.”
