Leveling with the Gods

Chapter 160

* * *

Since the end of Gigi-Tomakia.

In fact, at a time of war, giants and humans promised one thing.

“Half a month, half a human being, and half a giant.”

“Don’t invade each other’s territory. I promise.”

The king of giants, Giantes.

Zeus, king of the Olympus.

Peace came to the 38th floor at the promise of the two men.

Gitomacia.

A thousand years after the great war that will go down in the history of the tower.

Now here, there was someone who hadn’t finished the war alone.

* * *

Goo Goo Goo Goo Goo Goo Goo Goo Goo Goo Goo.

The ground shakes, cracks up.

Around Hercules’ cottage, the lava-like heat boiled up.

The world has begun to open.

“Is it time already?”

Hercules looked back at YuWon as he watched the phenomenon calmly.

“You’ll regret not going back. This is a lot different from the other floors you know.”

The world on the 38th floor was known to spend half a month by humans and the other half by giants.

It’s a promise between beings living in this world.

And for giants, this forest was a dense area, like a ‘city’ for humans.

YuWon은 고개를 끄덕였다.

“걱정 마라.”

펄펄 끓어오르며, 검붉게 변하는 하늘을 올려다본다.

“후회할 일 없을 거니까.”

It’s only noisy on the outside, but this phenomenon is nothing more than a routine scene where the world’s owners change.

‘Compared to Gitomacia, well…….’

War many times as great as the first period as the Romans.

YuWon, who had just become a high ranker at the time, was involved in the war.

Compared to then, what is happening now was peaceful.

Of course, in Hercules’ eyes, YuWon was nothing more than a moth of fire, who didn’t know he was going to die.

“…I thought you were brave when you were ignorant.”

That’s right.

Hercules approached the cracked ground.

The opening day began, and now it was almost finished.

lava boiling in the ground

YuWon felt the heat and followed Hercules.

‘This heat and…’….’

The energy flowing out of the overturned ground was different from the normal mana.

It felt familiar.

Confused energy, mixed with mana and magi.

There was only one species of this kind of power in this tower.

Is it the territory of the demon giants?

Like this.

Sure enough.

Pointing at the cracked ground, a hand came up from the bottom of the cliff.

[Day 16 will begin.]

The “Giant and Human Promise” will be fulfilled.]

The owner of the world will be reversed.

[Increases the penalty of an unspecified species within the zone.]

The owners of the world are the giants.

No.

It wasn’t one.

Cack, cack, cack-.

Cooong-.

Big giants who began to climb one by one.

Each one was a group of perennials infested with lava instead of blood, with only black skin.

They were all different in size.

Some were relatively small, such as the brothers and sisters of Buard and the others as big as the mountains.

‘Not here.’

Just as many factions were divided among humans, there were degenerated people among giants.

A descendant of a giant who joined hands with the devil and became a demon through blood transfusion.

It was the land of giants and also the land of demons.

“Stay where you are.”

Sneak-.

Hercules picked up the trees he had planted on one side by side.

He moved it with one hand on the light as if he were swinging a small wooden stick.

“……if you don’t want to be swept away.”

Vroom-.

a slow-witted tree

Bite!

It hit something in the air.

At that moment.

Whoosh, whoosh.

Tu-ack!

The atmosphere cracked like glass and the shock from the tree burst the giant’s body like a balloon.

Whoosh.

The sky shakes with a single swing. Clouds burst and shattered, and the view of the world in view changed.

Hercules, holding a plain tree like that, wearing a lion’s skin over his head, was ready to fight.

It was the beginning of a giant slaughter.

* * *

Oh, my God!

Quadd, boom-!

The head of the giant who was hit by a tree exploded.

Stirring through dozens and hundreds of giants, Hercules alternately swung trees and fists.

Boom!

Swoosh, swoosh, whoosh!

When punched into the air, several giants flew away.

It wasn’t a special skill or a lot of horsepower.

It was nothing more than a spouting of physical strength, just as it was.

‘That’s creepy.’

Covered by the lion’s skin, his eyes were invisible.

YuWon, however, felt a sense of madness that Hercules had never felt before in fighting.

On the surface, it seemed to be fighting the same way.

However, even if it was the same behavior, it was different from the beginning.

“There must be a clear purpose in wielding weapons and fists.”

At least Hercules, now in front of him, was not like YuWon knew.

“A fight without purpose is nothing but murder.”

‘The purpose is…’

In wielding power, Hercules now had no purpose.

No.

Perhaps there is.

Maybe it’s the purpose of killing the other person.

Murder, a fight for its own purpose.

It was hard to believe Hercules was doing it, not even Susano.

Quack-!

The last remaining giant’s head was crushed.

Hercules would never stop wielding weapons, even though he knew he was dead.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom-!

The body of a mincing giant.

It’s a huge body like a small mountain, but it didn’t take much time to chop it up like a dough.

Perhaps because of his anger, Hercules did not let go of the weapon while his body was burning hot.

Pajik, Pajik-.

In the meantime, Hercules’ body had a significant amount of penalty.

It was a penalty that would make even some rankers disappear. That means that there were many of the opposing giants who had yet to become rankers.

Furthermore, for 15 days from now, Hercules, not a giant, will be given a greater penalty.

I need you to know that I’m strong.’

You need a solid body to give off a strong force.

Hercules was now wielding a weapon, ignoring all the penalties.

“Whoo-hoo.”

Hercules breathed out a long breath that he was holding back.

It wasn’t because I was tired or out of breath.

It was due to overly high emotions.

How long has it been?

Hercules, who organized all the giants around in just a few minutes, looked back at YuWon.

“It’ll be safe around here now.”

red-blooded eyes

“If you want to live, go somewhere safe or stay stuck in the house.”

That’s right.

Hercules, who once gave YuWon advice, soon began to move on.

Maybe, to kill another giant.

‘You’re out of your mind.’

I wanted to stop Hercules like that.

But now I don’t have the ability to do that. In order to stop Hercules, the main body of the planet must come in person.

Ever since Gitomacia, you’ve been living like this.

a giant slayer

The title was not just made in Gitomacia.

After the end of Gitomakia and the Olympus and Giant Armistice.

Hercules was continuing his war with the giants here.

Until the end of the second period, continued.

That’s right.

YuWon followed Hercules as he moved away.

Breaking Olympus was a second job.

YuWon could no longer watch Hercules break down.

So, the two fell down a lava-flowing cliff.

* * *

Furious.

Boom!

The lava flowing underground seemed to never be strange.

Beyond the heat, the heat that seemed to burn my whole body just standing still rose from underground.

Paji, support-.

Hercules walked under the ground and moved.

And after that.

“Are you going to keep up?”

YuWon followed.

“Yeah.”

“Why?”

“I have nowhere to go anyway. And I think it’ll be safest next to you.”

That it would be safe to stick tight.

Hercules also sympathized with the words. Of course, it was when things were no different from other times.

“…do you even know where I’m going?”

“I don’t know the destination, but I know what I’m going to do.”

“You know?”

“Why else would a giant killer be here? They’re going after the giant.”

“You know it well.”

Hercules, who nodded, spoke threateningly.

“I’m going for a gigantes.”

Gitigates.

It was referring to the three giants who represented the giants, just like the three gods of Olympus.

He wasn’t just venting at the giants, he was looking at the highest.

“Are you still going to follow me?”

Hercules was speaking by referring to Gitetes.

The place he’s going is a dangerous place.

I can’t protect you when the fight against Gitiles begins. So it’s safe to fall off at this point.

“He knows where I am.”

“You’re so stubborn……what?”

Hercules’ eyes opened wide.

For a moment, too, he strode toward YuWon and reached out.

Like this.

I felt a strong grip on the hand that held my shoulder.

With a little more strength, I felt as if my shoulders would be pulled out.

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

“How the hell?”

The three Githetes had been in hiding since Gitomacia. Hercules searched all over the tower for them for a long time, but he couldn’t find them.

All I know is that they’re on the 38th floor.

But YuWon knows that.

“Do you want me to show you around?”

YuWon looked at Hercules, who could not readily answer, and touched his arm holding his shoulder.

“Before that, let go of this hand. It’s going to break.”

“Oh…… I’m sorry.”

“Follow me if you want to know. Fortunately, it’s not that far away.”

When YuWon looked convinced, Hercules looked at his back for a moment.

If YuWon’s words are true, so if you really run into a gigantes…….

We may not be able to take responsibility for the safety of the party at that time.

After not a short time of thinking.

“You said you knew the way, didn’t you?”

Hercules reached out to YuWon.

Vroom-.

YuWon felt his body rise above gravity.

Hercules, who hurriedly put YuWon around his shoulder, looked around and asked.

“Which way?”

“Down.”

In response to YuWon’s answer, Hercules followed his gaze.

Boggle-.

a boiling red liquid

“In the lava? I’ve already been in there.”

I thought I was really crazy.

I’ve searched every inch of the tower, but I can’t believe I’ve already searched every corner of the lava.

“No.”

But that wasn’t enough.

Because where they were, it was deeper.

“It’s even lower than that.”
