Leveling with the Gods

Chapter 467

* * *

Furious.

What I saw when I left the blacksmith’s shop was a world that turned into a sea of fire.

Even Hephaestus, who was in the furnace just a moment ago, could feel hot.

Hephaestus, who came out with a knife in his hand, wrinkled his forehead.

“I don’t like the heat outside the blacksmith’s.”

How many rankers can describe the flame as “hot” that is hard to stand by?

He was burned all over his body, but Hephaestus didn’t care.

That’s right.

Fire-!

[Status abnormality: Burn rises to stage 4]

The third stage of burns was almost as if the skin was becoming ripe. Hephaestus didn’t care, although burns hurt more than cuts and tears.

Step 4.

It’s only four steps.

I was confident of holding out in the flames.

Of course.

“……This is a little difficult.”

If the only thing in the way is flame.

Wiggle-.

A giant purple snake winds around the blacksmith’s.

Is Yamatano Orochi, who was cut by Susano this big? No, maybe it’s bigger.

The snake, covered in purple scales, wrapped its entire blacksmith’s shop with its tail alone.

Squeeze, squish-.

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

It was a blacksmith’s shop that he was confident that he could withstand even the spark of a suit. However, focusing on immunity to one property naturally left the other lacking.

Cuzik-.

A smithy smithy that crumbles and breaks.

“Oh my.”

With a deep admiration, Hephaestus jumped up with strength in his legs.

I thought Hephaestus was moving away from the blacksmith’s…….

(sighs)(sighs)(sighs)(sighsighs!

Hephaestus’ blacksmith’s shop, which used to be a small castle, collapsed.

Hephaestus, who jumped up, caught the image in his eyes. Since the blacksmith who has shared his history collapsed, it was a lie if his stomach didn’t hurt.

but

Press.

Looking at the sword in his hand, Hephaestus was able to find some comfort.

‘Cause I wasn’t going to use it any more anyway.’

It’s been a long time since I decided not to see the Olympus.

For now, delivering this was the first thing.

‘Where’s that guy?’

The moment Hephaestus turned his head.

Whoosh!

A giant snake’s tail flew toward him.

‘There were two tails–‘

Whoosh!)

The snake’s tail hit Hephaestus. At the moment of the apocalypse, Hephaestus grabbed the sword in his hand more strongly, instead of avoiding or blocking the tail.

with the determination that we should not miss this one way or another.

Let’s do that.

The word ‘unfinished’ resists ‘a greedy snake crawling on the ground.][?(Incomplete)’ is not authorized to use.][“Incomplete” fails to resist.]

With a few messages, the pain of breaking bones all over the body rushed in.

Hephaestus flew away and fell to the ground in the same direction as he was hit by the tail. With several buildings broken and the ground turned upside down.

“Cough!”

Hephaestus threw up blood and grabbed his chest with his hands. I don’t know how many bones I broke.

Fortunately, the ritual didn’t fly away. Thinking how far he had flown, Hephaestus looked up at the snake that attacked him.

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

Quad-.

Every time the snake moved, the terrain of the city changed. Somehow, in the short time, he seemed to have grown bigger.

It’s a miracle to be alive.’

I can’t believe I’m alive after being beaten by a snake’s tail that’s

Apart from his ability as a blacksmith, Hephaestus’s force was not that great. How could Olympus have sent an ordinary ranker to catch Hephaestus?

On the other hand, that snake looked difficult to catch even with a few high rankers coming at it.

‘Is it because of this?’

Item that you made.

It’s still incomplete, but it worked. The item protected Hephaestus even though he did not intend to use it.

But that’s only a once-in-a-lifetime fluke.

It wasn’t something that could happen twice.

Cudded-.

Just in case, it was true.

The snake grew bigger and bigger as it approached Hephaestus.

“You said it was a greedy snake, just like that name.”

“Struggling.”

He stands up from his seat, holding the ground with his fist clenched with a sword.

Rather than thinking about running away, I first heard about how to pass the sword through there.

But it seemed impossible no matter how much I looked at it.

Sizzle-.

Boom.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Giant purple waves and tentacles run wild over the ground. Under the purple sky, another Outer continued to flood, and the sea of fire spread wider and wider.

It’s like standing in the middle of the end of the world.

Will he be able to reach YuWon through that?

It wasn’t something I could do with effort.

“Was this my grave?”

There was no fear.

I’ve lived too long to be afraid of dying.

I had no regrets.

I was able to make the best masterpiece of my life.

However, there was regret.

“It’s only when you meet your owner that the tool is completed.’

It’s a shame that he couldn’t see his child meet his owner, and that he couldn’t complete it perfectly yet.

Qooo-.

The snake’s head covered the sky.

Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

The long tongue flips and makes a subtle sound.

His eyes, which shone smoothly like a jewel, reflected like a mirror.

No.

I thought you were looking at me.

Now I get it.

What’s their purpose?

Press.

Hold the incomplete child tightly in your hand.

And in another hand was his weapon and another heart.

‘I don’t want to ruin the child I created.’

Hammering reserved for finishing.

I thought I’d use it to destroy it, on the other way around.

I’m sorry.

Put the best masterpiece on the ground. The support was weak because there was no anvil, but it didn’t matter.

[…?’ is still incomplete]

Are you sure you want to destroy the ??]

He always had the skills to destroy unfinished weapons.

Sneak-.

Hephaestus’ hammer headed up.

Shhhhhhhhhhh.

The snake’s tail obscured Hephaestus’ sky. They moved to take the sword away from Hephaestus.

And not to give it away, the moment Hephaestus hits the hammer.

Flashing!

A golden lightning bolt fell from the snake’s sky like rain.

Whoosh!

Boom, boom, Kugugung-!

The snake, which was making a sly sound, screamed. He twisted his long body as if it had been burned and complained of pain with his whole body.

Hephaestus, who managed to stop the hammer, looked up at the sky.

A wave of golden mana engulfing the purple sky.

As far as he knew, there was only one man in this tower who had this kind of power.

“Father…”

“Did you call me?”

His head turned to the place where his voice came from.

Zeus, dressed in a golden armor that looked just like his hair, stood there. Hephaestus’ body was stiff at the thought of how long it had been since the father and son met.

You’ve changed a lot.’

His face, which had never grown a beard before, had dark fur. Furthermore, his dignity grew, and his eyes still saw him as a blacksmith, not a son.

A long time ago.

I remembered the time when he limped with one kick when he was beaten by the declaration that he would no longer build weapons.

No, no, no.

He was not nervous even before his death.

Strangely, however, my body trembled from the moment I faced Zeus.

Zeus was more afraid than death for him.

Even at this moment, thunderstorms were falling from the sky.

Still great.

No, it was more of a monster than before.

“Are you going to keep shaking?”

“Oh, no.”

“You still don’t want to fight and give up.”

Sneak-.

Zeus, who had been looking at Hephaestus for a while, passed by him.

“I saved your life, so give it to him. It seems important.”

It’s still an indifferent tone of voice.

Maybe that’s why.

The tremor stopped at his unchanged tone. I thought I’d break another leg or an arm holding a hammer if I met him again.

That’s right.

Zeus walked away. The fight was on your own, and you reacted as if you were to deliver a sword.

Hephaestus looked at Zeus like that.

Is it because of the beard on his face? Or is there another reason?

Apparently, he was much stronger than he remembered, but somehow his back looked small.

* * *

In the middle of the burning flames.

The pillar of the flame shook, giving a confused response.

As if you don’t understand.

The spark of the tool car reacted.

“What are you talking about, man?”

Fire-!

rough resistance

“I’m no one’s dancer. Don’t you dare you!

“Did you forget to dance for me?”

-“Nonsense-.”

And at that moment.

Someone’s name and face came to mind in Tulcha’s

Shub Niguras.

A great, noble, ruler of the black forest.

“”……No way.”

Numerous beings were saddened and angry at her death.

Tulcha was not much different either. But if her death is from what she thinks it is, the story is completely different.

“Do you remember?”

That was the wrong question.

I’ve never forgotten about Tulcha.

He wasn’t such a splendid flame from the start.

“You were my toy. Dancing for me and giving me joy. It was my martial arts.”

YuWon reached for the pillar of the flame.

Like this.

Something gets caught in my hand. A small and hot thing with no limitations.

“It was a name I gave to soothe my boredom. Your fireworks were definitely fun to see.”

Tulcha was convinced.

It wasn’t just a human being in front of me.

It was a story that only two people, both inside and outside the tower, knew with themselves.

“You were my dancer, my toy.”

Whaaaaaaah!

The purple flame that covered the world gathered in YuWon’s hands.

“And yet, you had the cheek to covet my name.”

[You have obtained the name of “Dancing Muhee with Fireworks”]

The power of the name has passed.

YuWon looked at the ‘toolcha’, which was so extracted from the pillar of flame.

“Your real name is Tulcha. It was just a little spark that appeared before me one day.”

Hwar-.

A small flame like a firefly burning in the palm of the hand.

This was the image of Tulcha whose name was taken away.

YuWon clutches his hand like that.

Crunch.

The little flame disappeared so weakly.

“I’m sorry that the name I’m looking for again is the name of something as shallow as yours…….”

Hwalalak-.

Puths-.

The flames that covered the sky and the earth disappeared, and the scenery outside was visible.

A world of thunder and lightning. Countless Outers cast beneath the purple sky.

Tulcha was just the beginning.

And looking at the battlefield, YuWon smiled happily.

“Fortunately, the name is in the sky.”
