Leveling with the Gods

Chapter 509

* * *

Sasin-su finally gave in.

The existence of Jecheondaeseong, not an alter ego, was not insufficient to erase a giant guild as a whole.

“Ha, ha, ha… Why didn’t you tell me beforehand?”

“I know. With that much sincerity, we would have pretended we didn’t win.”

Baekho. And Blue Dragon.

Two high-rankers approached Son Oh Gong’s side and smiled awkwardly.

Son Oh Gong sighed at the pathetic look.

“Are there only fools in death?”

“…….”

The dead who are speechless.

Son Oh Gong scratched his head annoyingly.

If you have a temper, just.

With that thought Son Oh Gong climbed into the near-dark.

‘On the line of annoyance.’

“Never kill anyone.”

YuWon’s warning was not just a tilt.

In the future, Son Oh Gong went around the guild, refusing to cooperate, and used force quite strongly against the disobedient guild.

Guilds who never moved after all. Those who cowardly hide behind other guilds, who plan their own safety with the blood of others.

Son Oh Gong didn’t just let those guys go.

but

“The fight has just begun. Keep that in mind.”

YuWon’s biggest warning was this.

Top rankers, players, and residents. Guilds that didn’t move until more than half of all races flew away.

But now, the fight against Outer has just begun.

Son Oh Gong knew that much, too.

It was just a fever.

“It’s just that I’m…….”

fierce burning eyes

The dead men who met eyes trembled.

Son Oh Gong, who rode a nearsighted cloud, began to move. Looking down, the injured rankers were waking up one by one.

Still, no guild members were killed by the riots.

“Well…….”

Son Oh Gong smacked his lips as he started moving to the next location.

In the past, he used to make a fuss out of anger, but it was also not fun to use proper words or demonstrate force.

Furthermore, there was a more interesting side, so I had to add to the disappointment.

“I should have followed you.”

* * *

Tadak, tadada-.

Hercules broke a thin tree into a burning fire.

Every breath was exhaled. I thought I couldn’t feel the cold anymore after I became a ranker, but I guess it was an illusion.

“It’s chilly.”

“…It’s cold.”

Pandora had borrowed the clothes of the Four Spirits from YuWon.

It was cold outside of minus a few degrees Celsius.

The outside of the tower became cold enough to freeze bones and souls beyond the skin at night, and the atmosphere became hot like hell during the day.

Even Pandora can’t stand the cold.

It was a really strange place.

“So don’t follow me.”

YuWon sighed as if he knew it.

a deep white breath YuWon, shaking his head, heated the coffee dust from the inventory in water.

“Drink. You’ll feel better.”

“Thank you.”

“No, not you.”

Instead of just serving, YuWon put coffee in Pandora’s hand.

The awkward appearance of Hercules made YuWon another cup of coffee. The glass seemed to be a miniature as it was held in Hercules’ hands.

“I think we’re here. I can’t see anything.”

Hercules, who poured all his coffee in one bite, looked forward.

An empty desert with nothing in sight. Unlike the interior of the tower, civilization did not exist here.

“One of the two.”

“Two?”

“You either ran away, or you’re trying to fight it together somehow.”

I moved for more than a day, but I couldn’t see anything. They already knew they were coming.

It was understandable.

Sneak-.

YuWon looked up at the sky.

Unlike the purple sky that appeared in the tower, the sky here was very visible of stars.

I couldn’t just look at the star as beautiful as I knew it, but it was undeniable that it was beautiful.

Did he tell you?’

Sotos’ eyes were everywhere, inside and outside the tower.

I could tell by the feeling that he was watching himself. Then I understood that other guys were avoiding it in advance.

I’m gonna have to hurry.’

The break is probably the last time at this moment.

YuWon looked beyond the endless spread of desert.

“I used to walk a lot here. I’m sick of it.”

A long time ago, Azatos walked around this desert.

There was nothing else we could do in this world, just sand and sky. Sitting still or walking. There were only two options.

Hercules asked YuWon’s sentimental words.

“What kind of toss, when it was him?”

“Yeah.”

“Now?”

a moment’s hesitation

But the hesitation was really, really, “wait.”

“…… Kim YuWon.”

A nodding answer as if it were a resolution.

Hercules narrowed his eyes.

Did you think about it?

“No.”

“But why do you hesitate?”

“I don’t know why, but my answer is delayed. Of course, as if we had to think about it to reach a conclusion.”

YuWon was also uncomfortable.

Consciously, he kept thinking that he was Kim YuWon, but nevertheless, the intense name “Azatos,” which is located in his unconscious mind, did not disappear.

I’ve lived for years, and now I’m old and reflecting on myself.

“Anyway, I’m glad you’re the conclusion.”

“Really?”

Hercules looked at the blazing bonfire.

The fire was burning with YuWon’s magic. Hercules, who had been looking at the fire for a while without saying a word, opened his mouth.

“I was born and raised in Olympus.”

“……?”

“When I was young, I trained myself to become an excellent ranker and climbed to the top. The process was smooth, and I was eventually called a hero by participating in the Gitomacia.”

Hercules the hero.

He was ashamed to be called by that name.

Nevertheless, when he uttered the word hero out of his mouth, he meant it wasn’t just a whine.

“After the war, I did a tree. Strangely enough, the blood on my hand, which had not been erased by the waterfall, seemed to be removed from the tree.”

“That’s why you did the tree.”

“So I’ll be a carpenter.”

Hercules, who said so, looked as if he were a child.

“It was an old idea. Power is a trade, so perhaps the best carpenter in this tower.”

He was postulating after this fight.

Carpenter.

Hercules has already been a tree for a long time. From the end of Gigi-Tomakia until the name Hercules is forgotten. He added points to helping needy residents by collecting trees from the forest.

“What are you going to do?”

Hercules alternates YuWon and Pandora.

He asked about the dream of two people.

“Us?”

“Yeah, you guys want to do something, right? Especially….”

Hercules looked at YuWon and asked.

“You had your own world.”

The original world.

YuWon thought for a moment at that.

What kind of place was it? I had stayed a few years ago when I came to the past using a clockwork, but I couldn’t remember well.

The house, what did it look like?

“I forgot.”

Hercules looked puzzled at YuWon’s answer.

“Forget it?”

“I was an orphan. My first memory was neither my mother nor my father.”

an orphan child

YuWon was the most poked word in the chest.

It was colder than this cold to have to live alone in a tough world.

“I’ve aged since I lived in Eoyeongbu. I don’t remember the process very well. It’s been a while. It wasn’t a good memory.”

“…I was wondering why you weren’t talking about the old days.”

“There was nothing to say. It’s a special case where you get bullied or fight because you’re an orphan. Because it was one of the two.”

YuWon, who said so, shrugged.

“This is my hometown. Even if I can go back, I don’t want to go back.”

The original time in the world was 20 years at the most.

On the other hand, fighting with colleagues such as Son Oh Gong, Hercules and Odin was well more than dozens of times that.

It doesn’t matter where your hometown is now. YuWon’s world had already changed.

“When you’re done, what do you want to do?”

“It’s what I want to do…….”

YuWon’s words are blurred.

It was a question I had never thought of.

What do I want to do?

YuWon shook his head for a moment.

“Nothing.”

“Nothing? Really?”

“Yeah.”

Hercules looked disappointed at YuWon’s answer.

You don’t want to do anything.

YuWon’s answer was due to feeling very sorry.

by the way

“I want to do nothing the most.”

YuWon’s words were more sincere than any other answer.

“Enjoy your free time or sleep as much as you want. Without planning something, without moving around…….”

A thousand years after Gigi Tomakia.

Unlike Hercules, who was digging trees for lost purposes, YuWon spent most of his life running toward one goal.

To survive.

“We fought harder than anyone else for a long time. And after a long passage, I hope there will be nothing if possible.”

As I talked, my thoughts slowly got organized.

What you really want.

YuWon summed it up in one word.

“I just want to be a little bored.”

“I’m bored.….”

Hercules smiled without regret as soon as he found out YuWon really wanted it.

“It’s simple.”

“But it was so hard.”

“It’s hard, but it’s not far away.”

Hercules, smiling loudly as the desert left, soon looked back at Pandora, who had a determined look on her face.

From the look in his eyes, it seemed like a huge answer would come out just by slightly poking.

“Pandora, you-.”

“I’m getting married.”

“Gyeol…?”

wide eyes

Hercules looked back at YuWon at the thought of not being able to.

“With him?”

“Yes, with YuWon. I’ll do it.”

Hercules, who heard it, was enough to make my heart sink.

On the other hand, YuWon, the person who actually heard the story, seemed calm.

“You’ve just been confessed.”

“I know.”

“I’m not surprised.”

“I’m surprised enough. Not as much as you.”

“……Why am I more surprised?”

The party was YuWon. But what surprised me was Hercules.

YuWon seemed to have, to some extent, expected it to be.

Pandora.

She used to be mentioned with Tsukuyomi or Aphrodite if she discussed the best beauty in the tower.

But I was confessed by Pandora.

Speechless Hercules asked with a blank smile.

“What if he doesn’t take it?

“But I will.”

As if she didn’t like the question, Pandora murmured with a grumpy face.

“Unconditionally. Unconditionally.”

“Oh, my.”

Hercules scratched his head in disbelief at the answer.

“After a long passage, what? You said you didn’t want anything.….”

At the end of it was a truly tremendous thing waiting.

Tadak, tadak-.

The bonfire continued to burn.

YuWon did not answer Pandora’s confession. Pandora didn’t seem to have said it for an answer, but it was no different than usual.

Pandora blows and slowly drinks coffee.

YuWon, who is lost in thought, swirling the bonfire with a kindling.

Hercules thought.

I don’t know if those two will continue or not.….’

Looking up at the stars shining in the sky.

‘Please, I hope that day comes.’
