Leveling with the Gods - Chapter 274

Chapter 274
C274

BANG-!

Feeling the presence of Gungnir, Surt began to move.

It was impossible for anyone other than Odin to wield Gungnir.

Due to that brief doubt, his movement was delayed for a moment.

But…

“Hercules.”

Even if he was late, a little more time was needed for the ignition and launch of Gungnir.

And it was for this reason…

“Please hold on a little longer.”

“Hurry up.”

Kujik-!

Hercules planted his feet firmly on the ground.

“I may not last much longer.”

Kwang!

Hercules blocked Surtr rushing towards him.

After the attack was blocked, Surtr staggered for a moment and looked at Hercules with red eyes.

“This guy…”

“You shouldn’t show me your back.”

Crackle!

Odin appeared behind Surtr.

With Arcane Power of electric attribute in his hands.

“I was careless.”

Crunch!

The blue lightning pierced Surtr’s body. Blood dripped from his chest, and his body trembled.

There was no time to look back.

Odin was also Odin, but now there was a bigger problem in front of him.

“Hand it over!”

Gungnir was supposed to be an item that only Odin could use. But that item was functioning in front of him.

Surtr didn’t know why. But he couldn’t let his guard down just because he couldn’t understand it.

YuWon, in front of him, was someone who had stolen his Fire, someone who had done the impossible.

“It was mine, it was mine!”

Gungnir.

An item Odin obtained in his hands after passing the Administrator’s trial right after the foundation of Asgard.

Surtr had always thought that Gungnir was his ever since Odin first obtained it.

“So…”

Surtr reached out his hand towards YuWon.

“Let it go!”

Thud-.

Surtr lowered his gaze in the face of the strength that held his body firmly.

Hercules.

The man who had stopped him once was standing in front of him, holding his legs to the ground.

“Stop Surtr.”

Hercules knew exactly what his role was.

A strength that could match Surtr.

That was his greatest advantage.

“That’s all I need to do.”

Crash, crash.

Zzzz.

Gungnir fed on YuWon’s Arcane Power, amplifying it. Soon, the growing strength became too much to bear, and YuWon quickly assumed a throwing posture.

Tremble-.

Just assuming a throwing posture made his body tremble.

For YuWon in his current state, Gungnir was a difficult item to handle.

“Originally, it was Odin’s position.”

Creak~

Some faces appeared in his mind at this moment.

“Damn bastards.”

“It may not be enough with just one strike.”

Odin’s statement caused the conference room to panic.

“Will not even Gungnir stop him?”

“Then what can we do?”

The discussion continued.

Or rather, it was about to continue.

“There is no other way.”

Until Odin quickly interrupted everyone’s discussions like a knife.

“Gungnir is the best way. To cut off the breath of that tough guy, Surt, we need to use Gungnir.”

“Even with you there?”

“I would probably be there at that moment.”

When Son OhGong shrugged and spoke, Odin raised his head.

“Winning is one thing, losing is another. If we encounter Surt, the Sons of Muspel will be set in motion, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the fight with him lasts for days and days.”

“…true.”

“If it’s Surt…”

Surt had a monstrous vitality, as evidenced by the fact that the battle between Odin and Surt was never resolved.

Perhaps during that time, the Sons of Muspel would paint the Tower red.

“Therefore, we must use Gungnir. That is the fastest and safest way to cut off his breath.”

“Weren’t you talking about what if Gungnir didn’t work?”

“Well, if it’s just one shot.”

If one shot doesn’t work, you can throw two.

But Gungnir could only be thrown once a day.

Furthermore, if that single shot failed, there wouldn’t be enough time to ignite it and throw it again.

“So in that case, you have to throw it yourself.”

Pashit, Pashiji-.

Fwaaaah-.

The spear, infused with the Arcane Power of the Heart of Fire, expelled fire.

Suddenly, the Arcane Power of Gungnir itself surged, and YuWon was caught in it.

Crack, crack-.

He was already at a critical level for his body.

Now, it was truly time to throw Gungnir.

Woooooosh-.

The spear left his fingers.

Waaah-!

YuWon checked the direction in which the spear went.

“It hit.”

With a sense of relief, his consciousness began to slowly drift away.

And at that moment…

Zzzzang-.

A blue barrier created by Odin covered YuWon’s body.

Waaaah-!

Gungnir, released from his hand, turned into an even larger fire than Surt and pierced through his body.

———————

“They’re giants!”

“The giants have arrived!”

Asgard.

The guild and the wealthiest, most prosperous nation in the Tower.

There, finally, the disaster that was destined to come arrived.

Thump-.

The burning giants crossed the walls of Asgard.

The demonic giants tore down the walls with their hands and began turning their city into a sea of fire.

“Prepare for defense!”

“And the Rankers? Where are the Rankers?”

The chaos didn’t last long.

The Giants that had been breaching the walls hesitated.

And at that moment…

It happened in several similar places.

“The giants have stopped!”

The cry of a Valkyrie made Brunhilde turn her head.

The multitude of giants approaching from afar.

They faltered.

There can only be one reason to think of it.

“Surt… died?”

The Sons of Muspel followed Surt as their father and as a god. The demonic giants were beings capable of sacrificing their lives as cannon fodder if it was an order from him.

“Did my father do it?”

Thor also felt something strange.

He applied pressure with one hand on his solar plexus and muttered as if something was wrong.

“So fast?”

In the days when he hadn’t become a Ranker yet, Odin and Surt had fought for a long time in Asgard.

A fight without a decisive outcome. He remembered that fight so vividly in his head that he still trembled if someone mentioned Surt.

But how did they bring him down so quickly?

He couldn’t imagine what had happened.

Kwang!

Zeus’ lightning bolt struck the battlefield again.

The angels of the heavens burned as they couldn’t defeat this one man. As if it wasn’t tough enough, reinforcements arrived.

“Is that… the Bull Demon King?”

Gugu-gugu-.

In the distance, a red wave approached from another direction, along with the giants.

Rankers and Players from the Bull Demon King’s Guild had arrived.

“Fortunately, it ended quickly.”

A chaotic battlefield.

Fortunately, Zeus’ intervention allowed the Golden Castle to end the fight early.

Now all that was left was to clean up the battlefield.

—————–

Sigh-.

It was like waking up early, even before he opened his eyes, he could feel it in his confused mind.

“You’ve woken up early,” a familiar voice said.

His blurry vision slowly cleared up. Odin was standing in front of him, looking down. He was still lying down, feeling the weight of exhaustion in his body.

“Stay lying down a little longer. If you wait a couple more hours, your body will recover,” he said.

“But how long have I been lying down?” YuWon asked, frowning as he propped himself up on the ground. He tried to get up, but his body didn’t respond.

Odin simply clicked his tongue at witnessing this. “You’re stubborn.”

Ung-.

Then, a blue power barrier enveloped him, healing YuWon’s wounds and restoring his energy. Despite his injuries being quite deep, he recovered at an impressive speed.

“Good job.”

“Yes. Hercules and I did all the hard work.”

“I didn’t ask you to do that.”

“Then what about Hercules?”

At that question, Odin realized why he woke up so early.

Tilting his head, Odin pointed to the side. Behind him, a mass of muscles lay inert on the ground.

“Has he woken up already?”

Hercules managed to cling to Surt, and together they were dragged by Gungnir. Although he didn’t receive a direct blow like Surt did, the damage was by no means small.

“Don’t worry. He’s in better shape than you.”

“But why?”

“Your condition was so disastrous that I healed you first. That guy can probably recover on his own.”

Looking at Hercules, Odin shook his head in disgust.

“That guy is a monster.”

Hercules was strong, Odin knew that.

And if anyone knew it better, it was YuWon. That’s why he asked for Hercules’ help in the end, probably why it hurt his heart a little.

“How long has it been since I saw that guy go all out like that?”

There was a reason Hercules was known for having the strongest body in the tower. His endurance had steadily increased to the point where no one could compete with him. Even Son OhGong would have a hard time hurting him unless he put all his power into it.

“So Surt is…”

If Hercules was in such a bad state without being hit by Gungnir itself, what had happened to Surt?

He didn’t need to hear the answer to that question.

Turning his head, YuWon spotted a giant towering in the sky like a mountain.

A giant with a huge hole in his chest, motionless.

“He’s dead.”

At Odin’s confirmation, the power in YuWon’s body surged and receded once more.

He felt relieved to see that he really wasn’t going to move.

“Has it all ended here…?”

“If this is ‘here,’ is there something beyond it?” Odin casually asked, and YuWon nodded his head as he lay sprawled on the ground.

“Yes, there is.”

“What exactly happened in the place where you were?”

“Later. I’m a little tired now.”

It was better for people not to know too much about what had happened outside the tower, especially if they were in the presence of someone like Odin, who listened and saw everything.

Anyway, he was grateful. They had successfully overcome Ragnarok, which had been a major crisis.

“The next event will probably be Armageddon.” (Note: Wow, war after war in this novel)

YuWon shook his head at the immediate thought.

It was pointless thinking about it for now. The aftermath of Ragnarok would have its toll on Foolish Chaos, and there was still a long time until Armageddon.

“For now…”

The tension he had been feeling gradually dissipated, and sleep began to invade him.

He couldn’t remember the last time he had slept so soundly since Ragnarok began.

“Let’s rest a little.”

******

The war between Muspelheim and Asgard. The battle between the Heavens and the Demons. The intervention of the Dragons. Each of these events was news that shook the Tower.

“Hurry up and put out a bulletin, Surt is dead, deader than dead, super dead, mega dead, right now!”

“What about the battle between the Demon Kings and the Heavens?”

“Do you think I know everything?! Ask someone else and publish it as quickly as possible!”

“What will be the title of the article?”

“Michael injured! Did the Great Celestial War erupt? The Tower is dyed in blood. How does that sound?”

“Fine, publish it!”

“Zeus has also been released. It seems his whereabouts are unknown…”

“Is the investigation important now? Are you an investigative team? Publish the article first!”

The reports from the Tower were insufficient even after working through the night.

This conflict between Muspelheim and Asgard was a major event, involving not only large guilds but also races like dragons, demons, giants, humans, and various others.

Continuous news reports.

During the process, a reporter obtained another story.

“Team leader, what do you think of this?”

“What is this?”

The team leader quickly scanned the article and nodded.

“Publish it for now.”

A news too insignificant compared to other news.

Or rather, an unbelievable story that no one would take seriously.

[Kim YuWon managed to throw the Gungnir, Will His Ranking Rise?]

In times when major events were happening, it was natural for smaller news to be overlooked.

But at this moment, any news related to this event could turn into money.

“Let’s publish everything and see what happens.”
