Leveling with the Gods

Chapter 379

C379

Kwaang!

Satan's fingertips flew towards Zeus's neck.

His outstretched wings cut through the trees in their path.

A black line reflected in Zeus's eyes.

Pum!

In an instant, Satan's hand pierced through Zeus's neck.

At that moment.

Crackle~

Zeus's body, impaled by Satan's hand, transformed into a brilliant golden discharge.

Craaaackle!

"Kaaaa!"

Zeus's body exploded as Satan, caught in the discharge, screamed.

At the same time, Zeus disappeared. Satan, enduring the pain, raised his bright eyes.

When Satan lifted his head...

"You're quick to catch on."

Crack, craack!

In the sky just about 20 meters away...

Riding a small cloud, Zeus was seen holding a Lightning Bolt in his hand.

Pahat!

The reaction was swift.

Satan endured the shock coursing through his body and leaped upward in his place.

Given the short distance, it wouldn't be long before he got close enough.

Satan trusted in his own body.

He believed he could withstand the electric spear in Zeus's hand and get close to him.

Flash~

Light erupted from Satan's sight.

Intensifying his focus and keeping his gaze on the tip of the spear, Satan's wings moved.

Kwung!

The Lightning Bolt Zeus had thrown at Satan fell to the side.

Satan dodged it.

The corner of Satan's lips curled upward. He had dodged the spear, now it was his turn.

He had to do it.

But at that moment...

"You successfully dodged one."

Crack, craackle!

In Satan's pupils, which had leaped upward, the light of dozens of Lightning Bolts flickered.

He had clearly dodged one, but there were still more than a dozen Ligthning Bolts remaining.

"So try to dodge the rest as well."

Craaaackle!

Zeus's hand descended slowly and calmly.

Satan's steps quickened. If at least one of those Lightning Bolts hit him, he would fall again and receive a series of Lightning Bolts one after another.

Crack, craaccckle!

Satan's wings moved rapidly. To avoid the Lightning Bolts falling from the sky, Satan moved desperately.

One, two, three.

When he dodged more than ten Lightning Bolts, one of them finally tore through Satan's wings.

Crackle!

The hole in his wing made him stagger for a moment, but Satan remained unaffected.

His agility and endurance. Those two qualities were his best weapons. So Satan avoided the Lightning Bolts falling from the sky and finally reached where Zeus was.

"Ze-us-!"

The last remaining Lightning Bolt passed in front of Satan's eyes.

The moment Satan's hand turned into five scythes to attack Zeus...

"Did you think you could win just by getting close?"

As if he were waiting for that, Zeus raised his fist charged with electricity.

"You don't know your own limits."

Kwung!

Zeus's fist crashed down on Satan's head.

Like a giant Lightning Bolt falling from the sky.

Satan was engulfed by the discharge without even being able to scream.

At the same time, Zeus disappeared. Satan, caught in the pain, fell deep underground.

And thus, returning to the sky above the clouds...

"Rise back up."

Zeus looked down at the hole where Satan had fallen.

There, Satan, who had been struck by the fist and had fallen to the ground, looked up with flickering black eyes.

------------

-Beeeeee-.

The Black Woods Goat emitted a bleat.

The power struggle with Odin was also brief.

Kagagak-.

Odin's legs began to retreat.

The fight didn't last long. Although Odin intended to somehow push him outside and make him return to the Outside, he lacked the strength.

Thud~

Odin looked at his legs, which were retreating further and further, wondering how much strength he had exerted. Blood flowed to his head, and red blood mixed with his beard flowed from his nose.

"...I need to change my strategy."

Kwaahak-.

Odin, who dropped one hand, forcefully struck his fist.

Kwaaang-.

The shapes of the magic circles constantly changed. Until now, his magic had amplified his own strength and diminished the opponent's strength, but now it was time to change the focus.

Thud, kwaang-.

A constant pounding of fists.

Blood was about to spurt from his hand. Although his bones were injured and hurting, Odin didn't stop the pounding.

-Beeeee-.

The Black Woods Goat emitted a bleat.

The feeling of its bleat was different from before. Instead of being threatening, this time the bleat sounded more like a cry of agony.

"Does it hurt?"

Kwahk-.

Odin's fist clenched tighter.

Although his flesh had been completely torn apart, and his bones were visible, Odin felt no pain.

One of the spells he had cast on his own fist included one that shielded him from pain.

"Then, try it more."

Kwaang-!

Odin's pounding continued.

A constant repetition of brutal attacks. However, there was no other choice in dealing with an opponent who was breaking through the cracks.

However...

Gkgik, ggikggik-.

Odin's body was still being pushed back constantly.

Now, more than half of the entity's face had broken through the crack.

'I can't push it.'

Odin growled and raised his head.

Unbeknownst to him, the Black Woods Goat was watching him. On the face of the creature resembling a giant goat, Odin felt that the creature was smiling.

It wasn't an illusion.

The eyes of the Black Woods Goat and Odin met.

And at that moment...

Beeeeee~

The bleat of the goats that had disappeared a moment ago was heard behind Odin.

Beeeeeee, beeeee-.

Since when had this happened?

Odin noticed that there were countless goats gathering around him.

They were looking at Odin as if they had a feast before them.

Kwaduk-.

Odin's shoulder was bitten by one of the goats.

Originally, it wouldn't have been possible for a newborn goat's teeth to penetrate Odin's body.

Odin, being one of the most powerful Mages of the Tower, always had multiple spells surrounding his body.

But now it wasn't a normal situation.

All the spells Odin could use were concentrated on blocking the Black Woods Goat that was breaking through the cracks.

Kwaak, kwaddkkk-.

Beeeee-.

Odin's body was buried under dozens of giant goats.

The weight of the giant creatures, like buffaloes, crushed Odin's body. The goats' teeth bit into Odin's shoulders, arms, and legs firmly.

"...This is bad..."

Blood spurted from his body as the goats' teeth dug into him. Although he felt no pain, Odin found himself at a crossroads.

Should he give up on trying to stop the Black Woods Goat and face the goats instead, or should he press on?

It was a difficult decision.

Neither of the two paths at the crossroads had a clear destination.

But then...

Woosh~

A blue barrier appeared around Odin.

Bee-?

The barrier pushed away the goats that were clinging to Odin's body and protected him from their fangs.

It could even be considered an aura-like skill.

But strangely, it felt refreshing.

["Blessing of the Sea" has been activated in your body]

Blessing of the Sea.

When Odin saw the skill's name, he thought of a person.

Surely, someone who used skills related to the sea.

"Poseidon?"

"Are you so exhausted that you can't even distinguish people anymore?"

Kraaaah!

The bodies of the goats surrounding Odin were split in half.

The goats' bodies were split in two, with half of their bodies on each side. YuWon, who had cut the goats with his flaming sword (Holy Fire), appeared in front of Odin.

"Taking the vanguard on your own, just like always."

"Are you... you?"

It was a somewhat tepid reaction.

It was a relief that YuWon had eliminated the Goats. However, his arrival wasn't of much help to Odin.

To resolve this situation, he needed someone else.

"What happened to Chronos?"

Odin's question made YuWon realize that he was thinking the same as him.

YuWon responded as he burned the goats with the Holy Fire and cut them down.

"About half of it has been resolved."

"About half?"

"The rest will probably resolve itself."

Only YuWon could persuade Chronos, who existed both inside and outside the Tower. Only YuWon, who knew the future and had returned to the past, could do so.

Of course, YuWon didn't think Chronos would change his mind so quickly.

He couldn't pressure or persuade him.

He could only leave him be.

Of course...

"We don't have time."

They didn't know how long that decision would take.

"I know."

"Is there any way to move him aside right now?"

"For now, no."

Wooosh~

Flames erupted from YuWon's sword.

['Holy Fire' consumes 'Black Woods Goat Offsprings']

To defeat the resilient goats with great regenerative power, they needed a power superior to theirs. Among all abilities, YuWon thought fire was the most effective.

YuWon didn't stop and continued killing the goats.

These goats had also come from the Black Woods Goat, and killing them was a way to weaken the Black Woods Goat's power.

"So, what are we going to do?"

"Even though we can't move him aside right now, at least we have a safe way to buy time."

"Buy time?"

Odin could sense the question in YuWon's look about how he was going to achieve that.

YuWon shrugged in response to Odin's skeptical gaze.

"You seem skeptical. Too bad."

"Seeing you make jokes, it seems like you have confidence in yourself."

Unlike Odin, who was fighting alone against the Black Woods Goat at the cost of his life, YuWon seemed to have some kind of confidence in himself.

YuWon's gaze rose to the sky.

In his now red pupils, a cloud entered.

"That guy, though I don't know if he's good at other things, at least he's good at fighting."

["Golden Cinder Eyes" resonate]

Hwarr-.

Right after the message appeared.

Boooooooooooom-.

In the distance, a large staff flew towards them.

Twhwack-!

The end of the staff pushed the Black Woods Goat outward. Odin narrowed his eyes as he looked at the staff rising above his head.

"This is..."

A long staff that seemed connected to the sky.

Such a large item was unique in the Tower.

Ru Yi Bang.

Originally used in the Dragon Palace to measure the depth of the ocean, this item had more destructive power than a common weapon. It was also known as the weapon of the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.

"I have arrived."

A loud and energetic voice echoed from the long and large end of the staff.

Despite the situation, it was a cheerful and energetic voice. However, hearing it gave them courage.

The first bet that YuWon had been waiting for.

His most powerful ally, who had fought and won against countless Outer Gods.

"You arrived quickly!"

When had he been called?

Looking at Son OhGong riding the Flying Nimbus and flying towards them, YuWon muttered with a smile.

"Monkey."

The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.

It was the moment when Son OhGong appeared.
