Leveling with the Gods

[Level Up with God Side Story Episode 76]

* * *

Cough-.

Tsukuyomi coughed and rubbed his nose.

The cold air of the night seeped through my skin to the core.

Crack, crack, crack-.

In front of me, a hot bonfire was burning, spewing smoke high into the sky.

Tsukuyomi wasn’t the only one coughing.

“Etchwi-!”

Opposite her.

Pandora was also sneezing as she reached out to the bonfire.

“are you okay? Are you okay?”

Yuwon, who started the fire, looked at the two people in turn and asked.

I handed the blanket I took out of my inventory to the two people.

Tsukuyomi, with a thick blanket wrapped around her body, opened her mouth and said that she would survive.

“The chill keeps building up.”

It was strange.

Tsukuyomi, a high ranker who uses ice attribute magic, has never felt cold since some time ago.

Even if it is the North Sea of Murim, where it is winter all year round and the ice never melts.

however.

To feel this cold at best on a desert night.

“It won’t just be cold.”

“then?”

“You’re constantly being threatened by something. So hold on well. “If you do it wrong, your spirit might be eaten away.”

With those words, Yuwon’s gaze turned to Pandora.

Horok-.

Pandora is drinking hot boiled water over a bonfire.

Yuwon sighed, remembering the first time he met her.

‘Did I bring you here for no reason?’

I was secretly worried.

She had already experienced something similar to this once.

Moreover, it was harsher at the time than it is now.

Above all, she had the memories of Azathoth and the power of the Outerwear.

At this point, you may not feel anything, or you may be more distressed by past trauma.

-How long should I go?

In the meantime.

Susanoo, the dead man, seemed alone and peaceful.

-I don’t know how time passes, but it feels like it’s been more than 10 days.

“I don’t know how far. “I’m just going to see it.”

-Shouldn’t you let him know what you’re looking for?

Susanoo said while looking at Tsukuyomi who was wrapped in a blanket.

When she asked what the maple leaves were, Yuwon responded by saying, ‘You’ll know it when you see it.’

A vague answer whose meaning is difficult to understand.

But just because it was Yuwon didn’t mean he didn’t want to explain.

‘I don’t know how to explain it…’

How on earth should I explain this guy?

A person the size of your palm?

An amorphous being without form?

Either that or Azathoth?

‘It must be… difficult to explain it like that.’

What form will this guy exist in?

Does it even exist?

There was nothing Yuwon could know.

Still, if I had to guess, there was just one thing.

“Ubo Satla.”

“Ubo Satla? Are those autumn leaves?”

When Tsukuyomi questioned his words, Yuwon shook his head.

“no. “That’s not it.”

“then?”

“It was that guy’s house. Originally.”

A question mark appeared above Tsukuyomi’s head.

but.

Whether it was maple leaves or Uvo Sarla, it was a difficult explanation for her.

“It was an outerwear that appeared in the Nibelungen. Have you heard of it?”

“To the Nibelungen… Ah!”

10 years ago.

A huge outerwear that appears turning over the land of Nibelungen.

There was a time when Nibelungen and Yuwon Jecheon Daeseong joined forces to deal with a being the size of a city.

Although people left Yuwon out of that record, they remembered him.

The survivors of the Nibelungen narrated the events of that day in song.

“I know. Outerwear of the Nibelungen.”

“We just need to find that guy.”

“I heard you caught it then?”

“that’s right.”

Apparently, Ubo Satla disappeared from the spot that day.

It was crushed by Azathoth’s amorphous teeth, leaving no trace.

but.

It was just an entity created by Yog-Sothoth, who was there.

“Originally, that guy wasn’t alive.”

“then?”

“Autumn leaves were his home.”

“It was a house? that is?”

Yuwon nodded and looked up at the sky.

“This is the house where the world’s greatest father lived. Sothos was named after that.”

“…? …? …?”

“That is Uvo Satl, the formless idiot who created it.”

“Ubo… Satl… Idiot….”

Tsukuyomi felt like tearing out his head.

Sotos, the great father.

Ubo Satla, the formless idiot creator…

I’m sure I’m listening to the explanation. There were only a few words I could understand:

“I don’t understand a single word of what you’re saying.”

“That’s why I told you. Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand.”

Yuwon

laughed and raised the flame.

[Smoke the ‘Flame of Death and Decay’.]

As the flame grew, the creepy bodies of Tsukuyomi and Pandora began to melt.

The Flame of Death and Decay.

That name. The size of the was so large that even the spirits of ordinary outerwear could not dare to approach.

Pandora, who felt comfortable, was dozing off before she knew it.

Yuwon laid her head on her shoulder and said,

“Let’s close our eyes for a moment and move again.”

_

_ He heard the howl of a mountain goat.

It was a familiar cry.

Yuwon looked back at the mountain goat and suddenly came to his senses.

‘It’s not my memory.’

I couldn’t control my body.

Just when I thought it was a dream,

my feet started moving again. I walked along

the sandy

beach sloping down and took a mountain goat and a child home.

A cave leading underground.

A familiar figure . A mountain goat and a child are brought along the road.

[“Do you need food?”] He

bent down and looked at the child.

The child, who was watching, nodded and Yuwon’s body moved.

[“Let’s look for it. Look around slowly. Stay.”]

Meeee…

The mountain goat pulled the child’s body.

As if I were a senior. It told him to follow me.

[“You have to follow me carefully. You might get lost.”]

Look up once again. The child nodded.

Nyala Totep followed Shub

-Niggurath like that.

The body of the amusement park.

Azathoth, the father of the great world, walked around his house like that.

To find something for Nyala to eat.

So inside . Let’s go in.

[“How are you?”]

Blink-. Wiggle,

wiggle-.

Countless eyes and mouths are blinking and opening their mouths as if welcoming him.

[“My children.”]

* * *

Pod-.

Hurrying from the nightmare. My eyes widened as if I was waking up.

I turned my head at the sound of a shiver and found Pandora sleeping, head to head. -Are you awake

?

Susanoo’s voice.

With his sword half drawn, he was standing with the three sleeping people behind him. .

As if he were a bodyguard.

“Are you asleep?”

I never thought I would fall asleep like this without knowing the world. I don’t even know when I fell asleep.

Susanoo said to Yuwon’s muttering in confusion.

-It was strange.

“What?”

-It was so sudden. It made me wonder if he had fainted rather than fallen asleep.

Yuwon nodded at that.

It was strange.

I didn’t think I needed to sleep, and I wasn’t able to rest for a long time or was tired from the battle.

That’s why I felt drowsy. Nor was he mentally weak enough to not be able to bear it.

‘That dream…’

As his thoughts deepened, a deep line formed between Yuwon’s eyebrows.

‘Is it because of that?’

If someone had put him to sleep to make him dream that dream, then

it was understandable.

No matter how much he remembered, Yuwon had never had a dream about Azathoth in the past 10 years.

But, especially at this time.

The memory of Azathoth returning home with Shub Nigguras and Nyala Totep appeared in his dream.

‘No way…’

Someone sent a signal to him.

Yuwon’s eyes lit up as he remembered who that ‘someone’ might be. “ Pandora

. Tsukuyomi.”

Yuwon hurriedly woke up the two people who were sleeping.

The two people who had been sleeping for a while opened their eyes.

Tsukuyomi rubbed his eyes and asked,

“Huh? why?”

“I need to hurry up.”

Yuwon looked at the other side of the desert.

Before I had the dream, I had no idea where I was.

Now, strangely enough, the road that had seemed the same place for over 10 days looked different.

“It doesn’t seem to be far.”

_

_ I looked at Yuwon’s back as he was running towards one direction at high speed.

‘Why is he so fast?’

The reason he was riding on Susanoo’s back was because it was difficult to chase after him.

That’s how Yuwon was moving with all his might.

Just barely enough for the other party members to catch up.

‘As if he was sure of the path….’

I woke up the group who were sleeping and wondered where on earth they were going in such a hurry.

Passu. Yuwon,

who was moving forward quickly, stopped and signaled to go back.

The speed slowly slowed down.

At the same time, magic was in Tsukuyomi’s eyes.

[ ‘Izanagi’s Eyes’ are activated.]

Tsutsutsu –

I can see things that were not visible in the whitened eyes.

I saw something huge wriggling under the empty desert.

“It’s coming.”

“come.”

Yuwon and Tsukuyomi spoke at the same time.

And at that moment.

Fuhua-!

A huge earthworm leaping out of the desert.

Yuwon and Tsukuyomi, who had known it from before, pulled out their swords and swung them.

A slash.

The outer body was split into four parts. He couldn’t even scream and dropped the flesh on the floor.

The desert sand greedily sucked Outer’s corpse into the sand, as if it had found prey after a long time.

However,

there was more than one opponent.

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa one one?

[Ahhhh-!]

Beings from another world are constantly screaming and coming up.

As if they had the same purpose, they appeared above the desert, blocking Yuwon and the group.

“This is…”

Tsukuyomi’s eyes widened. I looked ahead.

A few times since I crossed the wall.

She had used Izanagi to examine this world.

Thanks to this, nameless outerwear live all over the desert.

I knew they were everywhere, but this was a bit extreme.

“Is there too much?”

[Aaaaa-!]

[Aaaaa-!]

I couldn’t understand what they were saying.

However, they had an incorrect shape and everyone blocked the group’s path, making the same cries.

But how big is that number?

This whole desert was them.

Jeopuk-.

Yuwon stopped for a moment and looked up at them.

Since I knew the way, I wanted to go quickly, but they blocked me.

I felt a little angry because I knew who was like this.

“I thought it was my house because it was left empty for a while.”

And that moment.

Haven’t used it in a long time.

Yuwon’s other name, which I thought would no longer be used, has come to light.

[‘The Great Adversary of the Other World’ reveals his name.]

“…Sothos.”
