Leveling with the Gods

[Level Up with the Gods Side Story Episode 78]

* * *

The enemy -.

Everything beneath Tsukuyomi’s feet was frozen.

Siridisirin chill.

Pieces of the name froze in the air and fell to the ground, where Susanoo cut them down.

Quaat-.

“It’s been a while since you two moved.”

-Are you thinking about the past?

“little. “The situation is a little different between then and now.”

-It’s not just a little bit different. He came out of the tower completely.

Quiit-.

Susanoo’s sword was sharp.

Tsukuyomi was amazed every time she saw the sword he was wielding.

A skill far superior to that of his prime.

It was said that undead summoners are influenced by the summoner, and it seemed like it was thanks to that.

‘I was looking for something here.’

While Susanoo was clearing the path, Tsukuyomi, who had some free time, activated his eyes.

[‘Izanagi’ is activated.]

Giiing-.

Your field of vision opens wide, and you can see at a glance the space you are currently standing in.

At the same time, I saw something at the edge of the fragments of names wriggling before my eyes.

“…what?”

The end of the cave.

There is a person hanging on the wall like a corpse.

Although his body and face were covered by a robe, his exposed jawline seemed like a man.

Excited-.

My heart beats and my surroundings change.

All the noisy sounds of the outerwear were blocked.

The creepy presence of those guys becomes nothing, and a being as huge as the sun comes into view.

“What… is this…”

Tsukuyomi, who was looking at the man on the wall, hesitated and took a step back.

She instinctively turned her head to look for Susanoo, who was with her.

But he was not here.

Activate Izanagi . All I could see at a glance was a corpse with a huge presence, blocked by numerous Outers.

Gulp…

‘There’s something like that?’

Kaaaa…

I felt like I could hear a sound.

An infinite void with no end.

A scream.

It felt like an absolute being who could be anything and do anything had died and lost its power.

What on earth was it when it was alive that it still had that kind of presence even after death? Feeling awe and fear towards a dead body? It’s something I’ve never even thought about.

If

it had been, it wouldn’t have been surprising

if

Izanagi had used this opportunity to target Tsukuyomi’s mind again.

But,

right now, not even Izanagi has appeared.

He too is afraid.

-…Mi.

Shake-.

Little by little, he comes to his senses when he feels his shoulder being grabbed and shaken.

-Yomi-!

A sound so loud that his ears fall off.

Only then does he come to his senses. As I prepared the food, Susanoo’s face appeared before my eyes.

-Are you okay?

“Uh. Uh?”

– Come to your senses. Why are you doing this?

My

body was shaking like an aspen.

A chill came over me. I

often felt the chill after coming outside, but now it was a little worse.

My face, which was already white, was turning blue. His body became as cold as ice.

Tsukuyomi could define what he was feeling.

Fear.

“I saw something.”

-What?

“A dead body…”

-A corpse?

Tsukuyomi explained what he saw.

There was a body hanging there and outer guards surrounding it as if to guard it.

And Susanoo, who heard those words, was convinced.

-That’s it.

“That’s it?”

-That’s what we were looking for. Maple.

“…Maple? that is?”

Tsukuyomi laughed.

The expression on his face as if that was some kind of nonsense.

For a moment, she thought that Susanoo might not have understood her explanation properly.

Otherwise, there’s no way that something that seems to exist above everything else in the world would be given the name ‘autumn leaves’.

-I know what you’re thinking. I’m actually embarrassed too. Still, the owner’s name should be a bit unique.

He too found out too late.

What kind of thing was that little creature named Maple?

“Then… is that really what you were looking for? “Autumn leaves?”

They say you’ll know it the moment you see it.

Half right and half wrong.

‘You can’t help but notice something like that.’

It’s too big to be invisible.

There was no way we couldn’t find dinosaurs among the ants.

On the other hand, even if it catches your eye, it doesn’t mean you can tell.

The reason was obvious.

‘What on earth is the name of something like that, autumn leaves?’

Take a moment to open your mouth in absurdity.

-come.

Susanoo, who returned to the back, felt Yuwon’s energy.

Through the path they passed through.

Yuwon was flying in with an impatient look on his face.

* * *

[‘The enemy of the other world’ opposes the ‘Fragment of the Name’.] [‘

Tartaros’ dwells in the ‘Sword of the Other World’.]

Oh my!

I swung the sword without precision.

The tip of the sword was as crude as his urgent mind, but the speed at which he cleared the path was as fast as he wasted his strength.

Tsukuyomi, who was following behind, stuck out his tongue.

Pandora, who had nothing to do, was left behind.

“Whoa-.”

Only after removing all the pieces of the name that were blocking his way did Yuwon catch his breath.

I looked up and saw a man hanging on the wall.

The moment I see your face.

Yuwon’s eyes wavered.

“Really… was it there?”

That moment.

Yuwon could see the same thing that Tsukuyomi had just seen.

Infinite emptiness and chaos.

A man sitting on a broken throne with his eyes closed.

It was a familiar face.

I don’t know if that face is real or not.

In my memories, he definitely had that face from beginning to end.

‘Azathos.’

He died in a small cabin.

He could do anything and create anything.

Why did you build a small hut and live in it?

Yuwon, who had memories, knew.

‘I wanted to become like a human.’

I still get confused sometimes.

Are you Azathoth or Kim Yu-won?

if.

If only he had not abandoned all his names and abdicated the throne.

Perhaps by now I might have become lost and lost my identity.

[Meeee-.]

[Meeee-.]

I can hear the bleating of the goats.

When I came to my senses, I found myself in a black forest.

[‘The goat of the black forest with a thousand babies’ faces the ‘shapeless soul■’.] [The ‘

Dancer dancing with flames’ faces the ‘shapeless soul■’. Facing the ‘soul■’.]

[‘The unnamed greatness’ faces the ‘shapeless soul■’.] [

‘The nameless fog’….]

A bunch of names. run wild

The goats cried as they looked at the empty forest, not the amusement park.

however.

The name is broken.

But just because it was broken didn’t mean it was unrecognizable.

‘It’s Maple’s name.’

The name that forms the foundation of Azathoth.

The beginning of all names and the chaos that consumes all names.

In response to that name, the names Yuwon had were agitated.

I’m crying-.

I feel like I’m going to vomit.

still.

Now I had to go see him.

Jeopuk-.

Leading the mountain goats, Yuwon walked to the place with his name.

The chaos of the black forest, shaking in an unstable state, beckoned Yuwon.

Come here quickly.

I was waiting.

Jeopuk-.

My steps gradually became slower.

I didn’t know when I had that power.

It felt so dangerous.

Smul-.

Numerous missing teeth can be seen through the darkness.

Some eyes shed tears as they looked at Yuwon.

It was the guy’s feelings.

[“Baa-.”]

A familiar voice that stretches out helplessly.

I followed the voice and walked through the forest.

Without even noticing the passage of time. continue.

Yuwon walked and walked as if he wanted to see the end of the black forest.

And at the end.

What awaited Yuwon was a bottomless void and a broken throne.

[“Ba-?”]

A throne with broken armrests and bent legs.

Autumn leaves were sitting quietly on the spot that seemed to symbolize the dethroned king, raising their heads.

[‘The formless soul■’ faces ‘Kim Yu■’.] [‘The

formless soul■’ is wary of ‘Kim Yu■’.]

Sreuk suru -.

Teeth surround Yuwon.

Eyes glared at Yuwon warily, and an eerie feeling penetrated my mind.

‘This is my first time seeing my name in a message.’

One letter of his name, which he saw in the message, was broken.

It had been forgotten by people, so it seemed that only when this name returned to its original state would the memories return along with it.

Smul-.

Amorphous monsters approached Yuwon.

You must not be cautious. You shouldn’t be afraid.

I know that, but it wasn’t as easy as I wanted to be.

[‘The enemy of the other world’ opposes the ‘formless soul■’.] [‘The other

world sword’ opposes the ‘formless soul■’ [Resist.]

Yuwon’s deity and the sword in his hand were the first to resist the power of the other world.

It was also a type of power that was activated on its own, but this time it wasn’t necessarily like that.

‘…It’s scary.’

I didn’t know it when I was next to you.

But when I took a step away, it felt completely different.

This is a state where the name is broken.

What on earth did it feel like in its perfect state?

Jeopuk-.

Yuwon walked forward, ignoring the chaos baring its teeth at him.

It feels like those teeth are going to bite his entire body off at any moment.

Even if that were the case, there was nothing I could do about it now.

Since I came all this way to look for him, I have no choice but to get closer to him somehow.

That’s how Yuwon reached the place where the autumn leaves were.

“sorry.”

After meeting him up close again, I felt a rush of regret.

Nyala Totep, who took Sothoth’s name.

In order to win the fight against him and to prevent something like this from happening again, Yuwon chose to abandon Azathoth’s name.

As a result, the autumn leaves disappeared from Yuwon.

It took me too long to make up my mind to find him again.

When I find it again.

I thought that something like 10 years ago would happen again someday.

chuck-.

The castle-like throne became so small that you could look down.

When I first saw the maple leaves sitting on this throne, I thought it was too big and out of place.

Maybe it suits me better now.

[“Baa…”]

With a small voice, the maple raised its head.

The moment their eyes met.

A crunch.

One of the teeth bit into Yuwon’s shoulder.

I was prepared for the entire shoulder to be torn off.

No. I thought that maybe it would just be eaten by those teeth and become part of the amorphous thing.

But

…

the amorphous teeth didn’t rip off Yuwon’s shoulder.

In return, it slowly bit down on the shoulder as if it felt sorry for its aggressive behavior. He let go and looked.

Kiing.

Yuwon looked at his shoulder.

‘You’re not hurt.’

Azathoth, the king of the world, was nowhere to be found.

The amorphous chaos that was his name was missing all his teeth.

Yuwon’s eyes turned downward.

Surrounded by countless teeth.

A small child.

[“Baa…. “]

Maple looked up at Yuwon and smiled brightly.

[“Wow-.”]

Shock-.

The moment Yuwon heard Maple’s voice, his eyes widened.

The guy who always said things that were difficult to understand spoke properly for the first time.

The pronunciation was very muffled and the voice was weak, but it was clearly audible.

He said he came.
