Leveling with the supreme-rulers - Chapter 547

Chapter 547

C23

“Launch a Lightning Bolt over the stadium? What do you mean by that?”

Hargan was cautious when YuWon first asked him this.

He thought that maybe this guy named Kim YuHun was a terrorist sent to sabotage the Great Celestial War.

However, he soon found himself even more puzzled by YuWon’s following words.

“An Administrator will appear here.”

“An Administrator?”

“You’re an informed guy, so you should know, right? What happened with Vishnu recently.”

It was a story he couldn’t ignore.

The news that Vishnu’s death was related to the Administrators was so well-known that not a single Ranker was unaware of it.

Some even spread rumors that it wasn’t the Administrators, but a rival Great Guild behind it all, but those were unfounded stories.

Moreover, it was Hargan’s father, Zeus, who most fervently advocated for a total war against the Administrators.

YuWon’s words made Hargan sink into his thoughts.

Should he believe what he says? Or should he dismiss it?

It was a hard story to believe, but if it was true, he couldn’t just brush off that idea.

And then, at that moment…

YuWon offered him a compromise.

“Ask Zeus about this. Ask him the same question I asked you, and if he answers yes, then believe it. If not, then forget about everything.”

Leaving the decision in Zeus’s hands.

Hargan, after thinking for a while, accepted that proposal.

The Zeus he knew had never been wrong in these kinds of decisions.

And as a result…

Zeus really accepted YuWon’s ridiculous request.

“Haa-.”

Two days had passed since the Great Celestial War qualifiers ended.

Afternoon had already arrived, which meant the finals were about to begin.

Considering the nature of Great Celestial War, where the finals were completed in a single day, he couldn’t help but sigh even more deeply.

Chewing on gum, Hargan looked up at the ceiling.

If everything went according to plan, today, a Lightning Bolt from Zeus would strike the arena sand.

‘The problem is the penalty.’

Even Zeus couldn’t launch a Lightning Bolt onto the arena without any restrictions.

If the conditions weren’t right, Zeus wouldn’t launch the Lightning Bolt.

In the end, creating those conditions was his job.

What should we do?

Just as his thoughts were deepening.

“You don’t have to think too much.”

YuWon, who was resting beside him in the waiting room, finally spoke.

“I’ll take care of that.”

“Do you have any plan?”

“Yes.”

“Then why not share it?”

“I can’t. For now.”

Hargan looked at YuWon with suspicious eyes.

He couldn’t read his thoughts, so now he was beginning to doubt him.

Of course, now that Zeus had given his consent, it was no longer Hargan’s business to complain.

“For now, just relax.”

YuWon, with closed eyes, yawned long and fell asleep.

“Ten minutes left.”

“…Yes.”

If everything went according to plan, a great battle was about to take place in the Great Celestial War.

The Administrators and their Envoys.

And the Players.

This place would turn into a battlefield when they clashed.

‘Ten minutes.’

Tic, tac, tic, tac.

‘During that time, I have to adjust my condition to the maximum.’

Bang!

The door swung open abruptly, and the gazes of YuWon, Pandora, Hargan, and Lee Seong Yun turned toward it.

And then…

“Eh?”

“Wow…”

Hargan was surprised by the unexpected guest, while Lee Seong Yun opened his mouth.

A beautiful woman with long silver hair appeared with a cold aura.

Tsukuyomi had arrived at the four-person waiting room.

“I’m sure the door was locked.”

YuWon, who was reclining on the chair, slowly opened his eyes.

“… Did she just break in?”

“I found you, finally.”

Although the most famous people here were Hargan and Pandora, Tsukuyomi’s gaze was fixed on YuWon.

Her eyes were quite penetrating.

Walking quickly toward YuWon, she extended her hand.

“Hand it over.”

“This?”

Clang~.

YuWon waved Kusanagi hanging from his waist along with the Magatama Jewel attached to the sword.

In addition to that…

“Or this?”

A transparent mirror from the inventory reflected Tsukuyomi’s face.

“All of them.”

“I have no reason to give you these just because you said you were looking for them.”

“I’ll let you live.”

“I have a lot of money.”

Tsukuyomi’s eyebrows moved at the firm refusal.

“Except for the Yata Mirror, the other two were originally mine.”

“They weren’t yours.”

“That’s…”

Just as Tsukuyomi was about to refute something.

Chill~

With a shiver down her spine, Tsukuyomi raised her head.

The silver hair fluttered, and an Arcane Power the color of moonlight spread through the place.

“You, leave.”

“…Pandora.”

Tsukuyomi squinted at Pandora’s hostile behavior.

The other three here didn’t know, but Pandora wasn’t an easy opponent.

Pandora’s rank was 41.

She was the only survivor of the Three Precious Children and had a lower rank than her, who was 95.

‘I definitely didn’t see her on the participant list.’

Pandora was an unexpected variable.

Tsukuyomi had the intention of using force if she faced difficulties recovering the Three Sacred Treasures.

Fortunately, the opponent with the Three Sacred Treasures was not a major Player.

However, the variable named Pandora stood in her way.

“Do you trust her?”

“Don’t talk to YuWon about it.”

“It seems they are closer than I thought.”

She wouldn’t be a simple bodyguard. She had heard rumors about Pandora several times. She belonged nowhere and teamed up with no one.

The fact that she, practically a retired Player, entered the world should have been a big problem, but at this moment, she was just a thorn in Tsukuyomi’s eyes.

“Do I have to fight?”

Crunch~.

The temperature in the room dropped, and it froze.

She was slowly preparing for battle. She couldn’t guarantee that she could win a fight against Pandora, but she couldn’t back down now that she had the coveted Three Sacred Treasures in front of her.

Just as the two were about to clash…

“How did you know I had the Three Sacred Treasures?”

YuWon stood between them, and the battle that was about to erupt stopped for a moment.

Crunch~.

The frozen air followed Tsukuyomi’s gaze towards YuWon.

An expression of doubt.

However, she knew it too.

That the possibility of obtaining the Three Sacred Treasures by fighting now was not so high.

“I had a method.”

“If you know that method, it means you also know how to combine the Three Sacred Treasures.”

Tsukuyomi’s eyes widened at YuWon’s words.

Her expression was as if asking how he knew.

And from that expression, YuWon made a decision.

“Then I’ll give them to you. All three.”

“Really?”

Tsukuyomi got unusually excited. Smiling radiantly, she approached YuWon and took his hand tightly.

“I will definitely reward you. Points, lands, or properties belonging to the Three Precious Children, whatever, just name it…”

“Though I’m rich, well, if you give it to me, I’ll take it.”

No one dislikes money.

And YuWon was no different.

Although they were now bankrupt, it was easy to imagine the amount of wealth that the Three Precious Children, composed of double-digit High-Rankers, had accumulated so far.

“Add one more to that.”

“One more?”

Tsukuyomi nodded as if she were willing to do anything if he just gave her the Three Sacred Treasures.

Anyone who knew the value of the Three Sacred Treasures wouldn’t easily hand them over.

That’s why Tsukuyomi had come here, thinking of handing over most of what she had.

“What would the opponent ask for?”

YuWon looked at the three people around him and told Tsukuyomi with a serious expression:

“You also join, here.”

A vague proposal.

While Tsukuyomi put on an expression of perplexity, unable to understand the meaning, Lee Seong Yun hit Hargan on the side from behind.

“Leader.”

“What’s up?”

“My eyes are so bright I can’t open them.”

Hargan looked at Lee Seong-Yun with puzzled eyes, as if he didn’t understand what he was talking about.

Contrary to his unintelligible words, Lee Seong-Yun’s eyes shone brighter than ever.

——————-

On the way to the Tournament arena.

In the midst of the cold silence, Hargan asked curiously:

“Aren’t you going to participate in the Pandora Tournament? If you participate, you’ll be one of the favorites to win along with Asura.”

Even a Ranker like Pandora was strong enough to be considered a candidate to win this tournament.

The strongest candidate for victory would undoubtedly be Asura, but with a bit of luck, she could achieve victory against Asura, whose resistance had weakened.

“She’s on my side.”

Unlike others, she had no need to participate in this tournament.

“From the beginning, it was a Tournament I participated in to create a team in the first place.”

One of the few people who still remembered YuWon. And one of the few companions YuWon could trust was Pandora.

“…Really?”

But…

“You have a lump on your head, you.”

In this situation, her words weren’t very convincing.

A lump on YuWon’s head.

That was the reason they weren’t convincing.

‘Why is she acting like this all of a sudden?’

The moment Hargan, Lee Seong Yin, and Tsukuyomi left the room.

Suddenly, Pandora hit YuWon’s head with all her might. Pandora, who had no special strength or special abilities, could maintain her ranking of 41 thanks to her physical ability.

Although nothing else was known, Pandora’s physical ability was comparable to that of High-Rankers within the top 10.

So when Pandora hit his head with all her might, even YuWon couldn’t help but feel the impact.

“Well, for now.”

“If what you say is true, will an Administrator appear here today?”

At Tsukuyomi’s question, who had joined them at some point, YuWon nodded.

“Yes.”

“And if he doesn’t appear?”

“Then you can keep them. Of course, that shouldn’t happen.”

“You trust yourself quite a bit.”

The Three Sacred Treasures passed into Tsukuyomi’s hands.

She knew how to combine the Three Sacred Treasures and was the most suitable person to use the three items most effectively.

‘It’s a bit of a waste, but…’

YuWon stroked the Otherworld Sword hanging from his waist to calm his regret.

‘At this moment, whether I have the Three Sacred Treasures or not doesn’t matter.’

Actually, the only sacred weapon YuWon used was the Kusanagi Sword.

However, for YuWon, who originally had the Otherworld Sword, the Kusanagi could only be a substitute.

“Promise that you’ll keep your word. If what you say is true, we don’t know if we’ll all come out alive from this Tournament.”

She also had ears and knew about Vishnu’s death.

Rank 2.

A great Deva supreme-ruler who had existed since ancient times for over ten thousand years.

Knowing that his death was the work of the Administrators, Tsukuyomi couldn’t help but be nervous.

‘Amaterasu’s ranking, who gathered the Three Sacred Treasures, was within the top 20.’

The Three Precious Children had known the power of the Three Sacred Treasures for a long time and had been searching for them.

Originally, the Three Sacred Treasures were one.

Gathering and uniting those Three Sacred Treasures was the old dream of the Three Precious Children.

However, in the end, Amaterasu, who gathered the Three Sacred Treasures, couldn’t find a way to unite them.

‘It’s curious.’

The treasures of the Three Precious Children, who had finally found their true master…

‘I wonder how it will look when the Three Sacred Treasures unite.’

YuWon was sure.

Just today, the ideal Ranker that the Three Precious Children had been searching for would be born.
