Leveling with the supreme-rulers - Chapter 595

Side Story 71

The black space disappeared completely.

Tsukuyomi was sitting in her place, crying. Thanks to that, Izanagi’s power disappeared, but she was able to survive nonetheless.

‘Was he trying to use Izanagi from the beginning… or maybe the other way around?’

Ananta and Izanagi.

It was unknown which of the two was trying to use whom. But one thing was for sure, both with only half of their remaining power were trying to join forces to bring down Tsukuyomi.

Fortunately, time didn’t exactly help. At this moment, Tsukuyomi would probably be lying as if dead if it weren’t for timely assistance.

“Susanoo.”

-What’s wrong, Master?

“Stop behaving unpleasantly. If you have something to say, say it later.”

-Is that what you want them to hear?

Susanoo’s words made Tsukuyomi suddenly wake up. She realized that not only Susanoo was present in this place.

Tsukuyomi, crying. Her gaze turned towards YuWon.

‘Did he say Master?’

If there was anything like pride, Susanoo would probably be in the first place. That Susanoo, beyond recognizing someone else, even called him ‘Master.’

Just his appearance alongside Susanoo was already surprising, and their relationship was even more unbelievable.

“Tsukuyomi.”

“Uh, yes.”

She responded with a confused voice to YuWon’s sudden call.

“I’ll give you time to gather later, so recover for now. How long will it take to use Izanagi again?”

“Well, I’m not sure.”

“You can tell just by feeling it. It doesn’t have to be long. It can be brief.”

“If it’s brief…”

Tsukuyomi, thinking for a moment, extended a hand.

“About 5 minutes. That should be enough.”

“5 minutes.”

YuWon, imagining the situation for a moment, nodded.

Down there, Ananta was fighting against Son OhGong and Hercules.

When Ananta, whose seal was broken, started running wild, the situation became tense again.

“So, we’ll do what we can for 5 minutes. And Pandora…”

YuWon turned to Pandora, who was right behind him.

“Watch over Tsukuyomi from here.”

“Me?”

“Yes. That guy might play tricks from afar.”

Tsukuyomi, using Izanagi, was defenseless against external attacks.

Although his throat was cut, Izanagi didn’t really disappear.

Since he was already dead from the beginning, it was impossible for him to die again.

To prevent that, someone needed to be close.

“Can you do it?”

“Yes.”

When Pandora nodded, YuWon finally felt relieved.

If it’s a direct fight, it might be fine, but if it’s just a trick from afar, Pandora could stop it.

“YuWon.”

Seeing sweat on YuWon’s forehead, Pandora asked.

“Are you okay?”

Given the urgency of the situation, YuWon injected his own Arcane Power directly into the Sun Chariot to move it. He dispersed his Arcane Power as much as he could to increase speed and continued to ascend.

In addition, YuWon also spent a good amount of his own Arcane Power.

“Don’t worry.”

YuWon stroked Pandora’s head to calm her anxiety.

“This time will be different from last time.”

Golden eyes that shone intensely.

Throughout the way here, YuWon had been activating the “Eyes of Foreknowledge.”

The Monster King Ananta.

Although saying “thanks” would be exaggerated, thanks to letting him escape, YuWon was able to regain composure.

Paff!

YuWon descended downward, beneath the clouds.

Susanoo followed closely.

Kyaaaaah!

The roar of the giant Dragons resonated in their ears, and YuWon’s eyes gleamed.

“I won’t let you escape this time.”

——————-

Kwaaaaah!

Ananta’s heads unleashed an electric shock once again.

The Rankers of Olympus and Asgard were dragged by the shock, and Hades released his power to block the breath.

“This lizard!”

Zheek!

Kwaadak!

Son OhGong’s fist crushed the Dragon’s jaw. However, Ananta, now able to use his Arcane Power, was not as vulnerable as before.

“Do you remember?”

Krrrrrrr.

Two heads opened wide on both sides of Son OhGong.

Kiiiiiiing.

“It seems like you got your ass kicked the same way back then, didn’t you?”

Kwaaaaung!

The lightning echoed left and right, enveloping Son OhGong. A yellow lightning focused in a sphere, trapping Son OhGong.

Crackle!

“Are you so foolish to think you can attack me without thinking?”

Ananta’s voice filled with mockery.

Zheek!

“Then, I’ll devour you…”

“Kukuh… hehehe…”

At that moment…

Laughter erupted from Son OhGong’s lips.

For a brief moment, Ananta was stunned by the inappropriate laughter for the situation.

“You’re late but just in time.”

Kwaat!

A black line traced on the Dragon’s body. The power of corrosion spread from the tip of the sword that cut through the tough scales.

“Did you come flying?”

“No, I flew.”

YuWon and Son OhGong’s eyes met for a brief moment.

Paff!

The bonds holding him to Ananta came undone.

As he fell to the ground, Son OhGong, riding the Flying Nimbus, soared very high.

Tsusutsuutsu.

A black light emanated from the cold ring in YuWon’s hand.

[The “King of the Dead” invokes the power of the dead.]

[The power of “Tartarus” is infused into the “Otherworld Sword.”]

Kwaaat!

The sharp curved blade cut through the dragon’s scales as if they were paper.

YuWon ran across Ananta’s body, slashing it frantically with his sword.

Tsusu, tsusu.

The cut scales didn’t regenerate easily.

Wounds imbued with the power of Tartarus.

Ananta looked at YuWon, who was tearing his body apart, with bright eyes.

“So, you’ve returned.”

YuWon was the same one who had stopped Ananta once before when the latter had fled.

Like YuWon, burning with anger for letting Ananta escape due to his own complacency, Ananta also held a grudge.

“You’re strange. I don’t know where you came from. Or maybe you emerged out of nowhere. Neither I, nor Gandharva, nor anyone remembers you…”

A Ranker nobody remembers. A dangerous being who had cut half of himself.

“You emit a more dangerous smell than anyone else here.”

That’s why Ananta filled with greed.

“I can’t resist it. You’re so appetizing.”

Kyaaaaah!

Dozens of heads turned towards YuWon in unison.

Intense lightning gathered inside their mouths.

Hercules, surprised by the sudden increase in Arcane Power, turned his head.

“YuWon!”

Although he was an idiot, Son OhGong was immortal. He was a guy one could have faith in, believing he would never die, even in the worst case.

However, YuWon was different.

“That guy is formidable too, but his opponent is Ananta. He even blocked my father’s Astrape…”

Kwadduk-.

Hercules, breaking the neck of the Dragon he held between his two arms, headed towards YuWon.

“I’m the one who should stop him.”

But at that moment…

Craaack!

A bolt of lightning erupted from YuWon’s fingers, soaring into the sky.

[The power of “Lightning” is infused into the “Uranus Heart.”]

Arcane Power released through the Uranus Heart.

A size not falling behind Ananta’s lightning.

‘Although my lightning skills don’t come close to Zeus’s.’

Craaack-.

A giant lightning spear rose into the sky.

‘The power of Olympus is in my hands.’

YuWon suddenly felt curious. Ananta, the Monster King who controlled electricity. He wondered who, between him and Uranus, had greater control over the electric attribute.

“Let’s do a test.”

YuWon poured Arcane Power into the Uranus Heart.

Immediately…

The lightning YuWon held in his hand spread, countering Ananta’s lightning.

“In my lightning…?”

Ananta’s body swayed violently, perhaps puzzled by the power of the same kind emanating from YuWon’s hands.

And in that next moment…

Hwarurur-.

A giant with red flames appeared next to him.

[“The Heavenly Demon Spirit” controls the “Giant’s Flame.”]

Gooooo-.

The giant, absorbing Arcane Power and increasing its size, approached the size of Ananta. And with the appearance of the Heavenly Demon Spirit.

The battlefield fell into chaos again.

“A, a giant!”

“What is that?”

“Another monster?”

Giant.

It was a race with great significance for Asgard. Giants, who inhabited the land of fire Muspelheim, had been enemies of Asgard for a long time.

And among them…

There was only one with such size and burning fire.

“Surt…?”

Thor’s eyes, in particular, widened.

Surt.

He was the enemy of his father, Odin. He was the biggest and hottest of the giants. And the giant that had just appeared. It resembled that Surt a lot.

Hwarurur-.

A flaming sword.

The moment that sword swung towards Ananta…

Kyaaaaah-!

Kwadduk-.

The Dragon’s teeth bit into the Heavenly Demon Spirit’s sword.

Srrurk, srrurk-.

The Dragon’s heads coiled around the body of the Heavenly Demon Spirit.

YuWon’s Heavenly Demon Spirit and Ananta faced each other.

Craaaaaaaack-le-.

Two powers of destructive nature, fire and lightning, blended. Sweat accumulated on YuWon’s forehead as he moved the Heavenly Demon Spirit and directed the sword’s tip.

And another person watching YuWon from afar.

“That guy…”

It was the first time in 10 years that Son OhGong saw YuWon use so much power.

“Why is he so angry?”

Son OhGong thought that YuWon wouldn’t pay much attention to this since it wasn’t related to the Outers.

He knew he would help, but he didn’t expect him to be so active.

Although the Outers are the ones who destroyed YuWon’s world.

Ananta had nothing to do with that.

Hwarururuk!

The flames rose to the sky as the Heavenly Demon Spirit cut off one of Ananta’s heads.

Meanwhile, the bite wounds from Ananta’s heads multiplied on the Heavenly Demon Spirit’s body.

“It doesn’t matter if you cut some of my heads.”

Kyaaaaah!

Ananta’s roar echoed on the battlefield. His eyes scanned the Rankers scattered across the battlefield, like Hades, Thor, and Zeus.

“There’s a lot to eat here. I’ve never seen a feast like this.”

Although he weakened a bit each time a head was cut. If he ate everyone here, maybe he could grow enough to swallow the Tower.

“Feast?”

The corner of YuWon’s mouth lifted.

“That’s our job, isn’t it?”

Jebock-.

Inside the flame-wrapped Heavenly Demon Spirit. YuWon took a step forward, lowering the sword.

Ananta felt irritated. Both by the earlier words and his slow walk.

“Us? What are you talking about?”

“Aren’t we? You monsters…”

Grrrrrrr-.

Now, with over a hundred heads crushed or cut, the remaining heads looked at YuWon in unison.

“From the beginning, you’ve always been our experience.”

With those words…

Zheek-.

The black wounds left on Ananta’s body opened.

[Tartarus is devouring the Monster King Ananta.]

The open wounds enveloped Ananta’s body.

Ananta, surprised, felt strangely bewildered.

“What… what is this…!”

“It’s because of your size, I suppose.”

Kiiiing-.

Golden eyes.

Activating the Eyes of Foreknowledge, YuWon murmured.

“It takes a bit to activate.”
