Leveling Up Alone - Chapter 561

Han-Yeol and Tayarana were much more powerful than anyone else, so there was nothing impressive about what they did this time. Han-Yeol had also won against countless stronger enemies in the past.

Whoosh!

He flung the magma off his sword before sheathing it.

“Let’s go, Tara.”

[Okay.]

They headed for the altar after neutralizing all of the golems in order to collect the Jewel Sword of Annihilation.

Krwaaang!

[Hmm?]

“What was that? Aren’t we underground right now?”

Han-Yeol was certain that they were currently inside a volcano that was a monster. Oddly enough, was the sound of thunder something that should exist while they were inside a monster or underground?

Clouds were required to create lighting, but how would clouds exist underground?

“Hold on, is it a monster?”

[Hmm...]

“Damn it. It’s not over yet. Oh well, I didn’t expect those monsters guarding the Jewel Sword of Annihilation to be so easy.”

Han-Yeol and Tayarana raised their guard and prepared for battle once again.

Krwaaaang!

A bolt of lightning struck the altar.

Gulp!

Both of them gulped nervously at the bizarre phenomenon.

Whoosh!

A gust of wind blew past the altar, and three individuals appeared at the foot of the altar in front of Han-Yeol and Tayarana. They wore white robes and looked like animals that walked on their hind legs, just like the Bastrolings.

‘Bastrolings?’

[They might look like the Bastrolings, but the mana they possess is different from theirs. Therefore, it is difficult to say that they are Bastrolings.]

‘What?’

[T-Their mana is amazing. I have never come across such powerful mana before.]

‘Damn it! What’s going on?!’

The sudden appearance of not one but three individuals with extremely powerful mana made Han-Yeol anxious.

Fortunately, neither of the three seemed to harbor any hostility toward him. In fact, they seemed to be quite fond of him for some reason.

‘Maybe they’re not enemies?’ Han-Yeol wondered.

[Greetings, visitor and benefactor from another dimension.]

“Who are you?”

[We are the gods who manage the Bastro Dimension.]

“G-Gods?!”

Han-Yeol was in utter disbelief at their introduction—no, he thought it was utter nonsense.

‘Why the hell would gods appear suddenly?!’

[What’s wrong, Han-Yeol? Do we have to kill them too?]

On the other hand, Tayarana could not understand the Bastro language, so she thought the three aliens were enemies. She did not sense any hostility from them, but she was still wary as plenty of enemies were capable of hiding their killing intent.

“No, Tara. They are not enemies.”

[They’re not?]

“Yes. They just introduced themselves as the gods of the Bastro Dimension.”

Even Tayarana was shocked after Han-Yeol revealed the identities of the trio.

[Gods?!]

“Yeah, that’s what they said. I have no idea why those gods suddenly appeared, but it’s important we remain calm and–”

[Wow! That’s amazing! Nice to meet you, gods!]

“Huh?”

Han-Yeol was the flustered one, while Tayarana seemed happy rather than surprised after he mentioned that they were gods. He told her about the three gods to get some reaction out of her, but he reacted instead.

‘Nice to meet you? Why?’

A regular person might be amazed at meeting a god, but the fact that Tayarana was casually talking to them left Han-Yeol baffled.

‘Is it a cat god?’ Han-Yeol wondered, but he decided to put his thoughts aside for now.

“I see...”

[There’s not much time left. You’re our last remaining hope, visitor from another dimension, as you’re not affected by the gods present in this dimension.]

[The three of us came to meet you as representatives of all the gods of this dimension.]

[We came to give you a gift.]

“A gift?”

The word "gift" delighted Han-Yeol, and he would always accept a gift from the gods with open arms.

[It would be best if we granted this to our children, but you’re somewhat related to this dimension despite being a human, so we could argue that you are not an outsider.]

“Well...”

Han-Yeol agreed. Earth was important to him, but the Bastro Dimension was important to him too, and thus he came and risked his life to kill the Dragon of Destruction.

“So what is this gift you have prepared for me?” Han-Yeol asked.

[This is our gift.]

Woooong!

A surge of mana similar to the light attribute that Han-Yeol possessed swirled around him. The mana felt familiar but also unfamiliar at the same time.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

[You have received a special gift from three of the gods managing the Bastro Dimension.]

[A gift from the gods is a truly special thing and could be considered the greatest treasure one could ever find in their entire life.]

Ding!

[The God of Abundance and Diligence, Paragon, has granted you immense experience points.]

[Your level has risen.]

[Your level has risen.]

[Your level has risen.]

[Your level has risen.]

...

[Your level has risen.]

Ding!

[The God of Victory, Meriaken, has granted you a new skill.]

[A new skill has been created – God’s Blessing (M)]

Ding!

[The God of Fire and Blacksmithing, Eratos, has granted you a new item.]

[You have obtained the GOD item, Chain of Annihilation.]

[The dimension manager is no longer surprised.]

“...”

Han-Yeol was stunned by the gifts he received.

‘Is this for real? Is this really happening? This is too much! I’m so thankful if you’re giving this to me me!’

In summary, he gained a whopping one hundred levels from the first blessing.

One hundred levels! Was something like this even possible?

Han-Yeol was Level 611 just a while ago, but he gained one hundred levels in the blink of an eye. The amount of effort he had to put in to gain one hundred levels was most likely immeasurable.

Yet, the god of this dimension granted him that without even snapping their fingers.

[I apologize. This is all I can grant you with my current powers.]

‘H-Hey! What do you mean by that?! You just gave me one hundred levels!’ Han-Yeol screamed internally, but he decided to just keep his thoughts to himself.

Why? Because this was the best gift he had ever received thus far.

‘Hehehe! This is awesome! This is the best!’

Then, he suddenly remembered something that snapped him out of it.

‘Eh? Hold on, wasn’t this just the first of three presents?’

Han-Yeol remembered that he still had two more gifts to open.

‘The second one was a skill, right?’
