#60. Ares’ Gladiator Arena (2)
Kaga River! visor! visor!
The harsh sound of blades clashing. A man and a woman are sparring on a square stadium.
Shoo! Shoo shoo shoo!
The goddess holding a long spear attacks like a storm.
Kang! Kaga River!
Namshin, holding a sword and shield, was sweating while blocking the fierce attack.
“Wow, it’s killing me?”
“She fights well!”
White Cloud and Adele Sharon muttered at the same time with their mouths open.
In the square stadium, right in front of it, Damdeok and his group were standing side by side, looking at the stadium.
“how is it?”
The man wearing the lion skin asked Damdeok.
Damdeok turned his gaze and looked at him.
Perhaps because of his muscles, he looked much more charismatic even though he was wearing the same lion skin.
‘I never thought I’d meet the real Hercules… .’
Actually, I had some idea when I first saw his appearance, but I couldn’t help but be surprised when the man introduced himself as Hercules.
Damdeok looked at him and smiled.
“In a way, of course it’s good. “It’s an amazing place.”
From the beginning, Hercules called Damdeok his brother. It’s probably because of his similar appearance.
Anyway, Damdeok decided to put aside the awkward politeness towards Hercules, who was friendly and called him brother.
“right? “This is one of the best training grounds in Olympus.”
“thank you. “I didn’t know you would do this.”
Hercules smiled at those words.
“Thank you. “We are already brothers.”
Hercules’ fist came lightly.
Damdeok laughed, fist bumping with him.
‘I never thought buying Hercules armor would have this kind of result.’
Hercules felt attracted to Damdeok just by his appearance, and personally brought him to the ‘Ares’ gladiatorial arena’ that Zeus had announced as the venue for the showdown.
Isn’t this the perfect condition for training for a month and gaining a sense of real-world skills?
‘And they said they would even train together.’
The opponent is the famous Hercules, said to be the greatest hero in Greek mythology. He was an extremely good teacher to Damdeok.
“So who are those two sparring now? It’s pretty intense. He seems to have considerable skills… .”
Ju Soo-yul, who was next to Damdeok’s serious question, burst into laughter.
“what. Why are you laughing?”
Even Hercules tilted his head at Damdeok’s question.
It’s as if it’s strange that Damdeok can’t recognize people he should know.
Damdeok’s head turned again.
What? Who the hell are they?
On the outside, they were very ordinary gods.
No, it looked even more uneven, perhaps because he was covered in sweat from sparring.
‘Who are you to do this?’
Considering I’ve never seen it in the gods’ banquet hall, I guess he’s not a very high god… .
Damdeok was worried with a very serious expression. Hercules, who was watching her, slowly opened his mouth and tried to explain.
Craddangtangtang!!
With the sound of a violent fall, Namshin, who was armed with a sword and a shield, raised his hands while falling.
Before I knew it, the goddess’ long spear was aimed at the tip of the male god’s chin.
[surrender! Get rid of that damn window!]
As soon as Namshin opened his mouth, Damdeok’s body flinched.
[Tch, this guy doesn’t know how to be gentle.]
The voice of Namshin, who stood up grumbling, was heard as if it were hitting Damdeok’s entire body.
Damdeok’s eyes widened slightly.
‘This kind of voice must be… .’
A voice that resonated through the entire body, not just the ears, was a typical ‘characteristic’ possessed only by the highest gods among the gods.
‘what. It doesn’t look like that… Was he a fairly high level god?’
The two gods looked so young that I didn’t think they were the best gods.
Damdeok’s eyes quickly turned in an unexpected situation.
‘Who the hell is it?’
Even Hercules, who is called the greatest hero, cannot make a voice like that.
The only ones who have voices like that are the highest gods like Zeus, Poseidon, Apollo, and Hades.
Moreover, if that male god in front of you right now is the highest god, then that goddess with whom you sparred is also… .
‘I’m saying it’s at a similar level. ‘I can’t recognize him at all just by looking at his face.’
While Damdeok was confused, Hercules was already approaching the stadium.
“Haha! Ares, did you lose again?”
[This bastard. Are you kidding me?]
The conversation between the two was natural, and the meaning was clear.
‘Ares? Ares, the god of war… !’
Damdeok swallowed his saliva.

A male god with red hair tied in a tight ponytail, his name was Ares.
Despite her beautiful appearance, the large scars left here and there were impressive.
‘Ha~ That’s right, I said this is Ares’ gladiatorial arena. ‘I can’t believe you didn’t notice that.’
But the surprise didn’t end there.
Hercules threw two water bottles and spoke to the goddess standing next to him.
“Athena told me to take it easy too. What if I beat you to death like that all the time? Look at me bro. You’re so scared! “Kkkkkk.”
The goddess, with long navy hair and wearing lightweight white and blue armor, smiled with a spear slung over her shoulder.
[Hmm, it’s gentle, but should it be more gentle?]
[hey! Athena you! You have to say it right! What is Salsal!]
“Brother Ares is angry again.”
[This bastard is real! No, man!]
Ares quickly threw the water bottle he was drinking, but Hercules easily dodged it and laughed heartily.
Damdeok, who was watching them, felt dizzy.
“Those two are Ares and Athena… .”
Aren’t they both one of the famous 12 gods of Olympus? Moreover, those two were gods to whom the modifier ‘war’ was attached.
Ares, the god of war.
Athena, goddess of war.
Addressul, who was next to me, was whispering.
“Good. They are all gods specialized in battle. “If I train to death with those three, it might be worth a try against Hades.”
Damdeok’s heart was already beating violently.
I was hoping that I would achieve significant growth just by training with the hero Hercules.
But if Ares and Athena join… ?
‘Sparring with Hades wouldn’t be so hopeless, would it?’
Athena must have felt Damdeok’s staring gaze and slowly turned her head to look this way.
[But who is over there… ?]
Ares, who was fiercely wrestling with Hercules, turned his head towards Damdeok.
[huh? I know. Who are they?]
Hercules then said as he released Ares’ headlock.
“Well, you two always come to the banquet hall late, so you don’t even know who the hottest topic is right now.”
They were so engrossed in training since dawn this morning that they couldn’t even set foot in the banquet hall.
At Hercules’ words, Athena and Ares’ faces showed curiosity.
[Person of interest… ?]
[Why is this person suddenly a hot topic?]
“You don’t know the God who completely devastated the banquet hall today? haha. “He is a god who even made an appointment to spar with Hades.”
Both of their eyes widened at those words.
Ares suddenly stood up and was staring at Damdeok and the others.
[Sparring with that guy? who?]
[Which one of them? There are four people?]
Athena and Ares began quickly scanning from Adele Sharon to Baekgureum, Damdeok, and Jooyul with excited expressions.
[…] What, those two over there are humans?]
[…] Hey, Hercules. What if I bring a human?]
Athena and Ares said that while pointing at White Cloud and Adele Sharon with their chins.
It’s like asking if you’re sane.
Adele Sharon looked dumbfounded at that action.
“under! I can’t believe I reacted like that when I saw Adele Sharon… “Oh, I can’t get used to this.”
When it appears in Atlaum, it is clamoring for you to just hold its hand.
The reaction of Baekgureum standing next to me was similar.
“I am a swordsman genius from the East… The rising sun of the East that the world looks up to… .”
However, as if they didn’t care about the two’s mutterings, Athena and Ares simultaneously gestured for the humans to be sent out, and then immediately turned their gaze to Damdeok and Jooyul.
[Well, the woman has higher physical strength… .]
[right? But the man’s energy is strange. Is there some kind of upper-level god’s energy mixed in? Hmm, that’s strange. He is clearly a low-level god.]
The two watched Damdeok and Ju Ju-yul intently.
Ares, who had been staring for a while, scratched the back of his head and shouted.
[ah! That’s it! Just get both of you up here! You’ll understand when you stick with it. I will only lend the training ground to one of the two who is stronger!]
At those words, Damdeok grinned and took a step forward, but Ju Soo-yul instead took a step back.
Damdeok looked at Jujuyul with a puzzled face.
“what’s the matter?”
“I’ll be back.”
“what? “Aren’t we training together?”
“Korea is going crazy right now with gates and dungeons. Someone needs to go and help. And those who are not gods cannot stay here for long.”
Baekgureum and Adele Sharon’s faces became even more astonished when they heard that they were not gods.
‘Well, now that I think about it, I guess so.’
No matter how great a swordsman genius Baekgureum is, this is a world of gods.
‘Adele Sharon still suffers from mana deficiency, so this position will be burdensome.’
Damdeok nodded.
When the ‘God’s Call’ power was released by launching the Gods’ system, Adele Sharon and Baek Cloud quickly disappeared, shouting, “A vicious business owner who only comes to you when you need it!!”
Soon after, the address rate system was turned on and started running on its own.
When Damdeok came up to the stadium alone, Ares made his face with shining eyes.
[Of course, it’s you? For some reason, the atmosphere was unusual. what? It has a strange energy.]
Hercules, standing next to him, smiled in agreement.
“right? He’s a very funny guy. “It’s not normal.”
[But how did you end up sparring with your uncle?]
Athena asked with a puzzled look, but Ares raised his sword and shield as if that didn’t matter.
[Well, it’s not something that happened yesterday or today, is it? Because he is a man with a twisted approach to everything. In any case, if you want to survive, you have to train with all your might! is not it?!]
[Anyway, Ares, are you simple? Am I stupid… .]
Athena shook her head with a pitiful expression.
Then, Hercules shrugged his shoulders with a kind smile.
“Well, I decided to find out the reason later. How about some practice sparring now?”
Ares’ eyes lit up at Hercules’ words and he shouted, “Of course!”
“Then let’s take it easy.”
Before he knew it, Hercules had a club in his hand. Athena also started spinning the spear, her long hair flowing.
Damdeok wordlessly held Baekseol, who had transformed into a sword, in his hands.
Four people are facing north, south, east and west.
“… … .”
The one who broke the momentary silence was Ares, who raised the corner of his mouth with a grin.
[Would you like to see my skills?]
