I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 12
#12. Gate Destruction (3)
“It’s spooky.”
The inside of the cave was dark.
Darkness where not a single ray of light enters.
Damdeok was moving forward, relying only on his fumbling hands.
‘Did I come in here for no reason...’
I entered confidently with the goal of destroying the gate, but I felt a little uneasy.
‘Is there really something here?’
How can they destroy the gate when they can’t see even an inch ahead?
– will!! will!!
Suddenly, Baek Seol started a game.
“Oh, what a surprise! what’s the matter?!”
Snow White sneaked down and hid behind me.
I suddenly got goosebumps.
‘I heard that animals see things like ghosts. Could it be...’
He quickly shook his head.
That doesn’t make sense. What kind of ghosts are....
“Baek Seol, please let’s go quietly. quietly···.”
– will!! will!!
Ha, my heart feels like it’s going to fall out.
“Hey, you really...”
In the end, I transformed him into a sword and silenced him.
Ugh!
Although I cried constantly in my hands...
“Hey, it’s my palja.”
I moved forward little by little, tapping my sword on the floor like a cane.
Soon it was
rustling!
I felt a presence in the dark.
‘Is it a monster?’
booth! Boom!
Since I can’t see anything, tension rises.
‘Let’s stay calm because if you can’t see yourself, the other person can’t see you either.’
I took a long, deep breath and concentrated my senses.
I can hear it.
Numerous footsteps moving in front.
Countless···?
“Hey!”
As I swung my sword in surprise, something was immediately sliced open.
– Kieeek!
The sound of footsteps running away in a hurry.
The combat concentration skill was repeated.
They must have known that they were no match for them, so the more they swung their swords, the more they ran away.
As I gradually got used to the darkness, I began to see whitish green shapes.
The goblin
had a familiar appearance.
“...Goblin.”
The tension eased a little.
I’ve already beaten them to the point of exhaustion in the labyrinth dungeon.
Squeak! Burbubbuk!
Talent in swordsmanship and martial arts.
A spectacular movement combining two talents poured out towards the goblins.
As I was moving through the cave almost like dancing, I was able to find out one interesting fact.
‘It’s definitely different from the dungeon monsters...’
If dungeon monsters are like programmed robots, do these guys really feel like living intelligences?
So, these are people who realize the difference in skill between me and run away while keeping an eye on me.
It was a detail that could not be imagined in a dungeon.
Dungeon monsters just attack again and again.
‘Well, the gods created dungeons that way, so it’s only natural...’
Then, it means that the gate is not an artificial space like a dungeon.
‘There was definitely nothing like creating a gate on the part-time job list.’
So what exactly is a gate?
One thing is certain: unlike the clean and comfortable atmosphere of the dungeon, this is a truly eerie place filled with shady and ominous energy.
‘It’s an environment I want to leave immediately.’
But you can’t leave until you find the goblin leader.
Defeating the boss monster is the key to clearing.
‘Of course, I don’t know if gates apply the same as dungeons, but...’
As of now, this was the only method to try.
“Boss~ Boss~ Where are you hiding~?”
He put his sword on his shoulder and started walking in the direction the guys were running away from.
All living things have a homing instinct, so wouldn’t you come across the captain’s base as you go?
I noticed a guy hiding only his head in a crevice in the rock over there.
“Evie!”
– Keek?!
The guy got scared and tried to run away, but my hands were faster.
“Where are you going?”
The guy who was grabbed by the back of the neck started to howl. I think he would make a good hostage.
As expected, when the cries were heard, the goblins ahead stopped moving.
“Yes, yes, goblins have a deep sense of kinship, right?”
I gave strength to the hand I was holding.
The guy cried out louder. The eyes of the goblins who were running away at that sound changed.
‘About twenty in the front... There are ten coming back in the back...’
As soon as he could finish his thought, goblins rushed in from all directions.
Honestly, there was nothing special.
Quack!!
With one hit from the dwarf hammer, they crumbled like cookies.
“how!”
“Hey, I said I had a scoop, right? “Are you going to have a bite later?”
“Okay man. But are you sure you really saw it? I can’t believe it when I hear it, so...”
“Oh, it’s true, man! “There are more than one person who has already seen it!”
Broadcasting station officials who came down from Seoul said,
“Shouldn’t we stop the doctor? “If this becomes known to the public in real time, there will be great confusion.”
“That’s it! “The entire academic community will be criticized for spreading incorrect common sense.”
Renowned dungeon & gate research scholars.
“Chairman. What should I do?”
“Let’s just wait and see.”
Finally, high-ranking figures from the Hunter Association.
They were looking at the crack from different perspectives.
“uh?! “It’s coming out!!”
Everyone’s attention was drawn together by someone’s shout.
A crack that flutters
little by little .
The gentle swaying became increasingly rough, followed by...
“Puh-haa!”
A man appeared.
A man sticking his head out from a crack in the air.
For an instant, people’s mouths opened.
It was truly a shocking sight.
“Oh, as expected, a lot has come.”
As the man smiled sheepishly, the scene instantly turned into chaos.
The man frowned for a moment at the barrage of questions, then smiled brightly.
“Haha, let me get out first...”
The man twisted his body around and jumped out of the crack.
“After all, the outside air is different.”
A man lightly moving his body back and forth, tapping his feet.
People could not help but be astonished.
“Through the ring of cracks...”
“It’s not like passing through some kind of hula hoop...”
After a short period of time, the reporters’ shouts continued again.
Starting with ‘Who are you? Where do you belong? Are you Korean?’ to direct questions such as ‘Did you really go through the gate? Tell me what it’s like inside. Is this some kind of trick?’
Damdeok shook his head.
“No, that’s not what’s important right now.”
The reporters’ eyes widened.
The expressions on their faces asked, “Then what is important?”
“What’s important now is that humanity...”
I deliberately dragged out the last words.
Wouldn’t it be fun to say all the highlights all at once?
People’s eyes eagerly followed the shape of my mouth.
Damdeok smiled leisurely and spoke calmly.
“Now humanity... can destroy the Gate.”
The sudden bombshell remark turned the scene upside down.
“Destroy green onions?!”
“That word can clear the gate like a dungeon. “Is that what you mean?!”
“Please explain in more detail!”
Amidst all the noise, Damdeok quietly raised one hand.
It was the hand holding the core.
“Does everyone know what this is?”
People look at their hands curiously. But no one knew what it was.
The wriggling dark matter was something professional reporters had never seen before.
“Let me take this opportunity to speak clearly.”
I held on tightly to the edge of dark matter.
As the material began to wriggle, several people let out cries of disgust.
‘Good atmosphere.’
This momentum was used to release the dark matter it was holding in midair.
Falling dark wiggler.
I swung the sword at the highest speed I could swing.
Swordsmanship that looks as cool and cool as possible.
He didn’t forget to keep the sword that split the air still standing still and look at the camera in front of him.
Paang!
The dark twitch burst out helplessly with a sound.
Then, the gate that was shaking also....
Gurgling! Paang!
With the sound of a balloon popping, it disappeared without a trace.
“....”
No one spoke. Everyone just opened their mouths.
One reporter barely muttered.
“Who the hell are you...”
This was the question I had been waiting for.
He put away his sword and quietly muttered.
“you. wall. virtue.”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on me.
“My name is Yu Dam-deok.”
Perhaps because of the quiet scene, the name resonated particularly loudly.
“Yoo Damdeok?”
“If it’s Yu Damdeok....”
“Isn’t that the hunter from the labyrinth dungeon?”
As people started chattering, a pleasant message appeared before my eyes.
[Your spiritual power increases rapidly!]
[You have achieved 5,000 spiritual power!]
[You have achieved 6,000 spiritual power!]
And
[Vamparabam!]
[Awesome! You have achieved 10,000 spiritual strength!!]
[Congratulations! Damdeok Yu! He ascends from ‘lowest level god’ to ‘lower level god’!]
“...What? Low level god?”
