I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 17
#17. Feeding Cerberus (4)
“There was something like this.”
As I slowly lifted the leash, Persephone, who was far away, approached me as if possessed.
“I heard it was dark under the lamp... I never thought it was hidden in a place like this.”
Persephone looked at the leash with a vain look on her face.
“How on earth did you find this?”
How...
if I had to say,
“...by feeling?”
“under. Nonsense.”
Damdeok asked back at Persephone’s empty laugh.
“Is this such a great leash?”
If you look at the number of stars assigned to the system, it is on the same level as Hercules’ club, but honestly, it is just an ordinary dog leash.
“of course. Cerberus is a symbol of the underworld. “Handling Cerberus is no different from dealing with the entire underworld.”
“But isn’t this a Hades thing?”
“Yes.”
“Then, as a part-time worker, I can’t use it?”
There was silence for a moment.
Persephone burst into laughter.
“does not matter. “I didn’t find it for you.”
“Is that true?”
“is it so. My husband also told me to look for the leash whenever he got the chance. “He said he would help you tame Cerberus if you really found him...”
Persephone’s expression as she said those words was completely sullen.
‘It seems like a lot has been accumulated from my husband.’
Anyway, thanks to this, I had a chance to do whatever I wanted to that arrogant guy.
Of course, looking at the conditions, it didn’t seem easy...
[Condition: You must first subdue the target to be able to put a leash on him.]
“Suppress?”
Below, in small letters, it is written that subdued means dragged into unconsciousness.
‘You mean to knock him out?’
It made no sense to stun Cerberus with my original skills.
But I think I can do it now. Anyway, I was still invincible and now I could use divine power.
“What are you going to do?”
Persephone asked with sparkling eyes.
It seemed like he was expecting something.
What kind of feeling is vicarious satisfaction?
“of course.”
When Damdeok answered with a grin, Persephone nodded in satisfaction.
Cerberus must have chased all the dead to the gate of the underworld and was wandering around the broken pillar.
The three heads were still bobbing arrogantly.
I grasped the thick leash tightly.
‘Your arrogance ends today.’
If the training goes well, should we encourage them to obey Persephone’s words?
‘Hades would be quite upset if he found out.’
Does not matter.
I won’t be here by then.
“hey. “Dog-
meong”!
Damdeok came out in front of Cerberus holding a leash.
– Crrrrr!
The guy had an arrogant expression on his face and waved his front paw as if telling him to go away.
“I guess I’ve lost interest now that Damdeok is invincible.”
Just as Persephone said.
He doesn’t try to bite me anymore.
‘That doesn’t mean I’m any less arrogant, but...’
It seemed like he instinctively knew that I was weaker than him.
But
“the situation is different from before.”
First, I transformed Baekseol into a sword to see if I could inflict a wound and took the pose.
Sreung!
A sharp, shining dragon slayer sword.
Divine power slowly gathering in both arms.
It was definitely different.
The overall feeling is firmer and heavier.
– Crrrrr?
Cerberus slowly raised its head as if it sensed that it was about to attack.
At the same time, the nymphs, under Persephone’s instructions, swarmed in and grabbed hold of the pillar.
– Cough! Wow!
When Cerberus’ teeth came right in front of my face, I quickly threw myself between the creature’s front paws.
He rolled over to the side and quickly swung his sword.
Squeak!
Lightly cut hair.
Its black fur fluttered in the air.
“Good!”
Even though it wasn’t a major injury, the possibility was high enough.
It was completely different from before, when I didn’t have a single wound.
‘As expected, there is a big difference between using divine power and not using it.’
When I concentrated my spiritual power on my arms, I felt like I could finish anything, and when I concentrated on my legs, my body, which became as light as a feather, developed explosive speed.
Not only did the overall strength increase, but all movements became more efficient.
– Crrrrr....
“You will only find out when you wake up.”
Persephone, looking somewhat excited, approached and spoke.
“The leash becomes effective the moment the person wearing it recognizes it as the owner.”
“Hmm, the only way to check is to wait in person.”
Damdeok muttered with his arms crossed.
“When are you going to wake up?...”
“Just relax and wait. You, a low-level rookie, can accomplish something that even I couldn’t do. “I’m a little embarrassed.”
Damdeok laughed quietly at her words. This is because I know that he is saying this intentionally to praise himself.
‘If it weren’t for Hades’ restrictions, she would have defeated Cerberus and escaped the underworld long ago...’
In any case, she is also one of the gods who rules the underworld.
“There is one more problem.”
Persephone’s voice suddenly became serious.
“What’s the problem?”
“Now that Cerberus is unconscious, the dead will come.”
Damdeok’s eyebrows twitched.
“...Didn’t you kick them all out earlier?”
As soon as he finished speaking, something like the sound of horse hooves was heard behind the gate of the underworld.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo!!
“It arrived sooner than expected. “Because the husband was away at the time, the will of the dead to escape became even stronger.”
Persephone began gesturing urgently.
Like everything!
The nymphs took out their weapons from the warehouse and lined them up.
Persephone shouted calmly.
“We have to stop it together. “The day even one dead person escapes, your life will be in danger.”
What she said was that Hades wouldn’t hold his wife and the nymphs responsible anyway, and would ultimately blame everything on me, the part-time worker.
“No, where is that...”
“Come! “Don’t let even one person cross the River Styx!”
Persephone was already holding a sword and running toward the gates of the underworld.
“No, wait a minute...”
Damdeok couldn’t continue his words.
The dead were already sticking their heads out from above the huge gate of the underworld.
Hudu-du-du-du-dap!
The dead were throwing their bodies down so recklessly that it was hard to tell if they were jumping or just falling.
puck! Pow! puck!!
The sounds of something breaking and breaking were heard one after another.
Despite the tremendous noise, the dead were able to easily get up and move forward.
“Ugh, it looks creepy!”
Appears the same as a normal human.
However, as it fell and hit, its limbs were twisted grotesquely and its internal organs were bursting out.
“It’s a zombie!”
Yes, they were similar to the zombies in the movie.
Damdeok swung his sword frantically.
Is it fortunate or unfortunate?
The fighting power of the dead was almost non-existent, so it felt similar to cutting down a standing straw bale.
“Why are there so many!”
There was no end to cutting and cutting.
It felt the same as when I cut the white hands in the River Styx earlier.
As I was cutting frantically, skill messages were also appearing one after another in front of my eyes.
[ The skill has evolved into !]
[ The skill has been created!]
[ A skill has been created!]
“Okay, at least you need to develop a lot of fighting skills.”
Is it because he was crowned Sword God?
Originally, only EF-level skills were created, but now, skills that are one or two steps ahead of the first skill are starting to appear.
“Are you going to cross on that?”
The dead attempted to float a long log on the River Styx, and each time, the ‘wind sprint’ created thanks to Cerberus came in handy.
“No one can go out.”
Sigh!
Several afterimages of Damdeok appeared and surrounded the entire end of the river.
“go back. “Anyone who comes towards the river will definitely die!”
As Damdeok’s words suddenly increased to dozens, the dead hesitated and retreated.
‘This is good in its own way.’
I’ve already gained a lot of useful skills.
‘I also knew how to use divine power.’
Swordsmanship also became smoother.
I had a clear feeling that I was getting stronger, so I was excited to fight.
“yes. “Everyone, please go home quietly.”
Damdeok’s afterimages gradually narrowed the distance.
The nymphs who were lining up the dead, who were watching, killed them with a single sword.
“Nice play.”
After that, it was all smooth sailing.
In the end, not a single dead person could cross the River Styx.
“It’s simple.”
I was afraid of being killed by Hades, so I gritted my teeth and blocked them, but I felt proud when I actually defeated that many people.
“How is it. This is a perfect defense, right? My life was saved. haha.”
I expected to hear a kind reply from Persephone soon, but for some reason I couldn’t hear anything.
“Persephone? Why is there no answer...”
Damdeok, who glanced back, had no choice but to remain frozen.
Logs thrown by the dead earlier.
Persephone riding it was moving away in the distance.
Waving both hands brightly.
“Hey Mr....”
