I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 61
#61. Ares’ Gladiator Arena (3)
Cheaeng!
Damdeok parried the flying sword and rolled to the side.
My body was already covered in sweat.
As soon as I dodged Ares’ attack, Athena’s sharp spear pierced me fiercely.
‘shit! ‘Why so fast!’
He barely managed to avoid it using his wind sprint skill, but this time Hercules blocked Damdeok’s path with his massive, muscular body.
“Where are you going? sibling?”
The grinning guy held a hard club in both hands.
‘I can’t believe someone that big is wielding such an ignorant thing.’
It was clear that even one hit would result in fatal injuries.
‘They’re all just monsters.’
Damdeok clenched his teeth and tried to get out of Hercules’ range.
However, Hercules boasted extremely fast speed that was befitting his size.
“Do you think you can run away?”
Damdeok suddenly heard a voice right behind him, reflexively turning his body and throwing a wave slash with all his might.
Kwakwakwakwakwa!!
The bluish sword energy hit the chasing Hercules’ body squarely.
“Ugh!”
Sigh! Hercules, who had been pushed back a few meters, slowly lowered his raised arms as if crouching.
The forearm was slightly red and swollen, but it did not appear to be fatal.
“It’s pretty good, isn’t it? A lesser god has this much power. “What powers have you bought?”
As Hercules lightly shook his arms and spoke, Damdeok’s expression naturally frowned.
‘It was a blow with all his might...’
Damdeok’s skill, which he was proud of as his special move, did not work at all.
Even though it was clearly correct, there were only shallow scratches.
Even though Hercules had high combat power, I had no idea that the difference in skill would be this much.
‘As expected, they are of different levels....’
Damdeok swallowed dryly as he looked alternately at Hercules and Ares Athena surrounding him.
The gods before my eyes and myself are literally on a different level.
Just as in the human world, hunters were classified from 1 to 9 stars according to their talents, in the world of gods there was also a scale for dividing absolute strength.
That’s right, divine power.
‘Compared to theirs, my physical strength is still at a low level.’
Not only is divine power absolutely necessary for handling power, but it is also a power commonly consumed in using all abilities, such as increasing strength, speed, and even the hardness of the skin.
It is literally a divine power that can be used in any way and is used anywhere.
In one way, the gods are classified into levels, starting from the lowest level, to the lower, middle, upper level, and up to the highest level, which is the peak of the gods.
‘It is impossible for me, a low-level god, to defeat gods who are several levels higher.’
Although I started sparring at Ares’ suggestion, it was still meaningless to spar with the highest gods without any restrictions on physical strength.
Not only was it impossible to win, but the gap was so wide that there was nothing to learn.
“wait a minute! It would be better to limit his spiritual power and spar again...”
As soon as he could ask Hercules to stop sparring, Ares’ sword violently grazed Damdeok’s right ear.
Huh!
[Hey, that doesn’t work. The order was wrong. In order! Show your true power first! uh? Next, it’s right to do training that limits your physical strength. Isn’t that right?]
Ares said and swung his sword fiercely.
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo shoo shoo!
The speed was so fast that it seemed like dozens of swords were flying.
A speed that the eye cannot follow.
All Damdeok could do was narrowly avoid them and break into a cold sweat.
As if everyone agreed with Ares’ words, even Athena and Hercules joined in again and the sparring of extreme difficulty continued.
“shit! What kind of sparring is this! This is just bullying! “The difference in skill is ridiculous to begin with, so does it make sense to fight like this?”
Damdeok protested by screaming loudly, but the rest of the gods just seemed to find this situation amusing.
puck! Burbubbuk! Plop!
Athena’s dazzling spear struck Damdeok’s body again and again.
Hercules’ heavy punches and club blows followed, and as Ares showed off his sword skills like a madman with great excitement, Damdeok was literally on the verge of falling.
The good news is that the gods control their power and attack?
‘Thank goodness! Are these people planning to play with me?!’
Their movements were too distant for low-level rookie Damdeok to follow.
[...is it better than expected?]
[He’s such a tough guy!]
“He’s sparring with Hades, how can he be an ordinary guy?”
Apart from Damdeok, who was very strong, Athena and Ares Hercules were amazed that Damdeok was able to withstand all their attacks without falling.
[I think this is enough testing, should we stop?]
The real power of ‘talent’.
The only things that are popular in the Gods’ Shop are powers and legendary weapons.
Aren’t there full of product reviews saying that all talents and skills are trash that only lowly humans use?
Ares would never realize that Damdeok had seen through his swordsmanship in that short period of time.
[...I really don’t care.]
Ares closed his mouth and charged again.
Much faster speed than before.
Although the speed was impossible to follow with the eyes, Damdeok once again avoided Ares’ attack.
Huh!
The next attack too.
And the next attack.
Huh! Huh! Huh!
[damn!! What the hell!! What!!] As
Ares lost his composure and swung faster, Damdeok concentrated all his attention on dodging rather than fighting back.
‘Even if you can’t follow it with your eyes, you can clearly see what attack will come next.’
Because Ares repeatedly demonstrated his sword skills step by step, Damdeok was able to clearly see what moves Ares would make next.
‘After the upper cut, always stab. After the diagonal cut, always make a horizontal cut.’
Ares himself may not know it, but his swordsmanship had no deceptive moves to deceive his opponents.
It’s just a swordsmanship that repeats the same movements and patterns every time.
[Gasp...Gasp...You bastard...!]
Ares’ sword barely reached Damdeok every time.
The mouths of Athena and Hercules, who were watching, were already wide open.
[You bastard! I hid my skills!]
Red energy slowly bloomed from Ares.
Unusual energy.
Damdeok immediately put his sword down on the floor and lightly raised his hands.
“Stop it. “It’s surrender.”
[What... what?! Why all of a sudden?]
Damdeok shrugged his shoulders and simply replied that he had exhausted all his strength.
Ares looked like he had just pooped, but he was the god of war, so he couldn’t force a weaker god to fight more.
[Tch...]
Eventually, Ares turned around.
‘No matter how much you know the next move, you can’t stop Ares when he comes out at full power.’
That’s obvious.
It is not for nothing that people suffer even when they know.
Since I had some understanding of Ares’ swordsmanship, the result of this sparring was satisfactory.
Whick!
With a whistle, Hercules approached with a bright face.
“Hey brother! It’s so amazing! “I can’t dodge Ares’ attacks properly either.”
Athena, who was standing behind, was also looking at Damdeok with quite surprised eyes.
‘It seems like this unintentionally made a very deep impression.’
It was a good thing.
In the future, you will have to absorb not only Ares’ sword skills but also the movements of Hercules and Athena to be able to face Hades.
[...What kind of god are you?]
Athena asked, approaching before I knew it.
Damdeok smiled.
“It’s the Sword God.”
[The god of the sword...]
Athena, who was thinking hard about something, seemed to have suddenly remembered something and said with a grin.
[If you are a sword god, you can use all kinds of sword skills, right?]
“Yes?”
Damdeok did not understand what Athena meant.
[That Ares guy is too simple and Hercules is only strong, so it’s been a long time since I’ve seen proper swordsmanship.]
Athena’s eyes sparkled.
Eyes filled with deep curiosity.
[Let’s compete properly with me too. Are you okay?]
Athena loosened her hair and slowly lifted the bluish spear tip.
“yes? “Now?”
I had already used too much strength.
If Damdeok fights like this, he could get seriously injured...
But before Damdeok could reply, it was Athena who fiercely aimed the tip of her flashing spear.
[You’ll have to do your best. I’m different from that idiot.]
As soon as she finished speaking, Athena’s spear blade moved quickly.
