I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 104
#104. Demon Gate (3)
“....”
“....”
“....”
The companions’ silence.
Damdeok carefully approached the dog hole.
Something lying face down blocking the front of the opening.
Gray hair.
A black jeogori and skirt.
Two closed eyes.
It was difficult to see the entire face with its large body curled up, but
it was unmistakable.
“Grandma from the underworld...”
As soon as Damdeok muttered that, not only Jusoyul but also all the party members raised their weapons.
The cool sound of blades echoed quietly in the fog.
Nevertheless, the old woman in the underworld remained crouched without moving a muscle.
“Why... isn’t it moving?”
Damdeok said without taking his eyes off the crouching old woman from the underworld.
It was strange.
Isn’t that right?
I was so lively last time.
Didn’t he even break the system window and go through all sorts of hardships in the flower garden of Samsinhalmi?
But now, she was just hanging out like she was dead...
Damdeok stared at the old woman from the underworld, who was crouching in puzzlement.
‘What do you think you’re carrying...?’
The grandmother of the underworld’s back was tightly bent as if she was holding something precious inside the rich hanbok skirt.
‘...Aren’t there some monsters from hell hiding there?’
That thought suddenly occurred to me.
If it was a grandmother from the underworld, it was a very possible story.
‘Was there an ominous energy emanating from inside that skirt?’
gulp.
The dry saliva passed.
“Isn’t he just... dead? “I don’t feel any vitality at all.”
Adele Sharon, who was shining the light, responded cautiously.
Baekgureum, who was right behind him, refuted those words with gritted teeth.
“That’s nonsense. That old lady is a god who destroys systems. This is your base. Why are you dying? On top of that, they dug a hole like this... There are more than one suspicious thing. No, no. It’s very suspicious! “Brother, are you saying we have to attack them all at once and put an end to it?”
It made sense.
But what is this strange sense of heterogeneity?
Clearly, the appearance of the old woman from the underworld was extremely suspicious. And it wasn’t just that.
There isn’t a single monster that should be living inside the gate, the
middle wall connecting it to the demon world is broken like a hole, and
the old woman from the underworld is curled up alone with the hole blocked...
‘Is it right to just kill them?’
Honestly, I felt uncomfortable.
Not only did it not look like she was going to die from a single blow, but she thought she was hiding something under that skirt and attacked her so carelessly.
It was then.
“Why are you hesitating? It was an opponent who showed complete hostility. “I have to kill him when I get the chance.”
Ju Soo-yul took out a dagger, which was rare, and approached him with great strides.
‘He is the one who can destroy even the gods’ system. ‘I can’t keep you alive.’
The address rate was judged that way.
In my many past lives, I had no direct interaction with the Grandmother of the Underworld, so this was the first time I learned that she was able to destroy the system, but in any case, it was clear that the forgotten god known as the Grandmother of the Underworld was a very threatening being.
‘I don’t know what’s going on, but... I’d be grateful if you just crouched down like that.’
Even as Ju Ju-yul’s dagger was raised high above the head of the old woman from the underworld, she did not move a muscle.
“for a moment.”
Damdeok, who was watching, spoke quietly.
Everyone looked at Damdeok with puzzled eyes.
Damdeok was once again feeling the waves around him.
Intuition.
A place where you can feel an ominous energy.
There was definitely evil energy coming out of this hole, but...
“It’s not like you’re a grandmother from the underworld.”
It wasn’t.
The place where the ominous energy was emanating was not the width of the skirt of the crouching old woman from the underworld, but behind it.
“what do you mean?”
As he asked that question, the dagger of Ju Ju-yul was still pointed at the head of the old woman from the underworld.
“Get out of the way.”
It was the same concept as why the sun is called SUN.
‘It’s natural that the core core is in the body of the boss who oversees the gate.’
The with the core core may be a forgotten god or a common monster.
However, whichever of the two was the boss of the gate, their purpose was to use the core core to control the remaining monsters, decide where to open the gate, and publicize their existence to the world.
Moreover, when forgotten gods, rather than ordinary monsters, are the bosses of the gate, the gate core core is actively used to raise their spiritual power by making their names known.
‘He says he doesn’t know the specifics yet...’
Of course, Damdeok doesn’t know everything. However, you probably already understand the rough concept...
Despite Joo Ju-yul’s puzzled face, Damdeok was silently waiting for the old woman from the underworld’s answer.
[...gate core hack? You sound arrogant. Why are you looking for that from me? I am not the owner of this gate.]
Addressul’s pupils widened at the unexpected answer.
However, Damdeok, who actually asked the question, looked like he knew that would happen.
He calmly continued with the next question.
“Then the boss will be behind it?”
A place where you can feel an ominous energy.
Damdeok’s hand pointed precisely toward the demon world across from Grandmother of the Underworld.
‘....’
The old woman from the underworld’s crouching head slowly lifted up.
The black eyes stared at Damdeok for a few seconds and then rolled over to rest on Baek Gureum, who had a younger appearance among the group.
A look that lasts for a few seconds without saying anything.
White Cloud began swinging his sword and making threats.
“What you looking at! What you looking at! Mr. Quack!”
The old woman in the underworld stared at the white clouds even more intently, then slowly turned her gaze back to look at Damdeok.
[...I saved your life last time, so why did it crawl back in again?]
You saved my life.
It wasn’t you who saved my life, it was Grandma Samsin.
However, Damdeok remained silent and only said what he wanted to say.
“I told you. “I’m here to close this gate.”
Silence again.
The old woman in the underworld tossed and turned as if she had difficulty.
At that moment, I noticed something writhing within the wide width of the skirt.
Damdeok’s eyes narrowed.
[If you say you came to destroy the gate... then that means you killed everything here.]
“Yes. Now all we have to do is catch and kill the boss.”
A firm answer.
The dark eyebrows of the old woman from the underworld twitched.
Meanwhile, Damdeok’s eyes were still fixed on the suspicious width of the skirt.
[Cluck, click, goan... Come on. If you want to see the back, I’ll show you. Look carefully.]
The grandmother of the underworld slowly stood up.
At the same time, the black jeogori and skirt were pulled taut.
Damdeok’s eyes became even harsher.
‘It’s finally happening now...!’
The reason he didn’t attack and kept asking questions was because he wanted to check the back of the underworld old woman, but his more fundamental purpose was to attack inside that black skirt.
‘It was difficult to attack because it was crouched tightly.’
Rather than attacking without knowing anything, wouldn’t it be much more advantageous to start a fight by revealing the other side’s identity?
To be honest, I could feel the evil energy coming from behind. It was a demonic world, so it wasn’t strange to see anything there, but the inside of the hanbok skirt was too suspicious.
‘It’s closer to the energy of death rather than an evil energy.’
It was definitely true.
From earlier, wasn’t Elia’s gaze always focused on the width of the old woman’s skirt?
[Cluck, click....]
Eventually,
the old woman from the underworld slowly moved her large body, leaving her rich skirt defenseless.
‘now!’
Damdeok rushed forward and cut the bottom hem of her skirt. It wasn’t a
flashy
skill.
Intangible swordsmanship.
Follow the body’s lead and open the sword’s path to cut down in one go.
Not only the old woman in the underworld, but even Juryul could not react to what happened in an instant and only blinked.
Damdeok’s swordsmanship had improved so much.
[You...you bastard...!!]
The angry voice of the old woman from the underworld was heard, but Damdeok could not say anything.
The bottom of the skirt was cut off.
Inside....
“Aaaah!”
“crying!”
There were children.
Has he just turned six or seven?
Damdeok had no choice but to stand still.
