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!”
Quack!!
“The boss!”
Quack!
“Where are you?”
Kwakwakwak!
I didn’t feel any guilt or anything.
I was familiar with the cruelty of goblins through YouTube.
I swung my sword constantly and the goblins also kept running at me.
How much time has passed?
‘I’m a little tired…’
The number of goblins was greater than expected. Among them, not a single leader goblin has been seen yet.
‘I don’t think I’ll be able to use the dwarf hammer any more times…’
It’s not good as it is.
If the gate, unlike the dungeon, does not have a boss monster itself…
‘Did I just hit it in vain?’
It was a time when I was seriously considering going back.
Tsupat!
Fast moving green light ahead.
I came to my senses.
“Okay, I got it right.”
I ran towards the green light.
The small goblins blocking it wasn’t much of a threat. He advanced while swinging his sword.
In an instant, we reached the green light.
Two goblin eyes flickering in the dark.
“There was a boss after all?”
It had a much larger physique than an ordinary goblin. It is clear to anyone that this guy is the boss.
‘But you look a little anxious…?’
The situation was strange.
He was drooling and his eyes were half-glazed, as if he had been brainwashed…
– Kieek! Hey!
I don’t know if he spotted me or what, but he started swinging a spear as tall as me recklessly.
Honestly, there were too many loopholes.
“Tsk tsk, the guy called the captain…”
He easily dodged the crude spear strike and stepped on the spear pole with his right foot, breaking it.
I cut off the cry of the guy who backed away in embarrassment
– Ouch!
Blood spurted out everywhere.
It was an incredibly simple battle.
‘….’
I waited for a while, but no clear message came to mind.
“Hmm, I guess it’s different from the dungeon…”
I licked my appetite with regret.
All the other goblins around had already disappeared.
“Ah, is this really the end?”
I wandered around for a while out of disappointment.
“Ugh, I can’t help it. Then, at least this…”
I sat down near the guy’s body.
The core nucleus is planned to be extracted.
Even if it doesn’t destroy the gate, the core core will be good evidence that I killed the boss here.
Afraid that something like this might happen, I watched ‘How to extract a super simple monster core!’ hundreds of times on YouTube.
The first thing I did was cut the center of my chest with the tip of my sword and put my hand in.
“I thought it was usually located below the heart… Ugh.”
The feel of the soft internal organs is unpleasant.
In the video, the experts neatly extracted only the core, but when I did, all the tattered flesh and blood came out.
“Wow, damn it.”
It was a time when the stench was so bad that I held my nose.
Snap!
“…uh?”
The core suddenly slipped out of my hand.
It was absurd.
“What are you moving now…?”
The core that had fallen to the ground was squirming and crawling as best as it could.
“Hah, what is this…”
Now that I thought about it, the guy’s appearance was also strange. Originally, the core of a monster had a brilliant color like a jewel, such as blue, turquoise, and red.
But right now, that thing crawling hard on the ground just looked like black clay.
“Why is it so black?”
Anyway, I lightly pressed the tip with my sword to prevent him from escaping.
Dark matter trembles and flutters.
At the same time, Baek Seol, who had turned into a sword, expressed his displeasure with his whole body.
“Okay, Baek Seol. “Hold on a moment.”
That’s what I said, but honestly, I was also very uncomfortable.
‘I feel so bad when I look at it…’
Is it like seeing a rotting soul?
Anyway, it wasn’t a good feeling.
Ugh!
Snow White trembles.
I guess I really hate the idea of strange dark matter touching my body.
It seemed as if he was shouting at me to get it out of my sight right away, but I couldn’t.
Because,
“When I see this….”
I picked up the dark matter as if I was possessed.
As expected, a message comes to mind.
[Gate Core Hack]
Description: When destroyed, the gate can be permanently destroyed.
“…bingo!”
* * *
Valley near Gwanmosan Mountain.
The front of the rippling crack was filled with all kinds of people.
“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?”
