I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 85
#85. Fear of the Underworld Grandmother (2)
[Your application has been received!]
A white light emanated from the system and encroached on the surroundings.
The black old woman’s hand that was digging into her chest stopped.
Damdeok internally cheered in victory.
It’s not exactly a victory, it’s a success in escaping… but anyway.
‘Thanks to Hercules’ lion armor, the penetration speed was slow.’
It stung, but it was not fatal. Wounds like this will heal quickly thanks to the self-healing power.
‘Let’s take cover first and then come up with a strategy together with the kids.’
Because it’s better with others than alone.
“I’m not running away right now, so just wait.”
The moment Damdeok said that with a grin,
the old woman’s black eyes were bent like half moons.
[Cluck, this kid is pulling a cute trick.]
Wedge!
It was an instant.
The black grandmother’s blade-like hand stopped in front of Damdeok’s eyes.
It felt like time had stopped for a moment. My vision, which had been completely white, suddenly shattered.
“That doesn’t make sense… I never heard anything like this was possible?”
Damdeok looked at the hand that had come right in front of him with trembling eyes.
The black grandmother’s blade-like hand was piercing the gods’ system window.
[Samsinhal… Chijik! To Seocheon Flower Field… crackle! Moving… Impossible crackling…!]
“There’s no way it’s possible to destroy the system… Who the hell are you…”
At that question, the black old woman’s eyes became even more disgusting.
[What is my identity? Cluck, cluck, I like the skin of babes like you the most… I. Win. will do. [Mi.]
The smell of death from the grinning grandmother of the underworld is evil! It spurted out.
Darkness was spreading out in all directions, as if black flames were swirling, or even thicker than that.
I was out of breath again.
Terrible fear.
A feeling of helplessness welled up to my chin.
‘Damn, this feeling… even back then…’
Unpleasant memories slowly came to mind.
The red demon world beyond the gate… Juso-yul’s embarrassed face… The face of a black figure approaching from afar…
‘Asmodeus… It’s similar to when I faced that demon…’
To be precise, Asmodeus of the demon world. Although I was a few steps ahead, the level of fear I felt as I faced the forgotten god from this close was no joke.
‘…Whether it’s Asmodeus or the grandmother of the underworld, neither of them are opponents I can do anything about right now…’
Wasn’t that the same for Ju Ju-yul? He says he can’t fight Asmodeus with his current skills. I have to give up my part-time job in the Demon World. So I got Excalibur and immediately left to meet Ettin…
I never thought that after defeating the devil, a Korean evil spirit would appear right away.
‘The forgotten god of our country…’
Damdeok barely raised his head and looked at the grandmother of the underworld in front of him.
The eyes of the grandmother of the underworld, who was looking at herself with a grin, were filled with the black blood of the dead bodies.
[okay. That’s the look. A child’s expression of fear…! Cluck, cluck.]
The black eyes of the old woman from the underworld who was giggling and laughing trembled! It went back and started showing dozens of faces.
[ruler! Look! These are the final moments of the countless children I killed! A little boy looking for his mom! A soldier clutching his severed leg! A husband looking for a wife! Hunters begging for their lives! Cluck, cluck, all humans make the same facial expressions. On the other hand, what about monsters? How colorful! These faces of distortion, pain, anger, and evil deeds!!]
The underworld grandmother’s eyes bulged as if they were about to explode.
The images of countless corpses before death were magnified and reflected like a magnifying glass.
“stop!!!”
Damdeok screamed with his eyes tightly closed.
I was so disgusted that I couldn’t watch it any longer.
The grandmother of the underworld’s eyes blinked again and returned to a state of nothingness where nothing was reflected.
Even though she was seeing terrible things in her eyes, the grandmother of the underworld had a calm expression, as if she didn’t feel any emotions.
[Hmm, yes, you shouldn’t talk too much at the dinner table. [Am…]
The grandmother of the underworld slowly approached.
Damdeok raised his trembling hand and swung the sword with all his might.
Struggling with fear, I felt helpless, like I was a kindergartener.
“Do not be ridiculous. “A grandmother from the underworld… I’ve never even heard of such a god in my life!!”
Huh!
Huh!
It was a meaningless stabbing.
The grandmother of the underworld did not even think about avoiding Damdeok’s sword.
Kagagak!
The sword trembled as it was held in place by bloodless fingers.
‘damn…! damn…!’
I felt like crying.
The difference in power is such that even the gods’ system is broken and they can’t even think of resisting….
I widen my red eyes.
‘If this happens, I won’t die alone…!’
If a monster of this size, whether it was an old woman from the underworld or not, came out of the fog, Seoul would be at an end that day.
“Don’t look down on people!!”
[ Cast the skill!]
[ Cast the skill!]
[ Casting the skill!]
I poured out the skills at the fastest speed I have ever used.
It’s literally everything that I put my all into! These were deadly attacks.
“Aaaah!! die!! “You monster!!”
After pouring out all his skills, he even took out the club of Hercules from behind his back without any delay.
“Whether it’s the grandmother of the underworld or the Jade Emperor, if you hit the earthen pot with this, it’ll be over in one hit!!”
Wedge!
Hercules’ club flew quickly towards the head of the grandmother of the underworld.
Even in that split second,
I thought, ‘I’m relaxed just for once. ‘Fuck you…’
He was really gathering all his soul to attack, but the grandmother of the underworld was relaxed and was just grinning as if she was watching a fun banquet.
In an instant, the heat rose and I gained even more strength.
“Fuck!! “Fuck Jangyuyuseo!!”
The last attack you can make. If this failed, it was truly the end.
‘please! Live!’
He shouted with his eyes closed and hit the club with all his might.
Kwakwakwakkwak!! You should hear a huge roar… but for some reason, you can’t hear anything.
Plus, it feels like my body is floating in the air…?
“what…?”
Damdeok slowly opened his eyes and his mouth opened slightly.
[Ugh! Such insolence…!!]
Right at his feet, the grandmother of the underworld was lying down, bleeding profusely from her head.
“…What happened? Did it work?”
As Damdeok looked around in the air, he felt a warm hand on his back.
[Inum, get out of the way.]
Nice scent.
The scent of all the flower fields in the world seemed to pass by my nose.
The back of an unknown grandmother is immediately visible in front of you. It was an old woman dressed in hemp clothes as warm as the spring sunlight.
“Uh… no way you…”
[Tsk tsk. What are you to Grandma? Anyway, young people these days….]
The grandmother’s warm voice came as if tickling my ears.
I felt like my whole body was being purified.
I applied for a part-time job, but when I asked why he wasn’t showing up, I heard a series of blunt comments asking me what I was doing here.
‘Did you come to save me? ‘Are you worried about your part-time job?’
I guess Grandma Samsin is a tsundere.
I wanted to say thank you, but my voice didn’t come out properly.
‘I can’t hold on any longer…’
My consciousness is becoming increasingly blurred.
Is it because I put all my strength into it?
Or is it because you feel relaxed thanks to strong support?
In any case, after Grandmother Samsin appeared, the fear of death completely disappeared.
‘It’s warm…’
The warm energy surrounding the body felt cozy, as if it were inside a mother’s womb. The old woman from the underworld stood up,
covering her head, and shouted.
[Again! Again! You damn old woman! Are you here to steal my child? !]
[Tsk, tsk. What have you stolen from me, you psychotic old woman? You were supposed to be quiet in the underworld, so why did you come crawling out again….] [
What?!]
At that moment, the sound of the grandmother of Samsin and the grandmother of the underworld fighting fiercely sounded like a heavenly chord. It felt far away.
Even though something was breaking right in front of me and a flash of light was shooting out,
‘Ah, it feels good. Just stay like this a little longer…’
To Damdeok’s ears, all of that just sounded like a lullaby.
In that way, Damdeok slowly lost consciousness.
* * *
“…Uhm.”
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw familiar faces.
Address rate, White Cloud, Adele Sharon and… Leo Lux.
“…Why is that human being here?”
“That human being. Aren’t those words a bit harsh?”
“Ah, stop saying what’s in your heart.”
“I’m still saying it…”
“…”
Damdeok frowned and stood up.
He looked at himself in the familiar room. It was a house.
“What happened?”
Ju Soo-yul asked.
“What?”
“You were lying alone in the fog.”
“Really?”
“That’s not true, bro! The black fog suddenly cleared and you were alone. So, you said he collapsed?”
Baekgureum spoke passionately. Adele Sharon, who was next to him, nodded and agreed.
“That’s right. And there were a lot of mutilated corpses… You, the evil business owner… I got confused and said you were a monster. You didn’t kill all the people, right?”
Leo Lux’s thick eyebrows twitched at those words. His
eyes were burning with a sense of justice, as if he had not yet let go of his suspicions about the monster hunter.
“What nonsense… Ugh. .”
“…Are you okay?”
Damdeok looked down at his throbbing chest in response to Joo-yul’s question.
‘The wound is almost healed.’
The dizzying pain was still felt, as if it had been imprinted with extreme fear.
Still, the Lion of Hercules I was very fortunate that it ended like this thanks to the armor.
“Grandma of the Underworld… Asmodeus….”
Ju Ju-yul’s eyes wavered as Damdeok muttered.
“The underworld…Grandma…?”
“Asmo… what?”
White Cloud and Adele Sharon’s eyes became round. They both seemed to have no idea what they were talking about.
Damdeok was speechless.
As I remembered the situation from before, my hands started shaking uncontrollably.
Ju Soo-yul looked down at Damdeok without saying a word.
‘It’s faint, but traces of the curse of fear still remain. I guess I came here after meeting the old woman from the underworld.’
I had a guess from the first time I saw that black fog.
Grandmother of the underworld.
A typical evil god who was kicked out by the Jade Emperor for being jealous of the Samsinhalma who was the guardian of the baby. He lives in the fog of the underworld that is created every time he breathes and eats all living things that enter it.
‘For a forgotten god to appear even in our country…’
It was a bad sign.
In all past lives, forgotten gods appeared in Korea and soon after, a war of gods broke out.
‘Fortunately, it looks like Grandmother Samsin somehow found out and took care of it…’
By the time I entered the fog to pull out Damdeok, who had jumped in like a moth to fire, the situation had already been resolved.
When the situation turned unfavorable, Grandmother of the underworld immediately ran into the gate, and Grandma Samsin suddenly disappeared as soon as she saw Juryul.
‘Anyway, I’m glad I came back alive from that vicious old woman from the underworld…’ As expected,
something was strange about this life.
It was my first time meeting a grandmother from the underworld in this way, and it was truly unusual for a forgotten god to appear in Korea so quickly.
‘There are a lot of things that are unusually unpredictable…’
It was uncomfortable, but I couldn’t hesitate here.
“…I don’t think we’ve fully recovered yet, so let’s all go out first. “Get some rest.”
Ju So-yul was planning to think about his future plans.
Baekgureum smiled brightly and suddenly turned his face towards Damdeok.
“Hyung, if you’re not feeling better yet, how about some sparring with me in the evening? I think I could win now… Ugh! “Why are you hitting me?”
As Ju Ju-yul looked at him coldly, Baek Gu-reum hurriedly turned around and creaked out the door.
“Tsk tsk. I thought it was you. Hey little prosecutor! “If it’s sparring, how about a match with me?”
Adele Sharon followed suit, and Leo Lux, who was looking at Damdeok with uneasy eyes, also quietly walked out the door.
Finally, as Ju Soo-yul was about to leave, Damdeok muttered quietly.
“Address rate. Talk to me for a moment.”
