I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 102
#102. Demon Gate (1)
“If you call someone, say something.”
Elia, who was grabbed by the shoulder, looked at Damdeok and said that.
But Damdeok had no choice but to swallow back what he wanted to say.
“….”
The name Pandora suddenly came to mind in the stream of unconsciousness just now.
“Pandora’s box, which will bring true disaster, has not yet been opened.”
“Find Pandora. If you find him, you will gain the strength to face the world.”
According to Prometheus’ prophecy, Pandora is a being that brings disaster, but is also a being that has the power to face the world.
In short, it was said to be a being with more power than anyone else.
I don’t know the extent of Elia’s true power, but he was a sufficiently doubtful candidate.
‘Because he is an unknown upper-class god and uses the gods’ system even though he is a human.’
Aren’t there just one or two strange things?
However, there was one strong error in the assumption that Elia was Pandora.
“Pandora is not a ‘woman’ in mythology.”
Prometheus clearly said that the Pandora in the prophecy was not a ‘woman’.
But no matter who sees Elia in front of them….
“Why aren’t you saying anything? “If you have nothing to say, let go of this.”
Elia shook off Damdeok’s hand.
Then, he looked at Ju Soo-yul and Damdeok alternately with a look of disapproval.
“…Now that I see it, do you two listen to other people? It’s not worth listening to what a stranger says. What is this? “Do you think everything I say is a lie?”
When Elia said that, Jooyul gestured to Damdeok as if he was no longer worth dealing with.
It was a gesture to leave this kid alone and mind our own business, but Damdeok wanted to solve the powerful curiosity that arose now.
“You…”
“Why on earth have you been yelling at me since a while ago and not talking? “Are you going to ask me how great it is?”
Ju Soo-yul’s eyes became anxious again at Elia’s behavior, which was different from the first time.
Ju Soo-yul pretended to be calm and grabbed Damdeok’s arm.
“Don’t deal with it and just go. We have a lot of work to do in the future. “If you listened to everything this kid said…”
“Wait a minute.”
Damdeok took Jusoyul’s hand away and took a step forward.
“Are you a girl?”
“what?”
Elia asked back as if it were absurd.
The address rate was the same.
What kind of nonsense is he talking about now?
They both looked at Damdeok at the same time with these eyes.
“Are you a woman? Well, he was a male when he was born, but how can he change with medical technology… Isn’t that like that?”
Damdeok was more serious than ever.
Elia’s face was now going from absurd to absurd.
Looking at Elia who was speechless and unable to say anything, Damdeok realized that his guess was nonsense.
‘Well, there’s no way we’d find Pandora this quickly.’
According to Prometheus’s words, if you find Pandora, you will gain the power to take on the world.
Isn’t such a great skill usually obtained by defeating the final boss or discovering hidden stages in hidden dungeons?
‘If you get it easily, it won’t be the Pandora of the prophecy. cancer.’
Damdeok nodded and turned around.
Elia shouted in a slightly embarrassed voice.
“Hey, you’re just leaving like this?”
“Then what? Since you are a foreigner, you may not read the news in our country, but there is a lot of chaos in the middle of Seoul right now because of the mutant gate. “I don’t have time to stay here like this.”
In fact, my phone was on fire with text messages from earlier.
All are summons orders for disaster situations.
After a few discussions with Juryul, I was about to go straight to destroy the gate, but strangely enough, Elia intervened and I was delayed like this.
‘As long as this guy isn’t Pandora, that’s fine.’
This is the end of my curiosity.
Of course, I was curious about the fact that Elia was human and how he came to use the gods’ system, but what can I do if the person in question doesn’t tell me even if I ask?
‘Then that’s the end.’
I didn’t want to waste time.
In the midst of this, Damdeok held up his cell phone and said, remembering the missed call from Namgung Do-eok.
“Priority. “We will solve this first.”
After saying that, Damdeok turned around and walked away.
Elia spit out the words as if holding them back.
“…you really. Aren’t you curious about his identity at all? “Aren’t you going to listen?”
“ah.”
Damdeok turned around again.
“Identity? “What, the address rate is not a prophet?”
A sour tone of voice.
In fact, the topic did not interest Damdeok.
After seeing the fragment of memory, he had already developed the hypothesis that Ju Ju-yul might have been reincarnated infinitely like himself.
‘If everything recorded in the system is true, Joo-ryul and I have been continuously reincarnated for 1869 times.’
Perhaps the decisive reason why he can handle the gods’ system lies in his past life.
Of course, we don’t know the exact reason yet, but we can already guess at various possibilities.
Elia asked back, taken aback by Damdeok’s behavior of asking so calmly.
“…Aren’t you strange? “A child who is not even a prophet speaks as if he knows everything about the future?”
“He’s not a prophet, but he knows what’s going to happen… Well, then what about a reincarnation? Or a returner?”
Damdeok’s outspoken remarks froze not only Elia but also Joo-yul, who was involved.
There was a bit of tension, but Damdeok paid it no mind and continued talking.
“Whatever it is, it’s probably one of two things. Either reincarnated or regressed. is not it?”
Hearing his words full of confidence, the two people were speechless, like dumb people who had been fed honey.
“Are you done talking? “Then I’m really leaving~”
Damdeok coolly turned around and waved his hand bye-bye.
Elia and Jooyul just stared blankly at Damdeok’s back.
* * *
In front of Dongnimmun Station.
A place where heavily armed troops line up endlessly.
They were facing the Seodaemun Prison, which was buried in black fog.
“All large! from now on!!”
Just like that.
thud!
Perhaps because the entire road was closed, the sound of footsteps echoed unusually loudly on the quiet street.
As the bleak tension flowed,
Namgung Do-eok, the general commander of Dongnimmun Gate, let out a loud voice.
“One minute to go!! The 112nd wave will begin soon!! Everyone standby!!”
Just like that.
The sound of weapons being raised was heard in unison.
A whopping 112 rounds.
The longest recorded monster wave in Korea so far was the 12th wave.
However, that damn gate was still pouring out monsters, recording more than 10 times the number.
A new mercenary adjusted his helmet and whispered to his colleague.
“…Is this a fight we can win? “How long do I have to repeat this before I can stop seeing the monster bastards?”
“This person. Be quiet. Haven’t you heard that if you say something that lowers morale, you will be disciplined? “Don’t say unnecessary things.”
A fellow mercenary put his finger to his mouth and looked around.
However, the rookie mercenary’s complaints did not stop.
“No matter what, it’s too much to do. Are you just telling me to fight indefinitely and then die? “If there is no solution, there is no solution!”
As the voice grew louder, the surrounding mercenaries began to glance.
His fellow mercenaries continued to pay attention to him and quickly comforted him.
“Hey then what should I do? It can’t be helped. “A variant gate like that has appeared in the middle of Seoul, so if this is breached, Jongno will also be breached, as well as the Blue House, City Hall, and so on… Then it’s all over!”
At those words, the rookie mercenary’s eyes turned red.
“Fuck really. My second daughter was also born this time…”
The fellow mercenary who had been urging stopped.
He also had a 3-year-old son who wouldn’t hurt if he put it in his eyes.
This morning, I was filled with tears as I remembered the laughter of a child playing with a toy car.
He silently stretched out his hand and tapped the father of two on the shoulder.
“…So let’s cheer up. “Aren’t we the people who protect our country… no, our families?”
Poo-
The sound of the trumpet rang out.
It was the signal of a monster wave.
The hand that had been patting slowly came down and grabbed the weapon.
The mercenaries’ bloodshot eyes stared straight into the black fog.
Soon,
terrible monsters will appear and the road will be filled with bloody smell and screams.
“Ugh, damn it…!”
The new mercenary, who was very frightened, raised his sword with trembling hands.
The combatants already lined up around them were all holding their weapons and taking deep breaths.
“Whoa whoa.”
My breathing became rough due to the tension.
Creeping –
the black fog seemed to stir for a moment, and then an unidentifiable howl began to be heard from inside.
“Get in formation!! Don’t scatter!! Everyone get ready!!”
Namgung Do-eok’s voice rang loudly.
– Crrrrr!
– Kyaoooooo!
– Kaaaaagh!
A variety of monsters broke through the fog and jumped out.
At the same time, Namgung Do-eok’s hand stretched forward powerfully.
“Turn around!!”
“Waaaa!!”
Coo coo coo coo coo –
the asphalt ground shook as if there had been an earthquake.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.”
The rookie mercenary felt his body being pushed against his will.
“Wake!! “Don’t be mushy and look straight at the enemy!!”
The voices of my fellow mercenaries were heard far away, drowned out by the footsteps and shouts.
When he came to his senses, chaos had already appeared before his eyes.
Whip! Kagang!! Kagagak! Push!
“Aaaah!!”
“Ugh!!”
“Ugh!!”
The sound of blood splattering, flesh being torn off, heads exploding alive, bones being broken… Yes, for just a moment, the rookie mercenary thought that the place he was standing in was no different from hell.
No,
this place was definitely hell itself.
– Crrrrr!
A demon with black wings.
It caught the eyes of the rookie mercenary.
A strange creature that is overwhelmingly slaughtering its fellow mercenaries.
“Ugh…”
The rookie mercenary’s steps were pushed back little by little at the sight of the monster he had never seen before.
‘I’ve never learned or seen a monster like that…’
It’s true.
It was a monster with a strange appearance that had never been seen before at
either the Academy or
the Hunter Training Center .
He was already panicking.
– Kyaaaagh!
“Ugh! “Please save me!”
The hand of a fellow mercenary, sadly stretched out, was torn apart like a piece of paper before his eyes.
“Long-distance support fire, please! Close combat alone has its limits…!!”
After a while, countless arrows and special bullets loaded with magic rained down from above towards the monsters, but that was all.
Some monsters fell, but the majority rose again and tore people to pieces.
The rookie mercenary could only watch the scene frozen.
I felt regret.
Why did I
decide to fight in a place like this?
Why on earth would I be a low-level mercenary with no skills in defending a
very large gate with a risk rating of SS level ?…
But there was no use in regretting it now.
– Crrrrrrr…!
A strange creature was slowly approaching from ahead.
The black wings had been hit by numerous arrows and bullets and had holes in them.
It was only when I looked into his black eyes that I realized.
The reason you came here.
money.
The money he was supposed to receive for participating in this gate defense battle was an amount that he, a low-level mercenary, could not normally touch.
For my eldest son, my newly born daughter, and my beloved wife….
“No… no… it’s all useless if I die!”
The rookie mercenary turned and began to run away.
There is no way you can defeat such a monster! It was absolutely impossible.
To make matters worse, the supposedly powerful hunters around him were also injured and groaning.
I was completely outnumbered.
It seemed obvious that they would all suffer a crushing defeat in this 112th wave, whether in terms of numbers, momentum, or skill.
“Money… I don’t need money… I just want to be able to see my family again…!”
Sigh!
The monster’s black claws swung fiercely.
Along with a burning pain in his back, the rookie mercenary’s vision plummeted to the asphalt.
Craddangtang!
“Ugh…”
The burning pain in my face made me think my nose bone was broken.
The helmet and armor were quite heavy, so it was natural that it fell over.
But there was no spirit to consider the pain.
– Crrrrrrr…!
Jagged-like fangs were getting closer to his face.
Sticky saliva was dripping from the low-level demon’s wide open mouth.
“Huh….”
I was so scared that I couldn’t even move.
It was when the wide-open mouth slowly covered the rookie mercenary’s head.
Squeak!
With a creepy sound, my vision, which had been dark, became bright in an instant.
The head of a strange creature was cut in two. The man who kicked it away carelessly shook off the bloody sword.
Short two-block hair.
A pure white sword in his hand.
The rookie mercenary’s eyes shook wildly.
The man said with a grin.
“Reinforcements appear.”
