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?]

“I agree. “What about your brother?”

Athena and Hercules lightly took up their weapons.

But Ares’ eyes were already halfway there.

The look in your eyes that makes you want to die of fun.

[Kkkk wait a minute. I was curious how long that guy would last.]

After saying that, Ares took a long stride forward alone, and Damdeok tensed and tightened his grip on his sword.

‘The atmosphere has changed. Are you saying you won’t look at it anymore?’

But it was the opposite.

Ares began to attack much more slowly and calmly than before.

‘what. ‘Why are you moving so slowly?’

Unlike before, when Damdeok was struggling to avoid attacks, only the attacks were clearly visible to Damdeok’s eyes.

A sword that is swung as if being considerate of the opponent who first held the sword.

Although he was embarrassed, it was Damdeok who calmly blocked Ares’ sword.

‘What are you planning?’

Many thoughts crossed my mind, but I couldn’t easily get my head around them.

As Damdeok easily blocked his sword, Ares quickly increased his speed.

A slightly faster attack than before.

Whip! visor! Kagagak!

However, this was also an attack clearly visible to Damdeok.

‘This is not enough.’

As Damdeok still blocked well, Ares’ sword became a little faster.

Kang! Whip! Kagagak! Kagang!

If you block it, it becomes a little faster. If you block it, it becomes a little faster.

How many times did that repeat?

Suddenly, the speed increased to the point where it was difficult to follow with the eyes, and only then did Damdeok realize Ares’ intentions.

‘under. Would you like to test it?’

The corners of Ares’ mouth turned up with a grin and he began swinging his sword faster.

Ares smiled as he watched Damdeok stumble.

‘What a guy. Even though he’s a low-level god, he’s much better at wielding a sword than most mid-level gods! It would be fun to team up with a guy like Hermes who is poor at swordsmanship.’

Ares was a god who enjoyed fighting every day, 365 days a year. He was alone with his imagination, praising Damdeok’s swordsmanship deep in his heart.

‘But even so, this is probably the limit.’

This guy has already raised his abilities to the limit.

If he increases his speed and strength just one level, he will fall down helplessly.

‘Well, at this level, I pass the report.’

Ares’ sword flew into the air in an arc.

[Kkkkk, it’s over, kid. Now get a good rest!]

Ares’ sword fell straight toward Damdeok’s head.

Ares, who plunged his sword, as well as Hercules and Athena, thought that Damdeok had fought well at this level.

Even though Damdeok will faint for a moment due to Ares’ somewhat rough attack, we all planned to work together to teach the talented young god how to avoid being killed by Hades.

But

kagagagak! Wow!

[Huh?]

Ares’ sword bounced off, creating sparks.

Just one thing.

That was a very subtle difference.

[what. Did you stop it now…?]

“…Didn’t Ares take care of it?”

The eyes of Athena and Hercules, who were watching, widened.

Damdeok was standing with his sword thrown away like a warrior from an old fairy tale.

Majesty itself.

Ares felt his face heating up.

[Hey, wait a minute! I just saw what happened! Properly again!]

Another harsh attack struck Damdeok.

But this time too, Damdeok deflected Ares’ sword by just one inch.

Kagagak! Wow!

[Huh…]

Ares looked at his thrown sword again with a devastated face.

No matter how much Damdeok’s skills were outstanding for a low-ranking god, didn’t he clearly see it with his own eyes?

Until just now, the limits of my abilities were clearly visible. How on earth…?

Ares looked at Damdeok with an expression of complete incomprehension.

Damdeok was barely able to calm the twitching corner of his mouth.

‘Kkkkkk Then why did you practice swordsmanship slowly from the beginning? Your attack pattern is now clearly visible.’

Ares’ slow practice of swordsmanship for testing was an action optimized to bring out Damdeok’s inherent swordsmanship talent.

‘The gods don’t know.’

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.
