I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 69
#69. Niflheim, the Land of Ice (1)
“Hey! “It’s bright, it’s bright.”
Damdeok couldn’t help but be amazed as he looked at the pure white Excalibur.
“Is it that good?”
Despite Jooyul’s question, Damdeok was just stroking Excalibur and his eyes were shining with ecstasy.
“It does not make sense. I mean… such a perfect weapon exists in the world. Wasn’t this something Hephaestus made? “It makes no sense to say that it was made by humans.”
Ju Soo-yul chuckled as he watched Damdeok continue to praise him.
“If Hephaestus had made it, Snow White wouldn’t have been able to transform. “You can’t copy the weapons of the gods.”
I nodded at those words.
‘Of course.’
That was the reason why he, whose main weapon was a sword, carried Hercules’ olive tree club separately on his back.
‘The club option is really good, but since Snow White can’t copy it, I have no choice but to hang it separately.’
Still, it was fortunate that in the Hercules set, when the armor became transparent, the club also became transparent.
This allows you to hide the fact that you have another weapon from your opponent.
‘That’s not all.’
If Snow White were directly inside the armor, wouldn’t it also completely hide her appearance?
‘It also has a built-in invisibility cloak function.’
Anyway, now I have upgraded my armor and the most important main weapon.
Damdeok felt even more proud than when he got the Hercules set.
“With the increase in fighting spirit, your abilities are doubled for 10 minutes… Don’t you think the results are better than the part-time job in the Demon World?”
Damdeok looked at Jusoyul.
“It depends on what kind of demon power you receive, but… that’s fine.”
“right? That’s right! “This is a very good thing.”
Damdeok’s eyes returned to the exploration mode.
Jump up!
The door opened and white clouds came in noisily.
“Oh brother! If you come to Korea, you don’t have to say that you came! What on earth are you doing these days? Why does he only appear on TV and never show his face? uh?”
Baekgureum came in with a sigh, and his eyes widened when he saw the sword Damdeok was holding.
“what. “That crazy exploding sword…?”
Damdeok felt like it was going to be a bother, so he immediately released the sword’s transformation.
– will!
Baekgureum’s hand reached out roughly and made contact with Baekseol’s soft tongue.
“Ahh! It’s a surprise!”
“Kkkkkk, Baek White must have been more surprised.”
“Oh really, what is it! “What did you just say?”
“You don’t have to know, disciple.”
“Ah, who is your brother’s disciple! show me! “You want me to show you?!”
The room quickly became noisy.
Ju Soo-yul sighed and turned his head.
News was playing on TV.
– Mr. William Jones, CEO of the Midas Company, was arrested this afternoon. According to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, William is suspected of violent crimes such as murder by contract, drug trafficking, and organizing a criminal organization, and plans are in place to search and seize his home in Korea as early as tomorrow….
“Is that you?”
Ju Soo-yul asked Damdeok, who was laughing and playing around.
Damdeok, who was about to break Baekgureum’s arm and throw a knee kick in a strange position, responded with a grin.
“I heard from Thor that he did a lot of bad things. “You have to pay for your sins.”
“What are you going to do with the real Excalibur?”
“King Arthur is from England? “I have reserved it for donation to the British Museum.”
Ju Soo-yul smiled slightly as he watched Damdeok struggling with Baek Gu-reum again as if it was no big deal.
‘You do your work neatly.’
Perhaps the Iris Guild, which was in a blood alliance with Midas, will also suffer a significant blow due to this incident.
‘The evil of heaven will run rampant again.’
It didn’t really matter.
Because there are only a few people left in this world who can touch Damdeok.
“let’s go.”
Addressul said.
As Damdeok and Baekgureum looked at each other with a look of ‘Where?’, Jooyul’s finger pointed upward.
“I have to go. “To meet the third guardian.”
* * *
A pure white snowy field.
In a place where everything was covered with snow, Damdeok and White Cloud Adele Sharon stood sniffing.
“There’s a third guardian here?”
“It’s really over. It’s over….”
“Hey, let’s be honest. “Isn’t it true that the guardians aren’t strong, but that they just got stronger to survive in this place?”
As soon as I finish speaking, whining! A cold wind blew.
“town!”
“100 million!”
“Ac!”
The place where they fell is Niflheim in Norse mythology.
It is a world of ice and cold that has existed since time immemorial and is home to nine huge ice rivers.
“The third guardian, Etin, lies between the fourth and fifth rivers. “If we hurry, we’ll be able to arrive within today.”
However, no one responded to Ju Ju-yul’s words.
Except for Ju Ju-yul, the other three people were curled up in the snow, trembling like aspen trees.
“…What are you doing?”
Ju Ju-yul looked at the three with pitiful eyes.
Damdeok looked at Jusoyul with suspicious eyes.
“…Why aren’t you cold alone?”
“Because I am a mid-level god.”
“I’m also a mid-level god now, right?”
“I guess I’m a stronger intermediate god than you.”
“Hey sir…!”
Damdeok did not know that Jusoyul had the power of internal burning that he obtained from Muspelheim (the land of heat waves in Norse mythology).
“Hitch! Oh, this is so crazy! Where is your destination? “Let’s go somewhere quickly!”
Adele Sharon exclaimed.
“Is it possible for people to live in a place like this?! That sister is lying! “It’s definitely a lie!”
Next, white clouds came to the rescue.
“lie…? Hey address rate! “Did you lie again?!”
Damdeok rolled his eyes and Adele Sharon clicked her teeth.
“Ugh! Jaylal! “Why can’t I come out? (Ugh! Damn it! My mouth is frozen and I can’t speak!)”
It seems like everyone lost their minds because it was so cold.
Ju Juyul acted calmly.
This situation was one of the things that always happened every time I came to Niflheim.
In my previous life, I wasted several hours because a white cloud, which was particularly sensitive to the cold, collapsed under snow.
‘I couldn’t find it because my hair was as white as snow.’
In the end, Baekgureum got frostbite and had to recover in the cave for several days.
‘There is no such waste of time in this life.’
Ju Soo-yul opened his mouth indifferently.
“…Do you want to go back?”
Three people looked at the address at the same time.
“good. Then let’s go back. If you can’t go because it’s cold, you can’t do it. “If things go on like this, what will happen more than the destruction of the world?”
The three faces distorted at the same time.
They have already heard this ad nauseam when they become priests.
That Jujuyul is a prophet and that they are the chosen guardians in that prophecy.
“No matter what else I say… Hey! wake up! let’s go!”
Damdeok was the first to wake up.
“Ugh! “What better option than to die?”
“Wow! Cheer up!”
The group that set out on the road walked for a long time.
After enduring the biting cold and crossing the third frozen river, we finally reached the fourth river, which had a guardian named Etin.
Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!!
A loud noise was heard from the side.
The group of people who had been walking looking at the ground because it was cold raised their heads one by one.
“What is that?”
Damdeok tried to open his frozen eyes.
A huge snow mountain located next to a river.
Cloudy snow was falling without hesitation from above.
Kwakwakwakwakwa!!
Damdeok’s eyes widened as he saw the reality.
“what?! “It’s a landslide!!”
“It’s an avalanche, you idiot!”
Ju Soo-yul hurriedly picked up Adele Sharon and threw her away.
“damn…!”
Damdeok, who realized the situation, immediately grabbed Baekgureum by the back and pushed him away, but a huge snow storm had already covered his head.
“Aaaah!!”
Damdeok and his group were buried in the snow after hearing the screams of the white clouds.
* * *
Inside a dark cave.
Damdeok and his group were sitting around, warming their hands around the bonfire.
Crack! Crash!
It was a place we arrived at after digging a path for a long time after being buried in an avalanche.
“What should I do now?”
White Cloud asked in a hoarse voice.
It was the result of Damdeok pulling the nape of the neck too hard.
“Still, I avoided suffocating in the snow in this life…”
Adele Sharon looked disgusted at Joo Soo-yul’s muttering.
“Ah, why are you doing this again? Hey little brother? Your skill, precognition, is to see the future. “It’s not the past!”
“Either that or that.”
“to? “How are they the same!”
Damdeok sighed as Ju Soo-yul and Adele Sharon quarreled.
“The entrance to the cave is blocked from front to back. “It will take a few days for all the snow to melt.”
I continued to use fire magic, but Niflheim’s eyes did not even dream.
Ju Ju-yul says that snow melts only with the light of the sun in this world.
‘I’m busy getting stronger quickly. ‘I just have to wait for the snow to melt.’
Excluding the guy named Asmodeus in the demon world and Ettin, there are 9 remaining guardians…
“Oh, I can’t do it. “I’ll go back to the entrance.”
In the end, Damdeok got up.
Jooyul said as he sharpened the blade of his dagger.
“Don’t do anything stupid. The whole place was already buried in an avalanche. “It would have frozen longer than before, and it is impossible to thaw it with our own strength.”
It was advice not to lose strength, but Damdeok did not listen.
“So, I’m just coming to see you for a moment.”
“Come back~ Wicked business owner~”
“You can’t die alone~”
Adele Sharon and Baek Cloud sat around the bonfire and giggled.
Even if you ask me to go with you, I probably won’t go.
Does not matter. The weak ones should stay in the warm campfire.
Damdeok walked towards the entrance of the cave alone.
‘It was frozen…’
The area that was supposed to be the entrance was already completely blocked with snow, or rather with chunks of ice.
Thump thump!
When I hit it, it sounded like a rock.
He transformed Snow White and took Excalibur in his hand.
[ Casting the skill!]
Grumble! Whoops!
Flames spread everywhere and the sword flew out.
The snowball didn’t move.
“How is it that it doesn’t melt at all?…”
Damdeok, who was choking on his appetite, put away his sword.
Actually, I knew it.
If you say that the address rate is difficult, it is really difficult.
‘This is the beginning of a life of seclusion.’
The inside of the cave was very narrow.
All that said, there was no space for four people to stretch out and lie down, except for the area where the bonfire had been lit earlier.
– will?
“Baekseol. You have to sleep on my stomach. “There aren’t enough seats.”
It was when I was stroking Baek Seol, who had recovered from her transformation.
– @%#[email protected]#%….
A subtle noise was heard from somewhere.
“uh?”
Damdeok’s head turned.
A narrow cave passage where you can’t fully stretch out your arms or raise your head.
‘Where on earth is the sound coming from?’
Damdeok, who was looking around, was soon able to find the source of the noise.
– @%#[email protected]#%….
“This… seems to be coming from inside the wall?”
I felt the cave wall and lowered my posture.
A pothole.
Sound was leaking through minute cracks.
‘There’s something. But I have no idea what it means.’
The sound was small.
It was to the point where I couldn’t even understand what language was being spoken.
‘What does that have to do with anything?’
Damdeok’s priority was to get out of this frustrating place quickly.
“If you make the hole here a little wider…!”
Kagak!
Excalibur was inserted into the gap.
‘Expand…! Expanded…!’
Kwasik! Let’s go!
Stone debris falling little by little.
The sounds that were being heard at the same time suddenly stopped.
‘…were you caught?’
Inside the quiet cave.
Somehow, there was a sense of tension.
‘Suddenly he doesn’t make any sound of breathing.’
My hair stood on end as I thought that an unknown creature was watching me from beyond the wall.
‘But I can’t give up.’
Now, Damdeok was neither afraid of most battles nor had any intention of avoiding them.
“If we have to fight, it would be good to train.”
Damdeok chuckled and channeled a vast amount of divine power into his sword.
Ugh!
Excalibur began to resonate.
“Goes!!”
[Excalibur activates the trait !]
[Ability points double for a moment!]
Excalibur fiercely rushed towards the wall.
Kwazijic!!
Along with the pleasure of breaking down the wall, a thick layer of dust covered the ground.
“Cough! Cough! Ugh….”
Damdeok, covering his mouth with his sleeve, took a step toward the large hole.
“What is that…?”
Damdeok’s eyes widened in an instant.
