I’ll Be Taking A Break For Personal Reasons - Chapter 176

Wasn’t the reason why I couldn’t use Bongsik’s skill earlier just because I was in a dungeon?

All of my abilities were sealed.

Creepy!

A chill ran down his spine.

What am I, the one and only God, who cannot share the divine authority and skills with followers?

A third-rate sleeper plagued by deadlines?

“Squeak! Squeak squeak!”

And there it is, a strong prey candidate for that hungry-looking rat monster!

“Ouch! Save people!”

I screamed and ran away, save me.

However, the rat monster not only looked like a rat, but also seemed to have the same physical abilities as a rat, running at a terrifying speed as if climbing a wall and catching up with me in an instant.

“Jjiik!”

Wedge liquid!

The spear in his hand flew towards my neck with ferocious force.

‘The Lord is dying!’

I never imagined that I would be killed by a rat monster in such an unknown dungeon.

The faces of my sister, my nephew Seong-yeon, my followers and students, and the Antiwa people of the Godmaker world passed through my mind like a kaleidoscope.

“Geun Yoo Woo-wook! punch!”

Yes, you too, Ilho, who will be climbing the Tower of the Warriors diligently even at this moment.

uh? But the voice is too vivid to be called a kaleidoscope?

As if it could be heard from the side.

Pooh!

wobble thump!

The head of the rat monster that attacked me was smashed, and the huge body with no head collapsed in front of me.

how did this happen?

“I almost got into trouble! Are you okay?”

Shaking off blood from his fist, the muscular man reached out to me.

However, this guy was somehow familiar.

A man with a shiny shaved head and monster-like muscles that are about to burst at any moment, but with a cute three-headed body that doesn’t go with it.

And, crucially, a strange sword resembling a dumbbell hanging on his back.

Unknowingly, I called his name.

“This Ilho?”

hey why are you here

[ Dungeon No. 1 (1) ]

N521X321, an asteroid field that has been infamous in the universe for thousands of years, called the Grave of Stars.

But after the grace of the great god abide, it was no longer a star’s tomb.

Rather, in the distant future, it will be remembered as the legendary place where the emperor of the Great Cosmic Union was born.

Shuwook!

Wow!

Huge warships scattered throughout the cosmos warped there one by one.

The number exceeded 10,000.

Surrounding them as if escorting them was the half-destroyed, ugly battleship Esmeralda II.

But among them were the noblest people in the universe.

Sharak Shayak.

A woman with long, mysterious blonde hair that shimmered like stars, holding something treasured in her hand, walked among the camera drones watched by the people of the Cosmic Union.

She is Princess Esmeralda, the leader of the Cosmic Union.

There were many different races in the universe, but all of them admired Esmeralda’s beauty.

Her beauty, which was freed from the curse of the divine blood of the God of Destruction, transcended races and could not but be admired by anyone, and even if it was the best in the universe, it was not enough.

But today’s heroine was not her.

Esmeralda called the name of the little hero who saved the universe from the remnants of the God of Destruction.

“Ilho.”

Esmeralda stared at Ilho in her hand with watery eyes.

“You really don’t want to stay? If it was Ilho-sama, he would surely be able to become a great emperor…”

Ilho shook his head resolutely.

“Chuck! A muscle fool like me is not suitable for the emperor’s position. The emperor suits you, the beautiful and wise Princess Esmeralda.”

Esmeralda’s cheeks heat up slightly.

How nice it feels to hear that Ilho is beautiful. Could this be the heart of a woman in love?

“And I still have a long-cherished wish to fulfill.”

“Are you saying the long-cherished wish to help the one God and save the whole world?”

“exactly!”

Ilho punched his chest with his fist.

The reason he first challenged the Tower of the Warriors was to become strong and protect Saint Anti and the brothers of Gaya America.

However, while climbing the tower, he saw countless people suffering from the greed of destruction gods and evil spirits.

And I had to feel my own helplessness.

It was the same as when he saved Eden’s divine beasts from ‘Kangshik and the Beast of Deception’, and this time, if the only God had not helped, he would have died miserably.

“But I am still very weak. In order to become the strength of the great and merciful One God, we must become even stronger.”

It may be disrespectful to think this way, but Ilho wanted to become stronger and stronger and one day become his shield.

Esmeralda stared into Ilho’s glowing eyes with an ecstatic expression and remembered the only god he worshiped.

A giant that is so hideous that one cannot dare to look at it and mighty enough to be compared to the god of destruction in mythology.

He eliminated the asteroids pouring down like a nightmare with just a snap of his fingers, and lightly cured the curse of the God of Destruction that had plagued him for the rest of his life.

Does such a great god really need the help of a weak creature?

However, if it is this little hero with an indomitable will, Ilho, who is in his hands right now.

“If it’s Ilho-nim, you will definitely be able to do it.”

“Thank you for your support! princess! Then I’m done! Please build good muscles!”

Ilho said goodbye to the princess while posing for muscles.

And the moment you are about to move on to receive the trial of the next floor.

“Ilho.”

Esmeralda looked at Ilho with trembling eyes and opened her red lips.

“I have one last request. Just a moment… could you close your eyes?”

“huh? Well, that’s about it.”

Ilho, who had a puzzled expression on his face, nodded and closed his eyes tightly.

Esmeralda, who was staring at Ilho with loving eyes, bowed her head toward him.

Jjook.

Ilho opened his eyes in amazement at the touch of his hot, soft lips against his face.

“Go Princess?”

“I, Esmeralda, will always be waiting for you. Ilho. When you finish the hero’s trial someday, please come back to me.”

thud! thud!

Esmeralda’s smile that makes her heart tremble just by looking at it, Hero Ilho, who finished his mission last, disappeared from the universe.

-Congratulations. Successfully cleared the “Salvation of the Grand Universe Federation”, the time-and-space trial on the 44th floor of the Tower of Heroes.

– Gives ‘Blessing of Survival’ as a reward.

– Blessing of Survival: You can survive in any adverse environment.

Ilho, with a blank face, was taken aback by the tower’s message and calmed down his shaking heart. I was going to challenge the next floor soon, but I had to stay alert.

-Go to the 45th floor of the Tower of Heroes, ‘The Ordeal of Time and Space’…. Chijik! Chijik!

At that moment, like a broken radio, Top’s voice began to distort.

“what?”

You’ve never been like this while climbing the tower?

Tring!

– Chijik…! The ‘Eternal Seeker’ is consuming his causality… Crisis…! Intervene in the ordeal…

-Chijik…! The ordeal of construction on the 45th floor.

– Chijik! Chijik! Clear condition… Salvation… Crisp!

I couldn’t understand the message from the Tower of Heroes, but at least the words “Eternal Seeker and Remains of the God of Harmony” were firmly embedded in my mind.

Shuwook!

“This place?”

After a while, Ilho moved to a bizarre dungeon full of enigmatic murals.

* * *

“Chuck! that’s how it happened Actually, I don’t know the circumstances, but I thought it would have a deep meaning because it was done by the great muscle god, the eternal seeker.”

Sizzle.

Ilho turned over the meat he threw on the fire. That was the meat of the monster rat that Ilho killed to save me.

Ilho said he had arrived here 15 days ago.

Since I’ve played the asteroid beat game, I’ve been off by more than ten days even if I’ve calculated it.

Maybe the flow of time is different?

‘No, that’s not the point.’

No. 1.

While I was playing Godmaker, along with Antti, my follower Ilho, whom I have the most affection for, was in front of me.

It is not the size of an ant, but while sharing the same field of view and space as mine.

I don’t know how this could happen, but Ilho, our Ilho, is right in front of me.

“Why do you look like that?”

“Here is Ilho. Don’t you know who I am?”

I wondered if you would recognize me, so I asked.

“Hmm, unfortunately, I don’t remember very well. No matter how much you train your hair, it only hardens and never gets better.”

Ilho scratched his bald head with an apologetic expression.

I felt a bit sad at Ilho not recognizing me, but I thought that might be the case.

It was because I thought that the me reflected in their eyes might be different from the real me when I recalled how frightened the creatures of Godmaker looked at me.

“Is this the person I met in the ordeal on the other floor? What is your name?”

My heart skipped a beat at Ilho’s question.

May I reveal that I am the only God?

Wouldn’t it be blasphemy and beat him to death with those rugged muscles?

oh no Our Ilho won’t be like that.

I believed in the number one and said it.

“I am the only God….”

Still, I couldn’t help but feel my voice tremble with anxiety.

“What!”

Hearing my name, Ilho shouted and suddenly jumped up from his seat.

Unknowingly, I was frightened and crouched down, flinching.

“Chuck! What a nice name!”

Ilho laughed heartily and patted my shoulder. Oops, the strength was so good that I thought my shoulders would fall off for a moment.

“As expected, the only God is great that His divinity reaches such remote places. It must have been the name his parents gave him out of admiration for him!”

“Yes.”

Well, it’s the name your parents gave you.

Ilho nodded as if satisfied.

“Actually, it’s a long time, but I think it’s right to save you for the ordeal given to me this time.”

“Me me?”

“exactly! To seek someone with the same name as the great god I serve! This is destiny! And for some reason I feel close to you, like brothers from my hometown! After all, believers who believe in the same God are like brothers!”

Ilho clenched his fists.

“Don’t worry, brother! I will be sure to help you escape from here and send you home safely!”

I was thrilled.

Although I was disappointed that Ilho didn’t recognize me, I also thought that I hadn’t raised our Ilho wrong.

“But it’s Ilho. What should I do to escape from here…”

Then Ilho interrupted my words with a solemn expression.

“A moment before that. It looks like the meat is done.”

Ilho removed the meat from the fire and raised his arms solemnly toward the ceiling.

“I give thanks to the great and merciful One God who gave me my daily bread today. Shiva Shiva.”

Then he glanced at me.

“What are you doing? Could it be that they are not brothers who believe in monotheism?”

Ilho’s eyes seemed to change as he looked at me, so I raised my hand excitedly.

“The only God who gave us our daily bread! thank you! Shiva Shiva!”

Ilho nodded his head in satisfaction.

“Oh, what an exemplary good sleep. After all, they are brothers!”

In the meantime, I think it’s worthwhile to see a lot of Gaya American kids praying to me.

“Let’s eat then.”

Chew! Ilho heartily tore up a chunk of meat and handed it to me.

The meat of the bipedal monster rat that tried to eat me earlier.

I was hungry, but my appetite plummeted.

“I’m okay. Ilho you eat.”

Then Ilho made an expression that the world was collapsing and shouted out loud.

“No! brother! Am I out of my mind now?”

Haha I’m surprised! Did I do something wrong?

“You must eat meat!”

“A bar must?”

“exactly! If you don’t eat meat, you lose muscle! With a body like that of an anchovy, you wouldn’t even eat meat! sibling! How can you serve the only God with such a feeble body?”

Still, I thought I had been exercising a bit, but by Ilho’s standards, it seems like it’s just anchovies.

“Then I’ll eat well.”

Well, I was hungry and scared of Il-ho, who was widening his eyes because he was losing muscles, so I closed my eyes tightly and took a bite of the monster rat’s meat.

Wrong! Chomp Chomp!

what?

“How are you? Is it not worth eating?”

“Yeah, it’s delicious.”

Contrary to its appearance, the chewy texture was like eating pork neck meat.

“Monster rat meat is the most delicious meat in this dungeon. Monster snakes smell so fishy, and corpses with pointy ears are hard to eat because of the stench

.

I was actually very anxious about the current situation where I couldn’t even share the power of God or skill with followers, but I didn’t know how reassuring I was because I was with Ilho.
