I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 23
#23. Poseidonâs Dragon Palace Dungeon Reward (1)
Salary!
The dark before my eyes became bright in an instant. The Godsâ Store will definitely have something to overcome this situation.
âSomething usefulâ¦something usefulâ¦!â
The speed of scrolling through the store became increasingly faster.
Coo coo coo coo coo!
The tsunami was already plowing through the edges of the artificial site.
The fingers stood still.
âThis is it!â
[Skill: Wave Slash (SS)]
Description: A sword sharp enough to cut through waves
Price: 200 Hades
A skill that perfectly fits the current situation. There was nothing to hesitate about.
[ Purchase the skill.]
Snow White runs up the roof of the stadium with perfect timing.
âuh? What is the address rate?â
Instead of answering, Snow White transformed into a dragon slayer sword and landed in her right hand.
Well, the important thing now is to prevent a tsunami.
âLetâs do it!â
A casting method naturally comes to mind.
Shuaaaa!
As soon as the light emitted, it took a stance.
âGoes!!â
A bluish energy seemed to surround the sword, and the energy quickly spread out.
Paaaaaa!
The steps of those evacuating stopped for an instant.
ââ¦and. oh my god.â
Someone muttered.
The black tsunami was split into an exact X-shape.
Waves floating in the air.
A huge amount of water bombs rained down on the artificial site.
Shootaaaaa!!
Fortunately, only some buildings were damaged and no one was swept away by the pouring water.
Everyone was just soaked.
âWow, Iâm so wet.â
The same was true for Damdeok.
I looked around, shaking my head, and saw that except for the front, the rest of the body had been torn off miserably.
âStill, there isnât much damage on the front of Dokdo.â
It seems that if you become more skilled, you will be able to cut wider.
match! Clap clap! Clap clap clap!
The applause that came one by one erupted into thunderous cheers.
âWow! oh my god!!!â
âWasnât that a skill that only 7 stars or higher could do?!â
People who had been evacuating came rushing in and surrounded Damdeok.
All of them are hunter exam takers.
Their eyes were overflowing with excitement and joy.
âuh? âIs it⦠Yu Dam-deok?â
One of the dogs asked with wide eyes.
Damdeok didnât say anything.
âoh my god. Is it real?!â
âI guess itâs real. âItâs crazy, really.â
People let out exclamations of exclamation, and their physical strength increased slightly, albeit only slightly. Perhaps there were people who didnât know me yet.
âAnyway, I think I finally gained proper attack skills this time.â
âWave cuttingâ.
The name itself is full of swag.
The activation principle is like wrapping a sword with bluish divine power and then releasing it forward in an instant.
The reason he was able to cut the waves was clearly thanks to the powerful energy coming from the sword.
âvery good. If he continues to grow like thisâ¦â
What is an 8-star hunter?
Wouldnât it be possible to become the first 9-star hunter in Korea?
First of all, the most important thing is how many stars you can get in this test.
âWow, are you really a prospective hunter?â
âItâs impossible to say it wasnât a hunter.â
The atmosphere was ripe thanks to the fact that he had acquired powerful swordsmanship skills and people were praising him as a hero.
Aaaaeaaang!
The siren rang once more.
â All test takers, please move to a shelter! The possibility of a second tsunami is currently very high!
A second tsunami?
How did you stop it again�
An anxious gaze turned towards the sea.
The waves were still calm, but ominous.
[The intuition of power comes into play!]
ââ¦What is it again!â
The second tsunami will definitely come.
And that may not be the endâ¦
A tsunami is not a natural disaster that occurs suddenly like this. There should have been some warning signs of an earthquake, but I didnât feel anything.
âItâs so artificial, itâs strangeâ¦â
I felt uncomfortable.
A tsunami suddenly occurs in a calm sea.
I donât feel good.
âItâs definitely not a natural phenomenon.â
Regardless of whether it is the pranks of the gods or the pranks of monsters, Baekseol will be able to do better at wave cutting.
Aaaaeaaaaang!
The siren sound was heard once more.
â We would like to inform you once again. Due to concerns about a second tsunami, we ask that all staff and examinees evacuate quicklyâ¦.
Okay, first, we must safely enter the bunker.
âI guess Jo So-yul has already evacuated into the bunker, right?â
It was at that time when I picked up Baek Seol and started walking.
[Emergency recruitment notice!]
[(Poseidon) We are recruiting the Dragon Palace maintenance team!]
[The wall of the Dragon Palace has collapsed due to an unknown gate, causing a powerful tsunami chain in the human world!]
[Please apply quickly!]
[*The notice above is a divine power It is only broadcast to gods over 10,000.*]
âAhâ¦â
I rolled my eyes for a moment to understand the situation.
âOf course it is.â
I thought it was somehow strange. There is no way a tsunami could happen so suddenly.
âAnyway, the gods are more troublemakers.â
Creating a dungeon, losing equipment to the dwarves, having a couple fight between Hades and Persephoneâ¦
ugh, sometimes, it seems like thereâs no difference between gods and humans.
Anyway, once I knew the cause, there was no time to waste.
An emergency message flashes before your eyes.
âHa, Cerberus part-time job just ended.â
Is it because I almost got killed by Hades?
I was trying to refrain from working part-time for the gods for the time being.
But what can I do?
I need to apply.
Looking at the announcement, it seems that if repairs are not completed, the tsunami will continue to roll in.
âI donât know how long I can block it with wave cutting.â
If something goes wrong, everyone here is annihilated. Even me.
âHey, itâs my palja.â
In the end, Damdeok sighed and clicked on the message.
* * *
âIs this the Dragon Palaceâ¦?â
What unfolded before Damdeokâs eyes was a gorgeous underwater city.
Colorful buildings built in a transparent sphere, and even a huge dragon palace located in the center with various fish characters.
Could it be that the word Atlantis came about after seeing this place?
For a moment, that thought occurred to me.
âgood. Even though Iâm in the water, I feel comfortable breathing right away.â
I heard that if you apply to the maintenance team, automatic gills will be installed, and I guess thatâs true.
But where is Poseidon?
That was when I looked around.
[No, who is this?]
A familiar low-pitched voice was heard.
âHephaestus? âWhy are you hereâ¦â
[Khaha! I thought I would meet you again. Oh, this moonlight fox. I think itâs a bit big?!]
Hephaestusâ eyes lit up when he saw Baekseol on Damdeokâs shoulder.
But Baek White jerked! I turned my head away.
âLook at him? It was very annoying to Ju Ju-yul.â
Even when the cold wind blows, it cannot blow like this.
Hephaestus scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
âWhatâs going on here?â
[Hmm, what happened? Will it be used if the blacksmith is missing during repair work? You also applied for the emergency repair team, right? Since it was an urgent matter, I sent out an announcement without any hesitation, but it was very well received.]
Hephaestus nodded happily.
âAh, wasnât it Poseidon who made the announcement?â
[Oh, of course! I put it out in the name of Poseidon. But theyâre busy fighting right now. You are not a combat team, you are a maintenance team, an emergency maintenance team.]
He smiled cheerfully and guided us.
Letâs go back along the transparent sphereâ¦
[Here it is. It was a bit broken, wasnât it?]
The barrier that surrounded the city looked as pretty as the glass in a fish tank.
Unlike what was seen from the front, the rear part was severely damaged.
âHow many people are working on it?â
Many gods were already busy working on repairs, but the damaged area was so large that water continued to leak out.
[After all, this sea road is connected to the human world⦠to us, it looks like a pool wave, but to humans, it probably looks like a huge tsunami.]
Thatâs right.
I just went through that tsunami.
âWhy on earth was the barrier so broken?â
[Ah, that was because the gate suddenly explodedâ¦]
Hephaestus said that and pointed to a distant part of the sea.
A quietly swirling black whirlwind.
It was quite creepy to see it devouring everything around it.
âItâs just like a black hole.â
It is a different form from a normal crack.
But more shocking than that was the fact that gates also exist in the world of gods.
âThen what youâre saying is that the gates arenât made by the gods.â
What on earth is a gate?
Hephaestus added with perfect timing.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
[Gate, that, that. Itâs such a pain in the ass. No matter how many times you remove it, it continues to appear.]
âSo Poseidon and the other gods are going in to destroy the gate?â
[Thatâs right, they are battle-related gods. Leave the battle to them, and non-combat gods like us can just work hard on maintenance work.]
Hephaestus smiled kindly and tapped his shoulder.
I nodded quietly.
âStrictly speaking, I am also a combat typeâ¦â
In times like this, itâs best to stay still.
No matter how much he has reached the level of cutting down waves in the human world, in the world of gods, he is just a âlesser godâ as written in his profile.
âWould you like to try hammering for the first time in a while?â
As for hammering, I tried it when I was untalented.
The moment I was about to swing the hammer, I thought,
âHuh? âWas it that close?â
I rubbed my eyes.
It certainly seems like the whirlwind that was in the distance has gotten a little closerâ¦
I guess itâs an illusion, right?
Even without that thought, the huge whirlwind quickly approached the front of the Dragon Palace.
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!
â¦this is crazy!
