I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 50
#50. 8th Circle Wizard Yoo Dam-deok
âItâs finally begun! Citizens! Everyone cheers for the eternal prosperity of our Atlaum!!â
âCheers!!â
Not only the citizens but also the invited guests all laughed and entered the festive mood.
The high priests walked out silently and displayed splendid magic.
Of all the men, he looks the youngest despite wearing a robe and a hat.
Grumble!
Red flames also bloomed in Damdeokâs hands.
âWow this really works.â
Vermouthâs last request was to participate in Atlaumâs festival on behalf of the fainted priests.
âI didnât even know it was a festival, so what the hell?â
Although high priests do not do much, Vermouth readily offered his magical talent as well as his magic research talent, saying that magic might be unfamiliar to them.
âIf you know how magic works, itâs easy to learn basic magic.â
Damdeok turned the flame on his palm around.
It was still just a fist-sized flame, but even that was amazing to Damdeok.
A magic that uses divine power to fuse several atmospheric elements and burn them. Although it was quite complicated as it sounds, Damdeok succeeded in performing the 1-circle magic âFireâ in 30 minutes.
âI have no idea what to do next.â
The high priest standing next to him was handling the flames as if he were setting off fireworks.
Next to him, a high priest was creating water dolls as if he were playing magic with waves, and another high priest was making the entire square shine like a club with lightning.
Damdeok was the only one fiddling with a small flame.
People were looking at Damdeok curiously, but their eyes were full of anticipation as to what he was going to do.
âItâs burdensome.â
But donât worry.
Vermouth was not an irresponsible god who only did favors.
âA high priest must know how to use at least 8-circle magic.â After
succeeding in 1st-circle magic and failing in 2nd-circle magic, Vermouth shared a portion of his power with me.
âThe effect will be short-lived, though.â
There will be plenty of time to show off your magic at this festival.
It seemed as if the flame stopped in Damdeokâs hand for a momentâ¦
Quaaaaa!!
A pillar of fire rose high into the sky.
âWow!! kill!!â
âyes! This is it!!â
People were so excited that they popped champagne in the air, screamed, and danced.
In that exciting atmosphere, Damdeok quickly activated his next spell.
The pillar of fire that had erupted from only the right hand also erupted from the left hand.
Huge pillars of fire cross each other in the sky and merge into a large ring surrounding the sky of the square.
Due to Damdeokâs hand gestures, the flames were moving freely, scattering, combining, and repeating.
After a while, the Atlaum flag made of fireworks fluttered majestically in the sky of the square.
It was a performance bigger and more powerful than any other priestâs magic.
âWow!!â
âLong live Atlaum!!â
Peopleâs excitement was at its peak.
Damdeok continued to demonstrate magic by creating huge pillars of flame and shooting them here and there.
The fire show was going on like crazy, as if it were a huge laser expo.
[ The skill has been created!]
[ A skill has been created!]
Damdeok grinned and accelerated his use of magic even more.
In a little while, the power of vermouth will wear off.
It would be better to acquire as many skills as possible before then.
The priests around him began to quietly watch and support Damdeokâs fire show.
Whatever it was, people were so excited about it that they had an obligation to further enhance the atmosphere.
âHe was recommended by Lord Lordâ¦.â
âThatâs truly amazing skill.â
ââ¦But didnât you say he was a wanted criminal?â
âShh, thatâs top secret. The main officer said he would cover everything and told me to be quiet.â
The priests whispered to each other, but no one heard them.
As excited people sprayed champagne, the flames created by Damdeok only burned more fiercely.
Grumble! Grumble!
Adele Sharon was staring blankly at the man surrounded by people and flames.
âYoo Dam-deokâ¦? âHow could youâ¦â
He knew that he had longed for the path of an archmage more than anyone else.
âThatâs at least the level of the 8th circleâ¦â
Damdeokâs magic skills were definitely at the level of the 8th circle, a level that only some of the high priests can reach.
It was a moment when complex and subtle emotions such as the magic that I saw in the square when I was young, splendor, excitement, etc., hit Adele Sharon like a tsunami.
Her eyes were now more shaky than ever.
[The conditions for priest registration have been met!]
[Please contact the target and proceed with priest registration!]
Damdeok grinned as he looked at the message that appeared before his eyes.
âOkay bingo.â
* * *
Taang!
Adele Sharon kicked the table with both hands and stood up.
âDoes that make sense? âYou want me to believe this now?â
She glared at Damdeok with a red face.
ââ¦Yes, this kind of reaction is normal, but White Cloud and that are not normal.â
Damdeok, who was sitting on the other side of the table, crossed his arms and glanced at the white clouds diagonally in front of him.
Baekgureum shrugged his shoulders.
Ju Soo-yul, who was sitting across from him, kept his eyes closed.
Adele Sharon hits the table once again! He said hitting it.
âDonât talk nonsense, just answer the question. What is this transparent window talking about now? What did you do to me that I suddenly see this! âAre you kidding me?â
A system window was floating in the air as Adele Sharon pointed.
Unlike usual, it was a window that everyone could see.
Damdeok spoke calmly.
âIâm not kidding. âThere is no reason for that.â
Adele Sharon closed her mouth and glared at Damdeok.
I was angry.
I was truly captivated by Damdeokâs magic that he showed me earlier.
I wanted to learn.
It was the first time since I was a child that my heart pounded this hard.
But at most, they say itâs done after the festival is overâ¦
âGod? âOh, youâre a god?â
Adele Sharonâs tone was sharp.
Damdeok didnât say anything.
This has already been explained.
And before my eyes, the system was clearly explaining the priest system and its roles, word by word.
âI was wondering how things would work outâ¦â
It seems that Baek Gu-reum, who jumped in to buy the product without even considering it, was a special case.
However, Adele Sharonâs current behavior was by no means unusual.
âHonestly, anyone would do this.â
Think about it.
What would you think if someone came and said, âYou should be my priest!^^*â when in fact I am God?
Most likely, you will be treated like a crazy person.
Damdeok was sparing his words because he knew how he felt.
ââ¦Donât be so excited, why donât you sit down for now.â
Even though the lower-ranking address quietly helped, Adele Sharon still could not calm her excitement.
âNoisy! âI tried to show them a favor, but they treated me like a foolâ¦!â
Perhaps she completely misunderstood the purpose of the priest explained by the system.
âThen why did you put in something like a loyalty treatyâ¦â
I wanted to shut the systemâs fluttering mouths.
But this was just one of many mountains to climb in the future.
Iâve only met the second of the 12 guardians, and if Iâm already discouraged, I wonât be able to protect anything.
Damdeok gazed at Adele Sharon.
âWhy are you angry?â
There had never been any mischief in his eyes.
Adele Sharon asked back as if she was shocked.
âwhatâ¦? âThen did you really think I would swear to such a strange oath?â
âWhatâs strange?â
âItâs strange that you are a god.â
âYou explained to me that it was just a job.â
Baekgureum quickly agreed with Damdeokâs words.
âThatâs right, itâs just the same as awakening⦠Oh, donât you know what awakening is here?â
After that, haha! Baekgureum laughed, but no one laughed.
âItâs so sad⦠A dagger flies into my chest and
stabs meâ¦â Baekgureum muttered quietly to himself and then closed his mouth.
Adele Sharon continued, once again pointing to the system.
âAnd I have to be called whenever you call me, I have to live for you, I have to not neglect training for you⦠and I accept these things without any hesitation? Are you kidding me?â
âI explained that too. I just need your strength in the great disaster that will happen in the future. I will never call you for something useless. And for future battles, I will do my best to help you completely overcome your mana deficiency and fully learn magic. âIs this not enough?â
Damdeok was confident.
Because everything he said was true.
Unlike the systemâs coercive tone, Damdeokâs tone was quite persuasive.
Adele Sharon hesitated for a moment.
After that, Damdeok struck again.
âThis is a contract with the purpose of helping each other, and it is not against you at all. think carefully.â
She bit her lower lip at Damdeokâs calm words.
Above all, Adele Sharon was shaken by the words that it would completely overcome mana deficiency and allow her to fully learn magic.
ââ¦It allows me to use mana however I want even without equipment like gloves and elixir?â
Mana deficiency is an incurable disease.
Not only the healing wizards, who were said to be suffering from a disease that caused them to be born unable to receive mana from the atmosphere, but even the high priests who did not hesitate to respect them all shook their heads.
It was a disease that could never be cured, no matter how popular and rich he was.
But how can outsiders fix that?
Adele looked at Damdeok half with anger and half with vague anticipation.
âI donât know how yet. But I promise I will do my best.â
Adele could not hide her disappointment at Damdeokâs confident answer.
Ju Ju-yul looked at Damdeok and was lost in thought.
âItâs impossible here.â
Mana deficiency is a disease that cannot be cured with Damdeokâs current powers.
âYou can only get that cure from the Fairy King. Or at least I have to go to the place where the third guardian, Etin, isâ¦â Although
Damdeokâs progress in acquiring magic talent and magic research talent faster than expected was surprising, Adele Sharon was, as expected, a formidable opponent.
âShe needs some time after all.â
It was Adele Sharon who I always had the hardest time convincing.
As a superstar in the world of magic, she has a strong pride and is nothing to envy, but her only weakness is mana deficiency.
âIf you canât fix that, thereâs no reason for you to follow Damdeok.â
Thatâs a reasonable reason.
But for Damdeok, and for me too, Adele Sharon was one of the essential guardians.
âLetâs give it some time.â
Adele Sharon may look like a haughty superstar on the outside, but if you look closely, she may look like a childish person, but when sheâs serious, sheâs a very thoughtful person.
If you take some time and watch Damdeok gradually develop his magical talent, you will definitely be moved.
âAnyway, thereâs still time to spare for Karos to appearâ¦â This
would be enough time for Damdeok to learn all the basic magic.
âLetâs take some timeâ¦â
That was when Ju Soo-yul started speaking.
Coo coo coo coo! Coogung!
Adele Sharonâs entire mansion began to shake due to the loud noise.
ââ¦what?â
âIs there a war?â
âWhat again?!â
Damdeok and Baekgureum Adele Sharonâs gaze simultaneously looked beyond the wide open terrace window.
âCrazy⦠what is that?â
Adele Sharon covered her mouth without realizing it.
The area near the cursed pit in the northern forest was covered with smoke and black flames.
It was a bizarre scene I had never seen before.
Adele Sharon and White Cloud walked closer to the window as if they couldnât believe it.
Damdeok just stared with his mouth tightly shut.
âUgh! Burnt smell!â
âKekkeek, my throat is sore.â
Adele Sharon and Baekgureum, who came close to the window, started coughing.
âKeck!â
A whiff of acrid smoke entered Damdeokâs nose as he sat.
At that time, when everyone was distracted by coughing, Jooyul muttered softly.
âWhy is Carlos alreadyâ¦.â
