I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 51

#51. Vermouth, God of Flame VS Karos, God of Black Flame (1)

“What? “Karos?”

Damdeok’s head turned.

Ju Soo-yul was staring blankly out the window.

“Hey, address rate, what do you mean? “I said there’s still some time left before Carlos comes out.”

“…It did.”

What are you talking about?

Damdeok quietly looked at Jusoyul.

‘This guy has never said anything nonsense before…’

“Are you sure it’s Carlos?”

“okay.”

At the same time that Sooyul nodded, Damdeok jumped up.

“What are you going to do?”

“Why? If we keep going like this, will Adele Sharon become a priest?”

Adele Sharon She was fidgeting by the window.

In the forest, black flames were quickly spreading nearby.

At that speed, it wouldn’t take long to devour not only this place but the entire atlarium.

Adele Sharon started biting her fingernails and dialing her phone here and there.

Ju Soo-yul spoke calmly to Damdeok, who was standing up.

“You’re not saying you’re going to sort out Karos yourself, are you? If you think like that, you should stop. That guy is not a god you can handle yet. “It’s on a different level from Neptune, who was unstable before.”

“Ah, I’m going to have a scab on my ear.”

“Hey you…”

Damdeok wordlessly placed his hand on his right shoulder.

Baekseol, who quickly transformed into a pure white sword, was held in Damdeok’s hands.

Jo So-yul didn’t want to add anything, but kept his mouth shut.

Suddenly, a familiar window appeared before her eyes.

[Emergency recruitment notice!]

[Recruiting a party to subdue Karos!]

[Participation possible with a strength of 50,000 or more!]

[Directed by Vermouth, the highest god!]

[Quickly recruiting the first 20 people!]

Damdeok grinned and looked back at Jusoyul. .

“let’s go. “It’s time to go to my part-time job.”

…

_

_ About twenty people had gathered.

Baekgureum, a member of Damdeok’s group gathered in the middle, frowned and began to grumble.

“No, that guy is on his way to fight some kind of fight, but he keeps asking for safety?”

Vermouth sent out a recruitment notice for battle and asked not only for the safety of his allies but also not to suppress his enemies too cruelly.

It was no wonder that Baekgureum, who was so excited at the thought of practicing swordsmanship, grumbled.

“Ha, really, how long are you going to just recite safety rules? “Are you an old man?”

The face of Adele Sharon, who was next to me, distorted in shock at the white cloud’s unstoppable muttering.

She hurriedly covered Baekgureum’s mouth and whispered.

“it’s crazy?! “If you say such profanity, you will be expelled from the magic world forever.”

Adele Sharon covered White Cloud’s mouth even harder as she watched the high priests lined up at the front.

“town! Oh, let go of this!”

Baekgureum huffed, shaking his hand away roughly.

“What do you know about the magic world or anything else? I have a body that will become the strongest in swordsmanship. I’m not interested in such trivial magic games! Do you understand?!”

Adele Sharon looked at the white clouds with a bewildered expression.

“What do you mean magic? “Did you just call magic magic?”

“joy! “Magic or witchcraft.”

A spark flew in Adele Sharon’s eyes at the sight of the sarcastic White Cloud.

“This bastard… I won’t let you make fun of that snout first.”

A fist-sized flame rose above her palm.

“What? “You want to try it?”

Baekgureum also pulled out his sword in a murderous manner.

The flame burning between the two died out in an instant with the appearance of Ju Soo-yul.

“Stop it, both of you. “Give it to me if you don’t want to explode.”

“….”

“….”

If someone else heard the cold tone, they might have dismissed it as a joke between colleagues, but they both knew.

That’s definitely not a joke.

‘Tch, just look at it once.’

‘We’ll see later.’

In the end, Baekgureum and Adele Sharon quietly lowered their hands.

Damdeok, who was watching, chuckled.

“Adele, you said you didn’t have to follow me. Why did you follow me? “I heard you don’t believe I’m God?”

At those words, Adele Sharon cleared her throat.

“I didn’t say I didn’t believe it. “I said I couldn’t believe it.”

“Is it something else?”

“It’s different. And they say you can actually see Vermouth… Anyone from Atlaum would have followed you, right?”

In response, Damdeok just giggled and laughed.

‘I knew you would, so I deliberately told you that I was Vermouth’s part-time job.’

As soon as Vermouth’s announcement was made, Damdeok informed everyone of its contents without hesitation.

The reason was simple.

This is because I thought it was the shortest course to persuade Adele Sharon.

‘I’m learning all the magic used in this battle by looking over my shoulder.’

As Ju Ju-yul worried, Damdeok had no intention of defeating Carlos himself.

I was just thinking about how I could quickly recruit Adele Sharon and move on to the next step.

And the solution came surprisingly easily.

What you have experienced so far.

‘When I gained swordsmanship and martial arts talent, I achieved great results in the beginning.’

So, I decided that I would be able to use this magic talent as well.

‘Although it was a one-time magic given by Vermouth during the festival…’

Adele Sharon also seemed to be very disappointed in that very point.

So this time, I’m going to show myself growing.

For now, that was the best way to convince her.

“Now that I’ve followed you, let’s just watch from the corner so you don’t get hurt. Adele.”

“Hmph, take care of yourself.”

Adele Sharon answered bluntly, but could not take her eyes off the other middle- and low-level gods around her.

Since all of the lower-level gods gathered here were gods related to magic or spirits, it was no wonder that Adele Sharon’s eyes widened.

‘wait a moment. ‘I will learn the magic that you cannot survive without dying.’

Soon, the high priests and middle-level gods, led by Vermouth, began to move toward the northern forest, and the remaining soldiers and lower-level gods Damdeok and his party also slowly moved along the lead.

– Kyaaa!

– Crrrrr!

Within three minutes of entering, monsters appeared one after another from all directions.

It was different from the monsters I had seen so far.

These guys have their whole bodies blackened, whether they’re covered in black flame or because they’ve been burned. They were so bizarre-looking that it was impossible to tell whether they were beast-type or human-type.

“Oh my….”

“Oh my god, your whole body is scorched. “Was there a monster like that in Atlaum?”

The lesser gods around them frowned but calmly began to use their respective magic.

“But once this is over, I will be living up to Vermouth’s name for the first time in a long time.”

“That’s right. He is a man who never made public announcements during his lifetime. “I was lucky.”

Damdeok was listening to their conversation from behind.

‘The name value of vermouth is quite expensive.’

The amount of compensation he received after acting as a high priest during the festival was twice as much as the amount that Hades offered for One Plus One, so he must have said everything.

‘Well, since he is the highest god in this worldview, it is natural that he is paid well.’

But there was something else that Damdeok valued more than that.

Grumble! Good luck!

Squeeze! Pajik!

Various magics spread from the hands and wands of lesser gods.

Damdeok was closely observing their fighting methods and carefully following them one by one.

‘Hmm, it’s not as good as I thought.’

However, unlike swordsmanship and martial arts, ‘magic’ was a more sensitive and difficult technique than expected.

The 2nd circle magic, which creates a flame in the air and a small fireball hovering over the hand, was successfully performed, but there was an invisible wall to unlock the 3rd circle magic that releases the flame.

‘I definitely developed the fireball skill…’

Aren’t there skills I gained while performing fire pillar shows at festivals?

However,

[I do not understand enough!]

[ The skill cannot be cast!]

Damdeok fell into agony as he carefully put away the message that appeared before his eyes.

‘What’s the problem?’

The flame slowly fading in my hand felt empty, as if one of the gears was not engaging.

‘Isn’t it true that you just blindly watch and follow it?’

Magic must have something different from physical swordsmanship and martial arts.

‘I was originally planning to leave here and learn the basics…’

I don’t think I’ll be able to make much progress if I just look at the magic of the lower-level gods.

Should we go further ahead to where the mid-level gods and high priests are?

Damdeok thought for a moment and slowly shook his head.

no.

The gap between low-level gods and middle-level gods was clear, but it was not as big of a difference in skill as heaven and earth.

‘Intermediate gods also have an ambiguous feeling.’

If you start from the highest level of magic, you might be able to gain some small insight.

Rumbling! Flash!

I looked ahead at the flash of light in the distance.

It was located far ahead of where the mid-level gods and high priests were located.

The terrifying black and white flashes of magic that appeared to belong to Vermouth and Karos were clashing ceaselessly.

‘good. Let’s go from there.’

A small wind rose beneath the feet of Damdeok, who grinned, and his body was instantly blown away.

* * *

The source of the black salt vortex in the northern forest.

Damdeok, who had infiltrated the place where the culprit of all this was, was watching the bloody battle between Vermouth and Karos from behind a huge rock.

‘It’s scarier than I thought.’

Their bloody fight looked so flashy and dangerous that it was reminiscent of CG in a movie.

Kwakwakwakwa!! Rumbling!!

Flash!! Kwaaaang!!

When pure white flame spewed out from Vermouth’s staff, black flame always shot out like a cannon from Karos’ hand.

As black and white collided, huge explosions were heard one after another, and the surrounding area became bright and dark repeatedly to the point where it was difficult to see.

‘what? Unlike with Neptune, the two don’t look the same.’

Certainly the appearance of the two was very different.

The man named Carlos had long black hair that was loose and his features were not clearly visible, but judging by his physique and the fierce eyes that peeked through his hair, he had an aura that was much younger than Vermouth.

‘Aren’t all forgotten gods just another ego of that god?’

I don’t know what the relationship between the two is like.

Honestly, I’m not even curious.

Damdeok just watched the battle between Vermouth and Karos with bated breath.

I wondered if I could gain enlightenment by observing the great magic of the two gods, the link between the 3 circles that I had not yet been able to pull off, but it was not as easy as I thought.

‘Hmm, is circle 2 the limit right now?’

Damdeok frowned and tried to release a fireball onto his hand.

How long has it been?

Damdeok’s eyes, as he stared at the battle between the two gods and his own hands, slowly began to widen.

It wasn’t because I finally realized the principles of magic.

[this guy! Karos!!]

[…Only the old man’s physical strength increased.]

It was because I discovered something strange in the battle between Vermouth and Karos.

puck! Crash! Kwasik!

Karos, with his fists covered in overflowing black flames, throws a series of powerful punches.

Vermouth was also swinging his staff quickly and struggling to block Carlos’ heavy punches.

[bouncer…! I loved you so much!]

[I never asked you to do that.]

Ta-da-da-dak! Burbubbuk!

The familiar sound of close-quarters combat was heard cheerfully in Damdeok’s ears.

A close-quarters fight scene in a magical world.

It was an unexpected development.

‘…What do you mean physical attacks work on the gods of the magical world?’

Physical attacks did not work on the monsters of Atlaum. I thought this rule also applied to gods, right?

Damdeok quietly extinguished the flame that appeared on his palm.

The reason he didn’t even think about fighting Karos in the first place was because his opponent was a god of magic.

Can’t you use magic yourself?

But does physical attack work?

Damdeok’s eyes wavered slightly.

I quickly launched the Gods’ Store and started scrolling down.

“Not this, not this, but there was definitely something I saw last time…”

Immediately, the hand stopped in one place.

“I found it!”

Two pieces of equipment with a golden shine appeared before my eyes.

[Hercules’ Lion Armor (Myth)]

Description: Armor made after killing the Nemean Lion.

Effect: When equipped, physical defense increases by 500%!

[Hercules’ Olive Tree Club (Myth)]

Description: Hercules’ club carved from an olive tree. The actual club used to kill the Nemean Lion.

Effect: Gives all living creatures a 100% chance of inflicting the abnormal status effect ‘stun’ (※ However, it must be hit exactly on the head).

Equipment of the gods that I have been eyeing for quite some time.

Below the description of the equipment emitting golden light, there was a text about the set effects.

[Hercules’ set effect activates when wearing armor and weapons at the same time!]

[All physical attack power and physical defense power increase by an additional 500%!]

I can assure you that there is no equipment set in the world that has such a terrifying effect.

Of course, this is limited to the human world.

If you ask me why I never bought it even though I knew it was so great…

A short sigh escaped Damdeok’s mouth.

“…It was so expensive that I couldn’t bring myself to buy it.”

Even if it were the name of Hades or Apollo, the amount was too much to buy these equipment.

Maybe you have to do something like pulling the sun chariot at least 12 times to survive?

I tried to buy it someday when the opportunity came, but there was always something I had to buy every time, and

for now I had to be content with the imitation club that Snow White transforms into.

But I never thought that opportunity would come so quickly…

Damdeok’s gaze turned to Vermouth.

‘The value of the name of the Supreme God is very high.’

If he lives up to his name, Hercules’ equipment set will not be just a dream.

The two are still fighting fiercely behind the rock.

Unlike the first time, when it was a whistle, Vermouth was gradually being pushed out by Carlos.

[Ugh! Innoom!! Karos!!]

[Hmph! The old man’s struggle is also ugly.]

‘It’s just as Ju So-yul’s prophecy.’

In a way, it was a natural result.

Vermouth had no idea of Karos’s hidden power.

Instead of high-level gods, they only hired mid-level gods to fight this battle, and even pushed everyone back while shouting that safety comes first.

Of course, there was no one around to help Vermouth.

“Except me.”

The corners of Damdeok’s mouth slowly rose.
