I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 70

#70. The land of ice, Niflheim (2)

Creatures seen for the first time through holes.

‘One, two, three, four… What, there must be more than 30 people?’

Damdeok’s mouth opened of its own accord.

Truly an overwhelming number.

As all the dust settled and Damdeok was able to see the creature in more detail, he felt the strength in his hand holding the sword loosen.

– Again! Appeared again!

– What should I do? What now?!

Dozens of creatures struggling around. They had skin as transparent as ice, and they were very… very, very small.

Niflheim’s mascot

was .

Few people would want to fight when they see such cute dwarves.

The same was true for Damdeok.

A smile suddenly spread across his lips.

“Hehe, what is it? Are you really a dwarf? Wow… it’s so small.”

At most, it’s about the size of a palm.

Each of them wore cute hats and their expressions of fear towards Damdeok were quite cute.

‘The eyes, nose, and mouth are all in that little face.’

The reason this cave was unusually narrow was probably because it was a dwarf’s cave.

‘Still, it seems like it’s quite spacious inside?’

I took one step further into the hole that Damdeok had made.

Then the ice dwarves get scared and step back.

– Ahh! Don’t come any closer!

– okay! Do not come!

– If more comes, we’ll fight!

– okay! We will fight!

A grin escaped.

‘They’re just like the fairies I saw in comic books when I was young.’

For some reason, it felt similar to when I first met the little dwarves.

Damdeok didn’t want to startle these little creatures.

“Now, everyone, calm down. “I am not the enemy.”

First, I decided to put away the magnificent Excalibur in my hand.

Snow White, who was completely transformed in an instant, jumped down in front of the dwarves with bright eyes.

– will!

But was it counterproductive?

– Sigh! The sword transformed into a fox!

– He’s a wizard! The curse wizard has appeared!

The dwarves were startled and ran away to a corner.

“ah.”

I was embarrassed.

I was about to add something, but the frightened dwarves started whispering among themselves.

– What do we do? Even the curse wizard came. He must be Loki’s henchman! Did you know everything?

– But… but! He’s not something we hid from him!

– that’s right! He came here!

– You idiots! If you say that, everything can be heard over there!

– Hike!

They talk among themselves and are surprised among themselves.

Awarded.

‘Loki…?’

Damdeok suddenly opened his eyes.

Isn’t Loki a famous mischievous god in Norse mythology?

“Loki’s men are coming here? “Who were you hiding?”

The dwarves’ faces turned pale.

– Hehe! no!

– We didn’t hide anyone!

– that’s right! Really! I just hid his hammer, just in case! That god doesn’t even have a finger… Eup!

The dwarf who made the last mistake hurriedly covered his mouth.

Damdeok’s eyes became even more gloomy.

“hammer…? “God…?”

The image of a hammer comes to mind.

And one related god.

‘This was the land of Norse mythology, right?’

Loki…

the god of the hammer…

Norse mythology…

Damdeok’s narrowed eyes opened wide little by little.

“What can’t it be… Thor?!”

* * *

A place where a bonfire is burning.

Damdeok and his party looked at the large man sitting in one seat.

[Ugh! This is true! Loki, I was fooled by that guy again. That guy’s pranks are truly top-notch!]

White Cloud’s eyes lit up at the sound of Thor’s boisterous laughter.

“Wow, it’s really Thor… It’s so amazing to see it again.”

Adele Sharon, who was sitting next to me, had a sour expression.

Damdeok asked.

“So you’re saying that the massive avalanche that happened earlier was Loki’s doing? Are you trying to keep you here?”

[Oh, maybe so. Loki, that guy has a vain dream of forming an army in Niflheim. Stupid guy.]

“Somehow… That kind of large-scale avalanche isn’t common…”

Damdeok glanced at Joo-yul muttering and asked again.

“But why haven’t you left yet?”

Thor scratched the back of his head in embarrassment at that question.

[Well… I couldn’t get out. Niflheim’s eyes are so special. Haha. Even my hammer won’t break it.]

Damdeok’s mouth opened small.

‘An eye that can’t be broken by Thor’s hammer?’

This situation was serious.

Even Mjolnir, which can destroy everything, can’t do anything about it.

A sigh came out naturally.

‘I guess I’ll just have to wait for the snow to melt.’

Thor may or may not have been aware of those feelings, but he just smiled kindly and stroked his hammer.

[Khaha! What’s so bad about dying? Don’t worry too much. Anyway, it’s just a block of ice. The snow will melt quickly within a few days.]

Who doesn’t know that?

I just don’t want to waste time.

‘I wouldn’t be able to properly train my sword in this narrow cave.’

It was then.

Ju Soo-yul, who had quietly closed his eyes, opened his mouth.

“Good.”

“what?”

Damdeok looked at Jusoyul curiously.

Wasn’t she the one who always said that we had to gather the 12 guardians in the prophecy as soon as possible?

‘I look like I’m stuck, so what’s good about it?’

Jooyul was looking at the gap in the rock behind the bonfire.

Her mouth opened as if to whisper.

“You guys know how to get out of here, right? “Please let us know.”

Her words drew everyone’s attention to the gap in the rock.

Something crashing and crashing! There was a panicked sound, and an ice dwarf stuck out his head.

– Ooh, why do we have to do that! You guys are the ones who broke in at will!

“okay? “Then do you want to live here with us until the snow melts?”

The ice dwarf’s expression became even paler at Ju Ju’s words.

For a moment, the dwarf’s eyes turned to the large Thor, who was picking his ears.

– If the God of Hammers is here, the Wizard of Curse will appear again…

The guy who was muttering to himself shakes his head vigorously.

– Now wait a minute!

It pops right away! The guy who went back in had a discussion inside and stuck his head out as if he had decided on something.

– good night! I’ll show you how to get out! Make a promise instead! If I leave here, I will never come back again!

“I promise.”

At Jusoyul’s words, the dwarf quietly walked out.

After carefully assessing the atmosphere, the dwarf raised his right hand and shouted.

– good! Sort it all!

Then the remaining dwarves who were watching from the crevices in the rocks rushed out and started to join forces.

– Sort!

– Sort!

– Sort!

A group of about thirty people.

Unlike when I first saw them, everyone was armed.

‘Were you planning on fighting if you had to?’

But despite their intentions, their appearance was still very cute.

‘Kkeke, they look just like little soldiers.’

First, the dwarves in the front row had bandages wrapped around their fists and legs with solemn expressions, and they seemed to be in a fighting position.

In the second row behind them were swordsman dwarves wearing cute armor and holding small swords.

Among these, Hwaryongjeongjeong were the wizard dwarves in the third and last row holding wands and wearing conical hats.

‘Why are you looking so serious?’

Damdeok asked a question, trying hard to suppress laughter.

“So what’s the way out of here?”

– Very easy! It’s an attack with the same attributes as ice!

Same properties as ice?

Everyone tilted their heads.

– Follow me. I’ll show you!

The ice dwarves led everyone towards the entrance of the cave.

It was a small cave, so it didn’t take long to arrive.

“Wow, it’s really melted to dust.”

Adele Sharon grumbled.

The entrance to the cave, still clogged with snow, was not much different from when I first saw it.

– Watch carefully!

An ice dwarf came out and took a stance.

Pure white magic began to gather in his two fists.

‘Hmm, that wouldn’t be of any use.’

Damdeok thought.

Even though he had fired such a flame slash earlier, there wasn’t even a scratch on the snowball.

Besides, it’s a snowball that even Thor can’t break, so how can he do it with such a small fist…

– Sigh!!

However, with the sound of cheering, the frozen snow crumbled so easily.

“omg.”

“Nonsense.”

Adele Sharon and Baek Cloud let out exclamations at the same time. The dwarf who demonstrated shrugged his shoulders, as if he was proud.

– Did you see it? like this! If you attack with the same ice attribute, the snow will shatter!

A light of hope appeared on everyone’s faces.

But Thor, who was watching quietly, shook his head and laughed.

[Hey little friend. When are you going to break it down to the size of a pea and get out?]

It was just as he said.

The ice dwarf’s punch was certainly great, but the actual area that was shattered was not large, no, it was very small.

It’s about the size of a small potato.

The entrance to the cave was about the size of fifty large potatoes.

It may be possible to destroy the entrance, but the punching power is not enough to create a path until the ground is visible.

There was silence for a moment.

Baekgureum asked urgently.

“In one shot! A little louder louder! “You can’t do that?”

– …impossible. As you can see, this level of punching power is limited by our small physique.

There was silence once again.

Adele Sharon waved her hand and helped.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Because there are thirty dwarves. “If we hit it all night long, we’ll be able to get out.”

At those words, the dwarves shouted as if they were angry.

– That’s nonsense! If we do that, all of our magical energy will be lost!

– okay! We must also save our magic power for hunting!

– The gods haven’t done anything for us! Why do we have to make such sacrifices!

“what? “Then what do you want to do?”

“How are you going to let me get out of here?”

“You said earlier that you would let me go out, but you wouldn’t come again?”

When Damdeok and his party asked with puzzled faces, one of the ice dwarfs proudly shouted with his hands on his hips.

– Simple! You are going to destroy it yourself! Learning ice attribute attacks is not that difficult!

Everyone’s expressions became subtle at those words.

What do you mean at first? The more the faces think about it, the more they think, ‘Hmm? It was changing to ‘Isn’t it bad?’

“…Are you going to tell us about ice attribute attacks? Hmm, just looking at it, it doesn’t seem to be any different from magic. good! Then, of course, Archmage Adele cannot be left out!”

I don’t know what it is, but Adele Sharon, who is excited about learning the magic of another world, says,

“Oh! “Then, will I be able to do flame slashes like Damdeok’s?”

Baek Gureum, who was excited only at the thought of defeating Damdeok, asked,

“Are you sure you’ll also get an ice cut skill following the fire cut?” No. Maybe martial arts skills like ‘ice breaking’ will appear?”

Even Damdeok is excited at the thought that he can become stronger in the future.

Just when everyone was excited to learn a new skill, Thor poured cold water on them.

[Khaha! Hey dwarf friends. Only your Niflheim races can handle ice attribute mana, right? How are you going to teach the young chicks about mana, which even I, the god of thunder, can’t handle?]

The ice dwarves snorted at Thor’s words.

– You, the god of thunder, have too strong a lightning attribute to handle ice!

– then! then! It’s different for mid- and low-level gods whose attributes are not yet clear!

– ruler! Anyone among you who has even a little bit of ice attribute mana, come forward!

– The lower level water attribute is also good!

– If you only have a speck of mana in your body, you can learn how to amplify it from us!

The ice dwarves looked confidently at Damdeok and his group.

‘Quickly learn and get out of here! It was an expression that said ‘Strangers!’

But there was only awkward silence in the cave.

The ice dwarves were embarrassed.

– what? What’s wrong with you?

-Why is no one coming?

– Even if the ice attribute mana is the same, the water attribute is the basic of basics! Yours! Didn’t you graduate from the Academy of the Gods?

The dwarves shouted provocatively, but Damdeok and the others just looked at each other blankly.

There’s no way we would have gone to the Academy of the Gods…

– What is it? There really isn’t…?

– Then you can’t learn…?

As the dwarves became even more embarrassed and trailed off, Baekgureum finally understood the situation and cried out! I lost my temper.

“are you kidding?! There’s no way we graduated from the Academy of the Gods in the first place! “Take me out right away, you dwarf shitbag$#%&!!”

Leaving behind the glowing white clouds, Ju Ju-yul quietly opened his mouth.

“I have many skills, but I have never focused on learning attribute mana. Adele, since you graduated from the Magic Academy, aren’t you able to handle attribute mana by element?”

Adele Sharon looked embarrassed at those words.

“It was definitely like that when I graduated from the Academy, but… this time, when my mana deficiency got better, all my mana disappeared too?”

“You kept accumulating mana after that, right?”

“Ah, after that, I only collected a lot of fire attribute mana…”

Adele Sharon laughed as if she was embarrassed.

“We’re really screwed…”

Adele Sharon confidently protested in response to White Cloud’s sighing murmur.

“There’s nothing you can do, right? Vermouth, the god of great wizards, only deals with flames as beautiful as the sun. To be honest, I don’t really care about other mana…”

The ice dwarves were left dumbfounded by Adele Sharon’s honest words.

Don’t the original gods learn all attribute mana through culture at the academy?

This was the first time I had seen gods confidently say that they had not learned anything.

Thor burst out laughing and sat down as if he knew that would happen.

[Hey guys. I told you so. After all, snowballs melt over time. Until then, let’s take it easy~]

The dwarves’ faces turned into tears.

– No…

– Our precious home…

was at that time.

Damdeok, who was staring into space, muttered quietly.

“…I think I’m there?”

Everyone’s eyes, including Ju Soo-yul, turned to Damdeok.

In the first place, no one expected Damdeok and Baekgureum, who used swords as their main weapons, to have attribute mana.

Moreover, Damdeok hadn’t said a word since a while ago, so I assumed he wasn’t even there.

But there is…?

Damdeok slowly lifted his eyes from the air and smiled.

“Oh, I forgot about it for a moment too. “I didn’t know this was attribute mana.”

Before he knew it, blue energy was gathering in Damdeok’s hands.
