I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 77
#77. Hunter Ranking No. 1 VS Yu Dam-deok (1)
âThis is crazyâ¦â
Cheon Jung-ak muttered a low curse.
So did his garrison men behind him.
âWhat is thatâ¦?â
âAre you humanâ¦?â
It took only about 20 minutes to change the Namsan area into its own jurisdiction, officially report it to city hall, and receive approval for gate suppression.
The approval came almost immediately, but the sight that unfolded before their eyes was nothing short of hellfire.
Grumble!
âKyahahaha! oh my god! I think Iâve already become an archmage? right? right?â
A blonde woman was spewing fire like crazy.
Namsan Gate B-44.
It was a medium-sized gate, so it would have been impossible to warm up in the past, but things were different now.
âThe guys crawling out of there are class A teratomas!â
Wow.
Cheonjungak ground his teeth.
Who on earth is that woman who instantly burns down those whose level of difficulty is comparable to that of A-level dungeons?
âWowâ¦â
âAre you a foreign hunterâ¦?â
âIt looks very exoticâ¦â
All the guards looked at Adele Sharonâs fire show with their mouths open.
The firepower was so strong that it seemed similar to a battalion armed with heavy weapons pouring out firepower at the same time.
âYou bastards! Did you see it?! Youâre an unauthorized intruder! âGo get it!!â
âYes yep!â
The garrison members approached Cheon Jung-akâs shouts, but had no choice but to retreat back to the road.
âI canât get any closer!â
âIf you go in blindly, you will burn to death!â
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The entire surrounding area is filled with red-hot flames.
Fire demon.
Cheon Jung-ak saw the appearance of a devil in the flames.
âThatâs crazy! Did that woman plan to burn the symbol of Seoul?
Cheon Jung-ak took a step forward with a burning sense of justice.
âHey you! Do you know what you are doing now?! Foreigners are not allowed to conquer the gate alone! âYou want to go to jail?!â
Although he was shouting loudly, Adele Sharon wasnât listening at all.
âKyahahaha! Iâm so happy! This is the power of the 6th circle! Iâm in the 6th circle!! Kyahaha!â
Adele Sharon achieved the 6th circle in Niflheim. This was thanks to his natural magical talent and the excellent guidance of the ice dwarves.
Since it was two levels higher than Damdeokâs 4th circle, she was already immersed in ecstasy as if she were a magical god.
âThatâs crazyâ¦! âYouâre not listening at all!â
It was a very crappy situation where I couldnât get close and I couldnât do anything to stop him.
âFuck you! âCall the police!â
In the end, Cheon Jung-ak lost his temper and had to turn around.
âWhat should I reportâ¦?â
âYou bastard! Do I have to tell you all those things?! âHeâs an arsonist who illegally occupied the gate and set fire to cultural assets!!â
What a historic place Namsan is in Seoul!
As Cheon Jung-ak fumed and got angry, the guard picked up the phone.
It was then.
âHey, you canât do that.â
Squeak.
In an instant, the guardâs phone was split in half.
The gaze of the frozen members and Cheon Jung-ak slowly moved towards the man holding the sword.
It was a familiar face.
Baekgureum, a boy with pure white cloud hair, smiled and drew his sword.
âAdele is an annoying guy, but itâs difficult to report it.â
Cheonjungak approached with surprised eyes.
âYou⦠why are you here?â
âme? âIs that because⦠the group is here?â
When Baekgureum shrugged his shoulders and said, Cheonjungakâs face crumpled.
Wait a minute, if itâs that bastardâs groupâ¦.
âIs that bastard Yu Dam-deok here too?!â
slap! Cheonjungakâs head turned sharply.
It was difficult to maintain visibility as flames were rising everywhere.
âFuck you! âI canât even see that crazy woman anymore.â
âWell, anyway, donât report it. âAfter Adele is done playing, Iâll clean up after myself.â
White Cloud said, twirling his sword.
Cheonjungakâs face became even more viciously distorted.
âplay? Play? The reason these bastards cross the line is because of their oiliness! Is that a game now?! Do you think the citizens will remain silent if Namsan burns down?! It would be better if Yu Damdeok was there too! âIâll let you go from being a humble hero to being a depraved arsonist!â
Cheon Jung-ak roughly took out the phone.
I planned to tell all of this to a reporter I knew. Of course, with a little popping added.
Baekgureumâs eyes suddenly turned cold.
âbrother. âIf you donât put it down right awayâ¦â
Cheon Jung-ak put down the phone before he could finish his sentence.
âFuck you. âThe look in your eyes is scary.â
gulp. Dry saliva passed over me.
The atmosphere was softer than before, so I forgot about it, but Baekgureum was a crazy guy who would do anything when he got angry.
Regardless of whether he was Irisâs successor or not, he was just an old man who would do whatever he wanted, so even if he provoked him for no reason, he would only be harmed.
ââ¦white clouds. No matter what you do, you canât stop Namsan from burning. âIt will be reported on the news anyway, and then Yu Dam-deokâs image will be over.â
Still, Cheonjungak said what he had to say until the end. Although it has become much calmer.
Baekgureum laughed playfully again.
âGiggle. What is fire? are you okay. âIt will go out soon.â
What are you talking about?
In my experience, such a fire cannot be easily extinguished even with ten special fire helicopters.
âOnce you turn it off, it will all burn out.â
As Cheonjungak was snoring, someone muttered from the center of the fire.
âIâve confirmed my skills sufficiently, so thatâs it.â
âAh~ already? âItâs a shame.â
âItâs a shame. âAll the gate monsters are already dead.â
The moment Cheon Jung-ak recognized the manâs voice and frowned, he said,
âKey-ing!â Damn it!
The overflowing flames froze in an instant.
âomg.â
Damn it! Awesome!
Pure white ice covered the raging flames.
Even the small embers fluttering in the air were all covered in ice, creating an ice sculpture reminiscent of a giant monster.
ââ¦.â
Cheon Jung-ak could not move.
The sharp blade of ice stopped in front of Cheonjungakâs eyes.
Damdeok, who was on the ice, saw Cheonjungak and laughed.
âwhat. âIs it you again?â
* * *
Iris Main Building.
Cheongunak, who was looking at the winding waters of the Han River, gently closed his eyes.
âSo what do you want to say?â
Cheongunak did not look back.
Therefore, Cheon Jung-ak was diligently pouring out a briefing on the situation behind his back.
The blonde woman who suddenly set Namsanâs medium-sized gate on fire by herself, and Yu Dam-deokâs skills that covered the enormous flames with ice. And the story of Baekgureum, who is part of Iris and follows Damdeok around, was not left out.
Cheongunakâs brow furrowed slightly.
âBaekgureum, that kid is one of the few talented people in Iris. âI told you to leave her alone because just being on our side helps us gain influence.â
Cheonjungak gritted his teeth at those words.
So what am I?
You always say that only other peopleâs children are precious, but what the hell are you saying about me, your son?
The words rose up in my throat⦠but I had to swallow them.
âThereâs no way my father would listen if I said something like that. In that case, you should run!â
Instead, Cheon Jung-ak decided to touch on an issue that his father is concerned about these days.
âfather. That guy, Yu Dam-deok⦠I think heâs turning into a monster. âNo, Iâm sure!â
As expected, Cheongunakâs shoulders flinched.
He slowly turned back and looked at his son.
âJust now⦠did you say it turned into a monster?â
Cheon Jung-ak nodded with the most serious look in his eyes.
Transformation into a monster.
A strange phenomenon that has been occurring recently, where normal humans gain the abilities of monsters.
In the past, it appeared rarely and was not much of an issue, but recently, as the difficulty of gates has surpassed that of dungeons, the number of hunters who are rapidly becoming monsters has been increasing.
âSuch children may be strong at first, but later their ego collapses and they become idiots who cannot even tell whether they are humans or monsters.â
Cheon Jung-ak smiled in remorse.
For a moment, I saw my father Cheongunakâs eyes shaking.
âThink about it. father. Damdeok Yoo, that kid was untalented. âThe guy who was begging until middle schoolâ¦!â
âstop. âAre you still bringing up your jealousy from your snobbery days?â
Cheon Jung-ak, who had been chattering excitedly, hardened his expression.
He spoke again with his lips tightly pursed.
ââ¦Father, do you really not know? Not only is Yoo Dam-deok the only one who awakened after his growth plates closed, but his growth speed is so absurd. âThey say itâs 7 stars, but itâs often said that Koreaâs first 9-star hunter will emerge.â
That was correct.
Damdeok, who was untalented, won the unprecedented title of 6-star hunter from the beginning. Moreover, not long ago, he was already ranked as a 7-star hunter by conquering dangerous dungeons and gates all over the world.
Itâs only been a few months since I woke up.
It was difficult to find a precedent like this in hunter history.
From the 8th star, you couldnât advance to the next level because there was a condition of having at least 10 years of experience.
There were quite a few people in the public who claimed that Damdeok had already reached the level of a 9-star hunter.
âUhmâ¦â
Cheongunak groaned.
He was the head of Iris, one of the worldâs top 10 guilds, and bore much of the responsibility for the defense of the Republic of Korea.
Normally, I would have ignored my sonâs argument and moved on, but the story about monsterization was never a matter to be taken lightly.
âThe damage was severe two days ago when a 5-star hunter was transformed into a monsterâ¦â
An incident in which a 5-star hunter whose ego collapsed due to his transformation into a monster committed a massacre of civilians in the middle of the city.
It was a terrible incident that left a total of 326 casualties and estimated damage amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars.
âIt was truly a disaster.â
An unprecedented situation in history in which all capital defense personnel were mobilized to capture humans, not monsters.
The incident that shook not only Korea but also international public opinion happened just two days ago.
âAfter all, he belongs to our guildâ¦â
After the suppression, the 5-star hunterâs affiliation was revealed to be Iris.
As a result, the stress of Heavenly Force was at its peak as they were reprimanded for failing to respond early and received harsh attention from the public.
But to turn into a monster again at this time?
It was natural for him to feel very uncomfortable.
Moreover, this time, it was a 7-star hunter, not a 5-star oneâ¦.
âEven a 5-star hunter was difficult to suppressâ¦â
Cheongunak frowned heavily and pointed at his forehead.
A trace of consideration was visible between the deeply furrowed eyebrows.
Cheongunak, who had been pressing his forehead for a long time, looked at his son.
ââ¦If, as you say, Damdeok, that child is truly in the process of becoming a monster, wouldnât it be better to first detain him at the Hunter Correctional Center?â
âIâm sure, so I have to detain him right away!â
The Hunter Correctional Center was primarily a place to reform and rehabilitate hunters who had become criminals, but it was also in charge of the treatment of hunters who had recently become monsters.
For example, there was a case where a two-star hunter who was in the process of becoming a monster was detained at the Hunter Correctional Center after being reported by his colleagues, thereby preventing damage in advance.
âIt would be better to nip dangerous time bombs in the bud in advance.â
We couldnât make another mistake at a time when we are receiving fierce criticism from public opinion.
After thinking about it, Cheongunak pressed the intercom on his desk.
Beep-!
âDirector Lee. Make an appointment to meet with Corrections Director Hunter this evening. âIf possible, I would like Inspector General Hunter to be there as well.â
The corners of Cheon Jung-akâs mouth turned up in a mean manner as he watched the scene.
âYou thought well. father. âThen shall I arrest you as soon as the protection order is issued?â
âThatâs nonsense. âHow can you arrest Yoo Dam-deok with your skills?â
Cheongunak glanced at the computer screen with todayâs schedule displayed.
âThe right person has decided to come along, so come with us.â
Cheonjungak tilted his head.
âIf itâs the right personâ¦?â
It was then.
smart! With a knock on the door, Irisâ Chief of Staff Han Mi-young came in.
âPresident. It is said that Mr. Leo Lux has arrived in the lobby. Should I ask you to come up?â
âOkay, you arrived on time. âTell them to come up quickly.â
As soon as the secretary left, Cheon Jung-akâs eyes widened.
âIf your father is Leo Luxâ¦?â
His fists were shaking slightly with a strange sense of joy and excitement.
Cheongunak slowly leaned back on the chair and said.
âYou too, take this opportunity to take a close look. âLeo Lux⦠no, what a monster the worldâs number one ranked hunter is.â
