I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 53

#53. Vermouth, God of Flame VS Karos, God of Black Flame (3)

!

Carlos’ body staggered with a dull sound.

The stun effect is supposed to hit the head exactly, but Karos twisted his head in that split second and got hit in the shoulder.

‘This reaction speed is no joke.’

As soon as Damdeok realized that the head attack had failed, he quickly pulled back.

[Ugh…!]

Carlos’ eyes sparkled through the black hair blowing in the air.

How dare you hit me?

I could see black flames slowly gathering around my bloodshot eyes.

It was a sight that would have made an average low-level god shiver, but Damdeok was more surprised than scared.

‘Why are you so agile? No, and no matter how bad your hair is, is it still that good?!’

It might seem like the previous attack was just swinging a club with all your might, but it wasn’t.

It was an attack in which he poured all his spiritual power into it.

The sound of the heart can be heard from the muscles swollen due to physical strength.

‘I expected it, but it’s more monster than I thought?’

Isn’t that so?

Currently, physical attack power is increased by an additional 500% due to Hercules’ set effect.

Defense is also at 1000% due to the set effect.

Both in numbers and in reality, the increase in attack and defense power by 500% and 1000% was an enormous figure.

This means that if it were not the equipment of the gods, such a fearsome option would not even be dreamed of.

‘But even after being hit by an attack that applied all of that, it’s still so fine.’

Before my eyes, Carlos was not just fine, but he was even more desperate than before.

[This is the first time that the lower god who lived and lived is the first time.]

Karos, who spoke bloodyly, turned his shoulders and roughly sprinkled Vermut’s hand holding his arms.

Percussion!

He was shaken off so forcefully that Vermouth’s hand fell helplessly.

Carlos must have been really annoyed by Damdeok, so he didn’t even look at Vermouth, who had left.

Damdeok held his stick in silence.

‘It’s real from now on. Anyway, if it hits just the head, there is a 100% chance of being knocked out.’

Damdeok knew about the deceptive options of the Hercules club.

This terrifying fight will end depending on whether or not you hit that guy’s head from the beginning.

‘okay. ‘You only get one chance.’

Damdeok, who was making eye contact with the lifeless Carlos for a moment, secretly looked at Vermouth.

Vermouth was drawing something in the air with his hand thrown away by Carlos.

‘yes!’

A faint smile appeared on Damdeok’s lips.

[huh? what? Unluckily, he suddenly saw something and laughed…]

Carlos followed Damdeok’s gaze and turned to the back.

The pitch-black air of the sky is visible as soon as you turn.

No, it wasn’t air.

A spell of black letters was floating in the air.

[This is crazy…!]

Before Karos could take any action, Vermouth opened his closed eyes and began shouting a spell in a loud voice.

Saaaaa! Clap la la la rock!

In an instant, the letters of the spell floating in the air quickly enveloped Karos’ entire body.

[Quaaaah! Oh my! $#%@!!]

Shouts filled with profanity spread everywhere, and Damdeok nodded slightly.

“yes.”

Everything was going according to plan.

No matter how good Hercules’ equipment is, if it cannot hit the opponent’s head, it is of no use.

It wasn’t enough to hit Karos’ head and knock him out with his current skills.

So Damdeok had just come up with a clever idea.

“Can you seal fire attribute magic?”

These were the words I had uttered as soon as I met Vermouth a little while ago.

Vermouth’s ancient magic that seals fire attribute magic.

The fact that Vermouth can even do such magic was information I picked up while working part-time as a substitute for a priest on a festival day.

Because the priests knew everything about Vermouth.

As soon as he heard the question about whether he could do sealing magic, Vermouth’s eyes widened and Karos was quick to sarcastically ask if he was just siding with a low-level god.

Since he was probably a low-level god who could be crushed at any time, he seemed to regard it as a fun and interesting topic in the current situation rather than a threat to himself.

?Vermouth.?

?So, can I do it now??

?No, you have to give it to me.?

?What… do you mean??

?Nothing in this world is free. “You need to pay for the strategy consulting fee.”

“….”

Thanks to this, I was able to give Vermouth hints about the sealing magic and even purchase a Hercules equipment set at the Gods’ Store.

‘The operation began from then on.’

Just by asking whether it was possible to seal fire attribute magic, Vermouth would have had a rough idea of what the lesser god in front of him was thinking.

And what you need to do next to make the operation a success.

This was the reason why the sealing operation was so successful even though there was no specific discussion about this operation.

‘It ends here. ‘It’s a meaningless ending.’

I looked at the scene in front of me.

Vermouth stood in front of the tightly bound Carlos with a stern expression.

[You’re so foolish, Karos…]

Karos was tied up in a spell and couldn’t do this or that.

The black hair that had been majestically rising into the sky had also returned to its messy state, covering the entire face.

[damn…! [How dare you use such an old-fashioned technique!]

Vermouth smiled bitterly at Karos’s words.

[Hehe, okay. It’s an old-fashioned trick. Attribute sealing takes a long time and is a noisy operation, so no one but an idiot will get caught. But aren’t you caught up in that old-fashioned trick now? Karos.]

[Shut up!!]

Karos seemed to be quite upset by Vermouth’s words and started shaking his body and going crazy.

The roar was so loud that I could feel Baekseol, who was hiding inside the lion’s back, digging deeper inside.

Damdeok walked without saying a word, holding his club.

Jump and jump.

Carlos, who was shaking his body like an animal, screamed in the direction where Damdeok was walking.

[How dare a lesser god!!!]

Damdeok silently aimed his club at him.

Cheok!

“bye.”

Whoa!

A dull sound rang out, and Carlos’ harsh words and actions quieted down in an instant.

Slurp.

Vermouth, who had become quiet, looked at the back of Carlos’ fallen head with a somewhat bitter look on his face.

I can roughly guess what he is thinking.

‘Just by looking at them, you have sympathetic eyes.’

But that is a complacent idea.

“If it ends like this, it will only happen again.”

Despite Damdeok’s deliberately cold words, Vermouth was unable to open his mouth.

[Karos… was just a disciple who wanted to be recognized by everyone.]

“Is that so?”

[It did. When I first came into contact with the element called black flame rather than flame, I loved it like a child…]

Damdeok just nodded quietly.

Now Vermouth needs time to sort out his memories.

There was a red glow of regret and pity in his eyes.

[I thought everyone would like Karos’ cleverness… but that was my foolish belief. For some reason, humans who are passionate about burning flames fear and avoid the black flames of Karos.]

“Humans are creatures that reject things they are not familiar with.”

In fact, the pitch-black black flame flowing like a snake looked eerie no matter how many times I looked at it.

How shocking it must have been for humans to see that hundreds of years ago…

Karos, the god of black flames, was neither a god that humans would like nor a god they should remember.

That’s why he would have gradually been forgotten.

[…If I had known that earlier, I would have stopped Karos from being reborn as the God of Black Flame.]

Vermouth looked truly distressed.

Even without being told specifically, I was able to roughly guess the situation.

‘As soon as he became the God of Black Flame, he must have been rejected and forgotten by humans.’

Carlos would have gradually lost his spiritual power like that.

Humans worship the gods, but the gods must live in the memories of humans….

‘It’s a cruel fate.’

Vermouth, who was speechless for a moment, muttered as he looked at the pit of curse at the cavernous gate entrance in the distance.

[The guy who vanished in vain reappeared from that pit one day a hundred years ago. Hehe, it was so nice to see you…]

Vermouth’s eyes were already red and bloodshot.

And then silence came again.

How long has it been?

Vermouth barely opened his mouth and quietly turned around without saying a single word.

[…Karos. I will remember you.]

Vermouth slowly disappeared from sight.

Hwiiing.

A cold wind blows.

Damdeok snatched his nose and stuck the stick into his back.

“Well, this is something I don’t really want to do, Baek Seol.”

Snow White, who was writhing behind her back, quickly came out and transformed into a sword.

Sssssssssssssssss.

Pure white sword.

Karos is tied up and faints.

Baekseol, perhaps sensing Damdeok’s hesitation, begins to resonate.

“Yeah, I know. “It’s uncomfortable, but it’s something that can’t be helped.”

According to Jujuryul’s prediction, Karos would destroy half of the original Atlaum and kill numerous people before being killed by Vermouth and other higher-ranking gods.

‘It changed a little bit because I intervened.’

In any case, he had to die here.

Even if you show compassion, the same thing will only happen over and over again.

“Still, take comfort in the fact that there are people who remember you.”

Damdeok poured out the last of his divine power and struck Carlos down.

It was a wave cutting with all the strength of one’s body.

Quack!

[The final blow was successful!]

[Absorb the power of the forgotten god !]

[ ? You have risen to !]

[The sealed abilities are unlocked as the Moonlight Fox levels up!]

[ ? !]

[The sealed abilities are unlocked as the Moonlight Fox levels up!]

A system window popped up in front of my eyes, but for some reason I couldn’t smile this time.

* * *

“Wow, awesome!!”

Baekgureum exclaims and makes a fuss.

Before my eyes, a small flame appeared in Damdeok’s hand.

“The flames are pitch black! brother! Did you take that from that bastard? “How did you do it?!”

Baekgureum rolled his eyes and looked at Damdeok.

“Where did you get that killer lion armor? Wow, it’s really cool that you do everything yourself.”

Damdeok chuckled and turned Hercules’ armor into invisible mode.

As the armor and the club hanging behind it became transparent, White Cloud’s eyes sparkled even more.

“The gods’ equipment is convenient in many ways.”

When Damdeok, who returned to his normal clothes, closed his hands, the black flame that appeared was amazing! It fades away.

White Cloud, engulfed in excitement, took a step closer and his eyes shined.

“Don’t you think it would look cooler with that flame sword?! Please let me know too! “I told you that if you follow me, I’ll teach you martial arts or swordsmanship!”

“Later, man.”

“Ah, why later again! now! “Jig!!”

Baekgureum screamed loudly, but Damdeok waved his hand and looked away.

A system window appeared before my eyes.

‘Snow White’s level hasn’t risen since the time of Neptune…’

[Moonlight Fox (Lv.3)]

[Abilities: Hardness +9.4 Agility +4.2 Cleverness +5.6 Sharpness +7.3 Loyalty +3.9 Magic +6.4]

[ Attribute affinity: Water 35%, Fire 55%, Black Flame 99.9%]

The level has increased.

By killing Karos with the final blow, his level increased by 2.

‘As the level increases, the additional abilities gradually increase.’

Although it is very small, the fact that it is growing is important.

Moreover, there are encouraging changes.

‘Black flame attribute affinity is 99.9%.’

That ‘attribute affinity’ is a very broad term, so if the water attribute affinity was 35%, it meant that you could move freely in the water and the damage from water attribute attacks would also be reduced.

But the Black Salt affinity is 99.9%.

This was a figure that could almost be believed to be the black flame itself.

‘This is probably because the power of Karos was fully absorbed with the final blow.’

During Neptune, I absorbed only a portion, but this time, I felt a large amount of power being absorbed all at once.

Of course, that doesn’t mean you can handle a terrifying black flame like that guy right away.

‘It’s just inherent in the body. It will take time to handle it freely.’

In conclusion, my level of magic was still Circle 2.

But what does that matter?

From now on, isn’t it important that I be able to use a unique magic called ?

“What kind of hunter uses a sword, fists, a bow, and now uses black magic? “If you’re a true hunter, shouldn’t you focus on just one thing like me?”

Baekgureum, who got pouty when people didn’t listen to him, muttered in the corner.

“Hey, it’s not black magic, it’s black flame?”

“Tsk… Either that or that.”

Also, while I was holding Baek Gureum’s neck, who was slowly frowning, I heard Ju Soo-yul’s voice.

“Let’s go now.”

Damdeok asked back as he was in a headlock.

“What did Adele say?”

“They said they would stay here for a while. He said he wouldn’t be of much help anyway if his mana deficiency wasn’t cured. “Anyway, since I became a priest, you can sing if you want, but if possible, please don’t.”

“…What do you mean by that, bro?”

“…Well, I guess I’m just telling you not to call me that.”

“huh. that’s right.”

Ju Soo-yul spoke calmly and picked up Baek-seol, who was chewing on a bone.

“Are you done with your business here now?”

Damdeok quietly nodded in response to Jusoyul’s question.

Adele Sharon’s registration as a priest, which seemed impossible, went smoothly after defeating Karos.

‘Because Vermouth declared me a hero in Atlaum Square.’

The Supreme God’s sudden declaration It was an instant before the expressions of Adele Sharon, as well as the citizens of Atlaum, were filled with astonishment.

“how is it? Now, can you believe that I am a very cool and brave god?”

“It’s hard to believe it… But seeing Vermouth talk like that, it seems like he’s not a fraud at least.” ”

You’re saying that….”

“Okay, try it. what. “I mean, that priest.”

No matter what anyone said, she was a person who would die in silence if Vermouth said anything.

Of course, the fact that I was able to use black flame magic with just my own strength seemed quite interesting.

In this way, peace came to Atlaum.

Vermouth still seemed distressed about what happened to Karos, but that was not a matter for Damdeok to get involved in.

There is no reason to remain in Atlaum anymore.

“I’m ready.”

Addressul, who was fiddling with the system while looking into space, said.

“okay.”

Damdeok also launched the system.

[Should we use our divine power to move to dimension EA13 area ‘Earth’?]

Somehow, I feel like I’m returning home after a long time.

I felt hazy.

Of course, I still had to go on a journey to cure Adele Sharon’s mana deficiency, and there were ten guardians left to register as priests, but it still felt great to return home after achieving a certain goal.

Baek White peeks out her face from the back of her neck.

– will!!

“Kkeke, right? okay. “When I go back, I have to eat chicken first.”

Damdeok grinned.

I can barely remember when my daily life was peaceful.

Anyway, I’ll need time to regroup before starting my next journey, so I’ll have to eat plenty of chicken and beer when I go.

‘Eat well and train harder.’

It brings a smile to my face.

Damdeok touched the system with a light heart.

[You will consume ‘2300 Yudamdeok’, the value of God’s name, to begin dimension movement.]

[You will move to dimension EA13 area ‘Earth’!]

When you open your eyes, you will see an Earth with a peaceful landscape like any other time.

But

“Ah…ah!!! “A little!”

As soon as I returned, what I saw was a panoramic view of the village on fire.
