I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 71

#71. Loki, God of Mischief (1)

– Oooh!

– It’s definitely water attribute mana!

The ice dwarves erupted in cheers.

Damdeok grinned and looked at the blue mana fluttering in his hands.

‘The feeling of hitting still remains.’

It felt like I was stirring the water with just my palm.

Although inexperienced, mana control is quite acceptable.

The faces of the ice dwarves brightened noticeably.

– good! That amount is enough!

– Let’s get started right away!

Ice dwarves gathered around Damdeok and began to surround him with water attribute mana one by one.

While normal mana was a light sky blue, water attribute mana was a slightly darker blue.

Since it was almost indistinguishable with the naked eye, it was not surprising that Damdeok did not know about the existence of attribute mana.

– Now, let’s learn it step by step! Control first!

The ice dwarf standing in front began to gently roll water attribute mana.

Blue mana moves naturally along the dwarf’s arms.

The rest of the dwarves rolled their eyes, as if telling them to follow suit.

Damdeok imitated the movements in a hesitant posture.

“…like this?”

– Oh oh!

– I succeeded in the first attempt!

As Damdeok immediately followed suit, the ice dwarves each let out a happy exclamation.

Another dwarf quickly stepped forward, this time lumping mana into a ball and starting to throw it into the air.

The ice dwarves’ eyes told them to follow suit this time.

– Gather the mana together!

– Clump it up and make it into beads!

Damdeok frowned as he watched the ice dwarf throwing mana beads as if he were juggling.

“They said they would teach you, but they just told you to watch and follow. “How can you imitate something like that?”

However, contrary to what he said, three or four mana beads were already created in Damdeok’s hand.

– Oh oh?!

– what? you! It’s amazing!!

The ice dwarves erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

The class was going faster than expected, and not only Adele Sharon and Baekgureum, who were trying to follow along by sneaking a peek, but even Thor were dumbfounded.

“what. Why are you so fast by yourself?”

“Tsk… That guy always cooks and eats everything by himself.”

[…Why can’t the God of Thunder handle ice?]

Leaving behind their gloomy mutterings, the ice dwarf representative approached Damdeok with a bright smile.

– Awesome! You can go straight to the ice attribute! From now on, I will show you each step with connection movements, so follow along carefully!

At the same time as those words were said, thirty ice dwarves demonstrated the movement of converting water attribute mana into ice attribute mana.

It was much easier to follow because each movement was shown separately.

‘Hmm, are we gathering mana again? Aha, you mean to condense it like a snowball?’

Transparent, pure white mana began to form in Damdeok’s hands, as he diligently followed the ice dwarves’ demonstration.

The movements of the dwarfs who were demonstrating stopped for a moment.

– Wow…

– Real ice properties all at once…

The ice dwarfs’ pupils were already as big as they could be.

I said earlier that the ice attribute was easy to learn, but that meant that you would have to stay up all night for three days to master it.

But now, less than 7 minutes have passed since they showed the demonstration…

“It’s done!”

Along with Damdeok’s excited shouts,

[You have learned the principles of ice properties!]

[Achieved 10% understanding of ice properties!]

A cheerful notification sound rang out.

“They say it’s easy to learn, but is it true?”

In response to Damdeok’s question with a smile, the dwarves just nodded slowly, like dumb people who were just fed up with honey.

“Sheesh, they say the most unlucky thing in the world is being talented.”

Baekgureum, who had been diligently imitating the movements of the ice dwarves until just now, grumbled and put his sword back.

“…You too are talented. “Isn’t his nickname an Oriental swordsman genius?”

Baekgureum’s mouth protruded even more at Jusoyul’s words.

It certainly seems like it was like that in the past….

“The swordsman genius of the East is a piece of shit…”

Baekgureum kicked the cave floor with the toe of his shoe and got grumpy for no reason.

Adele Sharon, who was standing next to him, was also muttering something absently.

“…Freeze magic is a high-level magic, so I learned it all year long at the academy. “I failed even that…”

She was even skeptical about her magical life.

The same was true for Thor, who was sitting in the corner.

[Mjolnir… Why can’t you only use lightning… If you knew how to use ice, you would crush that guy Loki in one go…] As Thor, who was

fiddling with Mjolnir, became gloomy, the inside of the cave suddenly became gloomy. It was filled with murmurs.

“Oh, why are you like this? Everyone, please be quiet. I can’t concentrate. Concentrate! oh? done! “It’s done again!”

Damdeok screamed and then cheered as he saw the ice attribute mana flowing freely throughout his body.

“Shit, damn talented.”

“…I want to go back to Atlaum.”

[…Asgard.]

White Cloud, Adele Sharon, and even Thor muttered with gloomy expressions, but only Jooyul was looking at Damdeok with happy eyes.

‘As expected, gaining magical talent in Atlaum was a godsend.’

It’s not just magical talent.

Didn’t you also gain the talent for magic ‘research’?

These are talents given by Vermouth, the greatest god in the world.

Magical talent is only needed to use magic, but magic research talent will be of great help to Damdeok in creating new magic in the future.

As such, Damdeok’s potential with not one but two magical talents was naturally surprising.

– Oh oh!

– We even succeeded in infusing properties into the sword!

– Now all you have to do is break it down and get out!

Before Damdeok knew it, Excalibur was filled with ice attribute mana.

As the ice dwarves made a fuss and rejoiced, the other party members who were mumbling about their inferiority also began to shine with their eyes.

“what. “Are you sure you can go out?”

“This quickly?”

[Oh oh! Awesome!]

Damdeok confidently aimed Excalibur at the frozen entrance.

“Goes!!”

Quang!

The snow at the entrance shattered with a sound.

The destructive power was incomparable to the ice dwarf’s punch from before.

An area that can easily advance 1m.

Cheers erupted from the ice dwarf and Damdeok’s group at the same time.

– Wow!

– That’s it!!

“Good!”

“nice! Damdeok hyung!”

The ice dwarves pushed Damdeok’s group’s back in unison with excited faces.

– now! Now go straight ahead and you will be able to see the sun rising from the cliff!

– Just swinging until morning will be enough!

– Think of your sword as a shovel!

– cheer up!

– Let’s never see each other again!

As the ice dwarves waved their hands in unison with a relieved expression, Thor, who had said he was just going to rest in the cave, reluctantly stood up.

Damdeok stood in front of the entrance with Excalibur draped around his shoulder.

“Wow, that was good. “Shall we go then?”

* * *

Boom! Quang!

puck! Pow!

The sound of shoveling… no, the sound of swinging a sword.

Damdeok was completely out of breath.

“Sigh! Sigh! “Hey, doesn’t it feel like the air is getting thinner?”

We dug a snow-covered passage for quite some time.

It was becoming increasingly difficult to breathe, perhaps because everything was covered with frozen snow or because people were gathered in the narrow passage.

“what. Why aren’t you saying anything? “Is everyone listening to me…?”

Damdeok looked back and saw his companions dozing off while standing.

“…Uhm, the best sword in the world….”

“Hmm… I’m going to become a great wizard.”

[Ah…SGard….]

Damdeok’s eyebrows furrowed.

“These…”

“…I didn’t sleep.”

Ju Soo-yul, who suddenly opened his eyes, answered in a calmer voice than ever.

Damdeok’s eyes narrowed.

“I’m not sleeping, you bitch. “Is your voice already awake?”

“no. “I really didn’t sleep…”

“Just wipe your spit and talk.”

“….”

Ju Juyul quietly wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

Damdeok chuckled and picked up Excalibur again.

‘okay. It’s been a while since I left the cave, so I’m sure I’m sleepy.’

I don’t know exactly how many hours have passed, but the sun is probably already rising outside.

“There are two priests, but I do all the hard work!”

Quang!

“I’m really sleepy right now too!”

Quang!

“How far do we have to go through this damn ice passage!”

Pow!

It was then.

“uh? “Something has changed in the sound?”

I swung my sword with all my might once again.

Pow!

The sound has definitely become a bit weaker.

Jooyul, who was watching, comes closer and examines the snowball.

“It’s mixed with melted snow. “I guess we’re close to the exit.”

At her words, the other party members opened their eyes one by one.

“what?”

“Exit?”

[Has it finally arrived, friend?]

I can’t believe I’m finally waking up…

It was a very nerve-wracking situation.

“It looks like disgusting snow…”

Damdeok summoned up his remaining strength and swung Excalibur with all his might.

“Get everything out of the way!!”

Puffer!!

As soon as the snow collapsed, red light poured into my vision.

“Ugh.”

Damdeok hesitated and covered his eyes with one arm.

Is it because I’ve been in a dark passage for a long time?

The vision was so bright that I couldn’t clearly see what was in front of me.

Fortunately, Thor, the god of thunder, was accustomed to bright light, so he walked forward with great strides.

“Do you see something Thor?”

Damdeok asked, but Thor gave no answer.

‘what. ‘Why don’t you talk?’

Objects began to appear vaguely on Damdeok’s retina after he had adapted.

Numerous stones lined up on the other side of a sheer cliff… rocks… no, that…

“Monster…?”

Damdeok’s eyes grew even wider.

The same was true for Adele Sharon and Baekgureum’s address rate.

“Why are there so many monsters?!”

“It’s almost like the military, that thing.”

“There must be a few hundred of them.”

An army of black monsters filled the cliff on the other side.

They all had the same blue skin as the ice dwarves, but the atmosphere was quite different.

‘The size is enormous. ‘Are they giants?’

After being an ice dwarf, an ice giant…

Damdeok looked at the back of Thor, whose mouth was tightly shut.

He was silently flapping his cloak and glaring at someone.

‘Who are you seeing?’

I narrowed my brows and concentrated.

When the battle concentration skill was activated, a man of ordinary build was seen among the numerous ice giants.

‘what. ‘It’s not a monster, right?’

The man was extremely handsome.

A handsome man wearing golden robes and purple amethyst gloves.

Thor’s arm muscles seemed to twitch, and a loud noise came out.

[How dare you!!!]

The voice was loud enough to make everyone flinch.

Thor’s Mjolnir began to spin wildly.

[How dare you lock me up!! Rocky!!!]

Rocky?

‘That man is Loki?’

An infamous god called the in Norse mythology.

It was said that it was that god who caused the avalanche to trap Thor.

‘They say he’s good at handling ice…’

Apparently, that ice giant army has also been brought in to capture Thor.

‘This is going to be a hassle…’

Getting caught up in a fight between the two was an option I really wanted to avoid.

Thor, who was grinning, swung Mjolnir! He threw it and instantly flew over the cliff on the other side.

Quang!

A fierce battle unfolded with the sound of Mjolnir falling.

Of course, Thor seemed superior, but the ice giants were also formidable.

“…Um, should we help too?”

Baekgureum looks at Damdeok in response to Adele Sharon’s question.

Damdeok shook his head.

“We came here to find the third Guardian. “It would be best to avoid unnecessary fights as much as possible.”

It’s true.

Not only did I use up all my stamina by shoveling all night long, but I also felt uncomfortable turning against the infamous rookie Loki.

‘I know what kind of revenge I will take. ‘I barely managed to beat Hades.’

Now, if possible, I didn’t want to cause friction with other gods.

Fortunately, Adele Sharon and Baek Gureum accepted Damdeok’s words.

“Why are you interfering in the battle of the gods?”

“We need to find the guardian first.”

“Okay then.”

It was then.

Ju Soo-yul spoke quietly.

“No, you have to fight.”

Damdeok looked at her with a puzzled expression.

“…What are you talking about? We just need to find the third guardian.”

“therefore.”

Jooyul’s finger slowly pointed to the cliff on the other side.

“There is a third guardian among them.”
