I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 54

#54. Gate flooding

“Damn it, why aren’t the troops coming!”

“Avoid this way!”

“Kwaaaa!!”

Screams coming from everywhere.

Corpses strewn with blood and sprawling all over the burning, collapsing building…

Is this a dream?

Baekgureum was the first to run out, drawing his sword.

“What on earth! Did a dungeon break explode nearby?!”

Five or six goblins were killed by the sword he was swinging.

But even so, the screams coming from all over the place showed no sign of stopping.

‘Where on earth are the hunters and soldiers?’

Even if the dungeon break occurred, it makes no sense that there would be no support troops.

‘If the brakes go off, the waiting troops will arrive within 5 minutes.’

Is that all?

A system was already fully established to protect the lives and property of citizens by deploying double or triple layers of defense forces until the situation was completely suppressed.

In the military, after guerrilla fighting, the second most difficult thing was urban training under the assumption of a braking situation, so I guess I’ve said it all.

But right now, there are no fighting people around.

‘It’s a scene I’ve only seen in history books when a city burns down so defenselessly.’

The situation is not serious.

Damdeok hurriedly summoned the wolves.

– Crrrrr…!

– Crumbling…!

56 Deadly Hounds.

Since I had to save my spiritual power just in case, I didn’t summon the solar wolf.

He looked back at the wolves and calmly gave instructions.

“First, kill all the monsters you see. If there is anyone trapped under the rubble of the building, help them.”

– Cough!

– Sigh! Wow!

As many as sixty wolves ran out in unison.

Although their combat power is lower than that of the Sun Wolves, they are Deadly Hounds, which boast the highest rank among hounds, so they will do their job well.

“It’s faster than expected.”

I turned my head when I heard Ju Soo-yul mumbling.

She was staring straight ahead with a more determined expression than usual.

“What are you talking about?”

“….”

“What do you mean?”

At Damdeok’s urging, Jooyul slowly opened his mouth.

“This isn’t dungeon break.”

“what?”

“It’s not a dungeon. “It’s just a regular gate.”

Damdeok was speechless at her calm words.

“…A gate. “In the human world, gates aren’t this powerful, right?”

It is different from the world of the gods, where gates have been appearing steadily for the past hundreds of years.

The Gate on Earth only occurred about 10 years ago, and its risk was only one-tenth of that of the dungeon.

But look at the current surrounding situation.

This was a scene that could only be seen when a dungeon break of at least C rank or higher occurred.

“There is no way this is a gate….”

Damdeok’s eyes wavered uneasily.

Ju Soo-yul added, taking out a dagger from his waist.

“It means that the forgotten gods are starting to become stronger. If things continue like this, soon… guess what?”

I was drooling.

I knew what was going on without even hearing it.

“War of the Gods….”

That was impossible.

We have only been able to gather two of the 12 guardians in the prophecy.

And that’s just barely.

It wasn’t just a guardian’s problem.

‘My skills still have a long way to go.’

There were still so many things he needed to hone, including swordsmanship, martial arts, and archery magic.

‘Damn, I can’t believe I’m so short on time.’

Ju Soo-yul, who saw Damdeok clenching his fist, added.

“don’t worry. Fortunately, the energy of the forgotten god is not felt here. There are no such people as those seen in the world of gods. It’s probably not just here, it’s the whole planet. “It means that they are still small pieces.”

Damdeok didn’t say anything.

This was because the inner meaning of the word ‘not yet’ left by Ju So-yul felt scary.

‘Soon monsters like Neptune and Karos will appear here too…’

It was terrifying to even imagine.

At the same time, impatience came over me.

Ju Soo-yul, whether aware of his feelings or not, quickly ran out and swung his dagger as if he were dancing.

Every time she swung, the monsters fell like flower petals.

The place where the white clouds were standing was already annihilated. The same goes for where the wolves ran to.

– Ahhh!

Only now do I hear sirens from afar.

Soon, military helicopters and jeeps arrived one after another.

The situation was quickly being resolved, but Damdeok had no choice but to stand on the burning street.

* * *

“This is an unprecedented and unprecedented situation! “This is a matter on which the survival of mankind depends!”

Gate Management Bureau Secretary Kim Yu-na hits the table! I looked around the audience.

Hunters in suits were sitting around a long table.

All of them were national level hunters of 5 stars or higher.

Damdeok was also caught in the middle as a 6-star hunter.

‘It looks like things are getting serious.’

A small town in Seoul was burned down due to the gate, so the government, feeling a sense of crisis, summoned all national hunters.

12 5-star hunters, 1 6-star hunter, 3 7-star hunters, and 2 8-star hunters.

The hunters calmly kept their mouths shut despite the minister’s reprimanding question.

Minister Yuna Kim didn’t seem to like that very much.

“Why isn’t everyone saying anything? Today, 12 small gates exploded simultaneously in the metropolitan area. Three exploded in Seoul alone and nine exploded in Incheon, Gyeonggi Province. However, the response from the hunters in charge of each region was very poor! “Civilian casualties are at an all-time high!”

7-star hunter Kim Gap-cheol sighed and opened his mouth as Minister Yuna Kim continued to criticize him.

“Mr. Minister, I feel sorry for you when you say that. We don’t manage all the hunters in Korea, and wasn’t it unprecedented for gates to open at the same time? We are also in a perplexed position…”

“What a perplexity! If hunters, who are supposed to protect the people’s safety and property, are embarrassed, what should the people who lost their homes and families today do? yes?!”

Kim Gap-cheol glared grimly at the minister’s sharp attack, but soon fell silent under the reporters’ flash barrage.

Cheongunak, the man sitting in the highest position who was watching this, quietly opened his mouth.

“Today, our hunters have great responsibility.”

At his words, the crowd became quiet as if cold water had been poured on them.

“Of course, I cannot completely agree with what the Minister said, but regardless of that, shouldn’t the hunters gathered here ignore the national disaster, no matter what the reason? … However, 12 out of 18 hunters were late in arriving at the scene today.”

Cheongunak looked around the crowd with calm eyes.

The heavy silence continues.

Most of the hunters were sweating trying to avoid his eyes.

The hunters, who didn’t even bat an eye at the minister’s harsh criticism, find themselves reacting to every word from Cheongunak.

Damdeok found that sight very funny.

‘There is no separate Republic of Iris.’

Driven by momentum, 7-star Hunter Kang Ji-cheon supported Cheongunak’s words.

He also belonged to Iris.

“you’re right. Today, our Iris hunters arrived at the scene faster than anyone else and worked hard to clear the wave. “There were quite a few hunters who arrived late at the site today, but isn’t it a big problem that a 7-star hunter who is supposed to set an example is late?”

Kang Ji-cheon suddenly sniped at Ju So-yul with a sharp voice.

Namgung Do-eok, who was sitting across from him, looked at Ju So-yul with concern, but she didn’t say anything.

Damdeok felt somewhat sorry.

‘You can’t say you’re working part-time for the gods with me.’

It was an awkward situation.

Baek Gureum, who was sitting in the last seat, was also from Iris, but seeing as he only talked about the address, leaving out the fact that he was late, there was no such thing as Naero Nambul.

‘Is that how he trampled on his competitors and became the right-hand man of heaven?’

Kang Ji-cheon has a gentle and handsome face, but his actions are extremely rude.

He smiled as if he had won and spoke clearly and deliberately as if he wanted the reporters to hear.

“Address rate hunter, listen carefully. Starting at 7 stars, you are in the position to represent Korea as a national top hunter. It is a different location from the 5 and 6 stars here. I hope that from now on, we will be able to protect the lives of our precious citizens.”

Those were truly arrogant and arrogant words.

The expressions of the Sangun hunters, including Namgung Do-eok, suddenly hardened.

As the atmosphere suddenly became tense, Minister Yuna Kim spoke again.

“Hunter Kang Ji-cheon? This is the place where I am asking questions about this situation. Personal feelings between the two guilds must be excluded…”

“Can’t I really speak out?”

“…What what?”

The minister asked as if it were absurd, but Kang Ji-cheon just turned off the microphone.

The minister’s authority in front of the hunters had long since fallen to the ground.

“I’m so shocked…”

The minister continued to drink bottled water and the reporters were busy recording the situation.

An event to criticize state-level hunters quickly turned into a battle of images between large guilds, but no one was swayed.

It was a scene I had already become accustomed to.

Cheongunak quietly opened his mouth.

“This gate flooding incident is truly regrettable. As the Minister said, I also feel a heavy responsibility as the leader of a top guild.”

Cheongunak added slowly.

“Therefore, the Heavenly Demon is requesting that Iris and all of you gathered here join forces to carry out a large-scale gate suppression operation.”

The minister’s expression brightened at Cheongunak’s firm words.

This is because he acknowledged himself appropriately and at the same time came up with a solution to this situation.

The atmosphere was absolute.

Who would dare to reject the subjugation operation proposed by the head of a world-class guild with a great cause behind it?

The reporters nodded and set off flashlights as if they knew it would go like this.

Namgung Do-eok also encouraged his hunters by saying that there was nothing they could do now.

But

“I will leave.”

With one word from Damdeok, the conference room suddenly became quiet as if cold water had been poured on it.

“…Are you going to fall in?”

Cheongunak’s thick eyebrows twitched.

Afterwards, Kang Ji-cheon came to his senses and fiercely criticized Damdeok.

“under! What a shameless hunter. Not only was it not enough to be late during the gate storm, but you won’t participate in the large-scale subjugation operation? Is it okay for a hunter to be so selfish? huh?!”

“Kkkk, that’s right. Moreover, after Hunter Yu Dam-deok was promoted to 6-star, he refused all requests for cooperation from the government.”

Cheon Jung-ak, who was sitting in the corner, grunted and helped.

Damdeok lightly ignored him.

‘Do you know anything about the government’s request for cooperation?’

At that time, I would have been hard at work pulling the sun chariot.

“I’m going to fall in love… may I ask what the reason is?”

Cheongunak quietly closed his eyes and asked that question.

Damdeok answered without a moment of hesitation.

“Because it’s useless.”

A reporter who was drinking water on one side exclaimed: It spat out water.

Silence came again.

Everyone was looking at Damdeok with shocked faces.

Seeing that everyone’s mouths were slightly open, they must have been quite shocked.

Only the white clouds sitting in the corner were giggling as if they knew that would happen.

‘Hmm, did I speak too honestly?’

But it’s true.

Isn’t the subjugation operation really a useless thing?

Removing the gate is not the end.

You must kill the Forgotten God, find the Gate Core, and destroy it once and for all.

Ultimately, only when the war of gods ends will all these misfortunes be put to rest.

The only way to prevent the disasters that were approaching at any moment was not to unite between guilds, but to find the 12 guardians in the prophecy and become even stronger than before.

“It’s useless… so bold.”

Cheongunak mumbled that, but Damdeok only shrugged his shoulders.

“After talking about it, I feel it more clearly. “If the only issue to be discussed here today is the gate suppression operation, then I will leave.”

Damdeok spun around.

I was nervous.

Even now, the forgotten gods are probably getting stronger, so we can’t afford to waste time on something like this.

“That young guy with his messy hair.”

“Guild leader. “Let’s get rid of that guy and do it ourselves.”

“you’re right! “It looks like he’s giving me a lot of power just because he’s a 6-star hunter, but you don’t have to have it!”

This was when Damdeok walked toward the door of the conference hall, ignoring Iris’s strong opposition.

Jump up!

Suddenly the door opened and a secretary with a pale face came running in, panting.

“We’re in big trouble! “The gate at Incheon Airport has burst!”

The secretary’s face was covered in sweat.

Minister Yuna Kim and several hunters jumped up.

“Damn again?!”

“Incheon Airport?!”

“But what are you doing here?! “We must deploy troops immediately to protect civilians!!”

Despite the hunters’ harsh instructions, the secretary urgently approached the minister and began to whisper something.

The minister’s complexion turned pale as he listened.

“What is it?”

“What on earth is going on?”

The hunters, who sensed something unusual, asked questions one after another.

Minister Yuna Kim’s face had already lost all color. With her lips quivering, she cautiously opened the door.

“Incheon Airport… has disappeared.”
