#17. Feed Cerberus (4)
“There was something like this.”
As I slowly lifted the leash, Persephone, who was far away, approached me as if possessed.
“They say it’s dark under the lamp… “I never thought it would be hidden somewhere like this.”
Persephone looked at the leash with a vain look on her face.
“How on earth did you find this?”
How… .
To put it bluntly,
“… By feeling?”
“under. Nonsense.”
Damdeok asked back at Persephone’s empty laugh.
“Is this such a great leash?”
If you look at the number of stars assigned to the system, it is on the same level as Hercules’ club, but honestly, it is just an ordinary dog leash.
“of course. Cerberus is a symbol of the underworld. “Handling Cerberus is no different from dealing with the entire underworld.”
“But isn’t this a Hades thing?”
“Yes.”
“Then, as a part-time worker, I can’t use it?”
There was silence for a moment.
Persephone burst into laughter.
“does not matter. “I didn’t find it for you.”
“Is that true?”
“is it so. Her husband also told me to look for her leash whenever he got the chance. She said she would tame Cerberus if she really found him… .”
Persephone’s expression as she said those words was sullen.
‘It seems like a lot has been accumulated from my husband.’
Anyway, thanks to this, I had a chance to do whatever I wanted to that arrogant guy.
Of course, looking at the conditions, it didn’t seem easy… .
[Condition: You must first subdue the target to be able to put a leash on him.]
“Suppress?”
Below, in small letters, it is written that subdued means dragged into unconsciousness.
‘You mean to knock him out?’
It made no sense to stun Cerberus with my original skills.
But I think I can do it now. Anyway, I was still invincible, and now I could use divine power.
“How are you going to try it?”
Persephone asked with sparkling eyes.
It seemed like he was expecting something.
Vicarious satisfaction, what kind of feeling is that?
“of course.”
When Damdeok answered with a grin, Persephone nodded in satisfaction.
Cerberus had already chased all the dead towards the Gate of the Underworld, and was wandering around the broken pillar.
The three heads were still bobbing arrogantly.
I grasped the thick leash tightly.
‘Your arrogance ends today.’
If the training goes well, should we encourage them to obey Persephone’s words?
‘Hades would be quite upset if he found out.’
Does not matter.
I won’t be here by then.
“hey. “You dog”
Cheek!
Damdeok came out in front of Cerberus holding a leash.
– Crrrrr!
The guy had an arrogant expression on his face and waved his front paw as if telling him to go away.
“Well, I guess I’ve lost interest now that Damdeok is invincible.”
Just as Persephone said.
He doesn’t try to bite me anymore.
‘That doesn’t mean I’m less arrogant, but… .’
It seemed like he instinctively knew that I was weaker than him.
but,
“The situation is different from before.”
First, I transformed Baekseol into a sword to see if I could inflict any wounds, and then took all the poses.
Sreung!
A sharp, shining dragon slayer sword.
Divine power slowly gathering in both arms.
It was definitely different.
The overall feeling is firmer and heavier.
– Crrrrr?
Cerberus slowly raised its head as if it sensed that it was about to attack.
At the same time, the nymphs, under Persephone’s instructions, swarmed in and grabbed hold of the pillar.
– Cough! Wow!

When Cerberus’ teeth came in front of my face, I quickly threw myself between the creature’s front paws.
He rolled over to the side and quickly swung his sword.
Squeak!
Lightly cut hair.
Its black fur fluttered in the air.
“Good!”
Even though it wasn’t a big wound, the chances were good enough with this.
It was completely different from before, when I didn’t have a single wound.
‘As expected, there is a big difference between using divine power and not using it.’
When I concentrated my spiritual power on my arms, I felt like I could finish anything, and when I concentrated my spiritual power on my legs, my body became as light as a feather and developed explosive speed.
Not only did the overall strength increase, but all movements became more efficient.
– Crrrrr… .
Cerberus also made a grim expression when Damdeok’s movements were unusual.
– Cough!
I quickly retreated to avoid the fiercely charging guy.
Sigh! Teuong!
From here, the distance is unreachable due to the chains that bind it.
“How familiar is this scene?”
It was the same as before falling into the River Styx, but a little different.
“profit! God whose name I do not know! Please finish it quickly!”
“It’s hard to hold on to a pillar!”
Nymphs were clinging to the pillars with all their might. Thanks to this, unlike before, the pillar stood firm.
The enraged Cerberus began to run wild even more.
“Woojjuju. Okay, okay. “He’s nice~”
I leisurely walked around him.
Sigh! Wow! Sigh! Wow!
Cerberus repeatedly rushed and was stopped.
As the pillars continued to shake, the nymphs slowly looked at each other with resentment.
‘If I get caught by Cerberus, they might just hold it in my mouth so I can’t do anything.’
Even if I used my divine power, I’m not sure if I could open its mouth and come out, and even if I did, it would take a considerable amount of time.
‘So you have to finish it in one shot.’
Damdeok was aiming for one shot.
[Power intuition is unleashed!]
‘There it is!’
the back of the neck.
It was hard to see because it was obscured by three heads, but as I slowly looked around, I discovered its weak spot.
‘The color is lighter there.’
Didn’t you see it when you were doing the dungeon grind?
The monster’s weak point is transparency.
“Do it quickly!”
“If this continues, the entire pillar will be pulled out!”
Hearing the cries of the nymphs, he slowly increased his speed.
The speed seemed to be getting faster, and afterimages appeared as if there were more people.
Persephone’s mouth opened slightly as she watched.
‘Did he even have the power over speed?’
Usually, the power of a lesser god was one.
“I’m an amazing part-time worker… .”
Persephone smiled cheerfully.
Damdeok had no idea that what he was using was a ‘skill’ that only humans used.
A high-speed sprint that cuts through the air.
Damdeok was feeling tremendous joy. It was as if he were the god of the wind.
“Wow, this is amazing?”
It was thanks to Cerberus running at full speed earlier.
“Man, thank you?”
Damdeok goes near Cerberus’ ear and whispers,
“I’ll use it well from now on?”
I even touched it here and there.
Every time, Cerberus’s fangs clashed fiercely in the air… .
Perfect! Sigh!
In the end, it was a waste of time every time.
‘good. ‘At this speed, there’s nothing to worry about.’
“Let’s get this over with.”
Damdeok grabbed the white club that had suddenly changed.
“There has been a saying like this in our country since ancient times.”
The three heads of Cerberus rushed towards Damdeok, who quickly launched his body.
Perfect! Sigh! Perfect!
But everything they bit was an afterimage, and the body was already floating high on the back of the neck.
“A stick is medicine for a dog that doesn’t listen!”
Whoa!
With a dull sound, Cerberus’ huge heads were tilted back.
“it’s over… uh? what?”
I thought it was over, but the outermost head, which had been tilted back, began to struggle and open its mouth.
Pow!
He just hit me on the bridge of the nose.
He then rammed the club into his head as he attacked him.
A repetitive action that continues.
Everyone was watching the scene in fascination.
“It’s like playing whack-a-mole… .”
“This is the first time I’ve seen a lesser god treat Cerberus like that… .”
“Who is it?”
“well… Anyway, I feel sorry for you. “Cerberus is kind of obnoxious, right?”
“that’s right.”
The nymphs were already cheering for Damdeok with one mind.
To that sound, Damdeok struck the final blow.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The club of Hercules was once again placed squarely in the back of the neck.
It was an attack swung with all remaining spiritual power concentrated in the right arm.
– Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !
Cerberus’ six eyes turned white at the same time.
Kugoogung!
With a loud noise, Cerberus’ body fell limp to the floor.
Damdeok wrapped the leash in his hand around Cerberus.
Clap la la rock! Click!
“… Did it happen?”
“You will only find out when you wake up.”
Persephone, looking somewhat excited, approached and spoke.
“The leash becomes effective the moment the person wearing it recognizes it as the owner.”
“Hmm, I guess the only way to check is to wait in person.”
Damdeok muttered with his arms crossed.
“When will you wake up… .”
“Please relax and wait. You, a low-level rookie, can accomplish something that even I couldn’t do. “I’m a little embarrassed.”
Damdeok laughed quietly at her words. This is because she knows that she is saying this intentionally to flatter herself.
‘If there were no restrictions from Hades, I would have defeated Cerberus a long time ago and escaped from the underworld… .’
In any case, she is also one of the gods who rule the underworld.
“Rather, there is one problem.”
Persephone’s voice suddenly became serious.
“What’s the problem?”
“Now that Cerberus is unconscious, the dead will come.”
Damdeok’s eyebrows twitched.
“… “Didn’t you kick them all out earlier?”
As soon as he finished speaking, something like the sound of horse hooves was heard behind the gate of the underworld.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo!!
“It arrived sooner than expected. “Her husband was also away, so the will of the dead to escape is even stronger.”
Persephone began gesturing urgently.
How dare you!
The nymphs took out their weapons from the warehouse and lined them up.
Persephone shouted calmly.
“We have to stop it together. “The day even one dead person escapes, your life will be in danger.”
What she said was that Hades wouldn’t hold his wife and the nymphs responsible anyway, and would ultimately blame everything on me, the part-time worker.
“No, where is that… .”
“come! “Don’t let even one person cross the River Styx!”
Persephone was already holding a sword and running toward the gates of the underworld.
“No, wait… .”
Damdeok’s words could not continue.
The dead were already sticking their heads out from above the huge gate of the underworld.
Hudu-du-du-du-dap!
The dead were throwing their bodies down so recklessly that it was hard to tell if they were jumping or just falling.
puck! Pow! puck!!
The sounds of something breaking and breaking were heard one after another.
Despite the tremendous noise, the dead were able to easily get up and move forward.
“Ugh, it looks creepy!”
Appears the same as a normal human.
However, as it fell and hit, its limbs were twisted grotesquely and its internal organs were bursting out.
“It’s a zombie!”
Yes, they were similar to the zombies in the movies.
Damdeok swung his sword frantically.
Is it fortunate or unfortunate?
The combat power of the dead was almost non-existent, so it felt similar to cutting down a standing straw bale.
“Why are there so many!”
There was no end to cutting and cutting.
It felt the same as when I cut the white hands in the River Styx earlier.
As I was cutting frantically, skill messages were also appearing one after another in front of my eyes.
[

[
“Okay, I hope you have at least a lot of fighting skills.”
Is it because he was crowned Sword God?
Originally, only E and F grade skills were created, but now, skills that are one or two steps ahead of the first skill created are starting to appear.
“Are you guys going to cross on that?”
The dead attempted to float a long log on the River Styx, and the ‘wind sprint’ created by Cerberus came in handy each time.
“No one can go out.”
Sigh!
Several afterimages of Damdeok appeared and surrounded the entire end of the river.
“go back. “Anyone who comes towards the river will definitely die!”
As Damdeok’s words suddenly increased to dozens, the dead hesitated and retreated.
‘This is good in its own way.’
I’ve already gained a lot of useful skills.
‘I also knew how to use divine power.’
Swordsmanship also became smoother.
I definitely felt like I was getting stronger, so I was really excited to fight.
“yes. “Everyone, please go home quietly.”
Damdeok’s afterimages gradually narrowed the distance.
The nymphs who were lining up the dead, who were watching, killed them with a single sword.
“Nice play.”
After that, it was all smooth sailing.
In the end, not a single dead person could cross the River Styx.
“It’s simple.”
Although I gritted my teeth and blocked them because I was afraid of being killed by Hades, I felt proud when I actually defeated that many people.
“How is it. This is a perfect defense, right? My life was saved. haha.”
I expected to hear a kind reply from Persephone soon, but for some reason I couldn’t hear anything.
“Persephone? Why is there no answer… .”
Damdeok, who glanced back, had no choice but to freeze.
Logs thrown by the dead earlier.
Persephone riding it was moving away in the distance.
Waving both hands brightly.
“Hey… .”
