#56. Banquet of the Gods (1)
“… I’m serious?”
Ju Soo-yul’s eyes, which had always maintained his composure, opened wide.
“okay. “Why should I lie?”
Damdeok picked up a piece of chicken and responded.
“If you meet Hades, you will die.”
“I’m going to avoid dying. “You can’t just avoid it forever.”
“So you’re going to attack head on? “Where is the guarantee that you won’t die?”
“So, if I just avoid it, is there a guarantee that I won’t die?”
“… … .”
In an instant, Damdeok, who had only the bones removed, woke up, licking his appetite.
“No matter how much foresight you have, you can’t know everything.”
Ju Soo-yul’s body flinched at the word ‘Yeji’.
“… yes.”
“okay. So, I think it would be better to be sure about the Hades issue rather than blindly avoiding it.”
Addressul looked very confused. It seemed like he had a lot to say, but it also seemed like he was holding it in.
Maybe it’s because I don’t understand why I’m doing this.
But this is simpler than you think.
“don’t worry. Do you really think I’m going to die? “There is a way to everything.”
“Explain it so I can understand.” “I’m really embarrassed.”
“Kkkkkk, it just needs to be a place where Hades won’t kill me even if he encounters me.”
Soo-yul’s brow furrowed even more.
location? Where on earth is that?
Her eyes said so.
Damdeok grinned and pointed upward with his finger.
“The Banquet of the Gods.”
* * *
Iris main building, conference hall lobby 1.
Cheonjungak glared at the white clouds in front of him.
“You shameless bastard. “What are you?”
“what?”
“under! what? What?! Hey man. I told you to embarrass me. “Did you tell me to chase after that bastard?!”
Cheonjungak screamed, but Baekgureum pretended not to hear by licking his ears.
“Oh, what am I saying? They’re always picking on details like that.”
At that moment, a tendon appeared on Cheonjungak’s forehead, but he had to hold back because he didn’t have the confidence to hit the guy in front of him with force.
“Hey cloud. Where have you been and what have you been doing since that day? I haven’t seen or contacted anyone for a week. I thought I could finally see his face, but I still couldn’t see him even after the Incheon Airport gate opened. Is it okay for members of the same Iris family to do this? Is it because you don’t know how much my father loves you? This guy is worried about you… .”
Baek Gu-reum was not listening to Cheon Jung-ak’s speech.
He was just looking at the calendar on his phone and grinning.
“… What are you doing? “Are you listening to me?”
“Kkkkk, that’s really true. It’s only been a week. Wow, it’s amazing. “I think I was there for a good two weeks.”
“what? What bullshit… .”
Baek Gu-reum, who was smirking, roughly put his cell phone in his pocket and looked back at Cheon Jung-ak.
“Anyway, bro. Don’t tell me this or that anymore. The reason I did you a favor at that time was because I was interested, not because I wanted you to like me. Actually, you know that, right?”
Cheonjungak’s fist trembled at Baekgureum’s bold words.
“You bastard, you really… .”
Baekgureum smiled brightly, turned around, and walked away.
“hey! Where! Didn’t you hear that during the meeting just now?! “I told you that for the time being, everyone at the team leader level and above will be deployed to subdue the gate!”
White Cloud waved his hand.
“Oh, I don’t know~ I have to train with Damdeok.”
“What? Damdeok’s tongue?! Are you calling that bastard brother?! “Why did you say something to that bastard that you didn’t say even though you’ve been with me for 10 years, even though it’s only been a week?!”
Cheonjungak ran up and roughly grabbed Baekgureum by the shoulder.
When all the people sitting in the lobby looked at him, it was only then that he cleared his throat and gently let go of his shoulders.
Then he muttered quietly, as if ventriloquizing.
“Stop talking nonsense and follow me. “Because my father told me to have you participate in this subjugation operation.”
Baekgureum glared at Cheonjungak with a slightly annoyed expression.
“I don’t like it.”
Cheonjungak flinched and took a step back at those murderous eyes.
For a moment, Cheon Jung-ak’s face turned red at the fact that he was scared.
Embarrassment soon turned into anger.
In the lobby, Iris’s closest hunters were sitting together.
“This bastard really said let’s see!!”
When Cheonjungak, whose pride was hurt, raised his hand, Baekgureum sneered.
Cheon Jung-ak, who saw the laughable laughter, could no longer bear it.
As the future successor to Iris, I can’t just ignore this kind of tragedy!
There were quite a few eyes watching.
It was time to set an example.
‘My father is also in this building, so he probably won’t be able to kill me.’
Thinking so, Cheon Jung-ak raised his hands even higher and shouted.

“You bastard! In the current situation, going to that bastard Yu Dam-deok is a clear disobedience of orders! know?!”
Cheonjungak’s hand, which had risen high, quickly went down.
at that time,
“Wow!”
“oh my god!!”
An exclamation erupted from the people sitting.
Cheonjungak’s hand stood still.
Cheers?
Did you demonstrate appropriate behavior as Iris’s successor?
Cheon Jung-ak’s gaze returned as he was inwardly pleased.
However, contrary to expectations, people were not looking at them.
They were looking at the large monitor hanging in the center of the lobby.
“… what? What are you looking at… .”
Cheonjungak’s eyes narrowed.
What was shown on the monitor was the scene where the gate suppression was in full swing.
The monsters that came out of the gate certainly looked incomparably more powerful than before.
And a man sweeping that battlefield.
As his face slowly closed up, Cheon Jung-ak frowned.
“f*ck that bastard again… .”
The sight of Damdeok wearing lion armor and wielding a sword, with black flames spewing out every time he swung the sword, was enough to make people cheer.
“Wow, this is no joke.”
“What kind of skill is that? Black flames wrapped around a sword! “It’s absolutely killing me?!”
“That’s right, after all, talented people are different no matter what.”
In response to the continued praise from the people, Cheon Jung-ak said, “Quaang!” to the statue standing next to him. I kicked it.
“What is a talent bug? “That guy was untalented not long ago!!”
Everyone looked at Cheon Jung-ak with an absurd expression as they shouted in panic.
As he huffed and couldn’t shake off his anger, a white cloud came up behind him and whispered.
“Did you see it? I have a lot more to learn from you than my older brother. “Good luck then.”
Baekgureum patted my shoulder and turned around.
Eventually, Cheon Jung-ak burst out screaming and ran towards him, and everyone in the lobby rushed out and stopped Cheon Jung-ak.
Baekgureum grinned and waved his hand at Cheonjungak, who was being dragged backwards.

“Thank you for your effort!”
“Let’s go take a look!”
After bowing lightly to the employees who bowed at a 90-degree angle, Damdeok and Jooyul exited the police line.
“In the past, we only sent out garrison troops, but now the number of people to subdue the gate has increased significantly.”
Damdeok clicked his tongue as he looked at the military vehicles and gate management officials lined up around him.
It seems like about 80 people gathered at one small gate.
Including small support staff, the number of people was well over 100.
Of course, the only ones who could enter the gate were Damdeok and Jusoyul, so the rest of the team’s job was to deal with the monsters from outside.
Ju Soo-yul looked around indifferently and nodded at Damdeok’s words.
“They said they wouldn’t clear the gate, but this is already the third time today, right?”
Damdeok shrugged his shoulders.
“It’s not that I don’t do it, it’s that I don’t want to do it because I’m tied to the Iris Guild. That’s right. “If you conquer the gate, you can train, protect people, and increase your physical strength as a bonus, so why not do it?”
As Damdeok said that, a message of reaching 90,000 spiritual strength appeared before his eyes.
There was definitely a taste of attracting people’s attention by running around wearing black flames inside the gate.
“My spiritual strength is already 90,000. “100,000 is just around the corner.”
Damdeok smiled and spoke proudly, but Ju Soo-yul walked only looking ahead.
“There are 100,000 more left until the intermediate level.”
I suddenly feel drained.
No, if I give you some praise, what’s the point?
Anyway, even if you stab this guy, not a single drop of blood will come out.
I can barely see 100,000 before my eyes, but I have to double that to 200,000 to become a mid-level god.
Once again, Ju Soo-yul, who had reached mid-level god, looked like a monster.
“I guess the gate boss just now was a complete piece of gum to you, right?”
“It was gum for you too.”
“Kkeuk, why are you complimenting me?”
“I was telling the truth.”
Anyway, tsundere. He’s always like this.
“But it’s beyond that gate.”
At Damdeok’s words, Jooyul finally turned his head and looked at Damdeok.
“Why beyond the gate?”
“Why? No matter which gate you enter, you are always surrounded by a transparent membrane, and you wonder what lies beyond.”
When you approach this place, a message will appear telling you that you cannot approach due to lack of spiritual power.
It was the same even now that it reached 90,000.
“Well, of course there’s no problem with destroying the gate, but I’m curious. “Can’t you go too?”
In fact, this was the question that Damdeok asked Ju Ju-yul every time he entered the gate.
But each time she didn’t answer.
‘You don’t want to do it this time?’
As I swallowed my saliva, Jooyul answered.
“No, you can go.”
“what?”
“But I’m not going.”
Damdeok was speechless for a moment due to his tone being so firm.
“why? No, but why didn’t you tell me? “No matter how many times I asked, you didn’t answer.”
“I didn’t hear you.”
“hey! does not make sense!”
At Damdeok’s shout, Ju Ju-yul closed his mouth again.
When Damdeok looked at him with a puzzled expression, Ju Soo-yul quietly opened his mouth.
“There is no need to be impatient. Because this is where you too will go someday. There is no need to go at this point. There’s no need to wonder. “I told you this because I thought I would keep asking if you didn’t answer like this, so I hope you will stop talking about this topic now.”
He was so decisive that I was speechless.
But even though I said that, I couldn’t keep talking about it.
In the end, Damdeok had to turn his head.
‘okay. ‘Maybe someday I’ll find out what’s out there.’
You will definitely be able to see with your own eyes how the structure beyond was created.
“okay. “This comes first now.”
Before I knew it, I had come up to a nearby mountain with few people.
Damdeok lightly relaxed his limbs and opened the system window.
“I have reached 90,000 in stamina and am in excellent condition. “Today is perfect, right?”
“okay.”
Damdeok smiled and looked at the system window in front of him.
