#65. Entering the Demon World (1)
Inside the noisy banquet hall of the gods.
‘This is how it ends in the end.’
Damdeok thought as he munched on the warm turkey meat.
“Huh? I guess it doesn’t matter since I’m a mid-level god now! Hahaha!”
As soon as Zeus found out that Damdeok had become a mid-level god, he said that and laughed.
Hades gritted his teeth and glared at him for a while, but in the end he had to calmly return to the underworld.
Zeus just shrugged his shoulders and didn’t make any special gestures.
‘Anyway, the gods are more childish than humans.’
I didn’t know why Hades and the gods were on such bad terms.
Honestly, I’m not that curious.
‘No matter what, Hades swore on the River Styx not to touch me in the future… .’
That was enough compensation for a month of hard work.
‘Now we can go find the next guardian.’
Didn’t Jooyul say that Adele Sharon’s mana deficiency could be cured only if she met the third guardian?
It was time to restart the stalled journey.
[Hahaha! Hey buddy! How do you feel about becoming an intermediate god? Are you feeling energized? huh?]
Thor, who was sitting right next to me, boomed! He slammed down his beer glass and laughed.
He was already extremely drunk and was laughing hard no matter what he said.
‘I just lost an arm wrestling match with Zeus and was laughing so hard.’
Is that all?
The other gods were also so excited that they had already played dozens of games with Damdeok.
‘There are so many questions… .’
I think I’ve been asked dozens, if not hundreds, of times why Damdeok was so strong despite being a low-level god.
Each time, Ares and Hercules shrugged their shoulders, saying it was thanks to their training.
‘I guess that’s the case. Even if I tell you it’s thanks to talent and skill anyway, it’s obvious you won’t believe it.’
The gods believe that their power is stronger and greater than the talents they gave to humans.
I didn’t really want to remind you of that fact.
‘The best thing is to do it alone.’
Thor thrust his face towards Damdeok, who was grinning.
[Hey friend, why are you laughing so hard alone? Now, let’s have a drink!]
“Ugh, I understand, just step aside for a moment… .”
The muscles were so big that they were tight.
I couldn’t even pick up the food right in front of me.
[Huh? Narrow?]
Thor grinned and asked playfully.
As he clung to me even more, my breath caught in my throat.
[How is it? How are you? This is the power of Asgard!]
Only after barely pushing away the idiotic Thor was I able to sip the drink of the gods that I had wanted to try earlier.
“hmm.”
I felt a sweet and bitter taste in my mouth and my fatigue was quickly recovering.
‘It’s the drink of the gods, after all.’
It looks just like a high-end potion sold at Hunter’s Department Store.
Apollo’s self-healing power, which was being subtly activated, and the gods’ drink, nectar, were working together to heal small wounds quickly.
The shoulder that had been punctured by Hades had almost healed before I knew it.
‘good. At this rate, there will be no problem if we leave tomorrow.’
Damdeok took a quick look, brought two or three more glasses of nectar, and took a shot.
‘I’m sure it will get better at this level, right?’
In fact, Damdeok had been very anxious ever since he became a mid-level god.
‘It’s been a while since a part-time job with decent pay opened up… .’
It was a part-time job with a completely different atmosphere than before.
[Hell Furnace Daily Labor Recruitment!]
Employer: Rukipele, the demon
Power: over 100,000
Job Description: Just do what you are told.
Working hours: One day, from the opening of the furnace to the closing of the furnace.
Salary: Randomly paid with the power of demons
A word from the boss: Angel spies will be placed in the hell crusher as soon as they are discovered and will be ground forever.
“I will grind it in the grinder of hell…” .”
The content is somehow terrifying.
It seems clear that his employer is also a demon god.
But Damdeok continued to pay attention to this announcement.
‘It gives you the power of a demon… .’
Honestly, I really want it.
I searched the gods’ stores just in case, but they didn’t sell anything like the power of demons.
‘Skills are not enough. ‘I need power.’
However, the only powers he gained after becoming a mid-level god were a strong body that shielded his body with divine power and a sharp eye that could see through his opponent with the eyes of a sword.
‘Of course it’s better than nothing, but… .’

At this rate, it would be difficult to bring in a third guardian as a priest.
‘Anyway, you always scare me… .’
Ju Ju-yul insisted that he must go to a part-time job in the demon world in order to obtain the power of the demons.
With my current skills, I won’t be able to meet the third guardian or anything… .
Anyway, I kept nagging the whole way to the banquet hall.
“Hey, address rate. Let’s stop. “You say you really have to do this part-time job?”
Damdeok whispered to Ju Soo-yul, who was sitting across from him.
However, instead of answering, Soo-yul nodded and pointed to the seat next to him.
“YC is awesome! “What kind of meat melts in your mouth!”
Adele Sharon was sweeping up all the meat on the table as if she were possessed.
The whole area around the table was a mess.
“One more plate!”
“and… It’s already the 10th plate… .”
White Cloud, sitting next to Adele Sharon, clicked his tongue in admiration.
“It’s so loud! Growing adults are supposed to eat a lot! Don’t you eat that? Then give it to me.”
“When I was growing up, my older sister was like… ah! That’s mine! “I will eat it!”
Baekgureum, who lost his plate of meat in an instant, stood up and started yelling at Adele Sharon.
Damdeok put one hand on his head.
“… Huh, kids, let’s go.”
“Noisy!”
“Brother, don’t get involved!”
Damdeok, who had been so harshly rejected, twitched the corner of his mouth.
“If I go back anyway, you will be automatically summoned, right?”
There was no need to waste any more time here.
‘I have built enough friendship with the gods at this level.’
Now it was my turn to build my own career.
Whether that place is the demon world or hell.
“I definitely said let’s go. “There is nothing to say about human rights if it was suddenly sent again.”
When Damdeok put his hand on the system, Jooyul stopped him.
“Why are you like this too?”
“Look Carefully. “What is Adele eating now?”
“hmm?”
Damdeok looked at Adele Sharon carefully.
Her reddened cheeks were swollen as she got drunk.
“There’s so much in it that I can’t tell what’s what… uh?”
Damdeok’s pupils widened slightly.
Adele Sharon took another bite of it.
Wow!
“Um, this wind. “This saa jingcha maitneungde? (Hmm, this flavor. These apples are really delicious, aren’t they?)”
What Adele Sharon was eating was a golden apple.
Damdeok’s eyes sparkled.
It was an item I had seen before.
A panacea that is responsible for the immortality of the gods and is said to cure any illness.
‘Golden Apple… !’
* * *
“… Nonsense.”
Adele Sharon’s voice trembled as she woke up from a drunken sleep.
Magical power overflowing from your fingertips.
A power she had never felt in her life was sweeping through her body.
“Magic power… It feels so good… .”
Mana deficiency.
Has the incurable disease that so many scholars and doctors in Atlaum given up on suddenly gotten better?
How suddenly?
It was unbelievable to her.
“I kept my promise?”
Damdeok said.
Adele Sharon’s head turned.
Her eyes were already red.
“you… How did you… .”
“Well, it’s a common grace from God. “Let’s leave it at that.”
Adele Sharon silently looked at Damdeok, who shrugged his shoulders and smiled.
Normally, I would have hurled a curse at him for being condescending, but today, for some reason, I didn’t hate him.
“… Don’t say thank you. “Because this is what you promised.”
“As you wish.”
Damdeok chuckled.
He also felt very good about the current situation.
‘I never thought things would work out this way.’
Adele Sharon’s incurable disease was cured after eating the golden apple served at the banquet hall.
It was an unexpected scenario.
‘I’m glad I fixed it before going to the third guardian… .’
It’s not complete yet.
Adele Sharon, who had been feeling the energy of mana for a while, tilted her head as if it were strange.
“however… Why can’t I collect mana like this?”
Addressul, who was watching, answered on his behalf.
“The golden apple unclogged the mana vein, but it will take a long time to treat it as much as you want.”
Soo-yul tried to swallow his words.
Damdeok knew what it was.
‘In order for Adele to operate her mana to a normal level, she must visit the third guardian.’
As it stands now, it will take a good 20 years just to build up mana.
“I know what you mean. Although the disease has healed, it is still in the same condition as a newly born baby? Hehehe.”
He didn’t look disappointed.
Adele Sharon looked rather excited.
“Then I can now practice mana?”
“okay.”
“You can also play the role of a great mage in a movie?!”
“… okay.”
Addressul taught Adele Sharon, whom he liked like a child, about how to use mana.
“Hey, as expected, I am the next guild leader of the Sangun Guild. “There’s nothing I don’t know.”
Baekgureum nodded and admired.
‘Yeah, he’s a great guy.’
I admit it.
But sometimes I feel a sense of alienation, as if that guy is not from this world.
‘It’s like you’re from another world… Or actually, he lived a very long time?’
Damdeok watched Adele Sharon and Ju Soo-yul while imagining useless things.
yet,
“okay. If you do that, you will be able to handle mana to some extent. Don’t be too hasty. As I said before, it will take quite some time to handle it as much as I want.”
“I understand, I understand… Hehehe, you know that I really love you, right?”
“… sister?”
“Oh, isn’t it your sister?”
“I’m twenty-seven years old… .”
Adele Sharon’s face turned pale for a moment at Ju So-yul’s hesitant answer.
“Ah, no~ My younger brother has a deep heart like my older sister~ That’s what I mean! Mmmmm! “Okay then!”
Adele Sharon goes all out and puts her arm around Ju Soo-yul’s shoulder.
Ju Soo-yul slowly removed her arm and gestured to me with her chin.
“Kuk, whatever. “Send Adele away quickly?”
“Huh? Brother! Are you going to say something so rude?! I’m about to become a great wizard. War of the Gods Huh? “Wouldn’t that come in handy when you come?!”
“okay. Because I plan to write something useful. “I’m working hard on mana training.”
Damdeok pushed the head of Adele Sharon, who was running towards her, and opened the system.
[Disables the power ‘God’s Call’.]
[Cancel the summoning of Second Priest Adele Sharon.]
‘You’re letting me go again! Adele Sharon disappeared after shouting ‘You evil business owner!!’.
Damdeok looked back at Jooyul and Baekgureum with a carefree expression.
“Now then, shall we go to our next destination?”
“Next destination? “Where is it?”
Baekgureum tilted his head and asked.
Damdeok looked at the system in front of him and smiled.
“Demon Realm.”
* * *
“… “Here?”
“It’s right here.”
“… “I don’t think it’s here.”
Damdeok, Jooyul, and Baekgureum looked at the scene in front of them with shocked expressions.
A huge gate that is probably 10 meters long.
It is not a historical site.
That was the gate.
It’s also a gate where a monster wave is occurring.
“Damn it, call for support from headquarters!!”
“Look, headquarters! The medium-sized gate suddenly evolved into a large gate! The cause is unknown! “I hope you apply soon!”
Troops and hunters were busy running everywhere.
The three people looked at each other in the chaos.
“No, bro. Are you going to the demon world? “This is Incheon.”
“Well, it’s not wrong. “There is also a saying that it is Incheon, the Demon World.”
“… It’s not funny at all. sister.”
Baek Goo-reum was quietly crushed by Ju Ju-yul’s bloody eyes.
Damdeok scratched the back of his head.
“That’s strange. The system won’t let me move. Normally, they would even summon you to your part-time job… .”
I sent Adele Sharon and immediately pressed the part-time job application button, but all I got was a message saying that time and space were different and that I couldn’t move.
‘No, Atlaum and Olympus went well, but why is it that only the Demon World has different time and space?’
I didn’t know.
But it can’t be helped.
The system did not allow us to move because space and time were different.
‘They’re just launching a useless route guidance system… .’
[Two hundred steps west.]
[Turn left and walk three hundred steps.]
[Five hundred steps south.]
Damdeok and his group came here only after hearing about this extremely simple navigation system.
“Well, where should we go next?”
There are no more words.
This is Incheon, and although it’s a mess because of the gate, aren’t you sure it’s not the demon world?
What on earth are you going to do? .
“I feel like I was scammed… profit! “This bastard?!”
Sigh!
White Cloud, who was standing next to him, suddenly cut down the charging ground dog monster.
“Eh? Aren’t you dead?! Even if you do this, you won’t die?!”
Baekgureum began swinging his sword roughly.
As the power of the forgotten gods grew stronger, the level of the gate monsters also rose to become more threatening.
“… Hmm, anyway, the army is being pushed back, so we need to help.”
Jusoul also took out a dagger.
“Ha, I can’t help it.”
At that time, he was stroking Baekseol, who had just woken up, and was about to go to battle at Damdeokdo Island.
[You have arrived at your destination!]
[End of guidance!]
Damdeok’s body, which was about to cut down the ground puppy, suddenly froze.
All I could see in front of me was a shimmering gate.
“what. no way… ?”
fantasy,
