I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 16

#16. Feed Cerberus (3)

– Cry?

Cerberus sensed something strange and slowly opened his mouth. Saliva increased.

“Ugh! Damdeok

’s frowning body was flawless.

– Keeng?

Cerberus made an expression that said this couldn’t be happening and lunged even more fiercely.

Behind you, you can see Persephone with a pale face.

“stop! Cerberus!!!”

Persephone shouted urgently, but Cerberus’ mouth had already covered Damdeok’s field of vision.

Kwaziik! Sigh! Sigh!

Cerberus bites Damdeok’s head even more violently than before.

But

‘What? It’s really nothing, right?’

The inside of his mouth was wet and unpleasant, but I didn’t feel any pain or even a fingernail.

A pale Persephone could be seen between the large, jagged fangs.

Persephone opened her mouth small as she met Damdeok’s terrifying eyes.

‘What happened?’

Damdeok also couldn’t help but be surprised.

If you put together the messages that appear before your eyes…

‘Is this the story of the myth of the River Styx?’

There is a story like this in Greek mythology.

“If you dip in the River Styx, you will become an invincible warrior.”

According to mythology, the sea goddess Thetis used the River Styx to make her son the strongest warrior.

‘You said you held the newborn baby’s heel and put it in the river…’

However, the heel he was holding did not get wet in the river, and this later became his son’s fatal weakness.

The son’s name is Achilles.

The origin of what we commonly refer to as the Achilles tendon comes from this myth.

“…Achilles heel.”

It’s the same River Styx, but there won’t be an Achilles’ heel for me.

because.

Because I came out soaked from head to toe!

“So now I’m completely invincible… Is that what you mean?”

The calculation is over.

I raised both hands and pushed against the guy’s warm palate.

Of course, it’s not enough to push Cerberus away with my strength right now.

But even if you ask, you won’t be asked, so what can you say about Cerberus?

In the end, the guy got tired of chewing and spitting out Damdeok.

“It’s a wise decision.”

As she slowly got out of the guy’s mouth and climbed onto land,

Persephone pointed to Damdeok with her hand shaking slightly.

“What are you doing…?”

Meanwhile, Cerberus rushed back and was chewing on one side of the head.

“Hey. Treating someone like a piece of gum…”

As Damdeok spoke casually, not only Persephone but also the nymphs who were watching from afar were very upset.

‘Should we stop wasting our time and finish this quickly?’

The invincibility time is only one hour.

I decided that it would be better for my health to finish everything before then.

“I fed him breakfast, shall we take him for a walk right away?”

Persephone made a complex and subtle expression at Damdeok’s words.

“…yes. “We have to take him for a walk.”

“What should I do?”

“The chain tied over there is a walking rope.”

She pointed to a pillar that had been pulled out helplessly.

‘Why did you do it so poorly?’

The chain tied to the pillar was coolly released.

Clap la la la rock!

“It’s been a long time since Cerberus went for a walk, so take it as slowly as possible…”

While listening to Persephone’s advice, Damdeok’s body suddenly floated in his mind.

– Cough! Wow!

This is because Cerberus ran like a runaway locomotive.

“Hey! men and horses! west! Stand up!”

Even though I shouted urgently, the thing just growled and ran faster.

This wasn’t a walk, it was almost like being dragged, or rather flying.

Cerberus is running through the dark wasteland, passing the nymphs in an instant.

Damdeok’s two legs were floating on the ground, almost like he was flying.

‘This is dangerous!’

Cerberus’ speed was so fast that it felt life-threatening.

A message that comes to mind as if making fun of the situation.

[ A skill has been created!]

“What kind of skill is this for this situation?”

I guess the system thinks I’m running instead of being dragged.

“Oh, okay, everything is fine, just slow down a little…!”

“what are you doing! “Quickly strengthen your muscles!”

Persephone, who had caught up with me, quickly shouted.

“What… do you want me to do?”

“Strengthen your muscles with your strength. Cerberus’ power is beyond imagination. “Why didn’t you use your divine power earlier?”

She was frowning as she tried to keep up with Cerberus’ speed.

‘Use divine power?’

Wasn’t that just a condition like academic background? How do you use it?

When Damdeok looked at her with a puzzled expression, Persephone asked back as if she was embarrassed.

“It doesn’t mean you don’t know how to use divine power, does it?”

“…I don’t know.”

“Does that make sense?! “God can’t use his divine power!”

Persephone stopped moving in surprise and quickly disappeared behind her.

‘How far are you going to run!’

It felt like I was going to leave the afterlife like this.

“Remember the feeling you get when you use the power!”

Persephone cried out as she struggled to catch up again.

‘How does it feel when you use your powers?’

Now that I think about it, it was activated without my knowledge during the battle with Charon.

Power intuition.

It feels like all the blood in the body is rushing to one place.

Persephone shouted again.

“Let’s create an image! “You think you can freely control the water in your body!”

“Free the water in your body…”

As soon as I thought that, I felt something.

water in the body.

Something else was overflowing inside Firang’s body.

‘Is this divine power?’

“If you focus your divine power on one part of your body, that part will become stronger!”

Following Persephone’s advice, I gathered the undulating divine power into my arms.

And then

– Kruk?!

Cerberus stopped like a lie.

The blood vessels on both my arms popped out as the chains were pulled tautly.

‘What… is it real?’

Even after doing it myself, the results were unbelievable.

– Crrrrr!

“What are you doing?”

Cerberus rolls his eyes and glances at the chain.

“What should I do? Let me go when I have something nice to say?”

– Sigh!

“I don’t like it, man.”

– Wow! Wow! Wow!

A guy who glows in place.

I lightly ignored it and tightened my grip on the chain.

I brought out all the spiritual power in my body and concentrated it on both arms.

“Give up. “It’s easier to give up.”

Persephone’s gaze as she watched Damdeok and Cerberus became much more relaxed.

“Did you say Yu Damdeok?”

As she watched, she approached with a smile on her face.

“It’s my first time using my divine powers, and I can’t believe I’ve achieved this much… This time, a really good part-timer has come.”

Persephone’s words could not have been more kind, but I had one question.

‘At first glance, it looks like he’s quite strong, so why don’t he step forward?’

Even I, a low-level rookie, gained the strength to control Cerberus by pouring in my divine power.

‘I know Persephone is quite famous…’

Because she is the wife of Hades and the goddess of the underworld. With that level of spiritual power, wouldn’t you be able to control Cerberus on your own?

Since before, every time an accident occurred, his face turned pale, but he had never stepped forward in person.

It was strange.

“Can I ask you one thing?”

“sure.”

“Why didn’t you come near Cerberus earlier?”

Was it too direct a question?

There was silence for a moment.

Persephone, who had been thinking for a while, began to speak.

“…because there are restrictions.”

“Restrictions?”

“Cerberus is the sentinel of hell. Not only does it stop countless dead people trying to return to this world, but it also protects against the invasion of curious people…”

I know.

That’s what protecting the afterlife is all about.

But suddenly I couldn’t understand why they were saying such things.

Persephone’s face was filled with deep sadness.

“I am one of them. “Wanting to return to this world.”

“Ah…”

After hearing that, I roughly understood.

‘That’s right, Hades fell in love with Persephone’s beauty and kidnapped her to the underworld.’

While reading it, I thought, ‘Is this something from a myth?’ But since there was such vivid living evidence before my eyes, I guess it was actually true.

“So you’re bound to the underworld and can’t touch Cerberus?”

“It’s similar. Only the husband can control Cerberus. Or only the few gods that my husband allows temporarily….”

“Those few gods are part-timers like me?”

Persephone nodded.

Now I finally understand. Even though she reigned as the goddess of the underworld, her actions were not able to control Cerberus.

‘Anyway, gods are greater than humans.’

Kidnapping and then forced marriage, isn’t that a crime?

“But it’s okay because I can go see my mother in a month.”

“Is that so.”

As I remembered my mother in the hospital, I felt sad.

A vague sense of justice arose, but I decided to stop.

‘What can I do?’

Her husband is Hades.

He is the older brother of Zeus, the highest god, and presides over the vast world of the Underworld…

“Then let’s go.”

In the end, Damdeok dragged the rebellious Cerberus and went back the way he came with her.

Even as he walked, Cerberus continued to resist, so he had to concentrate on keeping his spiritual power in his arms.

‘I’ll get used to manipulating my physical strength after a little while. Should I say that it is a somewhat similar concept to magical power?’

As I got used to it, it wasn’t that difficult.

‘So the magic power that the gods use is divine power?…’

As I was organizing the rough concepts in my head, I quickly arrived at the gate of the underworld.

The pillar that had been shaking was now neatly back in place.

The nymphs bowed their heads and greeted Persephone.

“Phew~ I’m glad, Persephone. “Maybe they noticed that Cerberus had run away, but a group of dead people came and went near the Gate of the Underworld just a moment ago.”

“okay? “No one has escaped yet, right?”

“Yes, I guess they have noticed that Cerberus is coming back.”

Damdeok, who was quietly listening to their conversation, asked.

“I guess Cerberus shouldn’t stay far away from the Gates of Hell?”

The nymph answered as if it were obvious.

“sure. “If Cerberus falls from the gate of the netherworld, there will be dead people who will see the opportunity and try to escape.”

‘The dead are trying to escape…’

Damdeok’s gaze was directed at the huge gate of the netherworld.

A huge gate to the underworld that is tightly closed.

‘Is it really the other world?’

– Crrrrr!

Cerberus growled near the Gate of the Underworld.

It seems that they are probably chasing the dead who came close.

“He’s a guy who works hard at his job even if he doesn’t listen to what’s said. That’s why I can’t go outside either…”

After hearing the story, Persephone’s words felt even sadder.

‘Only Persephone, Charon, and the nymphs who have permission to operate outside the Gate of the Underworld…’

Instead, Cerberus said that he was the one who monitored them all.

‘Dogs watch over the gods.’

The god Hades seems to be quite a sly god.

“Oh, I don’t know why you raise a dog that can only be handled by yourself.”

The moment I approached the pillar to tie the chain again

[my intuition of authority comes into play!]

“What?”

Red energy was flowing from the pillar.

‘It’s not alive… but an item?’

The hand moved slowly.

I wanted to take it out.

‘It’s inside the pillar.’

He tied Cerberus to the opposite pillar and quickly transformed Snow White.

Shuaa!

Persephone was busy giving instructions to the nymphs, and Cerberus was barking at the gates of the underworld.

Damdeok’s arms were swung around in an instant.

Pretzel Gwang!!!

The nymphs screamed at the sudden loud noise and took refuge in the warehouse.

Persephone was looking this way with a bewildered look on her face, and Cerberus, covered in dust, was glaring at me as if I wanted to kill him, but I didn’t care.

There’s only one thing I care about now.

It was the object in front of me.

“nice!”

A red piece of equipment shining among the collapsed rubble.

[Cerberus’s Leash (★★★★)]

Description: A leash used by Hades to tame Cerberus. When used, Cerberus can be controlled at will.
