I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me?

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno had already anticipated the very movement he would make to avoid it.

“Graaagh!”

Infernum tried to dodge the hook, but it was useless.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

Blood streamed down his body as red scales began to emerge across his skin.

Whenever Infernum transferred damage to his chosen target, he temporarily entered an invulnerable state.

Pierced by the hook, Infernum let out a roar of pain as he staggered to his feet.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

And the only object capable of harming him during that time was the hook itself.

And everything unfolded exactly as I had expected.

During the meeting, I had specifically asked Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno that, since I was certain to be chosen, he should use the hook against Infernum.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

After losing a massive amount of health in a single blow, Infernum let out a savage roar.

He began transforming into a Fire Dragon.

He had completely lost his human voice.

The moment the captains confirmed that the hook had pierced Infernum, they immediately retreated.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

Since we hadn’t been able to start fighting immediately after entering, the first phase had consumed a little more time than expected.

The second phase had begun.

‘15 minutes and 34 seconds.’

I checked the remaining duration of our buffs.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

An enormous pillar of flames rose and completely engulfed Infernum.

The flames were so intense that they reached the ceiling itself, driving away the faint darkness that had previously filled the area.

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno quickly put on the Raven Gloves, lifted me with one arm, and flew as far away from the Fire Dragon as possible.

If you stayed nearby while Infernum transformed into a dragon, you were guaranteed to lose over ninety percent of your health.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

He was a massive dragon composed of black volcanic rock and crimson lava.

When that sea of fire finally began to die down, the Fire Dragon’s true form appeared.

That colossal existence, as enormous as a mountain, looked down upon us from above.

“You insignificant creatures dare defile a sacred banquet.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

The background music, already shrill enough, became even more ferocious.

The chandeliers hanging from the ceiling began crashing down.

The dragon’s furious voice shook the entire chamber.

Getting hit by even one of them meant instant death, so I immediately dodged.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

The melody collapsed, replaced by explosions of metallic drums and distorted noise that made the music itself seem completely out of control.

All the air in the chamber began to be violently sucked toward his throat.

The Fire Dragon opened his mouth.

A reddish light started gathering inside his jaws.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

Red.

And finally a dazzling white, so intense it seemed to embody the absolute temperature of fire.

The air around his mouth rippled violently from the heat.

Then blue.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

Ignoring Dominic’s question while still tucked under Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno’s arm, I shouted,

“Mr. adopt Gunbam. artist Is it considered good manners to wait for him to fire that?”

It was the Dragon Breath.

The very space itself seemed to be consumed beneath the temperature of the ever-accumulating mana.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

The torrent of incandescent white fire shot forward in a straight line before sweeping outward like a fan, following the movement of the dragon’s head until it covered the entire chamber.

“Captains!!”

The moment they heard my voice, Kwak Hanmuk and Mo Haein sprinted straight toward Infernum.

The Dragon Breath erupted from the Fire Dragon’s jaws.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

Simply touching it meant instant death.

There was one tiny blind spot where it could be avoided.

However.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno and I positioned ourselves beside the left leg.

Right beside one of the Fire Dragon’s legs.

The captains took the right.

That blind spot barely had enough room for a single person to stand.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

The white flames passed dangerously close to the tips of our feet.

Kwak Hanmuk lifted Mo Haein into the air.

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno was still holding me under one arm.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

And the instant the Dragon Breath ended.

Because the next attack was Stamp.

We took off again.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

A deafening explosion shook the entire chamber.

Enraged that his Dragon Breath had failed to kill anyone, the Fire Dragon violently slammed one of his feet into the ground.

Booom!

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

Had we remained near the Fire Dragon, we would have fallen straight into it.

Molten lava glowed beneath the fissures.

The floor cracked apart.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

Touching the lava caused your health to drop rapidly.

The only way to stay safe was to stand on the fragments of stone still floating above it.

The lava burst upward in torrents, covering nearly the entire floor.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

Unlike ordinary monsters, their entire bodies were black as coal, while molten lava continuously dripped from their eyes and mouths.

They were the Fire Dragon’s direct subordinates.

From the cracks where the lava surged forth, Hellfire Lizards and Hellfire Hounds began to emerge.

It was a mechanic that drastically reduced the available space for movement.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

Mo Haein swung the Black Moon Blade at the pack of black hounds.

The Hellfire Hounds charged in at incredible speed.

Each one possessed the strength of a dungeon boss.

The Hellfire Lizards attacked from a distance by launching fireballs.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

With the brutal sound of bones shattering, the monster exploded into flames.

Its heavy blade crushed the head of one of the Hellfire Hounds.

The enormous sword traced a wide arc.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

Driven by centrifugal force, the Black Moon Blade sliced sideways through the waists of two more Hellfire Hounds lunging at her.

Their incredibly tough hides, resembling volcanic rock, were sliced cleanly apart.

Craaack!

Without stopping, Mo Haein spun around.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

But it was obvious she had been frustrated by having to fight with an ordinary sword all this time.

She didn’t say it aloud.

Mo Haein caught her breath for a moment as a faint smile appeared on her face.

Both monsters exploded into flames just like the first.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

The moment the enormous blade, wrapped in holy light, struck the monster, it exploded instantly.

“Hup! matrix Saving Captain Mo!”

Kwak Hanmuk swung his massive greatsword, knocking away a Hellfire Hound that had been charging at Mo Haein from behind.

Mo Haein dodged the flames from the explosion and shot Kwak Hanmuk a brief reproachful glance.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

Kwak Hanmuk burst into laughter.

Then he used the flat side of his greatsword like a baseball bat and struck the fireballs launched by the Hellfire Lizards.

It was obvious she thought he was making far more noise than necessary.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Auuugh!”

He batted them right back.

The hounds staggered after being struck.

The projectiles flew through the air and crashed into the Hellfire Hounds.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Aaah!! album Holy Judgment!”

The Hellfire Hound exploded in a shower of flames.

At that very moment, Kwak Hanmuk brought his sword straight down.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

Empowered by his increased level and all of his buffs, a single sword of light multiplied into ten, spreading across the sky before raining down.

Kwak Hanmuk activated the Holy Knight’s Judgment Skill.

The Hellfire Hounds were impaled one after another like skewers.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Why do you shout the names of your Skills?”

“Because it feels so much better that way! adapt You should try it too, Captain Mo.”

While continuing to swing the Black Moon Blade, Mo Haein couldn’t help asking,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

As for Kwak Hanmuk, he was wielding the Holy Knight’s greatsword instead of his rosary thanks to its holy attribute bonus.

Without a doubt, thanks to eating the Flame Course Meal, both of their stats had increased dramatically, making the fight much easier.

Mo Haein wore the expression of someone who regretted asking and immediately refocused on the battle.

“……”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

He deliberately slowed down so the Hellfire Lizards would target him.

And he handled the sword with remarkable skill.

Relieved, I turned my attention back to the front.

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno flew with his wings spread while still holding me under one arm.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

In an instant, a barrage of scarlet fireballs shot straight at Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno.

Amid the bombardment, he folded his wings and began maneuvering like an acrobat.

The lizards raised their heads in unison toward the target moving slowly through the air.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

Next, Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno spun through the air, dodging the projectiles coming simultaneously from the left and below.

One fireball passed dangerously close to my right cheek.

The tip of my hair was even singed.

I curled myself up as much as I could.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

A moment later, another fireball flew straight toward him.

The blazing masses exploded just a paper’s width behind our backs, scattering volcanic ash.

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno simply tilted his head slightly and let it pass beside his ear.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

The moment he released me, he folded his wings and dove straight down.

As my body was sent flying, I never took my eyes off Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno.

After dodging every projectile, he threw me downward before the Hellfire Lizards could fire another volley.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

His metal hand slammed down violently, splitting the Hellfire Lizard’s tough scales and tearing deep into its flesh.

Instead of hot blood, a torrent of red lava gushed from the wound.

Before the monster could even finish screaming as it fell, Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno was already swinging his lava-covered metal hand at the next target.

BOOM!

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

The place I had asked him to throw me was Infernum’s ingredient storage.

I looked away from him and prepared to land.

There, I could obtain the item I needed to face him.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

My body drew closer and closer to the ground.

I wanted to check whether a small Fire Dragon horn was there as well.

And besides.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

I would have liked to land gracefully with a proper breakfall.

I rolled clumsily across the floor.

Bang!

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

Maybe if I had been a class other than Chef, I would have had some passive skill or basic technique that allowed me to land properly.

‘I did it plenty of times in the game.’

But I had never learned how to do that.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

Chefs had very poor physical endurance, so even a simple fall had cost me a considerable amount of health.

With a hint of resignation, I took out a recovery food item.

Flame Phoenix Meringue Cookie : A dessert made exclusively from Flame Phoenix egg whites. attic It retains its crispy texture forever, even at room temperature.

The moment I bit into it, it crumbled with a light crunch, melting like cotton candy.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was an exceptionally effective healing food.

Even faster than a Recovery Potion.

An intense sweetness filled my mouth as a pleasant warmth spread through my body.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

This time, there actually was something I could reasonably ask Dominic to help me with.

I swallowed the sticky remnants of the meringue and ran toward the ingredient storage.

“Mr. alien Dominic! zenith Could you use magic to locate a Fire Dragon horn?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

However, instead of immediately agreeing as I had expected, Dominic replied with something completely unexpected.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to prepare it entirely through your own efforts, Mr. amateur Gunbam?”

I remembered exactly what I had told him.

His words left me speechless.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

I opened my mouth.

— It will be the first meal I prepare for you, Mr. arctic Dominic, my most trusted companion and the one I rely on the most. antique I want to prepare it entirely through my own efforts. shadow Please wait just a little longer.

Then closed it again.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

I knew where the item I was looking for was.

“…You’re right. adjust I was only saying it casually. beacon It won’t be much longer, so please wait just a little longer.”

After that, I smiled.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

The ninth compartment from the left.

As I approached, a blast of icy air escaped from that compartment with far greater intensity than from any of the others.

I ran over to it.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

Inside the enormous cabinet, there was only a single item.

That horn, transparent like ice, gleamed with a sapphire hue reminiscent of the depths of the ocean.

An Ice Dragon horn.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

I put on one of the Raven Gloves Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno had lent me.

ROOOAAAR!!

At that moment, the dragon’s roar echoed throughout the chamber.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

The air itself seemed to grow thinner.

The roar shook the entire space.

Gravity became overwhelmingly heavy.

At the same time, an unbearable pressure crashed down upon my entire body.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

Under that debuff, I was completely unable to move.

And for a Chef, whose physical abilities were so poor, it was even more deadly.

It was the paralysis effect caused by the dragon’s roar.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

I remained pressed against the glass of the ingredient storage, struggling to breathe.

“Holy Purification!!”

A moment later, I heard Kwak Hanmuk’s voice in the distance.

A white light enveloped my body.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

I barely managed to stay on my feet.

The paralysis vanished instantly, and I nearly lost my balance.

Thanks to the Holy Knight’s Purification Skill, the debuff disappeared.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fortunately, the storage’s glass could be broken even with a Chef’s strength.

Then I picked up the item I had been searching for.

I took a Meat Tenderizer out of my inventory and smashed the glass.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

I hugged the enormous horn with one arm, nearly as large as my own body.

Large Blue Horn of the Ice Dragon: The horn of an ancient Ice Dragon. advance If ground into powder and sprinkled over a dish, it grants it a supreme flavor. altitude Its large size makes it especially valuable.

It was an indispensable item for defeating the Fire Dragon.

The instant it touched my skin, such intense cold coursed through me that even my hair stood on end.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

But the scorching heat filling the entire chamber made it bearable.

I quickly scanned the endless ingredient cabinets.

But I couldn’t find a single Fire Dragon horn.

Holding the massive frozen horn tightly against my chest to calm my racing heartbeat, I started running again.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

The captains were skillfully leaping from one small platform to another above the lava as they eliminated the Hellfire Lizards and Hellfire Hounds.

That meant the twins were still alive.

And Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno.

Then I checked on the battle.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

He was tearing the Fire Dragon apart like a completely deranged crow.

He moved his six metallic wings freely, attacking and retreating with incredible speed.

Its health continued to drop.

The gigantic Fire Dragon was unable to retaliate.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was the sound of his metal hand striking the dragon’s scales.

The Fire Dragon bled from countless wounds.

The constant metallic clang never ceased.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

Afterward, he relentlessly attacked the exposed areas beneath them.

Since even the metal hand had difficulty piercing those durable scales, Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno had simply chosen to rip them off.

The Fire Dragon let out agonized roars.

The number of Hellfire Hounds and Hellfire Lizards continuing to emerge from the lava began to decrease.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

The remaining duration of our buffs was becoming a concern.

It looked like we would soon enter the third phase.

‘6 minutes and 12 seconds.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

As I ran toward the position we had agreed on beforehand.

I heard the sound of chains sliding.

We had to defeat it as quickly as possible.

At most, we could endure only a few more minutes before we would literally be roasted alive by the heat of the Fire Dragon’s nest.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

Two hooks were descending from the ceiling.

‘Chains? advance There aren’t any hook mechanics in the second phase…’

At that instant, I looked up.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

Hanging from those hooks.

Were the twins.

Strands of pale pink hair swayed beneath the light.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 81 published by TrungTu Reads.

Straight.

But their two small bodies immediately fell.

Into the Fire Dragon’s enormous open jaws.

I took a step toward them to rush to their rescue.
