I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 144
#144. Cheon Taerang (天太郞), the Heavenly Demon (5)
“…the main seat.”
Inside the cool air of the cave, Cheon Taerang solemnly opened his mouth while sitting cross-legged.
“This office will not help you.”
He spoke in a solemn tone, as if he had made a big decision, but Damdeok and Jooyul accepted his words calmly.
“okay. “You didn’t help us just a moment ago.”
“We helped you.”
“And that too by mobilizing a very large number of people.”
When Cheon Tae-rang’s body fell off the cliff just now, not only the ice giants but also the wolf spirits and Pao’s mummy troops came out in full force.
It was a large-scale operation that required an enormous amount of divine power.
For Damdeok, it was as if he had just entered this world and had taken on a risk.
He said he would try to rescue the Heavenly Horse that was diving in front of him.
Damdeok sighed softly and continued.
“I know very well that you brought this world to the brink of destruction. “I don’t know if that’s why I felt guilty, or if there were other complicated reasons, but I can’t say that I would die so suddenly.”
“Why not?”
Cheon Taerang asked as if he was genuinely curious.
I saw my name in their memories.
I also saw an unknown title titled Martial Arts Worldview and also talked about an unbelievable event called the War of the Gods.
But even so, are they so deeply concerned about their own lives?
Cheon Taerang could not easily understand.
“Aren’t there more than just the main body of the 12 guardians you are looking for?”
“A lot is not the problem. “We need to collect them all.”
“They say we have to gather everyone… but one person died.”
“one person?”
Damdeok’s expression crumpled as he asked curiously.
‘Ah…’
The sixth guardian, Fairy King Leaf.
“Hey, address rate. “How far have you shown it?”
Damdeok glanced at Jusoyul and asked.
“Anything that can help. “You’re too tired to explain everything.”
“…I don’t think it helps that someone on the same side is dead.”
“Well, we’ll see if it will help or not.”
Damdeok looked at Cheon Taerang again after hearing Ju Soo-yul’s words.
‘No matter how I look at it, I don’t think it will help…’
She was looking at Damdeok and Jooyul with pitch-black eyes that seemed like they would be sucked in.
“If one of the guardians has already died… it doesn’t really matter if one more is missing in the future.”
“No! How do you calculate like that?! “We cannot tolerate any more power loss!”
Cheontaerang looked sullen at Damdeok’s shout.
“Even if that were the case, what on earth does that have to do with this position?”
“what?”
“Isn’t that so? It’s just your situation. Isn’t this something that has nothing to do with the main event? “Why are you bothering me so much even though they said they would just send it to me?”
“No, why doesn’t it matter? An entire dimension destruction scenario is about to begin? “I’m just going to sit back and watch as everyone here dies… Ah.”
Damdeok, who was about to speak passionately as if he was frustrated, realized something and closed his mouth.
Between the canyon that became a sea of blood.
Corpses piled up like a mountain.
I forgot about it for a while.
Isn’t this world already destroyed by Cheon Tae-rang?
“So… I mean…”
Damdeok, who was momentarily embarrassed, tried to speak again, but Cheon Taerang interrupted him.
“It is of no concern to me even if this world continues down a path of further destruction.”
It was a statement that drove a wedge.
“ha. driving me crazy.”
Damdeok scratched the back of his head.
“OMG! My stomach explodes! So bro! “Why did you needlessly save a guy like that?”
White clouds too! He was starting to lose his temper, and even Alui, who had been silent the whole time, was muttering in frustration.
In that awkward atmosphere, a lively voice was heard.
“Hey~ let’s sleep! “I think everyone has forgotten, but that girl over there is a person who could kill us all at any moment and throw our lives off the cliff again, so let’s be careful what we say~”
Poppy, who was holding Pao tightly, also helped.
“That’s right. “I heard it was a romantic martial arts world, so I came here with high expectations, but it turned out to be scary…”
The two were trying to act rationally, but even they clearly looked exhausted.
Coming face to face with a traumatic massacre scene and immediately sitting down with the person responsible for it and persuading them to become colleagues was a lot more tiring than expected.
‘Plus, there was a sudden suicide commotion…’
Damdeok decided that it was unreasonable to waste any more time.
“Hey, are you sure you’re not going to come with us?”
At Damdeok’s serious question, everyone’s attention turned to Cheon Taerang again.
Cheon Taerang opened his stubbornly closed lips and answered.
“Of course. “I don’t want to have to shoulder something new now that I’ve lost everything.”
At that moment, a look of disappointment appeared on the faces of the companions.
But Damdeok only smiled secretly.
“…What’s so funny?”
“No, that’s right. “What you’re saying is incoherent right now?”
“So what do you mean?”
“Honestly, if you really wanted to die, you definitely could have died earlier. is not it?”
Cheon Taerang’s mouth was tightly shut at Damdeok’s words.
“That’s right. “Because you had the slightest desire to die, you stayed in a daze until we pulled you up.”
“okay. that’s right.”
Next to him, Soo-yul nodded and made a chuimsae.
A resilient Damdeok continued speaking.
“Honestly, I don’t know how great the Heavenly Demon is, but a person who can commit mass murder in an instant like that was dragged up to us without even being able to properly end his life? Doesn’t it make sense if you think about it yourself?”
Cheon Tae-rang’s brow furrowed slightly.
It was obnoxious, but that guy wasn’t wrong.
The reason he is alive now is not because they helped him, but because he could not accept death on his own.
‘Am I just afraid of death?…’
It was something I couldn’t figure out.
But no matter how much I thought and tried, this terrible dilemma could not be resolved.
This terrible dilemma of neither dying nor living….
Cheon Tae-rang slightly shook his head.
‘No, no matter how much I think about it, I have no reason to live anymore.’
Of course, I had no intention of giving them false hope.
It was that time when I was trying to stubbornly refuse again.
“Then how about doing it like this?”
Damdeok came closer.
The guy I saw up close was giving off a truly unique aura.
‘A strange guy…’
Cheon Tae-rang knew that the guy in front of him was unusual.
The energy and presence it gave off felt similar to encountering the Twelve Lords of the World.
Moreover, his companions were all unusual, so there was no need to talk at length.
“What can I say? My mouth hurts. Stop going back now. I have already declared that I will not take your lives. Isn’t that enough? Why are you following me to this cave and bothering me? “I will no longer hold you accountable for anything, so go back when I send you back gracefully.”
Cheontaerang quietly muttered something threatening, but Damdeok paid no heed and continued.
“Accept me as your disciple.”
Cheon Taerang’s eyes widened once again.
She asked back with a dumbfounded look at the unexpected answer.
“what…? “What did you say just now?”
“It’s not that I don’t like priests because they seem below me. So, please accept me as your disciple.”
Cheon Taerang spoke again, emphasizing Damdeok’s calm tone.
“It’s not that simple.”
But it was no use.
“why? “If we become priests, isn’t that enough of a reason to come with us?”
Damdeok was no longer listening to Cheontaerang’s opinions.
A laugh escaped Cheon Tae-rang’s mouth.
“under! Have you seen this crazy child? “This throne does not accept disciples!”
Damdeok was not at all discouraged by the fierce shouts.
[ The title effect is activated!]
[A different type of fear has been discovered!]
[Fear resistance increases further!]
“So, you’re going to live alone in this ruined world?”
Cheon Taerang gritted his teeth at Damdeok’s actions of not being scared or backing down.
“This place is not destroyed! “Everyone who is not a Kang Ho-in is living well in their own place!”
“But you’re a strong person.”
“….”
In the end, Cheon Taerang closed his mouth first.
After a very brief silence, her mouth opened again.
“…good night. “I think this is the end of this shallow relationship, and I’ll treat you to my best.”
A light of hope flashed in Damdeok’s eyes.
“uh? What does that mean now…?”
The eyes of the companions also began to sparkle similarly.
Is it finally over?
Their eyes are all filled with earnestness.
Cheon Taerang suddenly woke up.
“You used a strange tool. Did you say it was a status window?”
“It’s a part-time job.”
Damdeok corrected.
Phew! A voice erupted from among the group.
Cheon Taerang wiggled his eyebrows and waved his hands.
“anyway! “Isn’t it extremely absurd for you, the guy who uses that spear, to become a disciple of the greatest demon of all time and world?”
“Well why?”
“Because you don’t even know the ‘mu’ character for martial arts!”
“Ah…”
“What do you know? Listen carefully. “I will make you realize how absurd your proposal is.”
Cheon Taerang’s hand moved slowly in the air.
I flinch.
At that moment, everyone was tense, thinking, ‘Are they going to attack us?’ But everyone only felt chills down their spines and nothing happened inside the cave.
Cheon Taerang’s hand stopped for an instant.
Soon
after .
It sounded like a thick fog was forming.
“If you want to become my disciple, you must know how to do at least this much.”
The energy gathered around Cheon Taerang gradually began to take shape.
Psssss! Wow!
A sword with a bluish appearance was created and
it clicked!
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!
Soon, twenty blue swords began to fill the cave.
Each sword was moving as if it were alive even without touching it, and Cheon Taerang grinned without saying a word.
“How do you feel? “Can you imitate something like this with your status window or part-time job window?”
The inside of the cave was quiet.
A confident smile appeared on Cheon Tae-rang’s face.
“Now, if you realize how useless your story is, get it out of the way.”
Sigh.
Cheon Taerang swung his hand once, and the swords disappeared all at once.
‘It’s unfortunate, but this is the best I can do at this point.’
Good people who carry a heavy mission.
After concluding their identity, I felt even more at ease.
“Go.”
Without even looking back, Cheon Taerang climbed onto the caved rock and sat cross-legged again.
The cave where her two brothers were killed, and where her own hell unfolded, this was the perfect place to use as her final resting place.
“…if you float several swords in the air.”
Despite Damdeok’s voice, Cheontaerang did not open his already closed eyes.
“You’re saying that if I launch several swords, you’ll accept me as a disciple?”
“Don’t show unnecessary courage.”
“Guest?”
Along with the sound of laughing, a loud crunching sound echoed throughout the cave.
When Cheontaerang instinctively looked back,
there was Damdeok, surrounded by dozens of bluish swords, looking at her with a grin.
[ Activate the skill!]
