I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 125
#125. Demone Alui (2)
“...This part-time job is dangerous?”
“yes.”
Albert’s eyes became even more blood-red.
Eyes that go beyond fear and even feel bizarre.
Normally, it would be normal to take a step back or even get startled, but Damdeok just stood there blankly.
He even tilts his head as if he is worried.
“Albert. Are you hurting somewhere? “My eyes are bloodshot...”
At Damdeok’s unexpected reaction, Albert’s eyes instantly returned to their original color.
“Hmm! hmm!”
Albert cleared his throat.
He was lamenting his situation of always being left behind by foreign gods, so he tried to joke around for a bit...
‘He’s not scared at all.’
Honestly, I was a little embarrassed.
He was a high-level demon like the official instructors over there.
The act of a high-ranking demon turning its eyes red was one of the typical abilities used to scare an opponent.
‘There’s no way a mid-level god could handle the demonic energy of a high-level demon...’
But Damdeok was still looking at Albert with concern.
“Are you okay?”
“...It’s okay.”
“Then I’m glad.”
“....”
After a moment of silence, Damdeok opened his mouth again.
“So what does it mean to say that this part-time job is dangerous?”
“...Isn’t it stated in Lucifer’s notice? “Salaries are only paid while alive.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
“Did you notice anything strange?”
Damdeok thought for a moment.
strange thing?
Of course, it was strange that the salary was a large sum of 1,000 Lucifer, and the employer’s sentiment in parentheses was also strange, with the condition ‘if you can survive’.
That’s about it.
‘Isn’t this common in the world of gods?’
After encountering so many strange things, I came across strange writings like that...
Damdeok shrugged his shoulders.
“In the first place, the greater the reward, the greater the risk. He said he would give a generous reward if he survived... It was an announcement that clearly showed the president’s large heart. haha!”
It’s half sincere and half sarcastic.
But Albert looked at Damdeok carefully and nodded seriously.
“I guess I played a prank. If you have that mindset, we will do our best to serve you while you are there.”
“Yes, I would appreciate it if you could.”
“You still have to be careful. In fact, the survival rate of assistant instructors is extremely low.”
As expected, there must be something there.
Damdeok asked more specifically why the survival rate of assistant instructors was low.
The story Albert told was a little surprising.
“...So, are you saying that assistant instructors have to participate in the battle against the demon king together?”
It was an unexpected reason.
Suddenly, I remembered Alui’s words when he first saw me.
“...Has the assistant instructor changed again?”
Albert continued to explain that there was an incident in which the assistant instructors, feeling threatened for their lives, ran away when Alui was defeated in the battle for the demon king in which he participated.
‘This scenario is nothing special.’
Damdeok frowned.
All I have to do is take the fifth guardian. I had no intention of directly participating in the battle for the Demon King.
“Why on earth is an assistant instructor competing together?”
“It’s a tradition. Since the Demon World is a place where people live their whole lives alone, they created a rule a long time ago that requires teachers and students to participate together in the battle for the Demon King. In fact, it is said that the origin of this tradition began when many princes who became demon kings brutally killed their teachers who were stronger than them....”
After all, the demon world is the demon world.
The origins of tradition were once brutal.
“So, forming a bond between priests. “Are you saying that such a small rule was put in place for something like this?”
“You are correct. “Alui-sama asked for an assistant instructor, but in fact, at least one person is required to participate in the competition.”
“Why are you procrastinating like this?!”
“If you don’t have confidence, say you don’t have confidence right now!”
‘Tch, you guys are making so much noise.’
Damdeok kicked the ground first as the official instructors chanted.
Taaat!
First, he attacked Alui with basic attacks such as horizontal, vertical, and diagonal cuts.
Crack! widely! Sigh!
Alui’s sword moved as expected.
It calmly defends well against subsequent attacks.
Then Damdeok changed his sword techniques and started attacking.
Quickly raise the slash, then immediately cut diagonally, sting like a bee, and then turn around. While performing a curved cut with an esza, he also swung the sword as heavily as an axe.
But the results were all the same.
Sigh! Perfect! Sigh!
Alui blocked Damdeok’s attacks quite well.
No, on the contrary, he seemed to clearly know the timing of his counterattack, but it felt like he was intentionally not attacking.
‘what. You’re already quite skilled, right? Then... this too?’
Damdeok’s movements became faster and faster.
Accordingly, Alui’s sword also changed dazzlingly.
[ Activate the skill!]
Various types of sword techniques began pouring out from the tip of Damdeok’s sword.
Starting with the rhythmic swordsmanship of White Cloud, he threatened with the powerful swordsmanship of Hercules, then dazzled him with the gentle swordsmanship of Athena, and in between, he swung the blade imbued with the terrifying murderousness of Hades like a storm.
“Ugh!”
Alui’s once relaxed complexion gradually became more and more perplexed, and Damdeok’s stab at the end sent Alui’s wooden sword flying far away.
Whirling! Sigh!
Alui looked at Damdeok with surprised eyes.
Damdeok slowly put away his sword and bowed his head to end the sparring.
Truly close to perfect swordsmanship.
There was silence.
Clap clap clap clap!
Butler Albert, who was applauding alone, cleared his throat when he received glares from the official instructors.
“...what are you? “A sword spirit?”
Kun, the weapons instructor, has blades on his waist! I asked while fiddling with it.
I was planning on catching the pod and punishing him somehow, but the part-timer showed off his flawless swordsmanship, so he seemed to be getting excited.
“yes. “This is Yu Dam-deok, the swordsman.”
“Hmph, I never even asked your name. I enjoyed seeing you perform some tricks. Even so, you are only an assistant instructor...”
Kun spoke with unusual emphasis on the word ‘assistant.’
Then, as promised, other official instructors also began to chime in and disparage Damdeok’s swordsmanship.
“Swordsmanship doesn’t match the virtues of a dark demon lord.”
“Wouldn’t the answer be found in martial arts, weapons, magic, brutality, leadership, and swordsmanship alone?”
In response to the support of his colleagues, Kun, the weapons instructor, spoke arrogantly with his shoulders shrugged.
“I will recognize you as an assistant instructor. Starting from the next class, please clean Alui’s exclusive weapons to a smooth shine. “That’s all you have to do.”
A small wrinkle appeared on Damdeok’s forehead, but he did not get angry hastily.
“What should we do next after cleaning our dedicated weapons?”
“What are you doing? That’s it. “You just need to be good at assisting in class.”
“Alui, you’re not teaching swordsmanship?”
When Damdeok asked that question, the faces of the official instructors crumpled.
“Oh my god...! “What does this arrogant foreign god teach the demons?”
“Don’t be mistaken! You were just hired as an assistant. “You can just do whatever you’re told to do at the time. How are you going to take on the role of an official instructor?!”
“The only thing you know how to do is swordsmanship!”
The only thing I know how to do is swordsmanship.
Damdeok felt moved once again.
“Demons must know how to use a variety of weapon techniques rather than swordsmanship! What else do you know besides swordsmanship? Do you know any other weapon techniques? What about bare-chested fighting? Do you know how to do martial arts? How dare you say that you will teach Alui with nothing more than swordsmanship?!”
Damdeok, who was quietly lowering his head as criticism and ridicule continued to pour in, muttered softly.
“It’s just swordsmanship...”
An unusual energy flowed from Damdeok. Then, the eyes of 5th Prince Alui, Butler Albert, and the official instructors were focused on him.
Damdeok slowly raised his head.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
“Then would you like to compete with me?”
