I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 136
#136. Lucifer’s Sorrow (3)
Wedge!
The sound of the wind passing by is as harsh as a spear flying away.
‘No way again...’
Lucifer thought as he flew quickly over the red earth of the Demon World.
News brought by Albert, who followed behind him a little while ago.
“Lucifer, the angels have invaded the demon world again. “What do you want to do?”
Albert’s expression was hard when he asked that question. Lucifer knew well the hidden meaning behind the hesitant question he asked at the end.
‘I didn’t ask what you would do, but I guess I wanted to ask if you would tolerate it again this time.’
Angels’ invasion of the demon world.
This was a clear act of provocation.
So much so that it wouldn’t be surprising if we went to war right away.
However, he himself has never confronted this behavior head on.
Because of this, there has been countless conflicts with demon lords from other levels.
Of the six invasions, five were passed, but in one case, demon kings and angels from different levels clashed heavily.
It was a shame that Lucifer himself sent the angels back just before the war intensified, otherwise there would have been more casualties.
After that,
ugly rumors circulated in the demon world.
Lucifer, the current master of the demon world.
There are rumors that he, who is said to be the devil of devils, is actually a puppet of the abominable angels...
‘Useless talk.’
Lucifer gritted his teeth.
Among the demons of the Demon World, there is probably no one who hates angels as much as he does.
However, the false rumor spread quickly, and forces opposing Lucifer naturally emerged.
The rebel army, which may have started in an unknown corner of the demon world,
had grown so large that it even surpassed Lucifer’s position.
However, the Demon World is a world of the fittest.
Even if they all worked together, it would have been foolish to confront Lucifer head on.
Therefore, the rebels attempted a last resort.
‘Asmodeus....’
As the demon king of the 44th floor, he had a natural talent for fighting.
At this point, if the second-in-command of the Demon World was to be chosen, he was a strong enough devil to take the position without any disagreement.
But
for some reason, Asmodeus did not join the rebels.
Lucifer had heard about the whole situation through Albert, but honestly, he could not easily understand Asmodeus’ actions.
I was puzzled.
He is following a different path from previous demon kings.
Moreover, if he is strong enough to take second place, wouldn’t it be right for him to take the lead and lead the rebels?
But Asmodeus did not do that.
His only interest is the sword.
He was a strange guy who said he had to constantly work hard to hit a good sword and didn’t hesitate to travel to dimensions, which all demons are reluctant to do.
It was routine for him to be away from the Demon Lord’s seat for months at a time, and on the days he returned from meeting reclusive masters from other dimensions, he would tirelessly tell stories of his heroics in front of him for hours.
‘Is this because we are from the same angel?’
Lucifer smiled bitterly.
Asmodeus, a direct subordinate of Archangel Metatronios and one of the archangels, was an angel who came down to the demon world before Lucifer.
Unlike Lucifer, who came to the demon world voluntarily, he is a true fallen angel who constantly fights with his fellow archangels and is eventually kicked out with all his wings torn off.
Even after being chased down to the demon world, he devoted himself to fighting like crazy and eventually rose to the position of devil king on the 44th floor, which was said to be the most dangerous, but he tried to be especially close to Lucifer.
‘Tartaros... until that black guy showed up.’
Lucifer’s eyes sank coldly.
“Lucifer, did you hear the news? “I heard that this guy called Tartarus is causing war throughout the entire dimension?”
When the guy named Tartarus first approached the demon world and explained about the Gate, Asmodeus was very excited.
「K~ It’s killing me? It’s like a war of gods. Since we were unfairly taken to the Demon World, we are fully qualified to participate in the war as forgotten gods!”
But his excitement did not last long.
“what? You don’t? why? It’s a great opportunity to run wild to your heart’s content. Lucifer. “I’m going to take revenge on those celestial bastards!”
From the beginning, the directions Asmodeus and Lucifer pursued were different.
Lucifer came down to the Demon World because he hated fighting with his colleagues, and
Asmodeus liked fighting himself, so he was kicked out to the Demon World.
And
there was only one reason why Asmodeus, who was a fighting maniac, did not join the rebels.
There seemed to be a gust of wind, and in an instant, Michael’s body came right in front of Damdeok.
“Ugh!”
Damdeok quickly pulled back.
Although he stumbled for a moment, he was out of Michael’s range for now.
“Whoa.”
Damdeok took a long, deep breath.
Although he also had Hermes’ winged shoes, flying and continuing to fight at the same time was an unfamiliar method for Damdeok.
No, honestly, it was a very awkward and difficult fight.
A question appeared on Michael’s face as he looked at Damdeok blankly.
[Hmm, you really killed Asmodeus with this kind of skill...?]
A glance.
Michael’s eyes turned to the middle of the land, which had already become a mess.
Asmodeus has fallen.
Above his waist, there was no longer any form left.
This was because Damdeok’s great sword pierced it in one go.
[...Aren’t you going to fight with all your might? Why?]
Michael’s spear extended straight out once again.
Kaang!
Damdeok threw it away and looked at the situation.
‘I held on to the strongest one...’
Now all that was left was to add the magic effect of becoming invisible for a few seconds, which is the Fairy King’s power.
The target is myself and all my colleagues here.
‘We will take advantage of the momentary disappearance and return to the original world all at once.’
That was the best way for everyone to return safely in this battlefield where angels were rushing towards them as if they were going to kill them.
‘Address rate fast!’
Damdeok’s eyes turned anxiously.
Even though his spiritual power was restored, the number of angels was still a problem.
‘The longer you hold out, the more disadvantageous you are.’
Even though he had gathered all his colleagues, the number of enemies was ‘dangerous’ itself.
‘Unlike Asmodeus, this guy named Michael is very calm.’
Perhaps the reason he was able to kill Asmodeus was because he gained the killing ability called , but what was more important was that he was arrogant due to his hot-tempered and simple nature.
‘Because I was able to use my abilities to the fullest and eliminate him while he was off guard.’
I was just lucky that all the circumstances coincided and I was able to pull it off.
If I were to use my original skills, wouldn’t I just be in a hurry to block the guy’s attack?
[What are you thinking?]
Michael’s spear pierced once again.
Wedge!
An attack that extends straight like a ray of light.
It was a simple attack, but the fast-flying spear blade was enough to make me sweat.
[I guess my mind is somewhere else. No way, you. It’s not like you’re thinking about anything else. For example...]
Michael’s spear spun splendidly.
Whirly!
And then soon! At the tip of the spear aimed was Damdeok’s eye.
Damdeok’s shaking eyes.
[The gaze is unsettling. Are you trying to run away?]
“....”
There was silence.
Michael’s brow furrowed ever so slightly.
[Hmm, I wanted to hear the details of how you killed that bastard Asmodeus... but I can’t help it if you’re planning on running away. I’m not like that idiot. I don’t do things like relax or let down my guard when the enemy is right in front of me. So, of course, I won’t miss you. [So...]
It seemed like Michael’s spear was moving backwards quickly, and then all of a sudden everything started to slow down, as if in slow motion.
‘what?’
I swear I didn’t activate .
‘You said that angels have the mysterious power to read the other person’s abilities.’
was an ability that he did not want anyone to discover. That is why he never used it.
But what does this familiar slow motion mean?
It was a time when Damdeok was completely unable to grasp the situation.
[...It’s not a pleasant situation.]
A low-pitched voice comes from behind.
Damdeok’s gaze quickly returned.
Flap!
Lucifer, with his black and large wings, was looking at Damdeok expressionlessly under the red sky of the Demon World.
