#144. Heavenly Demon Cheontaerang (5)
“… This seat is.”
In a cave filled with cool air, Cheon Tae-rang solemnly opened his mouth while sitting cross-legged.
“This office will not help you.”
The tone was solemn, as if a big decision had been made, but Damdeok and Jooyul calmly accepted the words.
“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, didn’t not only the ice giants, but also the wolf spirits and Pao’s mummy troops come out in full force?
It was a large-scale operation that required an enormous amount of divine power.
For Damdeok, it had only been a short time since he came to this world, and it was as if he had begun taking on the burden of 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’m not sure if that’s why I feel guilty, or if there are other complicated reasons, but I can’t say I’m going to die so suddenly.”
“Why not?”
Cheon Taerang asked as if he was genuinely curious.
I saw my name in their memories.
I saw an unknown title called the martial arts worldview, and I also saw people talking 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.”
“We have to gather them all… But didn’t one person die?”
“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 helps 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 Ju Soo-yul with pitch-black eyes that seemed like they would be sucked in.
“If one of the Guardians is already dead… “It doesn’t really matter if one more person leaves 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 she said she would just let me go?”
“No, why doesn’t it matter? An entire dimension destruction scenario is about to begin? I guess I’ll just 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?
“therefore… I mean… .”
Damdeok, who was momentarily embarrassed, tried to speak again, but Cheontaerang interrupted him.
“It is of no concern to me even if this world continues down a path of further destruction.”
It was a word that drove a wedge.
“ha. driving me crazy.”
Damdeok scratched the back of his head.
“OMG! My stomach is exploding! So bro! “Why did you needlessly save a guy like that?”
White clouds too! He started 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 had high expectations, but it turned out to be scary… .”
The two of them were trying to act rationally, but even they showed signs of exhaustion.
Coming face to face with a traumatic massacre scene and immediately sitting down with the person responsible for it to persuade him or her to become a colleague was 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 coming 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. “Now that I’ve lost everything, I don’t want to have to shoulder something new again.”
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 unknown.
But no matter how much I thought and tried, this terrible dilemma could not be resolved.
This terrible dilemma of not being able to die, but not being able to live… .
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 Taerang 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 talking.
“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.
[
[A different type of fear has been discovered!]
[Fear resistance increases further!]
“What, then, are you planning to live alone in this destroyed 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? Now that means… ?”
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 he 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.
For a moment, everyone was tense, thinking, ‘Isn’t it possible they’re going to attack me?’ But everyone only felt chills down their spines, and nothing happened inside the cave.
Cheon Taerang’s hand stopped for an instant.
Soon after,
Sssss.
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,
Clap la la rock!
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!
Soon, twenty blue swords began to fill the cave.
Even without touching each sword, it moved as if it were alive, 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 Tae-rang climbed onto the hollow rock and sat cross-legged again.
The cave where she killed her two brothers, and where her own hell unfolded, was the perfect place to use as her final resting place.
“… “If you put 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?”
With a loud laugh, clap! A loud sound echoed within the cave.
When Cheon Taerang instinctively looked back,
There, Damdeok, surrounded by dozens of bluish swords, was looking at her with a grin.
