Chapter 30
I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 30
#30. Apollo’s Sun Chariot (2)
– Heehee!
The horses neighed and kicked the ground vigorously.
Doo doo doo! Doo doo doo!
It was so powerful that the huge carriage and fire pit were being pulled quickly.
Dudduddu! Baekseol was startled by the vibrations felt in the carriage and snuggled into Damdeok’s arms.
A wide meadow could be seen through the swaying horse’s mane.
The traces of the sun carriage’s passage every day remained intact in the meadow.
‘Only the middle road has all the grass burned.’
A straight, charred road in a green meadow.
Giant horses began to run powerfully along the road that stretched out like a runway.
Doo doo doo! Doo doo doo doo!!!
The legs of the horses, which were speeding at great speed, soon kicked off the end of the runway and flew up,
and boom!
A feeling of floating at the same time.
I felt a strong sense of floating, like when I boarded a low-cost aircraft.
The loud sound of the horses’ hooves and the rough vibration of the carriage all became quiet in an instant.
The sun chariot was quietly crossing the dusky dawn sky.
“Wow, this really kills my mood…”
were the first words Damdeok blurted out.
The early morning air passed by my face pleasantly.
The temperature was just right as the heat from the fire pit (called the sun) rising behind it warmed up the chill of the early morning.
Absolutely perfect.
It was a near-perfect moment.
“Wow, I’ve lived and worked part-time jobs like this…”
Damdeok had worked many part-time jobs for gods before, but he couldn’t accept this one calmly.
Ju Soo-yul glanced at Damdeok, who was admiring him with his mouth open, and laughed.
“Hold the handle tight. It goes up further.”
“uh? “Aaaah!”
The horses made sharp turns and began to rise vertically into the sky.
“hey! “Aren’t you going too high?”
Despite Damdeok’s worried tone, he drove the carriage without paying attention to the address.
A slope that is so slanted that your back rests against the backrest.
It felt like I was riding a roller coaster going up to the top without wearing a seat belt.
‘Aren’t you going to die like this?’
If you fall from this height, you will die instantly!
However, thanks to Zhou Juyul’s skillful hands, the solar chariot safely entered the sky orbit.
Ju Soo-yul said that now all he had to do was keep running like this, and his eyes focused on Damdeok’s hands tightly holding the handle.
“…hey. “What kind of divine power are you using to hold it?”
“divine power? “Who said they used divine power?”
Hmm. Damdeok cleared his throat and hastily removed his hand from the handle.
Now, even without whipping, the horses were running along the track on their own.
‘Yoo Dam-deok, his fear of heights hasn’t gone away even in this life…’
Ju So-yul sighed and looked at Dam-deok.
Yu Dam-deok.
That stupid wild wolf-looking guy had a terrible fear of heights even during my 1869 reincarnations.
‘My face always turns white at important moments…’
Since it seemed like I wouldn’t be able to kill ‘it’ even if I were reincarnated 18690 times instead of 1869 times, I had to take special measures.
Although numerous operations (the so-called operation to eradicate fear of heights) failed, it was fortunate that the Spartan-style education that had been carried out since the 1840th birth resulted in much improvement.
“Damn it. “If you think about how I got hit and run at the Dragon Airfield every time I tried to teach him…”
Damdeok is shocked by Ju Soo-yul’s muttering words! I put my face in.
“what? “Who hit and run?”
“….”
Ju Soo-yul wordlessly pushed his butt further away from Damdeok and sat with his legs crossed.
“Why is it like that all of a sudden again?”
He mumbles to himself and then gets serious, but he is a kid who doesn’t even know.
Damdeok scratched his head and looked around.
The sun chariot still runs quietly.
As I looked down into the distance, my heart started pounding.
‘It can’t be compared to the height I jumped from when I destroyed the gate.’
Still, the tingling thrill was quite pleasant.
Although one hand was still holding tightly to the carriage handle…
the feeling of floating was quite relaxing.
I was looking down for a while and thought,
“Huh? what. “Are they bowing down to us now?”
A village with ancient Greek architecture.
In front of the huge temple, people were gathered in groups of twos and threes, bowing towards the sky.
It was a strange feeling to see everyone, both children and adults, bowing to the sun chariot in unison.
Addressul, who was next to me, muttered softly.
“Apollon, you bastard….”
Jooyul gathered his hands in silent condolences, saying that these were poor people who were being scammed every day.
‘Was this the image of Apollo? haha.’
In the current situation, even that felt like fun.
How long did it run?
As we passed through cute villages and temples of various shapes and reached a barren desert area and a mountain covered in pure white permanent snow, Damdeok’s intuition suddenly appeared.
[Power intuition is demonstrated!]
‘What is it? Suddenly, an ominous energy…’
The head that had been looking down the whole time turned forward.
The manes of horses swaying quietly. The blue sky beyond.
I saw black dots in the distance.
“What is that…? Hey address rate.”
I called seriously, but there was no answer.
When I turned to the side, I saw Jusoyul asleep with his arms crossed, motionless.
“…are you really sleeping?”
Does he sleep this high?
It was a bit absurd, but now there was no time to even wake up Joo-yul.
Meanwhile, the black dots grew bigger in an instant and were flying towards the golden carriage.
“Isn’t that a flock of birds?”
A flock of black birds covered the sky in front. I don’t know what kind they were, but they were incredibly large.
“I thought it would pass by quietly.”
This was the end of our leisurely sky tour.
Damdeok grabbed the reins and quickly climbed to the front of the carriage.
I felt dizzy from the dizzying height.
‘Damn, it’s so damn high. If you hit that number, it’s over.’
Bird strike is when an airplane collides with a bird. Isn’t it said that even a single collision can cause the plane’s body to bend?
“There’s no way an old carriage like this could hold up.”
Damdeok jerked the reins.
– Heehee!
The horses stopped, raising their front feet high.
The moment a flock of black birds got close to your nose,
“If you don’t want to die, get out of the way.”
Before we knew it, pure white sword energy was coming out of Damdeok’s hand holding the sword! It stretched out.
The birds that had been flying peacefully scattered in confusion. Some even fell after being struck by sword energy.
Ssssssssssssssssssssssshh!
Damdeok nodded, looking at the white sword quietly waving.
‘It’s pretty good.’
At the same time as reaching 25,000 spiritual power, several Sword God powers were unlocked.
The initial power I chose when I first became a low-level god was intuition, but other than the initial power, most of the powers that seemed good were locked, but as my divine power increased, they were unlocked one by one.
It was Damdeok who chose something called sword energy instead of wave cutting, which consumes a lot of physical strength, and updated his profile.
‘Because we can’t just rely on wave cutting.’
After using Wave Slash two or three times at most, your spiritual power will run out.
On the other hand, sword energy was the unique power of the sword body, so he could easily swing it thirty times.
‘It’s a little less powerful than a wave cut, but it’s still enough.’
Look over there.
Wasn’t the dark skyway completely clear in one fell swoop?
The birds were flapping their wings in a way that did not fit their large size, and were avoiding the sun chariot with both forks.
With just one sword swing, Damdeok cleared the skyway.
“It’s nothing special.”
He arrogantly puts his sword on his shoulder and turns around…
“Huh?”
Jujuyul, who was sleeping motionless, was nowhere to be seen.
An empty coach seat.
Damdeok opened his eyes and looked around.
“what. “Where have you been?”
As I concentrated my attention, I heard a sound coming from the roof of the carriage.
Sure enough, as soon as I went up to the roof, I could see Jusoyul’s back.
‘What are you looking at?’
The direction the address was facing was the direction where Apollo’s fire pit was hanging.
I followed Ju Soo-yul’s gaze and looked there.
“…What are those again?”
I couldn’t help but believe my eyes.
Grumble! Aren’t there some skinny dogs clinging to a fiercely burning fire pit?
“After a flock of birds, is this time a flock of dogs?”
How on earth did a bunch of dogs get on the fire pit?
This was above the sky.
That could be as high as 20,000 feet in the air.
But the guys in front of me weren’t just a bunch of dogs.
They looked like the incarnation of hell, covered in flames all over their bodies, watching us with flashing eyes and eating away at the flames of the fire pit.
“weird. Originally, there were no sun wolves on this road…”
Ju Soo-yul was mumbling as he looked at the burning dogs with sunken eyes.
Sun Wolf?
Those things that look like hellhounds?
At first, the skinny, burning body looked strange, but was it because it had eaten Apollo’s fire pit? Their bodies began to grow plump and fatter.
“This is unexpected. But…”
Jusoyul suddenly turned to me, wondering how he knew I had come.
“how is it. “If you were me now, would you be able to do it?”
Her voice was so calm, unlike the chaos in front of her.
‘Haechiundara….’
To be honest, I knew it intuitively.
Those so-called solar wolves are a little stronger than me now.
Wouldn’t it be nice if we fought one on one?
I wouldn’t be able to handle a group of about a dozen of them by myself.
I wonder if Soo-yul could help me…
But after glancing back at him, I quickly gave up on that idea.
As soon as I saw Soo-yul’s expressionless face, I remembered the story we shared together before coming here.
“To truly prevent the war of the gods, you must become stronger than me. “The savior in the prophecy is not me, but you.”
However, Ju Ju-yul’s precognitive ability shows Yu Dam-deok, who has already become stronger. I am not who I am now.
From now on, Jooyul promised that he would completely help me become stronger.
That means….
‘If possible, I have to solve it on my own.’
Only then will I be able to monopolize the rewards and quickly become stronger to block everything as Ju Ju-yul predicted.
‘Let’s think about it. ‘You have to think.’
Should I throw my sword at them right now?
That’s not enough.
All you have to do is go behind the fire pit and hide.
What if you use wave cutting?
If you don’t finish it within two or three attempts, your chances of winning are further diminished.
If you jump into a pit of fire and fight… you’ll burn to death in an instant, right?
It is said that we are currently surrounded by the subtle protection of the waves, but that may not be enough.
‘shit! ‘Can’t it be good?’
Ju Soo-yul looked at Damdeok, who was sweating.
‘I’ll have to step in before the carriage crashes, but until the very end, you must resolve it with your own strength.’
That’s what he said, but in reality, Ju Ju-yul thought that with Damdeok’s current skills, it would be absolutely impossible for him to chase away the sun wolves by himself.
The solar wolves were strong enough to annoy even me, and Apollo’s fire pit was also so hot that it was difficult to get close to it.
‘There’s nothing we can do about it. I need some help with this one…’
Ju Soo-yul’s pupils widened slightly as he pulled out the dagger from his waist, and his movements stopped.
It was obviously because Damdeok, who had been groaning in front of me just moments before, suddenly relaxed.
‘What is that guy? ‘What are you laughing at now?’
Damdeok was looking into space and smiling.
[Title: The one who tamed Cerberus!]
Description: A dog among dogs! You have tamed the charismatic sentinel of hell!
From now on, I give you the power to tame all the dogs in the world.
Acquire the unique characteristic ‘Opening Decree’!
“There’s an old saying like that.”
Damdeok smiled and looked at the burning sun wolves.
[Activate the trait ‘Opening Order’!]
“The one who wins without fighting is the real one.”
