Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 115

26. Found in the Underground (4)

“I guess I liked it more than I thought. “Running a store.”

Yulgeum picked up a small tile that had fallen on the floor. It was a piece of mosaic that decorated the front of the shelf.

“Whether I like it or not, it’s mine. “Anyone who takes what’s mine should be prepared to spit out a hundred times more.”

“It seems like there was a mixture of self-interest in attacking Joryx Castle

.”

“Not just one or two reasons.”

“Are you also planning on training Zeke?”

“of course. That guy needs to be put to action. They are still less skilled than the Zodiac Knights. “I felt like I had an aura or something and it put a strain on my shoulder.”

“It will catch up soon. “Mr. Half Demon King.”

“Aren’t you and I both doggin dogs?”

“I have no intention of becoming stronger, right? “It’s not a character that fights anyone.”

Deus entered the back of the store, arguing with Yulgeum.

Deus tapped the ground with his toe at some point.

An echo was heard.

“Here it is.”

“Entrance to the basement?”

“yes. “First of all, I have buried valuables under the ground, but I don’t know if they will still be intact.”

“I don’t think the door was broken?”

“I have eyes too?”

“Anyway, speak kindly!” The moment Yulgeum got angry, Deus

hit rock bottom. The door shattered and his body was sucked into the ground.

Immediately, Yulgeum followed behind Deus.

I thought there was something like an ordinary staircase, but underneath it was a vertical cave about 10 meters high.

Yulgeum gently placed his foot on the wall.

His name was the god of dragons. There was no way I was going to panic about a trap that was just falling out of the ground.

I climbed down the wall and moved back to the floor.

“When did you make this?”

“I didn’t make it. “It was there originally.”

“Is it a sewer system?”

“I guess not. “It doesn’t smell.”

“Then what is it?”

When Yulgeum snapped his fingers, the surroundings became bright as daylight.

It was a huge anteroom.

Statues of giants were lined up left and right. The giants were holding their weapons as if to show respect to those passing through the hall.

“Wow, bad taste! “Did you enjoy making something like this?”

“What are you talking about, you damn woman? “Would I have made something like this?”

“I thought I was passing this road alone and throwing gold coins to my rock minions.”

“It’s been there from the beginning!”

“There is no need to raise your voice. Because I understand. “He was once a proud demon king, but now he is just a merchant.”

“Open your ears.”

“Enough joking, this place looks like a civilization of giants?”

“Of giants? So does that mean Zoryx Castle was originally made up of giants?”

“It’s highly likely. Originally, the human species had a culture of worshiping large things. However, since the creation of giants, the culture of winning and defeating giants has become a thing of the past.”

The two went deeper.

Beyond the vestibule, which was tens of meters deep, was a room about half that size.

Deus was using that room as a treasure trove.

But even though it was a treasure trove, it was just a few jewels and gold coins lying around. “Well,

I thought Jinsanjibo was nicely decorated to

show off, but how is it different from your room, which looked like a trash dump?”

“Why are you decorating with gold that you can’t even eat? The reason gold became a currency in the first place was because of its immutability, right? “Whether you stack them roughly or display them neatly, the price doesn’t change, right?”

Deus stretched out his hand and summoned a black hole.

“Move it to the demon world?”

“huh. “I think it would be easier to take out and use there.”

Deus

sucked up all the gold and jewels in the room with his black beads.

In an instant, the room became empty.

“Ah, what should I do with the dragon that was like Julie? Should we just release him? Or should I take more?”

“Just leave it alone. “Suffer a little more.”

“Why do you care so much about your children?”

“The more you cherish a child, the harsher you treat him.”

While Yulgeum was talking, he noticed something that looked like a door under his feet.

“I guess there’s a room downstairs?”

“I guess so.”

“You haven’t been there?”

“huh. “I don’t really like it underground… but they’re already opening the door.”

“Adventure adventure.”

“Is there anything adventurous? “It must be the basement again.”

This time, Yulgeum went down to the basement one step first.

Instead of falling into a vertical cave, my feet landed on neat stone steps.

“Maybe the floor collapsed because of the dragon that fell before.”

The site where Deus’ shop is now was where the dragon he met when he first came to Zoryx was buried.

It seemed as if the impact had affected the underground structure and opened the way to the giant’s hidden vestibule.

Deus shrugged his shoulders at Yulgeum’s excited voice.

“It looks like you’re still curious.”

“of course. “Every day is always new.”

“Isn’t there something you don’t know?”

“Are you making fun of me again because I lived so long?”

“No, it’s just… rather than teasing,

it’s actually the truth, right?”

“I don’t have a lot of time to hang out like this.”

“Well, it’s Jin Geum-yong.”

“It’s not that the work is difficult, but it never stops. “I stayed in my office doing something all the time, so I didn’t get to see much of the world.”

“Is it okay to do this now?”

“huh. are you okay.”

“why?”

“There is a cause.”

“Justice?”

« O ” Hmm.

n“—..

While speaking, Deus pointed to himself with his finger.

” me’?”

“Ding dong. The devil roams the human world. “Someone has to watch.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“It seems like he’s been so carefree that he’s not aware of it, but if it becomes known, it’s going to be an uproar. The Demon Lord appears in the human world. What is he planning? “This question alone would produce dozens of reports.” “

Why doesn’t everyone believe

that I defeated the devil so selflessly ?”

“I believe.”

Yulgeum looked straight into Deus’ eyes.

“I believe you because I know that you are truly skeptical about being a demon lord.”

Deus felt burdened by Yulgeum’s direct gaze.

“Yes, thank you. “But they don’t give me money.”

“I’m embarrassed again. “If you just look at me, you’re not a bad person.”

“That’s an insult, right? “You are not a bad person to the devil who enjoys

slaughter and destruction .”

“You have to take that into consideration. That’s not to say that my personality isn’t crooked. “My personality is just broken.”

The conversation became quite long.

This meant that the stairs leading to the basement were deep.

When Yulgeum realized that point, he looked back at the place he had passed at the top of the stairs leading to the spiral.

“I think I’ve come down a good 70 meters.”

It was the remains of a giant.

It was impossible to hold one floor at 3 meters like a human, but even so, it was quite deep.

“What on earth is down here?”

“I don’t know.’’

“You’ve been sitting on these ruins for half a year and not paying any attention to me?”

“You were an employee at our store too.”

“When did I? “I was a guest?”

“Is that so?”

“I did help sometimes.”

“I don’t remember much.”

“You really don’t seem to be interested in what’s going on around you.” Yulgeum flicked his tongue and

took steps downward again.

Each staircase was nearly 1 meter high, so it felt like I was running down rather than walking.

By the time they passed 150 meters, Yulgeum and Deus stopped walking.

The body was launched and flew down at high speed.

But even there, it ended after descending almost twice as deep.

“It’s a relic of the Gilded Age, right?”

There, Deus asked Yulgeum.

Large door and handle with button.

Something similar to the Golden Age gate that was once seen in the city of short charcoal workers appeared.

Yulgeum nodded and pressed the buttons one after another.

Several ancient characters appeared, a warning beep sounded, and the door slowly opened with a heavy mechanical sound.

“What is that?”

“Isn’t it God?”

“God of giants?”

“really?”

“I don’t know either.”

“Are you going to become like Jin Geum-yong and say something without thinking?”

“But doesn’t it just come to mind? The word ‘God’.”

Deus looked ahead again.

It was a bright cavity.

It was unknown how light came into the space hundreds of meters below ground.

It may be simple to think of it as magic, but that light felt like the light of the sun itself.

The giant was lying down in

the light shining in the lush green forest .

Like a scene from mythology.

He was pinned to the ground with his heart pierced by a long spear.

It was a giant human-shaped being, even though it was framed as a 10-meter-tall giant.

It was no wonder that Yulgeum was called God. Deus felt the same way.

That’s God.

“What on earth is here?”

Deus looked around.

It was clear that it was a relic of the Gilded Age. The walls

sparkled white and there was a soft light on the ceiling.

What was underneath was soil with dirt.

The huge room, which stretched about 100 meters in all directions, was full of small trees and moss, as if it were a living forest.

“It looks like a greenhouse.”

“greenhouse? “You mean the place where they farm?”

“huh. “I don’t know exactly.”

“I guess there’s no name written this time?”

Instead of answering, Yulgeum patted the wall.

“It seems like a material that traps heat. “The heat generated internally will remain close to 100 percent.”

“But why is that greenhouse here? Also, what is that dead thing in the middle of the greenhouse? Are you a farmer?”

porridge. ji. No. Yes. all.

The voice echoed throughout the greenhouse.

Deus looked at the titan with a surprised expression.

Yulgeum covered her mouth with her hand.

“He’s not dead? But the heart…

you. Is. my. neck. cow. lee. go. Knock. bar. as. field. lee. Is. go.

Deus soared into the sky and stood in the air in front of the giant’s eyes.

“It’s hard to say it’s straight. “Are you intentionally interrupting me?”

yet. The language will come soon. more. story. cast. under. noodle.

“It’s so hard to understand. What are you more than that?”

Nong. buy. The trickster. Foot.

“It’s not funny. Is the structure different from that of humans

? “There was clearly a spear stabbed in the heart.”

sick. C. Ha. Ji Man Shim Jang Eun. yes. dog. more. there is.

“So what are you?”

“My name is Gaigantepa. “He is the father of all giants.”

“Do you think your mouth is working well now?”

“Ah, since I was trapped alone and couldn’t say a word, not only my mouth but the muscles of my entire body were stiff.”

“I guess it’s worth moving now. “Why are we trapped here?”

“My seven sons betrayed me. “He killed me and imprisoned me here to take

my wife.”

“Oh, my ears feel rotten. “I know very well that your family is a mess, so please continue living here.”

Deus left these words and tried to move to another place with Yul Geum.

“Now wait a minute! “Do you have strength?”

“There is, why?”

“Then release me. Pull out this spear stuck deep in the earth and set me free. “If you do that,

I will give you a treasure you have never seen in your life.”

Deus stopped for a moment and turned his head to look at the giant.

I sigh briefly.

“I heard you’ve been trapped here for a long time.”

“Yes. “It’s a longer time than you can imagine.”

“I heard your children took away your wife?”

“It’s a shame.”

“Your property would have been taken away anyway.”

“That was…

“You were going to run away if I gave you a proper beating and saved your life, right? No,

judging by the nature of these giants, you are planning to kill me, right?”

“No! That can’t be possible.”

“Okay, do you want to be released?”

“Of course!”

“Then write a contract.”

” contract?”

“Be my slave.”
