Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 136

31. Overwhelmed by the Demon King (4)

The Holy Knights who were fighting against the Demon King glanced back without realizing it.

Saint Signy.

Her wand was blessing.

The land filled with light encouraged the knights just by standing there.

If a person has an unbreakable heart,

he or she becomes stronger than anyone else.

He overcame all the pain and withstood the Demon King’s enormous attack.

The field of blessing created by the Rodemwood Staff of Destruction did not simply increase courage.

The wound healed and the broken bone healed in an instant.

The wizards’ exhausted spirits quickly recovered.

The shield became stronger and the sword became sharper.

In a miracle that seemed to be the result of all the magic of the high-ranking priests, the Zodiac

Knights demonstrated abilities several times greater than their own.

Oridon approached Cadenza, who was standing close to him.

“Are you okay?”

Cadenza had a serious wound on his arm and was bleeding.

Thanks to Signi’s blessing, the wound was healing quickly, but it seemed like it would take some time.

“You’re really strong.”

Oridon saw the Demon King for the first time.

Now five Zodiac Knights were scrumming in front of him.

Only by combining divine power can he barely block the fragments of his magic spirit energy.

I couldn’t even imagine dealing with it from the front.

But Oridon realized that Cadenza was looking in a different direction and turned his head back.

“You mean Miss Signy?”

“If it weren’t for her, the Demon Lord would have been wiped out when he first appeared.”

“I can’t deny it. “Who would have imagined that that little girl would have such incredible power?”

“She also seems to have awakened to Generation Zero. But why?”

“Is this the truth you heard from Michael?” Cadenza nodded.

“They said the reason Zeke realized the aura was because I spent a long time with him.”

Oridon said the word ‘he’ and looked at the Demon King in front of him.

The two paladins mistook the Demon King, whose huge body was now revealed in front of them, for Deus.

“But then, why did Ms. Signy awaken?”

Oridon’s short reply.

“I guess it wasn’t the day I spent with an angel.”

“It is the night of sacred protection.” The night he obtained the Rodemwood Staff of Destruction, Signi spent an entire night in prayer in the high heat of the oracle.

“I guess the reason Michael sent us here was because he believed in Miss Signy’s power.”

Cadenza took the shield in his hand again.

The sacred power of the Cadenza, which was nothing more than a small stick,

created a translucent film as soon as it was acquired.

“Oridon.”

” uh?”

“After we win this fight, Ashkaron will also move.”

Oridon raised the corners of his mouth high.

“Is this a demon world without a demon lord?”

“The true winner of the war spanning 666 centuries will soon be determined.”

Oridon shook his head.

“But that’s after we win. I didn’t see any chance of winning…

After speaking, I ran towards the Demon King.

It was just as Oridon said.

The Demon King was too strong.

The entire earth was turned upside down by the devil’s power. The area where his power could reach was hundreds of meters.

The humans who were unable to escape were reduced to a state of exhaustion. If Signi’s blessing had not protected him as a shield, a quarter of the human army would have been disintegrated in that single blow.

It was overwhelming.

Even though I had the protection of angels, my heart was broken several times by the power of the devil. I was crushed.

Signi’s arm, which was holding the staff, was slightly sagged.

No matter how much she said she received Michael’s blessing, she was only a 10-year-old girl.

Every time I received the power of the Demon King with my whole body, my body trembled with pain that felt like I was going to faint.

As her arm came down, her aura also weakened.

As the power of the staff decreased, the Demon King’s power became stronger.

Yulgeum, who was next to Signi, supported Signi’s arms.

The staff rose again to a high place.

The holy light returned. The soldiers poured out their courage with great enthusiasm.

“Thank you, Yulgeum.”

“There’s no need to overdo it.”

“no. “We need to protect at least one more person.”

“You can’t do everything alone.”

“As hard as it is for me, I may be able to save someone’s life.”

Yulgeum looked at Signy again.

It was amazing that a child of only 10 years old could even think like that.

“Hold on just a little longer. “The savior will come soon.”

Supporting Signy’s hand, Yulgeum turned his eyes towards the far west.

A golden cross was brilliantly embroidered in the sky.

It was Holy Cross.

The Demon King vs. the Hero.

It may be a cliché, but it was a desperate reality on the Joseon continent.

Human soldiers risked their lives in a battle against the devil’s army.

The Demon King’s army was strong.

Imae and Mangyang refer to various types of goblins with unique appearances.

Monsters called Gwanhyeong, with holes in the solar plexus and eyes, nose, and mouth on their chests, were brandishing long swords and attacking the private soldiers of the Holy Arrowis family.

Holy Arrowis was a prestigious warrior family of the Erion Federation.

The Federation of Erion was a country made up of 10 principalities.

Holy Arrowis

was also the owner of one of those ten principalities. Against the background of strong power, it was always producing G-class or higher warriors.

Hervonia Pan Holiaropis, who led the expeditionary force this time, was also one of the most powerful warriors of the 4th generation, and at one point was even mentioned as a candidate for the 10th Zodiac Knight.

However, in front of Lee Mae-mang-ryang’s army, the power of the human world was of no value.

The battle line had long since collapsed due to the ferocity of the iron-eating Gwanhyung army.

If it weren’t for the saint’s protection, they would have been routed long ago and become the monster’s prey.

Hervonia was holding on to her shield, which was beginning to feel weak, and was engaging in a difficult one-on-one fight with the commander of the Gwanhyung army.

The enemy’s knife was aimed at the throat. The attack was so sudden that I had no choice but to raise my shield and block it head on. His shield was made of dragon scales and was of the highest quality, but the problem

was that it

had already been three centuries since it was made, so it was worn out.

The shield split with an ominous sound.

Herbonia cheered and threw the broken shield at the enemy.

It worked, but the problem was what happened next.

The squire took another shield and handed it into Herbonia’s hands. Immediately after that, the servant lost his life to the enemy’s sword.

Although the shield was said to be back in hand, the situation continued to worsen.

At best, there was no way that an ordinary shield made by smelting steel

could play a big role in a war against the demon elite.

After only three powerful clashes, the shield was broken.

Herbonia lamented.

“Faithful servant, the shield you gave me at the cost of your life is so pathetic!”

He held the sword with both hands and blocked the large sword of the Gwanhyungjok commander.

However, the difference in power between goblins and humans was clear.

Every time I blocked, my body

was pushed back.

The retreat of the warrior meant the retreat of the front line. As the enemy’s momentum increased, sacrifices increased.

I tried to force myself to move forward, but the wounds only increased.

Herbonia closed her eyes tightly and looked behind her.

God!

Even if it is very small, I would appreciate it….

Please help me.

At that moment, a lightning-like light struck in front of him.

“Get back, evil! The sword of the Lord will be more powerful than the typhoon!”

A shout of thunder rang in the ears of the Gwanheung tribe.

The boy came down from the sky and sprayed powerful sword energy in all directions.

Commander Gwanhong, who was dealing with Herbonia, was cut in two and fell down, and dozens of Guanhyungs around him were swept away by the sword energy and lost their lives.

The boy’s body was filled with a mysterious light.

The sword spits out a golden cross and

slashes at the devil.

The shield surrounded by rainbows was impervious to anything.

Herbonia stuttered and asked the boy who felt like a messenger from God.

“You all…

“Sieg van Holwitsch. “I am a warrior of Zoryx.”

Zeke gave a brief greeting and ran forward again.

A woman followed right behind like a shadow. It was Lakhe.

Lakhe served as a stepping stone for Zeke.

To avoid being surrounded by enemies, vines were summoned to clear a path.

However, it was Zeke’s sword skills that broke through the enemy lines.

The swordsmanship he learned from Scatul has now been fully mastered and has reached the point of blooming.

Although he had only learned advanced swordsmanship for about half a year, nearly 10 years had passed since Zeke first encountered swordsmanship.

He practiced his family’s swordsmanship every single day, and the basics were already complete.

The Holy Cross spewed out from the sword

.

It was the light of God that could not be stopped by anything.

Every time the sword was swung, dozens of demons lost their lives.

The number of captain-level goblins and demonic spirits who died at the hands of Zeke was already well over three digits.

The place Zeke was heading to now was the center of the previous chapter.

The closer we got, the stronger the enemy resistance. But no one could stop him.

Last one.

It was already enough for Zeke to be called that.

The Demon King’s strike distorted space and struck the Zodiac Knights.

The corpse of a paladin was lying where the fierce attack had passed.

He was a knight of the Mountain Goat Seat and died heroically, blocking the inevitable blow with his whole body.

But his colleagues did not even get a chance to mourn his death.

The saint’s protection has weakened slightly.

The gap was small, but the devil’s power was strong.

The knight of Aquarius lost his sword-holding arm forever.

The battle line that was barely maintained was about to collapse.

The Zodiac Knights gritted their teeth and raised their depleted divine power.

Since they were like this, the situation for other warriors was even worse.

Even the top-ranked D-class warriors were already struggling due to extreme fatigue.

Like the young warriors of the Holifer family, there were quite a few who left the front lines in search of a way to escape.

Defeat is a foregone conclusion.

Now the time has come to decide how we will be defeated.

When everyone was feeling that way, a boy appeared on the battlefield.

A 14-year-old boy covered in dust.

To anyone who could see him, his body looked weak.

He was just over 170 centimeters tall and did not have a sturdy body.

The only thing that stands out is the armor, which is a combination of blue and black. The armor made from

dragon scales and other similar

materials firmly protected his seemingly weak body.

But it was neither his armor nor his body that contained his true power.

“You’re here!”

Oridon cheered.

The Zodiac Knights, who were exhausted and driven to their core, roared with joy.

At that moment, the Demon King’s momentum suddenly changed.

All the darkness gathered in his fist, as if he had dealt with it moderately so far.

Dark spiral!

The turning blow created a huge whirlwind.

Even the paladins retreated from the enormous dark magic that spewed out from the tips of their fists.

Except for one person, Zeke.

Instead, Zeke ran forward.

The shield was pushed into the dark spiral that seemed to swallow the world.

An aura of brilliance that seemed to blind one’s eyes took the Demon King’s blow.
