Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 137

32. Farewell to an era (1)

Through the gap in the torn aura, the magic energy stretched out like a whip and scratched the surroundings.

With just that, one warrior died without even being able to scream.

While the Zodiac Knights raised their shields to block the whips of the Demon Spirit flowing out, Zeke stood in front of the Demon King, gritting his teeth.

Light and darkness encroach on each other.

The human inside, Zeke, was receiving a shock that felt as if his soul was being eaten away.

The pain had already reached its limit and I couldn’t even pinpoint where it hurt.

It felt like it was tickling, so I looked away and the blue flames melted my flesh, exposing my bones.

Although the body was regenerated by someone’s recovery magic, the pain remained like a hallucination and ate away at the nerves.

But I didn’t care.

There was no way I could be overcome by pain and suffering.

He is a warrior.

Zeke took another step forward.

The power of the aura finally began to push away the darkness.

The dark spiral width was interrupted.

The Demon King’s fist, which had been pressing down on Zeke’s shield like a whirlwind, stopped moving forward and retreated.

He blocked the Demon King’s blow with all his might.

It was only a one-time collision, but it was the first time the Demon King’s advance was stopped.

Cadenza and Oridon rushed to Zeke’s side.

There was no need for conversation.

It was enough to tap each other’s shoulders and exchange glances.

There is no more defeat.

Zeke nodded and took a big step forward.

An aura erupted from his back like wings.

People who were exposed to that light had one feeling in their hearts.

It’s called hope.

“Are you saying this isn’t enough?” Deus swept away his bloody hair and spat blood-mixed spit on the floor.

The power of the Demon King that had briefly resided in both arms was now almost exhausted.

The human body was too weak.

But it seemed like things would get even more complicated if I took it off.

Deus looked annoyed as he glared at Suzaku.

I didn’t think I would feel this bad if I just attacked him with the intention of killing him.

That monster called Suzaku just stopped his feet.

“Alex!”

Deus called out his vassal’s name.

But no answer came back.

It was clearly something he planned.

Ever since the day of the funeral of Daroche the Glutton, one of the Seven Dukes, Alex had been plotting things in the background.

In the end, even he himself was treated as dead. After that

, there was no bother for

Deus from the demon world .

For a while, Deus was just minding his own business, as if he had truly lost his connection with the demon world.

Then one day the volcano erupted.

According to Yulgeum’s words, it seemed that Jujak was an accessory to the eruption of the volcano.

Suzaku, one of the four demonic beasts that ended the Silver Age.

It seems that traces of that power were found and used as the energy of a volcanic eruption.

The volcano brought up the mugwort monsters as well.

Monsters that

gained great power due to the influence of mugwort ran rampant in the human world.

It was also Alex who did that.

Deus had a hard time understanding why he suddenly started drinking so hard.

Because the Demon King is absent?

Are you saying that the reason he used the already dead 665-year-old demon spirit to plan something like the coming of the demon king was because he left the demon world?

“You crazy bastard! What on earth are you doing? “It’s suddenly a war, so what value is there in this fight

?”

Nezar, who was behind him, burst into laughter as he saw Deus suddenly shouting into the air.

I muttered, “That’s finally gone crazy.”

But Deus’s talking to himself did not stop.

“Crawl out when they say nice things. Given your personality, there’s no way you’re in a place where you can’t hear my voice. Pop out until you count to ten. Otherwise you will regret it. One, two…

“If you want to go crazy, go somewhere quiet and

go crazy alone. “Why do you go crazy in front of such a powerful enemy, neither too late nor too early!”

Nezar glanced at Suzaku.

It felt like if Deus went wrong, sparks would fly towards him.

I wanted to run away, but I couldn’t move because I was afraid that if I didn’t go to my owner, Zeke, I would be tortured for the rest of my life.

“That’s why you should always use your mind carefully. “Even if you act like you’re strong, you will be higher.”

Deus looked back at Nezar.

“Can you please shut up?”

“What did I say? “It’s time to talk to each other, isn’t it?”

“I’m not talking to myself.”

“You would say so.”

Deus shouted.

“heat!”

“I counted to ten. “It still hasn’t come out, what should I do now?”

“Okay, that’s how it comes out. Then I will destroy the magic spirit.”

Deus placed his hand on the center of his chest.

“After today, I return to being a normal human being. “I’ve been indebted to you for a long time, you damn Alex!”

At the moment when Nezar was confused, a long sigh was heard from the empty space.

“Your lord has won.”

A man appeared from a gap in space.

He went straight to Nezar’s side. Then he grabbed Nezar’s pole with his hands and lifted it high.

“Rude guy. All you can say to Him is worship and respect. Ridicule and ridicule are prohibited.”

Nezar squealed and tried to escape his grasp.

However, Nezar’s strength without the Almighty Bracelet could never defeat him.

The power of Kyo Goku Alex, one of the Seven Dukes of the Demon World.

“I’m sorry my lord.”

Throwing Nezar aside, Alex knelt in front of Deus.

“Soshin organized things as he pleased. “It is entirely my fault…

please kill me.”

“Yes, I will kill you. “Come here and stick your head out.”

“Normally, if it’s like this, shouldn’t you think about it a little before answering?”

“No, I just want to kill you. I think that will make me feel a little more at ease. “Because the stability of my heart is more important than your life.”

“That’s too much! You don’t even know how I planned this…

“This? How would you feel if you dragged that skeletal old man to the battlefield?

huh?”

“Did you recognize it?”

“Why don’t you recognize me and the smell of an old man can be felt dozens of kilometers away?”

“As expected, my lord is amazing.”

“The flattery is over. If you want to live even now, put everything back the way it was. Push the volcano back into the ground. “Return that red bird, which is considered a masterpiece, to its original place.”

“How can you name Suzaku! Ah, it looks like Yulgeum was talking about it.”

“Do you remember Yulgeum’s identity now?”

“Yes? When did I forget? “Aren’t you Jin Geum Yong?”

“Anyway, put it back the way it was. “Isn’t it too big of a scale for even the Seven Dukes of the Demon World to commit, let alone the Demon Lord?”

“It’s big.”

“Can you handle it?”

“Are you worried about my convictions? “This old subject is so moved that he is almost in tears.”

“If you can’t handle it, shit will splash on me.”

“You’re embarrassed again.”

“Come on. They told me to give it my all. “Cut off the Deng River.”

“My lord! “Aren’t you curious?”

“what?”

“Why did I plan this…

“No, not at all. Well, I guess that’s why it’s such an obvious answer. “The Demon King is so insignificant that he wants to reduce the power of humans.”

“Is that why?”

“My lord, you did something wrong!”

“Tell me honestly.”

“What do you mean?”

“There is no way to fix it.”

“What kind of settlement do you mean?”

“What are you going to do now? Reviving the previous Demon King with only his Demon Soul remaining. “If you are suddenly killed by the warriors, you will lose your magic spirit.”

“It can’t be. “There’s no way the 4th generation warriors could defeat the Demon King, right?”

“You don’t know? “Are you pretending not to know?”

“What do you mean?”

“Don’t you know that Zeke awakened into Generation Zero

?”

“…Zeek? “You mean that Zeke?”

“Is there another Zeke?”

“He’s the boy I know, the B-class hero from a family of contract warriors in Joryx Castle, right?”

” that’s right.”

“Where are you now?”

“On this island. “I don’t know the exact location, but with that guy’s personality, he would have already set off to catch the Demon King, right?”

“I didn’t hear anything like that…

“You didn’t hear that? From whom?”

“So, from the glutton.”

“So get out of the way. “If we don’t resolve it quickly, it will escalate.”

“My lord!”

“Why are you yelling again?”

“How about we go back together? Everyone is anxiously waiting for the day when the master returns. Gluttonous Darosh, I, and Crater Ifrit waited for our lord to plan this attack.”

Deus snorted.

“That’s stupid.”

“Why are our hearts like that

…

“You don’t know either. “About the devil.”

“Well, you may not know the details.”

“The devil’s body is forty. This body with the demon spirit energy is nothing more than a vessel that passes through for a while. “The one fighting Zeke right now is the real devil.”

“He is the demon king of the past. “You have almost lost your strength.”

“Lack of power does not mean that you are not your true self. Shall I say that again,

you idiot! If the demon soul is destroyed, the demon lord will disappear from this world. If you don’t mind, just let them fight. You will be able to check whether the hero or the demon lord is strong. For your information, there has never been a case where the Demon King defeated the Hero.”

Deus spoke emphatically again in front of Alex, who had a blank face.

“Not once.”

“My lord!”

“Who planned it? There’s no way you could have planned something this big. If you lose forty in this fight, your demon race

will be over. Mahon is the crystallization of experience that has continued since the time of Demiurge I. You can never defeat a warrior with just magic powers. Alex, you completely ended the future of the demons. congratulations.”

“My lord! That can’t be true. There is no way I would ruin the future of the demon race, right? No, my lord, aren’t you mistaken? Isn’t Mahon just the previous Demon Lord? “I know that the experience of the Demon King is transmitted through the Demon Spirit, but I heard that the experience can also be transmitted in other ways.”

“From whom?”

Alex, who hesitated, finally opened his mouth.

“The person who planned all of this… is 665 years old.”

“Now you’re crying because you’re a mortal being.”

“It’s true!”

“So you’re saying we’re having a suicide party or something? That being? “What you are trying to do by leading tens of thousands of demons to the ground is suicide?”

Alex kept his mouth shut.

“Open the way.”

“Master, that is impossible.”

“Open the way when you speak good words.”

“I can’t do it. “The person who gave orders to Suzaku is the previous generation.”

“What on earth do you want to do? “You guys!”

“It’s order.”

“law?”

“I want to maintain order in the world as we have for the past 665 centuries.”

“What is that order? “Are you saying this is a never-ending treadmill where the Demon King is defeated by the Hero and then spends 100 years raising the next Demon King to challenge again?”

“We will not lose this time. To that end, didn’t the Demon World come together and raise you?”

Alex took a step closer to Deus.

“Are you running away because you are afraid of defeat? “Do you think you will be defeated by the hero in 20 years?”
