Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 38

——

9. Finding the traitor (3)

“Where did this come from?”

“I can not say!”

“I wonder how far that attitude will continue. “Can you still be so arrogant after the flames burn all your clothes?”

Following Deus’s gaze, the flame that had burned the stockings spread to his clothes.

From the sides to the navel and back to the shoulders.

He subtly tormented her as if the most secret place was food for later.

The pain of the flames and the shame mixed together made Gene’s mind go blank.

“More, you dirty devil…

His speech became blurred.

“Praise me more.”

Deus remained calm until the end.

“I don’t say anything.”

“I see. I really like it when the other person is in pain. “Especially because subduing a proud dragon like you is an experience you won’t get to experience many times in your life.”

Following Deus’ gesture, tree vines grew. It smoothly wrapped around the inside of her arms and legs and tightened even further.

Her deep thighs were wrapped in vines, and the exposed parts were swollen as if they were about to burst. Bright red marks remained on his forearms, creating a clear contrast with his white skin.

Gene struggled in pain. I desperately opened my eyes and tried to shoot Deus, but I quickly gave up due to the pain.

“Stop…”…

“I guess you feel like saying something.”

“Kill it. “In the name of the noble dragon race, I will not answer.”

“huh? It’s only been 10 minutes and you’re already killing me? There’s no way you would do something like that. I’ll play with it a little more and then throw it into purgatory. That place is full of monsters with many desires. From demons who are interested in your outside appearance to insectivores who like your insides. Look forward. “After completing the demon world tour course, not a single bone will be left behind.”

Just listening to the story was so terrifying that Gene trembled. I tried to act calm

, but it was hard to stop the tears.

Where else in her life has she ever suffered such humiliation?

“Oh, there is another way.”

Suddenly the tree vines that were binding her disappeared.

Jaune slumped down on the spot.

He immediately summoned his magic power to run away, but it seemed as if everything had been taken away, and there was not a single drop of magic power left in his body.

Recovery from the wound was also slow. It felt like I had become a real human, not

a dragon .

The red, swollen skin that had barely been wrapped around the tree vines was painful.

Deus snapped his fingers.

Gene was startled when he felt something wrapped around his neck and stretched out his hand. Something that looked like a leather strap tightened around my neck.

The leather strap around the neck was connected to a long chain.

The one holding the other end is Deus.

It was a chain that looked like a walking rope for a vicious dog.

“I will make you crawl on the main street of the largest city. “I think burning clothes with a flame would be much more effective.”

Deus smiles at her.

“Isn’t it a good idea?”

“That me…

“If you drag it around for a day, two days, ten days, twenty days, one hundred and one thousand days, you might remember it one day, right? What’s in this bottle? “Who made

it?”

“What on earth do you want from me?”

Gene’s voice softened slightly.

The end of his voice trembled with anger of submission, but he could not burst out in anger like before.

He seemed to have accepted that he was not an opponent he could beat by shouting loudly.

The opponent was the demon who killed Jin Geum-yong. There is such a strong demon in the world….

“You! No way, Demiur…

“Shh.”

“why!”

“Shhh. What I want to hear is not my name. Because I know that better than you. So which castle should we go to first? “Poms is the closest.”

Deus pulled the rope around Gene’s neck.

“It will be a good spectacle.”

A dress that was torn in several places and a string hanging around her neck.

Entering a castle full of humans in this condition! I felt like I was going to faint just thinking about it.

But there was no way I could hope for mercy from the other person just because I fainted.

Rather, it felt like he was dragging his fainted self into even more misery.

“wait!”

“Where did Joo Joo go?”

“Please give me a note.”

“Yeah, okay, I’ll wait a moment. Talk for five cells. “Where did the mold in this bottle come from?”

Deus spread his palms out.

” five.”

” that.

“Four.”

“Just a moment to talk!”

“three.”

“I bought it!”

“Fire”

“To the charcoal people! “I got it from a short charcoal shop.”

” one.”

“It’s true!”

With her cry, Deus’s last finger was about to fold. But it didn’t stop until the end.

“Then second question.”

“stop it. “Please stop bothering me.”

“I will decide that. As I said before,

I really enjoy seeing the person in front of me suffer. If you want to blame, blame God for making me like this. “Why did he turn the devil into a sadist?”

“You’re too much. “We dragon people will not forgive you.”

“What do you think? I just saw it. That you do something to a newborn baby dragon. Even if other dragons find out what it is, will they take your side?”

Jaune’s expression became frozen. I lowered my head and tried to open my mouth several times

.

But it seemed like he couldn’t find anything to say.

“You’d rather kill me.”

“I won’t kill you.”

“Do whatever you want. “If there is even a small gap, you will die.”

“Ugh, do whatever you want. Because there are many ways to revive it. “Some of those living in purgatory Hille have already died.”

Gene trembled again.

“The moment I was caught by you… I guess I had no choice.”

“Ask again. What is this?”

“Don’t you already know?”

“I want to hear you speak from your mouth.”

“It’s mycelium.”

“Of what?”

“It is the disease causing mania.”

“To release a rampaging dragon into the human world?”

As Gene nodded, the iron chain around his neck rattled.

“If humans kill the dragon, we will use it as a starting point for war, right?”

“You know everything…

why did you do this to me?”

“Shall I tell you again? “What I like.”

“Cruel…

“Is it cruel to just tie up your body and unleash the scabies of fire on your skin? It seems to me that you are doing worse by poisoning newborn dragons and plotting them to be killed by humans. is not it? Yulgeum?”

Gene, who was listening to Deus’s words, widened his eyes.

What she was seeing now was not Deus. The direction of his gaze

was fixed over his shoulder, not knowing how to return.

The woman walking out from behind the rock was none other than Jingeumyong and Yulgeum.

“why! Why did Jin Geum-yong and the Demon King…

“Why did you come out? “I wanted to play with it a little more.”

In response to Deus’ question, Yulgeum smiled bitterly and slowly approached Gene.

“June, I understand your sorrow from the depths of my heart.”

“Jin Geum-yong…

“You lost both your beloved husband and child to humans. “My entire family, whom I love so deeply and have sworn to spend eternity with.”

Gene’s expression distorted.

“Why are you talking like that!”

“I didn’t stop you from saying that you can’t be at peace with humans. Even when larger groups came to petition me, I listened in silence.”

“Just listening… is not enough.”

“I think enough is enough.”

“Jin Geum-yong. Our great God! Why did they suddenly make a treaty with humans? They are greedy. Even now, they are openly targeting our bodies. They make shields out of scales and blades out of bones, which they proudly hold. To them, our dragons are just materials for weapons and a source of magical power. Diplomacy on an equal footing with them. “It’s no different from joining hands with the devil.”

At the end of his words, Gene turned his head and looked at Deus.

“No, you really joined hands with the devil

!”

Deus took a step back and shrugged his shoulders.

Yulgeum sighed for a long time.

“Speak. “Why did you join hands with Daroche?”

“It’s Darroche. “Aren’t you Jin Geum-yong who joined hands with the devil?”

“I can’t explain the situation to you. “I plan to condemn you for harming your own people by obtaining the medicine of the Seven Dukes of Demon World.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Even though there is evidence here…

Yulgeum pointed to the mycelium bottle in Deus’s hands.

Deus hurriedly cut her off. Yulgeum still didn’t seem to know that the bottle was different from Daroche’s.

“If you don’t confess, you can strip me naked and run around the castle. I decided to end it at that point…

“Don’t meddle in my business.”

“It’s a task you entrusted to me, right? “If the client steps forward too much, it will ruin what is going well.”

“The work entrusted to you ends here. “From now on, it’s my job.”

“No, no, that’s not something you can decide on your own. Now, let’s lock this woman in here for now and decide how to deal with it later.”

Deus stretched out his hand and summoned a small circle. It was a mini black hole.

Gene’s body was instantly sucked into it. The last gangsters were so violent that one of their arms fell off, but they were able to trap Genet cleanly.

Yulgeum, who had been silent, opened his mouth in front of a young dragon who had not yet woken up from a sapphire dream.

“What are you planning?”

“It’s a thank you, right?”

“No, you’re angry.”

“They say anger obscures your vision!”

“Don’t gloss over it with fancy words.”

Instead of speaking, Deus held out a bottle containing mycelium.

Yulgeum looked closely at the bottle he gave her.

As Deus said, the anger that was blocking my vision subsided and

I had time to look at the hyphae inside.

“The seal of Darochu…

“is not there.”

“So you’re saying the being who created this wasn’t Daroche?”

Deus shrugged his shoulders.

“I don’t know that. “He was a guy who had a bad hobby of putting his signature on all the poisons and germs he made… but we can’t deny the possibility that he may have made at least one thing that wasn’t put on.”

“Then who on earth did this…

“Should I start by saying thank you?”

” ah!”

Yulgeum looked at Deus and bowed his head.

“Thank you for not letting my child be embarrassed. Are you done now?”

“Okay then. “If they try to spread their connection with Daroche using mycelium that doesn’t belong to them, they will be embarrassed.”

“Then who on earth made this?”

“You came out when I was trying to find out. Anyway, I can’t even read the atmosphere. “You don’t have any friends, do you?”

Yulgeum bowed his head in response to Deus’ counterattack.

“I have nothing to say.”

“Well, we’ll figure it out later. “If you touch the beehive, won’t the bees jump out?”

“Is it a beehive?”

Yulgeum looked down at the young dragon, who was immersed in a sapphire dream, and stroked the child’s forehead.

May the nightmare turn into a good dream again.

It burned the fungal hyphae that had not yet penetrated into the body. I wasn’t

sure if the mold would come back, but

this was the best I could do for now.

“Hey. “Couldn’t we have been mistaken from the first step?”

“What are you talking about?”

“You mean Daroche? Are you sure he’s dead?”
