Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 65
———
15. Awakening the king’s dream (4)
The most surprising thing was Yulgeum.
We had already been together for a few days, and Ska Tool’s identity became increasingly vague.
With his senses, which had completely transformed into a human, he could not read Scatul’s true face.
Still, you can’t ask Deus.
For some reason, my pride was hurt.
Of course, even if you asked, Deus wouldn’t be able to answer. Even he doesn’t know who Scatul is.
Yulgeum looked at Scatul and thought that one of the dukes might be hiding his identity.
On the other hand, Deus suspected that Skatul might be Yulgeum’s subordinate, so it was truly a party of warriors who were like bean powder and had no way to come together.
The moment Yulgeum turned his head to ask what to do, he felt a completely different being standing there.
Hatred.
And endless anger.
Yulgeum has already tasted the thread of evil that is like the embodiment of absolute evil.
“Don’t be too angry.”
“This opponent is not worth being angry at. “I’m just trying to show the difference in class.”
Deus walked towards the dragon in front at a slow pace.
“Despair is the only faith you have in me.”
The dragons roared. He revealed his teeth
to condemn the arrogance of small humans
.
Yulgeum sighs at that sight.
“I’m going to go see my one remaining child, April. Please be gentle.”
“The woman who fell back.”
“No matter what I say, I have nothing to say.”
Yulgeum disappeared and Deus was the only one left on the battlefield.
He is an isolated worker.
But it was lighter that way.
The next moment, Deus was no longer there.
The outer garment chased away his remnant, creating a shadow of his black wings.
He turned and kicked the nearest dragon’s chin, trampled its head, leaped up, and hit the second dragon’s forehead with its back.
The two dragons seem to have fainted and are not moving.
It only happened for one second.
The other five began to become agitated.
Psychological pressure was added to a fight that was already at a disadvantage.
The atmosphere on the battlefield became completely one-sided.
“Trivial things. “Did you think you would
have anyone to rely on in this world when you couldn’t even trust your mother ?”
“I’m Okta! “He is the leader of his brothers and will become the king of the dragon clan!”
A huge copper dragon blocked Deus’s path.
The pointed shell was sturdy and the legs were short.
It’s called a dragon, but if I had to pick a resemblance to it, it would be closer to an alligator turtle.
The entire body was covered with hard, copper-colored dead skin cells.
“He is the king of the clan. “It’s… such a trivial dream.”
“It would be easy to laugh at other people’s dreams.
But most of those people are losers.”
The corners of Deus’ mouth twitched.
“Maybe so.”
Before the reverberation of that voice could disappear, Deus’s appearance was out of the dragons’ sight.
When he reappeared, there was a huge hole in the Copper Dragon Octa’s shell.
King of dragons.
His dream faded away.
I couldn’t remain aloof from the leader’s death
.
The reason why Okta was chosen as the king of the group was because he was the strongest.
His combat ability was one of the best among the group. He was proud that his strong armor could not be broken by any metal in the world.
After he died in one blow, the other dragons seemed to come to their senses.
Deus took steps towards the four remaining dragons.
They hesitated and backed away.
“It looks like you’re ready to talk now. The one who answers first will be spared
. Why do you want to establish a kingdom?”
“Don’t you already know? “You cannot form an alliance with a hateful person.”
“I hate humans. Because humans kill dragons?”
“Kill us and make weapons out of our skin, scales and bones. They call it expensive weapons and even buy and sell it to each other.”
“Stop it, Nob. “Don’t talk to him anymore.”
Another dragon joined the conversation. Deus smiled and looked at him.
“I’m struggling to live, so why are you interfering? “If you want to die, die alone.”
Deus then looked back at the four dragons and opened his mouth again.
“It was clearly declared. “Anyone who doesn’t respond properly to what I say will be killed right here.”
A dragon called Nobra spoke to Deus.
“I don’t know what they want from us, but since Okta is already dead, it’s as if the plan has gone to waste. “If you don’t disturb me any more , I will quietly retreat with
my comrades .”
“Are you just going to leave?”
“Yes. Without any conditions…
“Aren’t you misunderstanding something? You are already in my hands. If you want to get out, bow down loudly and beg. Are you going to stiffen your head and step away? Aren’t they misunderstanding their situation? “For now, you are the only one who can survive here.”
Deus created a black hole and absorbed the first two dragons that fainted.
It happened so quickly that the dragons saw their comrades and were taken away.
“Pep and Marche!”
Nob shouted. However, Deus did not respond to his words.
“Then shall we try killing one more guy? Isn’t it nice to hear the sound you make when you crush a bone? Especially when it’s yours.”
Deus disappeared from the dragons’ sight in an instant. Immediately afterwards, the neck of the dragon that was blocking the knob was suddenly broken.
“deck!”
A dragon screamed like a scream.
“As expected, it’s good to hear. Now that you have a little more motivation to answer… Who set this up? “Didn’t you originally say that Gene was your leader?”
The eyes of the three surviving dragons were dark.
No one answered. Even Nob closed his mouth.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Could it be that you never imagined a situation like this?”
“Who are you?”
Deus shrugged his shoulders in response to Nob’s question.
“Why is that important? You want to go to war with humans? War is an endless struggle between life and death. “Aren’t you prepared to die?”
The dragons closed their mouths tightly.
Prepare to die.
Did you really do that?
“What are those faces? So… did you think that if you invaded a weak fairy village and took over the mountain, you would easily establish a kingdom? Fairies who are inferior in strength will try to compromise rather than rebel
. “After taking control of the fairies and inciting the dragons to create an army of tens of thousands, you thought you could easily swallow up the human kingdom, right?”
Deus snorted.
“You guys. “If it were that easy, the human world would already be ruined by the devil.”
“We…
Nob lowered his head.
“What are you doing here…
“Don’t fall for what he says! The author must be of the devil’s clan. “You must establish a kingdom, gather like-minded colleagues, and open a new world for dragons.”
“
The green dragon called Mei Mei took a step closer to Deus.
“Kill it. “I will become the fertilizer of the new world.”
“If you want, I’ll do it for you.” Deus raised his hand.
Then Nob blocked his way.
“I will answer anything you ask. “Don’t hurt your comrades anymore.”
“Nob! Are you going to betray the Four Seasons Association?”
“There are no organizations left to betray.
When Gene disappeared, it was already the end for us. “I forced myself to come here… but will God really allow this?”
“Jin Geum-yong is no more!”
“Would the true God of the world, other than Him, tolerate us?”
“Jenet said he received a revelation from God. And April too.”
“The only ones who received the trust are Gene and Apryl. “What would we be if their stories weren’t true?”
It seemed that Nob had doubts about the Four Seasons Association.
May pointed a finger at him.
“You dare speak of oracles in front of outsiders! betrayer!”
“You can curse at me no matter what. “If I can save you.”
Deus, who was listening to his story, clapped.
“Great. Your sacrificial spirit brings tears to my eyes. “Okay, if you tell me everything, I’ll make sure you don’t kill the three here.”
“Are there any more questions left?”
“Shall we talk about the mycelium that makes dragons go crazy? Who is buying it
? Who first came up with that idea…
Deus stopped talking.
There was no need to do any more.
In the place where Nob’s heart was, the green claws of the dragon called Mei a while ago rose.
“You must not betray the messenger of God.” Meira muttered as if the dragon was reciting a spell.
“Death to traitors.”
Deus burst out laughing.
“Stupid bastard. “You took away the only way to live.”
I lifted my hand up, turned it over, and pressed down.
The ground May was on flipped over and crushed her.
Crack. The sound of bones crunching is heard.
Now there is only one left here.
It was a white dragon with its entire body covered in what looked like bird feathers.
“What is your name?”
“Sept. “I am Baek Ok-yong.”
He sighed long.
“Can’t you just kill me too?”
“I just want to hear an answer.”
“Perhaps you are the demon who killed Jin Geum-yong. No, maybe it’s a messenger from God. “Even God is angry at our wantonness.”
“What did you want to do? “Did you really plan all of this because you hate humans?”
“Humans are destroying the world without any reason. They cut down trees for farming and cause the countless creatures living on them to become extinct. “But I ’ve never heard of
them apologizing to the squirrel living in the trees .”
“Do you mean to judge on behalf of a squirrel?”
“They will be hunting our dragons today as well. “The feathers of our white jade dragon are used as decorations on helmets.”
“Didn’t we sign a non-aggression pact?”
“Who would keep a treaty that is just a piece of paper? It’s okay to kill a dragon that attacks a human first. Isn’t this a mere superficial prohibition that can be done by provoking the dragons to attack? “Dozens of
people die like that every year .”
“Is that what you’re complaining about?”
“Humans must prepare for the fight against the Demon King. Weapons made from the flesh of the dragon race are not optional, but essential. You can lend me the scales, but I can’t give you the bones. What happens to my heart again? I asked who was using the mold? “I think that’s what Jin Geum-yong meant.”
“She?”
“It’s a tribute to humans. In return for a non-aggression pact.”
“He didn’t seem like that type.”
“He is the clan god. You probably don’t see the world through the eyes of an ordinary dragon like me. From the long-term perspective of the prosperity of the clan and the balance of the world, didn’t you decide that this was the only way to maintain peace?”
“So you bought the mycelia from the demons? Jin Geum-yong himself?”
“Maybe someone ordered it. If that were the case, Apryl, who I’m meeting now, would be that person. April is like Jingeum Yong’s daughter. “It is also a financial family that there are not many in the world.”
“…Where is that April now?”
“It’s at the top of this mountain.”
“Thank you for telling me everything. Then, I will save you as promised. “Leave here.”
But it seemed that Sept had no intention of doing so.
His eyes turned blood-red, and red blood flowed from his nostrils and ears.
“Please do not use my feathers as decorations for your hat. “In exchange for my life, please do just that one thing.”
With these words, Sept
sat down on the spot.
Deus quietly watched his death.
And the moment he breathed his last, he summoned the fire of hell and burned him without exception.
All that remained was white ash and the memory of him.
