Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 279

62. The Hero, the Demon King, the Uncle, and the Nephew (4)

“I guess the demon world and the human world have declared a temporary truce.”

Yulgeum said as he put down the document. Deus, who was reading a newspaper in his reserved seat, said as he flipped the pages back and forth.

“There is no such thing in the newspaper? It says that we were victorious and defeated the demons’ Jundong.”

“Because it’s not something worth writing in the newspaper.

Demons are the enemies of humans. “You can’t talk about a truce.”

“I wrote that it is the fastest way to learn the truth in the world. “What is Jose Weekly?”

“The media has always been like that. “The truth is the truth for the media.”

” Press?”

“That’s what you call a newspaper or something.”

“It seems like an old story.”

“That’s also huge.”

Deus put down the newspaper he was flipping through.

“Isn’t there anything more trustworthy than that?”

Yulgeum shook his head at his question.

” doesn’t exist.”

“The continent of Jose crashed.”

“yes.”

“The whole world is in chaos. In this Holy Spin Castle alone, 2,000 people died. “It’s 10% of the people who lived there.”

Abi Gyu-hwan.

Deus, Zeke, Kamael, and Yulgeum.

The four superhumans did their best. Even the dragons all came together as one and

tried to

protect the humans with their magical powers .

However, humans were helpless in the face of the catastrophe.

Just one brick falling and hitting your head can kill you.

He broke his ankle after being crushed by his favorite piece of furniture, and the wound rotted and he died.

He was startled by an earthquake and fell down the stairs while coming out of his house and passed away.

The strong defense of the city where everyone lived turned into a murder trap, swallowing up countless lives. There were

so many dead people that

there wasn’t enough room for graves.

The only ones with busy hands are undertakers.

Now that the grueling month has passed, stability has returned, but God is quiet.

“Wasn’t it God who made Jose Continent float in the air?”

Yulgeum did not answer his question.

Deus asked again.

“It wasn’t?”

“It was done by the archangels according to the oracle.”

“Isn’t an oracle a command from God?”

“that’s right.”

“The continent that was built according to God’s will fell apart. But why didn’t the person involved say anything?”

“How should I know what he thinks? “We just follow.”

“You seem to be less interested than I thought. “Oh my god.”

“Because the universe is large.”

“Are there other humans?”

“That’s a secret.”

“why?”

“Because it’s a secret.”

“Despicably.”

“If there were only this star in the universe

… humans would become too precious. The likelihood that some villain will hold that person hostage increases. On the other hand, if there were humans on other planets, their value would drop drastically. Either we perish or not.”

” is it?”

“So even the angels don’t know.”

“huh?”

“Even the angels don’t know.”

“Is there something you don’t know?”

“First of all, I am not an angel.”

“It’s a full-time job.”

“And angels are not gods. “I just work as God’s representative in this small space that God has set for me.”

“You don’t know the world of God. “You too.” “O”

Hdeus

rested his chin on his elbows on his knees.

“God’s world.”

“curious?”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

“There was someone who was curious about that world before you.”

“You mean Nezar?”

“huh. You’re making Nezar your slave again. “You also made a very bold decision.”

“Are you bold? You were originally my slave. “That bastard.”

“Is it really controllable? “You’ve already been stabbed once in the back.”

“it will work out somehow. “If it attacks you again, just kill it again.”

Yulgeum sighed briefly and said this.

“Are you really going to take me with you?”

“Where?”

“Have you already forgotten?”

“What did I promise?”

“it’s okay. Rather, what are you going to do now?”

Deus crossed his arms and looked ahead.

Zeke, who had been preparing ingredients at a table a little away, was coming home from work.

“Yulgeum.”

“why?”

“What do you want to do? Once all the dragons are armed, there will be no reason to be afraid. Order and harmony? Jose Continent is no longer a utopia. We will begin our struggle for survival with the mugwort monsters, and

we have now reached the border with the demons. Once the demons adapt to this sunlight, they will become much stronger than they are now. “Because he survived even in a rock cave.”

“Other races are none of my business.”

“It’s about humans. If things continue like this, we will become extinct. “Humans today are too weak.”

There was technology in the golden age. During the Silver Age, magic flourished among humans.

But now humanity has lost technology and magic has declined.

To prevent destruction, they castrated growth and in return gave them a utopia called the continent of Jose

.

“Paradise Lost…is it.”

“If we delay, the angels will have to intervene again on a large scale. “Isn’t that the way God likes it?”

“I am Jingeumyong Yulgeum. “Until there is word from God, we have no choice but to continue like this.”

“Well, that’s the most like you.” Deus

leaned his back against the low back of the chair.

A short break.

How long this rest will last

depends entirely on Nezar.

Deus’ team went hunting for the first time in a long time.

The incident began when a large herd of herbivores was discovered in the southeastern part of the Erion Federation.

They were mugwort monsters.

Originally, it was a characteristic of herbivores to move in large groups.

One option would have been to let it pass as long as it didn’t cause any particular harm, but…

it wasn’t good for the other person.

“You mean a contaminated mammoth?”

I sat on the roof of the carriage and saw the monsters gathered at the bottom of the hill.

The number of individuals is about 1,000.

What went beyond common sense was not the number, but the size.

It was 10 meters tall and the length from the tip of its nose to its tail was well over 20 meters.

The largest one has twice-bent ivory that is about 7 meters long. Just swinging it was enough to tear the full plate mail apart.

It would have been nice if they could just pass by, but the lake in the center of the Erion Federation caused trouble

.

Laguna Lake somehow became larger in area than before the cataclysm.

A huge wetland was created and a huge amount of grass began to grow around it.

I didn’t know much, but the climate of the Jose continent was mild because it was an alpine region, and the lower part was closer to the tropics.

Grass grass and grass.

Huge amounts of jungle have grown up here and there, and wetlands have grown closer to jungles.

There was no way the mammoths would just pass by that green space.

It seemed as if it had settled down and did not leave the Dorf region, the capital of the Erion Federation, eating grass for several days.

It would be nice if he had a calm personality. If you make a noise nearby, a male mammoth will come running and swat it away with its horns.

Even if the knights attacked, they could not kill him.

The Erion Federation went so far as to place a bounty on these troublesome monsters.

“The big one is 5 gold. The little guy is worth 3 gold, right? “Then how much is it all?”

Yulgeum, who was sitting next to me, said something.

“Don’t view nature too much as money. “Because it’s vulgar.”

“If nature had not been viewed as money, mankind would have always stayed inside the walls and never come out.”

“In essence, it’s polite to pretend otherwise.”

“I’m sorry for being rude.”

I literally turned off my power for this hunt.

Zeke and Signy, as well as Lake, Sadimus’ butler Skatul, the two main knights Jushak and Actor, and Zeke’s Chu squire Katrun.

It felt like a refreshing picnic.

The atmosphere was even more exciting because Zeke had even packed a lunch box for the small dinner.

Zeke left the place, saying he was going to ride a horse and look around.

His words were the flames of hell. Although it looked like a horse on the outside, it was a true monster that could run 2,000 kilometers a day.

“Is your date going well?”

Deus laughed at Yulgeum’s question.

“Zeke and Lakhe?”

“huh. “We went horseback riding together.”

“It’s unrequited love.”

“Lake’s?”

“Then will you do it? In my opinion, that kid has no romantic feelings at all. “Because I started working too early when I was young.”

“Well, if you look at your professional experience alone, it’s already been 20 years?”

“It’s time to think about retirement. “Social age.”

As the two people talked back and forth, they saw Zeke and Lakhe in the distance.

“Looking at it like that, the difference is truly incredible

.”

Two people on horseback passed by a mammoth, but it appeared as nothing more than a dot.

His height reached the mammoth’s knees.

“You said that the mugwort monsters grew bigger because of the poison, right? But now they say there is almost no poison. “Is it going to decrease now?”

“To some extent, this is because artificial genes were mixed in. It was popular during the Gilded Age. Paleontological zoos.”

“Palaeo? “So is that also a paleontological species?”

“huh. “It became extinct before the Age of Gold.”

“Did it exist before the Age of Gold?”

“Just call it prehistoric times. “The Golden Age traces its origins to the beginning of the Egyptian civilization, the oldest civilization.”

“I guess that means it was before historical times.”

“that’s right. “At that time, humanity had a civilization comparable to that of the giants who lived in the mountains not long ago.”

“And we have reached the realm of God in only 70 centuries? “What on earth does it mean to be human?”

Yulgeum closed his mouth in response to Deus’ question.

Deus also didn’t ask any more questions.

Is it a secret or is it simply difficult to answer… or is it something we don’t know?

There are some things that are better left unnoticed.

Zeke put Lake on Enma’s back and they ran together across the wide plains.

What took her away was the plant species that had begun to change rapidly.

“This isn’t far from where I used to live

.”

Zeke paused for a moment at Lake’s words.

I looked into the distance beneath the polluted mammoth’s huge feet.

“You mean Mr. Lakhe’s hometown?”

“huh. Northeast of the Demon World. “It is a place where the sun was very strong.”

“Is your family there?”

“no no. I’m alone. Mandala Ke is not that common. “Our hometown is Prague.”

“Prague?”

“A city where alchemy was once popular. And

1,000 years later, alchemy was rediscovered, and things like homunculus and mandarake were born.”

“It looks like it was made by humans during the Golden Age.”

“that’s right. “After that, humanity perished and we remained in the seed vault on Everest.”

“Everest is the old name of the demon world, right?”

“It is also part of the Jose continent. Anyway, when we got out of there we were scattered. “It spent tens of thousands of years as a seed before sprouting.”

“Mr. Lakhe is truly mysterious.”

“Don’t look at me that way. “Because it’s awkward.”

“is that so?”

Zeke smiled and rode the horse again.

Lakhe said.

“The continent of Joseon did not have a very thick crust. The top was a colorful terrain, but the bottom was a flat circular plate. The altitude here is less than 1,000 meters above sea level… and the latitude is around 25 degrees north. “It’s a pretty hot area.”

“That means the plants growing

will change significantly, right?” “ O ”

O.

“It’s a big deal.”

“why?”

“There won’t be a lot of ingredients you don’t know much about. “Familiar things are disappearing. I’m already worried about what to cook.”

Lakhe burst out laughing at Zeke’s answer.

“Are you just worried about cooking?”

“It’s not just winter.”

“It’s like Zeke.”

At that time, a mammoth with long tusks

kept watching Zeke and suddenly started attacking him.

It seems that the people hovering nearby were annoying.

Zeke pulled out his sword.

The demon sword Asmodeus roared and spewed out a black aura.

Asmodeus was becoming stronger by drinking Zeke’s blood.

Now it has grown to the point where it emits its own aura.

As it was a magic sword, it had unparalleled evil power, but it did not escape Zeke’s control.

Zeke handed the reins to Lake and jumped off the horse’s back.

Although it was a huge mammoth, it was no match for Zeke.

It dodged the ivory’s attack and jumped up on its nose.

He rode his shaking nose to the point between his eyes and moved his sword for the first time.

Whatever it is, it cannot stop Asmodeus wielded by Zeke.

The brain bone was severed and the mammoth fell like a giant tree.
