Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 64

——–

15. Awakening the king’s dream (3)

His physical abilities were above average as he was the descendant of a warrior.

Both his running and jumping abilities exceeded those of ordinary humans. Enough to react to dragon attacks.

What determines victory or defeat in a superhuman battle is a psychological aspect called courage.

If you are nervous, your body becomes stiff and you cannot perform at your best with a stiff body.

Especially when dealing with huge monsters such as dragons or giants.

Zeke was at least D-level in terms of courage.

Watching him fight, Deus unconsciously felt his blood boiling.

What if it attacked you instead of the dragon?

If someone were to come at you with that sharp sword and strong shield in hand, would you be able to easily chase them away?

So far, all 665 generations of demon kings have been defeated by warriors.

Most life-threatening battles ended with both sides dying, and even if they survived, they were not good enough to continue the war.

The fight between the devil and humanity.

Why do these pointless wars never end?

The being called the Demon King, who cannot overwhelm insignificant humans, is nonetheless powerful.

So what does it mean to be a human who defeats the devil?

Are humans really strong?

Looking at Zeke, Deus

was able to get a glimpse of the true power of humans.

Although his physical ability is not even a hundredth of that,…

he is unbreakable.

Even if the dragon attacks you, you won’t give up.

That’s how a warrior fights.

If he fights Zeke… what will happen?

In the end, the red dragon’s body broke.

The head at the end of the long neck sank to the floor as if it were heavy.

The red dragon flapped its wings wide

and tried to fly away. It was then that Deus stepped forward.

He soared into the sky and kicked the dragon’s head.

The red dragon fainted from the impact and fell to the floor.

Zeke panted and leaned against his sword.

Yulgeum made a silent protest – cursing with his finger – towards Deus and chanted a spell to restore Zeke.

Scatul, like a butler, began to settle the fight.

Deus said something to him.

“If there are scales that have fallen around, don’t take them off. Take them away.”

“I understand, master.”

“Then let’s take a look at this guy first.”

He reached out his hand and lifted the dragon.

It was a demon-specific ability called Demon Spirit.

Just as spirits deal with the elements, demons deal with the demonic energy that spreads throughout the world.

If you look at it, Magi was the ultimate power that a warrior could obtain—the ability that lies at the opposite point of Aura.

An evil mind affects external things

and exerts supernatural powers.

The dragon’s huge body rose into the air and twisted.

The monster, which was not suitable for moaning because it could not bear the pain, screamed.

“It’s bad to talk about it, so why don’t you change to human form first? Or get crushed like this.”

[You… You….]

“I’ll give you five, so you decide. five.”

The red dragon immediately memorized the magic of transformation.

Metaphoresis is a fairly complicated magic.

Until the caster reveals his or her identity, it is difficult to detect his/her true appearance.

The red dragon that took human form was a man with red hair.

The first thing I noticed was that blood was flowing down my shins more than anywhere else.

” name is?”

“Jen.”

“It’s January.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, you have nothing to know. But why is the dragon installed in the fairy land?”

The red dragon named Zen looked back at the three people, Zeke and Yulgeum Skatul, before answering Deus’ words.

It seemed like a huge shock to be defeated by a group of only four humans and fairies at most.

“We will establish a kingdom.”

“Nine people?”

“Once we lay the foundation, we will be able to bring here colleagues who agree with our cause.”

“Those who think they are hardliners?”

“…How do you know what we do

?”

“If you’re like me, there’s nothing you don’t know.

”

Deus asked again, talking smugly.

“Is this guy called Okta going to become king?”

“Yes. “Because he is the strongest among us.”

“Anyway… So what do you want to do? Are you trying to imitate a human?”

“no. Quite the contrary. We will rule over the fairies and wage war against the human kingdom.”

“Oh conquer the world. “That’s a really nice dream.”

“Don’t laugh at me.”

“I hope you don’t laugh at the idea of world domination. “How insensitive should I be?”

“We are working hard to achieve our family’s aspirations.”

“I understand that dragons have made peace with humans.”

“That peace is now over. “The era of Jin Geum-yong has come to an end, so this agreement is no longer valid.”

“Do you mean all dragons think that way

?”

“It will happen soon.”

“Huh..”

Deus crossed his arms and looked back at Yulgeum.

Yulgeum was listening to his story with an expressionless face.

Deus, who suddenly remembered something at that sight, quickly approached the red dragon Zen.

“Let me look at your armpits.”

“What kind of joke is this?”

“You wouldn’t know. “About the fungus that used you as its host.”

Jen’s expression changed surprisingly.

“How…

“They even say it’s from the demon world? “I heard that I secretly get it from thieves and take the poison out.”

“Who are you?”

“me? Deus. Hero Zeke’s companion. For reference, my occupation is a merchant. “Is your specialty strong?”

“How do you know what we do? It’s you! “I heard there’s a guy who’s been killing comrades recently.”

“So give up. Because you’re going to die too.”

“gibberish!”

“It’s better to give up the dream of running away. “Those three were so annoying that they got cut into several pieces.”

Cold sweat broke out on Jen’s forehead.

“

Then he suddenly looked straight at Deus with a serious face.

“Are you perhaps an angel?”

” huh?”

“God… is God trying to stop us? However, we have never violated God’s will… This

was the moment he said these words.

Yulgeum said to Deus.

“Isn’t there too much snow? “Why don’t you just lock it up?”

“Oh, is that so?”

Deus also thought that he was rambling and was worried that he might say something, so he stretched out his hand and summoned a black hole.

Every sucking black hole was connected to every spitting white hole.

At the other end, White Hall was installed in a prison built in a secret place in the demon world.

It was a fairly safe transport device,

and except for cases where severe resistance was severed by cutting off the extremities of the body, most people were safely sent to prison.

Jen was also sucked into it and disappeared without a trace.

“It’s an ancient magic wormhole. “I didn’t expect the master to even know such magic.”

Skatul bowed his head in respect.

“What are you going to catch? “Anyway, it looks like the dragons were really planning to establish a kingdom.”

Zeke said, shaking his head.

“Why are they suddenly doing such a thing?”

“well. “I guess the king was jealous.”

Scatul sighed.

“Why, in the land of fairies… Was it because they were trying to use our species in a war against humans?”

“Maybe so? Whether it was soldiers or slaves, various things would be needed to maintain the kingdom. At the very least, I could be used as a mine worker.”

“Why have the dragons suddenly become warmongers? Jin Geum-yong, who rules over them,

is… Deus cut him off.

“What do you know about the reason? “Right now, we can sort it out by just killing 9 of them, right?”

“yes. “I already solved one of them.”

“You are solving a major incident that almost threw the home world into chaos. It’s too cheap to trade for one mine. “I suffered a complete loss.”

Deus said this and kicked Zeke, who was sitting spread out on one side, with his foot.

“Break over. “Let’s go kill the next dragon.”

“yes? Again?”

“What have you heard so far? “We need to catch 8 more.”

“That’s not all we have to do today.”

“Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today. It’s a proverb like gold. “You troublemaker, please fix it so you can use it.”

“Why am I a troublemaker?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know?”

Yulgeum could not continue speaking because there were so many things to point out.

If you think about it, this whole thing the dragons were doing had something to do with him.

“Shall we bet on how many people will come?”

It looks like he got tired of climbing the mountain again. Yulgeum responded immediately to what Deus said.

“three.”

“What is the basis?”

“Dragons have always been like that. If one doesn’t work, three. “If three is hard, then eight.”

“So there are twelve?”

“what?”

“That’s them.”

“The number twelve has many meanings. The number of archangels is twelve and there are twelve months in a year.”

“Okay, the troublemaker bet three and one gold coin. Zeke, how many people are you betting on?”

“Me too, three…

“Dang. “The three seats are already taken.”

“Then… five people.”

“One gold coin for five.”

“Eek! “I don’t have that kind of money.”

“are you okay. “I’ll pay you back slowly.”

“…Should I just not participate?”

“no. Next is the butler.”

“Then I’ll make it the middle one, four.”

“You also have a gold coin.”

“Master, how many people do you want to bet on will come?”

” seven.”

“Why?”

“There is a jinx where you win money if you bet on 7.”

After climbing over a hill and jumping over a narrow cliff separated by a waterfall, we arrived

at a wide plateau with the summit of Mount Agaiatta just in front of us.

From wild grass to unknown flowers. It was a rather charming place with small plants growing in groups.

Except for dragons.

“Everyone owes one gold.”

Deus looked at the sky and opened his mouth.

A total of seven dragons were circling the sky.

From those with long necks and long tails to fairy dragon types with armpits and wings.

Colorful dragons glided down and surrounded the party in an instant.

The large wind blowing up a whirlwind of dust forced Zeke to cover his face with his forearm and open his eyes to look at his opponent.

“Then Zeke! “It’s dispatch.”

“Hey Deus.”

“why’?”

“No matter what, seven is too much. “I’m torn.”

“Is that really the case?”

“yes.”

“Then you can’t do it. “Let’s run away.”

“…Are you running away?”

“You said you can’t fight?”

“But didn’t you come here because there was a way? Deus knew that dragons were gathered here.”

“Then either fight.”

“No, that’s impossible.”

“That’s a lot to say.”

Deus snorted and slightly turned his head back.

“butler.”

“Yes, master.”

“Take Zeke and run away.”

“Because I know I can do it.”

“All right. Even if it were there, it would only be a hindrance to us.”

Butler Scatul slightly turned his eyes to look at Yulgeum.

But in the end, he didn’t say anything about her.

Suddenly, Scatul’s figure disappeared from everyone’s sight. Immediately after that, he appeared right next to Zeke.

With the warrior at his side, he disappeared again. Even the dragons were unable to chase Skatul.
