Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 75

18. Struggle (1)

Zeke turned over the egg with a bitter smile. It seems the fire was a little strong. A brown pattern appeared on the egg.

I slightly lifted the egg that was folded into a square and added egg water to the bottom.

After rolling it one more time, the volume of the egg roll increased.

Only then did Zeke open his mouth.

“It doesn’t matter. Even if I’m hated.”

“Isn’t it strange? Even though they are the same warrior, some are praised by the Lord of Joryx Castle as the warriors who defeated Erwig, while others are ignored as if they had never even intervened in the fight.”

“Because it’s true. Canadin received a formal request and defeated the monster with the knights of the territory.”

“It wouldn’t have been possible without Zeke.”

“That’s just an assumption. Besides, Kaden Cha was also nearby. Even if I hadn’t stepped forward, Mr. Cadenza would have helped.”

“That’s true.”

Zeke added the egg mixture again. After pushing it to the corner and shaping it, it is now thicker than the palm of my hand.

“It’s like magic.”

“yes?”

“A dish called egg roll. If you think about it, you’ve never seen the kitchen before… All dishes are made through this mysterious process, right?”

“That’s right. The chef at the restaurant I worked at before was good at using a round frying pan called a wok. “How can it be so delicious with just a few

sauces and stir-fried noodles!”

Skathul said with a smile.

“The same goes for swordsmanship. “By combining just a few movements, we create the most accurate herbivore for the situation.”

“ah! “The basic movement for that is herbivorous.”

“That’s right.”

Cadenza smiled at Scatul’s words as he organized the ingredients.

“But no matter how good your swordsmanship is, or rather, the more skilled you are, the more you need a position appropriate to it. Should I say Bae Kyung?

“A person who is strong without power will never be able to survive even if a sharp stone is hit.”

Zeke had never thought about anything like this.

This is because he thought that life as a contract warrior from a family of contract warriors was his destiny.

“The stronger you become and the more accomplishments you accumulate, Mr. Zeke, the more people will attack you politically. From their perspective, they can only be satisfied if Mr. Zeke is the underdog and forever below them.”

“It’s too dark.”

Zeke smiled bitterly.

“It would be nice if I could believe in the theory of gonads, but I have never experienced it.”

“I saw it.”

“You mean Mr. Deus?”

“yes.”

“What about••••••

Cadenza trailed off.

The most suspicious person was the man named Deus.

He seemed to be a wizard or magic swordsman and was too strong. Even if he was a D-class hero,

it seemed impossible to say he was stronger than him.

It was strange that such a talented person suddenly appeared.

Looking at Zeke’s smile, Cadenza found a clue to the difficult problem in front of him.

Humans cannot be good.

There is no way that Deus would support Zeke in good faith.

It seemed like even Zeke would change his mind if I revealed his identity.

I put the finished egg roll into my mouth.

“oh! “It’s really delicious.”

I smiled feeling better and quenched my thirst with a drink.

Without even knowing the weight of what he was about to do.

“Dear… you’re alive. “No way, even a glutton!”

Kyouko Alex and Gluttonous Daroche.

Two of the Seven Dukes of the Demon World found a man.

His name was Ifrit the Flame and the King of Jin.

Ifrit’s body was made of rock.

The joints made of flames still gave off blazing heat.

“What happened? “They even held a funeral for him when he died.”

Alex said with a wry smile.

“Now it’s time to hold your funeral.”

“What are you kidding me about?”

“I hope it’s a joke.”

Alex took out a fist-sized gem from his pocket.

A dark flame was burning inside the red jewel.

“No way…

“No way. A 665-year-old soul.”

Crimson darkness.

This reddest and darkest jewel is the heart of the devil.

When a demon lord dies, his soul becomes a gem and is stored in the demon lord’s hall.

And when the next demon king enters the fray, he swallows the jewel and absorbs its power.

It was the devil’s destiny to give up even his soul for the sake of future generations.

“You mean he started moving?”

“How painful is this? Even after death, I cannot rest…

“Does that mean you have given up on living 666 years?”

Alex let out a long sigh.

“My lord… I don’t know how you feel. “If he truly intends to quit being the Demon King, he should retrieve only the Demon Spirit he possesses and pass it on to the next Demon King.”

“It hasn’t even been a year yet. Isn’t it a bit early?”

“It’s not my decision. I am your supporter. Why wouldn’t I want him to return to his position as a mazon? However , isn’t it the position of our Seven Dukes that we have no choice but to carry out

the orders given by the previous Demon King ?”

Ifrit the Crater turned his eyes and looked at Daro Shu…

“So it was the 665-year-old’s order for you to pretend to be dead?”

Daroche muttered his crocodile-like triangular snout and opened his mouth.

“That’s right. I have been using hardliner dragons to drive a wedge between humans and dragons for a long time. Then… not long ago, a trap was dug under the orders of the 665-year-old.”

“A trap?”

“It’s no big deal. “I brought Jin Geum-yong in and had her provoke my current lord.”

Alex took his word.

“The purpose was to give Daroche a reason to die.”

“Why… Ah! “It looks like he’s trying to hide himself and do something!”

Daroche nodded.

“exactly. This task requires more than half of the strength of the seven operations. “You are the key among them.”

“I am the key. “What on earth

are you planning?”

Daroche turned his attention to the huge volcano beyond the window of Ifrit’s room.

“I will differentiate Io into the continent of Jose.”

“If you do that, you will be destroyed! Both the human world and our demon world…

“On the contrary, if we continue like this, only our side will be destroyed. How will the unprepared army of the Demon World, led by the Demon King, withstand the human warriors? “Even if we had to start from the primitive era again, we couldn’t suffer an embarrassing defeat from humans.”

Ifrit sighed briefly at Daroche’s stiff expression.

“I guess that’s the order of the 665-year-old.” Alex nodded heavily.

“Now the work is out of our hands. “The only choice is to follow orders or rebel.”

“I have never imagined the Demon King giving up his soul and refusing an order.”

Ifrit said this and looked into the crimson darkness again.

After leaving the place of Mazon, the soul gem was no longer alive

.

This is because Daroche and Alex betraying the 666-year-old and following the 665-year-old’s orders is a will that can never be broken.

Ifrit said while looking at the two Demon Dukes.

“What can I do?”

“Aren’t you the master of this great volcano Io? The plan is simple. So…

Alex and Duke Darroche began explaining the strategy in a low voice to Lee Frit.

“It’s really free.”

These are the words Deus blurted out from the large carriage responsible for transportation between cities.

It was natural for Yulgeum to be angry.

“You stayed because you asked for help.”

“If I was really busy, I would have declined.”

“That’s why you don’t have any friends. “Your only friend Alex also ran away.”

“What kind of friend is he? “I’m just a nanny.”

Deus immediately opened his mouth again.

“Don’t misunderstand, even though I’m a nanny, it doesn’t mean I breastfeed or anything.”

“What a straight face? Of course she won’t suckle. I’ve never heard of the devil being a mammal. It’s just like a guardianship. “The seven dukes each take charge of several of the Demon King’s children and raise them, and one of them becomes the next Demon King.”

Even when there were a lot of people around, they casually talked about being the devil.

It was thanks to the power of magic. Now other

people were hearing a completely different story.

“That story was a bit shocking. “The kids I studied with when I was young were actually my brothers.”

“You didn’t know?”

“of course. “I killed seven of them myself.”

“Oh, is that kind of study?”

“Then you thought you would learn things like philosophy and ethics?”

“Is it obvious?”

“Because slaughter and destruction are my specialty.”

“You’re holding up well here.”

“Because I decided to live a normal life.”

“I don’t think it’s normal. It has already been captured by Seonghwangcheong and even fairies are coming to visit. The same goes for dealing with short charlatans…

“That falls within the category of normal. It’s not like we’re planning to take over a country and conquer the world. Moreover, the person Seonghwangcheong took pictures of was not me, but Zeke. “I raised him because he was a subcontractor, but he turned out to be an outrageous child.”

“That’s right. Because I was a bit surprised too. “Pure blood is over 10%.”

“If I train and fully equip my weapon, will I become strong enough to be the final hero?”

“The 4th generation warriors have limitations compared to the zero generation, but since their pureblood level exceeds 10%, they may be able to produce similar power.”

“Is that so too?”

“why?”

“no.”

“You want to fight?”

Deus was annoyed and looked at Yulgeum again.

“After living for ten million years, I guess I’ve only become more perceptive.”

“Why did it increase? No, don’t talk about age. Anyway, it would be too much for Zeke’s skills. “Because the last one standing needs God’s blessing.”

“God bless you? Really God?”

“It’s probably like an angel’s protection.”

“An angel…

At that time, Deus looked outside the carriage.

“What is that again?”

The roads that horse-drawn carriages travel on are generally very safe.

Because the road is so big,

there are quite a few carriages coming and going.

Nevertheless, there were times when major accidents occurred.

If the force was strong enough to attack a group of carriages on a busy road, it was definitely not an ordinary magic bandit.

Just like them.

About 20 bandits riding on a dozen horses surrounded the carriage.

What they were holding in their hands was a crossbow that fired fireballs made by magic.

Fireball bullets

were terrifying weapons that could destroy a carriage without a trace.

The coachman didn’t even dare to think of resisting.

He immediately surrendered and ordered the driver to stop the carriage.

Several of the bandits approached the entrance of the carriage and opened the door.

“Come out, guests. This carriage has just changed its course to hell. Kekeket!”

The magician who opened the door sticks out his tongue and laughs disgustingly.

Everyone in the carriage was so frightened that their faces turned blue.

Yulgeum winked and asked softly.

“What are you going to do?”

“I have to take a look. “It’s fun.”

“I knew you would answer that way.”

About 20 passengers, including Deus and Yulgeum, got off the carriage.

The number of magic bandits surrounding the area increased to nearly 50 during that time.

From horses to fireball crossbows. The level was completely different from that of an ordinary band of thieves.

A man walked out from the crowd and glared at the passengers.

He was tall and had a strong body type with strong forearms.
