Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 143

32. Farewell to an era (6)

Cadenza clenched his fists.

His fists were shaking.

The Asuka Loan project, which he had planned for a long time, was only a few steps away from starting.

The first button has already been successfully sewn.

Defeated the Demon King. Although it doesn’t seem like he was able to completely kill him, it was proven that Zeke could defeat the Demon King.

If the Zero Generation warriors are born as scheduled, mankind will obtain two swords that can defeat the Demon King.

I thought that with that power, I would definitely win when I advanced into the demon world.

Cadenza said to Zeke.

“It doesn’t matter.”

“But…

“You are only 14 years old. You will make the wrong choice hundreds of times in your life. Are you going to get frustrated every time that happens and throw it all away? No, you are the hope of humanity

! It doesn’t matter whether you have fallen or committed a sin. I will be with you as long as you have the strength. “What we need is your power!”

“I…”

Oridon said to Zeke who hesitated.

“Zeke, are you going to commit another crime? Are you going to abandon your comrades who fought with you? “Are you saying you’re going to turn a blind eye when the only opportunity to free humanity from the hands of the devil has come?”

“I don’t know. But I

might give in to temptation again. Now… Signy held Zeke’s hand.

“Your brother is a warrior. I believe that to be true. “I don’t have any doubts.”

Cadenza spoke calmly to Zeke again.

“Stay here for a night and think about it. Will he fight the devil’s army with us or will he abandon us and hide? “Zeek, think seriously about what role you will play in the final war that will take place 20 years from now.”

Oridon tapped Zeke on the shoulder.

“I said it before, but Zeke, who lives in the Sagittarius’s penis, suits you perfectly. And I think you can be forgiven by God.”

Oridon then spoke to Signy.

“Please persuade my brother well.”

“Yes, Oridon.”

That night.

A bonfire was lit next to a withered tree.

Zeke looked at the flame burning silently.

Perhaps because the journey to the underworld was painful, Signi slightly developed a fever.

Yulgeum laid Signi’s head on her lap and stroked her head.

“It feels like I’m hugging my mom’s knee.”

“You can think of me as your mom. “I have so many children besides you.”

“You are Jin Geum-yong now, right?”

“yes.”

Zeke was startled when he heard the name Jin Geum-yong.

“God of dragons… you mean?”

“huh. Ah, Mr. Zeke, didn’t you know?”

“Yes, I didn’t know. “I don’t know how SIGNI knew.”

“Brother, can’t you see the brilliance behind that person’s back?”

“Yeah, I can’t see.”

“That person…

“Shh.”

When Yulgeum put her hand to her lips, Signi covered her mouth with both hands.

“sorry.”

“are you okay. Maybe someday Zeke will find out too. how is it? “Have you made up your mind?”

Zeke looked at Yulgeum blankly.

Jin Geum-yong!

The girl who worked part-time at a store… the girl who often killed time at a brunch cafe with Deus was the god of all dragons.

Zeke was so surprised by this unexpected fact that he even forgot to answer Yulgeum’s question.

“Isn’t the Demon King more surprising than Jin Geum-yong?”

“ah! “Did Yulgeum know about that?”

“ O ” o’.

“Well, there’s no way Jin Geumyong wouldn’t know! So Yulgeum was there to watch over him?”

“Half and half. “Because I sometimes entrusted him with tasks that were difficult for me to handle.”

“You mean dragon hunting?”

“yes.”

Zeke recalled the day he met Deus.

The way he blew away the dragon that appeared in Zoryx Village with a few kicks.

“When I think about it, I feel like such a fool. “I never once suspected that

a dragon could be defeated so easily !”

“Because there is a spell. “Ordinary humans cannot detect his identity.”

“He… why on earth did he approach me? “Did you come here because you knew that my pureblood level was high?”

“You still call him him.”

“ah! sorry. But… it is true that I have received an enormous favor from Him that I cannot repay.”

“I guess I can’t hate you.”

“I’m going to hate you. Because he is the devil. “We should try to do that

.”

“Because you are a hero.”

“I…

then I heard footsteps.

One by one, people gathered.

They were all familiar faces. They were all members of the Deus Party.

Scatul, in the form of a fairy, slowly approached with a smiling face and sat down by the campfire.

He is Zeke’s swordsmanship teacher and the Deus family’s butler.

“Mr. Scatul.”

“Zeke. Ms. Signy. I’m glad everyone is healthy. “It seemed like the lower part was roughly organized, so I went up there and had a look.”

The beings who came with Skatul were Lakhe and Sadimus.

The legendary plant Mandarake Rake helped Zeke in the shadows during his fight with the Demon King. After that, he joined Scatul and came up together.

Sadimus also participated in the war as a wizard.

Yulgeum said while looking at Lake and Sadimus.

“Now that my master is gone, I will be free from slavery.”

Lakhe asked.

“Isn’t Deus here?”

“huh. “I ran away.”

There was another person who intervened. It was Zeke’s squire, Nezar.

He was the main culprit in causing the creation of giants in this world, but now he was Zeke’s slave under a contract with the demons.

Nezar opened his mouth.

“I never thought that bastard was a devil bastard! “You said he was fundamentally evil, but he wasn’t human

.”

Yulgeum snorted.

“Aren’t you a very different child?”

” ha ha ha.”

Nezar covered it up with a laugh. Zeke said to him.

“I think it would be better not to talk about Deus-sama’s true identity carelessly.”

“If the master says so, then I should follow it.”

The group sat around the bonfire.

The reasons for coming together were different, but the central point was Deus.

Now that he is gone, their relationship with each other has become a little more delicate.

Skatul had no employees, and Lakhe and Sadimus had no contractors.

Nezar was a well-spoken squire of Zeke, but if you look at it, he was a servant of Deus.

After saying a few words about Zeke’s great battle, the conversation didn’t go well.

It was right then.

The bonfire got scared and reduced its flames.

At that moment, the group looked in the same direction at the same time.

There was a man there.

It was Deus.

Deus casually approached the bonfire and sat down on the empty seat.

“Now that I think about it, there’s still something left to settle. “It seems a bit out of place to appear again after a plausible breakup.”

Deus made an excuse to the dumbfounded gaze focused on him and

naturally turned his eyes to Lakhe.

“What are you going to do? Do you want to fit in here? Or do you want to follow me?”

“For your information, Lakhe is not human. It’s a plant. The legendary herb Mandarake. My hometown is the land of mugwort next to the demon world. “He was swept up by a volcanic eruption and dragged to the ground.”

Several people looked at Lakhe in bewilderment at Deus’ declaration.

Lakhe, whose cheeks were red, spoke in a low voice.

“I’m going… to my hometown.”

“It seems like you and Zeke have become quite close.”

“I thought it would be a nuisance.”

“Well, do whatever you want. “I promised to take you to the demon world, so I will protect that.”

Deus then looked at Sadimus.

“What are you going to do? Do you want to continue to be my slave? Or do you want to be sold to Zeke?”

“Ever since then, he has been a warrior’s companion. “I can’t be the devil’s servant.”

“Okay then, decision to sell. Next, Scatul.”

Deus looked at Skathul.

Deus sneered at the man who was smiling with a friendly expression.

Immediately after that, Deus disappeared from sight. When everyone found him again, Deus had pushed Skarthul against a dry, twisted tree and was strangling him.

“What are you?”

“Keck, I…

“If it’s not the answer I want, I’ll kill you.”

“Such unreasonableness…

“Answer me. who are you?”

“Ska… Skatiel. “I am a subordinate of Michael, the Lord

of Victory .”

Only then did Deus let go of his grip on Skatul’s neck.

“Is that what you were talking about? As expected, the angel played a trick in the middle.”

Skatul said, stroking his neck.

“It’s too much to say it’s a joke. “I just did what I was told to do.”

“The reason I don’t kill you is because I care about Yulgeum’s reputation. “Because she, like you,

appears to be a being who works according to God’s commands.”

“I am infinitely grateful to the Demon King for his mercy.”

Skarthul chuckled. Deus snorted at his words and sat down by the fire again.

“Next, Nezar. After all, wouldn’t it be better to kill that bastard?”

“Why are you like this? I am Zeke’s servant. “Let the devil disappear into the devil world.”

“Zeek, watch out for that bastard. Because he is like a devil who once destroyed the world. “If you think about it, you’re no different from the devil

.”

Zeke made no reply to Deus’ words.

After glancing at Zeke, Deus turned his eyes back to Yulgeum.

” female.”

“Why man?”

“Well, I will eat well and live well forever.”

“If you’re lonely, come hang out. “The dragon race is now neutral.”

“is it? Well, it may be impossible. “If I go back into the gears of history… I will die in 20 years.”

“Isn’t that too pessimistic? “You might win against the hero.”

Deus snorted.

“It’s going to be difficult because my stupid father lost his family money at the gambling table.”

“I guess he must have been 665 years old. The being that descended today is. That means…

Yulgeum sighed briefly.

She also seemed to know that the Demon King was divided into Demon Soul and Demon Spiritual Body.

Finally, Deus looked at Zeke.

“And Zeke.”

“Don’t forget to keep your promises.”

Zeke was surprised to hear the word promise and raised his dog.

” yes?”

“You decided to join me someday when you get really strong.”

Deus was laughing.

The moment Zeke saw his smile, he burst into tears.

We really had to break up now.

I’m done talking to him like this.

The day when we can talk like this… between humans will never come again.

Deus stood up.

Making a grunting sound like an old man.

“Ah, I remember the time when I sat at that food stall and had a drink. “It was really nice.”

He waved his hand with his back turned.

The devil seeps into the darkness.

Darkness welcomes its owner.

Zeke ran towards him.

But Deus had already disappeared into the darkness and could not be caught.

“I want you…!”

Even the words lost their light and were permeated by darkness.
