48. The world is wide and there are many villains (3)
“A hero needs to become strong to defeat the devil. Becoming stronger ultimately depends on how many real battles you have to endure.”
“yes. Alex told me to learn the Demon King’s Dance or something, but what good would it be if I just sat down and followed my brother? If you beat even one more guy, and beat him again, your skills will always improve. “Sparring with you once
would be the most helpful thing right now.”
Zeke scratched his head.
“I’ve grown a lot to be the devil’s sparring partner.”
“It’s grown a lot. “At first, even one dragon made me drowsy and pee.”
“I’m not tired! “I almost did, though.”
“You’re a hero again. “This world revolves around heroes.”
“That’s because we have to defeat the Demon King.”
“Don’t keep defeating me, man.”
“Haha sorry. “It’s become a habit to talk about.”
Zeke, who was joking, opened his mouth again.
“By the way, Deus.”
” uh?”
“Don’t you miss your daughter?”
“The devil loves nothing except carnage, destruction, and chaos.”
“What about Deus, who tried to quit being the Demon Lord?”
“me? Hmm…what kind of feeling does it make you want to see?”
“It reminds me of it.”
“Even if I stay still?”
” yes.”
“Then I guess I wanted to see you. “Because I often think of it.”
“That’s because we had a promise.”
“yes. “I have never forgotten my promise to fight you.”
Deus nodded.
“Is that so? Hmm…. It’s my daughter…. If you’re thinking about it, it’s me.”
“Yes? I want to see you as soon as possible. “Signi’s child.”
“Why do you keep making virgins into children’s mothers? “Even if everyone in the world calls you that, you don’t do that.”
“In fact, SIGNI has accepted his fate
, so it’s okay to deny it.”
“Tell Signi well. Don’t even think about raising the devil’s child. The road of hardship is clear. Can your younger brother continue to live under the dreary sky of the Demon World? But would you raise the devil’s daughter in the human world? “Everyone is happiest living in their own land.”
“Because the daughter and mother separated?”
“Even so.”
“Huh..”
w
Zeke crossed his arms.
“Are we really going to move to the land of mugwort? Deus-sama is also thinking about that and
is currently clearing out the monsters in Mugwort.”
“That’s true, but…
“If the demons leave the land of mugwort and no longer invade the human world, the war will end at that moment.”
“I guess so. I don’t know when we’ll clash again, but there won’t be war for a few thousand years.”
“It seems like a really good idea, but why is Manager Alex opposed to it?”
“I don’t know, those sly snakes. “Maybe it’s just because I’m scared… or maybe there’s something else up my sleeve.”
“If you think about it, the demon lord is just as strange as the hero.”
“yes? “Now I finally have someone I can communicate with.”
“I grew up learning that the Demon King is the embodiment of evil… but when I look at it, I see that he is just the king of the Demons.”
“That’s a scarecrow too.”
“That’s right. “The Seven Dukes are the actual rulers, and the king fights wars by proxy?”
“that’s right.”
“If that’s the case, the dukes
can share the magic spirit and fight directly.”
“They say they don’t want to die.”
“… Deus-sama, I’m just asking… Is that why you quit being the Demon King?”
“uh.”
“The world is twisted…
“It’s twisted.”
“That’s right.”
As I gave up my position as a demon king and a hero and talked openly, I was able to see a lot more things I didn’t know before.
The hero and the devil.
Both are roles filled with action.
Someone set it up that way.
Who could it be?
god? angel? Seven Dukes? Successful?
If there is a being who created it, there must be a reason for doing so.
“Ah, should I really build something called the Tower of Babel?”
“The Tower of Babel?”
“uh. “I heard it’s a boat that can take you to God?”
“Is there such a thing?”
“They said Nezar made it. Oh, by the way, he has his slave documents, right?”
“yes. Teriyan has it now. “We talked so well that they would never let us create anything.”
“good job. That bastard is really dangerous. “If there is someone who will destroy the world, it will not be the Demon Lord, but that bastard Nezar.”
“It wasn’t that strong.”
“Well, that’s true… Anyway, he once tried to conquer the God Realm.”
“Huh, was it that bad? But Deus, are you also planning to conquer the God Realm?”
“Don’t even talk about it. It was destroyed before when it got involved with Archangel, who was supposed to be Kamael. “I’ve been losing confidence since then.”
“ah! “Archangel Kamael was really strong.”
“There are twelve like that.”
“Metatron Zafkiel Raziel Zadkiel Kamael Hamiel Michael Raphael Gabriel Uriel Sariel and Ra Guel.”
“What about Lucy Pell?”
“I was in Sariel’s place. “They became corrupt
and were kicked out.”
“Metatron also quit being an archangel.”
“You mean Yulgeum?”
“uh.”
“But I haven’t heard anything about it changing.”
“Well, to begin with, the knowledge of the divine world known to humans is a superstition that is infinitely close to myth.”
“If I’m curious, it’s quicker to ask Yulgeum. Because he is a party.”
“When we meet, we have to feed him three chestnuts and have a big dinner before we start.”
“I guess you want to meet me?”
“Are you speechless?”
“You haven’t sparred yet today, right? Should we try it in practice? “Here, even if we kill each other, we won’t die anyway.”
“Hahaha, why are you so embarrassed?”
“What about you? “Is it Raque or Lexia?”
” What’?”
“These are women who follow you because they like you.”
“Oh, it’s not like that. Mr. Lakhe, you probably like plants. “This is the first time I’ve met Lexia
in 10 years.”
“Neither of you are in that mood?”
“I had no idea?”
“It’s dull.”
“Oh, come to think of it, Deus.”
” why?”
“Have you decided on a name for your daughter?”
“name? “Demiurge is 667 years old.”
“Oh, does that happen?”
“But there has never been a woman who has done anything to the Demon Lord… so will she not be able to succeed? No, actually, I have no intention of doing it. “If I don’t die, I will always be the devil.”
“That’s right.”
“Then, of course, we need a name. Hmm… since I’m Deus, I’ll just gather the rest of the letters and make one. How about me go?”
“Migo. “It’s cute.”
“yes?”
Migo celebrated her 11th birthday at Neuekan.
In fact, it was exactly one year since he was born, but he didn’t look like a newborn, so I started counting his age from 10 years old.
The year in which the sword rose from Signi’s back was taken as the year of birth, and the day of birth was designated as the birthday.
In one year, Migo acquired tremendous knowledge.
From both magic and sword, he gained powers that were hard to think of as a human.
In particular, the magic power was already at a level where Regin and Lexia could not even keep up with it.
That was because he had a great person as his teacher.
Yulgeum.
As the god of dragons and a former archangel, she knew all the magic in the world.
However, the field that Yulgeum actually taught was etiquette, not magic.
‘I can never raise an unlucky child like Deus.’
I put in a lot of effort with this thought in mind, but it didn’t really have any effect.
Migo only pretended to do it in front of others and started acting fussed even when the atmosphere was slightly relaxed.
“Yulgeum! please.”
“Can not be done.”
“I’ll give you 100 massages.” “The shoulders of this body
are smooth with no lumps .
“It’s a pointless effort.”
“Then,
“Stop doing unnecessary things and help your mother do the laundry.”
“My uncle has already gone to help.”
“You should do it too.”
“Yulgeum nieiim! If you let me do it, I will listen carefully. “I will observe good manners and study hard.”
“Are you trying to make a deal with me about what you should do?”
” please!”
The twinkling round eyes made Yul Geum feel weak.
“Hey, I didn’t mean to feel sorry for you.”
“Hurray! Thank you!”
What Migo was begging for was none other than an outing.
The barrier created by Yulgeum was almost absolute.
Not only the mugwort monster, but no other being could recognize the inside of the barrier.
However, because it was such a small space, young Migo could not hide his curiosity about the outside world.
It would have been okay if I thought there was no outside, but
every time I saw Regin, Lexia, and others returning from hunting, my yearning for the outside world grew.
A month ago, Yulgeum finally took Migo on an outing.
I returned from hunting a mugwort monster under the pretext of improving my fighting sense.
From then on, Migo pestered Yulgeum whenever she had the chance.
“Stand still.”
At Yulgeum’s words, Migo stood straight in her seat. A magic powder made by grinding up
several herbs, dried tree roots,
and insect shells was sprinkled on Migo’s body.
It was to erase the presence of demons. Even though the blood of a warrior is flowing, it does not change the fact that she is a demon.
Even though the area near Neuekan was a no-man’s land, it was necessary to prepare just in case.
“It’s my 11th birthday present. “You can’t ask for it to be done every day.”
“Yes, Yulgeum!”
“Be sure to give me a massage.”
“Hehe, I’ll do it for you tonight.”
Yulgeum eventually smiled.
Migo looks more like my mother than my father.
Everyone considered that fortunate.
Migo, who came out, was a colt with the reins loose.
I jumped over the mountain ridge in an instant.
His physical abilities were far beyond human standards.
I climbed over a cliff about 10 meters high as if I was walking with light feet.
The devil’s innate talent and the warrior’s
talent.
When the two were combined, the amount of growth was often surprising even to Yulgeum.
The justification was to practice combat through hunting, but in reality it was more like a picnic.
I climbed over the hill and approached the waterfall that was pouring down.
Migo was tickled by the stream of water falling from her hand, bursting into laughter, and ran to Yulgeum to boast.
If I found a pretty flower, I would stand there for several minutes. When the butterfly flew in and landed, I laughed loudly.
Yulgeum looked at Migo with a happy
expression.
The desire to raise him strictly disappeared like melting snow.
After passing through green fields and snow-covered mountain peaks to a crater filled with volcanic ash, the northern slope of the mountain range was revealed.
The mountain slope there was steeper than the southern slope where Neuekan was located.
A mountain ridge as sharp as a knife falls down in a dizzying way.
The forest was so sparse that even mugwort monsters were hard to find.
“Let’s go back.” “It’s dangerous here.”
“Oh yes. Yulgeum.”
Migo stood on top of a cliff several hundred meters and looked down, then turned around at Yulgeum’s words.
Then I discovered people moving on the other side.
Although it was almost a kilometer away, I could even see their expressions thanks to having the Devil’s Eye.
“Yulgeum. There are people over there. however…. “He’s tall.”
Yulgeum also noticed what Migo had discovered.
“You must be a giant.”
“ah! “Is that a giant?”
“okay. “They are lowly beings. They wear stone hammers and bone hats and live like animals.”
“But what they are holding is not a stone hammer.”
