7. Deciding to duel (4)
Zeke smiled with an embarrassed expression.
At that time, Deus waved his hand towards Yulgeum.
“Why don’t you stop egging me on for fun?”
“I’m not trying to make fun of you.”
“It will become a plaything for those in power. The 5th generation warriors are only used in war, but the 4th generation warriors are nothing like that. Even if you participate in the war,
you cannot join the vanguard.”
All support was focused on the 5th generation.
Even if the 4th generation’s pureblood level was high, they were already too old to become warriors.
Human energy was not infinite.
Although my skills and strength could increase, my vital energy inevitably declined compared to my teenage years.
Deus continued.
“That person, the principal or something… probably knew that, so he tried to give me a C grade. At first, I thought he was a strange guy, but
giving too high a grade to a hero whose family doesn’t support him is nothing but bullying. A hero in the 10% range. Well, I’m sure everyone will welcome it enthusiastically at first. But what happens next? “Anyway, the 4th generation is just a stepping stone to giving birth to the 5th generation of warriors.”
Yulgeum shrugged his shoulders.
“You will gain wealth and fame.”
“That’s not something someone else can give you. I’m going to win it. “A poor man usually doesn’t end well.”
“They were also famous for being wealthy.” Deus snorted.
“I earned this all with my own efforts.”
“Nothing was just picked up? “For example, in all generations.”
“The legacy of previous generations? “That’s mine too.”
“You’re greedy.”
“And this is mine too.”
Deus picked up the largest of the new skewers and took a bite! I put it in.
Yulgeum puffed out her cheeks and sighed briefly in anger.
“Class B might be better. If you climb too high…
the hero and the devil.
It suddenly occurred to me that it would be a cruel fate for
Zeke and Deus to cross swords with each other .
Yulgeum put the skewer in her mouth.
What is there to know about what will happen 20 years from now?
The alcohol is delicious and the snacks are even better.
Deus sat on the bed, stroked his brittle hair and looked ahead.
Alex was there.
What a subtle expression!
I woke up, stretched out refreshed, and went out of the house to eat brunch. This was my face as the sun set.
“So why?”
“My lord.”
“Why are you suddenly putting down the mood?”
“We, the Seven Dukes, have served the Demon King’s clan for 666 centuries.”
“Six Dukes.”
“…Yes, we six dukes united in loyalty to the Demon King.”
“Why are you telling me that? “Talk to the previous 665 demon lords.”
“It’s the same now.”
“You’re strange.”
“My lord.”
“Even if I hold on to the weight, it won’t turn. “ Because I quit
.”
“Daroche committed suicide.”
“Whether Daroch committed suicide or what he did…
Deus’ mouth stopped.
“He committed suicide in front of me this morning.”
The hangover went away.
Deus’s face also had the look on his face when he woke up, stretched out refreshed, went out to eat brunch, and found that night had fallen. “I couldn’t reveal it because I couldn’t say it
, so I swallowed my own poison, saying that it would
only bother me to put pressure on my lord .”
Alex continued with a bitter smile.
“Now you are the real Duke of Yuk.”
“Ha, I’m going crazy.”
Deus let out a long sigh.
“My lord. I no longer doubt that my lord is thinking deeply and is looking far ahead with a well-thought-out plan. However… our peacocks are not stones that can be used up and thrown away. We… are proud of ourselves because we are the pillars that support the demon world
.”
That’s not it.
These words didn’t come out of my mouth.
“My lord, there is Daroche’s funeral tonight.”
” Alex.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Prepare black clothes.”
“yes. “I will prepare with a color darker than the night and deeper than the abyss.”
The city of ten thousand towers.
Madou Eidos. It is
a city created and created by the devil
.
The numerous towering towers and the bridges connecting them formed the scenery of the demon world in themselves.
Each of the seven paths extending from the Demon King’s Tower reached the Seven Dukes’ Tower.
One of them, the tower of Daroche, will be turned off today.
Those who are not allowed to climb the tower and those who sit at the head table at the funeral will all feel the same feelings of sadness, pain, grief, and resentment.
After the funeral, Daroche’s body
was taken to the fires of purgatory.
As Deus walked along the streets of the Demon World, immersed in deep depression, he was overcome by a strange sentiment.
I have no intention of becoming a demon lord. But…
it wasn’t that I didn’t like this place.
I didn’t hate the people living here either.
Deus was at the front of the procession.
Monsters with the heads of beasts.
Demons waving their long horns. A
people
with blue and green skin .
Standing in front of all the distorted and distorted people, Demiurge 666 took weary steps.
Daroche’s coffin was thrown into the place where bright red lava swirled.
The flame engulfed the black, white, and blue with its own color.
After the funeral, Deus left the Demon World immediately.
Numerous questions were swallowed in each mouth, and the demon world lost its new demon king again due to force majeure.
“Guess who passed away?”
Alex stayed in the basement to finish the funeral arrangements, and Deus, who returned alone, collapsed in a late-night street stall.
Incense and a dark black suit to honor the soul.
Those two things alone were enough to make me feel death.
Deus nodded to Zeke’s question.
“There was this funny guy that looked like a crocodile. “Try rolling some Garak noodles.”
“Yes, Deus.”
Thickly pulled noodles were soaked in boiling water.
Pour the boiling fish cake soup over it and add some red pepper powder and green onions.
The taste of the spicy soup slightly lingering in my throat was addictive.
“He’s not the kind of guy who’s going to die. There must have been tens, if not hundreds, of millions of beings in the world who wanted to kill that guy, but no one was able to kill him. But I died in vain today.”
“That’s… that’s a shame.”
“There is no need to use such adult language.”
“is that so?”
I slurped down the Garak noodles. Something stuck in my throat went down along with the noodles.
“Never teach someone how to make soup.”
“it is delicious?”
“Do you think I come here every day because I’m free?”
“thank you.”
“It’s free, though.”
“Yes?” “But
there’s no reason for you to come here and kill me when you have free time .
“If the food doesn’t taste good.”
“yes that’s right.”
“But it’s a bit annoying to go far, so I guess I’m just staying here. “I’ve never tried food sold anywhere else.”
“Which one are you? Does it taste good? “Are you saying it doesn’t taste good?”
“It’s delicious.”
Deus took another sip of soup and spoke to Zeke.
“But.”
“Yes, Deus.”
“I have no intention of letting someone who messes with my family live.”
“Yes, I guess so.”
“Who could that be? “There are quite a few people who can kill Daroche, but there aren’t that many who can corner him and make him commit suicide.”
“Yulgeum.”
“yes’?”
“All the clues point to that damn woman. He suddenly approached me and gave me his work. “Through the intermediary of Daroche’s poison,
we created a situation in which suspicion could not be avoided.”
As he continued to mumble his story while passing the glass, Zeke’s body began to tremble with a frightening feeling.
But that wasn’t the end.
As Deus gained more formidable power, the light in Zeke’s heart grew along with it.
That became the foundation of courage and enabled me to overcome fear.
“Talk rather than doubt. “That’s what I learned from my father.”
“That stage has already passed. “Because the dead
don’t come back.”
“Deus-sama…
“Zeke.”
“Yes, Deus.”
“Please leave for a few days.”
“yes.”
“There will be neither me nor a butler.”
“yes.”
“Don’t leave the weapons store to you. “It’s running well.”
“There is nothing I can do to help…
“No. This is something you shouldn’t get involved in. “If you take care of things here, that’s enough.”
“yes.”
Deus poured himself a glass full of alcohol and looked straight at Zeke.
“What if…
“Yes.”
“If I don’t come back, take this store for yourself.”
“yes?”
Deus stood up and turned around.
The opponent is Jin Geum-yong.
Can we win?
I couldn’t find an answer to this question.
A magic spirit bubbled deep inside my body.
I was planning on doing my best.
Until the moment she dies or the moment he dies.
The boundary of scenery.
The boundary of the gyeong was a place where there was a portal leading to the gyeong where the dragons lived.
In the world, it was also commonly called the entrance to a dungeon.
Since there were no humans who could notice the boundary point, we only
remember it as a dungeon.
The boundary of Hwangokgyeong, where Jingeumyong Yulgeum lives, was unknown.
I visited once, but that time I followed Yulgeum without passing through the border of Gyeong.
Although he might have been worried about how to get there…
Deus walked towards the border of Amu without hesitation.
I felt a faint resistance.
“You’re a trivial remnant.”
I raised my fingernails and scratched the front.
The sharply forged blade of darkness
tore through the boundary membrane.
Step by step.
I took off the mask of an insignificant and weak human being.
The appearance did not change significantly. It did not grow horns or scales on its skin.
Darkness is born from him and only colors the surroundings.
A blue flame burned over his body.
The ground he stepped on became lifeless, and the air he exhaled became poisonous and destroyed living things.
Demiurge 666 years old.
It couldn’t be said to be perfect, but it was infinitely close.
It was a day about 20 years left until the day of Advent when the Demon King stepped into the Blue Jade Mirror.
It was the blue dragons that ruled the aquamarine mirror.
Jose called them blue dragons.
These blue dragons had their four long triangular wings wide open. The two tails used powerful blue magic.
A dragon that was close to the border where Deus had stepped reacted sharply and attacked.
“How dare you violate the boundaries of the Blue Jade Sutra! “You are out of your mind!”
“I ask.”
“What…”
“Tell me the way to reach Jingeumryong. “If you don’t, you will die.”
“Crazy guy!”
The blue dragon laughed and showed his teeth.
“You crossed the border and attacked the dragon tribe. “You won’t beg for your life later,
right?”
Deus opened his mouth to him again.
“I ask. “Where should I go to meet Jingeumryong?”
“die!”
The blue dragon swung its sharp claws and crushed Deus’ head.
That tiny life will burst and die like a fly!
I slowly raised my hand, mocking myself for being overly angry against a trivial enemy.
But the enemy in human form
was still there.
He raised his head with an emotionless expression, as if there was no reason to be excited about such an attack.
“Great beast, you have lost your last chance.”
The man raised his hand.
The blue dragon was destroyed molecule by molecule by the black energy extending from his hand.
The few remaining pieces of flesh crumbled away, giving off a thick rotten smell, and the man walked into the depths of the sapphire again in search of the next dragon.
