8. Fighting with the Dragon God (2)
Jingeumyong is the god of all dragons and a being who has watched the world since ancient times.
Aside from the Creator and the angels who serve him, he probably knows the most about the true nature of the world.
Her knowledge and power would be enough to make fun of the Seven Dukes of the Demon World.
It was Yulgeum who killed Darochu.
They probably used him to spread the fungus among the dragons, and they probably tried to use him as a means to put pressure on the hardliners.
I was angry at the fact that Daroche was dead.
And he couldn’t bear that he had been tricked into dancing like a puppet in her hands.
“Because I never learned how to control my anger.”
He spat out a single word and grabbed Yulgeum’s neck.
Her neck was bent weakly.
The dragons couldn’t believe the sight before their eyes. It let out a scream and raised its huge wings menacingly.
I glared at Deus. But how can we deal with an enemy that even the Dragon God cannot defeat?
Yulgeum’s body disappeared transparently.
Deus opened the hand that killed Yulgeum.
he growled.
“No one should touch my clan.”
The devil stepped among the dragons.
Everyone was angry. But I was powerless to stop him.
However, it was not possible to send him away alive.
The dragons in the direction Deus was heading committed suicide and fell in front of him.
Those corpses. Deus carelessly stepped on it and passed by.
There was not a single being who could stop him until he reached the border and escaped again.
Outside the border was Alex.
As soon as Deus appeared, he put on a dark cloak.
“Master,
” Daros’ vengeful spirit was appeased. “Don’t worry about me now.”
Alex’s eyes became moist.
“I… I thought you abandoned the demon world.”
“I threw it away.”
“My lord!”
“I abandoned the demon world. “I am shaking off my karma and living as just one being called Deus.”
“Then why did you do this for Daroche! “Why do you even want to deceive me?”
Deus shook his head, looking down at Alex, who was kneeling down.
“I’m not cheating.”
“That’s a contradiction.”
“Who doesn’t have contradictions in their lives? I don’t want to be the devil. But that’s just my greed… Just because I abandoned my karma doesn’t mean I forgot my destiny. Daroche is my family. “Whether I like him or not, it doesn’t change the fact that he is family.”
Deus took off the cloak draped over his shoulders and handed it back to Alex.
“I took revenge because they killed my family. “It’s just… that’s all.”
“My lord!”
“Let’s go back.”
“Where are you going?”
“To Joryx Castle.”
“That is not a place for my lord to return to
.”
Deus did not respond to Alex’s words.
Lying on the back of a carriage pulled by two horses, Deus looked up at the sky.
I never thought I would kill Yulgeum.
Alex spoke, looking at his complicated expression.
“Do you regret it?”
“what?”
“The thing that killed Yulgeum.”
“I think it’s a little different from the Hue Corridor.”
“Is that so?”
« o ” Hmm
“I don’t think it’s something I dare say, but…
“Then don’t do it.”
“But let me tell you one thing.”
“If that’s the case, why are you acting so cautious?”
“If we turn the dragons into enemies, the war 20 years from now will be very difficult. Although dragons are not used to forming groups, they are not very active in war, but their individual strength far exceeds that of other demons and humans. “I’m just afraid of what the consequences will be if they all leave the land of the dragon tribe and form an alliance with humans.”
“What do you know? “I won’t be on that battlefield.”
“Master!”
“I, who quit being the Demon King, have no reason to join in.”
“Family!”
“Why family?”
“Didn’t you say you couldn’t ignore the death of your family?”
“You idiot, before you say anything, filter it through your brain. Is it the same as someone coming and killing your family while they are sitting at home, or running out to the battlefield and running amok? “Who’s going to stop me from screaming that I’m going to die?”
“Damn, wasn’t that a bit too much?
“It is a war that is somewhat like the long-cherished wish of the demon world.”
“My long-cherished wish is to unify the world by force, so it’s like this every day.”
“There must be some other way!”
“There are so many ways…
Deus lay down again on the straw bale that had been made into a bed.
“That’s right. It’s a disease, it’s a disease. As if possessed by something, they crawl to the ground once every 100 years and millions of people die… What’s so unfortunate about that that they crawl back again in the next 100 years?” “We
can’t live in a land of lies forever .
“The Demon World has become a distorted world because of the efforts to create light and modify plants and animals so that they can grow in that light.”
“Even something that is twisted becomes straight after about 666 centuries.”
“That’s just the compliance of a weak loser.”
“Look at what this guy is saying. “Are you saying I’m a weak loser?”
“Absolutely not, my lord! My lord has achieved the most powerful feat among all demon kings. Go to the dragon’s territory and kill Jingeumyong! “ I
still tremble when I think of the achievements my lord has made.”
Deus closed his mouth.
It collapsed the world order.
It was something I did out of anger that I couldn’t handle, but it also felt like I didn’t think too much of it.
“What happens now?
” “I don’t know.”
“What is clear is that making money is blocked.”
“Do you care about that?”
“Of course I care.”
“I really don’t know what’s on your mind
.”
“There is nothing wrong with it.”
“More than that, my lord.”
“Why again?”
“What do you plan on doing as Daroche’s successor? “You can’t leave the position of the Lord of Gluttons empty, can you?”
“Well, the rest of the Dukes will take care of it.”
“It’s not that simple. They are all people who think they are superior…
“Then fight and die. Don’t you think it would be good? When the power of the remaining five dukes
weakens.”
“Oh, there is another way.”
“It’s good?”
“ha ha ha. That’s my true intention, but I can’t leave it like that. “Because the power of the demon world will weaken.”
Deus raised his head and looked at Alex.
As he drove the carriage and looked ahead, he seemed to spend most of his life worrying about the demon world.
If you are a loyal subject, you should be a loyal subject.
“I told you to take over Daroche’s child or something. “That’s the most natural.”
“Can I pass on the order of the Demon King?”
“Do whatever you want.”
“Then I will take care of it.”
After riding for a day and a half in a rickety carriage along a bad road, the two were able to enter the grounds of Joryx Castle again.
Although he was full of questions, Zeke silently welcomed the return of his colleague(?).
Deus said a half-hearted greeting and went into the inner room, while Alex
checked the situation of the store while he was away.
The next morning.
As soon as Deus woke up, he opened his eyes and sat down on the bed.
“Why don’t you take it easy now and come out?”
“Did you notice?”
“of course.”
” when?”
“The moment you die.”
“I guess my acting skills were lacking.”
The door opened.
The one who appeared from there
was Jin Geum-yong and Yul-geum, a woman with a carefree expression.
“Didn’t he really look dead?”
Yulgeum was smiling.
Seeing that smile, Deus was filled with anger in his heart.
“This damn woman…
“I’m the one who should be angry. “It’s like being suddenly slapped in the face while sitting.”
“It wasn’t sudden, was it?”
“Do you still think I’m the culprit? “Did you kill Prince Gluttony Darosh?”
“There is no evidence. But all the stories are connected to that side.”
“Because Daroche created that mold?”
“I guess you knew as expected.”
“I discovered Daroche’s signature at a glance. But that’s why I was the first to exclude him from the list of dragons.”
Yulgeum rolled over and sat down on the bed.
“You are so simple.” Deus frowned.
“What are you talking about?”
“What did you think I was plotting with Daroche?”
“Are you saying it’s not?”
“Of course not.”
“What is the basis?”
“That’s the one that has to provide the basis. Don’t think that I feel good just because I’m smiling. “You haven’t already forgotten how many people you killed, have you?”
Deus looked straight at Yulgeum.
“I guess that’s not what you really want to talk about?”
“Why don’t you be honest?”
“…thank you.”
“Bigger.”
“Thank you! “You’re so narrow-minded.”
Yulgeum suddenly expressed his gratitude.
As she said, Deus killed the dragons and even attacked Yulgeum in front of everyone.
Officially, Yulgeum became dead.
Nevertheless, she
was expressing gratitude to Deus.
“Then shall we listen? Why did you suddenly choose to die? No, why did you suddenly try to pretend to be dead?”
“I thought you would notice. “What I want.”
“I noticed it. “It suddenly reveals a loophole and looks like it wants to kill you. What fool wouldn’t know that?”
“There are many fools in the world.”
“Anyway, I killed you as you wished, so tell me. “I’m so curious that I can’t even sleep.”
“I heard you sleep well and snore?”
“Have you been stealing all night?”
“I told you. “They added feathers.”
“Take it off now.”
“I don’t like that.”
“stalker.”
“If possible, call me spy.”
When Deus seemed to be talking for a long time, he returned to the original conversation.
“I really meant to kill you.”
“I know. But it won’t be easy’?”
“Shall we try again?”
“surrender.”
Yulgeum smiled and raised his hand.
Deus was helpless and shook his head.
“You really…
“As I said before, I also recognized Daroche’s signature. There’s no way you wouldn’t know. He is a demon who has built up a reputation as the Seven Dukes of the Demon World over the course of 666 centuries. “I know every single one of his habits and abilities inside out.”
“I guess so.”
“But we haven’t yet figured out why his name is written on the mycelium. “I wonder if someone commissioned him or if
he imitated his signature.”
“Hmm…
“If it was a request, I was thinking of it as a party.”
” me?”
“huh. Because he is the devil. “I suspected that they were trying to use the mycelium to drive a wedge between us dragons and humans.”
“It’s past tense.”
“When they crossed the boundaries of the Blue Jade Realm and started massacring the clan, all suspicions were completely dispelled.”
“Because you found out I was suspicious of you
?”
“No, I’m not pretending to be stupid. I think you’re really stupid.”
Deus frowned.
Yulgeum laughs again.
“It’s just as you said. With Daroche in between, I was suspicious of him and he was suspicious of me. “I actually committed suicide… so I had no choice but to find out the truth.”
“So you’re playing dead?”
“huh. I don’t know who planned this behind the scenes, but I don’t think they would have wanted the devil to kill Jin Geum-yong
. “Because it’s such a big event.”
“What if you wanted it?”
“But the result is the same. “Now that we have achieved our goal, we can start moving in earnest.”
“Are you still suspicious of the hard-line dragons? That they have joined hands with the demon world?”
“Including that.”
Yulgeum sighed briefly and opened his mouth again.
“It is truly a time of great chaos.”
