1. Quit being a demon lord (4)
“The demon spirit energy in my lord’s body was collected by demons.”
“If you give it to me, that’s enough. Why take it back?”
“No, it’s normal, so the amount taken from each person is not a big deal.”
“Then don’t be condescending.”
“I’m not condescending, I’m just telling you the truth.”
“You know rain.”
“You mean the rain falling from the sky? “You know.”
“The person who receives the rainwater is the owner. “It doesn’t matter whether it comes from the sea or the river.”
“So, the one who accepted it was from the Demon World…
“The vessel is mine. So, Mayoung prayer is mine. “If you are dissatisfied, take it by force.”
“My lord’s power is already the best in the demon world.”
“Then it’s settled.”
“Something feels uncomfortable, but let’s leave it at that.”
Deus looked his subordinate’s face up and down.
“You seem to be very dissatisfied with me. Are thorns prickling with every word you say? huh?”
“Ouch, it’s boarding time. I open the way. Here comes Nauri. “Get out of the way!”
“That bastard!”
Deus clicked his tongue and chased after him.
The carriage ran along a smooth, paved road
.
It was a 20-seat carriage pulled by 8 horses. It was occasionally rattling, but it wasn’t uncomfortable as it was a comfortable carriage.
Deus sat by the window and leaned against the window frame.
Alex waited quietly next to him.
“How long will it take?”
“It takes more than five days to get to the royal capital of a neighboring country. “It will take a full 15 days to reach the Kingdom of Gelon.”
“Can I ride this?”
“yes.”
“Are you starting to get bored already?”
“Thirty minutes have passed.”
“The scenery is also ordinary. “Don’t you think it would be perfect if the volcano erupted around that time?”
“Rivers of lava flow.”
“yes. “How funny it is to watch little goblins, driven mad by the screams of ghosts, eating their comrades.”
“Didn’t you run away from the demon world to live a normal life?”
“common? “I don’t plan on doing that?” “Well, then
you wouldn’t have attacked
the human kingdom in the first place .”
“Don’t keep asking. “Because it’s annoying.” Alex shook his head.
“I’m just curious. “Demiurge 666 is literally the 666th Demon King.”
“It’s a mass-produced product made once every 100 years.”
“If it happens once every 100 years, it can be considered the highest quality handmade product by a craftsman. “The entire demon world has been busy for 100 years trying to create just one demon lord.”
“Sorry for the inconvenience. “I have committed a mortal sin
.”
“Why are you receiving it so crookedly again?”
“But why do you talk back to me when you call me master?”
“I am your lord’s nanny and tutor. Don’t you know anything about the military department? “The king, the teacher, and the father are one.”
“You’re also a mother, right? I guess I should use polite language. “I’m sorry I didn’t know you, Alex.”
Alex grinned.
Deus, who had expected a different reaction,
became upset and crumpled Alex’s body.
Since beholders are molluscs, there was no significant impact.
At that time, Deus’s eyes saw the scenery far away from the window.
The vast mountain range wore a white hat. It was a mountain range of perpetual snow.
“This is Josefpine.”
Alex, who returned to his original form the moment Deus’ power disappeared, said.
“I guess so.”
“The best place to hide is in the mountains
.”
“Who is hiding?”
“Well, you have a dream of aiming for the top two pros on the continent.”
“Now that I think about it, I’m penniless.”
“Of course.”
“If you want to be in the top 2%, you have to have at least a big mansion, right?”
“There should be at least one house in a first-class residential area in the capital.”
“Does being a warrior make good money?”
“There too, the poor get richer and the rich get richer. Class
D is the best, but…
“What does it stand for?”
“I am the Dragon Slayer.”
“Ah, I guess it’s a title you can get by killing a dragon?”
“It’s not like that. The dragon race is neutral, so even our demon race rarely touches them. “There is no need to increase the number of enemies.”
“The name D-class is already causing enough controversy to the Balaur clan?”
“It hasn’t been that long since the Balaur turned neutral.”
Alex suddenly sighed deeply.
“Look at this. There is still so much left to learn… What if you run out into the world, trusting only in magical power?”
Deus raised his hand.
“That’s enough. “It’s not like we’re going to destroy the earth.”
“Don’t you want to fill this land with fire and lava? “Didn’t you say the scenery was beautiful?”
“shut up. Just keep talking. What’s below Class D? “Is it class E?”
“It’s class G.”
“G?”
“I am the Giant Slayer.”
“Ah, you mean the giants?”
“Giants live mainly north of Horsespine. “They form villages in every valley, and when winter comes and there is nothing to eat, they invade the human world.”
“It’s G-class… I guess I’ll be in the top 2 pros by then, right? “It seems like it stands out too much.”
“Did you decide on a mountainous area as expected?”
“What about down there?”
“Going beyond people and B to level C.”
“What is C? Cockatrice? Chimera?”
“It’s just C-level in ABC order.”
“Why does it go that way?”
“It was decided by the Warrior Management Department of Seonghwangcheong.”
“It’s a good place too.”
“There are also contract contracts.”
“Is this an illegal product?”
“If you were to call it a fruit, it’s a fallen fruit. Grind it and make jam.”
“It’s a pity.”
“But what is more important than a hero’s grade is blood.”
“That’s right..”
“Even if your abilities are low,
if you are close to pureblood, your level will go up. “There are cases where you start at level D even if you don’t catch a single chicken.”
“Is that possible?”
“It’s extremely rare… but it seems like it does exist. In such cases, Seonghwangcheong especially sends colleagues with the highest ability to help.”
“It’s a scam.”
“After all, the purpose of Seonghwangcheong is to create the ultimate hero.”
‘The hero fights the devil.’
Both the demon world and the human world were doing their best to complete that single cliche
.
Deus cursed at the unpleasant sentiment and looked out the window.
“Anyway, how long are you going to leave them like that?”
Alex looked around.
Dozens of passengers and crew members on the carriage looked straight ahead as if hypnotized.
There was even a person who had stopped drinking tea for 30 minutes with the cup still attached to his lips.
“It’s a hassle to choose what to say.”
“If you are exposed to the devil’s brainwashing for too long,
it is not good for your mental health. “Do you think the princess of Verde would be going crazy by now?”
“Who is that?”
“Have you already forgotten?”
“If it’s not important, I don’t remember it.”
“What is important to you, master?”
“Of course.”
Deus said to Alex, who tilted his head.
“ourself.”
When God created the world,
demons were born for some reason.
If he is perfect, why did the devil come into existence?
If he isn’t perfect, why can’t the devil defeat God?
66,500 years.
During that long time, the demon world accumulated power and attacked humans.
But…
“Are you that curious about why I quit being the Demon King?”
“of course.”
” that.
Deus slowly opened his mouth.
Actually, it wasn’t a very great reason. I’m just a little embarrassed to say it out loud.
“The reason I quit being the Demon King is…
At that very moment, a burning sensation of heat passed across my cheeks.
It wasn’t just a fever.
It smelled like home, so would it be appropriate to call it a fire?
Deus turned his head and looked outside.
“What is that?”
“It’s a dragon.”
In response to Alex’s answer, Deus pulled his upper body out of the carriage window.
The plains were blackened and the vegetation burned and turned to charcoal.
The place where the monster’s breath passed immediately became hell.
“The castle is under attack?”
Alex said something that could be known without any explanation.
“They say dragons are neutral?”
“Hahaha, I also believe this is knowledge from 100 years ago. “It’s been 80 years since I appeared in the human world.”
80 years ago, it would have been the same war in which the previous Demon King was defeated.
The passenger carriage carrying passengers
was moving forward without any fear.
The target is a castle under attack by a dragon.
Because of Deus’ brainwashing, no one screamed.
“What are you looking at like that?”
Alex asked, sticking his head out the window.
“The castle is burning in flames. “It is the first beautiful sight I see when I come to earth.”
“Of course, but let’s start with the brainwashing. “This carriage is so unnatural.”
“Then people
won’t just scream. Help me! Like this.”
“Yes.”
“Noisy.”
“It’s great to hear human words.”
“Is that so?”
“Take a listen. “The destruction and slaughter cannot be stopped.”
“Well, I guess it was like that.”
When he attacked Akoma Castle, he felt mild excitement.
I snapped my fingers. For three seconds, people looked around in confusion.
But immediately after that, the inside of the carriage was filled with all kinds of screams.
“It’s not bad to hear.”
Deus said this and jumped out of the carriage.
Alex was startled and ran after him.
“When I think about it.”
“yes.”
“I don’t like being cornered.”
“Nobody likes that.”
“Just because you’re in the top 2 pros doesn’t mean you have to have hidden assets.”
” that.
“I heard dragons have a lot of money.”
“Because they are a greedy species.”
“You know what I’m going to do, right?” Alex scratched his cheek.
“Yes, that is true.”
“Are you going to stop me?”
“Are you going to stop me?”
“no. But they say they are neutral with the dragon race.”
“Are you worried about the demon world now?”
“Who said that…
I happened to make eye contact with a dragon flying above my head.
A pair of magical eyes standing on a charred field and staring at a dragon.
Alex felt an eerie pleasure at the magical energy emanating from Deus’ body.
This person was truly born into the devil’s arms.
The place where the dragons lived was not the continent of Jose.
It was possible to go to the original world through the crystal portal, and the dragon’s lair refers to the crystal portal.
It was usually located in a cave and the entrance was hidden in a labyrinth, making it a frequent training place for adventurers.
If you offend the dragon, it will bring about a national disaster.
It is a foregone conclusion that the castle will disappear, and only when the king offers a sacrifice can the matter be resolved.
Or a D-class hero will appear and punish them.
Deus stood on the spire above the castle wall and looked straight at the sky.
” Alex.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“It’s true that dragons are rich, right?”
“Because they live for more than a thousand years.”
“A thousand years.”
“Even if you just worked for a daily wage for a thousand years, the amount of money you would have accumulated would be enormous.”
“Would a dragon do something like that?”
“I don’t know. “Because they are a species that enjoys turning into humans and mixing in with the human world.”
“Why do you like that?”
“The land of dragons is in a pocket of the dimension, so in order to get to each other’s nest, you must pass through the continent of Jose.”
“You have no choice but to go through the human world.”
“yes. “If you pass by stomping around in the form of a dragon, it’s easy for a war to break out, so there are many cases where you pass by quietly in the form of a human.”
“Then why are you doing that?”
“Ask directly. “Isn’t that what you meant to do?”
“Well, I’m not curious about the story. I’m curious about whether there’s money.”
