Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 106

24. A guest comes from afar (5)

Segetsu changed his initially negative thoughts about Deus.

The tone was harsh, but the content was sharp.

“The warrior comes first. That seems correct. If that had been the case, Lord Zeke’s abilities would have blossomed much earlier. Money is important. The question is where to spend that money. “If you buy gold and silver treasures and store them in a warehouse, they will just gather dust, but

if you invest in someone like Lord Zeke, even hundreds of millions of dollars are worth it.”

Deus felt something uneasy as he watched Segetsu’s expression change.

It was like teaching him how to make a warrior stronger.

To humans who are, after all, enemies.

At that time, Sadimus was seen catching a golden toad.

Gold leaf sparkled.

“Disband the deacons.”

“Yes, master.”

Deus gave the command and then turned his eyes elsewhere.

Even something like a golden toad crawls up.

It seemed like the road to the demon world had become completely empty.

But for all that…

I couldn’t see a single demon climbing up.

Alex, the guy who caused this tragedy, was also surprisingly quiet.

“Mahon. Demiurge is 665 years old. “Everything was done according to your will.”

Alex

was now lying face down in front of the flickering black flames of the demon world.

“You are the will of the 666th century that has been passed down to our demons. Please tell me. What should I do now?”

“Kyo-ogong.”

“Say yes.”

“Think about what you want to do.”

“It is to return the master to his original position.”

“What is stopping it?”

“It may be hard to believe, but he is a small warrior.”

“A hero.”

“All my attention is on him. “We are doing our best to help him grow.”

“What does it mean? “Are you saying he betrayed us?”

“I don’t think that will be the case. Just…

“Speak clearly.”

“I see it as entertainment.”

“Hahaha! Kyo-ogong, Kyo-ogong! To whom did I lose my body and why am I left with only my soul and have forgotten even the memories of that day? How can someone who abandoned their clan to be with that hero not be a traitor?

Is it entertainment? “Now that you have given up the last bit of strength you have left and turned the human world upside down, the answer you gave is just two words: entertainment?”

“sorry. I just…

“It’s clear what needs to be done.”

“Please give me your name.”

“Make them hate each other. Make war. “Wret out the most miserable war

by stabbing and cutting down the living and crushing the dead so that they cannot rise again .”

“I will.”

“But it’s not time yet. Secure the passage and prepare to send troops. But now is not the time. “Kyo Goku.”

“Yes, Mahon.”

“You will have to act like a human and do the work yourself. Make your move so that the hero and the devil can become enemies again. Their friendship is the most disgusting curse.”

“I think the same.”

“Move. “On behalf of

me who has no hands or feet .”

“yes.”

Alex bowed his head.

When he raised his eyes again, all he could see was bright red lava defying gravity and rising into the sky.

Mahon was putting all his energy into that.

Magma was being poured into the depths of the Horsespine Mountains so that the volcano could continue to erupt to the ground.

Back to the human world.

Alex let out a long sigh.

“If you get caught, you will 100% die.”

Although it was a trustworthy transformation ability, it was true that the opponent was afraid because he was a demon lord.

After ascending to the surface, the destination he headed to was Acoma in the Kingdom of Verde.

It was a place where Seonghwangcheong was dreamy.

Because the weakest link to separate the two was now in Acoma.

The mountain road leading to Neuekan was in such a state that carriages could not travel.

The group went on for a while and got off the carriage.

Zeke looked up at the sky.

Ominous black clouds occasionally dropped droplets of volcanic dust.

The acrid smell of sulfur was enough to make my nose ache.

Besides, what on earth are those huge black birds flying above?

A huge bird, with its bare skin exposed as if its head had been bald, was seen climbing a high mountain, holding a large deer-like prey in one hand.

Is this really the continent of Jose?

Even the plants changed. There were also a lot of plants growing that I had never seen before, with sharp leaves.

Deus stared at the trees for a while, then turned his head and asked Lache.

“Isn’t that a fern?”

” that’s right.”

“These are things you can’t see on the Jose continent.”

“It must have followed the animal up there. “We are in the middle of a war right now.”

“War? Where?”

Deus looked around.

“The battle between plants is quiet but fierce.”

“If that’s you, then that’s probably it.”

Deus answered this in a voice of complete disbelief and turned his eyes toward the summit.

“It looks like you want to go hiking, something that isn’t even in your list of options. “Anyway, shouldn’t we throw him away somewhere else?”

The person Deus pointed to with his chin was none other than Neuekan’s Vice Mayor Segetz.

“I am also from the mountain town of Neuekan. “I’m confident about climbing the mountain, so don’t worry.”

“You mean you can climb while fighting monsters?”

“That’s what

Yulgeum told Deus.

“Is there anywhere safe around here? “I have no choice but to just take them.”

“Then let the damn woman take responsibility.”

“okay.”

“Let’s go damn it.”

Deus stepped onto the path to heaven.

How long did you walk?

Deus said, looking back at Zeke.

“Do you know what I hate the most?”

“I don’t know.”

“I’m going up the mountain. Do you know why I hate it?”

“well.”

“You have to work hard to get down.”

“I’m sorry.”

“When I think about it, it’s because of you. By going out of his way to save people. But no matter how you look at it, doesn’t it seem too late? “Don’t you feel like you’re being popular?”

“He will be alive. Otherwise…

“What if?”

“I feel so sad.”

Zeke smiled slightly.

But it clearly wasn’t laughter.

Looking at that awkward expression, Deus sighed briefly.

He said, rubbing Zeke’s hair.

“Okay, okay, let’s say he’s alive. Well then, shall we hurry up and take a look? butler!”

“Yes, master.”

“Use your flight magic appropriately.”

“When did flying magic become appropriate magic?”

Despite his grumbling, Skatul

cast the flight spell on all of the group without much effort. Deus immediately flew towards the mountain ridge.

Zeke and Deputy Mayor Segetsu, who were not familiar with flight magic, climbed the mountain a step late with Yulgeum helping them.

Thanks to the flight magic, there was no trouble walking up, but it attracted much more attention from the monster.

In an instant, three or four polluted buzzards attacked Deus, saying they wanted to eat him.

Of course, it was the bald eagle that became the prey.

Yulgeum followed the man who grilled three giant sea eagles and threw them away.

“Is that also a creature that lived in the past?”

“Yes, call me Locke.”

“lock?”

“It was also called a mutual aid (象鳥).”

“Are you saying it’s an elephant bird?”

“It looks like all the hair has fallen out because it was contaminated with mugwort.”

“What kind of era was the Age of Gold? “Did such powerful and gigantic animals live in groups?”

“It couldn’t have been that big.”

“So you’re saying it’s Mugwort’s fault?”

« 0 » Hmm.

“The humans of the Golden Age

are truly incredible wizards.”

“It was called technology, but

by today’s standards, it is not.” “Now that I think about it

, don’t they also know the technology

of the Golden Age ?”

“If only at a superficial level. “It’s just about using things

that already exist .”

“Why don’t dragons use their power

?”

“Dragons don’t know.”

“ah! It is said that dragons were born in the Silver Age

. Wait a minute… so you’re not a dragon?”

“Secret”

Yulgeum smiled and took a step back.

It was because Segetsu was screaming while being chased by Locke.

Deus clicked his tongue and sent out a ball of flame.

The fragrant smell of chicken being grilled over charcoal was overwhelming.

After several more skirmishes with flying monsters, one that was close to massacre, the party

was finally able to arrive at the location of Arms Fortress.

And for the first time, traces of the Holy Knights could be found.

Broken sword and broken shield.

And blood stains.

Zeke’s heart grew cold as he looked at them.

There were several bodies following the blood trail.

The body was taken to the Neuekan direction.

Zeke held the shield in his hand and drew his sword.

I took heavy steps and moved forward

.

A body was seen.

A face distorted in fear.

The muscles in my chest were tattered like an old flag.

He was crawling somewhere.

He must have groped on the dirt floor to survive before his lower body disappeared.

Zeke looked at his face.

Will I remember him?

I must have encountered it several times as I came down the mountain from Neuekan over the next few days.

I wanted to remember.

If not, I think his death will be so miserable.

But in the end, Zeke couldn’t remember who he was.

Three bodies were tangled together.

It looks like they had their backs to protect each other.

In that state, he was skewered. Is it a giant? Or is it some other monster?

I couldn’t figure it out. It can only be inferred that the opponent’s power is so strong that it is uncanny.

Zeke passed by them. My steps became heavier.

It felt like thick mud was up to my ankles.

I couldn’t stop walking. I didn’t know if I would collapse if I did that.

let’s go.

I hope this tragedy is still unfolding.

In order to end the tragedy, the killing must not have stopped yet.

“Aaaah!”

Zeke screamed and started running.

Deus looked at him from afar and said something.

“idiot!”

Zeke’s shout echoed far away.

The quiet air began to stir and monsters began to burp.

A centipede blocked Zeke’s path.

It was a giant centipede, with each of its many legs bigger than a human’s.

The front teeth, which were dark green with venom, lunged at Zeke to bite him.

At that moment, a brilliant light emanated from Zeke’s entire body.

As long as the aura protected him,

there was no way he would be hurt by the monster’s attack.

The sword created a holy cross and the centipede’s body was broken into four pieces and scattered.

After defeating the giant centipede in an instant, Zeke ran down the road from Arms Fortress to Neuekan.

That was a runaway.

Zeke didn’t realize what he was doing right now.

The power of the monster that occupied Neuekan was great. Some were comparable to dragons.

No, there was something even stronger than that

.

However, Zeke did not seem to recognize who the opponent was.

Fear and fear Hesitancy that one might be defeated. Nothing remained inside him.

Just move forward. Run.

I cut down anything that was blocking, and if I couldn’t cut it in one go, I cut it two or three times.

Rushing headfirst down the road, Arthur destroyed everything.

Although he cut down countless monsters along the two-kilometer road, he did not get tired.
