Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 118
27. Fighting with the Giant God (3)
Deus clicked his tongue at Yulgeum.
“Why are you stealing other people’s slaves?”
“It’s because of you. “If you get your hands on a relic from the Golden Age, I think I’ll have sleepless days as well.”
“What a waste. “That’s why I wanted to make this guy a slave.”
“That’s why I got rid of it.”
Yulgeum sighed briefly and looked at Nezar.
“I will forget the past. At least I won’t hold you responsible for that original sin. “Think of it as me taking your bracelet away.”
Nezar looked at Yulgeum and muttered to himself that it was such a big deal.
Deus said to Yulgeum.
“Rather, try reducing the size of this guy. “You can’t carry him around at this size.”
“Why don’t you do that yourself?”
“If you cast a magic spell from the demon world, a paladin with a sensitive sense of smell might attack you.”
“Well… I’m with Zodiac Knight.”
Yulgeum reached out to Nezar’s body.
“I will teach you a magic that will allow you to change into the size of an ordinary human. “I’ll engrave it in your mind, so you can change yourself.”
Blue light jumped from her fingertips to Nezar’s eyebrows.
Nezar was startled and trembled.
“Is this magic?
” “It’ll take a long time for you to understand what I mean. “Let’s memorize the spell first.”
Nezar followed Yulgeum’s words and recited the words that came to mind.
The body radiated light. And his height shrank to about 2 meters.
Although he was still large for a human, he did not fall into the category of giants.
The heavily muscled Nezhar was at least human on the outside, except for the hole where his heart was.
“You said you were the father of all giants, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Good good. “So can you command giants
?”
“Originally, a piece of inheritance was engraved on the bodies of the Adapas that they could not disobey, but I am not sure if it has been passed down to this day.”
“It would be nice if I only understood half of it.” Yulgeum glanced at Deus.
“Anyway, you are too clever.”
“what?”
“As soon as you get your hands on it, you realize how to use the tool in the most dangerous way…
“It’s a bit odd for a compliment.”
“It’s a compliment. That’s a huge compliment too.
You’ll find out soon anyway, so I’ll tell you. All the giants that exist in the world now have no choice but to follow this man’s orders. “That was the real power of the ruling class of the Adapas.”
“You committed fraud against humans.”
“They sold a modification program that said you could evolve into a higher-level human, but in reality, there was an absurd poison hidden in it.”
“He must have become the ruler of humans in an instant.”
Nezar looked away and Deus tapped his shoulder.
“I like it better. “If you do it right, I will make you leader of my servants.”
“I’m not particularly happy about it.”
Deus continued talking as if he was not listening to him.
“He is the god of giants. That means Jorik’s problem has been easily resolved.”
” that’s right.”
“I’m sure it’s your guarantee. “Then shall we go?”
Deus
climbed the spiral stairs again with the gait of a triumphant general.
Nezar sighed and followed after him.
I was ready to stab him in the back at any time, but not right away.
First of all, I needed information about the current world.
And finally, Yulgeum looked at the two and shook her head.
It felt as if a slightly dangerous card had fallen into his hands.
But…
“They’re not moving yet, so… it’s probably okay to leave them alone.”
“What are you babbling about? Follow me quickly. “Just because there are more servants doesn’t mean your work disappears.”
“Just give me my salary straight.”
“If I succeed greatly, I will repay you with interest.”
“Typical scammer comment.”
By the time we got back to the ground, everyone in the group was asleep.
And the moment he got there, Nezar realized that he had been scammed.
“What is evolution…. What
is technological development over 700 centuries! “You’ve completely regressed!”
In his view, humans were extremely weak.
The mental energy called magical energy did not feel powerful in a body that seemed to break if held.
The power of Deus, who controlled him, was considerable, but in this world, he seemed to have the power of a mutant.
After looking at Zeke and the two paladins, Skatul and Sadimus Rake, who were sleeping around the campfire, Nezar let out a long sigh.
“Half right and half wrong. “Do you want to check?”
Deus snapped his fingers.
Zeke opened his eyes brightly, as if someone approached him and woke him up.
I looked around with a surprised expression and made eye contact with Deus.
“Lord Deus!”
Deus put his finger in the middle of his lips.
“Shh, follow me.”
“Yes yes!”
Deus took Zeke up the hill behind him.
This was where Zeke usually trained.
He met a few giants along the way, but only had his life and ears taken away by Deus.
Deus spoke to Nezar in a large clearing.
“It’s okay to go back to your original form.”
“With the strength of my body, I could crush a boy like that in one fell swoop.”
“Do it if you can.”
Zeke was surprised to see Nezar grow to a gigantic size.
“What on earth is going on?”
“Well, just fight first. “If you win, I’ll give this guy to you.”
“yes? What is that…
“Don’t you think you need a seed too?” Nezar frowned at what Deus suddenly said.
But what really surprised me was Yulgeum.
“excuse me! that!”
“why?”
“Knowing the true value of interest…
“I’ve been thinking about it.” Deus smiled and crossed his arms. “
It seems like I’ll get in trouble if I keep it, right ?
I suddenly remembered the story of the damn woman who wondered what the balance of the world was like. On the other hand, everyone is generous to heroes, right? If Zeke owns that guy and I control him as I want, then it feels like it’s mine, but it’s not mine, right? After all, a guy like me is a genius.”
Putting self-praise aside, I had no choice but to acknowledge the rules.
Deus was realizing the balance of the world without realizing it.
I still don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing in this world.
Nezar looked around and uprooted a tree. It was a huge tree with a trunk of about a foot.
The plan was to fight using the root as a hammerhead.
“Then let’s begin.”
He really meant to kill Zeke.
In the first place, I did not have the personality to be an obedient slave to others.
The reason I made the contract was actually with the intention of turning everything into nothing by killing the contract partner, Deus, as soon as I was released from the seal.
Unfortunately, the opponent was outsmarted and his nose was pierced.
However, I had no intention of being sold to another guy like an object.
If you beat that little guy to death, you’re ruining the owner(?)’s work.
Just thinking about it made Nezar feel better.
He hit the tree root with a grinning face.
Quang!
A tree root collided with something metal.
The metal gave off a brilliant light.
“Is this… a photon? “This is incredibly high-
density light!”
In an instant, the tree roots dried up.
Even before the waves of the first attack subsided, I saw Zeke’s small body quickly burrowing underneath me.
Nezar lifted his foot and tried to trample Zeke.
The length of the sole alone was well over 1 meter.
Zeke quickly rolled on the floor.
Then Deus shouted.
“It’s okay to attack. “That bastard
won’t die from your attack.”
“Four four.”
Once again Zeke approached, and Nezar tried to trample him in the same way.
But right after that, a burning pain rose up the bottom of my foot.
The sole of my foot was cut.
Nezar screamed.
“What a rat!”
I didn’t think I would get cut.
The sword he was holding seemed to have been specially processed, but it was probably made of metal or something.
Adapa’s skin
cannot be cut by a sharply sharpened blade.
That pride led to a complacent response and led to great hurt.
Nezar changed his mind.
This little human is something more than meets the eye.
I glanced at my wrist.
If I had Raijin’s hammer, I would have been able to clean it up easily…
What on earth is that woman named Yulgeum that made her break the bracelet in one go?
While I was lost in other thoughts for a moment, Zeke’s attack continued.
The ligaments in my thighs, knees and calves were brutally cut.
Nezar glared at Zeke with an annoyed expression.
The boy hiding behind the shield swings his sword again.
It was absurd.
Who would have thought that you would be fighting a sword-wielding fighter who disappeared decades ago!
I was almost laughing at the sight of myself fighting with tree roots.
Why on earth has the world become like this?
I shook my head,
wondering if I was dreaming .
Zeke did his best to face the giant named Nezar.
I had no idea what Deus’s plan was to encourage this fight.
But I had no doubts.
That it will help you take a step forward.
The giant was strong.
He was 2 to 3 times larger than any other giant and had tremendous destructive power, as if he were a superior species.
It was a relief to be able to swing a tree trunk without a weapon.
If I had picked up a blunt object made of iron, it would have taken much more force to stop it.
A shield containing an aura blocked the tree roots coming down from the ceiling.
A vibration went through my entire body, as if the heavens and earth were shaking.
I stepped forward on my tingling toes and swung my sword.
The aura carried by the sword left deep scratches on the giant’s skin.
Surprisingly, the giant’s body
recovered in an instant.
The blood welled up as if it were alive and covered the skin.
As I looked away, only a light scratch remained on my skin.
It didn’t take long for it to completely disappear.
The fight was not easy because of that ghost-like resilience. If it weren’t for that, I thought we would have won much sooner.
Zeke swung his sword in a trance and put his shield forward.
When hit head-on, the entire body
floats into the air. Even at that moment, I couldn’t relax to block the giant’s attack again.
He crouched down and hid inside his shield.
A scenery as if the sky was flying in two unfolded, and tree trunks cut through the wind and hit the shield.
thud!
It fell as if it would hit the ground.
But Zeke’s feet still moved.
He ran and cut the giant’s Achilles heel.
As Deus watched the two fight, he
clenched his fists without realizing it.
The power of the giant and Zeke’s solid defense that blocks it.
Both sides were putting up a huge fight.
Of course, it was at a much lower level than he was, but the fight was so intense that you couldn’t even remember that fact.
“Zeek-kun has really gotten stronger.”
Yulgeum also seemed surprised.
“yes?”
“huh. “No matter how much the Bracelet of Almighty was taken away, the name is Adapa.”
“Are you that strong?”
“Because even an ordinary Adapa could fight angels if he had the Almighty Bracelet.”
“angel? Is it strong? How many dragons do you have?”
“I told you not to use my children as a unit!”
“Then what are you going to compare it with?”
“Something like a giant.”
“You’re too weak. “One dragon can chew through dozens or hundreds of giants.”
“That’s true, but. okay. As I said before, dragons are beings born to hunt Adapa .
A type of artificial life form created by combining the characteristics of powerful creatures. “I infused it with magic and made it more powerful. Still, I can’t fight Adapa alone.”
