Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 119
27. Fighting the Giant God (4)
“How many dragons do you need?”
“It depends on the Adapa individual…
“What about that guy?”
“He is special. Because he is the same as the master of the Adapas. “More than 10,000 troops were mobilized to hunt down his seven children.”
“Are you saying the prize is more than 1,000 dragons per Adapa?”
“So you can’t use it as a unit!”
“Because you’re too weak?”
“There are so many variables! Are you going to keep losing your temper?”
“There are that many angels… there are twelve archangels above them.”
“That distinction is just for convenience. “All of them are messengers of God.”
“Are those twelve stronger than me?”
“What are you curious about after all? “Would you like to join us sometime?”
“Aren’t you curious?”
“No, not at all. Because in the first place, there is no way of thinking that determines superiority or inferiority by force. Look at Zeke. “It’s not
worth it just because he’s strong .”
“Of course, that guy’s value as a chef is much higher.”
“Not anything like that, but things like good character or the courage to protect the weak.”
“Why is it worth it?”
Yulgeum shook his head.
“I was stupid to discuss morality with the devil.”
“Now you’re confessing.”
“It’s noisy, so how long are you going to just watch? No matter what, it’s still impossible for Zeke to win. Don’t look down on Nezar .
“He was once the loser of the world.”
“Well, at least it was 70,000 years ago. Anyway, I guess we should sort things out now, right?” Deus intervened between the two.
It was a time when power clashed with power, and the battlefield was in chaos, with lumps of dirt flying in all directions like debris.
But not a single speck of dust could reach Deus.
I stepped and knocked Zeke out. Zeke hit his butt and looked ahead with a puzzled expression. Deus’s fingertips
were seen blocking
Nezar’s club .
So simply and comfortably.
There’s still a long way to go.
He swallowed dryly and calmed his excitement.
Nezar also seemed to have understood his master’s intentions and threw the tree over there.
It was a complex expression.
A child of only ten years old.
I never imagined that I would do my best against low-ranking humans.
If he had had the bracelet, he would have easily won, but on the other hand,
if he had an artifact with similar abilities, the victory or defeat would have gone back to square one.
Humanity has evolved.
A person who has stopped cannot become a high-ranking person in this world.
“The moment the words that I
was defeated reached my throat, Deus spoke.
“Well, let’s say it was a draw. “Still, you take charge of Zeke’s job as a servant for the time being.”
Zeke gasped and stood up.
“How can I have such an outstanding giant as my squire? “It will hurt
a warrior’s pride .”
“The warrior is just a crazy scholar.”
” yes?”
“And who are you going to pity? How can you take the giant’s castle if you can’t even win that one? huh?”
“sorry.”
“The attack on Zorix Castle will pause for a moment until you defeat him. Make it from your seed. okay?”
Zeke was intimidated by Deus’s forceful tone and ended up answering yes without realizing it.
“Nezar.”
“Yes, master.”
“Come back to human form.”
” yes.”
Nezar sighed long and transformed into human form.
The next morning.
Deus introduced Nezar to the group who woke up.
“This is Nezar. “I hired him as Zeke’s squire.”
Nezar lowered his head towards them with his mouth tightly shut.
On the outside, everyone didn’t seem to be that strong.
However, since I had tasted the power of the smallest and most vulnerable Zeke, I did not dare to look down on them.
“First of all, he is my servant, but after Zeke subdues him, I decided to send him as a squire.”
Pity flashed across the faces of several people when they heard the words ‘my servant.’
In particular, in the case of Sadimus and Lakhe, who were forced to sit in front of Chunhyang, I even felt a connection with Nezar. For several days from this day, the party
settled down on the southern hill of
Joryx Castle and observed the surrounding activities.
I didn’t forget to hunt down giants and collect ears whenever I had time.
But Deus actually lost Hongmi in that incident.
He was busy teasing Zeke and Nezar by having them fight against each other.
“sorry.”
While Deus was away, Zeke bowed his head to Nezar.
“what?”
“Because Deus was unreasonable…
Master Nezar was my opponent.”
Nezar looked down at Zeke indifferently.
“Isn’t that what slavery is like? “It must be a luxury to have free will to do what the master tells you.”
“Was Mr. Nezar a free man?”
“There was a time like that. They say you are a warrior. “What kind of game is that?”
“Heroes are people destined to fight against the devil.”
“Devil? “Is this world a battle between the Demon King and the Hero?”
” yes.”
“It’s like a kid’s prank.”
Nezar slumped down in his seat.
I shrunk my body with magic. If you think about it, why would there be no heroes and demon kings in a world with magic?
“I feel like my senses have been completely destroyed. “I can’t even tell what kind of era we are in now.”
“It looks like you came from far away.”
“According to what Deus said, it seemed like it was in the distant past. “Close to 700 centuries.”
“ah! “It’s like a myth.”
“It’s a myth. “What is your god?” At the mention of you guys, Zeke looked at Nezar again.
He was a giant. I didn’t know if it was natural to have a different religion.
“The Lord created the world for humans. He created light in chaos and created the sky, the earth, the sea, mountains, rivers, and animals one by one. “He must have been a benevolent person because he created humans on the last day and found them very nice.”
Nezar smiled bitterly as he listened to Zeke’s words.
The god they served and the god they knew seemed to be the same.
“Why did that omnipotent god allow the existence of the devil?”
Zeke responded in a calm voice to the words he said without much thought.
“It is said that the devil was originally the head of the angels. However, I always questioned the things the Lord had given me and was lazy in doing them, so I ended up receiving a heavy punishment. It is said that the angel, fearful of punishment, fled to purgatory and established a new kingdom there. “That is the demon world.”
“Head of the angels? Lucifer? Or is it Metatron?”
“You know the myth. “Lucifer.”
“Is it him? “I didn’t feel like betraying God.”
When I spoke as if I knew God, Zeke ended up laughing.
Like Deus, he too seems to be a weirdo.
“ Meanwhile,
Nezar thought of Zeke and Deus side by side.
Who
would be better to serve as master?
Of course, it wasn’t about finding a good owner. Who is more forgiving? And under whom will it be easier to find strength?
Of course, that opponent was Zeke.
“If I become your servant, will you give me some freedom?”
“What kind of freedom do you mean?”
“A small room will do. “The freedom of not having to report to you whatever I do there.”
“It’s not that difficult. But even if it wasn’t me, Deus
would probably look in, right? “He may be my squire because he likes words, but in the end, he is just like Deus’s slave.”
” is it.”
Nezar crossed his arms.
Become Zeke’s squire. And it separates the two.
If you do that, you will have more time to do research.
Bracelet of Almighty and Servant of the Stars. And even a barbell.
First of all, if you can complete the Almighty Bracelet in even the simplest form, then it will be a piece of cake.
If we mix that with the power that modern humans have perfected over the past 700 centuries, we will be able to turn the world into our own once again.
“Even so, it would be better for me to become your squire. He…
“As you will know from experience, Deus is a good person.”
Nezar snorted.
“Which one would be closer to the devil?”
“Haha, you’re the manager.”
After a while, Nezar told Deus his decision when he returned.
“Do you want to become Zeke’s squire?”
” yes.”
“You said you don’t want to do it because it hurts your pride?”
“Fighting with him, I got to know his mentality. “He was a good man.”
“Because he is a hero.”
“I decided to become his squire because I thought it would bother me less than it bothers you.”
“Do whatever you want. But don’t be mistaken, because it doesn’t change the fact that you have to follow my orders.”
Deus said this and pulled out a piece of paper from the air.
It was the contract signed with Nezar.
I modified a few phrases by eye. It was about changing the owner from Deus to Zeke.
After changing the contents of the contract, Deus opened his mouth as if spitting.
“I changed the owner because I thought Zeke would be easier, but he is much more picky than me.”
“But still better than you.”
“good. “Then Zeke’s training should be over by now, so shall we try to get Joryx Castle back?”
Zeke was surprised and asked Deus back.
“Can you think of a good strategy?”
“There’s no need for a strategy. As long as we have Nezar, taking back Joryx Castle is easier than flipping the palm of your hand.”
“Are you Mr. Nezar?”
“What is it? Now I’m your squire. “You can call me dog or cow.”
“Oh, I see. Mr. Nezar, now I will just call you by your name.”
“You can’t even use polite language. “No master would use honorifics toward his servants.”
“Yes, yes.”
Zeke stuttered for a moment, as if it was awkward, and then looked at Deus again.
“Why on earth did you give Nezar to me? “Squires don’t suit me.”
“Are you saying it doesn’t suit me?”
“That’s because I decided to serve Deus for the rest of my life.”
“Good posture.”
” Yes?”
“But wouldn’t it be convenient to have one? “It’s much easier when you have assistance when cooking.”
“That’s right, but…
“You can also ask me to bring vegetables or something from the food warehouse.”
” Yes.”
“You can have all the giants of Zoryx Castle under your control.”
“That could be possible… yes?”
“Nezar he is the father of all giants. “You could say he is the god of giants.”
” yes?”
“Can’t you hear clearly? “Would you like me to dig your earlobes?”
“No, I can hear you fine. I can hear you well. But he is the god of giants.”
“There is such a thing.”
“So, Nezar… can control giants?”
“yes.”
“Any giant?” Deus looked at Nezar.
“Is that so?”
“As I said before, this is on the premise that the chain of obedience I planted remains.”
“I said there would be some Yulgeum left.”
“Then everyone will obey me.”
Deus turned his head to Zeke.
“That’s right.”
Zeke made a blank expression.
God of giants?
Why is such a being here serving as someone else’s slave?
Questions welled up in my mind, but I held them back and swallowed them.
“If we borrow Nezar’s power, we can defeat the giants, right? Then let’s do it right now.”
“I was curious too. Then, Zeke, you give the order.”
Zeke nodded and looked at Nezar.
“God of the giants, you who hear my commands. “Please order the giants staying in Zoryx Castle and its vicinity to vacate the land immediately and leave!”
Nezar bowed his head.
“I will follow your orders, master.”
