Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 134

31. Overwhelmed by the Demon King (2)

Halfway up Mount Igaiatta.

There was something about the evil throne.

The power that never felt insufficient for the name Demon King was pressuring us more and more strongly.

Here, only the rhythm could be felt.

If the embodiment of pure evil moves, as Sadimus said, this side will not escape annihilation.

Is it right to let him die? Or should Jin Geum-yong throw off his human mask and step forward?

Everyone was talking about the oracle, but Yulgeum actually heard nothing.

At that time, Skatul opened his mouth in a voice that only Yulgeum could hear.

“Who can guarantee that all of this is not a trap of Deus himself?”

Yulgeum glanced at him. She sarcastically spoke in words that could not be heard by those around her.

“It seems like you are closer to the Satan mentioned in the Bible.”

Scatul bowed his head and gave a jester’s greeting.

“Satan is too mean a name for the owner of the crown to utter.”

“The fact that you are still here probably means that the matter has not been concluded. Who is the target? Is it Deus? Or is it Zeke?”

“I don’t think there is much difference between what the victorious monarch I serve wants and what the owner of the crown wants.”

“This is a harmonious path?”

“yes.”

“good night. “I will also watch further.”

“Do whatever you wish.”

I heard people’s voices again.

Yulgeum glanced at Scatul, who was acting like a fool, and then turned his eyes to the battlefield.

The most valuable thing here is human life.

The bodies were already piled up and the flowing blood formed a cloth.

“Has it begun?”

Deus was bleeding from his forehead.

It wasn’t just the forehead.

My right arm was shaking as if the elbow joint had been broken.

Licking the blood that had flowed from between his eyebrows to his lips, he glared at the being in front of him.

“Anyway, how do I do this?”

What was blocking his path was a red bird.

The name of the burning bird is Suzak.

The red bird that flew out of the volcano’s nest

crouched on the back of Mount Agaiatta and challenged Deus to battle.

“Hey bird head. I don’t think it’s time to play with you. “Where on earth did it come out of nowhere?”

When the broken joint was put back together, a clicking sound was heard.

Deus regenerated his torn body and glared at Suzaku.

Yulgeum said that it was Suzaku’s illusion.

But that can’t be true. There is no way Suzaku’s illusion could be this strong.

Although he was said to be wearing a human body, he was actually a demon lord.

The absolute person who can bring the world to its knees with just his spirit is the Demon King.

Even though I didn’t do my best, I can’t believe I’m being beaten so one-sidedly!

The being in front of me was truly an immeasurable force.

I glanced behind me.

Nezar was smoking some tea far away.

“Slave No. 3, why don’t you fight for me?”

“Oh my gosh, where do you think my abilities will get me? “Giggle.”

“Oh, I really want to kill you.”

“Don’t be too angry. I’ll take care of your body. Or would you please return the Almighty Bracelet?”

“Why are you telling me that? “Talk to Yulgeum.”

“Just give me permission. “If you have a lightning hammer, you can make it in a matter of minutes.”

“it’s okay. “If you don’t join hands with Suzaku and stab me in the back, you’ll be fine.”

Nezar smiled and shrugged.

“That’s a tempting offer.”

“go away. Go to Zeke and help him.”

“This place looks more fun than that.”

Deus turned his eyes forward.

That red bird was just blocking the way and was not attacking us first.

As if receiving orders from someone.

How can you treat such a powerful being as your servant?

If such a person existed in the world, his name would be God.

Deus slammed his fists together in front of his chest.

A spark erupted at the point of impact and a dark blue flame rose.

The fire burned both his arms.

Even after his skin turned black, the blue flame was still burning on his arm.

“Let me take a look. “It is the power of the one who destroyed the world.”

Deus’ body exploded forward.

It became a blue line and pierced Suzaku’s heart.

Jujak’s body was sucked into the hole located at one point. As if being absorbed into the vortex created by Deus’ body.

But that was just Suzaku’s illusion.

The bird became a red line and pounced on Deus, shattering his body into pieces.

The young blue flames on Deus’s arms and the red flames on Suzaku instantly created hundreds of intersections.

Every time that happened, a storm broke out and Nezar

had to keep taking a step back. He gritted his teeth.

“That bastard… wasn’t he at full strength when he fought me?”

Nezar redrawn the blueprint in his head.

It is impossible to defeat him with Raijin’s hammer alone. It seemed like he needed to study the human magic he had accumulated over the tens of thousands of years he had been asleep.

Meanwhile, while Dongsangmong’s master and slave were stranded by Sookjak,

the war beyond the mountain became more intense.

The army that was at the forefront had already lost more than half of its lives.

Isolta’s cavalry was unable to maintain its ranks and retreated to the rear, and Derux’s wizard corps, which had always fought fierce battles with the demon king’s army, was now reduced to reinforcements for other units.

I was worried about how active I would be in the final war that would take place 20 years later, but I could not ignore the enemy in front of me in order to prepare for future evil.

Above all, this war

was more of a crusade.

The Holy Emperor, who received the oracle, personally declared a holy war.

All countries had no choice but to do their best.

The Beholder army appeared along the ridge.

Hundreds of large eyes shooting out petrifying light appeared, carried on octopus-like legs.

The battle line, which was already barely maintained, was in jeopardy.

The Zodiac Knight, the Guardian of the Constellation, and the knights under his command quickly rode out and

attacked the Beholders.

In an instant, dozens of knights turned into statues on a rock and fell from their horses.

It had been a long time since he had gone to the front to command the knights under Cadenza and Oridondo.

The only people left at the base were the wounded soldiers and a group of priests who had learned healing magic.

Zeke’s younger sister, Signy, who had obtained the Rodemwood Staff of Destruction, was busy going around among the priests and healing the wounded.

A knight with his leg cut off was screaming and pulling people around him indiscriminately.

Then he grabbed Signi by the collar.

The slender body of a 10-year-old girl fell on the bed. I was covered in blood that had soaked the blanket.

The knight screamed as he saw Signy who had fallen on him.

“help me! please! Solve this pain and suffering! “Even if you’re young, you’re still a priest!”

Signi’s identity was still a secret to most of the Knights.

To that knight, she was just a young priest.

The guardian knights left behind by Cadenza tried to protect Signi.

However, Signi did not seem to have any intention of entering their enclosure.

I fell off the bed and laid down my cane.

“God gives us suffering so that by overcoming it, he can light our path to heaven.”

As she recited the prayer, her staff radiated light.

The moment the light hit, the wound on the knight’s leg began to heal. Although I can’t get my severed leg

back, I can at least forget the pain.

The knight shed tears.

Gratitude, resentment, relief, and pain mixed together, and my face collapsed without any expression.

Signi held the knight’s hand and shed tears together.

That wasn’t all.

One by one.

She treated and prayed with the wounded person with all her heart, as if she were a family member.

At first, the Guardian Knights of the Zodiac Knights

expressed concern about Signy’s actions.

It was thought that the young girl was overdoing her childish sympathy.

But after the behavior continued for a few hours, the sincerity hit home.

Yulgeum quietly stayed by Signi’s side.

Although it had only been a few days since he met her, Yulgeum felt like he knew why God had chosen her.

If Zeke was the most heroic warrior, Signy was not lacking in the name of a saint at all.

She possesses the virtues of a saint who loves everyone and is willing to bear their suffering.

Signy stopped for a moment and wiped away tears while leaving one person’s side and going to another injured person.

Eulgeum patted the little girl’s head.

“To love means accepting everything from the other person, you don’t have to become the other person yourself. “Don’t empathize too much.”

“Yes, I’m sorry. Because I’m so lacking…

“I’m doing well. enough.”

Her wand was becoming a darker ivory color.

It seemed that he was beginning to recognize this young saint as his complete master.

“Rodemwood Staff of Destruction…

“Huh?”

“The true mission given to you may be the destruction of an era.”

At that moment, a loud sound came from the front.

The commotion turned into a cry that was close to a scream.

The name of that wave is despair.

The Demon King appeared on the battlefield.

His body was blacker than the abyss.

The surface of the skin was constantly overgrowing and being destroyed, shaking the boundaries of existence like a haze.

A blue flame burned brightly outside the skin.

The flames surrounded his body like armor.

Whatever it touched turned to ashes.

With every step taken, the earth carbonized and all life on it died out.

Devil.

When he, the master of all demons, appeared, all kinds of evil and immoral beings began to run wild with joy.

The battle line collapsed and the human army immediately fell into crisis.

Even the soldiers wearing iron armor were scared and took a step back.

The horse felt as if its four legs were rooted to the ground, and even the archmage’s magic felt as weak as the flapping wings of a firefly or a moth. The Demon King

leapt to where the elite knights of the Zodiac Knights, who were maintaining

the strongest front line, were located.

And then he swung both his forearms towards the knight whose chest was not even full.

Dozens of knights fell, vomiting blood, from the devil’s blow. The knight who was hit directly had his upper and lower body flying away and blood spurting out.

Armor and shields protected by sacred magic were completely powerless in front of the Demon King.

Destroys everything with absolute power.

The Holy Knights gathered their courage and

faced the Demon King.

He did not lower his shield even as his comrade’s skin broke and rained down on him.

He did not turn his eyes forward.

Their singing echoed throughout the battlefield.

– God, take us to heaven!

– Angel, guide us to the right path!

-Death, come willingly to me!

Hundreds of corpses were added again. My life passed away without any worries.

Even the most outstanding warrior could not block the Demon King’s blow.

Stopping the Demon King was a miracle that the greatest warrior of Generation Zero, a final task, could barely accomplish with the protection of an angel.

It was not something ordinary warriors of the 4th generation could do.
