Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 180
41. Meeting Signy (3)
In fact, neither of them had any intention of confronting Zeke head on.
Risking your life in a battle with little chance of victory. There was no way a demon would do such a foolish thing.
However, I couldn’t turn my tail and run away.
That also didn’t match the aesthetics of the demons.
Retreat is always accompanied by a cause. Combat is
only possible when you take advantage of your opponent’s weakness.
Shantrina opened her mouth again.
“Signi is currently on the top floor of the Demon King’s Castle. I’m doing well. And now my lord is not in the demon world. We cannot let Signi go now that the Demon King is away. Do you understand what I mean?”
“It’s a fight with no way out for either side.”
“that’s right. We must fight until the moment the last demon dies. I already know that your abilities are great
, but in the entire Demon World, the only end is death. Would my sister really want that?’ “How about doing this instead?”
“Let’s hear the story.”
“I will let you meet Signy. However, you cannot take it with you. “You can discuss that matter with your lord later.”
Shantrina opened the way.
Seiton also cleared his throat and stepped back.
“If Lord Yuk-yuk has decided that way, I have no choice but to follow.”
Zeke slightly bowed his head towards the two dukes of the Demon World.
humans and demons.
Although they had no choice but to become enemies, Zeke’s feelings were complicated due to his gratitude towards Deus.
If I met Signy without fighting, my first goal would have been achieved.
Accepting their favor, Zeke immediately climbed to the top of the Demon Castle.
The final door was wide open.
I could see her through the large terrace window.
Signi is sitting on a chair and looking at the distant sky.
Zeke approached Signy.
The moment I opened the terrace door, two windows blocked my path.
It wasn’t from the demon world. Zeke was startled and looked to the side to see two men with dragon eyes guarding SIGNI.
“The Silver Seomryong is a spear that protects Jingeum. “The boundaries of the window must not be exceeded.”
Silver Bone Dragon They gave a heavy warning.
But their warnings were meaningless.
SIGNI found Zeke. She climbed over the window and hugged Zeke.
“Brother!”
“Signi! “Are you okay?”
“are you okay. “I’m fine.”
“Then why are you crying?”
“I don’t know. “Why are I crying?”
Signy wiped away her tears and Zeke hugged his sister even tighter.
Eunseomryong were the bodyguards left behind by Yulgeum.
Once it was confirmed that Zeke was not SIGNI’s enemy,
he disappeared beyond the border.
After she calmed down to some extent, Zeke let go of her.
Signy held Zeke’s hand and led him to the terrace.
“I never dreamed that I would see my brother here.”
“There’s no way I’ll leave you alone.”
“But this is… the demon world.”
“What happened? “Did Deus really bring you here?” Zeke took another look at SIGNI. Nothing in particular changed.
Except that he wore
flashy clothes that he rarely wore .
” that’s right.”
“why?”
“Brother.”
Signi’s cheeks blushed as she spoke.
“Don’t be surprised, just listen.”
“What’s going on?”
“The reason I came here… is because of the sword growing on my back.”
Zeke looked at Signy’s back.
A huge sword about 1 meter long.
Because of that hump,
he was driven out of the human world and settled in the land of monsters.
It was a cursed wound, but Signi did not hate it.
“It seems Deus-sama knows what this is?”
“yes.”
“really? Then, is there any way to remove it?… Ah! “Did you bring me here to get rid of you?”
“You’re half right.”
“Half. Which half?”
“Onii-sama, you really shouldn’t be surprised.”
“What on earth is going on?”
“This… is not a sword.”
“then?”
Signy turned his head and spoke in a low voice.
“This is Deus’ child.” I’d rather be struck by lightning.
Zeke’s expression hardened.
“..kid?”
” yes.”
“Deus’s child?”
“I say so.”
Zeke stumbled and placed his hand on the railing.
“Wait a minute… I was 10 years old. “This sword first appeared.”
“do not misunderstand. You don’t get pregnant like humans do. Deus didn’t even touch my body. No, I held his hand, but…
Zeke sighed heavily several times, as if he was having trouble breathing.
“Brother! are you okay?”
“Oh uh… it’s okay.”
“Please sit here.”
He pulled out a chair and placed it next to him. Zeke shook his head.
“No, tell me in detail. “What on earth happened?”
“When I died… no, it was at the border between death and life. “The messengers of the living tried to take my soul, but Deus protected me.”
“I know that story.”
“There was only one way to avoid losing me to them. Deus didn’t let go of my hand even for a single day during that year. But it looks like the Demon King can make a child just by doing that.”
As Zeke listened to that story, numerous thoughts came to mind.
“It was just an accident.”
“Don’t say it so lightly. “You…”
“I feel like I’m the main character of some kind of myth.”
“Signi!”
“Brother. It just happens. Don’t take it seriously. I came back from the dead. At first, I was just confused about it. I received so many blessings from Deus. “If you think of it as a replacement, it’s not a bad idea to raise his child within me.”
Zeke took another look at SIGNI.
That gorgeous outfit caught my eye again.
“You’re not trying to live as the queen of the demon world, are you?”
“I…
“I can’t allow that. If you want the devil’s child, give it to him. And you come back to earth. “I have to get that promise from Deus.”
“Brother, I…
“Signi, you are a saint. “Holy jade blood flows through your body.”
“This child is also my child!”
Zeke looked into Signy’s eyes.
The blood flowing through her also belongs to a warrior. There was stubbornness in the eyes.
“Brother, this child is mine. “Can’t you bless me?”
Zeke let out a long sigh.
Signy was treated as a witch simply because an unidentified black lump had appeared.
What on earth will you hear if you give birth to the devil’s child?
I didn’t want my sister to be unhappy anymore.
“I need to meet Deus. “Where are you now
?”
“I’m not going to tell you.”
“why?”
“There’s something Deus said out of habit. “If Zeke finds out about this, he will die.”
“Who…
“Are you not going to be angry? Dear Deus? “He is the man who got my sister pregnant.”
” that.
Zeke trailed off.
Can you really not get angry?
“Mr. Ai, my dreams are disturbed.”
Deus opened his eyes and lost his temper.
“Can’t you drive this little buggy calmly?”
“It’s unfair, my lord! Look at the road here. “It is not a place where you can drive quietly.”
The place where the carriage is running is the outskirts of the demon world. No, it was a wasteland that could not even be called a frontier.
A swamp of mugwort swirled around and covered the peninsula-shaped land. The soil rotted and the plants withered and died from the poison. The carriage
was running through
this terrible land where slime-like monsters roamed .
“I should have gone on a horse instead of a carriage in the first place.”
“You can’t sleep when you’re riding a horse.”
“Why are you sleeping? You are the devil, right? “I can live without sleeping.”
“You say I am the devil? ‘He’s the ruler of the demon world’?”
“Who says no?”
“But can’t I just take a nap on my own?”
“You can sleep, but you shouldn’t criticize a loyalist just because the bed is uncomfortable.”
“Chuungsin?”
“Yes, loyal subject.”
” you’?”
” yes.”
“hello. Have you already forgotten what you did 10 years ago? Looks like a handy eraser dog is on his mind. “I only erase memories that are unfavorable to me.”
“It was all done out of loyalty.”
“If you are faithful twice, I will rip out the roots of the pillars of the demon world and eat you? huh?”
“That’s too much!”
Deus yawned long and
turned his head.
Yulgeum was now looking out the window.
“Is there anything fun?”
“huh? Ah… it’s not that big of a deal. “It’s been a while.”
“devildom?”
“Near here.”
“Do you have any memories?”
“Should I call it a memory? “It’s just a simple memory.”
” War?”
“huh. “Because we were God’s representatives.”
“Did they send it to the battlefield instead? “Are you
in a safe place in the back?”
“Don’t speak so lightly of the one and only Lord.”
“are you okay. “Because I am the devil.”
“If you do that, you’re going to hell.”
“This is already hell. Now that I think about it, did Nezar do something with this mugwort?”
“To be exact, they are probably the descendants of Nezar. In the early days of the Gilded Age, humans created formidable weapons. A weapon powerful enough to destroy a city with a single bomb.”
“Early Gilded Age? It’s quite a long time ago
. Why can’t we make something like that now?”
“It’s because God forbids it.”
“God forbid?”
“huh. Weapons made of gunpowder cannot be used. Instead, God gave us magic.”
Yulgeum sighed briefly and continued.
“If there is a real hell, it would be those seven years. Countless bombs containing mugwort’s poison exploded. This was an alpine area near the Himalayas. “Because there weren’t many people living here, we were able to avoid disaster
.”
“Himalayas?”
“Where snow lives.”
“eye? “There’s nothing like that here.”
“It’s an old story. “Junbong is cut off and becomes the continent of Jose, and all that remains is Gis Rock.”
“What about this mugwort swamp?”
“It’s a trace of the Ganges River. “When a continent was created in the sky and it stopped raining, water did not flow as much as before and it turned into a swamp.”
“What was that world like?”
“You mean the Golden Age?”
“Ugh”
“Humanity has prospered. “We have already left the planet and expanded our territory to space.”
“You mean you went to the land of the stars?”
“Phew, starland. “It’s something only children would use.”
“This damn woman is having a fight again.”
“Sorry sorry. But in the end, humanity was unable to leave the solar system and settle down.”
“What is the solar system?”
“A world ruled by the sun.”
“ah!”
“The expanded human race continued to go to war.
“There were times of peace for a few hundred years, but most of the rest was filled with war.”
“What is Adapa?”
“Should I say noble? It was one of many attempts to save humanity from disease and aging. By increasing body mass, natural immunity was increased, and by manipulating genes, i.e. blood, a life close to eternal life was achieved.”
“Did they monopolize that power? Nezar il Paga?”
“that’s right.”
“I saw that the baby was not wrapped up
.”
“I’m not the kind of person that will end up being called a cheap person. Genius brains have long since escaped the limitations of being human. But since I stole the Almighty Bracelet, there’s nothing to worry about.”
“Isn’t the Almighty Bracelet just a weapon?”
“No, it’s some kind of calculator.”
