Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 182

42. To be tempted ⑴

“I am about to fight again.”

“Then let’s try dialogue and coexistence? “With those pighorns?”

“Don’t give the Chimera strange names.”

“good. Then come and talk. “Dialogue and coexistence are your roles.”

“This is your test.”

“Maybe the test is about making good use of people around you, right? So, you

must have come too.”

“no. never.”

“You seem unsure. conversation.”

“There is no use in provoking me.”

“Then what should we do? “If you can’t defeat it and you can’t even talk to it.”

“I don’t know either. “That’s the one taking the test.”

At that moment, Chimaera turned her head and looked at Deus.

It growls. It lunged at me like it was exploding and tried to bite me.

If the chain had been one meter longer, Deus’ head

would have been in the monster’s mouth.

“I’m shocked, you rotten bastard!”

Deus kicked Chimera’s muzzle with his foot.

There was a dull thud.

My toes hurt.

Deus was a little surprised by the sensation he felt for the first time.

“No way… am I weaker than that guy?”

Yulgeum sighed.

“Are you finally understanding the situation? “You are incredibly weak.”

“As much as a D-class hero?”

” more.”

“Grade G? no? Class A? “Eh… you can’t even get to level 1?”

“Do you remember when you first met Zeke?”

“uh. “Is it really that much?”

Yulgeum nodded.

Deus looked down at his hands.

“You became human?”

“that’s right. “I’m an ordinary human being.”

The Chimera struggled, pulling the chain taut. It tried to bite Deus with its monstrous teeth.

The saliva soaked the floor.

His breath brushed his hair. There was a rattling noise.

The lion’s front paw stretched out about an inch further.

A claw grazed the tip of his nose, leaving a long blood stain on his cheek.

Deus took a step back.

“What is this? “Why are my shoulders stiff?”

“I think it’s the first time I’ve felt this since I was born. “That feeling is fear.”

“Shit! “It can’t be!”

Deus ran forward. I struck the monster’s chin with my fist.

Immediately after that, a tremendous pain swept through my body. My vision darkened.

It was later that I found out that I had been bitten by a monster.

The monster bit Deus’ head whole and shook off his head. The body was torn apart and the rest of the body fell to the ground, leaving only the upper part of the shoulder.

Deus became unconscious from the intense pain.

The head is crushed by the teeth. The sound of bones breaking went beyond my ears and was imprinted in my mind.

I screamed. However, the lungs had fallen to the ground along with the torso.

There was no way the broken jaw could move. The scream disappeared along with a distant consciousness.

How many seconds passed?

Maybe hundreds or even thousands of times that much time had passed.

“Huh!”

Deus opened his eyes again.

Yulgeum was next to him, looking at him with a worried face.

“What the hell!”

” are you okay?”

“at all. “I got eaten by a monster.”

“It looks like the memory still remains there.”

Deus felt his body. All limbs were fine.

Only then did I become aware of my surroundings.

You can see the tower in front of you.

And at the entrance of the tower, there was a name plate with the same name written on it.

Tower of the Chimera. It seemed like

we had returned to the very beginning of the test

.

Deus looked ahead for a moment and then jumped up from his seat.

He walked quickly and threw open the tower door.

Yulgeum was startled and grabbed Deus’ hand.

“Are you going again?”

But the moment he saw Deus’ eyes, Yulgeum had no choice but to let go again.

Deus looked straight ahead with eyes burning with anger.

“You bastards! Who are you biting with that dirty mouth

? “I’ll rip you to pieces!”

Deus ran inside.

Yulgeum looked at his back with a worried expression.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding scenery spun around as if caught in a tornado, and then unfolded again.

And then it appeared again in front of the tower like the jersey thrown by Deus.

It looked like he was dead again.

“This is a space of eternity. Baekho is too playful. Or rather, are you serious?”

Yulgeum walked in front of Deus, who was sitting dazedly.

The shine returned to his eyes.

He cursed and opened the tower door again.

It seemed like he ran away and died again.

Yulgeum gave up the idea of stopping him.

I knew he was stupid, but…

I didn’t know he was this stupid. Until you realize it yourself, you have no choice but to leave it alone.

Yulgeum

sat on the railing of the stairs next to the door with her arms crossed.

Deus ran into the tower without even giving her a glance.

I didn’t even count how many times I repeated that stupid thing, it was over 100 times.

Yulgeum grumbled inwardly.

Don’t you have to be stubborn in moderation?

Just because you’re in a bad mood, you recklessly attack an enemy you can’t defeat.

Now it was even disappointing.

It felt pathetic to see him being controlled by his emotions and going wild.

I would have died 300 times.

Yulgeum was almost yawning. I lifted my butt off the railing, thinking I needed to stop him.

Deus’ body bounced out of the tower again.

At that time, I felt a strange sense of rhythm.

I was unable to stop Deus because I was trying to figure out the identity of that strange feeling.

Deus entered the tower once again.

“One, two, three, four, five…. seventy-nine, eighty…. two hundred and thirty-three.”

He falls in front of the tower again. After swearing once, I gritted my teeth and ran back into the tower.

After he disappeared, Yulgeum started counting.

This time, it was well over three hundred, and it was not until six hundred that Deus appeared again.

600 seconds.

This was the time it took for Deus to enter the tower and die. It’s almost 10 minutes.

At some point, the numbers began to increase exponentially. This was the identity of the sense of heterogeneity that Yulgeum felt.

Currently, Deus’s combat ability was at a level slightly higher than that of an ordinary human.

At a high level, he was at the level of a skilled knight.

On the other hand, Chimaera at the entrance could only be dealt with by an A-level hero.

“Fighting for more than 10 minutes?”

Unless Deus was wasting time talking to the monster, the time it took to be defeated was continuously increasing

.

What on earth is going on in there?

I couldn’t bear to wonder.

Yulgeum put her hand on the doorknob.

Then the door opened again.

A man covered in blood sticks his head out.

“Can a damn woman heal?” It was Deus.

“Now wait a minute.”

Yulgeum memorized a magic spell. Light rose from the palm and enveloped Deus’ body.

Her magical power had almost dropped to the bottom. Still, it was possible to treat urgent wounds right away.

Deus sighed and leaned against the door.

“I thought I was going to die.”

“So don’t do anything reckless.” Deus smiled at Yulgeum’s worried voice and made a V shape with his fingers.

“Aren’t you going to congratulate me on my first win?”

Yulgeum, startled, turned his head into the hallway.

Chimera turned over and fell asleep

.

“You won…?”

It was hard to believe.

“how?”

“I turned around and kicked him in the temple.”

“That’s not what you said!”

“I had a hard time because my body wasn’t used to fighting without my magic spirit. lets think. It’s like suddenly being reduced to just one arm and one leg, right? “Even though I know I have no power, I keep relying on it.”

“I guess so. “Because my strength suddenly disappeared

.”

“But if you want to win, you have to get used to it, right? Fortunately, this is a virtual space, so it doesn’t matter if I die. Because we keep clashing, we eventually win hahaha. Bow down to my greatness.”

“Then it’s not that you keep attacking because you’re angry…

“It’s like repetitive training. Are you ready to become an A-level hero now? “Then let’s go to the second floor.”

“What a fool!”

” what?”

“Come this way.”

Yulgeum took Deus with him and returned to the scene of the fierce battle.

There were many scratch marks on the floor.

“Why would you tie a string to the Chimera? Look at the traces left behind. From here to here, the Chimera cannot reach. “You can take the stairs leading to the second floor through here.”

” uh?”

“Why would you show such a monster to someone who has no power? “It doesn’t mean you should pass by without fighting.”

“ah!”

“You’re amazing for hitting that.”

“Isn’t it amazing?”

“It’s not a compliment!”

“Still, the conclusion is the same. “I’m not nice enough to let a guy with his claws on me go.”

“What a shame, Demon King.”

“Then, let’s go to the second floor in peace!”

The one on the second floor was also Chimera.

His appearance was completely different from the guy on the first floor. Originally, Chimera

was the common name for a composite tree.

Depending on which animal’s genes were mixed with it, it would change into something completely different.

The moment Deus saw the Chimera, he tilted his head.

“Isn’t that… a dragon?” Yulgeum also hardened his expression slightly.

“It’s quite primitive, but it seems that way.”

“Did you say it was for a fairy?”

“huh. Green jade dragons are representative.”

“The body of a snake with colorful membrane-like wings like those of a butterfly…

Is the face a type of lizard?”

“It’s a life with a dragon motif.”

“It’s a dragon. What do you mean the dragon is inspired by a dragon?”

“Because dragons are originally imaginary animals.”

“I have no idea what you’re saying.”

“I just know that. “The dragon is the realization of imagination.”

“Using Chimera technology?”

“that’s right. It was popular during the Silver Age.”

The reptile that looked like a fairy dragon was currently curled up in a corner.

I glanced up and saw Deus.

Deus clenches his fist.

“Fighting a dragon with this body! “I’ll have to die a thousand times, right?”

I got a lot of fighting spirit. But this time, the other side didn’t seem to have the will to fight.

Yulgeum grabbed Deus’ hand.

“it’s okay. “Let’s just go up.”

“Do you sympathize with a dragon?”

“I’m curious about Baekho’s thoughts.”

The monster on the third floor stood on two legs like a human.

However, the shape of the legs was close to the hind legs of a herbivore

. Like goats or sheep.

The face was also somewhere between a rabbit and a goat. His long beard twitched every time he twitched his nose in his pointed mouth.

What stood out most of all was the horns.

The horns on the sheep’s forehead were curled into a spiral.

It was complicated to describe, but the moment Deus saw the monster, he let out a single gasp.

“It’s a satyr!”

Satyr was a nickname for the demon race.

The moment the monster saw Deus,

it rushed at him like the moon.

I had let my guard down because I had just climbed the stairs from the floor below without any incident.

It looks like it went into leash range. Deus was struck in the side by a single blow and rolled several times on the floor.

“Your ribs are broken.”

Deus stood up again, grumbling.

Yulgeum approached and tried to cast a recovery spell, but Deus pushed her hand away and refused.

“I don’t intend to fight in a shameful way.”

Then he immediately jumped back into the satyr’s attack range.

Having faced death hundreds of times on the first floor, he has become accustomed to his current body.

He carefully narrowed down what he could and could not do and placed all of my body under his control.
