Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 186
42. Put to the test (5)
“That little bastard… Come to think of it,
he didn’t fight back. “Maybe it’s a technique specialized for defense.”
Yulgeum sat on a nearby rock and just looked at Deus.
Deus also didn’t particularly want her advice, so he continued talking to himself.
“But if you can’t break through, there’s no way to confirm it…
Even with the dark spiral bomb that raised the Demon Spiritual Energy to its limit, it couldn’t break through. “In the end, there is no way.”
“Are you going to give up?”
“Is that possible? “One thing I learned from watching Zeke is that no matter how good your abilities are, if you lose courage, it’s over.”
“You’re done being a hero.”
“That’s it.”
“huh?”
“Hero Zeke.”
“What do you mean, suddenly?”
“That guy has Suzaku now, right
? “I need to borrow it for a moment.”
Yulgeum stared at Deus with an absurd expression.
“What is that face?”
“Now… Have you forgotten your location? That’s the devil, right? “Zeek bought a dragon.”
“What is that? “I’m not asking for it at all, I’m just borrowing it for a little while.”
“I don’t know. do it yourself.”
Deus lifted his right hand, listening to the words of Yulgeum through one ear.
“Find Suzaku’s location.” Baekho’s
sentence trembled slightly
as if he understood his master’s words .
Deus turned his head to Yulgeum again.
“Now that I know the coordinates of this place, I can open the dimensional door, right?”
“I need to know the coordinates there, but… no, it seems like they’re using me like an all-purpose errand boy these days?”
“Put the little things aside and open the door once the white tiger finds its location.”
“I can’t.”
I had Baekho do it, but I thought it would take at least a few days.
However, the white tiger immediately answered with the consciousness of Deus.
Deus’ expression hardened.
“Eidos…?”
Yulgeum tilted his head.
“what?”
“Where is Zeke now? He’s called Eidos?”
“Eidos? “Did Zeke come to the Demon World?”
“huh. “I think so?”
“Because of SIGNI?”
“I guess so?”
Deus ruffled his hair.
“I tried to borrow it through some fraud without mentioning Signi.”
“You weren’t trying to rely on friendship?”
“The two are similar. “Whatever you call it.”
“This is why you shouldn’t get to know the devil. “Do you think of friendship as just a tool for fraud?”
“I know about friendship too.”
“Then what did you mean by taking advantage of your friendship with Zeke and not bringing up Signy’s story?”
“I feel like I’m putting it off a little bit because it’s going to be a curse anyway.”
“That way of thinking is wrong! “You’re going to get scolded, so go and get scolded first.”
“What if I don’t lend it to you?”
“Then you can’t do it.”
“When you grow up you won’t be able to beat the cub’?”
“So, it is no longer friendship in the sense that it weighs future gains and losses.”
“What’s so complicated? I’m borrowing it because I need it, but I’m putting it off until later because I don’t think they’ll lend it to me if I tell them. “I’m not saying I’m going to take it away, I’m just borrowing it,
so what’s the problem?”
“Look at this shameless devil.”
“Doesn’t it seem like just borrowing is enough proof of my friendship? “If he’s a really bad guy, he’ll take it away. Will you borrow it and return it?”
” Villain.”
“Besides, that also ended up being an attempt. Because Zeke found out about SIGNI’s affair… Ah! “Then shall we try the opposite?”
“What kind of crazy idea did you come up with again?”
“You are taking SIGNI hostage. If you want your
sister back, lend me Suzaku! “Is this some kind of operation?”
“What about friendship?”
“I already forgot.”
“It’s really thin. The white paper feels so thick. “If it’s just a blank sheet of paper, I’ll make winter clothes for you in the world of your relationship.”
“We also build houses.”
“I’m proud.”
“Stop being so quick and suggest an alternative. “How can I borrow Suzaku from Zeke?”
“Why don’t you just get spanked? “The only thing that preserves friendship
is honesty.”
“Let’s throw away the famous sayings that adults would have made and talk about things that can actually be helpful. Oh, how about the beauty world? In fact, it’s the same setting as Yulgeum Loved Zeke.”
“You do handsome men, right? In fact, Deus loved Zeke.”
“Will it work?”
“Will it work?”
“iced coffee! “I need to borrow your strength.”
“Why don’t you think about becoming stronger yourself?”
“I don’t like that.”
“why?”
“Because it takes too long. “I want to beat that bastard right away, rub him on the floor, and step on him with my feet.”
“That’s pretty specific.”
“The order may change, but we will do everything.”
“I don’t know, I’ll open the door. “My help ends there.”
“Now, prepare your mind for a moment.”
“It’s open!”
Yulgeum smiled brightly and waved both hands.
A large door was summoned.
Deus placed his hand on the doorknob.
“Eh, I don’t know.”
The door suddenly opened.
And then we met face to face.
A young man named Zeke is 24 years old.
“What do you think will happen if you see it again?”
“I thought I would definitely see it on the battlefield.”
“right?”
” yes.”
Didn’t even say hello.
This question and answer was the entire first conversation between Deus and Zeke after 10 years.
“It’s hard to talk about this since we haven’t seen each other in a long time…
Deus trailed off.
Immediately after that, Deus and Zeke both opened their mouths at the same time.
“A little jujak.”
“You mean Signi?”
The words collided and immediately the two spoke again.
“Oh, that’s the situation…”
“What about Suzaku?”
Deus raised his palm.
“Tell me first.”
“I heard everything that happened to Signi at the Tower of Eidos.”
“Are you very angry?”
“At that time.”
“It’s sunk now?”
“little bit. “It’s not like I’m going to pull out the knife right away.”
“It really wasn’t intentional. This is why sex education is important. Because the Demon King is not in a position to receive such systematic education. “That guy was my tutor, but he just glossed over it, saying he didn’t know much about it
.”
An arrow briefly flew towards Alex, who came through the door with Zeke.
It’s unfair! It was tempting to shout, but Alex kept his mouth shut.
He knew very well how dangerous this situation was.
If you take the wrong line, a battle will break out between Deus and Zeke.
It was difficult to accurately estimate the power of Zeke, who possessed two Shinigami Beasts, but…
it was clear that he was dangerous. “I heard you
suffered a lot
for 10 years because of a lump on your back ?”
“Yes, of course.”
“I didn’t mean to…
“You have nothing to apologize for. “Maybe it was just an excuse.”
“excuse?”
“yes. Many people who had vested interests in Seonghwangcheong. It’s just as Deus said. The world is twisted. Even now, there are people who openly say that in many ways it would have been better if I had died.”
“ah! After all, you are a living being of absolute power. “A hero who defeated the devil
!”
“Someone would have wanted to own me and would rather die than hand me over to the other party.”
“That’s the way those little bastards would think. Just because they lack the skills to be a warrior, they ignored the sacrifices they made for humanity and treated them like second-class people or anything.”
“It looks like both SIGNI and I were uncomfortable. “As soon as a lump appeared on Signi’s back, they started treating him like a criminal.”
“Well, because there are all kinds of people.
I guess not all are bad guys. Most of it is selfish though.”
“That’s right.”
“At this point, you can either quit being a human and come down to the demon world. “I will pull out one of the seven peacock seats and put it in for you.”
“I’ll decline that.”
“I knew it.”
“I have something more to ask of you.”
” What?”
“I want my Signi back.”
“Take me with you?”
“yes.”
“Life is hard. “You will give birth to
the devil’s child … and you will be accused of being a real witch.”
“It may sound shameless, but I plan to send the child down to the lower world.”
“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to keep them here until they disperse? Of course, I plan to completely follow Signy’s opinion. “I was surprised by the growth on his back, so I brought him in without even telling you, but I didn’t really mean to detain him.”
“I heard a lot from Signi. “They said there was no discomfort because she was being treated as a queen.”
“That’s because the subordinates are doing whatever they want. I have no intention of forcing her to be queen. “I’ll say it again, I’ll let SIGNI choose whatever it is, so don’t worry.”
I paused the story for a moment. Meanwhile, Zeke bowed his head to Yulgeum.
“I’m sorry for the late greeting. Jingeum Yulgeum.”
“It was just a rule. “You grew up to be a wonderful man.”
“It’s still not enough. “It looks like the dragon has formed an alliance with the demons.”
“huh. “After a plenary meeting of elders , it was decided to abandon humans who hunt
dragons and use them as material for weapons and join hands with demons.”
“It would be a great threat to humans.”
“Really? “I don’t think it’s as big of a threat as the two Death Gods that Zeke possesses, Suzaku and Blue Dragon.”
” two?”
Deus looked at Zeke and Yul Geum alternately with a surprised face.
At that time, Alex bowed his head in front of Deus and raised his voice.
“My lord! We’re in big trouble! It seems that following Suzaku, even Blue Dragon has decided to serve Zeke.”
“I found out quickly. Anyway, you seven peacocks are the embodiment of incompetence. “What on earth have you done by sitting there for 666 centuries?”
“It’s unfair! “Please inform your Majesty that the old authorities have worked tirelessly day and night for the revival of the demon world!”
“So you fought 665 times and lost 665 times?”
Alex blushed and closed his mouth.
“Look at this. I live surrounded by these kids. Anyway, there is the fourth Death God Beast, Hyeonmu, not far from here.”
“I feel it too.”
“Oh, I guess so.”
“But it’s a little strange. “Suzaku and Cheongryong were looking for their owners.”
“You took the test and got it too, right?”
“A test? “It looks like he was measuring my bowl.”
“Without your strength taken away and without fighting or anything like that?”
” yes’?”
“No, just pretend you didn’t listen. Anyway, God is unfair.”
“You’re thinking of getting your hands on Hyeonmu as well.”
“huh. of course.”
“Seeing as you opened the door leading to me, I guess that didn’t work out.”
“Hahaha, don’t ask or argue, but can you please lend me a handshake?”
“Suzaku?” “O”
Hmm.
“You already have a white tiger.”
“That’s why I said don’t ask questions or argue. “I’ll just use it once and give it back.”
“You seem really strong.”
As Zeke said these words, he immediately released his sword and shield.
“Suzaku, lend him your strength.”
The red light on the sword and shield disappeared, returning to the original Dooms Rhino and Dooms Lagoon.
The power of Suzaku resided in Deus’ left hand.
“Thank you! “I’m going to cut off that bastard’s head!”
Deus soared into the sky.
His black wings cast a shadow on the ground and disappeared in an instant.
Yulgeum looked at Zeke and shook his head.
“What are you going to do if he gets hold of Hyeonmu and
controls both Suzaku and Hyeonmu Baekho?”
” yes’?”
“If you insist that you will not return the Suzaku, you are only wasting your power for no reason.”
“ah! Would you like that?”
Yulgeum shook his head when asked with a bright smile.
“That’s right… he’s not that mean.”
“I agree too.”
