Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 196

45. Fighting with the Archangel (2)

Is there anything cheaper than death?

A million human armies perished helplessly in the war against demons who far outnumbered them.

The humans ultimately failed to occupy the central part of the hill.

He moved the army back 10 kilometers and asked for a rest. It was my first retreat since coming down to the Demon World.

However, retreat did not mean defeat.

In today’s battle, humans achieved amazing results.

Even though it was a battle in the demon world, countless enemy generals and soldiers were cut down.

The members of Ascaron, centered around Cadenza, gathered in the barracks until late at night to prepare for tomorrow’s battle.

“I didn’t doubt the oracle, but I didn’t think the devil would really show up.”

These were the words of Redditz van Holy Comilia.

The Holy Knight of the Maiden, Vergo the Paladin prayed to, was a warrior who used the Shrine Spica as his main weapon.

Cadenza smiled.

“This is what the archangel sent his servant to give a direct order to humans. “There can be no mistakes in it.”

The servant Cadenza was talking about was none other than the angel Scottiel.

Oridon said with his arms crossed.

“I didn’t know that the dragons were allied with the demons. “They would even betray the demons and join our side!”

“Wouldn’t it be better to be quiet? “It’s not betrayal, it’s treachery.”

“my mistake. “I said something wrong.” The dragon’s power was amazing.

About 10,000 individuals participated in this war. This was a large number, approaching 10% of the total number of dragons.

From the light lords representing each color to the elder dragons, they became the main axis of the front line with their immense power.

In particular, the battle was going much easier thanks to the dragons taking over the sky, which was the weak point of the human army.

Cadenza said, looking at everyone.

“Operation Askaron is just beginning. You must capture the Demon Island and kill all the Demon Dukes. “If you can do that, you don’t have to be afraid of the lone demon lord.”

“Don’t we have Regin? “His strength is comparable to that of the Last Man, so he will be able to stand against even the Demon King.”

All of the paladins nodded at Redditch’s words.

Meanwhile, Regin was interviewing a being at this moment.

Waiting for Regin inside the tent that blocked everyone’s access was Michael, the owner of the angel Skathiel.

The burning flame took the shape of a sword and stayed by his side.

The red hair growing on his forehead felt like a flame itself.

Regin looked straight at him.

However, it was only for a few seconds that I was able to look directly into his eyes and he soon ended up averting his eyes.

“Kneel. “Before you is the holy messenger of the Lord.”

I lowered my eyes in fear

and got down on one knee and bowed my head.

“I am the victorious monarch. “He is the master of the flaming sword.”

“Master Michael, I am Regin.”

“These ears have already heard your name.”

“It is an honour.”

“What do you want to be?”

“ I

said, “Tell me. what are you “What do you want to be?”

Regin could not answer that question.

I bowed my head and thought for a while.

But why at this moment… is Zeke visible?

“I am a warrior. “I have never wanted to be anything other than a warrior.”

Michael smiled.

“You know very well. You are God’s agent. “God gave you strength because he wants to destroy evil and establish justice.”

“I am infinitely grateful for God’s grace.”

“Regin.”

“yes.”

“I will teach you what to do.”

Regin’s body stiffened with tension.

This was something that the archangel personally came down and told the warrior to do.

How can it be light?

“Please give me your order.”

“Destroy the cursed sword on your sister Signi’s back.”

Regin was startled and looked at the angel.

Michael

looked at Regin with a benevolent expression.

“All three of your families have suffered great damage because of her being cursed by the Demon King. “It’s not your fault.”

“Archangel…

“It’s not your fault.”

It was just a word, but Regin’s shoulders felt lighter, as if his guilt had been forgiven.

“But you are a warrior. He is a warrior who has the power to correct the wrong path. You are the only one who can lift the curse placed on Signi. “Your brother is caught up in delusion and has no power to distinguish between right and wrong.”

“My brother is a sinner. “No matter what I do, I can’t forgive my brother.”

“Only the Lord can forgive.”

“ah!”

“You just have to fulfill your mission. “Save Signi.”

“yes!”

“Break the curse rising from her back. “Give me the sword at your waist.”

He unwrapped the Holy Sword Regulus from its hilt and handed it over to Michael.

As he kissed the tip of the sword, a flame

symbol was engraved on the sheath.

“This is my blessing, so even the devil’s curse will be able to destroy it.”

Regin felt a youthful energy in the sword and was once again frightened by the Archangel’s power.

“Only obey the Lord. That is your only way to eternal life.”

Regin knelt down and bowed his head.

When I looked up again, I could no longer see the archangel.

Regin immediately ran to Cadenza.

The meeting of Ascaron had not yet ended.

The Zodiac Knights were quite nervous as they looked at Regin’s flushed expression.

Regin unsheathed his sword and placed it on the table in the center of the conference room.

“I have received the blessings of Michael.” He immediately related the contents of the oracle. The story was

that Signi had been cursed and that lifting that curse

was the real purpose of this expedition.

“Did he tell you to untie that lord that stands on Signi’s back?”

Regin nodded.

” yes.”

“That is…”

Cadenza hesitated for a moment.

It had been ten years since he had known Regin.

He was confident that he knew better than anyone else what Regin thought of Signy.

A longing that borders on obsession.

Is this really Michael’s oracle? Or

is it a false oracle created by Regin using his name as an excuse?

If Zeke had said the same thing, Cadenza would have trusted him without thinking twice.

But my faith in Regin was weak.

I swallowed those thoughts and spoke again.

“We have to lift the curse on Signi’s back?”

“yes. That’s the devil’s curse. He said that if you cut with this sword, the curse will also disappear.”

The power in the sword was real.

No one here dared to touch Regin’s sword.

“Mr. Cadenza, my party and I will attack the devil’s castle right away.”

The first hero and his counterpart, the saintess. It was difficult to easily allow the two to leave.

However, since the oracle had given me, I had no choice but to follow it.

The reason a group of humans could fight against demons in this underground place was because of the protection of angels

.

If an angel withholds his blessings, what lies ahead will surely be hell.

“If the Archangel said so, all we can do is follow. But it would be reckless to attack the Demon King’s Castle with just one party.”

At that time, the entrance to the barracks opened and a man appeared.

“What if I help you?”

The moment they saw him, everyone could not hide their surprised faces.

Although he was wearing human clothing, he was clearly not human.

Scottiel.

The angel who once served as the devil’s butler and was involved in numerous incidents has reappeared here in the form of a fairy.

“Are you going together?” Cadenza asked back in confusion.

“That’s right.”

There was no longer any doubt about Regin. An angel himself appears and supports his plan.

Cadenza erased his complicated emotions, thinking that this was also God’s will.

“You say so, so

we can only follow.”

“Regin.”

“Yes, Master Scottiel.”

“Call me Scatul as long as I look like this. “Then let’s prepare together.”

Regin left the barracks of Askaron, following Skathul.

At this moment, Cadenza felt a different flow from what he had thought. I was only thinking about killing the Demon King

who destroyed the demon world and annihilated the demon race, and

extinguishing his descendants from this world forever…

There, the existence of Signi became an annoying obstacle.

What is the significance of lifting the devil’s curse on her?

More than anything, I was afraid that if I messed with SIGNI by mistake, I would become enemies with Zeke.

The power of Zeke that I experienced a while ago was on a completely different level from 10 years ago.

Oridon opened his mouth, patting the shoulder of his friend who had a complicated expression.

“I have no choice but to trust and follow the angel

. “We are merely human seeds.”

Regin summoned a party of warriors.

The saintess Rexia and the divine archer Ceses, the sword warrior Helgesopp, the Ace of Spades level wizard Embettat, and the fairy swordsman Skatul.

A total of six party members, including the warrior Regin, hid themselves in a strange rocky area several kilometers north of the main camp.

Regin said, looking back at his colleague.

“From now on, we are going to the Demon King’s Castle.”

Wizard Embettat burst into laughter.

“Do you know how to tell jokes?”

Embettat was an Ace-level wizard of the School of Spades. He was in his fifties and had extensive combat experience.

That’s why I was very dissatisfied with this young warrior.

Even though the party revolved around the hero, I felt that fifteen was too young to know the world.

The fact that he brought me to the wasteland and said things like that when I was supposed to be resting

made him look like a child.

“It’s no joke.”

“Hey Regin. “You may be fine because you are young, but I need to sleep so I can fight again tomorrow.”

“Once you die, you will be able to sleep well.”

Embettat was about to get angry, but Helgesop took the initiative.

“Regin, no matter how much of a warrior you are, you should not treat your colleagues like subordinates. Mr. Mbetat lived more than three times longer than you.”

Regin snorted at those words.

“You are my men in the employ of Leo Paladin’s army. colleague? “Since when have we been colleagues?”

“Look!”

“It’s always like that. Hey there you are. That’s what you guys said to me the most. Do you think the young warrior is bothersome? Do you think I’m standing over you guys with no skills and only blood? Isn’t it actually the opposite? If it weren’t for me, you guys would be wiped out in that war in 10 seconds’?”

Helgesop could not refute Regin’s words.

If the warriors who received the angel’s protection do not act as a shield from the front, they will all be turned into pieces of minced meat.

But you cannot win a war with a shield alone.

“If you think so, why don’t you go alone?”

New Archer Keseth crossed his arms and said.

She was an orphan born and raised in Seonghwangcheong. In the army preparing for the final war, he has received only the education of a warrior his entire life.

His bow skills were outstanding, but like most snipers, he had a rough personality.

“You’re so arrogant because you caught the eye of Cadenza and rose to prominence. You’re having a woman in your barracks on the battlefield!”
