Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 198

45. Fighting with the Archangel (4)

Zeke pulled out his shield and sword and ran forward.

Immediately after that, the mechanical insect spewed out a huge amount of lightning in all directions.

But he couldn’t hurt Zeke with that much force.

The shield covered with aura completely blocked the approach of lightning.

As he rushed forward and swung his sword, his body split into two pieces and mechanical devices

spilled out like internal organs.

Deus pawed at the fallen monster.

But I only saw a bunch of machines I couldn’t tell what they were.

“What kind of magic did they use in the Golden Age?”

Everyone was completely dumb. It was the same as having no knowledge of that era.

As I passed the mechanical insect, a cave sunken into the ground came into view.

Deus immediately stuck his head in and was in great trouble.

Dozens of mechanical insects that I had just fought were swarming inside the cave.

As soon as the insects discovered Deus, they ran out of the cave.

“Why are there so many?”

Deus clenched his fists. The emblems of Baekho and Hyeonmu appeared on the backs of my right and left hands, respectively.

I stretched out both hands in succession. It was a hand movement similar to a light jab, but the destructive power of each was enough to destroy a mechanical insect.

It jumped into the cave,

destroying seven or eight units in an instant .

There were countless bugs along the cave walls.

Seeing the crowd of so many monsters made me even more curious. What on earth is in the basement?

As soon as Zeke cleared out the bugs on the ground, he also ran into the cave chasing Deus.

Deus and Zeke.

The two join forces to fight against one enemy.

These six-legged machines were not weak.

Although it was nothing compared to a dragon, it was much stronger than the giants.

There were hundreds of those tireless monsters, so any decent being would have been killed in an instant.

Moreover, their weapon was lightning.

Each bug acted as a lightning rod and filled the entire vertical cave with lightning.

It was a lightning hell that I couldn’t avoid or run away from.

However, Zeke’s aura completely blocked the lightning strikes.

It was even more impossible to break through

the barrier created by Deus’ magic spirit .

Still, there were so many.

It took several minutes to break them down one by one.

Deus spat on the floor as he looked at the countless insect corpses pressed against the wall.

“Wow, you’re so persistent.”

“I didn’t know there would be this many.”

“What on earth are you protecting?” Deus looked around.

Before I knew it, Alex had found the door and was standing in front of it.

“My lord, this way! Look what I discovered.”

“Why are you showing off? “I lost my arm.”

“Your arm will regenerate quickly. Instead, look here. “It’s a door.”

“I know. “Open it.”

“Yes, my lord!”

Alex answered and stood in front of the door again.

But there was no handle.

I quickly rolled my eyes.

It could be something round or long, so

I hoped there would be something I could hold with my hand.

It was obvious that I would be treated like a fool if I couldn’t open the door.

But there was nothing like a door handle anywhere.

Meanwhile, Deus came to the door.

“Ha, you really are an incompetent bastard from start to finish.”

“It’s unfair, my lord!”

“Even a child will open it.”

“It won’t open!”

“What if Zeke opens it?”

“You… you shouldn’t use your strength!”

“What if you do it without using any effort? “Give it to Duke

Lee Zeke.”

“Zeke-kun, he won’t do anything like magic tricks!”

“If I only gave you a bonus, would you have said OK? “If I tell you that I will send your bonus money every month to the Hollybitch family in a way that will never be discovered by humans, they will reluctantly nod.”

“That’s a bit harsh.”

Alex’s eyes fluttered as he heard Zeke smile.

“What do you want me to do for a living?”

“He made a living by tearing off your arms. “It can

also be played .”

“My lord!”

“Open it Zeke!”

“Even if you say that… it’s unreasonable just to look at it.”

Alex gave a thumbs up in Deus’ blind spot. Thank you Zeke! It was a hand gesture that conveyed the thought.

“Keukeuuuu, there is a difference in class here.”

Deus made exaggerated hand gestures and went to the door. The reason

he was so confident

was because he had experience with this type of door.

“This is a relic of the Gilded Age. There’s no way it can be opened with a handle or something.”

Deus talked leisurely and recalled what Yulgeum had done in the past.

There was a small box between the doors, and there were small buttons on it.

Small letters were visible. I was confused by the shapes.

Among them, I pressed the button with the arrows facing away from each other.

The door slid open as if it were a lie.

“My lord! Can you handle even the relics of the Golden Age?”

“of course. “Do you think there is something in this world that this body can’t do?”

Deus walked in proudly.

A person blocked his path.

“You are such an outrageous troublemaker!”

It was a woman. She, who had an absolutely beautiful appearance, swept her blood-red hair and glared at Deus.

“What is this woman? I know?”

“Be careful what you say! “Before you is the holy messenger of the Lord.”

“lion? “Huh?”

“I am the monarch of divine power. Lord of the angels of destruction!”

“Is there a law that angels have to introduce themselves like that when they meet someone?”

“So, if you keep your manners, do you get rashes?”

“It’s a bit like that. By the way, you’re an angel. “Do you know Scottiel by any chance?”

Deus said this and

looked to the side.

But Zeke was already down on one knee and paying respect to the angel.

Thinking that this could not be possible, I looked towards Alex and saw that he had also put his hands together and bowed his head.

“What is this atmosphere? “Am I bad?”

“Do you understand now? It is natural for those who follow the Lord to be courteous to the messenger.”

“Okay, let’s say you have the courtesy. “What did you mean by

suddenly saying ‘troublemaker’ ?”

“Do you know what is buried here?”

“Aren’t you going to break in like this because you don’t know?”

“This is the land where the messengers of destruction who brought the end of the golden age are buried.”

“Wormwood fire?”

“Yes.”

“The real thing is here?”

“Yes.”

“What are you going to do if I say I miss you?”

“I will not allow it.”

“please.”

“Don’t talk like you’re joking.”

Kamael spoke again as he swung the sword with the leopard decoration and placed it in front of him.

“Now the business is over. Go back. The day will soon come when the Lord will judge your self-indulgence. Mortals, God bless you too…

“Shut your mouth, the corn will be shaken!”

Deus’ fist hit Kamael’s cheek. My head was turned back and pushed.

Deus laughed and

shook his fist on the spot.

He looked back at Zeke and said.

“Do you know what I’ve wanted since I was little?”

He spoke again to Zeke, who was unable to utter a single word with his mouth wide open.

“A big blow to the angel’s chin. “Now my wish has been granted.”

Kamael still had his head turned back.

It seemed like there was quite a bit of shock.

I slowly straightened my head and looked at Deus.

There was a faint smile on his lips.

“Are you deluding yourself into thinking that you have become something different just because you have obtained the power of the Death Beast?”

“It’s not because I got something, it’s because I was strong in the first place, right?”

“Do you know who I am?”

“You say Kamael?”

“I am an archangel who rules over the angels of destruction. “I am Kamael, the lord of divine power.”

“I am Deus, the demon lord who watches from the darkness of the world.”

Alex jumped up and grabbed Deus’ waist.

“My lord! Come to your senses! “There are degrees of insanity, and if you want to die, die fighting a warrior!”

“If you look closely, this bastard is my enemy.”

“My lord! “You must never fight against an angel!”

Deus dropped Alex’s arm and stepped in front of Kamael.

“So what are you going to do? Are you going to get hit and just back down?”

Kamael sighed briefly.

“Go back. “Go back now, so that you can generously forgive the Thunderbolt’s indulgence.”

Deus grinned. Turn around. It was a gesture that seemed to follow Kamael.

Kamael also seems to have relaxed slightly.

Deus suddenly turned around and fired another blow at the same place, but he could not dodge it.

Kamael’s head turned and his hair stood up in anger.

“Mortal! “Do not be confident that

my patience will be infinite !”

“I really don’t understand what you’re saying. Don’t be patient. “I want to see the Angel of Destruction or something over there.”

Kamael raised his hand to his sword.

“That cannot be allowed.”

“I have no intention of asking for permission.”

“Die, mortal!”

Kamael swung his divine sword, Red Panther.

At that moment, I felt the illusion of a crack forming throughout the space.

Deus crossed his hands

to block the sword strike.

The two forces collided and a storm-like impact shook the surroundings.

Deus laughed.

I stood up straight, shaking my forearms.

“Nothing much. “There’s also something called an archangel.” But…

I felt something was off.

The scenery is different. Clearly, the place where he was standing just moments ago was a hallway inside the Golden Age door in a deep cave.

I ran into Kamael in the gray hallway, but

there was nothing in front of me right now.

Beach.

Whispering waves.

And the moonlight is just greeting him.

“Are you awake?”

Zeke, who was turning the bonfire, smiles bitterly.

“What is this?”

“I guess I don’t remember.”

“Could it be that I fainted?”

“You fainted or died, right? Because my body split in two. From here to here.”

Zeke

pointed to his shoulder and side with his hand.

Deus groped. But there were no cut marks.

“Alex had stitches all day. Since his life force was so great, he wouldn’t die from being cut in two…

Deus looked down at his arm.

Archangel’s Strike.

It was completely unstoppable. Let alone blocking it, the cut was so sharp that I didn’t even realize I was dead.

On the other side, Alex was lying on his stomach, asleep, muttering something.

It seemed like he was talking in his sleep.

“This guy! “Why aren’t you listening to me!”

This is roughly what Deus was saying and tried to hit him.

But he immediately lowered his raised hand.

“Damn it!”

I shouted at the moon.

I thought I could hear Kamael laughing.

next day.

Deus was sitting on the beach and looking at the distant sea.

Alex spoke to him cautiously.

“Don’t be disappointed. “Isn’t the other person an archangel?”

“No matter how strong your lord is, that is a story from the underworld. Nothing compares to the gods and their messengers. Anyway, please don’t do such reckless things in the future. “It is never acceptable to destroy the order of this world.”

“Are you here to start a fight?”

“My lord! “Why are you misrepresenting

my court like that ?”

“I thought it was about Yulgeum, but I attacked it and got bloodied. Tsk.”

“It would seem that he also hid his true power.”

“When he became Jingeumyong, most of his power may have been sealed away.”
