Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 205
47. The hero faces death (2)
Regin’s magic is complete.
He descended to the ground, leading the black flame hidden in the clouds.
It flew straight towards SIGNI’s back.
Zeke let out a long sigh at that sight.
All scenes in the world began to slow down. There was
only one way to save Signy
.
The moment he made that decision, Zeke sighed.
It wasn’t remorse. When I see a smile appear after the sigh.
It was just a little disappointing.
That everything ends with this.
Zeke held Signy in his arms.
The sword pierced Zeke’s back.
My heart stopped all at once and my vision turned completely white.
Zeke shouted, mustering up his last remaining strength.
“Regin! “The child your sister will give birth to
… you must protect that child.”
At the same time as Zeke said his last words, a lump came off Signy’s back.
The long umbilical cord burned with a blue flame and cut itself, and the shell-like lump split open and a gap opened.
Regin trudged along with a blank expression on his face.
Someone gave an order in my head.
Kill it.
Destroy it.
Stick your sword into it.
Something stirred in the narrow crevice of the hump
.
It wasn’t that difficult to figure out that it was a child’s hand.
Regin’s face was twisted in pain. Kill it.
Kill it.
The whispers in my head echoed to the point that I was dizzy.
Regin slowly pulled his sword from Zeke’s body.
And then he tried to insert the sword back into the cursed crystal that fell from Signy’s back.
But he ended up dropping his sword.
Why did Queen April come to mind at this moment? Why did she think of her own child she was carrying?
The shell was forcibly torn off.
Inside, a girl who looked to be about 10 years old was looking up at her with innocent eyes.
Regin took out his cloak and wrapped it around the naked girl.
Couldn’t kill it.
Regin’s eyes were red and bloodshot.
I saw my brother’s body in front of me.
The moment Regin saw his older brother smiling softly at him, he burst into tears like a child.
Lexia came to Regin’s side.
He turned his attention away from Zeke’s death and cast a healing spell on the wounds on Signi’s back.
The skin was torn, leaving two scars.
Lexia looked blankly at the scar that looked like an angel’s wings for a long time.
The child in Regin’s arms stirred.
Lexia looked at the child. The girl was very similar to Signi when she was young.
The only difference is that his hair and eyes are as dark as night.
“The devil’s child?”
Lexia muttered in a mesmerized voice.
“Signi… was she pregnant with the Demon King’s child?”
Regin was startled.
“Oh no. This!”
“What do you mean it’s not?”
“Miss Lexia. This is…
“Regin can’t fool anyone. Have you already forgotten who told us to erase this child?”
“Master Michael…
“You disobeyed his orders.”
“But you can’t kill this child, this child.”
“Calm down Regin. This is not a child. Demon King Demiurge is 667 years old!”
“no!”
Regin screamed. The girl, startled by the loud noise, flinched and
pursed her lips.
Regin patted the child, not knowing what to do.
“I wasn’t yelling at you. So…
“Regin!”
“We’ll talk about that later.”
Lexia opened her mouth again but was cut off.
Suddenly reality rushed into my mind.
I turned my head. It was difficult to control the tears from flowing.
Zeke is dead.
He… died before my eyes.
“It’s my fault…
Lexia stood and walked towards the dead Zeke.
Even after death, Zeke held Signy in his arms.
Lexia supported Signy and laid her on the ground. She seemed to have fainted, as if she had fallen asleep.
I stood in front of Zeke again.
Zeke had his eyes open. There was a small smile on his lips.
What is good?
I wouldn’t be happy about dying.
Lexia reached out her hand to cover his eyelids.
I was startled by his cold skin. Death felt real.
“It’s my fault. If only I hadn’t stopped him…
I had so many thoughts that my mind went blank.
Zeke is dead.
Signy gave birth to the Demon King’s child, and Regin disobeyed the angel’s orders.
All the gears were sticking out randomly, so I was at a loss as to where to turn them back into place.
Lexia looked up at the sky.
In times like this, if you don’t call on God, what can you use that existence for?
But it was not God who answered Lexia’s prayer.
A man walked out of the cave, dragging one of his wings and throwing the house down.
“Wow, you’re so persistent.”
The man grumbled, spitting out a wing feather that was stuck in his mouth.
The bloody wings gave off a terrible smell.
The smell that angels emit when their bodies rot is no different from that of other animals.
“You all…
Lexia’s voice trembled.
“Do you know me?”
The man, Deus, smiled a bloody smile.
“Lexia Pan Holyoke! “That’s my name.”
“Ah, a woman who seems to be Zeke’s senior.”
Deus glanced at Lexia, then walked forward and stood in front of Zeke.
“Is he dead?”
“Do not insult his death! “Just by pretending to know, the hero’s name is tarnished!”
Deus turned his eyes away without responding to Lexia’s words.
I caught a glimpse of the fainted Signi and saw Regin and the child he was holding in his arms.
Regin held the child tightly in his arms and hid it.
“Is it a girl?”
When Deus asked a question, Regin shouted.
“This child is not your child
! “It’s Sister Signi’s child!”
“The devil has been played by men for generations. “As long as a girl is born, it won’t be possible to carry on the 667-year-old’s name.”
“That’s right! This child…
“But it is definitely mine.”
“I can’t give it to you! “I won’t give it to you!”
Deus showed no reaction to Regin’s cries.
I turned my eyes to Zeke again.
“Did Suzaku and Blue Dragon… run away
?”
The two divine beasts
could not be felt in Zeke’s body.
A sigh came out naturally.
“I thought it would be me who kills you… God’s fate is such a dog.”
At that time, Signy’s fingers twitched.
I slowly opened my eyes and looked around with a blank expression.
The first thing Signi did when she woke up was not to hug the child or say hello to Regin.
He walked up to Deus and placed his head on the ground.
“Demon King Demiurge, 666 years old.
I offer up my soul.”
Regin and Lexia shouted in surprise at her words.
“sister! Come to your senses! “Now the curse has been lifted!”
“Signi, why are you bowing down to the Demon King?”
But Signi paid them no heed. He knelt down at Deus’ feet and kissed his shoes.
Deus quietly looked down at Signi’s back.
“You are really going to become a witch.”
“Lord Deus, instead of taking my soul, please grant me one wish.”
“You won’t regret it, right? Even when you die, you will never be able to return to God’s kingdom. I will be reincarnated as a demon in some corner of purgatory. “If you die as a saint, you will enjoy eternal glory in God’s kingdom, but you want to abandon that and become a lowly insect?”
“I don’t regret it.”
“Well… that’s how you become Zeke’s younger brother. Human Signi Pan Jade. Tell us your wishes. “On the honor of the Demon King,
I will make your wish come true.”
“Please save my brother.”
The moment she finished speaking, Zeke’s body and the two Deus beings were erased from the world.
Immediately after finishing his prayer, Signi fainted again.
It seemed like she was just determined to save Zeke.
Regin and Lexia couldn’t decide what to do at this moment.
He was just sitting idly near the altar of sacrifice, guarding the fainted Signi.
How long has it been since then?
Scatul slowly came out of the cave.
Regin, who found her, tensed and held the girl in his arms, while Lexia looked restlessly at Scatul.
The first thing Scatul noticed was the angel’s wing thrown carelessly on the floor.
“It looks like even the Seven Left Angels are no match for him.”
“Master Scottiel…
Lexia stuttered.
“Scatul. That’s my name now.”
“sorry. “I have no intention of blaming the two of you .”
“It was my fault for not being able to stop Zeke.”
Skatul said this and approached Regin.
With a frightened face, Regin hid the girl in his arms.
“This is really surprising. You’re the devil’s daughter. This kind of thing is not recorded in cause and effect…
The 10-year-old girl’s eyes were wide open in Regin’s arms.
Scatul looked at the girl for a long moment. Then he burst out laughing.
“Haha, how will the Lord accept this situation? “The blood of a warrior flows inside the body of the daughter born to the Demon King!”
Regin and Lexia looked at Skathul in surprise.
“No, maybe they tried to prevent the birth because they expected it. What should I do now? “It’s a fate too heavy for me to bear.”
“I will leave that fate to you.”
Scatul looked back in surprise.
I didn’t feel any sign. Actually, it was a natural thing.
“Yulgeum.”
Yulgeum was wearing golden robes.
“I won’t get involved in what you’re thinking. However, if this fate is too difficult for that child to bear, I will take it from him.”
“It is for Michael to decide.”
“Time in the underworld is different from here. Deus and Zeke will be back here before long.”
“no. “I don’t think so.”
“It looks like they planted a metronome.”
“The space-time air conditioner will catch them.”
Skatul said this and turned his head to look at the Demon King’s daughter.
“Then let’s do it like this. Yulgeum please look after them until everything is decided. However, you must be on the Jose Continent, not in Topaz.”
“i get it. “Let’s do that.”
Yulgeum took all of them, including Regin, Signy Rexia, and the girl, and used the magic of space transfer.
Scatul, who was left alone there, sighed briefly and looked up at the sky.
“My name is Michael. Lord of victory. “I don’t know if this will be your defeat.”
Deus followed Zeke to the entrance of the Underworld.
The underworld was the destination of all life. It was the border between heaven and hell, and they had to stay there until they decided where to go and pay for their sins.
All civilizations
were vaguely aware of the existence of the underworld.
Therefore, instead of burying the dead immediately, memorial ceremonies were held while they were in the underworld.
This land is full of sorrow and overflowing with regret.
However, Deus had a hard time holding back his laughter as he saw Zeke standing in the underworld.
