Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 223
51. The Hero and the Demon King Add Strength (2)
“I know it’s going to be difficult right now.”
“It’s a shield that takes two hours to break through. “Because you give that bastard too much time, it’s easy to get stabbed in the back like this time.”
“It would be better if I asked for something in return for being a hostage. Whatever it is, it will save you.”
“He is a man who would not be satisfied even with the position of God.
“Because they are ghosts from 70,000 years ago.”
At that time, the rooftop door opened and Zeke appeared.
“You are here.”
“why?”
“Yulgeum is looking for you.”
“Come, yes.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened again and Yulgeum appeared.
“That’s why I came in person.”
“Good posture. “If you want to see this body, you have to walk up the stairs on your knees.”
“Your Majesty.”
“What’s going on? “Have you found a way to break through Nezar’s barrier?”
Zeke responded to Deus’ words.
“Now that I think about it, wouldn’t it be okay to destroy the star’s servant first? “The Almighty Bracelet alone isn’t that strong.”
The Almighty Bracelet itself had some power, but it only served as a medium.
The servants of the stars, accumulating energy outside the atmosphere, were the source of most of Nezhar’s power.
“Looking at Yulgeum’s expression, it looks like he’s in trouble?”
When Zeke looked at Yulgeum, Yulgeum slowly
shook her head and said.
“The moment the Star Servant is destroyed, won’t it hide somewhere? Moreover, he knows exactly what is buried beneath the continent of Jose.”
“You mean Sephiroth’s Ark or something?”
a U n
O.
“They say this is a ship that can go outside the planet.”
“With a huge anti-gravity stone.”
“Anti-gravity? “Is it like a flight seat?”
“To put it simply, yes. It looks like they used that to launch the Star Servant.
“I don’t know, but I’m sure I’ve already created a few star servants.”
“Are you saying it doesn’t mean much even if we break them one by one?”
« O ” Hmm.
Deus frowned and said.
“Well, even if that’s not the case, there is a loophole in that method.”
“what is that?”
“I would lose a scene where my strength would be highlighted. “We have to find a way to break through the shield with overwhelming force.”
Yulgeum said to Zeke. “I suddenly
wanted to
vote for your agenda .”
Deus opened his mouth again.
“You have to step on that guy by force. Otherwise, they’ll attack you again. “I won’t give in until the end.”
“It’s not like you’re particularly stronger.”
“That’s a problem, but… Is there anything like that?”
” what?”
“A pill that makes you 10 times 100 times stronger just by taking one pill or something.”
“Is there any?”
“For some reason, it seems like it could exist in some world
.”
” doesn’t exist.”
“Then why did you come to see me?”
As Deus asked, Yulgeum narrowed his eyes.
“But… how long are you going to stay here?”
“huh?”
“I have to go back. To the demon world.”
” why?”
“Because you are the devil.”
“it’s okay. Because I’m not particularly attached to that location. They say we should call it a republic. “You just have to vote to elect a ruler.”
“You don’t know.”
” what?”
“If this continues, Nezar will become the king of that world?”
Deus raised his upper body. I lowered my legs that were leaning on the railing.
” what?”
“The one who is currently saving the Demon World is the Giant God Troop sent by Nezar. “Not the one who is the devil.”
“Ha, is it that bastard again?”
The giant army drove out the human army all the way to the entrance of the demon world.
Without the help of ground forces, the dragons’ firepower had limits.
Even so, there weren’t many dragons. As the damage accumulated, they had no choice but to give up their air superiority.
Even though they received the protection of angels, the human army was having a hard time dealing with the giant god troops.
The biggest reasons were the absence of an ace card called Regin and the accumulated fatigue caused by the long war.
One day in the Demon World without the sun was comparable to ten days on the Jose Continent.
Not only my body but also my mind was exhausted, and I was in no condition to fight.
On the other hand, the Demon World was desperate.
In the past 666 centuries, there has never been an invasion of the demon world.
The fertile land on the border was taken away by mugwort monsters, and the center of the kingdom was ravaged by humans.
It has been a long time since the number of demons killed was counted.
Pride fell to the ground and public sentiment became fierce.
Originally, they were demons with a ferocious nature
.
The current demon world was almost a lawless zone.
Only iron-blooded rule by force remained, and the law of the fittest of flesh and blood was the only rule.
The giant army marched.
The demons sighed as they watched them from afar.
The giant was just a monster.
Although he was tall and ranked high in strength, he was also considered a symbol of stupidity due to his lack of intelligence.
But now it has transformed into a completely different being.
Among those who watched the giant’s march was a demon named Rodris.
Rodris, one of the Marquis of the Demon World, was a Beholder. He was also the head of the Imae and Mangyang ruled by Gyoogong and a minor lord who ruled a large castle.
“Look at that proud figure.”
He said this to his successor and stroked his chin with his eight tentacles.
“Compared to them, we are so miserable and shabby.”
“Don’t destroy yourself, uncle.”
“Self-destruction? no. This is a miserable reflection. What is the king doing now? The demon shares his power and offers it to the demon king. Although the amount each person gives is not large, it is our flesh and life blood. Since it takes 100 years to regain lost power, the Demon King can only be born once every 100 years. “Where is our king who took that power now?”
“Uncle! “Your words are too much.”
“Is it too much? Do I really go too far with what I say? Our master has abandoned us.
His appearance is nowhere to be found in this terrible war. Did you run away because you were scared? Was he killed by a warrior? I think it would be better if it was the latter. “At least I wasn’t betrayed.”
“Uncle, he is still our king. “Didn’t you slaughter a lot of enemies that day and chase the humans who had reached the royal capital all the way to the Red Hill?”
“If you say that you can be a king with just that one thing, then anyone in this world can become a king.”
Rodris’ voice rose and the eyes of the demons focused on him.
Everyone was surprised to learn that he was a high-ranking nobleman called a marquis who confidently said things bordering on treason.
In fact, King Ban’s ideas had been widely spread among the nobles for a long time.
A king is a fighter.
Because of that heavy karma, all demons serve him as their master.
However, the 666-year-old current king abandoned his duty.
He ran away from home and even disappeared on the battlefield.
There was even talk openly about whether,
if possible, it would be better to select a new king and serve him.
“Would you like to commit treason?”
Someone asked Rodris.
“Unfortunately, I don’t have the strength.” Rodris sighed and looked at him.
At that moment, my body froze.
He saw a red-skinned man with a goatee walking towards him with his knees bent backwards.
“Sloth ball Seiton!”
“Rodris, if you had the power, would you rebel?”
“What is your opinion? The border of the demon world has been breached and the demons have nowhere to turn. What saved us were unexpected giants. “If the Savior is the king’s virtue, wouldn’t it be right for us to pass the crown on to someone else?”
Seyton stared at Rodris with slitted eyes.
Rodris was frightened by the look in his eyes. But he didn’t back down.
A diet of the fittest.
Even though the duke was higher than the marquis, he had no intention of being eaten.
“Then would you like to try it? “That’s the class role.”
“What do you mean?”
“From now on, I would like to raise a new agenda at the meeting of the Seven Dukes. “What is it like to welcome a new monarch?”
A new monarch!
The demons murmured at those words.
No one dared say it out loud.
But everyone had something they wanted from deep in their hearts. I
hope that a certain iron man
will appear and save the demon world.
Just like humans who once wanted a hero, demons also wanted a savior.
If it were the devil, it would be better than anything, but in the current situation, it seemed like nothing more than a delusion.
Let’s look at reality.
Who saved the Demon World now? Wasn’t he Nezar, the king of the giants? Seyton said to Rodris.
“The first thing to do is find out the other person’s intentions. “We decided between us, but it would be funny if they refused.”
“If it’s your opponent…
“Nezar. I think I’ll leave the demon world to him, the god of the Adapas. “Until the day the 667-year-old king inherits the crown.”
Some of the surrounding demons nodded at Nezar’s name.
It seemed like he got the feeling that it was true.
Rodris secretly headed to the ground that way.
In the past, there was no way out to the human world except for the central spiral corridor, but now there was another passage.
That was the lava path where the giants came down and the mugwort monsters climbed.
Migo, who was cleaning with a mop with a push mop, stood at the window and looked out.
It was an enchanting scenery.
Nezar called that blue star Earth.
There is the mother’s land, the Jose Continent, and the father’s land, the Demon World, is also curled up beneath it.
The place where Migo was cleaning was a hallway of the ark floating in the sky.
I could only call it a certain hallway.
Since it was a huge ship with a battlefield of 10 kilometers, it often got lost.
Nezhar was currently concentrating on converting the ark into a servant of the stars.
They made several mirror-like sails each measuring 1 kilometer long and erected them on the outside of the ark.
“What good is that sail anyway? “There is no wind here.”
Migo stood leaning against the mop sack and
muttered:
The ark was strange.
In some places the ceiling became the floor. There was also an area where bodies were floating.
Dwarf engineers were creating huge shields and armor where the body floated.
The giant’s armor was amazing. It was stronger than steel and was protected by magical powers.
The body itself was infinitely superior to that of a human, and with the support of armor and weapons, it
became a completely different being from the giants of the past.
Nezar called them Adapa. It is said that it means an excellent human being created directly by God.
“He seems to want to become God.” Migo said this and looked alternately at the sparkling sail and the blue star.
The scenery here was so beautiful that I was able to put all my problems aside.
She was now living as Nezar’s slave.
Chores like cleaning and laundry were all part of the job.
“You’re being lazy again!”
“Chief Chamberlain!”
Human Maxis.
He wore the Viscount’s yellow sash around his waist and swaggered around.
But Migo also had some fears. It was because of witnessing her power.
“If you don’t do it right, I will whip you.”
“sorry.”
Migo started mopping again.
Maxis, who had been watching what happened for a moment, opened his mouth.
“But what on earth are you?”
“What is it?”
“I can’t believe an 11-year-old girl has such superpowers. “Are you really human?”
“It’s a secret.”
“I am the Chamberlain!”
“It’s the same for everyone. I was taught never to talk about what I am.”
“Hmm, whatever it is, you must never use your power against me!”
“Yes, Chamberlain.”
Migo smiled and mopped again.
