Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 278
62. The Hero, the Demon King, the Uncle, and the Nephew (3)
“Are you sure you are human?”
“This is the Verde Kingdom. “I think this place is not far from the southern border of the Verde Kingdom.”
“Isn’t Verde the most powerful nation among the human kingdoms?”
“That’s right.”
“Then it would be natural for us to struggle.”
“No shame, my lord. However,
the army of the Demon World is not weak. However, among the enemies, there is one fierce warrior.”
” Warrior?”
“Yes, my lord. Rumors say he is the husband of Queen April Lil.”
“The queen’s husband is a warrior. I’m sure you have skills. “Did you find out the name?”
“Yes, my lord. “That’s really… not a good opponent.”
“Who is it?”
“Regin van Holywitsch. “I am Leo Paladin.”
“ah!”
“You seem surprised.”
“I’m really surprised. But there might be a better way. “Where is Leo Paladin now?”
“Be careful. “He is a vicious warrior who once attacked the demon world at the insistence of Ascalon.”
“I know it well. “Tell me where he is.”
Torto bowed his head.
“Yes, my lord. “We are currently engaged in a war with the beastmen on the battlefield in the northwest.”
Migo climbed onto the wyvern’s back again.
He left all his troops at the base and ran alone to the battlefield in the northwest.
A smile spread across my lips.
I never imagined we’d meet like this…
Migo took one of the wyvern’s head feathers and made a mask.
I drilled eye holes in the feather and used magic to attach them to the bridge of my nose.
I wanted to give it a try with all my might.
Regin
was Migo’s teacher who taught him fighting skills.
The beastmen were quite strong among the demons.
His body was strong and his brain was outstanding.
Werewolves called lycanthropes and beastmen with the heads of bears, lions and tigers formed an army and were fighting against Regin’s detachment.
Although they said they were strong, it was only an ordinary story.
Against Regin, who spread his aura and wielded Balmung, none of the demons
stood out much.
Already on this battlefield, the name Regin was synonymous with the Reaper.
They cut down the demons without the slightest forgiveness, as if trying to relieve the resentment they had from the last war.
About 1,000 beastmen troops attacked Regin with all their might.
They took turns attacking him without giving him time to rest, trying to drain his stamina.
There was no time to even think about whether the operation was meaningful. If we don’t do that, the main unit of the M人隊, which is conducting a large-scale rotation, will be in danger.
The Man of the People was now attacking the human army surrounding the ten carts.
Loaded on the cart was food for the army.
They accidentally discovered that the leading carriage was stuck in a bog and was hesitant, so they mobilized the entire army.
I thought I could easily rob the enemy of food, but unfortunately I ran into Regin’s scouts.
It was a spear unit of only 3,000 men, but when Regin took the lead, it became a completely different unit.
They, along with the 5,000 slave troops that were escorting the wagons, formed a tight camp to deal with the prisoner troops.
The key was ultimately Regin himself.
The beastman unit put all their might into pressuring Regin, and Regin swung Balmung to break through the besieging unit as quickly as possible.
In the end, it was Regin who won.
They cut down 1,000 prisoners and stormed into the rear of the enemy camp.
It became a battle of 1 man versus 10,000 men.
However, it was actually the 10,000 people who were scared.
The area around Regin became empty. It was because everyone retreated to avoid battle with him.
Regin burst out laughing and attacked a group of beastmen. Dozens of lives were lost like flying flies.
The beastmen could no longer pressure the human army.
It seemed like today’s battle would also be recorded as a humiliating defeat.
At that moment, a wyvern descended from the sky.
The wyvern, with wings covered in fine hair and a long neck, flapped its wings while spitting out a lump of fire.
Regin retreated, covering his face due to the strong wind.
A girl got off the wyvern’s back.
The face could not be seen because of the bizarre mask.
The clothes also belonged to the demon race. Clothes filled with gold and black accessories barely covered her body.
Judging from her slender jawline and the height of her mouth, she seemed to be a young girl, but
given that she was a demon, such speculation was meaningless.
The moment Regin saw her, even the downy hair on his body seemed to rise up.
My heart was pounding vigorously whenever I secretly met eyes that I could not see clearly.
He was a tremendous powerhouse. No, there was something beyond simply being strong and weak.
The moment we met, my whole body became tense.
He added strength to the hand holding Balmung and slowly raised the shield.
The girl also moved along.
By taking wide shots to the left and right, the distance was quickly narrowed.
Regin held his shield forward. The aura spread its wings and engulfed all the space around it.
Aura was a power that was almost opposite to the demons.
The mere sight of the aura made the miscellaneous demons take a step back.
However, it did not seem to apply to the person in front of me.
The girl, who was running like lightning,
kicked the ground vigorously with her back foot.
He turned his body in the air and stretched out his hind legs.
It was an exciting kick.
The heel hit the exact center of Regin’s shield.
There was a crack in the aura. Regin was startled and summoned his body strength once again.
The aura that was on the verge of being torn apart was stitched back together and gave off an even more brilliant light.
But at that moment, the girl reversed her body again and
struck the center of the shield with her opposite foot once again.
The aura could not endure in the end and was shattered.
The light broke into fragments and tore the surroundings apart.
Regin immediately launched a counterattack.
The tip of Balmung’s sword entered the girl’s heart.
The girl raised her forearm and tried to hit the side of the sword. But Regin’s sword was not that easy.
The arm and the sword surface met, creating a flame, and Regin once again pressed the girl with his shield.
At that moment, the girl jumped back and flipped her body in the air.
Her kick hit Regin’s shield like a bolt of lightning.
The aura was shattered again.
Regin lost momentum and eventually took a step back.
It was a mystical experience.
A demon that can destroy the aura so easily!
On the other hand, Regin felt strange.
He protected himself with a shield and widened the gap further.
“Take off your mask and reveal your identity!”
Regin shouted.
But the girl only laughed, narrowed the distance again, and pressed Regin with both fists.
Regin showed extremely defensive movements.
And I looked closely at the girl’s movements.
The more I look at it, the more they resemble it.
“Migo!”
With that young nephew.
The girl stopped.
“I’ve already been caught.”
“Migo! “Why you!”
“I guess you haven’t heard the news.” Migo hopped on the wyvern and soared into the sky.
Regin asked as he cast a flight spell on himself and chased after her.
“What news?”
Only after reaching a place high enough to reach the clouds did Migo stop the wyvern.
The wyvern spread its wings wide and moved along the air current.
Regin looked at Migo with a puzzled expression.
“I am Demiurge, 667 years old.”
“No way! Does Sister Signy know that fact? “What about Brother Zeke?”
“If it’s your mother, you must have visited the demon world in person not long ago.”
“Have you been kidnapped again?”
“no. You came to play. “If I am the devil, who would kidnap my mother?”
Regin ended up making a blank expression in midair.
“More than that, how did your uncle become the official of the Verde Kingdom?”
“There were some circumstances.”
“What are the circumstances?”
“That… you can hear it from your mother later.”
“Why are your cheeks red?”
“He’s a demon lord! “Why are you like that? What about your father?”
“There are some circumstances.”
“Are you planning to make fun of your uncle?”
Migo smiled slightly. It jumped off the wyvern’s back and flew into Regin’s arms.
Regin was surprised and hugged Migo.
“This is thousands of meters in the air!”
“I missed you, uncle.”
For the first year of her life, Migo was raised by four people: Yul Geum and Signi Regin Lexia.
The affection had to be deep.
Regin sighed.
“You haven’t changed at all. “You can fly, right?”
“yes.”
Migo stepped into the sky. He spun around a step away from Regin and laughed.
“Uncle has become stronger. “It won’t be easy to subdue it even with my own strength.”
“That is what I will say. It was clearly the devil’s spirit… The moment I saw the kick, I thought of you.”
“My father handed over Ma Yeong-gi and Ma Hon. “The Demon Spirit is the source of the Demon King’s power, and the Demon Soul is the source of the Demon King’s skills.”
“Deus is he?”
“yes. “He has stepped down from the throne of the devil.”
“Irresponsibly! “Why did I pass on this terrible karma to you?”
“That’s why I said there were circumstances.”
“How did you escape from Nezar?”
Migo briefly told Regin what happened so far.
Regin was speechless for a long time after listening to the end.
“Did you… decide to become a demon king because you felt sorry for the demons?”
“I also want to protect my father’s honor.”
“It’s such a big sacrifice! If you look at your life, you are only two years old!”
“Uncle, this is not a sacrifice. “I am the
devil’s daughter.”
“She is also the daughter of a saint!”
Migo laughed at Regin’s shout. Then he erased his smile.
“Verde’s State Book Regin van Hollybitch W. There is something I would like to discuss with you. I believe that there are various circumstances on both their side and ours to continue the war like this. Why don’t you return the fortress to us and defeat the army? If you do that, the demons will never take a single step beyond that castle.”
“Migo!”
“please.”
Regin looked straight into Migo’s eyes.
Then he bowed his head deeply and answered.
“Demon King Demiurge, 667 years old. I understand your meaning well. It is not in our kingdom’s will to continue the war. I will defeat the army according to your will. Please keep your promise.”
“I swear on my mother’s name.”
“ Migo
soared into the sky and
climbed onto the wyvern’s back again.
“uncle! “See you again then.”
“Migo! “Stop being the devil!”
“no. I can’t abandon the demons who trust and rely on me. My uncle always taught me. “Helping the poor is the first duty of a warrior.”
“The opponent is a demon!”
“Demon blood flows through my body. I am a warrior. “I will become a warrior for the demons.”
Migo flew in a large circle around Regin. Then he turned around and
headed back to where he had left.
Regin watched Migo leave for a long time. I couldn’t leave the spot until it completely disappeared into a small dot.
The temporary truce between the Verde Kingdom and the demons came so suddenly.
In fact, it seemed like the human side had the advantage, but if you look at the circumstances, that wasn’t necessarily the case.
Local victories were being achieved by relying on a superman named Regin, but the human kingdom itself was facing great trials.
Those were the mugwort monsters.
Falling to the ground meant that the border with Mugwort’s domain had completely collapsed.
Even a small number of monsters that came through the Io volcano passageway devastated the entire kingdom.
Now monsters dozens of times the size have begun to climb the Joseon continent in search of food.
Although it was only the beginning, it was clear that if we did not have an effective defense system in place, they would become a threat greater than that of demons.
