Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 150

34. A friend comes from afar (3)

After Sadimus’ words, the conversation stopped for a moment.

“Is this too old-fashioned?” SIGNI slowly opened his mouth.

“Does that mean… even if things turn around, the situation may not turn out in Brother Zeke’s favor?”

“A hero must belong to the Hero Management Office of the Holy Hwangcheong. No one likes it when a person has too much charisma.

Even if the first hero is reborn, the Holy Emperor will try to manage him.”

Sadimus turned his eyes to Zeke.

“The problem is that you survived.”

” yes?”

“If you died fighting the devil, King Seonghwangcheong would put all kinds of rhetoric on your tomb and recite a long epic poem praising the warrior. They say that the hero who defeated the devil is the savior of mankind and that all wealth and honor should be given to him

. However, in reality, there is nothing special to be done other than recognizing that family as a D-class warrior family. But… if the last hero is alive, how should we treat him? Should we really give up the right to rule the world?”

“

There’s no need for that..” You defeated the devil. “If it weren’t for you, the world would have been destroyed?”

“We all did this together.”

“Well, it is true that defeating the Demon King cannot be done alone, but

it is also true that in terms of stake, Zeke, you take more than half.”

The sound of the giant’s footsteps approached, echoing in the night forest.

The forest shook and Nezar stuck his head out from between them.

“This is a saber tiger… Did you kill it, master?”

Nezar asked, lifting a tiger the size of a house and shaking it.

“Sabel Tiger?”

“It’s a tiger that went extinct in ancient times. Later, scholars revived it through genetic engineering and it became quite popular at zoos.”

“It’s hard to understand most of what Nezar says.”

“Haha, think of it as an ancient language. “If you don’t need Sabel Tiger, can I use it?”

“Do whatever you want. “Have you made all the weapons already?”

“First, we are gathering materials. Even if it were me, it would take a few days. “Then I’ll just go.” He carried the tiger’s body and walked out into the forest on the other side.

Sadimus saw this and said something.

“That guy… there was no need to increase his strength to the point where he could wander around a forest full of mugwort monsters by himself, right?”

“I guess I was tricked as expected.”

“I can’t. “I already gave permission.”

Zeke gave Signy a boiled tenderloin. But Signi shook his head, nauseated by the smell of meat.

The first night passed like that.

It wasn’t just the human world that was in trouble.

“Damn you bastards.” Deus

glared at the Seven Dukes who

were looking at his face one after another.

“Aren’t you going to awaken the ancient god of destruction to explode a volcano or something?… Your father has the key to control it, and his whereabouts are unknown right now? Besides, does this guy called my father pull up the roots of a pillar and blow it up and eat it? “Are you still holding your head in front of me?”

“It’s unfair!”

The dukes including Alex appealed at the same time as if they were singing in chorus.

“How unfair? Do you know who is really being wronged? I, a half-demon lord who has even lost his demon soul,

are told that a group of vassals are gathered together and that we will have to go to war 20 years from now? You have to fight a warrior? Who is feeling unfair? Are you feeling unfair to those of you who worked together and ruined the country? “Do you think it’s unfair that I have to fight against a warrior in that ruined country?”

“Self-employment…

“Just say out loud that it is profitable to own your own business. “I will tear up all 100 legs, coat them in flour, and fry them.”

“There has been more detail in the description of dishes. “I guess it’s thanks to Zeke.”

“Alex, you bastard, you are the problem.

“You went around instigating everything, right?”

“It can’t be like that, can it? “I was always by your side, assisting you.”

“It’s dark under the lamp, isn’t it?”

“I just did what Daroche told me.”

“Hehe, why do sparks fly in me? My plan was to draw the dragons into battle. “It was an attempt to increase the power of the demon world by causing trouble with the human warriors and breaking the non-aggression pact.”

“You two shut up. “If it fails as a result,

you have to take responsibility.” Daroche lowered his head.

“I will do my best to assist my lord so that we can win the next war.”

“So what kind of victory is this? Didn’t you see them fighting? It’s just Mahon, but don’t you know that the entire squadron died in an instant? 20 years later? “He will get stronger.”

“There is nothing to be afraid of.”

Deus’s expression became more displeased at Darosh’s booming voice.

“Do you think I’m scared? You guys are craving

it. “Find the demon spirit, place it in front of me, and then fight the warrior.”

“In the first place…

Alex began and Deus interrupted.

“Hey, put the frying pot on. “Fried Bihor the Bridge for dinner.”

“Please inform me!”

“What are you telling me to do? You guys know how selfish you are, right? If you leave because you don’t want to do it, it’s up to the rest of us to figure it out. Well, I figured it out. Hurry up and do it. If you’re ruined, you’ll live with ruin among yourselves. Why are you asking

me to take responsibility ?”

Shantrina, the master of lust, appeared in front of Deus.

“Master, don’t be too angry. “Isn’t this what happened while we were trying to do well?”

“Are they warriors of love, friendship, and justice? Sounds like effort. So what are you going to do? There might be two heroes over there. From Zeke to Generation Zero warriors. But for this one, even two won’t be enough, so why give half of it?”

“If all had gone well, we would have taken over half of the human world by now… It’s really unfortunate.”

The crater hit his knee with his fist.

“Please?”

At that time, a half-man, half-demon monster entered the Demon King’s palace, clattering with hoofs.

“Hey! We’re in big trouble! “The southern border has been breached, and mugwort monsters are attacking the people!”

“Ha…. They’re doing well. “It’s because of the volcano, right?”

Duke Seven looked the other way and Deus sighed and said.

“You guys take care of it. Because I don’t know. I quit the Demon King. You asked me to return Mayounggi before, right?

Take it you bastards! “It’s the same whether it’s this way or that way!”

The Seven Dukes quietly retreated from Deus, who was screaming loudly.

They moved to the conference room, saying they were going to solve the mugwort monsters.

Deus sat on the throne and pulled one leg up.

“Damn your subjects.”

I cursed before the start and took a deep breath.

Thanks to the wormwood monsters ascending to the human world through the volcano, the power of the kingdom was greatly weakened.

It would have been nice if it had stopped there, but they overdid it and started the invasion, but were hit by a counter called Zeke.

None of the Seven Dukes thought that Zeke would really stop the Demon King.

Although he was only half a demon lord, his power was enough to destroy the world.

On the other hand, Zeke’s power began to stand out only a few months ago

when he awakened his aura in Neuekan.

The level of pureblood was high, but it was not Generation Zero, and the technology was hardly top-notch.

In fact, predicting Mahon’s victory was not an unreasonable hope.

Deus sighed deeply while sitting on the throne.

This is why I tried to beat him up.

I can’t say I don’t know about this ruined house.

” Alex!”

Deus screamed.

The voice was loud enough to be heard even in the conference room next to it.

No, physical distance didn’t matter anyway. For a demon king to call a demon, it is enough to call the demon by name.

What if you don’t come?

It’s either dead or rebelling.

“Yeah! “My lord!”

The door burst open and Alex came rushing in.

“Do you forgive me for my convictions?”

“Report the current situation clearly. First of all, what about the combat troops? “How much did you steal last time?”

“That’s…

“Properly and without hiding anything.”

“The troops that participated were about 30% of the elite troops.”

“What is the survival rate?”

“About 52%…

“Did you blow away 20% of the elite?”

“About 15 percent.”

“Is it possible to recover within 20 years?”

“That’s…

“If that happens,

I wouldn’t even call it a loss. “It’s not something that an elite soldier can mold into something.”

Elite horsemen were those who were geniuses in their field.

Elite horse soldiers were created by training those who were born with elements that could make them stronger, such as combat sense and magic power.

“What about ordinary horsemen? “There’s no way there won’t be any damage.”

“Well, they’re fighting mugwort monsters now.”

“Are you fighting?”

“yes.”

“The mugwort monster is not attacking the earth, but the demon world?”

“That’s a lot less than what was on the ground!”

“It means that the border enclave has been completely breached. how? “Even mugwort monsters cannot pass through a land contaminated with mugwort.”

“Is that…

“Is it the volcano’s fault?”

” yes.”

“So that report wasn’t the first.”

“It is not enough for you to worry, my lord.”

” Alex.”

“yes.”

“Aren’t you a complete treacherous traitor now? That’s it! No need to worry. “It’s a regular comment from traitors.”

“sorry. “About 10% of the soldiers must be used to protect the border.”

“Including spares?”

“…If you add the troops to be replaced, we need a little more.”

“It’s increased again. “You traitorous bastard.”

“It’s unfair!”

“I told you to be honest. “No matter how the

government is run by you seven dukes and my role is to fight the hero, if you just gloss over it like this, even a winnable war will be lost, right?”

“We will secure power somehow. Don’t worry, my lord will strengthen his forces from now on…

“Reinforce your forces?”

“yes. Martial arts training or something…

“Oh, you’re making me angry again.”

“My lord!”

“Do you know where the experience and combat skills I need to learn are stored?”

“In Mahon…

“Where did that forty go?”

“It has disappeared.”

“Then what do you want me to learn? yes? Should I go out to the human world and learn swordsmanship and magic? Or do you want to teach me? Beholder Beam! Why not shoot me in the eye? “Are we all going to turn into rocks?”

“Don’t be so sarcastic, the records remain as documents…

“Learn martial arts by reading books? Do you see the details in the picture? Did you draw the pose of extending your fist and write the name of the technique underneath it? “They say that if you learn everything, you will become a master?”

“I think it is possible if you try hard.”

“This life is just ruined. After 20 years, it would be better to give up on the war and move on.”

“Do not be weak-hearted.”

“Are you weak both physically and mentally? Ha ah…”

The sighs only increased.

Alex asked cautiously.

“Why…did you come back?”

“what?”

“You said so stubbornly that you wouldn’t come back.”

“Then why did you come back? I didn’t come here because you guys robbed my base. “If we leave it alone, the demon world will truly be destroyed.”

“As expected, my lord, you have not forgotten the Demon World. My convictions have eased by an hour. Win! “My lord, you can do it.”

Deus looked straight into Alex’s eyes.

I felt burdened by those gazes and was about to avoid my eyes.

A demon with a long beard walked into Daejeon.
