Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 234

53. Street vendor of devils, angels, and heroes

Deus said something.

“In the end, nothing has been gained from a year of war.”

“Shh. “Your voice is too loud.”

Yulgeum stopped Deus from speaking.

she asked again.

“Isn’t it what you wanted?”

“It’s also what you wanted, right?”

“I do not know. What does God want

? Anyway, we are relieved because we no longer have to get involved in the war started by humans.”

“Did the Balaur suffer much damage as well?”

“huh. More than 10,000 people died. “After the giants intervened, the damage increased significantly.”

“You mean the Adapas?”

“that’s right. Highly intelligent giants who use magical weapons. “Not to mention physical abilities… they’re not called high-level humans for nothing.”

“You also have outstanding recovery abilities, right?”

“Adapa is the crystallization of evolution. This is because the genes

have been modified and developed to the most perfect state. Nanomachines are also used to aid rapid body repair. “I don’t think we have been able to make it that far yet due to limitations in technology.”

“What are nanomachines?”

“You can think of it as a small bug.”

“Are you growing bugs in your body?”

“It’s so small that you can’t see it. It travels around the body, repairing wounds and returning damaged tissues to normal. “It also kills small bugs that cause diseases, such as bacteria and viruses.”

“If you plant it in your body,

it will literally give you immortality.”

“that’s right. In the case of Nezar, even part of his body was replaced with an artificial one. “I literally gained eternal life.”

“If the Adapas go there… tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of Nezars will be born?”

“You can’t leave it until that happens. So when does your plan start? “I’ve been doing business for over a month now.”

“We still need more time.”

“I don’t know what it is. Anyway,

if you need help, let me know anytime.”

“It’s a problem that requires me to become stronger, so I’ll just accept it for now.”

Deus made a deep smile.

What on earth was Yulgeum thinking? He couldn’t understand what was inside that black thing.

Meanwhile, at that time the Kingdom of Verde was south of Acoma Castle.

Numerous officers, noble saints, and dragon saints gathered in the central hall of the newly created Seonghwangcheong.

“The people gathered here are the winners

. For a long time, we humans have always suffered from the cruel attacks of demons. 100 years ago, Saint Joseph, who was a prosperous man, was beheaded by a demon assassin, and the cruel demons appeared at the entrance to the demon world, waving Saint Joseph’s head like a flag. What about the war 400 years ago? In order to humiliate the saint, didn’t he lure women from various families into a dream, brainwash them, and make them crawl on all fours naked like animals? Terrible demons! And now, for the first time in history, we have been able to set foot on the devil’s land

. “If we don’t call this a victory, then what can we call a victory?”

The person standing on the podium was Cardinal Lecheulet.

Over the past year, Seonghwang’s health has deteriorated significantly.

It seemed like he was putting too much strain on his aging body because he was focusing on the war.

Naturally, power shifted to Le Chulet.

Since they were not particularly anti-imperialists, the emperor was in the process of handing over power to Lesulet one by one.

“Victors. Be proud of what you have accomplished. Raise your glass. Seonghwangcheong expresses its utmost respect for your great achievements. amen.”

“Ah 一 Men!”

It started with a congratulatory message from the cardinal, but it was not a mass but a drinking party for warriors.

The pious priests had no choice but to take a step back.

The lid of the keg was opened and the meat oven lid was lifted.

The main characters of this party were definitely the members of Ascalon.

At the beginning of the war, the members were announced as an official group, and since then, as the main force on the battlefield, they have achieved great results in the most dangerous places.

The president of the Askaron Sword Saint Association was a Holy Knight of Cadenza Pan Holy Peach Libra.

He achieved countless achievements in this war and received the title of honorary duke from the kings of five countries.

I was having a busy time amidst the attention of many people.

Although it was a half success, it was just as the Cardinal mentioned.

It was the first battle in which humans invaded the Demon World, and at one point they even advanced to the Demon King’s Castle.

Just drawing the topographical map of the Demon World was no small achievement.

On the other hand, Regin found it difficult to fit in with such people.

Among the people with beards and pretending to be adults were halfbloods who I went to school with when I was young. Regin

grew to hate humans

as he watched them change their attitude arbitrarily according to the times, such as bullying him, then revering him, then bullying him again .

Now that they are older, most people try to pass over the events of that time as if they were just memories.

In fact, Regin didn’t really care right now.

But I couldn’t think it was nothing.

The gears that did not fit together creaked. My natural feet kept pointing towards the outside of the stage.

I used the heat as an excuse to go out to the balcony. Seeing the garden makes me feel a little better.

“It was in a place like this.”

“Miss Lexia.”

“Do you hate hanging out with people?”

Lexia, smiling as she held out her glass, was wearing a knight’s uniform today.

Although she fought as a saint, her nature was closer to that of a warrior. The flowy dress was very uncomfortable.

If you think about it, the first warriors and saints of this expedition were Regin and Lexia.

If they had stayed from the beginning to the end of the war, they would have been the main characters, not Cadenza.

People

no longer asked questions about the two’s mysterious disappearance.

I heard that I did what the angel told me to do, so what more can I ask?

Regin accepted the drink that Lexia gave him.

It had a sweet fruity scent.

“Lexia, wouldn’t you rather be over there?”

“Me too, not really. “After being in such a great place, everything feels boring.”

“Haha, that’s right.”

The place where the Dragon God raised the Demon King’s daughter.

Neuekahn’s safe house was a place where all common sense of the world did not apply.

“Migo… was he saved?”

“If you had done that, you would have let us know.”

“You never know. Everyone, be careful in moderation. “He might be setting up a food stall in some castle right now.”

“No way!”

Lexia looked at the smiling Regin with a straight face.

“It’s not possible.”

“Then why didn’t you follow me?”

“huh’?”

“I mean my brother.”

“Ah,

Lexia’s expression darkened slightly, then smiled again.

“I’ve liked you alone for too long.”

“That’s why we need to talk about our feelings even more.”

“The problem is that you are alone.”

“Because my brother is dull…

“It has nothing to do with Zeke. It’s my problem. Because I liked it alone, expected it alone, and imagined it alone, it somehow became out of alignment with reality. Even with the person in front of me… I liked

14-year-old Zeke.”

“You don’t like it because I’m old?”

“Who are you turning into a pervert now?”

Lexia got a little angry and spoke with a sigh.

“Maybe what I liked was the era itself, 10 years ago. The situation itself where I was next to Zeke as a young boy growing up. This time, I found out by standing in front and talking. “As a woman, I didn’t like Zeke, a man.”

“That’s a bit of a shame.”

” what?”

“I think it would be nice to have Lexia join the family.”

“I don’t know. “I don’t have the confidence to handle Zeke, who is casually friends with the Demon King.”

When I met Zeke after 10 years, I somehow didn’t feel like he was a human being.

Demigod (God).

It wasn’t wrong. That’s why Lexia, an ordinary human, didn’t have the confidence to handle him.

“When I came to my senses, I was 29 years old. “Because we can’t end the Holy Oak family line

… I have to find a suitable man somewhere and have children.”

Lexia smiled and asked Regin.

“how about you?”

” What?”

“You are the current Holly Bitch. I need to have a child. Your family has already been ruined for three generations. A child from Generation Zero…

Lexia, who was speaking, closes her mouth.

“There’s Migo!”

“Yes.”

“But Migo…

“It’s difficult, Migo.”

“I see.”

“Anyway, you should keep going.”

“I…

At that time, a woman spoke from behind Regin.

“Regin!”

She was a tall woman, about 175 feet tall.

She, who had a slightly thin body and high cheekbones, ran towards Regin and wrapped her arms around him. It took

Regin

some time to remember who she was.

“Oh, you…

“It looks like you forgot your wife’s name.”

“wife?”

“Not just my wife. “Are you planning on calling the woman who gave birth to your child something other than wife?”

Regin frowned.

He said, taking her arm away.

“kid?”

“yes.”

“You and I have a child?”

“sure.”

“You’re crazy.”

Harilde’s expression hardened.

“Are you planning on denying it?”

“What are you denying?”

“What happened that night?”

Regin looked around.

The first thing I noticed was Lexia’s expression.

She barely managed to keep an indifferent expression.

Next, Regin turned his eyes to the inside of the banquet hall.

Instead of the kings of other countries sending representatives, Queen April

came here in person.

Regin has not yet had a separate conversation with her.

I didn’t have time for that.

We pretended not to know each other and only exchanged a glance from afar.

I didn’t want this nonsense to reach her ears.

Regin got angry.

“You’re making up nonsense.”

“The name of the child you and I have is Josh. His Majesty Cardinal Lecheulet himself became my godfather. Are you planning to bring shame

to him and our Holly Spindle family ?”

Regin’s attitude was stern, and Harilde’s face turned pale with anger.

But it was nothing compared to Regin’s feelings.

There was nothing that could have led to having children with her.

There were rumors that he had dragged a woman into the barracks, but in reality Regin rarely entered his barracks. It was because I didn’t want to run into Harilde.

But she gave birth to a child. You

gave birth to a child you don’t even know whose seed you are,

and then you get angry at yourself!

“Regin! Do you think you can get away with this humiliation? I will formally report you to the Imperial Office. “Do you think that I, the Holly Spindle family, will abandon the shameless act of abandoning my wife and child?”

The Hollyspindle family was the principality monarch of the Erion Federation.

Although their grade was only A, in terms of power, they were one of the world’s leading warrior families.

Regin, on the other hand, came from a family of black warriors

and had absolutely nothing he could call his own.

The disadvantages ate up the advantages, so there were not even a handful of people on the same side.

It was literally the difference between an elephant and an ant.

“Please apologize to me now. Then I will forgive you. “Is there anything that family members can’t forgive?”

“family? That child can’t be mine. “Because there was nothing between you and me that deserved it.”

“You plan to lie to the end!”

“I guess you are the one lying.

“Aren’t you afraid of God?”

“Whose side do you think Seonghwangcheong will be on?”

“What I said was God. Not Seonghwangcheong!”

“You talk about the Holy Emperor and God separately. You do not acknowledge the fact that His Holiness the Holy Emperor is the representative of God.”
