Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 72

17. Traveling to the Demon World (2)

“Do you know why this place is forbidden?”

“I don’t know!”

“It’s where the morning star first fell.”

“Lucy Pell…

“I see you know.”

“of course. “He is Demiurge I.”

“The first demon king took out demons from the pot of evil spirits and created the demon world. And for 100 years, they gathered goblins,

dragons, monsters, and beastmen and invaded the human world. But the result was defeat. “It devastated half of the human world, but the Demon King himself lost his life at the hands of a hero.”

“And then 100 years later, Demiur Goth II attempted to land again, but the results were disastrous. “Rather than taking over the land after being repelled by humans who were fully prepared, most of the demons were killed, right?”

A rocky hill rising like a sword and a staircase leading through the gap.

At the end of a narrow road covered

entirely in black obsidian, there was a rock with an arch-shaped hole.

Beyond the hole stretched a dark green swamp.

“Is this the pot of evil spirits?”

“that’s right.”

“They say Lucifer was a very outstanding angel. He, who was favored by God, had this thought one day. Why can’t I be God? “That arrogance became a sin and eventually resulted in the punishment of exile.” Yulgeum walked down the path leading to the swamp

and continued the story of

Lucy Fell as if reciting an ancient myth .

“It was a long time ago, but it’s not like that from your perspective, right? At most, it happened 666 centuries ago. “You were alive then.”

“That’s right.”

“Do you know each other by any chance? Lucifer and.”

“You decided not to talk about age, right?”

“It’s not about age, it’s about friendship.”

“Anyway, I’m going to push ahead with the setting that I don’t know about those old stories. How could a 14-year-old beautiful girl meet a devil from 666 years ago ?

“Anyway, why did you come to this place called Geumyeok?”

“I thought about a place in the demon world where demons don’t live, but this is the only place.”

“If you’re hiding, does that mean it’s around here?”

“yes.”

The swamp, which was bubbling and spewing out gases, was highly acidic.

There wasn’t a single blade of grass growing around.

The oxidized metal rocks form strange shapes, as if they were the inhabitants of this place.

“The Devil’s Cauldron is exactly what the name

suggests. The whole green swamp is boiling. “It’s a land where even demons with strong vitality cannot live!”

“He’s the first demon king or whatever, and he’s a nuisance from the 666th century. “The land was rendered unusable and the war was lost.”

“If you get caught in your teeth, even the previous Demon King would be merciless.”

“If you are an ancestor 666 generations above, you are just a stranger. Even if you count the number of villages, it is 666 villages. “If you want to be treated like an ancestor, you can appear and hand over something.”

“Well, even gods ignore ancestors.”

“Why don’t you just ignore me? Even God ignores things like this world, right?”

“Are you ignoring me?”

“Or are you going to just let the demons attack the human world for 666 centuries?”

“You give an oracle to raise a warrior.”

“If you think about it, is that so?”

Deus stopped as soon as he finished speaking.

“arrive.”

“This is…

“The singularity of the fallen angel.”

A black star

floats before the eyes of the two beings.

Around the star, small planets resembling dust were orbiting rapidly.

The radius of the final orbit was about 10 meters.

It wasn’t a very big space, but Yulgeum didn’t dare to go there.

An energy that even Jin Geum-yong could not match was flowing in a lump.

“You’d better not touch it. “Unless you want to become one-armed Jin Geum-yong.”

“I don’t even think about that. It’s really amazing.

“It’s my first time seeing it in person.” “What is that and has it been maintained for over 600 centuries?”

“Karma Vortex.”

“What is it?”

“It’s literally a vortex of karma.”

Deus is said to be a karma vortex.

“Karma Vortex.”

“Kamma is a picture of the relationship that builds up between existence and the world. Just as gravity is created where there is mass, a magnetic field is created around a magnet.”

“Are you saying that karma arises around beings

?”

” that’s right.”

“And that karma swirling… seems to have been too powerful.”

“That’s the way it is.”

“It means that he was a being so powerful that a vortex was created just by appearing in this world.”

When Yulgeum nodded, Deus snorted.

“So you were defeated by humans?”

“That means,

“I don’t want to go anywhere and say I’m a demon.”

Yulgeum asked, shrugging his shoulders.

“What are you going to do now?”

“Well, shall we try to destroy it first?”

“huh?”

“This is it. “It is a sacred relic of a sacred place.”

Deus raised his hand and aimed at Lucifer’s Karma Vortex.

“You think about the next thing and then act, right?”

“no.”

“I think I explained it carefully just now… There is an enormous amount of energy flowing here. So much so that the energy of existence hovers around for 666 centuries

.”

“okay?”

“Listen to what I say!”

“Then tell us how to find Alex.”

“How do I know that?”

“I don’t know either.”

“How about we start by questioning the premise that the two are alive in the first place?”

“No, those bastards are alive.”

“It’s a denial of reality!”

“No. “We have to break this first.”

“I told you not to do it.”

“are you okay. Because the things of the demon world are mine. “What big deal will it be if I break something that’s mine?”

“Look up there!”

Yulgeum pointed his finger to the sky.

There was a cloud-like film. It felt like a dark dark cloud hanging low.

“It’s Jose Continent.”

“however?”

“If we destroy the Karma Vortex, it will have a huge impact not only on the demon world but also on the human world.”

“That’s good. “After all, the goal of the demons is to invade the human world.”

“The purpose is to steal, not to destroy.”

“It’s okay to hit it and break it. Because the sun will shine through that gap. “You don’t have to live on the continent of Horse, do you?”

“You’re really thoughtless.”

“Ugh, I changed the taffy. It’s dangerous, so step back. As you said, it would be good to see whether the continent of Jose is broken or not.”

Yulgeum

stood in front of Deus with a stern expression.

“If a bad boy tries to behave as he pleases, a proper adult would be to shake him off, right?”

“Didn’t we decide not to talk about age?”

“It’s not about age. “It’s a story about the relationship between an adult and a child.”

Yulgeum put his hand into his sleeve.

When she appeared again, what she was holding in her hand was a sword.

The single-edged sword with a smooth edge was housed in a white scabbard decorated with gold

.

Deus laughed.

“Would you like the last battle to be a no count?”

“Do whatever you want. Instead, I promise not to do anything reckless if I succeed in stopping you.”

“Well, that will happen even if I don’t swear, right?”

Yulgeum took the sword out of its sheath and took a breath.

“Why travel while eating delicious food? “It looks like there’s going to be a fight from the beginning.”

“It’s just right, right? Between us.”

Deus took the first step.

The magic spirit energy exploded within his body, covering both fists in darkness.

The air around him was distorted by Ma Yingqi’s energy. Yulgeum’s expression became tense.

Yulgeum pointed the tip of the sword he held in one hand towards Deus’s philtrum.

Her other hand was hidden behind her back.

It was Deus who moved first.

Yulgeum’s left hand was what really bothered me, but I wasn’t the type to hesitate.

Leaving behind a remnant, he closed the distance in an instant

and stretched out both hands to Yulgeum. The black vortex in my hand exploded and spread out.

“Dark spiral explosion!”

“The butterfly of the moon, Gyeongwolhwangeom (境越幻劍)!”

The first blows of the two beings were intertwined.

The Demon King’s blow was a force that could destroy anything in the world.

The dark spiral, which amplifies and explodes the demon spirit energy that is a compilation of the power of past demon kings in a spiral shape, will not let go completely even if the person in front of it is a god

.

On the contrary, Yulgeum’s sword was a sword.

The boundary between existence and nothingness collapsed, and Deus’ blow tore it into hundreds of pieces.

A huge burst of energy and a phantom sword that freely coils and scatters it.

The battle between the two looked like a torrent and a ferry boat floating there.

The boatman avoids the toppling waves of the current just by lightly shaking the pole.

However, it could not be said that the boatman controlled the river.

Even a moment of inattention or mistake will cause the boat to capsize.

Despite the fierce battle between the two beings, not even the slightest scratch was created in the Karma Vortex.

Karma is the crystallization of fate.

Because of that karmic vortex, all beings around also maintained their strong form.

When the deflected dark spiral touched the Devil’s Cauldron, a huge explosion occurred.

The highly acidic swamp suddenly erupted, and the land beneath it cracked like a turtle’s shell.

However, immediately after that, the surroundings returned to their original state, like a movie where the frame was cut off.

The space that refused even the simple cause and effect of being destroyed by an explosion was the Karma Vortex’s domain.

Because of this, it was a battle that turned the world upside down, but its impact on the demon world was infinitely close to zero.

The quiet battle

became more and more violent, with not a single bystander appearing.

Deus’ attacks became simpler as time passed.

Gather your energy and spread it out.

The magic energy poured out like a waterfall, devastating the surrounding area.

The yulgeum moved within it as if dancing.

Like sowing seeds on the ground that has been torn apart, we maintain harmony between cause and effect.

The Demon King and the Dragon God.

The battle between the two beings continued until dusk, dawn, and the moment the sun rose.

Deus crossed his fists and stretched them out.

But the darkness no longer rose.

The Demon Spiritual Energy has been depleted.

What blocked the bare fist stretched out in the air was Yulgeum’s Jingeum Sword.

Her sword barely moved. It has gone beyond slowness and has reached immobility.

There is no strength left.

Nevertheless, the room where her sword was pointed was accurate.

Deus’s fist

lost its direction due to the blade of the sword, passed by Yulgeum with a staggered step, and ended up falling to his knees on the floor.

Yulgeum looked at his sword and sighed.

“It’s a draw.”

“I have no intention of insisting that it was a draw like this.”

My bent knees did not straighten.

It was as if he was crying with both knees on the ground, feeling a humiliation greater than the damage he had suffered in battle.

“No, I don’t anymore…

Yulgeum put his sword in its sheath.

If I turned around and swung my sword, I could take the Demon King’s head, but I didn’t even have that much strength left.

“Besides, he didn’t fight in his true form as the Demon Lord.”

“Isn’t that common?”

Deus sat down on the floor in that state.

It was to absorb the energy of the demon world and fill the demon spirit energy.

Yulgeum also took a deep breath to recover his energy.

Although it was just a little bit, it gathered enough strength to move.

“The fight was a draw, but I

won the bet.”

Deus smiled bitterly at Yulgeum’s words.

“Do you think the demons will keep their promises?”

“The person I made a promise to is not the Demon Lord. It is Deus.”

What more can I say about a pretty smiling face?

“Now then, let’s start again with something delicious.”

Deus slowly shook his head at Yulgeum’s words.
