Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 355

80. Reaching the final battlefield (5)

Deus tried to rush at Lucifer, regardless of the black water.

Yulgeum hurriedly pulled his arm to stop him.

“no!”

” why?”

“That black water… is the angel’s curse.”

“I’m not scared of the living ones, so what can I do about the dead ones?”

“It’s not something to talk about so lightly. “You have to step down first.”

“Leave that behind?”

“She… won’t move for a while.”

“what do you mean?”

“Because he is the one who caused the curse. With the opposite wealth, you must witness the completion of the curse. “Let’s talk about complicated things later and take a step back.”

Deus shook off Yulgeum’s hand and stepped forward.

I tread black water.

At that moment, my calf melted and disappeared

.

If Yulgeum had not pulled it back, the sword would have fallen into the water and melted.

Deus took a step back with a surprised look on his face. Since it was the devil’s body, the feet that had melted away were quickly restored.

“I told you to step back!”

“Don’t scream.”

Deus stepped back, digging his ear hole.

The cursed black water slowly spread out. At best, it was only the speed of a human running.

However, there seemed to be no intention of stopping the slow march.

Before we knew it, it began to overflow from the roof of the Demon King’s Palace and pour down.

At that time, Deus shouted loudly.

“Alex you damn bastard!”

Alex appeared in front of him.

“Yes yes? What is this…

“Before you blame me, take the demons and run away. The world is being swallowed up by black water that dissolves and destroys all living things.”

“…What kind of accident did you get into again?”

“It’s not me.”

“Then

“Demiurge I. No, Lucifer did it.”

“Is he here?”

“Him? You stupid bastard. “That crazy woman is trying to destroy the world.”

“That can’t be possible…

“Should I pick you up and throw you into the water? “Is what I said true or false?”

Alex shook his head. I don’t know what

it was, but it looked unusual.

“hurry!”

“Yes old!”

Alex gathered the demonic peacocks that way and delivered Deus’ orders. It was when the black water had completely engulfed the Demon King’s Palace that the demons began to escape from the demon Eidos and take refuge.

“The human world too…

Zeke cried out as he watched them evacuate.

“It would be dangerous. “If it continues like this.”

“Master Deus. “I ’m going to visit Regin for a while

.”

“Shall I open the warp gate?”

“It’s only a short distance.”

“Well, if it were you now…

Zeke’s super speed was difficult to chase even with Deus’ evil eye.

You can predict his movements with a fighting sense that can be called a sixth sense, but if you really follow him with your eyes, you will never be able to follow him.

“Go and come. In the meantime, I will find a way to save the world.”

“Yes, Deus.”

Zeke said hello to Deus and then

flew north.

Deus turned his eyes and looked at Signi.

I tried opening my mouth, but I couldn’t get the words out. What can I say to that downcast child?

Then I looked at Yulgeum.

“Why do you think I’m taking you with me, even though I’m buying you food?”

Yulgeum sighed.

“Apart from your selfish line, which interprets facts and causal relationships completely arbitrarily. sorry. “I have no choice right now.”

“why?”

“Even if you ask why… the angel’s curse is absolute.”

“Then it must be destroyed?”

“Honestly, I don’t know. Because there has never been an angel sincerely wishing for the destruction of mankind and pouring out a curse. An angel kills an angel. “It’s a terrible thing just to think about.”

“I heard they hunted fallen angels.”

“Please don’t use the word hunting. “I just caught them and locked them up.”

“So, try to find a way.”

“There is only one thing to do now

.”

“what is that?”

“First, remove the source of the curse.”

“Lucy Pell…

“You have to kill her. “That is the first step to breaking the curse.”

Yulgeum looked straight at Lucifer.

Did he even hear that?

She raised the corners of her mouth. Deus looked down at his fist.

And then I saw Lucifer again.

“That’s

SIGNI, who approached with weak steps and grabbed Deus’ hand.

“Please don’t kill Migo.” With an embarrassed look on his face, Deus pushed away Signi’s hand.

Yulgeum said.

“That is no longer Migo. “That poor little boy is already dead.”

“He’s a strong kid. Migo…

“Lucifer is a meticulous being. If he had decided to take that body, he would have taken it perfectly. He wouldn’t have done something like

clumsily leaving Migo’s soul behind…

“No, Yulgeum. no.”

“What is the basis?”

“Migo… was leaning on my lap just a little while ago. He was a loser who ruled half the world. Such a strong child…

“Stop. If it’s a sentimental story, I’ll listen to it calmly later. Don’t shake the deus. “For now, all I have to think about is killing Lucifer.”

“Lord Yulgeum…

SIGNI looked at Yulgeum.

Yulgeum avoided her gaze. It was hard to handle.

Deus crossed his arms.

Every time he took a step back as the black water encroached, Lucifer moved that much further away.

The backsliding continued for hours, even days.

Half of the demon world has been engulfed. Until then, Deus had just crossed his arms and glared in Lucy Fell’s direction.

Yulgeum said quietly.

“I didn’t know you thought of your daughter like this

.”

Deus turned his eyes to Signi, who was praying.

“Why?”

“what?”

“Why did Lucifer get Migo? “Is the body that important?”

“ …that is …

“I think the answer is in there.” Deus took another step back.

It seemed like he wouldn’t come forward until he got the answer.

Even if this world is destroyed.

Regin heard the story about destruction from Zeke.

Zeke was wearing an eye patch to hide the shimmering darkness of the abyss.

Regin looked at his lost eyes and couldn’t ask why.

They just listen to the story that the ancient demon king Demiurge I cursed this world to destroy it and that black water is encroaching on this world.

The Kingdom of Verde, ruled by Regin’s wife April,

was directly on the border with the Demon World, so knights from all over the world gathered there in a dispatched form.

A considerable amount of time had passed since it had served as a feudal lord, and at its center was an outstanding warrior named Regin van Holwitsch.

The human kingdom began to prepare preparations for the rampage of the first Demon King.

Of course, Zeke recommended evacuation, but the knights, wizards, and their followers did not seem to have any intention of retreating easily.

A counter-army was soon formed.

The surviving Zodiac Knights and Cathedral

Knights also played a part.

After the mission to assassinate Deus failed right before the start, Libra’s Zodiac Knight Cadenza was in despair for a while.

However, upon hearing that Regin had begun to gather an army against the demon world, he stepped forward, claiming to be the leader.

The main knights Actor and Jushak, who guarded Neuekan along with Zeke, also participated in the human army.

Lache and Sadimus also moved here from Rosdia. Zeke called to help Regin.

Since he had to return to Deus soon, he wanted to give Regin at least one strong ally.

After everything was done, Zeke returned to Deus.

Two full weeks have passed since then.

Even then, Deus had not relaxed his arms.

“Jik.”

“Yes, Deus.”

“Can you kill Migo?”

” yes?”

“The lives of humanity, and

of all life living on this Earth, are at stake

.”

“Ah…

humans were gathering all their wisdom to stop the black water.

It looked like a liquid, so they built a dam.

But it’s more like a shadow.

It spread as if it were a shadow of the eclipse and was not blocked by anything.

It overflowed to a high place.

Neither magic nor engineering meant anything. Even prayers were not heard.

Some people jumped into the black water like moths .

I’m tired of fear.

But the conclusion was that it just melted away.

The black water slowly grew in size. It has now encroached on land within a radius of 1,000 kilometers.

Regin took in all kinds of people and devised a way to stop the dark water.

Later, even fairies and dwarves gathered together.

Even dragons.

Another Rosdia

was created in the temporary army belonging to the Verde royal family.

But the real battlefield was here. There was no one in this world who could end this situation other than Deus, who had his arms crossed.

“I will kill you.”

“lie. “A softie like you?”

“What is a soft tang?”

“It’s soft because it fell apart.”

“I am a warrior. “I would kill even my beloved nephew to protect humanity.”

“And you apologize by dying?”

” yes.”

“That is not a great knight, but a dragon apostle.”

Zeke scratched his head.

“I can only answer that way.”

“Honestly, it’s close to the correct answer, but… Deus glanced back at SIGNI.

She continued to pray to God, avoiding the black water, as if she were doing three steps and one double.

My knees were worn out and bled several times.

Before the scab came off, my knee was torn again.

It was difficult to stop him from doing it.

Yulgeum was waiting with his eyes closed.

It was impossible to defeat Lucifer by myself. Lucifer became such a huge monster.

While waiting for Deus to declare war, he was preparing to subdue Lucifer at any time.

I sharpened my mind like sharpening a blade.

Leaving those two far away, Deus walked around the black water as if taking a walk on the beach.

“It seems like a trap.”

“A trap?”

“I would do that.”

“Well, Lucifer is also Demiurge I.”

“The one who mixed his own blood with Homunculus is the later demon king.”

“Deus-sama’s way of thinking won’t be much different from Lucifer’s, right?”

“It feels bad to be tied together, but… honestly, I feel like what he’s done so far is very reasonable. 1 plus

1 is 2.

” This isn’t the last time he wakes up Nezar. It’s distracting our attention. What I really wanted was to make Migo. That’s why, at the last moment, I thoughtlessly threw away the card called Nezar, which had even resurrected a fairly useful weapon called Gilgamesh.”

“Are you saying you planned this because you wanted to get Migo’s body?”

“that’s right. Moreover, in this crazy act of trying to erase all life in the world…

it is difficult for me to feel any malice.”

“To Deus, isn’t malice a compliment?”

“No, it is, but that is the malice you are talking about. “I don’t understand people who hate the world and want to erase it all.”

“ Then,

“It actually feels like I’m praying.” “That signature rum over there.”

“It’s a contradiction.”

“yes?”

“Seeing you talk so much, it looks like you’ve come to a conclusion.”

“Ugh” o’-

“Are you going to kill Migo?”

“no. “The one I’m trying to kill is Lucifer.”

“But…

“My goal is only Lucifer.” Deus said this and turned around.

He walked toward Signi. He snatched the wrist of the woman who was kneeling in prayer and lifted it up.

“Master De Deus?” Deus, who

had been watching the perplexed Signi for a moment,

suddenly held her in his arms.

He wrapped his arms around his back and waist and pressed his cheek to his cheek.
