Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 46

——

11. Hunting a Giant (2)

“I know.”

“I know. Hydra, mechanical golems, even the earth dragons I fought before… If I had been using normal weapons, I would have died in a matter of minutes.”

The moment Zeke said this, something rattled on the table.

“Wind-up clock?”

Yulgeum opened his eyes wide.

“Oh yeah. “I received it as a gift from the basement

.”

“I received something really precious.”

“ah! “If you like it, I’ll give it to Yulgeum.”

“No, no. Why did I get what Zeke got? “I keep it well.”

“If you set the time when cooking, it cries on its own, which is convenient.”

Zeke stopped the alarm clock and opened the oven door.

The caramelized, sweet-smelling sauce was still sizzling on the crispy surface of the pig’s trotters.

“and! “The smell is no joke.”

Yulgeum put his hands together and spoke as if praying.

“I made it as a test, so it’s okay to serve it to customers. “Please try it.”

The meat attached to the bones was cut and served on a plate. The dark brown ripened flesh glistened deliciously.

Zeke then presented the dwarves’ traditional drink. It was a foamy liquor made by fermenting ingredients such as barley and persimmons that grow underground.

“Hof and Schweinhaxen? You can sell it. “I’m sure it will be successful, right?”

“really?”

“Yes, it’s really delicious.”

Yulgeum raised his thumb.

“It’s so noisy. Why don’t you hire a full-time artist and leave pictures of food that you can keep for your entire life?”

“Good idea. “We put it up in the square and use it for publicity.”

Yulgeum spoke to Zeke, simply accepting Deus’s words.

“Shall we give it a try? “I think if you’re a good painter, you’ll be able to promote it properly.”

“Later. Even if the number of customers increases, I don’t think we can handle it now. After all,

my main job is to be a warrior.”

Zeke asked Deus with a smile on his face.

“But… Deus-sama.”

“huh?”

“Until now, I’ve just been quietly following Deus-sama’s work… but if you tell me to do so in the future, I will. But…

“If you have something to say, say it.”

“What are we looking for?”

“You heard it all.”

“yes. It was a story about a dragon making a deal with demons.”

“Literally.”

“Is the dragon I met in Zoryx Village the day I met Deus-sama also related?”

“That’s right. “That dragon was also poisoned by demon poison.”

“Somehow… I thought it was strange why they suddenly attacked Zoryx Castle when there was a peace treaty between dragons and humans.”

Zeke said, clenching his fists.

“There was a demon involved.” Deus stared at Zeke’s face.

He had an expression that was rarely seen. Zeke, who always seemed like a sweet boy, had his eyes distorted with anger.

The object of that hatred was the demon race.

Because he is a warrior, he hates enemies he has never seen.

“That’s why you follow me quietly.”

“yes. I know it’s a huge deal. “It’s an incident involving a dragon and a demon… I guess what I need is to hide their identities, right?”

Deus did not answer that question.

Zeke immediately read the mood and

bowed his head.

“sorry. “It was presumptuous.”

” Hey.”

“Yes, Deus.”

“You just have to live your life.”

“yes’?”

“It won’t disturb you too much.”

“You’re interfering! I…

“I don’t really disturb you. So, even if you feel like you were deceived in the distant future… or maybe in the near future, you can just leave it alone and move on with your life.”

Zeke tilted his head.

It was a puzzling statement.

Yulgeum smiled bitterly and passed the barley potato hops down his throat.

“But you know.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“Do you six dukes have nothing to do?”

“You mean the Seven Dukes?”

“One died.”

“ah! “I was mistaken.”

“ah! I was mistaken too. Oh, the dukes.”

“My lord!”

“It looks like there’s nothing to do.”

“What do you mean?”

“You are wheat, you. Is it okay for you to stay next to me all the time and act as the store manager?”

“Why are you tormenting me again on a sunny weekend morning? Am I here because I want to be here? “If you go back to the demon world, I won’t have to pretend to be human in a place like this.”

“Stop scratching the bowl. When you go back, you’re in a position where there’s nothing to do, right? “You and me.”

“Why is there nothing to do? There are many combat skills that my lord has not learned yet.

“Isn’t it true that group combat techniques are perfectly handled by Demonic Spirituality?”

“This is perfect. “Jin Geum-yong is also a winner.”

“Do not be conceited! Complacency is the biggest enemy of growth. “My lord, you still have another 20 years to grow.”

“20 years… Don’t talk like you have a limited life.”

“That’s not what I meant. This means that growth can continue until the war 20 years later

.”

“I know that much. “What are you doing?”

“I need to make the 100,000 Beholder army I lead even more powerful.”

“Well, you’re in charge of everything that looks like an octopus, right? People like kraken and jellyfish.”

“I command all the invertebrate demons.”

“The reptile was Daroche?”

“Including amphibians.”

“Is that bastard really dead?”

“Are you saying that again? I saw him die from poison in front of my eyes. We attended the funeral together and

asked, “Shall we open a grave?”

“My lord!”

“No matter how much you think about it, he’s not the kind of person who will die like that.”

“That’s true, but…

“It’s more suspicious that he died of poison.”

“My lord, since you killed Jin Geum-yong, your revenge has been fully achieved. “Why not stop at that level?”

“Stop what?”

“Something that causes friction with dragons.”

Deus looked directly into Alex’s eyes.

Alex bowed his head slightly.

“There are laws in the world. If you break it, God will punish you. “We demons also cannot be free from divine punishment.”

“Go back and become the devil?”

“That is the fate of those born as demon kings.”

“Are you going to follow the rails laid by you

and learn the tactics that a would-be demon lord should learn?”

“That’s right.”

“20 years from now we have to invade the human world and fight the hero?”

“Yes, my lord.”

“How is the outcome of that fight determined?”

“We don’t know that either. “I just want my lord to become a more powerful being and destroy humans so that the earth can be ours as a demon.”

“Do you think I’m wasting time walking around like this

?”

“I hope you have something in mind… If not, I think the probability of defeat in the war 20 years from now will only increase.”

” Alex.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“Stop giving up on me now. Either find a new demon king and put him in his place, or one of you six becomes king. Gather the demons together and vote for them, or do whatever you want.”

“That’s not possible.”

“why?”

“Because the magic spirit energy of past demon kings is contained in my lord’s body.”

“Then shall I return it?”

“Without it… my lord will become an ordinary demon.”

“I’m asking knowingly. Should I return it?” Alex looked at Deus with a stern expression.

“Master, why do you not want to become the Demon King so much?”

“It’s insignificant.”

“He is the loser of the world.”

“is it?”

“You are the most powerful being under the heavens

, and there is not a single being under the heavens that you cannot defeat. “Didn’t even Jin Geum-yong, the closest being to a god who has lived for over 666 centuries, be defeated by you?”

“But my answer is the same. “It’s insignificant.”

“My lord!”

“If you don’t plan on taking my magic spirit, why don’t you stop nagging me right now? I plan to find out until the end. “What was Daroche trying to do and who was instructing him to do it?”

Alex quietly lowered his head.

“Do as you wish.”

Thump thump thump.

The sound of a knock on the door echoed throughout Joryx Castle.

It was not an exaggerated investigation. The knocking on the door really rang throughout the castle.

“It’s a giant!”

Sticking his head out from the top of the 5-meter-high castle wall, it was a giant smiling with its vicious teeth exposed.

He was kicking down the gate. That was the identity of the pounding sound.

The gate was shaking as if it would break at any moment.

The knights in the castle rushed out and used wood to barely hold on, but it was only a matter of time before it collapsed.

Mondonu von Zoricks, the lord

of Zoryx, hurriedly gathered the warriors in the castle.

A large number of warriors left the castle to make money.

No, even if that were not the case,

there were no division-level warriors in Joryx Castle who could fight giants.

Among the warriors of Zorix Castle,

the Holyoke family rank is A-class.

Canadine van Holyoak, the owner of the Holyoke family, and his colleagues interviewed Lord Zoricks with a heavy expression.

“To be honest, it’s beyond my capabilities.”

Lord Mondonu took a deep breath at Canadin’s words.

“I guess so. “Because you are a Class A hero and the monster outside is a giant.”

Even a child knew that the G of class G was the G of giant.

“Is it impossible to join forces with other warriors

?”

In response to the lord’s question, Canadin Panhliok shook his head.

“Another hero. What about those idiots out there? Most of them are B-level or lower and are not purebloods. “They are well-spoken warriors, but they are no different from other knights.”

“Well… what on earth is Seonghwangcheong doing! It wasn’t long ago that a dragon appeared and even a giant. “If monsters like that come, don’t we have to come up with something?”

“Seonghwangcheong, don’t you always procrastinate?

When the local warrior management bureau identifies the problem and submits it as a document, the base warrior management bureau says it will understand the situation and reports it to the central office for a year. The central office says it will understand the situation and holds a meeting for a year. It concludes and returns to the base warrior management bureau for a year. ….

“It’s okay, my head just hurts.”

“Mondonho, I too am a warrior.”

“I know. “I was your colleague when I was young.”

“He was an outstanding prosecutor.”

“Excellent. “I lived comfortably behind your back.”

“Be humble, Mondogne. You are a lord now. “I will take good care of this place.”

“Sounds like a goodbye.”

“That’s right. “I’m thinking of going out and seeing it.”

“Hey Canadine!”

“Even when I was on active duty, Grade A was my limit. I don’t have that much skill now… and most of my colleagues from back then have dispersed, so now there are only two or three left by my side. “Still, he’s a warrior.”

“Just buy me some time. “Won’t you come from Hwangcheong soon?”

“I’m not sure if it will buy me time or not

. Anyway, I have to go. “Mondo New, please take good care of my daughter.”

Canadin smiled and turned around.

Mondogne stood up from his seat and walked towards him. But it stopped after just one step.

“Good luck!”

Mondonho bowed his head and Canadin raised his hand.

Warriors were now gathered in the garden of the lord’s castle.

Everyone looked nervous when the giant appeared.

When the dragon appeared not long ago,

it disappeared in an instant, so there was no time to summon the warriors.

Even now, there are people who talk about what happened back then.

But their recollections of the mysterious bellboy were soon cut short.

Canadine Pan Holyoke, the representative hero of Joryx Castle, has returned after finishing a meeting with the lord.
