Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 76

18. Struggle (2)

“Dear customers! We are a band of magicians doing a small charity project here in the plains. We are collecting money from people like you who can afford it and giving it to our poor brothers. It is said that heaven opens its doors to those who have accumulated more good karma, so don’t gossip and open your wallet. “Otherwise, I’ll open the barrel.”

The passengers in the carriage

trembled at his threats and did not know what to do.

A wealthy-looking gentleman took his wallet out of his pocket and threw it on the floor.

“It’s all I have right now. It’s a wallet with five gold coins in it. I will give you this, so please save me.”

A magic bandit ran up to me and picked up my wallet. There were five gold coins and a few more silver and copper coins.

5 gold was quite a lot of money. The leader of the magic bandit smiled brightly and said.

“The first guest with courage should be sent to heaven. “Then, take off everything except your underwear.”

“What is that…

“Should I take it off, leaving only the neck?” The gentleman hesitated with a frown on his face, then began to undo his belt.

At that time, a man came out from among the guests and placed his hand on the gentleman’s shoulder.

“It’s done. “You can stop.” He seemed to be around 20 years old.

He was wearing a plain shirt and pants. He wasn’t even carrying a weapon.

Nevertheless, he calmly walked into the middle of the horde of magic bandits.

“Just leave now. “ Then

I will spare that dog’s life.”

The leader of the magic bandits burst out laughing as he looked at him.

“What is this again? Customer, do you want to die?”

“Don’t play with words. When all evil is rampant in the world, there will be no knight who forgives it. Atomak, the knight of Verde, will punish you.”

“Are you a driver? But do you mind if I don’t have a horse, a spear, or a servant?”

The group of magic bandits still laughed at him.

Knight Atomak glared at the magic enemies with calm eyes.

“One second per person would be enough. “Now is your last chance to escape.

”

“Customer, stop talking nonsense and give me the money. “If you tell me to leave with only your pants on, I’ll give you my life.”

The atomak moved.

There were weapons. A pair of daggers hidden inside both sleeves.

It may have been used to serve as a self-defense device and to cut and eat fruit, but it was a world of difference whether it was there or not.

Atomak took a brilliant step and dug in between the magic enemies and unleashed a sharp sword strike.

It spun as if dancing and soared into the sky,

scattering sword light in all directions.

Atomak shouted as he got down to the ground again and crossed his daggers.

“Evil will surely be destroyed! “My name is Atomak Pan Holly Apple, a top graduate from the First College of Atomak Warriors!”

The passengers were surprised and responded positively to his shout.

“Holy apple!”

“You are a hero! “I thought your swordsmanship was extraordinary.”

“We lived!”

“I heard you graduated from college at the top of your class. “He must be a very talented person.”

Atomak smiled at the passengers and turned around.

One, two, and three magic enemies lying on the floor?

Why are there only three? The moment I thought , “I was aiming for the lives of 10 people,”

a star flashed before my eyes.

The magic bandit leader’s fist hit the back of Atomak’s nose.

Atomak’s body swayed.

When I touched my nose, I found it was covered in nosebleeds.

“Is this paired son

killed three brothers? You can’t just let it go. Hanson! “Cut off those three little fingers.”

“Brother, what are you saying about Holly?”

“Does the hero feed you? “Am I going to feed you?”

“It’s my brother.”

The man named Hanson was short, less than 170 cm tall. His skinny body was hunched over, making him look even smaller.

He approached Atomak, waving the dagger in his hand.

“I’m sorry, brother. I’m a devout believer, so I usually

don’t mess with warriors and priests… but my eldest brother got so angry that I couldn’t help it. “I’m going to hit you hard in the evening, so just hit me with that and show me three fingers.”

Knight Atomak raised his sword forward.

“Do you know who I am? College of Heroes…

“I knew the strap of that bag was long… but not all warriors are good at fighting. Aren’t they all equipped? “If you don’t believe me, why don’t you join me?”

The magician Hanson twirled his sword

. It was an ordinary dagger, but it swam between my palm and fingers as if it were alive.

Atomak shouted and swung his dagger.

It wasn’t that I didn’t have any skills.

The problem was the difference in experience. The overly upright swordsmanship was clearly readable.

Additionally, the weapon was too short. Since it was a dagger that was less than a span, there was no strength in the sword.

If there had been a wizard’s auxiliary magic or at least an ordinary iron sword, it

would have been worth it…

Moreover, a swarm of magic enemies like Hanson knew nothing of embarrassment.

Since the first move was to sprinkle red pepper powder that was stored in his sleeve, it was natural that Atomak, who had only been exposed to formal swordsmanship in college, was embarrassed.

“You cowards!”

Atomak rubbed his eyes with his hand.

But what good will come from rubbing your eyes covered in red pepper powder with your hands?

He struggled and fell to the floor due to Hanson’s kick.

The magic bandits laughed at the warrior.

The passengers in the carriage who were watching this one time let out a sigh of disappointment.

“Damn, I was expecting a little… but it looks like it’s C-level or subcontracted.”

“God, why did you send someone like that as the warrior’s descendant!”

“You only made the magic bandits angry for no reason!”

Several men and women hurriedly took out their wallets and took off their outer clothes.

In the meantime, some strong men from the group of magic bandits came out and tied up Atomak’s limbs. Hanson, the swordsman

, held the dagger

to Atomak’s finger .

“Okay then, let’s cut one.”

It was the exact moment when Yulgeum spoke softly to Deus.

“Are you just going to leave it alone? “I don’t want to see things like that.”

“Who else is this damn woman going to exploit? “How much will you give me?”

“I’ll shoot dinner. “It’s a bit too much for a dragon god to step forward.”

“What good is it for the devil to come forward? Anyway, it’s not bad for the price of one dinner. I’m going to eat something expensive. “Be prepared.”

“okay.”

Deus shouted as he left the crowd of carriage guests.

“Hey, you rotten bastards, just block the road and get out. “For 50 gold coins per person, I will let you live.”

The magic bandit leader turned his eyes to Deus.

“What is this again? “What university did you go to?”

“You feed the dog.”

“Hey, look at this damn bastard.

What a talkative bastard…

The leader of the magic bandits spat harsh words at Deus with a bewildered look on his face.

But that was all. The beginning was grand, but the end was weak.

Even on a street in the middle of the day, your body can become paralyzed with fear.

If there is someone who is not scared when they see a person folding and turning into a shovelful of meat, they are no longer human.

“There was already not enough food for the guard dogs, but it was good. Would you like a gold coin

? “Do you want to feed the dog?”

In response to Deus’ calm question, the magic bandits let out a scream that sounded like a scream and drew their weapons.

It’s not out of revenge for the dead boss.

It was because he felt his life was in danger. The enemies raised their weapons at the same time.

This guy is not normal.

He was completely different from the rookie who boasted about having graduated from the College of Heroes.

“Now who is the next dog food candidate?”

Dozens of swords

attacked Deus.

Deus dodged each one with light steps and recited words like a spell with his mouth.

“Guess which one we will crush, ding dong deang.”

The hand stopped and the magic in front of it became contemplative.

Crack.

The bones were crushed and the human was reduced to a lump of red meat.

Some of the magic bandits who saw the scene started screaming and running away.

But even that was impossible.

A thorny vine sprouting from the ground snatched their feet.

With their feet tied, they shouted strangely and cut at the vines with their knives, but it was their own ankles that were cut off.

“I think I said it before. The price of life is one gold coin per person. “Any pup that runs away wins dog food.”

Deus let out a roar and swept away the hordes of demonic bandits.

Although they only had to deal with about 50 magical enemies, they couldn’t even run away.

They lost their lives one by one. Those who remained began to crawl on the floor and beg for their lives.

“Oh, you guys really don’t understand. 1 gold per guy. “Don’t you have any money?”

Hanson, the knife holder, rolled over and fell down.

“there is! “I’ll give it to you here, so please stop.”

The total money he gave was 22 gold coins.

Deus looked around. All who survived were thirty-one. “9 are not enough?”

“Well… just wait a moment.” Hanson approached the horse the leader was riding and searched its pockets. When he found a bag containing 12 gold coins, he was brightly colored.

“Here it is! “I have 12 coins.”

“Then put it down here.”

“There are three more…

“I’ll give you back the three dog food over there.”

“no!”

“Then just get out of there. “I left four horses behind.”

Hanson did as Deus said, left his horse behind, led the gang, and disappeared over the horizon.

Deus took the gold coins and mounted his horse.

I didn’t want to get involved in any more troublesome matters, so I left the travel carriage behind and rode with Yul Geum to the next city.

“Oh.”

“why’?”

While eating dinner in the next city, Deus clapped his hands.

“Dog food.”

“Are you going to talk dirty while eating?”

When Yulgeum got angry, Deus shook his head.

“I really needed it. “I have a dog named Cerberus, and he eats so much that I have a bent back trying to pay for his food.”

“If you look at his personality, Zeke is quite favored.”

“The premise that I have a bad personality is wrong.”

“You treat living people like dog food,

right?”

“Then you want us to take care of the human rights of the demonic bastards? It’s the same as beating it to death, stabbing it, or crushing it to death. “Is it good character if I politely stab you to death and even salt the body and bury it?”

“If you ask me that again, I have nothing to say.”

“Because we are bound by such preconceptions, we are at a loss because we cannot deal with the emergence of hard-liners.”

“What are you going to do then?”

“All demons are hardliners?”

“On the other hand, what if the moderates emerge?”

“A crazy person is coming out who wants to live in peace with humans?”

« O ” Hmm.

“I have to lose. “If you lock them up and beat them up, most of them will change their minds.”

“What if it still doesn’t change?”

“If you get hit, you’ll die. “That’s none of my business.”

“You really live a simple life. So, you probably think this world is crooked.”

“Do you think this world is strange?”

“I don’t know. “You never told me

what was strange .”

“Why are demons always defeated by humans?”

“You mean that’s strange?”

“yes.”

“The answer is obvious. Because demons are weaker. “You don’t want to admit it, do you?”

Yulgeum laughed.

“The world was twisted as if something was happening. Is that what you were saying?”

“You idiot, think about it.” “Who is calling who is stupid?”

“It’s the 666th century. Even if I only lose two or three times, I will find another way. We lost 665 wars with the same pattern. In the beginning, they attacked with enormous military power and devastated two or three countries, and at the last moment, the warriors awakened and successfully counterattacked. “The Demon King dies and his army is completely defeated and flees to the Demon World.”

Deus snorted.

“Even a monkey will give up if the same failure is repeated three or four times. But let’s do it again after doing it 665 times? “Because you think you can win this time? On what basis?”
