Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 82

19. Fighting the Walking Corpse (3)

Midnight has arrived.

Midnight was not the deepest night.

But it was definitely the time when the sun was at its furthest point.

The sun is a curse for the dead.

Then midnight will definitely be a blessing for them.

The door to the tomb opened.

A fog-like blue light spread across the floor, and the eerie sound of the wind

enveloped the entire tomb.

Zeke, who was being crushed by the undead, raised his head and looked in that direction.

A being wearing a wizard’s robe was seen floating in the air and approaching the altar.

Although he was a novice, even Zeke could feel his powerful magical power. The beautiful female wizard whose name and appearance I couldn’t remember

… that I went on an adventure with not long ago

also had powerful magical power, but it was nothing compared to the Sadimus in front of me.

Sadimus

sat on a throne made of bones.

All the undead fall down and bow to him.

—Our king. Lord of the lichs!

— I worship you! Resurrect and rule!

The man named Sadimus looked like a handsome man in his 40s.

This was what it looked like at the time of death.

He wore a uniform with wide sleeves and his hair was combed completely back.

Three bundles of white hair starting from the forehead

looked like a pattern. When he opened his mouth, blue light came

out.

“I am a great being. All humans, elves, dwarves and demons will bow to me.”

— Great King! You will rule the world!

Sadimus asked, looking down.

“Is the offering ready?”

“Yes, master. He said he could not be satisfied with being a B-class hero, so I prepared to become an A-class hero.”

“If you were a little better, you might be able to obtain the blood of a more powerful warrior.”

“I’m sorry. “It’s because we are lacking.”

Sadimus looked down at Zeke and Lexia, who were lying face down under the altar without saying a word.

“I can’t. Damned Zodiac Night. I can’t help but blame them. “The moment I release the seal of my power, the world will welcome a new king.”

Sadimus reached out to Zeke’s head.

The claw-like claws flashed blue light as if they were ready to crush the skull and steal the bone marrow at any moment.

Zeke opened his eyes and looked at him.

It was somehow unsightly to look away at the last moment.

Even though I would die here, I did not want to meet a pitiful end.

Sadimus looked into Zeke’s eyes.

Even in this situation, he was not afraid of himself at all.

“Aren’t you… scared of me?”

“yes.”

“Why… I am the king of lichs. “The living must fear me.”

Zeke laughed at his question.

It was because of Deus.

When I think of his eyes, nothing in the world is scary.

Even Lich King Sadimus was not enough to instill Zeke’s fear.

Zeke couldn’t get those thoughts out loud.

Just keep your mouth shut and smile. At that time , there was another being

who answered the Lich King’s words .

I wondered why he was here, and it felt like I was dreaming.

Deus.

It was him.

“What are you afraid of? Just by looking at him, he looks like a local bully.”

It starts with selling from the first word.

“What is this. This is a complete piece of trash. What is the source of magical power? “You damn woman.”

“Why is it my fault?”

“You said that. “I think there’s something buried nearby that would be perfect as a gift

for Zeke or the butler .”

“Arch Reach is enough. “What more do you want?”

“It should be at least as good as a dragon.”

“I will introduce the dragon there.”

“For comparison.”

“If I had to compare, this Arch Lich is stronger than an ordinary dragon.”

“It doesn’t really look like that, does it?”

“Have I been deceived?”

A man and a woman appeared from the darkness.

Deus and Yulgeum.

After leaving the demon world and defeating the hordes of demon enemies, Deus was returning to Joryx Castle when he remembered that he was empty-handed.

Since Deus had been away from home for a long time, he thought it would be a good idea to bring at least a gift, so he came here.

The undead lying at Sadimus’ feet trembled with anger.

“Master! “I will punish that barbarian with a terrible death!”

Sadimus nodded with heavy eyes.

“Kill it. “Most miserable.”

“yes!”

The undead formed a mass and rushed at Deus and Yulgeum.

Hundreds of vicious corpses rushed to surround Deus and Yulgeum.

What a trivial struggle this is.

Deus said to Yulgeum.

“Get it sorted out there.”

“no.”

“That’s the place you introduced me to.”

“Then I count it as helping you with one thing.”

“It’s shameful. “Don’t you know service? Service?”

Deus stepped forward as if he couldn’t do anything.

And he just waved his hand widely from right to left.

But that was enough. A shadow fell on the moon.

It seemed as if something dark passed by, and then the bodies of the undead exploded.

It exploded like a string of bullets, scattering bone fragments in all directions. In an instant, many of the undead were reduced to powder, and at most only about five or six remained.

Deus looked back at them and smiled.

“I made it a little weaker because I was afraid it would explode that Arch Lich, and a few pieces of trash survived as well.”

And then he opened his mouth.

“Zeke.”

“Yes, Deus.”

“I need to stop sleeping and clean up now.”

“yes!”

He answered vigorously and stood up, but he had no weapon.

As he hesitated again, a sword and shield suddenly fell in front of him.

I thought it looked familiar, but it turned out that Lexia had used it.

Deus found what the undead had captured and left in an appropriate place and threw it away.

Zeke obtained the shield and sword.

At the same time, Yulgeum’s protection filled his body.

God of all dragons.

It was Jin Geum-yong’s magic. All wounds healed at once.

Zeke roared with courage and charged at the undead.

The lich Kelstum was also there, but there was nothing to worry about as long as Deus came.

I spread my sword energy with all my might.

Meanwhile, Deus tilted his head as he watched Zeke’s swordsmanship.

“Oh, did he fight that well?”

“It looks like one layer has come off.”

“There’s nothing wrong with my eyes, right?”

“huh. After all, I like my teacher.”

When Deus made a proud expression, Yul Geum snorted.

“Why are you showing off?”

“I was the one who named you that teacher.”

“I got caught by chance.”

“They all came to see my kindness

. See you today too. By the way, when I came here, Zeke was in danger and I happened to save him, right? “Fate guides us.”

Yulgeum’s expression hardened for a moment at Deus’ false statement.

The word fate seemed to suddenly be on my mind.

“Angel’s protection and God’s trials.”

“huh?”

“no. Just suddenly…

“Are you saying that the protection of an angel and the trials of God are essential virtues for a warrior?”

“that’s right.”

“The final man is ultimately a being filled with the breath of God.”

Deus said this and looked at Zeke.

Not the last one standing. Because he was a 4th generation warrior.

Nevertheless, seeing this favoritism shows that God is quite unfair.

What’s different about getting the devil’s protection instead of the angel’s protection?

Deus passed by where Zeke and the undead were fighting and walked straight towards Arch Lich Sadimus.

“Neighborhood bully.”

“This body is Sadimus. “He is the greatest being in the human world, the fairy world, the underworld, and purgatory.”

“On what basis?”

“Not even the devil can overcome the magic flowing within my body.”

“Here comes the bastard who swears.”

“The only thing I regret is that I am tied to the ground. Otherwise, the world would have bowed before me a long time ago.”

“Can you take responsibility for that?”

“You pretend to be strong and speak harshly, but you are probably already afraid of me. I am the king of fear and

“megalomania.” Okay then, let me take a look and see what the seal is.”

Sadimus sneered.

“Which one has delusions of grandeur? me? Or you? “Are you saying that a mere human can break the angel’s barrier?”

“Shut up and wait a moment.”

Deus

went straight into the tomb.

It was only about 10 seconds later that he came back.

The moment Deus came out of the tomb again, a huge whirlpool rose up into the sky centered around the tomb.

Contrary to its enormous appearance that seemed to reel in everything around it, not a single collar was shaken.

The vortex was all a crystal of pure magical power.

I could see it, but I couldn’t touch it.

It was quietly rising,

like an illusion from another dimension .

And the source of that magical storm was the small box on Deus’ hand.

Sadimus looked at Deus with an expression of disbelief.

Then I couldn’t take my eyes off the small box in his hand.

What was in there was the heart of Arch Lich Sadimus himself.

“Give it to me!”

“How much will you give me?”

“what? “Didn’t you just promise to release my seal?”

“I don’t think they said they would release it for free. “If you don’t like it, just put it back where it was.”

“Oh no! What…what do you want?”

“It’s rare to see Richie, so should we do it this way? “The store needs a janitor.”

“Are you planning to insult my position?”

“But if you lose to me, what if you agree to my conditions?”

“Are you going to give your heart back to me now?”

“ Q Ha

“Then that’s good. “It wouldn’t be a bad idea to teach

you a big lesson about your pride .”

“Then would you like to sign here?” Deus turned his palm over and

a document came out.

“It’s a kind of slave document with a magic that can never be disobeyed.”

“If I win, what will you give me?”

“that.”

Zeke was at the end of what Deus pointed at.

“He is originally my sacrifice.”

“Not now, right? For reference, the pureblood rate

is over 10%. “You said you needed the blood of a warrior?”

Sadimus was startled and looked at Zeke again.

A two-digit number of purebloods was a number comparable to that of the last person.

The warrior who was with him also had a pure blood level of around 11%.

It is also said to be the highest figure among the previous five generations.

“I have to kill you to get his blood!”

“I wish you understood. “Then let’s get started.”

Deus opened the Lich’s heart box.

The red gem soared into the sky and disappeared into the magical storm.

The Lich’s heart, which grew into a more brilliant crystal there, was immediately sucked into Sadimus’ body.

Sadimus’ magical power began to explode.

Even Yul Geum, who was taking care of Zeke and Lexia, took his eyes off Zeke for a moment, wondering what was going on.

Of course, the reaction

was, ‘Oh my gosh, that fool is starting again.’

“Hahaha! My magic power is amplifying! Be afraid! Be terrified! A new demon king has descended on this world, so all living, breathing things should kneel before me!”

Even the undead he was commanding trembled in fear and glanced at Sadimus.

Sadimus was pleased with the creatures’ reactions and looked down at the man in front of him.

He wasn’t even moving. He must have been surprised.

Seeing himself sealed…

he must have spouted out arrogant words, guessing that he was just an insignificant part of a huge being.

And now you will regret it.

Is it because of a bit of pride that he doesn’t beg for his life?

Sadimus lightly raised his hand and crushed Deus.
