Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 162

37. The Demon King returns to the human world (2)

“What situation are you talking about?”

“Do you want to ask about your romantic history?”

“Love! “I only have eyes for you, my lord.”

“You know that’s the most unpleasant thing you’ve ever said, right?”

“Zhu Guun! “How can you not know my single-mindedness?”

“So what do you think?”

“Is everything breaking?”

“It’s your fault, master.”

“Hey bastard, I woke up refreshed after a 10-year nap, and my temper starts to get angry in the morning.”

“It’s true, Yulgeum! Please tell . “I’m not saying anything white.”

“I think it would be interference in internal affairs if I get deeply involved in other people’s affairs.”

“As my lord swallowed the demon king’s whirlpool, a large hole was created in the border of the wormwood.”

“Oh my! I committed a mortal sin. “Please kill .”

“Why do you take everything so crookedly?”

“They say it’s my fault, but how can I not be crooked?”

“Well…

“It’s the Enclave that blocks the border in the first place, right? Is it my fault that the barrier mbrane broke? “It’s because you didn’t manage it properly, right?”

“It’s unfair! A huge space beca empty so suddenly that there was no ti to build the enclave’s barrier…

Deus interrupted Alex.

“let’s go.”

“Suddenly, where…

“I need to take a look at the situation with that hole.”

“Yes old! All right.”

The territory ruled by Darosh the Gluttonous Man was overgrown with swamps and tropical rainforests.

This is a long stretch of land extending north from the Devil’s Cauldron. Until recently, it was a good (?) place to live, with poisonous insects and poisonous plants living in harmony.

However, after the collapse of the Karma Vortex, a problem arose when the atmospheric flow changed and the wormwood-contaminated river that flowed around the outskirts of the territory dried up.

Hundreds of mugwort monsters crossed the border of the territory every day.

Daroche tried to stop them with his troops, but it was not enough.

They imdiately asked for help, and now they were sohow maintaining the front line thanks to the relief soldiers sent by other six dukes.

What Alex said was not an exaggeration.

Deus stood on the highest tree in the jungle and looked across the river of dried mugwort.

The two Dukes, Alex and Daroche, knelt before him.

“My lord! “I congratulate you on your great accomplishnt.”

Deus nodded at Daroche’s greeting.

“I heard that you suffered because of .”

“You don’t deserve the word ‘hardship!’ The Demon World is like a place that exists for the lord. “How can our subjects live in a comfortable place when our lord

does not hesitate to undergo penance to beco strong ?”

Darochu responded like this and bowed his head even more deeply.

“My heart is filled with joy at your loyalty.”

“It’s an honor just to be recognized.”

“It would be nice if everyone was as loyal as you. “No matter where I look, there are only people who do not believe in !”

Deus stared at the back of Alex’s head as he spoke.

Unable to bear the silence, Alex

raised his head. Our eyes t.

“You, you.”

“It’s unfair! Besides, wasn’t it my lord who abandoned the demon world in the first place?”

Daroche spoke hastily.

“Huh! Kyo Goku! What nonsense is that, my lord? My lord, you are the star and hope of the Demon World. Even if you look up to and praise soone, you must never be disrespectful. No matter how close you are personally, it would be better to keep the line.”

Deus took his word.

“We’re not that close personally.”

“My lord!”

“How could they have stuck with Jeondae and left stranded? “They’re going to drag this rotten bird and block the way… aren’t they?”

Deus trailed off.

“My lord! Misunderstanding…

“Alex!”

“yes?”

“Where is Suzaku now?”

“We don’t know either. “Because it was Mahon who ruled over Suzaku.”

“Does that an it’s still sowhere on the continent of Jose?”

“That is very likely.”

“Pack your bags.”

“yes?”

“Go back to the ground.”

“But then this place…

“It’s still worth stopping, right? I can’t kill all the mugwort monsters. The main character was only a little stronger than , but he was stronger. “If you let him guard this place, you won’t have to worry.”

“ah!”

“It goes up again. To the human world.”

“There’s no way you’re running away from ho again…

“You’re so noisy, dude.”

As soon as Deus finished speaking,

he soared into the sky.

High up in the cloudy sky, it spread its black wings wide and jumped among the mugwort monsters.

There, I simply waved my hand once.

Dark spiral width.

An area with a radius of hundreds of ters was caught up in his wind. Everything alive was crushed and scattered into powder.

The demons were shocked by his formidable inaction and were speechless.

But Deus looked towards the distant horizon with a dissatisfied expression.

Although he killed hundreds of giant monsters, he only scooped up a bucket of water from the sea.

“Hurry, butler.”

“Are you going to be a deacon again?”

“Or do you want to talk? Although words are necessary. “You can use transformation magic like that.”

“I always thought that being a deacon was my calling. Please do it.”

Deus turned his head and looked at Yulgeum. She said.

“I’m going too, right?”

“huh. “Take care of , damn woman.”

“A noisy and unlucky man.”

A small bonfire was lit on the hill overlooking Zoryx Castle.

Zeke did not enter the castle. No, I couldn’t do that.

There were too many people who knew Zeke’s face.

I also missed it.

Especially people like Lexia, whom I have never t since we broke up.

I silently stirred the boiling soup.

Katran, who had been looking for firewood, stopped for a mont at the edge of the shadow of the forest.

It was thanks to the heavy atmosphere that Zeke gave off.

Of course, what Katran thought of when she saw that was, ‘As expected, it’s cool!’

“You said Zoricks is your hotown, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Was it really a B grade? Pureblood is definitely…

“Class B. “The pureblood level was high, but the rest of the abilities could not be said to be outstanding.”

I put in so more firewood and, anwhile, removed the pot from the fire.

When the fire started up again, Zeke put so pieces of at into the fire.

“Besides, it was from a contractor family. Because I had been classified as a province for several generations, I was unable to receive proper support. “I barely graduated from elentary school, so I couldn’t even imagine going to private school after school.”

“The warrior school is free of tuition.”

“Because my parents passed away, so soone had to earn the money. “I had no choice but to quit

.”

“What did Seonghwangcheong do?”

“There was a subsidy, but it wasn’t even enough to pay for food for my three siblings.”

“That’s ridiculous!”

Katran shook her head as if she couldn’t understand.

“How can the treatnt of the warrior be like that?”

“Hollygum is a G-class family, right?”

” yes.”

“Skills are also divided depending on family.”

“A warrior’s abilities are given by God

. Just looking at Mr. Zeke, he was born into a low-level family, but he is now so strong that it is impossible to determine his level.”

“Because I t a good person. “Aren’t you a person?”

“…I’ve heard rumors about Mr. Zeke since I was young.”

” rumor?”

“He said he gained strength by making a contract with the devil. As punishnt, Signi… I’m sorry. “I guess I said sothing pointless.”

Looking at Zeke’s frozen face, Cart Run bowed his head and apologized.

Zeke started the campfire with a poker.

“ Devil••••••

“It’s probably just nonsense. Mr. Zeke was like that…

“He wasn’t just a devil. “He was the devil.”

“yes?”

“The reason I was able to increase my strength… and the fact that I acquired the power of the aura, which was said to be available only to Generation Zero, was because I was with the Demon King. He would have naturally awakened to fight against the Demon King’s powerful magic spirit. I think my

two younger brothers also awakened in the sa way. “I may not have t you in person, but you must have awakened to Generation Zero through .”

“Could it be that the rumor was true?”

“They gave money and provided with dragon-made equipnt so I could beco independent. “He also provided this armor that I am wearing now.”

‘“Him”? Mr. Zeke! “Why do you call the Demon King that?”

“Katran.”

“Mr. Zeke!”

“Don’t trust . “I am just like the world says… I am a black warrior.”

“Are you planning to betray humans?”

“If it’s betrayal, it’s already been done. I can’t deny the devil. “I hate demons, but… I can’t hate him as much as he does.”

“Why did you…. I’m so disappointed! You are a much braver warrior than any warrior I have ever seen. “Are you brainwashed by the devil?”

“That would make feel more at ease, but that’s not the case.”

“Whose side will you take in the final war

?”

“Of course he’s human.”

Katran took a short breath in response to Zeke’s answer.

“It’s the right decision.”

“I have no intention of siding with the demons. The devil is my enemy. That doesn’t change. If I have to fight him, I won’t hesitate. I will do my best to defeat him. But…

I turned the at over. A few crushed herbs were sprinkled on top of the sizzling oil.

“You can’t hate him.”

Katran looked at Zeke blankly.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Actually, I don’t know. He ca to in human form. There was no calculation whatsoever. Maybe he simply wanted to enjoy human life. The only reason they chose was because I was a severely orphaned warrior from a small family. “Because you would need the shield of a hero.”

“As you say, isn’t he just a villain?”

“But that’s not true. I spent three seasons with him. I wasn’t raised with so kind of evil plan to destroy the human world. “We did it together because it was fun, and that’s how we arrived at that day.”

“You had fun?”

” really.”

“I just don’t know.”

“how about you?”

” yes?”

“I am a black warrior. It doesn’t matter what my true feelings are. Now I am just an enemy of the Holy Emperor and a wanted criminal. And yet you are helping .”

“that!”

“I think you feel the sa way. I truly encountered not a demon lord, but a man nad ‘Deus’. And my conclusion is that I respect him. That fact did not change even after his identity was revealed.”

Katran had mixed feelings.

According to common sense, just being together like this was a cri.

I didn’t know I would be excommunicated. However, Katran could not think of Zeke as a criminal.

“He always told . Don’t like too much. I think I clearly understand what that ans now. “Don’t like too much, Katren.”

“I have no doubt that you are the greatest warrior in the world. Even now.”

“You’ll regret it.”

“Do you regret it?”

Zeke laughed as if he was troubled by that question.

And shakes your head.

“The day I was working as a hotel bell boy. He handed a gunny sack

and said, Defeat the dragon. Even if that day cos again, I will run out into the streets to fight the dragon again.”
