Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 66

———

16. The hero grows up ⑴

Deus flew to the top of the mountain in one step.

The rugged mountain slopes of Agaiatta did not lose their character until they reached the peak.

But to Deus, the roughness of the terrain ant nothing.

The summit was flat, as if it had been cut by sothing. I didn’t even know if

it had really been cut off with magical powers

.

This is what the dragons did. It would be like cutting down a mountain in an instant.

There was a throne on the flat mountaintop.

The chair made of gold was full of jewels. The decoration was so extravagant that I wondered if it had any aning.

A moon tree was planted right next to where the throne was placed.

Deus looked down at the shadow of the laurel tree.

A girl was lying down with blood pouring from her mouth. The energy of life

had long since faded away.

And Yulgeum is shedding tears while holding the golden-haired girl tightly.

“Is he dead?”

“huh.”

“April?”

“that’s right.”

“It’s over.”

“The end… That’s right. it’s over.”

“Don’t cry damn girl.”

“You’re not crying.”

“Then are you sweating with your eyes?”

Deus squatted down next to Yulgeum

.

“I killed so and locked up so.”

“thank you.”

“Not with bare mouth.”

” know.”

Even while speaking, Yulgeum did not stop crying.

“What conclusion did you want?”

“What conclusion?”

“Everyone lived happily ever after. Didn’t you just leave it there hoping that would happen? “Until the boil festers to this point.”

“is it?”

“or not? The guy who said he was a sept said that. It is said that Jingeumyong turns a blind eye to the death of dragons because humans need dragon-made weapons. That makes sense. I’m sure I told you about the body of a dead dragon, right? But nothing ca back. “Under the pretext of a non-aggression pact.”

“It’s not an excuse, it’s a matter of principle.”

“is it?”

“You can call indecisive. “The position of Jin Geum-yong

is not sothing soone who is swayed by the world’s negative opinions can handle.”

“Are you saying you are in a position to protect the order of the world?”

“Isn’t it grandiose?”

“To the subject who is crying.”

“That’s right.”

Yulgeum wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

Looking at that, Deus rembered what Sept had said.

If… if

Yulgeum was Jang himself, who bought the poison from the demon world, he would have used a gold dragon nad April as his errand boy

.

Then, the reason why that child is dead now…

It was such an annoying assumption that Deus stopped thinking there.

Preconceptions lead to misjudgnts.

The dragons’ work may be over, but the work of the Demon World is not yet.

“let’s go.”

Yulgeum nodded and answered. Afrill’s body was turned into light and his soul was taken away.

Deus, who was watching her funeral for a mont, caught the eye of a golden throne

.

“Are you going to throw this away?”

“huh? Well…

“If I don’t need it, I have it.”

“Do what?”

“Use it as a nap chair.”

“Isn’t that a bit excessive?”

“Don’t you think you’ll have nice dreams if you sleep here?”

“follow your heart.”

Deus glanced back.

The laurel tree, which represents the emperor’s coffin, swayed like a vain dream.

Zeke and his new butler, Scatul, greeted the two people who ca down from the top of the mountain.

“What… is that?”

Originally, Zeke had a lot of questions he wanted to ask while looking at Deus.

Did you win and how did things work out and work out?

But when Zeke looked at the chair Deus had put down, he forgot all the questions he had.

Gold sparkles and jewels dangle. It was an enormous chair that was dazzling just to look at.

” chair.”

“That’s right, chair.”

Deus sumd it up in one word and then looked at Skatul.

“What do you want to say?”

“Thank you for your hard work, master.”

“and?”

“The Copper Dragon’s body was well organized. “It’s a considerable amount of the dragon’s heart, skin, and shell.”

“Good, better than my predecessor.”

Deus glanced at Alex and imdiately spoke to Skathul.

“Then shall we go to the fairies and finish things off?”

“I understand, master.”

Deus asked while looking at Yulgeum.

“You won’t feel bad if I have that, right?”

“They say the dead don’t speak.”

“Then you have permission.”

“But can’t you just give the Dragon Heart?”

Skatul said.

“Dragon Heart is a material that can be used to create great weapons that increase a wizard’s magical power. I think it would be a good idea to give it to the wizard Yulgeum,

Deus sighed briefly.

Perhaps Yulgeum is thinking of reincarnating his dead compatriots with the Dragon Heart.

Deus couldn’t understand why the people who had started the rebellion were taking such good care of him just because he was pretty.

The group headed straight to El Pilum.

The fairy warriors paid tribute to the hero Zeke, who solved the dragon’s problem in just one day.

Poets wrote songs and painters painted Zeke’s face in portraits. After giving

the group a lavish reception, Imam Ropsha

once again confird the promise he had made before.

After completing their itinerary there, the party returned to Zoryx Castle, loading the Copper Dragon’s body into three carriages.

It was well after 9 a.m. when Deus opened his eyes in bed.

In the past, Alex would have bothered to wake her up, but the new butler did not act as a nanny.

Since I was wearing a human body, it was better for to sleep

.

But oversleeping was unusual.

Anyway, it looks like he was quite tired from fighting the dragons.

“Now that I think about it, what it ans to be an alternative hero…

I thought about my own abilities as a demon lord.

Even if you fight a thousand dragons, all you need to organize them is ti.

I fought Jin Geum-yong once, but I didn’t really feel like I was being pushed back. I’m not sure if she gave it her all.

The dragon itself was a scourge on the world.

Things are a bit better now thanks to the peace treaty, but before, castles that fell due to the wild dragons that appeared from ti to ti were so common that they couldn’t even be used as material for novels.

Hunting that dragon was the asure that distinguished a first-class warrior.

“One dragon is a group of warriors. I think about 1,000 dragons will be resolved after breakfast and before lunch. But why do I lose when I fight a hero?”

It wasn’t like humans were training 100,000 warriors.

It is the Last Hero and his companions who fight against the Demon King.

It was a party of about 5 to 10 people at most.

The remaining warriors fight the devil’s army together with the human army.

It was a strange fight to lose.

Does this an that the power of the last man standing will overwhelm the Demon King?

Deus thought of Zeke.

The blood ratio alone seed to be quite excellent.

What if you and Zeke fight?

Even if a few talented people similar to a Yulgeum-level wizard who transford into a human were added…

I was confident that I could grind it to a fine finish within 10 seconds.

Knock _

“Who is it?”

“I am a butler.”

“co in.”

Scatul smiles and bends slightly.

“good morning. “It looks like you were tired.”

“is it.”

“Because the human body is not very efficient. “A bear or a tiger would be better.”

“What about fairies?”

“It’s not much different from humans. Even dwarfs.”

“Well, that’s enough. “I have no intention of living as a bear.”

Skatul poured cold water, placed it on a tray, and served it to Deus.

“Are you saying you want to live as a human?”

Skatul sohow

knew Deus’ true identity.

“Aren’t humans still better than bears?”

“Since you ask that, I have no choice but to answer yes.”

“So you did everything I asked you to do?”

“yes. I sent the dragon scales I had and so of the newly acquired copper dragon skin and bone skin to the charcoal hunters of the South Root Clan. “It will be enough to match Zeke’s armor top and bottom.”

“Did you specify the color well? “If everything is blue but

the armor is brown, it’s ugly.”

“Don’t worry. “I sent it in a specified color so that blue and black would harmonize.”

“Let’s watch the butler’s sense.”

“I won’t disappoint.”

“Ho… So now all that’s left is the helt?”

“There are enough ingredients, but why did you omit them from this order?”

“It’s no fun if it’s already over.”

“…That’s a really great answer.”

“My answer is always right.”

After quenching his thirst with cold water brought by his butler,

Deus headed toward the corridor leading from the main house to the store.

The store was still full of custors. The weapons that Yulgeum had ordered a long ti ago arrived one after another, and there was enough stock.

Moreover, since it is now possible to directly contact short charcoal workers, it was not difficult to continuously obtain weapons.

“Zeke is visiting parents today?”

“yes.”

“Did you dress well?”

“yes. “But yesterday, before I opened the stall,

I went downtown for a mont and got so clothes tailored.”

“good job. “That guy is still not good at spending a single silver coin on himself.”

Deus said this to himself and asked Skatul again.

“How about swordsmanship? “Are you improving well?”

“The foundation is stronger than you think. “It seems like he learned well from his parents.”

“Now that I think about it, doesn’t a hero marry a saint? So does that an Zeke’s mother was also a warrior?”

“I didn’t hear that either.

“I’ll ask you later.”

“However, it is known that most low-ranking warriors cannot marry saints.”

“Then it’s not pure.”

“The distinction between pure and half is really just the difference between whether or not one inherited the family na. “In the first place, what is the aning of blood ties with ancestors separated by more than 66,000 years in the 666th century?”

“That’s right. It wasn’t like she was born through budding. “The first hero probably ended up marrying a woman who wasn’t a hero

.”

“Yes. “Because there was only one hero back then.”

“Still, sothing is strange. Why are there so many castles called Holly or sothing like that now? The first warrior’s last na was obviously…

“Hollywoods.”

“right?”

“The castle appears to have been divided after the first 100 years. “We had no idea that the devil would attack again, but 100 years later, he suddenly gathered all the children who had at least a little bit of the blood of the warriors and divided the castle.”

“Is this a final sale?”

“It’s okay. In the following century, the number of Holly surnas increased considerably, and when the number of successors to the Holly family exceeded 1,000, the Seonghwangcheong began to organize them. Even now, about a thousand clans are being managed.”

“So, what level is Zeke’s level now?”

“Zeek is only 14 years old now. Your abilities will begin to bloom only when you are 20 years old or around 18 years old at the earliest. “The level right now is sowhere between A and B.”

“But isn’t it still a lot?”

“yes. If it blooms… its potential is high, so if it gains enlightennt with the sword, it will be able to jump to D-class at once.”

“Isn’t it an interesting story? “A D-rank hero is born from a 10,000-year-old provincial family.”

“Thanks to you, master. “It’s a world where you can’t rise through talent alone.”

“Now that I think about it, does the fact that Zeke is like this an that his two younger brothers are also quite talented?”

“That cannot be said in the world of heroes.”

“That world is such a ss.”

“yes.”

Deus looked around the store half-heartedly and then went out into the yard.

The rocking chair that was there before was removed and a chair decorated with jewels was placed in its place.

I sat down there and put my legs up on the table.

It didn’t feel too bad to feel the gently blowing wind.

“Then look after your work.”

“Yes, master.”

After chasing Skatul away, Deus

looked up at the sky.

“It’s Class D…

Will it beco a little stronger after covering its entire body with dragon armor?

Raising Zeke was purely for fun. At first, my goal was roughly level B, but as I continued to do it, I wanted to go all the way to the end.

It’s a bit of a dangerous prank.

But isn’t it just nature to not be able to stop?
