Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 71

——–

17. Traveling to the Demon World (1)

“It’s a bit like that. “I think I’ll have to leave because of work?”

“How many days are you talking about?”

“I don’t know. Could it be a few days or a few months? “Maybe a few years.”

“All right. Please leave the store work to until you return.”

“Zeek too. Make it first-class.”

“yes.” Zeke

approached

Deus to say sothing .

Deus spoke to him.

“Zeke.”

“Yes, Deus.”

“Do you rember the promise you made to ?”

-When you beco stronger, fight with .

“yes.”

“Keep that promise.”

“…yes.”

Deus waved his hand at the two and disappeared through a gap in space.

The destination is the border of Gyeonggi. It was

my turn to return the favor I had lent

.

The woman looked out the window with bored eyes and shuffled through a mountain of docunts.

The docunt, rolled up in the form of a scroll, was wrapped in silk. As I untied the string and read the text, I could only sigh.

More than 300 dragons are missing alone.

Most of them seed to have run amok in the human world after being poisoned by a group of hardliners.

Nevertheless, the reason they were recorded as ‘missing’ is because there was soone who secretly hunted them.

“They must be warriors.”

Without weapons made from dragon flesh, a warrior can never face high-level demons.

Even if you refine your body and learn rigorous martial arts, you cannot cut the dragon’s scales with an ordinary iron sword.

The sa goes for horsepower.

Without the Dragon Heart, a magic stone that grows like crystals inside the dragon’s body, magic is just a joke at the festival.

It’s not that I don’t understand the feelings of hardliners.

Humans

have never sincerely discussed peace with the dragon race.

Just to avoid the scourge that is the dragon.

The war with the demons is difficult, so I don’t want to increase the number of enemies, so I just maintain peace with the dragons.

All they wanted from the dragon race was the by-products left behind by the main sword.

—This world is twisted.

It was Deus’ speaking habit.

It was sothing I used to say when I was moderately drunk and my true feelings ca out.

“You an you’re not just a doll, right?”

She muttered these words without realizing it and smiled.

“Thinking of a man. long ti no see.”

It was unknown whether she was talking about how many years or centuries it had been since it had been a long ti.

Jingeumyong Yulgeum, the god of dragons who lived before the Silver Age, was her na.

“It’s Jin Geum-yong.”

A red-eyed woman entered Yulgeum’s office and slightly bent her knees in greeting.

“What’s going on?”

“I’m sorry for disturbing your heart, but the person who broke into Hongokgyeong is looking for Jin Geumyong. “It seems like he is a man of courtesy, so the ruby dragons are refraining from responding.”

“Him?”

“Even ntioning its na is ominous.”

“It’s Deus!”

“What should I do? Should we do our best to chase them out of the boundaries of the temple?”

“no. I will go and see. He is… soone you cannot stop.

“The Lords of the Lord are gathering.”

“Things are getting bigger for no reason. “It’s not sothing that can be prevented without causing damage.”

“But…

“Are you worried that I might die again?”

“I’m sorry.”

“Okay. “Didn’t you co back alive like this?”

As the red-eyed woman bowed her head, Yulgeum smiled and stood up.

“I have a debt to pay, so I will go and see for myself. “Tell no one to co near where he is.”

“Yes, Jin Geum-yong.”

Deus walked through a forest made of red jewels.

The pogranate-colored leaves, which are redder than the maple leaves, make the sound of bells in the gentle breeze.

It was a scene unique to her.

It must have been the dragon god who created this place.

She is a simple woman who enjoys beautiful scenery, delicious food, and small conversations.

It’s surprising that his status is the ruler of one of the three worlds.

Knock knock –

a door appeared in front of and a knock was heard.

Deus laughed at that sight.

” female.”

Deus showed his palm in greeting and Yulgeum crossed the door and stood in front of him.

“I didn’t co here. “You can’t criticize her for being a woman without self-respect.”

“okay.”

“Would you like so tea?”

“Not here.”

“good. “Then let’s go to the nearby castle.”

Eulgeum has reopened.

What lay beyond was a human street.

The two naturally blended into the place where many people walked.

“It’s difficult to propose marriage.”

Yulgeum was the first to open his mouth while sitting on a chair on the terrace.

“Where did you learn that from?”

“It hasn’t even been a few days since we broke up, but seeing as you ca here, don’t you think you missed ?”

“Are you so sure that I won’t be able to hit you that you say that?”

“I’m embarrassed.”

“Are you free?”

” ?”

« O ” Hmm.

“If you’re free? “Would you like to ask out on a date

?”

“If a man and a woman eat alone and

go on a trip, is it a date?”

“huh. “Then what should I call you?”

“Well then, you can call it that.”

“Now you’re finally admitting your feelings. “Then

it’s the 1st from today.”

“Why is the story like that?”

“He said he was asking out on a date.”

“If a date ans eating, traveling, and slaughtering enemies.”

“Sothing in the details of the contract has changed slightly?”

Yulgeum crossed his arms and looked at Deus.

“So why did you really co?”

“To collect a debt.”

“If it’s money, I’ll pay it back slowly. “You just have to send weapons like before.”

“no. “I want to get sothing else.”

“Is that what you call a ‘date’? Slaughtering the enemies?”

“Well, it seems unlikely that they will be slaughtered

… I think I will take them with since they seem to have a lot of miscellaneous knowledge.”

“It’s literally a trip. Then I’m too embarrassed to say that…

“To the demon world.”

“Didn’t you hear clearly?”

“I will hide my identity and be stealthy.”

Yulgeum leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed.

“Did I owe that much?”

“Co on? “When I get help, I get down on my knees and pray, but now that it’s over, things start to change.”

“I don’t rember anything like that.”

“It’s a bad habit of losers. “Manipulating mories to your own advantage.”

“Are you really inviting to the Demon World?”

“It’s like an invitation, so I’m going with you.”

“Are you going to introduce to the Demon King of Sentai? “That’s totally a marriage proposal.”

“Didn’t you just say that you were hiding your identity? Who would introduce a million-year-old woman as a bride?”

“Until I’m a million years old…”

Yulgeum trailed off, pointed at his fingers, and then changed his words.

“Can I hear what you’re trying to do?”

“Alex is dead.”

“Kyo Goku? Dead? Who on earth… went on that errand? Where did you send it?

“I told you to dig up the Darochu gun. “For so reason, the other dukes seem to suspect that Alex killed Darroche.”

“So one of the other Six Dukes killed Alex?”

“For now, it seems reasonable to look at it that way… but a more fundantal

question arose.”

“which?”

“What are the Seven Dukes?”

“Are you asking about demons?”

“Living for a million years…

“If you tell one more ti about my age, I won’t answer.”

“okay.”

“Anyway, even if it’s , I don’t know that much about the demon world in such detail.”

“Then tell as much as you know.”

“The devil is asking about the seven dukes.”

“Is that strange?”

“Absolutely strange. Anyway, you are truly a special species.”

Yulgeum uncrossed her arms and raised her teacup.

“The Seven Dukes… they are seven monarchs. ruling the demon world. At the sa ti, I serve the Demon King’s family and dedicate all my loyalty.”

“Is that loyalty? “Aren’t you just raising puppets?”

“All kings are originally puppets. “I am also the ruler of all the dragons in the world, but at the sa ti , I am also a solver who handles

bad things on behalf of all the dragons .”

“Well, leaving aside the definition of what a monarch is, just looking at the thod of taking charge of candidates for the Demon King and raising only one of them to be the next Demon King, I don’t see any particular respect for the royal family.”

“Instead, if you beco the Demon King, you will have absolute power. “It’s helpless for them to act like a ss and run away from ho.”

Deus scratched the back of his head nervously. “Anyway

, the seven dukes actually ruled the demon world

for 666 centuries .”

“That’s right. Real power belongs to the nobles and nominal power belongs to the devil. However, only those who carry on the na of Demiu Regos can handle the Demon King’s weapon. For that one reason alone, the Seven Dukes of the Demon World have no choice but to serve the Demon King as their master.”

The Demon King’s armor is a powerful armor that is like the symbol of the Demon King.

The demon king wearing armor had power approaching the entire demon world.

Eulgeum opened his mouth again.

“So what do you want to know? As the na suggests, the Seven Dukes are the representatives of the Demon World clans.”

“No matter how much I think about it, I don’t really know what a demon lord is. “What authority does a king who dies once every 100 years have?”

“You have to speak clearly. In the human world, it’s barely prevented once every 100 years, right? “War breaks out because the devil’s side is greedy for the human world.”

Deus was silent for a while and then asked Yulgeum.

“Then are we going together?”

“okay. “But what

are you trying to do in the demon world?”

“I have soone to look for.”

“who?”

“Daroche and Alex. “I’ll bet you a thousand gold pieces that they’re not dead.”

“Do you have any basis for it?”

“Not yet. But if they were to die this easily, they wouldn’t have survived for 666 centuries.”

“That’s great logic.”

“Don’t laugh at . “There wasn’t so great fight, nor was we caught up in a conspiracy that would shake the world.”

“It seems like a pretty big incident with the dragons going berserk

.”

“It would make sense if he died after being beaten to death by while plotting sothing as the mastermind, but right now, he didn’t just die while investigating what was going on.”

“That’s what I heard.”

“There is sothing. clearly. “I’m trying to dig into that.”

“Anyway, if you think about it, it’s not a story that has anything to do with our dragons. Okay, I’ll hang out with you for a while.”

Yulgeum and Deus.

Once again, the two losers of the world co together.

The Demon World, commonly known as the Demon World, was a huge space beneath the continent of Jose.

However, it was not physically located underground. Rather, it was closer to the continent of Jose floating in the air.

Of course, in reality, digging into the ground on the Jose Continent and reaching the Demon World was close to impossible, but theoretically it was possible.

If the realm of dragons was a completely different dinsion, the Demon World was closer to the lower of the two disk-shaped continents.

The Demon World has always been consud by food (M).

Because of the shadow created by the continent of Jose, no light could be seen.

Outside the boundary of the ceremony was land contaminated with ‘mugwort’.

It is unclear what it is, but life could not survive in a place covered with mugwort. Even if it is a being from the demon world.

The place Deus and Yulgeum were currently heading to was near the outer border of the Demon World.

“What do you an here?”

“Forbidden territory (禁域)

“Forbidden territory of demons? “Is it okay for to go to a place like that?”

“are you okay. “Because you are now a demon.”

Not long ago, Yulgeum had turned into a perfect human being.

In the sa way, I am now imitating the demon race.

“Yes, but. “But why am I a demon dragon?”

“A dragon or a demon dragon.”

“It’s completely different? We dragons maintain order and balance in this world…

Before the explanation could be continued, Deus walked several steps ahead.

“Listen to what others say!”
