Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 113

“Everyone says that? “You have talent.”

“If you don’t learn talent, you won’t be able to bloom. I don’t think my father was a real provincial. However, he may not have been able to realize his strength because our family had terrible bad luck.”

“Maybe so. The current system focuses on creating a hierarchy among heroes rather than improving their abilities

. Even he was reduced to a sidekick to protect the interests of a family that had already become vested interests.”

“Deus, you are too pessimistic.”

“That’s not something you should say under a lord who imprisons people before even building the prison walls properly.”

“Because I was wrong. As a warrior, he left the castle during such an emergency without even receiving a formal request. “It was careless.”

“So you’re going to stay locked up?” “

I think I have become a different person from the

person I was as a hotel bellboy .”

“Positions change depending on ability.”

“But people shouldn’t change.”

“why?”

“I can’t explain it very well, but… if it were different, I would either be arrogant now or I would be servile back then.”

Deus laughed.

“You speak well.”

“I guess I learned it from Deus.”

“I told you not to like it too much. “Because it will be difficult to let go later.”

“I entrusted this life to Deus.”

“do not do that. will regret.”

“So please do me a favor. I will try to persuade the lord somehow, so don’t worry. Deus’s goal is to live a moderately well-off life. “You can’t achieve that dream only by fighting the nobles.”

“It’s a dream.”

Deus looked down at Zeke for a moment.

“What is your dream?”

“The Holly Beach family is recognized as A-rank.”

“Hasn’t it already been achieved?”

“It should be achieved by my younger siblings, not me. If you think about it, Deus-sama brought me up.”

A Generation Zero mutation was taking place in Zeke’s body.

As he stayed with the Demon King, the blood inside his body began to react.

Maybe even the pureblood rate went up because of that.

In fact, he would have been a much lower level warrior.

A hero was a being born to fight the devil. So it might have been natural for Zeke, who had always been attached to the Demon King, to awaken to Generation Zero.

In order for the Holy Bitch family to become an A-rank warrior family, A-rank or higher heroes must be born over several generations.

“Becoming a family of outstanding warriors and living for humanity. “That is the dream of every warrior.”

Deus laughed.

It would be pointless to discuss the ugliness of humanity with

that stupidly naive guy .

“I’m glad you’re okay.”

” yes’?”

“Leave this matter to me.”

“Assassination is not allowed!”

“okay. “I won’t kill you.”

“Even threatening with force!”

“Don’t worry, we will handle it without difficulty.”

Before Deus got off the wall, he turned his head and looked at Zeke.

“You look better when you’re fighting giant monsters.”

“Even if I get it and explode?”

“So more.”

Zeke’s awkward smile soon disappeared beyond the wall.

Deus turned his eyes and looked at the lord’s barracks.

He walked at a slow pace.

Step by step.

The surroundings turned black to match the short strides.

Mondogni, the lord of Zoryx, looked around with a curious look.

I felt cold and looked for a blanket.

Thinking that my mistress had roughly folded the blanket while she was away, I cursed.

“What if this woman catches a cold on her precious body?”

The more I came to my senses, the more severe the chill became.

It wasn’t just that I didn’t cover myself with a blanket. It felt like I was in a box of ice.

I woke up in surprise.

The alcohol that had been messing with my mind suddenly disappeared.

The scenery unfolding before my eyes was even more impressive.

The knights who were on guard and the concubine chief were now kneeling and bowing their heads to a man.

It wasn’t just humans.

Even the shadows around him were worshiping him.

Truly the king of darkness.

Mondo New trembled as he looked at the mysterious scenery.

“Is there anyone outside?”

I screamed loudly, but there was no echo, as if I was shouting into the air.

“Did you say Mondogne von Zoricks?”

The man, Deus, opened his mouth.

A dense voice spoke deeply.

Mondonu swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.

“Who is it?”

“Will you honor me if I take away one of your eyes?”

“no. Who are you?”

“The moment you find out who I am, I have to take your life. Would that be okay?”

Mondonho bowed his head in surprise.

“I don’t want to know.”

I stole a glance at the other person’s face. I vaguely felt like I could recall that image in this memory

.

But I couldn’t remember who he was.

In fact, the more I drew, the more blurred the impression became.

In the end, his face came to the point where he looked like a gray lump, and Mondogne was once again seized with fear.

“I don’t want to talk at length with a lowly person like you. Obey. “If you do that, I won’t kill you.”

“Why me… I am a poor lord.”

“Are you saying you won’t obey?”

“That means

, “In that case, I will appoint your great-nephew Kar as the new monarch of Zoryx, not you.”

“no!”

“Obey.”

Mondogne trembled.

It was difficult to know who he was and what he wanted.

However…

I didn’t dare to protest.

My heart began to crumble from deep inside.

Must obey.

Otherwise, you will surely die. Must obey.

Once my heart broke, there was nothing difficult about it.

Mondonu approached Deus with kneeling steps.

The knight, the servant concubine, and her master all bowed to Deus in one place.

Deus smiled and left the place.

However, dawn came and even as the morning sun rose, Mondonu, the lord of Zoryx, was already bowing to Deus, who had disappeared.

The two Zodiac Knights visited the Count of Mondogne quite early.

It was to ask for Zeke to be released.

A lord was like a king in his land.

Even if the Zodiac Knight’s authority came from the Holy Emperor and even from God, he could not overturn the lord’s decision.

After requesting an audience and waiting for a while outside the barracks, Cadenza and Oridon were able to meet Lord Mondogne.

He said he was always drunk these days, and the barracks were filled with the smell of alcohol.

Fortunately, he didn’t seem to have been drinking since morning.

I greeted the Zodiac Knights with a fairly normal face.

“Welcome. “ The knights of Seonghwangcheong

.”

“Greetings to the Lord of Zoryx

.”

“I can’t believe you asked to see me at such an early hour. “I guess it’s because of his work.”

Count Mondogne leaned on the armrest of his chair and looked down at the two paladins.

Cadenza took a step forward and spoke.

“Yes it’s because of Zeke. “I heard that the lord put Zeke in prison.”

“It did. However, imprisoning and releasing permanent residents is within the power of the lord.”

“I know. That is why I would like to ask you politely.”

“Be polite. “Do you think it’s polite for two Zodiac Knights to come and talk to you in the morning with weapons strapped to their waists?”

“Don’t misunderstand. “This sword

is for protecting the lord.”

Mondogne swept his face with both hands.

“I had a terrible dream last night.”

“Nightmare… do you mean?”

“Nightmare is a good word. I think what you said will make sense, so I’ll tell you, but I’m afraid. Joryx Castle was devastated by the giants, and the King of Gelon declared that he could not help because he was dealing with the monsters rampaging throughout the country.”

“It is truly a time of chaos.”

“Chaos… Scholars

can define it in a few words and it will be over, but not me. This means that you have to lead hundreds of thousands of people and survive. Unlucky! “Why did giants invade our castle?”

The enemy wasn’t just a giant. But the most powerful was, of course, the army of giants.

Tens of thousands of giants were stationed in and near Joryx Castle.

In fact, they were just driven down the mountain by the volcano, but the northern part of the Kingdom of Gelon, where Zoryx belongs, was completely devastated by the giants.

“What should I do? “What can I do?”

Oridon approached and spoke.

“But you shouldn’t take your anger out on Zeke.”

“Getting angry? “Do you really think that?”

Cadenza said, gesturing to stop Ori Don, who was trying to speak with an angry face, with his hand.

“Is there any way that my lord would make a decision out of anger? However, Zeke is now one of the most powerful warriors in Zoryx Castle. Locking him up

would never be beneficial to Joe Rix Castle.”

“I know too! But what about authority?”

“Great Lord of Zoryx. Be cool.”

“It’s not that easy.”

“I would rather give the order to fight the giant. That would be the way to use Zeke.”

“Fight a giant?”

“He is a permanent resident, but he is also a warrior. “Battles with giants are like a job for a warrior.”

“How can he alone fight and win against tens of thousands of giants?”

“You don’t have to fight everything. “Wouldn’t one unit that came down to Jorick’s Castle be enough?”

“Huh..”

Youngju suddenly had a blank expression.

It was only a few seconds, but Cadenza and Oridon looked back.

I was wondering if something had appeared.

However, the only people in the barracks were the lord and the two Deak Knights.

“I actually thought that too. Okay then let’s do it like this. Please hunt down the giant. “I will give you a gold coin for each animal as a reward.”

“It would be a great help to Zeke if you did that.”

Cadenza felt strange.

It was a happy thing to be able to release Zeke through his own persuasion. However, it was unpleasant that the lord suddenly changed his mind.

Not only did he release Zeke and entrust him with the giant’s work, he even paid him a large sum of money.

One gold coin for one giant cannot be said to be an overkill, but it felt like a big difference from the way Lord Joryx had treated Zeke until now.

They were making such a fuss about it, saying it was my property, and then suddenly they said they would pay a fair price and hire me.

Even though the two knights got what they wanted and left the scene, they couldn’t shake off an uneasy feeling.

It was around lunchtime that day that Zeke returned to Deus’ side. Between

the two knights and Butler Scatul, who were very happy,

Deus greeted Zeke with just one word.

“Welcome. “Let’s cook.”

“It’s a big deal, Deus.”

“what?”

“Instead of releasing me, you asked me to recapture Joryx Castle.”

“With your bare mouth?”

“Not really. “He gave me a contract saying he would pay me 1 gold for each giant ear.”

“Then it’s a good thing. Earn money and work. “If you get Joryx Castle back, the lord

will not be able to care about what you do for a while.”

Deus said, clasping his hands behind his neck.

Yulgeum glanced lightly at Deus from next to him.

“I heard it’s difficult to handle things anyway.”

“What are you doing?”

“I’m talking to myself.”

“Are you lonely? “Can I introduce you to a man? There’s a guy named Alex who used to work as a butler.”

“No thanks?”
