Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 139

32. Farewell to an era (2)

“Are you afraid? No, it’s insignificant. That order. Why do I have to protect it? “What on earth does that mean?”

“My lord! “You are the devil.”

“No, I’m Deus.”

I passed by Alex and took a step closer to Suzaku.

“If you don’t open it, there is only one conclusion. “I will open it with my own hands.”

Blue flames

appeared on Deus’ body again.

It wasn’t just the arms.

The flames began to spread beyond my shoulders and color my body.

The idea was to throw off the human frame.

Once out of this body, all who receive divine revelation will be able to recognize Deus.

Dragons, fairies, dwarves and angels.

Everyone, including all non-human beings, comes to know themselves.

They will realize that there is another devil in the world.

It was no longer possible to pretend to be human and wiggle around in their world.

It was the moment to declare that Demiurge 666 existed in the world.

But immediately after that, Deus stopped moving.

The Demon King’s blue flame died out on its own.

Deus turned his eyes to the distance.

The illusion of Suzaku soared into the sky. Soon it disappeared between the clouds.

“Alex!”

“Lord, Lord…

“You’re not an idiot, so you can feel it.”

“Jeon Jeon•

“The king of demons is disappearing. The Lord of Dread is turning into black smoke. Take a close look. “Remember who broke the order the most.”

“I just did what my commander told me to do.”

Alex’s trembling voice did not reach Deus’s ears.

No one could have imagined that

humans would really be able to fight against the devil .

Until the first hero appears.

The Demon King was powerful.

Although it was only a bare fist, it could handle infinite energy called Demon Spirit.

A radius of hundreds of meters was devastated in the extended solar circle.

Even a trivial magic shield could not block the force.

Whatever stood in the way was met with death, and the first demon king devastated half of the Horse continent.

The person who suddenly appeared at that time was a man who grew up in an unknown family.

Although he was only 15 years old, he grew up through fighting against numerous demons of the demon world.

He made armor and weapons from the dragon’s body and fought with his companions against more powerful enemies.

That one day.

got an oracle After receiving the angel’s protection, he awakened the power of his aura.

The aura was light.

The infinite energy of life

was the aura.

Since it is the opposite of the Demon Spiritual Energy, it is also the only ability that can compete with the Demon King who possesses the Demon Spiritual Energy.

The first hero died bravely after a fight with the Demon King.

Hollywoods.

Named Sacred Forest, it was a forest that became the roots of countless trees born in this world.

Now, 666 centuries later, people have once again witnessed a miracle in Horsetail Woods.

Humans can stand up to the devil!

Zeke’s shield blocked the Demon King’s fist.

The magic spirit shattered, scattering fragments in all directions.

Weak humans who just brush against it lose their lives in one blow.

Even in the face of that enormous energy, Zeke did not break down.

Rather, he encouraged his allies who were scared and were trying to retreat.

“Only faith, faith, faith! “The first virtue of our warriors is not to doubt the power given to us by God, and its name is courage!”

I pushed the shield away with both hands.

Rather, the demon king’s magic energy was pushed out by his aura.

Taking advantage of that small gap, Zeke rolled across the floor and struck the devil’s knee with his sword.

The Holy Cross shook heaven and earth.

The Demon King took a step back.

Blue blood flowed from his torn skin.

Zeke’s body was not unharmed.

Just from facing the devil,

my fatigue had reached its limit.

Every time my fist and shield collided, every bone in my body screamed. I couldn’t even count the number of times my small bones were broken.

Nevertheless, the reason Zeke was able to endure was thanks to the healing magic of the priests.

And there was a hidden being behind it.

Zeke had no idea what was happening behind the scenes right now.

He couldn’t imagine

who the highest-ranking priest was who was returning his body to normal .

Signi, a 10-year-old girl holding the Rodemwood Staff of Destruction, endured the pain of her blood drying out to protect her brother.

A blessing as widespread as the first was long since impossible.

All the magic was focused on Zeke.

So that he can hold on, so that he can survive.

On the other hand, the girl was shedding tears of joy. I was touched by the fact that my brother, who

specialized in odd jobs in Joricks Village,

had truly grown into a warrior fighting against the Demon King.

It wasn’t just the siblings of the Holly Beach family.

In the absolute territory created by the warrior and the saint, numerous warriors, magicians, knights, warriors, commoners, and slave soldiers prepared to counterattack.

The Demon King’s retreat meant the weakening of the Demon King’s army.

The Demon King’s army was also in a hurry to avoid the shock wave caused by the clash between the Demon King and Zig.

The first to move were the Zodiac Knights.

Defense was left entirely to Zeke.

He poured all his abilities into the attack and dug into the side of the Demon King.

A warrior who did not break down was bound to grow.

Just as Zeke awakened by the side of Deus, there were great changes in the bodies of the Zodiac Knights who fought against the Demon King.

“Zeke! “We’ll take charge of the attack, so focus on protecting yourself!”

Oridon shouted, swinging the Bastard Sword and Holy Sword Antares vigorously.

Zeke made eye contact with him and nodded.

Because there is one last man, humans can stop the devil.

Because Zeke is here now, we can withstand the Demon King’s attacks.

But that alone is not enough to win.

One genius leads humanity with his own power.

However, if no one follows him, he would be nothing more than a madman.

The Zodiac Knights and

the knights who served them fiercely attacked the Demon King and the demons around him without thinking back.

Courage spread.

From Zeke to Zodiac Knight and other heroes.

And the increased courage gave birth to countless hopes.

Even slave spearmen who did not have great abilities mistakenly thought that they were chosen warriors. He advanced courageously.

He was not afraid even when his colleagues were dying.

They sang a victory hymn as a marching song and headed towards the much more powerful demon army.

Just when the victory was handed over to the human army, the Demon King looked up at the sky and shouted.

The people covered their ears and sat down due to the loud noise that sounded like metal being broken.

At that moment, even Zeke was so overwhelmed that he couldn’t do anything.

I cowered inside my shield and hoped that this wave of fear would pass.

But it

was not the end, but the beginning.

The Demon King’s two fists spun like windmills and began to hit Zeke’s shield.

Just because it was an aura, it did not mean it was omnipotent.

Zeke barely withstood the storm of magic energy generated by his fist.

And the moment it reached that limit, the aura disappeared, as if the water in a spring had dried up.

Kuang!

The boy’s body soared into the sky.

Colleagues and warriors, no,

everyone there looked at that scene blankly.

Zeke’s body rose and fell helplessly, infinitely slowly, as if time had stopped.

It bounced on the floor a few times, rolled around like a log, and didn’t get up again.

The warrior was defeated.

At that moment, the people split in two and one person slowly walked out between them.

He was holding a large cane that seemed to be twice his height and had a face that looked like it was about to burst into tears.

The girl’s name is Signy.

I ended up smiling in tears as I stood in front of my brother’s cooling body.

“Yulgeum.”

«Ugh ” huh.

“You asked me. “What were the contents of the trust?”

“It did.”

“I am a saint. The warrior sacrifices himself for the world, and the saint sacrifices himself for the warrior. “That is the fate that has been handed down to the warrior’s family for hundreds of centuries.”

Yulgeum reached out his hand and tried to grab Signi’s arm.

The ominous premonition is always correct.

From the moment Yulgeum saw Signy, this scene had been on his mind.

But I couldn’t stop it.

Like SIGNI said, this is fate.

Signi raised the Rodemwood Staff of Destruction and sang a long song.

It was a poem praising his bravery.

It was also a love song that whispered how much we loved his bravery.

The silver light mingled with the gold, taking one person’s breath and becoming another’s

.

Zeke, who had been lying down as if dead, coughed and woke up.

Breath has returned.

But the first thing he had to see when he opened his eyes was his sister’s death.

Life still lingered next to her heart, but you never knew when it would chase after your exhaled breath and leave.

Zeke hugged Signy’s body.

“Be victorious, brother.”

There is no human being who would not cry at that small cheer.

He looked around. The rhythm was visible.

“Yulgeum! Please… please save Signy.”

“Zeke, I’m afraid I don’t have a case.”

There was no death that wasn’t sad, but Yul Geum didn’t have the courage to look Zeke in the eyes.

SIGNI hugged Zeke tightly again.

“Our fate was decided the day we were born into a family of warriors. “Brother, I’m not sad at all.”

“That’s stupid. “Can’t you see the tears

in your eyes ?”

“Please don’t look. “Even if it looks as clear as a rocky mountain.”

She laughed again.

How hard is it to force a smile?

Zeke rolled his eyes in pain.

Signi was handed over to Yulgeum.

“Until the last moment… please don’t make me suffer.”

Zeke left Yulgeum, who nodded, and went back to the battlefield.

I saw the devil.

I clenched

my fists towards that hateful being .

His body was once again engulfed in an aura.

No, a much more powerful force resided in his body.

Last one.

Zeke was completed as a hero.

Colleagues gathered around Zeke.

Even Lakhe and Skatul Sadimus.

Colleagues quietly patted Zeke on the shoulder.

I couldn’t even get the words out to cheer up.

Except

for the last person who approached Zeke and put his mouth to his ear.

“Your brother isn’t dead yet, Zeke. Fortunately, there is only one person around you who can save that child.”

Zeke looked back at Skathul in surprise. But he was already a few steps away from Zeke.

“Master Deus?”

Zeke said the name that came to his mind and took steps towards the Demon King again.

The devil is strong.

The earth boiled with the magical energy he exhaled, and the sky burned blue.

Ordinary humans had their flesh melted and their bones reduced to ashes by the Demon King’s breath.

The legions of the Demon World led by the Demon King were cruel and brutal. All they left behind wherever they passed was corpses and destruction.

But in the end, it was Zeke and the humans who survived on this earth.

It seemed like there was nothing in the world that Zeke’s shield couldn’t block.

Even in the constantly winding typhoon of Ma Young-gi, Zeke endured it as if he were in the eye of the typhoon.
