Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 195

45. Fighting with the Archangel ?

“But I’m a child. “Because we are 13 years older than each other.”

“I’m fifteen now.”

“I know. Hey, I’m pretty old now. “You’re already twenty-eight.”

Lexia sat down across from Regin.

I spread my legs and rested my chin on my knees. Because she had lived longer as a warrior than as a saint,

she was far from prim and proper.

In my heart, I wanted to hold a sword, not a cane.

I’m just holding on because I know how important this war is.

“Where is Zeke now?”

“I do not know. But I hope you will stand in my way.”

“why?”

“Because it could kill you.”

“Will I still be on your side when that time comes? “In fact, I might cast a recovery spell on Zeke.”

“That that…

“Just kidding. But that won’t happen.”

“Why?”

“Because Zeke will never betray humans.”

“You already betrayed me!”

“Probably not.”

“I know my brother better than you.”

“Probably not.”

“Miss Lexia!”

“Don’t get excited. The wound opened again. Don’t get excited until the new skin starts to sprout

. “I don’t think we’ll advance any further today, so get some rest.”

Regin looked at Lexia with a frown.

“He is a dark warrior and a traitor to humanity. Even if it’s you, Lexia…

“Do you know what kind of oracle I received?”

“I do not know.”

“An angel told me to save Zeke. “That’s why I came this far.”

Regin was quite shocked by Lexia’s words.

“That’s right…

“That can’t be possible? I don’t really know what happened that day. But… Zeke is a man willing to die for humanity. “Of all the warriors I’ve seen in my life, he was the only one who could be called a warrior.”

“Isn’t it just that you look at me favorably because I’m in love with you? “That person is a person who betrayed humanity by collaborating with demons.”

“Well, it is true that I was friendly with the Demon King, so there is no room for excuses.”

Lexia took out a dagger and cut a piece of meat next to Regin.

“But it was for you. “For you and Signy, Zeke sold his soul to the devil.”

“Just because it’s for us doesn’t mean everything is forgiven.”

“They didn’t sell everything either. “If I had to really ask, what about the rest, other than faith and will and pride as a warrior?”

“I can’t listen to you any more. “What is the point of telling me such a thing?”

“There is no such thing. Just…

Lexia twirled the meat on the dagger

and then put it down again.

“I just want to talk about him with you, sharing his memories.”

Regin clenched his fists.

“I will definitely kill you. “It is the only way for my family… and my only sister to receive forgiveness from the Holy Emperor.”

Lexia looked at Regin with a stern expression.

“Signi is the only way to be forgiven?”

Once Regin had closed his mouth,

he no longer opened it.

Even in the Demon World, where the continent of Jose covers the sky, there was night.

When the bright sunlight from afar disappeared completely, we had to rely only on the red light of the lava.

That is the night of the Demon World.

It was full of ominous darkness, but Signi didn’t hate it.

Rather, it was fun to listen to those little lights.

Where she was now was on top of the highest spire in Eidos.

This place, which is higher than the Demon King’s Hall, was originally a fortress where the soldiers protecting the Demon King stayed.

A traitorous dragon attempted to kidnap Signi.

The attempt failed, but the Demon Dukes felt a great burden of protecting her in the Demon King’s office, so they moved to a safer place.

It was a room with only one window, making it difficult for a single person to enter and exit.

The only person with Signi in the small room was Lakhe.

“It’s really a big deal.”

Signi sighed and said. Lakhe smiled.

“You talk like it’s someone else’s business.”

“is that so?”

“If it had been the way it was, you would have had to be on the battlefield too.”

“Brother Zeke too.”

“Zeke would have fought valiantly in the vanguard.”

“With demons.”

A shadow appeared on SIGNI’s face as he spoke the word demon.

“You couldn’t have developed sympathy for the demons just by spending a month and a few days together,

right? “You are human.” “Mr. Lake, are demons also life?” “Because it is alive, it is life.”

“Before I met them… all I thought was a fight between humans and demons. But I’m not sure now. “It feels like a fight between life and life, so I feel like I’ve really become corrupted.”

Lakhe was about to say something but closed his mouth.

And after a while, the story came up again.

“What about us mugwort monsters? “You’ve been fighting in Noi

Ekan for a long time.”

“I see. They too…

“We cannot deny the war between creatures. Life has always been a struggle and that fact will not change. The strong prey on the weak. The reason you can sympathize with demons is because you have become that much stronger. Anyway, I am favored by the Demon King.”

“That’s right. ah! “I am strong!”

“Yes, that’s true, but that’s…

“I am favored by the Demon King. And my brother is strong enough to rival that demon lord.”

“After absorbing Suzaku and the Blue Dragon, Zeke completely transcended humanity. “I climbed the Demon King’s Castle alone.”

“Shall we use this strong power?”

“What are you talking about?”

“I will try mediation.”

“As for mediation… between demons and humans?”

“yes.”

“Is that possible? “It’s not a grudge built up over a year or two.”

“You might be able to do it. Not me, because we are strong. “I need to find my brother.”

“Do you know where it is?”

“Please find Lakke.”

” I?”

” yes.”

“I have no idea. “Where is it?”

“If you were my sister, you could follow her by groping her. “Because you can talk to plants.”

“Okay, let’s give it a try. But don’t expect too much.”

“thank you.”

“and!”

” yes?”

“be careful. After I leave, there will be no one left by my side. “The only thing that can protect you is yourself.”

“Do not worry. “Mom is strong.”

“I heard it’s really good. “In that respect, I’m the same as your brother.”

Immediately after speaking, Lakhe disappeared.

Numerous spore seeds appeared where she was, blowing in the wind.

Signy approached the window and followed Mr. Hall. Lakhe was already on the wall.

Roots have grown. Plants seem quiet

, but they are fiercer than any other living creature.

Without attracting anyone’s attention, Lakhe began to follow Zeke’s traces faster than any other animal.

After the Flame, Fagurt was the strongest general under Ifrit.

Instead of two legs, it floated with cloud-like flames, and its heart of flame was hidden by armor made of lava stone.

Fagurt’s weapon, which could be called fire in armor, was a long spear. He swung

his 7-meter long spear like a storm

and slaughtered the human army.

But his rapid advance was ultimately blocked.

A 15-year-old boy with black eyes under his eyes due to fatigue stopped him with a sword and shield.

Behind the boy was a group of knights.

The flag of the Knights Templar is the constellation of Leo. While the brave knights were dealing with Fagurt’s army, the boy faced Fagurt head on with an indifferent expression.

“I cannot give up even a single inch of this land!”

Fagurt swung his spear and struck the boy.

But the spear could not pierce the shield.

Algieva, the Lion’s Mane Shield, slid her spear and cleared the way for her master to advance.

The Holy Sword Regulus glowed coldly.

There was a hole in Fagurt’s armor. The heart of flame cooled under the enemy’s icy gaze.

“I can’t die in vain like this!” Fagurt exploded with his last remaining strength. The body exploded, scattering awl-shaped rock fragments in all directions.

Some of them tore the warrior’s skin.

But it was a meaningless struggle. The saint’s staff shone white and returned all the small wounds to their original smooth skin.

The warrior Leo Paladin Regin looked around while holding his sword.

The red hill, as its name suggests, was emitting red light.

It was the color of lava shining through the black hardened rocks.

The human army easily became exhausted in the heat. The wizards

were focusing on blocking the heat on the floor with cold energy rather than attacking.

It consumes a lot of stamina.

But once the battle started, there was no stopping.

Human death was piled up there. The enemy was a naga with long claws.

Regin grabbed his sword and ran in that direction.

You must cut down at least one more enemy.

I had to accumulate achievements by killing powerful demons.

A feat that no one can ignore

. Only that will be the leverage that will allow him to ask for his sister’s forgiveness.

The conversation with Cadenza before this battle suddenly filled my mind.

—His Holiness the Holy Father is well aware of your wishes. Decapitate more demons. If you make a contribution that no one can ignore, no one will refuse you when you ask for it.

The path for SIGNI to be forgiven has officially opened.

I have no choice but to go.

No matter how difficult the road is.

“Take a break.”

Lexia came next to me.

Regin moved forward silently. Lexia grabbed Regin’s arm.

Although it was not a power that could stop an ordinary woman, Lexia was a saint and a warrior.

“Let go.”

“My heart is hot, my head is cold. “You learned it in class.”

Regin glared at her.

But she wasn’t the type to be scared by that.

“Do you know what the scariest thing to say in a party battle is?”

Lexia suddenly asked.

“what do you mean?”

“I won’t heal you.”

Lexia flopped down on the cold stool created by the wizard and tapped the floor next to her with her palm.

“30 minute break.”

“But there…

“I know. “There are comrades who are being pushed back by a strong enemy.”

“We’re not really colleagues.”

“Whatever you call it,

I understand your concern over seeing your allies dying, but rest now.”

Regin looked down at his hands. I was trembling slightly.

It seemed like the level of fatigue was higher than expected.

So much so that Lexia noticed.

More than half of the soldiers fighting against the Naga family have already lost their lives.

Just watching that death…

Regin looked back at Lexia.

I can see deep in her eyes. Why wouldn’t you be angry? There was no reason not to be worried.

Lexia was forced to endure it.

This huge battlefield was one huge organism.

Not every battle could be won.

There are people who do their job by dying and draining the enemy’s energy.

Lexia opened her mouth again.

“You are a warrior. He is also a hero who has established himself as the last man. “There are only a few people around here who are supporting you, but on the other hand, you

can also say that all the groups on this battlefield are working for you.”

“There is nothing to emphasize. “I already know.”

“So, rest. Your job now is to get back in shape faster.”
