Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 197

45. Fighting with the Archangel (3)

Regin blinked at her words.

“She’s living there as she pleases. Rather, go alone? Okay, you’re fired. “Just beg and join another party.”

“Do you think you have nowhere to go?”

“It’s fortunate that there is someone who accepts a personality breakdown like yours. Otherwise, you will get hit by a monster somewhere in the demon world.”

Keseth bit his lip. I turned and walked towards where the military was stationed.

Helgesop and Mbetat looked at Regin with frowns.

“If you don’t want to follow my orders, get out of here.”

Helgesop sighed and turned around. Mbetat got angry at Regin.

“Most heroes are arrogant, but not as arrogant as you!”

“Arrogance?”

“What do you think of your colleagues?”

“Hyenas who want to steal the credit from me.”

Mbetat shook his head and ran after Helgesop.

After everyone left, Lexia spoke for the first time.

“Why did you send everyone after them?”

“I didn’t kick them out. “They left.”

“Regin! Go ahead and apologize to them. If you really want to go to the Demon King’s Castle, you need at least one more companion.”

The fairy

Skatul, who was standing with her back against a rock, stopped Lexia.

“There is no need for that.”

Lexia remembered Scatul. A fairy who was Deus’ butler and Zeke’s swordsmanship teacher a long time ago.

But I didn’t know his true identity.

“If you’re trying to egg him on, stop.”

“Why did they go back angry?”

“Regin instigated it…

“Isn’t it because he is a saint with a good personality that we stayed together until now? Leo Paladin

is clearly their commander. Although they are called colleagues, they are not gathered together out of common interest; in fact, they are in an employment relationship with Seonghwangcheong.”

“But as long as we fight together, we are colleagues.”

“And now that you refuse to do that, you are no longer a colleague.”

Regin opened his mouth in response to Skathul’s words.

“There is no need to worry about those who ran away. I just ran away when I heard that I was going to the Demon King’s Castle. “I didn’t want to lose face, so I risked my attitude and got angry.”

Regin said, tightly gripping the hilt of the sword at his waist.

“Colleagues who are just numbers only hold me back. “Lexia, if you don’t want to get involved in a dangerous battle, go back.”

Lexia looked back and forth between Regin and Skarthul.

Only three.

The goal is the Demon Castle, the capital of the Demon World.

It seemed crazy, but…

“Let’s go.”

Regin walked briskly, picturing Signi beyond him.

Lexia sighed and followed after him.

Two full days have passed since Yulgeum went missing.

“But really, where did this woman go?”

It was on a certain coast that Deus grumbled.

I didn’t know the name or origin of this sea.

All I could do was watch as the waves crashed under my feet, breaking into white foam and running away.

There, Deus

was sitting side by side with Zeke, fishing.

When I saw Zeke, who is good at everything, make a fishing rod and catch a big fish, I decided to do Deus too.

But after that, no fish were caught on Deus’ fishing rod.

I was taking out my frustration on Yulgeum.

“For me to say I’m worried… he’s too great of a person.”

Zeke shrugged and said this. If she were an ordinary woman, she would have worried about everything from kidnapping to accidents, but her opponent

was Jin Geum-yong.

Even a single dragon was powerful enough to destroy a castle, so how awesome would it be for a being to become the god of over 100,000 dragons?

Moreover, in the past, he was also an archangel named Metatron.

The probability of her having an accident, even if only by chance, was roughly on the same level as the scenario of the extinction of humanity.

“So it’s even weirder. “It seems like something happened when you suddenly disappeared.”

“They say women have secrets

.”

“female? “Is she a girl?”

“Deus-sama, you always call me a woman.”

“That’s because she looks like a woman.”

“Then it’s a woman.”

“There are men who look like women.”

“Oh, it is said that there are often people in the palace who have concubines.”

“Wow, that’s it.”

At that time, Zeke’s fishing rod faltered.

“Hey, should we switch places and just catch you all the time?”

“The skills are different.”

Zeke pulled the fishing rod. I straightened the fishing rod, which was very bent, and stepped back.

The line was over 50 meters long, so it took a while for the fish to appear.

But I had to think more about whether it was appropriate to call it a fish.

It was 5 meters long and had sharp teeth reminiscent of a crocodile.

As soon as it got on the ground, it started struggling and bit the palm tree standing on the shore.

The trunk, which was beautiful by adult standards, was torn away and the tree fell over.

“It’s so fucking disgusting.”

Deus hit the fish’s head with his fist.

In an instant, my bones were broken and I became limp.

“The fish on the Jose continent are really cute.”

Zeke pulled the needle out of the fish’s mouth. They dragged it to the beach and started peeling off its flesh.

This is the 4th animal so far, and the previous 3

started to decompose immediately after death and gave off a terrible smell.

The smell was so strong that it broke even the will to taste it.

This time, I had expectations because it was a different species.

Deus, who was staring at this, opened his mouth again.

“Think about it really seriously.” “What?”

“Creating a territory here.”

“You mean to bring the residents of Neuekan?”

” uh.”

“I do not know. “I’m not sure what people will think.”

“Don’t you think it’ll be okay? Jose: Don’t squabble in that small place on the continent.”

“What are you going to do, Deus? Are you going to move Hille here?”

“I don’t know either. “The seven peacocks are strangely stubborn.”

“We’re just dreaming.”

“That’s right.”

“If humans and demons fight, I will be on the humans’ side. Even if it is Deus-sama, he will point his sword at you.”

“I know, man.”

“So please don’t start a war or anything like that.”

“You’ve grown a lot. “You said those things to me.”

“It was a lot bigger. “I also have two shinigami beasts.”

“Are you a threat now?”

“I will do whatever it takes to threaten you. If only war could be avoided. If demons don’t invade the human world in the first place, there won’t be a war, right?”

“Not again? “Maybe the humans

will invade the demon world later.”

“Oh, there’s no reason for that. “Humans are doing well in the human world, so who would bother troubling the demon world for no reason?”

“There’s Ascaron or something.”

“Mr. Cadenza? He may just be vaguely thinking about it and not actually doing it. They seem to vaguely think that two powerful warriors can overwhelm the demon world, but… it’s not that simple. “The angels might support the offensive war in the first place.”

“Well, without the angel’s protection, it would be impossible to fight me with only the strength of a hero.”

“That’s right.”

“So is that worth eating?”

“Yes, first of all, the flesh smells fresh.”

Zeke sliced the side meat of the fish thinly and put it in his mouth.

“Are you okay?”

“I was hungry, but I’m glad. But where did the butler go again? “I heard this guy disappears somewhere sometimes.”

“Zouguuun!”

I immediately heard Alex’s voice.

“Come this way!”

“What?”

“I don’t know what it is either.”

“What are you saying, you crazy guy?”

However, immediately after swearing, Deus frowned.

Alex’s right arm was not visible.

“Did you eat your arm?”

“Is that possible?”

“But why isn’t it there?”

“It was cut.”

“You just have to play it.”

“That seems like it might take some time. Because something strange happened to me. So

, aren’t you asking me to come and see it?”

Deus and Zeke followed Alex toward the jungle.

The dense forest was a mess with burn wounds everywhere.

“What on earth is this?”

Deus kicked a pitch-black tree stump.

“I think I was struck by lightning?”

“Lightning?”

Deus looked around again.

It was not something that could be summed up in one word: lightning.

This is lightning that devastates a radius of hundreds of meters.

“Lightning… there was one guy who was good at using this kind of thing.”

“You mean Nezar?”

“uh. “You sure he didn’t crawl down here?”

“Probably not. “I guess I’m living in a village of short charcoal workers now.”

“Take care of yourself. “Because he’s a dangerous guy.”

“Still, I thought I’d tell you when I see you, but can’t you just take me back? “It’s a burden to have him around

… so he’s becoming less and less listenable.”

“There’s no way I won’t listen. “You sure you didn’t give that bastard back the Almighty Bracelet?”

“Hey!”

“I’m sorry. “They made it on their own while I was away.”

Deus frowned, then straightened his expression.

“Oh, but there’s nothing to worry about. “If you were me now, you would be several times stronger than that guy.”

“But we already fought. “Even though I only got the

main job.”

“You stepped on it, right?”

“To say I stepped on it is a bit odd, but I overpowered it.”

“Then that’s enough. “They say he’s strong, but that was a long time ago.”

After talking, the two and their butler Alex headed deeper into the jungle.

“It’s about here. “Be careful.”

At the exact moment Alex warned, something blocked the way.

It was an insect made of iron. It had

six legs in total, and each end

had a large round wheel.

The mechanical monster that looked like a spider glared at Deus and Zeke with its red eyes.

“This is a no-go zone. I warn you. “Go away.”

Deus looked back at Alex.

“Did you lose to that one?”

“It would be an understatement to say I lost, but I was slightly overpowered.”

“Ha, hit the duke.”

“Is this another dismissal? Let’s fight once. “It’s not easy.”

“Am I on the same level as you? “ Zeek

is dispatched.”

“warning! Go away! warning! “Get out!”

With a sharp warning sound, the mechanical insect raised its butt menacingly.

“It fires lightning from its buttocks.”

“Did you get hit in the butt and lose your arm?”

“I was struck by lightning!”

“warning! This is a special border area. warning! “This is a special security zone.”

“What’s causing this fuss?”

Deus asked and Alex shrugged.

“I wanted to check it out, so I went in and got hit.”

“What should I do?”

Zeke raised his hand to the sword.

The enemy’s threat is getting stronger. It looked like they were going to shoot something at any moment.

“Shall we take a step back?” Deus took a step back.

Alex and Zeke followed him and took a step back.

The sound made by mechanical insects

has been slightly reduced.

“This is a no-go zone. I warn you. “Go away.”

The tone went back to the beginning again.

Deus said, looking into the eyes of the mechanical insect.

“It looks like a puppet or something. “It’s not alive.”

“Deus, do you remember that?”

” what?”

“It’s the mechanical giant we fought in Charcoal Village before.”

“ah! “You mean the one who shot light out of his eyes?”

“yes.”

“Now that I think about it, is it the same technology? uh! “So that means it’s a Gilded Age monster.”

“Are there relics from the Gilded Age in this jungle?”

“Is it a treasure? Then we have to take it. Zeke is on his way.”

“Yes yes.”
