Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 201

46. Keeping the promise made 10 years ago (2)

The Grand Cross collapsed and the wind spread hundreds of meters.

Because of this, the Shinigami’s scythe fell on the human army that was surrounding the fight between the Demon King and the Hero.

Thousands of lives were lost in an instant. The soldiers screamed horribly and retreated.

He paid no heed to the commander’s shouts. Not turning around and running away

felt like a symbol of bravery.

The soldiers were so desperate that they could not help their fallen allies, so they stepped on them and retreated. The screams sounded like a scream.

Deus snorted.

“It’s insignificant.”

I looked up.

The angels merely showered the light of protection and did not come forward directly.

Maybe they are saying the same thing as you.

It’s insignificant.

That pissed me off so much.

I felt like I wouldn’t calm down if I didn’t go crazy.

Deus’s wind tore apart space once again.

The Zodiac Knights dodged that fist.

There was no power left to stop it. Everyone was pushed to their limits and needed time to take a breather.

Blood splattered along the path of the fist.

Human beings are torn, broken, and broken arbitrarily.

Even dolls will be respected more than them.

The most frivolous death in the world counts tens of thousands.

“It’s insignificant! “You bastards!” Deus roared in anger. I issued my first ticket again.

Fear completely dominated this space. There was only one thing left before the human group: death.

And when that happens, a hero always appears.

Quang’s

fist was blocked.

The man is breathing heavily and clutching his shield.

The shield hit by the Demon King’s fist was pushed back, and the human himself slightly emerged.

But it didn’t collapse in the end.

I pressed down hard on my raised front paw and pulled up my shield to cover my chest.

And while hiding behind the shield, he watched the Demon King’s eyes with his own two eyes.

Hidden in his black shadow, he attempted a counterattack.

“Humans!”

he shouted.

“You are not guilty. God wants you to win. Do you know what the evidence is?”

The humans murmured.

“The proof is this body. I am a shield that will never be broken. I am a warrior who will never be defeated. I swear. “I will lead you to the glory of victory!”

Deus laughed.

It is not a sneer or a smile twisted with anger.

“My name is Sieg Van Jade! “Demon

King, I cannot allow you to take even one step!”

Deus’ strike hit Zeke’s shield squarely.

Let’s get rid of weak demon lords like Demon King Mu!

This fist is an invincible spear that pierces everything.

My fists gain strength.

Even a light blow can’t inflict even a small wound on that guy.

I took a deep step and threw my fist straight at the launch pad.

Thunder sounded again.

The shield dents.

Although it is made from dragon scales and imbued with Suzaku, there is no way it will be able to withstand the devil’s blow.

The afterimage of the fist increases from one to two, from two to four.

The shield was crushed by the ultra-fast fist.

It seemed like a little more attack could completely destroy it.

At that moment, a sharp light tightened my jaw.

Deus quickly tilted his head back.

The sword cut through the wind and made a whistling sound.

By a narrow margin, I was able to avoid my jaw splitting in two.

Meanwhile, the shield regenerated. Even the shield seemed to have come to life thanks to the presence of Suzaku.

Deus rushed at Zeke once again.

But it seems that Zeke’s counterattack is not over.

He turned his body around and before I knew it, he was digging into my left side.

When I lowered my head to feel a stinging sensation,

the hem of my clothes was torn. A thin trace of blood can be seen on the side exposed through the gap.

Black blood flows. There is no doubt that he is the devil.

You hurt the devil’s body!

“Hahaha!”

He burst into laughter.

He hit the head with a fist clenched like a hammer.

The damn shield blocks me every time. However, they are not so good-natured that they retreat just because there is an obstacle in their way. He raised the tip of his left hand

and struck a spear-like blow .

The shield was immediately pierced.

Zeke, who inertically raised his shield to block, was hit on the forearm by the devil’s blow.

The thing that resided in the armor was a blue dragon.

It was not possible to penetrate Suzaku’s shield and even destroy the Blue Dragon’s armor.

Deus was satisfied with that and withdrew his hand.

The battle has ended.

Deus’ hand stopped and Zeke also observed the situation while hiding himself behind his shield.

Many warriors on the battlefield fell into a sense of shame.

I despaired of the devil’s power.

Even Joe Deak Knight was nothing in front of his overwhelming defeat.

Death crossed everyone’s minds. Hope was gone, and all I could think about was how to avoid the gloomy pain.

The devil is like a symbol of despair.

It was no one else but the Black Hero who stopped it.

The term ‘black hero’ is a disparaging name meaning that one is tainted by evil.

However, at this moment, the being that hundreds of thousands of people were relying on was none other than the Black Hero.

The battle that had stopped for a while began again.

The power of the Demon King was truly terrifying.

The shock wave from the punch was enough to crush nearby humans.

Confusion once again came to the human army as the soldiers who were watching blankly retreated back.

A skit took place

in which hundreds of people were trampled to death by their comrades simply by running away while watching the battle, rather than fighting against the demon lord .

The warriors fought their fight relatively close by.

Among those warriors was Katran van Hollygum, who had a brief relationship with Zeke.

He was a G-class warrior of the Kingdom of Isolta and participated in the war leading about 100 knights of his family.

Katran came forward, wanting to watch Zeke’s battle closer.

A fierce battle unfolded before our eyes.

There wasn’t a single person helping Zeke right now.

Both the wizard and the archer just watched with their hands down.

Zeke was now proudly confronting the Demon King on his own.

Power collided and made the heavens and earth shake. A person whose blood does not boil in that fight would not be a warrior.

Tears flowed from Katran’s eyes.

I am proud that I was able to become colleagues with him even for a short time. Even more so because I was able to hear his sincerity in advance. Meanwhile

, it was none other than Cadenza who was looking at

this battle with the most complicated mood .

He looked up at the sky.

Even the angel did not give Zeke any protection.

A warrior abandoned by God.

It was natural for humans to reject him.

But…

Cadenza turned his eyes to Zeke’s back again.

If it weren’t for Zeke, humans would have been annihilated in this battle.

There was a separate team led by Regin, but

all he wanted to do was save one SIGNI.

Zeke already saved humanity once by defeating the Demon King 10 years ago.

And again today.

How should Seonghwangcheong treat Zeke now?

If you look at his achievements alone, it would not be enough to dedicate the entire world to him.

“You will be hated even more.” I muttered with a sigh.

The battle continued for a full day.

The very fact that there was a human in the world who could fight the devil for 24 hours was a mysterious thing.

The commanders, who were watching the battle in a daze, collected the soldiers and made them retreat to the rear.

Dividing the unit into three, one guarded the battlefield and the other two were ordered to rest and resupply.

The battle was still intense until the army woke up and woke up the next day.

The land within a radius of several hundred meters where the battle between the Demon King and Zeke was continuing

was destroyed and turned into a desert. The powdered earth is swept up by the storm-like energy they emit and rises high into the sky.

Still in the center of the battlefield, the two were repeatedly striking, blocking, and counterattacking.

Deus kicked Zeke’s leg with his face covered in blood.

A gap appeared between the shields.

Zeke’s body swayed.

He was holding on, but he seemed quite exhausted.

Deus

struck the front of the shield with his fist.

There’s no way a clumsy attack would work. It must be broken down by force.

That was the path of defeat pursued by the devil. The shield collapsed and Zeke’s body was pushed back.

Made 8 attacks in one breath.

As he struck Zeke’s shield alternately with his left and right hands, it was crushed like scrap metal.

I stopped holding my hand for a moment out of breath.

Zeke’s sword popped out as if he had been waiting for that moment.

The blade was embedded deep in my side.

The sword imbued with the power of Suzaku was hotter than lava.

“Ugh!”

Deus made a short hissing sound.

But he didn’t back down. I widened my eyes and took a step closer to Zeke.

The blade of the sword pierced through my back.

At the same time, I punched Zeke in the face.

Zeke put down his sword and raised his hand.

He blocked Deus’ fist with his forearm. However , it was not easy to block the

devil’s blow with human skin .

The bone in my forearm broke all at once. If I hadn’t jumped back at just the right moment, my face would have ended up like that.

Zeke retreated once more and hurriedly memorized the recovery spell.

Manaring embodied golden light and restored his forearm. The bone was barely attached, but the throbbing pain did not go away.

Deus pulled out the sword from his waist and threw it to the ground.

As soon as it escaped Zeke’s grasp, the sword returned to its original form.

Doomsrino’s blade melted into the demon king’s blood.

Deus threw his only half sword on the ground and exposed his teeth at Zeke.

Zeke took a deep breath.

The long fight is now over.

I felt quite a bit tired just holding the shield.

“Admit it. That you were defeated O”

Deus opened his mouth.

“Demon King, the warrior is not defeated.”

It wasn’t Deus and Zeke.

It was a fight between the devil and the hero.

Because Zeke faced Deus as a hero, he even changed his tone of voice.

Deus also accepted it naturally.

“Is this just petty pride?”

“No matter what you call it, it doesn’t change.”

“Even if I die?”

“Death is just a continuation of life. “It is just a station that I have always passed through and will continue to pass through

.”

“But you are not a hero.”

Zeke shrugged his shoulder.

“Look around you. The countless crowds of humans surrounding you. They are bystanders. “No one helps you, they just enjoy watching you fight.”

“I am a warrior. It’s not because I’m recognized by someone. “I am a warrior because I am a warrior.”

“Let’s pray together that in the distant future, those you protected will remember you, even if just for a moment. “Then let’s end it.”

Deus’ body swelled.

Its flesh turned black, and long horns sprouted from its forehead.

The blue flame burning on the skin was so bright that its boundaries were clearly visible even in broad daylight.

In terms of power, Zeke was no match for the Demon King Deus.

He was nearly 3 meters tall, and the minor wounds on his body had completely disappeared.

The staying power was still unmeasurable.

People were completely shocked by his appearance.

The Demon King has not given his all until now.

The moment I realized that fact, my faith in Zeke was shaken.

It’s not safe here anymore.

He hesitated and started to look for a way to escape.
