Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 240

55. Obtaining the key to victory (2)

With the addition of cranes and manpower, 10 pit trucks’ worth of ore was organized into several piles.

Meanwhile, some of the dwarves were looking at Zeke and Deus Yulgeum and whispering.

Then, one person ran out with a surprised expression.

He pounced on Zeke and gave him a hug.

“Lord Zeke!”

“Duke of Kielce Baekani!”

“How many times have you saved the lives of these dwarves! It’s okay if you call me a dog or a cow instead of a peacock! It’s okay! “Her Majesty the Queen has said several times that she must express her gratitude to Prince Zeke and that she would like to see you.”

“I have to come see you and say hello.”

Kielce got off Zeke’s arms. Zeke laughed, looking at him covered in soot.

“I heard that you have become a duke, but

why are you a miner?”

“A title is just a name, and our family has been barons for hundreds of years. “It’s more comfortable this way.”

“It seems Kielce’s reputation as a humble city did not arise for nothing.”

Kielce laughed at Zeke’s words.

Then I made eye contact with Deus.

“You…

“Now that I think about it, that face remains in my memory.”

“It’s still the same.”

Kielce approached Deus and bowed.

“Thanks to the dragons you sent, we were able to overcome a great crisis. At that time, our Southern Root Clan was on the verge of annihilation after being attacked by giants. “If it weren’t for the dragons’ warp gate, the queen would have definitely been killed that day.”

“If you’re grateful, work like a dog to repay me.”

“I think so.”

Kielce bowed and bowed to Yulgeum one last time.

The dwarves did not know her exact identity

.

I just thought it was one of the high-ranking dragons.

Kielce said to Zeke.

“Instead of doing this here, come with me to Your Majesty.”

Guided by his hand, Zeke and Deus Yulgeum headed to the dwarves’ residence to meet the queen.

He met the Queen, exchanged greetings, and even attended a grand dinner party.

The dwarves looked at Deus and Zeke and expressed their gratitude several times. Judging by the fact that

he burst out laughing even at Deus’ harsh words, he

seemed to have made quite a good impression.

After spending a night in Rosdia, Zeke and Deus decided to return to Hallispindle Castle with Yulgeum.

One step ahead, Deus called Gene.

Genet was quite wary when he called her to a secret place.

“What’s going on?”

“I thought this was useful.”

Deus created a black hole in his hand. It was a warp gate

connected to the support of Rosdia .

“Can you make me another one? “Pair black and white beads.”

“It’s not difficult, but you need to get Yul Geum’s permission. “Warp gates are a dangerous technology to make for just anyone.”

“I guess they will allow it. “So far, she has never refused to listen to me.”

“…What on earth is your relationship?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Is it… that deep relationship?”

“Are you a lover?”

” yes.”

“Is that possible? “That woman is just unilaterally chasing me.”

“It didn’t look like that.”

“Do you know how groggy you get after a night of drinking?”

“Isn’t this a story I can tell to Yulgeum? “Don’t get soggy anymore.”

“sorry. “Pretend you didn’t hear it.”

“But what do you plan on using the warp gate for? It may seem like it’s just a magic ball, but it’s a really dangerous technique. “If we are not careful, this star itself may disappear.”

“It’s just that I want to have a private space.”

At Gene’s suspicious look, Deus spoke again.

“Even after looking like this, he was still a demon lord. Now that he’s kicked out, he’s nothing, but he did have a secret hobby or two. “There is absolutely no place to do that now.”

“What a secret hobby…

“I have something to do with succubi.” Gene’s cheeks turned red.

“What is that?”

“Would you like me to teach you in more detail? First,

tie their arms and neck and hang them on the wall. And with the rose vine whip…

“I’ll stop listening!”

“Are you going to make it for me?”

Jaune let out a long sigh.

“All right. Please write carefully. “Do you know how to set it up?”

“huh. “I’m the one who connected this.”

Gene summoned two orbs and handed them over to Deus.

Be careful not to touch his dirty hands.

When I saw Deus’ meaningful smile, my disgust grew stronger.

Even though I was working with him, I felt like I would never like him again.

“Master Deus.”

“why?”

“How can I become stronger?”

“Why are you doing this again?”

“I climbed to a place that no human being could climb.”

“yes. The power of each of the Four Gods of Death is comparable to that of the old Demon King. With your power now,

you won’t be able to find an enemy among the demon kings of all time except me. “Without companions.”

“But I am not an enemy of Nezar.”

“Why Nezar?”

“That’s right…”

“Am I untrustworthy?”

“No, it’s not like that.”

“It’s written on your face, man.”

“Haha, but that’s not the case. It’s just… I think this kind of thing suits Deus well.”

“The one who rules in the darkness of the world?”

“A merchant who doesn’t like to work.”

“If you have a lot of money, it’s the best job. “I

open a store, come to work late in the morning, take care of the employees, go to a favorite gaming place to kill time all day, and then come back for a drink at the bar time in the evening.”

“That’s exactly how you’re living right now.”

“I see.”

Deus laughed and Zeke scratched his head.

“Well, actually, I am like that too. “If the world were to be peaceful,

I think my job would be more fun selling food with good people like these.”

“But isn’t it peaceful?”

” yes.”

“Are you going to hit Nezar?”

“If Deus doesn’t want to do it.”

“Which one do you think?”

“Everyone said Deus has changed.”

“As I keep listening, do you think the same way?”

“If it’s a burden, I want to ease it. I already swore a long time ago. “I will live for Deus.”

“If you are a woman, you are already my wife.”

“Signi would have been happy to hear that.”

“That’s no joke.” Deus sighed briefly.

“All SIGNI wants is to get Migo back.”

” yes.”

“I guess that’s why you’re so anxious too.”

“Yes, of course. “Signi doesn’t say anything out loud about the situation, but… How would a mother feel after losing a tooth?”

“I know, man.”

Deus looked into the distance.

The place where Zeke and Deus were now was at the top of the rocky hill in Holly Spindle Castle.

It wasn’t a very big hill, about 20 meters high, but there was still no building taller than this in the castle.

Even the castle wall was at most 3 meters high, so if you stood on the hill, you could see the plains far outside the castle at a glance.

“Do you think I’ve changed?”

“I don’t think so.”

“You mean you feel that way at first glance?”

“I’m human. Human nature doesn’t change much, but if you look at it from moment to moment, it is quite fickle. Conflicts always collide in our hearts, and what we want to be and what we are now are always different. But I think Deus is like that too. “I didn’t become the devil because I liked it.”

“That’s right. “I was just born that way.”

“So I was thinking about taking on that role.”

“You want to become the devil?”

“no. “To fight Nezar.” Deus

was pacing on the rocky mountain with his arms crossed.

“Hmm… It’s how you become stronger. In some ways, I am actually in the same dilemma. Most of the power of you and me is the power of the Four Gods of Death. It’s borrowed power. “Even though he is in control.”

” that’s right.”

“I guess there is no way for the Shinigami Beast to become stronger. So in the end, it means that your body needs to become stronger. “How did you become strong?”

“Me? Well, learning magic and swordsmanship…

“All of that is useless. “That’s not your real strength.”

“The strength of a warrior comes from courage.”

“yes.”

“When courage reaches its peak, the path to the aura opens. If you can use the aura, you can practically see that you have reached the level of a warrior. “After that, as I gained more experience, I was able to use my aura more skillfully, but I don’t think there was any significant growth in my power.”

“The technology is just maturing. “If you look at the ranks of warriors, a B-class scumbag only rose to the top of B-class, but did

not go to A or G.”

” yes.”

“You can’t catch Nezar like that. That kid isn’t the type to become strong on his own. I keep making tools to strengthen myself. As for us, we will continue to capture the Four Gods and increase our strength.”

“You can even create that beast of death.”

“It would be nice if we could make it, but we can’t make a synthetic tree that’s as good as a Shinigami beast unless it’s at the level of a god.”

Zeke nodded.

“So in the end, it’s a round trip ticket. “There are limits to how strong I can become, and I can no longer hope for the fortune of the Four Gods of Death.”

“Don’t you think I’m missing something important?”

“You mean something important?”

“How did you become strong? “Why did you become stronger?”

“That’s thanks to Deus. “Because the spirit of resistance against the Demon King awakened Blood.”

“yes?”

“ah! “Then, if I keep fighting with Deus,

will I become stronger?”

“Would you like to relax for the first time in a while?”

“Would you like to meet me?”

Zeke laughed.

“Let’s stick together without the Four Gods of Death.”

” yes.”

A round shield with the demonic sword Asmodeus and Suzaku.

Zeke defeated Deus with only two pieces of equipment.

Deus also faced the demon king Muro Zeke, who realized it by swallowing the demon reiki and demon soul he had accumulated.

The two beings collided high in the sky above Holly Spindle, and

a huge explosion erupted.

The sound of thunder suddenly rang out in a weather with only sparse white clouds, and the people in the castle trembled with fear.

Only Yulgeum, who knew the cause of the sound, sighed and said one word.

“What are men?”

The end of the duel was Deus’ defeat.

Recently,

the balance of power was slightly

lost due to the handing over of the Demon Spirit and Demon Soul to Migo.

It was a very small gap, but there was no way Zeke wouldn’t have noticed it.

The tip of the sword stopped in front of Deus’ neck, and Deus pulled up the corners of his mouth.

“Your skills have improved again.”

“Yes?”

“You said you wanted to show off?”

“There is still a long way to go. “I tried image training, but I couldn’t break through Nezar’s wall.”

“There’s one thing that came to mind. Would you like to practice it?”

“If it’s Deus-sama’s guidance, we must follow it unconditionally.”

“It is probably Yulgeum’s map rather than my map.”

“Are you Yulgeum?”

“Instead, you should be good at seducing him. That woman is very weak when it comes to food. “You have to feed them lots of delicious food and make them happy.”

“If you’re flirting with Yulgeum, Deus is also good at it.”

“You won’t teach me. Even though I’m a dangerous being and all, I never do anything that would make me stronger.

“Compared to that, it’s kind to you.”

“is that so?”

“Human warriors are liked by everyone. Angels, dragons, dwarves and fairies all like them.”

“I can’t say no.”
