Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 318

72. Post-war processing ?

Zeke climbed on Yeomma’s back and ran through the field.

It was truly a huge plain.

Even though I ran for a long time, I couldn’t get any closer to the mountain range that stood so far away that it seemed as if I could catch it.

How long did it run like that?

After coming across a large stream, Zeke decided to rest for a while.

Enma of the Demon World loved the blood of warriors

.

Even if you give just a little, you will quickly replenish your energy.

Moreover, the magic sword Asmodeus was also a sword that drank the blood of warriors.

“There are all these guys who like my blood. “Do you like my blood or do you like me? That’s the same.”

I wiped my sweat in the stream and lay down on the moss that was like a carpet.

A cool breeze flowed from the deep forest and cooled Zeke’s sweat.

— Come here.

Suddenly the wind whispered.

At first I thought I had heard something wrong, but the sound gradually became clearer. It was clearly an obliteration.

Zeke slowly got up. It was dark deep in the forest. I walked towards there like I was crying. How long did you walk? There was a land filled with light amidst the dense greenery.

There was a woman there.

“Raguel.”

Since his original body had become corrupted and was trapped in a restraint sphere, what was now in front of Zeke was an illusion similar to Raguel’s alter ego.

Zeke looked around.

A secret barrier completely blocked communication with the outside world.

Zeke got down on one knee and bowed his head.

Although the other person was said to be an illusion, it was an archangel.

I paid my respects and waited for her to speak.

“How much truth have you seen? “Do you still not understand the futility of this world?”

“I don’t know such difficult words.”

“This world is full of lies. The Continent of Jose was like that, and so is the Demon World. For hundreds of centuries, humanity has stagnated. Do you think that is the will of the True Lord?”

“That’s what I learned.”

“From whom does that teaching come? Is it really from one owner? Or are they a group of lies who falsely claim to be Him?”

“I don’t have the ability to tell them apart.”

“Didn’t I say I would give you that power?”

“I can’t handle it.”

“It’s frustrating.”

“Raguel. “What kind of being is God?”

“He is the Lord of the world.”

“Are you saying you own it?”

“You don’t even have to own it. Because of Him the world exists.”

“A great being like that… would not just sit by and watch a false god.”

“He was away for a while.”

“Why did you do that?”

In response to Zeke’s question, Raguel shook his head

and opened his mouth.

“It was Sandalphon’s doing. It’s Metatron’s doing. Those twin sisters were originally like gods in this world. Everything came into being and everything grew. In six nights, light and darkness created mountains, seas, animals and plants, and even humans were born. They were gods. “They were gods until they met the tyrant.”

“Are you saying Yulgeum… created this world?”

“Metatron and Sandalphon, the twin sisters, fell at the feet of the god. They decided to take God

as their master and rule over day and night. He accepted Lucifer, Sariel, Zafkiel, Raziel Kamael, Zadkiel Hamiel, and Raguel as his companions and ruled the world.”

What Raguel recited were the archangels of the Old Testament.

“God left while I was sleeping in great sacrifice. But none of my colleagues are talking about it. This world has become a fake world serving a false king. “No one listens to me, so I have no choice but to go it alone.”

“Don’t torture yourself. Maybe there was some misunderstanding? How about asking Yulgeum in more detail? They say Yulgeum is the god of this world. Or Sandalphon.”

“Where is Sandalphon?”

“That’s me too…

“Why is the false god speaking with the voice of Sandalphon…

Raguel’s words were suddenly cut off.

When she disappeared, the illusion she had created also disappeared.

The once dense forest withered away.

The clear flowing water became muddy, and the moss-filled rocks crumbled to dust.

“Don’t trust her. “Because you’re so kind… I’m a little worried.”

“Yulgeum.”

What appeared in the dry forest was none other than Yulgeum.

Yulgeum stretched out his hand to a bone-like branch.

Green buds appeared where her fingertips touched the body temperature. The leaves opened wide and flowers bloomed.

The figure was like a god.

“Yulgeum… did you really create this world?”

“Look at that. “You’ve already fallen in love with her words.”

“ah! “Then isn’t it?”

“I can’t say more than this. I’m not Metatron. “It’s just a golden song.”

Zeke scratched his head.

“As expected, I’m in a mess because I’m not with Deus-sama. “If they continue like this, they will be deceived by others and unlock the key to the destruction of mankind.”

“Don’t talk so low of yourself. Zeke, you are not an ordinary human being. A strong mind resides in a strong body. “The mind of a superhuman is bound to grow in a superhuman.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

Zeke smiled and opened his mouth again.

“But Deus, what are you doing?”

“I don’t know either. “We broke up.”

“Yeah? why?”

“You’re being annoying.”

“Deus-sama is not the type to be kind to others.”

“Anyway, I will never go back until that guy puts both knees on the ground and bows his head.”

“It sounds like you are saying you will break up forever.”

“What do you know?”

“But seeing as you came all the way here, it looks like you were watching Raguel.”

Zeke remembered her talking to him while covering her surroundings with a barrier.

It meant that he was hiding himself from someone.

“Not only Raguel, but Raziel is also in the process of being corrupted. “I suddenly remembered what Deus said.”

“Are you talking about the dragons becoming corrupted?”

“huh. If someone is artificially inducing corruption, it really isn’t normal. Otherwise, we would have to say that the two archangels happened to fall at the same time by chance…

“That would be impossible, right?”

“I actually don’t know. “Because unimaginable things often happen ‘by chance.’”

“really?”

“What are you talking about as if you were talking to someone else? “Would you like me to at least hold a mirror?”

“yes? Ah…me?”

“There have been cases in the past where humans took off their masks and entered the land of gods, but this is the first time we’ve seen an example as extreme as yours.”

“Haha Yulgeum is being generous to me. I just got a little stronger thanks to the power of the Shinigami Beast. So what is it this time? Do we also need to check the armpits?”

“Won’t you stop talking like that guy

? “How could an angel be affected by something like mold?”

“sure?”

“secret.”

“no way.”

“Or would you like to take a step up?”

” yes?”

“To God’s world.”

“That’s…

“Zeke, you’re qualified.”

“Why are you doing this so scary? Deus-sama is the kind of person who says anything spontaneously, so that’s okay, but Yulgeum-nim is also like that, so

I can’t just laugh it off.”

“Serious Scout. “We’re headhunting to hire that guy.”

“What is God’s world?” Should we say ‘composition’?”

“Seek the Tao?”

«Ugh

“O-

“What is that?”

“That question starts. “What is Tao?”

“It’s too difficult.”

“If you don’t avoid it, you will eventually reach it.”

The door opened.

Eulgeum tried to leave there again.

“Yulgeum!”

“why’?”

“Call me anytime you need.” she laughed

“On the subject of Zeke! “Still, I’ll keep that in mind.”

When Zeke returned to base, a chaotic atmosphere greeted him.

The cause was not far away.

A woman with black hair looked at Zeke

and nodded.

Zeke recognized her identity at a glance.

“Dragon… you are.”

“It is called Aponal, the black dragon. Greetings to the great warrior Zeke.”

“Please skip the wedding ceremony. Just Zeke is enough.”

The Yellow Dragon Knights were now lined up in rows and rows.

His expression was dark. There was a clear look of haste.

Not only them, but Regin too

was staring at Zeke with a stern expression on his face.

The culprit behind all of this is probably the dragon.

Zeke asked her.

“Is there a problem?”

“I am just a messenger. “I received a request from Her Majesty April, Queen of the Kingdom of Verde.”

“Her Majesty the Queen?”

“I flew quite a distance to find you. “I’m not familiar with Mugwort’s territory here… I’m a little scared.”

“What is going on in the kingdom? “Looking at your expression

, it looks like something bad happened.”

“A great crisis has befallen the kingdom… no, mankind.”

“Is there a problem?”

“There was a war. It looks like the humans attacked the demon world with all their might.”

“Is that true?”

“A huge number of warriors, knights, peasants and slaves were mobilized. “It looks like a million-strong army has been deployed several times.”

“You are defeated.”

“It looks like the northern wall of the Demon World’s capital has fallen. “The moment we were about to celebrate complete victory… complete victory turned into complete defeat.”

“Who was the enemy?”

“Demiurge 666 years old. “They say the exiled king has returned.”

Would it have been better not to ask?

No, I already knew the answer.

Zeke knew both the human world and the demon world well. Currently, the human side had the upper hand in the power ratio.

If humans lost miserably in that war, he made his move.

“Even those Zodiac Knights, only two of them came back alive. It is said that the Holy Knights of Libra and Virgin are unable to escape the shock of defeat and are going crazy. The kingdom lacks knights to guard the castle…

“What?”

“There were not enough knights.

“Did you say which of the paladins survived?”

“The Zodiac Knights of Libra and Virgo have survived.”

“What happened to the Knight of Scorpio… or Mr. Ori Don?”

“He was killed in action.”

The moment Zeke heard his words, he felt like something hit his solar plexus.

“He… was killed in action?”

“I’m sorry.”

Zeke looked back at Regin. I felt like I knew what was in that expression.

Cadenza and Oridon were Regin’s teachers and family members.

“thank you for telling me.”

Zeke lowered his head. I

couldn’t lift my head again for a long time

.

“Zuuuuuuuuun!”

“Oh, here we are again.”

Deus turned his head away as if he was annoyed.

“The seven dukes held meetings day and night for several days. You can definitely win. certainly!”

Deus sighed at Alex’s words.

“What objective results are guaranteed by the results of your meeting?”

“Through intense brainstorming…

“Where is the brain? jellyfish? crocodile? Goat? snake? bat? scarab? dragon cancer? “Where is the head hanging?”

“It’s not a jellyfish!”

“Oh sorry. octopus.”

“Beholders are the best brains in the demon world.”

“Isn’t the last thing Brain did recently was stick around and lick Nezar’s ass?”

“When did I lick it?

” “Nezar said that he broke it.”

“It’s a frame-up. “You must

listen to the advice of your loyal subjects .”

“Shall I cross-examine you?”

“No, but where on earth is Nezar? There is also a rumor that he died along with Jose when the continent collapsed…
