Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 33

8. Fighting with the Dragon God (3)

“Is this really nothing to do with Darosh?”

“Would you believe it if I told you what to say?”

“But that’s true.”

“Now that you’re involved in this play, you’re in the same boat. Jin Geum-yong is already dead. “You can either keep going together or turn the tables.”

“Honestly…

“Honestly?”

“I don’t want to get involved, but.”

“I don’t like it?”

“It feels like I will be poisoned if I go out alone.”

“of course. “I will be the first to hold you accountable for the family you killed.”

“What should I do with a few dead red lizards?”

“It wouldn’t be a big deal if the devil did it.”

“of course. Because it exists for slaughter and destruction.”

“Then what about the human named Deus?”

” hmm?”

“Can you take responsibility? Barely a human subject

? Deus, a wealthy man living off a B-class hero?”

“I should give up everything and return to the Demon King. is not it?”

Deus looked straight at Yulgeum.

That’s what I heard and saw.

Even if the demon king Demiurge 666 caused massacre, it would only add one more sin to the countless sins he would commit in the future.

Everyone would criticize him, but there was no need to worry. Because that’s the kind of job it was originally (?).

But human Deus was different.

Since I had chosen an ordinary life, it was very difficult to slaughter dragons in Dragon’s Lair.

“So, please do me a favor. Won’t you turn it on when you get a job? “If you want to hide a tree, the best way is to be in the forest.”

“Get a job?”

“To that group of heroes. “Don’t you need a beauty wizard?”

“…I’m serious?”

“huh. “I’m going to stay human for a while.”

“Isn’t everyone recognizing me?”

“Because it is magic created with my power,

it won’t be discovered that easily. “You don’t even recognize the butler who always sticks around?”

“Ha, I can’t. “If you want to join the party, do so.”

“good. “Since you’re begging me like that, I’ll join you.”

“You seem genuinely happy. Don’t you think work is an excuse and you just want to hang out among humans?”

Yulgeum did not answer Deus’ question.

“nice to meet you. “It’s Yulgeum.”

Deus was startled as he heard Yulgeum’s greeting. You suddenly confessed your real name.

But Alex’s reaction was more impressive.

“Yulgeum. nice to see you. Are you saying that you are acquainted with my lord?”

“I’m a letter friend. “Do you think we’re pen pals?”

“Oh indeed. You are an amazing beauty. Please take good care of my master.”

“thank you.”

Alex approached Deus and bowed his head.

“My lord, you are quite good too. “You left your hometown because of such a beautiful person!”

“Calm down, butler. “You are being deceived.”

“Hahaha, you must be embarrassed. I cheer for you. “The 667-year-old will be far superior to your lord, at least in terms of face.”

Deus glanced at Yulgeum.

In my opinion, nothing had changed from before, but it seemed like a strange hypnotic trick had been used on Alex.

Of course, you couldn’t say she wasn’t a beauty, but this level of fuss was too much to think about.

“It’s called brainwashing.”

“I am not so shabby that I could be brainwashed.”

It seemed like he had been completely hit. Deus turned his eyes to Zeke.

Yulgeum was greeting him as if it was the first time they had met.

“Zike is a hero, right?”

“Yes, it’s B grade.”

“Isn’t it great if it’s B grade? “I’m only 14 years old, so

I’m sure I can grow even more.”

“thank you.”

Zeke’s face turned red and he couldn’t even make eye contact.

“You do it in moderation. “What on earth are you doing?”

Yulgeum looked the other way.

“What are you talking about?”

“Isn’t that too harsh?”

“What setting? “Everyone is just surprised when they see my real face.”

“Do whatever you want. “The shame will be yours.”

“What should I do then?”

“Are you even going to work?”

“Because I’m bored.”

“You just wanted to use the big problem as an excuse and have fun, right?”

“I don’t think you understand anything at all.”

“Hey Alex.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“Please at least hold a broom.”

“Cleaning for such a beautiful person! “Master, come to your senses.”

“You come to your senses.”

Alex left Deus and approached Yulgeum.

“Yulgeum, please come this way. “I think it would be a great help to the store’s sales if you could share that smile with customers at the counter.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Deus clicked his tongue at that and left the store. I sat down on the chair I always fell asleep on.

The world is twisted.

As a shadow fell over my face, I narrowed my eyes and looked up.

It was just a cloud passing by. The sun appeared again and dazzled the eyes

.

Even though the Demon King killed Jin Geum-yong, nothing happened.

What on earth is God doing?

Even this is tolerated, so why is the Demon King always defeated by the hero?

Is it really human power? Without the breath of God.

Long-brimmed hats once again obscured the sky.

He asked Yulgeum, who was looking down at him.

“What are you doing’?”

“caliber.”

“What sight?”

“The devil is dozing off while sitting on a swinging bench.”

“ha ha ha.”

After a dry laugh, I closed my eyes.

“Wake up.”

“why’?”

“I have to work.”

“The boss doesn’t work. “I’m the boss because I don’t work.”

“This is the perfect management mindset for failure.”

“Don’t teach the boss about the second topic of the clerk.”

“Something other than weaponry.” Deus opened his eyes.

“Has something happened again?”

“You have to pay back the debt you owe.”

“Debt?”

“Are you going to kill so many of my children and then turn a blind eye?”

“It happened because you were suspicious.”

“I don’t blame you for doing something like that, but you have to make things right, right?”

“Repair? Should I go to the funeral and cry?”

“What nonsense?”

After saying this, Yulgeum put his hand in his sleeve and took it out.

What was placed on top of it were a handful of jewels.

“It’s the soul of the children. “I will resurrect you.”

“Resurrection?”

« o ”

“What? Then you’re not dead. “There’s no need to say I owe you anything.”

“He’s dead. Because the soul is innocent in itself .

It has lost all ties and remains as a nucleus. The relationship built over hundreds or thousands of years is the self itself. A soul that has lost its ego is infinitely closer to an inanimate object.”

There was mild anger in Yulgeum’s voice.

“You killed so many lives.”

“Why don’t you show the same sensitivity when a dragon comes out on a royal rampage, destroying castles and killing hundreds of humans?”

” that.

“The number of lives lost with each step I take and each

sip of water I drink is infinite. “Don’t overdo it by a few tens.”

“Anyway, as long as I keep my mouth open. So, I won’t make an issue of that, so please help me wake up these souls.”

“You can do that quickly with your powers.”

“I’m only human now.”

“Then do it later.”

“It has to be done within 49 days.” Deus grumbled.

“Then do this first and then either become human or not.”

“Do it anyway.”

Deus scratched his head.

“Well… I don’t have anything to do anyway, so I’ll hang out for a bit. But your attitude was wrong. “I have to ask you to do it.”

“Wow, look at this shameless devil. “He misunderstood and beat him to death, but instead he shouted loudly.”

“How do I know if it was a misunderstanding or if you are still deceiving me?”

“You are the first person in 666 centuries to accuse me of being a liar.”

“Thank you?”

“it’s okay. “Do whatever you want.”

Yulgeum put the jewel back in his sleeve and turned around.

Her golden hair came into view.

The world is twisted.

why? And how?

The answer to this question was difficult to find.

That’s why…

“Even if I try to force myself like this later… will you listen? “I still owe you one wish.”

When Deus asked, Yulgeum turned his head halfway.

“I guess I’ll find out when I go there?”

“Don’t say anything else.”

Deus stood up.

It was an extremely unstable alliance, but now we had no choice but to go.

To see the true face of this twisted world.

The place where Yulgeum took Deus was a sunny land at the end of a rugged mountain valley.

Several types of herbs were picked and collected in a small basket.

“Why don’t you just gather wild greens yourself

?”

Deus sat down on the rock and grumbled.

“Do you have selective short-term memory loss?”

“what?”

“Don’t you remember what you were sitting on?”

“Oh, that’s right. “It was so peaceful that I forgot.”

Stone Cassad, a type of golem.

The monster in the shape of a giant snake lunged at Deus, trying to bite him with its sharp obsidian teeth.

Although Stone Kasad was nothing compared to a dragon, it was treated as a giant-level monster.

The one I just hunted was also a large species, reaching 17 meters in length.

Just swinging its tail to attack was enough to crush a group of troops.

When faced with the monster, Deus simply said one word.

“Leave it behind.”

The Stone Kasad was shattered by the power of the Unspoken Spirit and scattered throughout the valley.

And Deus was sitting on the largest lump among them as a chair.

“I can handle this much alone.”

“no.”

“what?”

“Because it can’t be the singularity of the world.”

She said as she gathered herbs.

“What’s so special about it?”

“A pretty and delicate girl like me shouldn’t take down Stone Kasad alone.”

“Would you like to receive a guest?”

“That in itself is a singularity.”

“Are you saying you don’t want to be the center of attention?”

“That’s it. “I am now disintegrated into a human being, but if transcendental beings look closely, they can know my identity.”

“Like an angel or a god?”

“huh.”

” I am?”

“That’s the devil lord.”

“Are you saying I’m being watched now too?”

“well?”

“Aren’t I a singularity too? “You slaughtered the dragons.”

“That’s… it’s upsetting to me, but it’s something that could happen. “It is not included in the singularity.”

“I don’t know what it is.”

“Even if one day it suddenly rains heavily and a flood occurs and a huge city is submerged, it is not unusual. However, if a raindrop falls and suddenly turns upside down and returns to the cloud, that is a singularity.”

“It’s not about the gravity of the matter, but about the laws of the world.”

“You’re smart.”

Deus sat on the rock and

watched her work.

Among the herbs, any with dirty leaves were removed one by one. The work was done well and meticulously to the point of being boring.

“Does it look strange?”

Yulgeum asks.

“huh. “Why are you cutting grass if you say you’re bringing dragons back to life?”

“These are materials that make it easy for new bodies to grow. “I feel fresh.”

“God is truly God.”

“of course. But please don’t look at me too intently.”

“why?”

“I heard you can make the devil pregnant just by looking at him?”

“no it’s not. At least hold my hand…

“Well, that’s a relief.”

Yulgeum collected herbs until quite late in the day. Only after the basket was full did I suggest going back.

And Deus silently stayed by her side until she finished her work.

A few days later.

The new incident

began with a short conversation between Deus and Alex.

“By the way, butler.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“I even registered at the hero office, so shouldn’t I try to work as a hero?”

“From what I heard, that’s true too.” Immediately, Zeke’s team of warriors gathered.
