Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 47

——

11. Hunting the Giant (3)

“Warriors gathered to fight the giant.”

Kanadin shouted at the top of his voice and raised his fist.

“The lord placed a bounty of 1,000 gold on the giant’s head!”

The warriors shouted in excitement.

At most, about 100 people gathered here.

If you are successful in hunting,

you will receive about 10 gold coins per person.

There may be differences depending on performance, but at least 5 gold!

It was money I could barely get by doing C-level chores all year long.

The problem was how to do it.

“Lord Canadine! While waiting here, we all came together as one! I will take on the giant with all my might according to your orders. “Until the moment we become one team and kill the giant!”

The group of warriors cheered and

chanted Canadin’s name.

Looking at them, Kanadin felt as if his heart was shrinking.

Couldn’t win.

What kind of person is like that?

But even in such a fight, a warrior must never back down.

That was a warrior.

“let’s go!”

The warriors of the village roared at one word that Kanadin raised his fist.

Meanwhile, at this moment in the lord’s castle, where he was busy trying to come up with a solution,

Deus was tormenting Alex.

“It’s noisy.”

“What should I do?”

“Didn’t we build the house wrong? “The noise from outside is being transmitted straight to my room, right?”

“Then should we go cut that giant’s head off and stick it in the sewer?”

“you?”

“yes.”

“Can we win?”

“Hehehe, what kind of sad words.”

“Getting attention. “Can you win without showing off that you’re a demon?”

“Oh, that’s unreasonable.”

“Then just take care of the noise in my room.”

“Are you not planning on coming forward?”

” I?”

“yes.”

“Does that make money?”

“Oh, that’s it… But your reputation will definitely rise.”

“Zeke has to catch it.”

“Of course.”

“Zeke is grade B. “How does a B-class catch a giant

?”

“I think I’ve caught quite a few big ones so far.”

“It wasn’t in front of people.”

“The setting is solid.”

“of course.”

At that time, the door opened and two people appeared.

“Deus!”

“What? “Are you Zeke?”

“It’s a giant!”

“however?”

“But no. We must go out and fight. It is said that all the warriors in the city

gathered at the lord’s pavilion.”

Deus turned his head and looked at the person next to Zeke.

It was spherical.

young woman. But who was it?

“This is senior Lexia.”

Deus spoke again with an expression of no interest in Zeke’s short explanation.

“Do you want to go out?”

Lexia interrupted Zeke and clenched her fist.

“A crisis has come to Joryx Castle. “If you are a warrior’s companion, you must prepare for battle.”

“What are you going to do about that?”

“I, I…

Lexia trailed off.

“It looks like he’s not going out.”

“Your father will participate as a representative of the Holyoke family.”

“Like that.”

“Why are you talking like that? Me too… I want to join this fight too. “I have no choice but to step down because my father is desperately opposed to it.”

“Yes, yes, I understand.”

“What is it?”

“I understand. “I’m not interested, so just stay quiet.”

“Hey! Does the Holyoke family look that funny? Of course, recently they have remained at A-level and their influence in the Holy Emperor is decreasing, but as recently as the 665th century, they were a G-level warrior family. “It’s not enough to be laughed at by a nameless merchant like you!”

“Who said they were laughing? “I’m not interested.”

“me too!”

Lexia’s white fist

trembled.

Deus looked at Zeke and asked quietly.

“Why is he like that?”

“Master Deus.”

“what?”

“I will participate in this battle. Joryx Castle is the land where I was born and raised.”

“Do you really have to go?”

“yes!”

“For your information, neither I nor Alex will help. “Yulgeum… I don’t know, but there’s a good chance he won’t help.”

“All right.”

“The use of weapons is also prohibited. “Because it stands out too much.”

“Four four.”

“As I already said, we don’t want your level to rise too much. “Even if you catch and kill a giant, if it becomes G-class, you can’t use it as you wish.”

“yes.”

“Instead, I will allow you to take the weapons from the store.”

“thank you.”

“Are you really going?”

“yes.”

“You are very weak without a weapon.”

“A warrior prevents evil not because he is strong.”

“Wait a minute.”

Lexia raised her hand and interrupted the conversation between the two.

“What is that conversation? “It sounds like you can take down a giant if you wear a weapon.”

“of course. Do you think the weapon made from dragon scales is a joke?”

“Our family also has weapons made from dragon scales. “The sword my father

is using now is made of Dragon.”

“Hasn’t it been brewing for about 10,000 years? “It’s already been done and we’re barely holding on.”

“It’s like

, ‘Look. You can’t compare it to something like that. Could it be possible that a sword that was pulled out after being stuck in a rock for tens of thousands of years could be a famous sword? It all dried out in the wind and rain. Don’t ignore the sun. “Even if it’s only two or three years old, things like leather will wear out.”

“Don’t pass it off as a pun.”

“I’m not joking.”

“Then prove it. “ I will fight with you

.”

“senior!”

Zeke raised his voice.

“The Holyoke family has already…

“The family doesn’t matter. I, Lexia van Holyoke, must see it with my own eyes. Zeke, what kind of warrior are you? “Was it a coincidence that I defeated the dragon that day, or was there some reason?”

While Zeke hesitated, Lexia opened her mouth again.

“I’m a warrior too.”

“That’s interesting. “What did your rank say

?”

“I got an A grade.”

“Then wouldn’t it be worth roughly rubbing it together? “One class A and one class B, the shapeless face of a dragon… Alex.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“Set it up.”

“Your words are a little different from before. “Haven’t you decided not to do anything that would attract too much attention?”

“So it’s not Zeke who should get the attention.”

“ah! All right.”

Deus smiled and looked at Lexia

.

“I won’t be held responsible even if you die.”

“What does that mean?”

“If your skills are fake, you will definitely die. Zeke, lend me your shield and gauntlets to that woman.”

“All right.”

“You wear weapons and war boots. “There are two equally, so fight as much as you want.”

Deus’ impromptu decision resulted in the creation of a separate unit, unlike the castle’s regular warrior unit.

The two heroes are Zeke and Lexia.

Alex and Yulgeum played the roles of wizards who help the warriors from behind.

Lexia asked Deus in a secret place on the castle wall, her face covered with a helmet.

“What are you going to do?”

“me? spectator.”

Yulgeum yawned and received Deus’ words.

“I slept late last night… do we really have to fight now?”

“Ask the giant. “Why are you coming in now

?”

“But did a giant live around here?”

As Yulgeum stretched and asked, Zeke and Lexia looked at each other.

She opened her mouth again.

“Well, the place you live can change. “What is the operation?”

“I will take charge of the vanguard. Zeke… look for an opportunity and attack. “Because my grades in swordsmanship tests were always top-notch.”

“It’s about when I was in elementary school.”

Zeke was wearing a shield and breastplate made of steel. All of them were short, charcoal-made weapons custom-produced by Yul Geum in the past, and they were good quality items that were medium to thin.

“Then let’s go!”

Lexia shouted and jumped off the castle wall.

All she has is a long rope.

I got down to the ground as if I was on a swing, relying on the rope that had already been fixed to the castle.

Zeke also glided down the castle alongside her.

Unlike Lexia, who was like a swan, Zeke hurriedly stepped on the ground, stepping on the castle wall several times.

Yulgeum looked back at Deus.

“What is the operation?”

“First of all, I’m a spectator… butler.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“I’m just watching to make sure Zeke doesn’t die.”

“Shall we protect that little girl too?”

“What do you know?”

“All right.”

Meanwhile, Lexia, who had landed on the ground, could not believe this situation even to herself

.

While about 100 of the castle’s warriors were gathered together to discuss how to deal with the giant, they thought of dealing with the giant with just one person, Zeke!

Distrust breeds hesitation.

This is stupid.

Although it was made from dragon scales, the one holding the shield was Rexia herself.

A class hero.

Can we be sure that the family’s influence did not play a role in it? If there was

no support like Zeke’s Holly Beach family,

there was a high possibility that he would have received a lower rank than A.

Hesitation became the parent of fear.

I took a step back without realizing it. The moment I made eye contact with the giant, my body froze.

You have to run away. Give up everything even now.

With that thought in mind, I looked to the side.

Zeke was there.

Holding a steel shield and wearing a plain breastplate you could buy at a store, he looked straight at the giant.

Unwavering faith.

From facial expressions. From the look in your eyes.

I could feel Zeke’s strength even in my steps and my exhaled breath.

Is it really that bellboy Zeke?

Or is there someone else hiding behind that hide?

“senior.”

“Four, no, yes.”

“I went to school looking at my seniors rather than the legendary warriors. Among the warriors born in Joryx Castle, the one with the highest potential is the senior. “It is not common for a warrior to receive an A grade at only 18 years old.”

“Why are you saying that?”

“Please use this sword.”

“But…

“It’s a sword that can cut the head of a Doomsrino Hydra.”

Lexia accidentally received Zeke’s sword.

“Then I’ll make an opening!”

Zeke saw Lexia’s body stiffen.

He seemed nervous as he faced the giant’s huge body.

She is Grade A in both sword fighting ability and physical strength, so she should be superior.

Zeke decided to become a guide for her.

He raised his shield and drew his dagger.

And without delay, he started running towards the giant.

“Zeke!”

Lexia screamed his name. It was at that moment that the giant’s huge fist landed on Zeke’s head.

“I heard you are a warrior who requires a lot of effort.” Yulgeum snapped his fingers.

Her will became magic and

inhabited Zeke’s body.

It added a little bit of strength.

It made my steps lighter and my senses more alert.

By overlapping spells that an ordinary wizard could easily accomplish, he awakened Zeke’s potential.

“Wow, you’re excellent. So many orders at the same time!”

Yulgeum nodded at Alex’s praise.

“That’s too much praise.”

“It’s quite possible that your master will fall in love with you at first sight.”

“Who falls for whom?”

“Hohoho, it seems like that too, right?”

“Has that bastard been cursed three times a day within three minutes of eating so that the day can pass by?”

“It’s surprisingly difficult to understand your own mind.”

“I know very well that I want to kill you.”

While the two warlords were arguing, Zeke’s lonely battle continued.

Yulgeum said while looking at that.

“Zeke-kun, you’ve definitely surpassed B-grade.”
