Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 85

20. Passing through the land of giants (1)

“Has it been confirmed that it is in double digits? “Isn’t there a possibility that the investigation equipment is broken?”

“Then how do you explain that you have passed G-Class at the age of 14?”

“That’s it again.”

“Double-digit numbers are special. “I will persuade him and raise him to become a knight of Leo.”

“Hmm… But aren’t we still growing fast enough? “I heard it was a contract job not long ago.”

“That’s right. “As they receive appropriate support, their abilities are blooming.”

“Then shouldn’t we say that the guys I’m with now are not normal?”

“It’s true.”

“Then it will be difficult to get it out, right? If it were Generation Zero, it would have been enough to receive an oracle and select him as the last person, but now there is no justification for that.”

Cadenza’s expression hardened.

“Have you hit the nail on the head?”

“God will definitely use him in the right place.”

Oridon looked around, listening to Cadenza’s words in one ear.

Sieg van Hollybitch survived the curse of Sadimus and the terrifying being.

It was definitely an interesting entity.

“Okay then, from now on, I, Orridon of Scorpio, will help you there as well. Cadenza of Libra, isn’t it nice to have a friend’s friendship?”

“I refuse.”

“I refuse no.”

Cadenza sighed again.

“Why did Seonghwangcheong send you here?”

“Hahaha, I take that to mean I’m happy.”

Zeke’s wake-up time was close to 8 am.

There was no time to wake up earlier and get ready. While learning swordsmanship and magic from Skatul, it was often past 3 am. After briefly washing and getting ready

, I arrive at the store

around 8:30 and clean up.

I spent the morning shivering, and around 10 or 11 o’clock, Deus came out, whimpering.

Of course, he had no work to do. After teasing people by finding fault with trivial things, he immediately went outside to drink tea.

Meanwhile, during lunchtime, Zeke ate rice balls and went straight to Sadimus’ magic class.

“It is an order to teach with a focus on impactful magic… Today is Dark

Nova. It’s a magic that causes darkness to explode and throw blade-like fragments.

“Yes old!”

“It would be right to teach you step by step from the basics of dark magic. “It would take at least a year just to learn the addition, subtraction, Songsan, and Jesan.”

“Can you learn something difficult without learning the basics?”

“If it’s true that your pureblood level is over 10%, you can learn it. If you think about it, pureblood is the level of combat skills passed down in the blood of a warrior

. “It means that 10 percent of all the combat skills learned by the first warrior remain in your blood.”

“If it’s 10 percent, it’s subtle.”

“The one who defeated the Demon King was subtle, gaining 10% of the countless combat skills he had accumulated over a lifetime without any effort?”

“ah!”

“The reason the final man is special is because he fought the devil. A warrior naturally grows faster next to the Demon King. “Because the wall is high,

it takes a greater effort to jump over it.”

“That’s it.”

“It is said that only when your pureblood level exceeds 10% can you obtain all the combat skills of a warrior. If you’re at 9%, you’ll miss one or two things, and in most cases, that’s the beginning of the warrior’s final enlightenment. “It is common sense in the warrior world that no matter how hard a warrior with a pure blood percentage of 9% tries, he or she cannot reach the level of a warrior with a 10% blood percentage.”

Sadimus added his words to Zeke, who was looking at him blankly.

“You inherited such a great legacy.”

“Haha, something must have gone wrong.”

“Maybe so. Until now, there has never been a double-digit pureblood rate in a 4th generation other than the zero generation. “Not once in 666 centuries.”

“Yes?”

“Anyway, you can learn. First, make a mana ring.”

“Four.”

While Zeke was forced to march for 18 hours a day, Demon King Deus

was putting into practice the definition of loafing around.

“I’m getting sick of just looking at that face.”

“Even if you say that, aren’t you already in a situation where you have to drink tea with me?”

Deus snorted at Yulgeum’s words.

But it wasn’t necessarily wrong.

Before I knew it, it felt so natural that I naturally went to sing Yulgeum around this time.

Maybe it was because I didn’t have anyone I could hang out with.

Wearing the mask of being human, we could only have superficial conversations.

Currently, Yulgeum was the only person with whom he could talk with the devil’s face.

“Are you bored again?”

Yul Geum asked, looking at Deus with a bored expression.

“is it?”

“It’s that kind of face. “I’m bored. Please play with me, master.”

“What is it master? Anyway, it’s true that there’s nothing to do.” “

Has there been no progress

since your last visit to the demon world ?”

“huh. “I can’t find Alex because he covered his tracks and hid.”

“If a demon as strong as the Seven Dukes hides his traces, is there nothing the demon lord can do?”

“That goes for you too, right? “Your subordinates even created a kingdom.”

“You’re digging someone else’s wounds again. You are so aggressive. “You all know that you’re strong even if you don’t do that, right?”

“Then will the Demon King be gentle? “How can I feel better if I break something and explode it?”

“Yes, but.”

“You should not cross the river and be rude, but give a good opinion. Alex and Roche went diving, right? “Isn’t this a world crisis?”

“is it?”

“You never know what they might do. Just like you kids did before by releasing poison and creating crazy dragons.”

“It’s a more fundamental question… What should the demons do when the demon king is absent?”

“What are you talking about?”

“There will be war in 20 years.

The demon world must attack the human world on a large scale. But what if there is no devil? “Who will deal with the hero?”

“What do you know?”

“I’m not specifically criticizing you, I’m just speaking in general terms.”

“If there were no demon lord, they wouldn’t invade the human world. The demon world does everything it can to raise the demon lord. There is an energy source called Mayounggi, and it takes 80 years to create it. “It’s similar to your Dragon Heart.”

“So, in this century, there will be no attacks from the demon world to the human world?”

“I guess so? As long as I stay like this.”

“Couldn’t the demons be anxious about that fact?”

“So you pretend to be dead and make something up?”

“If beings the size of the Seven Dukes do something incomprehensible, wouldn’t they have a greater motivation?”

“Hmm…

“Then the conclusion is there.”

” conclusion?”

“How to bring back Alex and Darroche.”

“How… Ah!”

“If you say you will go back and do the devil’s work, you will walk out of the grave on your own, right?”

Deus silently brought the teacup to his mouth.

“Are you saying it’s a flat land storm?”

“huh. “That’s it.”

“Should I give up Ma Young-ki? “Take someone else and make them the devil.”

“Can you bear it?”

“What?”

“Except for Ma Young-gi, that side is nothing. “He’s probably stronger than an average human, but he’s much weaker than the Seven Dukes, right?”

“know. “I don’t know how good I am.”

“You’re giving it up?”

“I just tried it.”

“If you’re really going to give up…

“Ramen?”

“No, let’s quit. “Because it’s a meaningless assumption.”

“A meaningless assumption? That’s it!” Deus blushed.

“Why do I like you so much all of a sudden?

“That’s a good idea. Damn girl, this is my first time helping.”

“The first time is too much. “I think I’ve been of some help with various things.”

“Don’t be too obsessed with things from long ago.”

“So what are you going to do?”

“I will return to the Demon King.”

” huh’?”

“If you pretend to be like that, it will pop out.”

“Well, it will be like that in 20 years. “If you lead the demonic army and invade the earth.”

“Oh, does it take that long?”

“Once you have already started to doubt something, it takes several times more effort to change your mind.”

“It seemed like a good idea.”

“Even if that’s not the case, seriously think about going back.”

“Are you saying that my presence here itself will destroy order?”

« o » “O’.

“You sound like you know.”

” what?”

“Why does the devil exist?”

Yulgeum closed his mouth.

I stared at

Deus’ face for a long time .

And then she opens her mouth again.

“You know, you.”

“why?”

“Are you asking me the reason for your existence?”

“Is that so?”

“I know that kind of disease.”

” party?”

“huh. It is a disease that affects children around the age of 14. Suddenly questioning the meaning of existence, frustrated by the absurdity of the world, angry at absolute authority, and trying to destroy it… Now that I think about it

, that’s exactly it.”

“no it’s not?”

“It was our Deus-san’s time of rebellion.”

“Oh, you damn woman. “If you were a man, I would hit you.”

“Are you capable? “You and I both have mediocre fighting skills, right?”

“shut up!”

The conversation returned to a parallel line again and circled around.

And on this day, the news of Crater Ifrit’s death spread widely throughout the demon world. Deus

was leaning

on the golden throne in front of the store .

A woman in a black suit stood in front of him.

She is a shantrina, covering her face with a hat decorated with a net.

She was the queen of demons and prostitutes.

“Are you not going?”

Deus yawned long at her question.

“I drank late last night and I have a bad hangover.”

“My lord. “I think the reason you are here in the human world is because you have a goal.”

“There is nothing like that. “I just left the demon world because I had no intention of becoming a demon lord.”

“I don’t believe it.”

“It’s your freedom to have faith, but I hope you don’t ask for anything in return for your faith.”

“This is the third time. “Three Dukes of Demon have already been killed mysteriously.”

“Wasn’t it you who killed Alex?”

“Me?”

“huh.” “Why

do you have such absurd suspicions ?

“It is true that I was investigating him, but I don’t think the Seven Dukes will kill each other.”

“Then why did you do the investigation?”

“Since Lord Daroche died mysteriously, I just checked on Lord Alex, who was closest.”

“Write it down in advance. “That is the definition of doubt.”

“It seems that you have been in the human world for too long. We demons do not trust each other. Faith is one of the most false illusions. “We just use each other when it’s

worthwhile .”

” know.”

“Then why do you speak as if you are blaming me?”

“I’m not blaming you. “I just said it was my opinion.”

“Aren’t you angry because you think I killed Lord Alex?”

“Do I look like I’m angry?”

“Otherwise, why aren’t you attending the crater’s funeral?”

“I told you. “It’s because of a hangover.”

“My lord. “I’m disappointed.”

“I have high expectations and am disappointed. How should I react?”

“The Seven Dukes are the greatest demons who have made great achievements in the demon world.”

“If you have something to say, say it clearly. Do I have to attend there? “Do you follow your orders?”

“How dare you give orders…

“Get out. Don’t make me angry.”

“Master…

Shantrina looked at Deus’ face for a moment longer, then bowed and left.

Deus sat leaning on the armrest of the throne.

I didn’t want to jump into it and play a puppet when it wasn’t clear whether it was a friend or an enemy.

The only guy who would remain calm even after being treated like such a fool would be Zeke.
