Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 70

——-

16. A hero grows up (5)

“Zeke.”

“Yes, Master Cannadine.”

“You did well today. Go back and see. As I said before, the kingdom’s army is currently operating secretly here.”

“I know.”

Zeke glanced at Cadenza.

Cadenza laughs. His expression seemed to be teasing, saying, ‘Am I right?’

“Good luck to everyone.”

Zeke bowed his head and turned around.

The ground outside the sewer was already dark.

I clenched my fists.

I promised myself that I would never pass on this kind of treatment to my younger siblings, and walked towards Deus’ store.

The store opened late at night.

There are about three hours left until midnight.

As if even that short time wasn’t worth it, Zeke lit the charcoal and

put on a skewer of green onion chicken.

“You’re here.”

“yes.”

“Why are you so swollen?”

“I got hit a bit too much.”

“Is that so?”

“yes.”

Zeke fanned the charcoal and glanced at Deus.

“But I think I’ve gotten a little stronger.”

“what’?”

“I mean that. “It’s thanks to Deus for finding a swordsmanship teacher.”

“You mean Skathul?”

“yes. “You are an excellent swordsman.”

“I’m glad you found something worth learning.”

“I am always grateful.”

“Don’t like me too much. “You will regret it later.”

“That won’t happen.”

“Is that so?”

“sure.”

At that time, an old woman came to the front of the store, holding a cane.

“Zeke…what happened to my son…Jace?”

There was a piece of paper in the old woman’s hand

.

A government seal was seen in the corner. It meant that it was a document issued by the government.

“This has arrived. Jace is dead…

Zeke’s head dropped weakly.

” sorry.”

“Why… is Jace still dead even though you went? “Aren’t you a warrior?”

“It’s because I don’t have enough strength.”

The old woman shouted with bloodshot eyes.

“This is why third-rate heroes are useless!”

” sorry.”

The old woman turned around. It must have been difficult to bear it without blaming someone.

Zeke lowered his head and quietly turned over the skewer.

Oil dripped onto the charcoal and smoke rose.

After the old woman left, Deus blurted out.

“When it’s ready, give me a skewer.”

“I need to cook it a little more. “Would you like some dry snacks?”

“It’s good.”

Zeke

served three tin glasses of foamy barley wine.

Deus grabbed the cup and summoned magical power. White fog formed on the surface.

“Is it that good when you drink it cold?”

“Barley wine must always be drunk. “Would you like to have a drink?”

“What are you saying? “I’m fourteen now.”

“Already fourteen. “You’ll be an adult next year.”

“Yeah, but…

“Zeke.”

“yes’?”

“Why are you a hero?”

“Why? “I am Holly Bitch.”

“I heard that the castle could be abandoned.” Both of them still remembered the old woman’s resentful eyes from a little while ago.

“I’m ignored because I’m grade F. Even though I achieved some results, I was suspected. You get jealous and even hate. “I don’t make a lot of money, and I don’t have any honor or glory.”

Zeke silently grilled the skewers, brushed off the oil, flipped them over, and spread the sauce on them.

“What do you want to do?”

“A hero.”

“Because it’s the family’s dream?”

“I… I want to help anyone who is having a hard time. If someone is sick, I want to treat them. Isn’t it obvious? That’s what people are. “I want to get better at that.”

“Does that mean you are a hero?”

“I think so.”

Zeke placed a plate of well-grilled green onion chicken skewers in front of Deus.

The beautifully burnt green onions soaked in chicken fat whetted my appetite.

“Zeke.”

“yes.”

“One day, when you become incredibly strong,

let’s fight me.”

“yes? How can I talk about Deus-sama and…

“Understood?”

“Ah yes.”

“I’ll take care of it, don’t worry. “I won’t kill you.”

“of course!”

I might die though.

Deus never said these words.

The devil is always killed by a hero. The record

has not been broken

for 666 centuries, as if it were a law of the world in itself .

Deus woke up because he felt a presence crawling into his bed.

The opponent is a naked woman.

But I wasn’t surprised.

There are people who make such work⑴ their profession.

Succubus Shantrina.

She was the queen of demons and prostitutes, and the Duke of Lust among the Seven Dukes of the Demon World.

“It’s okay to hug.”

Shantrina whispered.

She

became the world’s first seductress in bed.

There is no one who would not be shaken by that sticky voice.

If there was one, it would be Deus, who got into trouble several times.

“What kind of modification is this?”

“Because you want to feel comforted.”

“at all.”

“Don’t cheat. “My lord’s heart.”

“You’re not deceiving at all, are you? “I don’t know if there has been a time in the past 100 years when people have been treated as honestly as they are now.”

“Shy.”

“Can you please go away?”

“Do you really not need comfort?”

“huh. Not even a little bit.”

“Then I’m glad.”

Shantrina flipped her wrist. Before she knew it, there was a small card in her hand.

“Because I can deliver the funeral invitation with peace of mind.”

Deus’ expression hardened.

What was placed in Shantrina’s hand was a person’s name.

-Kyo Goku Alex

Lord of all Imae and Mangyang.

Deus violently grabbed Shantrina’s wrist. The business card fell out.

“Do you need comfort now?”

Shantrina smiles. Deus sighed briefly as he saw the courtesan’s charming smile.

The seven dukes ruled the demon world, Hille.

They elevated one demon king and served him as the king of all.

Anyone who inherits the blood of the Demon King will inherit the name of Demiurge, no matter what it is or what it is called.

Demon King Demiurge 666 years old.

This name is the official owner of Hille in this century.

The problem was that the demon king refused his karma and ran away.

The names of the seven peacocks who rule over the demon world are taken from the seven vices cursed by God.

Pride, sloth, greed, lust, envy, anger, gluttony.

Already dead Gluttonous Gong (貪食公) Daroshu and Kyo-oku (W微公) Alex were named after their gluttony and arrogance.

Darosh was the king of the human-like beasts and beast-headed races. He himself had the head of a crocodile.

Alex ruled over imae and mangryang, or goblins with strange appearances.

Succubus Shantrina was in charge of all the succubi, incubus monsters, and monsters that sucked up human lust.

Seiton,

the master of devils and demons .

Sagar and the King of Poisonous Insects, Greedy Gong (貪慾公) Osisu.

Jilsigong (族W公), the master of the snake and dragon Naga.

Ifrit, the king of fire and jinn.

These seven monarchs are now gathered in Eidos, the capital of Hille, the demon world.

A round table with 7 chairs.

But before I knew it, two were empty.

Although Darosh’s son has taken over the position of the Gluttonous Duke, he has not yet been qualified to participate in this meeting of the Round Table

.

This was because there was no formal approval from the Demon King.

“In the end, my lord only attended the funeral and left again.”

The king of the Naga tribe, who had the upper body of a beautiful woman and the lower body of a snake, sighed.

“He must have been heartbroken, too.” Seiton, a devil with horns on his forehead, shook his head and said.

“Alex was the master’s nanny. “It will be quite a shock

as he was like a subordinate who was by my side throughout my life and took care of big and small tasks .”

“Are you the kind of person who feels something like that?”

Osis the Greeder stroked his beetle-like nose and opened his mouth.

“If you trusted us, you wouldn’t throw away your duty.”

“Hehe, it looks like Greedy is very dissatisfied with his lord.”

“What about you? Last time when Gluttony died, I was a little excited to hear that he attacked Jin Geumyong to avenge his revenge, but nothing has changed since then, right? There are now 20 years

left until the war. “We have to worry about the survival of the demon world beyond defeat.”

Greedy Lord Shan Trina smiled at the words of Greedy Osis.

“Then, take the Demon King’s throne for yourself. “I think I’ll do well with that endless greed.”

“How dare you! The throne is the seat of a king. “Anyone who is not a descendant of the Demon King’s blood cannot even lift the Demon King’s armor, so who would think so?”

“Men who make jokes with a straight face are the worst.”

“What man would be shocked to hear the worst things about a prostitute?”

As the two’s expressions turned grim, Crater Ifrit intervened.

He was a man like the flame itself, with sparks rising over his lava skin.

“After 60,000 years of fighting, do you still have the feelings to fight? “Just do it in moderation.”

Ifrit was the master of Purgatory—Hile’s largest volcano, Io.

All demons who live in fire and use fire as energy obeyed him. “I

think the 666-year-old has a different power than other demon kings .

Isn’t it enough to guess its power just by looking at how it pushed Jingeum Yong to the brink of death? If we can persuade him and help him use the Demon King’s weapon for 20 years, this time the earth will truly belong to our Demons.”

“The problem is that he himself does not have the will to do so.”

The expressions of the Demon Dukes suddenly darkened at the words of Osis, the Duke of Greed.

At that time, Vaginal Craftsman Bina, the queen of the Nagas, opened her mouth.

“But… who on earth killed Kyo Goku

? There’s a rumor that it was Kyouko Alex who killed Gluttonous Darosh. So, is this what the new glutton did?”

Crater Ifrit shook his head.

“It won’t be possible with his strength. “Kyo-oh-dono Alex was one of the most powerful demons among us.”

“Then who…

“I don’t know. But what is clear is that the greatest opportunity and the worst crisis are approaching us together. “The order that has existed for 666 centuries is about to collapse.”

Greedy Osis looked at everyone and said.

“So who will do the work of persuading the lord?”

Shantrina, the luster, smiled.

“It’s already started.”

“Home…

Osis crossed his arms. He had an expression on his face that seemed to still be remnants of the argument from earlier.

Ifrit spoke to Shantrina on his behalf.

“Then please take charge of that matter for the time being.”

“Zeke.”

“ah! Deus. He said he was visiting his parents’ house for a while because he had some work to do…

“Where did the butler go?”

“He went to the warehouse to take inventory.”

“I don’t want to say this twice, so please follow me.”

” yes.”

The basement warehouse of the store was now filled with a mountain of weapons.

And in the center of those weapons was a set of armor.

The armor, of which you could tell that it was

extraordinary just by looking at it, was none other than Zeke’s equipment.

With the addition of the recently completed upper and lower armor, it looked quite attractive as an ornament.

Skatul was carefully examining the documents and items. Sensing Deus’ popularity, he turned and bowed his head.

“Are you back, master?”

” uh.”

“You don’t have a good complexion.”

“Do you see it?”

“yes.”
