Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 190

43. Decide on war. (4)

Lexia unconsciously listened to the solemn yet kind voice.

— Come here.

I looked around as I heard a voice that was like an auditory hallucination.

Where does this sound come from?

It might have been the sound of a ghost possessing a person, but Lexia couldn’t help but follow the sound.

Even after going down the stairs, the calling sound did not stop.

The sound came from outside.

It opened the door to sponsorship.

It had clearly been quite some time since the morning sun rose, but the backyard was dark.

When I looked up and saw the sun, I saw that it was eating the sun.

I felt a chill in my body.

I adjusted the gown I was wearing and walked deep into the back garden.

The trees growing arbitrarily felt like the walls of a labyrinth.

At the end of the road, a tree was burning.

No, it was not accurate to say that he was riding.

Although the flames were overflowing, the branches were still with vivid light green buds.

—It’s Lexia.

“Who are you?”

-I am the Lord of Victory and the owner of the flaming sword Flambe.

Lexia was startled by his words and fell to her knees.

“Archangel Michael.”

—Why are you so depressed here

?

“I lost the will to live. “Everything I aimed for just feels futile”

—Is it because of Zeke?

“You don’t know anything.”

-In that case, just move forward. Now he is about to fall into an unfathomable abyss.

Lexia looked at the flame in surprise.

“What do you mean by that?”

—If he truly sides with the devil, humanity will ultimately be destroyed.

“That can’t be possible. “Zeek… was an upright kid.”

-Your faith will save him.

“Are you saying you’re going to save Zeke?”

—Go ahead. You shouldn’t stay here.

Flames overtook me. Startled, Lexia wrung her hands.

And then I woke up.

Lexia woke up from her bed, recalling a dream that had been so vivid.

At that time, a maid came into the room.

“miss! Something big happened.”

“What are you making a fuss about?”

“A guest from Seonghwangcheong has arrived! “I heard there is something I must deliver to you.”

“

It was a pure white wand. They said… that the staff was the rod of destruction.”

Early in the morning, on the terrace overlooking the palace’s back garden, Regin gazed into the distance.

The Joseon continent had little seasonal change.

The difference between winter and summer was about the difference of one single layer of outerwear.

Still, it was quite chilly at dawn this season.

The heat radiating from my naked upper body met the early morning air and turned into steam.

The body was covered in wounds.

Although he was only fifteen, the level of expertise he achieved was beyond what any D-class warrior could handle.

The teachers, Cadenza and Oridon, were strict. I was worried that he would go down the wrong path like Zeke, so

I treated Regin much more strictly.

A pure white hand passed by Regin’s side and traced his chest.

” Woke up?”

A naked woman hugged him from behind.

“O” Hmm.

Despite her gentle embrace, Regin just stared ahead.

“Isn’t this a scratch from the dragon’s claws? Was it Sehiroa?”

“It was Hong Ok-yong. “It was a dragon that got sick and went crazy.”

“I burned two cities and

met Regin. “That was his end.”

“I can’t kill you until I’m defeated by something like a dragon.”

“…I have to go, right?”

Regin did not answer the question.

It wasn’t because I was picky. It was so obvious that I didn’t feel it was worth answering.

I have lived for this day.

To save my sister Signy

from Zeke’s hands .

“I heard you met an angel?”

“Scatiel.”

“His blessing will rest on you, right?”

Regin clenched his hand on the railing.

“I will seize the power with my own hands. No matter how strong Zeke has become…

“It’s scary.”

Regin turned his head and looked at Queen April.

It was scary eyes. With his eyes filled with madness, Regin took April away from her and pushed her away.

Regin shouted, looking down at the Queen who had fallen to the floor.

“I don’t know what fear is! A hero is that kind of being. “I’m afraid of Zeke when

I don’t even fear the Demon Lord?” April crawled across the floor, hugged Zeke’s knee, and begged.

“sorry. I, a lowly person, dared to say something rude to you. Please spit on me. “Please flog me.” Regin looked down at his lover with disdain.

I didn’t know that maybe it was just a role play that fit well.

Queen April and the warrior Regin, both of whom lost their minds when they were young.

Stability was sought by being trampled and by being trampled. I liked that kind of relationship,

so we became lovers.

Regin’s eyes turned red.

I suddenly burst into tears.

I hugged April who was pleading at my feet. He placed her inside his wide chest and locked it with his strong arms.

April said as she hugged him.

“You have to come back alive.”

“A warrior dies in the final battle.”

“This is not the final war. You are not the last hero. So…

“I’ll get Signi. please.”

“huh. “You can do it.”

“I’ll be back.”

“I will wait. “Forever.”

“I can’t believe the queen is alone waiting for someone who won’t come back. That’s not allowed. “I have to give birth to a child who will inherit the throne.”

April smiled in his arms.

“If it’s a child, I already have one.”

Regin looked at her again with a surprised face.

“But this child… may carry on Hollybitch’s last name.”

I couldn’t hide my bewildered expression. On the other hand, I was also afraid.

You made the queen pregnant.

Not even her husband, but herself.

“I will definitely come back alive.”

Queen April rested her forehead against Regin’s chest.

“When you come back, you will become the king of Verde.”

“huh. As Gukseo, I will protect you. Actually… I’m a coward. But now…”

“Hero, protect this world.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Regin’s lips gently touched her forehead.

Even at this time when humans were busy, Deus was just relaxed.

“There is land again beyond the horizon. Adventurers, why do you stay here!”

“What kind of imitation is that again?”

“Pioneer.”

“If you have time, dig a hole here.”

” how much?”

“About 50 meters. It looks like there was a landslide here .

“Samples of indicators are meaningless.”

Following Yulgeum’s words, Deus stamped a coin into the ground.

The shock wave created a hole tens of meters deep in the ground.

Yulgeum inserted an inspection machine hung on a long string into the hole, which was big enough to fit a fist.

Yulgeum retrieved the machine again and wrote down the numbers on paper.

“how is it?”

“are you okay. To be honest, it’s enough for people to live in.”

“Then this plain is also my land.”

“Do you know how far this place is from the Demon World?”

“About 10,000 kilometers?”

“that’s right. “What would you use such a long distance away for?”

“Sell it to humans. “Even if I only get one coin per meter squared, I can make enough money to live on for several generations.”

“Hey, I don’t have much left to say about your endless and stupid creativity.”

The world was still full of mugwort monsters.

It is said that animals living in the past increased their body size to resist the poison of mugwort.

When a huge crocodile over 15 meters long passed by, I thought it might be some kind of dragon.

“Yulgeum.”

“What’s going on? “Call everyone’s name.”

“I wanted to ask you seriously.”

“What?”

“Really… is it okay to live here now?”

“huh. I think it will work. If you live in a room like this… no, if it’s the shame of mugwort…

“You can use words that are familiar to you.”

“It varies depending on the region. In this area, the topsoil has even been covered by landslides, so the radiation dose on the ground surface is particularly low. “This level is similar to natural radiation.”

“You mean I can live?”

“that’s right.”

Deus’ expression slowly hardened.

“Why are you suddenly holding on to the weight?”

“…Now the era of chaos will end.”

“Suddenly…

“Don’t act like you don’t know. Rather, you

should know better.”

Deus looked around.

The mountains rising like swords in the distance wore white hats.

Water from melted snow flowed for hundreds of kilometers, creating a wide wetland here.

Animals were abundant and nature was abundant.

Even the continent of Jose was barren compared to this place.

Since the end of the Golden Age, the Silver Age of the 20th century and the 666 century of chaos have passed.

Approximately 700 centuries seem to have passed, as there seems to have been

some dark times between each era .

70,000 years.

Nature, untouched by human hands, has been completely restored to its original state.

It is incomparable to the Joseon continent, where most of the nutrients in the topsoil have been lost due to continued cultivation by humans.

“This world is twisted.”

“Are you talking about that again?”

“I think I understand now. Where did it get twisted? “Humans are overprotected.”

Yulgeum’s expression hardened at the words “overprotection.”

“That’s the correct answer.”

“What are you talking about?”

“The masters of the world are humans, right?”

“It is true that I am favored by God.”

“No, it’s not something that can be glossed over with just one word, ‘favorite.’ “On the contrary, this world exists for humans.”

“God is also God to you demons.”

“I guess so. Because we too are his creatures. To be exact, they are mutations created by humans in the laboratory during the Silver Age,

but in the sense that all things are born only under the breath of God, we are also God’s creatures.”

The vision that Baekho, one of the Four Four Gods, gave a glimpse of was about the identity of the demons.

It was the same with dragons.

All of them are synthetic numbers born with a special purpose.

The dragon was given special strength to hunt Adapa, the ancestor of the giants. Demons

were chimeras synthesized by

humans for their own purposes, and the Four Gods of Death were special synthetic beasts created by God to destroy mankind.

“The one who destroyed the Age of Gold… was you, Yulgeum?”

“Why did I do that…

“It probably wasn’t your will. You were the leader of the angels, and only a powerful angel like you could control humanity, which had begun to challenge even God. You may not have been alone, but you were probably in charge. So, you must have become Jin Geum-yong.”

Deus

continued speaking while looking at Yulgeum’s closed mouth.

“It must have been Lucifer, the black-winged angel, who destroyed the Silver Age. It’s the same situation as when the golden age ended. Human indulgence went too far, and humans began to wield the power to the point of self-destruction. “In the Golden Age, it was the Wormwood Star, but in the Silver Age, it was a power magic given by God.”

Deus summoned demonic energy into his palm. It was made into a small bead and spun around to create a vortex.

“If you think about it, this power is magic. Whether the color is black, white, blue or yellow, magic is magic. Lucifer used the demon beasts to destroy humans and became the god of the demon beasts. “That is the demon world and the demons.”

“That’s what you were thinking when you were running around the field, wandering around like a fool.”

“It’s true that I was confused. I’m happy to learn new things.”
