Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 126

29. Breaking prejudice and gaining friends

(3)

Just because I didn’t die didn’t mean I was saved.

A warrior who fell to the ground retching after being hit in the face by a comrade’s organ was torn to pieces by a crocodile’s teeth.

Life passed away in vain.

The corps that began to disintegrate showed no power.

Commander Teryan, riding a white horse, brandished his sword and scolded them. Ordered to maintain the ranks.

But no one listened to him.

It’s over.

Now all that’s left is to pray that the enemy will stop.

I hope you get tired of the massacre and withdraw yourself.

The wizards and archers flying in the sky poured out attacks to save their comrades until the end, but the rate of allies getting injured by stray bullets only increased.

God!

Someone shouted.

Who can deny that these are the most appropriate words to symbolize the fate of Legion Helios?

“God sent us to humans even when humans betrayed God and did not keep their promises!”

It was at that moment that Zeke’s voice echoed throughout the battlefield.

“We are the unbreakable shield of God. Don’t forget to pray at any moment. The Lord will always save mankind!”

Quang!

A tremendous sound shook the earth.

Even if a mountain falls, I will believe it. Even if the earth were split in two, it would not be able to make a sound louder than this.

When they realized that it was the sound of a clash between a human and a monster, it was after they had been saved by the holy light.

“Our name is Hero! God’s representative and man’s protector!” Everyone looked that way.

A boy raised a shield to block Leviathan’s advance. The giant monster

, tens of meters tall, pushing against the ground with its front legs,

could not bite the boy’s brilliantly golden shield even an inch.

The boy’s other hand rose high behind his back.

A brilliant golden sword pierced the crocodile’s snout.

The Holy Cross rose from the tip of Leviathan’s mouth.

The front teeth erupted as if exploding. Teeth scattered in all directions dug into the ground.

It was just one blow.

He blocked it with his shield and stabbed it with his sword.

It wasn’t even enough to defeat Leviathan. If you think about it, it only made a small scratch on the end of its snout and broke a few teeth.

However, it could not be disparaged as barely possible.

That alone clearly changed something.

“Wow!”

The survivors of Legion Helios shouted as if they were screaming.

The message contained in their cries was simple.

can do!

We can defeat that monster too.

Zeke advanced.

The monster waved its snout and moved forward slowly, using its shield to block the enormous attacks.

At times, I could only wiggle my toes and advance about half an inch.

Still, he went on.

The swordsmen and spearmen who were running away turned around.

The warriors who were in despair grabbed their shields again.

The wizards and archers gave up their sense of defeat. Even a small gap was fine, so I

opened my hawk’s eyes to strike the enemy.

While the healer was tending to his wounded comrade, the living jumped on Leviathan’s body and poured out attacks.

Deus crossed his arms and clenched his fists.

My hands felt sweaty.

It’s thrilling.

As expected, Zeke’s battle was the best.

I turned my eyes away from the enemy for a moment and approached the guy on the white horse.

Terjan von Helios was staring at Zeke and his surroundings with blank eyes.

Just a moment ago, he was scolding the soldiers at the top of his voice.

But the moment everything seemed to be of no use, he let down his sword.

I felt like my body was being eaten by fear, so I gritted my teeth and held on. It seemed like that monster would annihilate Legion Helios at any moment and rush towards him.

Then Zeke appeared. And the situation changed.

“The loser of northern Jogelon.”

Deus raised his hand and spoke as if in greeting.

Teriyan angrily turned his head, but dropped his eyes.

“How does it feel to be saved by a B-class hero?”

“Who the hell is he?”

“You mean Zeke?”

Teriyan nodded.

“Who is it? Zeke van Holwitsch. “A warrior from an F-rank family for many years in Zorik’s castle.”

“How did he obtain such great power? That’s impossible! Even if I spend a lot of money to wear high-end equipment

… my armor is also made with dragon scales!”

The chest of Teriyan’s silver-white breastplate had white mosaic pieces. It appeared to be the scales of a white dragon.

“Do I need to explain why there is such a difference in skill even though the equipment is similar?”

“It’s impossible! I learned swordsmanship and tactics as soon as I was a toddler. From the best prosecutors and strategists.”

“It looks like you’ve been fed up with private education.”

“It was always the best. Even among pureblood warriors, there were few who were stronger than me

. “When I attended Poms Hero School, I was always first in both swordsmanship and tactics classes!”

“Yes, it’s at the student level. “Even if you graduated from college, you’re just a student. Don’t you think that just because you ranked first there makes you the best in the world?”

“I’m talking about possibility!”

“Possibility?”

“My potential has been shining since my school days.”

“Well, your ability to solve school tests must have been excellent. So, I would have graduated first place. But the world

is not a school? When it comes to how to deal with that monster called Leviathan, you fail. “If you can’t admit that, you’ll be like that for the rest of your life.”

Deus twisted the corners of his mouth into a sneer and returned to Yulgeum.

“Then, shall we try to support Zeke? “That guy isn’t the enemy to beat on his own, right?”

Yulgeum nodded.

“I’m glad you know. “Then, shall we try casting some magic?”

Leviathan disappeared.

Through phase shifting, I temporarily went to another dimension.

A huge amount of blood was left around Zeke.

It was the blood of a monster.

The warriors huddled around their shields and waited for the enemy.

The warrior and the rest of the troops rested for a while within the warrior’s protection.

The enemy will appear soon.

Zeke could tell. That it hasn’t left yet.

At that time, the light

enveloped me in an ecstatic and gentle way. It was magical power. This familiar magic may be Yulgeum’s work.

He looked towards Yulgeum and bowed his head.

The fatigue in my body disappeared and all the wounds sustained in battle were healed.

All of my physical abilities were activated, and I felt more powerful than before the fight.

Zeke stood upright and shouted to everyone.

“I guess the reason God sent us here today is because he wants us to win

. His will is right in front of you. Have hope. “Hope is not a vain mirage of a daydream, but placed before your eyes in an easy-to-grasp vessel!”

At that moment, Leviathan’s wide open mouth shot up from the ground and swallowed Zeke.

However, the monster’s attack was only an attempt.

“Don’t touch what’s mine, you monster!”

Deus kicked Leviathan in the jaw. The monster with its neck broken

fell to the ground, kicking up dust.

“Lord Deus!”

“Wake!”

“four!”

Zeke ran towards the fallen Leviathan with his shield in front of him.

As the shoes gave off a green light, the sprint accelerated.

The shield hit the side of the huge body directly.

Leviathan screamed as his body shook from another impact.

Legion Helius warriors also bombarded the monster in unison.

Les Viatans began to be pushed back by the relentless attacks of hundreds of people.

The monster trembled and forced itself to fight back.

He shook his head loudly and hit the ground, creating dust and then attacking the other warriors to avoid Zeke.

But the warriors had already formed a tight scrum, leaning each other’s shields on each other’s shoulders.

Each one of them was only A-level, B-level, or even C-level warriors, and their skills were not that great, but when they joined forces, they

were able to produce as much power as Zeke’s shield containing an aura.

A few people were pushed back by the force, but the warriors stood behind them.

All humans came together as one to stop Leviathan.

It was at that moment that Zeke shouted loudly and raised his sword high.

“It is said that the devil lives in the shadow of the back of the head. “When men unite against their enemies, no demon will be able to break through those walls!”

His sword emitted a huge cross light again.

“Holy Cross!”

Zeke shouted and lowered his sword. Leviathan’s side was split in two, and intestines and blood poured out.

There seemed to be no way for an invincible monster that crossed dimensions to survive with its body split in two.

He trembled several times in pain and eventually put his head on the ground.

After a fierce battle, the monster was subdued, but no one could cheer.

The size of the corps was reduced by half.

Before the joy, the corpses of my colleagues came into view.

A young knight who couldn’t even close his eyes after being caught in the monster’s teeth.

Zeke approached him and closed his eyes.

And I put my hands together and prayed for him.

They simply bowed their heads and recited the usual prayers, but many of the warriors present bowed their heads in solemnity.

A priest muttered.

“Death will always be this close

… It takes endless courage to pick up a sword!”

While the Legion Helios devoted itself to controlling the damage, Deus and Zeke Yulgeum mounted their horses again.

The purpose was to find a charnel house and bury the remains.

Finding the location of the charnel house was not easy as the village was in ruins.

Following the story I had heard, I walked about a kilometer towards the mountain and found graves.

Zeke looked for the requested tombstone.

Fortunately, the marker was found without difficulty and the remains were able to be buried together.

While doing that, Deus just quietly watched Zeke do it.

Zeke knelt in front of the grave and prayed.

Although I had never met him before, I sincerely hoped that he would go to heaven.

“Then shall we go and meet those guys who are talking hell again?”

“Don’t bother me too much.”

“Aren’t you even angry? “After being ridiculed like that.”

“I did it without knowing much. “It’s not wrong to treat a B-class hero as a B-class.”

“Treat people as people, not as grades.”

At Deus’s words, Zeke let out a short exclamation.

Yulgeum answered with a smile.

“For someone like you, you rarely speak sober words.”

“Write it down and memorize it. “It’s the first famous quote in a while.”

“yes. Treat people as people, not as classes. “Those are really good words.”

“If you look at the level, isn’t a hero the savior of mankind? If there had been no heroes in the first place, humans would have been ruined and extinct long ago, right? “The descendants of that warrior should be much higher in rank than the children of insignificant nobles.”

“Heroes are actually treated as nobles.”

“But why are you so ignored?”

“That’s because the family••••••

“is F grade?”

“yes.”

“It’s really hard to know where things are going wrong.”

“Is it twisted?”

“of course.”

Zeke quietly looked down at the grave.
