Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 140

32. Farewell to an era (3)

I kept my mouth tightly shut.

His heart was full of worries about Signy, but he sublimated his worries into strength.

It was a dead body once.

Since he was revived by Signi’s sacrifice, he could no longer be defeated.

Thanks to Zeke’s strong hold in the center, the human army also gained momentum.

The cavalry raised its long spears in front and charged with all its might. When the Minotaur army in charge of the right wing was destroyed, a hole opened in the front line.

Throwing away their spears that were broken in the clash, the knights drew their swords and slaughtered the enemies around them.

Slave spearmen jumped into the gap.

There was not a single person who hesitated.

The hypnotized soldiers named Victory advanced into the Naga unit carrying four long swords.

The wedge created an increasingly larger gap.

When a party of A-class warriors, followed by heavy armored infantry, invaded the rear, the Demon World Legion was shattered into several small squares.

Just then, a group of troops appeared from the mountain ridge on the left wing.

As soon as they appeared, they poured tremendous magic into the demonic army.

El Salum’s fairy Atisha, who was helping the knights with recovery magic, cheered.

“You’ve finally arrived!”

Those who appeared on the battlefield were none other than the army of the fairies, the owners of Horsetail Woods.

After a battle with the demon army of the northern mountain range, they won and quickly dispatched quick-moving magic warriors to help the humans of the southern mountain range.

Now that the human army has already become stronger, the fairy army has also appeared.

The demons of the demon world were greatly agitated and cowered.

The Demon King glared at the fairy army gathered at the mountain ridge.

I tried to subdue them with the evil eye, but Zeke wasn’t the type to just watch.

He jumped onto the Demon King’s lap and clung to his chest.

Zeke quickly climbed onto his shoulder like a squirrel and swung his sword at the devil’s eye.

At that moment, my eyes met with the Demon King.

An ordinary human being would be so frightened the moment they made eye contact with the Demon King that they could do nothing.

But the moment Zeke saw his problem, his courage surged.

You cannot give in to evil!

“No matter how powerful evil is, humans can eventually overcome it! Because God is greater!”

Zeke looked back into the demon king’s eyes, with blue blood pouring out like tears, and threw himself back.

After somersaulting and landing on the ground, he relied on his shield again and rushed into the arms of the Demon King.

But the Demon King no longer fought back.

I looked up and thought it was strange.

It froze and stopped.

Zeke swung his sword and cut off the Demon King’s leg.

I didn’t feel anything, as if I had cut an illusion.

No, it was an illusion itself.

The armor and gauntlet cloak the Demon King was wearing fell to the ground.

The black muscles and blue flames that made up his figure became a thin whirlwind and began to be sucked into the sky.

The Demon King, whose strength had already been depleted, lost his life to Zeke’s final blow.

The Demon King is dead.

It was difficult for Zeke to accept that fact. Why did he suddenly die?

However, the reality that the Demon King was dead appeared before our eyes.

The demonic army began to scream and run away.

They retreated toward the entrance to the demon world that they had drilled into Mount Agaiatta.

The armies of humans and fairies chased after the fleeing enemy.

They decapitated people and pierced their spines with spears until the moment the demons completely disappeared from this land

.

Loud shouts filled the battlefield.

For a moment, Zeke didn’t understand why they were shouting.

At that time, Ori Don came to Zeke’s side and grabbed his hand and lifted it up.

The cheers grew several times louder.

Hundreds of warriors rushed to approach Zeke.

They shook hands and offered compliments.

But Zeke didn’t hear their greeting.

It was as if he had ascended from a B-level hero from a provincial family to the last hero who saved humanity, but it didn’t feel real yet.

But now, SIGNI was first. Zeke looked around to avoid everyone.

Deus was nowhere to be seen. Not only Deus but also some of his colleagues were missing.

“Mr. Oridon and Mr. Cadenza. “Have you not seen Deus?”

Cadenza’s expression hardened at Zeke’s question.

“Zeke, we’ll talk about him later.”

“We can’t do it later. Deus is the only one who can save Signi’s life.”

Cadenza sighed briefly and nodded.

“ah! That’s… I’ve heard that story, but… Zeke, he’s no longer in this world.”

“no way! Are you saying that Deus was killed by demons? That can’t be possible! “How strong is he?”

Cadenza looked around.

The story I am about to tell was passed down secretly through an oracle, so

it was not easy to talk about it carelessly.

He raised his voice.

“Lord Redditch! “Please take care of the situation.”

Redditch van Holycomilier was a paladin of the Virgo constellation.

The weapon was, unusually, a crossbow with a shield attached and was named Shingung Spica.

Because she was short and had long hair, she was often mistaken for a woman, but she had a hot personality.

“I understand.”

The Zodiac Knights

knew that Cadenza and Oridon were given special oracles.

It wasn’t all the details, but I was aware that it was related to Zeke.

“Zeek, let’s move for a moment. “There is a great secret you must hear.”

“But my sister…

“Mr. Yulgeum will be taking care of her. “He is the best wizard I know.”

“No, I’ll follow along and listen.”

Yulgeum joined the conversation while holding the young Signi’s body.

The joy of defeating the devil was something that had absolutely nothing to do with them.

Yulgeum was thirsty for the truth, and Zeke wanted to save his sister.

There was a strangely withered tree on a low hill not far from the main camp.

Perhaps he was influenced by the power of the Demon King.

The tree stood in the middle of a wide forest, in the middle of the dry land as if the devil’s breath had touched it

.

The scenery seen there was a festival of joy.

The Demon King disappeared and the legions of the Demon World were defeated.

The devil appeared after 80 years, breaking the 100-year cycle that had been kept as a promise for hundreds of centuries.

It was a legion of warriors who received an oracle that stopped them as they occupied Horsetail Woods and prepared to invade the human world.

And the name of the last one of this century, The Ender, is Sieg van Holwitsch.

Those who survived chanted Zeke’s name.

He felt proud of what he had accomplished and celebrated his victory.

A huge fire was lit in the center of the group.

Sacrifices were burned to be offered to the gods.

According to long-standing tradition, the sacrifices were sheep and wheat.

The fattest sheep and the wheat full of grain were placed on the altar.

It seemed like the prayer was reaching the sky. Smoke rose straight into the sky.

Kadencha clenched his fists as he looked down at the scene of the festival.

“This moment will not be the end, but the beginning.”

Oridon tapped him on the shoulder.

Cadenza, the head of Ascaron, a secret organization within the Holy Emperor, seemed to have difficulty controlling his boiling emotions.

On the other hand, Zeke, who had achieved all of this, was holding Signy’s hand with both hands and placing it on his forehead while praying.

May God have mercy and bring this little boy back to life.

I prayed and prayed that God would breathe life into my heart, which was still beating weakly.

“He’s a really good kid.”

Yulgeum nodded and responded to Zeke’s words.

“Yes, I know.”

“One day… it was a really cold day. The day I was sick and couldn’t go to work at the hotel. At that time, when I was so feverish that I couldn’t even wake up… Signi went to work in my place. Later I asked him why he did that. “He said it wasn’t because of money, but because he

was worried that I would lose faith.”

“It’s deep inside.”

“really. “At one point, she acted like my older sister even though she was four years younger than me.”

Zeke held Signy’s hand tighter.

I didn’t feel like I was dying. Rather, he had a more comfortable smile on his face than ever before.

As if you were asleep.

At the beginning of the long winter evening.

Like a young cat sleeping while basking in the fire in the fireplace.

“I won’t let you die. That

can’t be possible. Deus-sama… He said Deus-sama could save him.”

Yulgeum sighed briefly.

“Zeke, that’s…

“It’s impossible now.”

Cadenza came to Zeke’s side and said.

“Mr. Cadenza, what on earth is a trust? Why are you here? The Demon King… and why is SIGNI gone!”

“The Archangel has descended.”

“An archangel?”

“Michael, the victorious monarch and master of the flaming sword Flambe, has descended before His Holiness.”

It was common knowledge that there was a God and that angels were His servants, protecting the human world.

But there weren’t many things that could make you feel it.

How much more is it the descent of an angel.

“The victorious monarch!”

“He who appears only in the face of the final war and declares humanity’s victory, predicted today’s war. By the Lord’s will, we

have come here, and you, Zeke, have clearly fulfilled your role as a terminator.”

“It’s thanks to everyone working together.”

“no. “Zeek, you are the one who ended today’s war.”

Zeke did not specifically deny it. Humility sometimes seems more frivolous than pride.

“And Miss Signy was appointed a saint by the Victorious Lord himself.”

“A girl who is only 10 years old?”

“Because it has the highest level of pure blood.” The hero’s abilities

did not completely match his pureblood status.

However, his potential as a warrior could not be discussed without mentioning the pureblood path.

Zeke sighed for a long time. Tears welled up and flowed down my cheeks.

Since he was born into a family of warriors, it was his natural fate to lose his life in the final war.

Signi lived only 10 years after birth, but she was dying as a saint.

It is a fate that we have no choice but to comply with. But I didn’t want to do that.

Scatul’s words

stuck in my mind like a demon’s whisper.

—If it is Deus….

“Where is Deus now?”

Zeke asked, looking at the cadenza.

“He is already dead.”

“Is that true? “He is stronger than me.”

“no. He is weaker than you.”

“Mr. Cadenza, I know you hate him. But if he is really dead… please do not insult him, my benefactor.”

“No, he deserves to be insulted. And the person who killed him was none other than you, Zeke.”

Zeke frowned.

“Mr. Cadenza.”

“Zeke. The demon king you killed is Deus. His real name is…

Just then, there was someone who interrupted the cadenza.

“Who kills whom? “You’re just making a fuss as soon as it comes out that there is no party involved.”

Deus fell from a high place and hit the ground with a thud.
