Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 141

32. Farewell to an era (4)

Cadenza was surprised and pulled out the holy sword Juben Eshamari, creating a blade of light.

Oridon pointed the tip of the holy sword Antares at Deus.

However, Deus ended it with just a glance at the two.

Zeke rushed towards Deus with a face covered in tears.

I fell flat in front of him.

“Lord Deus! Please save SIGNI, SIGNI !

“I heard you can do it!”

Deus grabbed Zeke’s arm and forced him to stand up.

“That’s stupid. “It ends when a person dies.”

“But… But…

“It’s over when you die.”

Deus turned his head to Yulgeum. And then he saw a girl in his arms.

A faint, bluish aura of death began to creep between my eyebrows.

True death is not far away now.

God was cruelly taking the life of this young saint.

Death encroached like the setting sun.

Zeke’s crying grew louder.

He was the last one standing.

In the war against the Demon King, he saved the lives of countless soldiers as an ender.

It was Zeke who protected the human world itself.

The humans below that hill were singing a song about their respect for Zeke. I felt

that any qualifier

was insufficient to praise him.

However, the man who was hanging by Deus’s hand was only a 14-year-old bell boy.

I cried so loudly that I cried so hard that my voice was hoarse.

“God does too much! Why did SIGNI have to sacrifice a 10-year-old girl to become a saint? Deus! Are you sure you can’t save that child? It’s okay if I die instead. I’ve never heard of a warrior who survived the Last War. I’m going to die too. “Signi died because I didn’t die!”

“Stop talking stupid.”

“Lord Deus, please kill me. “I can’t live without Signy.”

“You fool.”

Deus threw Zeke to the floor.

Zeke, crushed to the ground, sobbed.

At that time, the tip of Juven Eshamari and Antares’ sword touched Deus’ neck.

“What are you?”

Oridon asked with sharp eyes.

“I would have definitely died by Zeke’s hands.

“Why are you alive?”

Deus looked back at the two with glaring eyes.

“Something like a half-hearted hero.”

Zeke stood in front of the swords of the two Zodiac Knights.

“Don’t do this to others on the same side. Kaden Cha! Mr. Oridon!”

“Zeek, get out of the way. That’s not the same thing. “The author is the one who will destroy this world.”

“Mr. Oridon, how can a human become a demon lord? You saw it earlier. “The devil is already dead.”

“Didn’t you say there was an angel’s oracle?”

At that time, Deus suddenly spoke.

“Was it really an angel? “Aren’t you deceived by the devil?”

“What do you mean?”

“Is there any evidence that it is an angel?”

“Your Holiness has received an oracle.

“So who gave this oracle? “Isn’t this the story where you had a dream while you were taking a nap, followed it to a certain place, and found a messenger from God?”

Cadenza and Oridon were instantly speechless at Deus’s question.

It was a detailed description as if I had seen it myself.

“Then who the hell are you?”

Cadenza asked and Oridon frowned.

“There is no way an angel would tell a lie. You are our enemy. Zeke! Take up your sword. The author said…

“Oh, it’s noisy. You guys shut up. “I’m already very distraught.”

Deus waved his hand in frustration. At that moment, the two paladins froze like ice.

Even his facial expression stopped, as if time had stopped. He was hypnotized by the matter.

Zeke, who was quietly watching the scene, took a step closer to Deus.

“Deus, I know you are not human. So please… please answer without lying. “Is it really impossible to save Signy?”

Zeke was looking straight at himself with tear-filled eyes.

Those eyes looked so sad.

“Then what are you going to do?”

“I… I can’t live anymore.”

“Don’t spit out whatever you want.”

“My younger siblings were my everything. Especially SIGNI!”

“Are you willing to die?”

” yes.”

“You idiot!”

Deus grabbed Zeke by the collar.

“My younger brother is more important to me than saving the world or killing the devil. If Signi had to die because of the oracle, I would…

Deus sighed briefly.

“Jik.”

“Master Deus. “Please save

Signy, Signy .”

“Zeke! Look straight at me.”

Hearing Deus’ shout, Zeke raised his eyes and looked into Deus’s eyes.

Zeke felt a strong sense of déjà vu in his eyes, which showed courage just by meeting him.

The not-so-distant past.

No, it was awkward to even call it the past. The sensations I had felt only a short while ago were so vivid that they enveloped my entire body.

“Look at me. you will know What and who I am.”

“Lord Deus…

“Look straight into my eyes.”

Zeke averted his eyes.

“Zeke!”

“I can’t.”

“Face who I am. And do me a favor. “Please save your brother.”

“I…

“I can do it.”

“You’re saying that we can save SIGNI… right?”

“But once I save Signi, you will have to say goodbye to everything you have done so far. I can’t be by your side

. Signi… no, you yourself may no longer be able to live as a hero. “Is it still okay?”

“Deus-sama, my younger brother is more important to me than anything else. “Maybe more than this world.”

“What happened to your mission as a hero that you’ve been talking about?”

“I don’t know. I really don’t know. But I no longer have the confidence to live in a world without Signi.”

“You will throw everything away. Everything is going to change. Does that mean it’s okay though? Are you confident you won’t regret it?”

“I…

“I have another younger brother. If you keep this up, you will be the last one standing and achieve all glory. You will be able to provide the best environment for your one remaining sibling. The Holly Bitch family is the family that produced the last warrior and will quickly become a prestigious family. “You’re going to throw it all away?”

“I…”

“Come to your senses, you idiot!”

“There’s no need to change everything about Signy’s death.”

“idiot!”

Deus grabbed Zeke by the collar.

“You are the stupidest human being I have ever met.”

Then he threw Zeke on the floor.

“Say it, Zeke. “Who am I?”

“Lord Deus…

“Say my name and ask for it. Then I will listen.”

“You…

“Zeke, live in the moment. Don’t make foolish choices. “If you accept my help, you may become an enemy of humanity yourself.”

“You…

“Zeek!”

“Demiurge! “Please save my brother!”

Deus clicked his tongue.

The human mask was torn down.

The appearance did not change. But I couldn’t pretend to be human anymore.

Sarn began to see darkness.

Deus saw the messengers of the underworld trying to harvest Signi’s soul.

“That’s your choice.”

“I’m sorry, Deus.”

“Don’t lower your head. “You are no longer my employee.”

A B-class hero and a runaway demon lord.

Those who have lost their karma and those who have abandoned their karma.

The two can no longer be in the same place.

Deus suddenly realized something.

If an angel had been caught in the middle, what did he really want?

He wanted to separate himself from Zeke.

Deus left Zeke’s side and approached Signi.

Yulgeum and I made eye contact. She said.

“It’s over. “And your wanderings.”

“What is that expression?”

“What does my expression look like? “Aren’t you feeling relieved?”

“Look in the mirror you idiot. “My eye makeup was all smeared from my tears.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Deus put his hand forward.

Blue flames enveloped Signy’s body.

An altar rose from the ground and enveloped her as if in a hug, and Deus gently pushed Yulgeum next to the altar.

“You go now too.”

“That’s heartless.”

“Thank you, damn woman.”

“you also. “An unlucky man.”

Deus disappeared from everyone’s eyes along with the altar.

Time passed again by the withered tree on the hill…

Cadenza and Oridon found Zeke sitting in a state of fascination and Yulgeum stroking his head.

The two paladins were puzzled by the sudden change in scenery as to what had happened.

And after a few minutes.

One side of the twisted tree collapsed,

revealing a girl inside.

She let out a choking cough and fell forward.

Deus, who took Signi, stayed by the altar.

The evil eye was the devil’s special ability.

Its essence is the gaze of a loser who subjugates the weak.

In order to make your opponent submit, you must be able to penetrate his essence. Therefore, the matter

was able to see all beings, crossing

life and death .

The spirit approached Signy’s side.

Angels of death without humanity.

It guides the dead along the path created by God.

What lies beyond is nothingness.

Until it is judged and divided into right and left, the soul wanders aimlessly in nothingness.

A lion carrying a small lamp and wearing black rags smelled death and approached Signi.

But they could not get past the altar holding Signi

.

The force field created by the decoration of the altar, which resembled the ribs of an animal, became forbidden.

Some gave up and left.

However, some of them circled around the altar persistently like hyenas.

“Insignificant things.”

Deus trampled death.

It explodes and scatters into black fog.

He looked at Signi.

The boundary between the living and the dead passed differently over time.

At least three days.

A person who does not go to the other side for three days will lose his name on the death list.

In the meantime, we must prevent the evil spirits from approaching SIGNI.

And that wasn’t the only thing.

“Zeke, I left that annoying job to that bastard.”

An hourglass was placed at the edge of the altar decoration.

Deus tore thousands of spirits to death until all the sand in the upper compartment ran out.

On the third day, Signi

opened her eyes.

She stretched out as if she was lying on the bed and looked blankly ahead.

Then, I suddenly made eye contact with Deus, who was sticking his head above the altar.

“Who are you?”

“If you come to your senses, get up. “There is a long way to go.”

“yes? ah! “It looks like I’m dead.”

Signi recalled what happened before she fell asleep.

A depressing feeling

washed over my mind like a wave.

The angel Michael commanded himself to be sacrificed.

With Zeke’s current skills, he couldn’t defeat the Demon King. There was only one way for him to defeat the Demon King.

It is resurrected and evolves through the sacrifice of a saint.

If you wake up from death and shed the shell of your past life, you are bound to be reincarnated as a being of a higher level.

Both breaking away and liberation were ways to go beyond death. It was common

to reach enlightenment through training, but

Zeke did not have time for that.

After hearing Michael’s explanation, Signy didn’t think twice.

Because sacrificing in the war against the Demon King was a natural duty.

It was even something she was doing for her brother. Rather, she responded that she was willing to do it.

But…

once I really died, all the things I said about my sense of duty and sacred mission disappeared from my mind.
