Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 142

32. Farewell to an era (5)

I was just sad.

Not being able to see Brother Zeke means not being able to see Regin again.

Tears flowed occasionally.

I turned my head and looked at the sky. I tried to make the tears go away, but more tears came out.

“What are you doing?”

“Yes, yes, I’m sorry. Are you an angel

? “It looks like I made the angel wait.”

” angel?”

“yes. “I heard that an angel will guide you to the Lord’s kingdom after you die.”

“That kind of thing is a superstition.”

” yes?”

“Once you die, you will be dragged by a lowly spirit and thrown into the sea of nothingness.”

The dark spirit spun around and rushed towards the altar.

However, before SIGNI had time to be surprised, Deus crushed the spirit.

“You don’t want to be dragged away, do you?”

“yes yes!”

“Just give me a short answer.”

“four!”

“Okay, there’s no time to cry now. “I can’t even estimate how long it will take you to walk four steps.”

“Are we going to the world of the dead?”

“no.”

Deus held out his hand.

“To your brother.”

Signy couldn’t find anything to say.

But I can’t cry when I hear that I can live.

He smiled brightly and held Deus’ hand tightly.

The dead are pushed far away just by the fact that they are dead.

no.

In fact, everyone except the dead is moving along the path of time.

Another word for death is falling behind.

While everyone is forming new relationships, they stay in one place and fall behind.

The path Deus was currently taking by Signi’s hand was a torrent of time.

Signi had no power. There was no way that she, just an ordinary human being, could defy the torrent of time.

Deus squeezed Signi’s hand tightly.

If you miss it, you don’t know where it will end up. I wasn’t sure if I would ever find it again.

In the meantime, some evil spirit might snatch Signi and throw him into the Sea of Nothingness.

I couldn’t let go of my hand.

“When Zeke returns, I’m going to give you a smack in the head.”

“I think I understand now.”

“What?”

“What is your identity?”

“mister’?”

“yes. “Are you Deus?”

” that’s right.”

“As expected!”

Deus was surprised when he saw Signi’s expression.

He never imagined

that there would be someone with such a defenseless smile in front of him .

Signi bowed her head.

“Thank you, mister. “Thanks to you, my brother was able to rise to such a high position.”

“Uh uh.”

“And thank you again.”

” what?”

“My uncle hired my brother and paid us a generous salary, so me and Regine were able to attend boarding school. Boarding schools are so much better than public schools. “I really learned a lot.”

“Is that so?”

“yes! I have a bit of a knack for magic, and there was a time when I ranked first in my class on a paper exam. “The teacher was also surprised and scolded me a little, wondering if I had cheated.”

“If you do well, they will at least praise you, but you scolded me?”

“That’s because a kid from public school who didn’t even know basic magic until a few months ago has solved an advanced magic technique. But I also tried my best. “It’s not like I just got to be able to do it.”

“You must have had talent. “I heard the pureblood level is very high?”

“Hehe, I’m embarrassed.”

Deus let out a laugh as he looked at the girl with red cheeks.

“But where am I? “Is this the land of the lions?”

” that’s right.”

“Am I dead?”

“Not yet.”

“Can I really survive? Deus-sama… can you do something like that?”

“I’m a bit handsome.”

“You are truly amazing.”

“Don’t praise me too much. To be honest, I’m still not sure if this is the right thing to do.”

“Well, it goes against God’s providence.”

“That doesn’t matter.”

“why? “It is a great sin to disobey the will of the Almighty Lord.”

“I’m still in puberty. “Full of rebellion.”

” yes?”

“I’m kidding. “What I’m worried about is you and your brother.”

Deus sighed briefly.

“A 14-year-old is doing this because he believes he won’t regret it. “It might be a huge inconvenience to you guys.”

“No matter how wrong it is, it’s better than dying.”

“You never know.”

“I wish my mom and dad were alive, even if it meant being a burden to everyone in this world.”

“Is that so?”

” yes.”

“Well, if you die arbitrarily, that too is abolished.”

At this moment, Deus thought of Demiurge, 665 years old.

What were you thinking when you did this?

He died at Zeke’s hands. All of Mahon’s energy is used up.

“It’s really a waste.”

” sorry.”

“No, not you.”

Deus said this and pulled Signy’s hand.

“Before here is the thorn vine of oblivion.”

“The thorn vine of forgetfulness…

“As long as the dead person does not forget the past, the thorn vine will get stabbed in the leg.”

“I have to forget?”

“ O ” O

“But I…

“The dead person.”

“ah! What a relief. “Forgetting your brother, forgetting your family!”

“It’s too early to like it. “Not being able to forget means there is no way to escape the pain.”

Signi was startled and looked at his feet.

A vine with sharp thorns was already wrapping around my leg.

“What do you want to do? “If you let go of my hand, the vines won’t hurt you.”

“But then you will die.”

“Well, that’s right.”

“I want to go.”

“It will hurt a lot.”

“Still, I want to live.”

“okay?”

Deus took a long stride forward

.

The sound of flesh being torn apart was heard. Signi let out a low groan.

But Deus did not stop walking.

If you are Zeke’s younger brother… if you are SIGNI, whom Zeke loves and is proud of… you

will overcome.

I walked on the brambles of oblivion for five full months.

But that wasn’t the end.

Beyond the vine-covered land was the Seven Evil Lava.

It was a path made of lava that a person had no choice but to walk down in proportion to the amount of sins they had committed during their lifetime.

Arrogant, lazy, greedy for food…

no matter how neat a person was, they couldn’t help but commit sin.

Signi walked on lava for 127 days.

It would be easier if my feet burned off.

Every time I stepped out of the lava, the soles of my feet turned red like the skin of a newborn.

“It looks like you put on a good face but did a lot of bad things.”

Signy’s cheeks turned red.

” sorry.”

“That’s what it means to be alive. “If you look at food, it is made from living things, so killing is unavoidable.”

“That’s right.”

“We’re almost there now.”

“ah!” Signi

looked at Deus’ hand

holding her hand .

For a long time of over two hundred days, he did not let go even for a moment.

If it were a living body, it would have been impossible to hold hands like this even while sleeping or going to the bathroom.

After I come back to life, I will probably let go of this hand.

When I thought about that, I felt somewhat regretful.

Were those feelings conveyed?

Or is it simply timing?

“If you leave here… you will hate me too.”

” yes?”

“Zeek would be like that too. “Because he’s young now, he might have a crush on me or something.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“It’s a bit hard to say it myself… To be honest, I didn’t intend to escalate the matter to this point. “It started with a very simple mind.”

“Neither I nor you will ever hate Deus.”

“I don’t say ‘absolutely’ carelessly

. Anyway, it doesn’t matter if you hate anything. It’s just really… I don’t know if it’s just an excuse. “No, it’s okay.”

Deus scratched his head.

I thought it was strange why I was confiding my true feelings to Signi.

“Signi.”

“Yes uncle.”

“Hate me. Because that would be the way to be happy.”

“Why do you keep saying such scary things?”

Right then, Deus stopped.

He fumbled with the wall, grabbed something, and

ripped it off.

A bright light shone through the gap.

” go.”

Deus pushed SIGNI beyond.

Signi, startled, turned his head and looked at Deus.

I wanted to say something, but I didn’t even have time.

Deus turned his back and disappeared into the darkness.

At that moment, for some reason, Signi was able to figure out who he was.

This was because my thinking as a human being, which had stopped, returned again.

It may have been because memories that had been temporarily left behind in the thorns of oblivion came to mind.

Demon King Demiurge.

The identity of Deus mentioned in the oracle was none other than the Demon King.

Zeke hugged Signy.

My little sister came into my ample arms.

I couldn’t say anything. I poured out all my emotions into my tightly held arms.

“Don’t cry, brother.”

“Signi! Signy!”

“do not Cry. “Aren’t you embarrassed to be in such a crowded place?”

“No, I’m not ashamed! “I’m not embarrassed at all.”

“Your brother is a warrior. “Keep your dignity.”

“There is nothing like that. “I’m just a bellboy in Joricks Village.”

As time passed and things calmed down to a certain degree, Zeke let go of Signy.

“He… he… or has he left?”

Signi nodded.

“I think so.”

Zeke nodded heavily.

And then I looked around.

The two Zodiac Knights, Cadenza and Oridon, were looking at Zeke and Signy with stern expressions.

It was something to celebrate, but the words did not come out easily.

Yulgeum approached, leaving everyone by his side.

“Really yay! And I did it.”

Yulgeum grabbed Signy’s hand and helped her up.

“how is it? What about your body? But it seems like he’s grown up a bit.”

Zeke tilted his head.

“Growing up. Only 5 minutes have passed…

“Because the clock in the underworld is different from here. Resurrection means being born again. “It takes a similar amount of time as being in your mother’s womb.”

“Ten months?”

“280 days to be exact. “He probably came back after spending that much time.”

Signi nodded at Yulgeum’s words.

“I wasn’t sure how long it had been since my senses were so confused, but it felt like a long time.”

“I came here after turning one year older.”

Zeke was puzzled and scratched his head.

Cadenza approached Zeke and Signy.

“You brought the dead to life. The oracle was right. “He… is definitely the devil.”

Zeke didn’t answer anything.

“Zeek, come to your senses. “You must do nothing for him now.”

“Mr. Cadenza, I am… not my hero.”

“What do you mean?”

“I made a wish to him even though I knew he was the devil. “Please save my sister.”

Oridon rushed over and grabbed Zeke’s shoulder.

“that!”

“I asked the Demon King to save my sister.”

“I did it without knowing. “You knew him as Deus… and you deceived yourself that he was Deus.”

Oridon hurriedly said this.

But Zeke slowly shook his head.

“I found out after fighting the devil. What power was felt in Deus’s eyes? It wasn’t something that gave me courage. “It was just because I was in front of the Demon King that my almost infinite courage surged up.”

Zeke held Signy’s hand tightly.

“I traded my pride as a warrior for my sister’s life. I am no longer a warrior. “Please tell everyone about this despicable act.”
