Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 169

38. Seeing the Demon Sword (4)

“Everyone is caught up in madness… and criticizing Mr. Zeke. But I trust Zeke. Even if I get tangled up with the devil!”

Zeke’s expression hardened slightly.

“You got me involved in something useless. “Thank you for everything.”

“Rather, I would like to say thank you. Thanks to Mr. Zeke, I was able to see a new world.”

Zeke held out his hand. He said to Katran while shaking hands.

“You will definitely become stronger.”

“See you in 10 years at the Last Crusade.”

After parting ways with Katran, Zeke immediately left Turban.

The streets of Terra End were now empty.

It seemed that the knights of Seonghwangcheong had already completely taken over.

Zeke walked towards the castle gate.

How many steps did you take? Five

armored knights blocked the way.

“He is an inspector directly under the Seonghwangcheong Office. “Is this you, Zeke van Jich?”

Zeke looked at the knights in front of him.

He was in his early to mid 20s, not a few years older than me.

His posture was stable and his eyes were full of confidence. But…

it seemed to be several numbers lower than the main knight of the Ten-In-Ten-Color. Zeke didn’t even think about taking out a weapon against them.

“My name is Sieg van Jade.”

“You are proud of being a wanted criminal. “If you remain silent and are arrested, you will be given extenuating circumstances at trial, but if you resist, even if you resist, you will be charged with additional charges.”

Zeke smiled at his words.

“What’s funny?”

“Will there be any additional sentences imposed on me? “It would already be the death penalty.”

“this guy! How dare you ridicule the inspector of the Holy Emperor’s Office?”

“I don’t think there’s any need to get angry to the point where there’s ridicule between enemies. “Then I’ll just go.”

Zeke trotted past them.

The knights all drew their swords and cut Zeke down.

But not a single sword could graze Zeke’s body.

Zeke left the five knights who were looking at his sword with bewildered expressions, as if they had cut down a ghost, and passed through the castle gate.

“It’s not like they’re an opponent worth dealing with, just like the Seonghwangcheong inspection unit.”

A man was standing leaning against the wall. The person who received his words

was a woman who looked to be less than 20 years old.

“Just because you’re Oridon doesn’t mean you’re an enemy, right?”

“I am not alone. “Santir, I am with you and the Scorpio avant-garde.”

Zeke bowed his head towards the man.

“Mr. Oridon, it’s been a while.”

“Nice to meet you Zeke. “Has it been 10 years?”

” yes.”

Zeke smiled brightly.

The happy feeling I was feeling right now wasn’t a lie.

Zodiac Knights who once almost became colleagues. Among them, Oridon was treated warmly with a particularly sad personality.

It’s only a crooked percentage who dislike people like that.

“Now I can’t say I’m a novice at sword fighting.”

“Just by surviving in Neuekan, you become incredibly strong.”

“Because that place is hell.”

Oridon lowered the holy sword Antares from his shoulder and placed it on the floor.

“Ascalon is starting to move.

how is it? “I would like to return to Seonghwangcheong even now.”

Santir, who was behind Oridon, raised his voice.

“Lord Oridon!”

“My ears will rip.”

“You speak the name of Ascalon to a sinner!”

“It would be very reassuring if Zeke came back. Of course, since the Leo constellation has already been occupied by someone else, we will get another empty constellation.”

“Thank you for your advice, but I think it will be difficult now.”

“Because of Miss Signy?”

“yes.”

“Is the demon sword still growing on her back?”

“That’s not a magic sword or anything.”

“Then what is it?”

“I don’t know, but there’s no way SIGNI would raise a cursed sword.”

“I’m not saying Miss Signy is bad. Because she is also cursed by the devil. “Let’s solve that problem together.”

“I will bear the karma of the curse

. “We can’t make SIGNI a spectacle.”

“He is just an older brother who loves his younger sister.”

“yes. “More than anyone else.”

“What about the other younger brother?”

Zeke sighed briefly.

“How is Regin doing?”

“I guess you could say I’m doing well. Because he is the Zodiac Knight of Leo.”

“I heard the story. “I was confident that you two would take good care of me.”

“Is it okay to leave childcare behind and hide in the mountains

? “Should I really thank you for believing in that?”

Oridon scratched his head.

On the way, I glanced back.

Avant-garde.

In the battle group under the Zodiac Knight, the avant-garde enjoyed special self-defense.

Separate from the Knights Templar, they were equivalent to the companions of the Zodiac Knights.

The avant-garde party was one that could produce maximum combat power by combining the Zodiac Knight with wizards, priests, warriors, etc.

What is blocking Zeke now is the avant-garde of the Scorpio Left. All of them had the highest level of ability in the D class.

The avant-garde people moved according to Oridon’s glance.

From the knight nearby to the archer hiding in the castle. Zeke was pulling the strings of tension tightly to catch one person.

“To be honest… everyone was betting that I would fail. “But I’m still curious and I don’t think I’ll be able to fall asleep without trying it.”

Oridon grabbed the sword with both hands.

“Is it really possible to subdue Sieg Van Jade with just one Joe Diac Avant-Garde?”

At the same time as a short shout, the large body of the bastard sword made a sharp sound of wind.

Zeke took out his shield and blocked his sword.

The weapons of the two people crossed, creating dazzling fireworks.

In what part was I mistaken?

Santir summoned a huge pillar of flame and trapped Zeke.

But the feeling of despair was not erased. Everyone is mistaken.

“Avoid it!”

Before Santir could finish shouting, Oridon was rolling around on the floor.

Oridon almost got hit head-on by the magic energy reflected by his opponent’s shield.

I wasn’t ashamed that I had escaped in a bad way. On the contrary, he was able to avoid it because his skills were outstanding.

One of the avant-garde knights

was unable to dodge and was left lying on one side like a piece of luggage.

Santir bit his lip.

Zeke wasn’t a strong warrior or anything.

It’s an illusion.

It is only possible within the blueprint for a group of humans to subdue him.

He didn’t even take out his weapon right now. He was fighting all 10 Avant Gard and the warrior Oridon with just a shield.

Zeke’s figure disappeared from sight.

Instead of using his physical eyes, Santir looked at his surroundings with magic eyes high in the sky.

A faint shadow was running towards the west.

In that direction was Ligeyan, who was in charge of the long-range striker for Scorpius Avant Garde.

His bow was a longbow that was two meters long. The magic bow named Sargas was powerful enough to pierce even a shield made of dragon scales.

However, Zeke’s shield containing the aura

was nothing compared to a simple dragon’s scale.

Ligeyan saw Zeke running straight towards him and fired five arrows.

“Five leaf clover!”

It was the best skill he had.

The arrow, divided into five strands, could target the enemy’s life with its own trajectory.

Ligeyan placed all five arrows in a straight line.

There is only one goal.

I was planning on piercing Zeke’s shield. No matter how much his shield

was covered with an aura, the arrow strengthened by Ligeyan’s skill was sharp enough to pierce the rock.

When the third arrow lost its power and fell to the ground, a hole was finally created in the shield’s aura.

The fourth arrow pierced the exact center of the shield.

But the shield was not pierced.

Rather, the tip of the arrow was engulfed in tremendous flames and melted.

The moment the fifth arrow was burning, Ligeyan was struck by the shield and thrown into a haystack under the castle wall.

No one could stop Zeke.

Even captain Oridon had trouble damaging Zeke’s shield with his Antares.

After about half an hour of fighting, Oridon sheathed his sword.

And without saying a word, he stepped aside.

Perhaps because it hurt his pride to admit defeat, only the hand holding the sword was shaking.

Zeke bowed his head to Oridon.

With that greeting that was meant to be a farewell, Zeke passed by Oridon’s troops and completely escaped out of the fortress.

Less than ten minutes after leaving Terraend Fortress, Zeke encountered another group of knights.

This time it was a fairly large unit.

There seemed to be well over 500 formal knights wearing silver armor. Up to

2,000 spearmen, hundreds of magicians, and even

avant-gardists wearing colorful costumes.

Judging by the type of flag, it seemed that a total of six Zodiac Knights had come here, leading all of their knights.

Zeke’s eyes were drawn to two of the flags.

Libra was the unit of the cadenza.

He was a person who saw the potential of Zeke, who was still a rookie.

Zeke’s main feeling for him was regret. I had high expectations for you, but in the end, I ended up betraying you.

But at this moment, what Zeke couldn’t take his eyes off of was the Lion’s flag standing furthest away.

Zeke shouted, giving strength to his stomach.

“It is not a power developed to fight humans. Please make way.”

Even in front of the great army, he did not look at all frightened.

A paladin on a horse came forward. It was Kaden Cha, the Libra Paladin.

“Honestly, I didn’t think we would get through Mr. Oridon so quickly. “It looks like he’s become stronger than he was 10 years ago

.”

“You might call me arrogant for saying this, but you can’t stop me.”

A few knights burst out laughing.

The knights gathered here had more than half of the power of Seonghwangcheong. It was much stronger than most of the kingdom’s elite knights.

The world’s greatest knights are led by the Zodiac Knights.

Even the Zodiac Knight and his companions,

absolute powerhouses whose individual strength is stronger than that of a dragon .

If the Zodiac Knights can’t ignore even the Demon Lord’s army, then there’s only one human!

But Cadenza did not laugh.

“Zeke, you… weren’t the type to tell jokes. Has his personality changed?”

“Which one?”

Cadenza’s expression actually hardened as Zeke said something with a smile.

Are you really saying that you can fight against this large army alone?

Or is it just a bluff to create a loophole

?

Either way, the calculations were complicated.

The battlefield was filled with the noise the knights made in excitement.

The latch on which the sword was hung clicked. It seemed like he wanted to draw his sword right away.

The spurs made a clanking sound, and the harsh breaths cracked against the helmet, forming a low whistle.

The horses were equally excited.

It seemed as if countless cavalry mounted on warhorses were going to trample and crush Zeke’s body at any moment.

But Cadenza could not give the marching order.

Even if just by chance,

losing the Zodiac Knight would have been an irreversible mistake.
