Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 174

40. Humans leave for the Demon World, and the Demon King returns with royalties (2)

Count Kielce took Zeke to the temporary palace of the Middle Root Clan.

It was a huge cavity about 10 kilometers from the lake, and in its central square stood a huge stuffed bug.

Zeke knew the monster’s name.

“Giant Queen Ant! “I’ve never seen anything that big.”

“In fact, this cavity was created by ants. “Simply digging the ground and expanding the burrow is something even we dwarves can’t do.”

“Even the mugwort monsters can’t move underground. “Humans have already lost a fairly large territory to monsters.”

“The history of toughness is different. Haha hot.”

The people of the Kingdom of Tiparet greatly welcomed Zeke and Kielce.

Count Kielce constantly gave all the credit to Zeke. Because it was true.

In any case, thanks to that attitude, he earned the nickname “Humble Kielce” and became a member of the prestigious family for centuries.

“Lord Fan Jade. Thanks to your actions, the kingdom was able to regain its capital. Although it is now a lake and it will take time to rebuild, it is an indescribable blessing just to be able to reclaim the sacred central root pillar as our territory. So please feel free to tell me what you

want.”

“It is as if I have already received a reward just from your words, but it is not because of personal greed. I also have a close friend. Therefore, I hope that Your Majesty will have a generous heart.”

“What is your wish?”

“Your Majesty, how far is it from here to old Neuekan?”

“That’s a stupid question.”

The king of the Kingdom of Tiparet said with a smile.

“This is Neuekan. That female

king ant ended up like this when she was discovered by my loyal knights while making a path on a hill just 50 meters east of Neuekan. If you want, you can open the road leading to Neuekan today. But it’s meaningless.”

The Prime Minister came out quickly and bowed his head.

“As your Majesty said, it is completely useless to open the road leading to Neuekan. It is now the land of monsters. “If the powerful monsters on the surface become interested in the underground, a lot of blood

will be shed again.”

It seems that the dwarves were unable to check the situation on the ground because of their fight with the blue dragon.

“I and my colleagues live in Neuekan now. “Monsters will never come underground.”

“Is that true?”

When the Prime Minister raised his glasses and asked again, the King cleared his throat.

“You step back. Would Lord Pan Jade tell such nonsense? In that case, it would be better to dig up the ground right away rather than making a fuss. “Prime Minister , open the road to

Neue Kahn immediately .”

“All right!”

The dwarves’ digging skills were admirable.

Zeke waited for the road to open at the forefront of the digging.

Over the course of several hours, the cave was expanded by cutting dirt and breaking down rocks.

The shaking ceiling collapsed. There was a hole big enough for a few people to pass through. And light poured into it.

“It’s open!”

Miners wearing iron hats shouted excitedly.

On the other hand, the knights who came out to escort them were nervous and grabbed their spears.

At that moment, hundreds of tree vines came flowing down through a hole in the ground.

It was not an ordinary tree vine. He immediately grabbed a dwarf and wrapped it around him like a cocoon.

The knights shouted.

“Get back! “It’s a monster vine!”

But their worries were unfounded.

Zeke stepped forward and grabbed the vine with his hand.

“It’s me Lakke.”

The sharp thorns turned into gentle protrusions, and the leaves affectionately wrapped around Zeke’s arms.

Suddenly, a bunch of vines turned into the shape of a beautiful woman. It was Lakhe.

She immediately wrapped her arms around Zeke’s waist and hugged him.

“Zeke!”

“How are you Lakhe?”

“What took you so long?”

“Nothing happened, right?”

“No, not much… there’s a lot.”

Zeke bowed his head and looked at Lakhe.

There were tears in the corners of my eyes.

“What happen?”

“Signi… was captured.”

“who! Is it Seonghwangcheong?”

“no.”

“Then•…

“Deus. “That person came.”

Zeke felt like he had been punched in the back of the head.

Why is his name coming up now?

The alliance process with the dwarf kingdom proceeded without any major ups and downs.

While Teriyan was finalizing diplomatic proceedings on Zeke’s behalf, Zeke climbed up on the wall of the North Gate with three men, Sa Dimus and Raque Nezar.

It was the exact spot where Signi disappeared.

Zeke heard about what had happened at Neuekan during the month or so he had been away.

As Sadimus continued his long story, he remained silent and folded his arms.

“Was it really him?”

Nezar gets angry.

“What is he? Dirty demon bastard. “Didn’t you take advantage of SIGNI while Master Zeke was away?”

“Stay still.”

“You can’t sit still? You frustrating owner, you have to do your best to act nice! I am so annoyed that I can no longer serve you as my master. “I have to cancel the contract immediately!”

Sadimus shouted at Nezar.

“What kind of reckless behavior is this!”

“If you can, put it on! “A dried and twisted skull gourd from a thousand years ago.”

“This guy!”

“The weak one is noisy. why? “Why don’t you come at me?”

Sadimus gritted his teeth.

Nezar, who obtained the Almighty Bracelet, was strong.

Sadimus and Lakhe could not even dare to think of confronting him.

As Nezar began wearing the bracelet, he became more arrogant day by day.

But it was hard to see him being so arrogant, even towards Zeke.

Sadimus glared at Nezar.

“What did you tell us when you first got the Bracelet of Almighty? “Didn’t you say you wanted to use more strength for Zeke?”

“Don’t you know the saying, “When you put something on, take it off?” “Why are skeletons involved in what’s going on between me and Zeke?”

“This guy!”

Nezar stretched out his hand.

The bracelet grew like a whip and struck Sadimus away.

Sadimus tried to block his bracelet with a magic barrier, but it

was helpless.

It was the same as doing nothing. He was pushed by a strong force and thrown against the wall.

Lakhe hurriedly summoned thick moss on the wall to ease Sadimus’ shock.

Nezar glared at Lakhe.

“Leave it alone. “I will be an example of what happens to those who rebel against me.”

“Do it in moderation. “No matter how merciful a master Zeke is, he won’t forgive you for what you are now.”

Nezar snorted.

“This is not the time to be idle and act like someone else’s servant. Deus has become much stronger than before. I don’t know what I ate, but I said it made me stronger. You have to make the Almighty Bracelet, the Thunder God’s Hammer, and even the Star Servant. “The servant of the star would have fallen to the ground and burned up a long time ago.”

“He… became stronger?”

“Yes, you stupid master. So set me free. If you do that, even if I defeat the demon lord and become the king of this world , I will not have

you as my servant .”

“How much stronger have you become?”

“Comparison itself is impossible.”

The moment Zeke heard Nezar’s words, he smiled.

Nezar was taken aback for a moment by that bright face.

“Master, has treason become routine now? “You say the Demon King is strong, why do you like him?”

“If it’s the same as before, I think I’ll be a little… sad.”

“What nonsense…

“Because I’m getting stronger today too.”

“Haha, are you saying something crazy because you have nothing to say? “Then, let’s assume you understand what I’m saying and have a ceremony to cancel the contract?”

“The Almighty Bracelet seems to be quite strong. “You know my strength well, but you talk like that.”

“Of course, all calculations have been completed. Originally, I thought about hiding in the master’s shadow to gain more strength, but I don’t think I have time. The guy who is said to be the devil will invade the human world in 10 years? “We have to hurry

up so that we can tear off that bastard’s head and chew it on that day .”

“Master Deus has told me several times to be careful of you.”

“Because he was afraid of me too.”

“fear? No, it’s different from that. Nezar, I am your master. “Obey my name.”

“Are you planning on taking the devil’s contract? How pathetic. Can’t you control me only by relying on the devil’s power? Come fight with me! “Let us follow the words of those who fought and won!”

Sadimus spoke to Zeke in a groaning voice.

“There is no need to get caught up in his provocations. Plus… the Almighty Bracelet is really strong. “It might be stronger than the Deus I saw before.”

“Of course I’m stronger. At that time, I was in a restrained body, so I was only defeated. “No human being can handle my strength right now.”

“Nezar.”

“Why, you bastard?”

“You can’t leave my side.”

“I will leave even if it is by force. “If you tear up the owner, the contract will be useless.”

“Nezar.”

“Don’t call me that.”

“It’s impossible with your abilities.”

“I’m saying this because you haven’t seen my power yet.”

Nezar summoned the Thunder God’s Hammer from the Almighty Bracelet.

“Rain God’s hammer alone is not enough. The electrical charge cloud created by the Almighty Bracelet summons a thunderbolt powerful enough to tear the continent apart!”

He twirled the hammer in the sky.

A streak of lightning suddenly appeared in the air and went wild.

The blue prongs that bounced around randomly followed the hammer’s head, came together, and exploded.

Kuang!

Thunder rang out.

It was truly thunderous, not a metaphor.

Nezar’s face was filled with laughter.

“how is it? “Does this mean I’m weak?”

“Nezar, I already knew that you had a bad temperament. But don’t worry.”

Zeke pulled out his sword.

“Even if it takes a few years,

I will make you a human being.”

“The owner!”

Nezar lunged at Zeke.

The hammer that was spinning above his head came down on Zeke.

Blocking and dodging were not easy.

There was no need for a direct hit. If it touches even one part of your body, you will be roasted.

“You should have listened when I said it would only save your life! Isn’t that right, master?”

Lightning engulfed Zeke’s body.

A light more powerful than a thunderstorm blocked everyone’s vision.

Lakhe and Sadimus took their steps to help Zeke, but were pushed back by the pressure caused by the lightning and ended up taking a step back.

“Hahahaha! The contract is now resolved!”

Nezar screamed.

But…

I still felt frustrated. As if my heart was tangled in chains.

The contract did not disappear.

The thunderstorm subsided.

Zeke hit Nezar’s forehead with the side of his sword.

“once. “Forgive me.”

Then he put the sword into its scabbard.

Zeke spoke as if nothing had happened, looking at Sadi Mus and Lakhe.

“It seems Deus-sama knew what the sword on Signi’s back was. It may not be dangerous right away. Otherwise, there is no reason to take Signi away without saying anything.”

“It is highly likely, but…

Sadimus paused.
