Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 185

42. Entering the test (4)

Meanwhile, Deus was taking a nap in a corner of the jungle that day, without even dreaming that Zeke was coming.

After a sweet sleep, I suddenly felt a numb pain in my right hand and opened my eyes.

I looked at my hand to see what was going on and saw the Baekho emblem glowing.

The thought of Baekho immediately came to mind.

“You found traces of Hyeonmu…?” Yulgeum, who was reading a book in the hammock across from him, looked at Deus and asked.

“what’s the matter?”

“They say my right hand found traces of Hyeonmu?”

“You also talk to your right hand.”

“A weapon with will!”

“It looks like Baekho was also looking for Hyeonmu.”

“They say you should be a loyal subordinate who thinks about your master. Even competent. “Different from others.”

Deus got down from the hammock,

looked back at Yulgeum and said.

“Then let’s leave right away.”

“You also have an impatient personality.”

“The prey might escape.” It was a body without any particular burden.

Deus spread his black wings and soared straight into the sky.

Yulgeum chases after him with flight magic. However, it was not easy to chase after Deus with only magical power.

As the distance grew so far out of sight that Deus returned to where Yulgeum was.

“Why are you procrastinating like this?”

“Is it because the Demon King’s wings are too fast?”

“You have wings too.”

” doesn’t exist.”

“No way. “When you say angel, if you say wings, you’re not an angel, right?”

“Isn’t that a huge prejudice?”

” doesn’t exist?”

” now.”

“Then you transform into a dragon?”

“I think I’ve said it before, but I’m just the way I am.”

“I can’t.”

Deus held out his hand.

“catch. “I’ll pull it for you.”

However, Yulgeum hesitated and did not hold Deus’ hand.

“Catch it quickly. “I said we have to hurry.”

“I wonder if a sword is growing out of my back too.”

Deus burst out laughing.

“I’m leaving it behind.”

“okay.”

Yulgeum held Deus’ hand. It was a dangerous hand that could lead to pregnancy, but I thought it would be okay for a while.

Deus’ flight was dizzyingly fast.

For the first time in a long time, Yulgeum remembered the time when she had wings.

It gave up its wings and lived among ugly lizards for nearly 700 centuries.

Although he was given the noble name of God of Dragons, he accepted his karma with a heart closer to resignation than joy.

But I couldn’t forget my instinct to fly.

I suddenly remembered the long time ago when I flew with wings that were completely different from the magic of flight.

Deus increased his speed.

The air in front was compressed, creating a small cloud, which eventually exploded into a large ring.

“thank you.”

Taking advantage of the sound, she whispered inaudibly.

The place where Hyeonmu was located was 3,000 kilometers away from the border of the demon world.

Even with the devil’s wings flapping, it took about an hour.

Deus, who landed on the ground, opened and closed his mouth and gasped loudly.

The skin on my face was tingling due to the long flight at high altitude.

The place we arrived at following the white tiger’s lead was a completely different landscape from where we had just been.

“There is snow on the flat land.”

“This will be my first time seeing winter scenery.” There was snow all the way to the horizon.

A span was piled up along the gentle plain.

While looking around, Deus caught sight of a pile of rocks. It was

a dolmen-like rock made up of two long stones and a large rock on top of them

.

“Is this a religious site from the Gilded Age?”

When Deus asked, Yulgeum shook his head.

“I don’t think so? “The terrain around here has completely changed from before, so it will be difficult for any relics to remain.”

Deus and Yulgeum left two lines of footprints on the snow-covered plain.

The distance from the huge dolmen has narrowed. I climbed over a gentle hill.

And

Deus forgot what to say for a moment as he saw the scenery unfolding before him.

Yulgeum sighed briefly.

“It’s not the Golden Age, but it’s definitely a religious place.”

Mugwort monsters.

Huge elephants, hippopotamuses, gazelles, tigers, and foxes were bowing down, surrounding a huge stagnant stone.

At best, the number of monsters bending their front paws and bowing their foreheads to the ground was more than a thousand.

“Have you ever seen anything like this?”

” doesn’t exist.”

“You have a lot of experience.”

“Those are animals. “They don’t have intelligence.”

“But you’re bowing, right? Don’t you think that over a thousand of them all tripped over stones? “It’s not like he was bending over because his feet were numb.”

It was a strange scene.

Apparently the animals were bowing.

Passing through the animals, Deus continued to approach the dolmen.

Two pillar stones supporting a huge rock.

In the meantime, a turtle was sitting.

It might be too much to just dismiss that being as a turtle.

He slightly bent his long snake-like neck, looked at the ground, and crossed his legs in a lotus position.

The turtle, which was sitting in a meditation-like posture, raised its head at the appearance of Deus.

“Are you the one who obtained the white tiger?”

Deus was so embarrassed that he didn’t come out of the bathtub.

“My name is Hyeonmu. “He is a being who has realized the Tao and escaped from the bondage of the divine beast.”

“There is a saying that a bastard who finds it difficult to speak is a fraud.”

“The Tao is manifest, but the words are simple. “It’s not easy to explain even in difficult words, so I have no choice but to keep my mouth shut.”

“What about this turtle?”

Deus turned his head and looked at Yulgeum.

Yulgeum looked at Hyeonmu blankly.

“Have you truly escaped the bounds of karma?”

“I see.”

“God won’t allow it.”

“God is just another name for cause and effect. He

exists but does not participate. If that great will were to unfold its own will, all existence would be impermanent. But I exist.”

Hyeonmu said this and stood up.

It looked like a turtle standing on two legs.

However, what makes it different from other turtles is that the traces of time have deeply settled on its shell.

“If God had not allowed me, I would not exist.”

“Even if God allows it, I don’t think other great beings will allow it?”

Hyeonmu tilted his head and laughed at Deus’ words.

“A great being? “Are you saying there is a being worthy of being named after God?”

“Yes.”

“Who is that?”

“It’s me, you bastard!”

Deus jumped out as if exploding.

In an instant, he approached at close range and struck Hyeonmu’s chin with a fist imbued with the power of a white tiger.

No, I tried to hit him.

A loud bang echoed around the area.

In the echo, the old dolmen shook and scattered snow powder.

However, Deus’ fist did not reach Hyeonmu’s chin.

I stopped with only about 2 centimeters left when I was blocked by an intangible wall.

Hyeonmu twitched the corner of his mouth.

“It’s great. Kid, you don’t even understand the definition of the word.”

“Little? “Does this baby turtle really need to eat to come to its senses?”

He turned around and kicked Hyunmoo’s chin with his foot.

But he also couldn’t reach the other person’s body.

“Shit!”

Deus burst out in anger and raised his magic spirit.

The magic energy was added to the power of the white tiger within the body. Just clenching my fist caused a shock wave to shake the ground.

Hyeonmu opened his eyes wide.

“Ho-oh, the power of the main body is not that weak.”

“Are you sleepy? “It’s a long story?”

“Do you think you can overpower me?”

“huh. You and Baekho are the same level, right? I am stronger than a white tiger. “The kids will know which side is stronger.”

Hyeonmu laughed.

“Kkkkkkkkkk. Even a child can understand. “Then shall we face the truth?”

“Don’t do that, but if you say something nice, it’s mine, right? I will let you nest here in my left hand. don’t worry. “We will not treat you differently just because you are on the left hand

.”

“Are you asleep? “Why are the words so long?”

“This bastard is real!”

Deus stretched out his fist.

It made me wonder if there had ever been such a proper punching. Ma Young-gi added to Baekho’s power and unleashed power like a storm.

All the snow that had fallen on the long triangle-shaped ground behind Hyeonmu had evaporated.

However, it was not possible to inflict even a single wound on Hyeonmu’s body.

“I have sought the Tao here for 30,000 years. It seems like the animals got something from seeing me. “Whenever we are in pain or suffering somewhere, we gather at this rock and pray like that.”

Deus’s two fists exploded with powerful spirit in succession.

However, all power was rendered ineffective.

The rock that stood like a dolmen shook and the accumulated snow poured down like a storm.

However, it also did not accumulate around Hyeonmu’s body.

“I’ve been thinking about this lately. “I wonder if I have become a god.”

“If you’re going to go crazy, go crazy beautifully, okay?” I swung my fist so hard that my body fell back.

The shock wave tore the surrounding space apart.

The pillar collapsed. The huge bar tilted and fell backwards. It was difficult to even keep it intact, so it broke into four pieces.

Numerous mugwort beasts were pushed to death by the shock wave.

But it was quiet.

Deus looked down at his fist with a blank face.

Although he hit with all his might, he was unable to break through Hyeonmu’s barrier.

I felt quite a shock.

Is that really… stronger than you?

At that moment, Yulgeum pulled Deus’ arm.

At that moment, light filled Deus’ eyes. When they came to their senses again, they were standing several kilometers away from a huge dolmen.

“Ah-oh!”

Deus screamed in anger and hit the ground.

Some time has passed.

Yulgeum waited for Deus’ anger to subside.

” fool.”

At the end, with a short word, Deus looks back at Yulgeum.

” I?”

“O” Hmm.

“why?”

“Because he quickly loses his composure and goes wild.”

“You don’t look angry? It’s Hyeonmu, right? It’s one of the Four Gods of Death that is at the same level as the white tiger in my hand. But how can it be so strong?”

“Do you really think so? First of all, is it true that he is Hyeonmu?”

“You said you are like that.”

“Since when were you so naive?”

“How can it be that it wasn’t Hyeonmu!”

Yulgeum sighed briefly.

“Hyeonmu.”

“This woman is already in a bad mood

!”

“I mean, be cool.”

“Okay, I’ve calmed down. So what do you want to say?”

“The white tiger was sealed and waiting for its owner. It seems the same was true for Suzaku. But it wasn’t Hyeonmu. “I don’t know when it started, but he woke up and was living with the mugwort monsters in the mugwort land.”

“I know that.”

“At least 30,000 years. “Isn’t that long enough for a mutation to occur?”

“You mean it’s Hyeonmu but it’s not Hyeonmu?”

“that’s right.”

“Damn, the growth rate is abnormal.”

“Because it was designed as a weapon from the beginning, its combat capabilities were excellent.”

Deus turned his head in the direction where the dolmen was.

The good news was that it didn’t chase me.

If we got back together now, we would have to fight for our lives.

There wasn’t even a chance of winning.

I ruffled my hair and looked at Yulgeum.

“Be cool. These won’t be empty words. “Did you

see a weakness?”

“On the contrary.”

“the opposite? Are you saying you saw my strengths?”

“I’m not going to say any more than this.”

“Okay. After hearing your story, I don’t think I would feel good even if I had to fight again and win.”

Deus was troubled on the spot.
