Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 202

46. Keeping a promise made 10 years ago (3)

But Zeke did not give up.

Strength was added to the hand holding the shield.

I pulled out the cooking knife that was stuck at my side.

It was a weapon that could not even be compared to the Blue Rhino, but it was immediately imbued with the magic power and transformed into a divine sword.

“A hero does not break! A warrior does not back down! A warrior is not defeated

! From ancient times to the present, warriors have only thought about one thing. It’s a win. “Victory for humanity!”

Zeke shouted loudly.

He raised his bloody body upright and covered his front with a shield.

The eyes peering straight through the narrow gap felt a pressure that would suffocate even the Demon King.

“you are not alone!”

Someone shouted from afar.

A young warrior, his companions, and about 100 knights

rushed to the battlefield.

His name is Katran van Hollygum.

Deus knew one thing the moment he saw him.

The fear disappeared from my eyes.

He will be a force. A warrior who overcomes fear is strong.

Several knights and warriors crossed the line created by psychology and jumped into the battlefield.

“He couldn’t have betrayed humanity! “I will trust the Black Hero!”

A warrior shouted.

The number of friendly troops began to increase one by one,

quickly increasing to thousands.

The wizards began to cast strengthening magic on Zeke’s body.

Priests who could use divine power used recovery magic to heal Zeke.

The warriors stood shoulder to shoulder and the archers measured their arrows in their bows.

Humans unite around a hero. That is the true power of humanity’s victory.

Cadenza closed his eyes and took a long breath.

He was a high-ranking knight of the Seonghwangcheong government.

He could not overturn the decision of Seonghwangcheong on his own.

But…

what could be more important than the victory of humanity?

Oridon tapped Cadenza on the shoulder.

I turned my head and he opened his mouth.

“It may be a bit cowardly to say this, since I leave politics and all that up to you, but… I like Zeke.”

“I was the one who found Zeke first.”

“yes?”

“When we return, we must face the battlefield of politics with all our might.”

“I don’t think I’ll be able to go back if I lose anyway, right?”

Cadenza nodded.

The angels did not directly grant protection to Zeke. However, this did not stop some warriors from helping him.

“The Zodiac Knight will help the Black Warrior from this moment on.”

At his word, eight paladins rushed to the battlefield at once.

There were still people who felt resistant to joining forces with the Black Hero.

But many more people felt moved by Zeke’s battle.

The warriors surrounded the Demon King.

When I came face to face with him at close range, the fear returned as if cold water had been poured on me.

Still, the reason they didn’t run away was because of Zeke.

The warriors were able to gain courage because he was the closest person to confronting the Demon King.

The Demon King exploded with spirit.

The warriors all raised their shields and blocked the front.

Nevertheless, I was pushed back about 10 meters. The shoe prints made by the warriors on the floor drew a picture of radiation.

Deus swung his fist forward.

Zeke’s shield blocked his blow. Shock waves scratched the surrounding area as if galaxies were colliding.

The most outstanding warriors jumped in front of the shock wave. It was barely enough to neutralize the shock wave, but thanks to that

, it didn’t cause any damage

to the other warriors .

The magic of fire, water, lightning, and ice filled the air.

Dozens of energy bolts emitted a loud light and struck the Demon King’s body directly.

It was not easy to block it with just magic. Deus turned one of the two Shinigami Beasts on defense.

Hyeonmu transformed into scale armor and surrounded the Demon King’s body.

As a result, attacks were significantly reduced.

Although Zeke was extremely exhausted,

he was somehow able to withstand the devil’s attack.

Demon King vs. Heroes.

The scary battle lasted for over an hour.

Neither side could guarantee victory.

The power of the people united around Zeke was truly amazing.

If the demon army had not moved at the right time, the demon king might have been defeated.

A day given to us by Demon King Deus.

In the meantime, the demons reorganized their army.

Warriors from all over Hille, the land of demons, arrived at the demon castle one after another.

They rode on the fastest horse, rode on the back of the demon dragon, and gathered at Eidos.

The Demon King’s army, to which they were added, appeared before the human army under the command of the five dukes.

A melee broke out between the soldiers and the demons.

Most of the warriors who had been dealing with the Demon King returned to their base to deal with the Demon Nobles.

In particular, the power of the Demon Duke was outstanding.

Each one of them was capable of fighting on equal footing with over 100 dragons.

No matter how much the angel’s protection was there, there was no way the warrior could stop it alone.

Settle was tangled into nettle, and a fierce battle broke out between the two armies.

Countless humans and demons lost their lives.

By evening, the number of human troops had been reduced to 500,000.

The damage from the demons was by

no means less than that.

Zeke was barely able to even lift an arm. But he didn’t take a single step back.

Even though he was beaten and torn apart and rolled around on the floor, he never retreated.

I looked at Deus with bloodshot eyes.

Fear crept deep in Deus’ eyes like an abyss.

Every time I looked into those eyes, Zeke gained strength.

Now I knew what the source of that power was.

It’s like the power to resist the devil. All warriors had it, and Zeke had exceptionally strong anti-magic power thanks to his high level of pureblood.

What was clear was that I still gained courage every time I looked into his eyes.

The arms move again.

My legs kicked the ground with all their strength.

You can go.

You can move forward.

He pushed Deus’ body with his shield.

He stumbled slightly in shock.

That too is difficult.

He hurts too.

Zeke raised his short dagger upward and stabbed it.

A knife was stuck near the heart.

The Demon King let out a roar of anger. I pushed myself away with both hands.

Zeke was thrown to the floor.

I was so shocked that I fainted and vomited blood. But Zeke did not sit down. I got up again and held my sword tightly.

“Lord! My Lord! Please let me live just one more minute! “Let me live just one more minute until

the devil’s blood saturates the earth and can no longer threaten humanity !”

He prayed as if shouting and rushed into the arms of the Demon King again.

Deus seemed to get goosebumps looking at Zeke.

“good! “You are the best!”

I raised my fingernails and scratched Zeke’s shield. Even though it was protected by Suzaku’s power, the shield was torn and tattered.

It seemed like he couldn’t bear it any longer.

The first weapon Zeke got, Doom Thragun,

was broken and scattered to the floor.

Zeke fumbled with his back.

I looked for something to use as a shield, but couldn’t find anything suitable.

At that moment of panic, Deus’s attack came rushing in like a torrent.

I held the dagger with both hands and gathered all the strength of my body there.

Aura used the dagger as a medium to create a huge shield.

The aura created by Zeke fluctuated greatly due to Deus’ attack. In the end, it was broken without being able to block it, but the magic energy that the Demon King had extended had already faded away

.

The darkness is getting thicker.

Even the faint light has disappeared, and the light emitted by the volcano’s lava is as white as the moon.

The war between demons and humans has come to an end.

Because both sides suffered heavy damage, they decided to retreat regardless of who was first.

Tomorrow morning, no matter which side, we will definitely blow the trumpet of advance, but for that moment, we took a short break.

Even then, the

battle between Deus and Zeke was not over.

The battle had already been going on for a day and a half without even eating or drinking.

It was truly superhuman strength.

Deus’ fist hit Zeke in the face. I forcefully raised my forearm to block it, but my body was already completely tilted back.

The original strength was almost gone. It was the divine power of Suzaku and Blue Dragon that he now completely relied on.

Those divine beasts had energy that was close to infinite.

Deus, too, was almost at the bottom of his magic power.

Still, he is the devil. It was a being that transcended humans.

If Zeke had not had a few wizards and warriors attached to him, victory or defeat would have already been decided.

While Zeke was punched and retreated, the Zodiac Knight Cadenza broke in.

His sword, Juven Eshamari, was a magical sword that created a blade with divine power. He

stabbed Deus in the shoulder and knee repeatedly with

a thin rapier-shaped sword .

Deus glanced at him.

Then he pushed him away as if shaking him off.

It looked as if he was chasing a pesky fly.

In fact, except for Zeke, the remaining warriors were unable to inflict fatal wounds on Deus.

Besides, they were tired too.

As Deus, there was no way to crush Zeke and the remaining remnants at once.

However, this does not mean that the warriors are stronger,

and in the end, the fight just continues into a boring stalemate.

It was right then.

Someone suddenly appeared a little above the battlefield between the two and fell down.

Lying miserably on the ground was a woman whose lower body was covered in snake scales.

With snakes growing like hair, she stepped on the ground with all four arms and barely tried to get up before falling to the floor again.

She was none other than Jilsigong Bina, the lord of the snakes and the Naga dragons.

Deus supported her with a surprised face.

“you!”

“Lord… I’m sorry… Signi… He was taken away from me.”

Deus was not the only one surprised by the name Signi.

Zeke approached.

Without even forgetting that the Demon King, with whom she had been fighting for life and death just moments before, was right next to her, she rushed towards Bina and shouted.

“What do you mean? “Who is SIGNI!”

“Regin… he’s your younger brother.”

“Ah!”

Deus frowned and looked around.

A harsh gaze fell on Cadenza.

“It must have been a bucket. “Did you mobilize this army to save Signy?”

But soon he changed his words.

“No, it can’t be to save you. What are you planning? “What are you trying to use SIGNI for?”

Zeke looked at Bina.

Bina slowly opened her mouth with a tired face.

“It’s dangerous. He is trying to destroy… the sword on Signi’s back. To erase what is inside by destroying it where the light shines…

“No, that’s not it! “Where are they now?”

The place Bina pointed to with her hand was where there was a long spiral corridor leading to the Jose continent.

Zeke threw the dagger into the sky.

“Suzak! help me!”

The dagger took the shape of a bird. Zeke grabs his claws and soars into the sky

.

Bina grabbed Deus’ arm.

“My lord! My lord, you must hurry too. Lady Signi… I think she’ll start… soon. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been kidnapped…

“I see.”

Deus looked around from there.

Because of Zeke’s sudden departure, the warriors were left disorganized.

Some strong warriors were still holding their swords, but they could not hide the trembling of their tips.
