Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 34

——-

8. Fighting with the Dragon God (4)

The hero was Zeke. He was the leader of the team, but his advantage was that he seemed like he would carry Deus’ bag.

Deus’ title was a merchant and Alex was a butler.

It’s not a job that is necessary for a warrior party, but it’s enough because I’m satisfied with it.

Yulgeum, who recently participated, was a wizard. She defined herself

as a beautiful wizard.

The team sat around a table in the back of the weapons shop.

“What happened all of a sudden?”

Yulgeum yawned and asked.

“I stayed up late at night making herbal cream that would make your skin grow new. “If it’s not a big deal, I’d like to go back and sleep.”

“A crisis is coming.” Deus abruptly interrupted her.

“What crisis?”

“Anyway, it’s coming.”

“What kind of prank is this again?”

Yulgeum turned his eyes to Alex.

“You registered as a hero, but you seem to be disappointed that you didn’t do anything.”

“Ha, if that’s the case, I’d like to go to sleep.” “no. “It’s a hero’s party too.” “What do you want to do?

“First, we should go to the hero management office. “It would be better to do something with a higher pay.”

“You’re making enough money, right?”

“Because it’s different from what you earn through business.”

Deus said this and took everyone with him to the hero management office.

Led by Zeke in full armor, the other three were in everyday clothes.

They attracted enough attention just by walking down the street.

Zeke kept trying to hide behind Deus, perhaps because his gaze was a little awkward.

“Now then, what should I do… I guess I should choose a B-level job, right?”

Deus stood at the request bulletin board divided into four sections and looked through the notes posted there.

“A pack of wolves in the wilderness. Yetis of the northwest mountains. Merman of the North Coast…. Merman Ira.”

“They are a ferocious underwater species. It is about 2 meters tall and its main weapon is a trident. “On days when the sun is not strong, they come up to the ground and attack people.”

Deus listened to Alex’s clear explanation and looked at the request in detail.

“A group of Mermen have appeared in Jabil Village and are causing mischief. “Isn’t it the perfect thing for a warrior to do?”

Zeke, who made eye contact, scratched his head and said.

“Of course, that’s true, but…

Zeke looked at Yulgeum’s eyes with a frown.

From earlier, Yulgeum didn’t seem to be in a good mood.

Aside from being tired, he seemed upset that his opinion was ignored. The expression on his face said that if it were a hero game, you could just play it among yourselves.

When Zeke looked at him pitifully, Yulgeum changed his mood with a sigh.

“If you decide to do it, you should do it right. “Okay Merman, let’s go.”

Jabil village was about 50 kilometers north of Joryx Castle.

After traveling leisurely for about two days in a carriage pulled by four horses, the smell of the sea began to waft from afar.

But it wasn’t just the scent of the sea. Acrid smoke was billowing from a distance.

“Home smells good. “Looting is followed by arson.”

Deus said this while shaking his crossed legs.

Zeke, who was sitting in the coachman’s passenger seat, looked into the distance with a worried expression.

“Would it be okay? It looks like the Mermen are attacking the village again…

“It happens often, so they probably know how to defend themselves. But why did Merman start the fire? “Since it lives in the water, doesn’t it mean you hate fire?”

Alex received Deus’ words.

“You have a keen opinion.”

His curiosity was quickly answered.

It was not the Merman who started the fire, but the villagers.

In each large passage, carts loaded with straw and wood were set up and set on fire. It seemed like it was to prevent Merman attacks.

There were about 10 Mermen in total attacking the village.

It was large and its bulky muscles looked very strong.

The trident he was holding glowed gold.

Just looking at the strange light coming from the window made me feel like my strength was draining away. It seems to be a magic window.

“Wizard lady.”

“why?”

“How strong are those guys?”

“…Are you asking because you don’t know?”

“I’m not sure.”

“How could you not know?”

“It’s too weak to calculate.”

“Anyway, it’s dull.”

Merman’s power was smaller than the smallest scale on Deus’ power scale.

Of course, Mermen were much stronger than humans, but it was the same as humans being unable to distinguish between the strength of ants and grasshoppers.

“What specifically do you want to know?”

Deus lowered his voice.

“Can Zeke do it alone?”

” alone?”

“huh.”

“why? You were the one who gathered the people and brought them in, right? “When you got here, did it start to bother you?”

“Hahaha, I thought it would be more fun to just lay down on the beach.”

“I said it was really bad.”

Deus ignored Yulgeum’s words and spoke to Zeke.

“ruler! Then, warrior, go and fight.”

“yes?”

“Go.”

“Are you talking about me alone?”

“yes. Then should I fight? “I am a merchant.”

Zeke turned his eyes and looked at Alex.

“I am a butler.”

Yulgeum said, glaring at Deus with an angry face.

“I will help you.”

“Thank you, Yulgeum!”

“No, I have to handle this alone. Zeke Think about it carefully. Is growth as a hero what you want? Or

is it the life of a scoundrel who makes easy money by relying on the power of others?”

“Isn’t this too extreme? “How can it be bullies for parties to fight together?”

“Zeek, be honest with your heart.”

“yes?”

“Do you have the courage to face the Mermen alone?”

Zeke saw the village at the bottom of the hill burning.

When I saw the deep blue scales of the mermen’s backs, my spine went numb.

” that.

“A hero is someone who leads everyone. With the heart of a hero given by heaven, party members are bound to follow and rely on him. But now it’s the opposite, right? “If you rely on us, you’re being treated like a sheep.”

Zeke couldn’t find anything to say to Deus’ words.

I bowed my head.

“You are correct.” I was embarrassed.

A warrior relies on his comrades!

Deus was a merchant(?) strong enough to go one-on-one with a dragon.

Yulgeum also had an unusual energy.

Even Alex, the fighting butler, seemed much stronger than himself.

Because they were there, I had no worries when I saw the group of Mermen. And the first thought that occurred to me was that it was unreasonable to say that no one was helping.

Zeke looked at Deus.

“I… I thought wrong. If you are a dragon, you must first muster courage and give strength to your comrades… If you try to rely on the strength of your comrades, you are disqualified as a warrior.”

“Yes, that is the attitude.”

“I will do it! You can. Thank you, Deus. “For teaching me the attitude of a true warrior.”

“You just need to know. “Go away.”

“Yes Deus!”

Zeke looked straight into Deus’ eyes.

Several times I have had the courage to make the impossible possible just by looking into his eyes.

can do.

You have to do it.

I

have excellent weapons called Doom’s Lagoon, Doom’s Rhino, and Doom’s Gauntlet!

Zeke jumped out of the carriage.

He took out his shield, put it on his left arm, and grabbed his sword with his right hand.

“Aaaah!”

He ran.

Although he was a B-class hero, his behind was fierce.

“and! “It was really mean.”

A table was placed on the sandy beach and chairs were set up.

There were two cups of coffee chilled

with ice on the table .

The butler, Alex, was standing politely and serving the owner’s tea.

The village, only about 500 meters away, was making desperate efforts to prevent Merman attacks, but the scenery here was no different from that of any summer resort.

“Don’t you feel sorry for Zeke?”

“But you also just said that, right? “It’s iced black coffee.”

“Because it’s already been decided.” Squeak.

I drank coffee with a bamboo straw.

The strong scent of coffee filled Yulgeum’s nostrils.

“I didn’t leave it alone because I thought I could win on my own.”

“Well, Zeke-kun’s physical abilities aren’t that great, but his armor is so deceptive. It will work out somehow. The Blue Rhino I handed over is also a sword suitable for use by a D-rank hero.”

“Now I’ve changed my name to Doomsrino. “I’m in the

process of matching the Dooms series

.”

“Then that’s it, right?”

“at all. “What on earth did you come here for?”

“Now look.”

” what?”

“The blue sea breaking white on the shore.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“And clear skies. “The sun shines sharply on the world.”

“A faint salty smell and crunchy sand. A low sound made by waves breaking.

And the chirping of seabirds can be heard in between.”

“So what is that?”

“I feel relaxed just by being here.”

” Hey.”

” hmm?”

“You are relaxed even in the busiest shopping mall inside the main street of the castle. “Why are you feeling so relaxed again?”

“Don’t fret, Lady. Because life is long.”

“You have nothing to say, right?”

“What do you mean?”

“Because when you say random things, it means you are at a loss for words.”

“Hahaha, that can’t be possible.”

Deus shrugged his shoulders and raised his palms.

“Then shall we take a look and see how well our leader is fighting?”

Deus turns his eyes towards the village.

It was quite a distance, but to him who had the Devil’s Eyes, the physical distance meant nothing.

Zeke was now surrounded by villagers

.

“The hero has arrived!”

“I thought I was abandoned by Seonghwangcheong…. God! thank you!”

A 14-year-old boy holding a sword and shield.

It would have been easy to ignore him, but the fact that he was poorly armed and alone made the villagers’ expectations inflated.

Seeing as he’s trying to take on Merman alone, he must be a very talented person!

In response to that unfounded belief, the village elder stretched out his hands and held Zeke’s hands

.

“Hero Zeke. Please save this village from evil!”

“I will do my best!”

Zeke clenched his fists and looked at the villagers.

The simple people of the fishing village caught my eye.

They would have relied on the grace of the sea to catch fish.

They were sincere people who lived hard for countless hours, holding small parties during times of good catches and praying to God during times of bad catch.

There was no reason for my life to be trampled by monsters that I didn’t know were Mermen or anything.

Monsters may attack humans at will, but humans’ only lives are completely ruined.

A fire ignited in my heart.

I will punish evil for the sake of the village people!

Zeke’s shield cried.

The sword trembled.

It was a response to the strong feelings of its owner.

There was a dark blue glow, and the sword, shield, and gloves radiated magical light.

The villagers cheered again at the sight.

What a magic weapon!

It was not something that just anyone could have, no matter how much of a warrior he was.

Even among A-class warriors, it was not easy to obtain one or two magic weapons unless you were at the highest level.

To have three such magical weapons on one person!

“The warrior opens the way! Men, raise your harpoons!”

“Oooooot!”
