Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 49

———-

12. Holy Hwangcheong steps forward ⑴

Since Holyoke is of the same pure blood, he took care of Holy Jade as if he were a distant relative.

In fact, these were considerations that were vague enough to be called help. It was partly to save face.

It was thanks to the influence of the Holyoke family that this stall was able to be opened.

“Thank you, senior.”

“Oh no. This much is natural

. If you think about it, that giant…

“Senior Lexia inflicted a fatal wound. It was a truly excellent Geomagic attack. “The strongest special move of Holyoke swordsmanship.”

Deus nodded.

“That blow actually ended it. “The spinal cord was severed, and the giant collapsed to the ground.”

“Yes? I told you. Senior Lexia’s swordsmanship skills are beyond A-level.”

“is it? I don’t know. “The level of those low-level things seems to be just enough.”

Lexia glanced at Deus.

“To the merchant who only lives with his mouth!”

Before I knew it, Lexia had also taken a seat at the bar in the corner.

“What on earth are you? Why did you hide in Joryx Castle?”

“There is no particular identity.”

Deus ate the skewer in one go and put it into his mouth.

At that time, I saw Alex coming from the back of the alley carrying a bunch of grilled skewers.

It sold so well that even Alex volunteered to help.

Deus said something while looking at him.

“It’s stagnant… I guess it’s just that I started to think that living as a warrior’s companion isn’t a bad thing.”

Mondogni, the lord of Joryx Castle, was sitting crookedly in his chair.

He had a tired expression.

Kanadin, who was across from him, also let out a long sigh.

“That means…

There were several bones lying in the center of the huge table where Mondogne and Canadin were sitting across from each other.

However, its size was

nearly three times larger than that of a human bone, so one piece was the size of a large watermelon.

“This area was cut down in one fell swoop. I was lucky. “Because we were able to cut the spinal cord in one go by cutting through the pendulum sign, not the bone.”

“It’s not a story that can be concluded by luck. The bones of giants are much harder than those of humans. “It looks like the sword cut through here.”

What Mondogne pointed to was the protuberance of the vertebrae.

Even though it was a protrusion, it was about the thickness of a person’s arm. Cutting it down and

cutting off the spinal cord with a single knife was not an ordinary skill.

“Besides, it’s a familiar skill.” Canadin nodded.

“that’s right. “It’s a huge attack from the Holyoke family’s straight vision sword.”

“indeed. And you didn’t do it.”

“I see.”

“Lexia, that must be her skill.”

“That’s strange.”

Then I heard a third voice.

“It’s as expected.”

The place where the voice came from

was under the table.

A person crawled out from under the table. He hit his head on the corner with a thumping sound and patted his forehead noisily.

“Hahaha this is true.”

“Lord Cadenza.”

How old were you when you were twenty?

Cadenza was wearing a brownish cloth around his neck. He had round glasses on the tip of his nose and a magnifying glass in his hand.

I was dressed to make a strong statement that I was a scholar.

“It’s a subspecies of the Forest Giant family. As the name suggests, they live in forested mountains. Civilization ranged from stone tools to bronze tools. Sometimes servants wearing armor are found, but…

“Sir Cadenza. We’re okay with that. “Tell me what the grade is.”

In response to Lord Mondogne’s question, Cadenza raised his glasses and spoke.

“Within the top 3% among G-class. “It’s an elite species.”

“Then it’s almost like a D-class…

“Not really. This is because the distribution of monster grades

is not linear but has a staircase shape. “There is a clear difference between Group D and Group G.”

“But wouldn’t it be amazing if they were an elite species?”

“you’re right. Even if you are a G-class hero, there is a huge difference between the lower and higher ranks. If the upper ranks of G can hunt a giant with a party of less than 10 people, the lower ranks of G need support from a battalion level.” Cadenza bowed her head towards Canadine of the Holyoke family.

“Congratulations. Lady Ae

is one step closer to G-class. “If I gain a little more fame after turning 20, it won’t be difficult to be recognized as a G-class hero.”

Even while receiving congratulations, Canadin could not show his expression.

“It feels like ridicule.”

“That can’t be right.”

“The reason you came here…isn’t it because of my daughter?”

“That’s right.”

“So, what you are claiming now is…

Are you saying that Zeke’s version of Holy Bitch is a G-rank or higher hero?”

The scholar-looking man did not answer Canadin’s question.

Instead, he took a step forward and approached the giant’s vertebrae.

“I’m here to investigate. And then I saw something interesting.” Cadenza thought again about what he had seen on the walls that day.

“My lord.”

« o ”

hmm

“I found it.”

“Armpit hair?”

“Ha… it’s mold.”

“Growing in the armpits.”

“Do you really have to make it that dirty?”

“huh. Because it’s in your hand.”

Alex looked down at the black rope in his hand as if looking at a bug.

It has already been three days since the giant was defeated.

Meanwhile, Alex studied the giant’s armpit hair in his own private space in the basement of his house.

A lot of things grew just by maintaining

the appropriate temperature and humidity and keeping the room dark.

It was only 10 minutes ago that I found the mold I wanted in that disgusting pile of germs.

“how is it?”

“It’s similar. The overall code is similar to the mycelium embedded in the dragon. But…

“There’s no signature, right?”

“yes.”

“Did someone imitate Daroche and make it, or did Daroche himself erase his signature?”

“I will vote for the former. “There is no reason to suddenly remove the signature that has been stubbornly written down for 665 centuries.”

“The reason is, you can make whatever you want… The demon king system that was maintained for 665 centuries disappeared this time, right?”

“It’s not gone yet.”

“Anyway, how about the new glutton? “Is he also good at handling poisons and germs?”

“of course. “Because I inherited my father’s work well.”

“Do you have a habit of signing?”

“no. “I haven’t heard anything like that.”

“Then he is the culprit.”

“My lord.”

“why?”

“When I first discovered Daroche’s spores in the dragon’s body, I thought it was my master’s work.”

“Is that so?”

“yes. My lord said he would quit being the demon lord and left the demon world, but in reality, he was planning to overthrow the human world by concocting a scheme with Darosh…

“Is that possible?”

“That could be true.”

“Nothing, nothing.”

“How can you be so certain!”

“Has this kid run away from home?”

“It was my lord who ran away from home.”

“Not at all.”

“My lord.”

“Why are you holding the weight again?”

“If this is the work of the demon world… I won’t look into it any more.”

“why?”

“Because I can’t ruin my comrade’s work

. No, it’s as if it’s already been ruined. “That’s how Daroch left.”

“Well, now it’s just the Duke.”

“It’s Duke Six!”

“No matter what, we have to find out who did it.”

“Why should I look for it?”

“At least we need to find out if it was really the work of demons. “After that, do whatever you want, whether you keep your mouth shut or pretend not to notice.”

“Don’t forget that promise.”

“No matter how much you think about it, this is crazy

.”

“That’s the armpit of a giant…

“No matter how much I think about why someone would do something like this, I can’t find an answer. Making dragons attack humans and even giants…

Deus pushed his body back on his chair. The front legs of the chair lifted and made a beeping sound.

“What on earth is involved? why?”

“It’s a trivial question, but…

“Huh?”

“Isn’t the reason you killed Jin Geumyong because you thought she harmed Darochu?”

“yes.”

“Then it is normal for you to think that Jin Geum-yong is the culprit of this incident, but…

“Oh, I guess that was a mistake.”

“yes?”

“mistaken. misunderstanding.”

“Did you kill Jin Geum-yong because you were mistaken?”

« O ” Heh

“Are you trying to explain away the fact that you killed the god of a world by saying you’re sorry it was all a misunderstanding?”

“If that’s the case, what can be done?”

“The dragons wouldn’t have stayed still

.”

“Why don’t you attack me? “I think I can deal with up to 1,000 of them at once.”

Alex felt a shiver as he sat on the chair and blurted out the words as if it was no big deal.

“That’s right. “That is the devil’s spirit.”

He looked at his lord with an moved expression.

“Which bastard is playing tricks in the middle? Are you still human? For example… like Seonghwangcheong?”

“hello. “I am Cadenza, an investigator from the Seonghwangcheong.”

Deus frowned at the man holding out a plaque to prove his identity.

“Cadenza Pan Holy Peach. “Peach is the pitch of the peach tree.”

Zeke bowed his head next to Deus.

“Hello, Mr. Cadenza. I

feel…”

“I know. Zeke van Holwitsch. “I came to see you.”

“Me?”

“How long ago did you obtain Grade B?” “yes.”

“I wanted to find out more about that.”

Zeke was anxious when the inspector from the Seonghwangcheong suddenly brought up the topic of grade review.

“Why is that?”

“It’s no big deal. However, it is a unique case. I wouldn’t have been able to afford to spend 5 gold pieces on the Hollybitch family, but they suddenly did a rating review. In addition, I got a fairly high rank of B for my age, so

I had a very common sense suspicion that there might be some kind of corruption.”

“It’s not like rain or corruption.”

“That is something we will investigate gradually. “It’s not corruption, but there certainly seems to be some kind of absurdity.”

“Hey, are you an investigator or something?” Deus suddenly spoke.

“Yes Mr. Deus.”

“Do I know too?”

“I heard he’s a strange merchant who uses the name of an ancient god.”

“I’m glad you know better. Then get out. Don’t interfere with business. “It’s time to open the store

.”

“Oh, then shall I act as a guest? I just happened to need a travel dagger. “I lost my weapon when the giant came three days ago.”

“Was it there then?”

He smiled brightly when Deus asked him a question.

“Yes, I saw a lot that day.” Deus’ voice grew louder.

“Zeke!”

“Yes, Deus.”

“Accept guests. Absolutely rip off

.

“yes.”

Deus turned that way and returned to the inner room.

Meanwhile, Zeke led Kaden’s car to the dagger corner with a smile on his face.

“You may say harsh words, but you are a good person.”

“is that so?”

“You are like an angel to me.”

“What about it? “My first impression is that he seems closer to the devil.”

“You are not a kind person.”

“By the way, Mr. Zeke.”

“yes?”

“Is it okay if I visit you often?”

“Ah, but it’s work time now… Please come after 6pm.”

“When you start your stall.”

“yes. “The really free time is after 10 p.m., but I think I can deal with you after 6 p.m.”

“Yes, I will. Then, could you recommend a suitable dagger?”
