Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 215

49. A girl goes on an adventure (3)

Migo and Steffy arrived at the prison safely after a long time.

Migo took a deep breath and said to Steffy.

“There might be a battle from here. “Steffy doesn’t know how to fight, right?”

“huh. “I’ve only learned a little bit of recovery magic… I’m not good at that either.”

“If a fight starts, hide in a safe place.”

“okay. “It won’t hold you back.”

Migo smiled and stepped into the prison.

The city of charcoal workers replaced sunlight with street lights powered by coal gas.

It was always dark because coal was used for heating and power.

If the streets were like that, then the prison was nothing to talk about.

Since one could barely see one’s own hands and feet, it was not easy to find a specific person within them.

Nevertheless, Migo and Steffy were able to quickly reach the prison where Sadimus was located.

Among the people and dwarves currently in prison, only a few were misdemeanors.

Most of them were political prisoners who rebelled against Nezar’s rule, so they were very cooperative with Migo and Steffi.

As we went down two floors, the atmosphere became even more gloomy.

And there, for the first time, there was someone who blocked Migo.

He was a dwarf with a hook in one hand.

As before, Steffy came forward and spoke.

“Well, we’re on our way to clean up the prison right now.”

The dwarf tilted his head.

“cleaning? This is a place where people who have committed serious crimes are imprisoned. “I don’t need any cleaning, so go back.”

“I don’t know anything like that. “I just do what Ha-mun tells me.”

“If that’s the case, I know it well. “I will speak directly.”

“But…

the dwarf raised his hook and

struck the iron bars.

There was a cracking sound and sparks flew.

“Do you dare to rebel against the Baron?”

He also had a white belt around his waist.

In fact, managing a prison was not a job worthy of a nobleman.

This also meant that the people trapped below were important people.

“sorry. But I…

Migo’s hand slowly moved to the hilt of the sword.

At that time, Steffy shed tears

.

“Lowers like us get caught on both sides and get scolded all the time. I said I would tell Ha-moon, but I still got scolded. All I can do is sweep and clean this hallway, but you won’t even allow me to do that. Are you trying to make me die?”

“No, he…

The dwarf showed his embarrassment.

He cleared his throat and shook his head.

“I get it. Clean it up quickly and go. “This is a dangerous place.”

Steffy wiped away her tears and smiled broadly.

“Thank you!”

Steffy held Migo’s hand as they walked to the end of the hallway.

“You tried to take out the knife earlier, right?”

“ O ”

o.

“You can’t do that. Force is the last resort. Zeke always said that. It is better to avoid arguments as much as possible. That is why, after being excommunicated, he took refuge in Neuekan.”

“You like Uncle Zeke.”

“We all did that. I respected you more than I liked you. Most of the people who lived in Neuekan fled the kingdom. “They said that my parents also lost their lives due to a minor mistake while tending the lord’s crops, so they hid in Neuekan.”

“I want to meet you soon.”

“Will he really come back alive?”

“huh. Mom was like that too. He died once in battle with the Demon King, but was resurrected.”

“I’ve heard that story too.” The two girls took a few turns in the hallway and

headed deeper.

There was a large auditorium on the lowest floor of the prison.

There are several small prisons there.

Migo frowned as soon as she entered the dark room.

“It’s a barrier.”

“What is it?”

“Do you see the crystal pillar standing against the wall over there? “The power of the crystal pillar is preventing you from using magic in this room.”

“Then it’s probably because of Sadimus.

“His dark magic is amazing.”

At that time, a voice was heard from inside the prison.

“Who is saying my name?”

“Hey, I’m Steffy. You may not remember, but…

I heard someone else’s voice.

“Steffy. Just remember.”

Hong’s main man｝Jushak was the owner of the second voice.

Both Sadimus and Jushak’s voices lacked strength. It was

because I didn’t eat properly

.

“Jyushaq! Are you okay?”

Steffy approached the first prison cell.

Migo followed after her.

Jusak was in a prison surrounded by thick iron bars. He was sitting in front of a pile of straw with his shirt off.

The only bathroom was a hole in the floor, and it was full of a terrible smell.

There were traces of beatings all over his body, and one finger had disappeared somewhere

.

Across from the prison where Jushak was imprisoned, there was another main knight, Silver Actor.

He was an excellent knight who used a hammer as his specialty, but now he was missing an arm.

I was just sitting there with no energy and sighing.

Migo frowned at the sight of the two.

There were two more prison cells inside. Among them

, I made eye contact with a mage who was trapped in a

special iron window that suppressed magical power .

“Who are you…? This is a kid I haven’t seen before. But…

Steffy spoke to the mage Sadimus.

“do not be surprised! “She is Signy’s daughter.”

“that’s right! It looks just like her. but!”

“Where is Lakhe?”

When Steffy asked again, Sadimus pointed across the street with his eyes.

Unlike the other three people, Lakhe

was inside a steel structure with all four rooms tightly closed.

Because she could escape with even a small gap, Nezar created a special prison to imprison her.

Sadimus looked at Migo intently.

“You are Signi’s daughter?”

” that’s right.”

“But how… Ah! Could it be that the lump on her back was you?”

” that’s right.”

The other two main knights also looked at Migo with curiosity.

“You grew up on her back for ten years…

“Your 11th birthday was just yesterday.”

“I see! “It’s really amazing.” Sadimus seemed to have an ominous premonition passing through his mind at this moment.

“Wait a minute, then my father… No way!”

“Yulgeum told me not to talk about my father.

“Is he with you too? “But why are you the only one?”

“I am the only one who was captured by Nezar.” “Does Yulgeum know that too?”

“Yulgeum fought against Nezar and was defeated.”

“That can’t be possible!”

Sadimus let out an exclamation of surprise.

The other two main knights did not know who Yulgeum was, but Sadimus clearly knew her identity.

“How…

“It’s probably because I held back.”

“Even so, he… Sadimus trailed off.

I never thought Nezar

would become strong enough to fight against Yulgeum!

There was a long sigh of regret.

I should have been more wary of Nezar.

Zeke entrusted Nezhar’s recruit to Teryan and themselves, but was careless and allowed him to grow into a monster.

“I want it back! If I go back to that time, I will never leave Nezar alive! But since you’re locked up in prison like this…

“I’ll take you out. “Please step back.”

Sadimus

shook his head at Migo’s words.

“This prison is made of special iron.”

“I can cut!”

Migo pulled out a sword in front of him.

“Zeke’s knife?”

Sadimus reacted to Migo’s sword.

Come to think of it, I had modified the wok into a shield and was wearing it around my waist.

Migo stood in front of the bars holding a long kitchen knife straight up.

Then, black light erupted from her body and began to encroach on the surroundings

.

Jushak, who was in the cage next to him, shouted in surprise.

“Oh come on!”

An 11-year-old kid uses an aura. Even the powerful wavelength seemed to be much higher than that of a D-class blood.

The sword fell like lightning and the bars suddenly broke.

She used her momentum to destroy Jushak and Actor’s prisons.

Sadimus runs out of prison. He moved outside the barrier created by the crystal

and raised his hands to both sides.

“Emerkia!”

An ice spear was summoned and flew towards the crystal.

In an instant, the crystal shattered and the barrier blocking the magic disappeared.

He immediately memorized recovery magic and healed the two main knights.

Although the severed fingers or arms could not grow back, strength returned to the weakened body.

Immediately after that, changes occurred in the fourth prison.

There was a crunching sound and the iron plate shot out.

After several collision sounds, the prison was destroyed.

A huge amount of tree vines also poured out, creating a green carpet on the floor.

A woman rose from one of the piles.

“The magic power is back! “What happened?”

She looked around and made eye contact with Migo.

” you?”

“I’m Migo, Signi’s daughter.”

“Signi’s daughter has been born! “I was with you right before I gave birth to you.”

“I heard about it from my mom.”

“Zeke? Where are you now? Are you still on the battlefield of the demon world?”

“no. “Uncle Zeke… is dead.”

At those words, Lake’s soul drained from his expression.

“What?”

“Don’t be so surprised. “Dad

is going to the underworld to pick up Uncle Zeke now, so he will be resurrected.”

“ah! yes! “He had that power.”

Lakhe sighed in relief and nodded.

“Besides, even if he were a Shinigami, he wouldn’t dare take Zeke with him. “Because I acquired two of the Four Divine Beasts as subordinates and became incredibly strong.”

Lakhe said this and stretched out his hand towards Migo.

A beautiful bouquet was born in Lakhe’s hands.

“I also wanted to see you being born

. Belated congratulations. “I’m glad you came to this world.”

“thank you. “It just so happened that yesterday was my birthday

.”

Although it was Migo’s first time seeing people like Lakena and Sadimus, he felt a sense of familiarity with them.

She grew up on Signi’s back for 10 years.

Although it was in a state of deep sleep that could not be called a fetus, all of its sense organs had been formed.

I grew up listening to everyone’s voices like a kind of prenatal education, so I was subconsciously familiar with it

.

Lakhe immediately grew several fruits on the branches.

It was to be distributed to Jushak and Actor.

As their hunger and thirst subsided, Jushak and Actor’s expressions also improved.

Hector said, hitting his knee with his only fist.

“A guy who won’t mind chewing! “It’s just that Korea and Japan lack strength!”

As Actor said,

it would not be easy to fight and win against Nezar with just the people present.

Jushak said.

“How about we get out first and gather some people? Even though Migo is strong, it will be difficult for him to be Nezar’s opponent.”

Sadimus also nodded slowly.

Lakhe said.

“Then I’ll dig a tunnel. “Even if it’s difficult, I think it’s the best.”

Everyone spoke in approval.

Lakhe’s roots were firmly planted in the ground

. The speed at which she moved through the ground alone was much faster than that of a courser.

But digging a tunnel large enough for people to pass through was a slightly different story.

Little by little, the ground was dug out to create a cave.

Sadimus and Meego Steffy followed behind, while Jushak and Actor guarded the rear.

After walking for a full day, a light came on from above.

It came up to the ground.
