Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 315

71. The One with the Red Heart (3)

The ones standing at the front were the Knights of the Erion Federation’s Blue Whale Warriors.

He wielded a long spear and swung his horse whip to pierce the demons’ backs.

But suddenly the horse stopped walking.

As if he had encountered an invisible wall, he suddenly stopped moving forward and immediately took a step backwards.

The knights

kicked the sides with the spurs of their horses.

But the horse didn’t stop walking backwards. There were even knights who got off the horse’s back because it was turning its head as it wanted.

“Is this crazy? Come on?”

“That’s what I said too.”

“But was this road originally this… dark?”

“The clouds…

the knights looked at the sky.

There wasn’t a single cloud.

However, the blue sky lost its saturation and became gray.

It was as if his life had been taken away. Even the sun lost its original light.

The 10,000 towers that had sparkled like obsidian just moments ago felt eerie.

It looks as if the skinny joints are stretching their arms towards the sky.

The knights grabbed their weapons again at the eerie sight.

Then, in an instant, something appeared in my field of vision.

It was a man.

He was sitting in a rocking chair made of white bone, resting his chin.

Beep beep beep.

Beep beep one.

The chair swayed in the wind and the man nodded along with the sound.

The knights pointed their weapons at him.

“Who are you!” “Reveal your identity!”

The man yawned briefly as if he was bored, then shifted his crossed legs and opened his mouth.

“Being alive is boring. That’s probably why you’re running at me.”

“Crazy guy. What kind of bullshit is this? “Are you a noble from the demon world?”

The man saw the article.

The man smiled as if it were invisible. The moment he felt that, the knight’s head separated from his body and fell to the ground.

“Courage and rudeness may actually be the same thing. The only difference is whether you have the ability to protect your life. “You little creatures, do you have any skills?”

The knights did not see how their comrade died.

That means the enemy’s skills are amazing. They alone were not enough. A warrior was needed.

One of the knights fired a signal into the sky.

The magic created a long tail and spread red light.

As if in response, blue light surged up from nearby.

Light in the sky created special patterns.

It was a picture of a bull with long horns sticking out.

The knights stepped back and increased the distance between them and the man. He was still sitting on his white-bone throne with a bored expression on his face,

paying no attention to the

fleeing knights.

It took only 1 minute for the Zodiac Knight of Taurus to arrive.

But to the knights, that time felt like an eternity.

They just pray to God because they never know when that man will act on his whim and take their lives.

“My name is Harmodil van Hollibur Tsch! It’s Taurus Paladin! My holy spear, Elnath, will take your life, so repent! “That is the only way to the kingdom of God.”

The man was still sitting in his seat.

I greeted one of the most powerful Holy Knights in the human world with a look that said he was just like you.

But he had every right to be arrogant.

The man’s name is Deus.

He is the current Demon King.

Harmodil felt something unusual about the atmosphere.

Without hesitation, he held the holy spear Elnath and the sacred shield Aldebaran tightly. I summoned the power of the aura and surrounded my entire body.

The guardians of the constellation spread out.

Harmodil spoke to his companions in a low voice.

“Be careful. “I feel an unusual energy.”

Deus looked at him.

Harmodil felt intimidated by those cold eyes.

Endured the Crusade of Horsetail Woods Forest. Even in the battle to conquer the demon world a year ago, he overcame all his fears.

But at this moment, Harmodil felt like he was going to be eaten out of fear.

The back of my neck itched.

The black soul tightened his heart and made him suffer.

Die.

If this continues, I will die.

I mustered up courage. Hero is a name that only courageous people can have.

The priests’ holy magic poured into the warrior’s body.

Greater strength, faster speed, agility, endurance, mental strength, and even magical power.

All abilities surged to their limit.

The fear faded.

Strength and courage are inseparable. Justice without

power was bound to break quickly.

I deployed my colleagues with a magic signal.

As someone holding a shield, he was always at the forefront.

A warrior armed with a crossbow took cover between buildings, while an assassin with a poisoned dagger waited for opportunity in the shadows.

Everything was perfect.

The wizard’s powerful magic will be enough to confuse the enemy.

If the power of this aura is added…

“Victory to the Kingdom of God!”

The moment the echo of those words ended. All life there was lost.

All that remains is the Demon King Pu on the White Bone Throne.

“The price you pay for the false victory you gained is your own life. “Enter your profit and loss account in hell.”

Contact with Zodiac Knight Harmodil has been lost.

There was always some kind of communication line open between wizards.

No matter how far away it was, at least

I could guess the location of the room and make a call.

Despite all kinds of disturbing magic, the line was unbroken.

The fate of the old army, which lost contact, was death.

Ascaron’s leader, Cadenza van Holy Peach, summoned his comrade Oridon.

This was because he felt ominous about losing contact with Harmodil.

“It looks like we finally received a request for support from the Blue Whale Warriors’ vanguard unit.”

After hearing Cadenza’s explanation of the situation, Oridon

shifted his gaze to the depths of Mado Eidos.

A steeple rising like a rose thorn caught my eye.

“You mean…you were killed in battle?”

“It is highly likely.”

“Does that mean the Seven Dukes themselves came forward? Or the devil?”

“There are unclear rumors spreading among our enemies.”

“Are you saying that the Demon King has recently changed?”

” yes.”

“There must have been a coup. “As far as we know,

the new Demon King appears to have been a young girl since she was 666 years old, so she probably had no power.”

“He was a puppet sent by the king of giants named Nezar. “Given that the giants’ movements have noticeably decreased recently, it seems that their power has also weakened for some reason.”

“Their kingdom was under the continent of Jose, wasn’t it? “Because the continent fell, their kingdoms all collapsed as well.”

“The staff seems to be judging that way, but…

“They seem to be worried about ‘him’.”

“If Zeke and Regin had been here, I think we would have had more time.”

“If you have different opinions, you are not comrades. “We may be friends, but we may not be comrades.”

Cadenza closed his mouth tightly and looked ahead.

I kept having ominous thoughts.

At that moment, the avant-garde wizard Libro, the guardian of Libra, spoke with a pale face.

“It appears that 10,000 of the vanguard troops were killed. “Lord Romard of Aquarius has also lost contact.”

The vanguard was the United Knights of the Federation of Erion, the Big Whale Warriors.

10,000 refers to all of the Blue Whale warriors who participated in this war.

In other words, it was annihilated.

Cadenza shouted.

“All troops stop! It looks like we are facing a powerful enemy. Prepare your battle lines and strengthen your defense lines. “We must not fall for hasty provocations.”

Messengers carried messages in all directions. Now that there was a lot of disruptive magic, it was most accurate to hand over orders between troops in person.

Because of this, it took quite a while for the large army of up to a million people to stop.

And in the meantime, thousands of troops lost their lives for unknown reasons.

An ominous rumor circulated among the human army.

There is only one enemy.

And his name is Demon King.

Cadenza and Oridon, commanders of Ascaron, advanced side by side toward the vanguard.

The only ones who could calm the commotion were the warriors.

But they were powerless to stop the commotion.

The moment Cadenza discovered the enemy sitting on the white skull throne, she felt despair.

“Was the dream sweet? “You naked kings of a foolish country.”

Cadenza’s fingertips trembled at Deus’ smile.

“It was you, after all.”

“These are familiar faces.”

“long time no see. But it’s hard to say I’m glad to meet you even with empty words.”

“Honestly, I don’t even remember your name.”

“Because that’s what you are.”

“yes?”

Deus smiled and opened his mouth again.

“Then I’ll give you a choice. Everyone commit suicide. “Or I’ll kill you all.”

Cadenza took a deep breath.

To be honest, his appearance was unexpected.

Deus was an abandoned king.

The dukes of the demon world came together to dethrone him and made the young girl their puppet queen.

I couldn’t find out the details.

Everyone involved hid the truth.

Only a handful of people knew that Migo was Signy’s daughter.

Could it really be possible for a deposed king to leave everything behind to help his country?

Rather, it would be more natural to hold a grudge and side with humans.

But he is right in front of you now. It became the biggest obstacle.

Cadenza looked at him again.

It is a powerful being. But…

humans are strong too!

The Cadenza wizard fired a signal.

Numerous colors embroidered the sky like firecrackers.

It was a signal to be used when confronting the Demon King.

The rear army retreated and the warriors

gathered in one place. They were A-level or higher warriors who were helpful to the military.

There were 300 warrior families of A rank or higher.

Each family dispatched one or more warriors to this war.

300 warriors.

Moreover, many of them were those who received angelic protection.

He was a warrior close to generation zero who could use the power of aura.

A number of warriors, wizards, warriors, archers, and priests that could not match the power of the Demon King surrounded the streets.

At its peak is Zodiac Night.

Because two people died in this war and Leo Paladin Regin was missing, there were only six, but that was enough.

Joe Deak Knight, who infinitely surpasses D-class, surrounded the Demon King’s white bone throne in a semicircle.

Until everyone came together, Deus just looked straight ahead with indifferent eyes.

Sometimes I even yawned.

The warriors thought that leisure was bluff.

It was natural.

300 warriors and their companions.

All the warriors at the peak of the Joseon continent gathered together.

Looking at colleagues standing side by side, who can think of the two words ‘defeat’?

It was Reditz van Holycomilia, the owner of the shrine Spica, who fired the shot.

His crossbow fired an aura like a flash of lightning and aimed at Deus’ collar.

That wasn’t all.

The long-distance weapons moved in unison.

Bows, crossbows, and other things fell like rain.

The arrow covered with aura was capable of piercing even a rock.

At the same time, the wizards moved.

Dazzle and illusion fire and ice.

Gravity flipped over and the earth boiled.

Energy with no known limits was concentrated, and the area where Deus was located was distorted like a haze.

The warriors waited for Deus’ counterattack at the very front.

Their existence itself

became the courage of humanity.

Confidence that you can win.

Feeling a sense of elation that was almost like faith, people launched even stronger attacks.

In that brief moment, the people present even thought of this.

—It seems like he could kill even a god.

Did that arrogance make God angry?

Black wings soared all the way to the sky and attacked people.

It cracked like the devil’s palm, and everyone who was crushed by it lost their lives.

In an instant, up to a quarter of the warriors

died.

In just one attack.

It was impossible for any warrior to resist that absolute violence.

Death is just death.

It was nothing more and nothing less.

I learned cadenza for the first time today.

That there are beings in this world that should never be touched.
