Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 242

55. Obtaining the Key to Victory (4)

“Did you plan on getting paid?”

“No one would think it was free. Since we are paying wages to the dwarfs, we should use that as an excuse to talk about money.”

“It’s detailed.”

“huh. “I like being deceived, but I hate being deceived.”

“I forgot for a moment that you were a devil. “That’s my failure.”

“No, I haven’t even started.” Deus’ fist stuck in Scatiel’s abdomen.

Skathiel let out a short gasp and fell forward.

I kicked him as he sat down and sent him flying far away.

Scatiel, who was lying in the air, regained his balance by moving his wings.

I patted the spot where I had just been hit.

“Are you venting your anger? I still have this bitterness…

“If you have time to flutter, why don’t you raise your arm and stop it? Don’t let that pretty

face get smashed.”

Deus closed the distance in an instant and aimed at Scatiel’s chin with his right fist.

Scottiel’s body spun around.

Wings of light wrapped around his body. A cocoon-like shield blocked Deus’ fist.

Taking advantage of the opportunity where the strike failed, Scatiel’s toes aimed at Deus’s pole.

Deus blocked Scatiel’s foot with his left palm, but at that moment, Scatiel bent his knees and changed the trajectory of the kick.

Deus folded his arm and struck the opponent’s shin with his elbow.

However, Scottiel’s kick was truly a miracle.

The trajectory changed once again, and the toe that was aiming upwards flipped over and hit the waist.

In the end, Deus was hit with one of his kicks.

Of course, there was almost no damage. There was quite a difference in power between Scott El and Deus.

“The angel’s speculation is also plausible.” As Deus laughed, Scottie El raised one finger and swore.

“If my strength had been intact, it wouldn’t have ended as well as it could have.”

“If you think that I will fall for such a childish provocation and help you regain your power… you saw it right away. “What do I need?”

“Rosario.”

“Where is it?”

“I have a bag in my dorm that I always carry with me.”

“hang on. “Did you say Elderum?”

Scottiel nodded once. It took less than a minute for

Deus to leave the barrier and come back.

Deus said after throwing the bag.

“Then shall we begin the second round?”

“I don’t know what you want, but I will make it clear to you that I am not an easy person.”

“You will have to do your best, servant of God!”

Scatiel’s Rosario glowed and turned into a sharp sword.

Symbols of Hyeonmu and White Tiger appeared on both of Deus’ fists.

Both sides’ preparations for battle were completed.

It felt as if even the particles filling the space had stopped vibrating due to the tension.

The two forces, Ma Yeong-gi and Cheontu-gi, expanded their influence. They encroached on each other’s territory and unleashed harsh black lightning.

Immediately after that, the two beings disappeared without a trace.

To be precise, it’s just not visible.

No human being would be able to see their movements.

Power and strength clashed.

The cross sword containing the fighting spirit became one with Scottiel

himself. It became a ray of white light and cut down Deus’ body.

Deus swung his two fists and destroyed and encroached upon Skatiel’s airspace.

It shattered the space dominated by Cheontugi and reduced the orbit in which he could move.

The white lines drew several curved ovals.

Scottiel did not defend himself. His fighting method is to break through by one point, aiming for the enemy’s life.

Offense itself is defense.

The number of ovals gradually decreased.

It was because the air space was taken over by Deus.

When there was only one circle left, Deus made his first proper attack.

The tip of Scatiel’s sword touched Deus’ main prey.

The power of the two beings collided, and a huge amount of light spewed out in a spindle shape.

An energy wave like the flame of a big bang shook the barrier enclave created by Deus.

The shock wave disappeared, leaving Scatiel coughing up blood.

Deus said, placing his hand on the back of his head.

“I won.”

“Are you going to kill me?”

” you?”

“Otherwise, there would be no reason to confine me to a space like this.”

“Confinement and torture are my hobby.

”

“What are you aiming for?” Scottiel asked.

But no answer came back. This

was after Mideus left this barrier space.

Rosario’s cross sword was inserted into the ground.

“damn!”

Scottiel’s angry words rang out loudly.

Deus returned to Hollis Findle Castle with light steps.

My middle finger was tingling. It seemed to be the place where Scottiel’s blow was received.

He snorted and recalled the fight.

Things that were vague were sorted out one by one.

Yulgeum said something to Deus, who returned to the store with a happy smile.

“Where are you wandering around? “Come quickly and pick off the bean sprout heads.”

“Puh-ha, what’s going on today? “He rolls up his sleeves and gets to work.”

Wearing a scarf and an apron, Yul Geum was trimming bean sprouts.

“Things on the Rosdia side have gotten a little busy. “I sent the two main knights and Sadimus Raque there, and only I and Signy were left.”

“Sadimus and Lakhe? “Do you think we need a wizard?”

“huh. Sadimus is well versed in Silver Age black magic, so he’s not the kind of person who would actually spend his days eating in a place like this. “Lake is also familiar with unique magic systems.”

“Well, magic plants aren’t that common.”

“The two main drivers have extensive combat experience, so they are suitable for testing weapons.”

“Aren’t the best ones actually Zeke and you? “Signi’s sacred magic is also excellent.”

“We will go and come back too. I have to go there and work overtime as soon as the business is over .

“If it weren’t for the customers who had reservations, we would have closed down our business for a day!”

Deus sat across from Yulgeum. Yulgeum grumbled and said something. “Where did Scatul go anyway?”

“huh? why’?”

“That guy would be a lot of help. Is he still at Horsetail Woods? “Shouldn’t you report where you are?”

“Are you looking at me funny?” “Well, we’ve already seen each other

. “Would an angel respect a demon lord who was driven out?”

“What you see is that you’re a butler, right?”

Deus deliberately expressed his dissatisfaction strongly.

“A butler is not a slave, is he?”

“Anyway, that guy lacks the basics of being a butler.”

“I think you also lack something as a master.”

“Whose side are you taking?”

“If you had to ask me which side I would take, I would take Scatul’s side.”

“I’m saying this is not a good thing because of the delay in academic ties

. “Are you going to protect me because I’m from the same side?”

At that time, Signy brought a colander of bean sprout water.

Deus was fed up looking at the mountain of bean sprouts.

“Are you still there?”

“This is the last time. “I will help you too, so don’t be angry.”

“Someone got angry…

Deus trailed off and tore off the head and tail of the bean sprout.

A huge amount of bean sprouts

piled up on the cooking table.

Deus was sitting in the kitchen and watching the amazing scene.

What on earth are those bean sprouts made of, so they disappear if you put them in a fire?

Even if the wok is full, only one plate remains after stir-frying.

When I saw that the bean sprouts that I had trimmed all day were gone in just one or two hours, I said something.

“Those who say vegetables are cheaper than meat don’t know how to cook, right?”

“is that so?

Turning the wok, Zeke infused the food with flame.

“More than that, Deus-sama, you look nice today.”

“Is that so?”

“yes. “You look somewhat refreshed.”

“Sharp bastard.”

” yes?”

“no. Rather, I have to practice again later.”

“yes. As expected, sparring with Deus-sama seems to be the most helpful for now.”

“I need to seduce Yulgeum too. That woman

is pretty strong no matter what. “It would be the biggest help if you fight with your true colors.”

“Metatron?”

“They say he’s the leader of the angels.”

“I can’t imagine. “Right now, Yulgeum is living in peace.”

“That’s right. “Just seeing how he gets along with me, a demon.”

“It must be because it’s Jin Geum-yong.”

“So if I go back to Metatron, will I become unlucky like the other angels?”

“well.”

I stir-fried seafood and bean sprouts in spicy sauce

and dissolved the starch to make it slightly thick.

When I put the finished dish in the bowl, the fish meat and bean sprouts all turned red.

But that was also its charm, so everyone ate it happily while sweating profusely.

Signy and Yulgeum were busy serving the hall right now.

I was busy organizing what the group of 20 guests were eating and drinking.

“Master Deus.”

“uh.”

“It’s time to move slowly.”

“Has it already happened like that?”

Deus stood up from his reserved seat and bent his neck left and right.

The energy of Hyeonmu and White Tiger was placed on his hands so that nothing could touch them.

Eventually, I sat down in front of a huge bucket of water.

What was there was a pile of dishes.

“shit. “Where are all the things below going?”

“sorry.”

“No, you can’t apologize.” Deus

wiped the dishes with a refreshed look.

“It’s really strange. “Why are you in such a good mood today?”

“huh? “Is it because it’s been a while since I started a hobby?”

“Hobby?”

“huh. “I’m growing something.”

” yes?”

“There is such a thing.”

Zeke tilted his head. Is it a pet? Or an ornamental plant? Neither of them particularly suited Deus.

But I couldn’t ask any more. Since two new orders of

seafood stew came in, there was no time to worry about anything else.

That night.

Deus again enjoyed his secret hobby.

“Why, you made it sound like you could do something with Rosario, but you’re so weak?”

He sat cross-legged in the air in front of Skatiel, who was panting and kneeling.

“If you think about it, isn’t that just relying on the two Death Gods?”

Scatiel was so exhausted that

he didn’t even have the strength to get up.

They fought until the nearly infinite energy of the angel ran out, but in the end they were unable to defeat Deus.

“What are you talking about as if you can defeat the devil?”

“Even among angels, there are differences in power.”

“Are you strong?”

“Because I belong to a combat unit under the Lord of Victory.”

“How much is Michael?” Scatiel snorted.

“There

is no one to compare to someone like you.”

“is it?”

The provocation did not work. Deus casually accepted Scatiel’s words and opened his mouth again.

“Of course, angels are strong… but demons are not that easy either. The way I see it, 665 years old is enough to overpower you. Because Mahon is filled with memories of an old archangel named Lucy Fell. “Well, it’s just selective memory.”

“Would you mind telling me now? ‘Why did you lock me up’?”

“I already told you. “It’s a hobby.”

“Who would believe that?”

“If you beat me, I’ll teach you.” Scottiel’s expression hardened.

Deus sneered.

“Oh, is that too much to say?”

“I pray that one day you will let down your guard.”

“Even if I pray here, I won’t reach God?”

“You’re joking all the way through.”

“It’s fun.”

Scottiel clenched his fists. My strength

hasn’t returned. Even if I fight now, there’s no point in doing anything special.

I forced my head down.

We need to gather more strength.
