Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 216

49. A girl goes on an adventure (4)

Lakhe sighed in relief and stood on the ground.

He made a ladder out of vines to make it easier for other colleagues to climb up.

The place was not very far from the crater of the volcano.

The smell of coppery sulfur tickled my nostrils. Still

, I was reassured by the fact that

the sun was shining .

It was right then.

“Did you enjoy the escape game?”

Nezar’s voice was heard.

I was startled and raised my head to see giants looking down from the top of the rocky cliffs.

When Nezar made a gesture, numerous giants moved.

The giants, about 3 meters tall, were wearing strange armor.

Lakhe and Sadimus groaned at the sight.

“You put mechanical armor on a giant!”

It was none other than armor with mechanical devices. It made the force stronger, and projectiles like crossbows were hidden here and there.

It appears that Nezar has continued to mass-produce giant soldiers wearing mechanical armor that he sent to the demons.

Ten giants surrounded the party.

Sadimus and Lache already knew the power of the giant, so they did not hastily attack it.

Nezar sat down on the rocky hill and looked down at the netherworld.

“That’s very interesting. It’s really fun. It seems you really are the child of Deus and Signi. “Something so small is incredibly bold.”

“Don’t mention your parents’ names in vain!”

“I deserve it. Because this is the body that will become the loser of the new world.”

Nezar nodded several times and glanced at Migo’s comrades who had run away.

“I had a good idea. Migo.”

” why?”

“Shall we let them go?”

“What are you planning?”

“Instead, you should not even think about escaping underground. Work for me until your damned father comes to save you.”

Migo looked straight at Nezar.

Although she was only an 11-year-old girl, she never lost in a snowball fight against a 10-meter-tall giant.

What was even more amazing was the fact that I was still fighting numbers in my head at this moment.

Judging from Sadimus and Lakhe’s reactions,

it seemed like there was no chance of winning this fight.

Even Yulgeum and himself were unable to withstand Nezar.

I don’t know if the three people, including Sadimus, are stronger than Yul Geum, but if not, there would be no way to win.

In addition, there were ten more giants wearing strange mechanical armor.

I thought it would be better to back off here rather than force a fight I couldn’t win and make my wounds worse.

Nezar even says that he will let the remaining party go safely

.

“Are you really going to let them go?”

Lake immediately interrupted Migo.

“Don’t trust that monster. The author is the devil.”

“The devil must be Migo’s father! I am the loser of the world. Don’t tell childish lies. “I’ll let you go there.”

Migo frowned.

“Four people?” “What about Steffy?”

Nezar stretched out his hand and pointed at Steffy.

Lightning stretched out and engulfed her in an instant.

How many seconds does it take for a young girl’s body to turn into a handful of ash?

“no!”

Migo screamed.

But Steffy had already disappeared from this world.

“why!”

“Because I am not generous enough to see my slave betray me. Now then, answer me. Are you going to save those four? Or will you kill me? “If you show your teeth to me,

the other four, except you, will surely be killed.” Migo’s eyes turned red.

He was a friend of the same age that I met for the first time in my life.

Thanks to her, I was able to escape from the cage… but

I never thought I would lose it so vainly!

Migo bit her lip.

“I curse you. “I will definitely kill you someday.”

“It sounds like now is not the time.”

“Unfortunately… that’s right. Release your men.”

“Instead, do not disobey my orders.”

“okay.”

Lakhe and Sadimus stood next to Migo.

“There is no need for that. “I will fight with you.”

Migo shook her head at Sadimus’ words.

“no. Please return to Neuekan. And please meet Yulgeum and tell him what happened to me.”

Sadimus glared at Nezar with harsh eyes.

But Nezar just snorted. With a face that says what can someone like you do?

Migo pushed Sadimus and Lakhe.

“go! please.”

Those two and Jushak Actor felt miserable due to Migo’s salvation.

I was more upset than anything about not having the power to save her.

I took steps without falling. I looked back at Migo several times.

Migo smiled and waved his hand.

“Don’t worry about me. Nezar will not kill me. “As long as there is still value left as a hostage.”

Sadimus clenched his fists.

It felt like hot blood was flowing through a body that had already died a thousand years ago.

Lakhe gritted his teeth.

I swear I will never forget this shame.

And the two chief knights knelt down towards Migo and showed knightly respect.

I swore in my heart. He said that he would treat Migo as his master and that he would definitely sacrifice his life to save him.

After they left, Migo looked at Nezar and said.

“What are you trying to make me do? cleaning? Wash? Or are you trying to make me dig?”

“You will be my maid from now on. “I think it would be good to solve the figures I received before like this.”

“What is a maid?”

“Call me master. And what I say must never be violated.”

“You killed my friend Steffy

. “I will never forgive you for that.”

“Does not matter. Reveal this to me at any time. But it would be better to do it when you are sure that you can beat me. “Because I don’t know how long I will be merciful.”

Nezar said, looking back at the giants.

“Then let’s go back to my kingdom.”

“I will do as you say, our God!”

Migo’s first task was to feed Nezar.

He was a glutton.

It chewed and swallowed a whole leg of a huge, monster-like mammal.

Migo frowned at the food spilling everywhere, making a slopping sound.

“Migo.”

“Yes, master.”

“Bring here the meat that is lying at the other end.”

” yes.”

Promises must be kept.

With that in mind, Migo quietly carried out the servant’s work.

Nezar spat out the piece of meat he was holding on the table.

“Pick it up and throw it away.”

Migo’s expression hardened slightly.

My teacher, Yulgeum, was strict, but he had never treated me this harshly.

Both her mother and uncle Lexia cherished Migo like a jewel.

Cleaning up spit-out food!

I never imagined I would be doing something like this.

But Migo put a smile on her face again.

“Yes, master.”

I consoled myself again and again.

I pushed it out with something like a snow shovel and put it in the trash can next to the table.

Nezar stole a glance at Migo.

“Wipe clean. “The food tastes bad.”

“Yes, master.”

Migo cleaned up one side of the table with a mop.

After that, Nezar did some dirty things and made her frown.

But Migo got over it all.

After finishing the meal, Nezar rinsed his mouth with bitter tea and spoke to Migo.

“Aren’t you angry? “Being like this is a servant.”

“What makes me angry is that you killed my innocent friend.”

“Not innocent. You, my subject, dared to help me and betray me. “It is natural to

die .”

“You were forced to become a servant.”

“If you don’t like that, you should have fought me.”

“What can I do when I have no strength?”

“You’re complaining like a child. There are countless warriors who died rebelling against me. If you decide to submit and follow, shouldn’t you keep your word? Also, if you have committed betrayal, you must also accept death willingly. If you betray and save your life, stick to the right side. If you are at a disadvantage, stick to the left side. “It’s not easy to survive like that.”

“Don’t you know what mercy is? “ She

was a child, only ten years old.”

“Javira! If I hadn’t been merciful, I would have killed you and hung your skin here. “That’s enough to provoke your father and your uncle.”

Migo trembled at his words.

“Are you scared?”

“no.”

Nezar took a sip of tea and opened his mouth again.

“You’re a little different from other kids.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

“I may seem strange, but the humiliation I received from your father is several times greater.”

Nezar told the story of his encounter with Deus as if retelling an old story.

The story was that after living for tens of thousands of years locked in an underground storage room, Deus unsealed him and forced him to become his servant.

“Father saved you!”

“That’s what you saved?”

“is not it?”

“If you had set me free, then yes. But he made me a slave. I am proud of myself. You made me, a person with the most developed brain in all of human history, into a slave and made me do chores! “He is nothing but a madman.”

“You don’t know what grace is.”

“I just give back what I received.”

“Yulgeum told me about it. Give first. Even if you don’t get anything in return, give again.”

“So what’s left?”

“You said you would find out someday.

“I’m sure there will be something left in me.”

“gibberish. “It will only diminish my wealth.”

Migo shook her head gently.

Nezar frowned and said to her.

“Starting today, I will give one of your dinners to another person who is starving. “Will there still be something left in you?”

“If there is someone who is hungry, it is okay to give it to them.”

“Don’t regret it!”

Migo laughed.

“Because I am strong. “It’s okay to share one more meal with one person.”

Nezar pouted his lips at that smile.

Meanwhile, the two main knights, including Lake and Sadimus, hurried to Neuekan.

While escaping from the underground, I found a hideout created by Yulgeum based on the story I heard from Migo.

It was Regin who opened the door and welcomed them.

We looked at each other in confusion

for a moment, unable to recognize who we were .

Immediately after that, Lakhe spoke first.

“We are the people who protected Neuekan together with Zeke. “Are you Regin?”

“That’s right. You…

“Call me Lakhe.”

“ah! “You are Mandarake Rakesh.”

“This is Sadimus. And those two are Jushak of red and Actor of silver among the main knights of Neuekahn.”

“It’s Regin van jade.”

He gave himself the name Holly

.

It was to return the castle to his older brother.

Regin brought four people into the barrier.

Signy and Lexia heard people inside and came out to the front door.

In Lexia’s case, she knew Sadimus and La Ke well.

But it was not the time to leisurely exchange greetings.

Lakhe said, looking at everyone.

“Migo is now being held captive by Nezar.”

Signy’s expression darkened slightly. Lakhe took Signi’s hand.

“I already heard the story from Yulgeum.”

“Sorry. “Even though we were there… we only received help from that little child.”

“What on earth happened?”
