Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 178

41. Meeting Signy ⑴

“Ah! “You mean the bugs that help with fertilization.”

Lake’s entire face turned red as he looked at Zeke’s innocent expression.

“That’s right. Sorry. “For ordering something strange like that.”

“no. are you okay. Besides, if there is no flower pot, the plants will not bear fruit. “It’s a good thing, why are you sorry?”

Lakhe handed Zeke some juice to apply to various parts of his body.

The juice was a type of pheromone and was like a sign saying, ‘It’s mine.’

The pheromones had no significant effect on Zeke. However, it only served to make other demons think that Zeke was Lake’s slave.

Zeke, who was applying clear gel to his face, said to Lakke.

“I will help you if you really need to transfer the pollen from Mr. Lakhe’s stamens to the pistils.”

“no!”

” yes?”

“I’m embarrassed.”

“is that so?”

“Stop talking any more.”

“Four four.”

Zeke had worked at a flower shop or fruit farm. There, I also worked on behalf of bees to help pollinate.

So I didn’t understand why she reacted that way.

In fact, Lakhe was a flower herself. The stem and roots were following her feet underground

.

Sometimes roots and stems were put into shoes, but if one could not stand on the soil, the strength one could use was greatly limited.

In order to pollinate, Lakhe had to reveal her entire self in human form.

Although she is said to be a plant, her body was imbued with human emotions because she had not been around humans for a long time.

No matter how crazy he was, he couldn’t bear to show his body and ask for moisture.

Zeke crossed the border of mugwort with Lakke.

When passing through a swamp filled with the poison of bubbling mugwort, I had to ride on Lakhe’s back.

After passing through the contaminated area of mugwort, Lakhe cut off part of the roots. Some branches have already been poisoned and started to die.

“I think Mr. Lakhe is really strong.” Zeke said from behind her.

“The organs are different. “My fighting ability doesn’t even come close to Zeke’s.”

“I’m worried about Neuekan. “I wonder if it will be okay without Mr. Lakhe.”

“The underground and the road connected. It will be okay because you are not an isolated worker and have the help of charcoal workers. Plus, Nejardo. “Because Nezar… is really strong.”

“The Almighty Bracelet was truly amazing. “If it weren’t for the power of Suzaku and Blue Dragon, we might have been defeated.”

“Then what do you do? “I have a bad personality.”

“I think I’ll send it to Deus again later. “I can’t handle it.”

“You’re not even a child anymore. “Zeek is doing well too.”

After passing through the mugwort swamp, Zeke got off Lake’s back.

Immediately after that, dozens of demons jumped out and surrounded the two people.

The red-skinned demons had the legs and horns of goats and carried long scythes as weapons.

He seemed to be about 2 meters tall. They glared at Zeke with vertically split snake eyes and made scary noises.

“The smell of bugs! “What are you?”

Lakke stepped in front of Zeke.

She stretched out her arm like a whip.

What was at his fingertips was a scroll. She unfolded it to the apparent leader.

The devil shouted in surprise.

“It is the master’s official! Everyone bow down!”

“Demon King, rule over the demon world forever!”

The demons bowed to the scroll.

Only the commander raised his head and saw Lakhe.

“Your name is Lakhe. It is the only Mandarake that the Lord

allows to travel freely through the Demon World. “Is it you?”

” that’s right.”

“May the devil’s curse always be with you.”

“I guess that means I can pass by, right?”

“That’s right. Please put your seal before that. As long as it exists, it is not easy for us to even raise our heads.”

” i get it.”

Lakhe rolled up the paper and put it back in his arms. Only then did the demons stand up and

move to the side.

“Who is this?”

The commander of the demons asked Lakhe.

“It’s called Zeke. “My flower pot.”

“Is it an insect? This is my first time seeing this species. Rather, it looks similar to a human.”

“Because the Land of Wormwood is full of monsters you couldn’t imagine.”

“I think that’s true.”

The devil sighed briefly and spoke again.

“As the boundaries of the mugwort become blurred, monsters keep coming in,

making it difficult to live here.”

“Aren’t you demons strong?”

“That’s right. However, mugwort monsters are not weak either.”

“That is true. “The small and weak ones were unable to withstand the poison of mugwort and became extinct.”

The mugwort monsters were actually ordinary animals and plants. However, it only got to where it is now by increasing its volume to better withstand the poison. “That’s why I’m telling you this… Since you said you are a close friend of my lord

, I believe Lake must have powerful abilities .

“Can you possibly help us?”

“We have somewhere to go.”

“It will only take a moment. “Please just use your strength for a moment.”

When Lakhe was momentarily troubled by the earnest request, Zeke spoke on his behalf.

“Then please take us to the Demon King’s palace instead.”

“That’s not difficult. As it happens, this work can only be completed when we go to the royal capital of Eidos.”

Lakhe nodded.

“Under those conditions, it’s not bad.”

No matter how much he masked it with Lakke’s pheromones, Zeke was a warrior.

I didn’t know that someone might get suspicious and dig into my identity.

If you can get to the capital with the help of demons, it will be a great help in avoiding such suspicion.

The place where the demons took Lakhe and Zeke was a basin surrounded by cliffs.

There, hundreds of demons called satyrs had gathered and surrounded one place.

It seemed like

there was something in the cave .

A long rope stretched out, and the demons pulled the rope as if playing tug-of-war.

At least 400 or more satyrs pulled the rope with all their might.

But the monster in the cave did not move.

“I don’t know what’s going on.”

The devil’s commander, who heard Lake’s words, spoke.

“Actually… we found something useful for the war that will take place 10 years from now

. This is Hille’s Enma, located in the gap between nightmare and darkness. I barely succeeded in putting the reins on it, but right after that, I took advantage of the moment I was careless and ran away, so I ended up like this.” Zeke looked into the cave. In the pitch-black darkness, different tones of darkness were burning.

I saw the guy’s eyes.

I glared at Zeke with a fierce look that could not be attributed to a herbivore.

The guy was withstanding the tug-of-war between the demons with a blood vessel in his neck.

If the reins were broken, they would break, but it seemed like they wouldn’t give in like they were now.

“If I were that horse, even if I were dragged out by the force of hundreds of people, I don’t think I would truly obey the other person.”

The commander looked perplexed at Zeke’s words.

“That could be possible.”

“If you run away again, we might not catch you. “I think it would be better to completely surrender at this point.”

“However… Enma’s power

is nothing compared to any other monster. It is a horse that can ride to the exit of the demon world in one day with the devil king on its back. “Do you think there is another historian in Hille, other than your master, who can handle that horse alone?”

“I’ll try it.”

“Hey, didn’t you hear what I said? “I am saying that no one except you will be able to tame that horse.”

Lakhe said.

“My flower potter was born with divine power from an early age, and his strength is second to none

. “Why not give it a try?”

“If you say that, I think it will be hard to refuse.”

The commander shouted to the demons.

“Everyone stop working! The slave here says he wants to test his strength. Let go of the reins and step back! “Take seven steps back!”

A path was opened between the demons.

Zeke walked in there.

derision.

Perhaps that is the main emotion running among demons.

He boasts that he is stronger than hundreds of demons when he is barely an angry person.

Failure was a foregone conclusion, and everyone’s mind was busy trying to come up with lines about how to make a point.

But at this moment, Zeke focused on the shadow inside the cave.

The closer I got, the clearer the image became.

The black, burning body was like a ghost.

As its name suggests, it was a horse from hell.

The reason Zeke dared to come forward

was because of that horse’s eyes.

I fell in love at first sight.

Although it was a horse, it was not an ignorant animal. Rather, deep in those eyes was a proud warrior.

Because I pulled it out with such force, the nape of my neck became a mess.

The bridle was torn and black blood flowed.

But he did not bow his head.

I only added strength to my engorged neck as I stared straight ahead.

Zeke shouted loudly at the horse.

“Although I can’t say it out loud now, I am a descendant of a famous warrior family. I want to compete one-on-one with you, risking the souls of my ancestors. “You will agree, right?”

Puhi hing!

Even the horse snorted.

Zeke smiled calmly as he watched Yeomma tilt his head to the side.

I grabbed the rope attached to the reins.

It was a strong Donga rope made to withstand the power of hundreds of demons.

I tried to strengthen my hands

while holding the shiny black string .

A pattern appeared on the back of my hand.

Suzaku and Blue Dragon.

The red and blue emblem symbolizing it was engraved on the backs of both hands.

Zeke grabbed the rope and took a step back.

The rope was pulled taut.

Another step.

Dongajul started giggling and screaming.

The demons’ expressions began to change. The weight of the rope tied to the reins alone was close to 1,000 kilograms.

How could you lift it by yourself and pull it so tight?

It was as if he had already proven his divine power.

Low-level demons were simple.

They worship power. He spit in front of the weak and showed respect to the strong.

The mocking atmosphere disappeared and people started cheering for Zeke one by one.

“Use your strength, use your strength!”

“Use your strength as if you were riding your master!”

The moment Lakke glanced at the demon,

Zeke took a step back.

The line grew as it grew.

Still, I was dragged out. There was a drag mark about a span behind the horse’s front leg.

Both of Zeke’s hands emitted blue and red light, respectively.

It was a completely different type of light from the aura.

Although it was light, the demons were not averse to the brilliance that Zeke gave off.

“bantling! It’s pretty good! “Be stronger!”

“Hwiik! If you do well, I will introduce you to the lady , so look forward to it!

“If you use your powers properly, you can make a lot of money!”

Lakhe blocked his ears to avoid the dirty talk.

Who to blame? It’s his own karma for introducing Zeke as a flower pot slave.

Wow!

Cheers erupted.

The winner of the tug-of-war was in favor of Zeke.

Enma was eventually dragged out of the cave.

The guy disintegrated and snorted.

Zeke let go of the rope, walked up to him, and stroked his forehead.

At first, he said he liked me, but later on, he started pretending to be friendly by burying his nose in Zeke’s armpit.
