Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 248

57. The warrior goes out. ⑴

“But no matter how you look at it… Isn’t the ban on gunpowder just a blind eye?”

Deus looked at the dragon Agusta wearing armor and said something.

He was a sapphire dragon. Although it had one head, it had two tails, so the armor below its waist was slightly different from the basic model.

The dragon’s equipment

could be divided into two types: active armor that creates a force field with magical power, and projective weapons.

Since they were all controlled using magic, there was no need to move your hands at all.

The weapon Agusta fired now was a small magic missile loaded with 20 rounds on each shoulder.

It was about 50 centimeters long and as thick as an adult’s forearm, but what was contained in the warhead was a considerable level of magic.

Since it was only disposable, a considerable amount of money was needed to produce the bullets.

“How is it different from something like a bomb?”

In response to Deus’ question, June, a woman with black hair, adjusted her glasses and answered.

“It’s not gunpowder, is it?”

“So there’s no difference.”

“There is a big difference.”

” What?”

“It’s not gunpowder.”

“Then is that okay?”

“yes. “You just have to make it magic.”

“You guys will be punished for deceiving God like that.”

“You didn’t break the law, did you?”

“Are you a little crooked?”

Jaune pushed up his glasses again and spoke firmly.

“God’s word is not broken. “That is the most important mindset.”

Gene answered like this and said to Agusta.

“Active armor test X-372. The former Demon King will give you a special test. “Get your mind straight.”

Agusta activated his active armor with a nervous expression.

At first glance, it was similar to an aura. A haze of light

surrounded the armor and Agusta’s entire body.

Well, if you look at it, it was no different from an aura in the sense that it turned powerful energy into a force field to block external interference.

Gene said to Deus.

“Test it.”

“With all your might?”

“I’m dying.”

“Then there’s no need for me to do it, right?”

“You know better, don’t you? How much power the enemy has. “If it can withstand the lightning blow from a giant’s spear,

its role as armor will be sufficient.”

“You mean the lightning strike of the Giant God Troops? Hmm… it’s so weak that the standards are vague. “I don’t know, I’ll just hit it with about 10 dragons.”

“Please stop using us as a unit of power…

Before Jaune could finish speaking, Deus held out his fist.

Flames shot out of his hands and exploded onto Agusta’s body. A dense fireball hits like a meteorite.

The sound was so loud that

the humans, fairy dwarves, and dragons who were doing different things throughout the armory turned their heads in surprise.

The flame did not die out easily.

It burned and fluttered around Agusta’s armor and body before slowly extinguishing.

Deus raised his index and middle fingers and blew a cheering wind. Long blue smoke rose.

“Are you crazy? “Suddenly it’s Hellfire!”

Gene asked with an angry look on his face. “If you can’t withstand this much,

there’s nothing to call it armor. “You guys can survive two or three hits on your own, right?”

Gene was speechless. I turned my head and looked at Agusta.

He shook his head as if he still couldn’t get over the shock.

Burns appeared all over my body, and my armor was dented in some places by the heat.

But it survived.

Even after being hit head-on, Agusta was able to move without major damage.

Hellfire

was ranked among the magic of the Demon World.

It was the highest level magic along with ice spear Emerkia and others.

Even the person who used that magic was the Demon King. He was a monster whose magical power was second to none.

It didn’t seem like it was written particularly weakly. Of course, it was used too easily, like a human wizard would use the Fire Bolt spell.

Deus approached Agusta. I looked at his armor closely.

“It’s not perfect yet. “If you look at the high level of wear at the edges, the shield is not flexible enough.”

“That’s a technical limitation…

“Make up for it.”

The moment Gene was about to frown, Deus spoke again.

“But we’re almost there. At this level, I can sell it. butler! Oh, by the way, the butler is on a business trip.”

“I just arrived.”

Skatiel, or rather Skatul, bowed his head to Deus.

Deus glanced at him.

Imprisonment and assault(!) After that, I met Kamael for the first time since I went there to meet him. But we

didn’t ask or discuss anything about the past .

Because that’s the way it is.

“Calculate the cost of a butler]’. “The selling price is with a 30% margin.”

“All right.”

Jaune was about to say something with a dissatisfied expression, but closed his mouth.

Since that was the condition from the beginning, there was nothing we could do. It would be nice if Yulgeum could say something, but she was testing other equipment with Zeke and Signy on the other side.

“You made nothing out of something, right? This is a bargain. If I was planning on doing business,

I would have put 300 percent on the mark. and you.”

Gene looked straight at Deus.

“Why are you doing that?”

“You did really well. “Your species will survive thanks to you.”

Gene’s heart suddenly pounded at his praise.

I didn’t know why my heart was racing. I snorted coldly on purpose.

“I was just following Yulgeum’s orders.”

Deus waved his hand and turned around.

“You’re so shy, Jaune.”

Saying this, I trudged towards Zeke’s direction.

Meanwhile, there was a small commotion where Zeke was now.

It seemed that the miners who had just returned from underground had found a strange object.

Deus stood next to Zeke and took a quick look to see that the top of the bar was shiny and shiny like obsidian.

” What?”

“Yulgeum, what kind of nodules are you talking about?”

In response to Zeke’s answer, Deus said something.

“If you’re going to memorize it, memorize it straight. Even if you say something, you won’t be able to understand it at all.”

“Just think of it as a magic metal.”

“Hmm, but it’s too much of a fuss for someone who discovered a magic metal or something? Besides, who put a knife there?”

“That’s why it’s so noisy now.”

“Is this your first time seeing a sword? “Whose is it?”

“No one knows. “Because it was stuck in the rock like that from the beginning.”

“Somebody go and pick it.”

As soon as Deus spoke, Silver Actor, one of the old Neuekan chief knights, stepped forward.

Although one of his arms is now missing and has been replaced with a mechanical prosthetic arm, Actor was one of the first and second figures in Neue Kahn’s history.

In terms of strength alone, it was so strong that even Zeke couldn’t handle it.

He gestured and approached with his sword.

The hand made using the skills of dwarves had a hook-shaped all-purpose wrench attached to it.

He hung the wrench on the handle of the sword and clenched his opposite hand tightly.

If it wasn’t melted and stuck like a rock, I was confident I could pull it out.

He applied force and slowly shook the sword hilt.

There was a squeak and the sword hilt moved slightly. Onlookers cheered.

Hector took his hand off his sword for a moment and smiled. He showed confidence by

waving his hand .

I grabbed my sword again.

I pushed with force and pulled again. It moved just as much. But it didn’t budge any more.

It looked like it would be easily pulled out, but it didn’t move any further.

After working hard for a while, I was exhausted and sweating. I thought it would be difficult any longer, so I put down my sword and stepped back.

“This isn’t easy.”

As if making an excuse, he returned to his seat and spoke to his colleague Jusak.

“You have to use skill, not force. “Look at what

I ’m doing.”

Jusak stepped forward.

He was originally only a G-level player, but his skills improved significantly while working with Zeke.

Now, even in the first grade, it was placed at a considerably higher level.

I held the sword hilt with both hands and moved it gently.

As much as Actor had moved a moment ago, it seemed like there was a gap from the beginning.

Jusak slightly pushed the power of the aura into the sword. The purpose was to investigate to see if the sword was bent and stuck somewhere

.

But I didn’t feel anything like that.

It was to the point where I wondered why the sword wouldn’t fall out.

I tried applying a little force. It wasn’t pulled at all.

Jusak let go of his hand.

“It appears to be a sword with a separate owner.”

It would have been very unsightly if I had used all my strength and ended up hitting my butt.

I’ve already failed twice. They

were also quite capable people.

Quite a few people had no intention of coming forward. But on the other hand, the moment you pull that one out, you will be revered as a person above Jushak and Actor.

Dwarves in particular were confident in their physical strength.

My usual job was digging underground and breaking rocks.

A dwarf approached with a sword.

He spat on his hand and grabbed the sword. He jumped onto the handmade rock and pulled his sword as if pulling out a radish.

As if the handle alone was not enough,

he also used the long cross-shaped sword shield to exert strength. But the sword blade still had no intention of escaping from between the rocks.

So three or four people failed in a row.

The dwarves began to murmur because they were all saying that it would take some effort.

At first, they pulled it out with force alone, but then the fairies came forward and even used magic.

There was also a case where three male students formed a scrum.

Two of them lifted the sword shield, and one used magic to assist

.

After they also failed, there were no challengers for a short while.

However, it was only for a moment that this person and that person came out and rolled up their sleeves to draw the sword from the rock.

Although it was embarrassing for those who failed, the onlookers actually enjoyed it.

I burst out laughing every time the challenger walked away in frustration.

As someone brought in kegs of alcohol from the lodgings and started selling them, the rock with the sword stuck into it became a place for festivals.

“Isn’t it a little strange?”

Deus tilted his head when Zeke asked.

“what?”

Deus was watching without thinking much.

I just assume that if it doesn’t fall out, it probably won’t fall out. They’re all weak anyway.

“The sword won’t fall out. If it’s firmly attached, it might, but… that sword is strangely strong.”

“Now that I think about it…

the four dwarves were pulling the sword with a chain as big as their forearm.

The arm strength of four miners was enough to lift a weight of about 2 tons.

Even though they chained him and applied all their force, there was not even a small scratch on the sword shield.

Deus turned his gaze to Yulgeum.

“Could Yulgeum be a sword with a story?”

“I was wondering when you would ask.”

“You know.”

“No, I don’t know.”

“But why are you reacting like that?”

“Well, you always asked me when you got stuck on something.”

Deus scratched his head and looked around.

Neither Lakhe nor Sadimus were suitable people to ask.

There was nothing more to say about Signy, who had little outside experience.

I made eye contact with Scatul.

“Deacon.”

“Yes, master.”

“Don’t you know?”

“From my insight… However, there was a legend like this among humans a long time ago. “The one who pulls out the sword from the rock will become the true king.”
