The Heavenly Demon Can't Live A Normal Life [EN]: Chapter 472

Kang Min-ho walked, his legs feeling heavy. Each step crunched on the broken glass scattered across the street. His heart pounded in his chest. He could still see it, clear as day: Roman Dmitry blowing off Koh Sang-ho’s head.

‘I killed a person. And so easily,’ he thought, the words echoing in his mind. The scene replayed in his head: Koh Sang-ho shouting threats, then silence, then… blood. Life was violent after the Great Chaos. But killing someone so easily, like that, was still shocking.

Walking ahead, Kang Min-ho felt like his heart was about to explode.

A series of events.

The moment Koh Sang-ho showed he wanted to kill, Roman Dmitry blew his head off without even hesitating.

It was shocking.

Life was violent after the Great Chaos, but killing someone so casually was still shocking.

Of course, Kang Min-ho had killed before.

Hunter fights often led to life-or-death situations. He had once stabbed an enemy in the heart who attacked him as if to kill him.

But that was truly to protect myself. This was different. Roman Dmitry killed someone who was already helpless.

But can I really blame Roman Dmitry for this? No. He just reacted strongly, and there was a good reason to kill Koh Sang-ho.

He thought about the situation.

Koh Sang-ho came without permission to check something that wasn’t even confirmed. Then, his leg was cut off. Because of this, he screamed and threatened to kill.

This was a problem. Koh Sang-ho only made threats, but they couldn’t be ignored.

He would definitely use Red Moon’s forces as he had said. In a situation where they were trying to kill each other, what just happened was self-defense.

Therefore, it was a matter of order.

Usually, people kill when fights get worse and worse. But Roman Dmitry was different. He acted faster than most people would expect.

I can’t call Roman Dmitry an evil person because of that murder. Red Moon went too far. In this chaotic time, it’s normal to make them pay with their lives. Other people don’t do this because they can’t deal with what happens after. And Roman Dmitry, who I’ve been with for a few days, has seemed quite reasonable. He defeated the soldier ants for a deal, and he gave away valuable items for free, thinking about living expenses for a month.

He took a breath.

Maybe he just wanted to trust Roman Dmitry.

If there was nothing to gain from him, he would have stepped back. But in this chaotic world, saying ‘no’ to danger all the time was not the right thing to do.

He wanted to trust him this once. If Roman Dmitry was the one who would lead him to the shelter, he had to stick with him, even if it meant being ruthless, for his only daughter.

He organized his thoughts.

Now that he was with Roman Dmitry, the big problem was Red Moon, the powerful group in Incheon.

If Roman Dmitry kills someone just for looking like they want to kill, he will never agree with Red Moon. Red Moon is the same. Their leader is very aggressive. He won’t ignore Koh Sang-ho’s death, even if it’s just to protect the group’s image. If I take Roman Dmitry to Red Moon’s base like this, it’s obvious that one of them will die.

One person against a group.

The result was obvious.

Kang Min-ho realized he couldn’t keep Roman Dmitry safe. He stopped walking.

Then, he turned his head and said.

“I have something to say for a moment.”

It was a strange feeling.

Roman Dmitry looked younger than him, but it wasn’t easy to tell him the truth. It wasn’t just because of his strength.

Roman Dmitry seemed naturally superior. He acted like he was better than everyone else without even trying. Kang Min-ho couldn’t help but feel it.

Was that why?

Kang Min-ho was about to talk about the real problems. He noticed his voice was shaking.

“Um… you know, no matter how I think about it, this just doesn’t feel right. The opponent is Red Moon. They have more than a hundred hunters, and their leader became B-rank several years ago. It would be hard enough to deal with the leader, but going into their base alone is like suicide.”

There was no answer.

He looked calm, as if telling him to say more. Kang Min-ho felt stronger and added.

“This time, I understand. Koh Sang-ho came without permission and threatened Roman Dmitry. It’s normal for him to pay the price somehow. But from now on, we need to be realistic. There is only one way to stop Red Moon’s threat. Ask the Incheon government for help. I don’t mean to join the Incheon government. The Incheon government wants Roman Dmitry to join them. So, they will probably agree to work with him for a short time.”

Kim Jun-hyuk was very capable.

Even if Red Moon attacked aggressively, he could smooth things over somehow.

“People say the main government and the local government are different. But that’s not true when there isn’t a big disaster. I will be a witness. I’ll be a witness that killing Koh Sang-ho was self-defense. If the Incheon government uses laws to stop Red Moon, Red Moon can’t hurt Roman Dmitry because he’ll be protected by the government. Once you are safe right now, you can plan to fight Red Moon later, if you still want to. If you get allies and attack at the right moment, you have a good chance to win.”

Kang Min-ho was at a crossroads.

Testimony.

Kang Min-ho said it like it was a small thing to Roman Dmitry. But telling the truth against Red Moon would make Red Moon his enemy.

Red Moon would definitely become angry at Kang Min-ho for being a witness. He might be threatened with murder, but Kang Min-ho thought it was worth it.

He swallowed hard.

He had said everything he could.

How Roman Dmitry would accept this was not his choice anymore.

Kang Min-ho’s idea wasn’t just being nice.

He wasn’t just being nice. He had a reason for helping.

In Kang Min-ho’s eyes, burning with desire, Roman Dmitry smiled.

‘Interesting.’

That look was familiar.

In this new situation, memories from Roman Dmitry’s past life, which he had forgotten, suddenly became clear again.

Two previous lives.

When he first lived as Roman Dmitry, his past life was not a good thing.

His past life was terrible.

His father made him fight all the time.

His life was full of violence. To survive, he had to become like a monster.

But now it was different.

Roman Dmitry had started a new life. His past was no longer just a painful memory.

‘It was like my past life. I met people who wanted things very badly. Because of them, I could live like a normal person.’

Chris, Kevin.

Valentino, Fabius.

Edwin Hector, Daniel Cairo, and so on.

They showed what they wanted when they met Roman Dmitry.

Chris wanted to be the best swordsman. Kevin wanted to escape poverty. Valentino wanted to own things. Roman Dmitry saw what they wanted. He helped them get it, and in return, they became his people.

At first, it was just a simple deal.

Roman Dmitry wanted a new life. He made a deal based on strong desire. Because of this, people trusted him completely. He chose the people he needed, one by one, to help him start this new life. These people were important in his past.

Roman Dmitry was human. So, he calmly accepted the last three years where he couldn’t do anything.

‘I want people who really want to live. People who fight to climb up, not people who give up at the bottom. People who just watch when bad things happen can’t come with me.’

Desire was the driving force of life.

So, he liked people like Kang Min-ho.

Kang Min-ho’s strong desire reminded Roman of his own past. It showed Roman what he should do next.

Roman Dmitry said,

“From the moment I decided to live a new life, I will make my own safe place. This is just the beginning. I hear what you’re saying, but I do not wish to live peacefully with those who show hostility towards me. So, choose.”

His presence swelled.

Looking at Kang Min-ho, he clearly showed him what kind of person he was.

“If you are worried about your safety because of what will happen from now on, step back. You had no obligation to do so from the beginning. But if you guide me to the Red Moon’s headquarters and say you will take the risk, if you say you will live for me from now on, I will give you what you want. By my side, you will be able to live the life you desire.”

Kang Min-ho’s eyes widened.

An unexpected remark.

He couldn’t answer quickly.

He had never thought of living for someone other than his daughter, yet he felt his heart pounding madly.

It was instinct.

With this person.

With this person, it felt like he could achieve things he had only dreamed of.

Not only entering the shelter with his daughter, but many things beyond that.

“…I will join you. If you give me what I want, I am willing to give my life.”

Just words.

It was enough.

Roman didn’t need many promises to trust people.

Roman Dmitry said,

“Guide me to the Red Moon’s headquarters. From now on, you will know what kind of being I am.”

The Guild Master of the Red Moon.

Cha Dong-chul was looking down at the city of Incheon from the window.

‘It’s been five years since I ran away from Seoul. Back then, I had nothing, but now I am different.’

Five years ago.

Cha Dong-chul, who had been promoted to B-rank, didn’t know how strong other hunters were. He picked fights here and there until he met a man.

He didn’t know then that even if they were both Peak Hunters, A-rank and B-rank were completely different.

In that day’s fight, Cha Dong-chul lost one eye. Thinking that he could no longer live in Seoul, he left for Incheon.

That choice.

People laughed.

Hunters of higher ranks did not treat him well except in Seoul, so people made fun of Cha Dong-chul, saying that he had fallen to the bottom.

He endured such shame and spent the last five years. Hunters in Incheon joined him with the title of Peak Hunter, and now it has become a huge guild with over a hundred hunters.

His right eye throbbed.

Soon.

When he was promoted to A-rank, Cha Dong-chul would find the being who made him like this and take terrible revenge.

‘Sal-Gwi. You may have forgotten me, but I have not forgotten you. Wait. I will come to find you soon.’

Sal-Gwi.

Among the A-rank hunters who barely exist in Korea, he is known as the most aggressive.

Cha Dong-chul felt a wall the day he met him.

Sal-Gwi was born with a special power, and he clearly witnessed what would happen if 0.01% of special beings were born with talent.

It was truly overwhelming swordsmanship. Cha Dong-chul knelt down to the attack that tore apart his body, and the opponent cut out his eye with a sword as if it were a reward.

Five years.

It was different now than it was then.

Cha Dong-chul worked hard to rise to A-rank, and a year ago, he had an incredible opportunity.

‘Stone of Memory. It’s an item that lets people who weren’t born with special powers get them. It can even let people cross into other worlds. I got my special power from the Stone of Memory. If I lead the Red Moon and attack Sal-Gwi after being promoted to A-rank, Sal-Gwi, no matter how strong he is, will not be able to handle a group led by me alone.’

He laughed.

It was heavenly luck.

Getting the Stone of Memory, which is worth more than billions of dollars, felt like fate. It was like heaven wanted him to get revenge on Sal-Gwi.

Squeeze.

Rumble!

Mana was boiling as he clenched his fist.

Intense power.

He wanted to take the promotion test soon.

The moment he announced the birth of a new A-rank hunter, the Red Moon would be famous not only in Incheon but also in Seoul.

At that moment, filled with hope,

he heard a voice pouring cold water on him.

“Guild Master! There’s a problem!”
