The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live A Normal Life [EN]: Chapter 598

Thirty minutes earlier.

The situation in Germany was not good.

Dozens of S-Rank monsters, huge, powerful monsters called Green Dragons, had appeared. But Germany was well-prepared, thanks to Roman Dmitry’s training.

They knew it wouldn’t be an easy fight. Even as soldiers were being defeated, the German commanders shouted with determination.

“Stay calm!”

“Time is on our side. If we can hold out for four hours, until Emperor Roman Dmitry arrives, we will win.”

“Fill the gaps! If we lose our focus, Berlin will be destroyed!”

The soldiers followed orders with discipline.

Leading them was Germany’s S-Rank hunter, Michael the Iron Fortress.

[Turret activation.]

Whirr.

Clunk, clunk.

On the city walls, the turrets, which were for anti-air defense, became magical weapons as Michael focused his magic on them. There were over a thousand turrets.

Some people thought Berlin had too many turrets. But now, facing the Great Calamity, Germany knew they were wrong. They were right to build them.

Michael was their greatest weapon.

His presence alone gave them the courage to face the Green Dragons, these terrifying monsters that breathed fire and destruction.

Boom!

Tap tap tap tap tap tap!

The turrets roared, spitting fire and light. Some fired huge bombs, while others sprayed thousands of bullets, unleashing great firepower on the Green Dragons flying in the sky and firing their breath.

Of course, Germany couldn’t win on its own.

Because of Michael’s abilities, they could hold out a little longer, but they knew they would eventually reach their limit.

However, they believed that Roman Dmitry would save them and that Germany could hold out for four hours.

They fought with all their might.

Countless people died, but the fact that this was the last Great Calamity gave people the strength to keep going.

It was different from the previous Great Calamities. Before, they had to prepare for the next disaster while still fighting. But now, they wouldn’t give up because this was truly the end.

With strong determination, people became united. Suddenly, the space twisted, and Krakel, an incredibly strong, almost god-like being known as an Absolute, appeared.

“Foolish humans,” Krakel said. “Remember, you all die because of Roman Dmitry.”

Krakel, who had disappeared from the Korean Empire, was now in Germany.

Instantly, Michael gathered his mana.

He knew he had to defeat Krakel, not the Green Dragons, and he had to give it his all.

[Bombardment.]

Rumble.

Kwakwakwakwakwak!

He unleashed great firepower. Like fighter jets bombing the ground, countless magic bombs were fired at Krakel.

Because many magic circles helped Michael’s mana, he could unleash power that went beyond his S-Rank limits.

However…

Click.

Krakel lowered his finger. With that single motion, something unbelievable happened.

Wham!

Kwakwakwakwakwal!

A wall of dark water crashed down from the sky. It had been empty space, but now a huge amount of water fell as if the sea was overflowing.

Boom boom boom boom.

The bombs that touched the water exploded. The tsunami not only destroyed Michael’s firepower but also swept away the German soldiers on the city walls.

The air filled with screams, the smell of smoke and burning. Germany’s defense system collapsed, and terrible screams were heard from all directions.

The German commanders tried to respond, but their hopes were shattered when they saw Michael swept away by the tsunami.

“Aaaargh!”

Michael could no longer be found. People realized what it meant to face an Absolute.

Humanity could never win on its own.

The scene in Germany was terrible. Then, the story moves to the Korean Empire.

Immediately after the Absolute disappeared, the Korean Empire fell into chaos.

Thousands of gates appeared in Incheon alone, and countless monsters came from all directions.

It was a despairing situation.

The soldiers of the Korean Empire were known for their strong will, but even they doubted if humanity could survive.

Squawk!

Grrrr.

Tap tap tap tap tap.

The monsters charged in. The moment they found a human, they tore them apart.

‘The final stance of the Heavenly Demon Sword Art.’

Flash.

Kwakwakwakwakwak!

With one strike, Roman Dmitry destroyed the monsters in front of him, making his presence known so that people would not lose hope.

Then, battles broke out everywhere.

The soldiers of the Korean Empire gritted their teeth and fought back. The peaceful Korean Empire was gone.

After about five minutes, desperate news arrived.

-It’s a disaster! An Absolute has appeared in America!

-An Absolute has appeared in China!

-In Australia…

It was the worst situation possible.

Roman Dmitry had prepared for the final battle with the Absolutes, worrying about how they would use their abilities.

‘If the Absolutes think they can’t defeat me, they will try to destroy humanity by moving through space. It is pointless for me to stay in the Korean Empire. If this fight won’t end until I deal with the Absolutes, I must hunt them down.’

If he left, the Korean Empire would be destroyed.

It was a difficult choice.

The Absolutes knew this and forced him to choose, but Roman Dmitry made his decision without hesitation.

Flash.

Kwakwakwakwakwak!

He destroyed the monsters.

Then, he shouted with a voice filled with mana so that everyone could hear.

“Soldiers of the Korean Empire, listen! I will now hunt down the Absolutes. I will kill them all and end this war. Hold on until I return. Believe in me, Roman Dmitry. Just as I saved the Salamander Continent, the ending in this world will be the same.”

He turned to leave.

Kim Junhyuk was there.

“Can you hold out?”

“I will do whatever it takes.”

“Good.”

He passed by him.

He heard the sound of people dying behind him, but he knew the only way to save the Korean Empire was clear.

‘You will never escape from me.’

The Absolutes would experience being hunted for the first time.

Only a few minutes.

Germany was drowning in despair. Ruined buildings filled Berlin, a reminder of the terrible attacks. Dust and smoke still hung in the air, stinging the eyes and throat. Krakel looked down at the destruction, a thrill running through him at the sight of Berlin reduced to rubble.

“Such foolish creatures,” he murmured, his voice echoing in the desolate space. “They dare to think they can survive, fighting with the very power we granted them in the first place.”

His sense of self-importance was returning.

Roman Dmitry.

He was merely a mutant.

As he had experienced in countless dimensions, insignificant life forms could never stop him.

It was then.

[Krakel. Cease and move. Lingering in one place for too long might allow Roman Dmitry to catch your tail.]

It was Volfir.

It was very practical advice, but Krakel felt a moment of resistance.

‘Now that Roman Dmitry has defeated Kargas, I admit that he is a being even we can hardly handle. But he is just a human. It is impossible for him to chase us, who rule over dimensions, and even if Roman Dmitry appears in Germany, we can simply escape beyond the dimensions.’

[But……]

‘Volfir. I don’t want to look weak again.’

He was resolute.

Volfir continued to speak from beyond his consciousness, but Krakel ignored him, enjoying the spectacle before him.

He and Kargas were different.

Kargas was arrogant and was destroyed by Roman Dmitry, but he intended to run without looking back the moment Roman Dmitry appeared.

A reasonable compromise.

It was the bottom line that Krakel could accept.

He could not tolerate making a fuss about running away from a being who had not even shown himself yet.

At that moment.

Whirr!

Bzzzt! Bzzzt! Bzzzt! Bzzzt!

The dimension distorted.

Beyond that.

Something appeared.

The moment Krakel recognized that it was Roman Dmitry, he showed his power and tried to escape beyond the dimensions.

Unlike the powers of humans, Krakel could break the boundaries of dimensions in just 0.1 seconds.

But then.

Flash!

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

Krakel’s body was torn apart.

Plop plop plop.

What was once Krakel’s body fell from the sky.

The world of 0.1 seconds.

Roman Dmitry pierced through that world and tore Krakel’s existence apart before he could even escape.

“……Wow.”

“Ah ah.”

On the ramparts, people were stunned.

The Absolute Being was like a god to them, but Roman Dmitry tore apart that god, proving that his words were true.

Instantly, people burst into enthusiastic cheers.

There were still dangerous elements lurking around, including the Green Dragon, but the death of the Absolute Being gave them a strong conviction of victory.

From the Korean Empire to Germany, Roman Dmitry could move between dimensions so quickly because he had prepared. He had set up a special ‘Teleport Magic Circle’ before the Great Disaster.

The target was only one person.

This magic circle was special. It was made to teleport one person very, very quickly. It was much faster than old teleport magic.

This time, Kim Pan-seok’s help was not needed either.

The German wizards activated the magic circle at Roman Dmitry’s signal, and the result was Krakel’s death.

The Absolute Being was clearly trying to run away as soon as he saw me. This shows they are afraid of me and want to avoid fighting me.

Thud.

He landed on the ramparts.

Then, he spoke to the German commander.

“Convey the scene you have just witnessed to people all over the world. Tell them that an Absolute Being appeared in the heart of Berlin but could not withstand even my blow. You survived because you endured, and reveal the pathetic truth of the Absolute Beings who called themselves gods but tried to run away when they faced ‘me.’”

Krakel’s end was different from Kargas.

Unlike him, who had expressed hostility towards Roman Dmitry, Krakel tried to run without looking back and was torn apart at once.

The two deaths meant completely different things.

The fact that the Absolute Beings had given up on a fight with Roman Dmitry meant that the existence of the Absolute Being was no longer seen as a god.

The German commanders nodded.

“Understood.”

“We will let everyone know what we have just witnessed.”

Hope spread.

They believed that Roman Dmitry was the person who would save humanity, as they had just confirmed.

Countries that had been attacked by the Absolute Being, like Germany, would surely gain hope from Germany’s example.

Roman Dmitry turned his steps.

‘So far, two.’

The estimated number is nine.

It was still a long way to go.

With the death of Krakel following Kargas, they would surely prepare even more, like rabbits digging burrows.

But.

‘I will destroy them all.’

Their paths would surely cross again.

One person.

Ten Absolute Beings remained.

Roman Dmitry’s killing of Krakel was an encouraging achievement, but with every minute and second consumed, the Absolute Beings created dire consequences.

Volfir’s plan worked properly.

Australia, which could not even stop the monsters in the first place, had to face a reality that was difficult to handle due to the appearance of the Absolute Being.

Wham!

Rumble!

The ramparts collapsed.

To be exact, it melted in the lava, and the soldiers who had shown enthusiasm looked up at the sky with desperate faces.

“What a lovely face.”

The Absolute Being, Karte, showed a ferocious smile.

At the sight of humanity being swept away helplessly, he became convinced that he was a ‘god,’ just like Krakel had.

Look at this sight! He could cross dimensions at will and manipulate nature with a single gesture. What else could this be if not a god?

It was then.

“?!”

Beyond his consciousness, he felt Krakel’s death.

He was bewildered.

Kargas had foolishly attempted a full-scale war and was killed, but Krakel had clearly tried to avoid fighting Roman Dmitry.

Yet, the difference in power was so great that he could not escape and died. As his fully charged self-esteem fell, something was caught in Karte’s sensitive senses.

Beyond the dimension, something set foot on the border.

‘It’s not Roman Dmitry.’

Then there was no reason to run away.

Soon, the being who broke the boundaries of the dimension and revealed himself was a human with a familiar face, not Roman Dmitry.

“Heut-cha.”

Thud.

The man landed on the floor.

The man swept back his hair and looked up at the Absolute Being, Karte.

“You goddamn bastards. What, do you think you can handle it because it’s not His Majesty the Emperor?”

His identity was none other than Kim Pan-seok.
