The Heavenly Demon Can't Live A Normal Life [EN]: Chapter 604

A strange feeling hung in the air.

People watched as Kevin walked towards the monsters. He moved slowly, like he was just going for a walk.

“Kyaak!”

Grrrr.

The monsters reacted quickly.

At first, they stepped back like they were afraid. But now, their eyes turned bright red, and they looked very angry.

They only wanted one thing: to destroy humans.

When the monsters saw this human walking towards them alone, they couldn’t hold back anymore. They all attacked at once.

“Kyaaak!”

Tap tap tap!

Kevin looked at the wave of black monsters rushing towards him. His face stayed calm.

Flash!

Thwack!

The head of the first monster to reach him exploded.

Even the tough skin of the A-grade monster ripped apart. The monsters behind it started bleeding from their arms and legs.

Splurt.

His sword movements were quick and clean.

Kevin kept cutting down monsters, moving into the middle of the huge group.

From far away, it looked like chaos. It seemed like Kevin was surrounded by too many monsters to count. But close to Kevin, everything was simple and deadly.

“Kyaak!”

Whoosh!

He blocked their attacks.

Monsters showed their teeth and swung their claws from everywhere. But Kevin saw exactly what they would do. Their attacks were useless.

His movements were perfect. He stopped their attacks and then attacked back.

Before, he would rush in and confuse the monsters. But now, Kevin didn’t need to do that.

He controlled everything around him.

He saw every attack from all the monsters at the same time. So, he was never in danger.

A-grade or B-grade? It didn’t matter. To Kevin, they were just monsters. His power cut them down easily.

This Kevin was different from the Kevin of the past. Thirty years ago…

In the past, Kevin was taken over by the Guihon Magic. When he fought, he lost control of his mind. He could barely control the magic, even when using all his power.

No one knew about the hard work Kevin had done for thirty years. Every day, he trained and pushed himself as far as he could go.

The Guihon Magic became very strong and almost made him crazy. But his mind became even stronger, going beyond what anyone thought was possible.

This was something new. Even the person who created the Guihon Magic had never reached this level. It was a level humans were not supposed to reach.

He called it ‘Oneness.’ Now, he controlled the Guihon Magic, not the other way around.

The voices that had clamored noisily in his head melted into his senses, telling him everything about the monsters.

The monster rushing headlong from the front, the monster aiming for a blind spot, the monster digging into the ground to launch a surprise attack. Their existence and response methods were inputted into his mind in units of 0.1 seconds.

He felt calm. Even in the middle of the chaos, Kevin was strong and steady, like nothing could move him.

It was then.

“Be careful!”

Right behind him.

Kang Min-ho shouted.

Kang Min-ho had been watching Kevin fight, amazed by his power. Then, he saw something that shocked him.

[Human, die!] Something ripped open space itself. It was an S-grade monster – the Death Knight, known as the strongest fighter alone. It appeared!

After everything that had happened, Kang Min-ho was stunned.

This was Kevin, known as ‘Dmitry’s Fiend.’ Kang Min-ho knew Kevin was supposed to be strong. Sebastian had said that Kevin and Chris, Roman Dmitry’s best helpers, were amazing. They were so strong they could destroy a whole area by themselves.

So, he expected Kevin to be powerful. But when he saw Kevin, he was more confused than impressed. He couldn’t help it. This man looked like he was in his forties.

It was different from the information he knew. Kevin should be in his early to mid-20s at most, but the man before him was at least 20 years older.

Kang Min-ho started to doubt. What was happening? The man had red hair, which was Kevin’s color, and said he was Kevin. But even before the fight, Kang Min-ho couldn’t stop doubting.

Something was wrong for sure. If Roman Dmitry’s plan had worked perfectly, the Kevin who was described as a ‘boy’ when Roman Dmitry first met him should be here.

Then the fight started. Kang Min-ho watched Kevin defeat monsters all by himself. He got goosebumps, even though he still had doubts.

“……”

He was amazed. It wasn’t just a few monsters. Kevin was facing maybe ten thousand monsters, filling his whole sight. But Kevin didn’t even flinch.

Kevin defeated them one after another, like a machine built for killing. Watching his quick movements and feeling his incredible power, Kang Min-ho knew one thing for sure.

‘I still don’t know if this is really Dmitry’s Fiend,’ Kang Min-ho thought. ‘He’s too old, and his movements are too controlled. It’s not how I imagined Dmitry’s Fiend at all. But… he’s been through so much. He’s faced death many times, I can feel it. Otherwise, how could he stay so calm in this crazy fight?’

Crack!

He stepped hard on a monster’s head. Blood sprayed out like a fountain, covering him. But Kevin didn’t even move, just like Roman Dmitry.

Kang Min-ho felt amazed. Kevin was so calm, even with so many monsters. He seemed sure he would win this fight. Maybe… maybe he really was Dmitry’s man.

That kind of confidence was rare. Kang Min-ho had seen it before, in Roman Dmitry.

Just then… Rumble. The air itself seemed to twist and bend.

A black cloud of energy appeared, and then something stepped out. It was the S-grade Death Knight.

‘Death Knight!’ Kang Min-ho thought. This was bad. He knew there were different kinds of Death Knights, even A-grade ones. But this Death Knight… it felt like it could destroy everything. It was definitely an S-grade.

This was supposed to be the strongest fighter, the one you should never fight directly. It pulled out a sword that glowed with dark magic.

Sreung!

This was really dangerous. Kang Min-ho yelled, ‘Be careful!’

Kang Min-ho was filled with worry. If Kevin lost… everything would be over. He and his daughter wouldn’t survive. He prayed Kevin, whoever he really was, could beat the Death Knight.

Kang Min-ho got ready to help, to do anything he could. But then… Flash! Swish! Kang Min-ho’s eyes widened. He saw it – the Death Knight’s head flying through the air. Kevin had defeated it in one hit.

It was unbelievable. First, he had doubted Kevin. Then, he admired him. Then, he was shocked. Now, he just couldn’t believe what he had just seen.

Kevin brushed dust off his clothes.

Blood rained down like a crimson shower.

Kevin, a single man, defeated all the monsters that attacked Shelter A. The air still smelled thick with blood, even after the crimson rain had slowed.

‘Impossible…’ He blinked, struggling to believe what he had just witnessed. He had seen it all, from beginning to end.

Witnessing Kevin’s solo slaughter, he understood why enemies called Dimitri’s ‘devil’ the ultimate terror.

Facing Kevin as an enemy would be a different kind of terror than facing Roman Dimitri. Kevin’s cold gaze was absolute; no monster escaped.

Kevin approached.

With a face as soaked in blood as his red hair, he looked at Kang Min-ho and asked calmly.

“Where is His Imperial Majesty, Roman Dimitri?”

“…He is currently pursuing the Absolutes. To end this chaos, we must deal with them all.”

“Then tell me how to join His Imperial Majesty. I will follow His Imperial Majesty and eliminate all the Absolutes.”

It was an arrogant statement.

The Absolutes were beings who had transcended the limits of life, yet there was no hesitation in Kevin’s statement that he would follow Roman Dimitri.

Kevin had already participated in the Demon World Conquest 30 years ago.

He had heard about how dangerous the Absolutes were, but that did not make him back down.

Kang Min-ho swallowed hard.

Knowing that Kevin’s words were not empty, he had no choice but to ask one thing.

“…I am truly sorry to ask this, but would you help the Daehan Empire before following His Imperial Majesty? The Daehan Empire is in a very dangerous situation right now, not just here. Please, please help us.”

A little while ago.

The communication was cut off.

The communication device was destroyed in the chaotic situation, but before that, he heard that it was so dangerous that they could not even help Shelter A.

Perhaps the worst situation had unfolded. Kang Min-ho knew that dealing with the Absolutes was important, but he had to muster the courage for the sake of the Daehan Empire’s safety.

Roman Dimitri, too.

That is what he would want.

As much as he emphasized the safety of the Daehan Empire, Kang Min-ho was desperate for Kevin’s help.

However.

“What do you think Dimitri’s participation means?”

“…What do you mean?”

Kevin smiled knowingly. ‘These people,’ he thought, ‘they still don’t know Dimitri’s past.’

He saw the worry in Kang Min-ho’s trembling eyes, Kevin spoke in a firm and clear voice.

“Do not worry. The danger to the Daehan Empire will soon be removed.”

The Daehan Empire’s crisis deepened. Despair washed over Kim Jun-hyuk.

He thought he could somehow endure it as much as he had prepared, but even though only 4 hours had passed, the Daehan Empire was cornered.

The power of the Absolutes was tremendous. Not only did they create thousands of gates, but they also had destructive magic that destroyed the walls, and Kim Jun-hyuk swallowed hard.

‘…In the end, is this how it will be.’

There was no perfect victory.

From now on, he would fight desperately.

Even if many people died, he would fight and fight until Roman Dimitri slaughtered all the Absolutes.

If Roman Dimitri achieved victory at the end of that.

Even if he could not survive, Kim Jun-hyuk shouted at the top of his lungs, just knowing that someone would enjoy that peace.

He encouraged them not to fall and to resist the enemies.

In that situation.

Kim Jun-hyuk received a call.

[Mayor! We have secured a dimensional passage!]

It was earlier than expected.

As the Absolutes created numerous gates, the Mages of the Hundred Days secured a passage earlier than 4 hours.

At the same time.

Kim Jun-hyuk witnessed a sight that would go down in history.

Whoosh.

Rattle!

A dimensional passage was formed.

And beyond that, a tremendous vibration echoed.

The people who were fighting intertwined with the monsters turned around with surprised faces for a moment.

Soon.

“All troops, charge!”

“Charge!”

“Waaaah!”

From beyond the passage, a vast army emerged. At the front was Chris, a blur of motion, his sword a silver flash as he tore through the monster ranks. Dimitri’s soldiers surged behind him, a wave of steel and fury.

It was like a tsunami of soldiers. Just as a tsunami overwhelms the land, the monsters were swept away from every direction, their roars and snarls swallowed by the thunder of marching feet and the clang of steel.

“Die!”

“For His Imperial Majesty!”

Hostility overflowed.

The monsters revealed their bloodshot eyes and counterattacked, but Dimitri’s soldiers blocked it and stabbed their weapons into the vitals.

That was not the appearance of ordinary soldiers. Even when monsters corresponding to A-rank rushed in roughly, the soldiers calmly blocked them and eventually blew away the opponent’s head.

Splurt!

That was not all.

When a monster using magic unleashed its magic power, the soldiers activated ‘something’ in unison.

“Form the Iron Wall formation!”

Flash.

Rumble!

The artifact shone.

Suddenly, a huge iron wall was formed, and it filled the space densely as if building a fortress.

And then on top of that.

Wham!

Rumble!

Magic exploded.

They blocked the monsters’ magic with an iron wall, and then it scattered like a mirage for a moment, and once again Dimitri’s soldiers swept away the monsters.

The changes over the past 30 years were not only the achievements of key figures like Kevin.

Magical civilization.

It had made remarkable progress.

Now, Dimitri’s world had gained a powerful magical power to the extent that it could be applied to ordinary soldiers.

Wham!

Whenever magic exploded.

They responded with an Iron Wall formation without fail.

Then, they immediately launched a counterattack, and Dimitri’s soldiers avoided the monster’s attack and stabbed their swords into its heart.

Thwack!

“Die!”

His eyes widened.

The soldiers of the Daehan Empire.

No, even Kim Jun-hyuk was so surprised that he lost his mind.

People had expectations for the picture that Dimitri’s participation would bring.

They thought that the names they had heard of, such as Dimitri’s Flash Chris, Dimitri’s Devil Kevin, and Dimitri’s best magician Felix, would be active and help.

But their presence was not as prominent as they thought. Chris also took on the role of commander and showed himself commanding the soldiers.

And yet.

They overwhelmingly swept the battlefield.

It was not the activity of one or two special individuals, but the strength of the whole Dimitri force that was overwhelming.

“…Is this the power of Dimitri.”

Goosebumps rose.

Dimitri’s participation.

It was perhaps, a thought that it might create results beyond expectations.
