The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live A Normal Life [EN]: Chapter 171

“Yikes!”

“Die!”

The soldiers were very scared. They couldn’t be scared anymore.

The soldiers threatened Roman with desperate shouts, but when they realized it wasn’t working, they attacked first.

The Aura swordsmen rushed forward, using their Aura.

More than a dozen men attacked at once. They tricked themselves into believing they could beat Roman Dmitry.

Thwack!

The killing started.

Roman’s sword moved like lightning. Heads flew off the soldiers who ran at him first, falling to the ground with a heavy thud.

Blood shot out like a fountain, spraying everywhere.

The other soldiers were terrified. Their faces twisted in fear. They tried to run away, but it was too late. Roman Dmitry was on them. His sword cut through their bodies like they were made of paper.

Red blood and terrible screams mixed together in the air. The smell of blood filled his nose.

They followed the nobles and didn’t see the truth. Now, they could not escape death.

“…The Demon of Cairo!”

“Kraaah!”

People called Roman Dmitry the Demon of Cairo on the Southern Front in the Hector Kingdom.

The people of Cairo thought he was a hero, but if you were on the other side, you could see why they called him a demon.

He was too strong to beat.

He was the best in Cairo. Even Aura swordsmen fell as easily as regular soldiers. They couldn’t stop even one attack.

Blood, blood, blood.

A path opened up.

No one could stop Roman Dmitry in this red mess.

The noble group wasn’t usually this weak.

But they made a mistake that slowly made them weaker.

‘Marquis Benedict, you can’t let go of me, and that will hurt you.’

The public ranking matches.

Roman Dmitry made his opponents unable to fight.

People thought it was just part of the ranking matches, but Roman Dmitry knew he would fight the nobles from the start.

If he had killed Jayden, who was ranked 99th, the nobles wouldn’t have sent their swordsmen to the public ranking matches.

But they thought it was okay to be hurt a little, so important members of their group showed up as Roman’s opponents.

That was their mistake.

Important people, like Oscar, fell without anyone helping them.

Roman made sure to send mana into Oscar’s body, his last opponent, which destroyed his Aura pathways.

Marquis Benedict didn’t know this, even as he stood in Roman’s way.

He didn’t know that the strongest sword he had wasn’t just hurt for a while, but that his life as a swordsman was over.

From the beginning, Roman Dmitry had been getting ready to fight the nobles.

Marquis Benedict thought it was the perfect time, but he was walking right into danger.

Thud.

A knight stumbled and fell.

The noble soldiers around him couldn’t bring themselves to attack.

Maybe if they had a chance to win, but they didn’t want to die for nothing.

Thud, thud.

Roman walked past them.

He acted like he didn’t see the soldiers shaking and pointing their weapons at him. He followed Marquis Benedict, holding a sword dripping with blood.

The soldiers looked away.

They couldn’t accept what was happening.

Slowly.

Roman didn’t hurry.

He let his opponent get far enough away.

Roman Dmitry went in the direction Marquis Benedict had gone.

Living power.

The power behind Cairo.

Marquis Benedict never hurried, not even in front of the King. But now, he ran as fast as he could, sweat pouring down his face.

‘Running to the royal palace isn’t smart. If Roman Dmitry is planning something with the King, I might be killed without a fight. I should go back to my territory for now. If I get my forces together there, I can fix this.’

It was the best idea.

Marquis Benedict ran until he couldn’t breathe. His heart pounded, and he could hear his heavy breathing. The sounds of his heavy breathing.

The expensive jewelry on his body fell to the ground, but he didn’t even look back.

The nobles of the noble group ran after him.

It was strange to see the powerful people of Cairo running away like that.

Marquis Benedict got to the warp gate.

“Haa, haa. Connect to Benedict territory now!”

“What’s going on…”

Slap!

He didn’t have time to explain. Marquis Benedict slapped the soldier, his face red with anger.

“You son of a bitch! Don’t you know who I am?! If you have time to ask questions, hurry up and connect to Benedict territory! If you’re late, I’ll kill your entire family for three generations!”

“Y-Yes, sir!”

The soldiers turned pale.

They quickly connected the coordinates.

All the workers came out and started the warp gate.

Whoosh-

They used only a few people and worked as fast as possible.

Warp gates usually take a long time to set up, but they finished very quickly because Marquis Benedict asked them to.

But they couldn’t take all the nobles of the noble group like he wanted.

Marquis Benedict stepped onto the warp gate first, and the others followed him based on their power.

“You guys go in the next round!”

“Marquis!”

The nobles who were left behind turned pale.

The warp gate had a delay.

It would take a while for the next turn, so it was almost impossible to escape through the warp gate.

Fwoosh-

Marquis Benedict didn’t care about their desperate looks.

He disappeared in a bright light.

“Damn it!”

“You son of a bitch.”

The nobles cursed.

Being the head of the noble group didn’t matter now.

The nobles tried to run away on foot.

They stopped like they had been struck by lightning.

Roman Dmitry.

He had arrived.

One of the nobles saw him holding a blood-stained sword and said in a shaky voice.

“…Please, calm down. What will happen if you kill us all? If I die here, my family will do anything to get revenge. Please, sir, I have a family! Don’t kill me! So, spare me. If you spare me, I’ll leave the noble group and follow the Dmitry family from now on.”

His voice was desperate.

He knelt down, acting like he would give up everything.

The other nobles did the same.

All their escorting soldiers were dead, so their only choice was to beg for their lives.

Roman smirked.

“It’s too late.”

These people had come to him with bad plans.

Maybe if they had stayed out of it, but they crossed a line.

Grab!

“Ack!”

He grabbed a noble by the hair.

There was no way to fight back.

He could only struggle, unable to get out of Roman’s grip.

He pushed down on his head.

He looked at the other nobles.

“If you draw your sword, you have to pay the price.”

He cut his neck.

Blood sprayed everywhere as he screamed like a pig.

The nobles who had fallen to the ground lost their minds and wet themselves.

The Cairo Royal Palace was in chaos.

“A battle has started in the middle of the capital! It seems Marquis Benedict’s noble group and Roman Dmitry had a fight, and Roman Dmitry is killing the noble group!”

“…W-What is that?”

Daniel Cairo was shocked.

A massacre.

This wasn’t normal.

Fighting in the capital, and Roman Dmitry drawing his sword against Marquis Benedict, the power behind Cairo, was unexpected.

He felt something bad was going to happen.

The battle in the capital meant one thing.

‘Could this be a rebellion?’

Maybe.

Today might be the day.

Roman Dmitry had defeated Count Nicholas.

Because of the public ranking match, Count Nicholas had to fight alone, and the royalist group’s strongest weapon was gone.

That meant Daniel Cairo couldn’t protect himself.

If Roman Dmitry attacked the royal palace with bad plans, the rebellion would win.

The vice-commander of the Royal Knights shouted, his neck veins popping out.

“Call all the Royal Knights and royal guards now! We don’t know when a traitor will attack the royal palace. From now on, protecting His Majesty the King is our top priority!”

“Yes, sir!”

The soldiers moved together.

The royal palace was in chaos.

Daniel Cairo took a deep breath, facing a sudden rebellion.

‘…Is this what I was meant to face?’

Rebellion.

He knew this would happen someday.

The royalist group was barely holding on to power by using Count Nicholas, but they weren’t strong enough to stop other groups.

His life was like a fly.

Like a candle in the wind, if any group decided to rebel, they would have lost the throne a long time ago.

This was going to happen.

His heart was racing, but Daniel Cairo tried to stay calm.

Then,

“Your Majesty! Roman Dmitry has arrived at the royal palace!”

The leader of the rebellion had finally arrived.

Everyone was tense.

The royal family knew what to expect.

They thought Roman Dmitry would start killing people as soon as he came in, but Roman did what the royal family usually does.

“Disarm!”

Thud.

He took off his armor.

He put down his weapons.

The Royal Knights, who were hostile at first, followed the order and took Roman Dmitry to the King.

They were careful the whole time.

They surrounded him and pointed their swords, ready to attack Roman Dmitry at any moment.

Suddenly, Roman stopped.

He looked up at Daniel Cairo and showed respect.

“I greet His Majesty the King.”

“…Let’s skip the long and boring greetings. I heard something happened in the capital. Tell me what happened.”

He asked about the main point right away.

Was it a rebellion or not?

This was important to the Cairo royal family.

Everyone was watching, and Roman Dmitry said with a blood-stained face.

“It started when Marquis Benedict demanded strongly. Right after the public ranking match, he came to me with his troops and told me to follow the noble group from now on. There were hundreds of soldiers blocking me. It was breaking Cairo’s laws, and they said I was a traitor because I didn’t agree with Marquis Benedict. It wasn’t fair. Cairo follows Daniel Cairo, not Benedict, so I couldn’t listen to him.”

His voice was angry.

He showed strong feelings and looked at Daniel Cairo with steady eyes.

“So, I saw blood. Roman’s voice was low and hard. Even though I knew it was a problem, I couldn’t just give in.”

The atmosphere turned cold.

No matter the reason, Roman had broken Cairo’s rule.

His reason made sense, but the royalist group didn’t know how to react.

He wasn’t finished.

Roman Dmitry told them why he came to the royal palace.

“From now on, I want to make a proposal to His Majesty the King. If you promise what I want, the Dmitry family will be the sword of Cairo. We will cut off the noble group and fix Cairo’s messy power system.”

Everyone was shocked.

Dmitry and the noble group were fighting.

The royalist group didn’t expect this at all.
