The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live A Normal Life [EN]: Chapter 251

Kevin felt his mind sharpen, like his senses were suddenly turned up.

Before, he had only focused on Sven, feeling his movements right in front of him. Now, it was like he could see and hear everything around them in sharp detail. He noticed the way Sven’s chest rose and fell with each breath, the twitch of muscles in his sword arm. From these tiny clues, Kevin could guess what Sven might do next.

Just like now.

Whoosh—

Rumble!

His hair whipped in the wind.

Sven’s attack narrowly missed, and Sven and Kevin locked eyes.

A moment.

A flash.

The sword cut through the air.

Kevin attacked quickly, and Sven also used his aura to defend himself.

Fighting Sven head-on would be a disadvantage for Kevin. Just before the swords hit, Kevin changed direction and jumped back.

Tap.

He moved from the front to the left.

Sven followed his movement.

But when he looked to the left, Kevin had vanished to the right like a ghost.

Rumble!

The Extreme Step.

It was the martial art of the Mad Demon.

The movement was so fast it could confuse the opponent, and Kevin used the small opening that Sven showed.

He made a small cut on Sven’s leg.

That was the best attack Kevin could make. But as he got close enough to attack Sven, Sven’s powerful aura came down on Kevin’s head like lightning.

Wham!

Rumble!

Kevin dodged the attack.

He never faced him directly.

Even though he had become stronger, his instincts kept warning him that Sven’s attack was too powerful to block.

[Front!]

[Ahead!]

They thought as one.

Every time his instincts screamed warnings, Kevin quickly turned his head to avoid Sven’s attack.

The shockwaves from Sven’s aura felt like they would tear his skin apart.

Sven kept attacking, but Kevin never looked away from his opponent.

It was a losing fight.

Even if he attacked a hundred times.

He would die from a single hit.

Kevin’s sharp senses told him not to block Sven’s attacks directly.

“Truly amazing!” Sven shouted, sounding like he was enjoying the fight.

Since Roman Dmitri wasn’t here, and the person who could change the situation was gone, Sven was sure that no swordsman could stop him.

Still, he had to admire the skill of this 3-star aura swordsman.

Kevin was avoiding a direct fight because Sven’s aura was much stronger.

From the start, they had exchanged over a dozen blows, and Kevin was desperately trying to buy time by avoiding Sven’s aura.

It was like fighting a beast.

Kevin’s movements were based on instinct.

Kevin didn’t fight in a predictable way. He changed his moves to match Sven’s attacks and fought with everything he had.

So, Sven was sure of one thing.

‘Dmitri must never be allowed to live.’

This land.

This nation.

They were dangerous people.

Even though this world was still weak, there were many talented people like Kevin. It was not a coincidence.

Like the people who started empires in the past, Roman Dmitri clearly had a talent for finding talented people.

As time passed.

Dmitri would grow stronger quickly.

If he wasn’t stopped now, there was no telling what might happen in a year.

“It’s been a fun time.”

Rumble!

Suddenly, Sven’s power exploded outwards.

Dark energy filled the air, and Sven showed a level of power and speed that was much greater than before.

Wham! Wham! Wham!

Sven attacked and got close.

Even though Kevin saw and reacted to Sven, he couldn’t stop Sven’s sword from cutting his skin.

He quickly used his mana to protect himself.

The mana blocked some of the damage, and Kevin pushed his sword towards Sven’s weak spot.

It was a risky move.

Even in this situation, Kevin aimed for an opening like a beast, but this fight was unfair from the start.

Sven was a 6-star, and Kevin was a 3-star.

It wasn’t just that Sven was twice as strong. The difference in their power levels was much, much bigger. Just surviving until now was amazing.

Wham!

Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham!

A powerful shockwave exploded.

As their attacks hit each other, Kevin’s aura quickly got weaker, and blood came from his mouth.

He was completely defeated. Even with his new strength, Kevin could only hold out for a few minutes.

Even though he was losing, Kevin’s only thought was to stop Sven.

It was crazy.

He wanted to achieve his goal so badly that he kept fighting until the very end, even as his life was fading away.

Flash.

Blood splattered.

Sven’s sword finally cut through Kevin’s chest.

Flesh tore away.

A terrible pain shot through his chest, but Kevin looked at his opponent and smiled.

Sven said.

“Yes, you won.”

Just then.

Sven quickly raised his sword to block an attack from the side.

Wham!

Rumble!

Sven was pushed aside.

He turned and saw Fernando, using his aura to its fullest.

Fernando was just the beginning.

As he arrived, people like Henderson and McBurney also appeared.

‘…Kevin.’

Fernando looked at Kevin’s opponent.

Kevin was lying on the ground like a corpse.

The blood flowing from him made a puddle, and his weak breathing showed that he was close to death.

He might die like this.

Kevin had managed to last for five minutes against a 6-star aura swordsman, but Fernando felt a deep sadness for Kevin.

‘Foolish fellow.’

In fact.

Duke Dmitri wasn’t even in the room. As soon as Chronos’s attack began, he had been taken to a safe place, but Kevin had stayed behind on purpose. He had to.

He thought that if someone strong like him didn’t guard Duke Dmitri’s room, the attackers might realize Dmitri was gone and chase after him.

He was a foolish being. He could have tried to talk to them and find a way to stop fighting without risking his life, but Kevin risked his life to stop them from getting any closer.

Grip.

He gripped his sword tightly.

Fernando, watching Sven carefully, spoke to his comrades.

“He’s a 6-star swordsman,” someone shouted. “From now on, we fight with everything we have!”

Right after the words were spoken,

Swords crashed together with a loud *clang*! The ground *rumbled* as they charged forward.

Dmitri’s swordsmen, with Fernando in front, all rushed at Sven at the same time.

Fernando was at the front.

He was the only one from Dmitri strong enough to fight Sven directly, even if he couldn’t last long.

Their swords crashed together with a *wham*! The force of the hit made the ground *rumble*. They met in a powerful clash.

Fernando felt a huge shock, like his body was going to break. But he pushed his aura as hard as he could and fought back against Sven.

Even before Roman Dmitri taught him, Fernando was already strong, with a 4-star aura.

Fernando’s aura had grown quickly as he learned martial arts. It was strong and didn’t weaken easily, even against Sven’s 6-star aura.

At that moment, while Fernando kept Sven busy from the front, the other swordsmen from Dmitri attacked from every side.

With a *swish* of his sword and a *wham* of impact, Henderson attacked!

Henderson attacked at the perfect moment, just as Fernando did. He swung his sword down, aiming for Sven’s head.

Sven quickly hit Henderson back, but McBurney immediately jumped into the opening. He thrust his sword forward, aiming for a weak point.

At the same time, other swordsmen attacked Sven from behind. They worked together smoothly and naturally.

“You pests are annoying!” Sven growled. *Rumble!* A powerful aura burst out from Sven.

Just the force of Sven’s aura pushed back the other swordsmen. Then, he rushed towards Fernando, ready to attack with all his strength.

Sven’s aura was incredibly strong. It was so powerful it seemed to bend the air around him. Everyone watching knew they couldn’t stop this attack.

Fernando quickly jumped to the side, dodging Sven’s attack at the last second.

“Fire Cannon!” Knox shouted. *Wham! Whoosh!* A blast of fire shot out!

Even Sven struggled against the strong flames. His shadow powers didn’t work at all against fire. Quickly, he raised his aura to shield himself from the flames that were about to surround him.

Right then, swordsmen including Fernando attacked again. They were well-trained for fights like this and knew how to fight strong enemies like Sven.

*Rumble!* Fernando kept attacking from the front. *Wham! Wham!* Other swordsmen struck at Sven’s weak spots from every direction.

The fight was wild and fast. If Sven defended his front, they attacked from the sides. If he blocked the sides, they came from the front and back. And if Sven tried to defend everywhere and attack back, Knox’s magic would blast in and stop him.

As the fight went on, Sven was forced backwards. The five minutes Kevin had bought them felt like they were leading Sven closer to defeat.

But then, Sven spoke, “It looks like I’ll have to kill all of you.” He still hadn’t shown his true power.

Demons from the abyss each have special powers. The older they get, the stronger they become, with powers that are not normal in this world. Sven’s power was much greater than even the magic master Roman Dmitri had fought before.

Sven and Mystic, the demons sent on this mission, had lived for hundreds of years.

What Kevin showed them was just a quick moment of hope. From the beginning, they probably couldn’t really defeat Sven.

*Wham!* Sven stomped on the ground. The earth shook like an earthquake. Dark magic spread out quickly, covering everyone nearby.

Darkness wrapped around them like chains. Sven’s power grew even stronger. At the same time, he moved so fast it seemed like he cut through the air, and swung his sword at Fernando.

“First, him,” Sven thought, looking at Fernando. “He’s the one leading their attack. If I defeat him, the others will fall apart.”

Fernando’s face showed fear. He felt like he was about to die.

Watching everything happen, Henderson’s eyes went wide. He knew if Fernando died, beating Sven would be almost impossible. ‘If this keeps going on, we’re finished,’ he thought.

Henderson, who came from humble common origins, was captivated by Roman Dmitri and chose the path of a swordsman.

Henderson made remarkable progress and proved his existence by defeating opponents.

But that didn’t mean he thought highly of himself. Everyone who followed Roman Dmitri made tremendous progress.

As much as he worked, he developed that much. Others who were much stronger than him said he was just average.

Chris was called the flash of Dmitri and became the best swordsman in Dmitri, excluding Roman Dmitri. Chris’s growth was a natural result because he was initially evaluated as Dmitri’s genius.

Kevin was just a young boy, but he made remarkable progress comparable to Chris, and Fernando showed explosive growth as soon as he followed Roman Dmitri.

Volkan and Pooky had various experiences as war mercenaries, while McBurney was just a one-armed swordsman but had the ability to lead the battlefield.

He had become stronger in his own way, but what meaning did his existence have in the group following Dmitri?

Henderson was in the middle with mediocre talent, and so he reached one conclusion.

He had always thought, ‘If there’s a really big danger, I need to do what I can to help others, even if I’m not as talented as them. I need to find something I can do.’

He never forgot this idea. That’s why he didn’t hesitate now.

Henderson unleashed all his aura and rushed forward with everything he had. *Crack!* His aura broke apart.

A huge impact hit Henderson, and he stared at Sven, eyes wide open. Sven looked surprised. He didn’t think anyone would jump in to save Fernando, who Sven was trying to kill.

Sven’s attack ripped through Henderson’s chest. Henderson’s face twisted in pain, but he still pushed his aura out, trying to block Sven’s power as much as he could.

Just then, Fernando, running past Henderson, said, “Thank you.” Then, Fernando unleashed his aura at Sven.
