The Heavenly Demon Can't Live A Normal Life [EN]: Chapter 377

Sanchez felt his face go white. He looked around and saw bodies everywhere. Bodies were strewn about.

The Valhalla warriors had been loud and excited. They wanted to see Roman Dmitry’s honorable fight. But now, they were all dead. They could not even stop one enemy.

There were no survivors except for those who had run away.

The swords had been like a storm. Anyone caught in it was ripped apart by a power too strong to fight. The bodies on the ground were broken and ruined.

“……Ah.”

His eyes twitched.

The situation confused Sanchez.

The moment the Valhalla Emperor died, Sanchez felt his mind break. He couldn’t remember what he did next. When he became aware again, he saw this terrible scene.

Bits of memory came back to him. He remembered he had ordered the attack. Then, Sanchez threw up everything in his stomach.

“Ugh.”

It was disgusting.

He wanted to deny what was happening.

But reality was too clear.

The Valhalla warriors had been killed. Those who couldn’t beat Roman Dmitry had left Sanchez and decided to run away.

Sanchez threw up again and again.

His eyes were red and watery, like he had been drinking too much. In a voice full of despair, he asked Roman Dmitry, “Please tell me the truth. Was the Valhalla Emperor, Duke Vieto, really working for Chronos?”

“Yes.”

“Haa.”

He squeezed his eyes shut.

It was terrible.

After Morales’s death, the person he had given his life to was working for Chronos.

He didn’t doubt it was true.

If he thought about it, Roman Dmitry wouldn’t risk telling a lie.

Sanchez and the Valhalla warriors knew that.

They couldn’t talk calmly. First, they were shocked to see the Emperor killed. Second, they were too proud to admit Valhalla was working for Chronos.

In the end, it was his fault.

His order started everything. The Valhalla warriors were filled with anger. They chose to attack.

“Couldn’t you understand why Valhalla was angry? If you didn’t kill the Emperor so fast, but explained things better and gave us time to understand this hard truth, Valhalla and Dmitry could still be friends. Why did you do this? Why?!”

He shouted.

He blamed Roman Dmitry.

Sanchez felt like his mind was breaking. He felt like he couldn’t breathe unless he did this.

Roman Dmitry said with cold eyes:

“You still don’t understand. Valhalla and Dmitry were never going to be truly friends. Think about Valhalla’s leaders, Duke Vieto and Stern. Once we knew they were both working for Chronos, there was no way to have peace. Why do you think Duke Vieto accepted the truth in front of everyone?”

“Th, that’s…….”

“Don’t think too much about it. No matter what I did, Chronos would have destroyed Valhalla and Dmitry. Duke Vieto was just used by them. Whether he stayed in charge, or I killed him and made Valhalla angry, it would have been bad. The truth doesn’t matter to Chronos. Duke Vieto accepting death shows we were in a trap from the beginning. We couldn’t win.”

Alexandre was clever and sneaky.

When Roman Dmitry found out the truth, Alexandre quickly gave up Duke Vieto. He wanted to make Valhalla angry at Dmitry.

Sanchez covered his face.

His face twisted in pain. He begged, ”

Please. Please, can’t you save Valhalla?”

If things go on like this, Valhalla is done for.

Chronos used them. Valhalla’s royal family will be destroyed, and the empire will become weak and unimportant.

Roman Dmitry smiled.

Sanchez was a warrior, and he was foolish.

Duke Vieto being abandoned meant that the people working for Chronos were now in charge of Valhalla.

What would they do next? They would blame Roman Dmitry no matter what the truth was. They would make the people angry at him.

The Valhalla Empire would use all its power to fight Dmitry.

So, Roman Dmitry stopped explaining the truth.

Sanchez was going to die anyway. Roman Dmitry didn’t care what Sanchez thought of him.

“It’s already too late.”

Blood sprayed everywhere. Sanchez’s body fell to the ground.

It was as expected.

The new leaders who were now in charge of Valhalla were very angry when they heard about what happened in the southern jungle.

Bang!

“This is like declaring war on Valhalla!”

“That’s right. He dared to kill the Valhalla Emperor in Valhalla’s land. I know Roman Dmitry has done good things for Valhalla, but we can’t ignore this. We must get our soldiers ready now. We must punish Roman Dmitry by fighting Dmitry!”

They were very angry.

Everyone seemed ready to start a big war. Then, a new person, Baron Ayrn, spoke quietly.

“But still, shouldn’t we check the facts first? Roman Dmitry thought the Valhalla Emperor was secretly working with Chronos…”

Thwack!

“What stupid things are you saying! Check the facts? We don’t need to. Everyone saw Roman Dmitry kill the Valhalla Emperor in public. That’s enough reason to punish him, no matter what. Baron Ayrn, think! You’re lucky to be here now that Valhalla is changing. You should be thinking about how to get ahead, not saying stupid things.”

“Yes, that’s right. Don’t say that again.”

Baron Ayrn couldn’t even finish talking.

Everyone disagreed with him strongly. The leader of Valhalla spoke again, making everyone listen.

His name was Count Snodin.

He was the one who helped the rebellion succeed by supporting the soldiers when Duke Vieto was in trouble.

“Okay, here’s our plan. First, we will tell everyone that Roman Dmitry did bad things. If we show he was wrong, the Kingdom Alliance won’t have a good reason to help him. We will let Roman Dmitry’s people leave Valhalla land through the warp points. But not Roman Dmitry. We will close all the warp gates in the south and block the roads to trap him. The southern jungle is huge. It will take him a long time to reach Marin or another country. We will trap Roman Dmitry. And while he’s trapped…”

Tap.

He moved a piece on the map.

The Valhalla army, represented by the piece, moved toward Hector.

“The Valhalla army will go north and destroy Dmitry.”

That afternoon, the continent was turned upside down.

Valhalla told everyone that Roman Dmitry was bad. Right away, the Kingdom Alliance had a meeting online.

King Franck spoke with a worried face.

“This is a little confusing. Of course, we should help Roman Dmitry, the leader of our group. But if Valhalla is telling the truth, he killed their Emperor. Then, we don’t have a good reason to help him.”

It was a good point.

But as soon as he said that, three screens showed people disagreeing.

[I believe in Roman Dmitry. If he killed the Valhalla Emperor, there must have been a good reason.]

[We must send soldiers now! Valhalla is saying bad things about Roman Dmitry to make it seem okay to attack him. They will send their army to the southern jungle to hurt Roman Dmitry. We can’t just watch and do nothing.]

[I agree. And we need to get ready for a big war with Valhalla.]

Three people: King Redford, Edwin Hector, and King Cairo.

The situation had changed.

Most people agreed to help Dmitry, but King Franck wasn’t the only one worried.

[I don’t think we should just help Dmitry without question. Chronos and Valhalla didn’t care about what was right. They became bad and hurt other countries for no good reason. We can’t do the same thing.]

It was King Umberto.

He was willing to do anything for Dmitry.

However, Umberto had been through hard times and didn’t trust those in power because the empire had treated him badly.

Roman Dmitry was becoming as strong as the two biggest powers on the continent.

If he was just killing people without a good reason, they had to rethink their relationship with him.

Some people were for helping Dmitry, and some were against it. The difference was what they believed about Roman Dmitry.

Those who supported him had seen what Roman Dmitry was like and believed he had a good reason.

In the end, everyone asked, ”

Count Fabius, what do you think?”

Everyone looked at his screen. He had been watching quietly, not showing any feelings.

Count Fabius said:

[Even if he killed the Valhalla Emperor simply because he was a threat, or if all the things the Valhalla Empire is claiming now are true. So what?]

He was sitting in a strange way. He looked uncomfortable.

[Let me be honest. Who is protecting the Kingdom Alliance right now? Do you think the empire can’t hurt us because we are strong? No. It’s Roman Dmitry. Because he is here, we can be brave and speak up like this. What does that mean? It means if Roman Dmitry dies, we are all in danger too.]

In this meeting were the leaders of each country.

But Count Fabius was like a bull, rushing forward to help the person he served.

[If you want to talk about what’s right and wrong, go back to the old Kingdom Alliance. Back to when we were weak and the empire could do anything to us. But if you understand what’s important now, think about what helps us most. Helping Roman Dmitry is most important. We can find out the truth later. Do you understand?]

It was a strong criticism.

Umberto and Franck closed their mouths.

They thought they were making sense, but they realized they were only saying that because they felt safe.

When they were in danger, they were desperate.

If they were in that situation, they would have asked for help no matter what.

“It seems we were wrong. So, what should we do now?”

[……I understand. Let’s deal with this problem first, and then find out the truth later.]

Everyone agreed.

The Valhalla Empire was gathering its soldiers.

They had to be ready for the worst: a big war.

It was then that someone shouted,

[King Umberto! Something awful has happened!]
