The Heavenly Demon Can't Live A Normal Life [EN]: Chapter 453

Kevin spoke. His words made the soldiers feel brave and strong.

A soldier who had lost one arm cut off a demon’s head and shouted.

“Let us all die here! Emperor Roman Dmitry will surely defeat the Demon King. We must not hinder his progress!”

They were fighting to take back the Demonic Realm. People were risking their lives.

They hoped their sacrifices would bring peace to the world. But now they saw that Roman Dmitry was facing the biggest danger alone.

He had gone into the darkness by himself.

The longer they stayed in the Demonic Realm, the more they understood the huge risk Roman Dmitry had taken when he left them.

They felt many things at once. They admired Roman Dmitry and felt guilty they couldn’t help him.

They wanted to help him in any way possible, but they worried they were just slowing him down.

If Roman Dmitry had to come back to save them, if he failed to fight the Demon King because of them, they would feel terrible sadness.

They could not let that happen.

Like Kevin said, they would rather die than become a problem for Roman Dmitry.

“For Dmitry!”

The sound of bodies falling and bones breaking filled the air as they charged forward.

Blood flew everywhere in the demon-filled space. The soldier’s face looked wild as he kept swinging his sword, even as demons bit him.

It was happening everywhere, like a sickness spreading fast. Soldiers left their safe positions.

They didn’t want to be a burden, so they stopped fighting together and rushed forward to die.

This was dangerous.

If they stopped fighting as a group, they could not make the war last longer.

But Chris didn’t stop them. He understood what Kevin said and how everyone felt.

Even Chris, who was supposed to lead from the center, left his position and let out his powerful energy.

Rumble.

“Everyone, risk your lives! Even if we all die, the Emperor will win!”

Chris changed his mind. He thought, ‘Maybe we can’t win this fight.’

‘But even if we lose, we can still help Roman Dmitry win in the end.’

Even if all the soldiers here were killed, he hoped they could still help Roman Dmitry defeat the Demon King.

He thought, ‘This is important. If we just stay alive and do nothing, we are just making Roman Dmitry deal with even the weakest demons later.’

He didn’t want to be a burden. So, Chris stopped leading the army and charged at the demons with his sword.

Flash.

The sound of his sword cutting through demons filled the air. Blood flew everywhere.

Chris only thought about fighting the demons in front of him. He quickly defeated every demon he faced.

Chris. Roman Dmitry’s second strongest fighter.

He seemed to grow bigger and more dangerous. He bravely rushed into the demon-filled space.

In a moment, he cut down many demons.

Dmitry’s swordsmen followed Chris. Even though they were no longer in formation, they still fought together.

They were trained to fight even when it was chaotic. They followed Chris and Kevin as they fought, trying to defeat as many enemies as possible.

It was complete chaos. Everywhere Isabel looked, she saw blood and death.

She felt something very strong inside her, something she couldn’t easily explain.

‘This is the end,’ she thought. She was sure of it.

The end. This was the final battle.

After this fight, a new future would begin.

Isabel used her power. Because of the people’s strong will, she also risked her life.

“Sacrifice.”

Flash.

Whaaaa!

Bright light burst out. She let God’s power fill her body.

The power of ‘Sacrifice’ took away her life energy. Like the other soldiers, Isabel did not want to be a burden to Roman Dmitry.

Far away, Roman Dmitry heard the chaos. He heard people dying and heavy fighting.

“‘You are wrong about something,'” Roman Dmitry said calmly. He didn’t seem worried.

The Demon King was right. He had attacked the soldiers behind them to make himself stronger.

And like he said, those soldiers would not last long. But Roman Dmitry didn’t care about that right now. Facing the Demon King, Roman Dmitry knew what was most important.

“‘Just because my soldiers are being attacked doesn’t mean I need to hurry or be worried. They will do what they need to do, like they always have.”

Over the years, Roman Dmitry had faced many dangers. He knew he was strong enough to beat anyone in a fight.

But he also knew he didn’t build the Dmitry Empire by himself.

He had thought about this even when he remembered his past life. He knew that even the strongest person has limits.

To rule a large kingdom, he needed people to help him.

Like the Mad Demon who died because he was alone without Baek Jung-hyuk, Dmitry would have failed a long time ago without his people.

He thought of Barco and Benedict, who fought on the Southern Front. He thought of Valhalla, Chronos, and Alexandr.

The fighting had started in a small area, but it spread across the whole land. All the people who followed Roman Dmitry had done important things.

They were strong. He fought at the front to protect his soldiers as much as he could.

But he knew they were not weak children who needed to be looked after.

But he knew his soldiers were doing their best. He would fight the strongest enemies, like the powerful leaders from another world.

He trusted his soldiers to handle everything else.

The Demon King was wrong about something important. Even though the soldiers behind him were being attacked, Roman Dmitry was not worried at all.

Sreung.

He raised his sword. Power seemed to flow around Roman Dmitry as he slowly walked towards the Demon King.

“‘Now it’s my turn to fight. I will cut off your head right here. I will show everyone what happens when they try to attack my land!'”

One step. Two steps, three steps.

Finally, they were close enough to fight. The Demon King and Roman Dmitry showed each other how much they wanted to destroy each other.

Everything happened very fast. Faster than blinking your eyes.

Roman Dmitry moved so quickly it seemed like he teleported. He attacked, but the Demon King also used his magic and waved his hand.

Wham!

Rumble!

There was a huge explosion. Even though only his hand and sword touched, it felt like a magic bomb went off, pushing them apart with great force.

Then, the Demon King attacked right away. Roman Dmitry used his special fast movement technique, but the Demon King’s hand suddenly burst with strong magic.

It was like the first attack didn’t even slow him down.

Wham!

Puff puff puff puff!

Dark magic rushed out and filled the area. The magic pushed everything away, even Roman Dmitry.

It was so strong that it destroyed the ground around them.

But the Demon King’s eyes were still sharp and focused. Even in the dark magic all around him, he saw something fast moving towards him.

‘The Heavenly Demon Sword Art! First move!’

Pat.

Tap tap tap tap! Roman Dmitry kept using his fast movement technique.

Suddenly, the attack became much stronger. It exploded with power, and a bright light cut through the darkness.

A flash.

It was a wondrous sight.

The three legion commanders had all knelt before the Demon King’s attack, but Roman Dmitry reacted as if it were nothing.

The Demon King smiled brightly, as if truly delighted.

The battle had barely begun, but it was clear that Roman Dmitry was not to be underestimated.

“Yes, this is it! Roman Dmitry, show me everything you’ve got! Demolition!”

Crack.

Rumble!

He did not evade.

The Heavenly Demon Sword Art.

The Demon King met it head-on.

Hundreds of strands of magic power erupted from him like a heat haze, then formed into a single, massive whip that lashed out at Roman Dmitry.

It was a direct confrontation.

Surprisingly, Roman Dmitry’s sword skill, powered by his special steps, seemed weaker against the Demon King’s attack called ‘Demolition’.

Bzzzzzt!

A wave of power surged.

Roman Dmitry swiftly retrieved his sword, deflecting the Demolition that shattered through his aura.

Wham!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

He was pushed back.

It was an unfamiliar impact.

He had faced countless foes, but Roman Dmitry could say he had never experienced such destructive power.

“So, you are different, are you?”

The Demon King.

He was an existence from beyond the heavens.

Now Roman Dmitry understood why the three legion commanders, each capable of destroying the world, had sworn allegiance to the Demon King.

He was on a different level from the three legion commanders.

Even if all three of them attacked together, or even if all the beings of the Demon World attacked, they would not be able to defeat the Demon King alone.

His presence swelled.

Despite his seemingly frail appearance, the Demon King was undoubtedly a powerhouse of a kind Roman Dmitry had never encountered, even in his previous life.

“I have always longed for a strong opponent to threaten me.”

Grip.

He tightened his grip on his sword.

It was the same feeling as the Demon King.

Roman Dmitry and the Demon King rejoiced in each other’s existence.

The Murim.

The Demon World.

They were the absolute rulers of their respective worlds.

Each possessed power so immense that it could shatter the very foundations of their worlds, and thus, they were forced to live a life of solitude.

They had thought of struggle as their entire lives, but there was no one who could withstand their power. Yet, transcending dimensions, they found themselves facing each other.

It was exhilarating.

The fact that the opponent was strong.

The peace of the world, the collapse of the Demon World, and many other problems were intertwined, but now, they focused solely on each other.

They savored it to the fullest.

This moment, this feeling.

Roman Dmitry pushed the power of the Heavenly Demon Godly Steps to its extreme.

“Demon King, I acknowledge your strength.”

Thud.

Rumble!

He kicked off the ground.

Fifth step, sixth step, seventh step.

The magic power of the Heavenly Demon Godly Steps surged explosively.

He intended to use a strike he had never used in his previous life, nor in this one, against the Demon King.

Bang! Bang!

Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham!

It was like space itself was breaking. Wherever Roman Dmitry moved, the air around him twisted and shimmered, as if reality itself was bending to his power.

It was an overwhelming sight.

The Demon King, too, seeing Roman Dmitry charging, stirred his magic power and prepared to meet him head-on.

A precarious situation.

Roman Dmitry took his ninth step and extended his sword.

‘Heavenly Demon Sword Art, the final three forms.’

A single strike.

Flash.

The moment the sword cleaved through space, the world turned white.

Wham!

Wham! Wham! Wham!

Rumble!

Boom.

Rumble!

It was an incredible strike.

The surrounding area was devastated. What had been a flat plain was now scarred with holes as if thousands of magical bombs had exploded, and a thick cloud of purple-tinged dust obscured the view.

It was a strike that pushed the Heavenly Demon Godly Steps and the Heavenly Demon Sword Art to their extreme.

This power was something he had gained after a lot of training, but in his two lives, he had never used this power with the intention of defeating someone.

It was only natural.

Even monsters like Belzelt had knelt before the second form of the final sequence.

After surpassing a certain level, Roman Dmitry had no reason to exert his full power, no matter what enemy he faced.

And now.

He had unleashed his full power.

That powerful strike, not even a god could have survived unharmed.

However.

Rumble!

“…To think that this is the power of a human. You have reached the realm of the gods.”

Beyond the dust cloud.

The shadow of a living being flickered.

The Demon King, who had been in human form when they first met, had now transformed into a massive monster.

Horns sprouted from his head, and his eyes glowed crimson. It was the Demon King’s true form.

Perhaps the previous strike had dealt a significant blow, as his body was covered in torn wounds, and red blood dripped from various places.

He smiled.

A mouth large enough to swallow hundreds of humans at once revealed ferocious teeth like gears.

“In all my years, I have never encountered an enemy who forced me to reveal my true form. Even during the great chaos in the Demon World, the three legion commanders, who shook the Demon World, knelt before my human form. Roman Dmitry, you have reached the same realm as I. If I had encountered you in the world instead of the Demon World, even I could not have guaranteed victory. But…”

Rumble!

Magic power surged.

His body grew even larger, and magic power rippled around him.

“This is my world. If that is your full power, then humans will not be able to escape the extinction of their race.”

The previous strike.

It must have been his full power.

Knowing this, the Demon King, who had survived even after facing his full power, was confident in his victory.

However.

Roman Dmitry smiled.

His full power had been blocked.

It was clearly a failure, yet he could not help but laugh at how enjoyable this situation was.

“Yes, the previous strike was the full power I can use.”
