The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live A Normal Life [EN]: Chapter 454

Rebirth.

Baek Jung-hyuk had reached a higher level of power, a stage he called ‘Cheon’. To test his strength, he went to the training hall. He needed to know how much stronger he had become.

“So,” Baek Jung-hyuk asked, looking at his opponent, “you want me to fight with all my power?”

“Yes, please,” the other man replied.

His opponent was the Blood Demon, a famous fighter from the evil group known for his dark skills.

The Blood Demon was a master fighter from the evil group. Everyone knew he had done great things in conquering the martial world. He looked at Baek Jung-hyuk strangely, trying to understand his mood.

He had always wanted to be stronger than Baek Jung-hyuk, but it was rare for Baek Jung-hyuk to ask for a fight first, like he was doing now.

He had heard the reason.

Baek Jung-hyuk had reached a new level and needed someone to fight to test his strength.

There was no reason to say no.

The Blood Demon pulled out his sword, showing a fierce aura towards Baek Jung-hyuk.

Shwing.

“I don’t know how to hold back,” he said. “Please don’t think I’m trying to rebel if you get hurt.”

He himself had also improved recently.

He needed a chance to test his skills against Baek Jung-hyuk, and he felt lucky that Baek Jung-hyuk had asked first.

Of course, he wasn’t sure he could win, like he said.

If Baek Jung-hyuk, who had been so strong during the conquest of the martial world, had reached a new level, he wouldn’t be able to win no matter how hard he tried.

Still.

He wanted to try.

In the heavy tension, the Blood Demon attacked first.

And he saw it.

A destructive force that swept away everything in one blow, turning the world white.

And then,

Plop.

“Cough.”

He spat out blood.

The Blood Demon was a mess. He looked at Baek Jung-hyuk, who was looking down at him in disbelief. He had thought he was getting closer.

But the moment he felt that blow, the Blood Demon had to admit the truth he didn’t want to accept.

“…I have to give up now,” he said. “No one can ever be stronger than you.”

That was the day it began.

No one challenged Baek Jung-hyuk anymore.

Of course, there were always foolish people who didn’t understand their limits, but they all had their heads cut off before they even got past Baek Jung-hyuk’s guards.

Instead, the true masters never even mentioned a challenge.

Knowing how high a level Baek Jung-hyuk had reached, and after feeling his overwhelming power, even more than during the conquest of the martial world, they saw him as someone beyond human.

It was a lonely life.

He still wanted to be strong, but the fact that there was no one to compete with made Baek Jung-hyuk feel lonely.

It was boring.

Dull.

He no longer fought with all his power against anyone, and a real fight was never allowed.

Even though he practiced his sword every day, he felt empty because he had no goal.

So he always dreamed.

That one day, someone who could block his attack would appear.

So that he could fight with all his power.

So that he could show his true strength.

The atmosphere changed.

The word ‘fun’.

The moment Roman Dmitry said it, the Demon King felt insulted by a mere human.

But that was it.

Before he could even react.

Roman Dmitry was already charging towards him.

[Demon King, give it your all.]

It was telepathy.

At the same time as the voice entered his mind, Roman Dmitry attacked his legs.

“Where do you think you’re going!”

Clang.

Rumble!

He unleashed his magic power.

Mana exploded from his massive body like a volcano erupting, pressing down on Roman Dmitry.

But just before the attack hit, Roman Dmitry twisted his body as if he knew it was coming.

It was a movement that barely avoided the attack, and the moment the Demon King saw it, a burning pain shot through his forearm.

Flash!

Blood splattered.

The Demon King’s face twisted in pain.

More than the pain, it was important that Roman Dmitry had disappeared.

Swish.

Rumble!

He attacked where he couldn’t see.

Knowing that his arm would naturally react to being cut, Roman Dmitry disappeared from the Demon King’s sight.

By the time he realized where he was, Roman Dmitry had already cut off his leg.

In a quick attack, the Demon King spread his large wings and shot hundreds of dark magic blasts filled with dark magic power.

“Die!”

Bang!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dark magic blasts rained down from the sky like a storm of black fire.

If he tried to dodge, he would just destroy everything around him.

At that moment.

Flash!

Rumble!

A huge aura split the air.

The Demon King had to quickly dodge the attack aimed at him, and he saw the Demon King falling to the ground as his wings were torn apart.

It was an unbelievable attack.

Roman Dmitry had been using as little magic power as possible, but now he completely exploded his magic power like Alexandre.

It was a new way to use it.

Instead of ignoring what he had learned, he used it in the best way for the situation.

Tap tap tap.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

As soon as they landed, they attacked each other.

The Demon King blocked all of Roman Dmitry’s attacks, and the exploding dark magic power swept through the area.

But no attack worked. Roman Dmitry reacted quickly, as if he knew what the Demon King would do.

When fighting Babel, Phibir, and Belzerta, he seemed to compete with strength, but now he didn’t allow any changes.

Only then did he realize.

The way Roman Dmitry fought.

It was never with full power.

He just competed with strength because he didn’t need any special plans, and people had to respect Roman Dmitry for that.

Roman Dmitry saw the Demon King as an enemy.

Completely ignoring any carelessness, he kept pushing forward with the single goal of defeating the Demon King without stopping.

Clang.

Rumble!

Auras flashed from all directions.

No matter how the Demon King attacked, Roman Dmitry fought back, and this was something he had never experienced before.

“Roman Dmitry!”

Rumble!

The Demon King’s power grew.

The magic power coming from him billowed out like a black sun, sweeping away Roman Dmitry.

It was a huge power.

This time, there was no way to avoid it, creating a situation where anything in that space would have to face the attack.

Rumble!

Within the dark magic power.

Roman Dmitry was there.

Defensive stance.

Iron Skin.

This time, instead of dodging, he went through the dark magic power, and Roman Dmitry used his powerful sword skills and moved quickly.

Flash!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

It was a tremendous blow.

In a blow that changed stances with the situation, the Demon King faced the power that tore apart the magic power and charged in.

This time it was really dangerous. Thinking that he might lose if things continued like this, he quickly gathered the magic power he had used for the attack.

Bang!

CRASH!

They smashed into each other.

The force of the hit was like a thunderbolt. It felt like it could destroy the Devil King completely. For a split second, he couldn’t see his enemy.

Roman Dmitry was ready. He saw his chance.

“……?!”

Roman Dmitry didn’t miss his chance.

He moved forward quickly and cut through the Devil King’s chest.

Fwoosh.

Blood splattered.

It was impossible to defend against.

His chest broke apart easily, and the Devil King looked into Roman Dmitry’s cold eyes, his own eyes shaking.

‘Am I being pushed back right now?’

Inferiority.

The Devil King couldn’t accept that.

He had never felt like this before.

Pahs.

Pssssssss.

Dark magic, like black smoke, poured from his chest.

Looking down at the dark red blood falling from his chest, the Devil King felt very confused.

‘If this keeps going, I’ll be defeated.’

He couldn’t believe it.

He couldn’t accept it.

He had never imagined this could happen.

The Devil King had hoped a strong enemy would appear and make his boring life more exciting. But now that he was about to lose, he didn’t feel happy at all.

That was the difference between him and Roman Dmitry. Roman had lived from the bottom, but the Devil King had never been weak.

From the moment he was born.

The Devil King was strong.

He beat everyone easily, and when the time of great chaos came, he became the Devil King without any effort.

It felt natural.

But as soon as he felt danger, his senses became sharp. Roman Dmitry was incredibly powerful, like a god.

If he wasn’t careful, he would lose. Like the three commanders who died fighting Roman, he would die too.

‘I am the absolute ruler of the Demon Realm. I must always be the strongest.’

All of this happened in a very short time.

The Devil King saw Roman Dmitry charging at him and knew he was in trouble.

“I see you now, human,” he said. “And by defeating you, I will become the true absolute ruler.”

Kwarung.

Rumble.

He stirred up his magic power.

His eyes turned purple.

It was the Devil King’s power.

He took the power of the Demon Realm into his body.

This was his world, and the dark magic of blood and death was everywhere.

Magic power exploded. He became huge.

“I will not be defeated.”

He wanted to compete.

He didn’t want to lose.

He wanted a strong enemy.

He didn’t want to be equal.

From now on, the Devil King would risk his life to defeat the human called Roman Dmitry.

He spread his arms wide.

He showed his full power to Roman Dmitry and exploded his magic.

“Darkness, listen to me.”

Flash.

Kwararararak.

The wind howled and spun like a furious beast.

A black wind made a swirling tunnel and spewed out dark magic, as if to eat the world.

Darkness exploded where Roman Dmitry was charging.

A huge explosion destroyed everything around them. The Devil King grinned as he watched Roman Dmitry dodge and charge forward.

Whoosh.

Rumble.

A fist the size of a boulder slammed down.

The Devil King was now so big that Roman Dmitry looked small. He attacked again and again, keeping up with Roman Dmitry’s movements.

Even in the middle of all this, Roman Dmitry didn’t try to escape.

He faced the Devil King’s attacks and slashed at his body, finding any opening he could.

Pop.

Rumble.

It was a fierce battle.

Neither of them gave way, and the power of their attacks was so strong that no one could get close.

The Devil King and Roman Dmitry.

They were more than human.

They had gone beyond the limits of living beings and showed what it meant to be incredibly powerful.

One moment of carelessness could mean death.

When the Devil King’s magic exploded, Roman Dmitry moved through space and charged in. When Roman Dmitry tried to attack, the Devil King used his huge body to stop him.

Each hit shook the world.

They were fighting very closely, almost trapped. But Roman Dmitry felt truly happy, unlike the Devil King.

‘I have been waiting for this moment.’

The enemy in front of him.

Was someone he couldn’t beat with just strength.

That’s why he didn’t use his best sword skill, and he had to think hard to find chances to attack.

He hadn’t felt like this in a long time. Not since he was at the bottom of his life.

For Roman Dmitry, who had to fight to survive, being in a life or death situation felt familiar.

Kwang!

He blocked every attack.

His mind raced.

After blocking the exploding magic, he slashed at the enemy’s arm. Then, dodging the Devil King’s attack, he slashed at his chest.

He slashed again at the chest that had already healed. The Devil King, as if offering his body on purpose, shot destructive energy from his purple eyes.

It was intense.

They were connected.

In that moment of fierce attacks and defenses, the Devil King and Roman Dmitry both saw a chance.

Whoosh.

It was a fleeting moment.

The Devil King stirred up his magic.

Roman Dmitry took special steps and used his final power to face him head-on.

“Roman Dmitry!”

Kurung.

Rumble.

The Devil King glared.

Just as he was about to beat Roman Dmitry, he saw something unexpected.

The Devil King’s magic surged like a wave. Roman Dmitry, who he thought would fight him head-on, suddenly changed direction.

He didn’t use his best sword skill.

He tricked the Devil King into thinking he would attack as before, then moved through the only space where the magic wouldn’t hit.

The Devil King quickly changed the direction of his magic.

He reacted very fast, faster than most people could even see.

In that moment.

Flash.

Thwack.

Blood splattered.

Roman Dmitry was far away, but his sword flew through the air and pierced the Devil King’s heart.

His eyes shook.

He couldn’t believe it.

It was a technique he had never seen before.

The Sword of Ki Control.

It wasn’t as strong as his best sword skill.

But it was the deadliest hit to the Devil King right now, perfectly targeting his weakness.
