The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live A Normal Life [EN]: Chapter 597

Right then.

Kargases’ face became ugly, like a monster’s.

Roman Dmitry had hit him only once, and then said he had ‘overestimated’ Kargases. Kargases could not believe it.

Anger exploded inside him.

He thought of himself as a god. How could a simple human judge him? He could not accept it.

“You are not just arrogant, you are stupid! I was going to have some fun with you. But now, because of what you said, I will destroy you completely. As your body breaks apart in pain, you will remember all the pain humans have to suffer because of you!”

CRACK!

RUMBLE!

Kargases’ magic boiled and roared.

He opened his arms wide, letting out all his power. Suddenly, cracks appeared in the air all around.

“See if you can survive this!”

WHAM!

WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!

The cracks exploded at the same time!

It was like the world was breaking apart, piece by piece. The edges of reality shattered, and huge waves of magic rushed out.

WHOOSH.

RUMBLE!

From one crack, red lava poured out like a giant wave.

This was the hottest lava Kargases had ever felt. He had made a doorway to a place of lava to bring it here.

The heat was so strong, it felt like your eyes would burn just from looking at it.

Anything the lava touched turned to liquid instantly. This wave of red-hot lava was too much for any human to survive.

But there was more.

WHAM!

WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!

From another side, a wave of water from the deepest ocean crashed in.

Water squeezed by huge pressure in the deep sea exploded outwards, washing everything away.

Hundreds of cracks opened up.

Different kinds of power rushed out from each one.

Kargases, the Absolute, could control dimensions. He used this power to make it look like the end of the world was happening right here, around Roman Dmitry.

People watching were terrified by Kargases’ power. Even though they had trained so hard in terrible times, they felt like they couldn’t fight anymore.

It seemed impossible to win.

How could anyone stop this?

Everyone stared, frozen in fear. But then, Roman Dmitry calmly walked forward into the rushing magic.

FLASH.

WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!

He sliced through the forces of nature.

Lava and waves crashed towards him, things that should be impossible to stop. But with each swing of Roman Dmitry’s sword, they were pushed aside.

Kargases stared in shock. Roman Dmitry had reached a god-like level.

He wasn’t just part of nature, he controlled it. The powers of the Absolutes, who used nature’s power, were nothing to him now.

Kargases almost laughed. It was ridiculous.

This was the Demonic Divine Art.

Roman Dmitry had trained this power for three lifetimes. It had taken him to a place beyond anything Kargases could understand.

SWISH.

Tap tap tap tap!

He moved closer, step by step.

Lava and waves rose up around him, but Roman Dmitry was too fast. He cut down every attack that came near him.

Kargases felt like he couldn’t breathe.

He didn’t understand it was fear. He just tried to use even more power to stop Roman Dmitry.

“Die!” he screamed.

WHAM!

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

He made the very air explode!

He wanted to blast Roman Dmitry into another dimension. But the explosion’s force didn’t even slow Roman Dmitry down.

When Roman Dmitry traveled from the Salamander Continent to this world, he had walked through the spaces between dimensions.

His body had become strong by surviving in places where no human could live. So, this explosion, which no Absolute would ever think of resisting, was nothing to him.

HISS.

Smoke curled up from Roman Dmitry’s skin.

He had gone beyond what a human could be. Kargases, in all his time as an Absolute, had never imagined anyone like this.

A natural enemy.

It was clear now.

It wasn’t just about power. Roman Dmitry and the very nature of the Absolutes’ power were enemies from the beginning.

A human who could control storms and lava, who wasn’t hurt by explosions between worlds. He was more than human.

This was why the Absolutes believed they were gods.

‘No! This can’t be happening! It’s impossible!’

Kargases stared wildly.

Roman Dmitry was right there, close to him.

He felt Roman Dmitry’s deadly anger aimed at him. Kargases screamed and used every last bit of his power, trying to erase Roman Dmitry from existence.

But then, suddenly—

FLASH.

THWACK!

Pain exploded through Kargases.

He finally understood what was happening. Roman Dmitry’s sword was already deep in his chest.

* * *

Shush shush shush…

WHAM!

Kargases crashed to the ground.

He grabbed his chest, screaming and crying like a baby.

“Aargh! Aargh!”

His mind felt like it was breaking apart.

Pain. Real pain.

He had never felt it before.

He saw his skin ripped open by cold steel, blood pouring out. Kargases couldn’t believe this was happening.

He was an Absolute! A god! Gods should be all-powerful, able to do anything. But here he was, weak and screaming in pain, just like the creatures he had killed so easily.

A terrible thought grew in his mind.

Maybe… maybe he wasn’t a god after all.

His whole world started to fall apart in his head.

Kargases was still screaming when he heard footsteps coming closer. He looked up, startled.

“Why?” Roman Dmitry asked, his voice calm but with an edge of surprise. “Is that all you can do?”

Roman Dmitry had expected more.

He knew the Absolutes had incredible power and had lived for ages. He had trained for this fight, picturing someone even stronger than the Demon King.

Every day, he had pushed himself harder than anyone else. He had promised his people he would protect them, and he had driven himself to the limit to keep that promise.

But…

This was it?

Kargases’ natural power was huge, but his actual strength, his ability to destroy, was not even as great as the Demon King’s.

‘Did I make a mistake? Did I think they were stronger than they are?’ Roman Dmitry thought, almost laughing.

He thought about the Demon King and the Absolutes.

They were from different eras.

The Demon King was born with immense destructive power. He was the strongest being in Demon history.

He had become bored with his life and decided to attack the human world only after he learned that ancient records said ‘unknown beings’ had almost destroyed the Demon Realm long ago.

So, it was wrong to compare the Absolutes to the Demon King directly.

The Demon King had tried to become stronger, learning from the past. But the Absolutes? They just kept destroying dimensions, then and now, happy with their power.

They thought they were gods.

And everyone else treated them like gods.

Because no one dared to challenge them, the Absolutes never had to truly push themselves or show their full potential.

Of course, even like this, they were still incredibly dangerous.

Even the Demon King, in his own realm, might not have been able to defeat all the Absolutes together, let alone fight them one-on-one.

The problem was that his opponent was Roman Dmitry. People said he killed a Demon King when he was just a human. They even said he went to a god-like place to get ready for even stronger enemies.

Roman Dmitry.

They thought the idea of an ‘Absolute’ being so powerful was laughable compared to Roman Dmitry.

He didn’t need to use all his strength. The difference between them was huge. His 49 days of training felt like a waste of time.

Roman Dmitry spoke.

“You are truly pathetic beings,” Roman Dmitry said. “You don’t even understand who you are dealing with. You are offering your lives to me. You are no longer worth dealing with.”

Clang.

Rumble!

He came to a conclusion.

A single strike.

He planned to kill Kargas with one strike.

There was no longer any need to assess the opponent, and he judged that killing even one of them was good.

Rumble!

It was immense magical power.

When Kargas saw Roman Dmitry getting ready to use the Heavenly Demon Sword Art, he realized what fear was. His body trembled.

He remembered the creatures they hurt, creatures they played with like toys. He saw them struggling and screaming. These images filled his mind and made his body tense.

This was fear.

This was the desire to live.

Kargas had been confident he could handle Roman Dmitry alone, but now he didn’t care about looking good.

“[My brethren! Aid me!]”

He sent a message beyond their world.

And as he tried to block the attack, he heard Roman Dmitry shout,

“‘Heavenly Demon Sword Art, Second Form of the Final Stage.”

Flash.

Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham!

It destroyed Kargas completely.

Absolute.

A being called a god.

Everyone believed they existed, but what they saw was shocking.

Fwoosh.

Kargas was gone. His body was dust, proving he had been destroyed.

It was then.

Flash.

Rumble!

Bright light appeared from everywhere.

The brothers Kargas had called for help showed themselves in pillars of light that reached the ground.

“How dare you hurt Kargas!”

“Human. You will never die peacefully.”

“We know you are strong. But you forget that we are not alone.”

There were seven of them.

They were friends of Kargas.

They had been waiting to see Kargas play with Roman Dmitry, but they were angry that he had been destroyed instead.

They knew Roman Dmitry was very strong. But they didn’t think he could fight seven of them at once.

The Absolutes’ powers became stronger when they worked together, so they showed themselves and expressed their anger.

Swish.

Roman Dmitry lowered his sword.

He showed he was ready to fight the Absolutes and counted them.

“Considering the guy who just died, the seven here, and Volfir, there are at least nine of you,” he said. “You are strange beings. I can’t believe there are nine beings born with such power. If there are more, call them all. I will face all of you alone.”

It was an arrogant statement.

It was also on purpose.

While fighting Kargas, he realized the Absolutes were not his match, but humanity couldn’t handle them.

What if these beings attacked in secret? It would cause a lot of damage. Their ability to control dimensions could be used in many ways.

Roman Dmitry’s statement made the Absolutes angry.

Krakel, who had been closest to Kargas, became fierce and started to gather power.

Rumble!

“Yes, I will kill you……”

It was then.

“[Stop, Krakel.]”

Volpir’s voice was heard from beyond their world.

Volpir and Kargas.

They were the most important Absolutes.

Volpir was careful, not like most Absolutes. But Kargas was aggressive and wild.

Until now, Kargas had led the Absolutes.

Kargas was naturally strong, so he didn’t need to plan carefully. Over many years, other Absolutes started to think like him.

They thought humans were unimportant. They didn’t need to worry about beings who couldn’t even get close to God.

Now it was different.

Kargas was dead.

Now that he was destroyed, Volpir’s voice couldn’t be ignored.

“[As I warned, Roman Dmitry is not someone to ignore,]” Volpir said. “[He didn’t use all his power against Kargas, and I’m not sure we can win a war against him. I didn’t know Roman Dmitry was this strong, but now that I know the truth, we need to change our plan.]”

“‘Then what do you suggest?'” Krakel asked.

“[Krakel. We have destroyed many worlds, and we didn’t need to show ourselves,]” Volpir said. “[The beings in a world made for life can’t stop it from being destroyed just because the world collapses. This time is no different. How about we change the game? Let’s destroy this world, except for Roman Dmitry.]”

Krakel smiled.

The other Absolutes did too.

If Roman Dmitry was strong enough to destroy Kargas, they didn’t need to risk fighting him.

The more they thought about it, the better the plan seemed.

They thought Roman Dmitry cared a lot about his people. Volpir’s plan to hurt his world seemed more fun than a big war.

They talked in their minds.

This happened very quickly. When it was over, Krakel suddenly showed his power.

“Roman Dmitry,” Krakel said. “From now on, we are going to start a fun game.”

Clang.

Rumble!

The world began to break apart.

Dozens of passages turned into hundreds and thousands in the capital of the Korean Empire.

And monsters appeared. There were monsters that soldiers could handle, and hundreds of S-rank monsters.

It was a terrifying sight.

People trembled, and Krakel smiled, sure that his plan was good.

“Try to survive,” Krakel said. “This game won’t end until you kill all of us.”

Flash.

Poof poof poof.

The Absolutes vanished.

The place where they disappeared was filled with murderous eyes.

There were too many to handle without Roman Dmitry.

And.

“-T-This is terrible. An Absolute has appeared in America!”

“-An Absolute has appeared in China!”

“-In Australia…….”

Messages came from everywhere.

The final disaster was just beginning.
