The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live A Normal Life [EN]: Chapter 63

Lucas knew his life had changed a lot in the last few weeks.

“What on earth am I experiencing?”

The war was over.

Chris gathered the soldiers.

At first, soldiers like Lucas doubted Chris’s training. But when they saw him beat the 3-Star Swordsman Janson, they trusted him completely.

Roman and Chris were both amazing. The soldiers were sure that learning from them would be great.

However.

That day, Chris said something unbelievable.

“From now on, I will teach you how to use mana and swordsmanship. This is a gift from our lord, so train hard.”

Really?

It sounded crazy.

What was mana cultivation?

Mana cultivation was special. It was a real way to use mana, not like the fake methods people sold. Real mana cultivation was very valuable.

Even simple mana techniques cost a lot of gold. Most people never got to learn them.

To say he would teach such a valuable thing was hard to believe.

Lucas thought about this in a normal way.

“He’s going to teach us something useless that he found. Mana cultivation is so valuable that fathers don’t even teach it to their sons. If everyone knows it, it won’t be worth as much. So, there’s no way he’s teaching us something good. We haven’t been loyal to Roman Dimitri long enough for him to give us something so precious.”

Once.

Lucas had been obsessed with mana cultivation.

He couldn’t become an A-rank mercenary because he didn’t have any special skills. So, he spent all his money trying to learn how to use aura.

But he lost everything.

Even though he knew the mana techniques for sale were fake, he still tried them. He never felt any mana.

He felt hopeless.

That’s when he realized he couldn’t be a mercenary forever. He started to doubt everything.

From what he knew,

Roman Dimitri would teach them something that looked good but was useless. He would think he was helping them.

But he was wrong.

“This is called the Asura Cultivation Method.”

Asura.

The ghost of the battlefield.

Lucas was amazed as he practiced the method Chris taught him.

“This is insane.”

This was a treasure.

As soon as Lucas started the exercises, a warmth spread through him, like fire waking up in his veins. His skin tingled, and suddenly, he noticed everything. He could hear the faint drip of water in the mine, smell the earthy scent of the rocks, and feel the slightest breeze on his face.

This was nothing like the useless tricks he’d tried before. This was real.

Lucas had given up on becoming an aura swordsman because he kept failing. But the Asura Cultivation Method gave him hope.

And there was more.

Asura Swordsmanship.

The Asura Swordsmanship was amazing. It had 108 ways to fight, and it used the Asura Cultivation Method perfectly.

Lucas kept saying how great it was.

Roman Dimitri was even more amazing than he thought.

“Who is Roman Dimitri really? He used to be called the dimwit of Dimitri. But he beat the 4-Star Swordsman Homeros. Now he’s teaching us an amazing cultivation method and swordsmanship just because we’re soldiers. Did he get lucky somehow? No, even then, his actions don’t make sense. If I had the Asura Cultivation Method and Asura Swordsmanship, I wouldn’t tell anyone, not even my family, let alone the soldiers.”

He was speechless.

It was an unexpected gift.

Roman’s soldiers, including Lucas, were very excited.

They knew how valuable the mana cultivation method was. They stayed up all night to train.

It changed their lives.

If they could become aura swordsmen, they would have a new life they never imagined.

He was happy the last few days.

It was a big change in his life. Lucas enjoyed training every day and was happy with his progress.

So.

He didn’t hesitate when he heard Roman’s idea.

“Lord, please, don’t send me away. I want to stay with you.”

He couldn’t leave.

* * *

Roman was planning the information guild and looking for the right person.

Chris was very important.

Roman needed Chris for more important things than the information guild, so he didn’t consider Chris for that job.

What about Kevin?

Kevin had experience and was very tough. He would be good at creating the kind of information guild Roman wanted.

But Roman changed his mind.

Kevin was becoming a great fighter while learning the Ghoul Demonic Art. The head of the information guild needed to be able to handle different situations.

Kevin was still young and didn’t have enough experience. Roman decided he wasn’t the right person.

After thinking about it, Roman chose Lucas.

“Lucas is a veteran who has been through a lot as a mercenary. He’s good at handling problems, like he showed in the soldier test. He also knows a lot of people because he’s been a mercenary for years. Most importantly, Lucas makes good decisions. The information guild needs someone like Lucas who focuses on getting results.”

He was the right person.

So, he made a suggestion.

He asked Lucas to organize the information Morkan had found and to gather information from the continent.

But Lucas said no.

“Lord, please, don’t send me away. I want to stay with you. I was really impressed when I saw you fighting in the war with Barco. I want to stay with you, so please don’t send me somewhere else.”

He sounded desperate.

Lucas refused earnestly.

Roman laughed to himself.

He knew what Lucas really wanted.

It wasn’t about loyalty.

Lucas was focused on training and didn’t want to waste time on other things.

He wanted to become an aura swordsman.

He knew he had to stay with Roman to do it.

Roman said.

“I’ll ask you one thing. Why do you think I taught you the Asura Cultivation Method and Asura Swordsmanship?”

“I don’t know.”

He still didn’t know.

He didn’t know why Roman had shared something so valuable. But he wasn’t going to ask since he was benefiting from it.

“I gave you a gift because you were loyal. I don’t give gifts to everyone. Lucas, what do you think of me? Do you think I would give something so valuable just to reward my soldiers’ loyalty?”

“That means…”

Lucas understood.

The Asura Cultivation Method and Asura Swordsmanship weren’t everything to Roman.

“I don’t want you to be loyal to me for no reason. The Asura Cultivation Method and Asura Swordsmanship are valuable enough to give to you, who risked your lives for me on the battlefield. I gave you the price of your loyalty. So, what do you think I would give to someone who is worth more than a soldier?”

He gave the Flash to Chris.

He gave the Ghoul Demonic Art to Kevin.

He gave the Asura Cultivation Method and Asura Swordsmanship to the soldiers.

Roman shared his knowledge.

He wasn’t worried about what would happen.

People who had seen a part of the ocean.

They were either in awe of Roman’s abilities or wanted rewards like Lucas. They couldn’t leave him for different reasons.

They were trapped.

He was too scary to become an enemy. He could give them more than they wanted.

That person was the Heavenly Demon Baek Jung-hyuk, Roman Dimitri.

Lucas thought his life had been changed by a piece of knowledge. Roman’s statement shocked him.

Lucas knew what to do.

“I will follow your orders, my lord, and create the best information guild on the continent.”

He had made his decision.

If Roman gave them something even greater.

Lucas was ready to do anything.

It was a good deal.

The situation was settled.

Now it was a matter of time.

Roman planned to show that being safe at work would make people work better. Then, with the money he saved, he could build a big information network.

Hao Mun had built the best information network in the Murim world by listening to thousands of people.

It would be weak at first, but Roman believed his method would work.

The next day.

Roman went to the iron mine.

He didn’t stop visiting after getting the results.

He wanted to see how things changed in the future. He planned to work there for at least another week.

But when Roman arrived, the workers were very happy.

“It’s Young Master Roman!”

“Young Master!”

“Thank you, Young Master!”

Many people came out to greet Roman.

They had heard the news.

Roman Dimitri had saved the workers and decided to fix the safety problems in the future by meeting with Baron Romero.

In just one day, the news spread quickly.

People who had been against Roman now looked up to him like a hero.

The father of the man who had the accident was there.

“Young Master, thank you. Thank you for saving my son. I don’t know how to thank you enough. Anything, anything you need, I’ll do it.”

He was an ordinary man.

His face was rough and brown from the sun, lines around his eyes like cracks in dry earth, but his eyes were bright with gratitude.

He was just one of the many people living in Dimitri.

He had never met Roman before. He thanked Roman from the bottom of his heart.

Roman looked at the man and smiled silently.

The Heavenly Demon.

The evil spirit that stained the Murim world with blood.

But he was also a human.

He had to rule to survive. He conquered the Murim world by accepting his fate as the son of the Heavenly Demon.

The people who followed him supported Baek Jung-hyuk’s soul.

He wasn’t just thinking about what he could gain.

When he saw pure kindness, Baek Jung-hyuk knew he had made the right choice.

“Thank you.”

For some reason, he wanted to say that.

From that day on.

The people of Dimitri supported Roman.

Baron Romero thought about this a lot.
