The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life

Chapter 413 The Fall of Chronos (4)

It was a dreary space.

The Marquis of Memphis, who entered the vast and empty space where no one except Emperor Cronus was allowed to enter, moved to the center like a man possessed by something.

There was a well-kept parchment on the table. Actually, I’ve always been curious.

He was the only one who knew about the existence of the secret room, but there were many times when he wanted to ask what Emperor Cronus was doing here.

Instinctively, he touched the parchment.

With no one to control him, he naturally read the contents of the parchment carefully.

[A very long time ago. The door to the world has been opened. The cold energy that came from it froze the world, and the disaster left in the world lasted forever. God said that someday someone who would represent God’s will would appear and solve the world’s problems. But if you miss that time, the world will never come out of the abyss of despair.]

It was an oracle.

As the Marquis of Memphis, I couldn’t understand the contents.

Since I didn’t know about Alexander’s existence from the beginning, I didn’t know that the disaster left in the world meant Alexander.

I wondered. What does this oracle mean?

What did Emperor Cronus, or Alexander, try to achieve by repeating this over and over again?

It was then.

Parss.

The parchment has changed.

The letters disappeared and then were newly combined, revealing different contents than before.

[The disaster has become a reality. The dark door will open. It’s an unavoidable reality, and it’s nothing if you can’t see it in front of your eyes. Humans. Be vigilant. Get ready. be outraged On the day pitch-black darkness strikes the world, mankind will face an unprecedented disaster.]

“… It is the door of darkness.”

Eyes flickered.

dark door.

The moment he read those words, something came to the Marquis of Memphis’s mind.

‘devildom.’

Alexander accepted the magic of darkness.

It means to enshrine the ruler of the demon realm, and for generations, the gate of darkness has meant the passage between the earth and the demon world.

Then the meaning of the oracle was clear. Alexander wanted to descend the Demon King.

If the beings of darkness invaded this world, in fact, the confrontational composition so far had no meaning.

Humans will all die out.

Even Roman Dmitry was mere human in the face of an unmanageable disaster.

‘This is rather an opportunity for me. If I can trace Alexander’s trail and meet the rulers of the underworld, I can become a new power in the world in return for cooperating with them. If they accepted Alexander, they would surely judge that they needed help from the surface world. I can be the second Alexander.’

His eyes gleamed with longing.

anyway.

It was on the brink.

In a situation where he had no choice but to hide, he said that the oracle was an unavoidable disaster.

The stuffy stomach seemed to have calmed down a little now.

I thought it was completely over, but the Marquis of Memphis found an unexpected breakthrough.

but.

Hope didn’t last long.

jump.

“The Marquis of Memphis! Lo Roman Dmitri found the location of the secret room!”

article’s report.

Seeing the knight speaking with a pale face, the Marquis of Memphis’ heart sank.

* * *

The resistance of the knights was pointless.

The knights who rushed to try to block the entry somehow failed to exchange battles a few times and fell to the ground, splattering blood.

The floor was covered in blood.

The knights had no choice but to be pushed back by the appearance of their colleagues who did not move, and eventually became trapped in a secret room with no escape.

behind the knights.

The Marquis of Memphis trembled.

With a pale face and anxious eyes, he found a presence and his eyes shook sharply.

Bubbly.

“If I had intended to run away, I should have gone farther. Isn’t that right, Marquis of Memphis?”

Roman Dmitry.

That was him.

The blood was frozen cold.

The Marquis of Memphis could not answer anything about the situation, but his mouth was open.

finished.

Roman Dmitri was an opponent whose survival could not be guaranteed even if he met on a wide battlefield, but there was no space for him to escape in the secret room.

Anger and resentment surged. Where the heck did it go wrong?

He, who used to serve the emperor Cronus, was now driven to the edge of a precipice.

It was then.

“Ha, I will surrender.”

“We are merely beings carrying out orders. I will surrender, so please save me.”

Knights of Memphis.

they threw away their weapons

Even though Roman Dmitri hadn’t suggested surrender first, they looked at each other, then knelt down and bowed their heads in unison.

As the Marquis of Memphis, it was embarrassing.

Seeing his face flush with anger, the Marquis of Memphis shouted at the knights.

“How dare these guys! How can you who have received the grace of the Memphis family… … .”

“shut up!”

I stopped talking.

The knight turned his head around and showed a face that showed no respect for the person he served.

“We have never been sincere with you. I don’t want to die following a guy like you. So, if you want to die, die alone. To put it bluntly, we are only guilty of following orders.”

I saw Roman Dmitry again.

He hung his head and complained of regret.

“As far as I know, I heard that those who surrendered were spared. Please give us a chance to rectify our mistake. If you spare us, we will dedicate everything in the Memphis family to Roman Dmitri.”

“The wormy bastards.”

“yes… ?”

Moment.

I was puzzled.

Looking up at the unexpected reaction, I saw Roman Dmitri looking down with cold eyes.

“The beings I give a chance to are those who have nothing to do with this situation. Those forced into the battlefield are given a chance, but you guys who fled to the secret room to live alone are a different story. I do not reject renegades. However, even apostasy has its time.”

“Please have mercy on me… evil!”

Flash.

Blood spattered.

When Roman Dmitri cut down the knight in front, the knights behind hurriedly picked up their weapons and tried to resist.

But it was just a meaningless outburst.

In the meantime, Chris and Kevin sprinted forward and slashed their opponents’ necks before they could do anything.

The situation was sorted out.

Only the Marquis of Memphis remained, and the parchment was visible in the field of view of the Marquis of Memphis, who was hesitantly stepping back.

“Lo Roman Dmitry! I offer you a deal!”

I heard the dagger.

Suddenly, the parchment was torn to pieces.

After making a mess so that the contents inside could not be confirmed, he looked at Roman Dmitri and said.

“Inside the parchment were written warnings of the dangers approaching the world. if you save me I’ll tell you everything I checked. Roman Dmitry. This isn’t just a threat. Even you will not be able to handle the risks that have already materialized if you are not prepared for the reality.”

His voice trembled.

It felt like grabbing at least a straw.

Raising his dagger, he prayed again and again in his heart that Roman Dmitri would accept this offer.

But he knew too.

Roman Dmitry.

“I don’t need your help.”

that it is uncompromising.

Immediately, a cold voice pierced his ears.

“Bind the Marquis of Memphis. The Marquis of Memphis will be painfully punished in front of everyone, not here.”

* * *

Dark clouds rolled in.

As the cool wind drove away the fishy smell of blood, the people of Cronus, who had been hiding in the house, moved toward the plaza one by one.

The war is already over.

As the soldiers surrendered, the fact became known to the people, and Roman Dmitry announced that he would publicly declare an end to the war in the square.

Square of Kronos.

It was crowded.

In the space they were looking at, the top leaders of Cronus, like the Marquis of Memphis, were kneeling on the scaffold.

Only then did it become real. Kronos is defeated.

It was a strange sight to see for the first time in my life, and before long Roman Dmitri appeared through the crowd and stepped onto the scaffold.

tall.

I stopped walking.

I looked down at people.

Even though countless crowds were looking at him, Roman Dmitri showed a presence that overwhelms them.

“I would like to announce the end of the war here and now. The Kronos Empire has committed many evils in the meantime. The desires of figures such as Alexander, the emperor of Cronus, have stained the continent with darkness, and the wealth and glory you have enjoyed so far has been made with the blood and tears of the people of other countries. I will change the basis from now on. Kronos will no longer be able to live the same life as before.”

It was a proclamation.

Coercion, not persuasion.

People showed shaking eyes.

He knew that reality would change because he had lost the war, but change was not an easy matter to accept.

“The country I want to create in the future follows clear laws. You will not be rejected just because you are from Cronus, and personal feelings will not be above the law. It is a system no one can violate. Even if I break the law, I will be punished in front of everyone.”

He raised his voice.

In the flow of change that will arise in the future, Roman Dmitry spoke of a new world.

“If you want your life to be the same as before. get out of my shadow I have no intention of forcing you into the world to be created on this earth. But if you want to follow my system. Forget all the glories of the past. If you faithfully fulfill your role in your place, I will gladly accept you as my people.”

I was out of breath.

no one objected

The great tide had no choice but to comply and acknowledged that Roman Dmitry was the new leader.

he is.

He said he wouldn’t reject it.

Cronus said he would give them a chance to live as a new people, not to punish them for their evil deeds.

The words of a loser are miserable.

Beings who have lived in the existing power system may not be happy with this situation, but Roman Dmitri’s remarks gave new hope to those who are always there even if the world changes.

That’s what the people are.

They are neither good nor evil, they are just beings living a given life.

The plate was laid.

Now it was time to put an end to the situation.

shouted Roman Dmitri.

“I will proceed with the execution ceremony from now on!”

* * *

The execution was static.

Even people who cheer.

No one was sad.

While the people gathered in the square watched, those who stood on the scaffold accepted their deaths with miserable faces.

puck.

Took.

Degururu.

Another head rolled across the floor, covered in blood.

He was an active follower of the Marquis of Memphis and was put on this scaffold for his loyalty.

Executions were carried out in order.

As one was dragged forward, he sobbed to death, and as soon as his head was blown off, another was violently dragged out before the blood had dried.

puck.

Puck puck puck.

It was the sound of death.

The executioner had already killed several people, but continued his role with a calm face.

The era of Kronos was coming to an end.

It is called Valhalla and the two major mountain ranges, and it is the most powerful country on the continent in name and reality that produced Alexander, the founder of Aura.

People thought that the day would come when Cronus would conquer the continent someday, but he met a futile end that put his reputation to shame.

one two.

The number of people to be executed decreased.

Under the scaffold, he moved the corpse who had lost his head, and before he knew it, only one Marquis of Memphis remained.

I closed my eyes tightly.

He accepted death while waiting for his turn.

He regretted ending his life like this, but he had no choice.

It was then.

said Roman Dmitry.

“The Marquis of Memphis communicated directly with Alexander and led the evil deeds of Cronus. He will not immediately judge. Tied to this scaffold, he will be reminded of the miserable reality countless times, and he will slowly wither away in this space where everyone is watching. That is my punishment for the Marquis of Memphis.”

“What!”

I shook my head.

It wasn’t this.

He accepted death with difficulty, but Roman Dmitry punished him severely.

“Just kill them! I am the one who ruled this country. Stop insulting me and blow my head off like everyone else!”

cried out in evil

OK.

Roman Dmitri looked down at him.

He crouched down, met the Marquis of Memphis’s gaze, and whispered in a quiet voice so people couldn’t hear.

“There are two reasons why I don’t kill you right away. The first is to give options to those who followed you, even though they did not climb this scaffold. If they devise some kind of plan to save you in a space where everyone is watching, I will pull them out to the root and eradicate them all. But if you repress your anger when you have the opportunity, they will not dare to show their teeth when another opportunity presents itself.”

It was intentional.

open space.

If you deliberately neglect your vigilance, you will make the Marquis of Memphis accessible to anyone who wants to.

“The second is to keep the target for people to express their anger within reach. People have a lot of ill feelings towards you. If the people called the powerful people of this country had not been ruled by their ugly desires, the people of Cronus would not have lost their families. If someone violates the laws I have set and tries to harm you, I will use that existence as an example and prove what kind of person I am. But if the day comes when you will wither away and die in this place, not by anyone else, as the punishment I gave… … .”

laughed

That laugh seemed demonic to the Marquis of Memphis.

“This country will come completely under my control.”
