The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life

Chapter 448 Conquest of the Pandemonium (3)

Conquest of the Pandemonium.

It was a word that I couldn’t help but doubt my ears.

Isabel, who had been thinking about Chris’ remarks for a long time, said with a face that she couldn’t understand.

“… If I’m not misunderstood, does that mean that you opened the dimensional door to conquer the Pandemonium?”

“That’s right.”

It was absurd.

Are you going to conquer the demon realm?

He himself had been struggling to stop the war with the demon world, but Roman Dmitri came to an unexpected conclusion.

‘Does Roman Dmitri really think that conquering the demon realm is possible?’

she too

I wanted to sympathize.

For the ideal future of conquest of the demon world, he wanted to burn his will to win the war like them.

But I couldn’t.

Because he was well aware of how futile his purpose was to conquer the Demon Realm, he had no choice but to pour cold water on those who were full of will.

“That is impossible.”

It was a firm answer.

At those words while looking at Chris, the eyes of the soldiers who were organizing the surroundings focused on Isabel.

It was intentional.

I told everyone the truth, including Chris, and to their commander, Roman Dmitri.

“What do you think the conclusion I came to from far-fetched madness in the Demon Realm? It is said that human power can never handle the demon realm. Here in the Demon Realm, there is the Demon King who rules the Demon Realm and three army commanders who serve him. Babel, the commander of the 3rd corps you just defeated, is a corps commander from monsters, but above him are monsters who have been nobles since birth. Actually, those things aren’t that important. If it’s Roman Dmitri who overwhelmingly defeated Babel, it won’t be a problem just because he’s a high-ranking corps commander. But the Demon King is different.”

Devil.

When she first became aware of his existence, Isabel felt a suffocating fear.

he was special

In a chaotic time when there was no leader to rule the demon realm, the demon king subdued all demons in the demon realm that never succumbed.

It was a truly overwhelming force.

Babel, who was only a demon at the time, trembled at the gaze of the demon king, and like him, the demons who stood out in the great chaos bowed their heads, worshiping the demon king as a god.

The demon realm has been unified.

Isabel read the memories of the monsters and saw with her own eyes how shocking the history of that day was.

“The standards of the Demon Realm are different from those of the human world. I didn’t get the title of the demon king because I was the strongest among the many living creatures living in the demon realm, but I accepted the existence of the demon king because I judged that I couldn’t win even if all of them attacked. Conquering the Pandemonium means defeating such an existence. I also believe in Roman Dmitri. If it is a force that conquered the continent in a short time, it will surely show power that transcends human limitations. What I want to tell you now is not the realm of trust. Even knowing the strength of the Demon King, do we need to fight in an environment favorable to the enemy?”

My heart ached.

The reality that humans say their decisions are wrong even though they show the ideal look they hoped for made me feel hopeless.

However, I couldn’t ignore reality.

I believed that if you sincerely want humanity to move in the right direction, it is right to speak properly even in a miserable reality.

At least.

It was not a demonic conquest.

The war here was entirely unfavorable to humans.

“We must return to the surface world. The ground world also assimilates with the demon world, so the enemies exert their full power, but they can still counter the enemy’s attacks under the blessing of God. So take your pick.”

I turned my head.

At the end of it was Roman Dmitri.

“If we want to reverse the choice, now is the only time we can decide.”

* * *

Saint Isabel.

Her words had weight.

It made sense, and Roman Dmitry didn’t think she was necessarily wrong.

but.

“Isabel. We have already made our decision. And no one present here has easily thought of the goal of conquering the demon realm. the devil will be strong We chose to know the truth.”

all soldiers.

There was no agitation on his face.

Roman Dmitry told people the truth.

The possibility that not a single one of them might return alive, given how powerful the enemies lurking in the Demon Realm are.

Still, the reason the soldiers made their decision was clear.

War in enemy territory guarantees the safety of the family, and if the war is won, humans can achieve complete peace.

That was it.

The soldiers willingly risked their lives for the future of mankind because they believed in Roman Dmitri.

Rather, it was Isabel who was taken aback.

She thought she would be persuaded if she told her the truth about the demon realm, but she felt impatient with the calm people’s reactions.

“It’s not such a simple matter to think about. After this moment passes, we cannot undo our choices.”

It was a voice of concern.

Isabelle always worried about the worst.

That’s why he chose to go to the demon world, and now that all the soldiers who followed him died, he hoped that their sacrifice would not be in vain.

It’s not just to cause division.

If there was even a little bit of danger, he thought it was necessary to warn him of the danger no matter what the general trend would be.

her heart.

not everyone knew

People didn’t agree, but they remembered her sacrifice.

said Roman Dmitry.

“I have lived through the history of struggle. Barco, Marquis Benedict, Valhalla, and Cronus. At the time of war with them, everyone considered them impossible opponents, but after making a decision, they led the war to victory without hesitation. This time is no different. People believe in the footsteps of my life. I will ask you. When I faced the commander of the 3rd Corps, did you believe that I would win?”

“… I thought it might be dangerous. The Babel I know is powerful enough to lead an army.”

“Your concerns are legitimate. But I knocked down the barbell. My followers defeated their enemies with the confidence that I would defeat Babel. Isabelle. The beings you fear are my responsibility. I will not be defeated, so all you need is your faith to trust me.”

asserted

There was not the slightest doubt.

Even after hearing the devil’s truth, Roman Dmitri showed a firm attitude that he would not be defeated.

I asked last.

“We acknowledge your noble sacrifice, but there is no room for you to intervene in our decision. So choose. Will you put down your heavy burden as a saint and cooperate with us, or will you take a step back and observe the situation?”

at that point.

Isabelle couldn’t hide her trembling eyes.

* * *

It felt like getting hit in the back of the head.

It was the first time.

In a situation where the fate of mankind is at stake, the situation in which you say that this is not your domain.

“Isabelle, I believe in you.”

“Saintess, please tell us the correct answer.”

“Please give the Queen an order.”

all people.

I just looked at Isabel.

Because she is a saint and because she is a queen.

People didn’t look at her as the human Isabel and found the answers to all their problems in her.

So I couldn’t help but be embarrassed by Roman Dmitri’s words. Even though the fate of mankind was at stake, there was no room for him to intervene, and he said that he could remain as a bystander if he wanted to.

suddenly.

Leo’s words came to mind.

She said that even if she puts down the burden of being a saint, humans will always find an answer.

‘People have found a new answer. I believe that if you follow Roman Dmitri, you can handle even the Demon King, just as you destroyed Cronus and Valhalla. Leo was right. Even if it’s not me, there are people who can take my place, and Roman Dmitri is more than enough to fill that role. I can’t act like that. I’m not strong enough to utter the conviction that I’ll definitely win in a situation where I’m facing an unknown being like a demon king. Both physically and mentally.’

Looking back.

People couldn’t help but listen to him.

She mentions the existence of the demon world, but she couldn’t come up with a way to deal with it.

because it was real

People turned away from it because it was an unacceptable reality, and regarded the demon world as an unavoidable natural disaster.

Luna has become so closed.

It was a world where only those who followed Isabel lived, and Isabel never thought that it could encompass everyone.

Roman Dmitry was different.

earned people’s trust.

He said that if you prove yourself by destroying Cronus and Valhalla and follow him, no problem will be a problem.

What people needed was that kind of confidence.

Even if it was a feeling of grabbing a straw at the edge of a cliff, the leader’s confidence had a tremendous impact on the people.

‘God knew. The fact that Roman Dmitri will never be shaken by any danger.’

really.

My mind was complicated.

When we first met, he drew the line that he would only pursue his personal goals and would not sacrifice himself for the sake of mankind.

He was an honest person.

If he was the protagonist of the oracle, he thought that a certain resolution was needed to collide with the demon world.

For those who pursue personal goals, the Demon Realm is a very threatening enemy.

Until humanity was cornered, it seemed that they would never risk waging war against the Demon World themselves.

It was a mistake.

Roman Dmitry was bold.

As soon as he regarded the demon realm as an enemy, instead of ignoring the danger, he boldly decided to conquer the demon realm.

I wanted to believe.

More than a god who doesn’t always tell the right answer.

I really hoped that this being in front of me would solve all my problems.

‘Oh God. If Roman Dmitri is indeed the protagonist of the oracle you have been waiting for, from now on I will do what my heart tells me to do without thinking about the future. I will do what I think is right.’

The silence was long.

People looked at Isabel.

No matter what choice she made, people wanted to support her because she was worth it.

Isabelle said.

“I will join you. I want to follow Roman Dmitri to defeat the demons of the underworld and restore peace.”

made a decision

There were no more traces of worry on her face.

* * *

Things have been sorted out.

meanings were gathered.

Upon Isabel’s joining, the leaders of the Continental Alliance gathered together for the future.

“Isabelle, please.”

“all right.”

He nodded.

Isabelle had spent a long time in the Pandemonium, so it was necessary to devise a strategy based on her information.

“The Pandemonium is a completely different world from the terrestrial world. The purple color that dyed the world dark means that it has been completely contaminated by the magic of darkness, and it has turned into an environment in which normal animals and plants cannot grow. And that is also the reason why the demon king wants to occupy the earthly world. It is intended to extend the lifespan of the Demon Realm by absorbing other dimensions before this world, which has reached the end of its lifespan, perishes.”

dimensional rules.

It was the price of indiscriminately violating it.

If Alexandre continued to exist, the earthly world would one day meet the same ending as the demonic world.

“Even I haven’t been able to confirm how many monsters exist in the Pandemonium yet. What is certain is that if the demon king cannot be defeated, it is impossible to conquer the demon world, and he is living in the only remaining building in the demon world called the demon king castle. But getting there is impossible. The moment the dimensional door opened, the Demon King would have noticed our presence and would have sent troops here. If there were a small number of people, they would move while erasing their tracks with the power of divine power, but it would be virtually impossible to avoid the demon lord’s gaze with a force this large.”

That was bad news.

The reason Isabel was able to survive in the Demon Realm was because she moved while erasing her traces.

If that method is not available.

I had to deal with the war of attrition.

And in this world infested with countless monsters, it was virtually impossible to handle them with the number of humans.

Isabel also had no clear solution.

If she had been able to solve the problem, she would have carried out any method before Roman Dmitri decided to conquer Pandemonium.

I couldn’t even move on my own.

No matter how strong the power of divine power is, the closer the distance to the demon castle, the more exposed it is.

at last.

There was no way.

When everyone’s eyes turned to Roman Dmitri, he calmly listened to the story and finally opened his mouth.

“Like Isabel said, there is no shortcut to this trip to the demon world. Even if it does exist, the beings in the demon realm will have a better understanding of it than we, who are not familiar with this world. If there is no way to erase traces even with divine power, we have no choice but to choose one way.”

From the beginning, the rough picture was decided.

The simplest yet most sure way.

“All-out war. From now on, we will slaughter all the enemies we encounter and move to the Devil Castle.”
