The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life

Chapter 461 Epilogue, New Days (5)

The position has been moved.

Kevin asked cautiously as they walked through the garden.

“… Lord. May I ask you a question?”

“Speak.”

“Three years ago. The lord accomplished a historic feat that everyone considered impossible by defeating the demon king. No one dares to challenge the master’s authority. The achievements made so far prove the existence of the master, and the annual competitions say that it is not a leap in the past. But why are you working so hard? Even those under your master’s feet melt into a peaceful era, but why is your master living as fiercely as he did that day three years ago?”

I knew it as soon as I saw Roman Dmitri.

Intensely burning eyes, a face drenched in sweat. A form of training that dares not fathom the depth.

developed

Roman Dmitri, who was thought to exist above the sky even three years ago, was pioneering new ground through constant training.

It was an incomprehensible situation for Kevin. It was not that he was ignorant of Roman Dmitri’s tendencies, but these were very peaceful times.

Even if he didn’t live so fiercely, Dmitry’s empire would enjoy unrestricted power, at least while he was alive.

why.

Do you mean continuing the struggle that has never been fought?

Seeing Kevin ask his sincerity, Roman Dmitri stopped and looked at the garden.

“As you said, there is no reason to live fiercely anymore. But Kevin. It is not the domain of leaders.”

I understand Kevin.

past life.

People who followed him in the past had the same reaction.

Even though he had already conquered Murim, he looked at himself immersed in training every day and asked why.

“People may enjoy peace. Rather than worrying about the safety of the country, their role is to pray for the future and peace of their families. However, if the leader is also tinged with peace, an unexpected disaster will threaten all of us someday. Did people anticipate the existence of the Demon King even just a few years ago? Did they expect that I, who came from a remote Dmitri family, would become the Emperor of the Empire? It won’t be. No one can say for sure what dangers may lie ahead of us, just as our lives have never gone as expected.”

Taiping Seongdae.

The presence of the Heavenly Demon took over Moorim.

With his armed force growing stronger day by day, people did not dare to attempt a rebellion.

“The danger cannot be shaken unless it appears before your eyes. So I am faithful to my role. So that I can take responsibility for the lives of those who died at my command, so that they do not make excuses that they did not know about the dangers that will come upon the world at any time. I cannot allow the slightest insecurity.”

In fact, people had no reason to attempt a rebellion.

The dictatorship of Baek Joong-hyeok was an ideal.

The downside of the dictatorship that everyone is worried about, at least under Baek Jung-hyeok’s rule, no big problems occurred.

As long as you don’t break the law.

did not hold back

They respected their lives and made them live within the framework of common sense.

So the day he died in his previous life.

Murim, regardless of power, was stained with great sadness.

“I am a being who has to live like that. I am not allowed to settle down in my current life and start a normal family.”

bottom of life.

From the time he chose to fight to survive, peace did not exist in the life of the Heavenly Demon.

walked ahead again.

Looking at his back, Kevin couldn’t say anything.

it was seen now

Roman Dmitry.

The burden borne by the Absolute.

* * *

Kevin returned home.

It was empty.

I was spread out on the bed in a space where there was nothing like an open chest.

“… What am I living for?”

many years ago.

When he first met Roman Dmitri, Kevin wanted to live a normal life like everyone else.

So he risked his life.

The life of the common people who looked at it in the slums to the extent that they gritted their teeth and cut off their arms was an object of envy.

And now that everything has been done. Embarrassingly, Kevin has lost his way.

Clearly, he hoped for a reality like this, but Kevin didn’t feel like wanting to do anything.

I didn’t know the cause until a few days ago.

But soon after meeting Roman Dmitry.

Kevin knew the truth.

‘I can’t be normal anymore.’

a life full of deprivation.

I lived in longing every day.

From the point of finally starting to live a human life, his longing for Roman Dmitri turned into an inferiority complex toward his competitors.

It was an unusual feeling. If people felt happiness in ordinary life, Kevin put the value of existence elsewhere.

It was a peaceful time.

Roman Dmitri was not dangerous and he, who only knew how to fight, was no longer needed.

so lazy

peaceful days.

Kevin withered away.

In a situation where he lost the meaning of his existence, he spent more time alone.

Just now.

I asked people around me about Chris’ current situation.

After winning the ranking match every year but losing miserably to Roman Dmitri, he said he is still working hard to prepare for the next tournament.

His goal is to be number one on the continent.

Even though he knew that his opponent was an impossible opponent, Roman Dmitri, he was not shaken by his goal.

‘… Your lord is right. Not everyone can live a normal life. Fortunately, Marie didn’t miss the time to live a normal life, but the happy couple looked different from what I was hoping for.’

Sigh.

I got up.

The world didn’t need Dmitri’s demon.

An object of faith turned into an object of fear, but Kevin did not care about such facts.

‘I will become stronger too. If a threat to Dmitri appears in the distant future, I will equip myself with a powerful force so that they cannot do anything. That is the meaning of my existence. For the sake of the lord who gave me a life worthy of a human being, I will accept death with a smile at the fact that I am living for the lord, even if it is peaceful until the moment I die.’

The only existence that filled the deficiency.

Roman Dmitry was to him God and the meaning of life.

Kevin immediately took up his sword and went out to the training ground.

So far, I’ve taken my knee against Chris every time, but I won’t remain a loser in the future.

That time.

In the conference room of a luxurious mansion, a series of people had a serious conversation.

“This is already the fourth attempt. In fact, I think it is impossible to placate ‘Him’.”

“This is not a place to talk about the impossible. Tell me how!”

The atmosphere was grim.

A being who sits in the seat of honor.

At his hardened expression, people looked at each other and each suggested a solution.

“Once the opponent has both wealth and honor. In the meantime, I have somehow put up conditions that ordinary people can covet, but I think we should approach it differently from now on. How about a beauty world? If we gather beauties from all over the continent and win his heart, we can turn things around.”

“You are right. That’s nice! Even if you have everything, the realm of reason is a different matter.”

“I don’t think so. He has revealed that he has a definite dream so far. Do you think such a person will be swayed by mere beauty world? And above all, the beauty world itself is not the type to be eaten. There are already women around him who express their love for his appearance, but we cannot accept it just because he asks for something in return.”

“Then how about attacking his master? I heard that they are very close.”

“Then if you touch the planting, you won’t be able to handle the later work.”

The atmosphere in the meeting room heated up.

last year.

I tried to negotiate whenever the opportunity arose, but each time it failed due to the firm response of the other party.

The problem is that there are no other options besides that. At least, I couldn’t give up even though I repeatedly failed at the person I could communicate with.

their heads.

It was his will.

Until he gave up, the people who served him had to somehow find a solution.

a man said

“In fact, it is impossible to persuade him on any condition if he has rejected all the conditions so far. Why don’t you show your sincerity? I long for it so far. Whatever you want, state the terms. If you say that you will give up even billions of dollars for compromise, you may show room for compromise in your sincere heart. And some words have different impact depending on who says them. The lord is leading Valentino, the top tier of the continent. If Marquis Valentino makes a decision, there will definitely be a way.”

The presence of the honorable mention was Valentino.

Seriously listening to people’s stories, he looked around and spoke in a serious voice.

“As you all know, the sword that Chris currently possesses is what I desperately want to possess. First No-Name. The symbolism of the series is great. Chris and Kevin, now called Dmitri’s future, competed for that one sack, and with Chris’ victory, the owner of the first no-name was decided. A sword with such a story is a great treasure for a collector like me. And now that His Majesty the Emperor Roman Dmitry no longer releases new swords, I will definitely have them.”

expressed aspirations.

Marquis Valentino has been working hard in the meantime.

He expanded his business like crazy, grew his power, and finally fulfilled his dream of becoming the top of the continent.

A year ago, people considered Valentino tops to be the best.

Because he remembers the dedication of the Valentino Company during the Pandemonium Conquest, he rose to the top position in just two years based on them.

I’m done with the preparations.

I met Chris with the thought that I could do anything now, but I was rejected in all three meetings.

Marquis Valentino said.

“I have been waiting for this moment. People say I have everything, but the meaning of my existence is to secure tangible value. I will choose the right method. If I showed my willingness to give my all rather than simply making an offer that I could accept, even Chris wouldn’t be able to reject it unconditionally. do not worry. Even if we lose a lot on this deal, Valentino will still be at the top.”

“I follow orders.”

“I follow orders.”

No one protested.

Everyone here knew that this was his kingdom and that Valentino’s desire to be the best in the world was his driving force.

blast furnace.

It would be hard for Chris to refuse this time.

The next day.

I went to see Chris.

As he returned from training, the Marquis Valentino blocked his way and said with a serious face.

“Chris. I’ve made three proposals and Chris has never shown any room for compromise. I understand. The fact that the sword bestowed by His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry cannot be replaced by anything else. But sometimes, no matter how precious something is, there comes a moment when you have to give it up.”

“Hey Marquis Valentino.”

Chris let out a sigh.

It was said three times, but Marquis Valentino constantly coveted his sword.

I did understand.

Knowing the tendencies of the Marquis Valentino, it was not that he could not understand his intense obsession.

But even Chris couldn’t accept his request.

Since First No-Name is unique in the world, I thought that nothing could replace it.

and.

He didn’t like the choice that came to him instead of Kevin.

Tried to refuse.

This time, I tried to draw a line, but Marquis Valentino spoke first.

Shuk.

“Take it.”

handed over something

It was blank.

As I looked at it with nothing written on it, an embarrassingly shocking remark pierced my ears.

“It is a blank slate. Write everything Chris wants you to fill the space where you can write thousands of words. If you do, I will colonel everything written in it in the name of the Valentino family. As you know, there is only one condition.”

I glanced at the waist.

sword hanging there.

The moment he confirmed First No-Name, Marquis Valentino’s eyes were stained with greed.

“I’ll give you everything in this world if you give it to me. Valentino has the power to do that.”
