The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Ki and Mana (3)

It was so strange.

Just as a maniac came to mind while watching a boy named Kevin, Chris reminded me of a person in my memory.

‘It resembles a blood demon.’

blood horse and light horse.

They were the subordinates who followed Roman the best.

If it was Roman’s horse, he was so crazy that he would throw himself into a pit of fire, so if he was called a mad horse, then a blood horse was a master who ruled the world even before he was taken under his command.

The leader of the Blood Demon Cult. Conflicting with them over the power of magic was inevitable, and the Heavenly Demon and the Blood Demon had a fight in the wide plain.

The battle was fierce.

The ground turned upside down with a single stomp, and the sky split as soon as he swung his sword.

that day.

The Blood Demon was defeated.

He was a historical figure who unified the Blood Demon Church, but the power of Baek Jung-hyeok, the heavenly demon he faced, was on a different level.

demon.

Blood Demon knelt down.

Spitting out blood, he looked up at the Heavenly Demon in dismay and said,

“… I’ve never seen a strong guy like you in my life. admit my defeat The blood demon religion will follow the demon religion of Baek Jung-hyeok, the heavenly demon. That’s why I’m saying this, but what can I do to become strong like you? I’m going to follow you anyway, so if I become stronger, wouldn’t it be good for both of us.”

He was a cheeky yet unique human being.

Even though he was about to die right away, the blood demon threw away his pride and asked how to become stronger.

At first, I didn’t like the way the blood horse behaved, but the blood horse was not a person who said one word.

From then on, he blindly followed the Heavenly Demon and put down his pride that he was the pinnacle of the Cult of the Blood Demon and sincerely tried to become stronger.

Thanks to this, the Demonic Cult’s conquest of Murim was much easier.

It is because the head of the Namgung family, who was called the three greatest masters of the political faction, was decapitated by the sword of the blood demon, not the heavenly demon, Baek Jung-hyeok.

Chris and blood.

was a similar human being.

Her flushed face couldn’t hide her wounded pride, but she suppressed it in her desire to become stronger.

‘Revealing desire is the most humane look.’

I like it.

Roman has always liked honest people.

In front of them, they said they had no wishes, but behind them, rather than those who led the dark side, they stood by those who confidently demanded what they wished for.

Whatever the purpose of desire is.

If you wish for wealth, you will be given wealth, and those who want to be strong will make them stronger.

The stronger the desire, the more there was no betrayal of oneself.

Why?

Do you know the end of betrayal?

People with strong desires were quick to face reality, and Roman was a mountain they couldn’t dare climb.

‘What should I do with this guy?’

Interest turned.

It was obvious that Chris hated himself.

Perhaps he had some bad luck in the past, but what was more important to him was his desire to become stronger.

and.

‘Talent isn’t bad.’

Chris’ skeleton was strong.

If he had been faithfully training martial arts in Roman’s way, he would have been born with such a good talent that he would have surpassed the first-class level by now.

It’s just that he’s not using his talent properly in a trashy way.

Roman, who was examining Chris closely, spit out words with a smile on his face.

“I cannot tell you the answer.”

“… Then what are you going to do?”

“I said Don’t blindly follow someone’s way. Even if I can tell you the answer, it is no different from the life you have lived. So if you want to get an answer, stay by my side somehow from now on. 6 months later. I’m off to the battlefield In the process of dealing with numerous enemies, clearly see how I become stronger and how I destroy the enemy. If you remain by my side after 10 years… … .”

Chris’ eyes tremble.

I looked straight at him.

And he said it clearly.

“You will surely get the answer.”

* * *

Training is over.

Left alone where Roman left, Chris looked up at the blue sky and sighed deeply.

“ha.”

War.

It’s something you have to experience someday.

He knew that it was the fate of a knight, but he never imagined that he would follow Dmitri’s fool to the battlefield.

It would have been better if it was the second son.

If he was already famous in the capital, he would be proud and follow him, but he couldn’t accept the current situation at all.

‘It’s my own way.’

Roman’s advice.

It was the first time I heard it.

Roman’s remark caused a stir when he heard that he was a genius even if he learned well from generation to generation.

At first I tried to ignore it.

He dismissed it as nonsense, feeling that the years he had worked hard for were being denied, but the more he heard Roman’s words, the faster his heart beat.

That’s not wrong. Knowledge passed down from generation to generation eventually came from the same human being.

Being strong as a swordsman is not a one-way road, so why have I tried to stick to their way?

If you had thought about it a little and went through trial and error, wouldn’t there have been a path that was more suitable for you?

My brain was intricately entangled.

if.

If only Roman had been a man of words.

Chris wouldn’t have been in so much pain.

However, Roman, who experienced it for a short time, was not the kind of person Dmitri called an idiot.

‘Bocchan’s talent was real. I don’t know how he became so strong in such a short time, but the boy who had less strength than normal people two years ago has completely changed. Strong swordsmanship and a talent for erupting aura. If you haven’t been hiding your powers since you were young, then it’s clear that you’ve found your own way.’

possibility of electrons.

It makes no sense.

There is no reason to hide the power, nor a reason to reveal it now.

Roman became stronger in a short time.

Chris gained indescribable trust in the way he spoke clearly while looking into his eyes.

that day.

Chris is in trouble.

The sun went down and the sun rose again.

He had a haggard face because he hadn’t eaten, and he eventually made a decision and walked somewhere.

‘I want to be strong.’

Goal in life.

His desire was powerless.

He went to see his mentor, Knight Commander Jonathan, and told him honestly that he would follow Roman to the battlefield.

OK.

“… What happened?”

Jonathan.

He looked at Chris with a calm expression.

It was the first time Jonathan had seen a young boy weeping while holding onto his mother’s body on a battlefield littered with corpses.

That was Chris.

He was a gifted child and had a strong desire to become strong, so he grew up.

And he followed himself like a father.

I was sure that there must be a special reason for Chris to leave his side and say he would follow Roman.

mutual trust.

The two trusted each other.

Even if Chris didn’t bother to explain why, Jonathan nodded.

“If you say that, there must be a special reason. From now on, you will no longer belong to the Knights of Dmitry. As Master Roman’s escort, no matter what happens, be by his side and achieve your desired goal.”

“… thank you.”

food.

Jonathan laughed.

child who was young.

I was saddened by the fact that the dark-skinned boy had grown up and left his side.

“Thanks to you, I learned one thing. If the person I’ve experienced so far is enough to say I’ll follow him, Master Roman won’t be the idiot people talk about anymore. Starting tomorrow, make time for yourself. If you want to survive on the battlefield, you must have at least one secret weapon.”

“… Master!”

Chris’ eyes widened.

I don’t know what kind of days I will wait in the future, but Jonathan was a teacher that Chris followed with his heart no matter what anyone said.

* * *

Half a year later.

Roman leaves Dmitri even against his will.

The other nobles would cry and scream, but Roman’s heart was already beating fast when he thought of that time.

‘I am a person who cannot grow like a flower in a greenhouse. You will be satisfied only when you experience many things and live a reigning life. So I need to start preparing myself for the future six months from now.’

There is no perfect preparation in the world.

Variables are unpredictable.

However, preparing myself was another matter.

I was confident that if I laid the foundation to overcome any adversity, I would achieve my goal after suffering.

Roman visited Yeongji’s library.

And I read a lot of different kinds of books.

< ... The six-star state means transcending human limits. The size of the aura emitted through the sword reaches tens of meters, and the attack that condenses and explodes mana is powerful enough to wipe out dozens of soldiers at once. There are 12 people known as 6-star knights on the continent. They are called the Continental Twelve Swords and are treated as honored guests in any country. >

Continental Twelve Swords.

Even if you look at the information conveyed through text, they are strong people.

Even with an inefficient burst of energy, if it was enough to pull out an aura of dozens of meters, it surely reached the pinnacle of power in a way unique to this world.

It may be what Moorim’s standard is, but at the current level of Roman, they are not people who can be dealt with carelessly.

and.

< From the stage of the 7th circle, we call it the great mage. They are half-man, half-god walking disasters. In a situation where the ground turns upside down and the sky collapses in one shot of magic, and you simply deal with a large number of people, the great mage is more fearsome than a 6-star knight. >

Magic.

It was a power that Moorim did not have.

The more he read the information about the new world, the clearer Roman was about what to do right now.

‘I don’t know when these characters in the book will appear as my enemies. The odds of such an ordeal facing Dmitri’s country boy would be very slim, but it’s dangerous because variables are unpredictable. As of now, I cannot perfectly respond to variables. Therefore, I must go forward whenever the opportunity presents itself.’

widely.

I had work to do from now on.

Roman called Hans.

Anytime, anywhere, he appeared as if he had waited for Roman’s call.

“Did you call me, youngster?”

“I have a favor to ask of you.”

“Tell me.”

Hans’ attitude was polite.

Blood Fang.

It was an opportunity to see Roman again.

At the remark of acknowledging himself as a mere servant, Hans vowed to risk his life for Roman.

Some may laugh at Hans.

one word.

It’s a trivial life to risk one’s life on it.

However, each person has a different set of values, and for Hans, Roman has become a special being.

“I need a space to practice. It doesn’t matter if the size is large, but it should be a space that is completely blocked from the outside. In particular, the clearer the soundproofing, the better. Being interrupted in the middle of training is really the worst.”

“All right.”

He bowed his head.

didn’t ask

what kind of training do you do?

Why do you need that kind of space?

A person might ask a lot of questions, but Hans always just accepted Roman’s orders.

“And do you know the whereabouts of the boy named Kevin you met before?”

“yes. I have prepared a separate residence for Kevin, thinking that the young master might find it.”

“Good.”

A smile crept across his face.

To read the master’s mind and act in advance.

Hans was a man who had no choice but to be treated.

“Tell me where Kevin is. I made a promise to that boy then. He promised to take care of the problems he encountered through the correct process. Now that he has eliminated the main culprit, Blood Fang, as he wants, shouldn’t he personally visit him and tell him the good news? Also, he has a purpose he wants from a boy named Kevin.”

Kevin.

A child resembling a mad horse.

I wanted to see him again at least once, perhaps because of the aftermath of Chris.
