The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 442
Chapter 441 Overall Ranking (8)
The day of the finals.
The spectators were overwhelmed by the sight of Chris knocking Kevin down.
drip drip
Blood dripped from the forearm.
Sweat-soaked hair hung limply, and Chris looked up at the crowd with a slightly strained face.
I could see people’s eyes stained with astonishment.
Contrary to expectations, those who had divided opinions on the confrontation between Chris and Kevin were shocked by the overwhelming result.
this spot.
It’s not just ordinary people.
The talented players who were eliminated in the previous round, and key figures from each country, watched the stage that will go down in history.
I got goosebumps.
on stage.
The man who catches everyone’s attention is not Roman Dmitri.
If he had already written countless legends, he would understand the realm of nonsense, but I felt complicated about the fact that it was an area that even Chris could not touch.
It was as Roman Dmitri intended. This competition is not simply a stage of opportunity.
On the face of it, it seemed to give each country a chance to prove themselves, but the end had to be ended with Dmitry getting all the spotlight.
The walls of Cheolongseong were piled up.
The existence of Chris who subdued Kevin, who destroyed the sexuality of Dmitri’s prosecutors, Edwin Hector.
People looked up.
In reality, I was completely subdued by the way I looked down at Chris and mentally.
Bubbly.
Chris took a step.
He didn’t care about the bloody forearms.
The confrontation with Kevin put a lot of pressure on him, but he didn’t want to be remembered as a weak person at this moment when he was recognized as Dmitri’s second-in-command.
I finally stopped walking.
When I raised my head and looked at one place, Roman Dmitri stood up and said in a voice that overwhelmed everyone.
“With this, the ranking of the Unified Ranking was determined. Chris defeats Kevin and announces that he has become No. 1 in the Salamander Continent.”
“Waaaaaaa!”
“chris! chris!”
“chris! chris!”
Cheers like deterioration erupted from all directions.
People who were holding their breath in the tense tension burst into cheers all at once and congratulated the birth of No. 1 on the rankings.
but.
Everyone knew.
The number 1 position in the rankings is not the number 1 in the true sense.
Roman Dmitry asked.
“Preparing for this competition, you asked me for one thing. Except for me, the emperor of the overall ranking, I ask that those recognized as the strongest in the Salamander Continent be given a chance to challenge me. chris. So, are you going to challenge me now?”
People held their breath.
indeed.
Will Chris challenge the impossible?
Chris said.
“Yes, I will try.”
* * *
The confrontation did not proceed immediately.
After recovering enough that Chris needed time to recover, we decided to face off on the second day.
The wound was quite deep.
Fortunately, it was trauma-oriented, so it was possible to recover with a healing potion, and Chris, who recovered his body like that, prepared for a confrontation with Roman Dmitri.
Currently, the continent was in an uproar.
There were also those who belatedly headed to Dmitri after hearing that Chris, who was recognized as the No. 1 in the rankings through this tournament, would challenge.
The day was over.
Chris was left alone in the arena, swinging his sword until he was drenched in sweat.
‘Can I beat the master? Can I even become an opponent?’
It’s the moment you’ve been waiting for
The goal was finally in sight, but to Chris’s dismay, he felt afraid.
Battle with Barco.
From the time of the first conflict to the founding of the empire, right next to Roman Dmitri, he clearly witnessed what a monster he was.
I knew it myself. The fact that you will not be an opponent of Roman Dmitri.
Obviously, a catastrophic collapse could cost him his life, but Chris knew it was necessary.
out of the sky.
There was an army there.
In order to confirm how high the sky was, there was no choice but to experience and bump into it.
‘This match is only the first. From now on, every year I will keep my first place and will try to narrow the gap with my master based on this experience. Just as Kevin expressed a strong desire to defeat me one day, I also need clear experience to set goals.’
every moment.
Chris got into trouble.
Whenever he doubted whether he was right in targeting a monster like Roman Dmitri, Chris shook his head and made up his mind.
If it was a halfway goal, I would have compromised.
However, it was unacceptable for a person who wanted to become the best swordsman on the continent to compromise himself just because his goal was high.
Think about it.
Even if he won this tournament, would people recognize him as the best swordsman on the continent?
no.
Even if a year passes, even if 10 years pass, even if 100 years pass.
History only mentions Roman Dmitry.
Knowing that fact, Chris spoke of his confrontation with Roman Dmitri with the feeling of pushing himself to the brink.
It was then.
“chris.”
“… Master.”
It was Jonathan Knight Commander.
He came to the gymnasium and looked at Chris, who was stained with sweat.
“To think he was engrossed in training to look like that before the showdown. Even though you are not enough of a teacher right now, I hope you get enough rest. don’t you know too well The fact that the confrontation with His Majesty the Emperor Roman Dmitry will not change the result of working hard for one or two more days. What you need now is not to whip yourself harshly, but to discipline your mind and pursue the best outcome.”
“All right.”
He nodded.
That was right.
I came to the gymnasium in a hurry, but I knew that this was not very helpful.
Knight Commander Jonathan said.
“To be honest, I was truly impressed while watching the confrontation with Kevin. I taught you to be big, but you created a new level of skill that far surpasses it. To be honest… … I couldn’t even check how you attacked at the moment that decided the match against Kevin. You have already risen to the ranks of a great swordsman. Keep in mind that whatever the outcome of the confrontation with His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry, that fact will not change.”
both.
I knew the outcome of the confrontation.
Who will win and who will lose.
Knight Commander Jonathan couldn’t bear to speak the truth, so he told his one and only disciple the situation after that.
this confrontation.
That the challenge itself has meaning.
Chris, who calmly listened to the story, showed a determined look in his eyes.
“Thank you, Master.”
* * *
I did not know how the time passed.
After the sun went down and the sun rose again, I woke up to the cheers of the crowd and saw Roman Dmitri right in front of me.
For a moment, I felt short of breath.
Although she had lived her life staring at Roman Dmitri’s back, she could not hide her nervousness at the fact that she was dealing with him face to face.
eve.
There was something that Knight Commander Jonathan told me.
“Your Majesty is a man of good will. He is not the kind of person who will take matters into his own hands considering the relationship he has had with you, who has taken the stage as a challenger. Do your best from the start. That way, no matter what the outcome is, there will be no regrets left.”
Agreed.
Roman Dmitry was such a person.
And Chris neither expected nor wanted to be merciful.
Kwak.
I gripped my sword tightly.
How long have you been waiting for this moment?
From the time he was defeated by Roman Dmitri, who was called Dmitri’s jerk, Chris grew up like a tenacious follower of Roman Dmitri in front of him.
1st place in Dmitri’s flash combined ranking.
Such qualifiers were not obtained because they hoped for results, but were naturally achieved in the process of following their goals.
gazed at the front.
Chris’ head became complicated at the sight of Roman Dmitri, who did not make any preparations.
‘How will the master come out against me from the start? Considering the master’s inclination, he wouldn’t waste time, but he could rather take his time to prove the overwhelming difference between me and me. What is certain is that there are no odds for me either way. It is meaningless to count the numbers in a confrontation with the lord. If it’s a fight to lose anyway, I have to do my best from the start to lead the atmosphere.’
It will be hard.
Even though he knew it was impossible, he had no choice but to believe in the destructive power of One Island, which had entered a new realm.
I swallowed dry saliva.
I still didn’t notice any special signs from Roman Dmitri.
Usually prosecutors show signs of how to tackle before a showdown, but Roman Dmitri wasn’t in a position to attack.
If that was the case, it meant that he would not attempt to attack first.
It must be the intention to watch the reaction after giving Chris the first attack. At least, I was able to grasp that much with the information I could see in front of my eyes.
gritted it
blood dried up
Chris’s senses became acute as the referee raised the flag and the crowd cheered.
Mana was seething.
for one blast.
As if he had cut Kevin down at once, he intended to take away the atmosphere by attempting a strike from the start.
It was then.
flutter.
signal dropped.
Mana exploded and Chris’ sword pierced the space.
And that’s it.
Pooh.
“Gagging?!”
It was the last memory of Chris collapsing in a splatter of blood.
* * *
The contest is over.
After a series of shocking results, people have come to only one conclusion.
“All the legends about His Majesty Roman Dmitry were true. Because he accomplished such a great feat, he must have defeated even Chris with a single blow.”
“… I am so ashamed of myself for doubting my great achievements. In fact, at first, I had a suspicion that it was an exaggeration because I hadn’t seen it myself, as if the history books exaggerated the achievements of heroes. But not anymore. His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry is a living legend.”
“The meaning of this ranking match is not simple. All the talented people from each country challenged and were defeated by Dmitri’s swordsmen, and among them, Chris and Kevin, who were special, proved that they dare not compare to the Emperor Roman Dmitri. What does that mean? It means that the era of Dmitry has been opened. This annual competition will make Dmitry’s place unbeatable.”
It was different from the past.
If Kronos and Valhalla, once the two major mountain ranges of the continent, took and pressed other countries through checks, Roman Dmitri chose to boldly reveal Dmitri’s power.
It meant to see and judge for yourself.
If you want to challenge each other after experiencing each other’s strength, I’ll gladly accept it, but if not, I told you to keep your head down and follow Dmitri’s system.
The world has changed.
Like Roman Dmitri’s intention, public opinion towards Dmitri became more solid after the unified ranking match.
a few days later
Chris got up too.
Kevin had already been discharged from the hospital, and Chris, who was left alone in the hospital, said this to the visit of Knight Commander Jonathan.
“I knew it would be like this.”
Contrary to expectations, it was a light-hearted appearance.
after coming to my senses.
reviewed the confrontation.
He couldn’t properly confirm how Roman Dmitri had defeated him, but even in that split second, Chris had something to gain.
Roman Dmitry treated himself sincerely.
The moment he experienced firsthand how powerful an existence he had never dared to fathom, that alone thrilled Chris.
This was it.
Being this powerful is his goal, and he will continue to move towards it.
of course.
The odds of achieving his dream of surpassing Roman Dmitri felt slim to none, but the fact that he had decided on a direction for his life moving forward was enough for Chris.
Like Kevin, who was nothing but challenged himself.
He was also reckless, but he thought he had taken the first step.
Integrated ranking!
The stage that shook the world ended like that.
People accepted the system under which Dmitri ruled and let past moments pass by.
another month.
Just as people were getting into their daily lives, a call arrived from Dmitri.

Recipient is Dmitry Communications.
The sender was Odelia’s Special Intelligence Unit.
Moving with a special mission, they finally delivered the news they had been waiting for.
[Found the passage to the Pandemonium!]
Pandemonium.
It was absolutely not hopeful news that would disrupt the peace they had barely found.
