The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life

n any situation, but in Roman’s world, the impact was different for each hit.

If Butler’s sword was showing 120% of the Aura that he had, it only had 80% of the power.
That was Roman’s goal.
Although he hadn’t reached a point where he could win against him head-on, he read the flow of Mana and attacked the weak spot precisely.

Kwang!

Kwakwang!

Auras clashed.
It was a close encounter that was unbelievable even when one saw them with the naked eye.
It was never easy to grasp the ever-changing eruption of Aura and attack the weak spot, but Roman’s incredible senses made such nonsense a reality.
That was why he was taking time to adapt to Butler’s sword technique.

He read the pattern when his opponent attacked and recalled the imaginary battles he had in his head.
In the imaginary world, he had died countless times to Butler.
Butler, who appeared in reality, was a stronger being than him, but the possibilities he had thought of in his head helped him read the future.

Swish!

He aimed for his head.
It was a direct flank attack.
It was a pattern that he had seen only once while fighting in the mountains, but Roman had a clear memory of how that attack worked.
It wasn’t just that.
He even thought of the various attacks that could come out after that.
Even though Butler hadn’t shown him any such attacks yet, the simulation he had run earlier in his head was helping him grasp the intentions of Butler.

The life of Heavenly Demon Baek Joon-hyuk was not smooth.
He had met enemies much stronger than Butler, but he had always managed to win in his own way.
The current situation was no different.

‘The analysis is finished.’

His movements changed instantly.
He dug into his opponent’s arms, and as Butler retrieved his sword and raised an Aura, Roman’s eyes caught on to an area that had much less Aura.

‘Heavenly Demon Sword Technique; Third Move.’

Kwakwang!

Rumble!

He did his best in that one attack.
The Mana in his dantian exploded.
Butler, who naturally thought that he could stop Roman’s attack, let the Auras collide, and his expression changed instantly.
He had felt a huge shock all over his body.
It felt like his insides were twisting, and as soon as he showed a slight tilt in balance, Roman did not miss.

Kwang!

Kwakwang!

It was an overwhelming attack.
It was only a small mistake, yet as soon as Roman Dmitry had caught onto that, he did not allow him even the slightest leeway.

Butler felt like he was being choked.
He was busy blocking the attack hurriedly, and as the Aura was uneven, Roman took advantage of the gap and attacked him once again.

Butler, a 5-Star Aura Swordsman, was now being pushed back.
When they saw Roman pushing him back, the people on both sides were more shocked than surprised.
It was because that made no sense.
It was far beyond their common sense for Roman Dmitry, a man in his mid-twenties, to push Butler back.

And at that moment, Butler’s patience reached its limit.

Butler thought, ‘This guy is really fucking crazy.’

Before he had accepted the Battle of Great Warriors, Edwin Hector had said that there would be a trap.
It was because he thought that Roman Dmitry could not win head-on, so he assumed there would be a plan he was hiding.
Nevertheless, the reality was different.

Roman did not seriously prepare any traps.
He showed his intention to defeat his opponent purely by force, and in reality, that pressure made Butler shake.

It was quite disappointing.
Butler had faced numerous swordsmen in his life.
Some of them were called geniuses, but Butler was equally gifted.
In his decades of experience, the presence of Roman Dmitry felt overwhelming.
Not just that, he also admired the boldness of Roman competing even in situations where the pressure was so bad.

‘We prepared for a year to attack the Cairo Kingdom.
The plan that was supposed to be perfect started to go awry because such a nonsensical existence was there on the Southern Front.
As long as Roman Dmitry lives and breathes, we cannot achieve our goals.
If I let Roman Dmitry continue to live like this, he will become a monster that the Hector Kingdom will never be able to handle.’

Butler acknowledged his opponent.
Even when he was in his twenties, he wasn’t like this.
Not only did he not possess as great an ability as Roman when he was in his twenties, but he also wasn’t brave enough to risk his life even when he knew the opponent was far stronger than him.

To be precise, it was hard to show courage in a world of common sense.

Butler had obviously lived the life of a fighter, but he was nothing when compared to Roman Dmitry standing in front of him.

Therefore,

‘I have to kill Roman Dmitry right here.’

It did not change the fact that he was currently stronger than Roman.
Roman was certainly showing skills that were amazing, but Butler felt confident when they exchanged blows.

He was stronger, and he exploded his Aura.
He completely used his Mana to push the opponent to one side.

Kwang!

Kwakwang!

There was no way to stop it.
It was an Extreme Aura Eruption.
As he was now exerting everything there was in his body, Roman decided to avoid his attacks with movement rather than blocking them head-on.
It was quite a clever move, and he was moving quickly with no hesitation.

Nonetheless, at that moment, Butler bet the odds.

‘If you accept this, I will admit that you are equal to me.’

He prepared one attack.
It was his ultimate attack.
The Mana in his body was boiling wildly and moving frantically.
It soon erupted like an active volcano, and as it was concentrated in only one place, it soared high enough to touch the sky and filled Roman’s entire vision.

While Butler was traveling throughout the continent, there were only two people who were able to stop this attack.
The first one was the first sword of the Hector Kingdom.
And the other one was one who had climbed the Continent Rankings.

Butler was currently using such an attack on Roman.

“It is the end now.”

Rumble!

Kwakwakwang!

The attack headed for Roman Dmitry without caring about anything else, and as the Sun was setting, the exploding Aura engulfed Roman Dmitry’s entire existence at once.

Editor’s Thoughts: That was so cool! Butler has gone all in and put everything he has on the line.
Roman even used the Heavenly Demon Sword Technique again.
Everyone else watching the battle must be going crazy lol.
The reactions in the next chapter will be amazing!
