Episode 604: Departure (3)
It was a strange atmosphere.
As people watched, Kevin walked towards the monsters with a leisurely gait as if he were out for a walk.
Kyaak!
Krrrrrr.
The monsters reacted sensitively.
At first, it instinctively retreated at the presence of a predator, but now its eyes were bright red and it was expressing intense hostility.
The sole purpose granted by the Absolute. To desire the destruction of mankind.
The monsters could no longer stand the sight of the arrogant human approaching alone and rushed at him simultaneously.
Kyaaaaak!
Tata tata tata.
It was spectacular.
Kevin faced the black waves with a calm expression, looking at them.
Flash.
puck.
The first monster I encountered had its head blown off.
The A-grade, hard outer shell was torn to shreds, and the monsters that rushed in afterward also spurted blood from their limbs.
Phew.
It was a simple swordsmanship.
Kevin cut down each opponent he encountered, and blended into the space teeming with monsters. From a distance, it was a rather chaotic situation.
It seemed like Kevin was entangled with an uncountable number of monsters, but the match was decided with a chilling simplicity, centering around Kevin.
Kyaak!
hook.
The attack was deflected.
Even though the monsters thrust their teeth and swung their claws from all sides, Kevin was able to see through them accurately and made the attack meaningless.
It was a classic move. The attack was nullified, and then a counterattack. In the past, he would have dug in roughly and confused the enemies, but now Kevin had no reason to do so.
Everything around you centered around you.
It was in the palm of your hand.
It was completely visible that numerous monsters were attempting to attack simultaneously, so no precarious picture was formed.
A-class? B-class? Those things were meaningless. Against Kevin, they were nothing more than monsters, and the monsters’ limbs were torn apart by the aura of gentle waves.
It was different from before.
Him 30 years ago.
Kevin was possessed by the demon spirit.
When the battle started, he lost his senses and barely controlled it, drawing out his strength to the max. People in this world would not know.
Over the past 30 years, Kevin has pushed himself to his limits by training every day like in a real fight.
As the days of the Ghost Demon Demon’s extreme manifestation and going mad continued, at some point, his mental power broke through its limits and reached an unknown boundary.
It was the first.
A level that even the founder of the Ghost Demon Art could not reach, and which was not permitted to humans in the first place.
‘All stages.’
Controlled the ghost magic.
The voice that had been ringing loudly in my head melted into all my senses and told me everything about the monsters.
Monsters rushing in from the front, monsters targeting blind spots, monsters trying to dig into the ground and attack by surprise. Their existence and response methods were input into my head in 0.1 second increments.
It was quiet.
In the midst of the rough waves, Kevin had an overwhelming presence that was unwavering.
That was when.
“Be careful!”
Right behind.
Kang Min-ho shouted.
As he admired Kevin’s prowess, he witnessed a dazzling sight.
[Human, die!]
Breaking through dimensional boundaries.
S-class monster.
The Death Knight, known as the strongest single-armed force, has appeared.
* * *
A series of circumstances.
Kang Min-ho lost his mind.
Dmitry’s demon Kevin.
I knew he was strong.
If Sebastian had been telling the truth, Roman Dmitri’s closest associates, Chris and Kevin, were not ordinary people.
Beings who can single-handedly burn down an entire territory.
So I had high expectations for them, but when I first saw Kevin’s presence, I felt more bewildered than amazed.
It had to be that way.
A man in his mid-40s.
It was different from the information I already knew.
Kevin was probably in his early to mid twenties at most, but the man in front of him had an age gap of at least 20 years.
I had doubts.
What the heck is going on here?
Even though he revealed himself as Kevin with his signature red hair, Kang Min-ho couldn’t shake off his doubts even before the battle.

It was clear that something was wrong.
If Roman Dmitry’s plan had been carried out perfectly, Kevin, who was described as a ‘boy’ when he first met Roman Dmitry, should have been here.
yet.
A battle broke out.
The sight of Kevin slaughtering monsters alone sent goosebumps down Kang Min-ho’s entire body, despite his doubts.
“… … .”
I lost my mind.
There are more than one or two opponents.
Even when facing at least tens of thousands of monsters that filled his field of vision, Kevin’s movements did not waver at all.
They slaughtered them one by one as if they were killing machines.
In that concise movement, in that overwhelming force, Kang Min-ho could be certain of only one fact.
‘I’m still not sure if this person is Dmitry’s demon. His age of mid-40s and his extremely concise movements do not fit the words describing Dmitry’s demon at all, but what is certain is that he has crossed countless death lines, more than I can even dare to imagine. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to remain so calm in such a chaotic situation.’
Crunch.
I stomped on the monster’s head.
Even though blood spurted out like a fountain and drenched his body, he did not waver like Roman Dmitry.
I was in awe.
The fact that he could stand firm even in the face of endless monsters, and the fact that he was confident that he would definitely win at the end of this fierce battle. Somehow, it felt like he was Dmitry’s person.
That confidence, which is usually not found in people, was very similar to what I saw in Roman Dmitry.
That was when.
Tt …
Space is distorted.
A pitch-black aura rose up and something appeared, and it was an S-rank Death Knight.
‘Death Knight?!’
It was dangerous.
Death Knight.
Although there are A-ranks depending on the level of their previous life, the Death Knight that had just appeared before my eyes displayed a destructive presence. It was definitely an S-rank Death Knight.
The being that was considered the strongest single-armed force and therefore told to avoid direct confrontation at all costs pulled out a sword seething with dark magic.
Sling.
It was dangerous.
Kang Min-ho shouted.
“Be careful!”
I was worried.
If Kevin gets hurt.
This was the end.
He did not want to see his daughter and himself lose to the Death Knight, whether or not the opponent was the real Dmitry’s demon.
Kang Min-ho is also ready to jump forward in case of an unexpected situation.
But at that time.
Flash.
Pot.
Kang Min-ho saw it.
A head floating in the sky.
With a single blow, the Death Knight’s head is blown off.
* * *
It was a truly surreal sight.
At first, I felt doubt, then admiration and shock, and finally, I reached a point where I couldn’t believe it.
Thud.
Blood fell like rain.
The numerous monsters that attacked the A-Sector Shelter were all slaughtered by a single person named Kevin.
‘Is this realistically possible?’
The pupils shook.
I couldn’t believe it.
But I had to believe.
From beginning to end.
Because I witnessed the whole process.
As I watched Kevin slaughter them all without any help from anyone else, I began to understand why Dmitry’s demons were known as a symbol of fear to their enemies.
If I had such a being as my enemy, I would have felt a different kind of fear than Roman Dmitry. The cold, settling gaze did not allow even a single one to survive.
Kevin approached.
With a face as blood-soaked as his red hair, he looked at Kang Min-ho and asked calmly.
“Where is His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry?”
“… … You are currently pursuing the Absolutes. To end this chaos, you must deal with them all.”
“Then, please tell me how to join His Majesty the Emperor. I will follow His Majesty the Emperor and deal with all the Absolutes.”
It was an arrogant statement.
Even though the Absolute is a being that transcends the limitations of living beings, there was no hesitation in Kevin’s statement that he would follow Roman Dmitry.
Kevin already participated in the conquest of the Demon World 30 years ago.
He had heard about how dangerous the Absolute was, but that did not make him back down.
Kang Min-ho swallowed dry saliva.
Knowing that Kevin’s words were not empty, he had no choice but to ask for one thing.
“… … I am truly sorry to ask you this, but before you follow His Majesty the Emperor, could you help the Korean Empire? The Korean Empire is in a very dangerous situation right now, even outside of this place. Please, please help us.”
A little while ago.
Communication was lost.
In the midst of the chaos, the communications device was destroyed, and before that, we heard that it was too dangerous to help in the A-Sector shelter.
Perhaps the worst could have happened. Kang Min-ho knew that dealing with the Absolute was important, but he had to muster up the courage for the sake of the safety of the Korean Empire.
Roman Dmitry too.
I would like to hope so.
As much as he had emphasized the safety of the Korean Empire, Kang Min-ho desperately needed Kevin’s help.
however.
“What do you think Dmitry’s participation in the war means?”
“… … What is that?”
Kevin laughed.
People of this world.
They didn’t know yet.
What kind of life Dmitry has lived.
Kevin looked into Kang Min-ho’s anxious, wavering eyes and spoke in a firm and clear voice.
“Don’t worry. The danger to the Korean Empire will soon be eliminated.”
* * *
It was just as Kang Min-ho expected.
The crisis of the Korean Empire.
Kim Jun-hyeok fell into despair.
Although they thought they could somehow endure it since they had prepared for it, the Korean Empire was cornered even though less than four hours had passed.
The power of the Absolutes was immense. Not only was it enough to create thousands of gates, but Kim Jun-hyeok swallowed dry saliva at the destructive magic power that could destroy the castle walls.
‘… … So this is how it ends up.’
There was no perfect victory.
From now on, we will fight fiercely.
Even if countless people die, Roman Dmitry will fight and fight until he has slaughtered all the absolutes.
If Roman Dmitry achieves victory in the end.
Kim Jun-hyeok shouted at the top of his lungs just for the fact that even if he himself could not survive, someone else would be able to enjoy that peace.
He encouraged them to stand up to their enemies and not fall.
In that situation.
Kim Jun-hyeok received a call.
[Mayor! We have secured the dimensional passage!]
It was earlier than expected.
As the Absolutes created numerous gates, the Hundred Days Wizards secured the passage more than four hours earlier.
At the same time.
Kim Jun-hyuk witnessed a scene that will forever be remembered in history.
Hwaak.
Tt …
A dimensional passage was formed.
And beyond that, a tremendous vibration resonated.
People who were fighting with monsters looked back with surprise for a moment.
yet.
“All nations, charge!”
“Charge!”
“Wow!”
Beyond the dimension.
A huge army appeared.
At their head was Chris, and as Chris charged into the enemy lines and slaughtered the monsters, Dmitry’s men followed suit.
It was like a gigantic tidal wave. As if a tidal wave had risen high into the sky and was sweeping away the land, monsters were helplessly swept away from all directions.
“asleep!”
“For His Majesty the Emperor!”
Hostility was running rampant.
The monsters retaliated with bloodshot eyes, but Dmitry’s soldiers blocked them and struck their vital points with their weapons.
This was not the appearance of a normal soldier. Even though the monsters corresponding to A grade were rushing at them, the soldiers calmly blocked them and eventually blew off their opponents’ heads.
Phew!
That wasn’t all.
As the monster using magic unleashed its magical power, the soldiers all unanimously activated ‘something’.
“Form an iron wall formation!”
“Form an iron wall formation!”
Flash.
Kurrururururung.
The artifact glowed.
Suddenly, a huge iron wall was formed, filling the space tightly like a castle wall.
And then above that.
Boom!
Kwarrrrrrrrrr.
The magic happened.
The monsters’ magic was blocked by an iron wall, but then it suddenly disappeared like a mirage and Dmitry’s soldiers swept away the monsters once again.
The changes over the past 30 years haven’t just been the work of key figures like Kevin.
Magic civilization.
A great leap forward has been made.
Dmitry’s world has gained powerful magical powers that can now be applied to ordinary soldiers as well.
Boom!
When magic strikes.
As expected, they responded with an iron wall formation.
Then he immediately counterattacked, and Dmitry’s soldiers dodged the monster’s attacks and stabbed it in the heart with their swords.
puck!
“asleep!”
My eyes were wide open.
Soldiers of the Korean Empire.
No, even Kim Jun-hyeok was so surprised that he lost his mind.
There was a picture people were expecting with Dmitry joining.
I thought that familiar names like Dmitry’s Flash Chris, Dmitry’s Demon Kevin, and Dmitry’s Greatest Wizard Felix would come out and help.
However, their presence was not as prominent as expected. Christ took on the role of commander and showed himself leading the soldiers.
And yet.
The battlefield was swept away with overwhelming force.
It wasn’t just the performance of one or two special characters, but the entire Dmitry group overwhelmingly displayed their presence.
“… … Is this Dmitry’s power?”
I got goosebumps.
Dmitry’s participation in the war.
It occurred to me that perhaps, it might produce results beyond what I had imagined.
