The Heavenly Demon Can't Live Ordinarily - Episode 610
Epilogue, a beginning, not an end (1)
Korean Empire, Incheon.
Inside the Area A shelter.
Civilians who had evacuated to the shelter trembled in fear at the tremendous impact sound coming from outside..
Kwaang!
Crumbling rumbling.
The space shook..
According to Kim Jun-hyuk's explanation, the shelter had 10 layers of magic defense installed, but the people looked pale as the stone dust fell from the ceiling..
Did you say that humans are creatures of imagination? Every time he heard a huge impact sound or every time he saw stone dust falling before his eyes, an ominous imagination filled his body..
“……Could it be that the Korean Empire was defeated?.”
“Then it's over for us too. No matter how many layers of magic defense are installed, they are nothing against the Absolute..”
“Well, let’s not be rude.!”
“what? What an unlucky thing to say! I'm just stating the reality!”
It was truly chaos..
At first, they held on to their faith in Roman Dmitry, but as time passed, their faith inevitably wavered..
Still, no other problems occurred other than raising one's voice..
Most people firmly believed that Roman Dmitry would solve the problem, at least until a message arrived from outside..
In fact, there was no other option in the first place..
Seeing everyone saying the same thing out of anxiety, Kang Min-ah squatted down and covered her ears..
‘……dad.’
Tears came to my eyes.
That sound you hear outside.
Dad will be there at that scene..
Every time the shelter rang, Kang Min-ah's little face suddenly became filled with tears as she thought her father was in danger..
She lost her mother when she was young and cannot remember anything..
Kang Min-ho tried hard to remove his daughter's shadow as much as possible, but he could not escape the reality of a single-father family..
She didn't have the mother everyone else had..
My friends asked immaturely, and after realizing the reality, I never mentioned my mom in front of my dad..
I have grown up.
I had to grow up.
For the sake of her father, who was struggling to live alone, she was not allowed to play the role of an immature daughter..
‘If my dad dies, I have no reason to live anymore. So, please be safe. His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry. Please protect my dad from bad monsters, like you promised us..’
I clenched my fists tightly..
Seeing Kang Min-ah, her uncle hugged her..
Kwaang!
Cry rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The ringing continued..
At a time when people's anxiety was growing, the sound of shock suddenly disappeared as if it had been washed away..
“……what?”
“Is it over?.”
“Don't move too hastily! The entire defense force may have been wiped out.!”
Confused gazes tangled.
It was earlier than I thought.
Since it was a catastrophe that was expected to last at least 15 days to a month, the situation of the noise disappearing in such a short period of time could not have been hopeful. A feeling of fear came over me..
When they thought that there were no more people left to make 'noise', even those who raised their voices at each other could not say anything negative..
It was then.
Chick, Chick.
I heard a strange sound from the speaker.
Is it a loss or a victory?.
As kimchi was filling up in abundance, a familiar voice was heard that made people's faces brighten..
[Dear citizens of the Korean Empire, This is Roman Dmitry..]
“omg!”
“By, Emperor Roman Dmitry, His Majesty!”
People widened their eyes..
Roman Dmitry?!
everyone listened.
[A little while ago, we succeeded in taking out the last Absolute Volpyr. Let me take this opportunity to tell you clearly. The war is over. Humanity has won, and after eradicating even the last remaining monsters, we will give the people 'complete peace' as a gift..]
Tuk.
That was the end of it.
As soon as the communication was cut off to inform the entire Korean Empire, people hugged each other and cheered..
“lived!”
“we lived!”
“Long live His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry! hurray!”
Emotions boiled over violently..
And then.
Kang Min-ah saw.
Squeak.
Rumbling. Rumbling..
The shelter door was opened..
As people's eyes focused for a moment, the sun shone down from the dark sky and a human figure appeared..
“Everyone, are you okay??”
Minho Kang.
At his appearance, Kang Min-ah shook off her uncle's hand and ran forward..
“dad!”
* * *
Tuk.
communication was cut off.
Roman Dmitry, who announced the news of victory throughout the Korean Empire, immediately walked out of the government building..
Large space.
In the space that was originally used as a square, many people were lined up on the ruined land..
Whining.
The flag fluttered in the wind.
Men dressed in colorful military uniforms proudly raised their national flags to show Roman Dmitry..
There were more than one flag. Although it is a symbol that must be very unfamiliar to people in today's world, Roman Dmitry knew very well the countries that the flag represented..
Dmitri, Cairo, Hector, Umberto, etc..
All the Salamander nations gathered together.
The number was unfathomable, and familiar faces could be seen at the forefront of each country..
‘……It's been a long time.’
Dmitry.
Rodwell Dmitry was there..
The person who was younger than him became a middle-aged man, and even Lauren Dmitri, who was a young boy, showed signs of age..
Next to him are Chris, Kevin, Felix, etc. Every time I looked at my face, my emotions boiled over..
The more he thought about the years they had lived, the more precious this meeting became to Roman Dmitry..
In Cairo's camp, Daniel Cairo.
In Hector's camp, Edwin Hector.
everyone gathered.
I swallowed my emotions.
Now that the war is not completely over, there is no time to relax and get lost in emotions..
but.
Still, I had something to say..
stepped forward.
Roman Dmitry met each of the bloodshot eyes looking at him and opened his mouth..
“When I made the decision to leave Dmitry, I didn't even think twice. Even if it meant sacrificing myself, I thought I needed a sense of responsibility as a 'decision maker'. And now. At this moment when I face you, I am convinced that my choice was not wrong..”
It went round and round.
Even if I go back to that time.
Roman Dmitry would have made the same choice again.
As he was not yet prepared, he had to choose what was best for his people..
It was different now..
Now I'm ready to accept the new reality.
“Thank you very much. You guys didn't forget me, and I will never forget this moment..”
Words spoken calmly.
That moment.
“Wow-!”
“Long live His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry! hurray!”
“Long live His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry! hurray!”
all the people.
The entire square was filled with enthusiastic cheers..
* * *
a few days after that.
The problem that threatened humanity was quickly resolved..
As the dimensional crack disappeared, monsters could no longer come over, and solving the remaining monsters was not that much of a problem..
Dmitry's reinforcements. With their help, they were completely wiped out. Roman Dmitry had several hectic days as he solved each country's problems one after another..
“The damage in Brazil is very serious. Aid is essential to repair the damage.”
“The President of the United States has expressed his intention to actively help. They also suffered considerable damage, but it seems that countries classified as powerful countries have concluded their discussions to take the lead..”
“Spain…….”
“Australia…….”
News from each country was focused on.
Roman Dmitry.
He was the emperor of the Korean Empire and the head of the world government..
Although I wanted to return to Dmitry immediately, I did not make the mistake of giving up my duties for personal feelings..
No matter how special Dmitry is. The Korean Empire and people from all over the world also believed in Roman Dmitry and prepared for this war. He had a duty to take responsibility for them until the end..
time has passed.
When the situation was somewhat settled, Roman Dmitry summoned Felix..
“Are you ready?.”
“Yes, we have secured a dimensional passage to Dmitri. And as advised by His Majesty the Emperor, the plan to unify the two dimensions by taking advantage of the dimensional cracks that will occur due to the absence of the Absolute is progressing smoothly. Of course, if the dimensional crack continues, there is a high probability that problems will occur in the dimension itself, but according to research results over the past 30 years, the aftereffects can be minimized by continuously flowing the world tree's magic into the dimensional crack..”
“Good job.”
“no.”
30years of.
Dmitry's world has achieved a lot.
Rather than simply preparing for a reunion with Roman Dmitry, the whole world worked to solve the fundamental problem that forced Roman Dmitry to leave..
When I first heard the report, I couldn't even say thank you. He realized that he, as a leader, was not alone in finding a solution that he would not have known if he had made the judgment and decision alone..
now.
It was time to leave for Dmitry..
I had mixed feelings..
Seeing that he couldn't move quickly, Felix asked carefully..
“Are you worried??”
“worry… … . Yes, you are right to be worried. Lately, there have been a lot of things that made me feel very unfamiliar with unfamiliar emotions..”
We made eye contact.
Roman Dmitry smiled, facing Felix..
“But, it doesn’t feel that bad..”
took a step.
Dmitry.
It was time to return home.
* * *
It was truly a golden homecoming..
Upon Roman Dmitry's return, Dmitry's capital was filled with so many people that there was no room for movement..
“Your Majesty, Emperor Roman Dmitry! I missed you!”
“Congratulations on your safe return.!”
“You must never leave this place again.!”
30years ago.
People who were children when they succeeded in conquering the demon world grew older and brought their children to cheer enthusiastically..
In their memories, Roman Dmitry was a hero. The fact that he returned after solving humanity's problems and then suddenly disappeared made me feel good about losing my voice like this..
shouted from all directions.
Enthusiastic and raising his voice, he caught the sight of Roman Dmitry..
‘You're finally back.’
Roman Dmitry walked through the crowd..
After briefly greeting people, his eyes were taken by Dmitry's scenery, which was completely different from 30 years ago..
onetime.
Dmitry was also called the colorless city..
As iron mines and blacksmiths developed, workers roamed the streets, a sight that was frowned upon by the nobility of the capital..
It was different now. It was transformed into an appearance suitable for the capital of the Dmitry Empire..
The old buildings were demolished and magnificent buildings that fit the magic civilization were erected, strangely blending in with the characteristics of Dmitry as a city of blacksmiths, giving off a rather strong impression..
I was thrilled.
Based on the foundation laid well by Roman Dmitry, the sight of this flower blossoming gave an overwhelming feeling..
But take a moment to appreciate it.
There was a place I had to go right now..
30As the years passed and it was confirmed that Dmitry had crossed the boundary of the dimension, there was a part of Roman Dmitry that felt a little scared..
30Years were enough time to age and end one's life..
At first, I tried to check the fate of some people through Dmitry's people, but I thought I would want to go back to Dmitri immediately after hearing the truth, so I said I would check it myself..
I felt ominous.
I was nervous.
Only Roman Dmitrigan, who had not been this anxious when dealing with Volpyr, could not control his emotions now..
Dmitry escaped..
As the grass formed and the atmosphere became somewhat quiet, a very small sound was heard from afar..
Kaang-
Kaang, Kaang-
It was the sound of steel striking.
my heart was racing.
I hurried my steps.
And the moment you leave the grass and reach a small house that suddenly exists.
found two people.
A man who is still going strong despite his age and pounding steel and a woman drinking tea outside a building.
“……father, mother.”
called them.
Two old men with voices overflowing with emotion.
Romero Dmitry and Rihanna Dmitry's faces cracked.
