## Chapter 1311 – Demons

“Taste the Bandit Meteor Strike!”

—Whoosh!

The heads of the looters I launched from my hands were practically cannonballs. They tore through the air and collided with the demons, exploding on impact.

—BOOM!!

They were cannonballs, but…

They could also be described as sniper rifle bullets. I precisely read the signs and rained down those bullets on the demon landing force in front of me.

When all thirty-plus bullets were spent…

—Swish.

There was no forest left in front of me.

The Bandit Meteor Strike barrage had completely obliterated the trees. It was a shame I couldn’t spin the Zerglings anymore, but no matter. I managed to take out a large number of those demons.

“Ugh…!”
“Kuh-ah!”

Demon warriors with severed limbs writhed in puddles of their own blood, groaning. Those damn bastards dared… I was already furious because of those looter bastards, so this was perfect.

I’ll kill them all.

“You’re all dead, you bastards.”

—Whoosh!

I immediately deployed the Celestial Demon Extermination Jade in both hands and threw them left and right.

Then…

—KABOOOOOOOOOM!!!

With a white explosion, the other demon warriors who were waiting for an opportunity exploded, scattering their limbs. No one can escape my senses. From the moment you entered my vicinity, you were all dead.

“Cough…!”

Of course, the refugees suffered no harm in the process. I wouldn’t allow that to happen. This is an era where multitasking is a basic skill. A hero must fight and kill enemies while protecting civilians.

If there was any damage, well, it was only to those who were attacked by the looters earlier. It seemed like one or two of the people with holes in their stomachs were still alive, but I don’t have the ability to heal them anyway.

It’s a pity, but they’re as good as dead.

“You there. Just keep dodging. I’ll take care of the demons and then check on you.”
“A, ah…!”
“Don’t space out. Move if you want to live!!!! That’s an order from this hero!!!”
“Y, yes sir!”

A stern shout snapped the refugees back to their senses, and they began to move, supporting the injured. In such urgent situations, scary words work better than kind ones.

“Alright, then… you living bastards.”

I expanded my senses and scanned the surroundings. There were no other demon presences. The only ones alive were the demon warriors writhing with shattered limbs in front of me.

—Thud, thud.

I walked towards them.

If they were still breathing, I might be able to extract some information.

“Kuh…! M, my arm…!”

A demon warrior with severed limbs flailed and uttered those words. This bastard… it doesn’t seem like your arm is the only problem.

“Not just your arm, you don’t have legs either.”
“Wh, what! Ugh! Ugh! Get away from me!”
“Hehehe, get away? Where would I get away to? Hey. Get up.”
“Ugh!”
“I said get up!”
“Get away!”

The guy just screamed and didn’t get up as I told him to…!

“YOU!!!! YOU son of a bitch!!!!!!! Didn’t you hear me!!!! Get up quickly!!!!”

Does this bastard still not understand the situation!!!

“Get uuuuuuuuuup!!!”
“Kyaaaaaaaah!!”

I squatted down and pulled out a clump of the guy’s hair, scolding him. Scalp came off with the hair pulled out by the roots! Indians! The settlers who invaded the New World enjoyed scalping the Indians!

How is that any different from the tragedy of the Congo!!!

“Get up! Get up! Get uuuuuuuuuup!!”
“M, my leg! My leg won’t move!”
“Get up even if it won’t move!!!”
“I don’t have a leg! I don’t have a leeeeg!!”
“If you don’t have a leg, make one and get up, you frustrating son of a bitch!!!”

The kid doesn’t understand!!!

“Kyaaaaaaaah!”

—Thwack!

Enraged, I stomped on the guy’s abdomen.

—Boom!

With that, the guy exploded. The condensed power exploded. I don’t need a bastard who can’t even stand on his own two feet.

“Haa.”

I exhaled after exploding the guy.

“U, ugh…!”
“Save me!”
“Run away!”

About five demon warriors were still alive and wriggling. These bastards need my kind warning.

“If this Kim Kat says to get up.”

So I said.

“Even if your legs don’t move. Even if you don’t have legs, you have to get up. This Kim Kat’s command is like that.”

Absolute being.

Hero.

Savior.

Celestial Demon.

My command, standing above those titles.
Is heavier than anything else.

“If you don’t have legs, make them and get up. Or stand on your arms like a Geodude. There are many ways!!!! But why aren’t you listening!!! Just do something!!!! That’s your problem!! You don’t have the will to do it in the first place!!! That’s why you can’t even think of using your arms!!! You!!! All of you get up!!!!”
“Ugh…!”

The demons without limbs groaned and wriggled their bodies at my scolding…!

What if you don’t have limbs!!!

If I tell you to get up, you have to get up!!!

“But you didn’t get up!!!”
“W, wait a minute! Wait up!!”

The explosion of the Celestial Demon Extermination Jade. The demons who had lost all their limbs screamed in fear, but I don’t care anymore. You won’t get up? Then die, demons.

—Thwack!!

I stomped on their abdomens one by one, except for one, and blew them all up.

“You’re the only one left.”
“Y, you crazy bastard!”
“Shut up. Just tell me what you know.”
“I won’t say anything! Long live the demons! You will die soon!”
“What happens after I die?”
“The revival of the Demon Realm!”
“Hehehe, is that the goal? But this bastard is so talkative. Spilling all the classified information.”
“No way!”

Stupid bastard!

“Anyway, let’s get ready to talk.”
“Let go!”

The guy writhed like a caterpillar, but even if he had all his limbs intact, he wouldn’t have been able to launch a valid attack against me. No. It would be the same even if he had eight arms and sixteen legs.

—Stab!

“Kiyaaaaaaaah!”

I immediately shoved my bent fingers into the cross-section of the guy’s arm and scraped the muscles attached to the bone. I twisted my fingers around like that, breaking the guy’s will.

“If you resist this hero of humanity, there will only be pain, demon. Tell me what you know if you don’t want to die.”
“Kaaaaaak!!! Ka-haaaaaaaak!!”

The torture continued for a while. In the first place, these demon warriors don’t die just from having their limbs severed. Therefore, I was able to perform even more diverse tortures, and the guy soon lost his will.

“Kuh…!”
“Good. Tell me. Where is the fleet now?”
“It’s… in the dimensional rift… Kuh-heuk!”

He’s talking about the heavens.

“When did you land?”
“F… no. Fi, five days ago…”
“What’s the mission?”
“To collect information and… to wear down the human resistance… Heuk!”
“What about the return?”
“A, a ship will come to the designated coordinates… Grrr.”
“Tell me the coordinates.”
“Ex… Grrr…”

The guy started spitting out blood foam.

“Pe, Pelazer-nim… Long live… Kuh-heuk.”

Those were the guy’s last words. I immediately deployed the Celestial Demon Extermination Jade and threw it on the floor. —Kaboom! An explosion occurred, and with that, the demons’ corpses disappeared without a trace.

“There was no useful information.”

Is that all?

Then let’s just take care of the refugees and go our way.
I immediately moved towards the refugees.

“T, thank you! Heuk!”
“Thank you, angel-nim!!”
“Angel-nimmmmmmm!!!”

The refugees cried and praised me. Well, this is a natural thing. I killed all their enemies, even though I acted a bit cruelly.

“Okay. You guys survived. So pack your things and leave this place quickly.”
“Where should we go!!!”
“I don’t know. Where you need to go to survive. That’s something I don’t know.”
“What do you mean!”

There is no safe place in this Karga Kingdom right now. The capital is not currently under attack, but that doesn’t guarantee safety. If the demons resume their attacks, all the land is dangerous.

So I’m not telling them where to go.

Because everywhere is dangerous.

I don’t want them to die because they moved according to my words.

“Until I kill all the demons… there is no safe place in this land. So move according to your judgment. There is no right answer other than struggling to survive.”

I will save humanity.

Yes.

I can save them in the big picture.
But in the small picture. That is, individuals.

Individuals have to struggle.

Just like relying on God doesn’t solve everything. That’s natural. You have to struggle to live. That’s how I’ve lived too.

“T, that can’t be! A, angel-nim! Then please come with us!”
“Angel-nim!”

The refugees wailed and begged me.

That can’t happen.

“I can’t go with you.”
“Heok!”

The refugees were horrified at my words.

“Please… save us! Please! I want to live!!”
“Heuk…! Heuk! Please! Angel-niim!!”

Adults and children, men and women, all bowed their heads and begged. No lie, it was a really desperate sight. I can’t forgive the demons who created this reality.

“My answer won’t change. I can’t take responsibility for you.”
“Wh, why! Why is that!!!”

A refugee screamed.

“Do you think I can take responsibility for and protect every single life of countless humans?”
“…”

The refugees closed their mouths at those words.

“That’s impossible. Even with this power, it’s impossible.”

That can’t be done.
Even Kim Kat, who has no impossibilities, can’t do that.

“Cherish the fact that you saved your lives now. You have to survive on your own. Run away and run away and survive again.”
“…”
“If you do that.”

They have to live on their own.

“Eventually, I will drive out the demons.”

Until then, I hope they survive.

With those words, I.

Spread my wings again and flew away. Anyway, damn… looters. This is still pissing me off, seriously. When I drive out all the demons, I will re-establish order in my name. In the world where I establish order… there are no looters. No murderers.

* * *

I roughly arrived at the area Liztina told me about.

It’s definitely towards the city of Kaisen, and I heard there’s a mansion a bit away from there… hmm.

“Shit.”

The city judged to be Kaisen was completely ruined.

As soon as I recognized that, I started to get nervous.

First of all, according to the report that Kadia brought up, about half of the prominent cities were destroyed. Of course, this report is from the neighborhood where the church branch is located, and it is a collection of information gathered by the gathered nobles. The Royal Knights also added information.

But even though it’s half, it’s not completely accurate. Since everything is smashed, there is a limit to the delivery of information. The same goes for the operational duration of the airship. It’ll take some time to get the coordinates and stuff.

“Damn it.”

Surely they’re not all dead.

As soon as I thought that, my mind calmed down instead.

A calm mind.

Sharp senses detect everything around me.

I searched the surroundings while assuming the worst. The city is destroyed, but the nearby forest is relatively intact. They just destroyed the city and left. Then… since they said there’s a mansion a bit away from the city, it might be intact.

I flew straight in the direction Liztina told me about in that way.

The 라이벨벳 Raibelbet family is not exactly a lord, but just a noble family. There’s also a trading company, so you can say it’s a noble family that’s a bit large. As I repeated that information, I kept flying.

“Oh!!!”

I could find a building that looked like a mansion over there! Not just a mansion! That place built in the forest… felt like a kind of small village. It’s also a small village that looks like a rich neighborhood.

A mansion located next to a lake.

I could instinctively tell.
The Raibelbet family’s mansion was intact.

“Yahoo!!!!”

I landed while rejoicing.

—Thud!!!

I immediately sensed the surroundings.

First of all, I can feel the presence of people.
And a sense of vigilance too.

“Hello!!!!”

After confirming that there were no demons around, I shouted loudly towards the mansion. There were eyes watching this way from inside the mansion right now. Looking at it, it seemed like there were quite skilled people inside, but surely robbers didn’t take over the mansion.

“I came because Liztina Raibelbet sent me! Is anyone in the mansion!!!”

As soon as I said that.

—Click.

The front door of the mansion opened.

“Liz… sent you?”

What came out was a woman with a striking sky-blue bob that came down to her shoulders, with a face similar to Liztina. This is definitely a blood relationship! Okay! She’s alive!

“Yes!”

—Whoosh!

I narrowed the distance of dozens of meters in a single step and stood in front of her, immediately bending my waist 90 degrees and bowing politely.

“Nice to meet you! My name is Kim Kat! Liztina’s!”
“…?”
“I’m her husband! I came here! I came to find my father-in-law and mother-in-law, are they here now!”

The moment I raised my waist again while saying that.

“Heok…!”

The woman covered her mouth with her hand.

“Y, honey! It seems like Liz sent her husband!!! I, it seems like our son-in-law has come!!!”

So that was my mother-in-law.

—Gooo.

The tension that rose from the soles of my feet spread throughout my body.
Alright, then… how can I make a good impression when I greet them?

Ah, shit, I’m nervous.

How am I supposed to treat normal fathers-in-law and… mothers-in-law? Should I use extreme honorifics as usual?

—Swish.

As soon as I thought that, sweat started pouring out from my back, and my body started to cool down on its own… Sous vide Kim Kat. How long has it been since this happened? No. More than that, this transcendent being is sweating from his back, shit… And how am I supposed to say that Liz is my fifth wife?

I’m really going crazy.
