The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well

Chapter 139: Monster Army, Charge! (4)

While the monsters were invading the supply depot.

Jung Minwoo was watching the invasion in hiding.

‘They’re fighting better than I expected?’

He thought the monsters would struggle, but they displayed excellent martial prowess, showing that they hadn’t wasted the past 10 years of training.

‘Are they at the average level of intermediate Sword Expert?’

It was a level of skill unbelievable for monsters.

There were plenty of enemies with lower skill levels than them, so overwhelming them was a natural consequence.

Moreover, since the Demonic Beasts were at the ‘Sword Master’ level, the knights couldn’t help but struggle against them.

‘But if someone at the Grand Sword Master level intervenes, the story will be different.’

If even one enemy soldier reached the Grand Sword Master level and joined the fight, the scales would tip in favor of the Beastmen.

‘They’re coming out.’

And to make matters worse, he could see a Beastman who had reached the same level as a ‘Grand Sword Master’ being deployed.

‘It’s where the supplies are, so it’s only natural that they would deploy an enemy at that level.’

Even if someone surpassed their level, it would be difficult to face 800 million at once.

T h is w a s co p i e d f r om ki n g m t l . o rg
‘If they attack with the determination to die, our side won’t be able to avoid annihilation.’

Conversely, it meant that if they fought at the risk of their lives, they could kill 800 million monsters.

‘…What should I do?’

If he drove them to their deaths, the invasion could be over within 10 years, but it was difficult to make a decision easily.

‘There are monsters who have been with me since they were students, it’s not easy to abandon them so heartlessly…’

The Black Goblin, who was currently being pushed back by the rabbit-eared Beastman, was the first one he had chosen at the training center, so he couldn’t help but feel more attached to it.

As he was agonizing over his decision.

“To be precise, you don’t have the right to hear my last words.”

“…What?”

“Only Master can hear my last words.”

The Black Goblin’s words struck his ears.

‘…To think I was agonizing over whether to kill or save such a loyal creature, I’m so foolish.’

He could create Demonic Beasts at any time, but he couldn’t create such a loyal subject at will.
Thi s w a s c o p i e d fr o m ki n g m t l .o rg

‘I have to save it, even if it means a loss.’

Jung Minwoo made a decision and sent a telepathic message to the Black Goblin through ‘Mind’s Eye’.

【I can’t leave you to die without hearing your last words】

And he began to pour Demonic Energy into the Black Goblin.

‘I’ll give it half of the Demonic Energy I gained from this invasion.’

It was a considerable loss in terms of calculation, but.

‘In the long run, there’s no better investment than this.’

He had no doubt that the Black Goblin would invade planets and bring back even more Demonic Energy.

T hi s w a s c op i e d fro m k i ng mt l . or g
‘I’ll pour out half of the Demonic Energy I got from the Liger planet.’

【You have received a large amount of Demonic Energy from a High Demon】

【Currently, the amount of Demonic Energy you can absorb through your Rank has been exceeded】

【Forcefully increasing your Rank】

【Rank has increased, evolving into a ‘Goblin King’】

【With the increase in Rank, you have slightly broken free from the shackles of ‘mortality’】

【As long as the master-servant relationship is maintained, ‘aging’ will not occur】

【You will not be subject to the limitations of ‘lifespan’ until your master, ‘Jung Minwoo’, dies】

【Talent is transformed into a Unique Trait】

【New Unique Trait added】

Countless message windows began to appear, obscuring his vision.
Thi s w as c o pi e d f r om k in g m t l .o rg

‘You’ve grown to the same Rank as the World Tree…?’

He was bewildered by the unexpected effect, but.

‘I gave it half of the Demonic Energy I got from the Liger planet, so it’s natural for its Rank to increase this much.’

It was Demonic Energy obtained from a place 100 times larger than the ‘Yurain’ planet, so the amount must have been considerable.

‘First, let’s check the changed information.’

He decided to look at the Goblin King’s information and used ‘Heaven’s Eye’.

【Loading information for ‘None’】

An information window appeared before his eyes.

『Information Window』

〈Basic Information〉

Name: None

Title: A―1

Gender: Male

Age: 7 years old

〈Detailed Information〉

Alignment: Evil

Unique Traits: 【Demonic Energy Affinity】, 【Leader】

Current Emotion: Pain

‘Demonic Energy Affinity… The name hasn’t changed.’

Even if the name was the same, the effect must have changed to be more powerful.

‘Let’s see what the effect is like.’

Jung Minwoo clicked on the Unique Trait to check the effect of ‘Demonic Energy Affinity’.

【Demonic Energy Affinity】

You can freely manipulate Demonic Energy.

A very simple and clear description.

‘Freely… That’s crazy, right?’

There was nothing better than a simple and clear effect.

‘If used well, it could exert tremendous power.’

Jung Minwoo felt satisfied and next checked the effect of the Unique Trait called ‘Leader’.

【Leader】

― During battle, the morale of your race is maximized.

― During battle, the physical abilities of your race are greatly increased.

― During battle, the stamina consumption of your race is greatly reduced.

‘…You’ve obtained something incredible, haven’t you?’

After checking the effect, Jung Minwoo realized that the ‘Goblin King’ had obtained a Unique Trait specialized for invasion.

‘This will make future invasions much easier.’

The Goblins’ level was already quite high, so receiving a buff here would maximize the effect.

As he looked away from the message window and towards the battlefield.

“Uwaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

“Die, all of you!”

“Power is surging from my body!!”

The Goblins began to overwhelm, no, crush the Beastmen.

‘The effect is certainly noticeable.’

If the situation had been slightly in their favor before, it was now safe to say that they had completely secured victory.

‘Now, all that’s left is for the Goblin King to fight well.’

Just in time, the black flames that had enveloped the Goblin King’s body were subsiding, as if it had absorbed all the Demonic Energy.

‘Hoo…’

And when the black flames completely subsided, Jung Minwoo exclaimed in admiration.

‘It’s become even more imposing than before?’

It wasn’t called the ‘Goblin King’ for nothing, its appearance had changed to befit the title of king.

‘Its energy is also considerable.’

Jung Minwoo was confident that the Goblin King would win this fight and decided to watch the situation unfold with a relaxed mind.

When the black flames enveloped the Goblin King’s body.

“Wh, what is this?”

The rabbit-eared Beastman, flustered by the intense heat, hastily retreated.

“This heat… What is it?”

Looking down at her legs.

“I got burned…?”

She could see a black burn mark on her right leg.

“I can just heal this later.”

The rabbit-eared Beastman tried to heal the wound with her regenerative ability by focusing Mana on her right leg, but.

“…It’s not healing?”

No matter how much Mana she poured into it, the black burn mark showed no signs of healing.

“…A burn inflicted by a mere monster isn’t healing?”

She was bewildered by the situation, something she had never experienced before surpassing her level.

“Ugh, Uwaaaaaaaaaaagh!”

The Goblin King, engulfed in black flames, screamed in pain.

“…I can get the burn treated later, it’s better to focus on the one in front of me for now.”

Feeling uneasy about the black flames that seemed to devour everything, the rabbit-eared Beastman adjusted her stance.

“I don’t know what it is, but it’s better to kill it now.”

If she waited and watched, it would only cause her trouble, so she decided to eliminate the monster right away.

“Its last struggle was refreshing, but that’s it.”

The rabbit-eared Beastman gathered her strength to finish it off in one blow and swung her fist towards the Goblin King.

Whoosh

Creating a tremendous gust of wind, her fist neared the ‘Goblin King’.

Swish
T hi s w as co p ie d f r om ki n g m t l. o r g

A thick hand emerged from the black flames and.

Grab

Boom!

It lightly caught her fist.

“Its hand disappeared earlier… More importantly, it caught my fist…?”

Confused that her full-powered attack had been blocked, she pulled her left arm back to swing it.

“You seem quite flustered.”

A mocking voice came from within the black flames.

“…You’re that same one from before, right?”

With a voice thicker than before, the rabbit-eared Beastman asked with a puzzled expression.

“That’s not important.”

Flare

The black flames enveloping its body grew, expanding its size, and.

Sizzle

“Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to think about how to survive right now?”

As the black flames died down, the Goblin King revealed itself.

“…Huh?”

The rabbit-eared Beastman stared at the Goblin King with trembling eyes.

“What’s wrong?”

And at the Goblin King’s question, the rabbit-eared Beastman.

Tremble, tremble, tremble

She just trembled, her eyes downcast, instead of answering.

A completely different reaction from her previous behavior.

One might wonder if she was scared just by its appearance, but.

Th i s was c o p i e d fr o m k i ngm t l. o rg
‘Wh, what kind of Goblin has this kind of pressure…’

The reason for the rabbit-eared Beastman’s reaction was simple.

Her sixth sense, which had saved her life for decades, was screaming at her to run away right now.

Glance

She cautiously turned her gaze towards the Goblin King.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?”

A monster, about 3 meters tall and three times larger than before, was looking down at her with arrogant eyes.

“…Ah.”

Meeting its gaze, the rabbit-eared Beastman realized one thing.

She was currently lower on the food chain than that monster.

“Now, shall we finish this fight?”

The Goblin King smirked slightly and.

Flare

Raised its left arm, focusing Demonic Energy.
T h is w a s c op i e d f ro m kin g m t l .o r g

“You were the strongest Beastman I’ve fought, so I’ll be generous and hear your last words.”

“L, last words?”

At the rabbit-eared Beastman’s question, the Goblin King shrugged and answered.

“Yes, wouldn’t it be too unfair to die without any last words?”

“…”

The Beastman, receiving back the offer she had made, felt.

‘…Is there no way to survive?’

Rather than feeling humiliated, she felt relieved that she could buy some time.

‘I’ll use all my strength to attack and run away…!’

With that thought, she.

“…My last words are.”

Decided to put her plan into action immediately.

“You’re going to die!!!”

Squeezing out all the Mana in her body, she enveloped herself with it.
Th i s w as c o pie d f ro m king m t l. o rg

“You shouldn’t have given me a chance to ambush you!!!”

Boom!

T h i s w as co p i e d fr om k in g m t l .or g
Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Except for her captured right hand, she used her remaining left arm and both legs to strike the Goblin King’s body.

“Haha! You can’t even react, can you?”

Believing her surprise attack had succeeded, she laughed and aimed a final blow at the Goblin King’s jaw, concentrating all her strength into her left hand.

Boooom!

Perhaps because she had poured all her strength into it, the destructive power was tremendous, creating a cloud of dust that obscured her vision.

“Haha, serves you right!”

Convinced that the Goblin King was dead, she turned to escape, but.

Halt

“…Huh?”

Her captured right hand restricted her movement, preventing her from leaving.

“Wh, what?”

Feeling an inexplicable chill, she cautiously lifted her head.

“Is it over?”

As the dust settled, the Goblin King’s figure was revealed, its expression indifferent.

“Gasp!”

She was shocked that her attacks hadn’t inflicted any damage.

“Unfortunately, I can’t grant your last words.”

The Goblin King swung its fist at her.

“W, wait! L, listen to me!!”

She hurriedly called out to the Goblin King, but.

“Your last words are over.”

The Goblin King ignored her words and punched her in the face.

Crrraaaash!

With a tremendous explosion.

T h is wa s c o p i e d fr o m k i n g m t l.o rg
Boom!

Her head exploded, and she died without being able to finish her sentence.
