The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well

Chapter 148: William (5)

Five years later.

‘…I’ve fully recovered.’

William succeeded in completely healing his wounds, five years ahead of the expected time frame.

“Phew…”

As he got out of bed and stretched.

Crack—

His bones popped, and he felt refreshed.

‘Should I check my status?’

William approached the full-length mirror,

‘…They’ve decreased slightly.’

He could see that his muscles had shrunk.

It was a subtle difference that wouldn’t be noticeable unless you looked closely.

‘I need to step up my training.’

William was not pleased with the muscle loss itself.

‘At least it’s fortunate that my Demonic Energy capacity has increased a bit.’

T hi s w a s copi e d fr om k ingmtl. o r g
After lying in bed for five years and only circulating Demonic Energy, its capacity naturally increased.

‘Now that I’m fully recovered, should I go take a bath for the first time in a while?’

Usually, the servants would meticulously clean his body, but that wasn’t enough to erase the feeling of uncleanliness.

Just as William put on a light coat and was about to go outside.

Creak—

“Oppa, are you resting well?”

Bianca opened the bedroom door and came inside.

“Good morning.”

William greeted her with a bright smile.

“…Y-You’re standing?”

Bianca approached him with an incredulous expression.

“Oppa, are you alright?”

“Yes, I’m fine.”

At her question, William moved his body as if to show there was no problem.

“The Demon Lord-nim said it would take ten years, but you’ve fully recovered in five…?”

“I was so bored just lying in bed. I worked hard to recover.”

Unable to hide her surprise, Bianca touched William’s body here and there.

“…It’s a little embarrassing if you touch me like that?”

“Ah!”

At William’s words, Bianca came to her senses, blushed, and stepped back.

“S-So, how did you recover?”

And she hurriedly changed the subject, asking about how he recovered.

“It’s simple, I circulated Demonic Energy to speed up the recovery.”

“…Demonic Energy?”

“Well, you see…”

He explained how he recovered his body for five years.

“…You endured that pain and circulated Demonic Energy to heal your body?”

Bianca covered her mouth, unable to hide her shock.

“It was quite difficult at first, but as I kept doing it, I got used to the pain.”

“Oh my.”

Bianca shook her head as if to say she couldn’t believe him.

“How’s the training going?”

“Not bad, their skills have improved considerably compared to five years ago.”
T h i s w as co p ie d f r om kin g m t l.o r g

“Can you tell me what the average level of the troops is?”

At the question of how far their level had reached.

“Most of them are on the verge of reaching ‘Sword Master’.”

Bianca fell into thought for a moment and then answered about the level of the troops.

“On the verge of ‘Sword Master’… It’s not bad, but it’s a bit lacking.”

Recalling what the Demon Lord-nim said five years ago, they would all need to reach the ‘Sword Master’ level before attempting planetary invasion.

‘I also need to start training again, so I can train them together.’

William resolved to raise the level of the troops to ‘Sword Master’ within the remaining five years.

‘And I need to raise the level of the others, including Bianca, even further.’

Even now, the children’s combat abilities were quite outstanding.

‘Planetary invasion won’t be that easy.’

They needed to raise their level because it would be troublesome to encounter strong opponents in a state where their power was restricted.

“Where are the other kids?”

“They’re training with the troops.”

“Really? Alright. I’ll go take a bath. You go there first.”

Just as William was about to head straight for the bathroom.

“…You’re going too, Oppa?”

Bianca spoke to him with a worried expression.

“Of course I have to go. It’s been a while since I’ve trained.”

“But you’ve just recovered, wouldn’t it be better to rest for a few days?”

“No, I’ve rested enough.”

At William’s firm resolve, Bianca let out a soft sigh.

Based on what she had seen so far, once William made a decision, he never changed his mind.

“…Alright, but don’t push yourself too hard during training, okay?”

“Of course.”

“Phew, I’ll go ahead and wait.”

“Okay, I’ll be there soon.”

After Bianca left, William headed to the bathroom, finished bathing, and then.

“Shall I move my body a bit vigorously for the first time in a while?”

He headed straight for the training ground.

Meanwhile, the Demon Communion members were actively continuing their invasion activities.

Moreover, instead of sticking together for efficient invasion, they divided their areas of operation and acted individually.

Five years passed like this, and the Demon Communion members decided to have a meeting to check on each other’s progress, gathering in the meeting room of a kingdom.

“Please report on the progress of the areas you are in charge of.”

At Venus’s words, Anubis was the first to speak.

“I’ll go first.”

“Yes, please.”

“I’ve invaded one-third of my area.”

“That’s a decent pace.”

“Yes, I’m putting pressure on the uncorrupted higher beings, led by the Demon Servants. I think I’ll be able to invade up to two-thirds soon.”

“That’s good. How many years do you estimate it will take to completely invade everything?”

“I’m expecting about ten years.”
T h i s w a s co p i e d f r o m k in gm t l . o r g

“Alright.”

T hi s w a s c op ie d fr o m k i n g m t l.o r g
Venus nodded with a relieved smile at the better-than-expected progress.

“Who will report next?”

“…I’ll report.”

“Yes, please.”

Next, Elin stepped forward and reported on her progress.

“…I’ve finished invading about two-thirds of my area, and the rest is on the verge of being invaded, so I think it will be over within four years.”

“That’s impressive.”

Venus expressed admiration for Elin’s excellent progress, and Elin smiled faintly.

“Now it’s Rok-nim’s turn.”

After Elin’s report was over, Venus turned her gaze to Rok.

“…Ribbit, ribbit.”

Rok began to look around nervously with an insecure expression.

“I… haven’t even finished invading one-third of my area yet… Ribbit, ribbit.”

He then said that he hadn’t made any significant progress yet.

“Then, how far have you invaded?”

“It’s embarrassing to say… but I’m just about to invade the empire. Ribbit, ribbit.”

His progress was clearly inferior to that of the other Demon Communion members, but.

“That’s excellent. You mean you’re about to invade the empire?”

Th i s w a s co p i ed fr om ki n g m t l . or g
Instead of blaming Rok, Venus praised him, saying he had made excellent progress.

“…Ribbit, ribbit?”

Rok looked at Venus with a bewildered expression, as if he didn’t know he would be acknowledged for his progress.

“The empire that Rok-nim is working on is the most powerful in terms of military and influence. So, the fact that you’re on the verge of invading it in five years is a tremendous achievement.”

Venus kindly explained the reason.

T h i s w a s c op i ed f r om k i n g mt l . o r g
“And once you invade that place, it’s like gaining a tremendous amount of power, so it will be easy to invade other places.”

“Thanks for thinking highly of me. Ribbit, ribbit.”

“It’s the truth.”

After the reports of the three were over.

“Now it’s my turn, isn’t it?”

Venus explained to the Demon Communion members about her own progress.

“I finished invading the area I was in charge of a few days ago.”

And the Demon Communion members, upon hearing Venus’s progress.

“What, already?!”

“…Amazing.”

“You invaded your entire area in five years…? Ribbit, ribbit.”

They stared at Venus in shock.

And the Demon Communion members, looking at Venus, thought of one thing.

She was also quite capable, even though it was overshadowed by Jung Minwoo.

“It was just… good luck.”

Venus smiled awkwardly and attributed it to luck, but.

“What luck, you’re totally capable!”

T h i s wa s cop i e d f ro m k i n g mt l . o r g
Anubis clicked her tongue and said.

“…Capable.”

“Venus, you’re amazing! Ribbit, ribbit.”

Elin and Rok seemed to agree with Anubis, nodding in agreement.

“Now, now, since we know about the progress, shall we plan our next operation?”

Embarrassed by the compliments from the Demon Communion members, Venus hurriedly changed the topic to the next subject.

“Then, after supporting Anubis-nim and Elin-nim’s areas with my troops, when they’re done with the invasion, we’ll head towards Rok-nim’s area. What do you all think?”

“Not bad.”

“…I agree.”

“I agree too. Ribbit, ribbit!”

All the Demon Communion members expressed their agreement with Venus’s proposal.

“Then, let’s end the meeting here.”

After finishing the meeting.

Th i s w a s c o p ie d f r o m king m t l .o r g
“We’ll be heading back now.”

“…See you later.”

“I’ll be waiting for your support. Ribbit, ribbit!”

The Demon Communion members returned to their respective areas.

‘Phew, the invasion is almost over now.’

Left alone in the meeting room, Venus looked at the map of the planet on the wall and smiled contentedly.

‘When we arrived on the planet, I was worried about how to invade it.’

She was quite anxious about invading the planet without Jung Minwoo, but.

‘As expected, Minwoo-nim doesn’t ask for the impossible.’

As she personally experienced corrupting the higher beings, she was now on the verge of invading the planet.

Of course, there were times when she faced adversity during the invasion, but.

‘Thanks to the pigeons that Minwoo-nim sent, I was able to overcome it quickly.’

By utilizing hundreds of pigeons, she was able to easily resolve the situation.

‘At this rate, I think I’ll be able to finish the invasion within ten years, but it’s better to speed it up as much as possible, right?’

Then she would be able to finish the invasion within the estimated time, but that wasn’t enough to satisfy her.

T h i s w a s co pi ed fr o m k i ng m t l. or g
‘I’ll invade faster and be of help to Minwoo-nim.’

He said there were 10,000 target planets, so she would have to move quickly to fill that number.

‘I’ll finish the planetary invasion and return within five years.’

Venus firmly resolved to complete the planetary invasion within a total of ten years.

As another five years passed.

“William, the time has come.”

Jung Minwoo appeared and informed him that the time for planetary invasion had arrived.

“I’ve been waiting for those words.”

William answered with a confident smile.

“You seem very confident?”

“That’s because I’ve prepared thoroughly.”

The reason for his confidence was simple.

The first reason was that William’s strength had increased several times compared to five years ago, and.

The second reason was that his subordinates had reached the ‘Sword Master’ level.

“Really? I look forward to it.”

“You won’t be disappointed.”

Jung Minwoo nodded and then.

“Give the order for the troops to be ready for immediate invasion, and follow me.”

He explained that they would go to the planet ‘Liger’ through the portal in the forest.

“…Just me alone?”

William expressed his doubt about going alone.

“There are some guys I want to introduce you to.”

Jung Minwoo said something meaningful.

‘If you’re going to introduce me to some guys, are they the ones who went out to invade…?’

And William realized that he was trying to introduce him to those who had finished the invasion and returned.

Th i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i ng m t l . o r g
‘I wonder how strong the others are?’

They were all bestowed with Demonic Energy, so they must possess great power.

‘Not only their strength but their intelligence must also be quite outstanding…’

He guessed that they wouldn’t be just brute strength since they were the chosen ones.

William was excited and nervous at the thought of meeting the others.

‘Anyway, I have to show the most outstanding ability there and be recognized by the Demon Lord-nim…!’

After finishing his thoughts, William turned his gaze to Sebastian standing next to him and said.

“Sebastian, can you take care of the invasion preparations for me?”

“Of course.”

Sebastian, who had been asked, patted his chest as if to say leave it to him.

“Now, let’s move to the portal.”

“Alright.”

Afterwards, William followed Jung Minwoo and moved to the planet ‘Liger’.
