The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well

Chapter 161: The Seven Demon Generals (1)

Twenty years later.

“””We pledge our loyalty! We have returned from the invasion.”””

The existing leaders returned to ‘Liger’ planet after completing their invasion.

“Good work.”

Jung Minwoo accepted the salute from the leaders, unable to hide his surprise.

‘They finished the entire invasion in 20 years…?’

He had thought it would take at least 50 years, but unexpectedly, the invasion ended far too quickly.

‘Did I underestimate our abilities too much?’

Jung Minwoo realized that the potential inherent in the leaders was far greater than he had imagined, drastically revising his evaluation.

“How was it? Invading 25 planets. Manageable?”

When he asked how the planetary invasion went this time,

“It was too easy this time as well.”

Elvis stepped forward and answered on behalf of the others.

‘I thought it might be a bit challenging for them, but they’re amazing.’

The other leaders also seemed to agree that it was truly easy.

“That’s a relief. I was planning to increase the number of planets to 1,000 this time, but it seems like we can proceed as planned.”

T h is w a s co p ie d fr o m k i n g m t l .or g
At Jung Minwoo’s words, the leaders’ faces momentarily darkened, but

“1,000 planets… what an inspiring number.”

“I’m looking forward to it.”

“No matter how many planets, we’ll conquer them flawlessly.”

“Let’s do our best!”

T h i s w a s co p i e d f ro m k i n g m t l . o rg
They quickly regained their composure and answered energetically.

“Remember, we’ll start the meeting in 10 years, along with the rewards we promised before.”

He would have liked to hand out the invasion list and hold the meeting right away tomorrow, but

‘I haven’t finished writing the planetary list yet.’

Unfortunately, he hadn’t prepared 1,000 planets yet, so he needed time.

“Also, there are some Demon Servants I’d like to introduce you to in 10 years.”

He then informed them that he had recruited new leaders.

“Demon Servants… to introduce us to?”

Elvis asked with a puzzled look.

“Yes, there are three Demon Servants I’ll introduce, and they’ll be participating in the invasion activities.”

He kindly answered the question.

“””Three…”””

The leaders’ faces became guarded at the news of new competitors.

“When you meet them in 10 years, welcome them.”

“””…Understood.”””

When he ordered them to take good care of the newcomers, the leaders reluctantly nodded.

Seeing their blatant displeasure,

‘Cute.’
T hi s w a s c o p i e d fr om k i n g m tl. o r g

Jung Minwoo chuckled inwardly.

‘They’re worried about their positions being threatened.’

Currently, the four-leader system was already fiercely competitive, so it was natural for them to be concerned about switching to a seven-leader system.

‘Competing with more leaders will help them grow faster.’

He believed without a doubt that the feelings of anxiety and competitiveness would serve as fuel for growth, pushing the leaders to greater heights.

‘Still, I should ease their worries a little.’

Excessive anxiety could hinder their growth, so it was necessary to reassure them.

“From now on, we’ll operate with a seven-leader system. Be aware of that.”

When he said he wouldn’t add any more leaders,

“””Understood.”””

The leaders responded with relieved expressions.

‘Well, I’ve told them everything. Should I take my leave now?’
Th i s w a s co p i e d fr om k i n g mt l . o r g

He decided to leave as his continued presence would make it difficult for the leaders to relax.

“Everyone, rest well. I’ll see you in 10 years.”

“””Please go ahead.”””

Jung Minwoo bid farewell to the leaders and left.

After Jung Minwoo left,

“””…”””

The leaders remaining in the meeting room began to observe each other.

“What do you all think about what the Demon Lord said?”

Elvis was the first to speak, looking at the other leaders.

“More people to serve the master is good overall, but I don’t think it’s good from a personal standpoint.”

“From a personal perspective, I’m not happy about it.”

“I agree. The thought of competing with others already makes me feel uneasy.”

World Tree, Gob, and William expressed their thoughts.

“I share the same sentiment.”

Elvis nodded, agreeing with the leaders’ concerns.

“That’s why I have a proposition.”

He then added that he had something to propose.

“What is it?”

“A proposition?”

“I’m curious to hear it.”

When the leaders expressed interest in his proposal,

“We should train for 10 years by conducting mock battles with each other’s forces.”

Elvis stated the content of his proposal.

“By pitting our forces against each other and identifying areas for improvement, we can achieve significant growth.”

He explained why they should train together.

“Do you really think we can achieve significant growth in just 10 years?”

World Tree voiced her doubts upon hearing the proposal.

“I believe it’s possible. 10 years isn’t a long time, but it isn’t a short time either.”

Elvis expressed strong confidence.

“Could you give us some time to think about it?”

“I’ll think about it too.”

“I’ll consider it and give you an answer.”

Elvis readily nodded when the leaders asked for time to consider.

After about an hour,

“After thinking about it, I don’t think it’s a bad idea. It’ll help us identify weaknesses in our forces and devise strategies for future invasions.”

World Tree expressed her willingness to accept the proposal.

“I’m in favor as well. Strengthening our forces is crucial, especially since we don’t know what kind of forces the new leaders possess.”

Gob followed, expressing his agreement.

“This is a great opportunity for me. I’ll accept.”
T h i s w as co pi e d f ro m k i n g m t l. o r g

Finally, with William agreeing, everyone accepted the proposal.

“I’m glad we’re all on the same page.”

The leaders then discussed how to conduct the mock battles and decided to start training the next day, returning to their respective quarters.

⊱ ஓ๑๑ஓ ⊰

A few days later, Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members were busy preparing for their sparring session.

“How’s everyone’s condition?”

Jung Minwoo asked about their condition while lightly stretching.

“Perfect.”

“Great.”

“…Very good.”

“Absolutely perfect! Ribbit, ribbit!”

The Demon Communion members answered that there were no problems, their faces bright.

Recently, the Demon Communion members had rarely looked happy, but

‘They seem to be in a good mood now that their ranks have increased.’

Today, they had all reached the 3rd Rank through ‘Rank Pass Tickets’, which seemed to brighten their spirits.

‘That must be why they suggested sparring first.’

Usually, the Demon Communion members, except for Anubis, were reluctant to spar with him, but after their rank increase, they had been the ones to suggest it.

‘I wonder how much they’ve improved. I’m excited to find out.’

The difference between ranks was significant, so they were bound to be incomparably stronger than before.

‘It should be okay to spar at full strength now, right?’

He had been holding back before, considering their workload the next day, but now that they were all 3rd Rank, he felt it would be fine to give it his all.

“I’m ready. Is everyone else?”

After finishing his warm-up, he asked the Demon Communion members if they were ready.
Th i s w a s c o p ied f r o m k i n g m t l .or g

“Yes, we can start.”

“Let’s get started.”

“…Come at me.”

“We were ready ages ago! Ribbit, ribbit!”

They all adjusted their stances, indicating they were prepared to spar.

“Alright, let’s begin.”

With the announcement of the sparring session’s start,

Fwoosh!

The Demon Communion members simultaneously charged towards him.

‘They’re impatient, aren’t they?’

Jung Minwoo chuckled to himself and activated ‘Brain Eye’.

Thump!

His head felt clear, and the world began to slow down.

Then, as he thought about copying a unique trait,

【Which demon’s unique trait would you like to copy?】

1. Rok

2. 555

3. Anubis

4. Elin

5. Venus

6. Lucifer

A message window appeared before him.

‘I’ll copy Lucifer’s unique trait, number 6.’

As he copied Lucifer’s unique trait,

【Copying Lucifer’s unique trait ‘Pride’】

A message appeared indicating the unique trait was being copied, and then

Thump!
T h i s wa s c o pi e d fr o m k in g m t l . o rg

An indescribable power surged through his body.

Normally, he would have ended the copying process here and engaged in combat, but

‘It would be a shame to stop here. I’ll copy Rok’s unique trait, number 1.’

【Copying Rok’s unique trait ‘Ultimate Evolution’】

He didn’t stop there and copied Rok’s unique trait as well.

Just a few days ago, copying two unique traits was impossible, but

‘Now it’s possible.’

As the number of invaded planets exceeded 100, he had an abundance of demonic energy, allowing him to copy more unique traits.

‘Now, let’s adjust the settings.’

After consuming all his demonic energy, he finished setting his evolution to ‘Battle Mode’ and deactivated ‘Brain Eye’.

【Only 58% of the abilities of Form 1 ‘Battle Mode’ can be used】

【Evolving into ‘Battle Mode’】

As a message window appeared, demonic energy enveloped his body.

“Ugh?!”

“What, did you use your unique trait already?”

“…Everyone, get back.”

“Minwoo, that’s not fair! Ribbit, ribbit!”

The Demon Communion members frowned at the powerful demonic energy and reluctantly backed away.

“Everyone, attack from a distance!”

“We have to take him down while he’s vulnerable!”

“…Now’s our chance.”

“Minwoo, I won’t let you get away with this! Ribbit, ribbit!”

Realizing that if they didn’t attack now, they had no chance of winning the spar, the Demon Communion members unleashed their attacks on Jung Minwoo from a safe distance.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boooooooooooom!

The explosions were powerful enough to rupture an ordinary higher being’s eardrums and kill them.

However, despite the tremendous destructive force, they failed to penetrate the demonic energy surrounding Jung Minwoo.

“H-How is he not even getting scratched?”
Th is wa s c op ie d f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g

Venus stopped whipping her weapon and expressed her astonishment.

“The reason is simple.”

A sticky voice, as if it had swallowed the abyss, emerged from within the demonic energy.

Fwoosh!

The demonic energy dissipated, and then

“It’s because you made the wrong judgment call.”

He revealed himself, explaining why their attacks hadn’t worked.

“The wrong judgment call…?”

Venus tilted her head and asked.
T h i s wa s c o pi e d fr o m ki ng m t l .or g

“Instead of showering me with attacks, you should have focused your power on a single point and pierced through.”

Jung Minwoo explained how they should have attacked.

“Focus on a single point and pierce through…”

Venus repeated his words, pondering them, and then

“Indeed, if we had chosen that approach, we might have been able to penetrate your demonic energy.”

Th i s w as c o p ie d f rom ki n g mt l . o r g
She readily admitted that they had made the wrong judgment call.

“Then, let’s attack again, everyone!”

Venus declared, determined to redeem herself as she mustered her demonic energy.

“Alright, this time we’ll definitely wound him!”

“…Focusing on a single point? Got it.”

“Let’s give it a shot! Ribbit, ribbit!”

Anubis, Elin, and Rok responded, also gathering their demonic energy.

Just as they were preparing to attack again, having accepted his feedback,

“Which enemy would ever wait for an attack? This time, you try blocking my attack.”

Jung Minwoo chuckled and gathered demonic energy in his right hand.

“Everyone, run!”

“Scatter!”

“…Where should I run?”

“Ribbit, ribbit…?!”

The Demon Communion members panicked, trying to flee, but

“No, this time you should have chosen to gather in one place and defend against the attack.”

Jung Minwoo gave them a brief feedback and unleashed his demonic energy.

Booooooooooooom!!!

The Demon Communion members were directly hit by the demonic energy, unable to offer any resistance, and fainted, ending the spar abruptly.
