The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well

Chapter 88: 20 Years (2)

“The new order is simple. For the next 20 years, strengthen the national power of the Pacon Kingdom so that no one can touch it.”

At Jung Minwoo’s words, Elvis muttered to himself with a serious expression.
T his w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i n gmt l . o r g

“So that no one can touch it…”

Then, nodding his head, he answered energetically.

“Following your command, Demon-nim, I will make it a kingdom that no one can touch.”

Jung Minwoo smiled contentedly at Elvis’s confident eyes and continued speaking.

“Even if you build a vast and strong kingdom, it will inevitably collapse due to the shackles of human lifespan. So, I will allow you to turn 100 humans into Demon Servants every month.”

Roughly, the human lifespan on the ‘Dainik’ planet was 50 years.

If they became Demon Servants here, their lifespan would increase to 500 years, maintaining their physical state at their prime. If Elvis governed well, the national power of the Pacon Kingdom would rise day by day.

‘In 20 years, the entire kingdom will have transformed into a killing machine.’

In fact, he had considered turning everyone into Demon Servants like he did on the ‘Yurain’ planet, but…

‘Humans are creatures that grow through greed and competition.’

Unlike the Yurain planet, there were strong competitors here, so even a small amount of Demonic Energy had to be used wisely.

“I am deeply grateful for your generosity.”

Elvis bowed his head and expressed his gratitude for Jung Minwoo’s consideration.

“I’ll visit once a month, so you can report to me then.”

“I will thoroughly prepare.”

“You’re reliable.”

He said he would visit once a month, but in reality, he planned to observe from the sidelines without revealing himself.

‘He has the talent of Solomon, so I’m sure he’ll do well, but I need to keep an eye on him just in case.’

Since there was a lot at stake in this planetary invasion, it couldn’t be carried out carelessly.

“Then, I’ll see you in a month.”

“Yes, Demon-nim!”

Afterward, Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members walked into the black fog and disappeared.

As they walked out of the royal palace.

“Minwoo-nim.”

Venus, who was walking beside him, called out to him.

“Why?”

“Now that we have some free time, may I ask what you plan to do next?”

Jung Minwoo answered without hesitation.

“I’m going to corrupt the pigeons.”

Elin, who was listening to the conversation, tilted her head and said.

“…Did that 6th Rank pigeon come to the ‘Dainik’ planet?”

“I need to check that.”

If she was on the ‘Dainik’ planet, he would bring her.

“…What if she didn’t come to the planet?”

“Then, we’ll have to find another way to lure the pigeons.”

Corrupting the pigeons was a crucial part of the plan, so he had to succeed no matter what.

‘I hope she comes…’

If Seina had successfully settled on the planet, this operation would become exponentially easier.

‘First, I need to send a hint.’

Jung Minwoo thought of a suitable location and used both Telepathic Message and Debuff simultaneously.

【Come to the monster-infested jungle tomorrow, bringing a 9th Rank pigeon with you.】

He wanted to set a specific time, but that could lead to the unfortunate situation of forcing them to come, so he didn’t.

‘Now, shall we wait patiently?’

Meanwhile, Seina, who received Jung Minwoo’s hint.

“…The monster-infested jungle?”

She tilted her head and muttered the words that suddenly came to mind.

“Are you going to the jungle?”

One of the angels sitting next to her asked.

“…No, I was just muttering to myself.”

Seina waved her hand dismissively at the angel’s question.

‘Ugh, I need to get close to them quickly, but it’s so hard to talk.’

After heading to the ‘Dainik’ planet, Seina miraculously received permission from the 2nd Rank angel to settle there.

It was good that she had settled, but… she was so shy that she hadn’t had a proper conversation with the angels for three weeks.

‘…Sigh, I miss them.’

Seina wore a wistful expression as she recalled the faces of the angels who had died on the ‘Yurain’ planet.

‘No, I can’t be stuck in the past like this!’

Feeling melancholy only for a moment, Seina steeled herself and shook off her thoughts.

‘If I dwell on the past, there will be no further progress.’

Seina gathered her courage and spoke to the angel next to her.

“Ahem, do you know anything about the monster-infested jungle?”

The angel was momentarily surprised, as if she hadn’t expected her to initiate a conversation. Then, she smiled brightly and answered.

“Of course. It’s because of that place that we’re having trouble with the occupation.”

“Having trouble…?”

“There are so many monsters that we haven’t been able to occupy the kingdoms beyond the jungle.”

“Hmm, is that so?”

“So, we tried to target the unoccupied areas, but their national power is so strong that we haven’t been able to do anything.”

The angel continued explaining without pausing, as if she enjoyed talking.

“The kingdoms beyond the jungle are relatively weak, so if we could just occupy them, it would be much easier to occupy the other kingdoms afterward.”

In other words, if they could just take care of the jungle, things would go smoothly.

‘…I must go there.’

Just as she had suddenly remembered the name of the ‘Dainik’ planet in the Celestial Realm, she felt a strong urge to go to the ‘jungle’.

‘…But, I don’t know the geography of this planet very well,’

It had only been three weeks since she arrived, so she needed an angel to guide her to the jungle.

‘Should I ask her a favor?’

As Seina pondered how to ask,

“If you’re going, should I help guide you?”

The angel offered her help, as if she had read her mind.

“A, are you not busy?”

“What’s there to be busy about? We’ve already finished the occupation, so I’m just idle.”

“Then, I’ll ask you a favor.”

“Leave it to me.”

Seina sighed with relief inwardly and said.

Th i s w a s c op ie d fr o m k in gm t l . o r g
“When would be a good time?”
This wa s c o p i e d f ro m kin g mt l . o r g

“I’m fine right now, should we go immediately?”

T hi s wa s copie d f r o m k i n g m tl . or g
Seina fell into thought at the angel’s question.

‘Time-wise, it wouldn’t be bad to go now, but…’

For some reason, she felt like it would be better to go tomorrow than right now.

“Today is a bit… how about tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow?”

“Yes.”

“Is there a particular reason?”

“…Not really. I just have a feeling something good will happen if we go tomorrow.”

The angel tilted her head for a moment, but then.
T hi s w as c op i ed f r o m k i n g mt l . o r g

“Alright, then let’s depart as soon as the sun rises tomorrow.”

She nodded in agreement.

T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i ngm t l.or g
“Thank you.”

“No problem. I was getting stiff from just sitting around anyway.”

“Then, I’ll see you tomorrow morning.”

“Yes, I understand.”

They made a promise to go to the jungle tomorrow and returned to their respective lodgings.

The next day.

Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members were in the jungle from dawn.

“Minwoo, do you think the pigeon will come? Ribbit, ribbit.”

To Rok’s question, Jung Minwoo shrugged and answered.

“I hope so.”

This operation depended on Seina’s actions, so it was somewhat reliant on luck.

“If she doesn’t come, we’ll just have to be satisfied with having observed the terrain.”

“Well, we don’t have anything to lose if she doesn’t come. Ribbit, ribbit.”

As Rok said, there was nothing to lose in this operation.

If she didn’t come, they could just come up with another plan to lure the pigeons.

‘But it would be better if she came.’

They waited for about two hours.

“…There she is.”

In the distance, they spotted two figures flapping their wings in the sky.

‘Looks like the hint worked.’

Jung Minwoo smiled with satisfaction at how smoothly things were going.

“Everyone, get ready.”

He gave the order to the Demon Communion members.

“We’ve been ready for a while now.”

“Is there anything to prepare for? It feels like one punch would knock them out.”

“…Ready.”

“I’ve always been ready. Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Demon Communion members stood up from their positions, each grasping their weapons.

“Remember, you can’t injure them. We need to brainwash them and send them back.”
T hi s w as co p i e d fr o m k in gm t l .o r g

If they were injured, the other angels might interrogate them, so they had to be careful.

‘Now, shall we lure them this way?’

Jung Minwoo cast a hint towards Seina.

【Fly towards the 3 o’clock direction.】

The pigeons, who were flying in the 12 o’clock direction, changed their course towards 3 o’clock.

【Land there.】

He then gave the hint to land.

Flap—

They immediately descended into the jungle.

‘Perfect.’

Jung Minwoo gestured to the Demon Communion members to move and headed towards the spot where the pigeons had landed.

Thud, thud, thud—

After walking for about 10 minutes, they spotted the pigeons in the distance.

‘It would be troublesome if they noticed us and ran away.’

Before approaching the 9th Rank angel, Jung Minwoo lifted the ‘Oblivion’ Debuff he had cast on Seina and gave her an order.

【Seize the angel in front of you!】

Upon receiving the order, Seina.

“…Huh?”

Her eyes glazed over, and her wings began to turn black.

“S, Seina-nim?!”

The startled angel tried to back away, but.

Grab—

Seina, as commanded, embraced the angel tightly, preventing her from escaping.

“Now.”

He then gave the order to the Demon Communion members.
T h i s w as c o p i ed f r o m ki ngm t l .or g

Whoosh—

T h i s wa s co p i e d f r o m k i ng mt l . o r g
They dashed towards the pigeons at high speed.

“Haa!”

Venus swung her whip, binding the pigeon’s body.

“You’d better stay still.”

Anubis pointed her greatsword at the pigeon’s neck.

“Don’t even think about moving.”

Elin used the earth to immobilize the pigeon’s legs.

“Ribbit, ribbit!”

Finally, Rok stuck out his tongue and blocked the pigeon’s mouth to prevent her from screaming.

“Mm, mmmph?”

The pigeon’s eyes darted wildly as she saw Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members.

“I’ll finish this quickly, so please don’t resist.”

As Jung Minwoo approached the pigeon, thinking about copying her unique trait.

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

1. No. 2

2. No. 555

3. No. 777

4. No. 888

5. Venus

6. Lucifer

A message window appeared before his eyes.

‘I’ll copy Venus’s unique trait.’

【Copying Venus’s unique trait ‘Charm’.】

Thi s w as co p i ed fr o m k i n g m t l . o r g
After finishing the copying, Jung Minwoo used the unique trait on the pigeon before him.

“Submit to me.”

“Mm, uh…!”

The pigeon’s eyes, which had been filled with anger, became cloudy and unfocused.

“…”

Then her expression changed to a dazed one, and soon she was looking at Jung Minwoo with an affectionate gaze.

‘It feels weird to receive such a look from a man.’

He felt a sense of aversion at the sight of her affectionate expression, but.

‘It’s better to finish this quickly instead of thinking about such things.’

Jung Minwoo cleared his mind and took out a parchment from his pocket.

“You said you’d submit, so let’s sign the contract.”

As he finished writing the contract.

“Uh, mm…?”

Just like Seina, the pigeon’s wings began to turn black.

‘Even after occupying 9/10ths of the planet, they’re still just a 9th Rank.’

No matter how much Holy Power they had, they couldn’t surpass a 4th Rank demon.

‘I’ve lured one pigeon, so it should be smooth sailing from now on.’

He could gradually corrupt the other pigeons using this one.

‘Now, shall I erase their memories with Oblivion and send them back?’

Jung Minwoo then cast a Debuff on Seina and the pigeon, erasing their memories, and sent them back the way they came.
