The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 102

Chapter 102: Invasion of Dainik Planet (4)

At the time when the Pacon Imperial Army was launching its invasion.

“The sounds of weapons clashing are rampant.”

Elvis was positioned near the jungle, accompanied by Arnold.

“Judging by the troops, it seems they intend to wipe out all the monsters this time.”

Elvis nodded at Arnold’s words.

“That’s right. If we eliminate all the monsters in this opportunity, the dangerous elements will disappear.”

“With 100 million troops deployed, there’s no better chance to exterminate the monsters.”

“Indeed. If this continues, extermination won’t be difficult. As long as no interference arises.”

Elvis gave a meaningful smile and glanced at the enemy troops in the distance.

“May I ask what you plan to do?”

At Arnold’s question, Elvis shrugged as if it were nothing special.

“If this goes on, we can’t inflict significant damage. I’ll have to step in and take care of it myself.”

“You mean…”

“Yes, I’m thinking of reducing their numbers using my power.”

Upon hearing Elvis’s plan, Arnold agreed.

“Certainly, there’s no better opportunity to reduce their numbers when they’re this vulnerable.”

“If I use my power this time, I won’t be able to move for a few days and I won’t be able to handle demonic energy for 30 years. So, you’ll have to protect me during that time.”

“Even at the cost of my life, I will not allow the enemy to lay a finger on Your Majesty.”

“That’s reassuring.”

Finishing their conversation, Elvis closed his eyes and stretched his arms towards the sky.

“Now, it’s time to hunt the insects.”

And as he unleashed his demonic energy.
T h i s w a s c op ie d f r o m k in g m tl .or g

Rumble, rumble―

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and darkness descended upon the land.

“…What’s happening?”

“Dark clouds?”

“This energy…?”

The knights and mages who were hunting monsters frowned at the unusual atmosphere and looked up at the sky.

“…Stop the hunt and retreat!”

“Return to the base immediately!”

“Mages, deploy protective barriers.”

Discovering black lightning flickering amidst the dark clouds, they immediately ordered a retreat.

“Too late.”

Elvis smirked and lowered his outstretched hand.

Boom――――!!!

Countless black lightning bolts began to rain down from the dark clouds.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang―!!!

And those black lightning bolts struck the enemy troops accurately, avoiding the monsters.

“Gah?!”

“Uwaaagh!!”

“Wh-What?”

“Ca-Calamity!!”

The enemy troops struck by black lightning were burned black, turning into cold corpses.

“Over there.”

“The enemy is there!”

The Sword Masters and 8th Class mages resisted the black lightning and deduced Elvis’s location.

“Kill the enemy there!”

“Move now!”

They tried to move directly towards Elvis, but.

“Not so fast.”

Elvis, as if to prevent them from approaching, focused the black lightning towards them.

“Ugh?!”

“Damn it, what power is this?”

The Sword Masters and 8th Class mages frowned, desperately dodging the black lightning.

“You’re good at dodging. In that case, it’ll be faster to deal with you directly.”

As Elvis drew upon his demonic energy once more.

Boom――――!!!

Black lightning struck where Elvis stood, raising a cloud of dust.

“Your Majesty!”

Arnold panicked and tried to reach Elvis, but.

“Don’t worry.”

A black hand emerged from the dust cloud, blocking Arnold’s approach.

“…Your Majesty?”

Arnold, seeing the black hand, cautiously called out to Elvis with a voice mixed with doubt.

Thud, thud, thud.

“Refreshing.”

Elvis, enveloped in black lightning, walked out of the dust cloud with a bright smile.

Crackle―

“…Ah!”

Arnold let out a gasp of awe at the overwhelming power emanating from Elvis.

“The duration is about 5 minutes? Very short. I need to finish this quickly.”

Elvis looked over his body and clicked his tongue in disappointment.

“Well, it wouldn’t make sense to be able to use this power indefinitely. I’ll be back after a quick hunt.”

Flash―

With a powerful spark, he vanished from his spot in an instant.

“…What.”

Arnold, seeing the figure disappear, widened his eyes, unable to hide his bewilderment.

“…How can his movements be this fast?”

T h i s w a s cop ied fro m k i n g m tl.o r g
It was understandable because even he, who had reached a high level, couldn’t properly track Elvis’s movements, which were incredibly fast.

“Is this the kind of power one can wield with the grace of the Demon Lord…?”

Arnold exclaimed in admiration and followed in the direction Elvis had disappeared.

He found Elvis engaged in combat against the Sword Masters and 8th Class mages.

“Is this all you can muster?”

Elvis waved his hand.

Crackle―

“U-Uwaaagh!!!”

A Sword Master’s hand was severed with ease.

“Mo-Monster!”

Another Sword Master glared at Elvis with a horrified expression.

“Monster… That’s not the right term.”

Elvis shook his head and moved in front of the Sword Master in an instant.

“Da-Damn it!”

The Sword Master tried to swing his aura-infused sword, but.

Swoosh―Thud!

Unfortunately, his head and body were separated, preventing him from continuing his attack and killing him instantly.

“H-Hieeek!”

The 8th Class mage tried to flee with a terrified expression, but.

“Where do you think you’re going?”
T h is w a s co p i ed f r om k i n g mt l . o rg

Thump―

As Elvis lightly stomped his foot on the ground.

Crackle―

Black lightning erupted from the floor, burning the mage’s body.

“If you try to attack me, you have to pay the price.”

Then, Elvis stretched out both arms.

Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack―!

The heads of the enemies began to explode due to the black lightning.

After dealing with all the approaching enemies.

“About 1 minute left.”

There was still 1 minute remaining.

“I’ll clean up the rest of the insects during the remaining time.”

Elvis reached out his hand towards the fleeing soldiers.

Kaboom――――――――!!!

A massive black lightning bolt struck where the soldiers were.

“Clean.”

Checking the spot where the black lightning had struck, there were no enemy corpses, only charred ground.

“…Huh.”

Arnold, witnessing the scene, couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.

“Killing 10 million in one go…?”

It was unbelievable, even with his own eyes, that 10 million people had died with a single gesture from the Emperor.

‘Even if he can’t use demonic energy for 30 years, this is too much…?’

Arnold felt genuinely grateful for following Elvis, witnessing his extraordinary power.

“10 million is still not enough.”

However, Elvis seemed dissatisfied, clicking his tongue and extending his hand once more.

Kaboom――――――――!!!

Kaboom――――――――!!!

Kaboom――――――――!!!

Kaboom――――――――!!!

Kaboom――――――――!!!

After striking the ground with massive black lightning about 5 times.

“…Ugh!”
T h is w a s c o p ie d f r o m ki n gmt l . o r g

The black lightning that had enveloped Elvis’s body dispersed and vanished.

“…The aftereffects are intense.”

T h i s w a s c o pi ed fr o m k i n gmt l. or g
He then grabbed his head and lost his balance.

Just as he was about to fall backward.

Thud―

Arnold caught Elvis’s body, preventing him from falling.

“Are you alright?”

“…No, it’s hard to move.”

Elvis answered Arnold’s question with a bitter smile.

“I’ll support you.”

“Yes, let’s return to the Imperial Palace. I need some rest.”

“As you wish.”

Afterward, Elvis, having eliminated 60 million troops, returned to the Imperial Palace with Arnold’s support.

The remaining 40 million troops, terrified, fled and only managed to return to the kingdom after losing another 10 million soldiers to monsters.

Meanwhile, the Pacon Imperial Army that had infiltrated the castle.

“Kill them all!!!”

Under Nicholas’s command, they were diligently carrying out the massacre.

However, the Allied Forces seemed unwilling to surrender easily, putting up fierce resistance.

“W-We won’t die like this!!”

A low-ranking knight charged towards an Imperial Army soldier, but.

“What?”

The soldier sneered and thrust his spear, piercing the low-ranking knight’s neck.

“Gah?”

T hi s wa s co p i e d f r o m k i n g m t l .o r g
The low-ranking knight looked incredulous, unable to believe he had been defeated by a mere soldier.

“Why? Can’t believe you were easily killed by a soldier like me?”

Seeing his expression, the soldier leaned in and mocked him.

“Want to know why? It’s simple. It’s because of the stark difference in level between the Pacon Empire and other kingdoms.”

Swoosh―Thud!

The soldier, after kindly explaining the reason, pulled out his spear and retrieved it.

And this pattern was repeating in other places as well.

“Archers, fire at the enemy.”

“””Yes!!!”””

At Nicholas’s command, the archers infused their arrows with mana and fired them towards the enemy.

“””Block them!!!”””

The soldiers tried to block the arrows with their shields, but.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh―whoosh!

The arrows changed direction.

Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud―thud!

Passing the shields, they pierced the soldiers’ eyes.

“Mages, spare no mana and unleash your magic!”

“””Yes!”””

At Nicholas’s command, the mages began to kill the soldiers with their respective magic.

T h i s w a s c opi e d fr om ki ng m t l . o r g
“F-Fight!”

“Why-Why are they so strong…?!”

“S-Save me!”

T h i s w a s c o p i ed f rom k in g m tl . o r g
“U-Uwaaagh!”

Intimidated by the overwhelming power of the Imperial Army, the soldiers began to desert one by one.

If there had been a commander, they might have rallied the troops, but unfortunately, the commander had been burned to death by a fireball, leaving no one to control them.

“Show them your power.”

Nicholas gave his final order to the Sword Masters and 8th Class mages, asking them to use their full strength.

“We’ll take care of it quickly.”

“It’s not a difficult task.”

“Let’s see what level the enemy knights are at.”

“I doubt they can satisfy me.”

The Sword Masters and 8th Class mages readily accepted Nicholas’s order and joined the battle.

About an hour later.

“All enemies except one have been eliminated!”

A soldier reported to Nicholas that the invasion had been successfully completed.

“Who is the survivor?”

“It’s the king of the invaded kingdom.”

Surprised by the unexpected survivor, Nicholas’s eyes gleamed.

“Oh, how convenient. The king, the highest authority, has survived.”

“Shall we eliminate him?”

Nicholas shook his head at the soldier’s question.

“No, a king deserves to be killed with proper respect. I’ll kill him myself. Lead me to the king.”

“Understood!”
T h is w a s co pi e d fr o m k i n g mt l. org

Guided by the soldier, they moved to the throne room.

“…”

They found the king sitting on the throne, his arms and legs severed.

“It’s not something to say after the invasion is over, but it’s a shame your kingdom had to meet its demise because you didn’t submit to the Empire.”

Nicholas looked at the king with a pitiful gaze, genuinely feeling sorry for him.

“…Why are you doing this?”

The king, instead of showing hostility towards the enemy who had destroyed his kingdom, asked Nicholas a question with a trembling voice.

“Why am I doing this…?”

“…I’m asking why you started this terrible war in a peaceful world.”

At the king’s question, Nicholas stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.

“How can a foolish human like you comprehend the profound will of the Demon Lord?”

He then answered with a bright smile.

“…Isn’t following without even knowing the will just being a puppet?”

“Puppet… That’s not an incorrect expression.”

“Is it necessary to sacrifice your life to live as a puppet? Repent your sins now and withdraw your troops…”

Nicholas interrupted the king’s persuasion.

“No. We will continue to invade nations according to the Demon Lord’s will.”

“…Why?”

“Because it’s what we chose.”

The king’s eyes twitched at Nicholas’s words.

“In other words, we are willingly choosing to be puppets because we agree with the Demon Lord’s ideology.”

“Wh-What…”

The king couldn’t give any answer and wore a dejected expression.

“Then, for the glory of the Pacon Empire, please die.”

Slice―Thud!

Nicholas, believing he had shown enough respect, beheaded the king without hesitation.

“This should be enough to prove my competence, right?”

Nicholas wiped the blood off his sword and smiled in satisfaction.
