The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 104

Chapter 104: The End of the Bet (1)

A month after the great army of Hobgoblins and Orcs began their march.

The surrounding nations crumbled helplessly, unable to offer any significant resistance.

They had requested military support from other countries.

Unfortunately, due to the Pacon Empire’s invasion, the other nations were also struggling and couldn’t spare any troops.

As another month passed.

The Pacon Empire was nearing the end of its conquest, having invaded nine-tenths of the land.

“There’s no hope now.”

Aroma, who had been observing the situation, realized it was difficult to turn the tide and decided to kill Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members.

“If the remaining one-tenth of the nations falls, it’s truly over.”

If the Pacon Empire completed its invasion, the influence that allowed him to use Holy Power would decrease exponentially, so he needed to act quickly.

“Are you ready?”

Aroma asked, glancing back.

“We’re fully prepared.”

Seina, accompanied by 1,000 angels, responded with a determined expression.

“What’s the plan?”

At Aroma’s following question, Seina briefly outlined the plan.

“We’ve been coordinating for two months, analyzing Jung Minwoo and the other demons’ weaknesses to strike and kill them in one blow.”

T h i s w as c op i ed f r o m k i ngm t l. o r g
“Weaknesses? How did you figure them out?”

“That’s…”

Just as Seina was about to explain how they identified the weaknesses.

“I figured them out.”

Katra interjected, tapping his finger on his head.

“You?”

“Yeah, I’m pretty good at using my brain.”

“Is it possible to identify their weaknesses without even facing them directly?”

Aroma questioned, and Katra replied as if it were nothing.

“Remember the documents I showed you?”

“I do.”

“I analyzed the Unique Traits listed there, ran combat simulations in my head, and deduced potential weaknesses.”

“Is it reliable?”

Aroma looked at Katra with suspicion, but.

“It made sense.”
T h i s wa s c o p i e d f ro m k i n gm t l .o r g

Seina stepped in, assuring him not to worry.

“It made sense?”

“Yes, it had a high degree of credibility since we referenced the combat styles described in the documents. Furthermore, there was no harm in trying a plan that exploited their weaknesses, so we accepted Katra’s suggestion.”

“Well, if you say so, it must be true.”

Although he had only known Seina for a few decades, he knew she wasn’t someone who took things lightly, so he decided not to pry further.

“Shall we go fight then?”

Aroma nodded and pulled his weapon out of subspace.

“It’s been a while since I’ve used this.”

A golden spear gleaming brightly.

“Let’s test our synergy after all this time, partner.”

Aroma gently stroked the spear, wearing a confident smile.

“Are you that attached to your spear?”

Katra, who was watching from the side, teased him, but.

“Of course, it’s the partner that helped me climb to where I am today.”

Aroma continued to caress the spear, seemingly oblivious to Katra’s teasing.

“…Really?”

Katra awkwardly nodded and stepped back, taken aback by the unexpected reaction.

“Let’s go eliminate those bats.”

After caressing the spear for a while, Aroma finally looked at Seina and the pigeons, speaking.

“I’ve been waiting for you to say that.”

Seina said with a tired expression, hoisting her mace onto her shoulder.

“Follow me.”

Flap―

Aroma soared high into the sky, heading towards the Pacon Empire.

Flap, flap, flap, flap, flap, flap, flap, flap, flap, flap, flap, flap―!

Seina and the 1,000 angels followed Aroma, flapping their wings.

“I wonder how it’ll turn out.”

Meanwhile, Katra watched the angels depart with an excited expression.

“I hope the pigeons win, if possible.”

Katra couldn’t participate in the war, so all he could do was cheer them on inwardly.

“Tsk, if Jung Minwoo’s side wins, I’ll get chewed out by the old man.”

The thought of being scolded already made his ears itch.

“Still, this isn’t the only chance. I can always get them back later in the Demon World.”

The situation wasn’t ideal, and he couldn’t punish his cocky junior, but there would be plenty of opportunities later, so he decided to be patient.
T h i s w a s c o p ied f r om k i n g m t l.o rg

“Shall I find a good spot to watch the fight?”

Katra needed to observe their fighting style firsthand to figure out how to deal with them later, so he planned to watch the battle in hiding.

Afterwards, Katra flapped his wings and set off to find a suitable viewing location.

Meanwhile, Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members were positioned in a charred forest.

“They should be arriving soon.”

The reason for choosing the forest was simple.

They had been waiting for the angels in the forest for days because they believed it would be more advantageous to fight in an open area without any obstacles than within the empire.

“Ah, seriously. When are they coming?”

Anubis, seemingly tired of waiting, swung her greatsword to relieve her boredom.

“If we wait, they’ll come soon.”

At Venus’s words, Anubis pouted and said.

“I think it would be better to go find them and start the fight.”

It didn’t seem like a bad idea to strike first, but.

T h i s was cop i e d fr o m k in g m t l. o r g
“It’s risky to go there without knowing what kind of trap they’ve set. They’re the ones in a hurry, so they’ll come to us eventually.”

It was better to wait safely in the forest since they didn’t know what tricks the angels might pull.

“Tsk, fine, there’s no other choice.”

Anubis accepted Jung Minwoo’s explanation and lay down on the ground.

“Anubis, what are you doing? Ribbit, ribbit.”

Rok tilted his head, curious about Anubis’s actions.

“I’m going to take a nap while we wait.”

Anubis closed her eyes, announcing her intention to nap.

“Huh? You don’t need to sleep anymore, do you? Ribbit, ribbit.”

“There’s nothing better than sleep to kill time.”

Taking a nap in a situation where they could be attacked at any moment was quite dangerous, but.

‘It’s better to let her nap.’

Jung Minwoo decided to leave Anubis alone, as it was better than listening to her whine about wanting to fight all day.

After looking away from Anubis and gazing at the sky for about 20 minutes.

“They’re here.”

Flap―

He spotted 1,000 pigeons with pure white wings flapping, flying towards them.

“They’re finally here?!”

Anubis, as if she hadn’t been napping at all, stood next to Jung Minwoo, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the sky.

“Everyone, prepare for battle.”

At Jung Minwoo’s words, the Demon Communion members drew their weapons and went on high alert.

‘Is the one at the front the 2nd Rank pigeon?’

Seeing the extraordinary Holy Power emanating from the one leading the group, Jung Minwoo was certain that this was the 2nd Rank pigeon.

‘Let’s see what kind of Unique Trait he has.’

Jung Minwoo used ‘Heaven’s Eye’ on the pigeon at the front.

【Retrieving information on ‘Aroma’】

Heaven’s Eye activated, and a new information window appeared.

『Information Window』

〈Basic Information〉

Name: Aroma

Gender: Male

Age: 4,500 years old

〈Detailed Information〉

Rank: 2nd Rank

Alignment: Good

Unique Trait: Battle Sense

Current Emotion: Anger

Thi s w a s c o p i e d fr o m ki n g m tl . o rg
‘Aroma…? What a name, like some kind of oil.’ Jung Minwoo chuckled inwardly at the name.

As he continued to examine the information window.

‘Battle Sense?’

The Unique Trait caught his eye.

‘Let’s check what kind of effect it has.’

Jung Minwoo pressed on the Unique Trait to confirm its effect.

【Battle Sense(戰鬪感覺)】

Upon entering combat, the user can see the trajectory of attacks from those recognized as enemies and the optimal path to kill them.

‘True to its name, it’s completely specialized for combat.’

Jung Minwoo thought that the battle might be more challenging than expected and closed the information window.

Flap―

“Are you Jung Minwoo?”

Aroma, having approached within close range, looked at Jung Minwoo and questioned his identity.

“What if I am?”

Instead of answering, Jung Minwoo countered with a question.

And he used both ‘Demon Eye’ and ‘Mind’s Eye’ on Aroma.

【The death of Jung Minwoo and the other demons】

Words combined above Aroma’s head, revealing his blatant desire.

【Should I tear them apart? Or should I…】

He could also see that Aroma’s inner thoughts were filled with the intention to kill him.

‘Well, I can clearly see what he’s thinking from his expression, even without using Demon Eye and Mind’s Eye.’

Jung Minwoo revised his assessment of Aroma.

‘Judging by his lack of intelligence, it’s highly likely he reached 2nd Rank solely through brute force.’

A pigeon with low intelligence but exceptional strength.

‘I need to be more careful when fighting him.’

As he finished his evaluation of Aroma.

“Are you messing with me?”

Aroma landed on the ground, his expression contorted.

“Messing with you? I was genuinely curious what you would do if I told you who I am.”

Jung Minwoo provoked Aroma, feigning innocence.
T h is wa s c o p i e d f ro m k i n g mt l .o r g

“Forget it. You’re the only demons here anyway.”

Aroma growled, swinging his spear wildly.

“Are you ready to die?”

He regained his composure and suddenly sneered.

Jung Minwoo shrugged in response to Aroma’s words.

“Ready to die? Shouldn’t that be you?”

“Like a true bat bastard, all talk.”

“And you, are you a pigeon with no learning ability?”

“…What?”

“You keep trying to talk tough, even though you know you’ll lose. Is it because you have a low learning ability?”

“…”
Th is w a s co pie d f r o m ki n g mt l.o r g

Aroma couldn’t find a retort to Jung Minwoo’s words and shut his mouth.

“Why are you silent? Ah, did you finally realize you have a low learning ability?”

At Jung Minwoo’s continued provocation, Aroma’s face twisted in anger as he shouted.

“Surround them!!!”

Pat, pat, pat, papat―!

At Aroma’s command, the angels swiftly moved to surround Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members.

“I wonder if a 4th Rank bat can handle this many?”

Just as he was wearing a triumphant expression.

Thud, thud, thud.

“Aroma-nim, complacency is dangerous.”

Seina approached from behind and warned Aroma.

“Tsk, I know, just focus on supporting me.”

Although Aroma ignored her advice, he obediently nodded, given the circumstances.

“Now, shall we begin the bat hunt?”

Just as he was about to give the order to attack Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members.

“Pfft! Puhahahaha!!”

Suddenly, Jung Minwoo burst into laughter, clutching his stomach.

“…Are you losing your mind?”

Aroma looked dumbfounded, but.

“I held out hope until the end, but you really didn’t notice, did you?”

Jung Minwoo uttered cryptic words.

“…What are you talking about?”

Aroma’s annoyance grew at Jung Minwoo’s dismissive attitude, but.

“Playing pathetic tricks.”

He assumed Jung Minwoo was pretending to be strong and trying to trick him to survive.

“Truly, I see the level of Heaven.”

“Let’s see if you can keep talking after having dozens, hundreds of spears pierce your body.”

Aroma decided to ignore Jung Minwoo’s words any further and gave the angels their orders.

“Kill them!”

He adjusted his stance, preparing to fight, but at that moment.

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

Suddenly, he heard the sound of flesh being pierced from behind.

“…Hmm?”

As he turned his head back, sensing something strange.

“…What?”

T h i s w a s c op i ed f ro m k i n gm tl . o r g
He saw his subordinates, their wings blackened and corrupted, killing their fellow angels.

“…Wh-what are you doing?”

Unable to comprehend the situation, he stared blankly at the scene.

Thud――!

“Ugh…?”

Several weapons pierced his chest and emerged from his back.

“Cough…?”

Aroma tilted his head back to look behind him.

“…”

The fallen angels were stabbing their weapons into his back with gleaming eyes.

“Since when…?”

T h is was c o p i e d f r o m ki n gm t l .o rg
Aroma was bewildered by the sudden betrayal of his subordinates.

“Puh-hee-hee!”

Seina, her wings blackened, covered her mouth and shrugged.
T hi s wa s c o p ie d f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g

“…Seina?”

Aroma cautiously called out Seina’s name.

“Why are you calling me?”

Seina tilted her head and asked back.

“…Since when were you corrupted?”

Aroma asked Seina with trembling eyes.

“From the beginning.”

“…”

Seina replied with a bright smile.

“Thank you for being so oblivious all this time. Thanks to you, I was able to perfectly carry out Minwoo-nim’s orders.”

Then, she swung her mace down on Aroma.

Crack―!
