The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 105

Chapter 105: The End of the Bet (2)

Aroma, struck by the mace, felt his mind fading.

‘How did it come to this?’

Even as his body tilted towards the ground, Aroma’s thoughts didn’t stop.

‘…Was I played by that damn bat bastard from start to finish?’

Regret washed over Aroma for not eliminating Seina and for believing Katra’s words.

‘Would things have been different if I hadn’t accepted Seina?’

He pondered what would have happened if he hadn’t recruited Seina.

‘No, the result wouldn’t have changed.’

He was certain that the cunning bat bastard would have brought about the same outcome even without Seina.

‘I should’ve taken the risk and fought when I noticed his existence.’

But no matter how much he regretted, he couldn’t turn back time.

T hi s wa s co pi e d f r om k in g m t l. o r g
‘I have to fix this mistake, even now.’

Although all of his subordinates were dead, leaving him alone.

‘My partner is still with me.’

The partner who fought alongside him his whole life was in his hand.

‘Partner, are you ready?’

The spear vibrated at Aroma’s question.

【I’ve been ready for a while.】

The spear’s thought echoed in Aroma’s head.

‘Let’s kill them all and reclaim the planet.’

【Just like we always overcame crises.】

Aroma smirked and scanned his surroundings.

Whoosh!

He saw Seina’s mace approaching right before his eyes.

“…Do you think I’ll just stand here and take it?”

Aroma designated everyone except himself as enemies.

‘I see it!’

Escape routes started flooding his mind.

“Ha!”

Thud!

As he fell, Aroma kicked Seina’s stomach, creating distance.

“Ugh?!”

Seeing Seina pushed back, Aroma quickly got up and threw his spear at the angels behind her.

Wooong!

The spear vibrated, then

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

It flew around freely, piercing the angels’ heads.

Thud, thud, thud!

Then, as Aroma lunged towards Seina.

Wooong.

The spear returned to Aroma’s hand.

Grasp

“Die!!!”

Aroma, gripping the spear, thrust it towards Seina.
Th i s w a s c o p i e d fro m k ing m tl .o rg

Or, he tried to.

“This looks fun. Mind if I join?”

That was, if Anubis hadn’t intervened with a bright smile and swung her greatsword.

Clang!

Aroma stopped his attack and immediately blocked Anubis’s attack, but

“Tsk!”

Due to his unstable stance during the block, his posture crumbled.

“I’ll take your head.”

Anubis didn’t miss the opportunity and swung her greatsword again.

Whoosh!

The greatsword sliced through the air, heading for Aroma’s neck. At that moment,

“How dare a lowly bat like you act up!!”

Wooong!

The spear left Aroma’s hand and moved on its own, then

Clang!

It collided with the greatsword, protecting Aroma’s neck.

Flap!

Aroma spread his wings to regain his balance and swung his leg for a counterattack.

“Hah, you think you can face me with such petty tricks?”

Anubis tilted her head back, trying to dodge the attack easily, but

“Bullshit.”

His leg twisted in an unnatural direction, then

Thud!

It struck Anubis’s neck.

“Ugh?!”

As Anubis was momentarily stunned,

“One down.”

Aroma gripped his spear, aiming for Anubis’s heart.

Whoosh!

Just as the spear was about to reach Anubis’s chest,

Whirl!

“Stop struggling and accept your death.”

Venus wrapped her whip around the spear, halting the attack.

“Hmph!”

Instead of replying, Aroma pulled the spear entangled in the whip forcefully.

“Ah?!”

Venus, unable to overcome the force, flew towards Aroma.

“First, I’ll crush that mouth of yours.”

Aroma, timing his punch, aimed for Venus’s face, but

Swoosh

“?!”

Suddenly, the ground caved in, and his foot slipped, causing him to miss his attack.

“…As expected, 2nd Rank is different.”

Elin, with a hardened expression, created and launched a giant ice crystal.

Whoosh!

“…I can’t avoid this.”

Aroma, deciding it was unavoidable, infused his spear with holy power.

“Then I have no choice but to shatter it!”

He then swung the holy power-infused spear at the giant ice crystal.

Shatter!

The ice crystal shattered easily, but

Thud, thud, thud, thud!

“Ugh?!”

The broken shards pierced and embedded themselves in Aroma’s thigh.

“…Pathetic trick.”

Aroma, roughly pulling out the ice shards from his thigh, tried to retreat, but

“Ribbit!”

Thud!

Rok, who had approached unnoticed, struck Aroma’s back from behind.

“Ugh!”

“Ribbit!”

Rok approached to land another blow, but

Whoosh!

Aroma, falling to the ground, swung his spear, putting Rok in danger.

“…Ribbit?”

As the spear was about to pierce Rok’s head,

Thud!

The fallen pigeon threw himself forward, protecting Rok.

“Damn it, why can’t I land a single decent blow?”

Aroma felt frustrated with the situation not going his way.

‘How can they have such gear-like coordination?’

He was also confused by their teamwork, which seemed like they had been fighting together for a thousand years.

‘…And my Unique Trait isn’t working properly against them.’

The attack routes suggested by ‘Battle Sense’ were too easily blocked by the demons, and there were numerous instances where they deviated from his predicted attack paths, almost costing him his life.

‘…This has never happened in my entire life.’

Aroma guessed that someone was interfering, causing his Unique Trait to malfunction.
Th is w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g

‘Who’s behind this?’

His guess soon turned into certainty, and Aroma scanned his surroundings.

‘…Jung Minwoo.’

He saw Jung Minwoo in the distance, arms crossed, observing the fight.

‘I don’t know what it is, but I’m sure that bat bastard is behind this.’

Dash!

With a gut feeling, Aroma charged straight at Jung Minwoo.

Jung Minwoo chose to observe rather than engage in combat with the Demon Communion members.

It was partly because he was cautious of facing a 2nd Rank angel, but also because

【Left】, 【Right】, 【One step to the left】, 【Duck and counter】, 【Tilt your head to the left and counter with the spear】.

Aroma’s thoughts were changing dozens of times per second, making it difficult for Jung Minwoo to even send telepathic messages to the Demon Communion members.

‘It’s a very annoying Unique Trait.’

If he lost focus for even a moment, he would be counterattacked immediately, making it impossible for him to move while sending messages.

‘To think he has this much fighting power even while injured. It would’ve been terrifying if we fought him when he was in perfect condition.’

It was a precaution, but Jung Minwoo was glad he had corrupted the pigeons.

As he continued to send telepathic messages and commands to the Demon Communion members,

‘I’m getting used to his speed.’

Jung Minwoo was gradually adapting to Aroma’s speed.

‘Soon, I’ll be able to participate in the fight while sending messages.’
T h i s w as c o pi e d f r o m k i n g m t l. o r g

He predicted that he would be able to gain the upper hand and finish this if he continued like this.

However, there was one thing that bothered him.

‘That spear he’s holding…’

The presence of the spear that constantly communicated with Aroma bothered him.

‘…Ego Spear.’

It was a weapon capable of emotion and thought, and it was known to possess immense power.

‘I need to watch out for that spear.’

Jung Minwoo decided to finish this before the ‘Ego Spear’ could interfere and continued to pressure Aroma.

‘Hmm?’

Aroma stopped fighting and abruptly looked in his direction.

‘Did he notice?’
T hi s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g

No matter how bird-brained he was, he must have noticed the strange flow of the battle.

Dash!

Then, Aroma, with a confident expression, charged towards him.

‘Now that I’m fully adapted to his speed, I can join the fight.’

Jung Minwoo infused his ring with demonic energy and chanted the activation word.

“Shadow Deployment.”

Squirm, squirm, squirm.

The shadows on the ground rose, taking the shape of demons.

“Kill that guy.”

Jung Minwoo pointed at Aroma, ordering the shadows to kill him.

Rustle

Ten shadows silently lunged at Aroma.

“Mere shadows!”

Aroma confidently swung his spear at the shadows, but

Whoosh!

The shadows effortlessly dodged Aroma’s attack by simply tilting their heads.

“…What?”

As Aroma was taken aback by their unexpected agility,

Thud!

The shadows didn’t miss the opportunity, surrounding Aroma and pummeling him.

“Y-You’re just shadows?!”

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

They were definitely weaker than the Demon Communion members in terms of raw power, but

‘I can control the shadows like my own limbs.’

Since he was controlling them directly instead of sending telepathic messages, he could pressure Aroma with seamless attacks.

“Die!”

Aroma yelled in frustration, trying to thrust his spear, but

Thud!

The shadow behind him tripped his ankle, causing him to lose balance and miss his thrust.

T h is w a s c o p i e d f r o m k in g m t l.or g
Thud!

T h i s w a s c op i e d f ro m k i n g m t l .or g
The shadow in front of him then struck Aroma’s chin, shaking his brain.

“Ugh?”

Aroma’s body tilted backward.

Thud, thud!

Two shadows grabbed Aroma’s hair and kicked the back of his knees.

“Ugh!”

Thump

He helplessly fell to his knees.

Rustle

Then, the ten shadows, holding Aroma’s hair, began a one-sided assault.

‘They’re doing well.’

Jung Minwoo, watching them, decided to use this opportunity to copy Lucifer’s Unique Trait.

As he thought about copying the trait,

【Which demon’s Unique Trait do you want to copy?】

1. No. 2

2. No. 555

T h i s wa s c o p i e d f ro m ki ng m t l . o rg
3. No. 777

4. No. 888

5. Venus

6. Lucifer

A message window appeared before him.

‘I’ll copy Lucifer’s Unique Trait.’

【Copying Lucifer’s Unique Trait ‘Pride’.】

Along with the message that the trait was being copied,

Boom!

An indescribable power surged from his body.

‘Let’s see if this power works on a 2nd Rank pigeon.’

Jung Minwoo’s figure blurred, then

Whoosh!

He appeared before Aroma in an instant.

T h i s w a s cop i e d f r o m k i ng m t l . o r g
“…Huh?!”
T h i s wa s c op i e d f ro m k i n g mt l . or g

Aroma, noticing Jung Minwoo’s approach, tried to resist, but

“…Damn it!”

He couldn’t fight back since he was being held by the shadows.

“First, one punch.”

Thanks to that, Jung Minwoo could throw a punch at Aroma without any interference.

“Endure the pain.”

His fist landed on Aroma’s abdomen.

BOOOOOM!!!

A huge explosion erupted, and Aroma’s figure was sent flying.

“Gah?!”

Aroma tried to spread his wings mid-flight to stop himself, but

‘…I can’t feel any strength in my body.’

He didn’t have the strength to spread his wings due to the injuries he sustained in the fight and his depleted stamina.

Crash!

In the end, Aroma could only stop after rolling on the ground hundreds of times.

‘I can’t win in my current state… I need to escape while I can still move!’

Aroma, who had rolled relentlessly on the ground, pulled himself together and tried to get up and escape, but

“Don’t move.”

Whirl!

Venus, catching Aroma’s body with her whip, thwarted his attempt.
