The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 106

Chapter 106: The End of the Bet (3)

‘Escape is impossible.’

Aroma forced a bitter smile as he looked at the whip wrapped around his body.

Normally, he could have easily broken free with his strength.

‘But I don’t have the stamina left…’

After being beaten by Shadow and Jung Minwoo, he had exhausted all his stamina, leaving him with no strength to even move a finger.

‘To think I’d be cornered like this by a 4th Rank demon…’

As Aroma regretted underestimating the 4th Rank demon,

“Piece of cake!”

Rok, who had approached him, flicked his tongue.

“Gasp!”

However, Aroma had no intention of giving up so easily. With the help of his spear, he barely managed to dodge the attack.

“I can’t lose face by dying to a 7th Rank…!”

“Cake…!”

As Aroma made his dismissive remark, Rok frowned. At that moment,

“…Die.”

Elin shot black flames that seemed to burn everything towards Aroma.

‘Partner, can you avoid it?’

【Somehow】

With the help of his spear, Aroma rolled pathetically on the floor, barely managing to dodge the attack once again.

“Pant, pant!”

As he caught his breath, his heart pounding in his chest,

“Now, I’ll cut off your head!”

Anubis, whose hair was dyed red, approached in an instant and swung her greatsword.

Swish――Whoosh

‘…Dangerous!’

Thinking that he could die if he allowed the attack to land, Aroma somehow tilted his body back, but,

“Ugh…!”

Slash―――――Rip!

His body was cut diagonally, and red blood gushed out from the wound.

‘Damn it, I should have dodged faster!’

Aroma blamed himself for dodging late and felt his mind becoming hazy.

“You were shallow. Well, I can just kill you with the next attack.”

Anubis shook off the blood and raised her greatsword once again.

“Don’t dodge this time. You’ll only hurt yourself if you get injured again, right?”

Then she swung her sword once again towards Aroma’s neck.

Swish――Whoosh.

‘…It’s over.’

Aroma realized he couldn’t dodge and sensed that this attack would kill him.

‘Am I going to die so pathetically…?’

As the greatsword came within inches of his neck,

【It’s too early to give up.】

The partner in his hand spoke to him.

‘Do you have a way to get out of this situation?’

【There is one.】

‘What is it?’

【I sacrifice myself.】

Th is w a s c o pi e d fr o m k in gm tl . o rg
‘…What?’

Aroma felt something was wrong and tried to stop his partner, but,

【You must survive.】

Fizzle―

“No, no!!!”

His partner shattered and wrapped around Aroma’s body.

Rumble―

T h is w a s c op i e d f rom k i n gm t l . o r g
At the same time, an overwhelming sense of omnipotence surged through his body, a feeling he had never experienced in his entire life.

“Ah, ah…”

Aroma grieved the death of his partner, who had been with him his whole life, and at the same time,

Grab―

He caught the greatsword that had come within inches of his neck, blocking the attack.

“Blocked…?”

Anubis was flustered by the sight of her attack being blocked so easily and tried to pull out her greatsword, but,

“…It won’t come out?”

Even with all her strength, the greatsword showed no sign of escaping Aroma’s grasp.

“Want your greatsword back?”

Aroma looked at Anubis with murderous eyes and said,

“Then, take it!”

He released the whip wrapped around his body and threw the greatsword he had caught at Anubis.

“…What?!”

Whoosh――Woosh!

Anubis, who was holding the handle, couldn’t overcome the recoil and was thrown back along with the greatsword.

“You’re next!”

Next, Aroma approached Venus, who was nearby, and reached out his hand.

“Die!”

And as he was about to grab Venus’s neck and break it,

“That won’t work.”

Jung Minwoo appeared and struck Aroma’s face.

Boom―――――――――!

It was an explosive sound that would have been no surprise if his head had exploded, but,

“Is that all?”

As if it was nothing, Aroma lightly blocked Jung Minwoo’s attack with his hand.

“Nothing’s going easy…”
T h i s w a s co p i e d f r om k i ng mt l .o rg

At that sight, Jung Minwoo made a disgusted expression and retreated with Venus.

“…Ha, going easy? You killed my partner and want things to go easy? That’s absurd.”

Hearing Jung Minwoo’s words, Aroma let out a hollow laugh and said,

“Why blame others for your partner dying because you’re weak?”

At Jung Minwoo’s mocking reply, cracks appeared in Aroma’s expression.

“…You’re running your mouth until the very end. Alright, let’s see if you can still run your mouth after your body is torn to shreds.”

T h is w a s c o p ie d f r om k i n g m t l.o r g
“In that state? I think you’ll be the one dying before you can tear me apart.”

“I can do it, and then some. This is the power my partner gave me at the cost of his life.”

“Really? Because the way I see it, you’ll be following the guy you call your partner soon enough.”

“…”

A cunning tongue.

‘He’s trying so hard to provoke me and cloud my judgment.’

If it had been before, he would have jumped in recklessly, but,

‘I won’t attack rashly.’

He had regained his composure due to his partner’s death and wouldn’t fall for Jung Minwoo’s tricks.

‘I have to finish this in one go.’

Even though he was a 4th Rank, he had experienced firsthand that his combat abilities were considerable, so it was best to finish him off in one go.

‘My Battle Sense is working well, too.’

As a result of seeing the attack paths through ‘Battle Sense,’

He could conclude that it wouldn’t be difficult to kill Jung Minwoo.

‘Alright, shall we go?’

Aroma adjusted his posture and then,

“Here I go!!!”

As he was about to rush in to end the life of that cunning bat,

Rumble――!

“…Huh?”

Explosive demonic energy began to surge from Jung Minwoo’s body.

“What…?”

Aroma’s eyes trembled violently at the unexpected situation.

‘…The paths are being blocked.’

And the attack paths shown by ‘Battle Sense’ started to disappear one by one. Then,

‘All the paths have disappeared?’

Eventually, all the attack paths disappeared, and he could see nothing.

“…”

The disappearance of the paths meant that no matter what he did, he couldn’t land an attack.

‘Did he suddenly get stronger…?’

Aroma unconsciously stepped back. At that moment,

“Hey, aren’t you coming?”

Jung Minwoo smiled brightly and beckoned him with his finger.

When Aroma first gained strong power due to the ‘Ego Spear,’ Jung Minwoo felt troubled.

‘As expected, he was going to try something,’

However, even though he felt troubled, he didn’t despair.

‘William will finish the conquest in 5 minutes.’

Because William would soon conquer the ‘Yurain’ planet and gain a massive amount of demonic energy.

‘I even gave him a time limit, so he’ll meet it, right?’

Even if William didn’t conquer the planet on time, it didn’t matter.

‘I just have to endure.’

Even though Aroma had gained immense power temporarily, it was enough to read his thoughts and dodge his attacks.

‘I’m confident in stalling for time.’

As he was stalling for time while talking to Aroma,

【You have invaded the ‘Yurain’ planet.】

T h i s w a s co pi e d f ro m k i ngm tl . o rg
‘It finally popped up.’

The message window he had been waiting for appeared before his eyes.

【A large amount of demonic energy will be given as a reward.】

T h is w a s c op i e d fr o m k in gmtl. o rg
As the message window announcing the demonic energy reward appeared,

Rumble――!

‘…Ah!’

Demonic energy surged from his entire body, and power began to overflow.

‘Good.’

Jung Minwoo felt ecstatic at the massive amount of demonic energy he had gained and checked his body.

‘Perfect.’

Upon checking, he could confirm that his power had increased several times over.

‘With this much power, I can easily crush Aroma.’

Jung Minwoo smiled confidently and turned his gaze to Aroma.

‘He looks like a scared pigeon.’

He could see Aroma cowering.

“Hey, aren’t you coming?”

Jung Minwoo laughed at the sudden change in attitude and beckoned Aroma with his finger.

“…”

Despite the clear provocation, Aroma didn’t react.

T h is w a s c o pi e d fr o m k i n gmtl . o r g
“Not coming? Then I’ll go first.”

Jung Minwoo lightly stretched his body and then,

“You should have run away when you gained power.”

He charged towards Aroma.

“H, hiik?!”

Aroma panicked and swung his leg, but,

【Left leg.】

It was obvious where he would attack, so it wasn’t difficult to dodge.

Whoosh―

Jung Minwoo dodged the attack by bending his left leg and at the same time,

Boom―――――――――!

He struck Aroma’s abdomen.

“Ugh!”

Aroma’s body was about to fly back from the impact, but,

Grab―

Jung Minwoo grabbed his hair to prevent him from flying away.

“Let’s end this quickly.”

It was as if victory was already decided, but it was better to kill him when he had the chance, as there was no telling when a variable might appear.

“Shadow Deployment.”

As he infused demonic energy into the ring and chanted the activation word,

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.

The shadow that had been spread on the floor rose in the shape of a hand and then,

Grab―

It grabbed Aroma’s body and began to envelop him.

“No, no. Spare me!!!”

As if he knew he wouldn’t end well if he was dragged into the shadow, Aroma begged Jung Minwoo for his life.

‘Corrupting him wouldn’t be a bad idea.’

For a moment, he thought about corrupting Aroma and making him his subordinate, but,

‘The benefits of killing him are too great.’

Thinking about the demonic energy he would gain by killing a 2nd Rank angel, corrupting him was too much of a loss.

‘And since his rank is higher than mine, I can’t be sure that Charm will work on him.’

If Charm happened to wear off, things would only get more troublesome.

‘It’s better to kill him.’

In the end, Jung Minwoo decided to kill Aroma, considering the benefits he would gain.

“I, I’ll do anything if you spare me! If you tell me to lick your feet, I’ll lick them!!!”

“No, just die.”

Jung Minwoo, who didn’t have a foot fetish, flatly rejected Aroma’s offer and let go of his hair.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.

Then Aroma’s body began to be slowly sucked into the shadow.

“No, no!!”

When only his head remained outside the shadow,

“Do you think you can live well after killing me?!”

Aroma gave up begging for his life and cursed Jung Minwoo.

“I’ll live very well.”

Jung Minwoo chuckled and kindly answered Aroma’s words.

“You, bastard… Grrr.”

And soon after, when Aroma was completely swallowed by the shadow,

【You have killed an angel of higher rank than yourself. Demon energy will be given as a reward.】

A message window popped up, and new demonic energy flowed into his body.

“Phew, it’s finally over.”

Jung Minwoo felt refreshed that the long and arduous battle was finally over.

‘The invasion of the Dainik planet isn’t over yet, but Elvis will finish it soon.’

The angels were dead, and Katra had lost his power, so it would be difficult even for Satan to turn things around now.

‘I’ve buttoned the first button well, so things will proceed smoothly according to plan.’

Th is w a s co p i e d f r om k i n gm t l . o rg
If things went on like this, he would be able to become the Demon Lord in the shortest time possible and build up his power.

‘Are these guys okay?’

Jung Minwoo came to his senses and turned his head to look at the Jungsin Cult members.

“””Ah…”””

He could see them staring blankly, marveling at the demonic energy.

‘Well, it’s natural for them to react like that after gaining a large amount of demonic energy.’

He waited for a moment for the Jungsin Cult members to come to their senses.

‘Looks like they’re done checking.’

He could see the light returning to their blank eyes.

Then, as the Jungsin Cult members fully regained their senses and looked at him,

“Good work, everyone.”

Jung Minwoo smiled gently and expressed his gratitude for their hard work so far.

“Minwoo-nim, you worked hard too. You really defeated a 2nd Rank angel.”

“…Minwoo, you worked hard.”

“Demonic energy is really good. I feel like I can fight even more fiercely now.”

“Damn it, I firmly believed that Minwoo would kill the 2nd Rank pigeon! Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Jungsin Cult members responded with bright smiles.

“Let’s have a grand celebration party in the Demon World when the planetary invasion is over.”

At Jung Minwoo’s suggestion, the Jungsin Cult members welcomed it with open arms.

Afterwards, Jung Minwoo cast a debuff on the surviving angel, erasing his memories of what had happened and sending him back to the Celestial Realm.

A week later,

【You have invaded the ‘Dainik’ planet.】

【A large amount of demonic energy will be given as a reward.】

As planned, they successfully invaded the ‘Dainik’ planet, and Jung Minwoo won the bet with Baal.
