The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 120

Chapter 120: 1st Rank (1)

‘Which unique trait should I copy?’

Jung Minwoo fell into thought for a moment while looking at the message window.

‘As expected, it’s better to copy Lucifer’s unique trait, right?’

In fact, even if he copied the unique traits of the Demon Communion members, he would still be able to overwhelm Career.

‘I want to hear it directly from the kids rather than checking it myself beforehand.’

He didn’t want to use it to check now because a new effect of the unique trait would be unlocked when they reached 4th Rank.

‘Okay, let’s copy Lucifer’s unique trait.’

Jung Minwoo, who made his decision.

【Copying Lucifer’s unique trait ‘Pride’】

He copied Lucifer’s unique trait.

Thump―!

At the same time, an indescribable power surged from his body.

‘It’s thrilling every time I use it.’

He felt a sense of omnipotence, as if he could do anything.

As he shifted his gaze toward Career.

Flinch―

Perhaps sensing the change in Jung Minwoo’s atmosphere, Career looked at him with a tense expression.

‘It would be nice to finish it off with one clean blow.’

Before attacking, Jung Minwoo used his ‘Demon Eye’ to cast a debuff on Career.

‘This should allow me to finish him off in one shot.’

The effect of the debuff cast was physical defense reduction.

‘Now, shall we finish this?’

Soon, Jung Minwoo’s figure blurred.

Whoosh―

In an instant, he arrived in front of Career.

“!!!”

This wa s c o p i e d f r o m k i ng mt l .org
By the time Career belatedly confirmed that Jung Minwoo had approached him, he crouched down further, assuming a defensive posture.

“Try to endure it well.”

Jung Minwoo let out a sneer and swung his fist.

As his fist struck Career’s side.

B―――――――OOM!!!

With a huge explosion, Career’s body folded in half.

Crack―

Following the sound of bones shattering.

“…Gah?!”

Thud―!

He flew out of the arena, and then.

Crash――!

T h is w a s co pi e d f r o m ki n gm tl . org
His body slammed flat against the wall.

“””…”””

The audience, who had been watching the duel that ended in an instant, couldn’t believe their eyes and couldn’t show any reaction.

“…Is this for real?”

“A 4th Rank can exert this kind of power…?”

“…Is this right?”

The demons, who came to their senses belatedly, began to show astonished reactions as if they couldn’t believe it.

‘That’s the power of a 4th Rank demon?’

Fasti, who was watching the duel, was no different from the other demons.

‘…Did I act cocky in front of him for no reason?’

And as the memory of her declaration of war in front of Jung Minwoo came to mind, her head throbbed.

‘Sigh, if I knew he was this strong, I wouldn’t have said that.’

Who would have thought that a fellow 4th Rank demon would possess such overwhelming power?

‘For now, I have no choice but to leave it to the match-ups.’

Fasti’s goal of crushing Jung Minwoo had changed to avoiding him until she made it into the top 10.

After the shocking first duel, the tournament proceeded smoothly.

“You, come out here!”

“Alright, bring it on!”

The demons continued their duels, calling out those who seemed easy to handle.

And as the tournament reached its climax,

“Contestant Jung Minwoo, Contestant Fasti, please come up to the arena.”

Jung Minwoo and Fasti were set to face each other.

‘…Phew, at least I’m glad I made it to the top 10 before facing him.’

Fasti breathed a sigh of relief as she ascended to the arena.

‘Even if I lose to him, I’m still in 3rd place. I’ll pass the promotion exam and receive a decent amount of demonic energy.’

In other words, she could face Jung Minwoo in the duel with a light heart.

‘But I have no intention of giving up easily…!’

As a demon, her pride wouldn’t allow her to back down before even fighting.

‘I’ve gathered enough information, so I just need to exploit his weaknesses.’

Currently, ‘Weakness Analysis’ was in progress, but it would be finished by the time the duel started.

‘I’ll persistently target his weaknesses.’

Even if he possessed strong power, it wouldn’t matter if she exploited his weaknesses.

“The duel will now commence!”

Beep―――――!

While she was lost in thought, the proctor announced the start of the duel.

As Fasti adjusted her stance and looked at Jung Minwoo,

Chills―

She felt as if an invisible force was pressing down on her.

‘…How can he be a 4th Rank demon!’

As she was taking a deep breath to calm her nerves,

【Weakness Analysis complete】

‘…It’s done!’

T h i s wa s c op i e d fr om k in gmt l. o rg
A message window popped up, informing her that the analysis of Jung Minwoo’s weaknesses was complete.

‘What kind of weaknesses does he have?’

Fasti looked at the message window with anticipation, but only for a moment.

‘…What?’

Her expression crumpled.

‘…This can’t be true?’
T h is w a s co p i e d f r o m k i ng m t l . o r g

That’s because the message window contained an unbelievable message.

【’Jung Minwoo’ has no weaknesses】

‘How can he have no weaknesses?!’

No weaknesses.

Could this possibly be true?

‘Didn’t he have at least one weakness?’

While Fasti was struggling to come to terms with her bewilderment,

“You look pale. Something wrong?”

Jung Minwoo spoke to her in a mocking tone.

“…”

She glared at him without answering.

“It would be rude to drag this out any longer. Let’s finish this quickly.”

Whoosh.

Jung Minwoo approached her in an instant and swung his fist.

‘I can’t block this…!’

Fasti belatedly raised her dagger to block the attack, but,

Booooom!!!

The moment his fist struck her abdomen, she lost consciousness.

Meanwhile, Oren, who was watching the scene,

‘…He’s not an easy opponent.’

He groaned at Jung Minwoo’s overwhelming power.

‘But he’s not unbeatable.’

Even though Jung Minwoo’s power was unapproachable, Oren had a unique trait that allowed him to see 3 seconds into the future.

‘If I know where he’s going to attack, it’s not difficult to dodge.’

And if he could find the optimal path to counterattack through his unique trait and land a blow, he could definitely win the duel.

‘I can’t lose to someone who grew up under the Demon Lord’s protection.’

Oren made a firm resolution not to lose to a demon who had grown up like a flower in a greenhouse.

As he continued his thoughts,

“Contestant Oren, please come up to the arena.”

The proctor ordered him to ascend.

“Understood.”

Oren nodded heavily and went up to the arena. There,

“Good luck.”

Jung Minwoo greeted him with a bright smile.

“…Yeah, good luck to you too.”

Oren replied with a stiff expression and drew his sword.

‘I’m perfectly prepared.’

Then, he assumed his stance, finishing his preparations for the duel.

“The duel will now commence!”

Beep―――――!

The proctor announced the start of the final match.

‘…I will not lose!’

Oren used his unique trait to see 3 seconds into the future.

‘He’ll appear in front of me instantly and strike my head.’

Soon, Jung Minwoo’s figure blurred, and then,

Whoosh.

“Let’s see if you can block this.”

He appeared in front of Oren instantly and swung his fist.

Swoosh!

‘Even though his speed is hard to follow with my eyes… it’s easy to dodge if I know where he’s going to attack.’

As Oren had seen in the future, he immediately ducked.

Fwooosh!

Jung Minwoo’s fist cut through the air with a sonic boom.

‘This is my chance to counterattack…!’

Oren felt that this was his opportunity to counterattack and tried to swing his sword, but,

‘…I’m going to get hit?’

He saw a future where he dodged the attack but was hit by a counterattack.

‘Then what about this?’

He tried to launch a different attack, but the future of him getting counterattacked remained unchanged.

‘If this doesn’t work, I just have to see dozens of futures!’

He racked his brains and saw dozens of futures, but the result was,

‘…Crazy.’

All he saw were futures where he was counterattacked by Jung Minwoo.

‘This can’t be happening.’

Oren didn’t stop there and expanded his unique trait’s ability.

‘Ugh…!’

Th i s w a s c o p ied f r o m ki ng m t l . o r g
With a headache that felt like his brain was about to explode, he confirmed hundreds of futures.
T h i s w as c op i e d f r o m k i n g m t l. o rg

‘…There’s nothing?’

He checked hundreds of futures, and all he saw were scenes of him being counterattacked by Jung Minwoo.

‘…No. It’s just that I haven’t found it yet!!’

The moment Oren tried to expand his unique trait once more to see thousands of futures,

“Cough!”

His brain couldn’t handle the influx of information, and blood surged up his throat.

“Ugh!”

Thud―

Oren, unable to withstand the shock, collapsed to the floor.

“…”
T h i s wa s c o p i e d f rom k i n g m t l .o r g

Jung Minwoo looked at Oren with a bewildered expression after he collapsed.

‘…He collapsed before even trying anything?’

Contrary to his expectations of an exciting duel, it ended far too abruptly.

‘I even deliberately made the first attack straightforward. Maybe I should have finished it from the start?’

Actually, Jung Minwoo had known where Oren would dodge through ‘Mind’s Eye’, but he had attacked anyway because he wanted to properly confirm Oren’s unique trait.

‘But he didn’t even counterattack, he just suddenly vomited blood and collapsed.’

However, Oren’s mind was overwhelmed with information, and he ended up self-destructing.

‘Well, it doesn’t matter anyway.’

As it was the final match, he had planned to enjoy the fight for a while, but he thought it wasn’t bad that it ended so quickly.

‘I need to receive my rank quickly and go see the kids.’

He was thinking about having a small celebration party with the Jungsin Cult members when,

Click, click, click.

The proctor came up to the arena and,

“The final winner is ‘Jung Minwoo’.”

He grabbed Jung Minwoo’s wrist, raised it, and declared the final winner.

“As the final winner, you will receive the largest amount of demonic energy.”

At the proctor’s words, the demons in the audience looked at Jung Minwoo with envy.

“Those who passed the exam, please follow me.”

As Jung Minwoo was about to follow the proctor down from the arena,

“Contestant Jung Minwoo?”

“Yes.”

“Could you please take care of Contestant Oren who collapsed on the floor?”

The proctor asked him to look after Oren.

“Alright.”

Jung Minwoo, without a word, slung Oren over his shoulder and followed the proctor.

T h i s w a s cop i ed f r o m k in g m tl . o r g

The place they arrived at, following the proctor, was the waiting room.

“We will now bestow the ranks.”

As soon as they took their seats, the proctor announced the rank bestowment.

Rumble, rumble, rumble―
T h i s w a s c o p ie d f rom k i n g mt l . o rg

The ceiling of the waiting room cracked open, and a giant eye-shaped structure emerged from it.

‘It’s been a while.’

Jung Minwoo briefly reminisced about the graduation ceremony as he looked at the giant eye.

‘This is where it begins.’

Once he was bestowed with the 3rd Rank, he would become even busier than before.

‘The scrutiny will also intensify.’

Moreover, the possibility of demons resorting to tricks out of fear would also increase, but,

‘Well, it doesn’t matter. I’ll just crush them if they come at me.’

All he had to do was to keep doing what he had been doing and suppress any enemies who dared to challenge him.

As he was steeling his resolve,

Crack, crack, crack―

The giant eye slowly began to open.

Flash―

And when the eye was fully open,

Throb―

“Ugh?!”

He was struck by a pain that felt as if his brain was about to explode.

‘No, how can the pain be even worse…?’

He shifted his gaze and looked at the demons around him.

“Uggghhh…!”

“Squeal, squeal?”

“Ugh, ugh!”

“Gah!!”

They were writhing on the floor like fish out of water.

‘I’m the lucky one.’

Even Oren and Fasti, who had fainted, seemed to have regained consciousness from the intense pain, joining the other demons in their writhing.

‘Anyway, when is this going to end…?’

After struggling in pain for a few minutes,

【3rd Rank bestowed】

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

‘It finally came.’

He breathed a sigh of relief at the thought that he no longer had to endure the pain, but at that moment,

“Gasp!”
T h i s w a s c o pie d fr o m k in g m tl . o r g

Demonic energy enveloped his body, and,

“Haa!”

He felt an overwhelming power overflowing within him, and a gasp of admiration escaped his lips.
