The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 124

Chapter 124: Invasion Commencement (1)

At the time when Jung Minwoo was slammed against the wall after being hit by the combined attack of the Jungsin Cult members.

‘I didn’t expect to take such a big hit.’

Jung Minwoo showed a pleasant smile and pulled himself out of the wall.
Th i s wa s cop i ed f r o m k in g m t l . o r g

‘Was this the first time I allowed an attack?’

While he felt proud of their remarkably improved skills.

‘But I should return what I received, right?’

He wanted to test how far the Jungsin Cult members could endure.

‘First, let’s try copying a unique trait.’

As soon as he thought about copying a unique trait.

【Which demon’s unique trait would you like to copy?】

1. Rok

2. 555 (Owl)

3. Anubis

4. Elin

5. Venus

6. Lucifer

A message window appeared before his eyes.

‘To overwhelm them effortlessly, it would be best to copy Lucifer’s unique trait, but…’

He thought it wouldn’t be bad to copy other unique traits at this opportunity.

‘As it happens, there was a unique trait I wanted to copy.’

The unique trait he wanted to copy was.

‘Ultimate Evolution.’

It was Rok’s newly changed unique trait.

‘Just from the description, it sounds incredible.’

Based on the description alone, it seemed even better than Lucifer’s unique trait.

‘Then, shall we use it right away?’

Jung Minwoo decided to check the effects directly, and as soon as he said he would copy Rok’s unique trait.

【Copying Rok’s unique trait ‘Ultimate Evolution’】

A message window popped up saying it would copy the unique trait.

【The ability varies depending on the amount of Demonic Energy used. How much would you like to use?】

Then, a message window asked how much Demonic Energy he would use.

‘I see, I need to set it separately.’

Jung Minwoo thought for a moment.

‘All.’

There was nothing better than going all out to check, so he decided to use all of his Demonic Energy.

【Currently, all of your Demonic Energy will be used】

【Based on the Demonic Energy analysis, you can evolve into two forms. Please choose one.】

Battle Mode.

Brain Mode.

‘I’ll evolve into Battle Mode.’

When he chose to evolve into ‘Battle Mode’ on the message window asking which form he would like to evolve into.

【You can only use 50% of the ability of the first form ‘Battle Mode’】

A message window popped up saying he could only use half of the ability.

‘…Only 50%?’

Despite using all of his Demonic Energy, only 50%?

‘How overpowered is this unique trait?’

Jung Minwoo realized that he had underestimated the effects of Rok’s unique trait.

While he was admiring Rok’s unique trait.

【Evolving into ‘Battle Mode’】

The message window informed him that it would evolve, and then.

‘Oh…’

Demonic Energy enveloped his body, and his appearance began to change.

‘With this much power, I could even fight the 72nd ranked Demon Lord without being outmatched.’

And a sense of confidence surged within him due to the overwhelming power he felt in his body.

‘When I ascend to the Demon Lord’s throne and use this unique trait again, the effects will be tremendous.’

When he became a Demon Lord, his Demonic Energy would increase immensely, so he would be able to fully utilize the ‘Ultimate Evolution’ unique trait.

After finishing checking his status.

‘Before I start fighting in earnest, I should praise them for what happened earlier, right?’

It was a monumental day where they successfully landed an attack for the first time, so he decided it would be better to offer praise rather than a surprise attack.

“Amazing.”

He started speaking and walked out through the thick dust.

“I never thought you would achieve such a high level.”

And when he praised the Jungsin Cult members while looking at them.

‘The effect is good.’

Perhaps they were happy to be praised, the Jungsin Cult members showed dazed expressions.

“Then, I should also put in more effort to match that, right?”

But when he announced that he would resume training.

“Minwoo-nim, wait a minute!”

“…Minwoo, calm down.”

“Training over! Training over! Stop!!”

“Minwoo, we’re friends, right…?”
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i n g m tl . o r g

T h i s wa s c o p i e d fr o m k i n g mt l . o r g
The faces of the Jungsin Cult members quickly turned into expressions of terror, and they abruptly declared they were giving up.

“Who said you could do that?”

Jung Minwoo had no intention of ending it here, so he rejected the Jungsin Cult members’ opinions and decided to continue the training.

‘Should I go easy on the first attack?’

The moment he gathered Demonic Energy in his hand and shot it at the Jungsin Cult members.

KABOOM!!!

‘Hmm?’

Clang—

It displayed power beyond his expectations, and it shattered the Jungsin Cult members’ protective barrier with a single blow.

‘…What?’

He felt that his power had become incomparably greater than before.

‘…I thought they would be able to withstand this?’

He hadn’t expected the protective barrier to break with the light attack he had launched as a greeting.

“꺄악!”

“…큭!”

“으아아악?!”
T h i s w a s co p ied f ro m k i ng m t l . or g

“…Ribbit, ribbit!!”

The Jungsin Cult members couldn’t withstand the impact as their protective barrier shattered, and they flew far away, then.

THUD—!

They crashed into the wall in a sprawled position and hung their heads.
Th is w a s c o pi e d fro m k i n gm t l.o r g

“…Guys?”

Jung Minwoo cautiously called out to the Jungsin Cult members, but.

“””…”””

Perhaps they had fainted, there was no one who answered Jung Minwoo’s call.

‘I didn’t intend to make them faint…’

Jung Minwoo fully realized the power of ‘Ultimate Evolution’ and thought he should inject an appropriate amount of Demonic Energy when using it on the Jungsin Cult members.

‘…I was going to look for a planet to invade and have a small party as soon as the training was over.’

Unfortunately, it seemed like it would take them quite a long time to wake up.

‘It would be better to plan the planet information and invasion strategy on my own.’

He decided to tell the Jungsin Cult members about the information he had gathered and the plan when they woke up.

‘I can’t leave them stuck in the wall, so I should move them to their rooms, right…?’

Afterward, Jung Minwoo moved the Jungsin Cult members to their respective rooms, then.

‘Shall we go to the library?’

He headed to the library to find a suitable planet to invade.

Two days later.

The Jungsin Cult members woke up, and they held a small party to celebrate everyone passing the promotion exam.

“Wow, this is a real feast!”

Anubis, entering the dining room, sparkled her eyes while looking at the food on the table.

“It’s a meaningful day, so I put some effort into the food.”

The quality of the food was the same as when he had invited Satan and his family.

“The price must have been quite high, is it okay?”

Venus asked with a worried voice after seeing the food, but.

“Don’t worry. I diligently saved up DP to use it at times like this.”

Jung Minwoo shook his head and expressed that it was okay.

“Everyone, take your seats.”

Then, as Jung Minwoo sat at the head of the table.

“Okay.”

“…Yeah.”

“I want to eat quickly!”

“I’ll be feasting after a long time. Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Jungsin Cult members followed and sat on their chairs.

Then, the meal began, and 10 minutes later.

“Everyone, listen while you eat.”

Jung Minwoo felt this was the right time to talk and opened his mouth.

“While you were all unconscious, I looked for a planet to invade.”

“A planet?”

“Yes, and fortunately, I succeeded in finding a planet suitable for invasion.”

At the words that he had found a planet suitable for invasion, the Jungsin Cult members’ eyes sparkled.

“First, to briefly explain the information about the planet…”

T h i s w a s co p i e d f r om k in g m tl. o rg
『Liger』

— Time axis is the same as the Demon World.

— Various races live there.
T h i s w as c op i e d f ro m k i ng mt l. o r g

— The civilizations of all races are developed, but the Beastmen are the most dominant.

— There is a strong culture of worshipping strength. They reject angels and demons.

Due to their rejection, there are no pigeons and demons.

After listening to Jung Minwoo’s explanation.

“How big is the planet?”

Venus asked about the part she was curious about.

“After researching, it’s about 100 times bigger than the ‘Yurain’ planet.”

100 times.

This meant that it was 100 times bigger than Earth.

“The time axis is the same as the Demon World… and it’s 100 times bigger, wouldn’t it be difficult to invade within 100 years?”

At Venus’s worried concern, Jung Minwoo smiled softly and answered.

“After researching, it seems that when a portal is opened between planets, the time axis of the invading planet is followed.”

In other words, if they started the invasion, time on the ‘Liger’ planet would flow 20 times faster.

“A portal?”

“Yes, when I looked at the Demon Lord Shop Window, they were selling an artifact that creates a portal connecting planets.”

“Can I ask how much it costs?”

At Venus’s following question, Jung Minwoo told her the price of the artifact.

“100 million DP.”

“…100 million DP? Did we have that much DP?”
T h i s w as c op i e d f r o m k i n g mt l .o rg

“Fortunately, Satan provided 100 million DP as a gift for achieving 1st Rank.”

“That’s a relief.”

As Venus breathed a sigh of relief.

“…Just listening to the explanation, it seems like there are quite a lot of advantages. Do other demons also use this method?”

Elin asked a sharp question.

“No, I asked Satan, and he said this method isn’t used often.”
Th is w as c o pi e d f r o m k i ngmt l . o r g

“…Why?”

“Because there’s one big disadvantage.”

“A big disadvantage?”

“When you cross the portal, there’s a restriction on your power.”

“Ah…”

At Jung Minwoo’s explanation, Elin let out a short sigh.

“Since your power is restricted by half, there’s a high risk of being defeated by the higher beings of the planet. And above all, it’s because it’s difficult to deal with if the pigeons try to occupy it.”

“…Then, wouldn’t it be difficult for us to invade too?”

“That’s true, but we have to take risks to reap big rewards.”

“…That’s true.”

Although their power would be restricted, there was one workaround.

‘Monsters aren’t affected by the power restriction.’

Fortunately, monsters weren’t affected by the power restriction even if they passed through the portal.

‘If we use them well at crucial moments, it would be a great help in the invasion.’

After finishing all the explanations, Jung Minwoo looked at the Jungsin Cult members and said.

“We plan to invade the ‘Liger’ planet and use the DP we gain to quickly invade other planets.”

“How many planets are we planning to invade? Ribbit, ribbit.”

At Rok’s question, Jung Minwoo smiled meaningfully and said.

“1,000.”

“…1,000? Isn’t that too many? Ribbit, ribbit.”

“No, we absolutely have to invade at least this many. Only then will we be able to face the 72nd ranked Demon Lord.”

“I, is that so? Ribbit, ribbit.”

“So, we’ll be having a busy 100 years ahead of us.”

At Jung Minwoo’s words, the Jungsin Cult members showed determined expressions, hardening their resolve.

“We’ll start by invading weak nations. Let’s begin researching information as soon as the meal is over.”

After finishing the conversation, when he was about to continue eating.

“By the way, when you challenge for the throne, how is it conducted?”

Anubis asked, scratching her head.

T hi s w a s c o p ied f r o m k in g m t l . or g
“It’s conducted in three ways.”

“Three ways?”

“They are…”

The three ways were as follows.

First, Planetary War.

A method where one planet is chosen, and they wage war against another planet.

Second, Subordinate Duel.

A method where three subordinates are selected, and they engage in duels.

Lastly, Deathmatch.

A method where the challenger and the Demon Lord engage in a 1-on-1 duel.

“There’s not a single easy one.”

Anubis, who had heard the methods, seemed to have a lot on her mind as she pressed her temples and said.

“That’s right. We need to prepare steadily.”

“Really, there’s no other way.”

“It will be tough, but if you endure a little hardship, you’ll get a reward that matches it, so please bear with it and follow me well.”

“Of course! And don’t worry too much about the duels. No matter who comes out, I’ll crush them all!”

At Anubis’s declaration, Jung Minwoo chuckled and said.

“That’s reassuring.”

“Of course!”

“Now let’s continue eating.”

“Okay!”

Afterward, Jung Minwoo and the Jungsin Cult members finished their meal and headed to the office inside the Demon Lord’s Castle to research information on the ‘Liger’ planet.
