The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 127
Chapter 127: Invasion Commencement (4)
“Furthermore, the other Sword Masters and 8th Class mages have also grown further.”
Elvis informed him of the growth of the others, and at the same time, he said,
“If they had just entered the God realm, they wouldn’t have been able to fully utilize their strength under the restriction, but now they have achieved a certain level of accomplishment, so I believe they will have no problem exerting their power even with the restriction.”
He presented the basis that they would have no problem using their powers even with the restriction.
‘Makes sense.’
T h is w a s c op ie d f r o m k i ng mt l . o r g
For example, if the number required to reach the Sword Master realm was ‘100’, the current knights possessed a number of ‘1000’.
‘In short, even if the restriction on their power limits them to using only 500, it still far exceeds the number 100, so there’s no problem in exerting their power.’
It meant that while they wouldn’t be able to engage in long battles like before, there would be no change in terms of power.
‘It was a fairly persuasive argument.’
It was a decent argument, but there was a fatal flaw in Elvis’s assertion.
“If the lower realms are restricted, it’s a different story, right?”
The flaw was that the higher beings in the lower realms would have their power reduced if restricted, making it impossible for them to fully utilize their strength.
“That’s true, but wouldn’t they also grow through invasion activities?”
In other words, he was saying that experiencing actual combat would be more helpful for growth than 99 years of training.
T h i s wa s c o p i e d f r o m k i n g m tl . o r g
‘There’s nothing better for growth than real combat.’
There were still several flaws in Elvis’s argument, but…
‘It’s not like they’re unprepared. And since they’re determined to invade, it should be okay to proceed.’
Since Elvis had proven himself, he decided to accept his argument.
“Alright. Proceed as you wish.”
“Thank you.”
“But we can’t just blindly go on an invasion, can we?”
As Jung Minwoo turned his gaze towards Venus,
“Here it is.”
Venus took out a map of the ‘Liger’ planet from subspace and handed it to Elvis.
“…What is this?”
Thi s w a s c o p i e d fr o m k ingmt l.org
“It’s a map of the ‘Liger’ planet. And the first nation you’ll invade is the ‘Hammer’ Kingdom, so keep that in mind.”
T h is wa s c o pi e d f r o m k in gm t l . or g
“The ‘Hammer’ Kingdom…”
“Information about the nation is attached at the back, so look it over and plan your invasion.”
Elvis stared at the map he received for a while, then said,
“If we start with this kind of information, there’s no way we can fail the invasion.”
He raised one corner of his mouth, showing strong confidence in the success of the invasion.
“How much time do you need?”
“It’s 10 times larger than our planet, so I think we’ll need a month to make a perfect plan.”
“Then we’ll start the expedition in a month.”
“I’m eternally grateful for your infinite consideration, Demon Lord.”
As Elvis left the throne room to plan the invasion,
“Is it okay to leave the invasion entirely to Elvis?”
Venus expressed her concern about Elvis.
“Are you worried?”
“Yes, I’m a little worried.”
“Don’t worry. He already proved himself during the invasion of ‘Dainik’ planet.”
Jung Minwoo dispelled Venus’s worries by mentioning Elvis’s achievements.
‘Achievements don’t lie.’
He had succeeded in an invasion under unfavorable conditions, so there was no reason why he couldn’t invade under better circumstances.
“Well, in a way, the invasion of ‘Liger’ planet might not be that difficult.”
Soon, Venus agreed with Jung Minwoo’s words and shook off her worries.
Th i s w a s c op i e d f r o m k i n gmt l . o rg
“And if the invasion falters, we can just step in and take command.”
“That’s true.”
“Are you guys worried about anything?”
Jung Minwoo asked, looking at the Demon Communion members.
“…No, it was just resolved.”
“Not at all?”
“I trust Minwoo completely! Ribbit, ribbit.”
The Demon Communion members replied that they had no worries.
“Then, shall we go summon the monsters?”
“Okay.”
Afterwards, Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members, guided by the mage Elvis had assigned, headed towards the ruined kingdom.
“We’ve arrived.”
They arrived at the ruined kingdom, guided by the mage.
‘It’s hard to tell if it’s a forest or a kingdom.’
Thi s w a s c o p i e d f r o m ki n gmt l . o r g
Having been left unattended for over 100 years, they could see that grass had grown thick and lush.
“Can you get rid of these weeds?”
Jung Minwoo pointed to the overgrown weeds and asked the mage.
“Of course.”
The mage replied as if it was nothing, stepping forward.
“Limited Wish.”
As he waved his hand and cast the spell,
T h i s w as co p i ed f r o m ki n g m tl . o r g
Shuuuuuush―
The overgrown weeds shrank and disappeared, and then,
Kuku쿵―
Crackle, crackle―
The buildings, blackened and broken, began to return to their original state.
‘Being a 9th Class, he uses magic effortlessly.’
The legendary realm was different indeed, as he cast 7th Class magic as easily as breathing.
About 30 minutes passed.
“Not only the weeds, but I’ve also restored the buildings to their best condition for the monsters to use comfortably.”
The mage bowed and reported.
“Good work.”
Jung Minwoo patted the mage’s shoulder.
“T-Thank you!”
The mage seemed overwhelmed with joy at being touched by Jung Minwoo.
‘…His reaction is too much.’
Jung Minwoo quickly withdrew his hand at the excessive reaction and said,
“Please guide me to the vault.”
“Leave it to me!”
Following the mage, they entered the royal palace.
“This is the royal vault.”
They arrived at the vault.
‘With this amount of gold and jewels, it’s more than enough to summon them.’
Jung Minwoo took out a parchment from his pocket and said to the mage,
“Sign here.”
“We have to draw up a contract even though it’s unclaimed property?”
“I can only summon monsters through transactions.”
“I understand.”
After listening to the explanation, the mage picked up a pen and signed the parchment.
Slide―
T hi s w a s c o p i e d f r om k i n g m tl . or g
The mountain of valuables melted away and disappeared without a trace.
Crackle, crackle―
Then, the air shimmered, and a black space appeared. At the same time,
Step, step, step―
A Black Goblin walked out first, followed by other monsters.
“We greet our master!”
Jung Minwoo received the Black Goblin’s greeting and said,
“This place is cramped, so let’s move outside.”
As they led the monsters out of the royal palace,
“Wow…”
“This is where we’ll be living?”
“It’s so nice!”
“We get to use this entire place?”
The five Demon Beasts following behind exclaimed in admiration, scanning their surroundings.
“Since we’re moving our base, I had to do this much.”
“””Master…”””
The Demon Beasts looked touched by Jung Minwoo’s words.
“Instead of spacing out, get a hold of yourselves and lead the monsters.”
“””Y-Yes, sir!”””
The Demon Beasts came to their senses and began to lead the monsters, following Jung Minwoo’s orders.
‘This should be enough to accommodate everyone.’
The place where Jung Minwoo arrived with the monsters was a plaza within the city.
As he climbed onto the platform in the plaza,
Thud, thud, thud.
The gaze of all the monsters in the plaza focused on Jung Minwoo.
Th is w a s c o pi ed f r o m k i n g mt l . o r g
Jung Minwoo scanned the monsters once and then,
“As you can see, you’ll be living here for a while.”
He spoke with demonic energy infused in his voice so that all 10 million could hear.
“I said for a while, but in reality, we don’t know how many years you’ll be here.”
At his words that they might be there indefinitely, the monsters tilted their heads in confusion. Then,
“Because you’ll only be able to return to your original home after invading a planet called ‘Liger’.”
Jung Minwoo informed them that they would be invading a new planet.
“””!!!”””
At the word “invasion,” greed flickered in the eyes of the monsters, and at the same time,
Smirk―
A deep smile spread across their mouths.
Living in a world of survival of the fittest, invasion was a word that stimulated their primal instincts.
Moreover, they couldn’t help but feel pleased as it was an opportunity for them to grow through invasion.
“So, build your strength and power here. I’ll deploy you to invade the planet when I judge that you’re fully prepared.”
Jung Minwoo conveyed all the information and stepped down from the platform.
“””Wooaaaaaaah!!!”””
The monsters roared with fanatical eyes.
A month later.
“All preparations are complete.”
Elvis visited the throne room and reported that the invasion preparations were complete.
“Good. How many troops are you planning to deploy?”
“Considering that the ‘Hammer’ Kingdom is a small island nation and its military is insignificant, I’ve only deployed 200.”
“Isn’t 200 too few?”
“100 Grand Sword Masters and 100 9th Class mages are being deployed, so there’s no problem.”
“With that number, there shouldn’t be any issues.”
Jung Minwoo, having heard the report, was about to get up from his seat to go invade the ‘Liger’ planet when,
“Demon Lord, may I make a request?”
“What request?”
“Could you lead the expedition ceremony to boost morale?”
Elvis requested an expedition ceremony in a cautious voice.
‘An expedition ceremony…’
Jung Minwoo stroked his chin, lost in thought for a moment.
‘If it can boost morale, it’s better to do it.’
If this could boost morale and make the invasion easier, he could do it as many times as needed.
“I’ll do that.”
Finishing his thoughts, he informed Elvis that he would lead the expedition ceremony.
“Thank you!!!”
Elvis bowed deeply, expressing his gratitude.
“I can grant you this much, so don’t hesitate to ask.”
“Understood.”
“Where are the troops gathered?”
“They are waiting at the training grounds within the Imperial Palace.”
“Good, lead the way.”
“Right this way.”
When they reached the training grounds, guided by Elvis,
“Let’s stop for a moment.”
Jung Minwoo stopped Elvis.
“Is there a problem?”
At Elvis’s question, Jung Minwoo shook his head and replied,
“It’s an expedition ceremony, so I need to appear in a manner befitting the occasion.”
“Isn’t your presence already more than enough?”
At Elvis’s sincere words, Jung Minwoo couldn’t find a proper answer and coughed awkwardly, saying,
“There’s something like that, so wait a moment.”
“Understood.”
After looking away from Elvis, Jung Minwoo pondered what form he should appear in.
‘It would be good to give an unapproachable image.’
Of course, just revealing himself would give an unapproachable feeling, but…
‘If I’m going to do it, I might as well do it right.’
Since he was in charge of the expedition ceremony, he wanted to boost morale as much as possible.
‘Would that form be good after all?’
Jung Minwoo thought that using ‘Ultimate Evolution’ wouldn’t be a bad idea.
‘Since it’s a planet I’ve already invaded, there’s no penalty for revealing my full power, so it should be fine.’
Having finished his contemplation, Jung Minwoo immediately copied Rok’s unique trait, ‘Ultimate Evolution’.
