The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 130

Chapter 130: The Fall of Hammer Kingdom (2)

“A guy with such thoughts is a knight? This family’s standards are clear.”

Thud!

Arnold kicked the corpse lying on the floor and spoke to the mage standing behind him.

“Let’s go inside.”

“Understood.”

After entering the mansion.

“Two knights have been killed!”
T hi s w as c o pie d f r om k ingm t l . o rg

“We’re, we’re under attack!”

“The enemy consists of two individuals!”

The Dwarves belatedly realized the intrusion and began to respond.

“Only, only two? Kill them!”

“This is not a place for humans to set foot!”

The knights bravely charged to kill the intruders, but.

“The insects are buzzing.”

Slash!

With a single swing of Arnold’s sword, their bodies crumbled helplessly.

“I couldn’t even see the sword…”

“His skills are considerable…”

They could have been terrified by the overwhelming force and run away, but.

“Don’t give up!”

“They’ll get tired too!”
T h i s w a s copi e d f r o m ki n g m tl . org

“For the Penlip family!”

Perhaps their sense of chivalry was strong, as they did not flee and continued to attack.

“Unlike the guy from before, it seems like your spirit is in the right place…”

Slash!

“But that’s not a reason for me to spare you.”

However, their fate of meeting death with a single sword strike remained unchanged.

The mage, who was watching Arnold from behind, spoke up.

“Arnold-nim, I will find the blacksmith and bring him here.”

Perhaps his body was itching for action, as he proposed to Arnold that he would move separately.

“Alright, moving separately would save time.”

Arnold agreed to the proposal, thinking that he didn’t need the mage’s help to bring down the family.

“It’s unlikely, but if you encounter a strong enemy, don’t fight and come straight back here.”

A strong enemy.

The strong enemy Arnold was referring to was a ‘Grand Sword Master’ or a ‘9th Class Mage’, but.

‘There’s no way, such a skilled person exists here.’

It was highly unlikely that someone who had surpassed that level would be here.

Still, just in case, Arnold gave the mage a warning beforehand.

“…I don’t think that will happen. But I will be careful.”

“Go ahead.”

The mage bowed his head to Arnold and then.

“Teleport.”

As soon as he used the magic.

Pop!

The figure disappeared along with a blue light.

“It seems like he’ll catch him quickly, so should I hurry up and finish things here?”

Just as Arnold was about to move to kill all the remaining Dwarves inside the mansion.

“Stop!”

A knight with an unusual aura blocked his path.
Thi s w a s c opi e d fr o m k i n g m tl. o r g

‘This energy?’

Arnold looked at the Dwarf blocking his way with narrowed eyes.

‘He’s a fledgling.’

He could tell that the knight had just entered the beginning stages of ‘Sword Master’.

‘I wonder if he can entertain me a little?’

If it were back on Dainik planet, this would be a level he wouldn’t even glance at, but since this was the first ‘Sword Master’ he had encountered on Liger planet, he decided to play with him a little.

“If you lay down your sword and surrender now, I will show mercy and kill you quickly.”

Arnold let out a derisive laugh at the truly arrogant statement.

“Interesting.”

No one on Dainik planet could have made such a remark to him, so he found the current situation refreshing.

“What’s so interesting?”

The knight asked, his expression hardening as if he found Arnold’s laughter offensive.

“Your confidence stemming from your ignorance is interesting.”

“Hmph, we’ll see when we cross swords.”

Shing!

The knight, as if he didn’t want to hear Arnold’s words anymore, drew his sword from its scabbard.

“I’ll cut off your arms and legs. And then I’ll torture you!”

Dash!

The knight moved at high speed, instantly appearing behind Arnold.

“Haa!”

He created an Aura Blade and swung his sword at Arnold.

Whoosh!

Arnold didn’t react at all, even as the sword was heading towards his arm.

He was worried that it might be a strong enemy, but the feeling was off.

‘As expected, he’s all talk!’

Seeing that Arnold didn’t react at all, the knight was convinced that he was bluffing.

‘Pay the price for killing my subordinates!’

Just as the sword was about to touch Arnold’s arm.

Slash!

“…Huh?”

Spurt!

The knight’s wrists were severed, and a fountain of blood gushed out.

“H-How?”

The knight expressed his disbelief at being attacked.

“I just cut off your wrists, there’s nothing to answer if you ask how I did it.”

Arnold replied with an expression that said, ‘Why are you asking something so obvious?’

‘…No way.’

Seeing that, a hypothesis formed in the Dwarf’s mind.

Movements so fast that he, a Sword Master, couldn’t follow.

An energy level no different from an ordinary person.

“…Grand Sword Master?”

The hypothesis that the enemy before him had reached the level where he could freely alter the course of history.

“Unlike your lack of awareness, you have a bit of perception.”

And that hypothesis was quite accurate.

“Thanks to you, I was able to enjoy some meager entertainment, so I’ll kill you quickly.”

T h is w a s c op i e d f ro m k i n g m t l . o r g
Just as Arnold was about to swing his sword and pierce the Dwarf’s forehead.

“…There was a human who reached this level besides the Beastmen?”

A rather interesting story came out of the Dwarf’s mouth.

‘Oh? It seems there’s someone with a high level on this planet.’

He briefly stopped his attack and considered asking about the being, but.

‘It would be more fun to find him myself.’
Thi s w a s c o pie d from k i ng m t l . o r g

If the Dwarf knew about him, he must be quite famous, so finding him wouldn’t be difficult. He decided to just kill him.

Stab!

“Ugh!”

He pierced the Dwarf’s head as it was.

“Now, shall we continue cleaning up?”

Arnold moved to finish off the remaining Dwarves.

Ten minutes later.

When he had killed all the Dwarves except for the head of the Penlip family.

“I’m back.”

The mage appeared, accompanied by ten Dwarves.

“The number seems smaller than expected?”

At Arnold’s question, the mage shrugged as if it were nothing.

“I thought we wouldn’t need the riffraff. I killed everyone except the high-ranking ones.”

“We can make mediocre weapons ourselves. It doesn’t matter if they’re dead.”

Arnold agreed with the mage’s explanation and nodded.

“Then, let’s check the family vault.”

“I’m looking forward to that.”

Being a race skilled in crafting, they would be storing some pretty good equipment or artifacts in their vault.

“Where is the family vault?”

Arnold asked, turning his gaze to the captured head of the family.

“…Do you think I’ll tell you?”

The head of the family, as if he had no intention of talking, replied while gritting his teeth.

“Is that so?”

Arnold, as if he had expected this, turned his gaze to the mage.

“I’ll check. ESP.”

T h is w as c o p i e d f r o m k i n g m t l .o r g
The mage placed his hand on the head of the family and cast the magic.

“Let’s go. I’ll guide you.”

He grasped the location of the vault in just one second and offered to guide them.

“…What? The vault is off-limits!!!”

The head of the family, realizing it wasn’t a joke, tried to dissuade them with veins bulging in his neck, but.

“I hope there are some useful weapons.”

“I agree.”

Arnold and the mage had no intention of listening to him.

Entering the vault, the two.

“…Amazing.”

“Indeed.”

They realized they had underestimated the Dwarves’ crafting abilities.

“To think that such treasures would be abundant in the vault of a mere family…”

It was understandable, as equipment and artifacts that would only be found in the Imperial Vault were present in the vault of a single family.

“His Majesty will be pleased to see this.”

“With equipment like this, our forces will be incredibly strengthened.”

Arnold picked up a famous sword displayed in the center.

Grab!

He could feel the immense power inherent in the sword.

“It seems the rumors about them being a renowned sword-making family are true.”

Arnold smiled with satisfaction, drew the sword from its scabbard, and equipped a new one.

‘With this, I can overcome the restricted power and then some.’

With this famous sword, he would be able to easily handle even the Beastman who had reached the ‘Grand Sword Master’ level.

‘Should I check the sword’s performance?’

There was a big difference between seeing it with his eyes and experiencing it firsthand, so he decided to try it out.

Shing!

As he drew the sword from its scabbard.

‘As expected of a famous sword, huh?’

It boasted an elegant appearance while emanating a powerful aura.

‘I want to swing it, but I should hold back.’

If he couldn’t control his urge and swung it, the vault might be destroyed, so he decided to restrain himself.

Instead of swinging, Arnold activated an Aura Blade on the sword.

Whoosh!

An Aura Blade several times stronger than the amount he had outputted enveloped the sword.

‘The more I look at it, the more amazing it is.’

As Arnold was admiring the sword, lost in thought.

“Arnold-nim.”

The mage approached and spoke to him.

“What is it?”

“I have recorded all the equipment and artifacts in the vault. I think we can move to the next destination now.”

Arnold clicked his tongue in disappointment, sheathed the sword, and said.

“Really? Let’s move right away.”

“Yes, I will guide you.”

“I hope the other families have treasures like this as well.”

Arnold and the mage left the Penlip family and moved to their next destination.

A week later.

Arnold and his subordinates succeeded in invading the Hammer Kingdom and reported this to Elvis via letter.
T h is w a s co p i e d f r o m ki n g m tl . o r g

Upon receiving the letter, Elvis confirmed its contents and immediately went to the Demon Lords to report.

“I received a letter from Arnold stating that he has invaded the Hammer Kingdom.”

“It took a little longer than I expected.”

Jung Minwoo said, stroking his chin after receiving the report.

“It took some time, but according to the letter, it seems like they gained a lot.”

“What did they gain?”

“First, they secured a large number of craftsmen.”

“We can worry less about equipment in the future.”

“Also, they obtained a large number of treasures from the family vaults and the royal vault, further strengthening our forces.”

At the mention of increased strength, Jung Minwoo’s eyes sparkled as he asked.

“How much stronger have they become?”

“According to Arnold, they can not only offset the restricted power but also draw out even greater strength.”

In other words, it meant that the power restriction beyond the portal had practically disappeared.

“They certainly gained a lot.”

“It was all possible thanks to your foresight, Demon Lord-nim, in choosing the Hammer Kingdom as the first target of invasion.”

T h i s w a s c opi e d f r om ki n g mt l . o r g
Jung Minwoo chuckled at the praise and said.
T h is w a s c o p i ed f r om k i n g m tl .o rg

“No, it’s because you meticulously planned the operation that we were able to reap such benefits.”

T h is w a s cop ie d f ro m k in g mt l . o r g
“Not at all. I just did what I had to do.”

Jung Minwoo smiled faintly at his humble attitude, unchanged even after hundreds of years.

“By the way. When are you planning to send the troops?”

“I plan to arm the troops and send them the next day.”

“How many?”

“All of them.”

“All of them?”

“Yes, the plan is to strike quickly and invade before other nations catch on.”

Currently, the forces on Dainik planet numbered 1 billion.

It was too large a number to send all at once.

“Do you have enough ships to handle that?”

“We may not be able to accommodate 1 billion at once, but it should be fine if we send them in waves.”

The ships built by the Dwarves would be able to accommodate a considerable number of personnel.

“Alright. Let’s head out with them tomorrow when you send the troops.”

“I will prepare diligently.”

And the next day.

The full-scale invasion of Liger planet began.
