The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 132

Chapter 132: Elvenheim (2)

Elvenheim.

Th i s was co p i e d f r om kin g mt l.or g
The only kingdom on ‘Liger’ planet where the Elf race gathers to live.

In the past, they had a time of glory, but they were pushed back by the Beastmen and relegated to a life of hiding.

‘I was told they are now in a completely precarious situation.’

Jung Minwoo fell into thought, recalling the information about ‘Elvenheim’.

‘But even so, I was told the Elves are mentally victorious, believing they can regain their glory anytime they want.’

However, the reality is that they are often captured by the Beastmen and forced into slavery.

‘They are said to be cowering even more, turning a blind eye to such reality.’

The Elves know their territory is shrinking, but they don’t think of resisting and are just stuck in the forest.

In other words, it meant they were being eliminated from this world.

‘If left alone, it seems like they might go extinct within 100 years.’

As he organized his thoughts and moved on.

‘We’ve arrived.’

Before he knew it, he had arrived at Elvenheim, the kingdom of the Elves.

As he landed on the ground and looked around.

‘As expected of a race specialized in nature.’

There were no buildings made of iron to be found. Everything was made of wood or grass.

‘…And there are only adults.’

Also, looking at the passing Elves, there were no children, only grown adults.

‘And the number is quite small.’

Looking at the number of people, there seemed to be only about 50,000 at most.

‘Hmm, should I corrupt them?’
T h i s w a s co p ied f r o m ki n g m t l . o rg

At that moment, when he was seriously contemplating whether he should corrupt them or not due to their unexpectedly hopeless appearance.

“Minwoo, these guys all have long ears! Ribbit, ribbit.”

Rok spoke to him, expressing his admiration as if he found it fascinating.

‘Didn’t you see them on ‘Dainik’ planet?’

Although they are extinct now, there were Elves present during the invasion.

“Is this your first time seeing Elves?”

Jung Minwoo asked Rok, feeling puzzled.

“Yeah, I couldn’t see them because I was in the throne room during the ‘Dainik’ planet invasion. Ribbit, ribbit!”

“Ah, right.”

Rok’s answer made him understand why he was reacting this way.

‘I was the only one who saw Elves.’

When the Jungsin Cult members were in the throne room, he was the only demon who had seen the Elves because he was wandering around alone.

‘He’ll go crazy when he sees the Dwarves.’

T hi s w as c o p ie d f r o m k i n g mtl . o r g
He wondered what kind of reaction Rok would have when he saw the Dwarves.

“Their hearing developed to survive in the wild, so they evolved to have long ears.”

He briefly explained to Rok the reason why Elves have long ears.

“Oh, so they can evolve that way too. Ribbit, ribbit.”

Rok nodded his head as if he understood.

Then, Anubis, who was next to Rok, kept looking around and.

“Oh, there’s a huge tree over there.”

She pointed at the giant tree in the center and spoke.

“That’s…”

The moment Jung Minwoo was about to answer to resolve Anubis’s curiosity.

“…That’s called the ‘World Tree’.”

Elin stepped forward and answered first.

“World Tree?”

“…Yes, it acts as the mother of the Elves and the elixir of life.”

“Mother? You mean the Elves came out through that tree?”

“…Yes, that’s right.”

After listening to the explanation, Anubis stared at the World Tree as if she found it fascinating, and then she asked Elin the next question.

“I understand it’s a mother, but why does it also act as the elixir of life?”

“…Elves will become sick and die if they don’t have the World Tree.”

“Die?”

“…Yes, Elves maintain their lives by sharing the nutrients of the World Tree, so they die without it.”

Th is w a s copi e d from k i n gm t l . o r g
At Elin’s explanation, Anubis furrowed her brow and said.

“So, you’re saying they can’t even use their power and die without that tree?”

“…That’s right.”

“They all die if you just cut down that tree. Isn’t that too big of a weakness?”

“…That’s right.”

“With such a big weakness, is there even a need to corrupt them?”

“…”

At the unexpected question, Elin stopped explaining and pursed her lips.

She had a lot to say but seemed to have difficulty explaining.

Flick―

Elin then looked at him, sending a silent look asking him to explain instead.

‘She explained quite well up to this point.’

It could be considered a significant development that Elin, who is not talkative, explained this much.

He also realized how serious Elin was about ‘Elves’.

‘Come to think of it, she said she wanted to invade a planet with Elves since we were at the training center, right?’

Since it was a race she always wanted to corrupt, she must have done a lot of research.

‘She’ll be very disappointed if I say I won’t corrupt them, right?’

It seemed like it would be quite cute to imagine Elin’s sullen face, but.

‘Alright, I decided to broaden the range of races, so I should corrupt them.’

T h is w as c op i ed f r o m ki n gm t l . o r g
He didn’t want to be hated for no reason, so he decided to corrupt the Elves since he had come this far.

“There are definite drawbacks, but there are also definite advantages.”

Stepping in for Elin, he explained to Anubis.

“Advantages?”

Anubis tilted her head and asked.

“Elves have a lifespan 30 times longer than other races, and they show exceptional talent in handling mana, spirits, and bows.”
T h is w a s c o p i e d f ro m k i ng m t l . o r g

He explained that the advantages are as great as the disadvantages.

“If they’re that strong, why were they pushed back by the Beastmen?”

She asked why the Elves had declined.

“Because they hardly engage in breeding activities, their population has decreased exponentially. On the other hand, the Beastmen have active breeding activities, and since they have a large population, they couldn’t help but be pushed back.”

“Isn’t breeding activity one of the three basic desires of higher beings?”

“That’s true, but the Elf race doesn’t have much of a desire for breeding.”

“Why?”

“It’s partly because they have a greater desire to serve the World Tree instead of breeding, and above all, due to their racial characteristics, the probability of having children is extremely low.”

The pregnancy rate for Elves is 0.002%.

Considering that the human pregnancy rate is 2-4%, it showed how extremely low the probability was.

“There’s the drawback of a small population, but if we make them into Demon Servants, we can create an elite force.”

“…Right, right.”

Elin nodded her head repeatedly in agreement with Jung Minwoo’s explanation.

“That’s true. A race that is proficient in mana, spirits, and bows is not common.”

After listening to the explanation, Anubis responded as if she completely understood.

“So, let’s corrupt some good ones this time and increase our power.”

“Sounds good.”

“…Yes.”
Th i s wa s c o p i e d f r om k i n g m t l . o rg

“Let’s corrupt them all.”

“Let’s find some guys like ‘William’ and ‘Elvis’ this time too. Ribbit, ribbit!”

T his w a s c o p i e d f ro m ki n g m t l . o r g
At Jung Minwoo’s following words, the Jungsin Cult members clenched their fists, burning with enthusiasm.

‘Then, shall we check the level of the Elves first?’

Jung Minwoo looked at a passing Elf and used ‘Heaven’s Eye’.

『Information Window』

〈Basic Information〉

Name: None

Title: Ramesses

Gender: Male

Age: 800 years old

〈Detailed Information〉

Alignment: Neutral

Talent: 【Mana Affinity】, 【Spirit Affinity】, 【Archery Prodigy】

Current Emotion: Anxiety

‘As expected of an Elf, they have many talents.’

Having three talents wasn’t easy, so they could be considered a truly outstanding race.

‘Should I check out the others too?’

He then checked the information of other Elves.

【Swordsmanship Prodigy】, 【Brawler】, 【Cold-Hearted Mind】…

Higher beings with considerable talent had other talents listed after the first three.

‘If I can corrupt them, they would be a great asset when invading planets.’

If ordinary Elves were at this level, he became curious about what the royal family, the High Elves, would be like.

‘Shall we move to the royal palace?’

The moment Jung Minwoo was about to take a step to see the High Elves.

‘Wait a minute…’

The World Tree standing in the center caught his eye.

‘Wouldn’t I be able to see the World Tree’s information as well?’

The World Tree is not an ordinary plant, but an existence with enormous vitality and a self.

‘I think I can definitely see it, right?’

In a way, it could be classified as a higher being, so he wondered if he could see its information through Heaven’s Eye.
T h is w a s c op ied f ro m k in g mtl. or g

‘Alright, let’s see.’

Instead of pondering, he decided to check with his own eyes and used ‘Heaven’s Eye’.

【Loading information for ‘None’】

The higher being’s information window appeared.

『Information Window』

〈Basic Information〉

Name: None

Title: World Tree

Gender: Female

Age: 8,000 years old

〈Detailed Information〉

Alignment: Neutral

Talent: 【Unstable Creation】

Current Emotion: None

After checking the information window, Jung Minwoo’s gaze lingered on the age for a moment.

‘8,000 years old?’

8,000 years old.

It was only 2,000 years younger than Baal, the number one Demon Lord.

‘Well, considering Baal has lived for hundreds of thousands of years, it’s meaningless to compare them by age.’

A demon’s age is calculated based on the Demon World’s time axis, so it could only be measured as less than the actual time they’ve lived.

‘Even I have lived for hundreds of years, but according to the Demon World’s time axis, I’m only seven years old…’

Looking away from the age, he checked the next piece of information.

‘Unstable Creation? What kind of effect is that?’

Jung Minwoo felt curious about the talent ‘Unstable Creation’ and checked its effect.
T h i s w a s co p ied f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g

【Unstable Creation】

Can create up to 100 creatures.

However, it is unstable, so power must be shared regularly for the creatures to survive.

Also, if the creator dies, all the creations will die.

‘So that’s why it’s Unstable Creation.’

After reading the effect, Jung Minwoo could understand why the Elves would become sick and die without the World Tree.

‘It’s unstable, but the effect is insane.’

Although limited to 100 creatures, being able to create whatever creatures he wanted was a huge advantage.

‘Then… wouldn’t there be no need to corrupt the Elves? I can just corrupt the World Tree, right?’

Jung Minwoo changed the target of corruption from the Elves to the World Tree.

‘If I corrupt the World Tree, the Elves will follow naturally, so I won’t need to put in extra effort.’

It seemed like a pretty good plan for something he came up with on the spot.

‘If I succeed in corrupting it, wouldn’t the invasion of ‘Liger’ planet be quite easy?’

After finishing organizing his thoughts, Jung Minwoo looked at the Jungsin Cult members and said.

“Let’s go corrupt it.”

At Jung Minwoo’s words, Venus approached him and asked.

“Are you going to the royal family?”

Jung Minwoo shook his head at Venus’s question and answered.

“No, to the World Tree.”

“Are you thinking of corrupting the Elf near the World Tree?”

“No, I’m going to corrupt the World Tree.”

“…The World Tree? Can you even corrupt plants?”

At her question, Jung Minwoo explained what he had thought.

“…Indeed, as Minwoo-nim said, if it works, we can bring the Elves under our control without any effort.”

She expressed her admiration and supported Jung Minwoo’s plan.

“…That’s an unexpected method. I think it’s a good idea to corrupt the World Tree.”

And Elin, who was listening to the conversation, also expressed her agreement with sparkling eyes.

“I don’t know what it is, but let’s just corrupt it quickly.”

“As expected, Minwoo! Ribbit, ribbit.”

Anubis and Rok showed a reaction as if they didn’t care either way.

“Alright, then let’s move to corrupt the World Tree.”

Afterwards, Jung Minwoo and the Jungsin Cult members moved to corrupt the World Tree.
