The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 134
Chapter 134: Elvenheim (4)
For a moment, Jung Minwoo was bewildered by the countless message windows popping up.
‘What do they say?’
Jung Minwoo slowly read through the content of the message windows.
‘My Rank has risen, and I’ve slightly broken free from the shackles of mortality?’
He didn’t understand what it meant to break free from the shackles, but…
‘Aging won’t come, and I won’t be restricted by lifespan until I die…?’
Looking at the next message window, he could understand what it meant.
‘…This is insane, isn’t it?’
Even though it was a temporary removal of lifespan restrictions, it meant he could live forever as long as he didn’t die.
‘If this is the case, I’ll become incredibly powerful later on, right?’
If he periodically shared his power with the World Tree, he would gain overwhelming strength that Higher Beings couldn’t even approach as time passed.
‘Will William and Elvis also be able to…?’
If this applied to ‘William’, who invaded Yurain planet, and ‘Elvis’, who invaded Dainik planet, it would be a great help in future planetary invasions.
‘I’ll have to check this out myself later.’
Continuing to check the other message windows…
‘Talent has changed to a Unique Trait…?’
He could see that the World Tree’s talent had undergone a change.
T h i s w a s c o pi e d fr o m k i n gmtl. o rg
‘This is crazy…?’
You might wonder what the difference between talent and Unique Trait is.
Talent refers to something you’re born with that’s better than other Higher Beings, but a Unique Trait is recognized as an inherent ability, so its effect is bound to be superior.
‘And a new Unique Trait has been added…’
After checking all the message windows that popped up, Jung Minwoo thought…
‘…This is like the universe pushing me to invade planets quickly, isn’t it?’
He was convinced that he could drastically shorten the time frame for the invasion of ‘Liger’ planet.
‘…It’s too early to be sure, but it might be possible to shorten it by up to 20 years.’
Of course, 20 years was based on ‘Dainik’ planet’s time axis, not the Demon World’s time axis.
‘First, should I check the World Tree’s information again?’
Jung Minwoo decided to see what kind of Unique Trait the World Tree had acquired and activated ‘Heaven’s Eye’.
【Loading information of ‘None’】
The information window of a Higher Being appeared.
『Information Window』
〈Basic Information〉
Name: None
Title: World Tree
Gender: Female
Age: 8,000 years old
〈Detailed Information〉
Alignment: Neutral
Unique Traits: 【Clumsy Creation】, 【Physical Body】
Current Emotion: Joy
‘…Clumsy Creation? Did the name change because it became a Unique Trait?’
Since it had become a Unique Trait, the effect would have changed as well, so Jung Minwoo decided to check ‘Clumsy Creation’ first.
【Clumsy Creation】
Can create up to 1,000 robust creations.
However, due to its clumsiness, it must periodically share its power to sustain life.
Furthermore, if the creator dies, all creations will perish.
‘…The effect is insane, isn’t it?’
Seeing the effect, Jung Minwoo couldn’t help but admire it inwardly.
T hi s w a s c o pi ed f r o m k in g m tl. o r g
The content didn’t seem to have changed much, but…
‘The number of individuals has increased to 1,000. And creating robust creations…’
Looking closely, you could see how much it had changed.
‘Seeing how much it’s improved, I’m looking forward to the next Unique Trait.’
Jung Minwoo then clicked on the Unique Trait ‘Physical Body’ to check its effect.
【Physical Body】
Obtains a physical body capable of walking.
A fairly simple description.
‘The description is short, but the effect is amazing.’
Obtaining a physical body meant that the World Tree could participate in wars, which significantly increased its usefulness.
‘From now on, we can use the World Tree on the front lines to invade planets.’
Jung Minwoo smiled at the unexpected gain.
Just as he was about to contemplate how to utilize the World Tree…
“…I feel a bit better now.”
The World Tree seemed to have recovered and rose from her spot.
“How’s your body?”
Jung Minwoo asked, and the World Tree replied with a much brighter face.
“It’s perfect.”
“That’s good to hear.”
“And I can feel that my Rank has risen even further. As expected, contracting with you… no, Master, was the right choice.”
“See? I told you you wouldn’t regret it.”
“…That’s true. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.”
Receiving the World Tree’s gratitude, Jung Minwoo shrugged his shoulders and said,
“If you’re grateful, make sure you contribute to the planetary invasion.”
“That’s exactly what I wanted.”
“Then, shall we leave the Mental World?”
“Let’s do that.”
Jung Minwoo opened his eyes after leaving the Mental World.
“Congratulations on successfully corrupting her.”
Venus congratulated him on corrupting the World Tree.
“Hmm? How did you know?”
He wondered how she knew since the contract was made within the Mental World.
Th is w a s c o pied fro m ki n gm tl . o r g
“I saw the World Tree engulfed in black flames.”
Venus kindly explained how she found out.
“So there was quite a commotion here.”
“A commotion?”
“Yes, the elves poured a lot of water trying to extinguish the fire.”
“Ah… I guess they could misunderstand that.”
It was inevitable for there to be a commotion if she was suddenly engulfed in black flames.
“Did you gain anything from contracting with the World Tree?”
“Well, about that…”
Just as he was about to answer Venus’s question…
Rumble―!
A tremendous tremor began to be felt from the ground.
‘Hmm?’
He turned his gaze to find the source of the vibration.
Rumble―!
The giant tree, the World Tree, was shaking madly.
“Wh, what’s happening?!”
“The, the World Tree-nim?!”
“Calm the earth down with spirits right now!!”
“She must be angry with us!”
The elves around were panicking and unable to do anything when…
Flash―!
An intense light burst from the World Tree, and then…
Softly―
When the light subsided, there was a woman standing there instead of the giant tree.
‘…World Tree?’
Jung Minwoo tilted his head unconsciously as he looked at the woman.
He knew that she could obtain a physical body due to the Unique Trait ‘Physical Body’, but…
‘Her appearance has changed, hasn’t it?’
He hadn’t expected it to be 180 degrees different from what he saw in the Mental World.
Her green hair had turned black, and her hazy green eyes had transformed into purple eyes – violet eyes.
He could also see that a small black horn had sprouted on her forehead.
It was like a demonized version of an elf.
‘…Why did her appearance change?’
He was puzzled by the sudden change in appearance, but…
‘Was it because it was the Mental World that there was no change?’
He quickly figured out the reason.
“It’s so beautiful to see the world with my own eyes after only feeling it through energy.”
The World Tree started looking around with an excited expression.
‘Is she looking for me?’
Currently, Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members hadn’t revealed themselves, so the World Tree couldn’t find them.
“Let’s reveal ourselves.”
As Jung Minwoo revealed himself along with the Demon Communion members…
“Ah, you were here.”
The World Tree approached them with a bright smile.
“Other Demon-nims are here too. It’s an honor to meet you.”
Seeing that other Demons were present, the World Tree bowed her head gracefully and greeted them.
“Nice to meet you.”
“…Hello.”
Venus and Elin readily accepted the World Tree’s greeting, while…
“She wasn’t like this just a while ago, how did her Rank increase so suddenly?”
“Yeah, can Rank increase so rapidly? Ribbit, ribbit.”
Anubis and Rok expressed their bewilderment while looking at the World Tree.
“My Rank has risen slightly thanks to Master.”
This wa s co pi e d f r o m k i n gmt l. or g
At the World Tree’s answer, the Demon Communion members turned their gaze towards Jung Minwoo.
Their eyes asked for an explanation.
“I’ll explain everything.”
Jung Minwoo intended to share all the information, so he was about to explain everything even if they didn’t ask.
“It seems like the explanation will be a bit long, is there anywhere we can go in?”
T h is w a s co p ie d f rom k i n gm t l . o r g
He asked the World Tree to guide them to a place where they could talk.
Th i s wa s c o pi ed f rom k ing m t l . o rg
“Children, please guide us to the Royal Palace.”
The World Tree shifted her gaze towards the elves and gave an order.
Then, the elves, who had been lost in thought, came to their senses and…
T h i s w a s c op ie d fr o m k i n g m t l. o r g
“””We will escort you!!!”””
They knelt on one knee and responded energetically.
“Heheh, I’ll be counting on you.”
Afterwards, Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members were escorted into the Royal Palace with the utmost care by the elves.
After entering the Royal Palace…
“So this is the kind of change that occurs when you receive demonic energy from a High-ranking Demon while you have a high Rank.”
“…I want to become a High-ranking Demon quickly too.”
“Oh, so I can create subordinates like this when I become a High-ranking Demon?”
“As expected of Minwoo! Ribbit, ribbit.”
The Demon Communion members, after hearing the entire explanation, expressed their admiration and reacted in their own ways.
“So I think we can significantly speed up the invasion of ‘Liger’ planet.”
“…Will it be possible to speed up the invasion with such a small number of people?”
To Venus’s question, Jung Minwoo replied with a confident expression.
“Yes, it’s definitely possible.”
T his w as c o p ie d fro m k i n g m t l . o r g
And he explained why they could speed up the planetary invasion.
“The first reason is that the World Tree possesses the power of a one-person army.”
Currently, if the World Tree’s level was compared to a swordsman, it was ‘Grand Sword Master’ or even higher.
“The second reason is that she has a Unique Trait for creating creatures.”
Since she could create robust creatures, they could invade quickly with the World Tree at the forefront.
“Creatures?”
“Yes, she can create up to 1,000 robust creatures.”
“I understand the first reason, but I don’t quite understand the second reason just by hearing it.”
“Then, let’s just check it out right away.”
After finishing his conversation with Venus, he looked at the World Tree.
“How should I create them?”
The World Tree asked for his opinion on how to create the creatures.
Since he already had something in mind, Jung Minwoo opened his mouth without hesitation.
“First, they need to have a high reproductive rate.”
The biggest weakness of elves was their low reproductive rate, so it was an issue that needed to be addressed.
“They need to be specialized in handling demonic energy instead of mana. And their affinity with spirits should be higher than before.”
Since they would be handling demonic energy, there was no need for mana, and the spirits needed to assist the World Tree in battle, so their affinity had to be superior.
“Lastly, they need to have a fast growth rate.”
As a long-lived species, elves had a slow growth rate, making them vulnerable to threats before reaching adulthood, so this point also needed to be improved.
“What are the potential problems with proceeding this way?”
At Jung Minwoo’s question, the World Tree answered with a surprised expression.
“…There are none.”
Usually, when you take the strengths of elves and try to compensate for their weaknesses, new weaknesses arise, but…
Thanks to the enhanced effect, it became possible to proceed without any problems.
“Proceed as planned.”
“Understood.”
As the World Tree closed her eyes and concentrated…
Crack―
Branches sprouted from the ground, and then…
Crack, crack―
The branches intertwined and began to transform into the shape of an elf.
“Phew.”
And as the World Tree breathed into the branches…
Woo―ung.
They became enveloped in demonic energy, and then…
Flash―
A blinding light burst forth.
Thud―
When the light subsided, a figure was kneeling on one knee where the branches had been.
‘Ooh…’
T h i s w a s co p i ed fr o m k in g mt l .o r g
Jung Minwoo’s eyes shone as he looked closely at the figure.
‘The overall appearance is similar to the World Tree.’
He could see that her hair and eyes were gray, and a small gray horn protruded from her forehead.
‘We can’t call them elves anymore.’
Jung Minwoo thought it would be good to give them a new name to distinguish them from existing elves.
T h is wa s c op i ed f r o m k in g m t l . or g
‘Since they have a mixed appearance of Demons and elves, it would be good to call them Devil Elves, right?’
And so, the ‘Devil Elf’ race, which had never existed in history, was newly born at the hands of Jung Minwoo.
