The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 141

Chapter 141: Liger Planet Invasion (1)

Following the news of the supply depot invasion and the repulsion of the Allied Forces that went to provide support.

“It seems they completed the operation splendidly, beyond expectations.”

The news reached even Elvis’s ears.

“I can’t just stand by and watch after such excellent results.”

Sensing this was a golden opportunity to end the invasion, Elvis immediately summoned Arnold.

“You called for me, Your Majesty.”

After Arnold entered the throne room.

T h i s wa s cop i e d f r o m ki ng m t l.o rg
“We will attack the Allied Forces immediately. I will accompany you on this operation, so make thorough preparations.”

Elvis, skipping the greetings, issued the order directly.

“Understood. I will quickly gather the troops and complete preparations for the invasion.”

30 minutes later.

“All preparations are complete, Your Majesty.”

“Good, let’s depart at once.”

Upon receiving the report that all preparations were finished, Elvis led his troops to attack the Allied Forces.

When they reached the vicinity of the ‘1st Army’, which formed one axis of the Allied Forces.

“Fire!!!”

The enemy troops activated the magic cannons installed on the outer wall.

Booom, Booom, Booom, Booom, Booom, Booom, Booom, Booom, Booom!

They began firing cannonballs.

“Such petty tricks.”

Elvis clicked his tongue and shifted his gaze towards Arnold.

“Respond with magic!”

Arnold commanded, looking at the mages.

“””Reflex.”””

As the mages cast the spell according to the command, a black curtain appeared in the air.

Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang—

Reflecting all the cannonballs, sending them back towards the outer wall.

Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom!

The cannonballs that struck the outer wall created tremendous explosions, easily collapsing the wall.

“Everyone, remember that your strength is restricted by the artifacts. Fight in cooperation!!”

T h i s w a s c opi ed f r o m k i n g m t l . or g
“””Yes!!!”””

“Good. Charge, everyone!!!”

“””Uwaaaaaaaaah!”””

T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i n g m t l . o rg
Arnold led his subordinates and charged towards the collapsed outer wall.

When Elvis was leading his troops to invade the ‘1st Army’.

“Their forces have dwindled. Let’s use this opportunity to invade.”

Deciding to resume the invasion, the World Tree led her children towards the ‘2nd Army’.

When they reached the vicinity of the ‘2nd Army’.

“Fire!!!”

Here too, the enemy troops activated the magic cannons installed on the outer wall.

Booom, Booom, Booom, Booom, Booom, Booom, Booom, Booom, Booom!

They fired cannonballs, but.

“Did you really think you could stop us with mere cannonballs?”

As the World Tree waved her hand, a giant tree sprouted from the ground, blocking all the cannonballs.

“Show them the true extent of your power.”

“””As Mother wills!!!”””

Then, the Devil Elves raised their hands towards the sky.

“””O Dark Spirits, answer our call!!!”””

Churn—

Black smoke poured out from their palms and began to gather in the air.

“””Arcane!”””

And when they called out the name of the Dark Spirit King ‘Arcane’.

“The scent of death overflows here!”

Arcane responded to the Devil Elves’ call and revealed himself.

Wearing a black hood and wielding a scythe.

His appearance was utterly ordinary, but the atmosphere he exuded was ‘death’ itself.

“Hahaha, so who do I need to kill?”

To Arcane’s question, a Devil Elf pointed towards the outer wall and said.

“Kill all the creatures inside there.”

“Such a simple request.”

Arcane raised his scythe and.

“Time to return to the beginning, mortals.”

Lightly swung his scythe.

Shhiiiiiiiiiing—

A black aura, reeking of death, drew a half-moon shape and flew towards the outer wall.

“S-Stop it!”

The Beastmen tried to block it by deploying magic, but.

Swoooosh—

The black aura passed through the magic as if it were nothing and.

Slice—!

Unbound by physical limitations, it cut down only the enemy troops.

“””Uwaaaaaaaaah!”””

T h is w as c o p i e d f r om k i n g m t l . o r g
The enemy troops were helplessly dying, unable to find a countermeasure, when.

“Let’s enter and quickly conquer them.”

The World Tree led her children and moved inside the ‘2nd Army’.

While Elvis and the World Tree were actively invading.

“I believe everyone is aware of the reason for this emergency meeting, so let’s begin the discussion immediately.”

The Allied Forces gathered in the conference hall to discuss how to respond.

“””…”””

The leaders of each nation only sighed, with no one readily opening their mouths.

“It’s difficult to say this, but how about we surrender and submit to them?”

As time passed, one leader cautiously started speaking.

“…Are you suggesting surrender now? Are you in your right mind?”

“Is there any other solution?”

“We are gathered here to find a solution.”

“But, a suitable solution…”

“We’ll find one from now on!!!”

As one leader protested, the leader who proposed surrender sighed softly and said.

“We have lost over 5 billion lives in this fight. Are you saying we should continue fighting?”

“I’ll ask you this: Do you not think surrendering now is an insult to those who have died?”

“I don’t know about insult. But at this rate, our destruction is certain.”

“…What? Did you just finish talking?”

“Hey, who are you talking down to?!”

As the two leaders raised their voices and argued.

“I also think surrender isn’t a bad idea.”

“Ha, I didn’t know you were such a coward.”

“What did you say?”

“Why are you all like this? Aren’t we gathered here to share various opinions?”

“You stay out of this.”

“…What did you say?”

As other leaders intervened, the atmosphere in the conference hall quickly descended into chaos.

“Hmm…”

Meanwhile, a Beastman sitting at the head of the table, observing the scene.

“This is a mess.”

He clicked his tongue and.

Bang—!

Slammed his armrest, expressing his displeasure.

Silence—

As if by magic, the conference hall, which had been like a bustling marketplace, fell silent in an instant.

“””…”””

The leaders who had been raising their voices looked at the Beastman sitting at the head of the table, trying to gauge his mood.

One might wonder why they were trying to read the mood in a gathering of equal leaders, but the reason was quite simple.

The strongest man on Earth.

The one who ascended to the throne by killing the princes before his coming-of-age ceremony.

The one who became emperor by unifying other nations with his strength.

It was because his power was so overwhelming that he had earned such epithets.

The anecdote of him single-handedly going to the front lines and annihilating an entire kingdom was still being talked about.

“As expected, it’s always the frightened ones who raise their voices the loudest.”

The emperor, with black mane, black skin, and golden eyes, resembling a black lion, looked at them with disdain and opened his mouth.

It was quite an insulting remark, considering it was directed at the leaders of each nation.

“””…”””

However, even though they felt humiliated, they couldn’t utter a single word of rebuttal.

“How strong is the enemy?”

To the emperor’s question, one leader bowed his head and answered.

“Currently, their numbers are close to 1 billion…”

At the leader’s words, the emperor shook his head and changed his question.

“No, I don’t need to know their numbers. Explain the strength of the strongest individual among them.”

“…According to reports, there are about three individuals who have surpassed the ‘Grand Sword Master’ level.”

T h i s w a s co p i e d fr om k i ng m t l .org
“Three individuals who have surpassed the ‘Grand Sword Master’ level… Continue.”

As the emperor urged him to continue, the leader explained in detail about the three powerful individuals.

The World Tree who commanded trees and spirits.

Gob who fought using brute strength and demonic energy.

And Elvis who wielded black lightning.
T hi s w a s co p i e d f ro m ki n g m t l.org

“There were assessments that the one wielding black lightning is somewhat weaker than the others.”

The emperor, after listening to the entire explanation, nodded his head and.

“Compared to me, how are they?”

He asked the leader to explain in comparison to himself.

“…W-Well, that is…”

The leader who received the request hesitated to speak, cautiously gauging the emperor’s mood.

“You can speak honestly. That’s the only way we can accurately grasp the enemy’s strength.”

“…Understood.”

At the emperor’s following words, the leader sighed softly and said.

“Against the human who wields black lightning, you might achieve a draw, but against the others, it is reported that Your Majesty would find it difficult to win.”

Th i s w as co pi ed f r om k in gm t l . o r g
“Is that so?”

T hi s w as cop ie d fr o m k i ng mtl . o rg
“…Yes.”

The emperor readily accepted the leader’s words.

“You are adept at assessing the enemy, so your words must be true.”

In all his time managing the Allied Forces, his judgment had never been wrong, so this time would be no different.

“How do you think we should defeat those three powerful individuals?”

“No matter what we do, we won’t be able to win…”

“Can you take responsibility for those words?”

“Would I have objected for no reason? My judgment is based on information and is certain.”

The emperor closed his eyes for a moment, lost in thought, and then.

“Do you know how I ascended to the throne?”

After a while, he opened his eyes and asked the leader a seemingly unrelated question.

“Isn’t it because of Your Majesty’s overwhelming strength?”

The leader who received the question answered with a puzzled expression.

“Then, do you know how I obtained that overwhelming strength?”

“Through training and actual combat…?”

As the leader answered the following question once again.

“No, you’re wrong.”

The emperor shook his head and rose from his seat.

“…Pardon?”

Stab—!

Then, he pierced the leader’s chest with his long claws and.

Pull—!

Withdrew his hand, bringing the leader’s heart along with it, attached to his claws.

“W-What are you doing?!”

“Are you crazy?!”

“We treated you as the emperor, have you lost your mind?!”

“Black Wolf! You’ve finally gone mad!!!”

The leaders who witnessed the scene rose from their seats and drew their weapons, but.

The emperor, no, Black Wolf, seemed uninterested in them, not even sparing them a glance as he began to devour the heart.

Crunch, Crunch—

After finishing the heart, Black Wolf smiled with satisfaction and said.

T h i s w a s c o p ie d f r o m k ingmt l .o r g
“The reason I could become strong is because I can absorb the enemy’s power by eating their hearts.”

“””…What?”””
Th i s w a s c opie d f rom k i n g mtl .o rg

The leaders were struck with bewilderment at the shocking revelation, and as they were.

“So, I will take your hearts. And use them to oppose them.”

Black Wolf moved with a speed that was difficult to follow with the naked eye and.

Stab—!

Stab—!

Stab—!

Stab—!

Stab—!

Stab—!

“””G-Gah…?!”””

In an instant, he pierced the chests of the leaders, taking their lives.

After devouring all their hearts and absorbing their power, Black Wolf.

“Hmm, as expected of leaders, they possessed tremendous power.”

He shuddered, savoring the newly acquired power.

“However, this level of power won’t be enough to oppose them.”

It was said that they possessed enough power to defeat a ‘Grand Sword Master’ with a single blow, so this level of power would be far from sufficient.

“…I need more power.”

Black Wolf decided to gain more power by taking more hearts and stepped out of the conference hall.

And for several days, screams echoed endlessly throughout the empire.
