The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 142

Chapter 142: Liger Planet Invasion (2)

Elvis, Gob, and the World Tree decided to meet at a designated location after defeating all the armies to discuss their final invasion.
T h i s w as c op i e d f r o m k i n g mt l . or g

And Elvis had finished all the preparations to welcome them.

“I wonder what they’ll be like. I’m looking forward to it.”

Elvis sat alone in the dining room, expressing his anticipation as he thought about the people he would soon meet.

“The goblin was given the name ‘Gob’ by Master, right?”

He had met Gob before, but he was said to have been granted the power of the Demon Lord and grown in rank, so he was curious to see how he had changed.

“The World Tree was chosen by Master and gained a physical body, right?”

Th is w as c o p i e d fr om k i ng m t l .o rg
According to rumors, she became the Demon Lord’s servant because her outstanding abilities were recognized, so he couldn’t help but be curious about how great her abilities were.

“One thing’s for sure, they’ll both exceed expectations.”

As Elvis waited for them with a joyful heart.

“The leader of the monsters, Gob-nim, has arrived.”

A knight entered the dining room and informed him of Gob’s arrival.

“Escort him inside.”

“Yes!”

The knight who received the order left, and a moment later.

Creak—

A 3-meter giant opened the door and entered.

“Oh…”

Elvis let out a shallow gasp as he saw Gob.

“You’ve become more dignified than before.”

It was because he had changed so much that there was no trace of his previous appearance.

‘I can feel the king’s dignity.’

Even though the clothes he was wearing were military uniforms, not royal attire, they exuded elegance and majesty.

“…Thank you for the compliment.”

As if the compliment was awkward, Gob scratched his head and expressed his gratitude.

“Please have a seat. The food will be served when the World Tree-nim arrives.”
T hi s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k ingm tl . o r g

“Alright.”

At Elvis’s words, Gob nodded and sat down on the chair prepared for his size.

“Thank you for preparing a chair that fits my physique.”

And Gob, admiring Elvis’s thoughtfulness, expressed his gratitude for his consideration.

“It was just the consideration I should have given.”

“I guess this is why I like Your Majesty.”

As Gob burst into a hearty laugh.

“Please don’t call me ‘Your Majesty’ anymore.”

Elvis asked him not to address him with honorifics.

T h i s w as c o p i e d f r o m k i n g m t l . or g
“…Yes? Then what should I call you?”

“If you must call me something… ‘Elvis Noxon’, how about calling me Elvis comfortably?”

“Uh…”

As Gob showed embarrassment at the sudden suggestion.

“We’ll be seeing each other often, so wouldn’t it be better to be friendly with each other?”

Elvis smiled faintly, as if telling him to think of him comfortably.

“…Alright. It’ll be a bit awkward, but I’ll try.”

“Let’s speak comfortably after our relationship becomes closer.”

“Sounds good.”

As the two were having a conversation.

“The mother of the elves, the World Tree-nim, is entering.”

The knight announced the World Tree’s entrance and opened the dining room door.

“It is an honor to meet those chosen by Master.”

The World Tree, exuding an elegant aura, walked into the dining room.

“Those are my words.”

“The honor is all mine.”

Elvis and Gob also got up from their seats and greeted her in return.

“Now that the World Tree-nim has arrived, how about we start the meal?”

“I would be grateful if you served me food.”

“Then, I’ll have my subordinates prepare it right away.”

Afterwards, they spent time getting to know each other by talking until the food came out.

And their bonding continued while they ate.

“Did everyone enjoy the food?”

After the meal, Elvis asked them if they liked the food.

“It was the best.”
Th i s w a s cop i e d fr om k in g mt l . or g

“I was very satisfied.”

Gob and the World Tree expressed their satisfaction with the meal.

“I’m glad you enjoyed it.”

At Elvis’s words, the World Tree smiled and said.

“You were considerate enough to cater to our individual tastes, so it couldn’t have been anything but delicious.”

As the World Tree’s words indicated, Elvis had figured out their eating habits and provided food that suited their individual tastes.

Thanks to his meticulous consideration, the World Tree and Gob were able to enjoy their meal without any discomfort, and the atmosphere became even more amicable.

“Haha, thank you for your kind words. Now, since we’ve finished the meal, how about we start the meeting?”

“Sounds good.”

“Alright.”

As the World Tree and Gob accepted Elvis’s suggestion.

“Here it is.”

The knight who was waiting behind handed Elvis a map.

“Thank you.”

Elvis, receiving the map, spread it out on the desk and said.

“Currently, we have conquered five armies. And all countries except one have declared their surrender, so it’s safe to say that the invasion is practically over.”

“Except one?”

“Yes, only the ‘Lion’ Empire is not surrendering.”

The World Tree, as if she knew where it was, hardened her expression and said.

“If it’s that place, isn’t it where ‘Black Wolf’ is?”

“That’s right. Do you know anything about this person?”

“No, I don’t know anything. But… in the past, my children were killed because of him.”

Elvis offered her a brief word of comfort.

“…You must have been very upset.”

“It was a long time ago, so I’m fine now.”

At Elvis’s comfort, the World Tree smiled bitterly and shrugged her shoulders.

“To continue the story, I found it strange that the ‘Lion’ Empire wasn’t surrendering, so I had the mages investigate the inside. And I saw a very shocking sight.”

“A shocking sight?”

“Yes, from the cities to the small villages, the beastmen were all dead with their chests pierced.”

“Dead with their chests pierced?”

“Yes, upon closer inspection, it was where their hearts were located.”

Th is w a s c o p i ed f r om k ing mtl . or g
“It’s ‘Black Wolf’s’ doing.”

As if her children had suffered the same fate, she expressed strong conviction.

“That’s right. When I saw what had happened through magic, I confirmed that ‘Black Wolf’ was eating the beastmen’s hearts.”

“Just as I thought…”

Th i s w a s c o p i ed f r o m k ing m tl. o r g
“Also, I was able to find out that his power increased slightly immediately after eating the hearts.”

In other words, according to Elvis, Black Wolf had killed all the people to gain power in order to face his enemies.

“According to the report, it is estimated that he has gained enough power to be difficult to confront even for a ‘Grand Sword Master’.”

“It would be strange if he didn’t gain strong power after killing that many people.”

“Therefore, I think the three of us should visit the empire with minimal force. What do you think?”

At Elvis’s question, the World Tree answered without a moment’s hesitation.

“I’m in. I need to avenge my dead children.”

“Alright.”

Then, he turned his gaze towards Gob.

“Sounds good. There’s no need to increase meaningless sacrifices.”

Gob also expressed his agreement with Elvis’s opinion.

“Alright. Then let’s move to the empire right away.”

After finishing the meeting, they made simple preparations and headed straight for the empire.

As they entered the city.

‘The smell is disgusting.’

A strong smell of iron stimulated their noses.

Also, the streets were filled with dried bloodstains, making it unpleasant.

‘It’s shameful as a fellow emperor.’

From Elvis’s point of view, as the ruler of an empire, he couldn’t understand Black Wolf’s actions.

‘If he had some sense and was biding his time, I was going to suggest to the Demon Lord-nim to recruit him, but…’

Looking at the surrounding scenery, he decided that killing him would be more beneficial.

‘We’re almost at the imperial palace.’

Lost in thought, as he walked through the city, he was almost within spitting distance of the imperial palace.

“From here on out, you need to be on your guard. Don’t reveal your power.”

“Don’t reveal our power?”

The World Tree asked, confused by Elvis’s words.

“Yes, it would be troublesome if the enemy gets scared and runs away because we revealed our power.”

“Ah, that could happen.”

The World Tree, understanding the explanation, replied.

“Then, let’s go inside.”

As Elvis heightened his senses and entered the imperial palace.

‘What a terrible hobby.’

He could see corpses piled up like a mountain in the training ground.

Countless corpses.

So much blood had been shed that the floor was soaked in red blood.

‘The blood hasn’t even dried yet.’

Judging by the decay, it seemed like the corpses had been there for a few days, but because so much blood had been spilled, it was only half dried.

‘It’s better to kill him quickly and end the invasion.’

As Elvis felt unpleasant and thought he should kill Black Wolf quickly.

“You’ve arrived?”

A middle-aged man’s voice reached his ears.

“…”

Elvis raised his head towards the direction of the voice.

“Oh, you guys are the ones rumored to be the strongest among the enemy forces?”

He could see a figure sitting on top of the mountain of corpses.

“Black Wolf.”

He couldn’t see clearly because of the sunlight, but Elvis was sure that he was Black Wolf.

“Oops!”

Then, the figure jumped down from the mountain of corpses and landed on the ground.

Tap.

He extended his claws and smiled confidently.

Black mane, black skin, golden eyes. He looked like a black lion.
T hi s w a s c o pi e d f r o m kin g mt l. o rg

“As expected, it’s Black Wolf.”

He looked just as the mages had reported.

“You seem to know me, but since we’ll be fighting soon, I’ll introduce myself properly.”

Black Wolf puffed out his chest and began to introduce himself.

“I am the emperor of the ‘Lion’ Empire, and the one who will kill you.”

A very arrogant introduction.

‘How pathetic.’

Elvis scoffed at the arrogant introduction.

“Now that I’ve finished my introduction, will you introduce yourselves?”

Elvis shook his head at Black Wolf’s question and said.

“I’m sorry. I don’t have a hobby of introducing myself to lowly insects.”

“…”

Black Wolf’s expression hardened, as if he didn’t like the dismissive remark.

“…I’ll ask for your introduction again before I kill you. Can I ask you a few questions?”

“What is it?”

“I’m curious where you came from and why you’re invading this place.”

He thought it was natural for the one being invaded to be curious about the reason, but.

“None of your business.”

Elvis refused to answer, since a lowly insect like him wouldn’t understand the Demon Lord-nim’s deep intentions.

“…Is that so?”

Being refused even his question, Black Wolf revealed a deep killing intent.

T his w a s c o pi e d f ro m ki n g m tl .o rg
“I can ask this before I kill you too.”

He emitted a powerful aura.

‘His aura is considerable.’

Judging by his aura, he felt power equal to or even greater than his own.

‘Of course, only when my power is restricted.’
T hi s w a s co p i e d f ro m k in g m t l . o r g

If he fought in a restricted state, he would definitely lose to Black Wolf, but.

‘Now, my restrictions are almost completely lifted, so he just looks pathetic.’

Since he had invaded all the countries except the empire, it was as if his restrictions had disappeared.

‘Originally, I was going to fight 3 on 1 to finish it quickly, but…’

With that level of power, he could handle it himself without borrowing the power of the World Tree and Gob.

‘It wouldn’t be bad to show him the difference in our power.’

Since it was the last invasion site on the ‘Liger’ planet, Elvis thought it wouldn’t be bad to fight Black Wolf 1 on 1, playing along with his whims.
