The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Liger Planet Invasion (3)

“If the two of you are alright with it, would it be okay if I faced him alone?”

Elvis asked the two for their opinion on whether he could fight alone.

“If you’ll hand over the opportunity to take his life to me, I don’t mind.”

The World Tree replied that it didn’t matter, as long as it could kill him with its own hands.

“Yes, it’s fine.”

Gob also replied that it didn’t matter.

“Thank you for your consideration.”

Elvis bowed his head to the two, then

“Are you ready to die?”

He threw a provocation at Black Wolf.

“Ready to die…”

Black Wolf, provoked, repeated Elvis’s words, then

“That’s what you should be doing!”

Pa—at!

He kicked off the ground and swung his claws at Elvis.

Sswae————aek!

A speed that even a higher being who had reached the ‘Grand Sword Master’ level would not be able to react to properly.

Hwik—

However, Elvis easily dodged the attack just by tilting his head back.

“That’s a poor showing for a surprise attack.”

And as he left a short comment on Black Wolf’s attack.

“…You’re getting cocky just because you dodged once!”

Black Wolf swung his claws faster than before.

Sswae————aek!

Hwik—

Even though he attacked at a faster speed, Elvis dodging remained the same.

“…This bastard!”

Black Wolf, feeling impatient at the fact that he had dodged the attack twice, began to pour attacks at Elvis.

Sswae—aek, Sswae—aek, Sswae—aek, Sswae—aek, Sswae—aek, Sswae—aek, Sswae—aek, Sswae—aek, Sswae—aek, Sswae—aek, Sswae—aek, Sswae—aek, Sswae—aek, Sswae—aek, Sswae—aek, Sswae—aek, Sswae—aek, Sswae—aek, Sswae—aek—!

An attack that mobilized all parts of the body, starting with the hands and feet, to the elbows, knees, and tail.

A fast movement that leaves afterimages.

If it had been an ordinary enemy, it would have already become a corpse, but

“How boring.”

Elvis showed that he was dodging the attacks leisurely with an indifferent face, as if it was boring.
T hi s was c o p i e d fr om k i n g mt l . org

“…Then let’s see if you can dodge this too!”

Black Wolf imbued his claws with Aura Blade and tried to shoot it at Elvis, but

“No, try dodging this you.”

Elvis placed his palm on Black Wolf’s chest and

Pajijik—

T h i s w a s c o p ie d fro m k i n g m t l. o r g
He shot black lightning right then and there.

“Kkeuk?!”

Black Wolf felt his mind becoming hazy from the extreme pain, but

“Euaaaaaaaa!”

He used his superhuman strength to hold onto his consciousness and at the same time, thrust his claws towards Elvis.

“Anyone would think you’re fighting with spirit.”

Elvis snorted once, then

Pajijik—!

He emitted black lightning from his palm once more, sending Black Wolf flying far away.

Udangtang—

‘Shall I finish it now?’

Elvis, disappointed with his skills that were less than expected, decided to end the fight.

‘The World Tree said it would kill him directly, so I just need to drive him to the brink of death.’

As he stretched his arms up to the sky and raised his demonic energy.

Kkukukukuku—

Dark clouds gathered in the clear sky, and black lightning flickered between the clouds.

“Strike.”

T hi s w a s c op i e d f r om k i n g m tl . o r g
As he lowered the hand he had stretched upwards.

Urrrureu Kwaang————!!!

Countless black lightning bolts from the dark clouds began to strike Black Wolf.

Black Wolf was feeling nothing but bewilderment while fighting Elvis.

‘…The information was wrong.’
Thi s wa s co pi ed f r o m k in g m t l. org

That was because Elvis was displaying prowess several times greater than the ability he had estimated.

If he had known that Elvis possessed such overwhelming power, he wouldn’t have picked a fight from the beginning.

‘…That bastard was right.’

Suddenly, the image of the leader who had repeatedly emphasized surrender came to mind.

‘I should have surrendered as he said.’

A belated sense of regret washed over him, but

‘…Nothing will change even if I regret it now!’

Black Wolf shook his head roughly, shaking off the distracting thoughts.

‘Right now, I have to think of a way to kill that bastard.’

Before finding a way to kill Elvis, Black Wolf decided to first assess his own physical condition and check the area where he had been attacked earlier.

Looking down at his chest.

‘…I can’t believe he inflicted this much damage with just a momentary attack.’

He could see that his chest was not only burned, but the skin was peeled off and soaked in blood.

At a glance, he could see his bones, so if he had allowed one more attack, he wouldn’t have been able to avoid instant death.

‘…Is there only one way to kill him?’

Realizing that there was no normal way to kill Elvis, Black Wolf decided to use his hidden trump card.

‘I’ll take your life too, in exchange for mine…’

Pu—uk!

T h is w a s c o p i ed f r o m k i n g mtl . o r g
Black Wolf suddenly dug his claws into his own chest and

“Kkeuk!”

Pu—hwak!

T h is w a s c op i e d f r o m k in gm t l . or g
He pulled out his heart with his own hand and began to devour it.

Wageok, Wageok—

If you only looked at his actions, it might seem like he had gone mad, but

‘…It feels like I’m about to lose my breath.’

What Black Wolf was doing was performing a ritual that pushed his strength to the limit, at the cost of his life.

As he finished eating his entire heart.

Kung————!

An indescribable sense of omnipotence began to sweep through his body.

‘…Do I have about 10 minutes?’

Black Wolf instinctively realized that he had been given 10 minutes.

‘Good. I’ll kill that bastard within 10 minutes!’

And just as he was about to move to kill Elvis.

Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang, Kwaang—!!!

Black lightning bolts began to strike the spot where he had been standing.

If it had been before, he wouldn’t have been able to dodge and would have been directly hit, but

“Heup!”

He was currently in a state that had surpassed his limits, so he was able to easily dodge the black lightning bolts.

Taat—!

Dodging tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of black lightning bolts, Black Wolf reached close to Elvis and

Sswae———————aek!!!

He thrust his claws straight at Elvis’s eyes.

It was just a simple thrust, but

Kwa———————ang!

With unimaginable power, it created a strong wind pressure, blowing away the corpses piled up like a mountain.

“Die!!!”

When his claws reached near Elvis’s eyes.

“To get cocky over becoming a little faster.”

Elvis sneered, then

Pu————hwak!

“?!”

With a single wave of his hand, he cut off Black Wolf’s arm.

“Keuheuk!”

Th i s w a s c opi e d f r o m k i n g mt l . o r g
Black Wolf felt a momentary sense of bewilderment.

‘If I retreat now, it’s over…!’

Clenching his teeth, he thrust his other arm towards Elvis.

Sswae———————aek!!!

Again, creating a strong wind pressure, it reached near Elvis’s eyes, but

“Are you slow on the uptake?”

Pu————hwak!

With a wave of his hand, his other arm was cut off as well.

‘If my arms won’t work, I can just attack with my legs…!’

Black Wolf tried to attack without giving up, but

“?!”

Pu————hwak!

Pu————hwak!

Both his legs were cut off as well, making him unable to attack.

Cheolpeodeok—

Black Wolf lost all means of attack and rolled pathetically on the ground.

‘I’ve come this far, but I can’t even touch him…?’

Feeling a sense of futility at the reality that he couldn’t even graze Elvis’s clothes even after using all his strength, at that moment.

“It seems it’s my turn now.”

The World Tree approached and

“Pay the price for killing my children.”

As it breathed out, branches sprouted from its body and began to bind Black Wolf.

Then, as the World Tree snapped its fingers.

Ududuk—

The branches not only bound him but also tightened around his body, tearing and ripping him apart.

Thus, Black Wolf, who was called the strongest man on Earth, had the candle of his life extinguished pathetically at the hands of the invaders.

As Black Wolf died and all invasions ended.

【You have invaded ‘Liger’ planet】

【A large amount of demonic energy will be given as a reward】

A message window stating that he had invaded the planet appeared in front of Jung Minwoo’s eyes.

‘Power is overflowing.’

Perhaps because of the size of the planet, the density and amount of demonic energy were on a different scale.

‘I’d like to absorb all the demonic energy I’ve gained, but… I have to convert it to DP.’

He had earned a tremendous amount of DP from invading ‘Liger’ planet, but as there were many planets to invade, the DP was desperately insufficient.

Jung Minwoo brought up the shop window, pressed the ‘Sell’ category, and sold two-thirds of the demonic energy he had gained.

【1,000,000,000 DP has been given through sales】

Then, a message window stating that 1 billion DP had been given appeared.

‘1 billion DP… Not bad.’

This amount of DP was enough to buy 10 ‘Interplanetary Portal Tickets’.

10 might seem like a small number, but

‘I’ve already found planets similar in size to ‘Liger’, so I’ll earn a similar amount of DP.’

Assuming he invades 10 planets of the same size, he could earn 10 billion DP, so it was by no means a small number.

‘If I gradually increase the number of planets I invade like this, I might be able to aim for 10,000.’

According to the Demon World’s time axis, not even a year had passed yet.

There was enough time, even more than enough, so it was worth aiming for 10,000.

‘The summit is not far away.’

He still had to invade 9,999 more planets, but since he had overcome the big hurdle of ‘Liger’ planet, the rest of the work would go smoothly.

As he was lost in thought about which planet to invade next.

“Minwoo-nim, congratulations.”

“You finally finished invading ‘Liger’ planet.”

“…Congratulations.”

“To invade a planet this quickly, I knew I could trust Minwoo! Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Demon Communion members offered their congratulations.

‘It’s all thanks to them that I was able to invade this quickly.’

If he had tried to do it alone, he wouldn’t have been able to successfully invade even a third of it.

“Thank you. Let’s do our best to invade the remaining 9,999 planets.”

Jung Minwoo expressed his gratitude to the Demon Communion members and reminded them of their goal.

“Huh?”

“…Huh?”

“What?”

“Ribbit, ribbit?”

He could see the expressions of the Demon Communion members hardening in real time.

“Is there a problem?”
Th i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i n gm t l .o r g

To Jung Minwoo’s question, Venus said with a flustered expression.

“…Wasn’t the goal 1,000 planets?”

“I thought about it, and 1,000 seemed too small, so I increased it to 10,000.”

“Is it even possible to invade 10,000 planets within 100 years…?”

“I did the calculations, and at this rate, it seems quite possible.”

“Ah…”

“So, just work hard for 100 years.”

100 years.

100 years according to the Demon World’s time axis, but according to ‘Dainik’ planet’s time axis, it was 2,000 years.

“…Alright.”

Even Venus, who was always optimistic, had a shadow cast over her face as if she could picture the future.

“…I can picture an incredibly busy future.”

“There haven’t been any cases of demons dying from overwork, right?”

“Minwoo is an evil demon, ribbit, ribbit…”

The Demon Communion members also seemed overwhelmed by the 10,000 planets, showing signs of exhaustion.

‘They haven’t been able to rest even for a moment while invading ‘Liger’ planet, so it must seem daunting to have to invade 10,000 planets.’
Th i s was c op ie d fr om k i n gm t l .or g

Jung Minwoo understood the Demon Communion members’ reaction, but

‘There’s no other way if I want to become a Demon Lord for sure.’

To eliminate even the possibility of variables, he had to invade as many planets as possible, so even if it was difficult, there was no other way.

‘I can’t just order them around, I have to tell them something hopeful.’

If he just drove them without any hope, their motivation could be broken, so Jung Minwoo decided to tell the Demon Communion members something hopeful.

“Still, it’s better to work hard now, right?”
T h i s wa s c o pie d fr o m k in gmt l .org

At Jung Minwoo’s words, the Demon Communion members tilted their heads as if asking what he meant.

“It’s much better to prepare now than to prepare when you’re challenging the Demon Lord’s throne.”

In other words, since they were sharing the planets, they wouldn’t have to carry out invasion activities when they challenged the throne later.

“And if the corrupted higher beings gain experience and grow stronger, it’s as good as winning the ‘Planetary War’.”

Winning one of the three methods of proof was a considerable advantage.

“It’s true that it’s better to prepare now than later.”

“If it’ll be easier later, I can certainly endure it.”

“…For the future.”

“Now that I hear it, it seems alright? Ribbit, ribbit.”

At Jung Minwoo’s explanation, the Demon Communion members’ faces brightened.

“Let’s do our best.”

“Let’s go!”

“…Fighting!”

“Let’s just work hard for 100 years. Ribbit, ribbit!”

And the Demon Communion members united and showed their determination.
