The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 144

Chapter 144: William (1)

Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members were in the process of narrowing down the list of planets they had investigated to 10.

“With this many planets, we should be able to invade them without much difficulty, right?”

Now that the selection process was complete, he was thinking about summoning the Higher Beings when…

“Minwoo-nim.”

“Yes?”

Venus, who was organizing the list of planets, spoke up.

“Our forces are divided into three groups: humans, elves, and monsters, aren’t they?”

“That’s right.”

“If we divide them into three groups, there will be one left over. Who are you planning to give that one to?”

Jung Minwoo shrugged his shoulders in response to her question.

“We’re going to invade the remaining one.”

Venus tilted her head in confusion at his answer.

“Then, wouldn’t it be pointless to buy 10 Interplanetary Portal Tickets?”

As she said, demons could invade planets without the Interplanetary Portal Ticket, so there was no need to purchase them.

“No, I have a separate use for them.”

“You have a separate use for them?”

“Yes, remember the first planet we invaded?”

“Isn’t it the Yurain planet?”

Thi s was co p i e d f rom k i n g mt l. or g
“Right, I’m thinking of connecting the Yurain planet, where we first invaded, to the Liger planet.”

Venus nodded in understanding at his words.

“So you’re thinking of synchronizing the time axis with this planet?”

“Exactly.”

Currently, the Yurain planet’s time axis was the same as the Demon World, making it difficult to utilize for planetary invasion.

“If the time axis is the same as the Demon World, it would be difficult to invade even five planets within 100 years.”

For that reason, he had no choice but to leave it alone, but…

T h is w a s c o pi ed f r o m k i n g m t l.o rg
“Things are different now.”

Being able to purchase the Interplanetary Portal Ticket changed everything.

Just as the Liger planet’s time axis became synchronized with the Dainik planet, they could now do the same with the Yurain planet.

“Then, we’ll be able to see William again after a long time.”

T h i s was c op i e d f r o m k i n g m tl . o r g
Venus mentioned William’s name, a nostalgic look on her face.

William.

The first Higher Being he corrupted during his Academy days, a human with the unprecedented talent of “Genius.”
T hi s w a s cop i e d f r om k i n g m t l . or g

“It feels like I haven’t heard that name in hundreds of years.”

Jung Minwoo felt a sense of familiarity upon hearing the name after such a long time, and he also felt curious about how much he had grown.

“As the first Higher Being I corrupted, I had a lot of affection for him.”

Moreover, his abilities were outstanding, making him impossible not to favor.

“Wow, William? It’s been a while since I’ve heard that name.”

“…It’s a name I haven’t heard in hundreds of years.”

“He was a cadet back then. The memories are flooding back. Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Demon Communion members listening nearby also showed nostalgic expressions.

As they were all reminiscing…

“So, Minwoo-nim, are you going to sit out this invasion?”

Venus asked about the planetary invasion.

“It seems like I will. Connecting the Yurain planet and preparing the Higher Beings to move to the Liger planet will take some time.”

“…It’s the first time we’re invading without Minwoo-nim.”

Venus fidgeted with her fingers, showing signs of anxiety at the news that he would be sitting out this invasion.

“Well, I think we’ll manage somehow.”

“…I’m a little worried.”

“Without Minwoo… Ribbit, ribbit.”

And the Demon Communion members also seemed anxious, with worry etched on their faces.

“They seem quite uneasy.”

Jung Minwoo smiled wryly inwardly at their reaction.

“It’s understandable that they’re worried, considering we’ve been together for hundreds of years and now we’re separating.”

He had always been their mental pillar, so it was natural for them to feel his absence deeply.

However, he couldn’t stay by their side like a babysitter forever, so this was a necessary process.

“Still, it’s not easy to invade a planet just by corrupting Higher Beings, so it’s better to provide support.”

He could see the “Talents” of Higher Beings using “Heaven’s Eye,” but the Demon Communion members couldn’t, so they had no choice but to personally search for talented Demon Servants.

“That’s why other demons struggle so much with invading planets.”

After finishing his thoughts, Jung Minwoo looked at the Demon Communion members and said,

“Don’t worry too much. We’ll also deploy the pigeon we corrupted last time. If you use it well, invading won’t be that difficult.”

He mentioned deploying one 6th Rank pigeon and hundreds of 9th Rank pigeons.

“Thank you for your consideration. With that many deployed, I think we can definitely give it a try.”

Venus replied with a somewhat relieved expression.

“Then, since we’re almost done talking, shall we call the Higher Beings?”

“Sure.”

Afterwards, Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members summoned the Higher Beings to distribute the selected planet list.

The summoned Higher Beings arrived at the location where Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members were gathered and paid their respects.

“We greet the Demon Lords.”

“We greet Master and the other Demon Lords.”

“It is an honor to meet Master.”

Elvis, the World Tree, and Gob greeted them, and Jung Minwoo nodded in response.

“You’ve worked hard on this invasion.”

At his words acknowledging their efforts, the three bowed their heads and replied.

T h is w as co p i e d f r o m k i ng mt l . o r g
“We have only done what we had to do.”

“Thank you for saying so.”

T hi s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i ngm t l. o r g
Jung Minwoo smiled warmly and turned his gaze to Venus.

“Here you go.”

Venus approached the Higher Beings and distributed the planet lists.

“What is this…?”

Elvis asked, and Venus pointed to the list and explained.

“These are the planets you will be invading.”

“New planets…”

“Yes, you can choose the planet you like and invade it.”

Elvis carefully examined the list of nine planets and then…

“Please take a look as well.”

He handed the list to the World Tree and Gob.

Once the World Tree and Gob had finished reviewing the list…

“Decide which planet to invade through discussion amongst yourselves.”

Jung Minwoo issued the order to choose a planet.

“Understood.”

The three had a brief discussion and then…

“We have made our choices.”

They each took three planet lists.

After receiving their reports on which planets they had chosen, Jung Minwoo nodded and spoke.

“It wouldn’t be fun without a reward, so I will grant a fitting reward to the one who finishes the invasion first.”
Th i s w a s cop i e d fro m k i n g m t l . o rg

At his words promising to grant their desired reward, greed flickered in the eyes of Elvis, the World Tree, and Gob.
T h i s w a s c op ie d fr o m k in g mtl . o r g

“Then, before we begin the invasion, Elvis, step forward.”

At Jung Minwoo’s call, Elvis walked forward respectfully.

“The others have gained power that surpasses their Rank, so I must grant you equivalent power.”

“…Thank you.”

Elvis expressed his gratitude at the mention of bestowing demonic energy.

“Elvis has a high Rank, so he won’t need as much demonic energy as Gob.”

Jung Minwoo shared an appropriate amount of demonic energy with Elvis.

【Received demonic energy from a High-ranking Demon while possessing a high Rank.】

【The quality of the bestowed demonic energy is high.】

T h i s w as c o pi e d f ro m k i n gm tl . o r g
【Rank has increased, slightly breaking free from the shackles of ‘Mortality’.】

【Aging will not occur as long as the master-servant relationship is maintained.】

【Lifespan is not restricted until the master, ‘Jung Minwoo’, dies.】

【Talent is transformed into a Unique Trait.】

【A new Unique Trait is added.】

Countless message windows appeared, almost obscuring his vision, and then…

Whoosh—

Black flames engulfed Elvis’s body.

“Aaaargh!!!”

He clutched his body, screaming in pain.

“Let’s see what information has changed.”

This was a common occurrence, so Jung Minwoo ignored Elvis’s screams and used “Heaven’s Eye” to check his information.

【Calling up information on ‘None’.】

A message window appeared, followed by Elvis’s information window.

『Information Window』

〈Basic Information〉

Name: None

Title: Elvis Noxon

Gender: Male

Age: 145 years old

〈Detailed Information〉

Alignment: Evil

Unique Traits: 【Solomon】, 【Emperor】

Current Emotion: Pain

“Let’s see what the effects are.”

Jung Minwoo clicked on the Unique Trait to check the changed “Solomon” effect.

【Solomon】

Exceptional wisdom, exceptional judgment, and exceptional mental strength are always present.

Compared to the previous effect, only the modifier “exceptional” had been added, but…

“…This is insane.”

That single modifier had caused the effects to skyrocket.

With the addition of “exceptional,” it was a given that he would show even more remarkable performance than before.

“I wonder what the next Unique Trait will be like?”

He was curious about the newly acquired “Emperor” Unique Trait and checked its effect.

【Emperor】

― The 100 individuals chosen by the Emperor will experience a significant increase in both physical and mental abilities.

― The lifespan of officers will increase by four times, and the lifespan of soldiers will increase by more than two times.

― Officers will experience a significant increase in demonic energy affinity, and soldiers will experience a slight increase in demonic energy affinity.

― Officers will experience a significant increase in combat power during battles, and soldiers will experience a slight increase in combat power.

“…This is like giving Elvis wings.”

An effect specialized for Elvis, the Emperor of the Empire.

Before bestowing demonic energy, he was slightly worried about whether they could properly invade, but…

“I don’t need to worry about the invasion anymore.”

Seeing the newly acquired effects, his worries seemed pointless.

As he finished checking the Unique Traits and turned his gaze towards Elvis…

Sizzle—

“…Huff, huff, huff.”

The black flames subsided, revealing Elvis.

“His appearance hasn’t changed.”

He had expected a dramatic change in appearance like with Gob and the World Tree, but Elvis looked no different from before.

“How is your body?”

He approached Elvis and inquired about his condition.

“It’s perfect.”

Elvis replied with a dazed expression.

“That’s good to hear.”

After confirming that there were no problems with his condition, Jung Minwoo patted Elvis’s shoulder and said,

“Use your newfound strength to invade many planets.”

“I will bring back results that will satisfy the Demon Lord.”

Elvis smiled confidently, assuring him that he would achieve great things.

“I look forward to it. Then, shall we begin the planetary invasion?”

Afterwards, Jung Minwoo used the Demon Lord Shop Window to purchase 10 Interplanetary Portal Tickets and set the coordinates for each planet.

“When you’re ready, cross through the portals and begin the invasion.”

“Understood.”

Elvis, the World Tree, and Gob nodded with determined expressions.

“Then, we will take our leave.”

“We will return after completing the invasion preparations.”

“I will come back fully prepared.”

Elvis, the World Tree, and Gob dispatched their forces to their chosen planets and then withdrew to make invasion preparations.

After the Higher Beings departed…

“Shall I go now?”

Jung Minwoo decided to head to the Yurain planet.

“I’ll be back.”

He said goodbye to the Demon Communion members.

Th i s w a s co p ie d f r o m k i ng m t l .o r g
“See you later.”

“…Come back safely.”

“Leave the invasion to us and have a safe trip.”

“Minwoo, don’t forget to say hello to everyone for us! Ribbit, ribbit.”

They waved goodbye to him.

Jung Minwoo smiled brightly at their farewells and…

Step, step, step.

He stepped into the portal.
