The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 152

Chapter 152: Demon World (1)

One week later.

Woo――ung.

One hundred newly created portals stood in the grasslands of the ‘Hammer’ Kingdom.

‘Gorgeous.’

A hundred portals emitting a dark red light created a dazzling atmosphere.

‘Soon, this place will be filled with portals, and they will be installed in other places, too, right?’

Since ten thousand planets had to be invaded, it would be quite a spectacle if they were all gathered together.

‘I hope that day comes soon.’

The moment ten thousand portals entered the ‘Hammer’ Kingdom, it would be the day he would challenge the Demon Lord’s throne.

As he was gazing at the portals emitting a brilliant light.

“Minwoo-nim?”

Venus called out to him, bringing him back to his senses.

“What is it?”

He asked her what the matter was, looking at her.

“The leaders and high-ranking officials of the races have finished their preparations and are waiting at the training ground.”

She reported that the Demon Servants had completed their preparations for the expedition ceremony.
T h is w a s c o pie d f r o m k i n g m tl .o r g

Originally, they would have moved to invade as soon as they were ready, but.

‘Elvis begged me to hold an expedition ceremony.’

He had pleaded that his help was necessary to boost the morale of the troops, which led to the holding of the expedition ceremony.

“Alright, let’s go to the training ground.”

“Yes, I understand.”

As they moved to the training ground within the royal palace with Venus.

‘The discipline is quite impressive.’

Nearly a hundred Demon Servants were waiting in an attention stance.

‘There are many familiar faces.’

Looking at the Demon Servants, he could see that many of the individuals he had been keeping an eye on were present.

‘Well, the fact that they caught my eye means they have produced significant results. It’s only natural for them to be here.’

As he was looking at the lined-up Demon Servants.

‘Should I introduce rewards for them as well?’

It seemed like it wouldn’t be a bad idea to offer rewards not only to the leaders but also to the high-ranking officials.

‘Then, they would invade even more diligently to earn the rewards.’

Higher beings were motivated by personal gain.
T h i s w a s c op i ed f ro m k i n g m t l . o r g

One might question whether the subordinates directly below the high-ranking officials should also be considered.

‘That’s not my concern.’

That was a matter for the leaders and high-ranking officials of each race to handle themselves.

‘For rewards, I can give them a small amount of demonic energy or artifacts purchased from the shop window.’

He thought that it might not be a bad idea for the Jungsin Cult members, once they reached 1st Rank, to be assigned different races to manage.

‘I would like to work with them now, but their demonic energy quality is still not good enough, so it’s better to do it later.’

Finishing his thoughts, he moved his steps and ascended the platform where the Jungsin Cult members were standing.

“Salute to the Demon-nims!”

Chuck, chuck―

“””Loyalty!!!”””

The Demon Servants saluted him and the Jungsin Cult members.

‘Neat and good.’

Before, they would kneel on one knee and bow.

‘This is simpler and better.’

Since they were showing excessive courtesy with every step they took, he had unified the greeting to a simple salute.

‘As expected, the military style suits me well.’

Jung Minwoo was pleased with the disciplined posture.

‘If I had been a soldier instead of an office worker before I was reincarnated, it would have suited my aptitude quite well.’

If he had chosen to be a career soldier, he would have probably reached a high rank.

“Greetings, everyone.”

He then returned the salute.

Chuck, chuck―

The Demon Servants on the training ground lowered their hands in unison without a single error.

“Did you all have a good rest for the past week?”

“””Yes!”””

The Demon Servants answered Jung Minwoo’s question in a vigorous voice.

‘There’s no need to make the expedition ceremony long, so shall we get straight to the point?’

Since this wasn’t their first expedition ceremony, he didn’t feel the need to drag it out, so he decided to speak directly about what he had in mind.

“I believe that you will once again successfully carry out the invasion.”

“””Thank you!”””

“As a token of my gratitude, I’m going to offer a new reward.”

At his words about offering a new reward, the leaders each showed puzzled expressions.

The high-ranking officials showed expressions filled with anticipation.

“The reward given to the leaders will vary depending on the invasion.”

The leaders’ rewards.

Since it was something they already knew, the high-ranking officials nodded their heads calmly.

“In addition to that, I intend to differentially reward the high-ranking officials as well, based on the order of invasion.”

“””!!!”””

None of the Demon Servants were unaware of the fact that Elvis had gained an additional life as a reward, so they all understood how great a benefit this was.

“The number of high-ranking officials eligible for rewards is twenty.”
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f rom kin g m t l . o r g

Twenty.

There were a total of twenty-four high-ranking officials, which meant four wouldn’t receive a reward.

“Furthermore, the authority to select the personnel to be rewarded rests with the leader, and if anyone opposes this, there will never be any rewards for high-ranking officials ever again.”

In other words, if they wanted to be rewarded, they had to obey the leader’s words without complaint.

‘I’m going to get into the top twenty and receive that reward…!’

‘A reward… I wonder what it could be?’

‘…It must be something amazing since the Demon-nim is bestowing it.’

‘Another reason to risk my life in this invasion…’

The high-ranking officials on the training ground were filled with deep determination to receive the reward, their motivation burning brightly.

Th i s w a s c op ie d f r o m kin g m tl . or g
‘It seems like they are definitely motivated.’

Seeing the fiery look in the Demon Servants’ eyes, Jung Minwoo predicted that this planetary invasion might end quickly.

‘I need to browse the shop window from time to time to find suitable rewards for the high-ranking officials.’

If he gave them a half-hearted reward, it would be worse than not giving anything at all.

‘I’ve said everything I needed to say, so shall we conclude the expedition ceremony?’

The Demon Servants’ morale seemed to be at its peak, so there was no need to say anything further.

“This concludes the expedition ceremony.”

Afterward, Jung Minwoo ended the expedition ceremony and moved back inside the royal palace with the Jungsin Cult members.

As they entered the royal palace.

“Are we going to depart immediately to search for higher beings?”

Venus asked if they were going to explore the planet right away.

“No, I’m thinking of departing in twenty days.”

“Twenty days later? Is there a reason?”

Venus tilted her head, asking for the reason behind his words.

“I think it would be good to go to the Demon World and meet the Great Demon Lord.”

“…The Great Demon Lord-nim?”

“Yes, I’m going to ask about the 72nd ranked Demon Lord, Katra, and Baal’s movements.”

After hearing his explanation, Venus let out an exclamation as if she understood.

“Indeed. We need to know what the enemies are doing to prepare for them.”

As Venus said, they needed to grasp their enemies’ movements to prepare countermeasures.

“It’s been a year in the Demon World’s time, so I think now is the time they would start moving.”

“If it’s been a year, it would be about time for them to make their move.”

“So, I’m thinking of departing for the Demon World right now. What do you guys want to do?”

Jung Minwoo asked the Jungsin Cult members.

“I’ll stay here!”

“…I’m okay.”

“Minwoo, go ahead! Ribbit, ribbit.”

They answered without a second thought that they would stay here.

They didn’t want to go all the way to the Demon World and suffer when they had twenty days of free rest.

As the Jungsin Cult members were happily contemplating how they would spend their twenty days of rest.

“We’ll stay here and organize a list of which planets to explore first.”

Venus dropped a bombshell.

‘There was a traitor among us…’
This w a s c op i ed f r o m k i n g m tl.o rg

‘…She wasn’t on our side?’

‘Venus… I trusted you! Ribbit, ribbit.’

Anubis, Elin, and Rok looked at Venus with bewildered faces, but.

“You all feel the same way, right?”

She asked for their agreement with an innocent expression.

“W, well. We were thinking the same thing…”

“…Y, yeah.”

“Haha! I thought you could see through my heart! Ribbit, ribbit.”

Unable to say no, the Jungsin Cult members awkwardly laughed and nodded their heads.

“You guys…”

Jung Minwoo looked at the Jungsin Cult members with honey dripping from his eyes as if he was touched.

‘Don’t look at us like that!’

‘…My conscience is hurting.’

‘Ugh, ribbit, ribbit!’

The Jungsin Cult members, who hadn’t planned on working at all, felt pangs of conscience and subtly avoided Jung Minwoo’s gaze.

“I thought you would say you wanted to rest for the next twenty days after I left. I guess I underestimated you all.”

Thump―

“And seeing you so passionate about work makes me so happy.”

Thump―

“You guys give me strength.”

Thump―

He felt like he was about to collapse from the three consecutive attacks, but.

“I’ll leave the work to you and go to the Demon World.”

Fortunately, the next attack didn’t come, so he didn’t collapse.

‘Phew, if I had heard that one more time, I would have confessed that I had no such intention.’

‘…Sigh, I have to work hard from now on.’

‘I can’t betray his trust…! Ribbit, ribbit.’

As the Jungsin Cult members sighed in relief.

‘They’re all so cute in their thoughts.’

Jung Minwoo, who was reading their minds through ‘Mind’s Eye,’ was bursting into laughter inwardly.

‘Their reactions are so funny that I couldn’t help but tease them.’

He had used ‘Mind’s Eye’ out of curiosity about what they were planning to do after he left for the Demon World, but he ended up playing an unexpected prank.

‘Let’s stop teasing them here. It’s time to leave.’

T h i s w a s co p i e d f r om k i n g m tl. o r g
If he continued teasing them, the Jungsin Cult members wouldn’t be able to bear the weight of their conscience.

‘Shall we go?’

Jung Minwoo grabbed the necklace hanging around his neck and poured demonic energy into it.

Whoo―ung.

A blue portal appeared in the air.

‘It’s strange to see a blue portal after seeing only dark red portals every day.’

It was only natural for him to feel awkward seeing a blue portal after several years.

“See you in twenty days.”

Jung Minwoo said his last goodbye to the Jungsin Cult members before stepping into the portal.

“See you then.”
T h i s was c o pi ed f r om ki n g m tl .o r g

Venus smiled brightly and waved her hand.

“Y, yeah, go ahead.”

“…I’ll be waiting.”

“Minwoo, be careful! Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Jungsin Cult members followed suit a beat later, saying their goodbyes.

“Alright, I’ll be back.”

Jung Minwoo stepped into the portal, seen off by the Jungsin Cult members.

As he passed through the portal.

“Oh, Minwoo, you’re here?”

Gorion, the demon in charge of the station, called out his name in a friendly voice.

“Are you here to ask for coordinates again today?”

“No, I’m here to see the Great Demon Lord.”

Jung Minwoo shook his head and answered Gorion’s question.

“The Great Demon Lord? He’s not at the castle right now.”

Gorion informed him that Satan was not currently at the castle.

“He’s not? Where did he go?”

“He went to a meeting.”

“What meeting?”

Jung Minwoo expressed his curiosity about the meeting.
Th i s w as c o p i ed f r o m k in g m t l.o rg

“What other meeting could it be? He went to the ‘Demon Lord Meeting’ that’s held every five hundred years.”

“Ah…”

Gorion kindly explained what kind of meeting Satan was attending.

‘I should have made an appointment in advance…’

Jung Minwoo looked troubled and asked when Satan would return.

“He’ll be back by tonight at the latest.”

Fortunately, he was able to find out that it wouldn’t take long.

“That’s a relief. Thanks for letting me know.”

“You’re welcome.”

Jung Minwoo thanked Gorion and left the portal station to make an appointment.
