The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 156

Chapter 156: Dragon (2)

Jung Minwoo felt the emotion of anger towards a higher being for the first time in his life, at the unprecedented disregard he received.

‘…How dare he call me a bat bastard?’

To be fair, the dragon didn’t actually say it out loud, just thought it, but that didn’t matter to Jung Minwoo.

He wanted to rip the lizard in front of him to shreds right now, but…

‘No… Think calmly, Minwoo.’

If he were to kill it, he would have to mobilize his Demon Servants, and that could disrupt his invasion activities.

‘…Right, I can’t let anger ruin my plan.’

Th i s w a s c o p i e d fr o m k i n g mt l. o r g
Jung Minwoo exercised superhuman patience and decided to be magnanimous this time.

‘I can always exploit him after I corrupt him…’

He firmly resolved to correct the dragon’s arrogant thoughts once he corrupted him.

“I think you know who I am.”

After calming himself down, Jung Minwoo spoke to the Red Dragon, but…

“I know, aren’t you the bat bastard?”

“…”

Jung Minwoo’s heart began to boil like an active volcano at the Red Dragon’s abusive language.

‘…No, I must have misheard.’

There was a very slim chance that he might have misheard, so he decided to ask again.

“…What did you say?”

“Can’t you understand in one go? Are your ears rotten or something?”

The Red Dragon scoffed and spoke, confirming that Jung Minwoo had heard correctly.

“Just answer my question…”

Jung Minwoo decided to endure it one last time, giving the dragon a chance, but…

“I said bat bastard. Why, you want me to say it again?”

The Red Dragon kicked away his last chance.

“…Can you handle the consequences of that statement?”

Jung Minwoo glared at the Red Dragon, emitting a strong killing intent.
T h is wa s co p ied f r o m kin g m tl . o r g

Flinch―

The Red Dragon shuddered for a moment, but…

“Consequences? What consequences? You can’t do anything here anyway.”

He quickly began to provoke Jung Minwoo with an arrogant expression.

‘So he’s using the fact that I can’t touch him like this…’

He wondered why the dragon was acting so confidently, and it turned out he was aware of his untouchable status and was using it to his advantage.

‘And this situation doesn’t seem to be the first time either…’

Moreover, the dragon seemed accustomed to provoking, leading Jung Minwoo to speculate that he had received numerous offers from demons.

“I can tell you’re here to corrupt me, but you’d better get out of my sight before you suffer further humiliation.”

Clear disregard. No, it was beyond disregard, it was condescension.

‘Even before reincarnation, I never received such treatment…’

The Red Dragon’s last remark made Jung Minwoo erase the option of corruption and leave only the option of killing.

‘You messed with the wrong demon.’

He didn’t know how other demons were, but he was the kind of demon who always took revenge, no matter what.

‘Your arrogance won’t last long.’

Jung Minwoo felt no value in dealing with the Red Dragon any longer and turned his back.

“…Let’s go back.”

When he suggested to the Demon Communion members that they should return…

“””…”””

They glared at the Red Dragon with murderous eyes and nodded.

As they were about to leave the lair…

“Geez, you’re leaving but you’re still creating a gloomy atmosphere. Get out of my sight quickly.”

The Red Dragon continued to provoke them with his words until the very end.

‘Fine… Let’s see if you can maintain that arrogant attitude even on the brink of death.’

He knew he would only lose more by engaging further, so he tried to leave the lair without saying anything. At that moment…

“You’re dead meat.”

Anubis appeared in front of the Red Dragon, raising her voice.

“…You weren’t alone?”

The Red Dragon was momentarily flustered by her sudden appearance, but…

“Well, can you even kill me? If you can, then try it.”

He sneered and provoked Anubis.

“Hey!!! Fight me right now. Attack me right this instant!!!”

Anubis drew her greatsword and ordered him to attack, but…

“Why should I do that? If you’re not satisfied, you can attack first.”

The Red Dragon just ran his mouth, watching the demons tremble in anger.

“Do you only fight with your mouth?”

“Of course. Who fights with their body like a brute? It’s enough to subdue the enemy using Dragon Language.”

“…”

Anubis, a physical fighter, couldn’t counter the Red Dragon’s words and eventually closed her mouth.

“Anubis, calm down. There’s no point in dealing with him.”

Jung Minwoo tried to soothe Anubis and lead her outside, but…

“…He’s quite talkative for a lizard.”

“How dare you mock Anubis?! Ribbit, ribbit.”

Elin and Rok, unable to stand it any longer, appeared and joined the verbal battle.

“Shut up, little girl and frog.”

“”…””

Unlike their confident appearance, Elin and Rok couldn’t find anything to say in response to the Red Dragon’s words and just mumbled.

“Tsk tsk, if you had just left quietly, you wouldn’t have been treated with such disdain. You’re truly foolish.”

As the mockery continued, the faces of the Demon Communion members turned red.

“You’d better stop there.”

Venus appeared, joining the verbal spar.

“Venus!”

“…Venus!”

“Venus! Ribbit, ribbit!”

The faces of the gloomy Demon Communion members brightened at the appearance of their reliable backup.

“And who are you? You’d better keep your mouth shut if you don’t want to be humiliated.”

Th i s w a s c o p ie d f r o m ki n g mt l . o r g
The Red Dragon showed off his eloquent speech at the sight of new prey, but…

“Really? I don’t think I’ll be humiliated by someone who only talks big because they’re afraid to fight.”

Venus countered the Red Dragon’s words with a calm expression.

“…What?”

“I can tell you’re feeling inferior to demons, am I right?”

“What nonsense are you…”

“Why is it nonsense? Aren’t you provoking us because you feel inferior to the mighty power of demons?”

“That’s because you’re bothering me…”

“You call a simple greeting bothersome?”

“That…”

“Do you gain anything by provoking us like this?”

“…”

“You’re doing it even though there’s nothing to gain? From my perspective, it just seems like you’re jealous due to your inferiority complex.”

“…”

Venus, not for nothing the second-best graduate of the training center, crushed the Red Dragon with her words.
Th i s w a s c o p i e d fr om k i n g m t l . o r g

“I don’t know what kind of demons you’ve met so far, but you will regret this incident for a long time.”

“…Regret it, you say?”

The Red Dragon expressed his doubt with an anxious look at Venus’s meaningful words.

T h i s w as c o p i e d f r o m k i ng m tl .o r g
“Unlike other demons, this person is on the verge of ascending to the Demon Lord’s throne.”

Venus pointed at Jung Minwoo and introduced him as the demon who would soon become a Demon Lord, causing sweat to trickle down the Red Dragon’s face.

Moreover, the Red Dragon, realizing that the situation was taking a strange turn, began to look around nervously.

“Well, let’s see if you can maintain the same attitude even after your entire body is dismembered.”

Venus turned her back, as if she had finished saying everything she wanted to say.

“Everyone, let’s go.”

As they were about to leave the place without any regrets…

“W-Wait, on second thought, I think I went too far with my words…!”

The Red Dragon belatedly apologized, but…

“You will have to pay for your words with your life.”

“…”

Venus scoffed and left the words that it was already too late.

‘Her words are like flowing water!’

Jung Minwoo felt a sense of relief, as if a lump in his throat had cleared.
T h i s w a s c o p ie d f r o m k i ngm t l . o r g

“Let’s get out of this filthy place quickly.”

“Yes.”

Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members nodded at Venus’s words and exited the Dragon Lair.

And the Red Dragon, left alone in the lair…

‘I’m screwed.’

He realized that he had messed with the wrong opponent and had a bad feeling about this.

As they came out of the Red Dragon’s lair…

“Venus, that was amazing!”

“…I feel so relieved.”

“Damn, I knew I could trust you! Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Demon Communion members gave Venus a thumbs up.

“I just said what needed to be said.”

Venus shrugged, as if it was nothing special, and then…

“Minwoo-nim, what are you going to do now?”

She asked about what to do with the Red Dragon.

“Kill him.”

Jung Minwoo answered without a moment’s hesitation. Venus spoke with a slightly worried expression.

“Is there a way? It’s not a good time to mobilize other Demon Servants.”

“We need to corrupt another dragon and make it kill him.”

“…Another one?”

“Yes, I’m going to corrupt the next strongest one.”
T h i s w a s co p i ed fro m k i n g mt l . o r g

Venus listened to the explanation and nodded in understanding.

“In other words, you’re going to recruit the second-in-command.”

“That’s right.”

“What if the second-in-command also refuses to be corrupted?”

“Then, I’ll have to corrupt all the races here and wipe out the dragons.”

T his w a s c o p ie d f r o m k i n g m tl . o r g
No matter how transcendental dragons were, they were still higher beings, and it would be difficult for them to win against all the other races.

‘I can’t stay here all the time because of my schedule, but I can visit the planet whenever I have time and corrupt them little by little.’

It would take some time to corrupt all the races, but since dragons had long lifespans, it wouldn’t be a problem for Jung Minwoo to take his revenge.

“Alright, then let’s go find the second-in-command right away.”

T h i s wa s co p i ed f r o m k i n g m tl.o r g
Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members set out to find the next strongest dragon after the Red Dragon.

Meanwhile, in another Dragon Lair…

‘Why can’t I surpass Kaiser?’

A dragon was deep in thought.

‘There’s nothing I’m better at than her, be it strength, magic, or even Dragon Language.’

She had been training for thousands of years to surpass the Dragon Lord, ‘Kaiser,’ but every time, she only tasted defeat.

‘Do I have no talent?’

Other dragons praised her, saying that being the second-in-command was a great position, but…

‘…I’ll never be satisfied with this position.’

If she wasn’t the number one, she couldn’t fulfill her desires.

‘…Is it impossible to overcome the limitations of my race?’

One might wonder how it was possible for dragons to have different limitations when they were the same species, but…

Dragons were also divided into various subspecies.

Red Dragons had a strong advantage in manipulating fire.

Black Dragons like her, on the other hand, excelled in manipulating demonic energy.

‘Demonic energy is no less powerful than fire…’

However, the drawback was that demonic energy was extremely scarce.

Demonic energy could be obtained through negative energy, while mana was naturally occurring, so it was bound to be relatively less abundant.

‘If I made a contract with a demon, I could solve the chronic problem of demonic energy…’

She was willing to sell her soul to a demon if it meant she could become stronger, but…

‘They didn’t even look at me, they were all interested in Kaiser and then disappeared…’

Unfortunately, demons weren’t interested in her.
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i n g mt l . o r g

‘Sigh… Should I really give up now?’

Exhausted from thousands of years of challenges, she was seriously considering giving up on the ‘Dragon Lord’ position when…

― Do you need power?

The words she had been longing to hear flowed into her ears.
