The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 158

Chapter 158: Dragon (4)

Meanwhile, the Red Dragon…

‘…Could something be happening?’

She was trembling with anxiety inside the Lair.

‘If I knew it was a demon on the verge of the Demon Lord’s throne, I wouldn’t have provoked it…!’

T h i s w a s c o p i ed f r o m k i ngm t l . o rg
Unlike other demons, she felt that its energy was unusual, but the Red Dragon had never imagined that it would soon become a Demon Lord.

‘Haah, I should have held onto it and apologized somehow…!’

If she had bowed her head and pledged allegiance, she might have been forgiven.

However, the opportunity had already been missed, so her life would eventually be taken by the demon’s hand.

‘Is there a way to survive against a demon…?’

Since she was still full of desire for life, the Red Dragon pondered ways to survive.

‘…Right, I’ll put all races under my feet and confront the demon.’

It would take some time for the demon to become a Demon Lord, so it seemed like she could prepare diligently during that time.

‘Even if it manifests here, it will only be able to use a portion of its power, so it will be possible to repel it.’

No matter how much of a Demon Lord it was, it would be difficult to deal with all higher beings.

‘Alright, let’s start preparing right now…!’

The moment she was about to leave the Lair.

Tingle―

She could feel someone with an ominous and creepy aura entering the Lair.

‘…This is a power I’ve never felt before.’

While she was at a loss as to how to deal with the overwhelming power.

Thump, thump, thump―

“Kaiser! I have come to receive the ‘Dragon Lord’ position!”

Lilac, the Black Dragon, walked in with a triumphant expression.

“…Lilac?”

The Red Dragon doubted her own eyes when she saw Lilac.

The reason she doubted her eyes was simple. The one who had always been trampled under her possessed a power she couldn’t even dream of.

“…You bitch, where did you get that power?”

Revealing her killing intent, she asked about the source of the power.

“Your language is still as vulgar as ever?”

Lilac snorted and easily brushed off the killing intent.

‘…She’s not even afraid anymore.’

Just a few days ago, she would have trembled at the sight of her killing intent, but now she looked so relaxed.

Th i s w a s co p i e d f r o m k in g m t l . or g
‘Where on earth did she get such power?’

As the Red Dragon felt puzzled about the source of the power.

“Don’t tell me… you were corrupted by a demon?”

Recalling the fact that the demon had offered her a contract a while ago, she realized where Lilac had obtained her power.

“That’s right. From today onwards, I will serve the Demon Lord.”

As if her guess was correct, Lilac nodded and readily admitted it.

“Do you have no pride as a dragon?!”

The Red Dragon frowned and rebuked her, but.

“Why is there no pride in making a contract with the Demon Lord?”

Lilac tilted her head and asked a question as if she genuinely didn’t understand.

“…”

The Red Dragon couldn’t find anything to say to her question and just opened and closed her mouth.
T h i s w a s c o pi e d fro m ki n gm t l .o r g

“So, it was just empty words?”

Lilac stared at the Red Dragon pathetically for a moment and then.

“Then, as per the Demon Lord’s order, I will kill you.”

She began to take a deep breath.

“W, wait!”

The Red Dragon raised her hand and tried to stop Lilac, but.

“Die.”

Fwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah―

As if she had no intention of listening, she unleashed her breath.

‘If I get hit directly, it’s over…!’

Feeling the threat to her life, the Red Dragon.

“Gasp!”

Flap her wings quickly and dodged the breath, but.

Sizzle―

“U, uaaaaaaaaaagh!”

Her tail came into contact with the acidic breath and melted instantly.

“Are you in pain?”

Lilac made a face as if she was worried for a moment, and then.

“You know, if you had died from the previous attack, you wouldn’t have to feel this pain.”

She approached the Red Dragon and swung her fist.

‘It’s impossible to completely avoid it…!’

Feeling bewildered by the fast movements that were hard to follow with her eyes, the Red Dragon stepped back, and then.

Thi s wa s c opi ed fro m k i n g m t l . o r g
Crack―――――!

“Kraaaaaaaaaaagh!!!”

Her right wing came into contact with the fist and broke easily.

“Oh my, you dodged again?”

Lilac made a pitiful expression and swung her fist once more.

‘I can’t avoid this…’

As the Red Dragon sensed her death from this attack.

Crack―――――!

“Kraaaaaaaaaaagh!!!”

The fist that was flying towards her face changed its course and struck her left wing.

“Oh my, it’s quite difficult to control since I haven’t had this power for long.”

At the sight of Lilac pretending to be innocent.

“…You bitch, you, intentionally didn’t kill me…!!”

She belatedly realized that she was being toyed with.

“Did I get caught?”

“You son of a bitch!!!”

The Red Dragon couldn’t control her anger and swung her fist, but.

Whoosh―

“You’re too slow.”

She easily dodged the attack and then.

Whirl, bam――――!

She swung her tail and struck her body.

“Ugh!”

Perhaps she controlled her strength, her body didn’t explode, but all the bones in her body were broken.

“…Cough! Why are you doing this?!”

Coughing up blood, she asked why she was being toyed with.

“Because you humiliated me in this way.”

Lilac scoffed and answered as if she didn’t know why she was doing this.

“When did I ever humiliate you in that way…”

She tried to argue out of frustration, but.

‘…So that’s how it was.’

Recalling the memories of inflicting all sorts of humiliation upon her, she closed her mouth.

“It seems like you’ve remembered. I won’t bother repeating what you did. I don’t want to dirty my mouth.”

“…”

The Red Dragon smiled bitterly at Lilac’s following words.

And she could clearly feel that her past actions had come back to her as karma.

“I shouldn’t have done that…”

The Red Dragon deeply regretted her past actions.

“I should have killed you right there instead of just humiliating you!!!”

Of course, it wasn’t regret for humiliating her, but regret for not killing Lilac.

Th i s w as co pi ed fr om k i n g m tl.o r g
“Let’s just die together!!!”

The Red Dragon tried to self-destruct by exploding her heart, but.

“No, you die alone.”

Crack―――!

Whirl, boom――――――――!

She swung her tail and crushed the Red Dragon’s head.

Boom――!

Then, the Red Dragon, losing her balance, collapsed to the floor and died.

Although she had risen to the position of Dragon Lord, she met an end unbefitting of her position due to her arrogance.

“Phew… The moment I’ve been waiting for has finally arrived.”

Crack――.

Lilac stepped on the Red Dragon’s cold corpse and moved towards the crown displayed behind it.

‘Now… I’m ascending to the position of Dragon Lord.’

She grabbed the displayed crown and carefully placed it on her head.

Slide―

The crimson crown turned black, and then.

【A new ‘Dragon Lord’ has been born.】

【The fact that a new master has been born is being conveyed to the dragons.】

T h is w as c o p i e d fr o m k i n gm tl . o r g
【The authority to rule the dragons is granted.】

【You can give orders to the dragons through telepathy.】

Several message windows appeared before her eyes.

“Ah, ah…”

Lilac looked at the message windows with a delighted expression.

‘I never thought the dream that seemed impossible to achieve would come true so easily.’

She felt awe for the demon’s power that had allowed her to achieve her lifelong goal.

‘I need to work hard to prove my worth from now on.’

In order to keep this power for a long time, she would have to continuously prove her worth.

‘Then, shall I finish the rest of the order?’

If she spent too much time on such a simple order, her abilities would be doubted.

Lilac closed her eyes, infused the crown with demonic energy, and then.

【Lilac, the Dragon Lord, will give you her first order! Invade all nations by today!】

Th i s wa s co pi e d fro m k ing m t l . o r g
She ordered them to invade within a day.

And after successfully completing her first order, Lilac.

‘Then, shall I move too?’

She decided to lend a hand in the invasion.

‘It’s not that I underestimate the abilities of the dragons, but the sooner the invasion is over, the better.’

Afterwards, Lilac left the Lair to carry out the planetary invasion.

The next day.

【’Dragony’ planet has been invaded.】

【A large amount of demonic energy is given as a reward.】

Seeing the message window that appeared before his eyes, Jung Minwoo realized that Lilac had completed the planetary invasion.

‘She completed the invasion in a day…?’

Jung Minwoo let out a low exclamation of admiration at her unexpectedly outstanding ability.

‘I thought it would be over quickly considering their race… but to finish in a day is unexpected.’

He had expected it to take at least a week, but Lilac had exceeded his expectations spectacularly.

‘It seems I’ve recruited a decent one.’

With this level of ability, she would be able to compete with other leaders without falling behind.

‘The small number is a drawback, but such a minor issue will be naturally resolved over time.’

As Jung Minwoo felt pleased with having obtained a useful demon servant from the first planet.

“It seems you’ve acquired a decent demon servant.”
T h i s wa s c op i e d f r o m ki n g m t l. o r g

Venus approached him and spoke.

“Indeed, I think I’ve obtained someone beyond my expectations.”

Jung Minwoo agreed with Venus and.

“Thanks to you all, I was able to increase my power further. Thank you.”

He expressed his gratitude to the Demon Communion members.

“I’m glad you recognize it.”

“…It was nothing.”
T his w as cop i ed f ro m k ing m t l.o r g

“It was worth the effort! Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Demon Communion members puffed out their chests and showed proud expressions.

“Then, shall we go see Lilac, who successfully completed the invasion?”

Afterward, when they visited Lilac’s lair with the Demon Communion members.

“I greet the almighty Demon Lords.”

As if waiting for them, Lilac bowed her head and greeted them.

“You completed the invasion in a day. As expected, my eyes weren’t mistaken.”

Jung Minwoo patted Lilac’s massive arm, commending her for her hard work.

“Ah, ah…”

Lilac trembled with a touched expression.

“I look forward to your future contributions.”

“I, I will live up to your expectations!”

At his words of anticipation, Lilac replied with a disciplined demeanor like a newly enlisted soldier.

“Now, I shall issue the next command.”

“I will listen attentively!”

“Focus on increasing your numbers until we contact you.”

“…How many should I increase the numbers to?”

At Lilac’s question, Jung Minwoo held up one finger and answered.

“We need to continuously invade planets, so we need at least 100 million.”

“1, 100 million…”

Lilac’s face turned pale at the daunting number.

“I, I will try my best.”

Considering that the current number was around ten thousand, 100 million would feel incredibly distant.

“I don’t mean you have to achieve it no matter what, so don’t feel too pressured.”

Dragons, who lived for an incredibly long time compared to other races, didn’t engage in breeding often, so he didn’t have high expectations.

“Then, since I’ve relayed the command, we’ll be on our way.”

“F, farewell!”

“I hope to see you even more grown when we meet next time.”

“I will live up to your expectations!”

Having finished giving the command to Lilac, Jung Minwoo.

“Shall we head to the next planet right away?”

He moved to the next destination, the planet inhabited by vampires, with the Demon Communion members.
