The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 162
Chapter 162: The Seven Demon Generals (2)
10 years have passed since then.
‘Time has already passed like this.’
The day of the invasion meeting has arrived.
‘Fortunately, I was able to prepare the planet list within the time limit.’
I barely finished preparing two days ago, but if it had taken a little longer, I would have almost broken my promise with the Demon Servants.
‘This time, as soon as I distribute the list, I need to start preparing right away.’
Now, I have to find 8,899 planets, so I’ll be even busier than now, so it’s better to prepare in advance.
‘Now that I’m all set, shall we go out?’
Jung Minwoo put the bundle of documents into the subspace and went out to the training ground.
“Dragon Lord, Lilac greets Master.”
“Lord of Vampires, Vlad Tempest, greets Master.”
“Huhuhu, Isaac Hymer, the lord of death, greets the almighty Master.”
He could see that the three newly corrupted leaders were seated on the training ground.
‘Everyone looks bright.’
Seeing their faces slightly flushed, he could tell that they were looking forward to this meeting.
‘They must be looking forward to seeing the other leaders.’
The day before, he had connected the portal for the invasion along with the portals to the planets where the leaders lived, so they hadn’t seen the other leaders yet.
‘I want to introduce them quickly.’
He was curious about how the leaders would react when they faced each other, so he wanted to arrange the meeting as soon as possible.
“Yes, it’s been a while, everyone.”
T h i s wa s c o p ie d f r o m k i n g mt l. o r g
Jung Minwoo accepted the greetings from the leaders and at the same time.
“Then, let’s move right away.”
He immediately ordered them to move to the meeting room.
“I will obey your command.”
“As Master wills.”
“Huhuhu, understood.”
The leaders replied politely and were about to move according to the order, when.
“Wait, Lilac. You can’t go in like that, so use ‘Polymorph’ to reduce your size.”
Jung Minwoo stopped Lilac and asked her to reduce her size.
“Ah, I understand. How should I change my appearance?”
“Do as you please.”
“Oh, yes!”
Lilac nodded and used her transformation magic.
Whooosh.
Demonic energy enveloped her body, and her size began to shrink rapidly.
When her size had shrunk to about the size of a human.
Flash.
The demonic energy dispersed, revealing Lilac’s appearance.
‘Hoo…’
Jung Minwoo let out a shallow sigh of admiration inwardly at Lilac’s changed appearance.
Contrary to his expectation that her skin would be black, she had white skin.
Her hair was black and bobbed, and her eyes were reptilian.
She had a rather plain impression, but her dark circles under her eyes gave her a gloomy atmosphere.
He could see two black horns on her forehead and a dragon’s tail on her buttocks.
‘She has a distinct personality.’
He thought idly that he wouldn’t forget her face because of her unique appearance.
“Is this enough?”
In response to Lilac’s question, Jung Minwoo told her it was enough and moved to the meeting room with the leaders.
Creak―
As he entered the meeting room.
“””Salute!”””
The leaders and high-ranking officials already there saluted and greeted them.
‘All eyes are on the back.’
He could see them glancing at the new leaders, as if they were concerned.
“Yes, nice to meet you.”
Jung Minwoo returned the salute and then.
“Before I give you the promised reward, I will introduce the Demon Servants who have newly joined us.”
He turned his gaze to the leaders behind him and said.
T hi s w a s c o p i ed fr om k i n gm t l . or g
“Lilac? You come out first and briefly introduce yourself.”
He called Lilac first.
“Nice to meet you all. I am Lilac, the Dragon Lord, who has become Master’s new servant.”
Lilac slightly lifted the hem of her skirt with two fingers and bowed her head to the existing leaders.
“Vlad? Come out and introduce yourself.”
Next, he called Vlad.
“I am Vlad Tempest, the Vampire Lord, who has found new hope in Master.”
T his w a s c o p i ed f r o m ki n g mtl . o r g
Vlad placed his right hand on his chest and bowed his head in greeting.
T h i s w a s c o pie d fro m k i n g m tl . o r g
“Bones, no, Isaac? Come out and introduce yourself.”
Finally, he called Isaac.
“Huhuhu! I am Isaac Hymer, the lord of death, reborn thanks to the Demon Lord.”
Isaac laughed heartily and introduced himself with an exaggerated gesture, stretching out both arms.
“Now that the introductions are over, let’s have some time to greet each other.”
Jung Minwoo stepped back a few steps, allowing them to talk freely.
“””Nice to meet you…”””
The existing leaders approached the newly joined Demon Servants, briefly introduced themselves, and began to converse.
‘They’re sizing each other up.’
They were talking and laughing with each other, but there was a subtle tension between them.
Th is wa s c o p ie d fr o m ki n g m t l.o r g
‘They must be seeing each other as competitors to crush.’
The reaction was the opposite of when William joined.
One might wonder why.
‘William is an original member, and they are newly joined members, so the reactions are bound to be different.’
William was accepted without being rejected because he was a symbolic figure as the first Demon Servant, so there was bound to be a different reaction.
‘A 4 to 3 structure… This will be fun to watch.’
Th i s w a s c op i e d fro m k i n g m t l . o r g
Jung Minwoo was looking forward to seeing what they would do in the future.
‘By the way, now that the seven-member system has been decided, I need to give the group a name, right?’
It didn’t make sense that the leaders representing each planet were gathered without even a group name.
‘Hmm, there are seven of them, so… shall I call them the Seven Demon Generals?’
Seven Demon Generals (七魔將).
Literally, seven leaders were gathered, so the name seemed perfect.
‘It seems plausible?’
Jung Minwoo was satisfied with his pretty good naming sense and opened his mouth, looking at the leaders.
“Let’s stop greeting each other for now. Now that all the leaders are here, I’ll tell you the group name.”
At the mention of a group name, curiosity flickered across the faces of the leaders.
“The group name is ‘Seven Demon Generals’, so keep that in mind.”
And he told them the group name he had just made up.
“It’s a wonderful name.”
“It has a considerable ring to it.”
“I will keep it in mind.”
“It’s so cool!”
“Ah, oh.”
“It’s a strong-sounding name.”
“I will engrave it in my skull!”
Perhaps they liked the group name, a satisfied smile appeared on the lips of the leaders, no, the Seven Demon Generals.
‘Then, shall I give them the reward now?’
Now that he had given them a group name, it was time to give them the promised reward.
“Then, before I give you the planet list, let’s have a time to bestow the rewards.”
Afterwards, Jung Minwoo gave rewards in descending order to Gob, World Tree, Elvis, and William.

After Jung Minwoo left the planet list and departed.
“””…”””
The Seven Demon Generals remained silent in a subtle atmosphere.
“Let’s take some time to look over the planets and choose the ones we want.”
The first to break the silence was Elvis.
“It will take a long time to look at 1,000 planets, so let’s check them out quickly.”
World Tree followed suit, and they were about to take time to examine the planets individually, when.
“Why bother looking through them? I think it would be better to just divide them into 142 each and invade the remaining one together.”
Vlad objected.
For a moment, Elvis’s expression hardened, but.
“Each of us has planets that we specialize in, don’t we? So, I would appreciate your cooperation.”
He quickly corrected his expression and asked for their understanding.
“We’re competitors anyway, why should we be considerate of such circumstances?”
T h i s was copi e d f r o m k ing m t l . o r g
However, Vlad snorted and refused Elvis’s request for understanding.
“…”
A frown appeared on Elvis’s face, which always wore a smile.
“Sigh…”
As Elvis rubbed his face and sighed.
“We may be competitors, but broadly speaking, we are those who serve the Demon Lord, aren’t we? So, wouldn’t it be better to compromise on this?”
World Tree stepped forward and supported Elvis’s opinion.
“I also think it would be better to follow Elvis-nim’s opinion.”
“You must also have planets where you can show your strength, right? So, let’s take some time to look over the planets.”
Gob and William also supported Elvis’s opinion.
“Thank you.”
Elvis expressed his gratitude to those who supported his opinion and then looked at Vlad and said.
“Four people have agreed, so how about we take some time to look over the planets?”
“…”
When Vlad made a displeased expression and didn’t answer.
“Then, I’ll take it that you understand.”
Elvis picked up the documents and was about to take time to check them, but.
“I don’t think it’s right to decide by majority vote…? There are three of us and four of you, aren’t there?”
“Huhuhu, I agree with Vlad-nim’s opinion.”
Lilac and Isaac objected.
“Then, the three of you can invade the planets left after we choose.”
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i n g m t l .o rg
Elvis suggested another solution in a slightly sharp voice.
“If one of us won’t do it, I think none of us should do it.”
“That’s a bit…”
“Huhuhu, your joke is going too far.”
Vlad, Lilac, and Isaac shook their heads, rejecting the new solution.
Elvis was someone who used honorifics to everyone, but.
“Then what do you want to do?”
He gave up on using honorifics due to the continued friction.
T h is wa s c o pi e d from kin g m tl. o r g
“You’re being informal?”
When Vlad frowned and pointed out his tone of speech.
“You’ve always been informal, so who are you to point fingers?”
Elvis immediately retorted.
Crackle―
The atmosphere was as if a fight was about to break out at any moment.
As they glared at each other and exuded their energy.
T h i s w a s c o pi e d f r o m k i ng m t l .o r g
“It doesn’t seem like we’ll be able to reach an agreement, so how about we decide through a duel?”
Isaac suggested a new method.
“…Fine. I think we need to establish a hierarchy this time.”
When Elvis agreed to Isaac’s suggestion.
“I like it too.”
“I tried to get along, but it seems like that’s not going to happen.”
“Do you think you can handle it?”
World Tree, Gob, and William also expressed their willingness to duel.
“Is this what they call… breaking in the newbies?”
“I was just wondering what your blood would taste like, so this is good.”
Lilac and Vlad also expressed their willingness to duel, showing their competitive spirit.
“Since there are four of us, we’ll exclude one person.”
Elvis said that he would exclude one person to make it fair, but.
“Huhuhu!!!”
Isaac burst out laughing, clutching his ribs, as if he had heard a funny joke.
“We can proceed as is. It’s obvious that you’ll be no match for me anyway.”
Then he flashed his red eyes and said that he didn’t mind fighting as is.
“I don’t mind either…”
“The more blood I taste, the better.”
Lilac and Vlad followed suit, saying that they didn’t mind fighting as is.
“…I see.”
At their words, Elvis nodded and stood up from his seat, then.
“Then follow me outside right now. I’ll trample and crush you.”
He demanded a duel right away.
“Huhuhu, very well.”
“That’s what I wanted.”
“I hope your blood tastes good.”
Afterwards, the Seven Demon Generals decided to duel on Isaac’s planet, ‘Lisker’, so as not to damage ‘Liger’ planet.
