The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 171

Chapter 171: The Prisoner Rebellion (2)

As soon as Alan arrived on the continent, he rushed towards a nearby kingdom with the prisoners.

‘My body feels so light!’

The scenery around him changed every second at such a rapid speed.

‘I can’t believe I can run this fast…!’

Moreover, despite running at such a high speed, it didn’t feel tiring.

Of course, he could move like this even before making a contract with the Demon Lord since he had already reached a high level.

‘How many years has it been?’

It had been a long time since he had run freely without restrictions, so he couldn’t help but feel a renewed sense of emotion.

After about 5 minutes of running,

‘I see the destination.’

A dazzling kingdom came into view in the distance.

‘They must have followed Raphael and received a lot of support…’
T h i s w as co p ied f rom kin g m t l .or g

The fact that the kingdom, which seemed on the verge of collapse back then, had changed this much meant that they had enjoyed a lot of wealth by acting as a puppet for the Holy Empire.

‘They must have grown by stealing the goods of the nations and tribes they destroyed.’

The thought of them growing fat just because they had a religion infuriated him.

‘Today, I will destroy this place.’

Alan took out the axe he had been carrying on his back with a fierce look in his eyes.

“I’ll launch the first attack!”
T h i s w as cop i ed f rom k i n gmtl.o rg

As he poured demonic energy into the axe,

Swoosh.

The axe instantly grew to the size of Alan.

“It’s time for you to spit out everything you’ve stuffed yourselves with!!!”

Whoosh.

He then threw the axe towards the castle gate with all his might.

Shhhhwack!

With a sharp sound that cut through the air, the axe flew towards the gate.

As the axe hit the gate,

Crrrrraaaash!

T hi s w as c o pied f r o m k i ng m t l .o r g
Rumble rumble rumble-

The gate shattered, and even the outer wall collapsed helplessly.

“””Let’s go!!!”””

The prisoners who were behind took out their weapons and jumped into the collapsed wall.

As Alan retrieved the axe he had thrown and followed the prisoners inside,

‘There seems to be nothing for me to do.’

He could see the prisoners overwhelming the enemy, to the point of crushing them.

‘It’ll be over in 10 minutes.’

They were originally capable individuals, and now that they had become Demon Servants, who could stop them?

‘I can’t just watch either.’

Even if he just stood by, his comrades would invade the kingdom, but since he also wanted revenge, he had no intention of just watching.

As he looked around for a place to attack,

‘There it is.’

The royal palace located in the center of the city caught his eye.

‘It seems they haven’t touched that place yet.’

Alan quickly moved towards the royal palace before anyone else could.

‘If I kill the king of this place with my own hands, it would be a meaningful revenge.’

As he reached the royal palace and was about to enter the royal chambers,

“How dare you set foot in this place?”

Shing.

An old man guarding the door drew his sword, emitting a fierce aura.

‘Grand Sword Master level.’

He was puzzled to see a Grand Sword Master in an ordinary kingdom, but

‘There must be some reason.’
T h i s w a s co p ie d f r o m ki n g m tl . org

He wasn’t that curious, so he quickly dismissed his doubts.

‘I should test my strength this time.’

A Grand Sword Master level should be able to withstand his power a few times.

‘I seem to be twice as strong as when I was human.’

In the past, he wouldn’t have even been able to meet the eyes of such a strong person.

But now, he didn’t look like a strong person at all; he just seemed like a young kid who couldn’t control his power.

“If you withdraw your troops and leave now, I won’t hold you responsible. You wouldn’t want to commit meaningless killings, would you?”

Perhaps sensing the difference in power, the old man tried to persuade him instead of fighting.

“Don’t be ridiculous.”

Alan was sick and tired of persuasion, so he rejected the old man’s proposal without hesitation.

“Is that so…”

The old man let out a soft sigh as if disappointed, then

Whoosh!

“Then you shall die!”

He activated his Aura Blade and swung his sword.

A perfect surprise attack.

If he were an ordinary higher being, he would have died without even reacting to the attack, but

‘I can’t help but yawn.’

To Alan, who could exert power on par with a high-ranking executive, the old man’s movements just looked slow.

‘Shall I start by swinging lightly?’

As Alan gripped his axe and swung it towards the old man,

Shhhhwack!

“???”

The axe instantly reached the old man’s nose.

The old man’s sword hadn’t even reached Alan yet.

“!!!”

The old man pulled back his sword and bent his waist back as far as he could to avoid the attack, but

Slash!

He couldn’t completely avoid it, and a red line was drawn on his cheek.

“Ugh…!”

The old man was relieved that he was able to minimize the damage and was about to attack again when

Splat-

The place where the line was drawn split open, and blood gushed out.

“Argh?!”

The old man hurriedly tried to use mana to stop the bleeding, but

Sizzle-

The demonic energy that had accumulated on the wound violently rejected the mana, causing him to fail to stop the bleeding.

“What trick did you play?”

The old man glared at Alan and asked what trick he had played, but

“Oh, it also interferes with healing wounds.”

Instead of answering, Alan looked at the old man’s face with an intrigued expression.

“How dare you mock me?!”

The old man, thinking he was being mocked, exploded with deep anger and rushed at Alan, but

“You, die now.”

“…Huh?”

Slice-

His neck was cut off, and unfortunately, he couldn’t continue his next move.

Thud-

The old man died with a bewildered expression, realizing he had been attacked.

‘…The power I gained is no joke.’

Alan couldn’t hide his surprise as he looked at the old man’s body, which had turned into a cold corpse.

‘I’m glad I made a contract with the Demon Lord.’

He knew he had gained strong power, but he didn’t know it would be this powerful.

‘With this power, I can easily succeed in my revenge.’

Alan briefly marveled at his power, then

‘Then, how strong is the hero?’

He wondered about the hero’s strength.

‘He said I wouldn’t be able to withstand even a single blow and would die, so it’s best not to meet him.’

He wanted to test the hero’s strength, but he had no intention of throwing away his chance for revenge because of curiosity, so he decided to ignore it.

‘But it’s a good thing I didn’t head straight for the Holy Empire.’

At first, he felt deep regret for not heading straight for the Holy Empire, but

‘My power is strong, but I’m not skilled at handling it.’

He realized that his body was quite stiff from the previous battle and changed his mind.
T h is w a s c opie d fr o m ki n g m t l . or g

‘That place is full of other strong people besides the hero, so it’s better to attack when I’m fully prepared.’

If he had gone straight to the Holy Empire, his head would probably be rolling on the floor by now.

‘I hope the hero stays in the Holy Empire for a long time.’

Alan decided to loosen his stiff body and regain his original skills before the hero left the Holy Empire.

‘So, now that the obstacle is gone, shall we go take care of the king?’

He entered the royal chambers and headed towards the throne room where he expected the king to be.

“””Haaaaaaaah!”””

The knights and mages waiting in the throne room all launched a surprise attack at once.

‘I knew they were hiding even before I opened the door.’

He swung his axe towards the enemies.

Slash-

The necks of the enemies who were launching the surprise attack were cut, and they rolled on the floor.

Thud thud thud-

The enemies’ blood soaked into the red carpet, making the color even deeper.
T hi s w as co pie d f r o m ki n gm t l. org

“H-Hieeeek!”

The king, sitting on the throne, had a terrified expression on his face.

‘How unsightly.’

Alan frowned at the sight that was unbecoming of a king.

‘The king representing the nation is showing such a frightened face.’

Unlike the executed kings who had faced death while upholding their beliefs of not believing in religion,

‘Is that a king…?’

The king in front of him looked like nothing more than a scared pig.

He felt a sense of disgust, as if the fact that such a person was a king was an insult to the executed kings.

‘Well, since the kings with convictions are dead, only these fools are left.’

Alan pointed his axe at the king’s neck and spoke in a monotonous voice.

“Last words?”

“S-Save me!”

The king knelt down and begged for his life while clinging to Alan’s pants, but

“I heard your last words.”

Slash-

“Gah…?”

Alan cut off the king’s neck without hesitation as soon as he heard his last words.

Thump-

As the king’s heavy body collapsed on the floor,

“I guess the other comrades have finished cleaning up. Shall we go see?”

Alan wiped the blood off his axe and walked out of the royal chambers.

As he went outside,

“Boss, you’re here?”

He could see the prisoners with bright smiles in the middle of the city, which had turned into a sea of fire.

Their expressions contrasted with the scenery, but Alan also smiled brightly and moved towards them.

“Is it already over?”

“Hey, already? We got this powerful strength, so this is basic.”

The prisoner who used to be the tribe leader shrugged his shoulders and bragged in response to Alan’s question.

“That’s true. We got this powerful strength, so this is basic.”

Alan agreed with the tribe leader’s words and nodded his head.

“Boss, now that the invasion is over, what should we do now?”

“We have to continue invading until we get new orders from the Demon Lord-nim.”

“That sounds great.”

“Let’s move right away.”
T h i s w a s c o p ied fro m k i n g m t l . o r g

“Sure.”

Afterwards, Alan and the prisoners moved to invade another kingdom.

⊱ ஓ๑๑ஓ ⊰

Meanwhile, the hero, who had heard the news of a kingdom being invaded by the prisoners,

“Damn it…!!!”

He screamed, pulling his hair roughly.

Crash-

Unable to control his anger, he smashed all the furniture around him.

“H-Hero-nim, please calm down.”

The Saint, who had never seen such a sight before, trembled but tried to calm the hero down.

“Do I look like I can calm down right now?”

“…”

The Saint couldn’t help but close her mouth at the hero’s piercing gaze.

“Damn it, I can’t believe he made even the prisoners into Demon Servants and involved them in the invasion…”

The hero muttered in frustration and slumped down on the chair.

“At this rate, the prisoners in other prisons could also become Demon Servants and invade the kingdoms…”

There were a total of 5 island prisons, and if all of them became Demon Servants and participated in the invasion, it would be a huge blow.

“…Um.”

The Saint, who had been listening to the conversation, gauged the mood and then

“…Hero-nim?”

T h i s w as co pied f r o m k i ng m t l .or g
She cautiously called out to him.

T h is wa s c o p i e d f r o m ki n gm t l . o r g
“Sigh, why did you call me?”

The hero asked with a puzzled look why she had called him.

“…Well.”

The Saint gauged the mood once more and then said,

“Just now, we received a report that prisoners have escaped from the other 4 island prisons…”

“…”

She reported that the prisoners had fallen into the hands of the Demon Lord.

“Shit, nothing is going right.”

A harsh curse word came out of the hero’s mouth for the first time.

Flinch-

The Saint felt a deep sense of fear towards the hero, sensing the dissonance in his behavior.

“P-Please calm down. You weren’t originally like this, Hero-nim…”

Even though she was scared, she had a duty to calm the hero down, so she mustered her courage and offered words of comfort.

“…I seem to have gotten too agitated.”

Perhaps her words of comfort worked, as the hero let out a deep sigh and said,

“I guess I’ve become quite sensitive because the situation keeps getting worse. I sincerely apologize for showing such an unsightly behavior.”

He apologized for his actions.

“I-It’s okay.”

The Saint smiled awkwardly, patted the hero’s back, and comforted him.

“I know how heavy the burden you carry is, Hero-nim.”

“…Thank you.”

“If you ever have a hard time, please lean on me.”

“…Alright.”

The hero, who had somewhat regained his composure, then said,

“I want to be alone for a while.”

He politely asked the Saint to leave the room.
T hi s w a s cop ie d f r o m k i n g m t l .o rg

“Okay. Please call me whenever you need me.”

After the Saint left the room,

“Sigh… I lost control of my emotions, unlike myself.”

He looked out the window and smiled wryly.

The hero’s sensitive behavior might seem strange, but

He was already mentally exhausted from his fight with the Demon Lord.

And now, with a new invader using even more vicious tactics than the Demon Lord, it was only natural for his mind to crumble.

The hero wanted to throw away his duty and run away from all of this, but

“No, I shouldn’t think like that.”

He couldn’t do that, as it would be abandoning humanity.

“…Right, if I crumble here, things will go the way the Demon Lord wants. Pull yourself together.”

The hero managed to regain his composure and vowed to protect humanity.
