The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 182

Chapter 182: The End of the Invasion (1)

I thought that corrupting the Hero would grant me even more Demonic Energy than killing him, since killing him alone would give me a large amount.

‘But to think it would be this much…’

As I received an amount of Demonic Energy beyond my expectations, I could feel a different kind of omnipotence.

‘If I obtain the Demon Lord’s remnants here, it’ll be insane.’

Jung Minwoo expressed his anticipation, recalling what Satan had said.

‘When the invasion ends, I might even be able to rival the power of a 72nd ranked Demon Lord.’

Taking a deep breath, I calmed my excited emotions.

“””Ah, ah…”””

The sight of the Demon Communion members, completely drunk on power, came into view.

‘Their total Demonic Energy has increased to a level incomparable to before.’

Looking through ‘Demon Eye’, their Demonic Energy had increased several times compared to before.

‘With that much Demonic Energy, passing the promotion exam is a given.’

Jung Minwoo decided to leave the Demon Communion members alone until they came to their senses, and shifted his gaze towards the Hero.
T h i s w a s c o pi e d f r o m k i n g m t l. org

“Uwaaaaaaaaaaagh!”

He saw the Hero writhing in pain, his body engulfed in black flames.

For a moment, he thought about using ‘Heaven’s Eye’ to check his information.

‘No, let’s not check.’

He decided not to check the Hero’s information.

‘Why bother checking the information of someone who’s about to die?’

It was pointless to check the information window since the Hero would soon meet his demise.

‘I can’t accept the Pigeon’s dog as my subordinate.’

It would only muddy the waters if he accepted him as a subordinate.

‘I don’t like his way of thinking either.’

Even considering his unstable mental state, the Hero had a very selfish way of thinking for a Hero.

‘And if I kill him, I’ll get more Demonic Energy as an achievement, so it’s a win-win.’

He wasn’t sure if it would be recognized as an achievement because the Hero was corrupted, but it didn’t matter if he didn’t receive it.

As he waited for the black flames to die out.

Chiiiiik—

10 minutes later, the black flames extinguished, revealing the Hero.

‘Nothing has changed from before.’

He thought the Hero’s hair color might have changed, but there was no difference from before.

“This is Demonic Energy…”

The Hero seemed fascinated by his new power, staring blankly as he gathered Demonic Energy in his hand.

“If Holy Power feels like protection, then Demonic Energy feels like destruction…”

He also showed proficiency in handling Demonic Energy, as if it suited him.

‘He’s talented, as expected of a Hero.’

After William, the Hero was the first to handle Demonic Energy so skillfully.

‘Well, it’s natural for him to handle it well since he became a Demon Servant after surpassing the limits of his realm.’

Jung Minwoo finished his brief thought and spoke to the Hero.

“As per the contract, I’ll transfer the Saint’s ownership to you.”

At the mention of transferring ownership, the Hero stopped observing his power and.

“Ah! Alright.”

He replied energetically, his eyes shining.

“Isaac?”

Jung Minwoo turned his gaze to Isaac, who stood behind him.

“I’ll begin right away.”

Isaac replied respectfully and approached the Hero.

“I’ll transfer the Saint’s ownership, so accept it without resistance.”

“Alright.”

Then, Isaac placed his hand on the Hero’s chest and manipulated his Demonic Energy.

“…Ah!”
T h i s wa s co pi e d fr o m kin gm t l . o rg

“…Ah!”

The Hero and the Saint could feel their souls connecting.

“The ownership has been successfully transferred to you. From now on, the Saint will only obey your commands.”

When Isaac explained that the ownership had been completely transferred.

“Thank you.”

The Hero bowed his head, expressing his gratitude.

Then, he turned his gaze to the Saint and carefully took her hand.

“Saint-nim, let’s put down your heavy burden and live a comfortable life together.”

He said, asking her to spend a happy time with him.

“…A, Alright.”

As if her previous reluctance was an act, the Saint blushed and nodded.

“Now, let’s go to the Holy Empire and persuade the people.”

“Shall we?”

The two were about to head towards the Holy Empire, hand in hand, when.

“I’m sorry, but there’s no need for that.”

Jung Minwoo blocked their path, preventing them from moving.

“There’s no need? What do you mean?”

The Hero frowned, seemingly offended by being blocked, and asked for an explanation.

“Because you’re going to die here now.”

Although the Hero’s behavior was quite disrespectful, the magnanimous Jung Minwoo chuckled and kindly explained the reason.

“…What?”

T h i s w a s co p i e d fr o m k i ngm t l . or g
The Hero, realizing that the atmosphere had taken a strange turn, drew his holy sword, no, the sword that had transformed into a demonic sword after being infused with Demonic Energy.

“Do I need to repeat myself? I said you’re going to die here.”

Jung Minwoo smirked and repeated the same explanation.

“You were planning this from the beginning?!”

The Hero roared in anger and swung his demonic sword.

Or rather, he tried to.

Uddook—

— Stop.

If it weren’t for Jung Minwoo’s Demonic Energy-infused command that stopped his body.

“Wh, Why can’t I move?”

The Hero tried to move his body by forcing strength into it, but unfortunately, the contract was absolute, and he couldn’t disobey Jung Minwoo’s command.

“What’s the reason for this…?!”

Realizing he couldn’t move, the Hero appealed to Jung Minwoo’s sense of injustice, but.

“I can’t have the Pigeon’s dog under my command.”

Jung Minwoo scoffed, as if asking what he had expected.

“You son of a bitch!!”

Realizing that Jung Minwoo had no intention of letting him live from the beginning, the Hero hurled insults at him, but.

“Enough. Die.”

Nothing would change even if he did that.

“I’ll leave this guy’s disposal to you.”

As Jung Minwoo stepped back.

“””As you command.”””

The Seven Demon Generals members smirked and drew their respective weapons.

Pzzzt—

Crack—

Slice—

Whoosh—

Kaboom—

Stab—

Swoosh—

And as they attacked simultaneously.

“Gah, Gahk?!”

The Hero could only stand still and endure their attacks.
T h i s wa s c o pied fr o m k in g m tl . o r g

“H, Hero-nim!”

The Saint tried to protect the Hero by shielding him with her body, but.

“Kyaaaaaaaagh!”

Lacking the ability to protect him, she was caught in the attacks as well.

After about 10 minutes of continuous attacks.

Thud—

The protector of humanity, no, the traitor of humanity, breathed his last along with the Saint, ending his life in vain.

‘Now that the Hero is dealt with, shall we finish the invasion?’

Jung Minwoo, confirming the Hero’s death, was about to give a new order to his commanders when.

【You have succeeded in killing the corrupted Hero.】

【You have achieved an accomplishment that no one else has achieved.】

【A large amount of Demonic Energy will be given as a reward.】

A message window appeared before his eyes.

T hi s w as c o pi e d fro m k i n g m t l . o rg
Rumble!

And like before, Demonic Energy began to surge from his body.

‘So they recognize this as an achievement too.’

The joy of the unexpected reward was doubled, as he hadn’t expected much.

‘…It might be possible to kill Raphael too.’

Originally, he had no intention of fighting Raphael, but.

‘With this power, I can kill her without any casualties.’

Now that he had gained power, the story was different.

‘I have to take this opportunity to kill Raphael while her power is restricted.’

Opportunities to kill a 1st Rank Pigeon were rare, so it was best to seize the chance when it presented itself.

‘I know where she went, so shall we move immediately?’

Afterwards, Jung Minwoo gave a brief order to the Seven Demon Generals members and headed towards the Holy Empire with the Demon Communion members.

⊱ ஓ๑๑ஓ ⊰

As Jung Minwoo expected, Raphael was in the Holy Empire.

‘A 1st Rank Bat dares to humiliate me?’

Raphael bit her finger, contemplating how to get revenge.

T h is w a s c op ie d f r o m k i ng m t l . or g
‘I will never tolerate being invaded like this!’

If she had been reluctant to be invaded before because of the stigma, now she couldn’t tolerate the defeat itself against Jung Minwoo.

‘Currently, all the people are Heroes… There’s nothing more I can do here.’

Contrary to her vow to get revenge on Jung Minwoo, unfortunately, there was nothing Raphael could do at the moment.

‘Is there really no way…?’

T his wa s c o p ie d f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g
Things would have been better if she could select a new Hero, but.

‘If only the Hero had died, I could have chosen a new one…’

Even though he was corrupted, the Hero was still the Hero, so she couldn’t select a new one unless he died.

As she bit her finger, expressing her anxiety.

【The corrupted Hero has died. There is a vacancy for the Hero position, and a new one can be selected.】

A message window appeared before her eyes.

T h i s wa s co p ie d fr om k i ng m t l. o rg
They say there’s a way out even if the sky falls, right?

She had thought there was no hope, but an opportunity to turn the tables had arrived.

‘That idiot, he killed the Hero!’

Raphael scoffed at Jung Minwoo’s foolish act and began to search for a new Hero to select.

‘Their talents are all mediocre…’

As there weren’t many humans left, only strong individuals remained, but she couldn’t find anyone with particularly outstanding talent.

‘Please, let there be at least one.’

As Raphael searched frantically, her eyes wide open.

‘Found it!!’

She found a Higher Being who seemed to have outstanding talent.

‘Was his name George?’

The sole survivor among the candidate Heroes, and the one with the strongest power among them.

Also, as the sole survivor of a rural village, he was a Higher Being filled with a desire for revenge against the invaders.

Considering various factors, he was worthy of being selected as the Hero.

‘He has a strong desire for revenge, so he won’t betray me like that fool before.’

However, there was one thing that bothered her.

‘I feel like I sense Demonic Energy…? Is it my imagination?’

She felt a faint trace of Demonic Energy from George.

‘Ah, it must be my imagination.’

Currently, her power was restricted, and the surrounding area was thick with Demonic Energy, so she thought it was possible that she was mistaken.

‘They’ll be here soon, so I need to finish the selection quickly.’

Raphael cleared her throat and.

— You possess the talent to become the Hero.

She delivered the oracle to George in a refreshing voice.

“Huh…?”

Startled by the sudden voice, George started looking around.

— George-nim, I’m talking to you.

She answered him, mentioning his name and confirming that she was indeed addressing him.

“…You’re saying I have the talent to become the Hero?”

George asked, looking bewildered.

— Yes, you possess the talent to become the Hero.

“But can you select another one while the current Hero is still alive…?”

— No. He has betrayed us and joined the invaders’ side.

“The Hero-nim betrayed us…?”

Thud—

As if shocked by the news of the betrayal, George collapsed to the floor.

— So, you must become the second Hero and protect humanity.

“C, Can I do it?”

— You can do it.
T h i s w a s c o p ie d f r o m k i n g m tl .o r g

George hesitated for a moment before answering.

“Alright… I’ll become the Hero.”

He said, with a determined look on his face, that he would become the Hero.

T hi s wa s c o p i e d f rom k i n g m t l. o r g
— That’s a wise choice.

Raphael had obtained the Higher Being’s consent, so she decided to infuse him with Holy Power to appoint him as the Hero.

‘If I infuse Holy Power normally, nothing will change.’

Even if she appointed him as the Hero, he wouldn’t be able to defeat the commanders in his newly appointed state.

‘I don’t use it often, but I have to use that method in this situation.’

Raphael decided to use an unconventional method to turn the situation around.

‘I’ll infuse him with the same amount of Holy Power as the previous Hero who was awakened, and in exchange, shorten his lifespan to just one day.’

There was a drawback that if she infused too much, he might not be able to handle the infused Holy Power, but now that they were at a disadvantage, it wasn’t the time to be picky.

A moment later, when she finished the infusion.

Flash—

Golden light erupted from George’s eyes, and.

Flap—

Like the previous Hero, wings made of Holy Power sprouted from his back.

‘It’s a success…!’

Thus, the second Hero was born on Groa planet.
