The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 184

Chapter 184: The End of the Invasion (3)

Charge at Raphael.

“H-Hik?!”

Startled, Raphael stepped back and swung her mace.

Whoosh.

It was a clumsy swing, but it carried immense power befitting a 1st Rank.

【Head】

However, to Jung Minwoo, who could read her thoughts through Mind’s Eye…

Whizz.

It was merely a crude attack that could be dodged by simply tilting his head back.

“D-Dodge?!”

As if her pride was hurt by having her attack easily dodged, Raphael gritted her teeth.

This time, she gripped the handle tightly and swung the mace as if determined to land a hit, but…

“Too many openings.”

Grab.

He easily stopped the attack simply by grabbing Raphael’s wrist.

Jung Minwoo raised his remaining hand in the air and said,

“Now it’s my turn, right?”

He struck Raphael’s abdomen with all his might.

Boooom!

“Cough!”

With a tremendous impact, Raphael’s waist bent in half as she was about to fly back. At that moment,

“Not so fast.”

Jung Minwoo tightly gripped her wrist to prevent her from flying away and swung his fist.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, baaaang!

Every time he swung his fist, noticeable bruises began to appear on Raphael’s face.
T h is w a s c o pi e d f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g

Bang, bang, bang, bang, baaaang!

After hitting her face, he struck her body, twisting her joints in unnatural directions.

“Nothing special, huh?”

Just as he was about to finish her off,

Flash!

A bright light flashed from Raphael’s body, instantly healing all her wounds.

“Whoa.”

He let out a genuine exclamation of admiration at her incredible recovery ability.

“Don’t underestimate me!”

Raphael, seizing the opportunity, swung her right leg.

Thud.

Jung Minwoo raised his left leg, blocking the attack, then retaliated by…

Bang, bang, bang, bang, baaaang!

…giving her another thorough beating, just like before.
T h i s w a s c op i e d f r o m k in g mtl .or g

【…Why, why aren’t my attacks working?】

Puzzled by the ineffectiveness of her attacks, a look of bewilderment appeared on Raphael’s face, and her thoughts formed into text.

【No, this is just luck, he managed to block them by chance. If I keep attacking, I’ll definitely hit him.】

However, unwilling to admit that his combat abilities were superior to hers, she simply dismissed it as luck.
T h i s w a s c op i e d f r o m k i n g m t l . o rg

【The next attack will be different!】

Just as she seemed to have regained her composure and adjusted her stance,

Grab.

“Thanks for the mace.”

Jung Minwoo didn’t miss the moment when Raphael momentarily loosened her grip on the mace and snatched it away.

It all happened in a flash.

“…Huh?”

Raphael, caught off guard, looked bewildered, as if she hadn’t expected to be disarmed.

“I’ll put it to good use.”

Jung Minwoo, with a satisfied smile at the feel of the gifted(?) mace in his hand, immediately swung it at Raphael.

Crack.

As the mace struck her waist,

“Gah!”

Raphael’s waist bent at an unnatural angle.

“Nice grip.”

Jung Minwoo, pleased with the impact of the mace, gave a satisfied smile, then…

Crack!

…brought the mace down on Raphael’s head.

“Ugh!”

As Raphael’s body fell to the ground,

“Don’t have all the fun yourself!”

Swish!

Anubis, her hair now dyed red from gray, glared fiercely and swung her greatsword towards Raphael.

“You lowly bat, how dare you!”

Raphael, unwilling to allow even Anubis to attack her, threw a punch with all her might, but…

Thud.

Anubis easily dodged, rendering the attack a failure.

“Yeah, you’re slow.”

T h is w a s co pi e d f r om k i ng m t l. o r g
Anubis scoffed at the clumsy attack, then…

“Die!!!”

Pierce!

…thrust her greatsword with all her might, piercing Raphael’s heart.

“Cough!”

Raphael coughed up blood and tried to grab Anubis’s shoulder to create distance, but…

“Don’t touch my comrade’s shoulder with your filthy hands.”

Venus appeared and swung her whip.

Whirl.
T h i s wa s co p i ed f r o m ki n g mt l. o r g

“Ugh?!”

The whip wrapped around Raphael’s neck, constricting her airway.

“You bitch…!”

T h i s w a s c o p i e d f rom kin gmt l . o r g
Raphael glared at Venus with murderous intent, but…

“Such insolent eyes.”

Stab.

Venus smiled sweetly and stabbed Raphael’s eyes with two fingers.

“Aaargh!!!”

As Raphael screamed and covered her eyes,

“My, how noisy you are.”

Rok, clad in green armor, appeared and threw a punch.

The moment his fist connected with Raphael’s abdomen,

Boooom!

A tremendous blast of air erupted, leaving a gaping hole in Raphael’s stomach.

“Gasp!”

Raphael, experiencing such excruciating pain for the first time in her life, turned pale, unable to even scream.

Crash!

As her body collided with the ground,

“…Die.”

Whirrr!

Elin, as if waiting for this moment, unleashed thousands of saw-blade-shaped winds at Raphael.

“Grrrr?!”

Raphael’s skin was shredded by the wind, and…

Voooom!

…she was sucked into the hurricane formed by the converging winds.

No 1st Rank pigeon could withstand such an onslaught.

The Demon Communion members, while remaining vigilant, watched the hurricane.

Step, step, step.

A figure emerged from the hurricane.

“Whew, I underestimated you bats. You’re quite strong, aren’t you?”

That figure was Raphael.

“But is this all you’ve got?”

She stood there, completely unharmed, the previous battered state vanished.

“This is rather disappointing.”

As if she had forgotten her screams of pain from earlier, Raphael wore an arrogant expression and taunted them.

‘How cute.’

Jung Minwoo chuckled at Raphael’s behavior.

【I can’t show weakness here… I need to pretend I’m fine and create a sense of unease.】

To Jung Minwoo, who could read her thoughts through Mind’s Eye, it was nothing more than a desperate struggle for survival.

“Then I’ll keep attacking until you’re satisfied.”

“Hmph, all talk.”

“…Coming from someone who screamed for her life.”

“Let’s see if you can say the same after you die.”

The other Demon Communion members, unable to read her thoughts, also seemed to have noticed Raphael’s transparent facade and responded with scoffs.

【…T-This isn’t right.】

Raphael was inwardly flustered by their unexpected reaction.

【Damn it… My bluff didn’t work?】

Her plan to create a sense of unease and exploit an opening for an attack had failed before she could even put it into action.

【No chance for a lucky break, huh…?】

Raphael gave a wry smile and retrieved a spare mace from her subspace.

【I have 100 more recoveries… I need to defeat them within that limit…!】

As Raphael was steeling herself,

‘100 recoveries remaining, huh…’

Jung Minwoo pondered how to quickly deplete her remaining recoveries.

After some thought, he concluded that there was no other way than to push Raphael to the brink of death and force her to use her unique trait.

‘Then, should I stop testing the waters and go all out?’

As he thought about copying a unique trait,

【Which demon’s unique trait would you like to copy?】

1. Rok

2. 555

3. Anubis

4. Elin

5. Venus

6. Lucifer

A message window appeared before him.

‘Normally, I would have copied Rok’s unique trait to quickly kill the enemy, but in this situation, where it’s clearly going to be a prolonged battle, it’s better to copy Anubis’s unique trait.’

Rok’s unique trait would allow him to quickly deplete her recoveries, but there was a risk of being defeated if he couldn’t kill her within the time limit.

‘I’ll copy numbers 3 and 6.’

After making his decision, he selected Anubis’s and Lucifer’s unique traits, and…

【Copying Anubis’s unique trait ‘Awakening’.】

【Copying Lucifer’s unique trait ‘Pride’.】

…message windows confirming the copying of the two unique traits appeared.
Th i s w a s co pi e d f r o m k i ng m t l . o r g

Thump!

Then, power surged through his body, his blood vessels bulged, and his eyes became bloodshot.

And as his black hair turned crimson as if soaked in blood,

“Whew…”

Jung Minwoo felt as if a volcano was erupting within him.

He looked at Raphael with his bloodshot eyes.

Flinch.

Raphael, meeting his gaze, trembled slightly.

She looked like prey caught in the sight of a predator.

‘She’s just a scared pigeon.’

It was pathetic to see a 1st Rank pigeon, said to be only four in existence, trembling in fear.

‘Maybe I can corrupt her?’

The thought of corrupting Raphael and making her his servant crossed his mind, but…

‘No, demonic energy is more important at this crucial time.’

It was more beneficial to gain demonic energy by completing achievements than to make her a servant. So he quickly dismissed the thought.

‘Then, shall we get this over with?’

Flap.

Jung Minwoo flapped his wings and approached Raphael.

“D-Don’t come any closer!”

Whoosh.

Raphael swung her mace and stepped back to create distance.

“I don’t want to.”

She seemed to be swinging with all her might, but…

Whizz, whizz, whizz, whizz, whizz, whizz, whizz.

…it didn’t even graze his clothes.

“Oh…?”

As he effortlessly dodged her attacks and reached Raphael, her face turned pale.

“Now it’s my turn to attack, right?”

He gathered demonic energy in his fist and struck Raphael’s face.

Boooom!
Th is w a s c o p i e d f rom ki n gmtl . org

With a tremendous blast of air, her face exploded, leaving nothing above her neck.

An ordinary pigeon would have been instantly killed by that attack, but…

Flash!

…being a 1st Rank pigeon, her head, which had vanished, reappeared with a flash of light.

“Ugh! Pant, pant!”

However, as if the mental aspect couldn’t be restored, Raphael gagged and gasped for breath.

“99 left, right?”

“H-How did you…?”

Raphael, her eyes trembling, asked how he knew, but…

Boooom!

…Jung Minwoo, unwilling to reveal his trade secrets, swung his fist instead of answering.

“That makes it 98.”

⊱ ஓ๑๑ஓ ⊰

Raphael’s desperate struggles followed, but…

Boooom!

Boooom!

Boooom!

Boooom!

Boooom!

.

.

.

.

No struggle could prevail against overwhelming force.

Having exhausted all her holy power, she could no longer use her unique trait.

Grab.

Jung Minwoo grabbed Raphael’s neck, ready to finish her off.

“Any last words?”

Since they had fought together, he decided to be generous and allow Raphael her last words.

“S-Spare me. If you don’t kill me, I’ll give you all the planets I’ve conquered…”

Raphael, instead of leaving her last words, proposed a negotiation.

In the past, he might have been tempted by such an offer, but now it didn’t appeal to him.

‘It’s more beneficial to gain demonic energy by killing a 1st Rank pigeon than to take over planets.’

Even if he received planets, he would have to go through the troublesome process of invading them, but killing a pigeon only required a twist of the neck.

“No, I refuse.”
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m ki ngm t l . o r g

“P-Please spare me…!!!”

Crack.

He cleanly rejected her offer and twisted her neck.

【You have killed one of the four 1st Rank angels.】
Th i s w as c o p ie d f r o m k i ngm t l .o r g

【You have achieved the remarkable feat of killing a higher-ranked enemy with a lower rank.】

【As a reward, the holy power of the 1st Rank angel will be converted into demonic energy and given to you.】

Message windows appeared before him.

“Oh…”

As new demonic energy surged through his body,

【You have invaded the planet ‘Groa’.】

【A large amount of demonic energy will be given to you as a reward.】

Just then, another message window popped up, indicating that his subordinates had completed the invasion.

【The remnants of the 72nd ranked Demon Lord remaining on the planet will be bestowed upon you.】

He also obtained the remnants of the Demon Lord, and a tremendous amount of demonic energy flowed into his body.

‘Now, everything is ready…’

With this, Jung Minwoo had successfully invaded his ten thousandth planet and completed all preparations to challenge for the throne.
