The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 190
Chapter 190: 1st Rank Promotion Exam (5)
At the time Anubis was fighting the twins.
T h i s w as c o p i ed fro m k in gmtl . o r g
Venus and Elin were facing off against the bushy-bearded Sohton.
Ta, ta, taat—
As Sohton moved swiftly towards Venus and Elin.
“Together.”
“…Die.”
Venus whipped her lash infused with demonic energy, and Elin shot out wind shaped like thorns.
Whirr—
Sohton calmly dodged the lash by throwing himself to the right.
Shhhk—
He then evaded the wind thorns by hiding behind a rock.
“You seem proficient in battle.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
As Venus and Elin were preparing for their next attack.
“Stop.”
Sohton spoke, issuing a command.
“Who would stop just because you said so?”
“…Ridiculous.”
They tried to ignore Sohton’s words and attack, but.
“”?!””
They couldn’t move their bodies as if they were bound by something.
“Word Spirit?”
“…Just as we saw in the information.”
Although they knew that his unique trait manifested through ‘language’, they didn’t expect it to happen as soon as he spoke.
“This is easily broken.”
“…Pathetic.”
Venus and Elin raised their demonic energy to break free from the pressure, but.
Whoosh—
Sohton didn’t miss the opportunity and closed the distance in that short moment, swinging his fist.
“…Well, I just have to block it.”
Boom—
Elin raised the soil from the ground to create a giant shield, but.
“Shatter.”
Crack—
As Sohton used his ‘Word Spirit’, the shield made of soil cracked.
It didn’t break exactly as the ‘Word Spirit’ dictated, but.
Thud—
“Ugh!”
“…Gasp!”
Sohton’s fist squeezed through the cracks and struck Venus and Elin in the abdomen.
“What a troublesome unique trait.”
“…I agree.”
Their bodies were lifted into the air from the blow to their abdomens, but.
Thud—
Venus and Elin landed on the ground and charged at Sohton again.
Meanwhile, Rok was.
“Where the hell is the main body?! Ribbit, ribbit.”
Engaged in a heated battle with Evolo.
Rok swung his fist to attack Evolo, but.
Bam— Bam— Bam—
Every hit landed on a clone, so he couldn’t inflict any significant damage.
“Hehe, is this a clone too?”
Bam—
“You got tricked again, right?”
Bam—
“You’ll never find me, right?”
Bam—
“You’re just going to keep hitting clones, right?”
Bam—
“Are you angry? Do you want to hit me? But you don’t know where I am, right?”
Bam—
Moreover, Rok’s anger was gradually building up due to Evolo’s skillful taunting.
“You, if I catch you, I won’t let you off easy… Ribbit, ribbit.”
Rok looked around with a serious look he usually didn’t have, but.
“Yeah, let’s talk about that after you catch me~”
Unfortunately, he couldn’t think of any proper way to find Evolo and had to endure his constant taunts.
“You’re really… mean. Ribbit, ribbit.”
“Yeah, you’re the one who’s getting played. And can you stop with the ‘ribbit, ribbit’? It’s so annoying.”
“…”
Rok, who had never been so insulted in his life, frowned and his face contorted.
As he was fuming with anger.
Thud—
A sharp blade pierced his waist from behind.
“…Ribbit, ribbit?”
Rok felt the pain and turned his head back.
“I told you, why are you letting your guard down?”
Evolo was standing there with a sword plunged into him, a sinister smile on his face.
Snap—
T hi s w a s c opi ed f r o m k in g m t l.o rg
Seeing that, Rok felt his patience snap.

While the members of Jungsin Cult and Andromalius’ subordinates were in the midst of battle.
Crunch, crunch.
Jung Minwoo and Satan were watching the screen while eating food in the lounge.
Glare—
Andromalius seemed displeased with the sight and kept glancing at them with a dissatisfied look.
“It doesn’t seem like much for all the big talk you made.”
He then abruptly picked a fight with Jung Minwoo, who was quietly watching.
“Suddenly, picking a fight?”
Jung Minwoo tilted his head and frowned.
“No, it’s not picking a fight. I’m being serious. My guys are dominating your subordinates. I’m just asking if you still think the same way.”
Andromalius pointed at the screen, mocking him about his previous words.
“Are you being serious?”
Jung Minwoo asked if he genuinely thought that way.
“Of course.”
Andromalius nodded, as if it was obvious.
“Ha!”
At his confident attitude, Jung Minwoo let out a scoff and.
“If your eyes aren’t just for decoration, why don’t you take a good look again?”
He pretended to tap his eyes, urging him to check properly.
“What…?”
Andromalius looked at the screen as Jung Minwoo said, but he could only see his subordinates dominating.
He was about to think Jung Minwoo was bluffing when.
“Demon Lord-nim, I prepared a lot and sent them out, but aren’t they too weak?”
Jung Minwoo turned his gaze to Satan and said.
“What…?”
Andromalius was about to argue about the insult to his subordinates, but.
“I made my judgment based on information only, so I didn’t know they would be this weak.”
Satan spoke, making Andromalius miss his chance to argue.
“I thought highly of them, but seeing them like this makes me feel ashamed.”
Then, seeing Satan scratching his head and looking embarrassed, Andromalius.
‘What… He’s seriously saying my subordinates are weak?’
He realized Satan wasn’t joking.
“But thanks to your caution, we’re winning more easily, aren’t we?”
“That’s true.”
“It seems like they’re finally starting to use their power after realizing they’re underestimated. Let’s get ready to leave.”
“Alright.”
As Jung Minwoo and Satan started to clear the food they were eating.
“D, Demon Lord-nim, wait a minute!”
Andromalius called out to Satan in a hurried voice.
“Why, you want the leftovers?”
“N, no, that’s not it. What do you mean by his subordinates haven’t shown their full power yet?”
He demanded an explanation.
“Do I have to explain it to you?”
Jung Minwoo clicked his tongue, looking at him with a pitiful gaze.
“I’m not asking you, so shut up!”
Andromalius ignored Jung Minwoo and was about to ask Satan again when.
“Ah, it seems like they’re starting to use their power now. If you’re so curious, don’t ask Demon Lord-nim and just watch the screen.”
Jung Minwoo pointed at the screen.
“…Facing their full power?”
Andromalius looked at the screen with shaking eyes.
“…Oh my.”
He realized Jung Minwoo’s words weren’t lies.

Venus, who was exchanging blows with Sohton, said.
“Now it’s certain.”
She spoke with a dejected look.
“No matter what you do, you can’t win against us.”
Sohton frowned at her words, but.
“Well, it wouldn’t make sense for us, who have even obtained the remnants of the Demon Lord, to lose to a mere 2nd Rank.”
Venus ignored Sohton’s gaze and continued to speak her mind.
“I played along for a while, wondering if you had any hidden cards, but it seems like there’s no need for that now.”
She then cleared her throat and.
“Everyone, you can fight seriously now!”
She ordered the Jungsin Cult members to fight with all their might.
“Bullshit!”
Dash—
Sohton gritted his teeth and charged at Venus.
No, he tried to charge, but.
“…It’s not bullshit.”
He was forced to stop due to the powerful demonic energy that pierced through his body.
Sohton shifted his gaze to where the demonic energy was coming from.
“?!”
Elin was emitting demonic energy and using her unique trait.
Rumble—
Fire, water, lightning, earth, air, and various other elements gathered and merged in the air.
Rumble—
T h i s w a s c o p i e d fr o m k in g mt l . o r g
They transformed into a shape reminiscent of a galaxy in the universe.
“…Can you handle this?”
Elin asked, and Sohton couldn’t answer.
He instinctively felt that he couldn’t handle that attack.
Dash—
Thinking there was no hope in the fight, Sohton turned around and tried to run away, but.
“…Then, die.”
Flick—
T h i s wa s c o p ie d f r om k i ngmt l . o rg
The moment Elin flicked her finger.
Rumble—
“W, what?!”
Sohton’s body began to be sucked into the galaxy.
“Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!”
He desperately tried to use his Word Spirit to negate the galaxy, but.
T h i s wa s c o p i e d f r o m k i n gm t l .o rg
“Uwaaaah!!!”
In the end, he was swallowed by the galaxy.
Sohton, who thought he was dominating, was eliminated from the exam with just a flick of Elin’s finger.
“Oh, fight with all your might?”
Meanwhile, Anubis, who heard Venus’s shout.
“I’ve been waiting for those words!”
Immediately used her unique trait, ‘Awakening’.
“”…?””
Evan and Ethan, who felt the change in momentum.
Shhhk—
Swung their sickles infused with demonic energy at Anubis.
Thud, thud—
The sickles successfully pierced Anubis’s body, but.
“”?!””
Evan and Ethan’s faces were filled with bewilderment.
Normally, the sickles should have pierced through her skin and ripped through her internal organs, but they couldn’t penetrate any deeper than her skin.
“Why? Are you surprised that it didn’t go as deep as you thought?”
Anubis, whose Awakening was complete, smirked at them.
“”…””
The twins tried to pull out their sickles and step back, but.
Whoosh—
“You try to run away after stabbing me? I won’t let you.”
She instantly appeared behind the twins and swung her greatsword.
Whoosh—
The twins raised their sickles to block the attack, but.
Th i s w a s c opi e d f r o m k i n gm tl. o rg
Clang—
Spurt—
Their bodies were split in half along with their sickles.
The twins, who had shown incredible teamwork, were eliminated from the exam with just a single blow.
“Just one blow? Tsk… How disappointing.”
Anubis clicked her tongue, looking at the fallen twins, and turned her back.
“Fight with all your might? Ribbit, ribbit.”
Rok, who was being tormented by Evolo.
“Now it’s time for revenge! Ribbit, ribbit.”
Grinned brightly and used his unique trait, ‘Ultimate Evolution’.
‘I want to transform into Battle Mode and beat him up, but I think it’s better to transform into Brain Mode now.’
Considering how he had been played by Evolo so far, it seemed highly likely that he would be played the same way even if he transformed into ‘Battle Mode’.
‘Alright, let’s go with Brain Mode.’
Rok made his decision and chose ‘Brain Mode’, pouring all his demonic energy into it.
【You can only use 70% of the abilities of the 2nd Form ‘Brain Mode’.】
A message window appeared before his eyes.
Considering that Jung Minwoo could only use 50% of it when he had just reached 1st Rank, it indirectly showed how strong Rok currently was.
‘It seems like the remnants of the Demon Lord have exponentially increased the power I can use. Ribbit, ribbit.’
Rok couldn’t hide his surprise as it was the first time he was using his full power after obtaining the remnants.
Swoosh—
Then, demonic energy enveloped Rok’s body.
“It feels like I’m reborn.”
A moment later, the demonic energy dispersed, revealing his appearance.
Rok, who had transformed into a handsome man with a dreamy aura.
“Now, shall we find him?”
Decided to find Evolo’s main body without delay.
He closed his eyes for a moment, contemplating how to find him.
“Huh? Where did that frog go?”
T h i s was c op i e d f ro m k i n gm tl . o rg
Evolo emerged from the fog, swinging his sword.
Whoosh—
“Right, there were clones? I can easily find him using this.”
Grab—
Rok grabbed Evolo’s wrist and blocked his attack, then poured his demonic energy into the clone’s body.
“Gasp.”
He then used the remaining tiny bit of demonic energy to spread it around like a spiderweb.
T h i s wa s c o p i e d fr om k i ng m t l .or g
The range spread to the entire exam venue.
It was a feat that Rok couldn’t have achieved before, but his developed brain allowed him to utilize a small amount of demonic energy in this way.
“Let’s see where you’re hiding.”
He searched for enemies with the same demonic energy as the clone.
“Found you.”
He was able to find an entity with the same demonic energy nearby.
He was certain it was the main body because it had the same demonic energy but a higher concentration.
“Let’s catch him so he can’t run away.”
Snap—
Rok snapped his fingers.
“W, what?!”
Evolo’s voice, presumably, could be heard from afar.
“I think I caught him properly.”
Rok leisurely walked towards the direction of the voice.
“H, how did you find me…?”
There, Evolo was lying on the ground, bound by a spiderweb.
Evolo’s face was filled with bewilderment, as if he couldn’t believe he had been caught.
“You were quite talkative earlier, weren’t you?”
Thud—
T h i s wa s c o pi e d f ro m kingmt l .org
Rok placed his hand on Evolo’s head.
“Are you ready to pay the price?”
Sizzle—
He released poison from his palm, slowly melting Evolo’s body.
“Uwaaaah! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!”
Th is w a s c o p i ed f r om k i n g m t l . or g
Evolo, who had been provoking and playing with Rok, was subjected to severe torture for 30 minutes before being eliminated from the exam.
And so, all of the 72nd ranked Demon Lord’s subordinates were eliminated by the Jungsin Cult members.
