The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 197

Chapter 197: Throne (3)

Baal, who was watching the ‘Planetary War,’ thought,

‘It’s flowing too one-sidedly…?’

He was feeling bewildered as the situation was tilting heavily in Jung Minwoo’s favor, contrary to what he had expected.

‘I knew Jung Minwoo would win, but isn’t this too much?’

It was obvious that the Demon Servants who killed heroes would be stronger than the Demon Servants managed by Andromalius.

However, he thought that this was a bit too much, considering they were Demon Servants managed by a Demon Lord, in name at least.

‘I’ve known for a long time that Andromalius is an incompetent guy… but this seems to be far beyond incompetence.’

Baal thought that this Challenge for the Throne might end in an anticlimactic way.

“I expected him to win, but this is too much.”

Dantalion, who was watching from the side, also seemed to be thinking the same thing, as his face was filled with bewilderment.

“You didn’t know it would go like this either?”

Seeing that, Baal asked Dantalion with a puzzled look.

“Huh? Of course, I didn’t know. How would I know?”

“I know Andromalius went to you a month ago. Didn’t you see the future for him then?”

At Baal’s following question, Dantalion clapped his hands as if he finally realized the true intention of the question.

“Ah, ah… he did visit my Demon Lord’s Castle. However, I didn’t see the future.”

“Why not?”

“Well, I didn’t want to waste precious paper on a loser who would soon be stripped of his position.”

In other words, he didn’t see the future because it wasn’t worth using his unique trait.

“That’s cold.”

“Would it be colder than Baal-nim, who mercilessly broke off our cooperative relationship?”

“…”

Baal felt deep anger welling up at Dantalion’s words for a moment, but

‘Let it go… it’s not too late to deal with him after seeing Jung Minwoo’s future.’

He controlled his anger, reminding himself of Dantalion’s necessity.

‘Tsk, if only I could use Demonic Energy during the Challenge for the Throne, I wouldn’t be watching this fight with this guy.’
Th i s wa s c op ie d f r o m ki n g mt l . o r g

Using Demonic Energy during the Challenge for the Throne, for whatever reason, would result in immediate execution, so he had no choice but to wait until it was over.

T hi s w a s co pi e d f rom k in gmtl . o r g
In short, it meant that he had to stay with Dantalion until the Challenge for the Throne was over.

‘I should just shut my mouth and watch the fight quietly.’

After briefly watching the ‘Planetary War,’ Baal

‘Jung Minwoo…’

Turned his gaze to Jung Minwoo, who was positioned in the arena.

‘Our ill-fated relationship has become as deep as my relationship with Satan.’

He hadn’t harbored such great animosity toward Jung Minwoo during their time in the Training Center, but now his feelings had grown to rival those he had for Satan.

‘You’ll regret choosing to go under Satan for the rest of your life.’

He had to get rid of Jung Minwoo before Satan because he would be an obstacle to his grand plan.

Then, when he turned his gaze to Satan, who was sitting on the throne,

‘Hm?’

Satan was also looking at him, their gazes meeting.

If he avoided eye contact, he felt like he would lose for no reason, so he stared back resolutely.

Smirk―

Satan scoffed and turned his gaze away, as if he wasn’t worth dealing with.

‘…It won’t be long before you stop looking down on me…!’

As Baal was burning with anger towards Satan,

‘…What the hell, why are they being pushed back?’

Andromalius was feeling perplexed as his Demon Servants were being pushed back without any resistance.

‘I gave them enough Demonic Energy… why?’

He had distributed his Demonic Energy to all of his Demon Servants to gain a proper advantage, so he couldn’t understand why they were being pushed back.

He was about to go crazy in this incomprehensible situation, but

‘No, let’s think differently.’

He took a deep breath and calmed his trembling emotions.

‘They were weaklings, so it’s natural that they’re being pushed back.’

No matter how much high-quality Demonic Energy he distributed, if the level of the Demon Servants was low, he couldn’t expect a significant effect.

‘Although it’s a losing situation now, if the one who received the most of my Demonic Energy steps forward, the situation will be reversed.’

Unlike other Demon Servants, that one possessed such extraordinary martial prowess that he couldn’t believe he was a higher being. Thus, he firmly believed that he would turn the situation around.

‘Jung Minwoo, your confident attitude will soon crumble.’

Andromalius glanced at Jung Minwoo, and

T h i s w a s c o pi e d f ro m k in g m t l .o r g
Slide―

As if sensing his gaze, Jung Minwoo turned his head.

Lower your eyes.

He then mouthed an insulting remark and

Swoosh―

Turned his head away again.

‘That son of a bitch…’

Feeling resentment at being provoked, Andromalius shifted his gaze towards the hologram, and

‘He’s finally stepping forward.’

He could see that the Demon Servant who had received the most of his Demonic Energy was finally stepping forward.

The Demon Servants on Jung Minwoo’s side displayed tremendous firepower, reducing the enemy forces by about 2/5.

“Now that the enemy’s numbers have been reduced to some extent, how about we advance our troops?”

When Elvis asked for opinions from the other Seven Demon Generals,

“Good.”

“I think it’s a good idea.”

“This seems like the right time.”

“G, good.”

“Not bad.”

“Hehehe, it doesn’t seem bad to solidify our victory now.”

All of the Seven Demon Generals agreed without any dissent.

At the unanimous agreement, Elvis nodded and

“Advance!!!”

Shouted with Demonic Energy in his voice so that all the troops could hear.

“””Yes!”””

The Demon Servants responded powerfully and began to advance towards the enemy forces.

Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud…

It was as if black waves were surging.

“C, can we win this?”

“W, we have to run…”

“It seems hopeless…”

The enemy forces, seeing the sight that seemed to devour everything, made terrified expressions and slowly started to back away.

“W, we have to run!”

“This is insane!”

“How can we beat those guys?!”

They turned their backs and tried to run away, but

“””Attack!!!”””

The 8th Class mages’ magic, the Devil Elves’ Spirit Arts, the Demon Beasts’ ranged attacks, and so on

Boom―, Boom―, Boom―, Boom―, Boom―, Boom―, Boom―, Boom―!

The enemy forces, unable to move a single step under the onslaught of attacks like a tidal wave, died on the spot.

“It’s over.”

“It ends too easily.”

“It’s fortunate that it ended without much damage.”

“It seems there’s no room for us to step in.”

“I was expecting something from the Demon Lord’s pawns, but they are too pathetic.”

Thi s w a s c op i ed from k ing m tl . or g
“Their blood isn’t even worth tasting.”

“Hehehe, I should turn them all into undead after the war.”

Just as the Seven Demon Generals were certain of victory, seeing the enemy forces unable to mount a proper counterattack,

Boom―――――――――!

With a tremendous roar,

Thud――!

A figure, as large as a mountain, appeared in the distance.

“…It seems it won’t be easy to end it like this. Let’s prepare for battle.”

Elvis, generating black lightning around his body, prepared for battle, and

“””Understood.”””

The other Seven Demon Generals nodded and each entered a combat stance.

Thud――!

When the figure reached close proximity,

“Cyclops?”

They could confirm the giant’s identity.

Cyclops.

One-eyed giant, a race known to be as strong as heroes.

“I thought they were extinct…”

He knew the characteristics of the race through historical records, but seeing one in person, its pressure was beyond imagination.

“Saying they’re extinct when they’re clearly alive and well? That’s a very rude thing to say.”

The giant shook his head as if he had heard what Elvis said, correcting his statement.

“I’ll repay the price of my slip of the tongue with your death. It’s polite to introduce ourselves before we fight, right?”

He suddenly tapped his chest and

“My name is ‘Tan.’ As you can see, my race is the Giant race. I was bestowed with power by the Demon Lord-nim after being recognized for killing a hero single-handedly.”

He started introducing himself, even though nobody asked.
T h i s w a s c op ie d f r o m k i n gm t l . or g

“My introduction is over. Now, shall I hear your introductions?”

He finished his introduction and then demanded that they introduce themselves in return.

“I refuse.”

“…What?”

“I said I refuse.”

“…You’re not going to introduce yourself?”

“I don’t have the hobby of introducing myself to someone who’s going to die by my hand.”

When Elvis refused to introduce himself,

“Coward who can’t even introduce himself has no right to stand before me!”

Tan frowned and swung the club he was holding at the Seven Demon Generals.

Boom―――――――――!

It was an attack with immense destructive power that could split the earth, but

“Who would be hit by such an attack?”

No one was foolish enough to take the obvious attack head-on.

“Now it’s my turn to attack.”

Crackle―

Elvis generated black lightning and shot it towards Tan’s abdomen, but

“Humph, it just tickles!”

Tan scoffed and easily deflected the attack.

“Then let’s see if this tickles too.”

Elvis stepped back and snapped his fingers.

Rumble rumble―

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and black lightning bolts struck down towards Tan.

Rumble boom boom―

It was destructive power that would have turned any other higher being to ash, but

“Is that all your power? How pathetic!”

It couldn’t inflict any damage on Tan.

His smooth skin remained unscathed, even after the lightning attack.

“…What?”
Th is w as co p ie d f ro m k in g m t l .or g

As Elvis was showing bewilderment at the fact that he couldn’t even inflict a small blow,

“I’ll step in.”

Click, click, click.

World Tree walked forward and gracefully waved her hand.

Rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle―

Following her gesture, trees sprouted from the ground and

“Entangle him.”

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh―

At World Tree’s command, they quickly wrapped around Tan’s body.

“Huh? Trees?”

Tan tilted his head and looked at the trees that had wrapped around his body, and

“Kill him.”

Stab, stab, stab, stab―

The trees sharpened their branches and tried to pierce Tan’s body.

No, they tried to pierce, but

“Heh, you didn’t think this kind of attack would work, did you?”

The attack was blocked by Tan’s tough skin.

“My attack was blocked…?”

World Tree couldn’t hide her bewilderment, just like Elvis’ reaction a while ago.

“It seems the opponent is stronger than we thought.”

“Oh my, it’s been a long time since we’ve had a worthy opponent.”
T h i s w as co p i ed f ro m ki n g m t l .o r g

The two were about to prepare to attack again when

“You were boasting with that level of skill?”

Tan swung his club as if he wouldn’t give them a chance.

Another obvious attack.

Elvis and World Tree expected to dodge the attack easily, but

“Hehe, I knew it.”

Whoosh―

Tan’s arm was engulfed in Demonic Energy, and the speed of his attack increased exponentially.

Unable to react to the sudden increase in speed, Elvis and World Tree

Crack―――!

Were directly hit by the club.

“Ugh?!”

“Gasp?!”

It was just one direct hit, but

Roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, roll―

Thud―

It was enough of an impact to knock them unconscious.

The Seven Demon Generals who saw them get hit

“…Elvis-nim and World Tree-nim were defeated?”

“I’ll, I’ll kill you!”

“Your blood looks delicious!”

“Hehehe, this is getting interesting! I wonder if he can handle my attack as well?”

Sensing the gravity of the situation, they immediately charged at Tan.

Swish, swish, swish, swish―

Gob created hundreds of sword strikes, attacking, but

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang―

Th i s w a s co p i e d f ro m k i n g m t l .o r g
They were blocked by Tan’s skin without any effect, and

“Melt and disappear!”

Whoosh―

Lilac breathed out a breath that could melt everything, but
T h i s w a s c op i ed f ro m k i n g m t l . o r g

Sizzle―

It couldn’t melt Tan’s skin.

“Die!”

Vlad scattered hundreds of thousands of blood droplets, attacking, but

Clink, clink, clink, clink, clink, clink―

They simply bounced off Tan’s skin.

“Heroes, go!”

Finally, Isaac sent the heroes to try to kill him, but

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang―
T h is w a s co p i e d f r o m k i n g mt l . or g

It was all the same; nothing worked.

“How boring.”

Tan yawned as if bored, and

“Are you done attacking? Then, I’ll finish this?”

Crack―――――――!

He swung his club and struck Gob, Lilac, Vlad, and Isaac.

“Gasp?!”

“Gasp?!”

“Ugh!”

“Urgh!”

Roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, roll―

Thud―

Without any exception, Gob, Lilac, Vlad, and Isaac also collapsed after a single hit from the club.

A situation that was unbelievable, happening in just a few minutes.

“What? I thought you were strong, but you’re weak?”

Tan pouted as if dissatisfied with the fact that they collapsed with one blow.

“I’m bored now, I’ll just kill you and rest.”

He raised his foot to trample the Seven Demon Generals, but

“Stop.”

Flap―

“Hm?”

A bird engulfed in crimson flames appeared from the sky with intense heat.
