The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 198

Chapter 198: Throne (4)

Tan, who saw the bird engulfed in crimson flames, said:

“Phoenix…?”

As if he knew of the mythical being, he muttered “Phoenix” in a low voice.

“Its energy is quite remarkable…”

After staring blankly at the Phoenix, or rather, William, for a moment, he said:

“You… you’re strong, aren’t you?”

Tan revealed his competitive spirit with a thick smile.

“With you, I can fight with all my might.”

It was a statement that could sound quite arrogant, but:

“I agree.”

Knowing that those words were sincere, William nodded in agreement.

“With you, I feel like I can finally unleash my full power.”

Just as Tan had been searching for a strong opponent, William had also been searching for one.

Perhaps due to their desire to fight against a strong individual, both of them immediately realized they would be a good match for each other.

“Then, shall we begin right away?”

Tan was about to throw away the club he was holding and gather his energy when:

“No, before that, I would like to move my comrades to a safe place.”

William requested to move his comrades before fighting.

“What if I refuse?”

“Then I won’t fight you.”

“Ugh, but you’re the first worthy opponent I’ve met…”

Currently, they were in the midst of the “Planetary War,” so they would have ended up fighting even if Tan refused William’s proposal. However:

“Alright, I’ll grant your request. But in return, we’ll have a grand battle, okay?”

Tan wasn’t one to overthink, so he readily agreed to William’s request.

“Thank you for your consideration.”

Hoo—

As William breathed onto the fallen Seven Demon Generals:

Boo—ng.

Crimson flames engulfed them, lifting them into the air.

“Huh? Won’t they burn to death if they’re wrapped in those flames?”

“My flames can distinguish between friend and foe, so you don’t have to worry.”

“I understand.”

T hi s w a s c op i e d f rom kin g m t l .o r g
Afterward, the Seven Demon Generals flew away and disappeared from sight.

“You must have heard my introduction. Can you introduce yourself?”

“That’s not difficult.”

At Tan’s request, William began to introduce himself, flapping his wings.

“My name is ‘William,’ the first ‘Demon Servant’ chosen by the Demon Lord.”

“Oh, the first… He has good taste.”

“I think so too.”

The atmosphere was unexpectedly warm and friendly.

If someone had seen them like this, they would have tilted their head in confusion, but:

As worthy opponents who met after a long time, it was only natural for them to show respect to each other.

“Then, shall we fight with all our might?”

“Sounds good.”

The friendly atmosphere was short-lived.

Gooooooooooo—

They both radiated a powerful killing intent.

“No one has ever survived this attack. Do you think you can withstand it?”

Wee—ing.

And then, Tan’s single eye was engulfed in light.

Jee—ing.

A beam shot out, flying towards William.

Kwa—ang.

The heat must have been intense, as the beam melted everything in its path as it flew.
T h is w a s cop i e d f r o m k i n g mtl . o rg

“Indeed, any ordinary opponent wouldn’t have been able to withstand that attack.”

William said in a satisfied voice as he watched the beam. Then:

Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaa—

He flapped his wings and shot out crimson flames.

Koo—ung.

As the beam and crimson flames collided, a powerful light exploded, sweeping the surroundings.

The ground turned into lava, and the air became so hot that it felt like it would melt one’s lungs.

Moreover, the sky turned red, as if hinting at the end of the world.

“The beam isn’t working?”

“I’m a little surprised you managed to block the crimson flames.”

“In that case, we have no choice but to settle this with our fists!”

“Close combat is always welcome.”

Thi s w as co pi e d f r o m k in g m t l. or g
William and Tan withdrew their crimson flames and beam and engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

Pa—at!

Tan approached William with a speed that didn’t match his size, and:

“Take this!”

He threw a punch with his fist engulfed in demonic energy.

Hoo—ung.

It seemed he hadn’t been using his full power when he fought the Seven Demon Generals, as the force of the wind pressure was on a completely different level.

If it had been any other Demon Servant, they would have been torn apart and killed by the wind pressure.

“You’re fast, but that’s all.”

William twisted his body with a flap of his wings, dodging the fist.

“Everyone makes one mistake.”

Tan said, with a meaningful smile.

“They assume I only have one eye. Actually, I stopped being one-eyed a long time ago when I became a Demon Servant.”

Flash—

An eyeball appeared on his forearm, and:

Jee—ing.

It shot a beam towards William.

“This is… unexpected.”

Th i s w a s co p i ed f r om k i n g mt l . o r g
It was an unpredictable and unconventional attack.

Whirr—

However, William calmly rotated his body and effortlessly dodged the attack.

“Then can you dodge this too?”

Flash, flash, flash, flash, flash, flash, flash—

Dozens of eyeballs appeared on his forearm, and:

Jee—ing.

Dozens of beams were fired at William.

“What the…?!”

He tried to dodge this time as well by flapping his wings, but:

Poo—ook!

“Ugh!”

He was too close, and his body was pierced by the beams.

“Originally, I could only create a single eyeball wherever I wanted, but recently, the Demon Lord bestowed upon me a large amount of demonic energy, and the number of eyeballs has increased.”

William chuckled at Tan’s words and said:

“That’s an impressive ability. However, it’s not as impressive as the immortality I gained when the Demon Lord bestowed demonic energy upon me.”

Crimson flames began to fill the pierced spots.

“Immortality…?”

As William’s wounds completely healed, Tan frowned in confusion.

“Yes, in this state, no one can kill me. Of course, except for the pigeons and the Demon Lord.”

William answered kindly.

“You mean…?”

“It means you can’t beat me no matter what you do.”

“Don’t be ridiculous!”

Tan exploded in anger at William’s confident statement that he couldn’t win.

“There’s nothing in this world that I can’t kill!!!”

Flash—

Hundreds of eyeballs appeared on Tan’s body, and:

“I’ll make so many holes in your body that you can’t regenerate!”

Jee—ing.

He fired hundreds of beams.

“Let’s see if you can.”

Flap—

As if he wouldn’t just stand there and take the attacks, William responded with even more intense crimson flames than before.

“R-Run!”

“We need to go farther!”

“This is beyond our level!”

Meanwhile, Jung Minwoo’s Demon Servants were running desperately in the opposite direction, trying to avoid William and Tan.

Thanks to the crimson flames that could distinguish between friend and foe, they didn’t end up dying from inhaling like the enemy, but:

They couldn’t avoid the flying debris and ricocheting beams, so they had to create as much distance as possible.

When they finally managed to escape to a safe distance:

Flash—

T h is wa s c o pi e d f r om k i n g mt l . or g
Hundreds of beams exploded, and the world began to flash with a bright light.

At the time, right before the Seven Demon Generals and Tan were about to fight.

‘Ooh, you had a giant?’

Jung Minwoo was intrigued by Tan’s existence.

‘This is the first time I’ve seen a giant. You managed to find one.’

As he had never seen a giant while invading 20,000 planets, a sense of possessiveness briefly surged within him. But…

‘Having the Seven Demon Generals is enough for me.’

He was able to quickly suppress his desire thanks to the presence of the dependable Seven Demon Generals.

‘I’m curious to see how the fight will go.’

He couldn’t tell how strong the giant was just by watching the hologram, but if the records were accurate, it was bound to possess immense power.

‘I hope it doesn’t end too easily.’

Opportunities to fight strong opponents were rare, so Jung Minwoo hoped that the Seven Demon Generals would gain experience through this battle.

As he was lost in thought for a moment…

‘It’s started.’

The fight between the Seven Demon Generals and Tan began.

‘What? They’re being overwhelmed?’

The battle, which he thought would at least be a close match, was being dominated by the giant, Tan.

‘I didn’t expect them to fall with a single blow.’

He was a little surprised by Tan’s strength, which was greater than he had imagined, but that was all.

‘They’ll be able to grow even stronger through this experience.’

Then, William appeared, and Jung Minwoo was excitedly watching the hologram when…

“Nervous?”

Andromalius spoke to him in a mocking tone.

‘What? Does he really think he’s going to win?’

Jung Minwoo couldn’t help but chuckle at Andromalius’ transparent behavior.

“Laughing? Have you gone mad because you can’t accept reality?”

Perhaps Jung Minwoo’s laughter had offended him, as Andromalius raised his voice and started to pick a fight.

“Is that what it looks like to you?”

“Then why are you laughing?”

“Because it’s funny seeing you strutting around as if you’ve already won.”

“…What?”

At Jung Minwoo’s answer, Andromalius let out a hollow laugh.

“Are you out of your mind? You’re saying that even after seeing your Demon Servants defeated?”
T h i s w a s c op ie d fr o m k ingmtl . o r g

He spoke in a voice as if he genuinely couldn’t understand.

“It seems like you’re the one who’s out of his mind.”

“Don’t be ridiculous!”

“Jeez, you don’t believe a demon? Have you been living your whole life being deceived? If you can’t believe it, just look at the hologram.”

“What difference does it make if I look?”

Andromalius shifted his gaze to the hologram, as Jung Minwoo suggested…

“…Huh?”

And his expression froze.

“Pant, pant, pant.”

Tan, who had been firing beams like a madman, stopped attacking for a moment, taking deep breaths.

“Why? Are the attacks not working? No, why won’t he die?”

He then spoke to William with a slightly terrified face.

“I told you. You wouldn’t be able to kill me.”

“Was that true…?”

“Why would I lie to you? Especially a lie that would be found out anyway?”
T h i s w a s c op ie d f r o m ki n g mtl. org

At William’s answer, Tan bit his lower lip and then.

“I can’t accept this…!!!”

Denying reality, he charged at William.

Flap―

William flew up into the sky, dodging the attack.

“Let’s end this fight now.”

Along with the words that he would end the fight.

Hwooooooooooooooooooo―

He emitted crimson flames.

Flare―

The emitted crimson flames didn’t head towards Tan but started to gather in the sky.

“Do you think I’ll just stand still?!”

Jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing.

Tan, sensing danger, tried to interfere by shooting beams, but.

“It’s useless.”

He couldn’t inflict any damage.
T his w a s c o p i e d from k i n g m tl . or g

And when William stopped emitting the crimson flames.

Flare―

A single sun was situated in the sky.

“Uh…?”
T hi s wa s co p i e d f r o m ki n gm t l . o r g

Tan, unable to even think of resisting, just blankly stared at the newly created sun.

A wonder that was unbelievable to have been made by a higher being.

Looking at that appearance, the word ‘monster’ came to mind.

“Do you have any last words?”

“I do.”

Tan nodded his head at William’s question and answered.

“What are your last words? I’ll listen attentively.”

When he asked for the last words following that.

“It was the best battle of my life, where I used my full power for the first time.”

Tan left his last words with a bright smile.

“It was the best battle for me, too.”

William also answered politely and then.

“Farewell.”
T h i s w as c opi e d fr o m k i n g mt l .o rg

Flap―

As he flapped his wings.

Whoooooooooooo.

The sun that was floating in the sky fell towards Tan.

“He’s going out in a flashy way.”

Fwoosh―

As Tan’s body instantly turned to ashes and he died.

Flash―

The world started to blink in a red light.

And so, the ‘Planetary War’ ended in Jung Minwoo’s victory, as everyone expected.
