The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 225

Chapter 225: You, Become My Subordinate! (2)

“Let’s see the skills of the one who represents the village.”

Anubis swung her greatsword towards Shuman with all her might.

Clang ―――!

Blocked by the black diamond covering his body, the greatsword bounced back.

“Oh, it really is hard, huh?”

Although her attack was easily blocked,

“This is fun.”

Anubis, far from being flustered, burned with more fighting spirit and swung her greatsword at Shuman.

“Hiya, hiya, hiya, hiya, hiya, hiya!”

Clang – clang, clang!

She unleashed hundreds of slashes in succession, but

“I clearly told you, didn’t I? No one has ever left a single scratch on my body.”

Unfortunately, not a single wound was left on Shuman’s body.

“Shall I go on the counteroffensive now?”

Shuman lowered the hand he had raised and,

Whoosh ―――!

He threw a straight punch towards Anubis.

“Hmph, who would get hit by such a slow punch?!”

Anubis scoffed at the slow attack and tried to swing her greatsword to parry it, but

“?!”

Perhaps because she swung the greatsword too late, her strength faltered.
T h is wa s co p ie d f r o m k i n g mt l. o rg

Clang ―――!

The greatsword bounced back.

“?!”

Thud ―

Moreover, because the greatsword bounced back, Anubis’s body was also thrown back, and she ended up rolling pathetically on the floor.

“Oh no……!”

As Anubis frowned and hurriedly got up,

“Pay the price for attacking us!”

“Die!”

“Opening spotted!”

“Your arrogance will lead to your death today!”

The villagers rushed at Anubis, wielding their weapons.

“Stay out of it, you small fries!”

Anubis tried to approach Shuman while fending off the incoming weapons, but

“Hmph, try to make us stay out of it!”

“Who’s calling who small fries?”

“You’re all talk and no action.”

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang ―――!

She was tied down, unable to move due to the flowing combination attacks of the villagers.

‘500 people can pull off this kind of combination attack……?’

A precise combination attack, as if they had practiced it not once or twice, but tens of thousands of times.

Anubis couldn’t help but feel embarrassed by the attack, which was as precisely timed as clockwork.

‘Damn it, there’s no opening!’

If she struck down an approaching attacker and sent them flying, another would fill the gap and attack while she was at it.

‘……As expected of those obsessed with fighting, their fighting skills are excellent.’

An ordinary demon would have cowered at the overwhelming combination attacks, but

“Hehehe…… Yes, this is what makes a fight worth fighting!!!”

For Anubis, it was just good fuel to stimulate her battle-crazed nature.

Stab, slash, swish, stab, slash……

As time passed, wounds began to appear on her body one by one, but

“Uhahahahahaha!”

She burst into hearty laughter and stubbornly swung her greatsword.

“……What’s going on? Why doesn’t she get tired?”

“Her stamina is insane, isn’t it?”

“This means she’s not an easy opponent, does it?”

“She has monstrous stamina……”

The villagers who were fighting Anubis were horrified by her inexhaustible stamina.
This w as c o pi e d f r o m kin gmt l . o rg

After a week had passed since the battle began,

“Get lost!!!”

Whoosh ―――!

“””Ugh?!”””

The tide of the battle began to turn in Anubis’s favor.

“I thought they’d drop off on their own as time went on…… Did their unique traits have something to do with stamina?”

Meanwhile, Shuman, who had struck Anubis and then folded his arms, not intervening in the fight,

“I guess I should join the fight and finish this quickly.”

T hi s w as co p i e d fr om k ing m t l .o r g
Thump, thump, thump ―!

He unfolded his arms and ran towards Anubis.

“Heh, you were acting all cool from the back, but I guess it’s not working out?”

Anubis laughed at the sight and taunted Shuman before,

Swoosh.

She thrust her greatsword with all her might.

“You know this kind of attack won’t work on me, right?”

“Nope, it will~”

Shuman raised his arm, trying to block the incoming greatsword, but

Stab ―――!

The greatsword pierced right through the arm made of black diamond.

“……H-How is this possible?!”

Shuman, in terrible pain he hadn’t felt in a long time, stepped back and created distance, but

“Where do you think you’re going?”

Swish, swish, swish ―!
T hi s w a s c op i e d f r o m k i n g m t l. or g

Anubis quickly closed the distance and,

Stab ―――!

She thrust her greatsword once more, piercing through Shuman’s shoulder.

“D-Don’t tell me…… Is your unique trait getting stronger as the fight goes on?”

“You’re right.”
Th i s was c op ie d fr om k i n g m t l . o rg

“I knew it.”

“So what if you know?”

“……”

It would have been a different story if they had known about the effects of her unique trait earlier, but now, as Anubis said, there was nothing they could do about it.

Currently, the only way to defeat Anubis was through a head-on approach.

In other words, they had to defeat her as soon as possible, before she got any stronger.

“Everyone, don’t hold back on your stamina and demonic energy, squeeze them out and fight her! The enemy gets stronger as time passes!”

“””Yes!”””

At Shuman’s command, the villagers poured out their demonic energy and once again rushed at her.

Dash, dash, dash ―

Anubis looked at the charging demons and,

“Come at me, you bastards!!!”

She shouted in a hearty voice and ran towards the demons.

Four weeks after the fight began, the long, long battle finally came to an end.

“Phew, it’s been a while since I’ve had a real fight.”

Anubis stretched with a refreshed expression and smiled brightly.

“Hehehe, I had a good fight and gained subordinates, this is a total win.”

As you can tell from her muttering to herself, the winner of the fight was Anubis.

“You guys are my subordinates now, right?”

Anubis asked, looking at the demons collapsed on the ground.

“Ugh……”

Shuman was the only one who managed to raise his blood-soaked body with difficulty and,

Thump ―!

“I appoint you as the village head of this village.”

He knelt on one knee and handed over his position to Anubis.

Perhaps because he had received the position of village head, Shuman’s attitude was incomparably more respectful than before.

“So, you’re saying you’re my subordinate?”

“……Yes, that’s right.”
Th is wa s c op i e d f ro m k i n g m tl . or g

“Really? Then let’s draw up a contract to make you my subordinate.”

At Anubis’s words, Shuman made a troubled expression and said,

“That would be a bit difficult.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“If we make a contract, we won’t be able to accept new challengers, will we?”

“Why not?”

“It’s difficult to make a contract because the opportunity to serve a new stronger being would completely disappear.”

In short, being bound by a contract meant that even if Anubis was defeated by a challenger, they would have to follow her, which did not align with the village’s tradition.

“Then we can just add a clause to the contract.”

“A clause, you say?”

“Yeah, we can add a clause that says it’s okay for you to become someone else’s subordinate if I’m defeated by a challenger.”

Shuman pondered Anubis’s suggestion for a moment and then,

“That sounds acceptable.”

He nodded in agreement.

“So, shall we draw up the contract?”

“Alright.”

Anubis took out a parchment, wrote down the contract clauses, and smiled brightly.

‘What a lucky break! If things go well, I might be able to fight with the challengers every day.’

Strong individuals would come to challenge her after hearing the rumors, so it was a reward for her, a battle maniac.

One might worry about what would happen if she lost, but

‘Since we’d be fighting together with all the villagers, there’s no way I could lose.’

She was confident that she wouldn’t lose, especially when she was fighting with 500 villagers.

‘If I lose, by any chance, it’s my fault for being weak.’

If she lost, she could just get stronger and win it back.

“Here, I finished writing the contract. The others are unconscious, so you sign it first.”

“Okay.”

Shuman received the parchment and carefully examined the contract before,

“……The clauses are quite meticulously written?”

He couldn’t hide his surprise at the thoroughly written clauses.

“A friend of mine advised me that contracts should be made thoroughly.”

“……A friend, you say?”

T h is w as co p i e d f r o m k i n g m t l. or g
“Yeah, I have one.”

As you could tell from Shuman’s words, the contract was written without any loopholes.

If Anubis had written it herself, there would have been holes in the contract, but

‘Minwoo, if it wasn’t for your help, I would have had trouble writing the contract.’

Fortunately, thanks to Jung Minwoo who provided the clauses, she was able to write a proper contract.

“If there’s no problem, let’s just sign it.”
T h i s w as c o p i e d f r om k i ngmt l .or g

“Yes, Chief-nim.”

“Chief-nim doesn’t sound right. Call me Boss-nim.”

“Okay, Boss-nim.”

Shuman bit his thumb with his teeth and then,

Drip, drip ―

He dripped the blood that pooled on his finger onto the parchment.

Fwoosh ―――

The parchment was enveloped in light, and a magic circle floated into the air, then
T hi s w as c opi e d fr om k in g m t l.o r g

The magic circle floating in the air seeped back into the parchment, and

【Contract Complete】

A message appeared, indicating that the contract had been completed.

Whoosh ―

And the parchment was engulfed in black flames and burned to ashes.

Anubis, seeing that the contract had been successfully concluded,

“Congratulations on becoming my first subordinate!”

She patted Shuman’s arm, congratulating him on becoming her first subordinate.

“The first subordinate…… It’s an honor.”

“If you know that, then do well. Got it?”

“I’ll do my best to serve you.”

“That’s reliable.”

A few hours later, the collapsed villagers woke up, and Anubis continued to make contracts.

She successfully recruited 500 demons as her subordinates, and

“Everyone, pack your things and gather here again. We’ll move to the Demon Lord’s Castle directly.”

She ordered them to pack their belongings to move to their new home.

“By Demon Lord’s Castle, which Demon Lord’s Castle are you referring to? May I ask?”

“We’re going to the Demon Lord’s Castle where the 72nd ranked Demon Lord lives.”

When Anubis shrugged and answered the question,

“……To where Andromalius is?”

Shuman frowned and expressed his displeasure.

“Andromalius?”

When Anubis tilted her head and asked back,
Th i s wa s c o p ie d f ro m k i n g m t l .o r g

“He is a trashy Demon Lord who hinders the growth of his subordinates.”

He began to explain the reason for his displeasure.

“He was that much of a trash?”

“Yes, you could say he is a Demon Lord who doesn’t suit us, who focus on fighting. So I recommend that you, Boss-nim, get out from under him as soon as possible.”

“Oh, I see.”

“……Boss-nim?”

Shuman looked at her with a puzzled look, wondering why Anubis’s reaction was lukewarm despite his advice.

“Don’t worry. My friend is the 72nd ranked Demon Lord.”

“……Pardon?”

“It’s Jung Minwoo. He just became the new 72nd ranked Demon Lord.”

“……That’s news to me.”

“It hasn’t been long since he became a Demon Lord.”

“……I see.”

At Anubis’s answer, Shuman realized why her reaction was lukewarm despite his advice.

“I’ll introduce you when we get there.”

Shuman realized that they were quite close, as she was willing to introduce him.

“It’s an honor for me to meet the new Demon Lord.”

“Minwoo will be happy too.”

As long as it wasn’t Andromalius, it didn’t matter to Shuman, so he nodded at her words.

“Then I’ll pack my things and be back.”

“Okay, come back soon.”

After another 30 minutes,

“Everyone, have you packed your things?”

“””Yes!”””

500 demons stood before Anubis, fully prepared.

“Then let’s go straight to the Demon Lord’s Castle!”

Afterward, Anubis returned to the Demon Lord’s Castle with her newly recruited subordinates.
