The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 236
Chapter 236: Helper
As the buzzer sounded, Sayori used her unique trait.
Ssssk—
A red mist formed around her, and then……
Fwooosh—
The red mist began to engulf Sayori’s body.
“Hehe, I’m excited to see the skills of Minwoo-nim, who ascended to the Demon Lord’s throne in the shortest time.”
A moment later, Sayori appeared, wearing red armor and a helmet.
An appearance befitting the unique trait of ‘Massacre.’
Swoosh—
She pulled out two axes from subspace, each the size of her body, and held them in her hands.
“Here I come!!”
PANG—!
With a tremendous sonic boom, she charged towards Jung Minwoo.
【Predicting a cross-shaped attack based on muscle movement and direction. ‘Mind’s Eye’ confirms a cross-shaped attack. Two pieces of information match. Stepping back one step.】
Helper predicted Sayori’s attack and……
Thud—
Moved Jung Minwoo’s body back one step.
Whooosh—
And at that moment, the two axes crossed paths, barely missing him.
Goooo—
Even though she had only swung the axes, a strong wind blew, hitting his face.
‘She’s quite strong.’
He was slightly impressed by her unexpected strength.
“Ha!”
Sayori infused her axes with demonic energy and began swinging them at an even faster speed.
【Based on the measured speed, 561 attacks per second are expected. Initiating evasion with minimal movement.】
Helper predicted all the attacks in a split second and moved his body accordingly.
Th i s wa s c o p i ed fr o m k i n gm t l . or g
Swish—
When she swung the axes in a straight line……
Step—
He dodged the attack by moving one step to the left.
Whooosh—
And when she swung the axes sideways……
Step—
He moved one step back and avoided the attack.
After repeating this 561 times……
“……You’re good at dodging.”
Sayori couldn’t hide her surprise, her expression laced with bewilderment.
“Thank you.”
Th is w a s co p ie d fr o m k i n g m t l . org
Jung Minwoo replied with a calm face since he could also perform this feat.
‘Just because I can do it doesn’t mean Helper isn’t amazing.’
In fact, he was inwardly impressed by Helper’s performance, thinking it was fortunate that he wasn’t getting hit.
“Then, try dodging this!”
Perhaps thinking she couldn’t land a hit like this, Sayori swung her axes and shot out a crescent-shaped demonic energy wave.
【The enemy’s movement has become larger due to the large-scale attack. Initiating counterattack after dodging.】
Helper, sensing an opening, immediately dashed forward.
Flick, flick, flick, whoosh—
He easily dodged the incoming demonic energy with his quick footwork.
Thud—
And reached Sayori in an instant.
【Striking the chin to disrupt balance and then hitting vital points in sequence.】
Whooosh—
As he threw a punch towards Sayori……
Whooosh—
Sayori dropped her axes and countered with her fist.
【The fist is imbued with demonic energy. Engaging in a head-on confrontation will result in significant damage. Focusing on evasion and counterattack.】
He retracted his extended arm and twisted his body to the left.
BOOM—!
Sayori’s fist hit empty air, missing the target.
“You’re really impressive to push me this far without using demonic energy.”
She expressed her admiration for a moment.
“But I can’t lose like this. I’ll go all out now!”
KABOOM—!
Demonic energy exploded from Sayori’s body, and she attacked at a speed dozens of times faster than before.
T h is w a s co p i e d f r o m k i n g mt l .o rg
BOOM—!
BOOM—!
BOOM—!
BOOM—!
BOOM—!
BOOM—!
.
.
.
.
.
Sonic booms echoed every time her fists hit the air.
If he allowed even one hit, the flow would be disrupted, and he would lose the duel.
Fortunately, Helper hadn’t allowed a single hit so far, so this tense tug-of-war continued.
【She’s started to add variations to her attacks. Therefore, I will dodge half a beat late and pretend to struggle to create an opportunity for a counterattack.】
He didn’t just fight honestly but mixed in tricks from time to time to threaten Sayori with counterattacks.
About 36 hours passed.
BOOM—!
BOOM—!
BOOM—!
.
.
.
As they continued their relentless exchange……
“Huh?”
Slip—
Perhaps her concentration wavered, Sayori missed a swing, and her movement became larger.
【Opening detected. Based on expression, voice, muscle contraction, etc., the probability of it being an act is less than 30%. ‘Mind’s Eye’ analysis concludes the probability of an act is 0%. Initiating counterattack.】
Helper didn’t miss the opportunity and struck Sayori’s chin.
THUD—!
T h i s w a s c o pi e d f r om k i n g mtl .o rg
Stagger—
It landed cleanly, disrupting Sayori’s balance.
It might be strange that the attack worked even though she was wearing a helmet.
‘It doesn’t matter to me.’
A Demon Lord’s power was on a different level, so it was possible to inflict damage even if the opponent was wearing armor.
【Initiating follow-up attacks.】
Thump, thump, thump, THUD—!
He quickly struck her vital points in succession.
Crack—
The protective barrier surrounding Sayori’s body began to crack, indicating that significant damage had been inflicted.
【Lower body is vulnerable. Tripping her leg.】
Thud—
He tripped one of her legs and succeeded in knocking her to the ground. As he was about to attack again……
“I can’t win this. I surrender.”
Sayori admitted defeat.
‘Battle concluded.’
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f rom k in g m t l . org
【Ending the battle.】
After regaining control, Jung Minwoo……
“Good work.”
Extended his hand to Sayori, who was lying on the ground.
“Thank you.”
Sayori smiled wryly, took his hand, and got up.
“I never thought I’d lose to Minwoo-nim without you even using demonic energy.”
“I was just lucky.”
Although Helper had guaranteed a 100% victory, Jung Minwoo hadn’t expected to win in the end.
‘I thought I’d be gradually pushed back and lose the moment Sayori went all out.’
Since even a single mistake could lead to defeat, he personally thought the probability of winning was low.
However, Helper didn’t make a single mistake and succeeded in subduing Sayori.
‘My combat abilities are the basis for his, so they seem the same, but he seems to be better than me in long-term battles.’
Jung Minwoo concluded that Helper was quite useful in terms of combat.
As he was thinking about checking other things after leaving the training room……
“Lucky? This is skill.”
Sayori said with a chuckle, as if she had heard a funny joke.
“Haha, is that so?”
“Of course. The unique trait can only be fully utilized if the owner’s abilities are excellent, right?”
“Thank you for the compliment. Shall we head out now?”
“Yes.”
Afterwards, Jung Minwoo left the Demon Lord’s training room and returned to his office.
T h i s w a s c o p i e d fr o m k i ng m t l . o r g
Back in his office, Jung Minwoo decided to check Helper’s work efficiency.
‘See the approval requests piled up on the desk?’
【Yes, I see them.】
T h i s w as c op i ed fro m ki n gm tl . o r g
‘If there’s a valid reason written there, stamp it. If not, write down the reason for rejection. Can you do that?’
【Yes, I can.】
‘Then, give it a try.’
【Taking control and proceeding with the ‘tasks’.】
‘I have other things to do. I’ll give you control of my right hand.’
【Taking control of the right hand and proceeding with the ‘tasks’.】
Helper scanned the approval requests on the desk and started stamping them or writing down reasons for rejection with a fountain pen.
‘I’ll check them later. I’ll look at the invasion statistics report.’
He examined the Demon Castle invasion statistics report.
‘Definitely, the amount of demonic energy earned is increasing.’
He could see that the graph was rising sharply as time passed.
‘The overall performance has improved.’
Helper seemed to have gotten the hang of the tasks and was rapidly improving his performance.
‘The department with the highest performance…… Hmm? The combat department?’
He had thought the planetary department would have the highest performance, but surprisingly, it was the combat department.
‘Why is it so high?’
Jung Minwoo felt puzzled and examined the combat department report in detail.
‘What? They hunted this many pigeons?’
He found out that they had hunted over three digits worth of pigeons.
T h i s wa s c o pie d f r om ki n g m t l .o r g
‘……That’s impressive.’
Perhaps because they were focused on combat, they were hunting relentlessly.
‘This could lead to retaliation.’
It was fine for now since it was only three digits, but if it exceeded four digits, there was a possibility of retaliation, so he thought he should warn them to be careful not to be caught off guard.
‘The corruption department’s performance is a little disappointing.’
Since there weren’t any demons in the corruption department who could be considered aces, their performance seemed to be lagging behind other departments.
‘I’ll have to look for demons specialized in corruption at the competition.’
Jung Minwoo put down the Demon Castle invasion statistics report and then……
‘Now, let’s see the kids’ performance.’
He decided to look at the invasion statistics reports of the Demon Communion members and Sayori.
‘Sayori’s performance is the best.’
Perhaps because she had been building her forces for a long time, Sayori’s performance was remarkable.
Her performance was several times higher than the Demon Castle’s.
‘She’s completely taken off.’
Jung Minwoo had no doubt that Sayori would achieve even higher performance soon.
‘The other kids are doing well considering they just started.’
The Demon Communion members’ performance was somewhat lacking, but considering they hadn’t been building their forces for long, it could be considered a great achievement.
‘This is going to bring in quite a bit of demonic energy.’
He was receiving a 1% commission from the kids, so he was looking forward to the demonic energy he would receive this month.
As he finished checking all the invasion statistics reports……
【I’m done.】
Helper informed him that he had finished the tasks he had been assigned.
‘Good, task completed.’
【Tasks completed.】
Jung Minwoo looked at the approval requests and carefully checked if Helper had done his job properly.
‘Hmm.’
As he checked, he couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction. Helper had handled the tasks perfectly.
‘You’re quite capable in terms of work, too.’
【Thank you.】
He decided to check Helper’s analytical abilities as the last verification.
‘Analyze the probability of me winning if I fight Baal, the No. 1 Demon Lord, right now.’
At Jung Minwoo’s command……
【Starting analysis.】
Helper immediately began the analysis.
【Analysis complete.】
And within seconds, he reported that the results were ready.
‘What are the results?’
【Analysis results: The probability of winning against Baal is 0%.】
‘……0%?’
【I ran simulations using hundreds of methods, including not just fighting but also surprise attacks, slander, traps, poisoning, etc., but there is no way to win, no matter what method is used.】
‘Not even a 1% chance?’
【It’s 0%.】
Although he was a little hurt by the 0% result……
‘It makes sense.’
T h i s w a s copi e d f r o m ki n g m t l.o r g
Thinking about it calmly, he felt that Helper’s analysis was accurate.
‘The gap between me and Baal right now is like heaven and earth.’
Even though he had the power to face those around the 30th rank, it was impossible to reach the 1st rank.
‘Then, what if I fight Forneus, the 30th ranked Demon Lord?’
T h i s w a s c op i e d fr o m k i n g m t l. o r g
【100% on land, 50% in the sea.】
‘Why?’
【The reason is……】
Jung Minwoo learned about his unexpected shortcomings from Helper’s explanation.
He couldn’t help but agree with the reasonable explanation.
After confirming that Helper was excellent in all areas, Jung Minwoo decided to actively use him in the future.
