The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 244

Chapter 244: Preparation (1)

After the duel ended.

“I’ll be going now, to take care of the tasks you entrusted me with, Master.”

Aold left the Demon Lord’s exclusive training room with a gloomy expression.

‘That kid, getting a little beaten up and immediately becoming disheartened.’

Jung Minwoo thought to himself that he would fix that weak mentality later when he had the chance.

‘Now that the business matters are all settled, shall I prepare for the Challenge for the Throne?’

Before preparing for the Challenge for the Throne, he wondered if there was anything he hadn’t instructed them to do.

‘Head Butler is in charge of the Arena and tourist attractions, Rok is in charge of Ranger training, Aold is in charge of overall operations. Good, I’ve instructed them all without leaving anything out.’

He was able to confirm that he had given all the instructions without leaving anything out.

‘Then, I can start preparing right away.’

Before putting it into action.

‘What were the chances of winning when I faced the 30th ranked Demon Lord and his subordinates alone?’

He asked Helper about the odds of winning.

【When facing them alone, 70% on land, 25% at sea】

‘What if I absorb all the Demonic Energy I gained from business 5 months later?’

【Calculating the current rate of Demonic Energy increase, 100% on land, 70% at sea】

T h i s w as c o p i e d f ro m k i n g m tl . org
‘Lastly, if I receive duel training from Satan for 5 months?’

【100% both on land and at sea】

As you can see from the questions he asked, Jung Minwoo was planning to take on the Challenge for the Throne alone.

‘It’s a shame to stop the business at a time when it’s about to get on track and prepare for battle.’

He could take the Combat Department with him, but there were many related businesses, and stopping them would create a big gap in the business.

‘It’s better for me to push myself a little harder and solve it alone.’

He had asked this question when he got Helper, so he had already received a promise from Satan to help him.

‘Did he say he would do anything for his son-in-law……?’

Even thinking about Satan calling him “Jung son-in-law” and showing affection when he asked for the favor gave him goosebumps.

Seeing Satan’s reaction, one might ask if he didn’t know that the marriage was for raising his rank.

‘The problem is, he knows the reason and he’s too happy about it.’

He knew very well, because he had explained the reason along with the date of the wedding.

Contrary to his expectation that Satan would be furious because he was a doting father, he didn’t mind at all, saying that love would blossom from it.

‘It’s burdensome, but…… it’s better than him hating me……’

It was a hundred, a thousand times better than Satan nagging him for marrying his daughter without love.

‘If things go according to plan, we won’t have to postpone the wedding date.’

Originally, he had expected that the Challenge for the Throne would be postponed due to business, and naturally, the wedding would be postponed as well.

‘Thanks to Aold, we don’t have to postpone it.’

Fortunately, thanks to bringing Aold at the right time, it seemed like he would be able to hold the wedding on the scheduled date.

‘If I postpone it, Satan will be very upset.’

After finishing his thoughts, Jung Minwoo.

‘Satan said I could visit him anytime, right?’

He decided to head to the Demon Lord’s Castle to prepare for the Challenge for the Throne.

Afterward, he explained the changed plan to the Demon Communion members and moved to the Demon Lord’s Castle.

When he arrived at the Demon Lord’s Castle and entered Satan’s office.

“My son-in-law is here?”

Satan greeted him with a bright smile and waved his hand.

“Demon Lord-nim, how have you been?”

“I’ve been well thanks to my son-in-law.”

“……”

“By the way, you’re here now, which means you’re going to prepare for the Challenge for the Throne, right?”

This wa s c o pi e d f ro m k i n gm tl. o r g
“Yes, that’s right.”

Satan checked the time and said.

“5 months, that’s plenty of time to prepare.”

He expressed satisfaction with the ample time remaining.

“Just so you know, I won’t go easy on you in the duel training just because you’re my son-in-law.”

“That’s what I want.”

“Don’t come crying to me to stop later, even if you’re in tears.”

“That won’t happen.”

“Well, I can’t imagine you crying.”

Knowing his personality, he would never cry, but would rather tenaciously try to hit him one more time.

“Before we start the duel training, you should go to the 30th ranked Demon Lord and declare the Challenge for the Throne, right?”

“No, I plan to declare the Challenge for the Throne later.”

Jung Minwoo shook his head at Satan’s words.

“Why?”

“If I declare the Challenge for the Throne in advance, wouldn’t that give him time to prepare?”

“That’s right.”

“So, I’m going to finish all the preparations, visit him, declare the Challenge for the Throne, and fight right away.”

“Oh, that’s a good idea.”

If he declared the Challenge for the Throne and said he wanted to fight right away, the challenged Demon Lord would have no choice but to fight without preparation.

“I knew I picked the right son-in-law. Very reliable!”

“Thank you.”
T h i s w a s c o p i ed f r o m kin gm t l . o r g

Satan couldn’t help but admire the good idea.

“This is why I can’t help but like my son-in-law.”

“Thank you.”

“Really, I don’t know how happy I am to have a son-in-law with such a bright future.”

“……”

Th is w a s c o p ied f r o m k i n gmtl . o r g
“My daughter has a good eye for men……”

“Please, let’s start the duel training.”

Jung Minwoo interrupted Satan’s endless praise, thinking that if this went on, it would be dawn, and said.

“Ah, right? I’m a bit excited because this is my first time having a son-in-law.”

Satan smiled awkwardly and said.

T h i s w a s c o p i e d from k i n g m t l . o rg
“We won’t do the duel training in the training room, but somewhere else.”

“Somewhere else?”

He opened a subspace, put his hand inside, and took out an artifact made of a red sphere.

Th is w a s c o p ied f ro m ki n gm tl .or g
“The training room is a bit ambiguous for a duel, so we’ll fight in a virtual space using the ‘Battle Space’ artifact.”

“Indeed, it would be a bit ambiguous for you, Demon Lord-nim, to duel in the training room.”

If Satan showed even a little bit of his true power, the barrier would be destroyed and he would die, so it was safer to fight in a virtual space.

“I’ll use it right here, without moving.”

“Alright.”

As Satan poured Demonic Energy into the red sphere and threw it on the floor.

Whoosh―

A red portal appeared in the air.

“Let’s go inside.”

“Yes.”

Following Satan, he entered the portal.

Swoosh―

A space entirely in gray unfolded before them.

T h i s w a s c o p i e d fr o m k i n g m t l .org
‘It’s been a while.’

He felt nostalgic, as he had used this space in the past to prepare for the promotion exam.

‘Back then, I got beaten up by the virtual enemy, who was me.’

He vowed to beat the virtual enemy up when he used the Battle Space again, but.

‘Unfortunately, I can’t do that now.’

He had to receive duel training from Satan now, so he decided to postpone his revenge for later.

‘Is Satan somewhere else?’

Seeing that he was alone in the gray space, it seemed like they were separating the users just like in the old days.

‘Then shall I request a duel with Satan?’

Just as Jung Minwoo was about to request a duel to call Satan.

【You have received a request for a real duel from ‘Satan’. Do you accept?】

A duel request message arrived from Satan.

“I accept.”

He replied that he would accept the duel.

【You have accepted ‘Satan’s real duel request】

Flash―

Light flashed and Satan appeared.

“Let’s start the duel right away without further ado.”

“Alright.”

Jung Minwoo nodded at Satan’s words and prepared for the duel.

As he thought about copying the Unique Traits.

【Which demon’s Unique Trait would you like to copy?】

T h i s wa s co p ie d fro m k in g mt l. org
Rok

Aold

Anubis

Elin

Venus

Lucifer

Dantalion

666 (Deceased)

A message window appeared before him.

‘I’ll copy them all.’

Jung Minwoo, who had been able to copy all Unique Traits since he became a Demon Lord, decided to copy them all to face Satan with full power.

【Copying Rok’s Unique Trait ‘Ultimate Evolution’】

【Copying Aold’s Unique Trait ‘Enhanced Feather Generation’】

【Copying Anubis’s Unique Trait ‘Awakening’】

【Copying Elin’s Unique Trait ‘Elemental Affinity’】

【Copying Venus’s Unique Trait ‘Charm’】

【Copying Lucifer’s Unique Trait ‘Pride’】

Then, numerous message windows popped up.

Boom―――!

T h i s w as c op ied f r o m k i n g m tl. o rg
Power surged from his body, and he felt a sense of omnipotence, as if he could do anything.

‘With this much power, I might be able to stand up to Satan’s claws, wouldn’t I?’

Jung Minwoo thought absurdly and gave Helper an order.

‘You control Shadow.’

【There is a 100% chance of death if you engage in the duel with full power】

‘It’s fine.’

【Taking control of Shadow, proceeding with ‘Combat’】

After finishing giving the order.

“Here I come.”

He adjusted his posture and said to Satan.

“Come at me.”

Satan didn’t seem to be preparing anything, just beckoning him with a flick of his finger.

“Then I won’t hold back!”

Without hesitation, he charged at Satan.

Crash―――――――――Bang!

With a tremendous sonic boom, he arrived in front of Satan in an instant.

‘If I attack here, I’ll be countered.’

Before throwing a punch, Jung Minwoo used ‘Brain Eye’ to ensure a proper hit.

Thump―

Then, his head felt clear, and the world began to slow down.

‘Satan hasn’t reacted yet.’

Fortunately, Satan didn’t seem to have copied ‘Brain Eye’, as he showed no movement.

‘Let’s apply the debuffs here.’

Jung Minwoo used ‘Demon Eye’ to apply all sorts of debuffs to Satan.

Defense reduction, health reduction, slow reaction, damage amplification, lack of focus…… and so on.
T hi s w a s c o pi e d f r om k i ngm tl .or g

After finishing the task of applying hundreds of debuffs.

“I’ll give you a good one.”

Using Elemental Affinity, he imbued his fist with all the elements.

Woo―ong.

And then he covered it with Demonic Energy.

Swoosh―

He also created tens of thousands of feathers in the air, preparing to attack together.

【Shadow Deployment】

Finally, when even Helper finished preparing to attack using Shadow.

“Ha!”

Shhh――――――――――――――――Whack!

He swung his fist at Satan.

Gooooooooooo―

The air distorted just from the force of his swing.

He was still using Brain Eye, so Satan didn’t react at all until his fist was almost upon him.

‘Good, the first attack is a success!’

Just as his fist was about to strike Satan’s face.

“When are you going to attack? I’m going to fall asleep at this rate.”

Satan turned his head and gave a sly smile.

“……What?”

He wondered how Satan could move while he was using Brain Eye, but.

“Damn it!”

Jung Minwoo tried to increase the speed of his fist to land a hit.

Just as his fist was about to touch Satan’s face.

“You didn’t really think your attack would work on me, did you? Even if you are my son-in-law, if you thought that way, I’m a little disappointed.”

Satan scoffed and.

Slice――――

Spurt――――

“Huh?”

He cut off his right arm.

“……When did he……?”

Despite using Brain Eye, he couldn’t keep up with Satan’s speed.

“……I didn’t see it.”

Jung Minwoo was about to ask when he had cut off his arm, but.

Splat――!

His head exploded, preventing him from asking any further questions.

Thus, just 0.1 seconds after the duel started, Jung Minwoo met his first death.
