The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 256

Chapter 256: Anubis (2)

Like a torrential downpour, countless lances surged towards Anubis.

‘I was worried it would end too easily, but I didn’t expect this kind of move!’

Anubis felt relieved that Seir wasn’t a pushover, swinging her greatsword to cut down the oncoming lances.

No, she tried to cut them down, but……

Clang ―――!

“Hmm?”

Her greatsword bounced off, failing to cut through the lances.

‘I couldn’t cut them?’

Anubis dodged the falling lances and thought,

‘Was I lacking strength?’

She swung the greatsword with more force, but……

Clang ―――!

It bounced off again, just like before.

‘This is strange.’

Increasing the number of lances should have weakened their durability, making them easier to cut.

“Why aren’t they getting cut?”

Unable to hold back her curiosity, Anubis asked Seir why the lances weren’t being cut.

“Ha! Do you think I’d tell you?”

“If you don’t plan on telling me, you don’t have to unfreeze me.”

“Who said I wasn’t planning on telling you?”

“So, you will tell me?”

“I’ll tell you, especially.”

“Okay, thank you.”

“You seem to think the durability would have decreased. That’s only for the weaklings.”

“So, you’re saying their durability didn’t decrease because you’re not a weakling?”

“Of course.”

“I see.”

Seir, who initially pretended he wouldn’t tell her, readily explained the reason.

‘He didn’t become a Demon Lord by luck, it seems.’

Having satisfied her curiosity, Anubis gave up on cutting down the lances with her greatsword.

‘I guess I have no choice but to dodge.’

She decided to focus on evading the attacks.

Whizz, whizz, whoosh.

Boom, boom, kaboom.

T h i s w a s co pi e d f r o m kin g mt l .o rg
Whizz, whizz, whoosh.

Boom, boom, kaboom.

Whizz, whizz, whoosh.

Boom, boom, kaboom.

Whizz, whizz, whoosh.

Boom, boom, kaboom.

She dodged the lances, seeking an opportunity to counterattack, but……

‘I don’t see an opening.’

Unfortunately, Seir didn’t give her a chance to counter.

‘I thought it would be easy since he’s weaker than me, but I didn’t expect to struggle this much.’

She couldn’t do anything as he avoided close combat, where she had the advantage, and kept his distance.

‘Tsk, a Demon Lord fighting so sneakily from behind, how unlikable.’

As Anubis dodged the lances, she was about to ponder how to attack when……

【It has been 10 minutes since the battle began. Your physical abilities will be further enhanced.】

A message window appeared before her eyes, and at the same time……

‘Oh?’

Power surged through her body.

‘My physical abilities have been greatly enhanced!’

Anubis was pleased with her newfound strength. At that moment……

“You shouldn’t be distracted!”

Seir seized the opportunity and launched a lance.

‘I think I can do it now, right?’

Anubis adjusted her stance and……

Whoosh ―――!

Just as the lance reached her……

“Ha!”

Slice ―――!

She swung her greatsword and cut the lance clean in two.

“Oh, it works!”

Anubis rejoiced at being able to cut the lance.

“N-no way!”

Seir, on the other hand, reacted with shock.

“What do you mean, ‘no way’?”

Anubis scoffed at Seir’s reaction and said,

“It’s not good to underestimate Noona by thinking she can’t even cut a single lance, you know?”

Slice ―― slice, slice, slice.

She effortlessly cut down three more lances that were flying towards her.

“If this is all you got, you won’t be able to beat Noona.”

“Shut up!”
T h is wa s co p i e d f r o m k i n gm t l. o r g

As if unwilling to accept reality, Seir ignored Anubis’s words and continued to attack with the lances.

“Don’t get cocky just because you cut down a measly four lances!”

Whoosh ―――!

This time, Seir launched 100 lances.

“It won’t be easy for you to destroy all 100 of them!”

“Nope, it’s not~”

Anubis taunted Seir, effortlessly cutting down all 100 lances that were flying towards her.

“This time, it’s 1,000!”

As 10 times the amount of lances surged towards her……

Slice ―― clang, slice ―― clang, slice ―― clang, slice ―― clang, slice……
T h i s w a s c o p ie d f r o m k in g m t l .or g

She couldn’t cut down all the lances at once, seemingly overwhelmed by the 1,000 lances.

‘Sigh, the increasing number is a bit bothersome.’

Even though her physical abilities had increased, it was inevitable that she would feel pressured by 1,000 lances imbued with a Demon Lord’s demonic energy.

‘It’ll be difficult to attack him in the sky like this.’

As Anubis continued to dodge and cut down the lances……

【It has been 20 minutes since the battle began. Your physical abilities will be further enhanced.】

10 minutes had passed unnoticed, and her physical abilities were enhanced once again.

‘With this much strength, I think I can even force him down from the sky.’

After cutting down all 1,000 lances with her enhanced physical abilities, Anubis said with a sinister smile,

“Now, it’s Noona’s turn, right?”

She spread her wings from her back and soared into the sky.

“You think I’ll just stand by and watch?!”

Following the 1,000 lances, Seir launched 10,000 lances towards Anubis.

Slice ―――!

However, with a single swing of her sword, all 10,000 lances were cut down and shattered.

“C-crazy……! You monstrous bastard!”

Seir was momentarily flustered, but as if determined to see who would win, he started increasing the number of lances even further.

Another 10 minutes passed.

【It has been 30 minutes since the battle began. Your physical abilities will be further enhanced.】

Anubis experienced her third physical enhancement.

‘Shall we end this now?’

No matter how many lances there were, they no longer posed a threat to her, and Anubis felt bored with the fight, deciding to end it.

“This is boring. Let’s finish this.”

“Shut up!!!”

Seir, whose pride seemed to have been scratched by Anubis’s words, exploded with rage and unleashed another barrage of attacks.

“You’re doing something meaningless.”

Slice ―――!

“Not yet!”

“Nope, you’re done.”

Slice ―――!

“D-damn it!”

“How about you stop struggling now?”

Slice ―――!

“Dieeeeeee!”

“Nope, killing is against the rules.”
Th i s w a s c op i e d fr o m k i ng m t l . o r g

Slice ―――!

Seir’s attacks couldn’t even graze her clothes anymore.

Before, the speed at which he copied the lances was faster than the speed at which they were destroyed, so he wasn’t pushed back, but……

“H-how could this be……”

Now, the situation was reversed, and he was struggling to keep up with the speed at which the lances were destroyed.

“I’m done playing around. I’m really ending this now.”

“Who said you could!”

T h is w a s c o p i e d f r om k in g mt l .or g
“Who said I could? Of course, I can.”

Anubis instantly appeared in front of Seir and said,

“First, I need to eat some monster meat.”

Slice ―.

She cut off the Pegasus’s head.

“P-Pegasus!!”

“Come on, don’t overreact just because a monster died.”

And finally……

“I’ll gladly take your rank.”

She punched Seir in the abdomen with all her might.

Boom ―――!

The impact created a shockwave that rippled through the air.

“Cough!”

Seir couldn’t withstand the attack, coughing up blood and losing consciousness.

Thus, Seir’s rank was taken by Anubis.

After claiming victory, Anubis collected the dead Pegasus and landed back on the ground.

“Congratulations on your victory, Captain.”

Her subordinate, the 1st Rank demon Shuman, congratulated her.

“Congratulations, Captain!”

“Captain, you were awesome!”

“Seeing you punch him made me feel so good!”

Following Shuman, other subordinates approached her, congratulating her on her victory.

“Hey, don’t make such a fuss over something so obvious.”

Defeating the 71st ranked Demon Lord was truly nothing special, but regardless, it felt good to be congratulated by her subordinates.

“Oh well, I’m in a good mood! I was going to eat this monster all by myself, but let’s share it!”

She generously offered the dead monster, shouting,

“””W-wow……”””

Contrary to her expectations, her subordinates let out reluctant cheers.

“You guys……? Forget it! I’m not giving it to you. I’m eating it all by myself!”

She was trying to be generous and share the monster meat with her subordinates, but seeing their reaction, her desire to share completely disappeared.

“Instead! Let’s go to a nearby restaurant after the Challenge for the Throne is over.”

T h i s w a s c o p i e d fr om kin g m t l. or g
Still, they were her subordinates, so she decided to take them to a restaurant instead of giving them the monster meat.
T h i s w a s cop ie d f ro m k i n g mtl . o rg

“””Wow!”””

Their reaction was much more enthusiastic this time.

“Honestly, you guys are unbelievable.”

As she chuckled at her subordinates,

“Damn it, I was counting on you! Ribbit, ribbit.”

“Congratulations.”

Rok and Aold approached her, offering their congratulations.

“Thanks, thanks~”

After the congratulations from Anubis’s subordinates and the Demon Communion members ended,

“I will now announce the winner.”

Satan, who had been waiting for it to end, finally spoke.

“The winner is Anubis!”

“Oh yeah.”

Anubis waved to the Demon Lords who had moved from the arena to the spectator seats, relishing her victory. At that moment……

【You have won the Challenge for the Throne and have been promoted from 72nd to 71st rank.】

A message window appeared before her eyes.

‘Oh, I’ve been promoted! I wonder how much demonic energy I’ll receive? I hope it’s a lot.’

Feeling anticipation, she waited for the demonic energy to flow in.

【You have achieved the incredible feat of rising from 72nd to 71st rank, a single step up.】

【As a reward, you will receive a large amount of demonic energy.】

Within seconds, demonic energy began to flow into her.

‘……Jackpot!’

Anubis felt a thrill as the immense amount of demonic energy surged into her, accepting it readily.

‘Not only is the density of the demonic energy deep, but the amount is also incredible, right?’

Feeling her strength increase by at least twofold, Anubis wondered how strong she would become if she reached a higher rank.

‘Phew, is it finally over?’

Having absorbed all the demonic energy, Anubis felt satisfied, thinking that her next plan should be to challenge the 70th ranked Demon Lord. But at that moment……

【You have achieved the incredible feat of defeating a Demon Lord.】

【As a reward, you will receive a large amount of demonic energy.】

T h i s w a s c o p ied f r om k i ngm tl. or g
As if it wasn’t over yet, another message window appeared.

‘This is on a whole different level compared to when I was a 1st Rank.’
T h is w a s co pi e d f rom ki n g mt l .o r g

Witnessing her strength visibly increasing in real-time, Anubis felt a sense of omnipotence, as if she could achieve anything.

‘I think I’ve become at least four times stronger now, right?’

This was the level of strength she had gained since becoming a Demon Lord.

Compared to when she was a 1st Rank, her strength had increased so much that it was incomparable.

‘Hehe, with this strength, I can easily defeat the 70th rank.’

When she first became a Demon Lord, she thought she could win against the 70th ranked Demon Lord, but……

‘I think I can just overpower him.’

With her current strength, she felt confident that she could crush him.

“Phew……”

Anubis took a deep breath, calming her excitement. Then,

“70th ranked Demon Lord ‘Decarabia’, I challenge you to the Challenge for the Throne!”

She called out the name of the Demon Lord who had fallen from 69th to 70th rank, ‘Decarabia’, and issued a challenge.

“W-what?”

Decarabia, who was sitting in the spectator seats, was flustered by the sudden challenge.

“Are you scared? If you are, you can refuse.”

“……”

“Answer quickly, so we can fight.”

“……”

Decarabia frowned, seemingly lost in thought.

“Sigh…… I didn’t expect to be challenged.”

Thud ―

After a moment, he stood up from his seat and began walking down towards the arena.
