The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 266

Chapter 266: 10th Place (4)

Jung Minwoo arrived at the Demon Lord’s Castle of Buer, the 10th ranked Demon Lord.

“Halt.”
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i n gmt l. or g

He raised his hand, ordering the Jungsin Cult members and his subordinates to stop.

Swoosh—

Jung Minwoo turned around, facing his subordinates lined up behind him.

“Gentlemen, a fierce battle, drenched in blood, is about to unfold.”

He began his speech in a calm voice.

“Much blood will be shed, but it will be the blood of our enemies, not ours.”

Despite his composed tone, his words were quite provocative.

Having delivered numerous speeches, Jung Minwoo had seemingly mastered the art of boosting his subordinates’ morale without raising his voice.

“You are already accustomed to fighting against the Pigeons. Though you may be weaker in strength, your combat senses are superior.”

Gulp—

“Battles are not won solely through brute force.”

Nod—

“If you fight as you’ve trained, your enemies will bow their heads to you when the battle ends.”

At the mention of bowing heads,

Burning—

His subordinates’ eyes gleamed with burning ambition.

“I ask you, gentlemen. Are you ready to crush our enemies?”

At Jung Minwoo’s question, his subordinates grinned fiercely.

“””Yes! We are ready to crush them!”””

They answered with resounding voices.

Rumble—

T his wa s c opi e d f r o m k ingmt l . o rg
Their voices were so loud that the nearby Demon Lord’s Castle trembled slightly from the sound.

“I like your spirited voices. The Challenge for the Throne will begin soon, so warm up.”

“””Yes!”””

Finishing his speech, Jung Minwoo turned around, intending to head towards Buer’s Demon Lord’s Castle. At that moment,

Creak—

The castle gates opened.

Thud, thud, thud—
T h i s wa s c o p i e d f ro m k in g m t l . o r g

Buer emerged from within, walking towards them.

‘He doesn’t seem surprised. It seems he was prepared in advance, having received information from Satan, just as I expected.’

Jung Minwoo decided to check Buer’s information, activating ‘Heaven’s Eye’.

【Retrieving ‘Buer’s’ information】

Heaven’s Eye activated, and an information window appeared before his eyes.

‘Divine Bow…… Judging by his appearance, I thought he’d be a close-range fighter. This is a bit unexpected.’

Buer had a massive physique and the appearance of a Black Lion, making it hard to imagine him wielding a bow.

‘Well then, shall we see what its effect is?’

Jung Minwoo decided to check the effect of the unique trait, curious about how overpowered the unique trait of a Demon Lord ranked 10th would be.

【Divine Bow】

— When using Demonic Energy, it guarantees a 100% hit rate on the designated target.
T h i s wa s c o p i e d f r om k i n g m t l . o r g

— Power increases with the amount of Demonic Energy used.

— When firing the third arrow, it deals 200% critical damage.

‘No wonder he’s ranked 10th.’

100% hit rate and 200% damage on the third arrow.

‘That’s threatening.’

It could be considered quite an overpowered unique trait.

‘Still, the fact that I’ll win remains unchanged.’

Having received prior information from Satan, he had already made thorough preparations.

‘Meaning, I’ve finished preparing countermeasures ages ago.’

Closing the information window, Jung Minwoo approached Buer.

“Judging by your troops, I believe you know why I’m here.”

Skipping the pleasantries, he went straight to the point.

“Indeed, it seems you’ve come with rebellious intentions.”

“Rebellious? I’m simply ambitious.”

“Do they now call reckless ambition ‘ambition’ these days?”

“I’m not being reckless, so I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

A brief battle of nerves ensued.

“Tsk……”

Buer clicked his tongue and held back his words, seemingly judging that there was nothing to gain from further conversation.

“Since you seem unwilling to talk, I’ll state my purpose.”

Jung Minwoo chuckled at Buer’s reaction.

“Buer, I challenge you for the Throne.”

This w as c o p i ed f ro m k ing m t l . o rg
He pointed his finger at Buer’s face, officially declaring the Challenge for the Throne.

“Pointing your finger at a higher-ranked Demon Lord…… You have no manners.”

“I thought it would look more fitting for a Challenge for the Throne.”

Jung Minwoo brushed off Buer’s comment lightly.

“So, where will you choose as the location?”
T h is w as c o pi e d fro m ki n g m t l . org

He inquired about the location for the Challenge for the Throne.

“Obviously, we’ll hold it here.”

“Good choice.”

“You’re not in a position to judge my choices……”

“I will be soon, so I thought I’d try it out.”

“……”

Confirming that Buer’s expression had hardened and he was somewhat agitated, Jung Minwoo thought,

‘I’ve provoked him enough. We can start the Challenge for the Throne now.’

He turned his gaze to Satan, who was standing beside him.

“Father-in-law?”

He called Satan subtly.

“As the Demon Lord, I will act as the mediator, in accordance with the laws of the Demon World.”

Satan nodded and began the process of the Challenge for the Throne.

“Will the challenger win, or will the defender prevail? Though the outcome is uncertain……”

Unlike before, he finished his speech within a minute.

“I’ll skip explaining the rules, as you all know them.”

He omitted the explanation of the rules, claiming it was tedious.

“The Challenge for the Throne will begin in 30 minutes, so be prepared.”

At Satan’s announcement,

“I’ll go prepare then.”

Buer bowed his head to Satan and replied, then turned his gaze towards Jung Minwoo.

“Jung Minwoo, you will regret challenging me for the Throne. I’ll take this opportunity to engrave our hierarchy into your mind.”

He uttered a meaningful threat before turning back towards his Demon Lord’s Castle.

‘Honestly.’

Jung Minwoo scoffed inwardly at Buer’s words.

‘How can they all react the same way?’

He found it amusing how Buer’s reaction was so similar to the other Demon Lords he had defeated.

‘I wonder how Buer will react when he loses?’

Jung Minwoo wondered if Buer’s reaction to defeat would also be identical to the others.

‘Well, it doesn’t matter how he reacts.’

Watching Buer enter his castle, Jung Minwoo turned back towards his Jungsin Cult members and subordinates.

“Let’s take some time to form ranks.”

They then rearranged their formation, preparing for the upcoming battle.

After about 20 minutes had passed,

Creak—

The Demon Lord’s Castle gates opened.

Clank, clank, clank, clank, clank, clank, clank, clank, clank……

Demons armed with weapons marched out, forming lines in front of the gate.

‘They’re all equipped with close-range weapons.’

Perhaps in preparation for a castle siege, there were no demons wielding ranged weapons.

‘Are they planning a defensive battle?’

It seemed like a decent strategy, but,

‘I’ve already anticipated a defensive battle and prepared accordingly.’

He had already made thorough preparations for a defensive battle as well.

‘Shall we take a look inside?’

Flutter—

Jung Minwoo soared into the sky, observing the interior of the Demon Lord’s Castle.

He could see demons climbing the castle walls and others hiding behind cover.

‘Where’s Buer?’

Scanning for Buer,

‘There he is.’

He spotted Buer standing on the highest tower of the castle, striking various poses.

‘I’ll focus on marking Buer. Are there any other threats?’

Jung Minwoo activated ‘Demon Eye’ to search for powerful enemies.

‘There are about five.’

He identified five demons with particularly dense Demonic Energy.

‘Judging by their power, they must be those who’ve been granted the Proxy position.’

If they were granted the ‘Proxy’ position, they possessed the strength of a Demon Lord ranked between 11th and 15th.

‘I’ll leave those guys to the Jungsin Cult members.’

Though they might be weaker in terms of raw power, Jung Minwoo had no doubt that the Jungsin Cult members could subdue them.

‘Anubis, Rok, and Aold have each appointed five Proxies, so there are 15 demons with the strength of those ranked within the top 30. That’s more than enough to subdue them.’

Including Venus, Elin, and Sayori, there were 21 individuals who could wield the power of those ranked within the top 30.

‘Not bad.’

Flutter—

Finishing his reconnaissance, Jung Minwoo landed back on the ground and explained the situation to his Jungsin Cult members and subordinates.

As they finished their preparations and were ready to fight,

“The Challenge for the Throne begins now!”

Seemingly, 30 minutes had passed, and Satan announced the start of the battle.
T hi s wa s co p ied f r o m k i n g m t l . or g

‘Shall we launch an immediate attack?’

Jung Minwoo turned to Elin.

“Feed them something big.”

He gave her an order.

“……Leave it to me.”

Elin clenched her fists, her expression determined.

“……Try to stop it if you can.”

Emitting intense Demonic Energy,

Swoosh—

She extended her hand towards the Demon Lord’s Castle.

Rumble, rumble, rumble—

The dark clouds that had filled the sky parted in two, and,

Rumble—

A cluster of elements, resembling a galaxy in the universe, materialized.

An overwhelming pressure emanated from it, as if it could devour anything that stood still.

“W-what is that?”

“A g-galaxy?”

“……I feel like I’m going to be sucked in.”

The demons standing in front of the Demon Lord’s Castle stared at the galaxy in terror.

“Are we going to die if that falls?”

“We’ll die just by standing here……?”

“This is beyond calculation……”

“……T-the Demon Lord-nim will stop it, right?”

“H-he will, right?”

Th is w a s c o pi e d f ro m k i n g mt l . o r g
Gazing at the galaxy, a primal fear of death began to grip the demons.

“But, why isn’t the Demon Lord-nim stopping it……?”

“Did something happen?”

As time passed and the galaxy remained, the demons, consumed by extreme fear,

“We can’t just stand here and die……!”

“Charge!”

“Change of plans!”

“We can’t just die like dogs!”

Dash, dash, dash—

They abandoned their orders to defend the gate and ran towards Jung Minwoo.

They would rather die fighting than face certain death.

“F-fire!”

“D-destroy that thing in the sky!”

Whoosh—

Meanwhile, the demons inside the castle launched attacks, attempting to destroy the galaxy floating in the sky. However,

Rumble—

Their attacks were sucked into the galaxy, ending in failure.

“It looks like a galaxy…… but it sucks everything in like a black hole?”

“What kind of combination is that……?”

“Is there even a way to destroy it?”

A cruel, all-consuming power hidden behind a beautiful facade.

“……It’ll be hard to stop. I poured all my Demonic Energy into it.”
T h i s wa s c op ie d f r o m k in g m t l. o r g

Elin kindly informed them that their efforts were futile, then,

“……Die.”

She slammed her hand down.

Rumble—

At that moment, the galaxy hanging in the sky descended towards the Demon Lord’s Castle.

Crash—
T h is w a s c op i e d fr om k i n g m t l. o r g

The massive galaxy swallowed the Demon Lord’s Castle whole.
