The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 294

Chapter 294: Junggye (8)

“Come at me!!!”

Anubis, her hair turning crimson, yelled as she swung her greatsword towards the Jung Sinhawal.

Swoosh

A single swing of her sword took the lives of 100 Jung Sinhawal.

“Did you really think you could participate with such pathetic skills?!”

Swinging her greatsword again.

Swoosh

Anubis’s greatsword cleaved through another 100 Jung Sinhawal.

“What the…… If they’re this weak, maybe even I could aim for Daejungwang.”

With a confident smile, she was about to attack the next Jung Sinhawal when……

“How arrogant.”

A male voice came from behind her.

Whoosh

The sound of a weapon cutting through the air followed.

“……What?”

Anubis, startled by the silent surprise attack, turned her head.

“Oh no……!”

A spear was right in front of her eyes.

“……Looks like this is unavoidable.”

Anubis tried to twist her body to minimize the damage, but at that moment……

Clang—!

Rok appeared, striking the spear away with his fist.

“Ooh, as expected of someone who was with Jungshin-nim. Not bad skills.”

The man who launched the surprise attack, Lucifer, expressed admiration for Rok blocking his attack.

“Then try blocking this.”

He quickly moved, taking a position behind Anubis and thrusting his spear again.

At that moment……

“Hey.”

Rok’s face contorted.

“Don’t touch my wife if you don’t want to die.”

Clang—!

He unleashed a ferocious aura, deflecting Lucifer’s attack.

“I thought you were an easygoing guy, but you have quite a temper.”

“I don’t know about my temper, but I won’t let anyone who touches my wife get away with it!”

“The husband has arrived.”

Rok’s lips twitched at Lucifer’s sarcasm.

“Oh, thank you for the compliment.”

Then, he put on a bright smile and replied politely, “Thank you.”

“……That wasn’t a compliment.”

Lucifer looked dumbfounded at Rok, who had taken his words literally.

“Thanks for the compliment, but you still have to pay for attacking my wife, right?”
Th is w a s c o p i ed f r o m ki n gm t l .o r g

Rok adjusted his stance, about to charge at Lucifer, when……

“Hey, hubby.”

“Huh?”

Anubis stopped Rok, who was about to charge, by grabbing his shoulder.
T hi s w a s cop i e d fro m k i n g mtl . o r g

“I’ll handle him myself. Stay out of it.”

“But……”

“No buts. I’ll take care of him.”

She raised her greatsword, declaring that she would deal with Lucifer herself.

“……But if it looks like I’m going to get hurt, you can step in.”

“Don’t worry, that won’t happen.”

At their conversation……

“She won’t get hurt…… Didn’t you almost die just a moment ago?”

Lucifer scoffed, joining the conversation.

“When was I almost dying? I was almost hurt, that’s all.”

Anubis corrected Lucifer’s words.

“But you know what? While we’ve been chatting, 10 minutes have passed.”

She smiled mischievously, informing him of the elapsed time.

“What does that have to do with our fight?”

“It matters because it means I’ve gotten stronger!”

Bang—!

She charged at Lucifer.

“……You’ve gotten faster.”

Lucifer’s face was filled with astonishment as she reached him in an instant.

“You’re about to get a beating from your unni!”

“Who are you calling unni?”

Greatsword and spear clashed.

T h i s was c o p i e d f r o m k i ng m t l . or g
Kwaaaaaaaaaaa—!

A tremendous shockwave erupted, causing an earthquake.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang……

They exchanged thousands of blows in a single second.

“Go Anubis!”

Rok stood behind, cheering for Anubis with clenched fists.

T hi s w a s co p ie d f r o m k i ngmt l .o r g
Meanwhile, Roa……

“You think I’m easy prey, huh?”

He was surrounded by other Jung Sinhawal.

“It’s not that you’re easy, but you seem like the only one we have a chance of defeating.”

“Yeah, so don’t take it personally.”

“The others are too strong, you know?”

Hearing their reasons for attacking him, Roa……

“Ha, this hurts my pride.”

He hardened his expression and activated ‘Awakening’ and ‘Ultimate Evolution’.

His hair turned crimson, his eyes bloodshot, and a green armor enveloped him.

The Jung Sinhawal flinched at his intensified aura.

“Will you let me go if I surrender now?”

Realizing they had chosen the wrong opponent, they tried to negotiate with Roa.

“No.”

At his firm refusal, the Jung Sinhawal……

“””A, attack!”””

With resigned faces, they charged at Roa.

“I’m actually quite strong, you know!”

Roa drew his greatsword from subspace.

“Die.”

Swoosh—!

He killed the charging Jung Sinhawal with a single swing.

Indeed, he was incredibly powerful, just like the son of Anubis and Rok.

At that moment, Jung Minwoo’s children……

“Why us?”

“We thought we would be the last opponents……”

“Can’t we fight later?”

They were facing off against a single Jung Sinhawal.

That Jung Sinhawal was……

“That won’t be possible.”

The Head Butler.

“Why not?”

Jung Garam asked.

Thi s w as c o p i e d f ro m k i n g mt l.o r g
“To confirm your abilities.”

The Head Butler bowed his head and answered respectfully.

“We could do that separately……”

“I apologize. It is Jungshin-nim’s order, so I must obey.”

“……”

That was right.

Jung Minwoo had anticipated that the other Jung Sinhawal wouldn’t attack his children simply because they were his offspring, so he had given a separate order to the Head Butler.

“Then, we have no choice but to comply.”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

“Not at all.”

The Head Butler stepped back a few paces.

“Please allow me a moment to prepare.”
Th i s w as c o p i e d f r om ki n g m t l .o r g

He began to gather his strength.

Thump—!

The Head Butler’s body instantly bulked up with muscles, his size increasing.

“From now on, I will consider you intruders and those who intend to attack Jungshin-nim.”

A strange statement.

But there was a reason why the Head Butler was saying this.

— When protecting the master within the mansion, all abilities are temporarily increased tenfold.

— When enemies intrude within the mansion, all abilities are temporarily increased tenfold.

It was because of these conditions attached to the effects.
T h i s wa s cop i e d f r o m k in g m tl . o r g

One might wonder how he could activate the effects just by speaking, but……

It was possible because the Head Butler firmly believed in his words, not just uttering them.

In other words, he had achieved it through self-hypnosis.

Thump—!

His size increased once more.

Thud—!

A tremendous aura surged from his body.

Gulp—

The children swallowed nervously, their eyes fixed on the Head Butler.

“Young Master? Young Ladies? Please, attack. I will yield the first move.”

Yielding the first move.

It could be seen as a statement that belittled them.

“Very well.”

“Don’t regret it.”

“No take-backs, okay?”

However, the children were grateful for the concession rather than offended.

That’s how unusual the Head Butler’s aura felt.

“Here I go!”

Jung Garam kicked off the ground, charging towards the Head Butler and throwing a punch.

Whoosh—!

A seemingly threatening punch.

But the Head Butler stood still, making no attempt to block.

Jung Garam’s fist reached the Head Butler’s face and finally struck him.

Slide—

No, to be precise, it grazed past him.

“Young Master’s ‘Hallucination’ unique trait does not work on me.”

As the Head Butler’s words implied, Jung Garam had attacked using an illusion.
T h i s w a s cop i ed f r o m k i ng m t l . o rg

“……How did you know?”

“My senses have heightened along with my strength, so I can tell.”

“……”

Realizing that his illusions wouldn’t work……

“Then, I’ll just have to erode your mental strength!”

Jung Garam actively used his illusions, trying to disrupt the Head Butler’s vision.

“It’s pointless, Young Master.”

“Is it really?”

As if that wasn’t enough, Jung Garam used ‘Charm’ to try and enchant the Head Butler.

“It’s useless.”

But his attempt to enchant failed.

“In that case, I have no choice but to interfere with your mind.”

Jung Garam exerted his power, trying to invade the Head Butler’s mind, but……

“……”

Unfortunately, he failed to interfere with his mind.

“……How?”

He was bewildered by his inability to affect the Head Butler.

“Allow me to explain.”

The Head Butler began to explain why his abilities wouldn’t work.

“All tasks performed within the mansion receive a significant boost. This means that combat, as a task, also becomes stronger. In addition, I receive a substantial stat boost when serving the master.”

“……”

“My abilities are increased tenfold when protecting the master within the mansion. Furthermore, when enemies intrude within the mansion, they are temporarily increased tenfold.”

“……”

“However, instead of my power being increased twentyfold, it is multiplied, resulting in a hundredfold increase.”
Th is w a s co p ie d fro m ki ng mt l.o rg

“……A hundredfold.”

“In other words, my mental strength has also increased a hundredfold, rendering your abilities ineffective.”

Hearing the explanation, they understood why their abilities wouldn’t work.

But even though they understood……

“Whether it works or not, we’ll find out later!”

They had no intention of giving up.

As they continued to cast illusions, charm, and attempt to tamper with his mind……

“Since the others aren’t attacking, I will now make my move.”

The Head Butler declared that he would start attacking.

As he took a step……

Thi s was co p ied f r o m k i n g m t l . or g
Fwoosh—

His figure blurred, and he instantly appeared in front of Jung Garam.

“……What?”

Jung Garam threw a punch at the Head Butler, but……

Grab—

His attack was effortlessly blocked.

“Young Master, this will hurt a lot.”

The Head Butler was about to throw a punch at Jung Garam when……

Splash—

The solid floor suddenly turned into liquid, and the Head Butler sank into it.

“Gasp!”

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—!

Explosions rang out from within the liquid floor.

“Phew……”

Jung Hanna wiped away her sweat, exhaling deeply.

“That should have inflicted some damage.”

She was about to follow up with another attack, not letting her guard down, when……

Splash—

The Head Butler emerged from the liquid floor.

“Oh no!”

Jung Hanna tried to launch another attack, but……

“Young Lady, your attacks are too slow.”

Bam—!

The Head Butler’s fist struck her abdomen first, and her attack failed.

“Cough!”

Thud—

Jung Hanna rolled pathetically on the floor, coughing up blood.

“His, his strength is……!”

Her face hardened as she realized all her bones had been broken with a single blow.

“First, I will take down Young Lady Jung Hanna.”

The Head Butler, unharmed, walked leisurely towards Jung Hanna.

“Young Lady, it was a good fight.”

As he reached her and was about to extend his hand……

“You haven’t forgotten about me, have you?”

Bloodshot eyes, red armor, and an overflowing aura.

Jung Hongju, her strength significantly enhanced by ‘Unique Trait Enhancement’, grabbed the Head Butler’s shoulder.

“How could I forget? I was merely waiting for your attack.”

“Is that so? Then you don’t have to wait any longer. I’m attacking now!”

Jung Hongju squeezed the shoulder she was holding with all her might and swung the axe in her other hand towards the Head Butler.

“As expected, Young Lady Jung Hongju’s aura is powerful.”

The Head Butler simply smiled, seemingly unfazed by the attack.

“Let’s see if you can still smile after your head is split open!”

As the axe struck the Head Butler’s head……

Clang—

The axe shattered into pieces.

“……?”

Despite the axe shattering, the Head Butler’s head remained perfectly intact, without a single scratch.

“Young Lady Jung Hongju.”

“……”

“Now, it’s my turn to counterattack.”

At the Head Butler’s words……

“No, how are we supposed to win……”

Jung Hongju wore a resigned expression.
