The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 44

Chapter 44: Demons are Highly Capable (5)

Jung Minwoo decided to copy a unique trait before the battle.

【Which demon’s unique trait would you like to copy?】

1. No. 2

2. No. 555

3. No. 777

4. No. 888

5. No. 999

‘777, I’ll copy Anubis’s unique trait.’

【Copying No. 777’s unique trait ‘Awakening’】

Jung Minwoo chose Anubis’s unique trait this time as well.

Elin’s unique trait, ‘Elemental Affinity,’ would have been suitable for dealing with 700 demons, but there was a reason why he copied Anubis’s unique trait.

【Awakening (覺醒)】

Physical abilities are enhanced according to the usage of demonic energy.

It was because the physical ability enhancement effect was desperately needed by Jung Minwoo.

You might be wondering why Jung Minwoo, who doesn’t enjoy close combat, would need it, but…

‘The body includes the head and eyes.’
Thi s w a s c o p i ed f r o m k i ngmtl . or g

Jung Minwoo planned to use it for auxiliary purposes rather than combat.

“Hup!”

As he used the ‘Awakening’ unique trait…

‘Power overflows.’

Blood vessels popped up all over his body, and a sense of omnipotence surged.

‘Shall I try using it?’

Exhaling and finishing his preparations, Jung Minwoo used ‘Demon Eye’ and ‘Mind’s Eye’ simultaneously towards the demons.

Then, he could see the total amount of demonic energy of the 700 demons, and…

【Attack to the right!】

【Strike upwards from below!】

【Aim for the head!】

【Aim for the eyes first!】

:

【Observe the situation and join later!】

700 sentences appeared above the demons’ heads.

“Ugh!”
T h i s w as co p ie d fro m k i n gmt l . o rg

Was it because a large amount of information entered his brain?

A pain like his brain was burning swept over him.

‘Even with physical enhancement, is it difficult to contain 700 pieces of information?’

But, would a demon be called an immortal who adapts for nothing?

Jung Minwoo gritted his teeth and endured the pain.

‘This pain is nothing compared to the pain I felt when I got the new effect of Demon Eye!’

And Jung Minwoo, completely accustomed to the pain, looked at Elin and said,

“Elin, burn them all.”

At Jung Minwoo’s order, Elin stepped forward with a slightly flushed expression.

“…All, burn to death.”

And as she spread her hand…

Whoosh―

A huge flame was created in the air and shot towards the 700 demons.

“Fi, fire!”

“No one with a water-related unique trait?!”

“Da, damn it!”

Some weak demons were engulfed in flames, their protective barriers shattered, and they were eliminated.

“Hold on!”

“She can’t keep it up forever!”

“Surround your bodies with demonic energy!”

And other demons pulled up their demonic energy and endured the flames.

“Anubis, Rok. It’s your turn.”

At Jung Minwoo’s following order, Anubis and Rok stepped forward.

“Finally, I can fight comfortably!!”

Fwoosh!

Anubis ran towards the demons as soon as she used ‘Awakening,’ and…

“I’ll sweep them all away! Ribbit, ribbit.”

Rok transformed into his first form and spewed poison.

The flames also engulfed Anubis and Rok, but…

“…I won’t let my comrades get hurt.”

Strangely, Elin’s flames could distinguish between friend and foe, so Anubis and Rok were not harmed.

“I’ve been waiting for this day!”

As Anubis arrived in front of the demons and raised her greatsword…

Bulge―

Her biceps, triceps, and forearms rapidly grew in size.

“Gasp!”

T h i s w a s c o p ie d f ro m ki ng m t l .o r g
“Ru, run away…”

The demons tried to turn and flee, but…

“Where do you think you’re going!”

Swish――――Slash!
T h i s wa s co p i e d f r o m k ing mt l . or g

She cut down the demons at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, shattering their protective barriers.

Clang―!

Also, the wind blades she created with air pressure intercepted the demons far away, breaking all their protective barriers.

Clang―!
Th i s w a s c o pi e d f ro m k i ng m tl . org

“Die―!”

A demon with a unique trait related to ‘stealth’ ambushed Anubis, aiming for her neck, but…

“Ribbit!”

Rok stuck out his tongue and caught the demon’s body, stopping the ambush.

“Oh, thanks, Rok!”

Anubis smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

“Ri, ribbit.”

Rok scratched his head as if embarrassed.

“…An opening!”

And the demons, who were watching for an opportunity, saw Rok distracted and attacked, but…

“Shadow Deployment.”

Rustle―

“””Uwaaagh!”””

The shadows beneath the demons’ feet transformed into thorns and shot up, shattering their protective barriers.

【Rok, get your act together and focus!】

At Jung Minwoo’s telepathic message, Rok put on a serious expression and focused on the battle again.

Meanwhile, Venus was standing next to Jung Minwoo, doing an excellent job of guarding him.

“Please eliminate all the approaching demons!”

“””Leave it to us!”””

Many demons aimed for Jung Minwoo and Venus, who seemed relatively easy targets, but…

“Where do you think you’re going?”

“I can’t let them come any closer!”

The Marionettes attacked the approaching demons and eliminated them.

“Well done. Everyone, please work a little harder.”

“””Hahaha.”””

At her praise, the Marionettes blushed as if embarrassed.

However, even though the Marionettes were powerful, they were no match for Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members, so they gradually began to be pushed back as time passed.

“Da, damn it!”

“I, if we lose, No. 999 will be angry!”

“We can’t be eliminated here!”

The Marionettes struggled and held on, but…

“””Attack!!!”””

Due to the demons’ persistent attacks, a large number of Marionettes were eliminated.

And so, the demons approached within striking distance of Jung Minwoo, but…

“Hehehe, you’re quite bold to come this far.”

Venus, far from showing any signs of anxiety, greeted the demons with a relaxed attitude.

“It’s just a bluff. Don’t be scared!”

“Anyway, his individual strength is nothing special!”

The demons, who had momentarily hesitated at her relaxed attitude, regained their composure and charged.

“Would you mind helping me fight the other demons?”

Stop―

However, at her request, the demons’ eyes turned into heart shapes, and…

“””Yeah, leave it to us!”””

T h i s w a s c o p i ed f r o m k i n gmtl .o r g
The charging demons turned around and started escorting Jung Minwoo and Venus.

“Wh, what! Why are you suddenly attacking us!”

“You were traitors!”

“Damn it!”

And the demons who were following behind were eliminated by the charmed demons.

“…Crazy, is this for real?”

No. 716, who was watching the situation, looked at the battlefield with an incredulous gaze.

“Five people are taking on 700?”

He couldn’t believe it because five people were easily subduing 700 people.

Now, only 200 demons remained.

At this rate, they would all be annihilated.

“Ru, run away!”
T his wa s c opi e d f r o m k i n gmtl . o r g

“This is a crazy fight!”

And other demons, seemingly having the same thought as No. 716, turned and started running away into the bushes.

The number of demons rapidly decreased, and now only 50 remained.

No, a moment ago, 49 were eliminated, and now only he was left.

‘I, I was trying to fight these guys?’

No. 716 realized that they were from a different world than him.

‘…It was a fight I couldn’t win from the start.’

If they had shown even the slightest injury or fatigue, he might have felt some hope, but…

“What, is he the only one left?”

“…Seems like it.”

“It ended rather anticlimactically. Ribbit, ribbit.”

Seeing them act as if they were out for a stroll, he couldn’t help but lose his fighting spirit.

Step, step, step.

“You’re the only one left.”

Jung Minwoo approached No. 716 and gave him a sly smile.

“Ah…”

No. 716 couldn’t answer and collapsed onto the ground.

“I told you, didn’t I? That all of you would be eliminated here.”

T hi s w a s cop i e d f r o m k in g m tl . o r g
Jung Minwoo said with a sneer.

“But thanks to you, I was able to practice teamwork with these guys. It was a meaningful time. Good work.”

The nuance of his voice, as if everything had gone according to his plan, made No. 716’s eyes tremble.

“…Why, why couldn’t we win? We brought 700 people, why couldn’t we beat you?”

No. 716 wanted to have his curiosity satisfied before he was disposed of.

“That’s simple.”

Squirm, squirm, squirm.

Jung Minwoo said, raising the shadow beneath No. 716’s feet.

“Because our talents are overwhelmingly superior.”

“Ah…”

Clang―

And at the same time as satisfying his curiosity, Jung Minwoo shattered No. 716’s protective barrier.

“Phew, good work, everyone.”

Jung Minwoo turned his head and smiled at the Demon Communion members standing behind him.

“Tsk, I wanted to fight more intensely, but it ended too quickly.”

Anubis clicked her tongue, looking disappointed.

“But it’s not over yet. Don’t be too disappointed.”

“Not over?”

“There are still those who ran away.”

“Oh, right?”

Anubis’s eyes sparkled at Jung Minwoo’s words.

“First, everyone seems to have consumed a considerable amount of demonic energy, so let’s rest and then take care of the rest.”

“Okay.”

“…I’m tired from using too much demonic energy.”

“Rest is good. Ribbit, ribbit.”

Afterward, Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members rested for about two hours and then moved to deal with the remaining remnants.

After finishing off the remaining remnants in 30 minutes, Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members headed to a cave.

“Welcome back.”

Owl greeted Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members with a polite bow.

“Did you prepare well?”

At Jung Minwoo’s question, Owl led them into the cave and said,

“As you can see, I’ve made custom beds for the masters to sleep comfortably.”

Looking in the direction Owl pointed…

“Oh.”

They could see beds made of giant mushrooms.

“I’ve also woven grass into blankets for temperature control.”

Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members were impressed by his considerable dexterity.

‘I made the right decision to leave the work to Owl.’

Jung Minwoo had ordered Owl to find a good place to sleep and gather food because they had to survive for a month.
T h i s w a s c opi ed fr o m k i ng m t l .o rg

“What about the food?”

“I’ve prepared fruits and meat.”

Owl pointed to the floor and continued his explanation.

“I dug into the cave floor to slow down the spoilage of the food.”

Seeing the piled-up food, it was enough to last them for more than a month.

Jung Minwoo smiled with satisfaction and said,

“Good work.”

“It’s nothing. I’m just grateful that you allowed me to be in the top ranks.”

In his current state, Owl could graduate safely.

“Where do you plan to go after graduation?”

Suddenly curious, Jung Minwoo asked Owl where he wanted to go after graduation.

“I’ll go wherever they accept me.”

Owl answered with a wry smile.

‘Well, even if you graduate, you can’t join unless a Demon Lord accepts you.’

Understanding Owl’s answer, Jung Minwoo nodded and said,

“Anything else to report?”

“No. I’ve told you everything.”

“Good.”

Squirm, squirm, squirm.

Jung Minwoo said, raising a shadow.

“Then, see you in a month.”

“I’ll see you then.”

Clang―

And the shadow on the floor transformed into thorns and shot up, shattering Owl’s protective barrier.

They couldn’t get points if they didn’t survive for a month, but since all the other demons were eliminated, the points he had earned so far were enough to graduate.

“Shall we rest for a month then?”
T h i s wa s c o p i e d f r o m k i n g mtl . o r g

Afterward, Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members lay down on the beds and began to enjoy a comfortable rest.
