The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 55

Chapter 55: Downfall (1)

A week later.

Whoosh

A blue portal appeared on a piece of land on the planet Yurain.

Thud, thud, thud.

Two demons walked out of the portal.

One of the demons, with a large build, scratched his head and grumbled.

“Ugh, why did Baal-nim give us this task? It’s so bothersome.”

The other demon, skinny and gaunt, chuckled at the grumbling.

“Hey, do you think these opportunities come often? Baal-nim promised us bonus points on the promotion exam if we handle this. Don’t you remember?”

“I remember, but I don’t like that we have to go out of our way to kill some young chicks.”

“Tsk, so you’re not going to do it?”

At the skinny demon’s words, the large demon shook his head.

“Who said I wouldn’t do it? I just said I don’t like it.”

“Whatever. Let’s just get started.”

“Right. We can’t waste time on this.”

The large demon abruptly sat down on the ground.

“Hup!!!”

He drew up Demonic Energy and used his unique trait, ‘Demonic Energy Detection’.

About a minute passed.

“Found them.”

He found Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members without much difficulty.

“Oh, already?”

“This is a piece of cake.”

The large demon shrugged.

“Where are they?”

The skinny demon asked, and the large demon took out a map, pointing to a spot.

“Here.”

The skinny demon looked at the map and burst into laughter.

“Pfft, they’re desperately trying to survive, aren’t they?”

It was no wonder, as the place where Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members were located was the Holy Empire, known to be under the angels’ management.

“Did they think we wouldn’t be able to kill them if they were there?”

“Indeed, it’s a cute idea for young chicks to think.”

The demons scoffed at their actions and put the map away.

“But wouldn’t it be safer to kill the higher beings who made the contract with these guys before we start working?”

The skinny demon shook his head at the large demon’s question.

“If we want to kill them, we also have to make Demon Servants. How long will it take to make them and kill them? It’s better to kill the young chicks directly, even if it means using more power.”

“Well, you’re right. By now, their Demon Servants would be nothing special.”

“Shall we leave now?”

“Good.”

The two demons pulled out their wings from their backs.

Flap

They began to fly quickly towards the Holy Empire.

The Holy Empire had finished all preparations to fight the demons in a short span of one week.

‘Since their lives are at stake, the speed of preparation is no joke.’

Jung Minwoo started to look around the Holy Empire with the Demon Communion members.

First, when they looked at the Holy Formation installed in the plaza.

‘Whoa, the inherent Holy Power is no joke.’

It contained an immense amount of Holy Power, enough to inflict damage on demons.

Originally, it should have also caused damage to Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members who were near the Holy Formation, but.

T h i s wa s c o p ie d f r o m k i n g m tl. o r g
‘It was worth adding the clause to the contract.’

Because they had added a clause in the contract stating that the Holy Power could not harm them until the 3rd Rank demons were killed, they could avoid any damage.

“The quality is good for something made by a higher being.”

“Hmm, it wouldn’t be bad to fight a higher being someday if I get the chance.”

“… I think this is enough to kill a demon.”

“Whoa… it’s amazing. Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Demon Communion members also seemed to share Jung Minwoo’s thoughts as they marveled at the Holy Formation.

After finishing their observation, they looked at the paladins lined up nearby.

‘They’re quite strong.’

They gave off a sharp, blade-like feeling.

‘It’s incomparable to goblins.’

Currently, they compared them to the goblins in their personal breeding grounds, but unfortunately, the paladins’ force was overwhelmingly superior, making it impossible to compare.

‘The knights and mages sent from other countries are also excellent.’

Moreover, the knights and mages sent from other countries seemed to have skills comparable to the paladins.

‘That means other countries are also taking the situation seriously.’

T h i s w as co p i e d f rom k in gmt l . o rg
With this many people, it seemed possible to catch the demons.

‘Of course, there will be a lot of casualties.’

After finishing their observation, they were positioned in the plaza when.

Flap

Seina flapped her wings and flew towards them.

“How is everyone doing?”

Jung Minwoo answered with a grin at her question.

“We’re in top shape.”

“That’s good to hear.”

“How are your preparations going?”

“Thanks to the demons not coming right away, we were able to evacuate all the residents and fully prepare for battle.”

Judging from what she said, she seemed quite confident, but.

【Will we be able to kill them with this level of force? What if we can’t?】

Contrary to her words, Seina was extremely worried inwardly.

‘How can her expression and inner thoughts be so different?’

Based on his observations, he could tell she was quite cowardly, but perhaps she was good at managing her expressions, as she never showed a fearful look.

“By the way, when do you think the demons will come?”

Jung Minwoo pondered for a moment at Seina’s question before answering.

“Maybe today, or at the latest, 3 weeks from now. They’ll need time to prepare too.”

“Right? They will come, right?”

Th i s wa s c o p ied fr om k i n g m t l. o r g
“Are you worried they might not come?”

As if hit by a critical point, Seina’s body trembled slightly, and she waved her hands in denial.

“N-no, I’m not worried about that. I was just asking because it seems too quiet.”

【I even gave an oracle, so if they don’t come, it’ll be embarrassing for me!】

Jung Minwoo swallowed a chuckle inwardly and said.

“They’ll come, so don’t worry.”

“R-right.”

“So, stop bothering me with your anxieties and go somewhere else.”

“… Haha, alright.”
T h i s wa s co p i e d f ro m k ing mt l. o r g

Seina gave an awkward laugh and flew towards the other pigeons.

“She’s quite a worrisome pigeon, unlike her appearance.”

“If she’s that cowardly, I don’t know how she’ll handle big things later.”

T h i s w a s c o p i e d fr o m ki n g mt l. o r g
Jung Minwoo agreed with Venus’s words.

“Anyway, everyone remembers the plan, right?”

The Demon Communion members nodded at Jung Minwoo’s question and answered.

“Of course.”

“I’ve got it memorized.”

“… I remember.”

Th i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i n g m t l .o r g
“How could I forget what Minwoo said? Ribbit, ribbit.”

For the past week, Jung Minwoo had relayed the plan he had devised to the Demon Communion members.

‘Since everyone remembers it, there shouldn’t be any mistakes.’

Just as they finished all their preparations and were waiting for the demons.

‘Hmm?’

He could see Demonic Energy flickering beyond the horizon.

“They’re coming!”

At Jung Minwoo’s shout, the Demon Communion members took out their weapons.

“Oh, they’re coming? I need to give an oracle right now!”

Seina panicked for a moment before she started giving an oracle to the higher beings.

Flap

Thud

The two demons, who had flown in at high speed, landed in front of Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members with sinister smiles.

“Hello, young chicks.”

“Did you think we wouldn’t find you if you were here?”

Jung Minwoo smirked at their taunts and retorted provocatively.

“You came all the way here to catch some demons who haven’t even removed their trainee tags? You must be exhausted.”

The provocation worked perfectly, as the two demons frowned deeply.

“Do you have a death wish?”

“Are you out of your mind?”

Jung Minwoo sneered at their threats and replied.

“What? You came here to kill us anyway, so what’s with the death threats? Are you going to spare us if we beg for our lives?”

“…”

The demons couldn’t find anything to retort with at Jung Minwoo’s words and gritted their teeth.

“And that old geezer is so petty. How can he send demons just because I didn’t choose him?”

“Did you just call Baal-nim an old geezer?”

“Do I need to be polite to someone who’s trying to kill me?”

The demons clicked their tongues at Jung Minwoo’s words.

“He’s lost his mind because he’s about to die.”

“No, I think he was never sane to begin with.”

Jung Minwoo continued to provoke them, not caring what they said.

‘Let’s see what kind of unique traits they have.’

He used ‘Heaven’s Eye’ to assess the enemy’s strength.

‘First, I need to check that fat guy.’

He used ‘Heaven’s Eye’ on the large demon.

【Calling up information on ‘Bigkoon’.】

‘Heaven’s Eye’ activated, and a new information window appeared.

『Information Window』

〈Basic Information〉

Name: Bigkoon

Gender: Male

Age: 4,300 years old

〈Detailed Information〉
T h i s w as c opie d f r o m k i n gmt l . o rg

Rank: 3rd Rank

Alignment: Evil

Unique Trait: Demonic Energy Detection

Current Emotion: Anger

‘Demonic Energy Detection? Can he pinpoint the location of those with Demonic Energy?’ Jung Minwoo clicked on the unique trait to check its effect.

【Demonic Energy Detection】

Can pinpoint the location of those with Demonic Energy.

‘It’s the effect I expected.’

T h i s w a s c o p i ed f r o m k i n gm t l. o r g
He had wondered how they found them in this vast land, but seeing the unique trait solved his curiosity.

‘Well, since it’s not a combat-related unique trait, the higher beings should be able to fight him.’

T h is w a s co p i e d f r om k i n g m tl. o r g
Next, Jung Minwoo used ‘Heaven’s Eye’ on the demon next to him.

『Information Window』

〈Basic Information〉

Name: Sssak

Gender: Male

Age: 4,300 years old

Alignment: Evil

Unique Trait: Weapon Transformation

Current Emotion: Anger

‘Weapon Transformation? What kind of unique trait is that?’

【Weapon Transformation】

Can transform into any desired weapon. Strength varies depending on Demonic Energy.

Seeing the unique trait, Jung Minwoo gave a sly smile.

‘This increases our chances of winning even more.’

He wasn’t disregarding the ‘Weapon Transformation’ unique trait, but in the end, it meant that two became one, inevitably weakening their overall strength.

After finishing his observations, he closed the information window.

“Let’s see if you can still run your mouth after you’re dead!”

“Don’t think you’ll die easily!”

The demons, enraged, boosted their Demonic Energy and prepared for battle.

‘I think I’ve stalled enough time.’

He thought that the higher beings would have finished their preparations after stalling for about 10 minutes. At that moment.

“Activate the Holy Formation!!!”

The Pope signaled the start of the battle.

Wooong

A bright light enveloped the Holy Formation engraved on the ground.

“Ugh?!”

“W-what?!”

Fwaaaaaaaaaaaaa

A beam of light shot up from the Holy Formation.

“H-holy…?”

“K-kyaaaaaaaa?!”

The demons groaned in pain, glaring at Jung Minwoo with murderous intent.

“This bastard is working with the pigeons?!”

“Don’t you have any pride as a demon?!”

The demons pointed fingers at Jung Minwoo, calling him cowardly, but.

“Yeah, you guys are more cowardly, coming here to kill demons who haven’t even removed their trainee tags~”

Jung Minwoo made a playful expression, further provoking the demons.

“You son of a b*tch!!”

“You little sh*t!!”

The demons tried to approach Jung Minwoo, but.

“Oh, the demons have revealed themselves! Charge!!!”

“Charge!!!”

The higher beings, confirming the appearance of the demons in the Holy Formation, began their attack, not allowing them to approach Jung Minwoo.

“It’ll be quite a sight to see you die at the hands of higher beings.”

At Jung Minwoo’s sneer, the Demon Communion members chimed in.

“You were too arrogant. Or rather, your heads are so empty that you couldn’t come up with a better plan.”

“Tsk tsk, serves you right, you little punks.”

“… Die.”

“Puhahaha. Are you sure you’re 3rd Rank? Ribbit, ribbit.”

The demons radiated intense killing intent at their mocking words.

“Well, suffer a bit.”

T h i s w as c o p i e d fro m ki ngm t l .o r g
Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members then leisurely walked out of the Holy Formation.
