The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 59

Chapter 59: Downfall (5)

Jung Minwoo had been planning to invade the Holy Empire from the moment he approached the pigeons.

It was only natural, since even if he dealt with the 3rd Rank demons, there was a high probability that other demons would come looking for him unless he removed his probationary status.

‘It went well according to plan.’

He had worried about what would happen if his strategy went awry, but his worries were for nothing as the plan went perfectly.

‘And there’s nothing more exhilarating than when a plan is executed properly.’

It was like… a feeling of catharsis.

‘It won’t be long until I get rid of this probationary status.’

Even though things went according to plan, it was not good to be careless, so Jung Minwoo intended to handle everything perfectly until the very end.

“How does it feel to watch the empire you built crumble?”

He asked Seina with a sneer, gauging her mood.

“…You bastard!”

Seina’s body trembled with rage as she raised her mace, but…

“That’s enough rampaging like a monster.”

“If you move one step closer, I’ll cut off your head.”

Venus and Anubis warned her, aiming their weapons.

“…”

Seina groaned and had no choice but to lower her weapon.

‘I might have had a chance before… but I can’t beat them now.’

Before, when she killed demons, the faith of higher beings soared, granting her several times more Holy Power. But now, due to the surprise attack by the Demon Servants and monsters, the faith of higher beings had plummeted, drastically reducing her Holy Power.

‘…If I attack, I’ll die.’

In other words, no matter what method she used, she couldn’t kill the demons in front of her.

“You… Did you intend to do this from the beginning?”

To Seina’s question, Jung Minwoo replied with gleaming eyes.

“Didn’t I tell you from the start?”

“…”

“That I hate losing my bread and butter.”

Shuddering at Jung Minwoo’s madness, Seina asked another question.

“…What are you going to do with me?”

“Hmm, what would be best?”

“…Are you going to kill me?”

Jung Minwoo wagged his index finger at her question.

“No, I’m not barbaric like you, so I won’t kill you.”

“…If you’re not going to kill me, what’s your plan?”

“Well, what could it be? Want to guess?”

He followed up with a sly look at Seina.

“…”

Seina suddenly blushed and shouted.

“You, you’re trying to covet my body!”

“Huh?”

“Even if you covet my body, I will never fall to you!”

Jung Minwoo burst into laughter at the unexpected statement.

‘How did the conversation even get to that point?’

It was as if a lustful demon had taken over her mind.

Jung Minwoo was about to correct Seina’s thoughts when…

“As expected from a vulgar bitch. Your level of thinking is truly low-class.”

Venus spoke with a contemptuous look at Seina.

‘…Could Venus be this harsh?’

Jung Minwoo was surprised by Venus’s aggressive tone but didn’t show it. Instead, he said to Seina,

“It seems you have a deep misunderstanding… But I’m too lazy to explain, so let’s just enjoy the fall of the Holy Empire together for now.”

“…”

Seina, as if aware of her embarrassment, just blushed and lowered her head.

As they watched the fight outside the window…

Thud, thud, thud.

About 500 Paladins and priests walked out of the castle.

‘They’re not in good shape.’

From limping to missing limbs, their injuries seemed quite severe.

‘They won’t be able to stop my kids in that state.’

To Jung Minwoo, the outcome was clear, but Seina seemed to think differently, her eyes shining as she looked at the Paladins and priests.

“You’re the one. The one who invaded the Holy Empire.”

The Paladin at the front growled, glaring at William.

“Invasion, huh…”

William stroked his chin, repeating the word, then said,

Th is wa s c o p i e d fr o m k i n g m t l .o r g
“The brainwashing must be messing with your head. You’re talking nonsense.”
T h is wa s co p i e d f ro m k i n g m t l .or g

He spoke with a puzzled expression.

“…What?”

“You were the ones who attacked our Demon Lord first, and you call it an invasion… If you weren’t brainwashed, you wouldn’t be spouting such bullshit.”

“…What the hell are you talking about?”

“As expected, you’re brainwashed, so you can’t understand.”

“What, bullshit. You’re the ones who are brainwashed!!”

At the Paladin’s shout, William chuckled and said to Sebastian,

“He says we are.”

T his w a s co p ied f r o m king m t l .o r g
Sebastian adjusted his glasses and replied,

“They’re deeply brainwashed. They think they’re in the right.”

“Can you undo the brainwashing?”

“Why undo it?”

“To let them know how foolish they’ve been.”

“That’s impossible. The brainwashing is too deeply rooted. There’s no way to undo it except death.”

After hearing Sebastian’s explanation, William gathered demonic energy in his right hand and said,

“I was going to let them atone and die, but unfortunately, that’s not possible.”

“…”

The Paladin’s eyes twitched as he drew his sword.

“…I agree. I was going to just cut off their limbs and let them live since they’re still young, but after hearing that, they’re not worth saving.”

500 versus 30.

Looking at the numbers alone, William’s side seemed disadvantaged.

‘But considering the Paladins and priests aren’t in good condition, even 30 should be enough to take care of them.’

Even if their bodies were in perfect condition, Jung Minwoo would have bet on the Demon Servants winning.

‘Their faith is gone.’

They might deny it, but their faith in the angels had been subtly broken by the invasion, and they wouldn’t be able to exert their full power.

Just as the fight was about to break out…

“Hyung.”

Sebastian grabbed William’s shoulder and spoke.

“Why?”

“Do we really need to fight?”

“What do you mean?”

“Analysis shows a 99% chance of us winning, but a 32% chance of getting hurt. So, how about using the goblins to take care of them?”

“That makes sense.”

William didn’t want the children to get hurt, so he nodded and gave the order to the goblins.

“Kill them.”

“””Kieeek!”””

The nearby goblins started rushing towards the Paladins and priests.

“Y-You cowards!”

The leading Paladin criticized William for his cowardly act, but…

“What are you talking about? You’re the ones who attacked our Demon Lord with 2 million men.”

William scoffed and stepped back.

“Repent for attacking our Demon Lord as you die.”

The Paladin tried to say something, but…

“Attack!”

He couldn’t continue as the goblins swarmed him.

At first, it seemed like they were holding their own against the goblins, but…

“””Kieeek!!”””

Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab—!

They couldn’t withstand the overwhelming numbers and violence, falling to their knees.

“N-No!!!”

Seina let out a pitiful scream as she watched.

“It’s over.”

Jung Minwoo gave a satisfied smile and looked away.

‘With this, their Holy Power must have hit rock bottom, if not completely vanished.’

In their current state, even the Demon Communion members could subdue them without difficulty.

“Look at me.”

“Mmm!”
T hi s wa s co p i e d f r o m ki n g m t l .or g

Jung Minwoo grabbed Seina’s face and met her eyes.

And as he was about to copy her Unique Trait…

Creak—

“Reporting back… Seina-nim?”

“S-Seina-nim!!”

The pigeons entered the room.

“Y-You guys?”

Seina felt a glimmer of hope that the children might save her, but…

“I don’t need you.”

Swoosh—!

At Jung Minwoo’s words, Rok and Elin stepped forward and cut off the pigeons’ heads.

“Y-You guys!!!”

Seina tried to move towards the pigeons, but…

Th i s wa s c o p i ed fr o m k i ng mt l . o r g
“Stay put.”

“Do you want to die?”

Blocked by Venus and Anubis, she could only collapse to the floor.

‘Now that the nuisance is dealt with, shall we continue?’

As he thought about copying the Unique Trait…

【Which demon’s Unique Trait would you like to copy?】

1. No. 2

2. No. 555

3. No. 777

4. No. 888

5. Venus

A message window appeared before his eyes.

‘I’ll copy Venus’s Unique Trait.’

T h i s wa s c o p i e d f r o m king m t l . o rg
【Copying Venus’s Unique Trait ‘Charm’】

After finishing the copying, Jung Minwoo used the Unique Trait on Seina and said,

“From now on, you will live as my servant. You will obey me.”

“Ugh, do you think I’ll do as you say…?”

At first, she showed strong resistance.

“I’ll say it again. Pledge your loyalty and obedience to me. Then I’ll give you a chance to live as my servant.”

“…A chance?”

But Seina’s eyes slowly glazed over…

“Will you submit to me?”

Jung Minwoo’s words started to sound sweet to her ears.

‘…Why, why does his voice sound so sweet?’

Not only that, but his face, which she had found contemptible, now seemed sexy, and she felt a conflicting urge to lean against his toned muscles, visible even through his suit.

‘…Maybe submitting wouldn’t be so bad?’

The thought of devoting everything to such a man crossed her mind.

“If you become my servant, you can be free from the oppression that weighs you down.”

“…Yes, Master.”

In the end, Seina fell to Jung Minwoo, pledging her loyalty.

“Good girl.”

As he patted her head affectionately…

“Heehee.”

Seina squirmed, her face filled with ecstasy.

“Then, shall we draw up the contract?”

“It’s an honor, Master.”

Thus, Jung Minwoo succeeded in turning the pigeon into his puppet.

‘She’ll be quite useful in the future.’

As they finished writing the contract…

“…Huh? Master, my body…?”

Seina’s wings started to turn black.

‘She’s being corrupted.’

Having submitted to a demon and signed a contract, it was natural for her to be corrupted.

However, her value lay in being a pigeon, so Jung Minwoo had no intention of letting her fall like this.

‘Then, shall we stop the corruption?’

Jung Minwoo used his ‘Demon Eye’ to cast a debuff on her.

“You will forget this. This contract with me. You can just think that you were tricked by me and the Holy Empire fell as a result. You were never corrupted.”

He whispered into her ear.

“I, I was never corrupted.”

Her wings, which had been turning black, started to return to their pure white color.

Th i s w a s co pi ed f r o m ki n g m tl . o r g
‘As expected, it worked.’

Jung Minwoo smiled with satisfaction at having stopped the corruption.

“Oh my, how did you stop the corruption?”

Venus asked, and Jung Minwoo shrugged.

“It’s nothing special. I just erased her memories with oblivion.”

T h i s w as c op i e d f r om ki ng m t l .o r g
He had erased the very memory of her corruption with oblivion.

“That’s a very useful method.”

Venus let out a small exclamation of admiration.

“Oh, this could be useful in the Celestial Realm too.”

“…So this is why you kept her alive.”

“As expected of Minwoo! Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Demon Communion members, who had been watching from behind, chimed in with admiration.

“Since the contract is signed, I can use her when I need her and then throw her away.”

One might wonder what he would use a pigeon for…

‘I can use her when invading other planets, there are many ways.’

There were surprisingly many uses for her.

‘I can think about how to use her later.’

Jung Minwoo turned to the Demon Communion members and said,

“Now that the corruption is dealt with, shall we go get rid of our probationary status?”

The Demon Communion members nodded excitedly.

“Sounds good.”

“…Let’s go quickly.”

“Let’s finish it quickly. I want to go back and rest.”

“Now, we become true demons! Ribbit, ribbit.”

Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members then headed towards William to put the finishing touches on their plan.
