The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 79

Chapter 79: Special Planet (2)

Now that the planet to invade had been decided, Jung Minwoo wanted to head straight to ‘Dainik’ planet, but…

‘I should make some preparations first.’

He had to investigate the planet and discuss how to invade it.

‘If I go without deciding anything, I’ll get beaten up.’

Jung Minwoo got up from his seat and spoke to the Demon Communion members.

“Now that we’ve decided on the planet, let’s move to the office.”

“Okay.”

The Demon Communion members also knew how important preparation was, so they got up from their seats without a word.

As soon as they arrived at the office, Jung Minwoo assigned each Demon Communion member their tasks.

“Venus, please investigate the size of the planet.”

“Leave it to me.”

“Elin, please find countries that haven’t been invaded.”

“…Yes, I understand.”

“Rok, check if there are any corrupt places among the occupied countries.”

“Leave it to me! Ribbit, ribbit.”

As everyone sat at their desks and started working…

“What about me, what about me?”

Anubis, with sparkling eyes, asked what task she should do.

“Anubis, you…”

“Yes, yes!”

“Let’s spar once.”

“Wow, that’s great.”

T h is w a s co p i e d f r om k i n gm tl.o r g
Anubis was visibly excited, as if she hadn’t expected sparring.

“Sparring all of a sudden?”

Venus, who was working, tilted her head and expressed her question.

“I’ve been able to copy unique traits since I built a bond with Lucifer.”

“Oh my, really?”

“So, I thought I should check it now because I might not be able to do it later.”

“Well, it would be troublesome if we used it on the planet and the pigeons found out.”

Originally, he hadn’t planned to check because of the time crunch, but he changed his mind after seeing that there were many pigeons on ‘Dainik’ planet.

‘With over 1,000 of them, it wouldn’t be strange if a fight broke out at some point.’

For that reason, Jung Minwoo was trying to confirm the unique traits through Anubis before invading the planet.

“Let’s go quickly, quickly!”

Anubis seemed quite excited, as if she was happy to spar after a long time.

“Okay, let’s go.”

Leaving a message that they would be back, Jung Minwoo headed to the training ground within the Demon Lord’s Castle with Anubis.

As they arrived at the training ground…

“This is my first time sparring with Minwoo.”

Anubis smiled brightly and pulled out a huge greatsword from the subspace.

‘Should I get ready too?’

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

6. Lucifer

A message window appeared before his eyes.

‘I’ll copy Lucifer’s unique trait.’

【Copying Lucifer’s unique trait ‘Pride’.】

Along with the message window saying that the unique trait was being copied…

【Due to the nature of the ‘Pride’ unique trait, you must set a person you acknowledge. Who would you like to set?】

T hi s w a s c o pie d f ro m k in g mt l .o rg
Another message window appeared.

T hi s w a s c o p i ed f r o m k in g m t l . o r g
‘Set a person I acknowledge?’

Jung Minwoo thought for a moment, but…

T h i s wa s c o p ie d f r o m king m tl . o r g
‘I should set it to the strongest in the Demon World. Masin.’

After a brief thought, he set the person he acknowledged.

【Setting a divine being is not possible. Please set another person.】

However, another message window appeared, saying that divine beings were not applicable.

‘Then, I’ll set it to Satan.’

When he said he would set it to the Demon Lord…

【Setting the acknowledged person to ‘Satan’.】

At the same time as the message window saying it was set appeared…

Thump―!

“…Huh?”

An indescribable power began to surge from his body.

‘Is the effect this good…?’

It showed an effect several times better than Anubis’s unique trait ‘Awakening’.

‘My body is tingling!’

Having finished all his preparations, Jung Minwoo looked at Anubis and said.

“You can attack now.”

“Really?”

Kwa―――ang!

As if she had been waiting for those words, Anubis began to rush towards Jung Minwoo at high speed.

“Let’s see how good the unique trait is.”

Anubis, who reached close range in an instant, swung her greatsword without hesitation.

T h is w a s c op i ed f ro m k i ngmt l . or g
Kwa――――ang!

A tremendous explosion.

Th i s w a s c opi e d f ro m k i n g m tl . o rg
It was a destructive power that could break any part of his body if he was hit, but…

“Hmm?”

Jung Minwoo showed a relaxed smile and blocked the attack with just two fingers.

“Whoa… You blocked it with two fingers?”

Anubis’s eyes sparkled, and she sheathed her greatsword and stepped back.

“Then, should I get serious too?”

Blood vessels began to pop out on her body, and…

“Kuh, it’s been a while since I used my unique trait.”

Her gray hair turned red.

‘She’s gotten stronger than before.’

Jung Minwoo could tell through his Demon Eye that she had grown several times stronger than before.

“Then, here I go!!!”

Pa―pat!

Her figure blurred and disappeared from her spot, then…

Swoosh―――eak!

Anubis, who had appeared behind him, swung her greatsword imbued with demonic energy.

Normally, he would have had to surround his body with shadows to block the attack, but…

Kwa―――――ang!

“…Huh?”

Now, using Lucifer’s unique trait ‘Pride’, three fingers were enough to block her full power.

“You blocked it with three fingers…?”

Anubis’s eyes shook uncontrollably, as if she couldn’t believe it.

‘It’s no wonder she’s surprised.’

Although her rank was 7th, she was specialized in combat, so she could easily defeat most demons of lower ranks.

‘Then, let’s see how strong her attack power is.’

Jung Minwoo brought his thumb and index finger together and placed them on her forehead, then…

Flick―――――!

He flicked her forehead.

“…Gah?”

Clang―

Thud―

The protective barrier surrounding her shattered, and she began to roll on the floor.

“…”

He knew her attack power would be quite strong because her strength had increased several times, but he hadn’t imagined that the spar would end with a single flick.

“Anubis, are you okay?”

At Jung Minwoo’s question, Anubis covered her forehead and said.

“…Huh, that unique trait is really broken.”

Seeing that, Jung Minwoo smiled wryly and approached her.

“Can you get up?”

He extended his hand to Anubis.

“Of course I can get up.”

She took his hand and got up from her spot.

‘I hope she’s not too shocked.’

He was worried that Anubis, a battle maniac, would become dejected after being defeated with a single attack.
T his w a s c o p ie d f ro m k in g m t l . o r g

“I need to get stronger!”

Contrary to his worries, Anubis’s eyes sparkled, and she raised both arms in the air, expressing her determination.

‘She’s recovering quickly.’

As expected, a battle maniac’s mentality was completely different from other demons.

‘That’s a relief.’

Jung Minwoo breathed a sigh of relief inwardly and said.

“Now that we’ve confirmed it, shall we go back to the office?”

“Huh? Already? Can’t we spar a little more?”

Anubis pouted, looking disappointed, but…

“We’ve finished checking, so you need to help me with work now.”

“Tsk, okay.”

Persuaded by Jung Minwoo, Anubis reluctantly nodded and left the training ground.

As they entered the office…

“You’re back?”

Venus and the Demon Communion members were sitting at a long desk, waiting for him and Anubis.

“Is the investigation already finished?”

At Jung Minwoo’s question, Venus smiled brightly and answered.

“Yes, I was able to finish it faster than expected because I’ve done it before.”

He glanced at the desk.

T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r om k i n g m t l . o r g
‘Looks like she did a thorough investigation.’

He could see documents neatly organized on the top seat.

“Good work.”

Jung Minwoo expressed his gratitude and sat down.

“Then, I’ll give you a report first.”

Venus began to brief him on the results of her investigation.

“After investigating the size of the planet, we found that it’s 10 times larger than ‘Yurain’ planet.”

“…10 times?”

He had thought it would be at least similar in size to Yurain planet, but it was 10 times larger?

‘Considering that Earth is the same size as Yurain planet… How big is Dainik planet?’

Th is w a s c opied f r o m k in g m t l. o r g
Also, although the pigeons had occupied 9/10 of the planet, it meant that they hadn’t yet invaded a landmass the size of Earth.

‘This might be easier than I thought.’

If it was a landmass the size of Earth, it would be easy to avoid the pigeons’ eyes.

“The exact size is written in the documents, so you can refer to it.”

“Thank you.”

After Venus finished her report and sat down…

“…Is it my turn?”

Elin stood up from her seat.

“…As you can see from the documents I left, there are quite a lot of countries that haven’t been invaded.”

“Well, it’s only natural since a landmass the size of Yurain planet hasn’t been invaded.”

Jung Minwoo nodded in agreement.

“…That’s one reason, but another reason is that the uninvaded countries have strong national power.”

“Strong national power?”

“…Yes, they’re strong enough to rival the empires that have been occupied.”

“That’s good news.”

“…And the fact that they’re traditional countries also plays a part.”

“Deeply rooted traditions?”

Elin mentioned the page of the document and continued her explanation.

“…If you look, there are many countries with a strong tradition of worshipping their rulers.”

At her explanation, Jung Minwoo immediately understood.
T his w a s c o pi e d f r om k in g mt l . o rg

‘There are countries like that.’

There were often cases where rulers deified themselves to govern, so they wouldn’t allow the pigeons’ doctrines to enter their countries, as it would shake the people’s faith.

‘Since they worship their rulers, there’s no room for the pigeons to intervene.’

The pigeons needed a vague condition called faith to be met, so they wouldn’t be able to occupy those countries easily.

‘And they can’t conquer the countries by force and preach their doctrines because they’re outmatched in national power.’

Jung Minwoo thought that the pigeons must be having a hard time with this issue.

“Thank you, I understand.”

“…Yes.”

After Elin finished her report and sat down…

“Hehe, is it my turn now? Ribbit, ribbit.”

Rok stood up from his seat with a confident expression.

‘He seems quite confident.’

Jung Minwoo looked forward to what kind of report Rok would give and turned his gaze towards the desk to see the documents Rok had left, but…

‘Hmm? Where are the documents?’

No matter how hard he looked, he couldn’t find the documents Rok should have left on the desk.

“Rok, where did you put the documents?”

At Jung Minwoo’s question, Rok answered with a meaningful smile.

“I didn’t leave the documents because I don’t think they’ll be necessary. Ribbit, ribbit.”

“…You don’t think they’ll be necessary?”

“Yes, because all the countries occupied by the pigeons are corrupt! Ribbit, ribbit.”

Rok’s explanation made him realize why he hadn’t left the documents.

‘Isn’t it a bit too much to say they’re all corrupt…?’

He wondered if the investigation had been done properly since all the countries were corrupt, but…

‘Well, they can’t impose any sanctions on higher beings with faith.’

He soon realized that it was possible, considering the pigeons’ methods.

Demons could impose sanctions on Demon Servants, but pigeons couldn’t.

Also, just because someone had strong faith didn’t mean they were clean, so it was separate from corruption.

‘If they’re corrupt, it’ll be easier to corrupt them.’

If a country was corrupt, victims would inevitably emerge, and he could easily corrupt them by taking advantage of that.

‘This is a gold mine!’

Contrary to his expectations, it seemed like invading ‘Dainik’ planet would be very easy.
