The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well

Chapter 224: You, Become My Subordinate! (1)

The next day.

Jung Minwoo was seeing off the Demon Communion members in front of the Demon Lord’s Castle.

‘They’re moving quickly.’

He thought they would rest for a while and leave leisurely, but he hadn’t expected them to move right after the party.

‘That means they must have realized the importance of building their forces.’

Jung Minwoo speculated on the reason for the Demon Communion members’ swift actions, and then,

‘But there could be another reason, so should I ask?’

He decided to ask the Demon Communion members for the reason.

“Everyone is moving faster than I thought?”

When he asked the Demon Communion members,

“The sooner we build our forces, the better.”

“It’s better to finish it quickly since we’re doing it anyway, right?”

“……I realized the importance of having forces.”

“I also want to have subordinates quickly, like Minwoo! Ribbit, ribbit.”

They answered, each giving their reasons.

‘As expected, they’re feeling the importance of having forces.’

Hearing the answers, Jung Minwoo realized his prediction was correct.

“I hope you have good results.”

When he gave a short word of encouragement,

“Yes, I’ll return with the best results possible.”

“Results are a given.”

“……Understood.”

“Understood! Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Demon Communion members clenched their fists, showing their determination.

“Then, we’ll be on our way.”

“Don’t cry because you miss Noona.”

“……I’ll be back.”

“Minwoo, I’ll be back soon, so wait for me! Ribbit, ribbit.”

Then they took out their wings from their backs.

Flap—

They soared high into the sky, leaving the Demon Lord’s Castle.

Around the time the figures of the Demon Communion members became smaller and smaller, and could no longer be seen,

“Shall we go inside now?”

Jung Minwoo turned around and entered the Demon Lord’s Castle.

Thud, thud, thud—

As he walked towards his office,

“Great Master.”

The Head Butler approached and spoke to him.

“Yes, what is it?”

“I have found suitable sites for the academy that Great Master ordered.”

“In just a day? That’s fast.”
Th i s w a s c o p ie d f r o m k i n g mt l .or g

Jung Minwoo let out a light exclamation at the Head Butler’s work efficiency, completing the order he had given yesterday in just a day.

“Thank you for the compliment.”

“So, how many suitable sites did you find?”

“4,232.”

“4,232……”

It was a number of sites so vast that he wouldn’t be able to see them all even if he spent a month meticulously looking around, but

‘This is the amount needed to find a decent site.’

Finding a suitable site for the academy was quite demanding, so the more options, the better.

“Let’s go see them right away.”

“Shall I prepare a carriage?”

“No, the carriage is too slow. Let’s move directly.”

“Understood.”

Afterward, Jung Minwoo took care of some simple administrative work and then left the Demon Lord’s Castle with the Head Butler to look around the sites.

Meanwhile, the Demon Communion members who had left the Demon Lord’s Castle,

“It would be good for us to part ways here.”

“Let’s do that.”

“……Alright.”

“Okay! Ribbit, ribbit.”

They were preparing to scatter.

“Everyone remembers, right? We’re meeting at the Demon Lord’s Castle in a month.”

At Venus’s words,

“I know, I know.”

“……I remember.”

“It’s engraved in my mind! Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Demon Communion members nodded their heads, saying they remembered.

One might wonder if making subordinates in a month isn’t too short of a time, but

Not having a single achievement in that period means the method is wrong, so it was reasonable to gather at the Demon Lord’s Castle and discuss a new method.

In other words, the one-month deadline was set to prevent unnecessary waste of time.

“Then, let’s see each other in a month.”

Flap—

As Venus said goodbye and flapped her wings in a different direction,

“……I’ll be on my way too.”

“I hope everyone brings back awesome subordinates! Ribbit, ribbit.”

Flap, flap—

Following that, Elin and Rok also flapped their wings and moved in different directions.

Anubis, who was left alone,

“Alright, shall I move too?”

She took out a map from subspace and moved in the direction written on it.

Flap—

“I wonder how good their fighting abilities are? I’m looking forward to it.”

Anubis felt a slight anticipation for how strong the demons she would meet would be.

“I heard there’s a 1st Rank demon, the same rank as me, so they must be quite strong, right?”

Not only the 1st Rank, but most of the demons in the village were said to be high-ranking, so if she could make them her subordinates, it would be a tremendous increase in power.

“I was getting tired of sparring only with Rok lately, so this is good.”

If they became her subordinates, she could spar with them every day under the guise of training.

After moving quickly for 36 hours without rest,

‘Found it!’

She found a village standing alone in the wilderness.

Looking closer,

‘Oh, judging by the flag, it’s the right place.’

As she had heard, the entrance had a picture symbolizing the village engraved on it.

‘Seeing a sword and an axe drawn, this is definitely the place.’

Anubis, feeling certain that she had come to the right place, folded her wings and landed on the ground.

Thud—
Th i s w a s cop ied f r o m ki n gm t l .o r g

‘Then, shall I go see what kind of guys they are?’

As she was about to enter the village,

“”Halt.””

Two muscular demons walked out, blocking her from entering.

“Oh…… You have quite the muscles.”

She smiled, feeling satisfied with their first impression, which looked like they would enjoy a fight.

“”C-cough. Thanks for the compliment.””

Perhaps flustered by the sudden compliment, the two demons blushed and scratched their heads.

“Thanks for the compliment, but you still can’t enter.”

“Huh? Why can’t I enter?”

Anubis tilted her head, asking why she couldn’t enter.

“Because our village doesn’t allow outsiders.”

One demon kindly explained the reason why she couldn’t enter.

“Then, I can’t enter at all?”

“Not necessarily. There is one way.”

“What is it?”

“Prove your strength.”

“Strength?”

The two demons crossed their arms and put on arrogant expressions, then,

“”Our village values strength, so you can only enter through proof.””

They said the same thing in unison.

“How do I prove it?”

“”It’s simple, defeat us.””

“Hmm……”
T h is w as c o p ie d f r o m k i n g m tl . o r g

Anubis’s eyes sparkled at the proof method she preferred.

“”So, if you don’t want to get hurt, we advise you to go back.””

The two demons suggested she return, but

“No, I’ll prove it.”

There was no way Anubis, a battle maniac, would accept their suggestion.

“”You’ll regret it……””

“Regret is something you feel when you haven’t fought properly.”

“”We like your ideology.””

The two demons adjusted their stances and then,

“”We’ll yield the first attack.””

They beckoned her with their hands, provoking her to attack.

“Really? Okay.”

Anubis readily accepted their consideration and then,

Swoosh—

T h is w as c o p i e d f r o m ki n gmt l. o r g
She took out a greatsword bigger than her body from subspace.

“Then, here I come.”

Whoosh—

“”Hmm?””

As she arrived in front of the two demons in an instant,

“”W-wait!””

The two demons, sensing danger, tried to stop Anubis, but

“Yeah, too late.”

Anubis ignored their words and swung her greatsword.

Slash—!

“”Ugh?!””
T h is was cop ie d f r om ki n g m tl .o rg

Thi s w as c o p i ed f r o m ki n g m t l . or g
The two demons tried to block the attack by raising their arms, but

Clang—!

Their gauntlets shattered and they were sent flying far away.

Crash—

“What? Your muscles are just for show? Why are you flying away so weakly?”

Anubis couldn’t hide her disappointment at the weak demons and stepped into the village.

Step, step, step—

And when she reached what seemed to be the village square,

Clang, clang, clang, clang—

“Hup!”

“Hah!”

“Kyah!”

She could see nearly 500 demons training, each wielding their weapons.

‘Oh, this is good.’

Just by glancing at the demonic energy flowing out, they seemed to be quite high-ranking.

‘They seem to be of a higher level than the guards.’

Anubis, thinking she had done well to come here, stepped into the square.

Halt—

The demons who were training stopped their actions and all looked at Anubis at once.

‘Their eyes are good.’
T h i s w as c o pi e d fro m k i ng m t l . o rg

Smirk—

Anubis smiled brightly and then,

“Hey, all of you, become my subordinates!!”

She shouted boldly at the demons to become her subordinates.

They could have laughed at her absurd proposal, but

“You seem quite strong.”

“It’s been years since someone came here like this. 100 years?”

“This outsider is making a straightforward proposal.”

The demons reacted calmly, as if this kind of thing had happened many times before.

“The opportunity to become my subordinate doesn’t come often. You’ll regret missing this chance.”

As Anubis was trying to do some self-promotion,

Thump, thump, thump—

‘Hmm?’

The ground began to shake and vibrate.
Th i s w as c o p i e d f r o m kin g mt l .o r g

‘What is this?’

Feeling puzzled by the sudden vibration, she shifted her gaze to what she presumed was the source of the vibration.

‘Is the ground shaking because of that guy?’

She could see a giant demon approaching.

Judging by his size, he was at least 5 meters tall.

As if confirming that he was the source of the vibration, the ground shook every time the giant demon took a step.

“……You seem quite strong.”

Anubis showed her fighting spirit upon seeing him.

“Thanks for the compliment.”

The giant demon also showed his fighting spirit as he looked at Anubis.

“First, let me introduce myself. I’m the Village Head who manages this village.”

“Village Head?”

“Yes, it’s a position that can only be obtained by the strongest.”

“Hmm, is that so?”

At the words ‘the strongest’, Anubis felt satisfied that her eyes hadn’t been wrong.

“You have to subdue all the residents, including the previous Village Head, by yourself to be granted the position of Village Head.”

“So, what are you trying to say?”

“In other words, if you want to make us your subordinates, defeat us all.”

“Why beat around the bush for such a simple thing?”

She had been worried about having to explain her vision and what benefits there were, but fortunately, they had suggested the method she was most confident in.

‘It’s the easiest method in the world for me.’

Just by defeating them, she could gain subordinates?

This was practically a method tailored for Anubis.

“Then, shall we fight right away?”

“I was hoping you’d say that.”

This w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i n g m t l . o rg
Anubis decided to go all out from the start and immediately used her unique trait.

Flex—

Muscles bulged from her body as blood vessels popped out, and

Swoosh—

Her clear eyes became bloodshot, creating an eerie atmosphere.

Rustle—

Finally, when her gray hair was dyed red as if it were soaked in blood,

Boom—!

Demonic energy began to surge explosively from Anubis’s body.

“Come at me.”

She beckoned with her finger, telling the giant demon to attack her.

“As expected, I thought you were unusual, but you’re definitely the strongest among all the outsiders so far.”

The giant demon also used his unique trait, revealing his strength.

Flare—

His body was enveloped in demonic energy, and

Bzzt—

His entire body turned into black diamond.

“No one has ever been able to injure my body.”

“Is that so? Then I’ll be the first one to injure you.”

“We’ll see about that.”

The giant demon smirked and then,
T h is w a s cop i ed f ro m k in g m t l. o r g

“What’s your name?”

He asked Anubis her name.

“Anubis, and you?”

“‘Shuman’.”

After they finished their brief introductions,

“Now that we know each other’s names, shall we begin?”

“Let’s.”

Kaboom—!

Anubis and Shuman began to clash.
