Chapter 251
Chapter 251: Wedding (1)
After enjoying a meal of sashimi made from sea monsters, Jung Minwoo returned to the Demon Lord’s Castle with Satan.
Upon arriving at the castle,
“You’re back?”
“Did you arrive?”
“……I’m glad you’re not injured.”
“Ribbit, ribbit.”
T h i s w a s c o p ie d f ro m k in g m t l . or g
“Welcome back.”
The Jungsin Cult members and Sayori greeted them, happy to see them safe and sound.
T his wa s c op i e d f r om k i n g m t l . or g
“We’re back.”
Jung Minwoo also waved back, acknowledging their greetings.
“What? Your energy has grown tremendously?”
Anubis suddenly approached him, scanning his body.
“You’ve reached the 30th rank?”
She expressed her amazement at his increased power.
“That’s right.”
He smiled, confirming that he had indeed reached the 30th rank.
“Minwoo-nim, congratulations.”
“Wow, that’s amazing!”
“……Congratulations.”
“Damn, I believed in you! Ribbit, ribbit.”
“Hehe, I knew you would reach the 30th rank without any problems.”
The Jungsin Cult members and Sayori showered him with congratulatory messages.
“Shall we see how much stronger you’ve become?”
Anubis demanded they move to the training room and spar immediately, but
“Let’s do that later. I’m a bit busy right now.”
Unfortunately, he had many things to attend to and couldn’t indulge her request.
“Really? Then, there’s nothing we can do……”
He conveyed his refusal, and Anubis, with a face full of longing, reluctantly nodded.
“Well then, shall we all go to the office?”
They moved to the office, and
“The wedding is in a week. How do you feel about me taking you as my wives?”
Jung Minwoo got straight to the point without any preamble.
At his words about taking them as wives,
“Y-yes, I like it.”
Venus blushed, replying softly.
“……Yes.”
Elin lowered her head, expressing her agreement.
“I was wondering when you would say that.”
Sayori, her face flushed with excitement, responded positively.
“You’ve all agreed, so let’s proceed.”
Jung Minwoo looked at Venus, Elin, and Sayori.
“I will take you as my companions. Do you consent?”
Infusing his voice with demonic energy, he proposed to them.
“””We consent.”””
The moment Venus, Elin, and Sayori answered in agreement,
【You have taken three demons as your wives】
【The three wives have been granted the rank and power equivalent to the 30th Demon Lord】
A message window appeared before his eyes.
Fwoosh—
Venus, Elin, and Sayori were enveloped in demonic energy.
T h is wa s c o p i e d fr o m k i n g m t l .o r g
As Venus was engulfed in demonic energy,
‘Th-this power……!’
She felt a mixture of pleasure and pain as a tremendous amount of demonic energy surged into her body.
The rapid increase in power brought pleasure, but the sheer volume of demonic energy was overwhelming.
‘I must absorb it all!’
Venus focused her mind, determined to absorb every bit of demonic energy.
Time passed, and she finally managed to absorb it all.
【You have become the wife of the 30th ranked Demon Lord. You have been granted the rank of ‘Wife’ and possess the same power as the 30th ranked Demon Lord】
A message window appeared before her.
‘Is this…… the power of the 30th ranked Demon Lord?’
Venus felt the overflowing power within her, letting out a soft sigh of wonder.
【Your unique trait has been enhanced due to becoming the wife of the 30th ranked Demon Lord】
As if that wasn’t enough, another message window popped up.
‘Enhanced? How will it be enhanced?’
Anticipation filled her as she waited to see how her unique trait would change.
【Charm (魅惑)】
— Seduce your opponent using demonic energy. Can be used on any race or gender, and the effect doubles when the target harbors personal feelings for the caster.
— You can steal the target’s demonic energy.
— When used on an Angel, you can convert their Holy Power into demonic energy and steal it.
Information about her enhanced unique trait appeared.
‘……Amazing.’
Venus couldn’t help but feel astonished as she saw the effects.
‘It’s gotten so much better!’
Some might argue that the effect looked the same as before, but
‘The phrase ‘a certain amount’ and the restriction of the target’s rank being lower than the caster’s have disappeared.’
Looking closely, she realized that the phrases that limited the power of her ability were gone.
‘And a new effect has been added to the last line.’
As there weren’t many opportunities to steal demonic energy from other demons, she was more pleased with the newly added effect.
‘This way, I can increase my power quickly.’
She could acquire more demonic energy than others by stealing the Holy Power of the “pigeons” and then killing them, which would grant her additional rewards as achievements.
‘I’ll have to go to the battlefield and diligently hunt pigeons from now on.’
Feeling satisfied, Venus closed the message window.
‘I wonder if the others are done?’
She turned her gaze towards Elin, who was sitting next to her.
“Huh……?”
Contrary to her expectation of seeing Elin, a completely different woman sat in her place.
‘Who is this?’
She wanted to speak, but she couldn’t bring herself to do so as the woman sat with her eyes closed.
Venus calmed her surprised heart and carefully examined the woman’s face.
Blue hair, a cute yet elegant appearance.
And a familiar black dress.
‘E-Elin?’
It dawned on her that this woman was indeed Elin.
Elin, who had the appearance of a young girl, had suddenly transformed into a lady, making her unrecognizable.
“……Venus, why?”
The woman, or rather, Elin, opened her eyes and asked why she was staring at her.
“Uh…… Elin-nim, your appearance has changed.”
“……My appearance? Now that you mention it, my voice does sound a bit more mature.”
Elin seemed to notice the change belatedly, touching her neck and tilting her head.
“Minwoo, is there a mirror here?”
She asked Jung Minwoo for a mirror.
Th i s wa s co p i e d f r om k i n g m t l . or g
“Huh? A mirror? Just a moment.”
He excused himself and returned with a small hand mirror.
“Here.”
“……Thank you.”
Elin received the mirror from Jung Minwoo and examined her reflection.
“……Huh?”
Her eyes widened in surprise at her changed appearance, and she let out a gasp.
“……Is this me?”
Elin turned her head, meticulously inspecting her face.
“……I’ve become an adult.”
She smiled with satisfaction.
“……Minwoo.”
“Yes?”
She handed the mirror back to Jung Minwoo.
T his w as co p i e d fr o m ki n g m t l .o rg
“……How do I look now?”
She asked for his honest opinion on her changed appearance.
“How do you look……?”
“……Yes, honestly.”
“You’re cute and beautiful.”
“……That’s a relief.”
Elin smiled shyly, pleased with his answer.
Meanwhile, Venus, who had been observing the situation, thought,
‘She’s so beautiful, it surprised me……’
She sensed the emergence of a new rival.
You might wonder if Elin wasn’t already a rival, but
‘She wasn’t Minwoo-nim’s type.’
Before her transformation, Jung Minwoo treated Elin like a cute younger sister, so their position as rivals was unclear.
‘Now, things have changed with her growing into a lady.’
Normally, she should feel anxious or displeased by the appearance of a new competitor, but
‘Thank goodness.’
Far from feeling such emotions, Venus actually felt relieved.
This was because she knew Elin was as sincere as she was.
‘Anyway, I wonder how everyone’s unique traits have been enhanced?’
She had forgotten to ask about their unique traits because she was so preoccupied with Elin’s changed appearance.
‘I should ask them.’
Since everyone present shared their secrets with each other, it wouldn’t be a problem to ask.
Just as she was about to ask Elin and Sayori,
“Has everyone’s unique trait been enhanced?”
Jung Minwoo brought up the topic of their unique traits.
“Yes, it has been enhanced.”
Venus answered first.
“……Yes, it has.”
“Yes, mine has been enhanced as well.”
Elin and Sayori followed suit.
“Can you explain how they changed?”
At his continued questioning,
“Well, my enhancement is……”
Venus began to explain, followed by
Elin and Sayori, who took turns describing their enhanced unique traits.
After listening to Venus’ explanation about her unique trait, Jung Minwoo thought,
‘She’ll be a great asset.’
He was pleased that her ability was enhanced to be specialized in combat.
‘She can steal power from both demons and pigeons, so she will grow stronger quickly.’
If she frequently participated in battles, she would surely achieve rapid growth.
After Venus’ explanation ended,
“……Is it my turn?”
Elin, sitting beside him, spoke up.
“……No new effect has been added, but the existing one has been enhanced.”
【Elemental Affinity (元素親和)】
— You can control all elements using demonic energy. When manipulating existing elements in the surroundings, you can manifest them without using demonic energy, and the power of the elements is also amplified.
‘What? She can manipulate existing elements without using demonic energy?’
While previously she used demonic energy even when manipulating existing elements, she could now do so without using any demonic energy at all.
‘……That’s completely broken!’
Not needing to use demonic energy meant she could continuously unleash her power, making it almost impossible for her to lose.
T h i s w as cop i e d f r o m kin g m t l . o rg
‘Elements exist everywhere.’
Unless there was an overwhelming difference in power, no one could defeat Elin.
‘I’m looking forward to her future.’
He was eager to see how she would perform on the battlefield.
T h is w a s c op ie d f r o m k i ng mt l .or g
“Now it’s my turn to explain my unique trait, right?”
Finally, Sayori smiled confidently and began to speak.
【Massacre (虐殺)】
— Your physical abilities are enhanced depending on the amount of demonic energy you use.
— Your physical abilities are continuously enhanced as you kill living beings.
— For every 10 lives you take, your physical abilities are further enhanced.
‘Her ability is a replica of Anubis’.’
The first effect was exactly the same, and the second one only differed in the condition.
‘But Sayori has a new effect added at the end.’
For every 10 lives she took, her physical abilities would be further enhanced.
‘It’s an effect truly fitting for Massacre.’
It seemed like no one could stop her once the conditions were met.
‘Considering the large number of individuals on a battlefield, it’s not difficult to fulfill the condition.’
After hearing about all the unique traits,
‘I want to spar with them.’
He felt a competitive urge to spar with them.
Th i s w a s co p i e d fro m k i ng m tl .o r g
‘No…… Let’s spar later.’
He desperately wanted to spar right away, but he couldn’t because they still had things to discuss.
‘After we’re done, we have to prepare for the wedding, so I guess sparring will have to wait until after the ceremony.’
Finishing his thoughts,
“I’m glad everyone’s unique trait has been enhanced so well.”
He congratulated Venus, Elin, and Sayori.
“It’s all thanks to Minwoo-nim.”
Th i s w a s c o pi e d f r o m k i n gm t l. or g
“……I’m rather thankful to you.”
“Hehe, it’s all thanks to your help, Minwoo-nim.”
T h i s w as c o p ie d f r om k i n g m t l . o r g
They responded humbly.
“Before we discuss the wedding preparations, would it be alright if we talked about Anubis, Rok, and Aold first?”
“That’s fine.”
Since the topic about them seemed like it would take a while, it seemed better to finish that first before moving on to the wedding-related discussions.
‘Now then, shall I explain the plan I have in mind?’
Jung Minwoo began to explain his carefully crafted plan.
