As soon as he entered the dining room,

“Did everyone get a good rest?”
Jung Minwoo naturally sat at the head of the table.
And Venus, as if it were natural, sat next to him.
“Hoo, I had a heated spar rather than resting. This Rok guy is actually quite good at fighting.”
At Anubis’s words, Rok scratched his head and said,
“Ah, no. I just kept getting hit by Anubis. Ribbit, ribbit.”
“That’s what’s amazing! How can you get hit so much and not collapse?”
She sincerely seemed to admire him, giving Rok a thumbs-up.
“What about Elin?”
T h is w a s c o p ie d fr om ki n g m t l . o r g
“…I slept soundly in the lounge.”
Still half asleep, Elin rubbed her eyes and answered.
“I’m glad you all seem to have had a good time.”
As they were talking before the meal came out,
Th is w as c o pi e d fr om k ing m t l . o rg
“Your meal is ready.”
The Head Butler and the maids entered the dining room and began setting the food.
“Once you’ve finished your meal, please ring the bell next to you.”
“Got it.”
“Then, enjoy your meal.”
Afterward, the Head Butler left the dining room with the maids who came in with him.
“I was so preoccupied with looking around the house earlier that I forgot to ask, but what did you talk about with the Demon Lord? You said you’d tell us when we got back to the mansion.”
Anubis, who had been waiting for this moment, asked her question as soon as the Head Butler left.
“I was just about to tell you while we ate. Everyone, listen while you eat.”
Jung Minwoo said while cutting the meat on his plate.
“The Demon Lord told me that when we’re dispatched to the planet, Baal will send 3rd Rank demons to kill us.”
Uduk—
“Excuse me?”
“3rd Rank?”
“…”
“Ribbit, ribbit?”
The Demon Communion members all froze as if stunned, staring at Jung Minwoo.
“But don’t worry too much. Even if they’re 3rd Rank, they won’t be able to use their full power when they first arrive on the planet because they won’t have a base. On the other hand, we have our Demon Servants, so we’ll be able to put up a fight.”
At Jung Minwoo’s continuing explanation, the Demon Communion members showed various reactions.
“Even so, I’m worried since they’re 3rd Rank.”
Venus felt burdened about fighting 3rd Rank demons.
“Good, let’s fight!!”
Anubis pounded the table, displaying her competitive spirit.
“…”
Elin remained silent.
“If Anubis’s opinion is like that… I will also try to be brave and fight. Ribbit, ribbit!”
Rok showed a frightened appearance.
‘It’s understandable to feel burdened by 3rd Rank demons.’
Anubis was naturally a belligerent demon, so her reaction was different from the other members’ normal reactions.
“Even if we can put up a fight, it doesn’t mean we won’t be harmed. I’ve come up with a strategy other than fighting.”
“What is it?”
“As you all know, the ‘Yurain’ planet has many religious orders because the pigeons took control first, right?”
“That’s right.”
“So, I’m thinking of proposing to the pigeons that they handle the demons.”
At Jung Minwoo’s words, Venus tilted her head and said,
“Will the pigeons really take the risk of fighting?”
To her question, Jung Minwoo smiled subtly and continued his explanation.
“If I ask them to fight directly, they’ll refuse, but if I ask them to have the higher beings fight the demons, the probability of them accepting is high.”
“…Higher beings fighting demons?”
To help them understand, Jung Minwoo explained about the book he had seen in the library.
“I didn’t know… there was a method like that. Even so, I’m doubtful that the pigeons will accept that proposal.”
“If we persuade them well, it’ll work out. Hunting demons is a good opportunity for them to raise their ranks too.”
“Rather than that, wouldn’t it be easier if I used ‘Charm’ to turn them into puppets?”
Jung Minwoo shook his head at Venus’s suggestion.
“It’s not that I haven’t thought of that, but it’s better not to do it.”
“Wouldn’t it be doable if their rank is lower than ours?”
“No, even if their rank is lower than ours, because they’ve taken control of a planet, there’s a high probability that Charm won’t work.”
“…Really, it seems like the only way is to persuade them with words.”
Elin, who had been listening to the conversation, quietly raised her hand and said,
“…What are you going to do if the pigeons refuse the proposal?”
To Elin’s question, Jung Minwoo gave a wicked smile and answered.
“If they refuse, we’ll have to make it so they have no choice but to fight the demons and intervene in the Holy Empire.”
In fact, there was no material damage when demons fought amongst themselves, but
‘A plague will spread because of the demonic energy.’
The demonic energy would negatively affect the health of higher beings and make crops wither.
‘That alone would be enough to make the pigeons unable to sit back and watch.’
As Elin nodded her head as if she understood Jung Minwoo’s words,
“Can I ask something now? Ribbit, ribbit.”
Rok spoke up.
“What is it?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to build up our strength to confront the demons? Ribbit, ribbit.”
“I’m sorry, but that would be meaningless.”
“Meaningless? Ribbit, ribbit.”
“Yes, because no matter how much strength we build up, it won’t be much different from now.”
In other words, rank was king.
“And building up our strength would only be giving the 3rd Rank demons time to prepare.”
If the 3rd Rank demons made Demon Servants on the ‘Yurain’ planet during that time, it would become a headache.
“I understand. Ribbit, ribbit.”
Jung Minwoo looked at the Demon Communion members and said,
“So, to prevent giving the 3rd Rank demons time to prepare, as soon as we get to the Demon Lord’s Castle tomorrow and finish the basic work, we’re planning to depart for the ‘Yurain’ planet. Therefore, I want everyone to be prepared mentally.”
At Jung Minwoo’s words, Rok let out a slight sigh and muttered.
“I thought I wouldn’t have to worry about my life after graduation, but it seems like it’s become even more dangerous… Ribbit, ribbit.”
The next day.
“Please follow me.”
The Head Butler led the carriage to the Demon Lord’s Castle.
When they arrived at the main gate of the Demon Lord’s Castle,
‘Pigeon?’
A demon with pigeon-like feathered wings on his back was standing there.
“Are you the new recruits? Follow me.”
He had a handsome appearance, but his personality wasn’t very good, as he was quite prickly.
‘Let’s see what the demon’s skill level at the Demon Lord’s Castle is like.’
Jung Minwoo used ‘Heaven’s Eye’ on the prickly demon.
【’Lucifer’s information is being called up.】
As Heaven’s Eye activated, a new information window popped up.
T hi s w a s co p ie d fr o m ki n g m t l . o rg
『Information Window』
〈Basic Information〉
Name: Lucifer
Gender: Male
Age: 9,800 years old
〈Detailed Information〉
Rank: Proxy
Alignment: Evil
Unique Trait: Pride
Current Emotion: Annoyance
‘Lucifer?’ Since he was a figure mentioned a lot in the Bible, Jung Minwoo was able to easily recognize who he was.
‘Just like Satan… why, while the gods from Greek and Roman mythology and the gods known in other countries don’t exist, why do demons exist?’
T h i s w a s c o p i e d fr om k i n g m t l. o r g
Also, he wondered why those demons were in the Bible on Earth.
‘I can find out gradually.’
Jung Minwoo decided to investigate slowly after surviving the 3rd Rank demons.
‘But, what is a Proxy?’
He thought it was strange that ‘Proxy’ was written under Rank and clicked it to check the details.
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f rom ki n gmt l. o r g
【Proxy】
The representative of the Demon Lord ‘Satan.’ He has the same rank as the 1st ranked Demon Lord.
‘The same rank as the 1st ranked Demon Lord?’
Jung Minwoo was now able to understand why Lucifer’s attitude was so prickly.
‘…No, it’s like a sergeant coming to pick up a private.’
Looking at this aspect, Satan seemed like a very malicious guy too.
‘His unique trait is Pride… Should I take a look?’
At the moment Jung Minwoo was about to check the unique trait’s effects,
“Are you not coming?”
“We’re coming now!”
At Lucifer’s call, Jung Minwoo decided to check later, closed the information window, and followed him.
“You can roughly guess what it’s used for, right?”
He walked around the Demon Lord’s Castle, giving a brief explanation.
‘You call this brief. This is worse than not giving an explanation at all…’
Lucifer entered the elevator and said,
“You can tell what it’s used for just by looking, right? You’ll be working on the 4th floor. Remember that.”
T h i s w a s co pi ed f r o m k in g m tl . o r g
“Got it.”
Afterward, they arrived on the 4th floor, got off the elevator, and followed Lucifer.
“That’s your office over there.”
They arrived at a fairly spacious office.
“If you have questions, don’t ask me. Look at the manual.”
When Jung Minwoo looked at the manual Lucifer gave him,
‘There are various functions.’
He could tell that it was made of state-of-the-art artifacts, more than he expected.
“Then, now that the explanation is over, I’m leaving.”
As if he was afraid we’d try to hold him back, Lucifer quickly moved his feet and disappeared.
“Now that the demon who was guiding us is gone, shall we start working in earnest?”
At Jung Minwoo’s words, the Demon Communion members nodded their heads vigorously.
“Then, I’m going to assign tasks while I go to the personal breeding grounds. Venus?”
“Yes.”
Venus looked at Jung Minwoo with eyes full of anticipation.
“Check how much the Demon Servants who made a contract with us have grown and organize it into a document.”
Jung Minwoo gave Venus some of the manual and ordered her.
“So this is how we can check.”
After reading the manual, Venus turned on the monitor at her desk and immediately started working.
“Elin, figure out the Demon Servants’ locations and print out the surrounding terrain as a document and organize it.”
“…Got it.”
Elin also checked the manual right after and sat at her desk, starting her work.
“Rok, find out what situations the Demon Servants are currently facing.”
“Just leave it to me! Ribbit, ribbit!”
Rok patted his chest, sat at his desk, and started working.
“Me, what about me?”
Anubis, the last one remaining, sparkled her eyes and looked at Jung Minwoo.
“We may have to fight when we go to the planet, so, Anubis, sit in that chair over there and rest.”
“Okay, got it!”
Anubis strode over to the chair, sat down, closed her eyes, and started resting.
Jung Minwoo, who had splendidly finished dividing the tasks, smiled with satisfaction and tapped his bracelet to go to the personal breeding grounds.
Tok, tok—
A black space appeared in the air.
“I’ll be back.”
Jung Minwoo said goodbye to the Demon Communion members and walked into the black space.
When he arrived at the personal breeding grounds,
“Kieeek!”
The goblins were making other goblins do push-ups.
‘Who are they making do push-ups?’
When he looked closely, he saw that goblins wearing military uniforms were making goblins who weren’t wearing military uniforms do push-ups.
‘Come to think of it, the goblins who were at the training center were incorporated into my personal breeding grounds, right?’
As he looked around, it seemed like the size of the personal breeding grounds had gotten a little bigger.
T h i s w a s c op i ed fro m k i n gm t l . or g
As he walked to the training ground,
“””Kiek!”””
The goblins who were making the others do push-ups discovered Jung Minwoo and saluted.
“Ki, kiek?”
At that appearance, the goblins who were doing push-ups clumsily imitated the saluting posture.
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f ro m k in gm t l . o rg
“At ease.”
Cheok, cheok—
Jung Minwoo looked over the goblins and opened his mouth.
“I have good news for you all.”
At the words ‘good news,’ the goblins’ eyes sparkled.
“We will soon be invading a planet. In other words, the opportunity to evolve has come to you all.”
“””Kieeek!”””
At the news that the invasion would start soon, the goblins cheered.
“However, the opponent isn’t easy, so we must prepare thoroughly.”
“””Kiek!”””
“Because the enemy’s numbers are large, I’ve decided to replenish new troops. So, I hope you all will continue to lead well like now.”
At the words that new recruits would be coming in, the goblins grinned slyly and nodded their heads vigorously.
“Good look in your eyes. Wait just a moment. I’ll replenish new troops soon.”
Jung Minwoo took his gaze off the goblins and took out a black card from his pocket.
And when he poured demonic energy into the black card,
【Customer, welcome.】
At the same time that a message window welcoming him popped up before his eyes,
Bbi—yung.
A shop window made of holograms opened.
