## Chapter 532 – A Useful Fellow
ㅡClap clap clap clap clap!!
“Waaaaaa!! Oh, Prophet!!!!”
“Uwoooooooot!!!!”
“Long live the workers!!!”
As the speech began, the workers were swept up in a frenzy, clapping and screaming. Some of them were even shedding tears, kneeling down, and clasping their hands in prayer.
“Holy moly.”
It was truly a scene of utter madness.
Is this the power of a demon?
Before the conspiracy of a great evil, the lives of mere people were like floating duckweed.
“Gyaaaaaaaaaaaak!!!”
“Long live!!!”
Anyway, these bastards seemed to have all gone crazy from attending repeated rallies. This is the scary thing about brainwashing. As if possessed by a cult, they were worshiping that speaker.
If I did nothing else and just collected 1 copper from these guys every day as an offering, how much money would that be?
Even if we estimate about 300 people, that’s 3 silver a day in unearned income. If I expand the religious influence, I could get even more money.
I can understand why a kid would sell his soul to a demon.
“The world of workers! We, the workers, are what make up the world!! If we join forces! We can drive out the oppressors and exploiters! No matter how strong they are, they cannot defeat us united!”
ㅡKuaaaaaaaa!
The speaker’s muscles pulsated as he roared.
What kind of power did he get from the demon? Those demon bastards are all random, so you can’t know.
“This place will be our outpost!”
“Waaaaaa!!”
“Long live!!!!”
“The world of workers!!!!”
In fact, this city didn’t seem to have many troops, nor did they seem very strong.
The senior commander seemed to be just a slightly trained man without mana. If a large-scale rebellion by fanatical workers were to occur in such a city, it would be very difficult to suppress.
“Hmm.”
Is the demon aiming for the blood that will flow in that chaos?
I don’t know what it is, but that’s what those guys are all about in the first place. That’s why they tempt humans and drive them to ruin. Chaos and blood are their most precious nourishment.
“Prepare for the uprising!”
The speech proceeded in that manner.
I slowly pushed through the crowd, approaching the platform. I had to be ready to act as soon as the soldiers rushed in.
ㅡBuzz buzz.
While monitoring the speech, I checked the door at the back.
It seemed like the soldiers would be coming soon. As soon as they arrived, I had to subdue him and show evidence of his collusion with the demon. Right now, a strange energy was emanating from him. If so, proving it on the spot would be simple.
“A world where everyone shares equal wealth will soon come!!”
As the speech reached its climax, the door opened.
ㅡ…!
ㅡ…!
Looking at the clothes of those who rushed in, they were definitely city guards.
They’ve finally arrived.
“Uwoooooooot!!”
“Guwaaaaaaaaaaak!!”
But the workers were completely caught up in their frenzy and didn’t notice at all. Only a small commotion arose from the back.
Then I’ll subdue him nowㅡ
“ㅡLook behind you! The dogs of the powerful have finally arrived!!!”
Suddenly, the speaker pointed towards the door and shouted. Well, he was giving the speech while looking this way, so he would notice right away.
“W-What’s going on!”
“They’ve come!”
“Dogs of power!”
Then the workers all turned towards the door.
“Arrest them all!!!”
“Attack!!”
City guard troops with shields in front pushed through the workers and began their arrest operation. Those with clubs beat down the workers.
“They have come to oppress us! To exploit us forever! If you get caught here, it’s over, everyone! Look at that scene of violence!!!”
At the same time, the speaker began to incite them.
“Stop them!”
“We have to stop them!”
“Kill them all!”
The workers, gaining fighting spirit from that, rushed at the city guards.
“Uwaaaaaaaa!”
“Kyaaaaaaaak!!!”
“Stop! Stop!”
The scene was instantly engulfed in a pit of violence.
It was truly a scene of carnage. The workers swung their fists, and the city guards swung their clubs. Casualties began to occur on both sides, and blood splattered.
Cloudy and Winia must be somewhere in there.
I was seriously worried, but they were both skilled anyway.
They’ll be able to handle it on their own.
Let’s do my job.
“Dejaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!”
I immediately unleashed the Vice-Captain’s Lion’s Roar and used the Heavenly Demon’s Descent Steps to jump onto the platform in one go. At the same time, I threw off the robe I was wearing and struck a pose.
ㅡFlash!
“Brass Celestial Angel Associate Priest Kim Kat has arrived!”
The revealed armor sparkled!
“T-That guy! He’s wearing armor! He’s a spy!”
“Kill him!”
At the same time, muscular giants who had been waiting behind the platform rushed forward. They were tall and overflowing with muscles.
Are these guys the guards?
There were a total of four.
“Dieeeeee!”
They looked pretty fierce, but they just seemed like guys who throw punches in back alleys. To subdue me, you need a true warrior!
“Who do these bastards think they’re messing with?”
I easily dodged the incoming fist and slapped the guy’s cheek.
ㅡThud!
“Kweh!”
With a sound like a mortar shell being fired, the guy who got hit in the face flew far away. The flying guy fell below the platform, colliding with the workers.
“Aaaagh!”
In the first place, even if a truckload of ordinary people without mana rushed at me, they couldn’t beat me. Only those with the trifecta of skill, ability, and power can face me!
“Protect the Prophet!”
“Run away!”
“Die, dog of power!”
The skills honed in actual combat and the body tempered with mana had already far surpassed ordinary people. The three guards rushed towards me.
I immediately took the stance of Vice-Captain Kung Fu.
“Vice-Captain Kung Fu!!!!”
ㅡPapat!
ㅡBoong boong!
“Uwaaaaaaaak!!”
“Gyuaaaaaaaaaaaak!”
“Kyaaaak!!”
As I unleashed Vice-Captain Kung Fu, the three guards who had rushed in screamed and flew away. It took less than 2 seconds to land a total of nine blows on the three of them.
ㅡKyaaaaaaaaaak!
ㅡKkeuaaaaaaaaaak!!
The guards were all taken care of.
“You weaklings!”
But below the platform, a war was raging.
“You son of a bitch! Dogs of power, get out of here!”
“Shut up, you reactionary bastard!”
Blood and flesh splattered as they inflicted violence on each other. Of course, overall, the city guards were in the lead. There was no way the workers could beat the troops who had finished their preparations and set out.
“…!”
I stood still on the platform, looking at the mastermind who was staring at me with burning eyes.
“Hehehe, our friend. You dare borrow the power of a demon? What for?”
“You villain! Tool of power!”
When I asked, the mastermind pointed at me and rebuked me.
“Tool of power?”
“How dare you commit such atrocities! What’s wrong with seeking just rights! Today, the workers were overworked, receiving only enough wages to live for just one day! Do not suppress the rights of the workers!”
ㅡHwareureuk!
A crimson energy settled in his pupils.
ㅡThe power of the demon is materializing.
“The rights of the workers, you say?”
Did this bastard perhaps borrow the power of the demon for this reason?
Perhaps he sincerely did this to achieve such a goal. Of course, even so, I won’t let it slide. My job is to punish demons.
ㅡFlap!
The mastermind who had been rebuking me suddenly threw off his shirt.
“This bastard! That muscle, could it be!”
What was revealed wasㅡ
“The workers’ resentment has become my power!!!!”
ㅡAn ultimate body tempered like steel.
Sculpted muscles covered his entire body.
ㅡSquirm squirm.
A dark energy was flowing out from between the pulsating muscles.
This is… Demon Muscle!
I thought it was amazing, but it was even more impressive to see in person! Is this the power of a demon? This was a body like the legendary Vajra Yaksha!
“Now is the time to rise! Now is the time to show the power of the workers! I will never succumb to the oppression of the exploiters!”
ㅡKuaaaaaaaa!!
As he roared, a dark demonic aura began to swirl from his entire body.
“Infinite power is overflowing!”
Hildegard said that since he had gathered so many people, it was perfect for the demon to inflate its power! To feel such a strong energy!
“Take this blow of the oppressed workers, iyaaaap!!!”
ㅡKwaang!
As the agitator stepped forward, the floor of the platform was shattered, and his body was fired like a cannonball.
ㅡShooong!
This bastard is fast!
“The Fist of Guaranteeing Just Labor Rights!!!”
ㅡThud!
A punch containing great power as well as speed flew towards me! I immediately took the stance of Vice-Captain Kung Fu and unfolded a fluid defensive motion like flowing water.
ㅡThud!
At the same time, my arm and his fist collided.
“You little shit!”
ㅡShriek!!!
My body was pushed back as my feet slipped from the tremendous impact!
It was truly an astonishing power! To make me retreat!
“The Prophet is showing off his martial arts!”
“Muscles trained by hard labor!”
“It’s a myth! This is a myth!”
“Waaaaaaa!! Kill that guy!!”
At the same time, the workers looked this way and shouted madly. I can’t believe such ridiculous martial arts exist!
“Did you see that! This is the power of the workers!”
The agitator, shouting powerfully, unleashed a powerful vertical jump and then kicked me. The kick flying down from a high place was like a meteor. Why is the ceiling so high here!
“The Kick of Guaranteeing Just Labor Rights!!!”
ㅡKwaang!
I crossed my arms to block the attack. I felt a heavy impact, but it wasn’t enough to make me unable to withstand it. I immediately bounced him off and counterattacked.
“You son of a bitch! What labor rights are you talking about when you’re borrowing the power of a demon!”
“Shut up, you power-monger!!!”
This bastard is stronger than I thought!
“Taste the flavor of a wage increase!!”
I continuously received his bizarre fist and leg techniques. Is his pure power greater than Lisette’s? An unknown conviction was embedded in each of his blows.
I can’t tell if it’s the power of the demon or his own power.
He tried to break through my defenses by using extremely efficient and destructive techniques.
“You are strong.”
Those with conviction are strong.
They are strong because they do not compromise with anything and move forward straightforwardly.
His martial arts were like that.
“Be shattered, oppressor!!!”
ㅡSpin spin!
The agitator, rotating his body ten times in the air, unleashed a fierce punch with the power of centrifugal force and rotation.
“Paradise, come forth!!!”
ㅡKwaang!
I used Vice-Captain Footwork to avoid that terrifying attack, and the punch slammed into the floor. It was powerful enough to bury his fist in the floor.
“The world of workers!!”
But even so, he doesn’t give up. Immediately pulling out his fist, he leaped up like a frog, aiming for my throat.
“I will achieve it with this hand!!!”
ㅡThe flying fist was strong.
“Ha, haha! Hahahahaha!!!”
Laughter burst out.
This bastard may have received the power of a demon, but he was a true warrior.
The flying punch was shown in slow motion. The demonic aura gathered in his fist was pulsating, scattering a dark energy.
Is that the power of the demon or his own power?
I don’t know, but I think it’s the latter.
ㅡThen I’ll face you.
“Asura Bloodshed Fist.”
I unleash the Asura Bloodshed Fist towards that place.
ㅡKwaang!
Thus, fist and fist collide.
“That’s quite a strong punch. I’m impressed.”
ㅡTingle!
The end of the fist vibrates, resonating with the bones. His soul and conviction resonated with my bones.
But even so.
“Why… why doesn’t it work!! My fist, containing the conviction of liberation, should be stronger than anything else!!”
The guy can’t beat me.
His face was distorted with pain.
“I know your ideology well.”
“Eit!”
The agitator, recovering his tattered fist, immediately launched a barrage of attacks and charged.
“It’s a good intention. Those who dedicate themselves to others and fight are truly noble and strong.”
“Then why are you stopping me!!!”
Of course, it wasn’t difficult to avoid. I tilted my head to avoid the flying fist, and stepped using Vice-Captain Footwork to evade the attack aimed at my chest.
“But you trusted the demon too much.”
“What?”
“Do you think the demon gave you proper power?”
“Do not insult my friend!”
The dark demonic energy swirling from the agitator’s body began to cling to his skin.
With that, I could see clearly.
His corruption and failure.
“Look, at your body.”
When I pointed, he checked his body and was horrified.
“Oh…! T-This is!!!”
As the Demon Energy melted into his flesh, his skin began to turn black from his toes. Watching that, I was reminded of the black people who fell against imperialism.
“Uwaaaaaaaak!!!”
When his skin was completely black, a strange voice was heard.
“Heh… Hehehe!! The goal has been achieved, human!!! Now you are useless!!!”
“W-What does that mean! Zeltouma! Didn’t you say you would build a world of workers with me!”
The voice of the demon came from none other than the agitator’s mouth.
“Kehat! Kehahahahahahahat!!! You stupid guy! I’m sick of your nonsense! What a truly powerful body!!!”
The agitator, split into two personalities, shouted like Count Asura and laughed wildly.
“T-That’s!!!”
“T-The Prophet’s body…!”
“It’s a demon!!!! It’s a demon!!!! Uwaaaaaaaak!!! I can’t believe it!!!!”
“It’s sorcery! It’s sorceryaaaaaaa!!!”
The war between the city guards and the workers had already stopped. Everyone at the scene, spewing demonic energy, was staring at the agitator, no, Zeltouma, who had been reborn as a true demon, with their mouths wide open, screaming.
Good!
“Go!!!!”
I drew the Heavenly Demon Sword and shouted to the people!
“I am Kim Kat, Associate Priest of the Brass Celestial Angel Society!!! You have been deceived! This man is a demon worshiper! He was plotting to seduce you with sweet words and screw you over!!! Behold, his evil power! The truth of the Prophet reborn as a demon!!”
At the same time, I unleash sword energy.
“This Associate Priest will save you!!”
ㅡPatsutsut!!!
The fiercely rising blue sword energy captivates the attention of the public.
“P-Priest!”
“The priest has come to defeat the demon!!!”
“Oh God!”
Already the city guards and the workers were of one mind.
“Come, evil demon!!”
I slammed the Heavenly Demon Sword into the floor as it was.
ㅡKwaang!
The noble blade is embedded in the floor.
“Kehahaha! I feel infinite power! I will make you my sacrifice as well, strong human!!”
ㅡPaat!
At the same time, the demon, who burst into wild laughter, began to sprint through space at super speed, scattering crimson eyes.
“Uwaaaaak!!”
“What is thataaaaak!!!”
“It’s a gecko demon crawling on the wallaaaa!!!”
Screams erupt every time he jumps off the wall and runs from the ceiling. The demon, who showed off his skills, finally targeted me and charged like a rocket.
ㅡThat speed is.
“Hard to follow with the eyes.”
The prophet who dreamed of liberating the workers was deceived by the demon and completely lost his body. In this way, demons are beings that defile people’s beliefs.
“Become a sacrifice, humanaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!”
The punch flying towards my face felt like it contained the power of the deepest anger in hell.
“In your fist.”
While staring at that fist, I take one step back.
“There is no conviction.”
“What?!”
I take another step and throw a punch.
“Heavenly Demon Shattering Palm.”
A fist covered with Vice-Captain Energy. And the exploding inner mana. Thus, my Heavenly Demon Shattering Palm, which gained power like a bolt-action large-caliber sniper rifle.
ㅡBbeoeong!!!!
“The crime of playing with people by wagging that tongue is punishable by death, you failure.”
It pierces the demon’s heart.
ㅡCrack!
“Keo, Keheoeok…! T-This power is… what…! Kehak!”
“A punch without a soul doesn’t reach me.”
ㅡChwareuk!
When I pulled out my fist, black blood and pieces of the heart came out, and his body collapsed towards me.
“That’s all there is to it.”
I pushed the body away.
