Chapter 492: A Demon Must Act Like A Demon To Be A Demon (4)
Since I had already gone up, I had to do something about it. This was a situation that Belial had made with consideration. It was only proper to show a passionate and glorious expression.
The demon of lies and agitation couldn’t have set me on the podium for no reason. Clearly…
‘Of course, he wants something out of this.’
It was also important to greet the demon legions and raise their morale. However, at that moment, I was more inclined to scrape the area where Belial would itch most.
Once again, I spoke, choosing my words carefully, and they replied with a loud shout.
-Hello. I’ll introduce myself again. I am your eternal ally, your eternal friend, Lee Kiyoung, who had become this project’s general manager. It’s only for a short time, but I took on the external advisor position of the 27th Corps. I would like to express my gratitude to all of you who have filled the roles I needed to be filled even though I’m an outsider.
-Whoooooaaaaaa!!!
Fortunately, the atmosphere wasn’t all that bad.
-We have a big task ahead of us. Yes, it’s a gigantic and glorious job. It’s a turning point where the 27th Corps will be able to grow further and will be able to utilize the great opportunity to leap forward. There are probably many people who have doubts about this.
-Why should you go so far? Why should you put your life and on the line for this project while doing annoying tasks? Many are wondering why we are so focused on this work, even though it can feel like a joke.
-Whhooooaaaaaaaa!!!
Most of the guys shouted this, all without thinking, but there were also guys showing positive gazes.
If Belial hadn’t been looking at me happily, he would have nodded and responded to what I said. Even Donovan was applauding me, but his face still remained expressionless.
To him, all of this looked like a kid’s joke, and that was the only correct way to react.
-There must be a reason behind our actions. Only when there is a justification for why we act like this can we work with a little more passion. Of course, it’s stupid for such a foolish mortal to give an explanation to the demons who exalt hell, but I think that because I’m a human, there’s a view that only I can see. Sometimes, the view from below can also be valuable, everyone.
-Right! That’s right!
-Recently, the 27th Corps has suffered a lot. It climbed through 45 ranks and was able to get the 27th position from the 72nd. As everyone already knows, our time today is more important than ever. Depending on what the 27th Corps becomes here, it may develop or deteriorate further. The Supreme Master Belial, the ruler of all evils, has entrusted this unworthy mortal with a task. Therefore, there is one thing I want to say at this meeting! A demon is a demon… Only when he acts like a demon.
-A demon… must act like a demon to be a demon.
-Yes. That’s right. A demon must act like a demon to be a demon. How do you accept that you are a demon? Have you ever thought about what a demon is?
-…
-At least I think of it like this: demons don’t only massacre humans and slaughter them like pigs. Demons don’t only cause great natural disasters and give pain. If they are simply using destruction and violence, then how can we find the difference between a demon and a monster?
-…
-The things I just said are the type that even monsters without intelligence could do! Even incompetent humans can cause simple destruction, violence, and massacre! It is the way of beasts that can’t think or speak to terrorize them in such a way, not the way our glorious demons should aim. If so, what should we do? How can we, as mature demons, take a step further? How can we differentiate ourselves from primitive beings?
No one could answer. Their lips were twitching, but they probably couldn’t open their mouth.
It wasn’t a question I asked because I wanted an answer in the first place.
-The answer is obvious. We have to manage them. We have to be careful not to drive them to extinction, but rather we have to watch them develop. We can’t treat them without sincerity.
-…
-There is a saying on the continent. If you want to help a bum, giving gold coins is not the right way. You must teach them how to earn gold coins. This stupid mortal can guarantee that our situation will not be much different. Instead of giving them fear, you should teach them how to feel fear.
-…
-That’s the only way you can take the 27th Corps a step further into this turbulent human society. Don’t try too hard to engrave fear on them! Make them realize the greatness of the 27th Corps, all for themselves! Rather than eradicating humans, you should allow your myths and stories to be passed on to newer generations through word of mouth.
-…
-The horror of death is only for a moment, but the horror conveyed as a story will thrive for years to come. The people on the continent who had been struck by injustice and desire personal revenge will do their best to summon you, remembering your myths! Little children will be afraid of you and will lose sleep at the thought of you! Those who survive the battle will live in nightmares for a lifetime, and everyone will remember you, not just humans!
-Ooh…
-Manage their fear. Don’t you dare belittle yourselves. Let them know that you stand above them. We need to keep the balance and applaud their progress. You have to look from above and laugh at the human race’s image that they will create. We need to make them realize and practice that we are beings of a higher order and that we are better than them!
-Whooooaaaaaaa!!
-After this project, you will be the unhealing wounds of the continent! You will be remembered as an eternal nightmare!
-Whoooooaaaaaaaaa!!!
-This continent, and all the intelligent creatures living here, even the stupid Benignore and the heartless Elune trash, will remember you. A demon must act like a demon to be a demon! You are not monsters. You’re also different from some of the stupid hardliner demons in hell. A demon is someone who deceives humans with lies and agitation and manipulates them! A demon must act like a demon to be a demon!!
- A demon must act like a demon to be a demon!
- A demon must act like a demon to be a demon!!
‘Wow. Why is the atmosphere so good?’
I knew I would eventually get the support of moderates, but honestly, this felt a little boring.
It wasn’t a formal atmosphere like the first time. Everyone cheered from the bottom of their hearts. The only exceptions were the demons that were going to be thrown away, anyway.
‘Whew…’
In the heat similar to that when standing at the State’s pulpit and shouting Benignore’s name, It was enough for me to be dumbfounded.
Even some of the demons who were classified as hardliners nodded in agreement.
The same went for Belial. I smiled, looking at him applauding as if he was very satisfied.
‘Whew. I guess he’ll overlook this mistake.’
I was responsible for the great task of uniting the 27th Corps. It was tiny, but I took one step closer to accomplishing it.
Just a few minutes ago, I wanted to get out of the place quickly, but I started to get more and more energetic at that point.
-Lee Kiyoung is the wind of transformation that has blown the 27th Corps!
-For Lee Kiyoung!
-Look at that disgusting soul!! How can that be a human soul!!!
-We will be waiting for the day you come to hell, external advisor!
I couldn’t help but feel rejuvenated due to the atmosphere that enveloped the entire hall.
Once again, I cleared my throat, and this caused the entire place to quiet down.
-You all know about this already. Just a few hours ago, stupid humans set foot in Belial’s realm. Insect humans that occupied bases 41, 42, and 43 will try to attack Amera by building a barrier in Belial’s territory and using it as a forward base. They’re approaching with that filthy Benignore’s light. Yes. This is where it all begins.
-…
-From the time I started preparing for this project until now, I have never seen you take a break or do anything unnecessary.
-…
-The sound of the wind and the soft rain used to always hit my office before the storm came. Some of the demons watching the current situation in hell laughed at this project, saying it was useless.
-…
-The results will be the ones to tell who’s right and who’s wrong.
-…
-The results will show who’ll dominate!
-…
-Let’s show them. Let us prove for ourselves that the past wasn’t spent in vain, my dear compatriots.
-Whooooaaaaaaa!!!
-To war, my brothers and sisters!
A thunderous shout echoed, making me feel like it my tears were going to be torn apart.
I could see the Corps moving slowly even though I didn’t say anything.
Donovan was also smiling. He was aware that it was his turn.
He already knew without me having to say it. When I glanced at Belial, he began speaking to the Corps.
-Donovan, one of the Four Guardian Kings, lead your troops right now and come back after showing those puny humans what true fear truly feels like!
-As you command, my liege.
It was satisfying to watch him move confidently.
As I nodded unknowingly, and Belial patted my shoulder as if he felt happy about the outcome.
‘Not bad. The situation is really favorable.’
It felt like the first phase that was inserted incorrectly had somehow been fixed.
If Donovan moderately attracted their attention and boosted his performance, then pulled out at the right time, then that would be the best situation.
Since he was a very tough demon, there might be some casualties, but the useless federal guys were the targets of the operation anyway…
‘I don’t have to worry about this too much.’
It would be over the moment our lovely regressor would deliver the last blow against the weary guy.
I made a fair amount of time. Belial liked it, I liked it, my sister liked it, and my brother-in-law liked it. I smiled happily at this beautiful situation.
It was exactly eight hours later that I thought things became a bit complicated.
‘Why are you over there with Hyunsung? Why aren’t you going after Donovan?’
After Donovan hit the Continental Union base with the 27th Corps, the 4th alliance, including Blue, escaped the bases.
They passed by Donovan with near perfection.
‘Kim Hyunsung, you’re not acting like yourself.’
I couldn’t figure out exactly what was going on, but the situation was like this:
It looked like Kim Hyunsung had abandoned the Federation.
‘You’re not like this…’
He had thrown Gerhan of Hellfire and Jamilla as bait and immediately began to advance to Amera.
