Chapter 489: A Demon Must Act Like A Demon To Be A Demon (1)
-Disgusting bastard.
Donovan was a mass of cancer of the 27th Corps. He was a typical military officer and a warrior who didn’t know how to compromise.
He was an early member of the Belial Corps, now called the 27th Corps. Personally, he was the type I hated the most.
Unlike those like Limur, Ronove, and Ballitos, his disposition itself was the opposite of Belial.
Perhaps, if I had seen him without knowing anything, I would have doubted that he was a member of the 27th Corps. He was far from the ideals of the group. However…
‘It’s all karma from the past. It’s past karma.’
Thinking that Belial was the Head of the 72nd Corps before he was the Head of the 27th Corps, I had easily found an answer. He probably did more before he joined the 27th Corps.
It was clear that it had grown in size by recruiting individuals who didn’t fit his disposition.
It must’ve been the reason why the Corps was still cluttered.
‘This is why he’s trash…’
I naturally realized that Belial’s personality was at the level of complete waste.
‘Now that the size is big enough, he can’t do anything about it.’
Since he escaped from the relegation zone and flew all the way to the 27th Corps, he began to focus on quality rather than quantity.
It wasn’t unreasonable that he wanted to color his army with his color from that point on. Still, it seemed too despicable to just abandon the subordinates who suffered for him so far.
There must’ve been a reason, but even his nature was trying to use me because he judged that it was a little dangerous to abandon them on his own. I had no choice but to smile and nod at the thought that I was still far from being the worst.
The world was wide, and there was a lot of trash. I also realized that Light Kiyoung hadn’t been completely engulfed in darkness yet.
‘Well, as for myself, I’m having this cake and eating it. Honestly, I felt a little sorry for him, but now I don’t.’
There was nothing to regret since he had already taken everything he needed.
The most important thing at the moment was to quickly resolve the formal procedure and move on to the next step. When I was ready to talk, I looked at Donovan’s annoyed expression.
‘It seems easy, but I have to do it slowly.’
The leading actor, Donovan, would have to play the most important role in the audition.
-I’m just going to kill some time here and leave, so don’t even move that dirty mouth in front of me, human.
“…”
-Honestly, I’m not comfortable having trash like you next to Belial. If I could, I would twist that soft neck off right now.
“…”

I tried to respond with a smile on my lips as much as possible, but watching him show that much hostility was irritating. I felt like my smile was done in vain.
I honestly wanted to leave the room due to the murderous aura he was emitting. The solution was already in place.
As I kept talking with a smile, I could see him making a face thinking that it was unexpected.
“You have to fill out the questionnaire, Donovan. I need to have proof to show Belial that you were here. I knew right away that you would not welcome this project in the first place.”
-It looks like you think I’m a joke. I’m pretty sure I told you not to move that dirty mouth!
“You passed.”
-What?
“I said you passed, Donovan.”
-It seems that you really can’t figure out your place. Believing in Belial is a mistake, human.
“No. No. Donovan. I always engrave the words of the great commanders in my heart. I know my place very well. It wasn’t me who passed you, but Belial’s will. So please don’t be angry with me.”
-That… What are you talking about?
“What do you think of the current 27th Corps?”
‘It’s too easy to coax a fool.’
-Didn’t I just ask what bullshit you’re talking about?
“There is an answer to the question I asked. Donovan, don’t get agitated, and just for a moment, I hope you will respond to this mortal’s request for a conversation. I will ask you again. What does the commander Donovan think about the current 27th Corps?”
-…
“You probably know the right answer. The current 27th Corps…”
-…
“It’s weak.”
-It is not weak. How dare you! Do you evaluate the strength of the 27th Corps according to your standards?
“I am not talking about force. What I told you about is the mental part. Long ago, when Belial was just ascending to the left of the 72nd Corps, the 27th Corps would certainly not have been this way. Fighting with brave and courageous warriors and endless blood and slaughter, the 27th Corps of the past, despite being smaller compared to what it is now, was strong and tough. Isn’t that right?”
-What are you talking about? A trashy human like you…
“But young demons these days aren’t like that. They have turned into salespeople who focus solely on contracts and performance rather than glorious and bloody wars. It can’t be helped because the trend is always changing. They just realized what the easier and safer way is. As a result, they naturally don’t satisfy the real warriors like Donovan, the living protagonist of past glory.”
-So what do you want to say?
“I’ll be frank with you. Belial is asking you to take the road in the middle.”
-What?

“The harmony of hardliners and moderates. He’s trying to walk a path that’s never easy.”
-…!
“I’m saying that Belial hasn’t forgotten about those days, too, Donovan.”
I sneakily checked the guy’s face.
I could see his eyes getting wetter, which wasn’t normal for a demon. I didn’t know what h was feeling in detail, but I thought something was overwhelming him.
‘So, demons also have tears.’
It was a little bit painful because I couldn’t use the famous line, ‘Cry and prove your innocence!’, but I had to clench my fists in the flowing conversation.
“The current 27th Corps is moving in a direction where the moderates dominate. Belial pitied the demons whose physical abilities were weak and took them in and raised them, but he had no choice but to admit that the results weren’t as good. Those young demons became the leading force in the current 27th Corps. In the end, he seems to have a lot of worries about the Corps losing its glory and honor due to them. Of course, I understand Donovan’s recent feelings as well.”
-…
“I think you were dissatisfied with many things. When he reached the peak, he had no choice but to listen to multiple voices. No wonder the 27th Corps is heading towards its present direction. Don’t resent him too much.”
-I have never resented Belial.
“It is for that reason that Belial made Donovan the heart of this plan and that he told me to communicate with you about this secretly.”
-…
“He wants to empower Donovan and other hardliners in the Corps to balance demons like Limur, Ronove, and Ballitos. Belial wants to have Donovan as the Four Demon Generals to assist him in the future, and he believes this plan is the beginning of the midway path. If you think I’m lying, you can ask Belial directly, Donovan.”
-I don’t even need to check. I know that Belial is like this. Middle way… it’s the middle way.
“This is a very small step for an individual, but it will be a significant leap for the 27th Corps. Donovan. After accepting my offer, please let him be aware that Donovan is one with the 27th Corps. Donovan is the heart of this operation, after all.”
-…
“This is Belial’s will, Donovan.”
I could see him looking at me.
‘Did he catch on?’
I thought for a second, but it’s hard for the situation to flow like that.
Since I had used Belial’s name, it would be natural for him not to doubt.
-You.
“Yes.”
-You’re not as rotten of a human as I thought.
“Thank you for thinking of me in such a good light.”

-Do you think the same?
“Would I even have a meaning? I’m a mortal who simply does what Belial asks me to do…”
-I asked if you think the same thing, human.
“Of course.”
-…
“The midway path that Belial is trying to walk will never be easy. However, if the 27th Corps establishes itself as a midway corps, not only will it only grow much more than what it is right now, but it’ll also breathe new energy and wind into the stagnant Hell. Hardliners, moderates, and the middle way. You will be able to split the two divisions of Hell into three equal parts. That’s our plan.”
-A plan of dividing it… into three equal parts…
“The 27th Corps will soon be at the center of Hell. Leave Donovan’s sword to me.”
‘Kiyoung’s value is shooting up!’
As the situation went by, it seemed that his internal evaluation was going up out of hand.
I saw his eyes becoming infinitely soft.
It was scarier to see him say something hesitantly rather than cute. It was then that he suddenly reached out his fist.
‘This crazy son of a bitch.’
I was very surprised for a moment.
However, when I saw that fist approaching very slowly, I felt a little puzzled.
In addition, he controlled his strength while sweating.
I didn’t know if this was the correct expression, but it seemed like he was trying to touch an ant without killing it, simply by pressing it with his hand.
I didn’t know what to do, so I carefully lifted my arm and felt a little shock.
‘What are you trying to do now? This crazy bastard.’
It was then that an embarrassed tone of voice came out.
-We become friends when we share our fists.
‘Ah… that’s why you’re being left out…’
“It is an honor.”
-2,000 years. It’s longer than I thought, but I’ll be waiting for the day when we can fight together, human– no, my friend.
I felt sorry, but I was sure that the day would never come.
The bastard would die in an unfortunate accident in the upcoming war.

‘I’m sorry, Donovan, for being a mean friend.’
To compensate, I would ensure that he would go out in a very cool way.
I took that pledge to heart.
