Chapter 490: A Demon Must Act Like A Demon To Be A Demon (2)

The Four Demon Generals had been decided to be Limur, Donovan, Ballitos, and finally Carpediac.

Although it was disappointing that Ronove was not enlisted, I had to think that it was for the best.

‘She’s had come out a lot… the image consumption is too much.’

To be someone already known was good, but I thought it was better to recruit someone new.

I was worried that the pervert would have all the anger concentrated on me by provoking that much. I knew that I had to make an appropriate judgment.

Although it looked ordinary in many ways, it was valid that the performance of the demon named Carpediac had an impact.

Besides that, I put a lot of effort into deciding the big and small roles. The demon corps summoned into our world was largely divided into four because I felt the need for supporting actors in every corner.

For a thrilling battle, all combat power gauges, supply officers, squadrons, and even support companies had to be put into roles.

Although it was a little annoying to assign detailed roles, it was necessary since those details would promote completeness.

The Mise En Scene couldn’t be seen too vaguely. In a way, it could be said to be the most important. Was it possible for the Four Demon Generals of Belial, who led the 27th Corps, to fight in a flower garden?

Everyone knew that they needed to set a background that suited the atmosphere they had.

That was even more so if we were to assume that we would film a video that would soon spread across the continent.

It would begin at the place where they would first meet humans and reach all the way to the location where the climax would occur. Each of the Four Demon Generals had different stories and strategies, so I was worried about them.

It was enough to make me quite nervous.

Still, it was unavoidable because I was the head of a big event, but my attitude, which had become a little skittish, made all of the commanders confused.

It was the same that day.

“Oh, you have to pay more attention here. How many times have I told you? This is where Ballitos will fight. I came here just in case. Ah… really…

Ah…”

-Well, what don’t you like that much?

“Where is the place where Ballitos and worm humans have to fight?”

-F-Food storage…

“Do you think I have assigned a food warehouse carelessly? You know how important the atmosphere is, right? If you had an understanding of your character, you wouldn’t close this place this way. It’s a bit hard to say this, but Ballitos is a trash demon that enjoys human meat.”

-H-human meat has no taste…

“I’m not saying you have to eat it. I’m also a human. I won’t give such an order. Just hang a few unidentified chunks of meat around the location. Didn’t we bring in a lot of beast meat? Even those who come here will think that it’s human meat. Add in a variety of cooking utensils and cauldrons.”

-We’ll do as you say…

“If you’re running out of physical strength, swallow the meat here so you can recover your strength, and that is the gimmick that Ballitos has been given. I’ve told you this so many times already. Wouldn’t it instill fear in humans a little longer if you were into eating them?”

-I’m… I’m sorry, Lee Kiyoung.

“I’m not saying this for no reason at all. I know it’s unpleasant to listen to the words of a worm human, but this is sincerely all for Ballitos.”

-How could I doubt Lee Kiyoung’s will? I, Ballitos, know very well that you are working hard for the 27th Corps more than anyone else. I’m also aware that you’re doing this for me.

“Sigh. It’s not yet time to relax, Ballitos. I think you probably know, but Ulkarox recently…”

-T-That’s…

“It doesn’t mean your worries are done just because you got a role. You already know all of that. Sigh. I will only tell you this much.”

-I’ll make sure to do my best.

“I will come back in three hours. If it hasn’t been done properly until then, Belial would be disappointed.”

-Yes.

“And before I came here, the entrance had been too neat, so please dirty it a bit. It makes the tension disappear. I understand your personality that likes neat things, but please stick to the role a little bit. Humans wouldn’t be afraid of a demon that likes cleaning.”

-I’ll keep that deeply embedded in my mind.

That was the situation all over the project.

‘Sigh, it seems like it’s not long before our members will come in. This one really isn’t ready.’

I thought it would take about ten days, but looking at the situation, I realized that something was happening.

‘What kind of drugs did you take…?’

I couldn’t check the details inside, but some things could be seen from the outside.

The speed at which the troops were gathering was unimaginable.

It was calculated that the federal organizations would push through the middle, and it felt like they were in good harmony with the existing troops. It was as if Gerhan of Hellfire and the bitch Jamila had decided to take the lead.

The Republic’s eyes were probably shining at this point.

Recently, a fairly high-level reconnaissance team had been gathering information about major areas in the Federation. The Corps side leaked some information for smooth progress, but the scouting team that picked it up made me doubt that it was the Continental Alliance that I knew.

It wouldn’t be wrong to believe that I was able to see them moving organically and simultaneously.

Of course, it was nice that humanity would become one sooner than expected, but on the other hand, it was worrisome.

Anything in a hurry would have side effects.

At that point, we had to discuss how to fight together and gather our strength, but there was no doubt out in the process.

Considering that the relationships could become shaky after the battle was over, it bothered me a bit. Of course, what was more unpleasant than that thought was my current situation.

‘But there is still some time left.’

Basically, all of the Federation’s metropolitan cities that Belial used as his territory were in darkness, so they had no choice but to light it up with divine power.

It was still too early to reach Amera, considering that they had to target all the places they thought were the middle bases. It could be said that that was the reason I put managers and bosses in the middle.

The basic framework of the federal recapture strategy was to reveal the map step by step.

It was a gimmick where the 27th Corps’s basic stats would decrease in places other than Belial’s territory would also be laid in advance.

Unless the Continental Alliance’s strategy team were made up of idiots, they would proceed by following the phases.

‘You have to prepare perfectly.’

Nevertheless, as more time passed by, the situation became something I was becoming nervous about.

It wasn’t like me, but I couldn’t help but be pressured because there were so many things at stake. As I walked, I continued to think about

It was certainly a little relieving to see Limur.

She was one of the Four Demon Generals who would be managing the Amera area.

Without abandoning her tentacles, her understanding of her character was perfect.

Everything was flawlessly expressed.

-What do you think…?

“Limur has nothing to be concerned of. You’re great at this. I never imagined for the location itself to be covered with tentacles… It looks moderately grotesque and moderately cruel… If a human with a weak heart were to come here, they would probably collapse from the moment they entered this place.”

-No. It still isn’t enough, because I couldn’t properly handle the details… Could you please tell me how much time we have left?

“If we think about it a little loosely, you can think that you have about four days left. However, it could happen as early as two days. The whole rehearsal will start the day before. Out of curiosity, can you tell me again what Limur’s role is?”

-Of course, I’m familiar with it, Lee Kiyoung. By setting, is it correct that I am extracting the magic power that can sustain all the demons summoned from the Legion from the humans in Amera and Lee Kiyoung’s body?

“Oh, that’s the right answer. It seems that I was worried for nothing.”

-It’s natural to be worried, considering the situation going on right now. Most of all, I liked the character setup that Lee Kiyoung made. It’s a gimmick that goes well with my lovely tentacles, so I can’t help but genuinely like it. Thank you for making this new setting, Lee Kiyoung.

“It’s my job to play a good role for a capable actor. You don’t have to be so thankful. Haha, this is always something I say. Limur’s role is more important than anything else in this plan. If the warehouse where the humans are gathered is robbed, the summoning itself will not be established. In fact, this is where the plan begins and ends.”

-I am aware of the heavy responsibility accompanying my role. I can only appreciate this opportunity. If this goes well, I’m going to create a power that absorbs magic power with tentacles. I don’t know if I can achieve that much performance, however.

“Hahaha. That power would go well with you.”

-Oh, more importantly, Lee Kiyoung. Come to think of it, Donovan seems to be doing nothing. Is he uncooperative? If he is…

“Ah. Don’t worry. In fact, I didn’t allocate an area to Donovan.”

-What? Why…

“Donovan’s role isn’t defensive, so there is no need to prepare separately here. Well, you’re going to be the first one to hear about this, but Donovan is going to directly hit the main army of humans gathered at the joint training center.”

-Ah

“There is no one which suits the role of giving us the maximum time and impact in the first battle as Donovan, after all.”

-Although it definitely suits him, I am a little worried. He’s not bad, but basically, the disposition itself is very different. Honestly, letting him join this job felt strange. He’s not someone who enjoys this kind of thing.

“Hahaha. I thought of it that way as well, but Belial decided that it would be okay to trust Donovan at least once. He’s been working hard for the Corps.”

-Are the other areas ready?

“It’s still not enough, but I think I’ve finished it all somehow. I even finished the whole picture. However, there are still many parts to deal with…”

-If there is anything I can do to help…

“No. You only need to focus on your role. You don’t have to worry about anything else. You’re the protagonist of this project…”

-That makes me feel flattered.

“It’s a position that Limur has earned. You can be a little more confident. If you work hard on the ground prepared by the managers, you will, of course, be recognized. Limur is someone familiar with what must be done.”

Elation naturally entered into my anxious mind little by little. It was exactly three hours later that my happiness had taken a hit.

-Lee Kiyoung.

“Yes.”

-Um… An army of humans is approaching Belial’s territory. W-What should we do?

“What?”

‘How are they so fast? Fuck.’

This was far earlier than the expected deadline.

‘How did they suddenly become quicker?’
