”Corey Park?” Wyatt exclaimed looking at the female devil. He couldnʼt believe his eyes. 

The corpse devil Agonyʼs red-skinned slender body with ample curves resembled Wyatt of the fiery shapely ego fire of Corey Bright. Speaking of which the red-skinned devil looked a like Mature Corey. Yes, the ego fire did not have to show a pair of enormous bat wings however Corey Bright did reveal an armored lizard tail when she entered her devil form during the semi-finals of the tournament. 

There was no mistaking it, the devil in front of Wyatt shared an uncanny appearance with Corey Park, the adult version of Corey Bright. With so much evidence pointing it, Wyatt decided to settle it by going throught the female devilʼs soul pathway arrangements. To his surprise, he found the most astonishing thing. The female devil had the mutated version of Titled Demon Core that Corey Bright had. 

Going through the female devilʼs soul pathways, Wyatt immediately found that she was a Corpse Puppet that gained spirituality and was born as a Corpse Devil since the corpse puppet was of SSS rank. 

Wyatt knew very little about Corey Park but the knew enough to know that Corey Park was one of the past lives of Corey Bright who lived in the dark realm. With this, Wyatt guessed that after Corey Parkʼs death, someone used her corpse to create an SSS-rank Corpse Puppet which later gained spirituality and was born as the Female Corpse Devil in front of him. From the looks of it that someone was non other than Belphegor. Prompting Wyatt to wonder if there was any relationship between Belphegor and Corey Park. 

”How do you know that name?” Belphegor asked Wyatt in utter disbelief. It has been centuries since anyone uttered the name Corey Park after her death at his hands. Except for some of her loyal subordinates that had managed to escape his hands, nobody even remembers that name. 

Listening to Wyatt utter that name, Belphegor suddenly saw the war that happened almost a millennium ago flash in front of his eyes. Even though he was no longer a mere demon prince and had become a devil, the terror of Corey Park and her demon army was still fresh in his mind. 

Though it was a hard pill to swallow Belphegor knew If not for the devil merchant code and his alignment with other demon princes of the dark realm in that era, he would not have been able to defeat her. Instead, he would have died and Corey Park would have become the devil. 

”Father, he said that name should I kill him or have him join my army too?” Female Devil Agony asked Belphegor, as he had instructed her to gain the trust of all those that call her Corey Park and she couldnʼt she should kill them as they would be their enemies. 

Since the female corpse devil possessed the corporal form of Corey Park, Parkʼs allies and subordinates that had managed to survive the devil succession war of the demon princes after Parkʼs death reached out to Agony believing that she was Corey Park. They were not to be blamed for such a stupid misunderstanding because if not for Parkʼs pet snake Baem following Agony around as it did with Park, they would have been skeptical of the Agonyʼs identity. 

So far those who reached out to Agony thinking she was Park either chose to follow Agonyʼs army or die and join Park in the river of souls. It was not a surprise that they figured out Agony was not Park but that was too late for them backway as they only had two options. Some chose loyalty some chose survival, neither was to be blamed. 

It was obvious, that Belphegor knew things would turn out like this when saw the birth of Agony that was why he had asked her to kill all of the allies of Park if they were not willing to join her demon army.

”No, you are not his match, take the snake and go handle those flies. Leave him to me,” Belphegor said with his eyes staring at Wyatt. He could not figure out why the name that was supposed to be forgotten in the pages of history was spoken by Wyatt after almost a millennium since her death. But seeing how the damned snake dared to rebel and even refused to follow Agonyʼs orders for Wyatt, it seemed less surprising that Wyatt knew that name.

”Baem, you heard father, letʼs go,” Agony was very frustrated and irritated by Baemʼs actions, this was the first time she felt angry at Baem. Seeing her not leave the humanʼs side she got yelled, ”Come over here, now!” 

However, to Agonyʼs dismay, Baem continued to be by Wyattʼs side. Seeing this Agony was devastated and loved Baem too much to harm her so all her anger shifted onto Wyatt the reason Why Baem was going against her, ”You, it must be you. What black magic did you use on Baem? Human, release her this instant.”

”Hiss,” seeing Agony blame Wyatt Baem finally lifted her head and made eye contact with Agony. Looking into Baemʼs hypnotic gaze Agony was devastated because she saw tears roll out of Baemʼs eyes and stain her pure white scales. 

Agony panicked as this was the first time seeing the pain in Baemʼs eyes. She could not believe Baemʼs hypnotic eyes hide such pain inside them. Agony did not understand what was happening but feeling Baemʼs pain her frustration and irritation toward Baem instantly vanished and once again she started to feel emotions that were not natural to a devil. It was compassion and sympathy but those words never existed in her dictionary. 

Right now all she wanted to do was console Baem and share her pain but she did not know how. She did not even know what were the feelings she feeling right now. As devil violence and brutality were natural to her but the current feelings she was feeling only confused her she did not have enough life experience to understand them. 

Belphegor had made sure of it by constantly brainwashing her, ”Agony, just get the damned snake to stand down already.”
