How To Be A Demon lord: The Former Hero's Journey As A Demon Lord!



Dragonnel laughed at the soldiers and they were all terrified by hearing the dragon laugh. They watched as Dragonnel looked down at all of them and he grunted as some ice smoke came out the side of his mouth.

Fwoooooh~!

Just his breath was enough to freeze the air around him and the soldiers all immediately knew that something was about to happen and they screamed at each other to retreat! They had to leave before Dragonnel did what he wanted to do! The soldiers and humans started to run, but Dragonnel didn't let a single one escape as he opened his mouth and released his dragon's breath!

"ROARRRRR!!!!"

Boom!!!

A huge wave of ice and cold slammed into the ground where the soldiers were standing, and when the smoke cleared, there were only ice sculptures where there were once humans! The humans had all been frozen and their looks of fear and terror were still on their faces as they stood in place. Dagonnel liked the look of the ice sculpture and he admired it for a moment before the ice sculpture started to crack before all of them broke into millions of pieces, killing everyone inside the ice!

"ROARRRRRR!!"

Dragonnel didn't stop his ice breath and he turned and kept on freezing as many people as possible from where he was. After a few seconds, he finally stopped and shifted around a bit on the roof as more icy smoke came out from the side of his mouth. Dragonnel nodded at his work before he turned around to look for where Quinn was. He saw Quinn running in the direction of the church while dodging any human or demon that tried to get in her way.

The demon lord only asked Dragonnel to watch and make sure she didn't get into any trouble. I'll keep fighting the other soldiers while watching her. It might be interesting to see her use that holy sword for the first time.

....

Floid started to make his way deeper inside the kingdom with Alucard and Rosavellt beside him. He didn't bother looking around to see what his demons were doing. This was nighttime and Floid knew for a fact that the humans never expected them to attack. They had both the element of surprise and the superior fighting force.

Floid was sure that there weren't any humans around that could threaten the demons except the Grand Commanders. Once Floid thought about this, he remembered that he sent Pyra to go and find the mysterious Grand Commander. Floid wondered if it would be easy for her to find him. Pyra was not a good sensor and she didn't have any skills that would help her detect other people.

If Pyra wants to find the Grand Commander then she might have to depend on someone else to help her find him. Floid shrugged once he thought about this and he continued moving. He was sure that Pyra would think of a way to overcome that issue on her own.

Boom!

Boom!

Slam!

Floid turned around and looked towards his left as he heard a loud sound of something slamming into the ground! There was a large man over there that had very shiny armor around his body! He had a great sword in his hand and there was a heavy glare on his face as he sliced up a goblin that tried to get close to him!

"ROARRRRR!!!"

A giant roared from behind the armored man and tried to slam into him with its club, but the man dodged around it and sliced his sword through the giant's knee before kicking it to the ground and stabbing it in the back of its head!

Squelch!!!!

The man drew his sword out from the Giants head and then shouted out to the other soldiers to follow his lead! The humans all around the man started to cheer for him as they watched him charging forward to fight against more demons!

"It's a grand commander! He's here to save us!"

"Look, even a giant was no match for him! He killed it in seconds!"

"The grand commander will save us!"

"Master, shall I go cull that trash?"

The person that spoke up last was Rosavellt and she was already prepared to get her sword and shield from her spatial space so that she could kill that piece of trash. Rosavellt knew that the Grand Commander would be a problem for the army and none of them can handle that man easily! It would be pointless to think that those mere soldiers can fight against a Grand Commander on their own. Leaving him alone would reduce their forces and weaken them! They can't let that happen! Rosavellt would happily cut him down for her master!

But Floid rose his hand and he started to walk towards where the Grand Commander was. Both Alucard and Rosavellt were surprised that the demon lord wanted to take care of this himself, but they had no right to question him and they simply fell in line and followed after him.

Floid had a small smirk on his face as he walked toward the Grand Commander and he smiled even wider as he saw the man using one of the techniques that floid was familiar with! He couldn't believe this Grand Commander still lived after all these years. But I suppose he is too strong to die just like that.

As Floid got closer to where the Grand Commander was fighting, the man immediately stopped and turned around in shock! The grand commander was an SS-class being! No matter how stupid you are, once you get to the SS-class level of power, you will begin to recognize other strong individuals once you see them! And the Grand Commander could tell that Floid was strong! And not just Floid, but also Rosavellt and Alucard were strong! They were nothing like the little demons he had been fighting all this time! The other demons were ants when compared to these three monsters! This must be their leader.

He immediately walked forward as he stood right opposite Floid and looked down at him! The Grand Commander knew that Floid was strong, but he didn't know how strong he was. But there is no way he would be stronger than me.

The Grand Commander never even thought for a moment that Floid would be above the SS-class. There hasn't been an SSS-class being in centuries and I've never heard of an SSS-class demon. The Grand Commander snarled in anger as he spoke to Floid.

"Are you the leader of these demons, boy?"

Alucard's hand twitched in agitation and Rosavellt snarled in anger as they heard this piece of trash refer to their lord as a mere boy! But they had to reign in their anger since Floid already decided to handle this himself.

Floid smiled at the grand commander and he finally spoke up with a calm voice. It was like the Grand Commander didn't even insult him at all.

"I knew a lot of people wouldn't recognize me, but you of all people. I at least expected you to recognize me. After all, your training was what allowed me to become the so-called hero the first time around,"

Yes, this man had been Floids trainer when he was still the hero and Floid couldn't let anyone kill him before they spoke like this.

The Grand Commander narrowed his eyes! What nonsense is this boy spouting?! Does he think he can play mind games with me and make me lower my guard?

But the more the Grand Commander looked at the Floid, the more he had a feeling that he has seen Floid somewhere before. Floid looked very familiar and the Grand Commander's eyes slowly started to widen as he thought about what Floid just said!

There is only one person that this Grand Commander has trained before he trained Quinn and that person became the most successful hero that went on to defeat the female demon lord from before! No matter how you look at this, this boy is Floid! The Grand Commander spoke up again, but this time there was surprise and disappointment in his voice.

"Floid? What in the world have you done to yourself? How dare you do something like this after everything we sacrificed to defeat these demons before!? You joined them even after everything we went through to defeat them!?"

Floid smiled once the Grand Commander called his name and he allowed the Grand Commander's words to wash over him like water. He didn't care for the thoughts of humans. And he didn't care about what the Grand commander thought of him. So, what if he is killing all the people that he protected once?

If you look at it objectively, Floid could do whatever he wanted with the lives of these humans. He saved them, therefore it is his choice if he wants to kill them. It isn't like this place belongs to the humans. Before the humans settled here, the demons already owned this land. Floid was simply giving back the land to its rightful owners.

The Grand commander frowned at Floids smile and he spat at Floid's feet in disgust as he spoke angrily.

"You're nothing but trash"

[Bloodlust has been activated]

[Bloodlust has been activated]

[Bloodlust has been activated]

Floid, Rosavellt, and Alucard all activated their Bloodlust at the same time once they saw what the man did but Floid's bloodlust overshadowed everyone else's and slammed into the soldiers!

The weaker soldiers around immediately passed out from the bloodlust while the strongest ones were thrown down to their knees in pain! The Grand Commander grunted and took a single step back. That was a lot of pressure!

Once Floid activated his bloodlust, the system immediately saw the Grand Commander and every other soldier as Floids opponents and activated the [Passive Parasite] skill.

[-2 HP]

[-2 HP]

[-2 HP]

The Grand Commander's brow furrowed in shock as he started to feel something happening to his body. There was no one attacking him, but he could feel himself getting weaker! He was losing HP even though he wasn't fighting!

The effects were very small for him and there wouldn't be any long-term damage from it, but it was enough to make him worry! What was happening?

"Ugh!"

"Argh..."

People behind the Grand Commander started falling to the ground in pain as their HP was eaten away by Floids skill. The Grand Commander could only look around in surprise as his army started to fall.

The Grand Commander had no idea that this was an effect of one of Floid's skills. [Passive Parasite] allowed Floid to remove 0.5% of his opponent's HP every second while they are fighting. This effect will only work against opponents that are weaker than Floid while stronger opponents will be able to shrug off the skill.

At this rate, it wouldn't take up to three minutes before the Grand Commander drops dead without Floid doing anything!

Floid put his hand to the side and a magic circle opened.

[Cursed Katana] has been equipped.

Floid drew out the katana that he took from Valkyrie after killing her. Floid would have drawn out his demon sword, but he knew that this man wasn't worth it. The demon sword only needs to be drawn when a worthy opponent is in front of Floid. For now, this toy will be enough.

"You trained me once upon a time and I thought I should give you an honorable death so when you go to meet the others in the afterlife, you can brag that you died a warrior's death. But I've decided you don't deserve such an honor. You'll die like an ant,"

The Grand Commander slammed his foot on the ground and snarled at Floid while pointing his large broadsword at him. Who does this little boy think he is talking to!?

"Do you have amnesia from what happened the last time we fought boy!? Don't forget who it was that taught you everything you know! If you think that you are some big shot because you have an army behind you, then I'll remind you that it takes more than numbers to win a war!"

The Grand Commander couldn't take the insult to himself once he found out who Floid was! The Grand Commander was the one that trained Floid and Floid dared to challenge him!?

The stronger men standing behind the Grand Commander who also weren't affected too much by the passive Parasite skill were immediately motivated by his shout and they started to feel the adrenaline flowing through them as they felt that they stood a chance as long as the Grand Commander wins!

"Yeargghhhh!!!!"

"Let's goooooo! Show them they can't mess with humans!"

" If they challenge us, then we'll bring the fight right back to them!"

Floid swung the sword!

Slice!

Silence!

The entire field suddenly fell silent and before long, bodies started to fall.

Plop!

Splash!

Plop!

Plop!

Splash!

Squelch!

All the bodies of the soldiers standing in front of Floid had been split in two before they could even know what happened! The Grand Commander was still in the middle of raising his sword to tell his soldiers to attack when his upper body separated from his lower body and fell to the ground with a thud!

Floid still had the same look of boredom on his face as he looked down at the large pool of blood that was gathering at his feet. There were organs all over the place and some of the demons from his army were coming closer to the carcasses to start eating them.

The Grand Commander's wide eyes stared up at Floid and Floid placed his foot on the Grand Commander's head as he spoke.

"Like I said. Just like an ant,"

Floid pressed his foot down and a loud Squelch! echoed through the battlefield!
