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



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.

Floid turned around in disinterest and he continued his walk toward the palace in the middle of the kingdom. He only wanted to kill the Grand Commander, but it seems his strength was too much for the humans and he ended up killing them all.

Floid actually just wanted to take care of his former teacher himself. Floid might be a demon right now, but he still has the same zeal for action and adventure games that he used to play as a human! Those games always had the scene where the student and teacher would either fight together or face off against each other and once Floid saw the Grand Commander, he felt like it was his right to kill that man. If Floid didn't see the Grand Commander, then he wouldn't have ever thought of him and he wouldn't even care about his death. But this was far more enjoyable to Floid.

Floid didn't mean to take the pleasure of killing all those humans away from his troops, but he would allow them to enjoy the spoils. Maybe he'll hold back a bit more next time. He already forgot how fragile humans were.

......

Priscilla stormed through the door of the throne room and started to move towards the inner chambers where her room was! Al was following behind Priscilla and he had a terrified expression on his face as he tried his best not to be left behind because of how fast Priscilla was walking! Al was terrified of Priscilla already and her bad mood was just making things worse! Where the hell is this woman going to!?

Boom!!

Another great explosion rocked the entire palace and Al yelped as he stumbled to the ground! He quickly scrambled to get back to his feet and he looked up to see that Priscilla was still walking quickly towards her room. She didn't even bother to turn around and see if he was okay. This heartless queen! At least check to see if your subordinate survived! If I die here, aren't you afraid that I'll haunt you forever!?

Priscilla didn't care for Al at all. And even if he died right now, she wouldn't even remember his name after a few months. The only thing on her mind right now was getting to her room and using that seal that her father showed her a long time ago to summon that person.

In Uta, there has always been a rumor of a sixth Grand Commander. No one has ever been able to confirm this rumor because no one has seen him before, but Priscilla knows that this man exists.

The former king of Uta - Priscilla's father, Ronald - told Priscilla about the mysterious Grand Commander a long time ago. The Grand Commander's name was Leviathan. He was a very secluded person that hated to show himself in public. Even when Uta was at war with Aquinas a long time ago and also when the three human kingdoms were at war with the demons, Leviathan never bothered to show himself. He didn't care for human interaction and he didn't want to ever be involved in politics.

Priscilla's father told her that he used every method to try and lure Leviathan into the war. He promised him money, girls, and land! Everything that a man could want! But the Grand Commander refused all of it! Why would someone refuse all these things when they were given to him so freely? The answer was something that no one knew. But Priscilla's father told her that if Uta were ever on the brink of destruction. If they ever faced a threat that they could not hope to survive against unless they receive help from Leviathan, then Priscilla should use this seal and she will be able to summon him. Priscilla's father already struck a deal with Leviathan and this was the only way he would help them.

The seal will not work unless the situation was at its worst and Priscilla knew that this was the worst situation they could ever be in! Priscilla hated to depend on others like this. She didn't know what sort of person Leviathan was and from the way her father described him, she knew that it would be impossible to control that man. That is why she tried to avoid a situation like this! She called a hero and she even sent out her soldiers to fight the demon king hoping that they would win!

But they were all useless and not even a single one of them came back alive! If those useless fools and that idiotic hero did their job then we wouldn't be in this position! I wouldn't have to depend on someone like this!

Priscilla got to her room and threw the door open before hurrying towards the bookcase! She found a particular book and pulled it out!

Groan!!

A loud groan echoed through the room as the bookcase started to move! Priscilla took a step back and turned around as she heard someone enter the room while panting heavily from tiredness! Al held onto the door tiredly and he tried his best to catch his breath and Priscilla spoke with a scowl.

"You lazy fool. Why were you so far behind me? What if something happened to me while I was coming here? Is this how you will protect your queen?"

Al was still breathing heavily and he didn't even have the energy to scowl at Priscilla for what she said! This crazy bitch left me back there to die and now she is criticizing me for not rushing after her!? What sort of superhuman do you think I am!? What the fuck can I do even if we're attacked right now!? You're even stronger than me!

Priscilla was an SS-class potions master and she didn't have as much physical strength as an SS-class that focuses on physical battle, but even as a potions master, she still had enough strength to rival any A-class adventurer. Al knew that in a contest of strength, she would pulverize him! He wasn't even a B-class! The only thing he had going for him was his knowledge!

This was the only reason why Priscilla kept him for so long. Se found his wide array of knowledge to be very useful and she knew he was weaker than her so she could bully him into submission no matter what. Priscilla was just the kind of person that enjoys being in control of everything around her.

"S-Sorry, your majesty,"

Al stammered out this response between tired breaths and he tried to stand up straight with a loud sigh of exertion! This much running can't be good for his health! This was the first time he has ever run in ages! Where the hell are all the servants!?

"Don't just stand there you useless Buffon! Let's go!"

Priscilla's cruel tone snapped Al out of his thoughts and he saw as she started to move down the dark stairs behind the bookshelf. Al groaned and he finally rose himself up to full height and followed after her. If he survived this, then he will definitely ask for a raise! He can't go through all this with this scary woman and only be getting that much money!

No, wait... She is terrifying and I don't think she'll be happy if I ask for a raise all of a sudden. I'll just steal from the treasury and say the demons took it. Yeah, that's safer.

The room they walked into was only dimly lit, but Al could see a table in the middle of the room with a book on top of it. Priscilla quickly moved towards the book and she restarted to furiously flip through the pages. She continued like this for almost a minute until she finally got to the page she was looking for.

There was a magic communication circle drawn on the page and Al didn't recognize any of the symbols that were there at all! It all seemed so ancient and none of the symbols he learned from school could be seen there! But this is definitely a communication circle! It had the look and shape of a communication circle. What is Priscilla trying to do with this!?

Priscilla rose her hand to the air and she quickly started to pour out mana while drawing the magic circle in the air. Once she got it. she put it on her ear and she spoke up.

"Leviathan!! Leviathan, this is your queen talking! We are under attack from demons and our troops have suffered major damage! We need you to come to the kingdom this instant! That is a direct order!"

Silence!

There was complete silence in the room and Al wondered if Priscilla had finally run mad. Who the fuck is Leviathan and why is she asking him to come to the kingdom? The only person that Priscilla would be calling to help is a Grand Commander, but all the Grand Commanders are currently in the kingdom, aren't they?

Al was Priscilla's closest advisor and he was also the only person in the kingdom that she tells almost everything! There was no dirty secret that Al didn't know in this kingdom. Mostly because he was the one in charge of getting rid of the evidence after Priscilla was done with whatever she wanted to do. Even when Priscilla killed her father, Al was in charge of purchasing and delivering the poison that she used as well as making sure no one found out about what Priscilla did.

So Al was shocked that he didn't know who Priscilla was calling. Is this person so important that Priscilla didn't even tell me about him?

"Leviathan!! Answer me right now! Leviathan!!!"

The desperation in Priscilla's voice was very clear and Al became worried that she would start breaking things if she didn't calm down. He mustered all the courage he could find inside him and spoke up to Priscilla in a calm voice.

"Y-Your Highness... M-Maybe you should say "Please"?"

The room went silent immediately after Al spoke and Al gulped as he saw Priscilla turn her narrowed eyes towards him. Fuck! Why the fuck did he say anything! She looks pissed!!

Priscilla spoke up with an expression of disbelief and shock.

"I should say what?"
