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

Ophis sighed as she walked towards her home in the upper district of the kingdom of Uta. It was late night right now and she just finished her part-time shift working at the market. It has now been two weeks since she sent the message to the demon lord telling him about the chance that the demons will have to invade Uta, and she received a message back from Alucard that the demon lord received her message and has made the necessary arrangements. The message was short and straight to the point and Ophis didn\'t expect anything less from the son of that man.

Ophis had actually planned to ask the messenger what the demon lord said about the message that she sent to him along with the news of the invasion. Ophis asked Floid if he would grant her a gift for all her hard work. She wanted to use this opportunity to try and get her magic core back if the demon lord agrees to reward her. But once Ophis saw that it was Alucard\'s familiar who delivered the message, she didn\'t even try to ask the question.

Alucard was the demon lord\'s right hand and Ophis hadn\'t interacted with him more than three times in her entire life. It is only the maids that she has spoken with for a long time and Ophis didn\'t know what sort of person Alucard was. But from the way he speaks about the demon lord and his personality, I can tell that he is no different from his father that served my father. Emotions have nothing to do with their job and they will eradicate anything that insults or threatens their master. It would be stupid if I try and appeal to someone like him.

Ophis shivered when she suddenly remembered the one time that she accidentally stumbled into the torture chamber when Alucard\'s father was handling a prisoner. The prisoner was screaming as blood gushed out from his empty eye sockets and Alucard\'s father had his hand deep inside the man\'s stomach as he groped around his intestines! When Alucard\'s father noticed her presence, he just brought his hand out and bowed to her like there was nothing wrong with a child seeing what he was doing. That was her first exposure to such intense violence and it gave her an irrational discomfort around vampires.

Ophis didn\'t know if Alucard had the same violent tendencies as his father, and she had no intention of finding out. She didn\'t want to risk losing her life to Alucard because she was rushing things too much. Ophis would just ask Rosavellt or Andromeda about the reward later.

Ophis got to her home and she narrowed her eyes when she noticed a man standing outside her door. It wasn\'t someone that she recognized but the man was wearing a priest\'s robe and sash to show that he was a member of the church of Uta. What the hell is he doing in front of my house? Don\'t tell me that fucking head priest sent him to meet me.

The man standing in front of Ophis\' house was named Richards and Ophis was right that he was a messenger sent by the head priest from the church. Richards didn\'t know why the head priest wanted to see Ophis, but he was instructed not to allow Ophis go to anywhere unless she follows him! Immediately he saw Ophis, he walked towards her quickly before she could even get near her house and spoke.

"Madam Ophis. Hello, my name is Richards -"

"I don\'t care for your name. What are you doing in front of my house?"

Ophis spoke up before the man could finish and the man bristled in surprise at the coldness in her tone! She doesn\'t even know him and she is already speaking to him in this way? Can\'t she see that I\'m a priest? The people all around the market were right! This woman is extremely beautiful, but her attitude is terrible. How will she even keep a husband if she keeps acting like this toward every man that tries to talk to her?

Ophis was waiting with an annoyed look for the man to speak and he finally spoke up after clearing his throat.

"I bear no ill will towards you. I\'m here to deliver a message to you from the head priest of the church. He requests your presence,"

Once Ophis heard this, she immediately knew what it was about and she moved forward to walk past the priest. She wasn\'t interested in meeting with that bastard at all! How many times do I have to tell him that I am not interested before he realizes that I am disgusted by his mere presence? If he wants to be with a woman so badly, then he should just go and fuck one of his nuns or something!

The priest moved to the side and suddenly blocked Ophis\' path and Ophis turned and glared at him. What the fuck does he think he is doing right now?

Ophis took a step away from Richards and told him to get out of her way! Who does he think he is to stop her from entering her own house? But Richards would not move. He had a hard look on his face as he repeated the message that he told her already.

"The head priest wishes to meet with you. He would be truly pleased if you would grant him a moment of your time,"

"And I told you to fuck off. I\'m not interested in meeting your damn head priest and you don\'t have any right to force me to do anything. Don\'t make me report this to the soldiers,"

There was a slight twitch from the man when Ophis mentioned the soldiers, but he was able to gain his composure quickly and he looked up to something behind Ophis. Ophis narrowed her eyes suspiciously and she quickly turned around as she heard someone coming up from behind her.

"Who the fuck - Mmph!!!! Mphmm!!!!"

Ophis was suddenly grabbed by a large man from behind. A cloth covered her mouth and he hoisted her off her feet like she weighed nothing! Ophis struggled in the man\'s grip and she sent an elbow into the man\'s face to try and get him off her, but she didn\'t have enough strength to hurt the man and she couldn\'t do anything as the man tied the cloth over her mouth before he threw her over his shoulder and carried her away.

Ophis was taken towards the church and then she was brought to a room near the main chamber of the head priest. No one was allowed to enter the main chambers of the head priest, so the men could only drop Ophis here. They made sure that they were not followed by any of the soldiers and they also made sure that none of the citizens outside saw them. Everyone in Uta knew that one of the Grand Commanders was also in love with Ophis and they knew that it would be bad if he finds out that the head priest was taking Ophis like this.

The large man dropped Ophis in a chair in the room and they took the gag out of her mouth before turning to leave the room. Ophis shouted out to the men as they walked out.

"You fucking bastards! Who the fuck do you think you are!? Do you even know who I am!? Hey, look at me when I\'m fucking talking to you!!"

Ophis shouted at the two men loudly, but they didn\'t even bother turning around as they just walked out. Ophis grabbed the wooden chair and threw it at them.

Crash!!

But the door was shut before it could hit them and it only crashed against the door harmlessly and then Ophis heard a click to show that they locked the door! Ophis cursed and slammed her foot in anger!

Once the two priests were outside, the large man that grabbed Ophis grimaced as he touched the bridge of his eyebrow. That elbow that Ophis sent toward his face grazed him and he could still feel the pain from the hit. How can a woman that thin have this much strength?

"Are you bleeding?"

Richards asked the man this question and the man shook his head as the two of them started walking out together. The large man just rubbed his eye a little before he laughed lightly.

"That woman is a feisty one, and damn beautiful too. I can\'t blame the head priest for falling head over heels for that one. You should have felt her body, Richards, you would be amazed how soft she is. Curves in the all the right places and breasts like the softest of pillows,"

Richards laughed as the two of them walked out of the building. He couldn\'t deny that the woman was extremely beautiful and he wished that he was the one that held her to bring her here. Just the thought of pinning her down and forcing himself on her made his lower body jolt and he groaned internally. Maybe he should go find a whore to get rid of this desire before it gets too much. Richards nodded as he finally decided to do just that and he bade farewell to the other man and turned to walk into the town alone.

Back in the room Ophis moved around the room quickly and tried to see if there was any way for her to get out of here. The door was firmly shit and she won\'t be able to break that door down no matter how hard she hit it. The window was also shut and there was some sort of magic barricade around it to prevent anyone from coming in or leaving the room through there. Ophis recognized the magic because the same thing was used in the dungeons below the demon lord\'s castle to prevent the prisoners from escaping from them. It was simple magic, but it was almost impossible to break. Ophis knew how to break out of it, but for her to do that, she would have to inject mana into the shield at just the right place and she didn\'t even have that kind of mana to spare! It would be impossible to break the shield unless her magic core was repaired!

That fucking demon lord. This is the exact situation Ophis has been afraid of all this while! I can\'t even protect myself because my magic core is broken! This is all his fault and he is still punishing me by not fixing my magic core! I know that even if I die here, he wouldn\'t care! If I die here then I\'ll fuckin haunt him for the rest of his life!
