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

[Come to the lab. We have work to do]

Andromeda nodded and slithered out to the lab. Andromeda was not going to be scared of this anymore! Right now, what she wanted the most was for the demon lord to be proud of her! She was still scared of the demon lord being disappointed, but instead of running away, she just has to prove herself to him and that would solve everything!

.........

A straight line of light was drawn in space and it widened and opened up into a portal. Floid walked out from the portal and looked around the surrounding calmly. There were trees and bushes all around him and he realized that they had landed in a forest. The sounds of birds chirping in the trees and the dull voices that were coming from a distant town made the first seem very peaceful!

Alucard, Rosavellt, Quinn, Dragonnel, and Pyra were already waiting for Floid and they all bowed once he came out into the forest.

"Where is this?"

Floid asked this question curiously and Dragonnel answered the question with a lot of pride in his voice. Floid could tell that Dragonnel really loved this place.

"This is the forest outside my territory master. It is known as the forest of the sun."

"The forest of the sun?"

Floid rose a curious brow once he heard Dragonnel say this. Floid looked through the forest and he could see something white in the distance! That is the direction where the noises were coming from, and Floid realized that there was a town in that direction! But why is it white?

"Is that town covered in snow?"

Floid asked Dragonnel this question as he activated [True Sight] and increased his vision so that he would see what was in the distance and Dragonnel nodded proudly.

"This forest is called the forest of the sun because it demarcates the land of ice from the rest of Volcanica. My territory is just beyond the forest."

Dragonnel asked Floid to follow him and Floid simply put his hand behind his back and followed behind Dragonnal. The forest was filled with exotic animals that Floid had never seen before and he couldn\'t help but stare at some of them. Quinn was also staring at all of them and she looked a lot more excited than Floid! She touched some of the trees and she even tried to catch a bird that flew past her. She barely missed it before it got away and she frowned in annoyance.

Quinn pouted and she started to walk again, but Rosavellt spoke up from behind her before she could go too far.

"Behave yourself and don\'t show such a childish act to the demon lord. When we reach the town, you will be seen as one of the members of the prestigious maids. Act like one."

Quinn nodded meekly and she followed after Rosavellt as Rosavellt followed behind Floid. Quinn saw Floid reach out and touch one of the flowers and she grinned as she turned to Rosavellt smugly! See! Even Floid liked to touch the flowers! This was just too amazing for her not to touch them! This place was just so different from Earth that Quinn couldn\'t help her excitement! When she was on Aradite, she was too focused on killing Floid that she never got a chance to enjoy the fact that she was in a fantasy world! This place was just amazing!

But Rosavellt ignored her look, and she kept walking.

"Don\'t consider yourself to be on the same level as the demon lord. We are his servants, so we have no right to question his decisions."

Quinn frowned once Rosavellt said this and she just stayed silent for the rest of the walk. Floid could hear everything that they were saying behind him and he didn\'t really care if Quinn was playing around a little! Floid understood how uptight Rosavellt was and he also knew how Quinn must feel being in a place like this! For both Floid and Quinn, this is a new world that they have never been to before! The other members of Floid\'s household have all been to mystical or mythical places and this might not seem like a big deal to them, but to Floid and Quinn, it is definitely a big deal!

The group walked for about three minutes before they finally stepped on white snow. The temperature suddenly dropped exponentially and there was a chilly wind blowing through the surrounding as they all reached Dragonnel\'s territory.

Dragonnel turned around with a smile.

"My lord, welcome to -"

Boom!!

A loud explosion suddenly went off behind Dragonnel and he had to stop talking and he turned around in shock! What the hell was that? This was the only thought going through Dragonne\'s head at the moment! Who would dare to attack them? Snow flew all over the area from the explosion, and as it dropped, it revealed a group of people standing close to the edge of Dragonnel\'s territory. They all had magic circles at their hands and it was the woman in front that fired that first explosion. She walked forward cautiously and spoke.

"I\'ll only say this to you once. This is claimed land and you are trespassing. If you value your life, then you will leave."

The woman waited for a response from them, but when they didn\'t say anything, she took another step forward and began to gather mana for a second volley of spells. She is the leader of the village that settled on this territory a hundred years ago, Elias\' sister, Eliss. After the dragons were killed by the former demon lord along with most of the dragon slayers, the survivors took refuge in various territories. The dragons that once lived there stored a large amount of meat and metal in their territory, so the people used that to survive for a while before they were able to stand on their own two feet. This was the reason why a lot of the humans in Volcanica didn\'t die off. They leached off the loot that the dragons left behind and use that to survive.

This territory belonged to Eliss and the people that she stayed here with! Everyone in Volcanica knew that this is their territory, so she didn\'t hold back as she activated another spell. A ball of highly compressed wind exploded out from the magic circle and blasted towards Dragonnel, and Eliss\' eyes widened when he didn\'t even move out of the way!

Boom!!

The ball slammed into him and blew snow everywhere and Eliss narrowed her eyes and waited to see what happened! She was sure that there would be at least some damage from that! That kill was an SS rank skill, and as far as Eluss knew, there is no one capable of handling that kind of skill around here.

[Bloodlust]

"Hrk!"

Eliss suddenly took a step back in fear as a huge amount of bloodlust fell upon the area! The snow cleared and Eliss saw that Dragonnel hadn\'t even moved from his position! But the glare that he was giving her would have been enough to kill any regular person.

"You dare? You fucking dare!? You trash dare to attack my lord!?"

Dragonnel was seething in anger! The happiness that he felt when he came here to show his lord this territory was no longer there and it was now replaced with a burning anger deep in his soul! This was an embarrassment! It was like a slap to his face! Some ants came to stop him from entering his own territory and they dared to attack the demon lord right in front of him! Dragonnel was not going to let this slide! He was going to kill all of them!

Dragonnel tightened his hands into fists and he fell to one knee and spoke to the demons lord.

"I apologize my lord. I seem to have an infestation upon my land. I will get rid of them as quickly as possible. Please forgive my oversight, I should have confirmed this before I brought you here."

Floid hummed and he looked down at Dragonnel. Floid was not the sort of person that cared about other people\'s business. But this territory belonged to Dragonnel, and by extension, that meant it belonged to Floid! Floid already understood what was happening here and he knew that these humans didn\'t get Dragonnel\'s permission before they came into this land.

But Floid was also aware that the humans didn\'t know that it belonged to Dragonnel. They must\'ve just thought that this land was free and they decided to use it however they wanted. Dragonnel had been on ice for more than five hundred years, so it was understandable that they would not even know that he was alive.

Floid was a benevolent leader, so he will tamper justice with mercy.

"Half of them."
