How to become a Demon Lord: The Former Hero's Journey as a Demon Lord!

Freya scoffed at the expression on her head guard as she went back to sitting alone. She didn't even bother talking to these idiots. None of them deserve to be protected by her. They didn't have the beauty or strength of the hero so why should she go out of her way to protect them?

Bam!

The people in the room suddenly shouted in fear as a great sound echoed through the room! There was someone at the door! The head guard quickly told everyone to calm down! The door was reinforced with Mana stones and nothing less than an SSS-class can break it down! The head guard was sure that none of the demons had that kind of power!

Bang!! Bang! Boom!

Boom!!!

Three more hits echoed through the room before an even greater force slammed into the door and it came crashing down! Everyone's eyes were wide as they saw the blue-haired man standing there.

Dragonnel still had his hand outstretched after he punched the door down. When Dragonnel finished taking care of things in the castle, he received a new order from the demon lord. The demon lord told Dragonnel to find someone for him and Dragonnel was more than happy to oblige.

Dragonnel looked around at all the stunned faces. No one even dared to move or make a sound as they looked at the man that managed to break down the door with his bare fists. The head guard felt his hand shake as he knew that Dragonnel has to be an SSS-class. I can't even move in front of him. A single move will end with me dead.

Dragonnel ignored the mobs and he focused on the beautiful woman sitting behind them. Freya was standing at the back of the room and she had a look of apprehension as she saw Dragonnel walk up to her. Dragonnel didn't even bother to say anything as he immediately grabbed her by the hair and pulled her with him!

"Ouch! What the fuck do you think you're doing!? Do you know who I am!? Get your filthy hand off me!!"

Freya shouted angrily as she was pulled along like an animal! She quickly tried to use magic but a deep pain went through her body as he mana core reacted badly. The magic she used before was still affecting her and she couldn't use magic. And even if she could use magic, she had no chance in a fight with Dragonnel.

She snarked at Dragonnel before she shouted to the head guard!!

"What are you just standing there for! Attack him! Are you going to just stand there and watch!?"

The head guard looked at Dragonnel for a second and Dragonnel just stared at him with an impassive look. Come on. I dare you. This was what Dragonnel was saying silently and the head guard immediately lowered his head in fear and retreated! Freya felt her teeth grind in anger! She knew she should have chosen another guard! This man is so useless! What kind of guard allows their client to be taken like this!?

Dragonnel opened a blue portal in front of him as he threw Freya inside. All the people in the room could only keep silent as they watched him kidnap the priestess. They have all received a lot of blessings and help from the priestess, but they can only think of protecting themselves against someone like Dragonnel. They will sacrifice the priestess if it means they will get to live!

"They're all yours. Don't let a single one live,"

Dragonnel said this just before he walked through the portal. The people in the room were all confused. What does he mean by that?

A roar echoed from the door as a large hoard of demons charged for the citizens! The demons have been waiting respectfully for Dragonnel to carry out the demon lord's orders, and now that he gave them the freedom, they can do whatever they wanted! The citizens could only feel fear as the demons rushed in to attack!

.....

Lilith ran through the streets as she looked for Ophis. She was able to finish the archers at the towers easily and she now needs to find Ophis! Lilith knows that Ophis wouldn't stay in one place and she would be on the move, which would make it harder to find her. Ophis will surely be looking for the demon lord to try to meet him. Ophis doesn't know that the demon lord is the former hero and it would be very bad if Ophis meets the demon lord without knowing who he is! Ophis has always been a very rash person and it wouldn't be a surprise if she shouts at the demon lord once she figures out who it is.

Lilith still remembers how Rizi reacted when she insulted the demon lord. The demon lord's household would not spare Ophis at all if she does anything like that.

Lilith climbed to the top of a building by the side of the road and she looked around. There were a lot of demons on the streets who were finishing up with the humans, so Lilith had to strain herself to find Ophis! There! Lilith saw someone with purple hair and large horns running towards the castle! That is surely Ophis and she is even going to the castle as I predicted! Ophis was too predictable!

Lilith immediately jumped off the building and it was easy for her to catch up to Ophis from behind! Ophis turned around sharply once she felt someone touch her shoulder! She took on a defensive stance as she thought that it was a human, but her eyes lit up in joy once she saw Lilith! She hugged Lilith happily!

"Lilith! You're here too!?"

Lilith nodded happily as she accepted the hug. She even felt like crying. Lilith didn't know if Ophis would be alive and she was only looking for Ophis with blind hope, but she was very happy that Ophis survived.

Ophis and Lilith were as close as sisters and they were both very happy that they found each other again! Ophis immediately noticed the outfit that Lilith was wearing and she was surprised. Is this not the maid's outfit for the servants of the demon lord? Does that mean that Lilith is a servant of the demon lord?

Ophis asked this question and Lilith nodded confidently! Even if she was only a servant, it was still a great honor for her to be a servant to the demon lord. She didn't feel any sort of shame about it. She regrets not accepting to join his household, but she was still a higher rank than many other demons as a servant

Instead of being angry or sad that her former general was now a servant to the demon lord, Ophis couldn't stop herself from being proud of Lilith! Lilith was able to survive even after that damn hero took everything from them! It is great that she is a servant to the demon lord. At least Lilith wasn't living on the street.

"Where is he!? I need to meet the demon lord! I'm sure that he will accept me as a subordinate as well! I can help him a lot if I join him!"

Ophis was excited! She was so happy that the demons were winning again and she could finally get off the streets and live like a demon again! She expected Lilith to be happy, but she was confused when Lilith's face squeezed into a complex expression. Ophis knew something was wrong!
