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

Once Lilith didn't respond to Ophis. Ophis knew that there was something wrong. Lilith was hiding something from her. What could she possibly be worried about?

Is it because of my broken Mana core? We can fix that after I join the demon lord. I'm sure the demon lord will have enough mana to heal my magic core so Lilith doesn't have to worry about that. But if it isn't related to my mana core, then why is Lilith looking like there is a big problem?

Lilith could only sigh in her heart as she tried to arrange her thoughts. She didn't know how to tell Ophis about this. How can she tell Ophis that the current demon lord is the former hero? Ophis will go mad from the shock! She won't even believe it! But I have to tell her! I can't have Ophis going to the demon lord with this kind of attitude. If Ophis goes there without knowing then things will be much worse! Lilith finally took a deep breath and told Ophis about the demon lord's identity. Ophis only had one reaction.

"WHAT!!!?"

Ophis looked like someone sucker punched her with a building!

Her face was ashen and her legs felt weak! What did Lilith just say? I must've heard her wrong! I'm sure I heard her wrong! The hero, Floid Demonheart!? It's not possible!? I refuse to believe that the former hero became the demon lord! That man did the worst thing to the entire demon race! He humiliated me and made me a laughing stock that lives on the street! He can't be the demon lord after everything that he did! I refuse to believe it!

Ophis turned around and immediately started to run to the castle and Lilith called out to her in shock!

"Ophis! You can just go into the castle! The demon lord's household won't let you go if you do anything stupid! Ophis, wait!"

Ophis didn't even listen as she entered the castle and slowed down to a power walk as Lilith kept trying to stop her from behind! She passed a lot of demons that were having fun with the human maids and female knights and she ignored the screams and pleas for help as she started to make her way toward the throne room. If the demon lord is in Aquinas then the only place he can be is in the throne room.

I need to see this for myself if this is true! I'm sure that Lilith made a mistake! That man will never become the demon lord! Not after everything that he did!

"Ophis. Wait - !!"

Ohm!

"What is going on here?"

Lilith shouted out to Ophis again but she was cut off as someone appeared out of a portal in front of them. Lilith's face grew pale as she saw Rosavellt step out of the portal with a strict air around her. Rosavellt was looking at the both of them from above and it made Lilith feel small. Lilith tugged Ophis back. This is bad.

Rosavellt was obviously waiting for an answer to the question she asked.

Ophis saw that Rosavellt was only a maid and she was about to walk past Rosavellt when she felt someone grab her by the arm and pull her back sharply! Ophis looked back at Lilith in shock! Why is she stopping me!? Isn't this just another maid? I need to talk to the demon lord!

Lilith pulled Ophis back till she was standing behind her and Lilith immediately bowed low to Rosavellt! Lilith could see the dagger that Rosavellt had pulled from her arm holster and she knew that Rosavellt was only a moment away from killing Ophis! If Lilith didn't pull her back then Rosavellt would have killed her without even batting an eye!

"R-Rosavellt, I'm sorry for the disturbance..."

Rosavellt looked down at Lilith with a stern face before she put the knife back in her arm holster and she asked her what the fuck was going on. They were making unnecessary noise and it was disturbing the peace of the demon lord. Lilith stood straight and shuffled nervously as she thought about how to answer. Rosavellt won't let me go if I don't give her a satisfactory answer.

But before she could say anything, another voice spoke up.

"What is so difficult about this? We seek an audience with the demon lord. Can you please allow us through!"

Lilith looked back at Ophis with an angry stare! Did Ophis not know anything!? Do you know how hard it is to get an audience with the demon lord! He isn't someone that you can just go and see! And don't speak so rudely to Rosavellt!

Ophis was once the daughter of the demon lord so she never had any restriction holding her back from seeing her father at any time she wanted and that is why she doesn't know how hard it is to meet the demon lord. She thought you can just ask and you will be granted access! Once Ophis asked Rosavellt to give her an audience with the demon lord a sharp spike of bloodlust leaked out of Rosavellt and slammed it to the two girls and they immediately took steps back! Rosavellt was now frowning with a death stare.

"Who do you think you are to come here with such a demand?"

It was obvious that Rosavellt was now pissed and Lilith quickly tried to defuse the situation by speaking up. But before she could say anything she felt Rosavellt increasing her bloodlust even more.

"Shut up, Lilith. How dare you bring this woman here? I think you are forgetting your position in this world. You are nothing but a slave and you have no right to bring a guest before the demon lord. Have you gone mad? Do you think just because we welcomed you so well that you can go around doing whatever you want?"

Lilith felt like running away. She has never felt such intense bloodlust before. Lilith was just an SS-class and Rosavellt was an SSS-class! Rosavellt's bloodlust was making her knees go weak!

But Rosavellt was also correct. The members of the demon lord's household welcomed Lilith very well and each of them allowed her to stay close to the demon lord even if she is just a slave. This is the first time that Lilith is realizing that she is really just a slave! None of them see her as an equal! They can kill her and nothing will happen to them since she is just a slave! Lilith should have come up with a better plan. Bringing Ophis here without a plan was just stupid!

Ophis saw the entire scene playing out and she grew frustrated as she walked forward respectfully and put Lilith behind her. Ophis still cared about Lilith like a little sister and she didn't like seeing Lilith bullied like this! Rosavellt's bloodlust was now focused on Ophis but Ophis was barely able to withstand it since she was also an SSS-class. Even if her Mana core is broken that doesn't mean her body has forgotten the feeling.

"I'm sorry that I came here without permission, but please allow me to see the demon lord -"

Slap!!

Lilith flinched in shock as Rosavellt released a wicked slap that made Ophis' face snap to the right! Ophis' eyes were wide in disbelief as she couldn't understand what just happened. Did this woman just slap me?

"Did I ever say you could talk? Whether you are the daughter of the former demon king or not, you obviously never learned the meaning of manners. Do not just come into the territory of a king and start making demands like you own the place. If you are looking for sympathy then go to the street and beg,"

Ophis took in a shuddering breath. She felt a wave of intense anger rising inside her and she had to physically hold herself back from lashing out at Rosavellt. Rosavellt is too strong for Ophis and if Ophis lashes out, she will definitely die. But what the fuck is wrong with this woman! Is this really how guests are treated in the demon lord's household!? When I was the princess I never saw any of the guests being treated like this! This is brutal!

When Ophis was the princess, she only saw the guests that already made appointments and were allowed to see the demon lord. She never saw the guests that were not allowed in and the slaves were also not allowed to speak to her. In her mind, every guest of the demon lord was treated with respect, so this is very confusing for her.
