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

The lamia slithered close to the drowsy Floid and caressed his chest softly. Floid found that he didn't hate the touch. He liked it, in fact. It was so nice. So soft. So pleasant. Like he could stay here forever.

Wait. Floid shook his head. Something isn't right here.

"Just sleep, my love. Don't worry. This big sister will make sure that nothing happens to you. You can stay with me forever, right? You want to stay with me forever. Say it.."

Floid felt his head getting even lighter as he opened his mouth to say what she commanded him to, but instead of saying it he immediately put his tongue out and bit down hard on it!

Floid's eyes opened wide and he suddenly jolted out from his slumber as he saw the lamia's appearance change! She was no longer smiling and she immediately hissed in anger as her entire face became wrinkled and old!

Floid kicked back and avoided her quick lunge with [Rapid Strike]! What a stupid thing for him to do! How could he just allow himself to be ensnared like that! He almost fell for her trap if not that he knows what monster this is as well!

The Dracia. A distant cousin of the lamia's that were far less welcoming. They usually ensnared their victims by using illusion magic to make themselves look more beautiful before finally killing them while having sex. They usually just remove the illusion in the middle of sex and the poor man they ensnared would have an immediate heart attack!

Trust me, if you suddenly saw your partner's face change into the face of an old woman in the middle of sex, you would definitely have a heart attack too!

Floid put his hand out and used [Fireball] to deflect the tail whip that the Dracia sent at him! He knew that these creatures were extremely resistant to magic attacks and so he would have to use something physical to end her.

Floid used his rapid strike to move to the other side of the room and grabbed a long metal rod that was lying there. The Dracia sent a tail whip at him while hissing again and Floid used the rod to block the whip! The strength of a Dracia's tail is stronger than a charging bull and so the tail whip sent Floid flying back! Floid just managed to catch himself and once he found his footing he immediately charged forward again using rapid strike.

The Dracia was shocked that Floid was still able to use Mana. Should he not have run out already? Even if he can break out of her illusion, he should have run out of Mana because you need a lot of Mana to break any of her illusions! Don't tell me that he still has enough to use a high-level skill like this!

Floid was running straight for her and she just managed to lean back and shoot the tip of her tail towards his chest! Even if he is with a lot of Mana, nothing can save him now! She will just run him through! The Dracia smiled wide as she saw her tail dig deep into Floid's chest with a sickening squelch! Yes! This is it! I can finally use his body. It should be enough food for a week if she is frugal Eh? Wait. Why is my body all the way over there?

The Dracia's head fell to the ground with a thud and Floid sighed as he flicked the rod to one side. Using Illusion magic for the first time turned out to be a success. It is nice that he could fool her long enough for her to think he actually died from her hit!

The Dracia's body fell to the ground also and Floid just walked out of the cave without looking back. That was a quick fight. Hopefully, the last one will be more of a challenge. No, actually, scratch that. I really shouldn't be wishing for something like that. For some reason, Floid felt like he just jinxed himself

[You have cleared the fourth trial. You have (1) challenge left to complete]

Floid finally felt some happiness as he walked forward. Just one more of these and I can finally find out what the hell this place is. Floid didn't like being in the dark about anything and he would only be able to come up with a good plan about this world once he knows where he is starting from.

As Floid walked forward, he felt the intensity increasing in the entire cave. His breaths started to come out in cold puffs and he felt his muscles getting stiffer. The temperature was dropping! Was he walking into something dangerous here!? Floid made a fireball on his palm and kept it there to keep himself warm as he kept moving forward.

He got to a giant blue door that looked like it was made entirely of ice. He put his hand on it and the door glowed red before it finally groaned as it opened up. The first thing Floid noticed was that the door didn't lead into a room. It led to a large cave that was larger than anything Floid had ever seen in his life. He walked forward till he got to a small cliff overlooking the cave and he finally put his light out. He didn't need it anymore. He was too shocked to even think about anything at all because right in front of Floid was a giant dragon trapped inside of the ice. Its body was larger than a skyscraper and Floid could only see its head clearly. Christ! You've got to be fucking with me. What is a dragon doing here!?

A deep growl echoed through the cave and Floid took a small step back as he glared up at the Dragon that looked like it was about to wake up. Was it going to fight him!? No matter how you look at it, this is too much! How can I win against a dragon!?

But the dragon didn't wake up, instead, Floid saw a magic circle appear in front of him before a man started to rise out from it. He wore a blue shirt and trousers and he had hair and eyes that were ice blue as well. He looked at Floid from head to toe with narrowed eyes.

Floid stared right back and he waited for the man to speak first. He was already prepared to activate rapid strike so he could get out of here as quickly as possible if he has to. This is too much for him to handle with his current power level!

"So you are the one that the world chose? I can't fathom what you can possibly have that I haven't seen in all the others already. My name is Dragonnel, the beast of ice. Tell me, what is your name?"

Floid balked in shock! This man is the dragon of ice! I've heard that name before! In the game Rivalle, the dragon of ice is said to be one of the strongest entities in all of Rivalle. He is the protector of this world and he is the only character that Floid never wanted to fight against in the game. Maybe it was because he only played one path, but Floid never met the dragon. He knew that he would have met the dragon if he played another path, but he never got a chance to do that before he came here.

Seeing the dragon in front of him like this is a great shock!

"You don't seem as shocked as the others. Have you perhaps met me before? I don't think many people have heard of me in a long time,"

Floid shook his shock away as he stood taller and faced the dragon. He told the dragon that he heard about him from some passing merchants. No way is he telling the dragon that he came from another world. That will open a can of worms that Floid didn't want to look into. But there was something that really caught Floid's attention.

"What do you mean by the others? Am I not the first to meet you like this?"

The dragon shook his head.

"You are indeed the first to meet me without any previous injuries on your body. All the others died gruesome deaths after they couldn't survive their injuries from the trials. But you don't look like you even strained yourself slightly. Tell me, what is your origin? What sort of demon are you?"

Floid smiled. He could only give one response to that.

"I am a demon lord. That is all you need to know,"

The dragon's eye widened slightly at this before he also smiled at Floid. If this demon is saying things like that, then that means he might just be the one. Very well, we shall find out.

"Please, walk towards me. Let's conclude the final trial,"
