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

Chapter 28: How Are You Alive!?

Lilith ducked under a particularly vicious swing and she put her hands up as Valkyrie's knee flew towards her face!! The knee strike didn't hurt as much as it should have because of the defensive ability but that didn't stop Lilith from being blasted down the street! Lilith cursed as she flipped back and stopped herself in a crouch. She looked at her forearms and saw that there was a large red bruise there! Her defensive magic failed! Lilith quickly cast another one on herself as she heard a loud shout down the street!

"What is it with you and defensive magic!?"

Boom!!!

Valkyrie's hand suddenly slammed into Llikths stomach and Lilith spit out a wad of blood as she felt the hand break through the defensive magic like it was a joke! Lilith flew back and stumbled down the street while Valkyrie grimaced as she saw some blood on her hand. Ew. Demon blood. She then started talking while cleaning her hand.

"What is wrong with you, Lilith! You don't see me making a defensive armor around myself, do you!? I'm just fighting like a normal person! I don't even use any spells to attack! Why are you trying to dishonor a fight with your defensive spells!?"

Because you're going to fucking kill me if I don't use it. Lilith thought this as she spat her blood out of her mouth while forcing herself onto her feet. She knew that the heroes became stronger after the demon Queen was defeated, but she never knew that they were this strong! It was too much of a difference! Lilith was an SS class Mage! She knew what she was capable of! But this difference is unbelievable! Lilith feels like a child being toyed with!

Lilith and Valkyrie were about to continue their fight, but the sound of footsteps approaching made the two of them tense for different reasons. Lilith could feel the power coming her way and she knew that it was the demon lord immediately! Meanwhile, Valkyrie could smell that it was two demons coming! Strong ones!

Floid stepped into the street with his white ensemble and he saw the two women looking at him like they have just seen a ghost. Alucard was standing behind Floid and the vampire could feel irritation fill him when he saw the two women. So they are the ones that made his lord waste his tike like this?

Floid looked from left to right. The street was empty and there were only the four of them under the moonlight. He rose his hand in a wave.

"Please, don't mind me. I was just curious about what was happening here. I won't stop you at all...um, Valkyrie, right? Yes, that's your name,"

Floid smiled at the stunned woman. Valkyrie's hands were shaking. Her entire body was vibrating like she was one second away from having a seizure! She couldn't believe her eyes! This is the hero! The hero is here! No. No. No! That is impossible. We killed you. We killed you a hundred years ago.

"We killed you,"

Valkyrie only said these three words in shock to Floid and Floid was actually surprised to hear it. Oh, that explains a lot. I've been wondering why I suddenly disappeared from the world a hundred years ago while all my comrades were still here and being hailed as heroes. So it was a matter of betrayal?

"I said we killed you! Why the fuck are you here and how are you a demon!

Shink!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

"Alucard. Calm down,"

Once Valkyrie finished shouting at Floid. She immediately felt her danger Sense run wild. She saw three sharp objects flying at her at superspeed and she barely managed to block the three knives with her sword! It was Alucard that threw knives from god knows where and he was more than ready to kill this disrespectful wench! How dare you talk to the demon lord like that!

Floid immediately told his butler to calm down. He actually wanted to talk to Valkyrie a little more. Alucard immediately calmed himself and summoned the three blades back into his spatial space. Valkyrie was looking at the butler with weary eyes as she took a defensive stance and held her sword in front of her! She didn't see those blades! She didn't even know that the butler moved! It was pure instinct that allowed her to even block it! If he threw a fourth one, she didn't know if she would have been able to block that one as well!

Floid ignored the shock on her face as he spoke to her again.

"Just finish this quickly so that I can talk to you. I think that -"

"Help me,"

A low voice suddenly echoed down the street and Floid turned to the person that spoke with a questioning gaze. What did you say?

Lilith repeated her plea once again and this time Floid blinked in confusion.

"Help you? Why should I? You are not a member of my household and you are not even a member of my army. I do not think I need to help someone that turned down my offer for no reason,"

Lilith grit her teeth. She could tell that he was not joking. He would really let her die here if he wanted to. And why wouldn't he? It's not like her death would mean anything to him. He is the demon lord and he has more than enough people around him. But Lilith couldn't die here! She can't just allow herself to die in a place where she won't make any difference at all! She still has something she needed to do!! So Lilith swallowed her pride and begged.

"My lord, please help me. I can't win against her,"

This time, Floid narrowed his eyes at her. He wanted her to say it with her own mouth. Lilith realized what she had to say and she finally did.

"I will join your household if you help me. I don't want to die till I've completed my task,"

Once she said this, Floid got a notification from his system.

Ding!

Floid walked forward and he smiled when he saw Valkyrie jump back while holding her sword in front of her. Floid ignored her and went to Lilith. Lilith was still standing, but Floid could see that she was on her last leg. She would have died if he was a little late. Floid took off his long white coat and put it on her and Lilith turned to him in surprise. He accepted?

"You will not be a member of my household. I already told you that the offer for that was off the table. But I will take you in. Like a stray cat caught in the rain."

Floid walked past her and Lilith held tighter onto his coat as she bowed her head in thanks. She didn't feel insulted by what he said since he was still taking her in. And he was right, he already offered her membership once and she refused it. She didn't have a right to be a member again.

Floid stopped a few meters away from Valkyrie and he spoke to her.

"I don't know what you think I am. But the hero that you killed is dead. You killed him. I am someone new. My name is Floid Demonheart, and I am the demon lord! Remember it for the last moments of your life,"

There was a sharp threat in his voice and Valkyrie tried her best to calm down. She couldn't get flustered here. It didn't matter if he was the demon lord or the hero. Floid was still the same Floid. His name didn't change from the time when he was a hero and so he might still be the same person!

But how is he still alive? He can't possibly have survived after what we did to him. Is he really Floid? Maybe a descendant? Valkyrie shook her head! It didn't really matter at all! It was still the same either way! He is a demon and so he has to die!

Valkyrie brought her sword forward and braced to attack.

Valkyrie kept her eye on all three demons while calming herself down so that the world moved in slow motion. There were three of them but it wouldn't be too hard for her to deal with them. She just has to take enough damage from them to allow her to grow stronger. The most dangerous person here is that man at the back. I don't know what kind of demon he is but he is one of the faster types. Maybe something like a vampire? I have to keep my eye on him the most.

[Rapid Strike]

"You'll die if you ignore me too much,"

Valkyrie's heart skipped a beat as a voice whispered from beside her! Floid! She quickly swung her sword around to try and attack him but the sword was stopped dead in its tracks by two fingers!
