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



Right now, she was only going to make sure that Floid's plans worked out perfectly. Even if she wasn't a hundred percent okay with the plan, she would still help her little brother.

Quinn first decided to try reasoning with the people in the church.

"I'm only going to say this once to everyone here. Don't get in our way and I'll spare your life. I don't want t have to kill you, but I will kill all of you if I don't have a choice,"

Her voice rang out through the church but the civilians around moved back immediately from fear. The people in the church were mainly women and little children that couldn't fight, so they knew that the hero would be able to kill all of them if she wanted to. They still couldn't believe what they were seeing! The hero was protecting a demon like she was one of them and the hero was threatening to kill the humans if they get in her way.

One of the priests at the side took a step forward and spoke to Quinn.

"Hero-sama. What is going on? Are you actually betraying us? Are you betraying the humans and joining the demons!?"

Ophis rolled her eyes in disgust from behind Quinn! Who did these idiots think they were!? Ophis knew that humans couldn't notice the difference between humans and demons as well as the demons could, but this was absurd!

The only reason Ophis was able to fool the humans for so long was because she didn't have any mana, so they couldn't tell that her mana was demons mana. But Quinn was filled with mana! And not just any mana, she had the same mana as the demon lord! How can they think she is a human!? Ophis spoke up loudly from behind Quinn!

"Don't be a fool, you stupid priests! Can't you see that she is a demon herself!? Can't you fools tell the difference between a demon and a human at all!? You idiots really thought she was one of you!? Ha!!"

The priest took a step back in shock once they heard what Ophis said and the people around started to mutter amongst themselves! They couldn't believe that Quinn was a demon! But the proof was right in front of them! She was fighting against the demons and she just killed a human! Even if she isn't a demon, this much evidence was enough to show that she was on the side of the demons!

Quinn sighed and dropped her sword down. Her hand was now releasing a lot of smoke and Quinn had to sheath the sword to prevent it from burning her anymore. She won't be able to use the sword for another hour at least.

"H-Hey, what the hell are you doing!? Pick up the damn sword!! Why did you drop it!?"

Ophis quickly shouted out to Quinn in anger! Why the hell did Quinn drop the sword!? Doesn't she know that all the humans here want to kill them? That sword was the only weapon they had!

But Quinn wasn't bothered anymore because the time limit that Floid gave her was already up. It has already been an hour.

"I don't think we'll be needing the sword anymore,"

Booooomm!!!!!!

Quinn looked towards the other side of the church as a loud explosion echoed from there! The front of the church suddenly burst open as a head poked itself through the new hole. A giant looked down at all the people with a maniac smile on its face as it finally got a chance to destroy as much of the church as it wants! The demon lord only said that they couldn't kill the priests for one hour and now that the hour was over, they can do whatever they wanted!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

Boom!!

One of the women in the church screamed at the top of her lungs once she saw the giant and at the next moment, three more giants slammed their way through the walls of the church and charged into the crowd of people!

The humans started to run away from the giants but Ophis and Quinn immediately started to run in the opposite direction, towards the door of the church! Quinn grabbed Ophis' hand and she used the [Rapid Strike] skill to quickly move through the crowd and get to the door. But she had to stop at the door as the crowd from outside started to run into the church as well.

Outside the church, the priests were all shocked as they watched the giants and demons killing many of their brothers. They all activated their holy skills and they started to take steps back from the demons, but no matter what they did, the demons easily bypassed all the skills and continued to kill the people. the pent-up aggression and anger that the giants were feeling gave them an adrenaline rush that prevented the pain from stopping them! The giants and demons have been waiting for this moment for a long time1 they had to stand and watch the priests claiming that they were superior because of some god. Now that the demons had permission to destroy the priests, they would not let a single person escape!

The holy skills that were hitting them didn't even stop them for a second and the priests could only wonder why their holy skills were not working. They thought that the lord was protecting them. Did something happen to make the lord angry at them? Did the lord forsake them!?

The only thing they could do was turn and run into the church! People were tripping over each other and trampling over the bodies of their friends as they tried to save their own lives.

There was no way for Quinn or Ophis to escape through the door with so many people there and Quinn decided that she would just use brute force to get out of there, but a sudden chill traveled across the entire church and everything slowed down to a standstill as the temperature in the church dropped!

Quinn released a foggy breath as she looked around in shock. She saw ice covering the floor and noticed that the people and demons were all standing still like statues. Did someone just stop time!?

The sound of footsteps made Quinn turn to the door and she saw a man walking through the crowds of people with his hands in his pocket. She immediately recognized him as Dragonnel. One of the members of Floid's household.

Quinn has never spoken to Dragonnel before and she can count the number of times she has seen him in one hand! She didn't see any reason for him to come and help her. Or maybe, did Floid send him to help me? A warm feeling burst through Quinn's chest as she thought about this. This means that Floid was worried about her and he sent someone to look after her.

From beside her, Quinn saw Ophis bow to Dragonnel as he stood in front of them. Ophis knew just how important Dragonnel was and she was taught to always show respect to important people. Not only was Dragonnel a member of Floid's household he was also one of the last living dragons in existence!

Dragonnel only glanced at Ophis before he turned back to Quinn. Quinn refused to bow and she only gave Dragonnel a nod.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?"

These were the first words that Dragonnel said to Quinn and Quinn bristled in shock at the annoying tone that Dragonnel used to talk to her. She didn't expect him to sound so hostile.

"The demon lord sent me here to watch you, but I'm sure that he didn't expect you to be so stupid. How could you expose yourself to a hostile group without having a clear means of defending yourself if something happened? What would have happened if you couldn't use your sword and the time limit didn't run out?"

Quinn narrowed her eyes in anger. She knew that Dragonnel was right, but the way he was saying it was still very annoying.

If the one hour that Floid gave her didn't run out when it did, then Quinn would have had to fight her way out of here without her sword. But that would still not have been a problem. Even without her sword, Quinn is still the hero. She is not weak at all. None of the people here are above A-class and Quinn was once one of the only S-class fighters in the kingdom. There is no way she can lose to them.

Quinn explained this to Dragonnel and Dragonnel scoffed before turning to walk out of the church. The people in the church were still not moving and Quinn could only guess that this was Dragonnel's magic that was keeping them in stasis. So Dragonnel could also control time. Just how strong is this man? And if he is this strong, then how strong was Floid? Quinn knew that for Dragonnel to submit to Floid, Floid would have to be much stronger than Dragonnel! Quinn was slowly realizing just how outclassed she was amongst the demons.

Dragonnel spoke up as he was leaving through the door.

"Better follow closely unless you want to stay here and die. The lord wishes to receive a report from that one and you have your maid duties to attend to. My duty is only to keep you out of trouble, whether or not you are injured is one of my business,"

Ophis snarled when Dragonnel referred to her as 'that one' and she huffed before following behind Dragonnel. Even though she didn't like Dragonnel's attitude, she still knew that Dragonnel was right. It would be stupid to keep the demon lord waiting.

Quinn also fell in line behind Dragonnel and the three of them walked out of the frozen church together. Once they were outside the church, time started to move again and the screams and shouts of people echoed through the night!

.......

Rosavellt walked back to the throne room while cleaning her hand with a towel. There were demons walking through the corridors as well. Some of them were carrying the bodies of unconscious women over their shoulders while some lizardmen were taking the bodies of the dead guards back to store them as food. Rosavellt ignored all of them and she threw the towel to the side once she was done cleaning her hand.

Rosavellt just finished throwing Priscilla into the underground cavern for the giants to use her however they wanted.

Rosavellt used her magic to bring back some of Priscilla's senses before throwing her into the giant's cave because Rosavellt was angry that Priscilla didn't entertain the demon lord long enough. It was hard for Rosavellt to bring Priscilla back to her senses even a little. The demon lord did magnificent work in ruining Priscilla's mind and Rosavellt could feel her body getting excited as she thought about the intensity of punishment that would lead someone to become like that. The demon lord must have done unspeakable things to Priscilla! Rosavellt wished she could have been there to watch the demon lord in action!

It took Rosavellt more than thirty minutes to fix even the smallest amount of Priscilla's mind. Rosavell only stopped because she had to report back to the demon lord as soon as possible. Priscilla wasn't back to her senses completely, but at least she will know what is happening around her and she will be able to feel her surrounding. That much was enough for what the giants would do to Priscilla.

Rosavellt wanted Priscilla to suffer as much as possible!
