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

Inside the castle, people were screaming everywhere as they all fought against the demons! The demons have managed to not only spread throughout the town, but their tactics were good enough to get them inside the castle as well! There were numerous squadrons of soldiers that were advancing against the demons to try and prevent any more demons from entering.

The soldiers outside were using bows and arrows to attack from the towers to protect the soldiers that were fighting at the gate of the castle, but they were not able to pierce through the shields that the demons made using magic! The succubus and incubus had a lot of mana stored inside of them and they were able to use that Mana to constantly provide both healing spells as well as shields for the demons!

A human archer that was shooting at some demon suddenly stopped shooting as he felt his partner tap his shoulder and point further down. The archer looked at where his friend was pointing and he cursed as he saw giants appear from a portal!

The two large giants that were wearing metal armor roared as they charged forward and slammed against the wall of the castle! The walls were not able to withstand their immense strength and they crumbled and granted entrance to the demons! Once the demons saw that they had another path to enter from, they abandoned the gates and started to rush into the castle from the broken wall! The archers were overwhelmed as they didn't know where to shoot! They could continue shooting the demons at the gates, but that will allow the demons entering through the walls to advance faster! The same thing will happen if they shoot the walls! And if they tried to shoot both advances at the same time, they won't be able to cover that much ground since they don't have many archers here!

The head of the archers just shouted that they shout fire at will! None of the plans they could come up with will give them victory here, so the archers can just fire at any monster they see! If tactics won't work, he hoped that human intuition would work!

.......

Inside the castle was a different story altogether. There isn't any sort of fighting happening there. Yes, many soldiers are running toward their opponents, but you can't call something like this a fight. It was a one-sided massacre.

[Arctic Flames]

A great blue fire blasted out from Dragonnel's hand and slammed into the soldiers in front of him! The soldiers screamed as they felt their bodies freezing over! The fire wasn't even hot but it was burning them with intense frostbite! Their skins turned black and they could only shake on the ground in pain as they lost all their senses! The spell was called Arctic Flames. But it was not a skill for burning. It induces a cold that is so intense that you start feeling like your insides were burning up because of the frostbite that kills your nerves!

Dragonnel put his hands in his coat pocket as he advanced into the castle. If it was one year ago, then he would not even think of using a skill like this. Dragonnel gets his Mana directly from Floid and Floid didn't have the mana to support this kind of skill a year ago. But right now, Floid was much stronger than before. He had enough mana to cast this kind of skill a hundred. No, a thousand tums over!

[Frozen Wasteland]!!

Dragonnel dropped his leg on the floor with a slam! The entire room froze over and all the soldiers found that their feet were stuck in place! The soldiers here had been fighting Lilith and they were about to charge her when Dragonnel suddenly showed up and stopped them! They couldn't move at all as they looked up at Dragonnel with fear in their eyes! What sort of monster is this!? How can anyone have enough mana to cast this many high-level spells at the same time!? And he doesn't even look a little tired!

They all waited for what Dagonnel would do next, but they were surprised when Dragonnel didn't even move. He just smiled at them and waved! A wind blew past their faces as Lilith ran in from behind Dragonnel with her two daggers in hand!

[Swift Boost]

Squelch! Squelch! Squelch!

The soldiers couldn't even see her as she darted across the ground and cut them down one after the other! Just one slash to the neck was enough for all of them to immediately fall dead! Once she finished with the last one she stood straight and comported herself again. She was wearing her maid outfit so she put her knives in the holster on her thigh as she turned to Dragonnel and thanked him for the support. Dragonnel waved her away nonchalantly. He didn't see it as a big thing at all.

"We've dealt with the first and second floor. The demon lord only said we need to take care of the tough opponents so I'll go up to the fourth floor. You can handle the towers around the castle since the archers there are causing problems for the army. They should be easy for an SS-class like you,"

Dragonnel said this to Lilith before he started walking away. It might have sounded like a simple suggestion, but Lilith knew it was an order and she didn't have any right to refuse. When they really looked at their ranks, Dragonnel outranks her by a large margin! Dragonnel was a part of the demon lord's household and Lilith was only a servant of the demon lord! When the member of the demon lord's household gives a servant an order, the servant can never refuse! Lilith was starting to regret not accepting Floid's offer back then. She should have joined his household when he invited her.

She nodded to Dragonnel as she started to walk to a window at the side. She didn't mind following this order from Dragonnel. Even if she didn't like being ordered around, this particular order wasn't so bad. She needed to go out there so she can look for Ophis, so she will use this opportunity to find her. If Lilith can finish with the archers quickly enough, then she will have time to go and find Ophis. Lilith quickly sped up her pace and went to finish the task!

Dragonnel kept his eye on Lilith until she jumped out the window and started to move towards the tower. He didn't know what she was planning but Dragonnel knew that she had an ulterior motive for coming here. Lilith has been very distracted for a long time. Even when we were fighting the soldiers, I know that she shouldn't have needed my help with those soldiers. Was she so distracted that she almost lost to those weak soldiers?

That is the reason why Dragonnel told her to go and handle the tower. Dragonnel knew that the tower would be easy to handle and the soldiers there were not so strong to pose a threat at all. Dragonnel wanted Lilith to finish up quickly enough so that she would go and do what she wants to. It wasn't because he gave a fuck about her at all. Dragonnel just wanted to know what sort of person Lilith was. Dragonnel didn't know enough about her and the best way to learn about someone is to watch their actions.

If Lilith does anything that will bring harm or shame to the demon lord then I'll know she can't be trusted and I'll kill her immediately. I'll just treat it like an unfortunate accident and apologize to the demon lord for killing one of his servants. She isn't important enough for her to be given special treatment, so I know the demon lord won't even mind if she dies.
