How To Be A Demon lord: The Former Hero's Journey As A Demon Lord!-Chapter 48 How To Handle Hard Steel

As the former demon queen kept on thinking about how she lost everything, she looked down at the bread and wondered if she should even eat it. As the demon queen, she should never accept this sort of sympathy, but then her stomach growled and she groaned! She was so hungry! She hasn't eaten anything in days and she can't even work for money since her horns will immediately show everyone that she s a demon!

"The demon queen, Ophis, eh?"

Another voice suddenly spoke up from the entrance to the alley and the demon's queen felt a wind blow and take her hood off! Her large horns and purple eyes were now open and she quickly tried to bring the hood back on her face! This woman's name was Ophis and she was the daughter of the former demon king as well as the demon queen that was defeated by the hero a hundred years ago. After she lost to the hero, her mana core was completely destroyed and she barely managed to survive! She has been living on the streets since then because her appearance was too obvious! Everyone would know that she is a demon if she takes off her hood and demons were being hunted down in the entire world right now so she is never safe!! She would have used illusion magic to change her appearance but she couldn't use magic at all since her Mana core was broken!

Ophis looked at the person standing at the alleyway entrance and she immediately had her guard up! She didn't know who he was and she didn't even feel like he was strong at all! But then how did he know who she was!? And he was looking at her with intense and critical eyes that didn't even look shocked at all! He was just staring at her like she was some sort of specimen!

The man hummed in curiosity. He had golden blonde hair and blood-red eyes and he just stared at Ophis for a while before he started to walk away. Ophis was shocked! He just said who she was and he also saw her face and he wasn't going to do anything!? Who is this man!?

The man spoke up before he dsappeared around the corner and Ophis perked up in surprise.

"To think that the famous demon king would have a daughter like you. You're a bit disappointing. I thought you would be able to give me a good fight like your father, but it turns out that you can't even find your own food,"

The man's eyes trailed down to the bread in Ophis' hand and she squeezed the bread in anger once she heard what he said! Was he insulting her!? Fuck you! I don't even know who you are, so why the hell are you insulting me!?

Another thing that also shocked Ophis was that this man knew her father! If he knew her father then shouldn't she also know this man!? She has never met him before! Ophis knew that this man wasn't a demon. He was definitely a human. But the way he looked and moved wasn't like any human she has ever met before. He looked so sure of himself. Like the world could end at this moment and he would be the only one to survive!

The man chuckled when he noticed her anger. It was like he was watching a rat hissing at him. He simply walked away and Ophis slumped on the wall again. This is her life now. Anyone can just insult her and she won't even be able to do anything about it! She hates that fucking hero!

.....

At the demon castle, Floid was handling the last of the paperwork that he would need to do for the day. Floid has been training with the demon sword for the past two weeks. He realized that the sword was nothing like he expected. When he read about the sword on the Rivalle Wiki, the wiki said that the sword was something that would grow with him! It said that the sword would only be as strong as he was and the stronger he got, the stronger the sword will also be! Bullshit!

That sword wanted to kill him! The sword was so strong that Floid almost died the first time that he used it! The sword was like a conductor that sucked up all of his mana with reckless abandon! The first time that he used the sword, Floid didn't know how to control how much mana he used in his attack and so he just used one of the slash skills that he learned when he got his [Advanced sword Arts]!

The beam of energy that came out of the sword tore the training room in two! Dragonnel was so shocked when saw that training room that he just stood there with wide eyes. Dragonnel looked down at the sword in Floid's hand in shock. He didn't recognize the sword and Floid knew that he would never recognize it. The sword was something that the first demon king sealed before he fought and sealed Dragonnel so this was the first time that Dragonnel ever saw this sword.

Floid needed to learn how to use the sword as quickly as possible. He figured out that he would need to learn better mana control if he wanted to use that sword properly. Floid would just focus on using only skills till he gained enough mana control.

It's obvious that there are people that are far stronger than him in this world and Floid has to learn how to use the sword to level the playing field if he ever meets a stronger opponent. Skills and Mana weren't the only methods of fighting in this world and Floid wouldn't let himself be aight unawares.

Knock! knock! knock!

Someone knocked at the door of the office and Floid told the person to enter. It was Pyra and she came to tell Floid that Rizi was requesting his presence.

Thud!

There was a sudden sound from under Floid's table and Pyra blinked in surprise. What in the world? She looked to the side and she was surprised again. Wasn't it Rosavellt's turn to serve the demon lord today? Why isn't she standing where she is meant to be!? Rosavellt isn't the sort of person that would never leave her post when she is meant to be working! She is too strict for that!

Rosavellt suddenly crawled out from under Floids table and stood beside floid as she swallowed something. She cleaned some white substance from her chin before she bowed to Floid! Pyra's eyes widened a little before she gained back her stoic look. At least Rosavellt didn't abandon her post. Pyra wasn't even surprised by the entire scene at all!

Rosavellt looked at Pyra with a frown as she spoke.

"Who does Rizi think she is summoning? Is she really trying to summon the demon lord like he is a commoner?"

Pyra was still stoic as she felt a little annoyed at Rosavellt. Pyra knew that Rizi didn't mean anything disrespectful by what she did! Rizi has been so busy in the workshop lately that the demon lord has been going to see her almost every week! Floid even told Rizi that she can call him if she ever needs an extra opinion on anything!

Floid hummed while finishing up the signing of the final documents. Rosavellt was really good at what she did, but she needs to loosen up sometimes. She is too strict with the other maids.

Once he was done with the paper, Floid stood up and put his hand on Rosavellt's head. He pet her a little and he smiled when he saw Rosavellt blush under his touch. f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎

"M-Master?"

"Don't be so uptight, Rosa. Rizi has been working a lot lately. Let's go see what she needs,"

Rosavellt nodded! She was so happy that her master was petting her head! Ah~! This is bliss!

She and Pyra followed behind Floid as he walked out of the office. Pyra looked at Rosavellt and she huffed lightly when she saw the small blush that was still on her face. Rosavellt was always so uptight around the other maids, but she would melt like pudding under the demon lord. Can't she be a little nicer to the other maids sometimes!? Rizi has been working for two months without even leaving her workshop and Rosavellt wasn't even showing her any sympathy!
