How to become a Demon Lord: The Former Hero's Journey as a Demon Lord! Chapter 19: Absolute Disbelief

The Japanese swordswoman was one of the mbers of Floid's party when he was still a hero in the ga. The woman was known to be one of the best magic sword users and she was hailed as the undefeated swordmaster because she was capable of fighting for extrely extended periods of ti.

The reason she could fight this long was because of a special skill she has. [Kinetics Rebuff] that allowed her to transform any hit she received in a fight into her own power. So basically, the more you hit her the stronger she will get, and the stronger the opponent, the better! It was a cheat ability that Floid wanted to gain so badly in the ga but it was not in the store and he couldn't buy it using Mana crystals! It was an ability specific to only the swordswoman! Tch! Floid was always a little pissed about that! It was childish to be angry about a ga but he couldn't help it!

Well, it didn't matter now. Floid will just find her and deal with her. If she is still alive then it might be interesting to see his comrades. For so reason, Floid knew that there was sothing that happened between him and that woman. Floid always knew that a lot was happening in that ga that he never saw since it was off the screen and Floid always wanted to know what exactly it was! But he never really bothered to try and find out because it was just a ga!

Floid didn't trust that woman! Not even a little!

....

The eastern human kingdom was separated into three major powers. The first kingdom was the kingdom of Uta which boasted the strongest military among all the three kingdoms! The second kingdom was the kingdom of Aquinas. They were usually called the kingdom of water because their entire land was on an island surrounded by water. They were the kingdom that had the strongest marine force. Their ships number in the hundreds and they had thousands of sailors and mages! The third and smallest kingdom was the kingdom of Trad. This kingdom was a kingdom filled with rchants and traders. Almost every single person in this kingdom was a master salesman and they were capable of making their kingdom large enough to stand toe to toe with the other two kingdoms by providing food and other necessities that the other two kingdoms needed for their army during the war against the demon King.

All three kingdoms were located on the eastern side of this world, opposite where Floid's castle was located. It was like the three kingdoms were standing solidly against the demon king on a chess board!

The recent attack on Hampshire by the demons was sothing that the kingdom of Uta heard of first. They were the ones that sent the soldiers out to try and help the town. The ruler of this kingdom was Queen Pricilla. She used to be the princess, but she beca queen over her brothers and sisters when their father died. The main reason why she got the throne instead of her siblings was because of the efforts she put into the subjugation of the demon Queen along with the hero a long ti ago.

She was hailed as a hero in her kingdom when she ca back from the fight and it wasn't hard at all for her to gain enough support from the people and the council to give herself the throne. It was just a matter of democracy! Who do you think the people will choose as their ruler!? So idiot sibling that couldn't even go to fight for their country or the princess that stood side by side with the hero as he battles all the demons!?

Well, it also helped that she poisoned her father at the mont when her popularity was at its highest. Oh, co on, don't look at like that. It was the best course of action!

She knew that it was just a matter of ti before she would lose popularity again. Humans were fickle creatures that could be swayed by the littlest of things, so she wouldn't be surprised if they forgot about all her achievents soon. So she decided that it was ti for her father to die and she went ahead with the plan! No one ever suspected the innocent princess that cried at her father's bedside! She was a hero! Why would she ever try to poison the king!? Heh. Idiots.

The queen was currently in the throne room. Over the years, she hasn't grown too much and she has kept her youthful appearance. She was an SS class Mage in the kingdom. Whenever soone passes the realms of S Class and moves into the SS class realm, they beco sothing otherworldly. They can easily use the mana in their body to keep themselves young for a long ti and it wouldn't be hard for her to live for another five hundred years at least!

That was one of the reasons she killed her father. Her father was also an SS class Mage and it took her a long ti to find the perfect poison for him and then feed it to him slowly over ti. Her father already lived for three hundred years and she knew that if she didn't poison him, he would have lived to another three hundred at least! She refused to wait that long to take the throne!

But it didn't matter. Her father was dead and her siblings have all been tad or sent away. She was the ruler of the kingdom and no one will ever take it from her!

Bam!!!

"Your highness!!"

The door to the throne room suddenly burst open and the queen saw her attendant running towards her throne with a mad look in his eyes. He looked like he just saw a ghost! He better have a good reason for disturbing her like this or she will definitely behead him!

"What is it Al? I thought I told you not to disturb ? I hate it when people don't listen to my orders,"

Al shivered when he heard the threat laced under her words. He knew that he shouldn't have co in here like that but he didn't have a choice! There was sothing that couldn't wait at all! This was a matter of national crisis! Al fell to his knees and hands while panting as he spoke up.

"My queen! There is a problem! The army that we sent to the Hampshire village has been wiped out!!"

Queen Priscilla tensed on her seat as she leaned forward imdiately. What? What the hell did this idiot just say!? Who in the world would dare to wipe out her army!? Who dared!? The kingdom of Uta was the largest kingdom on this side of the world and they have never been threatened by any other kingdom because they all knew that Uta can destroy them if they went against Uta. So for soone to wipe out an army from Uta is like declaring war!

"Which army was it!? Who dared to do it!? Was it Aquinas!? I always knew that they would be a problem? I should have destroyed them when I had the chance before!"

The attendant shivered at the anger in his queen's voice. He knew that he should tell her the truth, but he was terrified of what she would say if he did! But if he didn't tell her the truth then she will definitely be angry at him when she finds out! The attendant swallowed and finally spoke up.

"I-It wasn't an army, my queen. It was a demon army. No, it was just four demons,"

"Eh...?"

Pricilla was silent for a mont after she heard this before she suddenly started to giggle! The giggle slowly escalated till she was laughing loudly! She never knew that Al was a clown! If she knew he was this funny then she would have hired him as a jester instead of an attendant! Demons! Who would even believe that demons are capable of destroying an army from Uta! Even an army of demons cannot do it!

"Al, I'll increase your pay for the month just for making laugh like this! You will make a good jester in future! Have you ever thought of changing professions!?"
