I was a Nerfed Hero in Another World Chapter 58: The Demon King's Daughter

Lilith Umbra's Point of View

___________

"You must look for Arthur. You must... Arthur..," the sword spoke as soon as I grabbed the poml.

"Who is this Arthur?" I asked, unsure what the blade ant.

The only Arthur that I knew was the new king of Calot, Arthur Pendragon. However, he was the number one enemy of the demons. He started his genocide for the last decade. And the war continued until now.

Arthur was not an ally that I could ask. So I could only guess that the sword ant another one living in this world.

However, before I could ask the sword for another question, the light covering my hands faded. The bright yellow light turned into a brilliant purple hue, enveloping everything surrounding . Overwhelming power coursed through my veins as the blade finally recognised as its rightful wielder.

"Take up, and cast away, Excalibur," I said, and resigned myself to the arcane of my blade.

After taking the sword out from the stone, the familiars greeted at the cliff's end. Two pointed ears greeted my eyes, with their body covered in a dark and crimson hue. Each of them ard themselves with lances, pitchforks, and daggers. Since those demons brought their weapons, I could only assu they wanted to take sothing from by force.

Father sent those devilish familiars to fetch . If I had to guess, those trios were all elite soldiers thoroughly taken by my father. It was not because he cared for my well-being. But it was to take this sword away from my hands.

Whoever possessed this sword shall have imnse power blessed by the unknown gods that the humans worshipped. But from our dictionaries, those gods were just legends passed from one generation after the other.

In other words, none of those was real to our eyes. Only the creatures living on this planet were the ones who govern things, especially in this current famine.

Every demon had their eyes widened in surprise as they glued their sight at the blade clipped in my hand. However, as soon as those devils tried approaching , I motioned my sword and warned them about their distance.

"Lilith, your father would be proud!" claid the demon.

I was also one of them, and my father was the ruler of our kind. It was an ironic fate that my body had the characteristics of a demon And yet, my cause had a distinct line from those devils.

I went here for a purpose and turned astray from my father's goal. There was no way in hell I would accept such a fiendish offer, especially about a one-sided war against those humans.

"I didn't co here to give this sword to you," I answered, while waving my sword.

Everyone called this blade "Excalibur". It was also the legendary sword from the myths and legends passed down by our ancestors. This lee weapon would amplify the ideals of the one carrying the blade.

This sword chooses its wielder, granting imasurable power beyond comprehension. It was the strongest weapon in this enigmatic world, after all. I needed to use this sword and snatch the holy grail from both the humans and demons.

Once I received that heavenly chalice, I would grant everyone peace, unlike this generation of mine.

"Tell my father that I won't be coming ho," I ordered the demons.

However, it was unlikely for them to listen to . I was the daughter lord's demon lord And the demon king would be my father.

"I'm sorry, Lilith, but I have to obey my orders," the three elite demons reacted, as they prepared themselves for an upcoming battle.

But little did those demons know about this sword. As soon as I witnessed those devils approaching , I swung my blade and hit them with the edge of my sword. Within a few seconds, those demons turned into dust. They did not have the ti to react to my swing, considering the heightened abilities I received from this weapon.

I would be nothing without this sword. So having this clipped in my hand would make a difference At least, that was what I believed in.

Before leaving this place, I turned around and viewed the plains. Each corner of the land had a corpse that ca from both demonic soldiers and my devilish people. A war erged before reaching this place. And I lost all of my loyal citizens that followed .

"I won't let your deaths turn vain I will use this sword to destroy wars and introduce peace," I murmured.

It was my beloved goal as the demon lord's daughter. I did not want war or skirmishes from all over the countries. All I yearned for was peace between two separated powers: the humans and demons.

I did not want to see my people die again because of my limitations. I did not want to see anyone dying in hunger and battling against resources. Humans and demons required the sa love, so war was never an option.

And the holy grail would grant my wish. Whoever claims the holy grail would have a lifeti's worth of seeds and nourishnts instantly. And now that the world continued fighting for land and resources, the holy grail beca the golden prize for the two empires.

I would not let the humans take the holy grail for themselves. If they had this chalice, those humans would conquer the land and kill all of our demons.

If my father got his hands on the divine cup, he would imdiately seek war and grab his revenge on the humans. If he succeeded in his quest, he would enslave and torture those humans without fail.

If I snatched the holy grail to myself, I could end this war once and for all. Among those two idiots fighting against each other, I planned on stopping their strife and restoring balance in this land.

But before that could happen, I needed the help of soone in this world.

My blade ntioned the na "Arthur". But Excalibur never told the details of this guy I would look for. All I had was the na. But that alone would never be enough to find this man in this vast world.

I dashed outside of the cavern and slid at the slanting terrain, escaping from the depths of this wasteland. There was no point in idling around in this place. And so, I continued forward and traversed back to my shelter.

It was the place where I gathered all the civilians that pledged their loyalties to . They were the only demons that believed in my words. The only problem that could occur in that organisation would be the spies lurking in our eting rooms.

But as long as we planned on checking the demon people, we would know who would turn our backs against us.

I brushed those thoughts aside and rushed back to my ground with the sword still clipped in my hand. When I pulled out the blade, the weapon talked inside my head. It instructed to find the missing man nad Arthur in this vast world. If I could offer my hunch, Arthur would wander around the kingdoms, finding his purpose.

"Will this sword talk to again?" I asked myself, while staring at my Excalibur.

If this Excalibur had omniscient power, I could effortlessly detect the missing man. However, right now, that was not an option. All I could do was to rally my soldiers and order a search hunt for Arthur.

And that was what I did.

As soon as I reached my base, I told my elite soldiers of my own to look for an unusual man. If that Arthur proved to be soone special, he would do so insightful things that would catch my eyes.

Nothing gets past my radar. I had eyes and ears all over the kingdoms without attacking the humans.

But my guards would not be the only ones doing the findings. I also took part in the search and planned on surveying the area, even if it would be the last thing I could do. I might find so hidden leads to guide towards this person.

If I wanted to look for sothing, sitting inside my house doing nothing would be ideal for .

However, unlike the past hunting group I sent, I went alone around the demonic plains. I had a gut feeling that Arthur would et my father soon

And since I was the demon lord's daughter, I knew the terrains better than anyone else in my team. This area had been my little playground since I was a child. If I ordered soone to accompany , my infiltration between demonic towns would blow my cover.

It took a couple of minutes to arrive at a close-by demonic town. And around a few miles ahead was the Kingdom of Caerleon. If I still had the ti to visit that place, I would do so.

There might be a chance Arthur that the sword recognised would stay in that place.

I just hope I could find him sooner if I wanted to stand a chance against my father and King Arthur.
