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

Chapter 259 A Report For The Lord



Chapter 259  A Report For The Lord

Dracula was glad that he managed to notice the bomb when he did. It wouldn't have killed him and he would have probably only walked away with some major injuries, but it would have definitely killed Talia, and he would no longer be able to receive his payment if she is dead. Dracula looked to the side and he gently dropped Talia to the ground while narrowing his eyes and trying to find the cause of this explosion. Was there someone close by?

Even after Dracula dropped Talis, Talia was just staring at the explosion in stunned silence as she wondered if this was real or not. There was nothing that they could do about the lizardmen now since this explosion must've eradicated most of them if not all of them. At least now the lizardmen would no longer be a problem.

Even though the situation was dire, Talia's greedy nature as a demon still showed itself as she thought like this. The lizardmen were a problem for her people, and now that most of their strong fighters were dead, there is not going to be a problem anymore. Maybe the mermaids will even be able to enslave the remaining lizardmen and make them work as punishment for the trouble they have already caused.

Talia asked Dracula what the hell happened and Dracula couldn't give an answer. He had no idea how the lizardmen suddenly exploded! How was he supposed to know!?

But the only thing that he was sure of was that someone was controlling the lizardmen all this time! Someone wanted the lizardmen to attack the mermaids and cause a conflict between the two races!

And Dracula was right! There was someone else behind the lizardmen that pushed them into fighting against the mermaids! Normally, there would not have been any issue between the lizardmen and mermaids if that person didn't force the lizardmen into being violent!

Dracula wondered who could have done something like this without anyone noticing all this time! The amount of precise magic control that you will need to have before you can control the leader of the lizardmen is at least SSS class! Even Dracula was only an SS class and he wouldn't be able to control the leader of the lizardmen this well for this long. The number of people that could do something like this in the demon world can be counted on two hands! What would they gain from causing conflict between the lizardmen and the mermaids!? It didn't make any sense to Dracula.

"Can you sense anything around here?"

Talia asked Dracula, and Dracula shook his head. He already scanned the entire region and he couldn't sense anyone around! Talia bit her lip nervously. Does that mean that the lizardmen were already under some sort of control spell before they even had this meeting? That was the explanation that Talia could think about! This was very confusing for Talia! How long have they been under control!? And was that reason why they attacked the mermaids in the first place!? No matter how I think about it, it didn't make sense that the lizardmen suddenly attacked the mermaids when the mermaids didn't even antagonize them!

Dracula, meanwhile was thinking about something completely different! This was no longer a simple diplomatic matter! This is the sort of situation that they have to report to the demon lord as soon as possible! The lizardmen are mostly extinct now and there was someone working behind the scenes that eradicated them! Dracula allowed his senses to travel very far and he searched the entire area again to try and see if there is any person around, but there wasn't anyone at all and that would either mean that person is not here, so they are very good at hiding their presence! Dracula had to report this as quickly as possible.

"We're leaving here right now. We have to report this to the demon lord before anything else. It would have been better if we could bring back the bodies of the lizardmen as proof, but since they are already dead, there is no way to do that. We need to tell the demon lord about what happened here as quickly as possible."

Dracula was not going to let this get to the demon lord from anyone else and he opened a portal to transport him and Talia towards the demon lord's castle!

As Dracula and Talia landed in the demon castle, they began making their way toward the main castle! It was dark already, so the castle standing on top of the hill seemed more ominous than it ever did to Dracula! Dracula had only been to the castle twice before and both of those times were when the demon lord invited him! He has never been here when the demon lord did not expect him!

Talia was walking behind Dracula and trying desperately to go keep up with his pace, but she was feeling sick already! It wants because of the explosion, but because of where she was! This wasn't how this was supposed to go! How did they end up coming to the demon lord's castle for something like this!?

Talia thought that they would just deal with the lizardmen once and for all, and they would end this stupid territorial battle, but she didn't think that someone would blow up the lizardmen and she never thought for even a second that she would end up coming to the demon lord's castle!

press down on her as she got closer to the castle! Talia has only ever seen the demon lord from a distance whenever he comes to It was huge and there was this intense pressure that seemed to press down on her as she got closer to the castle! Talia has only ever seen the demon lord from a distance whenever he comes to see his concubine - the Queen, but she has never even looked him in the eye! His pressure was too intense, and as a warrior, Talia could easily sense the danger that was always surrounding him! She didn't think she would end up coming to see the demon lord today!

Talia made sure that she walked very close to Dracula so that there would not be any issues! She wanted anyone that saw her to know that Dracula was the one that brought her here! Imagine if the demon lord thinks that she dared to come here on her own!! Won't I just be killed for insubordination? Talia shivered!

Dracula reached the door and it was opened by a maid with blond hair and red eyes. She asked Deacula what business he had in the castle and Dracula said he wanted an audience with the demon lord. The maid frowned and Dracula wondered if there was an issue. He has never been denied an audience with the demon lord before so there shouldn't be an issue!

The maid opened a communication circle and she spoke to someone on the other side.

"The lord of the vampires, Dracula is here, madam. He says he wishes for an audience with the demon lord. Should I let him in?"

Dracula wondered who she was talking to. Maybe it was Rosavellt? Rosavellt was the head maid of the castle, so maybe she wanted every visit to be reported to her before they get to the demon lord. Yes, that made sense. Dracula wouldn't be surprised if every visitor had to pass through either Alucard or Rosavellt if they wanted to see the demon lord. The demon lord is not someone that just anyone can go to see, after all.

[Bring him in and ask him to wait. I will be there shortly]

Another voice spike up to the maid through the magic circle and the maid nodded as she closed the magic circle and told Dracula to please follow her. Dracula followed after the girl and she led him to a waiting room with some chairs and a table. Dracula's walked around the table and sat on a comfortable chair and it was only after he sat that Talia took a seat as well.

Dracula could smell Talia's nervousness from a mile away and he didn't blame her. It was also very nerve-wracking the first time he came to see the demon lord. It is not a feeling that will ever go away! Even if Dracula had come here twice already, he still feels goosebumps when he walks through those doors.

Footsteps sounded from outside the door and Dracula stood up as the door opened to allow someone in. He expected to see Rosavellt or even Alucard, but instead, he saw Andromeda coming inside the room followed by the blond maid. Dracula's brow furrowed in confusion. Dracula always had a conflicted opinion of Andromeda. Alucard knew that it was insulting to the demon lord to even question the members of his household, but he couldn't help it. Dracula has heard the tales of how shy Andromeda was and he has also seen how she acts sometimes when she is in front of the demon lord! She had no confidence and she would seem meek and shy! That is not the image of strength that the demon lord's household is supposed to have! That just made them seem weak!

But on the other hand, Dracula knew that Andromeda was very strong and she was ruthless when facing humans and enemies. She shows no mercy and there have been tales of her killing people in the hundreds just using her [Jagan] eyes skill alone and not having to lift a finger! That is the sort of thing that Dracula could respect no matter what! It was very impressive!

But this conflicted image made it hard to know how to behave in front of Andromeda and he was left wondering what she was doing here.
