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

Artus walked forward to stand in front of the knights and faced the group of vampires that were standing behind Dracula. He let his eyes trail down to it was fixed on the vampire lord's sword. He could feel a great number of curses coming out of the sword and he knew that he didn't want that sword to touch him no matter what! Dracula has not yet discovered the full power of the sword so Artus decided that he will surely take that sword away before the vampire lord can learn how to use it properly.

"You monster. It was not enough that you killed brothers and sisters of the church a hundred years ago, but you are also attacking the townspeople? You truly are spawns of the devil! This will be the last day to ever cause pain to the people of this town!"

Dracula couldn't stop himself from grinning even as he healed the injury that he sustained to his hand when Artus hit him with his [Ray of Light].

"You call me a monster? Then what are you? Did you not also kill my brothers and sister? And, don't you know, father? Violence in payment for violence. That is the law of monsters,"

Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack!

Footsteps started to come from the side of the group and everyone turned to see someone coming out down the road toward them.

Rosavellt appeared in front of all the soldiers and vampires. She was still wearing her maid outfit but she carried her large shield and the dark sword in front of her with a blank face. Artus looked from Dracula to Rosavellt and then back again! Dammit! Artus became worried! He could tell that Rosavellt was probably an SS class or higher from the mana that he could feel from her! She is not someone that he can fight while also worrying about Dracula!

Rosavellt just finished taking care of all the blessed crosses around the town. The crosses were very dangerous to the vampires, but they were not able to cause her too much damage because she was far stronger than the vampires. She destroyed them with her sword according to her master's orders and now she came to take care of Artus. Floid told her not to kill the priest, but he didn't care what else she did to him!

Rosavellt held her sword up and the ground rumbled as she activated her [Familiar Summons]. Hundreds of skeleton hands burst out of the ground around her before they pulled themselves out from under the ground! Rosavellt pointed her sword towards the knights surrounding the castle and both the familiars and vampires charged! Artus didn't wait for the familiars to come to him! He immediately put his hand out and activated his [Ray of Light]! A great magic circle formed in front of the knights and blasted a huge white beam towards the charging undead!

If the light hit them, they will definitely die! This light was filled with blessed energy and it would be impossible for any of the vampires to survive it! But Rosavellt suddenly appeared in front of the ray before it could hit anyone and planted her shield into the ground!

Boooommmmmmm!!!!

Rosavellt held on tight as the ray slammed against her shield! She could feel some of the light hit her cheeks and a small part of it burnt because of the blessing! But she was able to hold on till the end! Once Artus stopped the skill, Rosavellt charged forward! The army of the undead went after the army of knights and Rosavellt went straight for Artus!

The two of them were very different types of fighters! Artus focused more on forming a shield around himself while throwing rays of light filled with blessings. It was obvious that his fighting style was crafted for the sole purpose of killing demons. Meanwhile, Rosavellt was very good at both attacking and defending! Her shield was strong enough to withstand the ray of light for a long time and the sword she had was infused with enough demonic curses that it could even be seen with the naked eyes! It was literally releasing demonic power with every swing!

Clang! Clang! Clang! Bam!

Rosavellt slammed her sword against his shield thrice and then bashed him with her shield! Artus managed to dodge the bash before he put his hand out and activated the ray of light again! The beam slammed against her shield and he clicked his tongue in annoyance when the shield didn't break! This was the second time she was defending against his Ray of Light and he thought for sure that she would have broken her shield already!

He slid back as she threw another slash at him and this time he changed his plans! He put his hand into his spatial space and withdrew his bishop's mantle! It was a long stick with a cross on top of it! The entire thing was fused with a blessing and just looking at it was enough to make any demons squirm and turn away! But he brought it out because it also helps in creating large area spells!

Rosavellt looked right at the stick with a blank face before charging straight for Artus! She didn't care that the stick had a blessing! She will defend from them if he tries anything stupid! She has to bring this man to master! So no matter what he does, he is not going to win here today!

Artus was a bit shocked that she didn't react at all to the mantle but he didn't let that stop him. He put up his stick and charged up the largest magic circle yet! A giant magic circle made of white light assisted right under his feet before spreading into a huge circle that covered the entire space where they were fighting! Rosavellt looked down in shock when she saw that she was also stuck inside the circle! Artus slammed the stick into the ground and the ray of light shot into the sky!

Booommmmm!!!!!!

Artus had a mad grin on his face as he watched Rosavellt get engulfed by the light! There is no way any demon will survive this! She is definitely dead!

Woosh!!

Only for his expression to change when he saw a sword flying straight towards him!

Squelch!!!

The entire right hand flew off his body as the flying sword took it away! The ray of light died down and Rosavellt was shown with a few blisters and burns on her body! Her maid outfit was torn in various places and she was breathing heavily. But she still had a blank expression on her face! Did the priest think that this will be enough to take me down!? Master told me to bring you to him and that is the only reason why I haven't killed you yet! Stop thinking that your tiny light shows can kill a member of the demon Lord household!!

Artus jumped back as he looked down at his stump on the right side! The skin there was starting to decay because of the curse from Rosavellt's sword but Artus managed to easily heal it and so the curse. He grimaced as the blessing and curses fought for dominance before the blessing finally won out and his skin stopped turning black!! He looked towards the arm that was lying on the ground and then looked down at the stump again. He could reattach the arm but he needs to get it first. It was obvious that Rosavellt wouldn't let him do that!

He can't believe she didn't die from that much holy blessing! That blessing was enough to kill a hundred giants when he was still fighting with the hero! Does that mean this woman is above SS class!? Just how strong is she!? This entire healing didn't even take up to two seconds and Artus was ready to fight again!

Artus held up his bishop's mantle and was about to cast another spell! Rosavellt quickly dashed straight for him! Her sword hovered off the ground and flew into her hand as she jumped at him! But before any of them could do anything a blade suddenly flashed forward and stabbed Artus in the chest! Rosavellt landed back on the ground in front of the priest before she looked back with a glare to face Dracula. What the hell do you think you're doing? Did anyone ask for your help?

Artus looked from the sword in his chest to the two demons with a shock before he fell to his knees. For some reason, he couldn't move at all! He couldn't even speak! Is it a curse from the sword? This is why I wanted to take this sword away from the start! It's too dangerous! If it was only Dracula then he would have surely been able to avoid that sword, it is not fair that someone as strong as Rosavellt also appeared!

Dracula bowed to Rosavellt to apologize for interfering.

"We already finished with the guards and I'm sure the lord will not like to be kept waiting. He won't die from that sword, I made sure to keep him alive but he won't be able to move. We can take him to the lord like this,"

Rosavellt hummed and then dropped her stance. She hated that he interfered, but he was right. They will just be wasting time if the fight was drawn out. But he doesn't need to lie to her, she knew that he just wanted to run the priest through by himself! That sadistic smile on Dracula's face couldn't be hidden at all!
