How to become a Demon Lord: The Former Hero's Journey as a Demon Lord!

Chapter 24: Travy, The Imp



Pyra finally went on the offensive and she started to receive the blow that Aura was sending at her using her mace instead of just dodging! Four blows, it only took four direct blows from Pyra for her to knock the sword right out of Aura's hands!

Bam!

Once thet was done, the next swing from Pyra sent Aura flying through the sky! Aura flew back in shock before slamming into a pool of blood behind her!

One of her eyes was wide open in shock while the other one was missing! The hit that Pyr hit her with destroyed the entire right side of her body! Her hand, her feet, and even her face were completely destroyed on the right side!

Ah. I see. This is definitely a dream. This cannot be real. There is no way. What kind of demon can do this to an SS class? None. Not even an SS-class demon can challenge an SS-class human! There is no way!

"I think I'll just sleep. Maybe if I sleep, I can wake up again in the real world."

Pyr walked closer to Aura and she heard what the woman said. Pyr scowled before she brought her mace up and dropped it on Aura's head! She didn't want this madness anywhere near her master's castle! The head popped like a melon!

The humans that thought they were about to be rescued were in shock! This was something they never expected to happen! Only one person took on the army and killed them all!? It didn't even take up to two minutes for the fight to be over! How is this even possible!? And what sort of cannon is that!? It looks like some sort of doomsday weapon!!

The human kingdom had mana weapons, but none of the weapons even came close to the cannon that Rizi built! The greatest weapon the humans had was a Mana Bomb that could probably level a small village, but what Rizi's cannon just did was greater than any bomb! The humans all knew that the cannon could be fired again because Rizi was already preparing to send out another blast if she needed to! That means that the cannon can be used over and over again! How is it possible to even fight against such a weapon!?

Back in the castle, Floid was smiling wide as he saw the carnage! He couldn't believe that Mana stones were capable of something like this! Floid always knew that Mana stones were very special and that is why they were so expensive, but he never knew that they were capable of this kind of destruction! This changes a lot of his plans! He could use these mana stones for many of the things he has already planned, and since they are so many of them in the castle then he will not have to change any of his other plans either!!

Ka-cha!

The sound of the door opening made Floid look back and he saw Alucard entering his office. Floid looked at the destruction in the distance one more time with a wide grin before he finally entered the office and went to his seat. Alucard bowed to his master. He could tell that Floid was in a very good mood and it has to be because of what the maids did! They will be happy that the master enjoyed the show!

Floid tried his best to get himself in order before he finally spoke to Alucard.

"How is the village? I hope everything is in order? Did you set up the defenses as I told you to?"

Alucard nodded and said that he did. He then added that there was a large number of demons migrating towards the castle right now. Floid already heard about the emigration from Rosavellt. He didn't even know what to do with those people. They are all homeless demons that I chased away from their land a long time ago! They won't have anywhere to go to if they come here to see me and I don't think there is enough room in this castle to house three thousand demons! Floid thought about the issue and he finally came to decision!

Floid was an investor and every good investor knows how to bet on future projects that show good potential! The large number of demons coming here were all desperate for both shelter and food. They were also looking for any sort of leadership that they can get. This is the perfect opportunity to start raising my own army! The best thing to do is to get all of them on new land. I can use them to raise a large kingdom on this western side of the world. A kingdom large enough to challenge Uta and the other kingdoms in the east!

But to feed a large number like this then I will need a broker! That problem that Floid thought of before came back to haunt his mind again! He needed someone that can help him acquire enough food to feed these people! Floid knew that the food from the farm and the 20,000 seeds that he got from his system will be able to feed everyone after a few months or years of letting them grow. But before then, he needs to get another source of food!

And another issue was the wood and supplies for building housing for these demons! Floid out his head in his hand! He has to find someone that can provide all of these things without bringing suspicion to the demons! I'm sure that the humans would do anything to stop us from acquiring supplies if they knew about it!

"My lord, is there a problem?"

"No. No, just stay silent for a moment. I'm trying to think,"

Floid put up his hand and waved Alucard to the side and Alucard bowed before he walked to the side of the room and stood at attention while waiting for his master to finish!

Floid then started to trace his mind back! He knows that he has met someone who can help him! He was sure of it! But the issue with him right now is that he cannot remember the person! It was so long ago that he met that person as the hero and Floid would have never guessed that the merchant he met in the game would ever prove to be useful again!

It took Floid about thirty seconds of silence before his head shot up and he looked towards Alucard excitedly! He remembered!

"Alucard! Do you know of an Imp named Travy? I've heard that he has been busy near the human kingdom lately?"

Alucard hummed regally while thinking. Imps were the race of demons that involved themselves in trading the most! As traders, they usually try to make some trades in the human black market and even some humans buy from them. But how did the lord know of a specific imp? I've never bothered to learn any of their names before.

"My lord, I have not heard of that specific imp before. But, if you wish for it, then I will send out a familiar and they will find out where he is,"

Floid nodded and Alucard bowed as he left! The reason why Floid was looking for this specific Imo was simple. This imp was a demon trader that specified in human wares and supplied his products to the army. And there was the problem! This is a demon that is supplying the humans with necessities for their army! How can he do this? There isn't a single human in the world that will trust a demon, not even the humans in the army! But, It was simple, really.

The last time that Floid met Travy in the game, Travy was impersonating a human. Travy was someone that had the special power to shapeshift into any look he wants with illusion magic. Everywhere in the world, he is known only as a human called Kieth. He shapeshifted and fooled everyone in the kingdom into believing he was a human!

Floid knew all this was because he read about it in the game. Floid was very impressed with Travy and that is one of the only reasons why Floid even remembered him at all!

Floid waited for Alucard to come back from the message that he sent him, and it didn't take even ten minutes before Alucard came back and bowed again before answering.

"Master, I have found him. He is on the Eastern side of the kingdom of Trad, in a human town known as Youta. I think that he is... Living with humans,"

Alucard frowned in distaste and Floid only smiled at his butler's hatred of humanity. All of his servants were so enthusiastic about their hatred!! Alucard looked like the mere thought of living with humans made his skin crawl! Well, it's too bad, Alucard. We're going into the human kingdom right now.

Floid said this to Alucard and he expected some sort of resistance but Alucard didn't even resist a little. Alucard already knew that Floid would be going to meet the imp and Alucard resigned himself to traveling to the human kingdom. He will just have to withstand all those humans for a few days at most
