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

The resonance immediately transported everyone into the cave once more and Reginald first ordered hundred of undead to attack Dragonnel! He would first get rid of the biggest threat here. Dragonnel is the first person that had to die!

But even as a horde of skeletons ran towards him, Dragonnel remained impassive. He was standing beside Rosavellt and waiting for his master's orders. Dragonnel didn't move a muscle, but once the skeletons got close to Dragonnel they immediately shattered like glass! Dragonnel didn't even need to activate a skill, he just released a bit of his Mana and the space around Dragonnel was so cold that the bones of the skeleton became brittle and shattered

Reginald's eyes widened as he was shocked by this! How is this possible!? Dragonnel is meant to be low on Mana!! How is he still able to freeze my undead familiars?!?

"So this is resonance? No wonder it's a stronger form of magic. If I was anyone else then this would be the end of me,"

Floid was looking around the cave. like he was a tourist checking out the sights. One of his eyes was white with a magic circle around it as Floid activated his ocular magic skill [True Sight]. This was the skill that Floid got after he passed the quest for attacking Noir. Floid didn't know the full capabilities of this eye, because the description only told him that he would be able to 'See beyond all illusions'. But Floid knew that one of the properties of the eye is that it can see raw mana.

Floid was interested in what a resonance really looked like since this is the first time he would be seeing one and so he decided to activate the eye. It was very impressive! He knew that other resonances wouldn't look like this at all, they would all be different, but that didn't make this any less impressive. Floid could feel an enormous amount of mana concentrated in this cave! Everything in here was made with Mana! Even the wall was made from Mana and the river flowing in the middle of the cave looked like raw mana was flowing in front of him! Floid wondered what his resonance would look like.

Floid was not yet an SSS-class mage and so he didn't have a resonance yet. But he was sure that he would soon get his MP up to a million! He swore it!

"Don't you dare ignore me!"

Reginald grew angry as Flood just kept on ignoring him. Reginald put his hand up and called hundreds of familiars to attack Floid. Floid decided that he wouldn't kill Reginald yet. It wasn't because of some stupid empathic feeling from Reginald being Rosavellt's brother. No, it was because Floid needed Reginald to answer for his crimes.

What the fuck was he doing in my kingdom and what is he looking for? I won't kill him till he tells me about these things, instead, I'll take him back to the castle first. But if he doesn't answer me, then I'll torture him. I'll torture him till there's nothing left but a broken and empty husk of a man who begs for death.

Floid waved his hand and activated [Earth Lance] and hundreds of lances immediately burst out from the ground around him! They skewered the skeletons like meat and left them hanging in the air! Floid ignored the shocked expression on Reginald's face as he spoke.

"What are you doing in my territory? You've been a pain in my side for the past week and I won't overlook something like that."

Floid asked this in a tired tone but Reginald wasn't even listening to him! So what f he can create a few hundred [Earth Lances]!? He is just a child so there is nothing he can do to defeat me! The fact that his skeletons were killed didn't stop Reginald! He immediately called a thousand more skeletons! This is his resonance and he doesn't have any limitations here! He can call as many skeletons as he wants!

Reginald was stone-faced and it was obvious that he wouldn't stop fighting. He simply waited for his familiars to attack! Even if Floid was strong, there is no way he will be strong enough to stop a thousand familiars! If he can stop a thousand, then I'll call ten thousand and if that still isn't enough, then I'll call a hundred thousand! I have to show this child that there is a big difference between him and me!

Floid immediately put his hand into his spatial space!

"Asmodeus"

The demon sword of lust.

Floid remembered learning about Asmodeus a long time ago when he was on earth. Asmodeus was the demon of lust that massacred thousands of men because he lusted for their wives. But the demon sword was different, it only lusted after one thing.

Mana

The demon sword wanted Mana above all else! And it would destroy everything around it just so it can take in more Mana! So once Floid pulled it out, it immediately started to absorb all the mana around it! Everyone put their hands to their face as a fierce wind blew across the cave! Asmodeus tore out mana from everything and sucked it in like a vacuum!! All the familiars immediately burst into particles of Mana and Asmodeus absorbed them! The river running through the middle of the cave also stopped and dispersed into raw Mana as Asmodeus absorbed it too!

Reginald's face was filled with shock as he saw his Resonance being dismantled by a single sword! What sort of sword is that!? He has never heard of a sword that can absorb this much Mana! Reginald cursed when he realized that his Mana was also being absorbed! That sword isn't something he can fight right now! He doesn't have much Mana left after performing two resonances and the sword is already taking the rest of it! He has to get out of here before his resonance is completely destroyed!

But before Reginald could even move, Floid brought up the sword and slashed down once!

Shink!

There was a sound of metal cutting through stone that echoed through the entire cave and then everything in front of Floid immediately split in two!

Doon!

The entire construct broke in half and then burst into Mana particles and everyone inside the Resonance was immediately sent back to the real world. Floid looked down at the sword and saw that it was still absorbing his Mana. This greedy bastard.

"W-What? What the hell?"

Reginald's eyes were wide as he looked at Floid. He has never heard of anyone cutting a Resonance before! The [Magic Resonance] was a manifestation of Reginald's strongest spell! It was not something that should be cut so easily! But Floid managed to cut it using only one slash!

Reginald tried to take a step back so he could run, but he immediately wobbled and fell face-first to the ground with a Splat!

The cut that Floid sent through his Resonance also cut off the right side of Reginald's body! Reginald was shocked! He didn't even feel anything touch him so how was that sword able to cut him!?

Reginald could only lay on the ground with wide eyes! He didn't even feel Floid cut him so he had no idea how the right side of his body was missing!

Asmodeus was so sharp that it could inflict damage without you even noticing! Floid's intention was to cut everything in front of him, so the sword immediately obeyed and cut everything! Including Reginald!

Floid dropped Asmodeus back in his spatial space and walked over to Reginald before stepping on Reginald's head with a blank face.

"Well, at least you're quiet now, your voice is very annoying. So tell me, what were you doing in my territory?"

Floid pressed down on Reginald's head and Reginald groaned in pain! He was too weak to activate any of his attack skills and the right side of his body hurt like a bitch! But his mouth was still sharp!

"You stupid man-child! Fucking piece of demon trash!! Just wait till I get my hands on you next time! I'll fucking kill you!"

A portal opened up under Reginald and Floid rose a brow. Who the hell said you could leave here alive?

[Flash Freeze]

Floid activated a skill and everything under him froze! A layer of ice flashed into existence over the portal and prevented Reginald from falling through. What an idiot. You really thought I would just let you go? Reginald's face was filled with shock once he realized that he was trapped with Floid. Floid glared in anger.

"You're really underestimating how cruel I can be, Reginald,"
