Lestia's atmosphere had clearly changed.
Her appearance remained human.
No, if I look closely, I can see fangs extending from her mouth ......?
Her ears are also pointed like knives.
However, that was the only notable change.
It's not that she looks like a demon.
However - unlike the appearance, which is much the same, the magic power that it wears has changed greatly.
The ...... level is different.
I too think I have an overwhelming amount of magical power, and I have even overwhelmed a high-ranking demon .
Compared to me, this one's magic power was off a different level.
"Did you believe me? I'm the Demon Lord."
"......Why is the Demon King in such a place?"
I looked at Lestia.
What's going on?
There's no such development in the game.
There is no such character as Lestia in the game.
The Demon Lord in the game doesn't look like this.
Everything is different from the game.
"I'm going to be frank with you. Will you be my subordinate?"
Restia smiled.
Ah, this is a standard RPG development.
The Demon Lord asks a hero to become his subordinate.
But I'm not a hero, I'm a villainous aristocrat.
"I'm sorry ......, but even if I became the Demon Lord's subordinate, I would only be defeated by the hero."
/A hero? Who is it?”
Lestia nodded her head.
Oh, I see.
In this world, at this time, there is no hero yet.
No one even knows that a hero will appear.
Except for me, who knows about the game.
However, there may be those who have predicted the emergence of a hero from ancient myths and the like.
At the very least, the Demon King is probably aware of it.
That a hero will emerge in the not-too-distant future.
“Aren't you the most likely candidate to become a hero? You are the strongest magician among human beings, no matter how I look at it, right? And that too, by a long shot."
I'm the hero...?”
I was confused by the unexpected words.
But, if asked, it might be a reasonable way of thinking.
From the point of view of someone who does not know the game's storyline - the “future destiny” - it is natural to think that I, the strongest magician (or so it seems) of humanity at the moment, am the most suitable for the role of the hero.
But no.
I am not a hero.
I am not the one to save the world.
Quite the opposite.
I am destined to be a villain who brings the world to the brink of disaster.
And I'm trying to resist it.
"If you're going to be a hero in the future and you're in cahoots with the Demon King, you're invincible, right?"
"I'm not invincible. When that occurs, there will be someone to defeat me."
I looked at Lestia.
"I will not become a subordinate of the Demon King. In order to survive."
I shouted!
I increase my magical power.
So that I will be prepared for battle at any time.
“I will be on the side that will fight the Demon Lord.”
