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

Chapter 42 Lake Arizod

[The Quest [Recapture the town of Noir] has now been completed and the rewards will be distributed]

[New Major Quest: Eradicate all human towns in your territory in preparations for your invasion of Aquinas]

[Reward: Dual Casting]

Once Floid got rid of Artus, this tab showed up in his vision. Dual casting? This was one of the abilities he had as a hero. He could cast two spells at the same time and overwhelm the opponent.

Floid wondered if he could also overlay one spell over another one and even use one spell to change the properties of another spell?

Like casing the [Fireball] skill with the [Earth Lance] to create [Flaming Earth Lance]. He would have to test it out later.

On that night, the town of Noir was loud and the streets flowed with enough blood to paint the town red! Out of the three hundred people that lived in the town, there were only fifty people that survived. The vampires captured them and locked them in the same dungeons where the humans used to keep the demons.

The vampires knew that they would need food for a while so that they can get themselves back on their feet and these humans would serve as their food source for a while!

Floid heard all of this from the report that Dracula gave him. Floid was sitting in a large room inside the church in the center of the town. The vampires had gotten rid of all the blessed materials and it was now a regular mansion where they could have meetings! Floid knew that the achievements that he made here were very impressive, but to him it wasn't what he wanted. He was still moving too slowly. He has only captured two towns lately and the large area that he rules over now still had many human towns in it.

The rewards from the system gave Floid 5 million acres of land! That large area is everything on the western part of Rivalle! It was a very big area that covered all of the towns and villages on this side of the world! Floid decided that since he was sure that there was no more opposition on this side of the world, he would capture every single town on the western side of Rivalle as soon as possible. Noir was the last frontier town in western Rivalle and since there were no survivors from the town, no one can go and warn Uta or Aquinas. Right now, no one knew that Floid had taken over the town of Noir.

Floid looked up at Dracula once the man finished giving the report and he immediately started to speak! Floid wanted Dracula to get his coven ready for the invasion that he was planning! Floid wanted them to take over every single town in the western part of Rivalle. If they can take over those towns and liberate the demons there as well then it will allow them to have more soldiers for when they start their attack on Aquinas!

Floid told Dracula that he should recruit any demons around the area and then the vampires in his coven will join forces with the demons and start to clear out villages every night from now on. The demon soldiers that Floid had in Hampshire would also spread out and they will attack villages and take over the land during the day. Dracula bowed respectfully to Floid as he accepted the orders!

In Dracula's mind, Floid was giving him this task as a test! Dracula already failed Floid once and this is a chance for him to redeem himself! He will make sure that he doesn't fail his leader!

Once Dracula left, someone else came into the room. Pyra came in after Dracula and she gave Floid a small bow before talking.

"Lord Dragonnel has requested your presence, master. He says that the preparations are now ready. I do not know what he is preparing for, but he said that you would be aware of it,"

Floid eyes widened a little in surprise once he heard this. So that lizard finally found it!? Floid was shocked that it happened so fast. I thought it would take longer for him to do it! Floid stood up and told Pyra to close the door as she left. Pyra immediately left and Floid took off his jacket as he opened a portal and walked inside.

The portal led Floid directly to the training room where he and Dragonnel always had their sessions. Floid looked around the place for Dragonnel but the dragon wasn't there. Was he running late? Floid was about to use a communication magic circle to talk to the dragon, but before he could, another blue portal appeared in front of Floid all of a sudden! It had ice around the edges and Floid immediately knew that this was Dragonnel's portal! He walked through and he appeared in a cave that had a small lake in the middle. There was a hole in the roof of the cave and a bright blue light shone down from the ceiling and into the water making it glow beautifully.

Dragonnel was standing to one side as he waited for Floid. Floid only kept his eyes on the water as he walked toward it. So this is Lake Arizod? Floid already read about this lake in the Rivalle Wiki and he has been waiting for a long time for Dragonnel to find it. Seeing it in the pictures online didn't do it justice at all! It was beautiful!

Beneath this lake was something that he knew he just had to have. The demon sword, Asmodeus. It was the sword of the first demon king that he hid here a long time ago. It would have been impossible to find this place if he didn't have the knowledge of its general location from that wiki. He was glad that Dragonnel found it so easily.

"You did brillinant work, Dragonnel. I didn't think that you would even find it. It's exactly how I thought it would look,"

Floid bent and he allowed the tip of his finger to run along the surface of the water. Dragonnel felt pride fill him when he heard his lord praise him. Dragonnel had to fly for three days straight before he could find this cave and it was only because he had magnificent eyesight as a dragon that he even saw it! It was hidden very deep inside a mountain range and the cave was buried under an entire mountain! The only thing that allowed Dragonnel to find it was that hole on the ceiling that connected to the surface!

Dragonnel didn't know what Floid was looking for in this cave. He only knew that it was important.

Floid needed more power. He could just continue absorbing skills from people but he didn't want to only rely on the system feature of duplicate. What if he ran into a power that he could not copy? He remembered that he couldn't copy Valkyrie's skill when he fought her. He was just lucky that he was stronger than her and that was the reason he won against her so easily! Floid wanted a weapon that would allow him to come out on top even if he is in an unfavorable position, and this sword was perfect!

Floid started to take off his clothes and Dragonnel was shocked! Was his lord actually going inside !?

"My lord! This lake isn't the sort of place you can swim into, there are dangerous creatures inside."

Dragonnel said this with a serious expression but Floid ignored it. Floid already knew what Dragonnel was talking about so he didn't let that worry him. Inside the lake was the home of the mermaids. They were a race of demons that the first demon lord saved a long time ago and they swore to help him protect his sword till the time when a demon Lord would need it again. If Floid goes in there they will definitely try to kill him. The mermaids don't know that he is the demon lord. They are not like regular demons so they can't feel his demonic power. They will think that Floid is just another man they can lure into their kingdom. But Floid didn't need to be bothered. They have a rule about not killing the people who come to try and take the demon sword without letting him meet their Queen. They wouldn't even have a choice.
