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

Kacha!

The door to the room where the priests kept Ophis suddenly opened and Ophis turned around quickly to see who was coming in. Ophis saw the Head priest entering the room with that same disgusting smile on his face and her face darkened. She wished she still had her magic. She would use it to destroy every damn church so she never has to see another priest again.

"Ah, Ophis. I'm glad you agreed to come to see me. I've wanted to talk to you for a long time but I haven't had any time at all over the past few days. I've been so busy with the queen and I couldn't leave at all. I'm sure you've missed me,"

Ophis snarled and took a step back when the head priest took a step forward. Who the hell wants to see you!? If not the fact that you fucking kidnapped me, do you think I ever want to see your fucking face again!? These human men were all so delusional! Don't they understand the meaning of no!?

Ophis has told the head priest that she was not interested in him at all and that he should give up on her, but it seems that the man was impossible to get rid of. He was just so determined to get her.

And did he just say that he has been working with the queen for the last few days? Ophis released a tired sigh as she realized exactly what the problem was and why he kidnapped her. It seems the queen already tried to help me.

The priest noticed Ophis sigh and he smiled at her as he closed the door with a click. He was wearing the regular priest's robe and he walked to the side to take off the large sash covering him to reveal a regular cotton robe underneath. Ophis tried her best to stay as far away from him as possible, so as he moved, she was also moving to the side. Once the priest dropped the sash, he spoke up to Ophis.

"I didn't think I would ever get a warning like the one I got from the queen over something like this. No, that wasn't a warning, it was a threat. Yes, the queen threatened me and my position. And for what reason? For you? A bitch that doesn't know her place. Ophis, I know you are a beautiful woman, but I didn't think you were also a fool. Don't you know that there are some thing's that you just. Don't. Do?"

The priest was still smiling, but Ophis could clearly hear the threat within his tone. He was angry at her and it seems he was trying to get revenge now. This fucking bastard. Kidnapping an innocent woman and trapping her in a room just so that you can punish her. Is this the sort of thing a priest of the church should be doing? What's the difference between you and a regular demon on the street? Ophis spoke up while looking around.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Open this door this instant and let me out or else I'll give you something to really worry about. Do you think the queen will be happy when she hears that the head do her church is sending men to kidnap women from the street?"

Ophis glared at the priest and tried her best not to look even slightly worried about her situation. She couldn't show any fear if she wanted to get out of this unharmed. But it was obvious that she was at a disadvantage. She was weaker than any regular man and if the priest attacks her she would only have one chance to fight him off before he overpowers her. She has to play this right. But just in case things didn't work out, Ophis moved her hand towards her gown and held onto it tightly.

The priest chuckled a little and he walked towards Ophis till he was standing in front of her. This wasn't the first time that the priest was trapping a woman in this room, and even though Ophis tried to hide it, he could see the fear in her eyes just like all the others!

Ophis didn't move back this time as she was still trying to put up a strong facade. But it was obviously not working as the priest spoke up calmly.

"You know I've been the priest of this church for over twenty decades. Two whole centuries. The power I wield over the church of Uta is absolute and if I wanted, I could take over this kingdom with nothing but the snap of my finger. The only reason I still left that useless queen on the throne was because I needed her there. She is a good figurehead and the people trust her as one of the comrades of the former hero. But you made a mistake when you thought that her power would be enough to protect you from me. So you believe that she has more say in this kingdom than me? If it is power you wish to cower behind, then you should have sold yourself to that Grand Commander as a common whore. Maybe he would have been able to protect you."

Slap!!

A resounding slap echoed through the room as Ophis smacked the priest across the face! Her eyes were wide in anger and she could see the priest's eyes were wide in shock. Ophis was once a princess and not just any princess. She was the princess of the fucking demon world. She would never allow someone like this to insult her honor. What the fuck does he mean by selling myself like a whore? Has this man gone mad?

"I know you don't know who I really am, but if you ever speak to me like that again, I'll make sure it's the last thing you do even if I die in the process. Now open that door and let me out of here,"

Ophis spoke in a commanding tone that she always used when she was still a princess and she heard the man chuckle once again. He use a hand to touch his cheek and he looked at his hand before turning back to her. Ophis narrowed her eyes at him and dared him to try anything.

Slap!!

Ophis' entire world spun as an unbelievable slap slammed into her cheek and almost knocked her out! The priest slapped Ophis across the face with all the anger and frustration he had been feeling over the last few days and Ophis stumbled back in shock!

She felt the priest grab her hair with his hand and the priest threw her to the ground in anger!

"You think you're better than everyone just because you are a little beautiful, don't you!? Do I know who you are!? Why the hell should I give a damn!? Do you think this world revolves around you and that none deserves to even touch you!? Well, I'll show you exactly what you've been missing, you little whore! I'll show you what I think you are!"

The priest climbed on top of Ophis and Ophis recoiled at the horrible stench that hit her nose as the priest's face came close to her own. He tried to kiss her, but Ophis moved her head to the side and prevented him from getting to her lip! The priest then tried to force her face towards him, but Ophis drew her head back and delivered a massive headbutt that made her see stars at the edge of her vision! That fucking hurts!!

She heard the priest grunt in pain and she was happy that she hurt him too!

She immediately tried to reach for her gown again, but the priest grabbed both her hands and pinned them above her head as he started to mess with his robe. It was obvious that he was trying to bring out his dick to rape her! Ophis started to struggle in his grip and she screamed out for anyone around to help her!

"Scream all you want, bitch. This room is isolated from the rest of the church. No one is coming to help you, you fucking whore!"

The priest finally got his robe loose and he started raising her gown up to expose her panties. But he suddenly touched something on her thigh and he looked down in shock. What the hell is that?

Ka-Boommmmm!!!!!

The priest was startled again as the sky outside the window turned red as a massive explosion rocked the whole of Uta! His eyes widened and he was too shocked to move for a moment, and that was more than enough time for Ophis!

Ophis was not a fool. She always knew that a moment like this would come one day with how much attention she receives from all the men in this kingdom and she always keeps a dagger on her thigh to either defend herself or take her own life before anyone tries anything. She hasn't used the knife all this while because she has been looking for the right moment and that explosion provided her with the perfect opportunity!

Ophis managed to break free from the priest's grip and she grabbed the knife easily since the priest already raised her gown for her!

The priest immediately came back to the present and he cursed as he saw the knife in her hand! He knew he couldn't stop her from stabbing him, so he tried to use his other hand to protect his face but Ophis was never aiming for his face!

"Fuck you!!!"

Stab!!!

Ophis stabbed the knife straight into the man's ear and it came out from the other ear!! She glared with absolute hatred at his shocked expression as she twisted the knife around and drew it out again! Blood splashed all over her face and gown as the dead priest fell on top of her.

Ophis kicked him off and then she sat up while breathing heavily. She swallowed thickly as the speed of her heartbeat finally started to reduce and then she looked up at the window to see what distracted the priest the first time.

Ophis saw the red sky and she immediately knew what was happening.

The demon lord is here.
