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

Alucard's eyes turned red and he crouched.

"Here I come."

Ka-Boommmmm!!!!!

The entire castle shook this time as Akucard shot off the ground and went after Floid! Floid's eyes widened at the speed of Alucard's movement and he quickly moved out of the way as Alucard shot towards him! Floid couldn't even see Alucard activate a speed skill! So that means that all this is just through pure power!? Alucard immediately planted his foot into the ground and followed Floid's movement directly!

[Mesmerize] has been activated!

Floid's eyes turned a darker shade of red for a second as Alucard caught him in his skill but Floid quickly grit his teeth as he fought through the effects of the mesmerize and his eyes turned back to his normal color! But that second was more than enough for Alucard and Alucard quickly changed his direction!

Boom!

Alucard's force was so intense that once he stopped moving, just the air pressure from him was enough to create a Sonic boom! He sent a kick straight for Floid and Floid quickly brought up the katana to block it!

[Diamond Skin] has been activated!

Crack!

The sword cracked down the middle and Floid cursed at the useless piece of shit! How does a sword crack from one hit!? Floid flipped out of the way from the kick and he threw the sword to one side as he stared at Alucard calmly. Floid was able to activate Diamond Skin the moment that Alucard hit him so Floid wasn't even slightly injured. Floid copied the skill once he saw Alucard use it and Floid realized that the skill was just a higher version of the [Greater Hardening] skill that he already had!

"Am I still not worthy of your sword, master?"

Alucard asked this question when he saw that Floid was still not bringing out his sword and Floid felt his lip twitch up to a small smile. Alucard wasn't showing it, but Floid could tell that Alucard was very annoyed right now! It wasn't like Floid was trying to insult Alucard by not bringing out the sword, but the sword didn't feel the need to come out right now. Maybe if Alucard was really not holding back anymore then they could fight with the demon sword.

"I would rather not kill you Alucard. Do you think you can survive if that sword seeks your blood?"

[Bloodlust] has been activated!

It was like the room suddenly drowned in anger! For the first time in his life, Floid felt threatened by bloodlust as Alucard almost covered the entire caste in it! Alucard was a vampire and since he had a lot of blood-based skills, the amount of bloodlust that he could release was also very high! But Floid was not going to be outdone by his own servant as he activated his own bloodlust!

[Bloodlust] has been activated!

Doon!

The two battled for supremacy as they stared each other down! If anyone was in this room with them, then they would have surely died from the pressure alone! Just the bloodlust in the room was almost the same as hitting someone with an SSS class skill!

Alucard's hand tightened around his knives and he didn't waste any time as he quickly ran in again for another round! Floid put his hand into fists and took on a fighting stance. He didn't need a weapon for this.

Boommm!

The entire castle shook as the two of them demolished the training room in their light sparring.

Rumble!!

Quinn was working with Lilith and Ophis in the maid's action of the castle and they could feel the entire castle shaking as Floid and Alucard sparred! Quinn looked up worriedly as some rocks fell from the ceiling!

"Do they want to bring the whole place down!? I don't even know what sort of sparring they're doing that can make the castle shake like this!?"

All the maids in the castle were instructed by Rosavellt to leave the area where Alucard and Floid would be fighting because they might get killed by the bloodlust coming from the room! Quinn didn't believe that bloodlust alone was enough to kill someone at first, but now that she was hearing the sort of sounds that were coming from that room and she could feel the intense oppression of the two fighters, she knew that Rosavellt was right!

.......

Back in Volcanica, Elias and Dray were also inside a training room as they sparred against each other. Well, it seemed like sparring, but it was really just Elias beating the shit out of Dray. Ever since the incident that happened with the adventurers before, Elias and the rest of the group were banned from going anywhere near the bar! Elias managed to kill four people and he injured thirteen of them before the guild master came out and finally stopped him! Elias didn't give a fuck about the ban because he didn't like the bar anyway, and he knew that he could simply ignore the ban if he wanted to.

Phwosh!

A pillar of fire erupted from in front of Elias and he snapped his finger and activated one of his lowest wind-based skills!

[Wind blade] has been activated!!

The wind blade tore straight through the fire and went towards Dray at intense speeds! Dray quickly jumped out of the way and watched as the wind blades tore the wall behind him into pieces! If he had stayed there then the wind blades would have definitely killed him!

Wasn't this just parring!? Why is Elais taking it so seriously!?

Dray shot towards Elias with his hands coated with flames. Ever since he got the contract with Givalich, Dray has become far better at controlling his fire. He could now use it for longer periods and he doesn't even feel the pain in his chest that he usually felt whenever he was about to use mana! He got to Elias and started swinging to try and get a clean hit on him, but Elias dodged around all of them!

Elias slapped away a punch he stomped down on Dray's feet before headbutting him back! Dray almost stumbled back but his foot was being held down by Elias and he couldn't go anywhere as Elias sent another headbutt at him!

But Dray was already prepared and he slammed his palm into Elias' chest with a sinister grin!

[Magic Resonance: Sea of Black Fire!!]

A great blast of black fire erupted from Dray's hand and Elias' eyes narrowed as he saw it happening! He quickly took his feet off Dray's chest and created a vortex of air around himself as the explosion hit him!

Boommm!!!!

Elias was pushed back by the explosion and Dray cleaned a line of blood that trickled down from his nose after Elias headbutted him! Dray was already sure that Elias would not get hit by something like that. It was easy for Elias to just defend against it. But Dray was just glad that he got a clean hit on the bastard!

Dray immediately looked to see if Elias was still coming for him, but once he looked up he was stunned when he didn't see Elias at all!! where did that bastard go to? Dray kept his guard up and he didn't allow the sudden disappearance to affect him at all! He turned to the side when he felt a gust of wind coming from there and he immediately threw a wave of fire in that direction!

Phwoom!

The fire surged across the room and it only burnt air as Dray was left wondering where the hell Elias was! Elias wasn't there and he wasn't in any place that Dray could see! Deay was getting more and more frustrated as time went on, and before long he just growled and released black fire in every direction in the room!

Boom!

But before he could completely burn the room down, he was hit from behind by a large gust of wind and he was thrown to the ground! Elias appeared out of nowhere as he deactivated his camouflage skill [Hidden tempest]! It was a skill that vibrated air molecules at a very high rate so that anyone that looked at him won't be able to tell that he is there!

Dray immediately tried to counterattack with his black fire but Elias wouldn't even let him get up as another gust of wind blew Dray into the wall of the training room! Elias released another gust and he pinned Dray to the wall as the constant wind threatened to extinguish all of the black fire that surrounded Dray. Elias' face was blank and he regarded Dray with impassivity as he spoke.

"What have I told you about your stupid black fire? I don't know if I should be impressed at your ability to not listen or angry that you are such an idiot."

Dray growled at Elias in irritation.
