Ch.0 Prologue to a hell ride

Hero PoV~~~~

This is way to strange, since i arrived at the demon kingdom i havent seen any army or hostile intention towards me who is supposed to be their worst enemy, and on top of that the Demon Lord sends a small fairy to guide me towards him.

Im no genius but is he eager to die or is he so sure about his power? Even so i've spent to much time training and adventuring hunting in dungeons in order to be ready for this fight. So at least i must be able to kill him at the cost of my life. After all there is no way back home and i lost any pillar of strenght i had after HE was gone...*sigh* this is no time to get depressed i must end this and save the people who count on me.

As we keep walking i can see some humans mixed between some demonic races, 'they must be slaves, but oddly enough they dont seem to be malnourished or threated harshly...'

Finally we arrive at the Castle of this Cliché Demon Lord and cursed tale lets end this once and for all.

Entering i can see there is no servants its as if its abandoned but i can feel strong pressure coming from the main hall i guess there is where we are headed.

Fairy:"this is as far as i go, even if the Lord is a gentleman he asked us to not interrupt but know this human, there will be serious consequences if you make the wrong choice"

After she said the last line i could feel heavy pressure emanate from her, isnt the fairy race supposed to be peaceful and good natured, then why do they follow this bastard, did he corrupted them all along?

After she leave im in front of a big double door entrance towards the main hakm where this whole conflict is to come to an end, so lets get it over then.

Pushing the doors and finally making my way towards the center i spot a figure that from my view looks human but oddly familiar.

Demon Lord:" So the old king finally sacrificed his third daughter for the sake of trying to summon you again and this time i was not there to save you from this whole hell i see..."

His voice was familiar but i cant see his face, and what does he means with again and to save me?

Demon Lord:" how long have you been here in this world my dear Chris? I've been here for 2 years and 4 months 15 days, and as i always knew you were smart enough you can make some calculations to understand something from this information."

Whats all that crap he is pulling, i've been here for 1 year and 2 months but something is weird and i start recalling some past events. 2 years ago i was still at my world and with my childhood/boyfriend...you have to be kidding me.

Demon Lord:" Looks like you already got a clue so lets end this charade and show my face."

The Demon snapped his fingers and the lights on the room began to illuminate all the place finally revealing his face and a second pressence behind him.

But the true shocking problem was the face of the Demon Lord....who is not so demonic.

Hero:" you've got to be kidding me you cant be there is no way...."

I'm starting to cry while my knees are trembling, this has to be a lie HE couldnt be the bad guy his principles conflict with each other. Suddenly i recall the specific orders the King gave me.

*Kill the Demon Lord on sight no chance for retaliation and bring my daughter safe back home*

He isnt the boy i used to know so i must not hesitate.

Demon Lord:" Hold on your horses, before doing something you'll regret for the rest of your life"

'The heck is he talking about'

Charging at him with the Holy sword ilnezar, i am able to see the Demon Lord making a sad face but moving at all.

In a couple of seconds i reach him and he receive the sword willingly... 'where is all the pressure i could feel before entering this room'

And the it happened, the sword is supposed to be the bane of the demons and its strenght is a fact i've already tested over and over in those dungeons...'but why does it have no effect on him at all'

Demon Lord:" so are you finally done with the charade of the Demon Lord and the Hero? Christine Fayné!!"

The shout he gave when he called my full name had such power that numbed the arm that was stabbing the sword on his chest and im forced to back down and fall on my knees due to the huge pressure in the hall.

Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

Demon Lord:" So this is the so called 'strongest holy sword' unfortunately im still pretty much Human, strongest and above all the other races but im still human, it should be easy to know why this thing doesnt work on me"

Looking at his chest i can see he is bleeding from the sword but there is no other effect...meaning...'no this cant be true'

Demon Lord:" it is as you have already thought i'm indeed bleeding and most likely to die, but congratulations hope you dont regret the choice.

Elena you know me already and know whats gonna happen so dont panic and tell her what she needs to know, and remember no matter what survive."

After saying that the Demon Lord took the sword and pulled it out of his chest and stabbed it on the floor, while slowly walking away.

This have to be a cruel joke this cannot be true how can fate be this twisted.

Female voice:" Calm down Hero, its not that bad yet...just calm down and let me introduce myself.

I'm princess Elena from the Terius kingdom, im the 'excuse' for this madness and round about the Demon Lord being labeled a criminal of all human kingdom, and yet we both are humans who have seen the worst side of the humanity and hence forth the reason we forsake our own kingdom, every single deed was done by Val, but i can tell you i'm the one who asked for it and we saved more lives than those who were lost and deserved their ending.

But know this from what he told me about you i can say you would at least listen to reason, but seems that you became nothing more than a puppet of the human kingdom. And i just cant believe how he remained so devoted towards you, and he was so happy to finally be able to meet you again, but to be stabbed like that...*sigh*..."

She started looking at me with pity and a little bit of anger but why does she speaks of him as if she knows him...could it be that she likes him? Wasnt she supposed to be brainwashed by him? Was he brainwashed by the entity who is in his body?...but why in god dam hell did he just let me stab him, and on top of that the Holy sword had 0 effect which means there was no evil soul or evil magic inside of him...

And thats the moment i started crying like a little child...everything was starting to make sense but why would the king do that...

Elena:"i guess you are finally aware of the big mistake you have commited, i will never forgive you and sadly while its just a sword injury it still comes from a holy sword and cant be healed by common regenerative power or healing magic...only the gods can do something but there is still the matter of the prophecy...and if worst come to happen, know i wont let you get even 10m close his body..."

Looking as i was the worst kind of monster, but i dont blame her after all, its already done i cant go back and indeed if worst come, he will die ...only the gods can do something but they dont meddle with mortals affairs...'i swear that if he stops breathing i will have that bastard kings head im the top of a stick and hold it infront of the central plaza in Terius' i have never thought of killing other human beings but if this thing is what i think it is he will have a lot to explain and even if there is any reason behind it, there is no way forgive how he manipulated me into killing the only person i would never dare to harm...and he didnt even defended himself...such a cruel fate just how could this happen...
