I Am Demon Lord In This Life
02 - Heir of Styx

"Lord, not this time either" Alvic has been my right-hand man since my father's death and my appointment as the new Lord.

"Hahh, continue the search. I won't stop until I find him" I took a deep breath. This time also failed, my job is to find the perpetrator who killed my father.

"Lord, it's time to rest. Please don't force yourself" Alvic said as he tidied up some of the documents on my desk.

It has been a year since that day, until now I have not been able to meet the perpetrator.

That night, one Orc village was massacred along with the Demon army. After combing through all the area, going deeper into the forest, down the river, even to the slopes on the nearest mountain, we still could not find any traces or clues.

They were killed by something invisible.

I am now 15 years old, very young to lead a Demon race that can be up to hundreds of years old.

Every day I never forget the practice, not forgetting to also do my duty as a Lord, I almost do everything alone.

Surviving in the middle of nowhere, losing the people I can trust the most is hard. Every day feels like hell.

"Please forgive me Lord, a group of goblins came to the front of the gate. They asked for help" I who had been back in my room to rest was called back by Alvic.

"Don't I say we don't have to care about them. I want to rest Alvic."

In anticipation of the same event repeating itself, I made a pretty heavy decision, we closed the main gate of the Styx Kingdom. That way outsiders would not need to enter the Styx and establish a relationship with the Demon race.

...****************...

"Have you taken care of those goblins?" I asked the head of Alvic, thinking back about the Goblin he mentioned yesterday.

"They're so stubborn, Lord. I've already expelled them even a little threatening them. But they are not afraid in the least. Please forgive me, Lord" replied Alvic a little frustrated.

"Where are they now?"

Stix Main Gate, they built a rest tent in front of him. What the fuck are those goblins? What do they really want?

From the guard post above the gate, I decided to jump down and look at their situation directly.

The dilapidated tent that was made was really just for rest, not much luggage, the Goblin that was here was also a young Goblin without adult Goblins and children. Their condition is also quite bad because it is full of wounds.

"Oh, who are you, sir?" a Goblin from behind greeted me.

Right now I'm wearing a robe with my head covered by the hood of his robe, their faces don't know.

The Demon race was clearly a difference, human-like body structure but had one between a pair of horns or wings. Whereas I am a Demon with a single horn, the last and only descendant of the first Absolute Demon.

"Lucifer, this country is mine" I continued, opening the veil that covered my face slightly and turning around.

"Ohh, jeez. Please forgive me for my leniency, Lord of Styx" the Goblin exclaimed then bowed to me. Thanks to his call, all the Goblins came and bowed to me.

"What are you doing, stand up" I said coldly.

Hearing my orders, they hesitated to stand. But after seeing me, they started to shed tears with happy faces.

Huh huh? What the hell is going on here?

"What do you guys want? Go, we don't accept outsiders" I continued coldly.

"No, no, please wait, sir. Can you hear us for a minute? There is no longer a place for us to ask for a bit of pity" said the Demon who first greeted me.

"Anne prepare the troops and protect the city. Arce take the Goblins to the back mountain" I ordered the two Demon Scouts commanders to get ready for the attack.

"Me-they're coming again"

"How now??"

From behind me, the goblins were rumbling with faces full of fear.

"Lord, i-this-"

"Hahh, I understand the situation. Go"

There was no other choice at the moment, the creature that came at such a high speed would probably harm the citizens of Styx.

"Oy you, I know you're there. Come out" The foolish creature, whence its abnormal and strange Magic spread everywhere. Who can't feel?

"HIHIHIHIHI, Ouch, Harley was found out. HIHIHIHI, that's so funny" a girl appeared from behind a tree, laughing with a psycho face with nails that were bleeding from being bitten.

His body was thin and pale, his thin cheeks revealed his skeleton bones, his clothes were seedy and broken, and his long black hair swept across the ground as he walked towards me.

"You, are you human?" ask me to get ready to pull my sword out.

"Hemms?? A human? I don't know, Harley doesn't know, HIHIHIHIHI" replied the suspicious girl again laughing with her crazy face.

"What do you want, go" I said trying to stay out of the fight.

"Ehhhh?? Ja-don't drive Harley, I, I want to play, don't push Harley" suddenly she screamed hysterically, started pulling her hair aggressively and then her Magic Mana started to explode.

The girl claiming to be Harley was slowly beginning to lose her consciousness. His eyeballs turned completely black while his face smiled full of excitement.

"Come on, let's play with Harley. HIHIHI" The girl started to float, along with that the sky became dark and lightning started to strike.

"Arce, Anne protect the townspeople. I'll take care of this disaster."

WHUUSHHHHHHHHHHWAS...

I flew as fast as I could with my magic. Start approaching him and attack him with my sword.

"HIH, This is fun. Let's play again!!" the thrill gets more excited.

"Demon Flame" I cast a spell, it didn't take long for a blazing black flame to come out of my hand and burn the girl.

"Hahahaha, that's hot tau. Now it's my turn, yeah"

From above the sky with black clouds, hundreds of electric needles appeared. In a split second, all the needles fell and rained down on me.

While making a barrier with the Flame Demon, I held back that rain of electric needles.

"It's good that it's not over town, this girl is quite a hassle".

But I'm not that weak either. While my fire barrier was withstanding the rain of needles, I chanted another spell. It is quite difficult but not impossible to do.

"Woahhh, that, that's a big sword!!"

Right, I coated my sword with solidified black flames. This is the style I learned from my father, this great relic will certainly not lose.
