Chapter 28: How Are You Alive!?

Lilith ducked under a particularly vicious swing and she put her hands up as Valkyrie's knee flew towards her face!! The knee strike didn't hurt as much as it should have because of the defensive ability but that didn't stop Lilith from being blasted down the street! Lilith cursed as she flipped back and stopped herself in a crouch. She looked at her forearms and saw that there was a large red bruise there! Her defensive magic failed! Lilith quickly cast another one on herself as she heard a loud shout down the street!

"What is it with you and defensive magic!?"

Boom!!!

Valkyrie's hand suddenly slammed into Llikths stomach and Lilith spit out a wad of blood as she felt the hand break through the defensive magic like it was a joke! Lilith flew back and stumbled down the street while Valkyrie grimaced as she saw some blood on her hand. Ew. Demon blood. She then started talking while cleaning her hand.

"What is wrong with you, Lilith! You don't see me making a defensive armor around myself, do you!? I'm just fighting like a normal person! I don't even use any spells to attack! Why are you trying to dishonor a fight with your defensive spells!?"

Because you're going to fucking kill me if I don't use it. Lilith thought this as she spat her blood out of her mouth while forcing herself onto her feet. She knew that the heroes became stronger after the demon Queen was defeated, but she never knew that they were this strong! It was too much of a difference! Lilith was an SS class Mage! She knew what she was capable of! But this difference is unbelievable! Lilith feels like a child being toyed with!

Lilith and Valkyrie were about to continue their fight, but the sound of footsteps approaching made the two of them tense for different reasons. Lilith could feel the power coming her way and she knew that it was the demon lord immediately! Meanwhile, Valkyrie could smell that it was two demons coming! Strong ones!

Floid stepped into the street with his white ensemble and he saw the two women looking at him like they have just seen a ghost. Alucard was standing behind Floid and the vampire could feel irritation fill him when he saw the two women. So they are the ones that made his lord waste his tike like this?

Floid looked from left to right. The street was empty and there were only the four of them under the moonlight. He rose his hand in a wave.

"Please, don't mind me. I was just curious about what was happening here. I won't stop you at all...um, Valkyrie, right? Yes, that's your name,"

Floid smiled at the stunned woman. Valkyrie's hands were shaking. Her entire body was vibrating like she was one second away from having a seizure! She couldn't believe her eyes! This is the hero! The hero is here! No. No. No! That is impossible. We killed you. We killed you a hundred years ago.

"We killed you,"

Valkyrie only said these three words in shock to Floid and Floid was actually surprised to hear it. Oh, that explains a lot. I've been wondering why I suddenly disappeared from the world a hundred years ago while all my comrades were still here and being hailed as heroes. So it was a matter of betrayal?

"I said we killed you! Why the fuck are you here and how are you a demon!

Once she said this, Floid got a notification from his system.

Ding!

Floid walked forward and he smiled when he saw Valkyrie jump back while holding her sword in front of her. Floid ignored her and went to Lilith. Lilith was still standing, but Floid could see that she was on her last leg. She would have died if he was a little late. Floid took off his long white coat and put it on her and Lilith turned to him in surprise. He accepted?

"You will not be a member of my household. I already told you that the offer for that was off the table. But I will take you in. Like a stray cat caught in the rain."

Floid walked past her and Lilith held tighter onto his coat as she bowed her head in thanks. She didn't feel insulted by what he said since he was still taking her in. And he was right, he already offered her membership once and she refused it. She didn't have a right to be a member again.

Floid stopped a few meters away from Valkyrie and he spoke to her.

"I don't know what you think I am. But the hero that you killed is dead. You killed him. I am someone new. My name is Floid Demonheart, and I am the demon lord! Remember it for the last moments of your life,"

There was a sharp threat in his voice and Valkyrie tried her best to calm down. She couldn't get flustered here. It didn't matter if he was the demon lord or the hero. Floid was still the same Floid. His name didn't change from the time when he was a hero and so he might still be the same person!

But how is he still alive? He can't possibly have survived after what we did to him. Is he really Floid? Maybe a descendant? Valkyrie shook her head! It didn't really matter at all! It was still the same either way! He is a demon and so he has to die!

Valkyrie brought her sword forward and braced to attack.

Valkyrie kept her eye on all three demons while calming herself down so that the world moved in slow motion. There were three of them but it wouldn't be too hard for her to deal with them. She just has to take enough damage from them to allow her to grow stronger. The most dangerous person here is that man at the back. I don't know what kind of demon he is but he is one of the faster types. Maybe something like a vampire? I have to keep my eye on him the most.

[Rapid Strike]

"You'll die if you ignore me too much,"

Valkyrie's heart skipped a beat as a voice whispered from beside her! Floid! She quickly swung her sword around to try and attack him but the sword was stopped dead in its tracks by two fingers!
