How To Be A Demon lord: The Former Hero's Journey As A Demon Lord!

Chapter 263  The Demon Lord does Not Forgive A Second Time

"You are both coming with me. I am sure that the intruder can not be alone, so we will find out where the rest of them are hiding."

Andromeda said this to both Dracul and Talia as she began to slither away hurriedly and both Dracula and Talia quickly followed after her. Andromeda knew that she needed to report this to the demon lord as soon as possible. This is one of the biggest problems that they have had since that idiotic Grand Commander that attacked them! How could they let someone get this close to the demon castle!? And not only did they get close, they even managed to attack the demon castle before we could stop them! The demon lord is going to punish us severely!

Andromeda felt goosebumps traveling up her arms in fright as she wondered what the demon lord will do to them because of this! They were in serious trouble and it was all because of their ignorance!

Since they are already in trouble, the best thing they can do for themselves is to find out where that woman came from. Maybe that will be enough to reduce the anger that Andromeda knew the demon lord will direct at them. Dracula was Alucard's son and Andromeda knew that Dracula would also have the same familiar that his father had. A flying bat familiar. It is rare to have a familiar that can fly, so Andromeda is going to use him to scour through the entire continent until they find the intruders. Meanwhile, Andromeda is going to send Talia's familiar into the sea to search in there. Andromeda was not going to leave any stone unturned in this search!

No one even bothered to ask about the troll boy that sacrificed his life in service of the demon lord. That sort of death is what every demon would consider an honor and it is pointless to mourn someone whose death was so grand. The boy will be remembered by every other troll as a hero and that was it!

After Andromeda put both Dracula and Talia to work and sent them out of the castle, she made her way back to the maid's quarters and slithered toward Rizi's room. The two of them were the only members of the household that were still in the demon castle, so they were the ones in charge of solving all problems.

Rizi was looking at a map and chewing her bottom lip when Andromeda saw her in her room. Rizi gave Andromeda a nod before she suddenly spoke up.

"There is too much ground to be covered by Dracula. I don't know if he is strong enough to do all of it. He isn't like Alucard that can make thousands of bats at once. He can make a hundred at most before the familiars become too weak"

Rizi said this in a worried tone and Andromeda looked down at the map worriedly before she slithered towards the bed and sat down. She was trying to think of a way to fix this problem, but she just couldn't think of any way. She didn't think they will be able to find the rest of the intruders even if they are out there. Andromeda bit her lip as her mind raced with many scenarios where she couldn't find any other intruder and they end up being attacked by the intruders when the demon lord isn't here!

The disappointed face of the demon lord came into her mind and she felt her heart drop into her stomach from the anxiety! She didn't want that face to look at her! She didn't want the demon lord to be disappointed in her! She wanted to prove herself to him!

In that moment of desperation, Andromeda said something stupid.

"Maybe we should report this to the demon lord and have him return?"

Rizi turned back to Andromeda with wide, disbelieving eyes! What the hell was this fool saying!? You want to bring back the demon lord for something like this!?

"What is wrong with you? Have you gone mad from seeing only one intruder!? Why would you resummon the demon lord for something like this!?"

Andromeda tightened her hands into fists and bowed her head!

"I don't know if I can solve it! I don't know if I can even find them! What if this is bigger than we can handle!? What if we just end up fucking it up! I don't want to disappoint the demon lord!"

Rizi felt like screaming at Andromeda! This fool was just going to get them in trouble with her cowardly behavior! But she knew that screaming would not solve anything! They didn't want the other maids to hear Andromeda when she is like this!? This is the reason why some of the other servants don't respect Andromeda! They all know that she is always terrified like this when it comes to the demon lord

"Then just go somewhere and die."

Andromeda looked up in shock as Rizi said this. Rizi was looking down at Andromeda with dead, cold eyes that shocked her.

"You think you are some tragic heroine that should be saved by your knight in shining armor? Have you forgotten what we are, Andromeda? Have you forgotten who you are? You want to give up because there is a small 'chance' that you will fail. If you keep a mentality like that, then you will always give up, and you will always fail. I don't have as much power as you, but do you see me whining like a bitch?"

Rizi turned around and grabbed the map that was on the table before folding it up and tossing it at Andromeda! It smacked Andromeda on the face and landed on the floor.

"If you know what's good for your future, you'll start thinking about ways to make the demon lord praise you rather than being afraid of his anger that does not even exist yet. You're the only one of us that has done nothing but disappoint him, and if you keep this up, well, I won't be seeing you for much longer. The demon lord does not forgive a second time."

And with that, Rizi left the room to go and complete what she had been doing. She only started to help Andromeda because she thought that Andromeda was worth helping, but this scared woman who wouldn't even do anything wasn't worth it and Rizi would rather work on her inventions so the demon lord will be happy with her when he returns!

Slam!

Andromeda flinched at the sound of the door slamming shut. She looked down at the map and she slowly picked it up once Rizi left. Andromeda opened the map slowly and she looked over the wide area that they had to cover. There were so many places that they could be hiding and she didn't even know where to start. Should she just report this to the demon lord -

No. Andromeda shook her head and squeezed the map in her hands. She shouldn't report this! Everything that Rizi said was true and she knew it! She is the only one that has been disappointing the demon lord from the very start! Even Pyra was no longer a disappointment and she has proved herself by destroying a much stronger opponent! This was bad for her!

If she continues like this, she will be tossed away like garbage! Andromeda looked down at the map again and a fire appeared in her eyes and she began to scan through it. She knew that it would be difficult and she might fail, but Rizi is right. If I keep being afraid of failure, then I'll keep failing. Andromeda resolved that she wasn't going to report this to the demon lord. She is going to solve this herself!

Andromeda opened a communication circle and called Rizi and Rizi's lackluster voice came from the other side.

[What is it?]

Rizi scratched the back of her head and scrunched her face as she thought about it. Did she shave anything that could work like that?

Andromeda ignored the tone that Rizi used and she just told her what she wanted.

"Do you have any inventions that can fly? Something small?"

On the other end of the call, Rizi was surprised to hear the new life in Andromeda's tone. It felt like she was talking to a completely different person from a few minutes ago! Maybe what I said really got through to her? Rizi didn't have much hope that Andromeda would change that quickly, but it will be nice if she became more active than before.

Rizi scratched the back of her head and scrunched her face as she thought about it. Did she shave anything that could work like that?

Rizi was already in her work outfit - a black tank top and Jeans with straps holding it up - and she put her hand in her pocket while walking quickly towards the list of designs that the demon lord made for her a long time ago. They were all left to one side because she didn't have any way to fully implement them yet!

They were all regular inventions like the power generating plant, a hydro-powered damn, a nuclear bomb, and some metal carriage that the demon lord called a car. That one really blew Rizi's mind! But the one that caught her eyes was the small metal structure with four wings that the demon lord called a drone. It was supposed to be very good for reconnaissance around the kingdom, but it was hard figuring out how the video property was supposed to work.

But now that she was talking to Andromeda, a new idea came into her mind.
