I AM THE HERO, AND YOU ARE MY ENEMY
“Demon Lord!”
I finally called upon the name of my enemy. He was sitting on a large black throne, his face resting on his right hand and his eyes looking down on us.
“Hmm? And who might you be?”
“I am the Hero, and I’m here to defeat you and end your reign of terror!”
The Demon Lord, the enemy of humanity. I was summoned from my world to act as the Hero and defeat him. But I am not alone.
“Yeah, we will kill you today!”
“Hehehehe, I can’t wait to fight you.”
I have my friends here as well. All of us were summoned from our world. I was chosen as the Hero, the sword of humanity, and all of my friends decided to help me.
“Ah, I see. So you are the Hero, and all these children behind you are members of the Hero Party, correct? I was informed that you lot would be coming today, so I opened the doors of my castle to welcome you. Though I guess that was unnecessary.”
I see, so that’s why we could enter the castle and confront the Demon Lord so easily. He knew we were coming today. But how did he know? Did someone among us leak the information?
No, that’s irrelevant right now. The very fact that he hasn’t run away shows that he is ready to fight the final battle. Then I should not waver as well.
“Demon Lord, know this. Today, me and my friends will defeat you with everything that we’ve got!”
“Hooooh” He sighed in admiration. “Why, I am flattered. Then please give it your all.”
He smiled in mockery.
“Light Sabre!”
I chanted the name of my strongest trump card.
“Hell flame!”
“Abyss Gate!”
“Heaven’s wrath!”
“Elemental requiem!”
All of my friends did the same. But the Demon Lord simply whistled.
“Amazing. There are 38 people here, including you, and each of their spells has considerable destructive power. You guys are pretty impressive.”
He raised his head and looked at us properly, his eyes full of bemusement.
“The First Lord.” He muttered. “Pretty impressive for a human, that is.”
“Kugh!”
What happened?! He was clutching my throat with his right arm, while all of my friends had already been defeated.
“You couldn’t even see me move, could you? A second was all that I needed to defeat all of you.”
He mocked and threw me at the wall.
“Khaahk!”
I threw up blood as I was slammed into the wall and buried there. I was only barely holding onto my consciousness.
“I don’t understand how you guys can be so confident. I was just playing around when I used ‘The First Lord’, but all of you were so weak that you couldn’t even react to me. You guys are……. truly worthless.”
He turned around and started walking towards his throne. Just then, violet magic areias appeared beneath all of us, but I was too battered up to even lift a finger.
“Whether you live or die would have practically no effect on me. In that case, I’d rather keep my clothes and throne room clean. So, farewell.”
Violet light filled my vision and the next moment, I was back to the royal capital. All of us had been dumped in front of the gate of the city. The guards noticed us and caused a commotion.
I am the Hero, and the Demon Lord is my enemy. Or that’s how it was supposed to be. But to him I was nothing more than a pest.
He was powerful, overwhelmingly powerful. We were defeated in an instant. Would a day ever come when he would consider us enemies? Would a day ever come when we would be able to defeat him?
Would it?
