How To Be A Demon lord: The Former Hero's Journey As A Demon Lord!
Chapter 58 There’s A Pattern!

Rosavellt arrived in Duranel without any issues and she met up with Dracula who was waiting for her. Dracula greeted Rosavellt respectfully before he took her to the place where they found the skeletons. Once Rosavellt saw it, she knew that this was her brother's doing. He was the only one that would leave his familiars behind like they were nothing but trash. But why would he leave his familiars here? He could have found a hundred other ways to kill the humans here if he wanted them dead. He could even kill all of them on his own if he wanted to! It's almost like he is in a hurry to get somewhere and he didn't have time to take the familiars with him! It was either that, or he was leaving a trail for someone to follow.

Rosavellt told Dracula that she would be with him for the next week. She might come and go while searching for clues in different places but he should expect to see her around a lot. Dracula immediately understood that she was doing a mission for the demon lord. Did the demon lord send her here to find the person that left the skeletons? The magic is undead magic and it is very similar to her own, so I wouldn't be surprised if she can easily find the culprit! Dracula really wanted to know, but he decided he would just prepare everything for her so that she would be comfortable for the next week.

The next town that the demon army attacked the next night was a small town called Eris. It had a trench around it that was filled with water. The citizens of the town thought that the trench would be enough to form a defense for them, but instead of protecting them, the water made it very difficult for the humans to run away when the vampires and other demons came to attack them! The trench didn't even stop the demons for a moment and they easily invaded the town!

Rosavellt was just standing in the town hall and looking down at the pile of skeleton familiars that they found here. Just like the previous town, this one also had a lot of missing humans. Rosavellt figured out that the familiars would usually take the humans and eat them when they get bored. Familiars didn't need to eat, but they could just do it for the sake of pleasure. Rosavellt was sure that after the familiars were abandoned, they eventually got bored and started to eat humans.

Her brother is not the sort of person to be sloppy like this! He is usually very conservative and he doesn't waste his familiars for no reason like this! Does that mean that he is doing something so important that he would even sacrifice familiars? Or is he just trying to kill as many humans as he can?

If they are getting bored then that means they have been here alone for a long time. It was almost like the familiars were scouts on a mission.

"Ah! Please! Please don't kill me!!"

"Help! Help me, please!

"I didn't do anything! I didn't do anything! Spare me!!"

"Why do you want to kill me!? Argh!!"

The screams of humans echoed from outside the town hall and Rosavellt hummed as she tried to focus on the skeleton again. Can't they kill those humans quieter! She is trying to think here! There was a woman that suddenly burst into the hall and started running for her life! She saw Rosavellt and her eyes lit up because he thought Rosavellt was a human as well!

"Help! Please help me! Someone is chasing me!"

Squelch!!

​ Only for a sword to dig deep into the woman's back before she could get to Rosavellt. Rosavellt looked up and saw Dracula walking into the hall. He was the one that threw the sword. He apologized for letting a stray getaway. These humans were so slippery sometimes.

Rosavellt clicked her tongue. She would just prefer it if the demons were quieter. They are making too much noise outside and she can't think clearly. Rosavellt turned back to the pile of skeletons and then she finally told Dracula something.

"I'll be moving ahead tomorrow. I need to see if my deduction is correct about the skeletons. I'll arrive in the next town during the day and then you can bring the army at night. Allow them to rest after they are done with this town before you bring them to the next one,"

Dracula nodded to her and watched her leave through a portal. The next town was called Elyon and Dracula knew that it was a fairly large town. Rosavellt will probably kill some of the townspeople if they get in her way, but she should be able to complete her mission without any problems since she is very strong.

Rosavellt didn't exactly plan on killing all of the townspeople, that isn't her mission. The demon army can handle the killing. As long as the townspeople don't get in my way, I won't even need to touch them. Rosavellt scoffed, she knew she just jinxed herself. Did she really expect humans to not get in her way somehow?

Dracula spent the day resting with the army, just like Rosavellt commanded. He allowed them to have fun with the humans and the army also got to eat and drink as much as they wanted. They just had fun until the sun came down and it was time for them to move again. Luckily for Dracula, demons have a much higher constitution for drinking so he didn't have to deal with any drunk demons. They were still able to move about well even with all that alcohol in their system.

As Dracula got near the city of Elyon, he immediately knew that his army won't have to even do a single thing. Blood was already following through the streets. From the gate of the city, Dracula could see bodies littering the streets on both sides. The city guards were all dead and hundreds of civilians were also dead! It seems that Rosavellt was annoyed a lot! They must've tried to deny her access into the town and she just killed them!

Dracula shook his head and started to walk deeper into the town.

Dracula found Rosavellt standing in front of a wall in the town hall. There were a few dead skeleton familiars beside her and her body was covered in a lot of blood. The skeleton familiars were killed by Rosavellt when she came here. But it wasn't the skeletons that interested Dracula. it was the writing on the wall.

It was made up of several symbols and hieroglyphs that roughly translated into a sentence in the demon language. It read.

[It's been a while, sister. How is your baby demon lord?]

Rosavellt tightened her hand around her sword as she read it! It was obvious that she was annoyed by it! She turned around once Dracula entered and she told him to make the demons clean out the human corpses.

Dracula nodded and went to do as he was told. Look on the bright side, there were a lot of corpses, so the demons will still have work to do at least. They won't be idle for some time.

Rosavellt knew that her brother has been looking for something in the western part of Rivalle. He had already gone to three towns that all followed a certain route. The three towns were a far distance from each other and if it was anyone who hasn't memorized the layout of this area, then they wouldn't know that there was a pattern, but Rosavellt knew her brother was following a pattern as he looked for something. Rosavellt had no idea what he was looking for but she knew it could be something problematic if her brother is looking for it.

Rosavellt decided she would follow the route that her brother is taking. If she follows the route quickly, she should be able to guess where next her brother would appear and get there before him. She put her sword back into her spatial space and then she opened a portal in front of her. The next place she appeared in was a town on the same route as the last three. It was called Richter and it was a town filled with adventurers.
