How To Be A Demon lord: The Former Hero's Journey As A Demon Lord!
Chapter 79 The Secret Study

Alucard opened a portal to the king's dining room. The portal could only take Floid and Alucard to the dining room because that is the only place Alucard has been. Floid started to move towards the inner part of the room and he entered the bedroom that was attached to the dining room. There was a locked door in the bedroom and Fkoid was able to easily break the lock with a squeeze!

Crack!

Floid and Alucard entered inside the king's study and Floid immediately knew that this place has been abandoned for a long time! There was a thick layer of dust all around the room and even the lights were flickering like they were about to go out. Floid moved to the table at the center of the room and he opened the book on the table. It was a journal that the former king of Aquinas was writing. The new king hasn't entered this room in ages and everything is exactly how the former king left it.

Floid looked around as he wondered where the secret passage would be. There was a secret passage inside the game that granted him access to the secret study and Floid remembered that the secret passageway was behind a shelf before. Floid traced his hand over a few books on the shelf, he ignored the dirt as much as possible and tried to find the book that was different from the others.

Floid hummed as he felt some magic inside of a certain book. He pushed the book and the book sunk into the shelf

Groan!

The wall behind the shelf groaned as it shifted open. There was a dark passage down there and Alucard immediately lit a small fire ok his palm as they entered. Floid went down the stairs and he grinned as he saw the secret lock here just like the one he saw in the game. The lock required him to fix a magic circle that was only partially drawn. If Floid manages to fix it, then the door would open.

At least that was what they expected him to do.

Floid had more than eight hundred MP. And he knew that any magic device would easily break under the strain of his power! Floid put his hand on the magic circle and overloaded it with power! There was a deep hiss and a loud clank! as the magic circle broke! Once the magic circle broke, Floid's system gave him a new prompt!

[Hidden Quest Discovered]

[Enter the king's secret study and figure out the king's secret.]

[Reward: The Tales Of The Dragon Wars]

[The Dragon Wars was a war fought between the dragons of Rivalle and the demon king a thousand years ago. The true knowledge of this battle is known only to a select few who were alive at that time. If this mission is passed, then all knowledge of this war will become yours]

Hmm. The dragon wars? Floid had never heard of a dragon war before. Was it another thing that he didn't know about this world? Well, it was good that the system was trying to fill in his knowledge so he wouldn't be caught unawares by the things happening around him. Floid hated it when he didn't have all the variables in the palm of his hand. Floid opened the door and he told Alucard to wait outside as he went into the room.

The room was dark and there was only a small Mana crystal providing light at the side of the wall. Floid took the crystal and he poured mana into the crystal so that it would become brighter. Once it became bright enough to cover the entire room in white light, Floid dropped it back and looked around. There was nothing in the room other than a single table and chair in the middle. There were ten books stacked on the table and a single parchment and feathered pen was lying beside it. Floid walked to the table and picked up the parchment.

'My Son, I'm writing this letter in hopes that you will one day take up the mantle of a proper king and come here to my study. Here, I have left my knowledge and everything that I have learned about this world. I know you have greatness inside of you and I pray that this knowledge will grant you the wisdom you need to bring Aquinas to a new dawn of greatness'

Floid scoffed as he dropped the letter. What a waste of effort. If only the former king knew how useless his son was then he wouldn't have bothered to leave this sort of letter here. The son that you wrote that letter for turned out to be a waste of a king who foolishly led his kingdom to its damnation. You must be so proud.

The books on the table were old but there weren't unreadable. Floid sat down and he started to read through the first book. He immediately realized that this was some sort of journal. The former king had been writing about his life! What sort of nonsense is this!? If I wanted to learn about your life then I would have looked at it on the wiki! Floid took a deep breath as his frustration grew. He has to read through all the books here so that he can get the king's secret so he just decided to forge forward. His army didn't need him for now so he had time.

[My younger days were filled with stories of dragons...]

.....

,m The scene all over the kingdom of Aquinas could only be described with one word: Chaos.

All over the kingdom, the citizens were running madly as they tried to avoid the demon army! The knights of the kingdom didn't have much time to prepare for this attack so they were fighting a losing battle as they struggled to stop the advance of the demons! The kingdom of Aquinas was very large, but more than ten thousand demons were attacking the kingdom and they have all been trained very well by the maids!

The demons were using an advancing formation that made them very brutal! The succubi and incubus that were good with magic would attack from behind while the goblins and imps would charge into the army and attack from close range! The giants had two jobs, half of them stayed back and threw large rocks at the humans to kill them while the other half used large clubs to bash the humans into paste! It was a work of art!

The maids truly did a brilliant job teaching the demons how to fight and the demons were putting their training to very good use!

The knights were all shocked as they were fighting the demons! The demons that they were used to fighting never used any sort of tactics before! The demons would usually just attack with reckless abandon and they never had any sort of tactic! That is one of the reasons why humans used to be so successful against demons, Tactics will always win over reckless charges! But now that the demons were also using tactics, things were not looking good for the humans! The humans were completely overwhelmed!
