How To Be A Demon lord: The Former Hero's Journey As A Demon Lord!-Chapter 191 How Not To Wake Up In A Hospital.
Elias gasped as he sat up quickly from his hospital bed. He groaned immediately and put his hand to his head when a nasty headache immediately hit him! Fuck! It feels like there was a matching band playing inside his head! What the hell happened to me?
Elias opened his eyes slowly and took a look around the room he was in. It was a dark room with white beds lined against the wall. On the door opposite Elias, there was a symbol of a cross and Elias immediately realized that he was in the church outside Aradite. He managed to make it back using the Kings Magic Resonance. Elias let out a small sigh as he used his hands to rub his head and a small chuckle escaped from his lips in amusement.
He really did it, didn't he?
Elias could remember everything now that his memory was cleared up and he remembered how he managed to convince Givalich to join his side and now the dragon was here in the church. For some reason, Elias was just so fucking happy about this! Even though his plan was nowhere near complete, he was far closer than he had ever been before! This time, nothing would stop him!
Slam!
"Where the fuck is he!?"
The loud sound of the door slamming into the wall echoed through the lab and it made Elias jump a little because of the throbbing pain that immediately flared to life inside his head as his headache came back. He glared towards the door and the person that slammed it and he was confused when he saw Dray coming into the room with a look of anger on his face. Hold on, how are you still alive?
The shock from seeing Dray alive was intense for Elias! Elias didn't think that he would ever see this boy alive again! Dray was already at death's door when Elias left to go and find Givalich and Elias hoped that Dray would have finally crossed that door by the time he came back! So why the hell was he still alive!?
Dray could easily see the shock on Elias' face and this only fueled the anger inside of him even more! Dray came here to confront Elias once he heard that Elias was back from his mission! Dray ignored Argo that was shyly following behind him as he marched toward Elias. Argo was shyly asking him to stop and calm down, but Dray could also hear her quietly cursing at him under her breath. Dray would never understand the people on this church and he decided that the best thing he can do for himself is to ignore them all.
Argo's personalities were both trying their best to stop Dray from exerting himself so much! Her quiet and docile side was shyly trying to stop Dray, but her other - more aggressive - personality was cursing at Dray and telling him not to ruin all the hard work that it took to keep him alive! The king would be angry if Dray suddenly fell over and died because he overexerted himself like this! The only thing that both of Argo's personalities always agreed on in her mind is that none of them wanted to disappoint the king so they both wanted to stop Dray!
Dray got to Elias and grabbed him by the shirt before slamming a flaming fist into Elias' cheek.
Boom!
The punch was strong enough to throw Elias off the bed and he stumbled to the ground! His ear started to ring again and he could feel the headache building inside his head. Elias already had a concussion before the punch, so the punch only made things worse.
Argo stopped in shock and stared at Dray and Elias. What the actual fuck was Dray doing!? Does he even know who Elias is!? Argo didn't even have to worry about Dray overexerting himself anymore because, at this rate, it is Elias that will kill Dray.
"You left me to die!! That was your plan all along, wasn't it!? You never intended to even help me get revenge! You didn't give a damn about me! You were ready to sacrifice me without any remorse!"
Dray shouted at Elias in anger as he looked down at Elias' form. Elias was slowly getting to his feet and holding his throbbing head in pain. His eyes were tightly shut because the ringing inside Elias' head wouldn't go away.
"Well!? Fucking say something!!"
[Cyclone] has been activated!
Phwoom!
Elias put his hand out and immediately activated a skill in the direction where he heard Dray's voice coming from. His eyes were still shut, but that didn't stop him from hitting Dray directly in the chest with a concentrated blast of wind!
Boom!
Dray was thrown back by the blast and he slammed into a bed in the infirmity! He immediately held his chest in pain and coughed out some blood as the dragon Mana started to disturb him again.
Argo shrieked in worry as she immediately hurried to Dray and tried to help him to his feet! She checked the seal on his heart and she was glad when she noticed that it wasn't broken or cracked! This idiot would have died if Elias used a little more power!
"Fuck. What the actual hell?" For more chapters, please visit
Elias spoke up softly as he got himself standing straight again. He opened his eyes and he immediately closed them when the light in the infirmary threatened to blind him! He tried to open them again after some time, and this time, he was glad that the light wasn't glaring as much as before.
Elias looked toward's Dray and he saw the boy glaring at him. Dray was trying to get to his feet but he was still holding his chest in pain. Elias walked towards Dray and he used his foot to stomp him into the ground! Dray grunted in pain and grabbed Elias' leg with grit teeth as he tried to activate a skill. But he couldn't use his mana because of how the dragon's mana was interfering with his core so he couldn't make any flames appear.
"Hey, don't ruin him! You'll break the seal!!"
Argo tried to stop Elias from hurting Dray any further but Elias just pushed her away with one hand and looked back at Dray. Dray was still glaring at him and Elias narrowed his eyes in irritation. Elias was going to fucking kill this idiot.
"I don't know how you managed to survive through all that, and I don't care. But it seems that the few days when I wasn't around made you forget your place. Perhaps being close to death's door gave you a boost in self-confidence and made you overestimate your abilities. Really, I couldn't give less of a fuck about the reason for the stupid shit you just did, but let me remind you of your place,"
Ka-cha!!
Bang!!
"What is going on in here!?"
The door to the infirmary opened up with a bang just as Elias was about to cave Dray's chest in and a loud familiar voice shouted out in shock once they saw the state of the infirmary! Elias looked to the side and he saw Ria - his ex-wife - standing there with a shocked expression on her face. She was still in her usual nun outfit and she was holding a bowl in her hands that had some warm water inside it. She came here to try and nurse Elias back to health, but she didn't expect him to be on his feet already and beating up Dray.
"Go away, Ria. I'm busy,"
Elias used a hand to rub his temple softly while talking and he turned to look at Dray. Ria didn't listen to Elias as she immediately handed the bowl to Argo and marched up to him! Does he think this is a fighting ring!? It's a hospital for goodness sake!!
"Stop this instant! What do you think you're doing in a hospital!? The both of you are still injured and that is how you're behaving!?"
"He won't be needing a hospital when I'm done with him, so you don't need to worry. Just leave me to handle my business,"
Elias spoke in that final tone that Ria was already so used to. When they were married, this was the sort of time that Elias would use with her whenever he was not interested in an argument at all. She knew that he already made up his mind about killing Dray. A slightly nervous expression crossed Ria's face and she turned and gave Argo a look of concern. Argo returned the look and she silently whispered to Ria that Ria had to stop them immediately. The king does not want Dray dead yet!
Ria sighed and touched Elias on the shoulder. Elias turned and glared at her.
"What is it?"
"We need him, Elias. The king has plans for the boy and he does not want you to kill him yet. Please, release him,"
Elias gave Ria a look of confusion once he heard that the king had plans for Dray. What the hell was the king planning that could possibly involve Dray? And why the hell was Elias in the dark about it all this whole? There is no way that this is a coincidence. They hid this from him and they are only telling him now because he was close to killing Dray.
Elias wasn't interested in releasing Dray. He could still feel a small sting from the punch that Dray gave him. But Elias then remembered that he owed the king a favor for helping him with his mission to find Givalich. It would be bad to kill someone that my supporter is trying so hard to keep alive. And besides, I have to find out more about what the hell they want Dray for.
Elias took his foot off Dray and kicked the boy away from him.
"Ugh!"
Dray grunted before he glared up at Elias but he was smart enough not to attack again. Elias then turned towards Ria and asked her where Givalich was.free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎
