The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

"Tell my father that I will not go back. As for you, let's see which one of you dares to stop me!"

Under the cover of night, the girl made this declaration for her freedom, gripping her light sword tightly, her magic flowing, ready to strike.

"Your Highness, please calm down. We are not here to take you back."

A middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothes among the soldiers quickly stepped forward, maintaining a friendly smile on his face.

Philippa looked closely and recognized the person, but she had no intention of stopping.

"Second Imperial Uncle, Father has sent you to capture me."

Leonard Ravenhill is a member of the Olmec royal family, the younger brother of King Reginald, and the second uncle of Philippa.

It is true that this place is very close to the Second Imperial Uncle's fiefdom, but it's a bit much to just run into someone else's territory to arrest someone...

That old man must have issued an edict!

Philippa didn't believe Leonard's words at all, thinking that he wanted to use sweet words to lower her guard, and then take advantage of her lapse in attention to easily capture her and lock her up in the castle to live a dark and hopeless life.

We won't let you succeed!

Thinking this, Philippa chanted an incantation, her light magic poised to be unleashed.

Seeing Philippa's menacing expression, Leonard quickly explained, "I'm not lying to you. My brother knows you've become a hero and won't let you stay in the castle any longer."

He sent me here to take you back to the church to select companions to form a hero's team, ensuring your safety while increasing our strength to defeat the Demon King.

Philippa gave her a "Do you think I believe you?" look and scoffed, "Do you think I'm that easy to fool?"

Leonard: Does nobody believe the truth these days? The world is going to the dogs! The world is going to the dogs!

"It's true. Since ancient times, heroes have been an important fighting force against the Demon King."

The Demon King and the demon race have never shown themselves, but the appearance of the hero indicates that the Demon King has been secretly accumulating power that is enough to destroy humanity; otherwise, you wouldn't have become the hero.

This matter concerns the entire Olmec Kingdom and even all of humanity; it is no child's play. My brother would not joke about the peril of humanity.

Seeing Leonard's serious expression, Philippa pondered for a moment.

It seems like it might be true?

Philippa hesitated for a moment, then finally put down her sword and walked toward the soldiers.

“Alright, I’ll believe you this once. But if you’re lying to me…” Philippa tilted her head, a chillingly dark look appearing on her cute face.

"I'll pluck all the hair off that old bastard!"

Leonard: "Your Highness, you're still as 'filial' as ever... haha..."

—————————————————————

After wiping out the strongholds of the Lust and Pleasure faction, Gray followed the waiters back to the base to rest for the night.

But Gray didn't plan to rest; he wanted to finish reading the diary as soon as possible.

Patting the dog's head in his arms, Gray took out his diary from his storage bag.

“ZZZ…”

Zeta's snoring is a bit noisy.

After the dog came back, it insisted on sleeping in the same room as Gray, and considering that pets have the right to sleep in the same room as their owners, Gray went along with it.

The first part of the diary is an adventure log of a hero, which reads like a novel and is not boring at all. Gray also learned some information from it.

So even heroes have their own legacy...

The Demon King's legacy was created by the tenth Demon King, who was known as the "Sage." So what about the Hero's legacy? Was it also created by a certain generation of Hero?

At least it wasn't written in the diary; maybe he simply didn't write it down.

Will the Hero's Legacy tell the hero who created this legacy?

Continue reading the diary until the day the Demon King is successfully defeated.

A turning point is coming.

This diary entry was written a few years after the defeat of the Demon King.

"The year of Holy Light 985."

He had successfully defeated the Demon King, becoming a hero to all of humanity, and thought his life was about to reach its peak. But why did this happen?!

Only a few years have passed, and those mediocre people have already forgotten the heroes who saved them!

On the day the Demon King vanished, the Hero's Legacy and the Hero's Blessing on me disappeared instantly.

Fortunately, the magic power level he gained from killing monsters as a hero was preserved, so he didn't come away completely empty-handed.

The attitudes of the nobles and those bastards from the Holy Light Church have changed drastically. When they needed me, they called me "Hero" all the time, but once they had squeezed all my value out of me, they treated me like dirt and bullied me in every way.

That so-called saintess is nothing but a whore.

When a person is still a hero, they flirt with others and bewitch them. But when they're no longer a hero, they put on a cold and aloof attitude and refuse to talk to anyone.

I can't believe I was fooled by that bitch back then.

That bastard's attitude wasn't so surprising. The nobles and the church were all filthy scoundrels, the only difference between them and the scum of the demon cult was that they were very good at putting on a show.

I thought that with the skills I gained from becoming a hero, I could master the adventurer's profession. But I never expected that without the hero's protection, my strength would plummet from the world's strongest to the peak of the seventh tier.

This level of skill is already beyond the reach of 99.9% of people, but it's not to the point where no one dares to mess with them.

The nobles treated me the same as before, looking down on me, bullying me at will, and taking away what I wanted without a second thought.

Ha, a woman fawns over him in every way, only to end up with a little money. The moment a nobleman takes a liking to her, she immediately runs off to that fat pig's arms.

I can't stand it. Just seeing his flabby body makes me nauseous. Heaven knows how that woman can resist the urge to flirt with that fat pig.

Adventurers often form teams to complete guild quests. I was such a fool to expect to meet a beautiful girl or a trustworthy brother.

It's an adventurer's traditional skill to betray a companion who's willing to entrust their back to them.

For a little money or credit, he was willing to betray his own companions, attempting to monopolize the achievements and even causing their deaths.

Luckily, I survived. When I went to take revenge on them, their expressions of utter disbelief were quite amusing.

I think I understand those people in the Demon Order a little better now; this kind of brutal killing feels really good.

And then there are those ignorant masses.

When he talks about being the former hero who defeated the Demon King and saved them, he just yawns and acts nonchalant, showing no respect for himself whatsoever.

If it weren't for me, you would have been conquered by the tribe and wiped out by the Demon King long ago!

Reading these diaries, which contained content completely opposite to the original, Grey felt an overwhelming wave of negative emotions emanating from the words on the pages.

This guy is really unlucky; it's not just bad luck that he met the wrong people.

His description matched Gray's impression of the world, and it reinforced his belief in one point.

This world is indeed mostly made up of dregs!
