Now's your chance to gain his trust! Go help defeat the monster.

>>366857
Agreed, if there is no treasure to be gained you might as well go get some glory.

you are in the sitting room apparently, what kind of overlord keeps valuables in a sitting room?

What!? There is nothing more valuable than life! Go help them!

>>366851
>He's fast...
He isn't the only one!

Well hero you have a choice: you can sneak around looking for valuables in this dump, until the owner of the place - the Overlord - comes back and catches you. Along with his old, powerful sword. Now if you go help and get on his good side you might be able to hold onto us, maybe get some reward for your trouble, and possibly teleportation to the human lands. He can do that, you know.

>>366856
Lol, for a while I thought there was a tozol hiding behind the curtains.

Okay fine, I'll help him..

Wandering Hero rushes downstairs and tosses her blade

Her blade soars through the air and strikes at the Giga Rust Monster, dealing the fatal blow.

The Overlord and his group look up at her in shock.

Oh.. I did it.. I did it!

I was a hero!

>>366981
Ok, now see if the Overlord has any openings for a hero.
These people are barely evil at all, so you can at least help them against worse evils.

nooooo! rustmonster...can we tame it?

>>366983
No, we do not tame monsters. We kill monsters.

>>366982
The Overlord is still The Overlord. He is evil. I am a Hero now. I must kill evil, no matter how small it may be.

You fool. Look into my eye. I AM THE OVERLORD!

>>366986
You sure he's evil? 'Cause he's allied himself with an order of paladins, and they seem to think he's actually doing a lot of good for the world.
Even the Angels don't consider him a problem.

Kill yourself. Each being carries some evil. There's no such thing as absolute good.

>>366986

Aren't you still injured? You're not going to be able to risk much until you're back at full health again.

Also check the wound for any signs of oxidation; aggressive clotting, bleaching, that kind of thing. Check anything that was damaged by the attack too for the same.

Spoken like a true demon. You have no idea what good or evil is. If you think the overlord is evil, then why don't you think that of us? You see when you approached the castle we woke back up with every memory of the new Overlord. He was reduced to nothing but a blank slate after his defeat and he has done no evil at all. He has befriended clerics and paladins and had a peaceful encounter with an angel. Nix, the warrior standing over there, was cured of the plague by him. You look at her and ask her what hat she thinks of the overlord.

Go on, I dare you hero, to test your misguided ideals against the reality of who you would hurt.

Right, and you are a demon, and demons are evil right? Take a close look at the overlord and his minions, does he look like evil to you?

Also, the new minions of the old boss would likely wipe the floor with you if you tried to hurt him.

Forget it. I've had enough of you. I thought you were a misguided hero, but you're just a despicable being, worthy only of my disgust and pity. Stop wasting our good will, time and power. Release us and follow your abhorrent path alone, unless you want to carry our curse.

The Overlord and Rose toss Wandering Hero outside the castle and fling her blade out as well.

Ow... Well that went better then I'd expected.. They didn't kill me at least..

Don't know what came over me for a second there.

>>367007
No no... It's obvious that my job in this world is to keep your evil to myself! Only someone like me, someone with a pure heart, can hope to wield you without suffering.

>>367047

Will you check your wounds? Geeze.

And THAT is why we said DON'T go after the overlord. You are lucky it was just that. Anyways, you OK there? Looks like you were getting a bit too heated up back there. Not a good thing.

As for us being evil? Always figured ourselves as neutral really. Just don't go gun ho on the whole 'kill evil' thing. It tends to only bring more evil.

You sure? Because so far he has...
-Treated an untreatable disease
-Saved a city of slimes from a group of 'heroes'
-Turned Silva the Wicked to the side of Good(ish)
-Tried to stop the freeing of an evil machine-woman (who paladins released) which was sealed in the castle
-Spared your life despite your intrusion

What have you done to earn the title of hero?

>>367050
he's do more heroic deeds then some so called hero

Also, your name is now Fluffy.
This is a non-negotiable part of our Demonic Sword Contract.
Which is a thing that exists don't think it doesn't.

>>367052
that make my day

>>367052
this

Then so shall it be. For being a bit of a trouble maker back there and not listening to us, you shall hence forth be named... FLUFFY.

Oh God(s). Not another clichè 'Hero' that thinks that anything that has done one remotely evil act must be obliterated ASAP. No offense, but if you think that, and act on it, you're best killing yourself.

You are such a bonehead.

Look there is actually a great evil for you to fight against, and it isn't the Overlord. It's a maniacal tinker, that was sealed away by the Overlord at the hight of his... our, evil and destructive ways. Because she was far too evil and destructive for him to keep around. Stupid heroes came around and let her out, of course.

So that is your quest, and you're going to need far more power than you have now if you hope to stand a chance. And you better go and train yourself on destructive asshole demons and what monsters you can, and leave the more peaceful demons alone. Seriously WHY do you have this demon slaying obsession, demon?

Your arrogance and stupidity is beyond our comprehension! Wield us without suffering? Fool devil! Your body and soul isn't in agony because that isn't our desire! However great may be the ignorance that you carry, never was our intention to cause you any harm! We warned you! We tried to make you see the truth! To guide you to the real good! Pure heart? Your sorry existence only carries killing intent and greed for glory! ENOUGH!! Free us from the torment of seeing your vile deeds and your inevitable and painful fall!

An evil stronger then the Overlord himself?

I see.. Then it is my mission in life to vanquish this evil! You will be my trusty blade and together we will destroy this great evil!
And I shall bear the burden of this cursed blade as I accomplish this! My name will go down in legends!

From now I shall no longer be the Wandering Hero..

From now on my name will be Fluffy

So upset. Fluffy, you are a douche souffle.

You do that.

>>367067

Hey! Idiot! Tend to your wounds! I've been shouting at you to do so for like ten minutes!

Tool! If we can't contain your insanity, we must make sure that you won't cause harm and suffering to the innocent!

Will Fluffy ever become a true hero? Will the God Slayer stop Fluffy from possibly unsealing ANOTHER great evil? Will the Overlord get his sword back? Will we ever know why Megan had a bunch of rust monsters?

Tune in next time for the answers in the next installment of HOW TO BE A OVERLORD Z!

...I think that when the sword gets close to the Overlord, it starts emitting some sort of bad mental influence...

I don't think we should ever reunite the two halves. A pity.

look, we are not evil. we just refuse to accept things as they are now. what we want is a world where it doesn't matter if your an angel, demon, or even a slime. we want a world where all thinking creatures can live in peace without fear. from our point of view a good chunk of heroes are merely bandits who are a bit picky about who they kill and rob.

Man, maybe we should've tried being nicer to her, even though she's clearly an idiot.

why are you so hard on her? a bit misguided but all it would have taken is some careful word-smiting. She is, after all, someone who was born a demon and wants to be a hero. What a lost opportunity.
