Monster Guild: The Dark Lord’s (No-Good) Comeback! Vol. 6

THE DARK LORD RISES As the Luminaries’ Hero struggles to grasp the world’s mysteries, he faces a confrontation with the original hero. He must come to terms with facts that challenge the way he has viewed the world. Elsewhere, the monsters’ fortress is assaulted by new warriors seeking out the “new” Dark Lord. Thanks to the Dark Lord’s protection, however, these new competitors become much needed allies. As his reputation continues to grow, the Dark Lord begins to realize that it is his bonds and relationships that empower him to rise again.
Series Overview: It’s hard to defeat a mighty hero when he keeps coming back to life–in fact, it’s impossible. The Dark Lord, stuck in a loop of battling a good guy who won’t stay dead, finally loses the fight and meets his own end…or so it would seem.
The Dark Lord saved himself by putting his soul into an empty vessel, and now he’s about to stage his own comeback. He may be weak now, but along with his newly formed fellowship of misfits–a slime, an orc, an ifrit, and a dark elf–he’s convinced he can rebuild his evil empire, one bumbling step at a time.
