Monster Guild: The Dark Lord’s (No-Good) Comeback! Vol. 9

LEAD BY EXAMPLE After being crowned ruler once again, the Dark Lord of Agniin continues his quest to unite all monsters under one banner. Upon arriving in the Land of Dragons, he finds their kingdom locked in a feud with the vampires. The vampire queen proves willing to set differences aside, so the Dark Lord returns to the Dragon King with the hopes of forging an alliance. Thinking the Dark Lord weak, Nine Dust refuses his attempts at peace talks and instead chooses violence. But his problems have only just begun once his citizens witness his demoralizing defeat. Can the Dark Lord salvage this alliance and display true leadership, or is the Land of Dragons doomed to plunge into chaos?
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.
