The first step

013-The first step

12 days had passed since Jake started to reorganize his army. During these last 12 days, Jake in addition to training his troops discovered a few things about being a demon lord. The first was that the memories of the former owner of this body were now available to Jake, allowing him to discover and know countless things he didn't know before. Such as his demon lord name- Urromath, what troops a demon lords could create and how to create them.

Jake knew the basics like demon wolves and demon bears, since humanity in Jake's past life had managed to subdue some demon lords. Also, through his coercion he discovered that some demonic creatures were created but nothing too complex, so this new information was very important for Jake who didn't know how to create the most complex ones.

There were even troops Jake didn't know about, such as demonic dragons but creating one required a large number of ingredients, which were quite difficult to find so it made sense that in Jake's previous life he wouldn't have seen any or heard reports of one.

The second thing Jake found out could be said to be the most important, all the demon lords appeared at the same time in the world along with a succubus to assist them. Jake's assistant succubus was Lily. Whenever a demon lord died, another one would not appear, thus reducing the number of demon lords permanently. This was because the demon lords were not beings of this world, but invading beings, either they conquered the world or they were exterminated.

The third thing Jake discovered was that the demon lord Urromath was less than a year old and if all the demon lords emerged at the same time that meant Jake went back to the beginning of the war against the demon lords before the demon land or the Humanity Army was established which was excellent information for Jake as it meant he could grow up without worrying about the greater risk to the demon lords' lives or having to take a who-knows-where trip to seek protection. The only problem with this news was that he couldn't get revenge on Daisy.

All of Jake's imps already had spears and were training with them with simple moves so they could be a cohesive unit. Jake wanted the imps to focus on just a few attacks so they wouldn't get disorganized in battle, wouldn't get in the way, and could keep the unit together. The attacks were horizontal slash, vertical slash, diagonal slash and stab. Jake was also teaching the imps the advantage of fighting with a spear, along with footwork to step back while fighting from a distance so they could better use the spear.

Jake wasn't passive in training either, he took every spare moment he had to train with Lily. Thanks to that, his spear mastery reached the beginner class and his sword mastery reached the beginner class. Although before becoming a demon, Jake reached the master class in the art of the sword. Jake lost all his skills when he became a demon, so it was quite good in 12 days to be able to do the basics in two weapons and also exercise something more than the basics in one of them.

Weapon classes range from the weakest to the strongest apprentice » beginner » regular » advanced » specialist » master » supreme », first grade supreme and so on.
