In the majority of fantasy settings, we get the perspective of humanity. But here we get the look of the demon side for the whole volume as the hero defeated the Demon Lord Thor. As there is a competition to decide who the next Demon Lord is. One of the two heroes, Helck comes to not only join the tournament but also state that he hates humans. Which is not a heroic thing to say. Though it is mentioned that it was Helck’s brother that killed the Demon Lord. So does he hate his brother? But from the conversation, he doesn’t seem to.
The competition mostly hits a comedic vibe, which works. Though when Azurda comes, he suggests taking back Castle Urum from the humans. One thing that is clear is that Azurda & Helck have a connection. As he told Helck about the tournament. The curious part is why did Helck seek to compete in this tournament? For now they need to take care of the winged soldiers.
