About the Helck Manga Volume 2

An epic fantasy of the powerful human hero who hates humans and aims to become the next Demon Lord!

After the Demon Lord is slain at the hands of a lone human warrior, humans rejoice over the end of his reign of terror.

How will Helck change the course of the war between demons and humankind?
