Round and round this story goes. treading water and just an excuse to have people beat up the only people seemingly trying to stop the new demon lord. Why again was it that literally just a handful of people are dealing with this?
Why did this book start again? Because it feels like it was ages ago and all we have found out is 'demon lord is back, the hero still sucks, and none of the adventurers are ready at all'.
So we just going to Deus Ex Machina some bullshit in the end?
