Clochi did not join the Demon King Army because he revered strength, but rather, he followed the orders of the Village of Heroes to become an undercover agent within the army.
The Village of Heroes had the power to save his parents and prevent tragedy, but ultimately, they chose to stand idly by.
Clochi pleaded with the Village of Heroes multiple times to intervene, but each time, his efforts were in vain. He could only follow their orders, execute the Demon King's plan, and bury his hometown by his own hands, severing all of Lux's hopes, allowing Lux to focus solely on the path of the hero.
Through the records of the Nine-Life Cat Demon, Lux gradually understood the pain his companions had experienced.
Lux regretted not recognizing their suffering earlier.
He even considered completely wiping them out when the incident happened to solve everything, without ever thinking of alternative solutions...
This was not the act of a hero.
How is this any different from the Demon King?
