I Became the Demon King of Lust

But I didn\'t dare let my guard down for a single second as I said, "Don\'t relax yet. We don\'t know what will happen."

When they heard this, everyone suddenly focused their minds again.

They had been about to relax when they heard this, but since it was me telling them this, they immediately became focused again.

And it turned out to be the right choice.

The flames burned strong for a minute, but then there seemed to be something that came out of the flames.

When we saw this, everyone couldn\'t help being shocked by it.

It was…a mummy that was surrounded by dark energy.

Even though it had been engulfed in the flames, it had been able to use the dark energy as a barrier to repel all of these flames so that it wasn\'t burnt at all.

"Is it a monster?" I heard that from the group before saying with a bitter smile, "It is a monster."

They looked at me with surprised looks before suddenly revealing faint smiles.

They never thought that I would make a joke like this, but it did help relieve the tension at this moment.

I narrowed my eyes to look at the mummy leader before saying, "Everyone get back. I\'ll fight it now."

They were all taken aback when they heard this.

Long Shui Ling said, "But it\'s dangerous to go alone. We should…"

I looked at her and said, "It\'s fine, just trust me."

She opened and closed her mouth before giving a nod as if she believed in me.

I looked at the others as well and they all slowly nodded in agreement.

Though they had no idea what I was planning, they did trust me after everything that we\'ve been through.

I gave a nod to them before stepping forward towards the mummy leader who was making its way out of the flames.

The mummy leader\'s eyes still had a slight daze to them, but it looked right up at me before saying, "So you\'re finally going to fight me."

I gave a nod before pointing my sword at it.

The mummy leader didn\'t attack right away and instead looked right at me to ask, "Why did you do all of this? Even if you were a human, I would have worked with you because you too have the lord\'s blessing."

The way that the mummy leader said this, it was almost as if it was a lover that had been abandoned which made me reveal a strange look.

But in the end, I said, "You are a monster and I am a human, this is just how it is."

"I am a monster?" The mummy leader gave a bitter laugh after saying this before looking at me with a sharp gaze, "From how I see it, you are the monster for all you\'ve done."

I didn\'t say anything in response to this.

From a certain point of view, everything that the mummy leader said was considered valid.

After all, I had befriended the mummies and gained their trust, only to use it to betray them in the end.

That was something that a monster would do.

But this was what humans were like with those that they considered monsters, so I had already accepted that this was how it was.

Even if the mummy leader said this now, I would still act with the same commitment as before.

Seeing that I didn\'t say anything and just looked back at it with the same calm look on my face, the mummy revealed a disgusted look before saying, "I will make you pay for all that you\'ve done to my comrades."

I gave a simple nod in response before raising my sword, as if I was waiting for the mummy leader.

The mummy leader took this bait and charged forward with both of its hands raised.

As it came at me, the dark energy gathered in its hands as balls of dark energy.

I didn\'t panic seeing the mummy leader coming at me like this. Your journey continues at m v|l-e\'-NovelBin.net

Right before it reached me, it suddenly disappeared.

When it reappeared, it was already above me with its hands coming down at me, as if it was going to throw the balls of dark energy at me.

But before it could make contact, I suddenly said, "Dizzy."

The mummy leader trembled a bit before its head suddenly fell forward.

I took advantage of this to move slightly so that it would move right past me and then I slashed at the mummy leader.

The mummy leader\'s eyes were narrowed and it looked like it was having trouble focusing, but it still used the layer of dark energy around it to block this.

However, the moment that my sword made contact with that layer of dark energy, there was a bit of it that had been shaved off. That bit of the dark energy that was shaved off went into my sword before disappearing without a trace.

When I saw this, I revealed a look as if I had expected this.

The mummy leader also recovered from the dizziness that it felt and jumped back away from me.

It went several meters away before stabilizing itself.

Once it stabilized itself, it looked at me with a cautious look as if it was worried about something. It just stood there without moving, as if it was trying to figure something out.

I also didn\'t do anything as I waited for the mummy leader to act.

After a moment of silence, the mummy leader looked at me with a strange look and asked, "What did you do?"

I didn\'t say anything in response as I just waited for its next move.

But even then, the mummy leader didn\'t do a thing.

It was almost as if it was hesitating to act.
