I Became the Demon King of Lust

When we came closer, I could hear quite a few voices from in front of us.

There were still the voices of the two that we followed, but there were many other voices as well.

It seemed that there were quite a few people gathered…

If this ended up in a fight, this might actually be bad for me with how many people were here.

There were just too many people for me to properly use my powers…

For now, I decided to stay hidden and watch from afar.

That was made even easier with Long Shui Ling's illusion ability that made us seem like part of the wall.

I couldn't help feeling more and more happy about the decision to team up with her.

Not only did she help draw in monsters to make up for the fact that I couldn't find them, she also had that very useful illusion ability. Even if it took her a while to attack with it, there were still plenty of other uses for it like what she was using it for now.

After reaching the gathering area, we found that there were at least twenty people that were here.

With the two that arrived, it was exactly twenty three.

They all seemed to be gathered in front of a wall that had a mural on it.

Standing in front of the mural was a group of three.

I didn't think I would recognize any of them, but it turned out that two of them happened to be the ones that I had met in my first trial.

It was the young man with the pompadour and the magical girl.

The other person was a young man with a shield in hand, though this shield seemed a bit too big for him.

Since they were standing in front of the mural, standing in front of everyone like this, are they the ones that had been chasing after my score the entire time?

Yes, they should be the ones since I could see the exhaustion that was on the faces of the young man with the shield and the young man with the pompadour. It was only the magical girl who didn't seem that tired.

I couldn't help wondering why she didn't look exhausted, but I didn't get that much time to think.

When the three of them saw the last two enter, the young man with the shield suddenly said, "I'm sure that you have all heard that we have discovered the way to the dungeon boss."

As soon as he spoke, everyone suddenly stopped talking and turned to look at this young man.

The young man with the shield didn't mind this and continued by saying, "The mural depicts how we will be able to open the door to the final boss."

Once again, as soon as he said this, everyone turned to look at the mural.

However, they all revealed confused looks as they stared at this mural.

After all, this mural was in a language that they couldn't understand at all.

There were a few drawings that were also on the mural, but it was hard to understand what it was trying to convey with just these drawings.

Unless one was able to understand the writing, they wouldn't be able to understand what this mural said.

The young man with the shield allowed them to look at it for a bit before turning to the magical girl and giving her a nod. When she received this nod, she moved over to the mural.

The magical girl pointed to a part of the mural and said, "It says here that to open up the path to the dungeon boss, we have to defeat four different area bosses in four different locations. The mural also gives the way to these area bosses."

All of them looked closely at the mural, but they couldn't make out a single thing in the end since they just couldn't read it.

So one of them couldn't help asking, "How do we know that this is what it actually says and you're not lying to us?"

The magical girl just gave a shrug before saying, "I don't care whether you believe me or not. If you don't want to believe me, then find your own people to read the mural and wait for the exam to end."

As soon as they heard this, they all revealed ugly expressions.

They knew that it was already too late for that, so the only thing that they could do was trust the words of these three…but it wasn't as if they would just blindly follow them.

They had a reason why they would share this information.

Seeing that everyone had thoughtful looks on their faces, the young man with the shield stepped up again to say, "I'm sure that all of you are wondering why we've gathered you all here."

As he said this, they all stopped their random thoughts and paid attention to him.

The young man just said with a smile, "Since we've gathered you here, naturally we have our reasons…" After stalling for a bit, he finally said, "We want your help in opening the path to the dungeon boss."

At this, they all narrowed their eyes to look at the young man as if they were trying to figure out if he was being serious or not.

They were all competitors and now that they knew this, it would only make sense that they would try to take the dungeon boss.

The young man didn't seem bothered at all by the seemingly hostile looks that appeared in the eyes of these people and he continued by saying, "We want your help in taking down the four area bosses. As long as you help us, we'll concede those area bosses to you."

Area bosses, each one was worth ten points, so there was definitely some value in working with them.

But compared to the dungeon boss that was worth one hundred points…it was chump change.

So there was no reason for them to give up that easily.

The young man could guess what they were thinking, so with a sigh, he took the shield off his back.

Holding it in one hand, he said with a frown, "Do you really think that you can take us on?"
