I Became the Demon King of Lust

Ever since I had used Sasha to level up and regain power as the demon king of lust, Lilith\'s powers had also been slowly recovering.

She had regained the ability to talk to me through my mind.

"You mean?..." I thought in my mind.

There was a chuckle that rang out before she said, "The blonde one of course."

I couldn\'t help being surprised when I heard this since I never expected her to say this.

"Really?" I couldn\'t help asking back.

There was another chuckle as she said, "You\'re quite dense aren\'t you?"

I revealed a bitter look when I heard this before slowly turning back to look at Claire.

It was also at this moment that Claire turned to look at me.

The two of us met gazes and after an awkward moment, she turned her gaze away.

As she did, there was a faint blush that appeared on her face.

"Could it really be true? But why would she suddenly feel this way?" I couldn\'t help thinking to myself.

"You really are dense." That was all Lilith had to say and she wouldn\'t say anymore when I questioned her on it.

…

An hour later, we arrived at the dungeon for today.

This dungeon was a D Rank dungeon called the Deep Hole.

Since Long Shui Ling and I were considered C Rank Irregulars, we could have gone to a C Rank dungeon if we wanted.

However, since this was Long Shui Ling\'s first time working with our group, it was better that we entered a weaker dungeon. That would allow us to learn about each other and work on the dynamic of our party without any danger.

As soon as we entered the dungeon, the mood of the party completely changed.

The others had been chatting up to the moment that they came into the dungeon, but the moment that they came in, they immediately became serious.

This was another dark type dungeon, so we had our lights prepared.

These lights were magic lights that were far beyond what I had used before.

These were floating orbs of light that would follow us around and give us light when we needed it.

But at the same time, we could turn them off with a single thought.

If I had had this light in the past…things would have been much easier.

Still, it definitely made things much easier for this dungeon.

After leaving the safe zone, it didn\'t take us long to find a monster.

The monsters that were in this dungeon were bat monsters that could release sonic screeches.

So they needed to be taken care of before they released these powerful sound based attacks that were hard to guard against.

As if she was trying to take initiative and show off, Claire moved forward as if she was about to take care of these bats.

But before she could, I raised my hand to stop her before saying, "Let Shui Ling take care of it."

When she heard this, she narrowed her eyes to look at me.

At the same time, Long Shui Ling revealed a nervous look.

But I looked at her and she understood what I meant by this gaze.

This was a chance that I was giving her to show off what she could do to the party.

After a pause, Long Shui Ling gave a nod and said, "Let me take care of this."

The other three just stood aside and made way for her, but Claire looked like she clearly doubted Long Shui Ling\'s ability as she stood there without moving.

In the end, she still moved aside for Long Shui Ling.

Long Shui Ling took a deep breath and moved forward so that she was only a few meters away from the bats hanging from the ceiling.

She raised her hand and there was a mist that suddenly appeared around her that started to hide her.

Then she disappeared from sight as the mist covered up everything.

When she reappeared, the three bats that had been hanging on the ceiling were already on the ground and they had been cut in half. It didn\'t take long for these bats to suddenly disappear and drop their loot.

From the time that the mist appeared to the bats suddenly dying, only a few seconds had passed.

Even if the others had taken care of these bats, it would have taken them at least a minute to be able to take them down.

So of course they couldn\'t help being shocked by how fast Long Shui Ling killed these bats.

After a moment of silence, three of them came forward to praise her while one of them just stood there with a grumpy look on her face.

The one that was grumpy was naturally Claire.

But at the very least, she no longer acted like she was looking down on Long Shui Ling.

Even if she was a fool, she had to acknowledge the power that Long Shui Ling had demonstrated.

Even if it was her, she might not be able to resist this kind of attack…

With just this one move, Long Shui Ling was able to win the respect of these kids.

I gave a nod when I saw how they looked at her, knowing that it would be easier for us from now on.

The only thing that was left was to work on our coordination and the only way to do that was to fight more monsters.

After Long Shui Ling\'s porter picked up the drops, I cut them off by saying, "Alright, let\'s keep going."

The moment that I said this, all of them immediately calmed down and returned to their position.

That was just how well trained they had become.

That was the fruit of my hard work with these kids.

Long Shui Ling also came back, but she didn\'t give up her position which was right beside me.

Like this, we headed deeper into the dungeon.
