I Became the Demon King of Lust

Once that was finished, there was nothing else for us to do.

This ice dragon that we had slaughtered was the boss of the entire dungeon, so there wasn't much else that would be good for us to kill.

When it came to points, there was no need for us to care any longer since our points were more than enough.

All of us had received points after killing the ice dragon, so we now had triple the points that we had before. We had already been certain that no one would be able to kick us out of the spots that would pass this round, but now we were even more certain of that.

So we decided that there was no need to hunt even more.

Instead, we just made this ice cave our base.

This was the nest of the dungeon boss, so this was not a place that normal monsters could approach. At the same time, it had already been cleared out by the ice statues that were standing nearby, so there wouldn't be any monsters that would attack us.

We really doubted that the monsters would spawn that quickly after the dungeon boss was killed.

So this place was actually a very good place to hole up in.

There was only one exit that could be easily fortified and this place wasn't that easy to reach in the first place because of the cold. We were only fine because we had the Inferno Gem to generate heat for us.

When it wasn't being used for fighting, it really was a powerful heater that created a zone of heat that kept the cold away.

Speaking of the statues…

"What should we do with them?" I asked everyone else.

No one really said anything as they looked at the statues with strange looks.

I could already guess what they were thinking, so I didn't hesitate to kick one of them to the ground.

As soon as that sculpture hit the ground, it shattered to pieces.

Everyone looked at me with a surprised look at first, but then they all revealed smiles as they understood what I was doing.

Then without hesitation, they also turned to a sculpture of their own.

There weren't enough for everyone to take one for themselves, so they shared a few of them.

Then all of them kicked out at the sculptures in front of them, knocking them to the ground.

As soon as they hit the ground, they immediately shattered to pieces, just like the first sculpture that I kicked down. With this, all of the ice sculptures that had been in the room were shattered.

In this way, we took revenge for those unaffiliated Awakeners that had been killed by these ice sculptures. Though it really wasn't revenge since they were already dead from the ice dragon's ice breath.

Still, we at least didn't leave them with a complete corpse, so that was some form of consolation.

The items that we received from the ice dragon weren't that special, so we each took what we wanted.

There was one thing that I wanted, so I was able to get that for myself.

But the most shocking thing was that an hour after we had set up here, there was a door that opened.

We had been surprised by this door, but we found that it was similar to the one that had opened up in the mutated Salamander's nest. When we looked in, we also found that there was a large amount of ice energy coming from it.

If this was left on its own…then it was very likely that the same thing that happened with the Inferno Gem would happen here.

But we had someone that could take care of it.

Bing Xin.

Bing Xin had an ice attributed power that wasn't weaker than Tammy's fire attributed power.

So with our help, she was able to break through and get the blue gem that was on the pedestal.

As soon as we put this away and cleared out the ice energy, we quickly went to the exit to see if the same thing would happen.

But after waiting for an hour, we didn't find anyone.

It seemed that the ice energy hadn't spread far enough to attract the beasts like the Inferno Gem had done, so it seemed that we were safe for now.

Of course, we didn't let our guard down and placed someone outside to guard the area.

We went in shifts so that no one would have to do it for too long since it really was cold outside.

With all of that settled, it was now just about waiting for the end of this first round.

Both Tammy and Bing Xin had things to do since they had obtained the Inferno Gem and the blue gem respectively. I could feel the power around them growing which seemed like a bad thing for us.

Well, not Bing Xin getting stronger being bad for us, but Tammy getting stronger was definitely bad.

She was our competitor in the end and there was no guarantee that the next round would be one where we could cooperate with each other.

So this would hurt us in the future…

Before this first round could end, Tammy suddenly came to me and asked, "Can we talk? Alone?"

The moment that she said this, there were three pairs of eyes that turned in her direction.

It was naturally from Long Shui Ling, Claire, and Bing Xin.

But she just ignored them as she looked at me, waiting for my response.

I had to take a minute to think about it, but in the end, I gave a nod of agreement.

I could feel the looks that came from Long Shui Ling, Claire, and Bing Xin, but I ignored them as I went with Tammy to an isolated corner of the room where we could talk in private.

As soon as we were alone, she suddenly said, "You're something else, aren't you?"
