I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 209: Raid dungeon (1)

The next morning, I found out that the dungeon we were heading to wasn't a normal small dungeon.

Rather, we would be heading to a large raid dungeon.

The dungeons that we had been clearing up to now were the smaller dungeons that a single party could clear on their own.

The raid dungeon that we were heading to was simply called The Pyramid.

It was a large pyramid that had appeared out of nowhere and was a C Rank Raid Dungeon.

Since it was a large pyramid, the inside was a large space that had many monsters inside of it. There were far more monsters in this raid dungeon than there were in normal dungeons.

So a large raid group was required to take down this raid dungeon as opposed to a small dungeon group.

Most Awakeners that went into dungeons wouldn't experience a raid dungeon since it was hard gathering all of these Awakeners.

But for a large guild like Elementia, it was easy for them to gather dungeon parties like this.

As a side note, the Tower of Heaven was a raid dungeon as well.

So it would mean that we would have to go in with a raid group instead of normal small groups.

When I saw the list of dungeon parties that had been gathered this time, I understood why we had been suddenly called to this raid dungeon.

On that list was Kaito and his party, as well as other newer dungeon raiding parties that had joined Elementia not that long ago before us.

These could be considered the newer parties joining Elementia.

For all of us to be gathered for this raid dungeon, it was clear that they were trying to give us experience with raid dungeons. Or to put it more directly, it was clear that they were marking us on our performance in raid dungeons for the future competition.

If we didn't show that we were capable of doing this, it was very likely that we would be excluded from the shortlist for candidates.

So we had to do our best in this raid dungeon expedition.

I was even more certain of this when I saw who the leader of this raid dungeon party was.

It was the A Ranker Tie Gang who I had met before.

For an A Ranker to lead a group into a C Rank Raid Dungeon, he was most likely here to watch over us.

It was even possible that he would be our examiner for this expedition into the raid dungeon.

I was silent as Su Chen drove us to the dungeon entrance.

When we arrived, the first thing that I did was go looking for my group.

I wanted to make sure that they were fine since this would be an important expedition into this raid dungeon.

But before I could find anyone, Long Shui Ling found me.

I didn't know where she appeared from, but all of a sudden, she was behind me before I knew what was happening.

She came right up behind me and grabbed my shirt from behind.

I was surprised by this before asking, "Where did you come from?"

She said with a smile, "I was around, you just didn't notice me."

I couldn't help looking at her with a look of doubt.

Recently, I couldn't help feeling that she had been acting differently. Though she didn't seem different when we interacted, it was almost as if there was a different look in her eyes when she looked at me.

It was almost like a kind of look that one had when they were looking at their possession.

I could almost guess what she was thinking, so I had checked my clothes for things like bugs and trackers, but I hadn't been able to find anything.

But for her to sneak up on me like this…could it be that I had missed something?

I didn't get time to think more on this as the others came over as well.

When Claire saw her holding the back of my shirt like this, she crossed her arms, revealed a stern look, and turned away with a snort.

When I saw her like this, I gave a cough and Long Shui Ling slowly let go, though there was an unwilling look in her eyes.

But she knew that for now, she couldn't expose our relationship.

Her mother had already talked to her about this and she knew how troublesome it would be if it was suddenly announced.

This luckily worked in my favour.

Ignoring this, I looked at the others and asked, "How are you feeling?"

All of them had nervous looks on their faces since it was their first time in a raid dungeon.

But when I asked them this question, they put on a strong face and said, "I'm fine. There's nothing to worry about."

Though the look in their eyes showed that they were still nervous.

I stepped up here and said, "You don't have to worry about anything. As long as you follow orders, there won't be a problem. There's so many of us here and we have a skilled leader in charge, so you don't have to worry about anything."

They put on a strong face and nodded in agreement, but I could still see the nervousness in their eyes.

At least they didn't seem consumed with their fear, so I didn't say anything else.

Trying to comfort them too much would have an adverse effect, plus being a bit nervous meant being on edge which was a good thing.

Of course, I didn't tell them a single thing about what I had figured out about this raid dungeon expedition.

If they knew that this was also part of the competition, they might snap under the anxiety.

As we were preparing to gather for the orientation, there was a voice that suddenly rang out.

"It seems that we meet again!"

We all recognized this voice since it had only been a day since we had last heard it.

I couldn't help revealing a bitter smile.
