I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 214: Raid dungeon (6)

After talking for a bit longer, mainly to brag about his fiancee, Tie Gang finally turned to leave.

It seemed that he really cared about the Bing Sisters quite a bit, even though I had no idea what had happened between them in the past.

But that was also an opportunity.

If I could use Tie Gang, wouldn't I be able to approach both Bing Xin and Bing Lan?

I had tried leaving a few suggestions in Tie Gang, but I found that they had been resisted.

As expected of an A Ranker…

Of course, there were a few that had been left in him since they were just basic suggestions.

The way that my power worked was that the more specific the suggestion, the harder it was for me to leave them. If the suggestion were more general and natural, then even a powerful A Ranker wouldn't be able to resist them.

But the general suggestions just weren't as useful as the specific suggestions.

Still, they were better than nothing.

As he was leaving, Tie Gang said, "When the time comes to fight the final boss, be sure to stay in the back. That final boss isn't as easy as one would think…"

I was a bit confused and caught off guard by this, but I still said with a nod, "Alright, I'll be sure to stay behind."

Tie Gang gave a nod before heading off.

As he walked away, I looked at him with a look of deep thought as I tried to figure out what he meant by this.

But I didn't have enough information about the dungeon in the first place to actually come up with an idea.

So when the others came over, I just threw these thoughts out.

As they came over, they all looked at me with looks of awe without saying a single thing.

I could guess why they were looking at me like this, but I didn't say a thing.

In the end, it was Kaito who broke the silence by asking, "Brother Lin, how do you know the leader?"

I looked at him and saw him looking at me with this look of awe, I knew that he had been caught hook, line, and sinker. Since he was the one that was offering himself to me, then it would be wrong for me not to accept this.

So I just calmly said, "We're friends."

The way that I said it in such a cool tone was just too much for them.

I could see the way that their eyes lit up when I said this and they looked like they wanted to worship me.

With this, it was almost guaranteed that I would be the leader of this group.

Though it already seemed like I was going to be the leader with the way that they had been acting around me.

So with this bit of help from Tie Gang, I was able to easily solve a problem that I had been worried about.

Time passed and soon it was time to head into the raid dungeon.

During this time, there were three black lines that were constantly on my head.

I had to listen to these kids going on about their dark sealed powers and all their other cringe back stories. The more that I listened, the more that I felt pain.

It seemed that Kaito's group didn't just have him acting this way, it was all of them that acted like this.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together and that was the case with Kaito's group.

It seemed that all of them suffered from Chuunibyou.

But luckily they had to fall silent once we headed into the dungeon.

We were here on a job, so it wasn't the time to chat anymore.

The formation of our group was as the diagram in the meeting had described, but seeing it in real life really was different.

There were over a hundred different Awakeners gathered here and there were even more supporters in the center of this formation.

At the very head of this formation was Tie Gang who was leading it and at the back was us who were bringing up the rear.

Before heading into the raid dungeon, Tie Gang turned around and said, "Everyone, prepare yourselves. When we're in there, I want everyone to be completely focused."

Then his voice turned a bit colder as he said, "After all, a single momentary distraction could be what decides your life and death."

There was a somber mood that came over the raid dungeon group when they heard this.

They all knew that Tie Gang was right, but for an A Ranker to give them this warning, it really made the picture clear. It showed them just how dangerous this raid dungeon would be.

Tie Gang naturally knew the effect that his words had and how it was bad for their group, but there was a reason why he had said this. So after a pause, he said…

"I will do all I can to ensure that each and every one of you can come back alive. I will put my life in your hands, so I hope that you will put your life in mine."

There was a slow change that came over their group as soon as his voice fell.

Everyone slowly looked up at Tie Gang and when they saw the serious look in his eyes, they could tell that he meant it.

This was real trust that he would put his life in their hands, so of course they had to respond.

It was slow at first, but soon there was a cheer that came over the group as everyone promised that they would do all that they could.

With just a few words, Tie Gang had completely changed the mood of the group.

It had gone from somber to full of passion.

I pretended to go along with it even though I knew what he was doing.

But that didn't stop me from admiring him for his ability to raise morale.

After seeing the group act this way, Tie Gang gave a satisfied nod before turning and saying, "Let's go!"

With that, we entered the raid dungeon.
