I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 242: Raid dungeon (34)

But they stopped before they reached us and stood around us like they were asking us something.

The other members of my group were confused, but I could slowly figure out what they were saying based on their moans and gestures.

They were referring to the house that we had made.

It was as if they were asking us how we had made this house.

That made sense since it was clear that there was a large difference between the house that we had made and the houses that they had made.

The only thing was…I wasn't sure if we should be teaching them about this.

After all, giving the mummies more knowledge wasn't a good thing since they were monsters that we needed to kill. But then again, would it really be that dangerous to give them this knowledge since it was just about building houses?

No…if they used this knowledge to build a wall, it would definitely be stronger than the wall that they had already built around this town.

So there were consequences to teaching them about this.

To my surprise though, while I was agonizing over whether to teach them or not, Blaze and Kaito already volunteered to teach them.

The look of passion in their eyes, it was clear that they were very excited about doing this.

I even couldn't help wondering if it would have been better for them to go into construction instead of becoming Awakeners. But of course, I knew that going into construction would never be able to compare to becoming an Awakener.

Only by becoming an Awakener could one really change their life.

Since they were so enthusiastic, I decided to let them do it in the end.

I had them tell me what I needed to say before using Suggestion to translate it to the mummies.

There were some problems since it didn't translate properly, but they were able to get the gist of it.

Though the way that the mummies looked at us like we were mummies that had trouble talking was a whole other can of worms.

With the advice that they received from Blaze h the help of Blaze and Kaito, the mummies were slowly able to build up proper houses. In no time at all, there was a proper neighbourhood that was starting to develop.

Since these mummies were undead, it wasn't as if they needed to rest.

They were able to work through the night and keep working even when humans would have run out of strength.

They would be considered the perfect work force, but they were undead in the end, so it was hard to tell when they would attack humans. If there was only a way to tame them and get them to work for humans…

But of course, that was impossible since these were monsters that came from the dungeon.

The dungeon was a completely different world that humans didn't understand yet, so they weren't able to do anything to the monsters of these dungeons.

With the commotion that they were making, there were mummies from further away that came over to see what was happening.

When they learned about this new method of building houses, they immediately started to learn from Blaze and Kaito as well.

As we taught the mummies about how to build houses, it was clear that they were opening up more and more to us. It seemed that working towards a common goal had brought us closer together.

It seemed that there was another benefit that came from teaching these mummies how to build proper houses.

So while they were teaching the mummies through demonstrations, I was talking to the mummies that were just hanging around.

Seeing that I was one of the 'mummies' that taught them this new technique, they immediately gave me a warm welcome and I was able to join in their conversation.

Though I didn't really understand what their conversation was about, I did get the gist of it.

They were talking about things that had happened to them recently.

Just that alone was enough to get plenty of information as long as you listened carefully.

It seemed that not everything was alright for these mummies even though they were now building houses.

It seemed that they still had complaints.

As for who they complained about, it was naturally the one that led them.

There were complaints about forcing them to go deeper and deeper into the second floor where there was a higher concentration of magic power. This higher concentration of magic power was hard for some of the weaker mummies to endure, which caused them injuries just by staying there.

But even when they complained, not a single thing changed.

It seemed that whoever was at the top wasn't willing to listen to the complaints from the bottom.

As for who was at the top…

It was the one that the mummy who brought us here served.

That mummy that brought us here was the overseer for the new arrivals and the one that was in charge of taking care of them. This was a role that had been assigned to that mummy by the one that had taken over this second floor and was assaulting the third floor.

In the moans of the mummies, there was one specific moan that was repeated.

"Szaker."

That was what they called the one that led them.

I didn't know what this meant, but it seemed to represent the one that led them.

From their moans, I was able to gather that this 'Szaker' was a stranger that suddenly came before them one day and took over the second floor. Then after they took over the second floor, this 'Szaker' had taken the ones that showed the most intelligence and brought them under it to control the rest of the mummies that gained intelligence.

It was the one that ordered them to build houses and walls, as well as establishing a guard for the walls.

Whoever this 'Szaker' was, it seemed that they were responsible for the changes in this raid dungeon.
